MEN OF THE DAY #75 :

🏈 The French rugbyman ANTOINE DUPONT and his teammates of the French Rugby Team 🏈

Today begins the World Rugby Championship, and it's in France. The first match is France against New Zealand.

Antoine Dupont, the captain, is a hot alpha! As a fag, i imagine myself serving him 😍

Massage him and / or his teammates before and after the match, worshipping his manly body, his big gassy butt and his cute feet 😁

Rugbymen are manly, strong, brave, and they are alphas because us losers wants to smell their sweaty body, inhale their farts, clean their feet, wipe their ass... 😁

Currently The World Rugby Team is the main topic of discussions between French people. Lots of brands does advertisements featuring the handsome French rugbymen!

Antoine Dupont is the captain of the French Rugby Team, but to me he is a King 👑

He is maybe the shortest player of the French Rugby Team, but he is the most charismatic, he is muscled and charming 😍

Here is the MAN OF THE DAY article i wrote about him. Don't hesitate to like and comment it 🙏

Here are the members of the French Rugby team 🏈. You'll find their age, weight and height. Which one is your favorite? 🤔

Here are some of my favorite team members

With rugbymen i prefer men who aren't too strong and manly so they aren't frightening

Charles OLLIVON

Jean-Pascal BARRAQUE

Matthieu JALIBERT

Damien PENAUD

Gregory ALDRITT

Melvyn JAMINET

I like others but i love these ones because they are tall, charismatic, kind, hot, muscled..

I want them to kiss me and at the same time to farts and burps on my face, forcing me to lick their armpits, giant feet, drink their pee...

I'd like to be the boyfriend of one of them😊, or else their wimpy small waterboy! 😂

If they win tonight, or even if they loses, i want them or at least one of them to humiliate me to entertain himself and his teammates! Making me sniff his farts, lick his feet, eat their turds, suck their dick... 🥵

And you? Do you feel the same about them or about rugbymen in general ? If there is alpha rugbymen you worship, tell me 😀

I've Got These Friends...

6. All Alone

I've Got These Friends... (AO3)

Nadine - age 17

Luka - age 17

___________________________________________

The school was eerily quiet this late in the day. As far as she knew, everyone save for a few of the teachers and the custodial staff had gone home for the day. Which just left her and the empty dance studio, and the occasional echo of cleaning carts going up and down the hall. It was only a matter of time before someone came to kick her out, but the custodians were usually pretty understanding and wouldn’t kick people out until they had to. 

So for the time being, she was essentially on her own. 

Just her and the music. 

And this stupid choreography. 

Except, that wasn’t really fair… The choreography wasn’t stupid… 

She huffed in frustration as she bailed out of the Italian fouetté. That was the third time she had messed it up today. She never had this much trouble with  choreography. And it wasn’t even hip hop! There was no reason she should be having any trouble with this, let alone this much trouble. 

Especially since she had done it, if not perfectly than at least almost perfectly, yesterday. 

Sighing, she crossed the floor to where her phone was plugged into the speaker and restarted the music. She made her way back to centre, and let the familiar swell of the music wash over her. By this point, she probably didn’t even need the music; she had been at it so long she practically had it memorized. 

She ignored the aches in her feet and the soreness creeping into her muscles as she went through the steps. Every move was perfect. 

Except…  

As the Italian fouetté section drew nearer, what felt like a million akumas began to swirl in her stomach. Every motion of the steps ricocheted off the inside of her head, swirling in a cloud of unwelcome and unwanted chaos as her feet slid into position to prepare for the fouettés. 

The first fouetté was sloppy, but at least she had made it through it this time.

The second one was shaky. 

The third one… 

She tried to place her arms perfectly. Extend her leg perfectly. Keep a serene and effortless smile on her face. Just like Mme. Clément had instructed her to. Except all she could focus on was how nothing was right and none of it was good enough. So she had squeezed her eyes shut, despite knowing better. 

Without her place on the wall to spot, she stumbled out of the turn. Angrily, she wiped tears of frustration from her eyes as the music continued on without her.

“Nadine?” 

She screamed at the unexpected voice. She whirled to find Luka standing in the door the the dance studio, his guitar case slung across his back and his hair looking more dishevelled than usual.

“Luka? What are you doing here? I thought I was alone!” 

He offered her an apologetic smile. “Sorry. I was…” the smile dropped from his face as he sighed and dragged a hand through his hair, messing it up even further. “The song I’m working on, well, I’m stuck right now. Been going in circles for a while now.” 

“The song for Marinette?” 

“You’ve been talking with Jules too much,” he said, rolling his eyes. And not answering her question. Which meant it was a yes. “What’re you doing here?” 

“Can’t you tell?” she asked with a wry laugh, gesturing to her leotard and tights and the speakers, from which the music was still playing. 

“You’ve been at it a while though, haven’t you? Your last class ends before mine.” 

“Yeah, well,” she said, turning to face the mirror. “I keep messing it up.” 

In the reflection of the mirror, she watched as Luka settled himself against the doorframe. “It looked good from where I was standing, until you got in your own head.” 

“Good isn’t enough,” she mumbled as she tried to find her place in the song to get back into the steps. 

“You can’t be perfect all the time,” he scoffed in that comforting way of his. 

“I’m not perfect,” she mumbled, crossing her arms as she looked away from the reflection of his gaze, giving up on the choreo entirely.  

“No one is. Now are you going to tell me what’s got you so stuck in your own head?” 

 “I didn’t get the commercial,” she admitted. 

“But this isn’t the first time,” he said, prompting her to continue on. 

He was right. That was just show business. She couldn’t expect to land every role. There were plenty of roles she hadn’t landed before, whether she hadn’t been the right look, or she had been too old or too young. But this time… “When they found out they could get Adrien Agreste, they decided I wasn’t good enough. They revamped the entire concept for the commercial so they could cast him.” 

In the mirrors, she saw Lukas brows furrow. She knew about Luka’s complicated relationship with Adrien, not that he would ever call it that. He was too nice for that. She on the other hand… 

“He can’t even act!” she blurted out, throwing her hands up in frustration. “And I… it just sucks, you know? Losing out to someone because of who they are or their connection. I know that makes me sound like a hypocrite but you know me.” 

“I do,” he sad quietly. His voice was comforting, but his expression was dark.  

“I’m sorry,” she said quietly. Of course he knew what that was like, what with the music video incident that had gone down with Kitty Section and XY, back when Kitty Section had still been together. 

His expression lightened; it was still heavy, but the darkness had faded. “I think we’ve both spun ourselves in circles enough for tonight. And you and I both know the worst thing for us is to be alone at times like these. We’re doing take-out tonight, ma wouldn’t mind if you dropped by.”

A small smile crept across her face. “That would be nice. My parents are out tonight anyways, I’ll just text Isabelle that she shouldn’t expect me for dinner.”

Luka nodded. “You pack up, I’ll shut down the sound system.” 

“Thanks,” she said gratefully, before hobbling on her aching feet to where she had dumped her backpack and rehearsal bag. “You know,” she said as she kicked off her character shoes and pulled her joggers on over her leotard, “maybe you wouldn’t be spinning yourself in circles if you just asked Marinette out already.”

Miraculous x High Fashion Pt.1

Adrien x Paris x Yves Saint Laurent

I don't think it'll come off as a surprise to anyone that Adrien represents Parisian Fashion Week, embodying the pre-eminent Parisian designer, protégé of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent.

Saint Laurent is famous for its smoking jackets, dark colours, sleek silhouettes, and elegant yet simple cuts. Parisian fashion, additionally, builds off the philosophy of chic décontracté, casual chic. Populated by the creativity of Coco Chanel and Céline, Parisian style doesn't heap layers upon layers, patterns upon patterns, instead relying on the wearer's natural charm, good posture, and good attitude to breath life into their clothing. Adrien is a simple person, but that doesn't mean he's unsophisticated. Premium fabrics such as silk and wool are his language, accessories is but a secondary attribute to an overall appearance of class.

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

Can the Son of a Villainess Ever Be Happy? Ch 1

~This is an alternate universe fanfic where Adrien's deceased mom was the notorious villain, Mayura. The pressure from her unsavory legacy pushes Adrien to make his Miraculous hero debut as his alter-alter-ego, Cat Walker, until he realizes he doesn't have to be perfect to be a competent hero.

---

Chapter 1: Keeping Up Appearances 

Cat Walker couldn't stop himself from marveling at Ladybug's lithe frame as she leaped into the sky. She threw her yo-yo, tying up the akumatized victim and yanking him off his feet.

She pinned the akuma, aka "The Grandmaster," to the pavement, putting a boot to his chest. He squirmed under the pressure of her foot.

"We don't have to do this, Ladybug. Just give me you and Cat Walker's Miraculous and Mayura's ring that's in the possession of the Agrestes, and I may let you win."

She rolled her eyes. It's amazing how akumas think they can just talk their way into getting anything they want. "Tell Night Moth he can keep his laundry list of demands. Cat Walker, do your thing!"

"You got it, Ladybug!" Cat Walker refocused. He leaped from the light post where he was perched and landed next to the akumatized victim. He removed the ivory crown that the akuma wore.

"Cataclysm!" The crown disintegrated in his gloved hands, releasing a purplish black butterfly.

Ladybug caught the butterfly with her yo-yo and purified it. Then she threw her Lucky Charm, a ladybug themed chessboard, into the air. A stream of magical ladybugs swept through and restored things to normal.

The akuma was revealed to be an older man. They asked him if he was okay, and he confessed that he had lost his temper after losing a game of chess in the park. He shook his head.

"I don't know what came over me."

Ladybug patted his shoulder sympathetically. 

"It's okay, Mr. Laurent. That's why we're here to keep everyone safe. Here, take this charm."

She handed him a ladybug shaped charm that materialized out of her yo-yo.

"Keep this on you. It’lll protect you from getting re-akumatized."

He thanked them both again and went on his way.

Ladybug turned to Cat Walker with frustration. "You heard the villain's demands, right?"

He let out a sigh. "Yeah. Gabriel made a public statement saying that Night Moth's singling out his family for Mayura's ring is delusional. But, it hasn't stopped him."

Ladybug bit her lower lip. "The Agreste family has a lot of resources, and they've been able to stay safe so far, but I'm still worried about them."

Cat Walker lightly touched her arm. "They're going to be okay. I told you I'll look after them."

Her eyes went wide and her cheeks flushed a deeper pink. "I know you're captivating--I mean competent. Competent. I know you're fully competent, Kitty."

She grinned sweetly after saying his nickname, and he couldn't hold back a closed lipped smile that made his eyes twinkle.

Cat Walker patted her head with a gloved hand. He loved the silkiness of her night sky hair. Both of their Miraculous beeped. They were going to transform back soon.

He pulled out his baton and shot a narrow look at Ladybug over his shoulder. "Well, spending time with you has been captivating. Goodbye, Ladybug."

Ladybug's mouth dropped. "Are you--are you teasing me?"

The left corner of his lips twitched.

"I never tease."

Ladybug nodded slowly and smirked at him. "Right."

With that he extended his baton and bounded away.

[jesuis-melodrama]

Excuse me please, I have a question that I would like to ask. What do you think the Gabriel Agreste brand would look like in real life, or just in general? I ask this because I'm a newbie when it comes to fashion and because I want the fic that i'm writing, Émerveiller, to tid bits of fashion in it. I want to really understand how to talk about Gabriel as a brand and fashion in in my fics. I want to write a Gabriel who does Haute Couture and not Fast Fashion. How I write him will be up for debate, but the part that I really don't want to get wrong is the fashion aspect. I say this because fashion itself is an integral part of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir so for my Miraculous fic, I really want be close with my writing of Gabriel as the brand and other fashion oriented characters.

I ask this of you because when I read your fics you have seem to have a way with describing fashion that I really like. Especially when talking about the Gabriel brand or talking about the things that Lila and Adrien wear.

Sorry about asking this her, but I couldn't find the ask on your other blogs. You don't have to answer If you don't want to just wanted to get this out there.

Also this Regaluns_Imagination the who wrote Émerveiller if your wondering.

Thank You, Regalun.

Not, it's completely fine, I'm quite happy to answer any question related to fashion.

Opinion first: Miraculous Ladybug is a show centred on fashion, but I personally don't think it does so particularly well, because a lot of the fashion is abysmal and because fashionable character never get a chance to show their talent. Marinette, for example, makes one-off hats and honestly uninspiring unisex fashion lines and Gabriel, even though he owns a fashion maison, there's never any episodes devoted to his career. Adrien walks down the catwalk wearing the same suit in three seasons. Fashion isn't a focus in Miraculous Ladybug, it's a backdrop for the superhero business. In fact, I think fans are a lot more fashion-focused than the writers themselves, a lot of their designs do surpass canon.

Back onto topic: If you want to write haute couture, you should know that it's not just a fashion term to be thrown around, there's strict guidelines on what kind of fashion can be considered haute couture. The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture is a French governing body who, alone, has the power to decide what can legally be sold as haute couture. Fashion houses has to follow strict rules such as:

Designs must be one-of-a-kind, and the buyer must attend up to five fittings.

An atelier that must employ at least 15 full-time staff.

50 original designs must be created during each biannual fashion season.

Not all luxury fashion is haute couture. Dior, CHANEL, and Fendi are haute couture. Bulgari, Loewe, and Acne Studio are not. A big thing about haute couture is that it must be one-of-a-kind. No buyer wants to spend around 25,000 euros on a dress only to realise someone else can wear it as well. All the dresses and suits you see on the MET Gala red carpet, for example, are haute couture made for that specific celebrity only. They now own the dress and its design, and no one else can ever wear something similar.

Haute couture is also, rightfully, accused of being Euro-centric. Because of its demands and Paris-based governmental body, most fashion houses considered haute couture are French, Italian, and Spanish. The only Asian haute couture designer I know is Yuima Nakazako.

Haute couture is different from prêt-à-porter, or ready-made fashion, where the clothes are mass-produced in general sizes such as small, medium, or large, and your favourite pair of Versace pink satin pumps can also be someone else's favourite pair of Versace pink satin pumps.

According to Thomas Astruc, Gabriel Agreste is as famous as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent, or Michael Kors. But that statement doesn't give us an idea of how Gabriel designs, only what kind of fashion designer he's as famous as.

Personally Gabriel Agreste seems like the very classic Parisian, black-and-white chic to me. I also do think YSL when I see him, but only because Adrien would look amazing in Saint Laurent.

In a lot of my fics, Adrien wears YSL's legendary smoking jacket and Wyatt harness boots.

I hope this helps and let me know if you need any more help :).
