Enemies AU with Chat Noir and Argos except while Ladybug and Chat Noir are having a complicated Enemies-To-Tentative-Allies-To-Friends(?)-To-Genuine-Trust-To-Lovers Arc with Argos suffering just watching the whole charade of dancing around each other, the moment Ryuko comes into play, they speedrun that arc in record time and suddenly the tables have turned with Chat Noir third wheeling Feligami’s (Ryargos’?) flirt-fighting while he and Ladybug are still stuck in between the Friends(?) and Genuine Trust stage.
Ladybug would lecture Ryuko to stop making out with the enemy… If it weren’t surprisingly useful at keeping Argos at bay. (Should she start making out with Chat Noir? For tactical reasons, of course. She definitely doesn’t think about making out with Chat Noir for any other reasons, uh-uh.)
Also the tables have turned further because usually Chat Noir is giving Argos heart attacks with how reckless and self-sacrificial he is but now Chat Noir has to try and shake some sense into him because, “Félix, Félix, she can TAKE your brooch if she’s that close to you— she almost did!” And Argos, having recently made out with Ryuko, is still very dazed and in Loverboy Mode so he’s there like, “It’s… Fine. I can keep it safe.” Very unconvincingly and Chat Noir is like, “Do you think she’ll stop trying to take it??” And Argos smiles softly and says, “No.” and Chat Noir just. Stops trying to convince him not to kiss her and just tells him to be careful.

"Jared is a great guy"
He never said such praising words to Misha at the panels. he just insulting him in the name of a joke.
https://twitter.com/FangasmSPN/status/1642567628118974464?s=19
That's actually hilarious. He doesn't need to say it because it's just clear how much he genuinely loves, respects and admires Misha. Actions speak louder than words.
Besides, it counts more how you talk about someone when they're not around than to their face, and if you're comfortable enough with someone to constantly joke with them and you both have that 100% comfortable and happy aura while doing it, it just means that you're very close to that person. Like, you would never jokingly insult a friend that you're not really close with because they may get offended, but you could even safely call your best friend stupid because you're both close enough to know you would never mean it literally, but only affectionately or as an inside joke.
That said, he speaks too. When Jensen was at the Con Crossroads 6 in Brighton last March with Daneel, they both couldn't stop talking about Misha during their panel (and Misha wasn't even present at that Con), like literally nobody even asked about Misha, but they both kept bringing him up in their replies, praising him for his charity work with Random Acts and talking about him (and Cas).
There are definitely hundreds of other examples I could bring but this is just one of the most recent ones that i can think of.
Like at the Jib11 Jensen said that "Daneel refers to Misha as her boyfriend", and then he added, "which is funny cause so do I" and then he genuinely laughed in a super sweet way (it was in one of his panels, i don't remember which one, you can see it on YouTube).
To sum up:
* They're literally friends *

I know you are more of a Marvel person, but do you know whether Madame Xanadu was ever confirmed to be Romani? I keep finding her on a bunch of Romani comic character lists, but I can’t find anything on whether she’s actually Romani or was just styled after stereotypes.
Can anyone explain why the DC wiki such a trainwreck? It's really not a useable resource, and it's literally never helpful when I get DC questions.
I honestly just haven't read anything that Madame Xanadu is in. it's entirely possible that she has been stated, or at least implied, to be actually Romani at some point, but without an an accessible resource that can tell me when that happened or even just give me a decent framework for her publication history, I really don't know where to start looking. I'd like to give a more informed answer, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of work.
My understanding is that, in most continuities, Madame Xanadu is a centuries-old immortal whose true identity is Nimue, the Lady of the Lake from Welsh mythology and Arthurian legend. The character of Nimue is often depcited as a sort of fairy or goddess, and in DC comics, she is one of the ancient predecessors of the homo magi, which are distinct, separate race of humanity.
In my mind, that character cannot feasibly be Romani and would never be able to provide any kind of meaningful representation. She's been alive in Europe for longer than the Romani diaspora has existed. DC has a pattern of retroactively tacking Romani ethnic identity onto characters in way that actually makes them worse, not better (Ice, and in most cases, Nightwing) or to justify the fact that they're obviously based on racist stereotypes (Cynthia Reynolds). I think with Xanadu they should just drop the gypsy fortuneteller schtick and revamp her design to be either a more general fantasy aesthetic, or something that pays homage to her Celtic origins.

I like the idea of an extremely pro mage/ anti chantry warden getting watered down and basically propagandatized by the chantry
Like Aviae hates the circles with a passion, and is actively outspoken about that. Shes killed templar's by the end of awakening, and has almost zero remorse about doing so because they hurt her best friend! Her whole life has been spent under Templar control and she's angry and pissed off about it. She may have played the perfect pupil in the circle (only because she was terrified, she was so scared of the brand that it made her sick to her stomach) but now that shes out? She refuses to be quiet about it
However. The chantry can't have someone that important speaking ill about them, can they? Luckily, Aviae has a distaste for politics (even if she becomes fairly okay at them out of necessity), and generally avoids the public eye so the chantry does what they do best (and lies). The hero of Fereldan? Oh yes, she was a Circle mage. Yes she was the epitome of a good mage; she followed the rules and did as she was told. In fact, her success just proves how well the circles work! If it weren't for her years of discipline, surely Fereldan would have been doomed to fail.
Idk I really like the idea of the hof being used as a form of propaganda by the circle, especially non human and mage origins. Even better if they died killing the Archdemon because what are they gonna do, contradict them? They cant! They're dead and their image is being used as propaganda
