Do you think Adrien is a nice guy or incel? I mean he does have an Asian fetish (speaks Japanese, a white person who likes Asians is very common on incel sites such as r/aznidentity) and he acts entitled to LB and gets mad at her for not being his gf
I'm leaning more to the Nice Guy TM as opposed to the incel angle. Just because, in general, incels take on a more... hateful ideology.
Putting this under a cut because it got long lol
Like to be clear, he's not 'nice' he's a Nice Guy TM in that he's got the standard manipulative, pitiable kind of attitude alongside the expectation of 'if I be her friend, then she owes me love/dating/sex etc.' This kind of attitude does stem from a limited, patriarchal world-view, where men/boys can only have intimate relationships with women/girls, because "men only feel anger and sex and that means you can't have an intimate friendship with your male friends" along with the expectation that women/girls treat their male friends like friends because they're romantically inclined (because men are encouraged by the patriarchy to treat women as less than human unless they're romantically inclined). So like. This whole mess bundles together to create Nice Guys and incels because Patriarchy.
I think it was Glaciator that gave us the clearest view of this attitude in Adrien, when he took Maribug to see his rooftop surprise, gave her a flower, kissed her cheek and told her that Maribug's friendship is the greatest gift, before he went home and told Plagg that when Maribug finally realises her feelings for him, he'll be waiting.
Combining this with the fact that Adrien pressures Maribug almost every single episode, and the 'Milady' nickname which just screams Nice Guy, it gives off major Nice Guy vibes. (Personally, I think most people don't realise it because Adrien is conventionally attractive and rich and most Nice Guys...aren't.)
And to go more in-depth with why I don't think Adrien is an incel as opposed to a Nice Guy is well. He genuinely thinks he respects Maribug, and we never really see Adrien taking his romantic frustrations out on the general female population (or even have it implied). Like, we know he doesn't actually respect Maribug, otherwise he'd let the matter drop, but as pushy as he gets he doesn't get overtly violent. Passive-aggressive, manipulative, increasingly unhelpful, definitely, but we're missing the violence/potential violence that takes a Nice Guy that step further into incel territory.
Like there's not really any threat of Adrien following Maribug home, or sending her threats over text, or threatening her with personal harm to himself or whatever. Other people might make other distinctions between the two categories, and there's a whole lot of overlap, but I firmly believe Adrien is a Nice Guy.
Like to compare Adrien's Nice Guy TM with Luka's nice guy there's a pretty stark difference.
During Frozer Luka encouraged Marinette to go after and talk to Adrien, even though the whole situation very much felt like a double-date. (And it was implied by this time that both Marinette and Luka liked each other, at least a *tiny* bit.)
In Copycat, Adrichat got so jealous of the artist expressing his admiration for Maribug, that he was rude enough to get the dude akumatised.
Luka confessed to Marinette in Silencer, and left the matter entirely in her hands. Very low pressure.
Adrichat confessed properly in Glaciator? Frozer? (idk can't remember 100% but it was one of the two) and to this time, 2 seasons on, he still hasn't let the matter drop and basically tricked Maribug into going on a date with him. (Gang of Secrets or Lies idk).
Like Adrien is persistent to the point that it's harassment, he's manipulative and sneaky, he guilt-trips Maribug what feels like every other episode, and what's more Season 4 has shown us that he's violent towards anyone and anything he perceives as competition.
Luka was straightforward and honest with his feelings, endlessly patient, and never offered more than gentle encouragement when other characters would've been forcing and demanding Marinette for action and answers.
I think I've covered everything but I will point out that having what very much feels like a fetish for East-Asian girls, isn't really a deciding factor in Adrien being an incel or Nice Guy. It just means he's racist. Probably not on purpose, but it's just as damaging as someone being overtly purposefully racist. (Will point out tho that he's learning Mandarin, a Chinese dialect, not Japanese.)

Wow! Writers got on completely new level. They somehow made people to be annoyed with Adrien, even without putting him in episode.
My meme image of “I’ve had enough of this dude,” about sums it up.
It’s almost impressive???

I have the impression that you should slowly gather materials for "Treatment of Marinette S4"

Hey there... Got a lil rant, I hope you don't mind in sea of anons you're probably getting. I guess if show didn't treat Marinette as their favorite punching bag and lukanette as a thing to get over with to be back on love square bullshit I wouldn't be this salty. We all knew lukanette isn't a endgame, but we actually care about Luka ans Marinette as characters and as a couple, and we knew there was a break up brewing.
But I mlb writers for setting things up, canonizing them over provocative tweet and leave them to dust right at the beginning of s4. And, oh sweet irony as they kinda accidentally made Lukanette totally better than love square (let's be honest if they knew what they were doing we wouldn't get any breakup from narrative and character development standpoint),,, because their heroine for once is loved and appreciated but that's another discussion and they hate that for her. Also, thomas arstruck can suck my toe.
I don't know what's your opinion on soulmate and destiny thing, but I'm totally in opposite. I remember The Good Place (love the series btw!) quote about how soulmates are made with love and nurture of people and not some cosmic forces. And to see how show is pushing for Destiny ™️ I'm kinda disheartened. But I guess I never really liked love square execution in the first place when it turned out that Marinette is butt of the crush joke for 3 seasons and there's 0 development from that. Like Thomas, that's not funny running gag. Thanks for reading! Hope you're doing well!
Thank you for the rant, and I agree!
It’s so strange how all their attempts to push for the love square just push me more towards Lukanette. How do the writers do that???
Anonymous said:
Yeah that point where she exclaims Luka in shock just angered and confused me. She LITERALLY transformed because Luka was akumatized. And her being shocked is only there to get her under the truth spell.
This episode is held together by knots and strings at this point.
Anonymous said:
Wow, "Ladybug likes Chat Noir humor." Then why every time Chat Noir makes puns, Ladybug looks like she wanted to strangle him on spot.
Ladybug = us
At that point, they should’ve just said, “[The writers] like Chat Noir’s humor.” Like--writers, please don’t use Ladybug as a tool to simp for your sunshine boy, it looks really pathetic.

Based on the ellipses you used I'm guessing you're not a fan of Jagged talking about the "Guitar is my only family" song.
Oh, no actually... I mean, I do because it’s there to torment Luka, but the ellipses was because of the intentional pause in the episode. Jagged was looking sympathetic
Anonymous said:
Truth was awful, the only good thing we got out of it was a Lukanette date (yay :'D) and we got to know Luka's father (although we all been knew).
Honestly if we could find a way to edit it so Luka and Marinette properly kissed then we’d just chop it out of the episode and call it the only canon thing.
asexual-individual said:
So, given that "Truth" didn't introduce the protection charms, I'm going to take a wild guess that they're not introduced until after "Gang of Secrets", meaning that Marinette won't get any close friends that it's safe to tell her secret to.
I was legit so sure that it was a guardian benefit and now I’m just left confused/curious about what causes CharmBug. Like, what, do you get CharmBug by purifying your one thousandth akuma???
Anonymous said:
I am absolutely positive no one quality checks these episodes before they’re sent out. Ladybug getting caught off guard on Luka being Truth even though she knows he was akumatised, and the horribly upbeat music playing as Marinette lies in bed absolutely defeated is so bad there’s no way this was double checked before it was sent out to TV stations
At this point, I’m convinced that they don’t care and are jamming through episodes as fast as they possible can.

I'm willing to bet that the writers go through critical and salt blogs just to see what the fandom's thinking, and then they think we're serious and they sprint with whatever we say.
guys please reconsider and also lower your alcohol levels
Anonymous said:
It was awful in general, but why add the paternity thing in the break-up ep? It detracts from, well, everything else and makes obvious they are copypasting fan theories instead of thinking of plot points.
I really do think they knew that Luka being upset over Marinette’s secret wasn’t enough to akumatize him so he needed something else.
Anonymous said:
Let me get something straight: The episode was explicitly about Marinette going on dates with Luka and that they were together. Yet Juleka is once again part of the shipping squad with obligatory "Marinette is only weird because she's with Adrien"-theories, and she's totally cool with that?
Yup! :3
guys I just adore mob mentality, did you know.
guys--
Anonymous said:
Ok, but the fact that everyone considers Marinette’s crush on Adrien to be her big secret is stupidly unrealistic. They KNOW they’re all aware of it - the girl squad even figured it out by themselves before they were told and think it’s totally obvious (as long as you’re a girl cause guys are clueless about feelings right). As far as they’re concerned it’s not actually a secret so they SHOULD be spilling the things they think only they and Marinette know. I mean, I can think of dozens of possibilities for Tom and the rest of the girls already, but Alya?
We had a front row seat to the damning secret Alya knows from back in season 1, but I guess asking this show to acknowledge continuity is too much. Still, the episode could have been so much more interesting if Alya had said, “Marinette’s the one who really gave Adrien the scarf for his birthday, but he looked so happy thinking it was from his father that she couldn’t bear to tell him that Gabriel hadn’t actually gotten him anything.” (I suppose reminding people of that wouldn’t fit into the writers’ poor attempts to make Gabriel sympathetic though 🙄).
Lol, just imagine the entire battle being sidetracked by Luka being brought to tears by how selfless and sweet his girlfriend is while Shadow Moth is too distracted by how this will ruin his reputation to get him back on track.

YES.
ALL OF THIIIIIS.
THIS IS AMAZING.

Marinette deserves to tell Luka she's Ladybug and have some support on her side tbh, it's disgusting to see the writers breaking up clearly the only thing that brings her joy and peace currently
HONESTLY.
And judging from that one trailer, she IS going to tell someone her secret and it’ll probably be freaking Alya; you know, the girl who blabbed about her Adrien crush to Nino and is thus THE LEAST TRUTHWORTHY PERSON. (”bonus” if it’s before the amulets)
I’m having nightmares already about Alya distrusting Lila because Marinette is Ladybug and not because Alya believes in Marinette. DX

Now that it’s been confirmed (in the worst way possible) that Jagged Stone is in fact Luka’s (and possibly Juleka’s?) father, how would you handle the whole mixed family aspect considering Jagged and Anarka’s relationship, Jagged and Penny’s, Anarka and Penny’s, Jagged and Luka’s (and Juleka’s?), and Penny and Luka’s (and Juleka’s?)? Topics like mixed families and family relationships are something that needs to be handled sensibly and sensitively given how it hits home for a lot of real-world people. Since we obviously can’t trust the ML writers to handle such topics the way that they deserve to be, how would you go about it knowing what we know up to this point about each character on their own and how they interact with one another?
Luka and Juleka were “accidents,” but Anarka kept it a secret from Jagged since Jagged was already hyped up to go on his next tour and Anarka knew their relationship was crumbling (possibly he already dumped her as his guitarist and she was annoyed about it). Jagged eventually learns that he has kids and is hesitant towards the idea, but because of him doting on Marinette (who’s the same age as his kids), he opens up to the idea.
Anarka and Jagged in present are mixed between tolerating each other for the sake of their kids and being chaotic best friends. The bad blood died out a while ago and there’s occasional tension but because Anarka is a single woman not interested in Jagged and Jagged is single with a possible thing for Penny, they make it work
Anarka and Penny have an awkward relationship. Penny wants to schedule time for Jagged to hang with Luka and Juleka and Anarka is confused at the very concept of a schedule, like just take them whenever okay??? isn’t it easier that way??? and Penny is like, “...oh, I guess so?”
Jagged and Penny, it depends on if they’re in any sort of relationship. If they’re in a relationship, Penny is either open to the idea of him learning to be good with kids if she’ll eventually want kids with him, or mixed because these are another woman’s kids and it’s really awkward. If they’re not in a relationship, then Penny could also be mixed since she’s crushing on him but I could also see her either finding it sweet that Jagged wants to hang out with his kids or finding it a hassle to schedule them in.
Jagged and Luka is rough. Luka has so many conflicting feelings on his idol ending up being his father. Jagged will probably even comment on Luka’s shirt + necklace and all of Luka’s merch in an attempt to bond but that kind of comes off desperate/awkward and Luka’s not about that life. I could also see Luka taking all the stuff down and swapping out his shirt, but being hesitant to remove the necklace because it’s a gift from Marinette. He might try to wash off the signature. He knows it’s not Jagged’s fault exactly but Anarka seemed to have bad blood with him and even if they get along now, Luka’s bitter. Jagged meanwhile wants to connect with Luka because hey musician energy!! but is gonna mess up a lot and say a lot of awkward things. Marinette will probably have to be a middle man between the two because it’s easier for them to talk with her around.
Jagged and Juleka don’t have a significant relationship at first. Juleka never care who her father was and she wasn’t crazy about Jagged Stone like Luka was. Jagged does try to connect with her but they clash majorly due to Jagged being so “loud” and Juleka being so quiet. Jagged will see it as a huge accomplishment the day where Juleka says something coherent (i.e: not a mumble) to him.
Yeah though, keep in mind for all of this that I’m not a family relationship kinda girl, so this isn’t my forte (I’m probably the most sympathetic to Jagged out of the whole fandom; not to say I agree with his actions but I have a history of hating babies and children, so not cool of him if he ditched Anarka but like, I get it, doesn’t make him better but I get it from a non-realistic standpoint of “ew, parenting”).

You know what? Imma gonna ignore canon for a bit more than I’ve been doing. The only thing I take away from “Truth” is that Marinette loves Luka and Tikki looks adorable in hats. That’s it have a good Saturday! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Anonymous said:
If there’s one small detail that I thought was genuinely cute this episode, it’s Tikki posing in the mirror with her little hat collection.
Ahaha, those are good takeaways!
And yes, Tikki looked good in hats, but at what cost. (guys, where’s our jealous Tikki episode where Tikki is jealous of the attention Marinette has to give the other kwami wait no they’d just make it Marinette’s fault go back go ba--)
Anonymous asked:
Am I the only on squicked out by how Adrien acts all noble and claims he would never force Ladybug to tell him anything, but when it becomes apparent that he has to ask her a question before the akuma can he goes all ‘what are your three favorite things about me?’ :3c I mean, he had decent amount of time to think up a bunch of innocent questions that couldn’t hurt her in any way like ‘what is your favorite color?’ or ‘do you like cookies?’ or even ‘what’s the capitol of France?’ But instead he basically demands she compliment him. Coming from a guy who spent most of the last two seasons refusing to take ‘no’ for an answer that’s a bit… icky.
THIS
He could’ve phrased it in any way and he used it to get compliments from her. :|
At least Ladybug asked a legitimate question about how he felt about her guardian status.
Anonymous said:
I had this idea for an episode: Luka finds out that Marinette is LB because he is in danger. Let's say he gets yeeted off a building by an akuma and Marinette (in her civilian form) jumps after him, transforms while Luka sees it (he's shook, obviously), she grabs him and saves him from falling. I think that would be pretty epic, do you think you could write a one-shot based on that idea if you feel like that? I would forever be thankful. Have a nice day!
I like the idea, though I feel like that’s been done a lot before in identity reveal fanfics.
Anonymous said:
You know, despite them all getting interrupted, I thought the attempts at Lukanette dates was really cute. Luka picking up Marinette from school, the two trying to see who is the biggest jagged fan, getting ice cream at Andre's, it's really cute! I only wish Hawkmoth and the writers weren't such dickheads.
It’s so adorable!
Like--show, you aren’t doing a good job at getting me off the Lukanette train.
Anonymous said:
Are you sure the Lukanette breakup wasn't Marinette's fault? I mean, the episode frames it like she's refusing to tell the truth, even if it's for a good reason.
I’m not sure when I said that the episode didn’t frame it as her fault?
Things are ALWAYS Marinette’s fault, it’s literally a rule of the show.
Anonymous said:
You know the truth episode actually gives more reasons for lukanette in my opinion based of its description you said. Luka is ridiculously understanding and also almost manages to fight off hawk moth as well as taking probably a week at least for him to get to that and yet he, while he’s upset, still tries to be there for marinette. Also makes the relationships she has with her friends and family worse if the secret they think she has is that she likes adrien while dating Luka.
YES!!
And oh my gosh, I feel the friends and family comment so badly. Just throwing it out there, maybe you guys don’t actually support her???
Anonymous said:
How do you feel about Luka having no negative reaction to this whole "Marinette loves Adrien" thing? I understand that he isn't exactly the jealous type, but still, it seems weird to me that he just accepts it while Marinette is dating him. I love Luka a lot, but in this situation his reaction was just so unrealistic...
Honestly, I find it really interesting. Plus, it’s Truth who’s being told those things, not Luka, and Truth has other priorities.
And--I mean, I’m positive that Luka got into the relationship knowing that Marinette wasn’t completely over Adrien. She wanted to see if they’d work and he wanted to date her. It’s both of them being a little selfish in a way and I like that.
That’s why I think he doesn’t have a big reaction to the Adrien call. He seems amused more than anything, and Luka is empathetic also so he knows not to take Marinette’s stammering/mistakes to heart because she doesn’t mean them. We already had evidence of that in “Desperada.”
writingamongther0ses said:
Even if Lukanette had stayed together, I have a feeling Alya would complain that it's not Adrien...which could lead to a character growth opportunity for her when her complaining leads to Luka getting hurt when he overhears and becomes an akuma. But that's too interesting.
Interesting character relationships??? In THIS show???
never

The fact that the second episode released managed to get a bingo really says a lot about how predictable the show's garbage fire writing.

I knew the Lukanette episode would be a big card filler but DAMN.
Anonymous said:
I hated all of Truth, but perhaps the worst part was how hard they tried to remind you that, no matter how much of a good time Marinette and Luka have together, it's Adrien who Marinette will end up with in the end. From Alya rudely insinuating "girl, you're acting stupid, is Adrien at your house?", to Luka receiving a PICTURE of Adrien from a kwami, to Marinette talking on the phone with Luka while her Adrien pictures are in the background, to Marinette CALLING LUKA ADRIEN, to Truth demanding that people tell him Marinette's secret, only for them ALL to say "She's in love with Adrien Agreste.".
It's absolutely anger-inducing because it tries too hard to let the audience know to forget about Luka because Adrien is lurking in the corner and he and Marinette are endgame. The fans are right, Luka IS a second choice, but not in the way they think. Luka's a second choice, not for Marinette, but for the Miraculous Ladybug world. for the WRITERS!!!
But what bothers me the most is that everyone saying that Marinette loves Adrien is accepted as truth even when Marinette herself says she's over Adrien. Her words are ignored, how she feels is ignored, because everyone else(including the girl squad, when they're supposed to be her "friends") tells her that she's supposed to be in love with Adrien, and so she "has" to go along with it because ENDGAME. It's the show saying "stupid naive Marinette, you're too immature and dumb to know how you really feel, let someone else do the thinking for you!"
Meanwhile Adrien moving on with Kagami is accepted even when he still flirts with Ladybug(and forces her to build up his ego when he asks her what she admires most about him; I know it was a spur of the moment thing, but meta-wise, it was obvious love square pushing.), because "he's trying to respect her feelings and date someone else!" It's one of the main gripes I have with the show: that teenage girls are too emotional and confused to know what they really want, but teenage boys are mature and rational enough to make up their minds about who they love without holding any animosity towards anyone.
The all-white, all-male writing team pushes the Chinese girl's feelings aside and forces her to hide and erase them if they're not want they want her to feel, while the white boy gets congratulated with a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum and always, ALWAYS, takes the moral high ground(even in superhero form when he's supposedly goofy.). When she's the lead.
"Luka's a second choice, not for Marinette, but for the Miraculous Ladybug world. for the WRITERS!!!“
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
It’s just tiring. It’s not even me being sick of the love square, but it being forced into everything when it’s not even relevant. The episode strategically throws more and more of Marinette’s Adrien crush (I did the math, I know this) into the mix and it provides nothing but the same tired jokes. Heck, they keep leaning on the lucky charm Marinette let him borrow (not GAVE, let him BORROW) back in Season 1 because they basically have nothing else to go off of.

Take Two: The Guardian in Gotham Chapter 4
First   Previous   Next   Ao3
Note:  When italics are in quotations (“”) then Marinette is speaking French. If the italics don't have quotations, that’s people’s thoughts.
---
After patrol, Dick made his way to bed, mulling over the announcement Bruce had made at dinner. When he had seen that picture, he had wanted to join Jason on his Paris killing spree. That girl-Marinette, was it?- seemed to be in need of a better place to stay, and he was happy they could provide it to her. At the same time, he had no idea how to treat a young teenage girl! What does she like? Sports? Dresses? Both? None? He had no idea! As he lay there having a breakdown in a slight panic, he couldn’t force the image of her broken, bloody body out of his head. He wondered what kind of person that sort of assault would turn her into. He had seen greater people snap after such emotional and physical wounds. 
Meanwhile, Jason, Tim and Damian were facing similar dilemmas over the girl in question. 
Jason had no idea how to handle teenagers, especially ones that had been assaulted. Suffering through fucked-up shit like that would definitely leave you with some trauma. He thought to himself. Maybe we should ask her about her boundaries. His coping method involved wearing a red helmet and gallivanting around the rooftops of Gotham, looking for excuses to shoot people. He didn’t exactly think that was the best way to help her out. Sure, he grumbled, I’ll just walk over to her, hand her some Kevlar and a grapple before pushing her off the top of fucking Wayne Enterprises in hopes that she’ll get it right. ‘Cause that’s totally fucking healthy!
Tim on the other hand, was completely and utterly paranoid. Sure, he was definitely worried about that girl, considering that it looked like she had lost a lot of blood; but at the same time, he was worried about exposing their identities to her. Just one slip up, and she would know exactly what the Wayne family did at night. Not to mention that if they ended up getting injured, they’d have to figure out how to hide it from her. As he hacked into her school records, he noticed that she had filed several bullying complaints that had never been acknowledged, as well as a request to transfer classrooms that had been dismissed. Just how corrupt is this school?! He thought to himself as he saw how the principal-Monsieur Damocles- had bent to one girl’s every whim, just because her father was the Mayor! Abuse of power, and ignoring bullying reports? He thought to himself. This is not going to end well for them. With that, he completely launched himself into digging up every bit of dirt he could find on that school and it’s staff; completely forgetting about his original panic over being discovered.
And as for Damian, he was completely furious that there would be another person living in the Manor with them! Not to mention she had to go to Gotham Academy as well! He hadn’t even met this Marinette, and she was already proving to be a pain. 
---
As the day of their Marinette’s arrival dawned bright and clear, four members of the family waited for the arrival of their last member and guest. Bruce was slightly nervous. He had never had a girl so young stay in the Manor before, and he didn’t know how to greet her. Did he shake her hand? Smile and wave? Shake her hand then smile? Wave then shake? 
Dick, however, was full of excitement that their new guest was arriving in a couple of hours. He wondered if she knew any gymnastics, and if she would be willing to do some flexibility-related stretches and workouts with him.
All his other children were scattered throughout the city, doing various different things. Jason was up in the Manor library, reading his latest novel. Tim was in his office at WE, finishing up some paperwork he had wanted to fill out before Marinette arrived. Damian, thankfully, was at school, and wouldn’t be returning until later in the evening.
His thoughts were cut short by Tim’s arrival. As he walked into the kitchen and came back with a large mug of coffee, Jason trudged downstairs, and they all sat around in the living room continuing to work and read as they waited for Marinette and Alfred.
Half an hour later, Bruce was alerted to the gates in front of the Manor opening. They all lined up outside the house and watched as the sleek, black limo pulled up in front of the house. 
They waited patiently as Alfred got out of the car and headed to the trunk before opening it and taking out a suitcase, and what looked like a foldable wheelchair. The four of them were confused. Why would she need a wheelchair? Surely her classmates hadn’t injured her that badly? Their thoughts were cut off by Alfred opening the back door on the opposite side of the car. He bent down and proceeded to open the wheelchair, before wheeling it around to face the family. When they caught their first glimpse of their guest, they were absolutely floored.
They had all seen many worse injuries during their nightly patrols, and several injured children years younger than her, but when they saw Marinette, they were shocked into silence at her battered appearance.
She was a decent height at around 5’ 4”, but compared to Bruce and Jason she was absolutely tiny. She had several dark purple-blue bruises that contrasted sharply with her pale skin as well as an angry gash covered in stitches on her forehead. She also sported a clunky cast and a thick brace on her leg and wrist. With her dark hair pulled into space buns, and blue eyes, as well as how small and bruised she looked, they all felt a rush of protectiveness flood through them when they saw her. 
Their silent shock was interrupted by Jason leaning over to Bruce and whispering angrily “You said her classmates did this to her?!” At his exclamation, the other three tensed in anger at the reminder that her old friends had been the ones to injure her so severely. They were snapped out of their thoughts by Marinette speaking.
“Bonjour, Monsieur Wayne! Thank you for letting me stay in your house with you! I promise I’ll do my best to not be a bother to you and your family.” Her voice was slightly rough from when she had been crying, but she spoke sweetly, and politely. At her statement, Jason jumped in “No problem Pixie Stick! The only nuisance here is the Demon Spawn, and he’s not home yet.” She blinked up at him, before her mouth twitched up into a half-smile. “Thank you, Monsieur. I’m sorry but I didn’t get your name…” she trailed off. 
“Sorry about that Sunshine, he’s Jason, I’m Dick, and the sleep deprived one is Tim.” Dick interjected. “And you don’t have to call us Monsieur, either. Just our names are fine.” 
“Oh okay. Thank you Mister Bruce, and thank you Dick! I’m Marinette, but I’m sure you knew that already. You can call me Mari if you’d like. I’m not very picky about nicknames!” She laughed. 
“Now if the young Masters are done with their introductions, I will gladly show Miss Marinette to her room.” Alfred cut in. “Thank you Monsieur Alfred, that would be wonderful.” The girl in question smiled up at him from her seat in the wheelchair before he wheeled her inside.
---
Marinette thanked Alfred as he wheeled her into her room. He mentioned that someone named “Damian” was at school, and that she would be attending school after she gets adjusted to the time difference. After he left, she opened her bag to let the Kwami out, and waited for their excited chattering to calm down. Once they had quieted, she spoke. “Hey Tikki? Do you think it was wrong to tell Alfred about the Miraculi being active in Paris?” she questioned as she fiddled with the straps on her bag. ”I was just so excited to meet another wielder that everything slipped out!” 
The Kwami was quick to reassure her. “Oh no Marinette, it's okay. SInce you are the Guardian now, you need all the help you can get. And besides, you already recognized each other’s auras, so there was no point in trying to hide it!” She flew up to her face and patted her unbruised cheek gently. 
“Oh no! I completely forgot to tell Alfred that I’m the Guardian!” She shrieked. “What if he gets mad at me for being too inexperienced?! He’ll kick me out and I’ll have to live on the streets! Then I’ll end up becoming part of the Crime Alley hierarchy, living alone in an abandoned building with a stray cat named Tommy! Tikki this is a disaster! A disaster!!” She would have continued to ramble in french, if it wasn't for the fact that Wayzz had flown up to her and reminded her that she needed to shower because she had been on an airplane and in the airport.
Several curses, near falls, and plastic cast coverings later, Marinette limped out of the shower, exhausted but clean. She quickly tied her hair onto a messy bun before changing into warm leggings (although she couldn’t fully pull one side down due to her cast) and a sweater. Gotham was cold! She let the Kwami roam around her giant room as she put her clothes into her closet. 
After settling in, she plugged in her phone and texted her friends. 
FashionableBug: Just got everything organized and took a shower. Turns out M. Wayne has four kids! I met Dick, Jason and Tim, and apparently Damian is at school. 
QueenofMean: Maribug! How dare u not text us as soon as you arrived! Ur plane landed over three hours ago! 
Snakey Boi: Chlo’s right, Mari. We were all worried bout u.
FahsionableBug: Sorry u guys. Everything was going so fast I completely 4got!
FashionableBug: Also I met a Peacock wielder!!!!!!!
You’reUnderAgreste: Really?! Buginette thats amazingggg
DragonGurl: Wonderful news indeed, Mari. They must have lots of advice for you.
QueenofMean: !!!!!! 
QueenofMean: Nettie thats awesome!!!!!!
SnakeyBoi: Thats totally great!
SnakeyBoi: Also who is it???
FashionableBug: lol Luka its Alfred their butler. Tho hes more like a grandfather
FashionableBug: Anyways, I’m going to go find the kitchen. I wanna make the Kwami some macarons!
FashionableBug: Bye!!!
DragonGurl: Bye Marinette.
You’reUnderAgreste: Bye Bugaboo!
QueenofMean: Bye Bug!
SnakeyBoi: Bye Mari!
Marinette smiled as she put her phone down. Glancing over at the Kwami flying around the room, she stretched before calling out “I’m going to see if I can bake in the kitchen. Do any of you want to join me?” Before she had even finished her sentence Tikki and Kaalki were flying over to her and nestling in her bun. Laughing at their antics, she maneuvered herself into the chair before wheeling herself down the hall. She hadn’t gone very far when she bumped into Alfred walking out of another door. "Salut, Monsieur Alfred! Would you mind showing me where the kitchen is? I was thinking of making some sweet treats for my...friends.” At her statement, Tikki and Kaalki poked their heads out of her bun to wave, before hiding again. Smiling, Alfred turned to her and spoke. “Of course Guardian. Right this way.”  Her eyes darted to meet his hesitantly. “You aren’t mad that I’m the Guardian?” Alfred paused and looked her directly in the eyes. “Miss Marinette, I am in no way questioning your capabilities as a Guardian. You are very powerful, and I have no doubt you will do an amazing job. I am simply upset over how you seem to have no Mentor or any form of Guidance to help you.” Sighing in relief, she smiled. “Well, my old Master lost his memories because he had to give up his memories after being compromised. I do have the Grimoire though, and I was also hoping you would help me as well?” She questioned, looking up at him hesitantly. As they walked into the kitchen, he bowed to her and stated “It would be my greatest honor to assist you, Great Guardian.” She laughed and thanked him before beginning to bake. 
She hummed a simple melody designed to bring about calm and peace, and soon she was happily working in her own tranquil little bubble. 
An hour later, as she was frosting the little pastries, Jason walked in, drawn by the smell of sugar and freshly baked goods. “Hey Alfred! What cooki-” he cut himself off. “Sorry Pixie Stick, I thought you were Alfred. Only he can make something worth eating in this house!” 
“Oh it’s no problem Jason, I was just making macarons. My parents own a bakery, so I’m kinda used to just baking whenever.” She laughed softly
“Damn Pixie, macarons?! You haven’t been here a day, and you’re already much nicer than all my asshole brothers!” 
“Yeah, well these are for after dinner, so no touching ‘till then!” She warned.
He sat at the counter and scrolled through his phone as she decorated the pastries. Soon enough, she had them all completed and proceeded to carefully take the tray and wheel over to the fridge. Before she could move an inch, Jason had leapt up and placed the tray in its designated spot. “Sorry Pix, but I’ll get that for ya. We don’t need you accidentally crashing or dropping these heavenly treats!” He laughed.
She crossed her arms and pouted up at him, before her mouth stretched into a wide grin. As she wheeled herself into the dining room, she swiftly turned her head and stuck her tongue out before disappearing through the door into the room beyond.
---
Dinner with the Wayne family was a rambunctious affair. Dick and Jason bantered good-naturedly over their meals as Bruce sighed tiredly in the background. Tim moved lethargically, downing giant gulps of coffee as he ate his meal. Damian apparently was studying with his friend Jon, and therefore wouldn't be eating with them. They all smiled and laughed as they talked through dinner. Marinette told them about her friends, before adding that they’d probably video call her tomorrow so they could meet the family. Bruce assured her that it was not a problem and added that he would be glad to speak with her parents. After eating, she headed up to her room to work on the outfit she had been sketching on the plane. 
She immersed herself in designing, and ended up finally going to sleep shortly after midnight. The Kwami flew over to their little nest of pillows and blankets, and she turned off the lights before drifting off to sleep. Her dreams were plagued by nightmares of looming shadows and ethereal dark butterflies destroying the world in fire. She watched in helpless terror, stuck in her Ladybug persona, unable help as the world burned. The horrific dreamscape was shattered by the sound of her phone blaring out an Akuma alarm. 
She leaped out of bed and shut off the shrill noise as she called for Tikki and Kaalki before leaping through the portal and into Paris.
She ended up in a ravaged, unrecognizable landscape covered in flames. Looks like her dream had been semi-accurate after all. The Eiffel Tower was partially melted, and fires were cropping up all over the city. The four simultaneous thuds behind her signified the arrival of her team. As one they looked upon their ravaged city and charged the Akuma.

After much googling and calling various places and agencies, Henry managed to contact a lawyer that was willing to help you get all the documentation and identification that you would need to function and travel in the 21st century. It only required a move to a hotel in Stockholm; Marianne had also gone with you both, wanting to help, in any way she could. He also made a public announcement on his Instagram, once he got his phone back, assuring the world he was safe and sound, and there wasn't nothing to worry about. You watched with fascination as he did the announcement, you were still rather confused on how a cellphone worked and how everyone seemed to be attached to them.
Did people not go out and meet with each other anymore?
You thought, as Henry had explained to you that hundreds, thousands and even millions of people all across the world could see him posting the video, in a matter of seconds. It all sounded like some sort of magic or trick that Loki would do.
“You wanna see something cool?” Henry asked, after he finished and smiled brightly at you.
“Sure.” You answered, slowly.
Henry smiled more, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and pulled you into his side, making his device light up and pressed on the front of it, making the screen change to something else as he held it at arm's length. You gasped, blinking several times, when you saw your and Henry's faces appear on it, you looked at Henry, noticing the second you on the screen did the same, making Henry chuckle.
“It's a camera.” He explained to you, watching you look between his phone and him.
“Like, on the tv?” You asked, meeting his eye.
“Sorta, yeah. Same idea and deal, but people can't see us, unless I use my Instagram.” He told you.
“Insta-what?” You frowned, shaking your head at him.
“It was the thing I was just using to reassure everyone that I was okay.” He told you, turning his camera off real quick and opened the app on his home screen. “This is Instagram. People posts pictures of themselves, animals and anything else they find interesting, as well as videos.” He showed you different pictures he took, mostly of Kal and other things, he showed you a video he shot back in 2015, where he was shaving the beard he had for playing Captain Syverson. “It's how people socialize nowadays.”
“Do people not go out and meet each other anymore?” You frowned, finally voicing that thought.
“They still do. But, it's easier to socialize with phones, technology and things, like Instagram, when people are too far away to meet up.” He told you, turning his camera back on, then pulled you into a kiss, snapping a photo of it as your lips met. “Look at that,” he grinned, pulling away and showing you the photo. “You're first 21st Century picture.”
You looked at it, tilting your head. “Is that what I look like?” You asked, you'd never had your photo taken before, not even painted back home in the 12th Century. Of course, you've seen your reflection in streams and the mirror in the bathroom, but, seeing the photo on Henry's phone, seemed different.
“It is.” Henry replied, softly, setting his phone down and cupped your face in his hands, so you looked at him. “You're beautiful, inside and out.” He told you, kissing you again, deep and sweet. “We need to talk about a few things, before the lawyer gets here tomorrow.” He said, changing the subject to a serious note.
“Okay.” You nodded, feeling your nerves and stress spark up again.
“You're going to asked a lot of questions, one of them is going to be about your last name.” He told you, leaning forward and picking up a piece of paper he had written some of the info on, while he was on the phone with the lawyer.
“I thought,” You frowned, caught off guard. “I thought, I had your name?” You said, shaking your head at him.
“You do, and you will more appropriately to this time period, once we get everything else settled.” Henry assured you, patting your thigh. “But, he's going to ask you about your maiden name. The name you had before we married, technically.”
“I didn't have one.” You frowned at him, brows drawing together.
“Then, how did you guys refer to each other as?” Henry asked, realizing he never really paid attention to that, while he was there.
You shrugged your shoulders, shyly. “If someone shared a name with another in the village, they had a nickname. Like, Thorstein, the smith, his cousin had the same name, so people would call him Thor, both for short and, he was a blacksmith, so he swung a hammer around, like the God.” You explained to him, chewing on your lip. “Or they would simply be referred to, like my brother little brother Olle would have been, as Gunnarson. Because, he would have been my father's son.”
“What about that?” Henry asked, lifting a brow at you.
“What, Gunnarson?” You answered, blinking at him.
“Yeah.” He nodded, liking the sound of it.
“But, I'm not his son, I'm his daughter.” You laughed, shaking your head at him, amused.
“It doesn't really matter, if you are or not. You're still his child, either way, and it'll be a nice way to honor him.” He pointed out, hand rubbing your thigh as he watched that distant light in your eye form, he'd seen it in your eyes a dozen times a day; your mind going back to how you left things in the past, worrying about the safety of your father and village. “I'm sure, they're all right, y/n. Your father is a fine and capable Jarl, and warrior.” He whispered to you, leaning in to kiss your cheek, tenderly. “He knew, it might come to you leaving with me. I'm sure, he thinks your somewhere in the wild.”
“He knows, what wild, I'm in.” You whispered, very softly.
“What?” Henry squeaked, looking like a deer in headlights.
“I told him.” You sighed, rubbing your face and resting back against the couch cushions. “About you.” You added, even quieter.
“You what?” He snapped, absolutely stunned at your confession. “You told him, about the stones?”
“Yes.” You gulped, hearing the growing anger in his voice.
“When?” Henry snapped, sitting up straight. “Why!” He barked, losing a handle on his temper.
“After the incident with Wulfric and Ove, when they accused you of running, while I was away.” You sighed, calm and reserved. “He asked me, why I was going through so much trouble to protect you, why I was treating you the way I was, and not like the rest-”
“Of the slaves, you mean.” He hissed at you.
The word hit you in the chest, like he had punched you with his fist.
Everyone had seen you treat Henry differently from the rest of the Thralls, you need no attempt on hiding it, you didn't care enough to hide your overwhelming need to protect Henry from them, from the abusive and brutal life of a Norse; as a slave. You had heard your uncle, Bjorn, was planning on sacrificing Henry to the Gods, to ensure their crops were good that year, you hadn't cared that he was; at first. Lukas had told you and your father that they had captured a stray Anglo-Saxon roaming the hillside not far from Östholm, fearing him to be a scout. But, at the feast for the raiding bounty, when they lined up all the good and able bodied slaves, before you and your father, you spotted Henry as the one they were talking about, like a crow among ducks. He looked so strange, in his running clothes, trying so desperately to make himself look weak and insignificant. But, you could tell he was neither, and felt yourself drawn to him with a force you couldn't, and really still can't, understand or place. It called to you, begged you to take this poor man and protect him, to care for him and love him, or it would be an affront to the Gods themselves. So, when your father turned to you, asking if you wanted to chose one, since you had done so well on the raid, you chose Henry automatically, in your mind that is, you didn't want to pick him outright, that would have been suspicious, so you scanned the rest of them, acting like the choice was a burden and hard, before relenting and picking him. Gunnar had looked at you, like you had lost your ever-loving mind, not just because you chose an Anglo-Saxon for a thrall, but you had chosen the one your uncle, fully intended to kill. It could have ended badly, Bjorn feeling you were trying to take his offering to the Gods and insult him, getting all the favor of Odin for yourself and Skali. But, your reply to your father's question, was more than simple and obvious; you weren't stupid or blind.
'If Bjorn wanted to keep him for himself, as a sacrifice to the Gods, he shouldn't have put him up for the taking.'
Gunnar relented, and told Bjorn your choice in Henry, reciting the same line of reasoning as you had told him, when your uncle wanted to protest the matter. So, there it was. That's why you had chosen Henry. That's why, you had treated him like he wasn't really a thrall, while keeping up the barest minimum of illusions that he was; you had stopped considering Henry a thrall or your thrall, and truly began to fall in love with him, the night you held his shaking body in your arms and listened to him cry, about wanting to go home. Hearing Henry refer to himself a thrall, a slave, and having to call him one back home, had always made you sick to your stomach and lightheaded; he made you weak and he made you strong, all at the same time.
“Yes.” You gulped, blinking at the tears that so desperately wanted to form in your eyes. “I told him, why I chose you that night. That—” You gulped harder. “That, I had fallen in love with you, I had been in love with you, the moment I saw you, coming into Östholm.”
“You loved me the whole time,” Henry huffed, surprised. “and you more or less left me to my own device for first few months you owned me, in Skali.”
“I never wanted to own you, Henry.” Your voice broke a little bit. “and I didn't want to completely listen to myself either. But, like Svipdagr, I couldn't hid from my fate any longer.”
“That's when you brought me in, the first person to really treat me like a human.” Henry whispered. “Then, you told your father about me.” He said, still angry.
“Yes, I told him all that, and what you had told me, about coming from here to there.” You nodded, picking at the black and gray fabric of your leggings. “He thought, I was crazy, but he came around. That's when he started to like you. He finally understood you, he finally understood why I was drawn to you.”
“What if he hadn't believed you?” Henry snapped, startling at you, you didn't think he'd be so upset about it. “He could have killed both of us.”
“No, he wouldn't have.” You squeaked back, shaking your head, hurt.
“He could have told the whole village, Wulfric would have been backed up, then he really would have killed me.”
“I wouldn't have let that happen.” You frowned, sitting up. “Henry, please, I wouldn't have let him hurt you, I never let him hurt you.” You tried to soothe him.  “Please, just calm down--”
“I'm not your thrall anymore, Ghost!” Henry suddenly roared, scaring you, you had never seen this side of him before. “You can't order me around.”
Your mouth dropped open and blinked several times, silent tears dripping down your cheek and off your jaw, you took a shuttered breath, with a look of absolute pain on your face. “I'm sorry.” You whimpered, getting up.
“Fuck.” Henry gasped, recalling himself as you reached the room door. “Y/n, please. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm just stressed out, that's all.” He babbled, as you pulled the door open. “Please, don't go.” He begged you, panting as you stepped out into the hall.
“I'm not your thrall, Henry. You can't order me around.” You replied, using his own words against him.
“But, you are my wife.” Henry countered, still desperate to get you back into the room, the fear of losing you was squeezing at his heart.
“In my time, I'm your wife. But, you said it yourself, so did he,” You answered, referencing the lawyer. “It's not binding, here and now.” You told him and let the door shut.
“Y/n!” He yelled, bolting out of the room and down the hall, making it to the lift just as the doors closed, sealing you away from him. “Fuck!” He cried, slapping his palms to and resting his forehead on the closed doors.
“Henry?” Marianne's voice called, her room was just across the hall from the lift. “What's going on?”
“Y/n and I, had a fight and I was an idiot.” He replied, not looking back at his mother. “I used something against her, that wasn't at all her fault to start with. She was the one that saved me from it, and I still hurt her with it. I'm just so tired and stressed out, trying to make sure she's all right and taken care of, I think, I've missed what she wants.”
Marianne rested her hand on Henry's broad back, rubbing up and down his spine. “I'm sure, she's just as stressed out and tired, as you are, Henry. This is all new and scary to her.”
“She's scared.” Henry whimpered.
He had been trying, so hard, to slowly introduce you into his world, pointing out things and explaining them, answering your curious and shy questions, that he hadn't thought about you being afraid of what was going on around you. He had noticed, how you clung onto his hand and arm, while out and about, going to stores, or the restaurant he took you to the night before, showing you different ways food was served nowadays. If he was honest with himself, he reveled in it, having you lean on him, having you hold onto him, seeking and needing him to protect you, finally. He couldn't properly protect you back in your own time, he wasn't a warrior, he couldn't defend himself with a sword or in a proper fight against anyone in your time, that much had been made clear to him, as he was beaten and enslaved. But, here, in his time, that role had reversed. Now, you were the one that couldn't, you couldn't just pick up a sword and end the matter that way. So, you depended on him, and he failed. He hadn't protected or took care of your most basic need, emotionally and mentally, he'd only focused on the physical.
Tumblr media
You left the hotel, you didn't know where you were going, you didn't care either way; you just needed fresh air and space to think. You picked a direction and went that way, following the flow of the early afternoon rush, getting lost in the crowd and noise, letting it absorb you. Suddenly, you paused, looking up at a huge building and frowned. Turning on your heels, you wandered into the building and felt like you had been sucked back in time, back to your own time. You wandered around, pausing at various displays and roped off objects, you stopped dead, as you walked to the end of a hall and saw a huge ship taking up a vast majority of the next room; not just any ship though, a viking ship.
“Remarkable, isn't it?” Someone behind you asked, spooking you. “Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.” She smirked. “I work here, one of the historians.”
“You know the history of the Norse?” You asked, turning your body towards her.
“I know a great deal about it.” the Historian nodded.
You blinked, chewing the inside of your cheek for a moment, debating your thoughts. “Do you know a place, it's probably no longer around, called Skali?” You asked her, feeling your hands start to shake.
The Historian frowned for a moment, then turned on her high heels. “Follow me.” She said, waving you to go with her.
Not wasting a second, you followed after her as she guided you through the museum, the click of her heels on the polished floors echoing through the halls. It took a couple of minutes to make it to the other side of the building, where she disappeared into a little office for a moment, re-emerging with a book and flipped through it. You stood in front of her, impatient and antsy for any news on what happened to your village.
“It seems, at some point around the year 1056, Skali became part of Dalsland, in Götaland.” She told you, her long, manicured nail following the sentence on the page. “After the Jarl of the village passed away at the, amazing, age of eighty-one.”
“Does it tell you the name of the Jarl?” You asked, hands shaking even hard and your heart started to drum against your ribcage.
“Yes, here in the footnotes.” She nodded, moving to the back of the book. “Gunnar 'Ironside' Eriksson.” she said, looking up at you as you whimpered, letting out a breath you hadn't realized you had been holding since passing through the stones with Henry a month before. “Are you all right?” She asked you, concerned as she watched you almost crumble to the ground, and cry.
“He lived.” You sobbed, gulping thickly, then pulled yourself together, wiping at your eyes. “Sorry, I've been—studying, about the village and their Jarl. I saw somewhere, that he was killed.” You lied, trying to ease the woman's concern for you.
“No, I assure you, he lived to an advanced age.” She assured you, still worried about you.
“That's incredible, thank you.” You smiled, hugging her on impulse, before turning and walking away from her, making your way out of the museum, sniffling.
“Y/n!” Henry's voice called, as you trotted down the stairs of the museum.
“How did you find me?” You frowned as you met each other.
“Well, I figured, as upset as you were, that you'd want to be somewhere more—familiar—to think. So, I googled the closet place with Norse history, and this was at the top of the list.” He told you, looking you over, he could see your eyes were still red and wet. “I'm sorry,” he whimpered, brushing his fingers through your hair and cupping your damp face in his hands. “I never meant to be such an ass. I know, it's hard and scary for you to be here, with me—because of me. I just--”
“He died.” You blurted out, blinking up at him, catching him off guard.
“Who?” Henry frowned, shaking his head, then it accrued to him. “Your father.” He said softly, his already soft and concerned face, became even more so. “I'm so sorry, y/n.”
“He died,” You repeated, smiling at him. “When he was eighty-one.”
Henry looked shocked and dumbfounded. “He lived, for almost another forty years, after we left?” He asked, stunned by the news, but also as relieved about it as you were, it meant that he wasn't killed for your actions of killing Wulfric.
“Yes.” You laughed, feeling a tremendous weight fall off your shoulders. “Skali doesn't, technically, exist anymore. When my father died, it became part of Dalsland, in what's now Götaland. It all survived, Henry.”
“That's a relief.” Henry sighed, feeling like he could breathe again too, as he folded you into his arms. “I'm glad, and relieved, to know everything was all right, after we left.” He whispered into your ear, nosing your hair, gently. “That, you know the truth now.” He added, kissing your jaw.
“So, am I.” You whispered back, melting into his body. “And, I think, you're right; about honoring him.” You added, tilting your head back to look up at him.
Henry smiled at you, resting his forehead against yours for a moment, until he felt the fat droplets of rain hit the back of his neck, and looked up at the graying sky. “Looks like it about to pour.” He said, wiping away a few of the droplets that hit his face.
“We should go, then.” You said, feeling them too, and shivered.
“That's a good idea.” He agreed, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and hugged you against his side, sheltering you with his body from the rain and helped keep you warm, on the long walk back to the hotel suite.
Tumblr media
The next day, you and Henry went down to the lawyer's office, answering all the questions he, and the Swedish government, had for you, and filled out a mass of paperwork. With that all done, all you and Henry had to do was wait the five business days for your new passport and up to six weeks for the copy of your birth certificate after the proper people, went through the channels and processes to issue you one, along with your citizenship. After that, you could get an identification card and you'd be completely legal in the 21st century, free to move about the world as you pleased. You and Henry could also, officially and legally, be married as well.
“That wasn't so hard, was it?” Henry said, as you both left the office.
You snorted and rolled your eyes at him. “If you say so.” you teased him.
“I can't wait, to take you home with me.” Henry said, walking down to the rental car he'd gotten, hand and hand with you.
“I'm just nervous about the whole—plane—situation.” You said, as Henry opened your door for you.
“You'll be all right.” He assured you, getting in the car beside you. “It's not as scary as it seems. Besides, if you get scared, you have me and the Bear to comfort and calm you.” He promised, reaching over and squeezing your knee.
Tumblr media
You weren't sure about it, but Henry had insisted on it. So, you gripped the cell phone in your hand, feeling incredibly strange by doing so. Henry had showed you how to use it several times, and found that you had a much easier time texting, then you did making a physical call with it, chalking that up to the similarity of texting to what you were more use to, letter writing. You sat on the couch, in the hotel suite, slowly turning the phone around and around in your hand, lost in thought.
“I'll be back.” Henry said, kissing the top of your head. “I'm going to take my mum to the airport, shouldn't take too long.” He promised, smiling at you. “If you need anything, just text me.” He called over his shoulder, going out the door.
You licked your lips as the door closed behind him, sighing, you glanced around the room and spotted the headphones Henry had also got for you, in case you wanted to listen to something on your phone, once you got the hang of navigating the thing. Getting up, you retrieved the headphones, and after a minute or two of trying to remember what hole Henry said the one end went into, you pushed the buds into your ears and sat back down beside Kal, on the couch. You stared at the lit up screen for a long time, having to wake it up a time or two, before tapping the G button on the home screen, like you had seen Henry do on his phone, countless times. A screen popped up and so did your keyboard, you glanced at Kal, who lifted his head at you.
“What do you think I should Google, Kal?” You asked the Akita. “How about music?” You inquired, turning back to the screen and slowly typed in Norse Music, seeing what this century's take on your time's music was, then tapped the first thing that showed up on the list, Helvegen by Wardruna.
The song started slow and quiet, then picked up, the lyrics filled your ears and flowed into your blood, making goosebumps ripple over your flesh. You had gotten lost in it, and the other songs that played after it, in the same theme. Henry came back to the room, finding you stretched out, head propped up on Kal's back, foot swaying to the beat of the song as it laid draped over the arm of the couch. He smiled, watching you. He was proud of you, you had figured out how to find and listen to music on your phone, without having to ask; and clearly found music you enjoyed listening too, on top of it. He braced his hands on the armrest above your head and leaned over you, eyes closed and a happy smile on your face. Henry was relieved you were adjusting so well, especially after finding out your father survived and lived to a respectable old age. Your eyes opened, finally sensing Henry's presence and pulled out your headphones.
“Hey.” He smiled down at you, softly.
“Hi.” You smiled up at him.
“I see, you've taught yourself a few things, while I was away.” He said, brushing your cheek with the back of his hand.
“I did.” You nodded, proud of yourself. “I discovered, Youtube.” You told him, sitting up and turned to face him.
“It's a very handy place for music.” Henry nodded, amused.
Tumblr media
You laid on your stomach, on the bed, still drying from your shower with Henry, and laughed, when he playfully slapped you on the butt. “Naughty boy.” You smirked at him, over your shoulder.
“Mmhm, naughty indeed.” He smirked back, licking his lips as his eyes trailed up your naked body.
Henry bent kissing the back of your calf, nipping lightly at your warm skin, gliding his lips over the back of your knee to your thigh, where he bit even harder, making you yelp and giggled, shaking your head at him. He moved on, biting into each of your cheeks, then buried his face between your legs, licking at the underside of your pussy with his broad and greedy tongue, making your toes curl.
“Oh gods, Henry.” You whimpered, hands twisting in the sheets, pushed your hips back and arched your belly down, moaning lewdly at the increased pressure of his tongue and mouth. “I love feeling your mouth on me.” You sighed softly, breathing in light and steady pants.
He smirked against your folds, curving his tongue, so the tip could tease the nub of your clit. Henry gripped your hips, holding you in place against his mouth and doubling his efforts, drawing you to the very edge of no return for your orgasm, then pulled back, licking your juices from his lips, laughing as you protested. “As much as I love you coming against my mouth, I love all the more,” He moved over you, supporting his body on his knees and elbows, bringing his mouth against the rim of your earlobe. “when you come around my cock.”
You shivered beneath him, pushing your head back to rest on his shoulder and turned your face into his, kissing his cheek and jaw. “But, your cock isn't in me, is it?” You purred into his ear, tugging on it with your teeth.
“Easily, remedied.” Henry panted.
Reaching between your bodies and lining up the head of his shaft, Henry slowly eased into your core, feeling your walls quiver around him, still so close to coming, so he took his time. You whimpered and moaned as his thickness stretched you open. Henry moved his arm to better hold himself, so he didn't hurt you under his weight, kissing your neck and jawline, tugging on your earlobe with his teeth and grinding himself into you. He used his knee to push your legs open even farther, he smoothed a hand down your side to your hip, squeezing it for a moment, before slipping his hand beneath you, reaching down between you and the bed to start rubbing your clit with two fingers, then bucked in against you, making you gasp. He hit your spot and cervix with each experienced and practiced movement, while also stimulating your clit. You could feel yourself starting to unravel, you weren't going to last long and Henry knew it, so he slowed down, easing off your nub.
“You're torturing me.” You whimpered, nudging back against him.
“All the better, to hear you moan and beg me to come.” Henry smirked, chuckling and drove his cock harder into you, then stilled.
“You monster.” You laughed, trying to rub back against him, to make him move inside of you, but Henry let a little bit more of his weight to rest on you, pinning you even more to the bed.
“How wet you are.” He cooed into your hair and felt you dripping onto his fingers, a slow damp patch forming beneath you. “If you get any wetter, we're going to have to have the sheets changed.” He teased you, grinding his hips in a way that made his still fingers, rub at your clit.
“Then, let me come.” You moaned, biting the corner of your lip. “Ah, Henry!” You roared, frustrated as he only laughed, biting your neck, muffling his laugh of amusement. “Oh, I hate you so.” You growled, pleasantly trapped beneath his chiseled body.
“You hate me?” Henry pouted, nuzzle the back of your ear. “That's not very nice of you, wife, and when I'm only trying to please you.” He said, burying his nose in your still damp and fragrant hair.
“You are teasing me, husband.” You retorted, squeezing your walls around his cock and rubbing back against him, the best you could.
Henry pulled his hips back, half withdrawing his member from inside your core. “You want me to tease you, wife?” He rumbled into your ear, his voice heavy with lust and playfulness. “I can do just that, my love.” He pulled himself free of your core, but stayed where he was, on all fours above you and removed his arm from beneath your body to between your legs from the back, slipping his broad thumb into his cock's place and curving his fingers back to your nub.
Your mouth felt open in a silent moan, Henry pressing his thumb down against your spot, rubbing it in time with your clit, your body rocking against his hand, of its own accord. Henry smirked, listening to you moan and whimper as he teased you, pushing his thumb deeper into you, feeling how slick you made his fingers and palm. He removed his thumb and pressed his first two fingers in, fucking them hard into you, the wet sounds of your dripping pussy filling the room.
“Look at that.” He smirked, pulling his fingers out and spreading them apart, seeing the thickness of your cum stretch between them. “So, so wet.” He moaned, showing his wet fingers to you. “That wet spot on the bed is such a nice size now.” He teased you, biting into your shoulder, causing you to cry out as he left a well-defined bite mark behind.
“Please, Henry.” You begged him, licking your lips and rubbing your ass up against his hard cock, feeling it drip between your cheeks, making you even wetter, and swallowed. “Henry, please. For the love of Gods, put your cock in me and let me come around it already.” You cried, reaching back and tangling your fingers into his curls.
“I suppose, since you've begged so nicely.” Henry chuckled, wrapping his sticky hand around his cock and filled you with it again, his hand always finding its way back underneath you, to your clit.
He wasted no time in making you come, hard, your walls squeezing around his shaft made him groan and bucking into your harder, the bed shaking and protesting beneath you both. “Christ, I love you.” He panted, pulling you both back, so he knelt on the bed and you were pulled up on your hands and knees, the slap of skin mixing with the wet sounds of his cock driving into you. You took in a shaky gasp of air and gripped the blankets for dear life, feeling another orgasm mounting in the pit of your stomach, making you weak and shaky. Henry pounded into you, ripping you though your second orgasm, withdrew and pushed you onto your back and yanked you down to him, still standing on his knees, he hosted up your hips, wrapping your shaking and heavy legs around his waist and re-entered you, picking up the pace he had left off, moaning and grunting loudly.
“Y/n.” Henry panted, out of breath, and filling you so much with his come, that it oozed out and dripped onto the bed. He licked his lips, letting your legs slip down his thick thighs, bending over you and kissed you deeply. “I love you.” He panted, rolling onto his side and holding you against him. “I love you, so very much.”
You smiled, brushing his damp curls off his sweaty forehead and kissed his cheek, tenderly. “I love you, just as much.” You whispered back, tangling your legs with his.

YESS GIRL! finally someone talked about the king of fake deeps cole sprouse! His like luka sabbat but 10x of that, and a misplaced self entitlement. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME STAND THAT MAN!
When he first started gaining popularity I thought he was cute but nothing to write home abput, but then I slowly started noticing behavior that irked me, I didn't know why at the time. I followed him on insta and it got worse. He pretty much had this haughty sort of persona, would never admit his wrong, and go on tangents speaking about social issues but sounding like his lecturing us ( his audience) like here you go peasents type of thing!
And then him and lili reinhart started dating... Lawd. She slowly started mimicking his condescending language, and they were always in some kind of controversy, and just.. it was not a good look lol.
But I gotta they were kinda a match made in heaven, both of them really lack the ability to be self aware, and are childishly stubborn when they get called out for their mistakes, never apologize for the mistakes and when they do, it comes across " sorry your sensitive!1!1!1!1 "
+ remember when his ex girlfriend from nyu called him out on his narcissistic behavior on tumblr? And then she got influx of hate and people basically not believing her, I believe she deleted her account or something? But if anything she said about him was true, I could definitely see him being the kind of person who puts down others for their precieved inferiority and lack of intellectualism.. his very much the poster boy for most of the rich college kids in liberal arts, so pretentious.
I was OVER it when he tweeted about reverse racism and how it’s a real thing lmao. Also, he’s the WORST in interviews - never lets anyone else talk, thinks he’s the funniest person to walk the planet, and always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. 
I’ll actually defend Lili here because she’s young and obviously looked to him for guidance as someone who’s had years in the industry. She’s so much more likable now that she’s no longer dating him so I think a lot of it was her trying to impress him by mimicking his opinions/mannerism. I also sympathize with her a lot since Cole seemed to have cheated on her multiple times throughout their relationship and the only time she had away from him was whenever they’re not filming the show (probably why they kept getting back together). That couldn’t have been easy and I can’t imagine it would be easy now, having to work with him/see him everyday onset, especially when the show runners seem hellbent on making their characters stay together/making them end game. The only thing I’ll continue to fault Lili on is her blatantly dismissing the abuse/toxic manner in which Cole treated his ex. I get that he most likely fed her all sort of bs so that she’d believe that his ex-girlfriend was the ‘crazy’ one and hence, she stood firm on the fact that his ex lied on him. I think Lili owes her an apology for that, especially when Cole was far from a model boyfriend when they were together.

Alright, I'mma say it: Both Marinette and Adrien had good intentions with their bf and gf, but their behavior towards them specifically was cruel and wrong.
Marinette - Some people are focusing only on Adriens behavior, even when both were in the wrong. Mari enjoyed being with Luka and did genuinely like him romantically, but she still loved Adrien. She didn't get with Luka simply because she loved him, she got with him because he gave her a chance. In Felix, Luka says "You know, I'd be really happy for you and Adrien if it works out, and if it doesn't, I'll be here for you." Marinette got with Luka because she liked him and because things with Adrien didn't work. She always had this idea of love and wanted to have that. She wanted to be with Adrien, but it fell apart, so she just accepted Luka's chance. She didn't want to be with Luka, but she was still happy with him. However, she still treated him wrong simply because she still didn't move on from Adrien. She still had a whole ton of pictures of Adrien in her room. During the phone call, she called Luka "Adrien" At least 3 or 4 times. She completely forgot about the date. Yes, there's a reason for that, but if Luka were Adrien, Marinette wouldn't have forgotten it. If she really, REALLY, loved Luka like she did with Adrien she wouldn't forget. Oh and don't forget her as Ladybug to Cat. She gets jealous whenever Cat is around another girl. Although from Luka's POV, she treated him so cruelly even without what she did as Ladybug. He still tried to be sweet and thoughtful, instead of addressing it.
Adrien - This kid had tons of fun with my artsy girl, Kagami. He snuck out with her to escape their trash home life's, he fenced with her, had ice cream with her, and went to the ice rink with her. He did genuinely like Kagami, but same thing again, he loved Ladybug more. He thought since Ladybug doesn't have feelings for him, he should move onto Kagami. Kagami was even the first girl who confessed to him as Adrien. So he just went for it. However there were some bumps because of that. Adrien always wanted love too, he always craved love. Although, Adrien still clearly loved Ladybug more. He still had Ladybug as his wallpaper. He still flirted with Ladybug. He was never honest or clear about his feelings for Kagami in front of Kagami herself. No, I won't count him being romantic and sweet to Marinette for him specifically, but I will and gladly count it for Kagami. Because from her pov, he held a bracelet that was from Marinette. He ditched her to check if Marinette was okay in Frozer. He complimented how great Marinette was when they first met. And worst of all, she doesn't even know about what he did as Cat Noir. Of course she'd be mad. Of course she wouldn't know how to control her anger. This is Kagami we're talking about. Not Luka. Kagami addresses things. Like what she did in Miracle Queen, she addressed that it hurt to see Adrien tell her in front of her face that he wasn't ready. Even after all of those romantic dates? You're still not ready? However, the reason for her anger doesn't excuse how she got violent in the end of Lie. I'm still holding her accountable for that (Sorry if I talked a lot for Adrien lol).
Both Kagami and Luka deserve better. While I think Kagami deserves more because she doesn't know half of the things Adrien did, still this ain't a competition. Both we're hurt, and reacted differently. You can't expect out of all girls, Kagami, to be like "Oh yea I'm totally fine with you ditching me for your just a friend" Or "I'm so happy that you held a bracelet from another girl without telling me". Luka on the other hand, he does have self respect for himself. However, he doesn't show or address it. Because he thinks it'll affect their relationship. He always thought that for, everything. When he asked his mom who his father is, his mom would probably get furious about it (Considering how we've seen her react when it comes to that type of situation). Probably why he doesn't say anything. Because he's scared Marinette will get mad. So he doesn't say anything even though it hurts deep down. He even reassures her that he won't be jealous even that his ex-girlfriend most definitely likes someone else. Kagami isn't scared to say anything that comes to her mind. Because she was taught to just be forward no matter the consequences. Even if her break up with Adrien really, really hurt her, she still spoke what she thought. That you can't trust someone who lied. Who never told you anything. Who treated you unfairly. Luka on the other hand, didn't want to hurt Marinette in any way. So he was being selfless and continued being friends. This isn't salt btw. It's just addressing how these two are completely different (Opposites attract? Lukagami anyone? Jk...or am I? 😉).
Anyway, Marinette and Adrien both thought "Hey, maybe I should start dating someone else to get over my crush? That'll work right?"
Wrong.
Worst decision they ever made if you ask me. Yes they are teenagers, but I can still hold them accountable. They both thought that the best way to move on was to date someone else that you kind of like. But if you're unsure about your feelings for them or still haven't gotten over your crush, then don't date them! That's not what a proper relationship looks like. You can't just get with someone to move on from someone else, that's toxic and is unfair to your partner. Its technically cheating if you make any romantic moves to your crush. It's technically treating your partner wrong if you're still doing things that made you love your crush.
To move on, you have to stop doing things that made you love that specific person. You need to focus on yourself and not others.
Overall, if I don't see Marinette and Adrien realizing they treated their partners unfairly in this season, and I just see them not over their crush that they still obsess over, then what's the point? It's just toxic. It's just going to go back to season 1 and 2 adrienette. And I don't want that. However I don't think that will happen, since there has been tons of speculations going on that there will be a reverse love square, and Mari and Adrien start to realize their feelings for each other. I believe that, but the writers need to do a good job on it. And I think they will. I mean, lots of good things are happening in season 4 so far. The writers need to show AND tell about what Mari and Adrien will do.

Lukanette Prompts (Set #1)
Because I have too many, plz take them.
“Tour of Romance”
(takes a bit of creative freedom)
- Marinette and Adrien had been dating for a few years, but broke up when Adrien discovered what he wanted to do in life, which didn’t mesh well with Marinette’s role as a traveling fashion designer.
- Luka (with Kitty Section) are on tour and wherever they go coincidentally keeps lining up with wherever Marinette goes. In the process, Luka and Marinette slowly renew a bond that they’d starved a long time ago.
- Jagged and the rest of Kitty Section start to catch wind of what’s going on and begin engineering the tours wherever they can to try and sync with where Marinette goes, with Penny even getting in contact with the people connected to Marinette.
- Neither Luka nor Marinette have any idea this is happening and are both oblivious and only lowkey suspicious as everyone behind this scheme keep asking them about how things are going while trying to be “subtle” about it (note: no one, especially not Jagged, are good at being subtle about it).
Bonus: Eventually, Marinette and Luka also start to try engineering things so that they can meet up more, leading to a moment where one of them tries to confess what’s going on (not wanting the other to think it’s “fate” when it’s not), only for the other to chuckle and go, “um, actually--” and confess to the same thing.
“Damsel in Finesse” AU
- Luka fights crime as the hero Viperion, thanks to the snake miraculous that was passed down through his family. At the same time, Marinette (trained by her mother in self-defense and having inherited immense physical strength from her father) fights crime in disguise as the hero Ladybug, using no miraculous at all and a mask+cloak she custom-made. Paris is a big place, so the two take a while to meet.
- Viperion and Ladybug end up meeting when they show up to stop the same crime. They knew of each other and are surprised when they actually end up working well as a team.
- Since they don’t know each other outside of the mask and aren’t sure if it’s a good idea to reveal that yet, they end up meeting in various places to talk. Sometimes, if they know they’re not talking about anything too personal, they choose public places just to mess with the people around them who are like UM?? HEROES??? JUST CASUALLY HANGING OUT??? (heroes gotta eat too, guys, smh)
- It doesn’t take long before the crushes begin. They act incredibly professional during interviews but they’re actually massive dorks who are extremely protective of each other. They fret over each other if there’s even a hint of the other getting/being hurt.
- One day, Luka catches sight of Marinette (having never met her before) seeming to be lured by someone into a dark alley. He follows, ready to intervene, only to then see Marinette easily throw the person over her shoulder, knocking them unconscious. Luka stares for a moment, blushing pink and very impressed, before just being like yep, that’s my partner alright.
Post-dating Edition (one-shot): Marinette acting as a damsel in distress to lure in bad people. Viperion then makes a dramatic entrance and proceeds to take them down with Marinette’s assistance. Luka and Marinette later joke with each other over it because they're the best worst actors ever. Luka teases Marinette about her over-dramatic "Oh no! I've fallen and I think I hurt my leg! I can't move!" technique, while Marinette teases back about how extra Luka’s entrance as Viperion was.
“Miraculous Lovebugs” AU
- An alternate universe in which the magical ladybugs from Ladybug’s “Miraculous Ladybug” treat people/things based on how Marinette feels about them, similar to how Chloe’s Adrien picture in “Dark Cupid” got ruined and didn’t get repaired.
- During “Captain Hardrock”, when the magical ladybugs are putting everyone back onto the Liberty, Luka gets special treatment and is carried there like a princess bridal-style due to Marinette’s budding crush on him.
- Luka is incredibly confused like, “uh--so did anyone else get carried away like that or--”
- Marinette, sweating profusely: UM--m-mAYBE YOU SLIPPED SO THEY CARRIED YOU THAT WAY???
- Everyone follows Marinette’s logic except Luka who has no idea what to think.
- Marinette screams at Tikki over why the magical ladybugs have to listen to her dumb feelings. Bonus if Luka keeps being treated like this by the magical ladybugs and it even starts escalating as Marinette’s crush on Luka intensifies.
- Ladybug has to carry Luka bridal-style once and he can’t help feeling like it’s familiar.
- Extra bonus if the magical ladybugs start doing things that aren’t even related to fixing what an akuma did. They’ll just casually fly into Luka's room and tune his guitar, straighten his jacket, or clean up for him. Luka has so many questions.
“All Kids Aside”
- Marinette and Adrien married and had three children, but ended up divorcing. Whether they’re on friendly terms or not is up to the prompt’s taker.
- Luka had just gotten off tour for a while and Juleka practically pounced at the idea of getting Luka to reconnect with Marinette now that Adrien’s out of the picture. Juleka had always seen Marinette as “dumb” for getting with Adrien instead of Luka and is now like she divorced Adrien so maybe she’ll finally see the light.
- Luka still very much has a thing for Marinette but isn’t expecting anything romantic out of spending time with her (lol shows what he knows). He’s just happy to see her again.
- Marinette’s kids like Luka a lot and Luka is really good with them, though Marinette forbids Luka from bringing his guitar to her house because she’s so worried about one of the kids accidentally breaking it. Luka may or may not sneak in late one night with his guitar after the kids have gone to bed so he can play for Marinette.
- Marinette’s youngest child, too young to know any better, calls Luka their father once. Marinette is horrified at first, then curious as she notices that Luka doesn’t seem put off by the idea.
“Freed Feelings”
- A new akuma shows up that forces people to not stop talking until all of their feelings come out. Ladybug realizes that she needs Viperion for the job, afraid that the akuma might hit her and make her out her identity as Marinette.
- The problem?
- Luka got hit by the akuma earlier and he cannot stop talking about how much he loves Marinette. He even tries to clamp his hands over his mouth to stop himself but he physically can’t stop rambling.
- Ladybug has never seen Luka so embarrassed before but she’s red too from hearing all the stuff he’s saying, so honestly, she can’t judge.
- Luka/Viperion either has to get creative with saying “Second Chance” (relating the phrase back to Marinette in some way) or just manages to shout it out in the midst of his Marinette ramblings.
- Both Luka and Marinette need a breather after Miraculous Ladybug washes over Paris. Marinette wants to go de-transform and check on Luka but also acknowledges that he probably needs a moment like she does.
Bonus: Luka Knows™ and he goes home post-battle so he can just collapse onto his bed, screaming internally because Marinette heard everything he said about her.

Corner Store [1]
Description: Arthur Kirkland has owned and run a corner store for the past 15 years. He is determined to go through the rest of his life with minimal change.

Yao Wang[China], Lukas Nillson[Norway] Ship/s Mentioned: RusAme[Alfred & Ivan] AU: !Corner Store AU! !Human AU!
I know I know, this is a far division from the usual content I post on this blog haha. For those not in the loop[literally everyone who follows me], this is for a project and fandom dedicated to Hetalia! While it has had its ups and downs it remains an important part in my life for introducing me to this website + helping me discover writing for fandom lol. My part of the project is two chapters of a story idea I’ve had in my mind for a while. Also, consider this my official return from my [short] hiatus! -Mod Ioten <3
The coffee wasn’t in the right place. Nothing bothered Arthur more than when his store was out of order. An itch crept up into his hand, something that always appeared when anything wasn’t in its place. Several cans of instant coffee were right next to the bags of chips, but they were supposed to be in between the tea and coffee creamer.  He used to personally stock the shelves, but lately there were some issues he had to deal with at home and he had to hire someone to help him out. No matter how much he didn’t want to. Francis still had a lot to learn, but he did bring in more business; customers seem entranced by his charm, something Arthur didn’t understand. “Francis!” Arthur called, picking up a can. The Frenchman strutted in from the other side of the store holding a broom.
“Oui?” He gave a sly smile, and Arthur couldn’t help but roll his eyes. 
“You put some of the coffee in the snack shelf while they’re supposed to go on the shelf above it.” Arthur began to move the cans, one by one to the correct shelf. Turning to his employee he asked, “Did you restock the milk yet? We ran out of whole and 2% yesterday.”
“You only had 2% in the back, no whole coming in until tomorrow,” Francis replied, sweeping the floor around them. Sighing, he stopped and looked up. “Mon ami, have you ever considered getting an air freshener around here? I’m tired of coming in and smelling dust, plastic, and prepackaged food.” Francis frowned, kicking a cobweb that nestled itself under the shelves. 
Arthur scoffed in reply, “It smells perfectly fine here. No one has complained so far, and no one ever will because the store smells fine.” Francis gave him a weak smile. 
“If you insist….”
Francis continued to sweep the floor, and Arthur finished fixing the shelves. Taking a step back, he smiled proudly at his work; despite how meaningless it may seem. Everything was in order, and the itchy feeling in his palm was gone. Checking down at his watch, there were twenty minutes until school ended for the nearby high school. Though Francis would be checking out soon to pick up one of his sons, and Arthur could always handle the influx of customers that came in at the time. Whether it be the high schoolers themselves, teachers, or random people who just happened to stop by, people would always come by the shop. Getting behind the counter, Arthur got himself comfortable for the afternoon rush. He took out one of the newspapers he sold. 
He tried to focus on the horrible news in the paper, yet Arthur’s cynical mind drifted to his customers. No one came in yet, no one ever came in at this time. The store stayed silent with the exception of the soft music coming from the radio that drowned out the pouring rain. But the same set of customers would soon come in once the final bell rang. The same three boys, always buying relatively the same items. One of them, Alfred, was Francis’ stepson. Despite not being blood-related, Arthur could see that Francis cared deeply about him. Alfred was a decent enough kid, a little too eccentric for Arthur’s liking, but he reminded him of his own son. Arthur was moderately familiar with Matthias, as Arthur used to tutor his younger brother, Lukas. Gilbert, Arthur only saw when he came in with Alfred and Matthias. 
Arthur moved his arm to check his watch again. Five minutes before the school bell rang. Humming quietly to himself, he took a look around the shop. For the past 15 years, this is where he’s been. Such simplicity, and yet it meant so much to him. It was absolutely, positively, completely perfect the way everything looked. 
He looked up from his paper to look at the window beside him. The clouds looked angry, and the rain got heavier and heavier to signify a storm approaching. People were walking down the sidewalk, and he could hear commotion making its way towards the store. The chime of a bell, signifying a customer entering, made Arthur unconsciously smile. Shuffling could be heard, and Arthur took a sip of his tea as wet footsteps approached the counter. “This will be all,” the low mumble was almost barely audible, but Arthur could recognize the person just by the items they bought. Never buying the same thing, Abel always bought the off-brand items due to how cheap they were. Tea biscuits, lightbulbs, and canned asparagus were his purchases for today. 
“If you looked next to the eggs we had some herbs for sale,” Arthur hummed. “Some celery was there as well.” The aura around Abel stiffened, and the large Dutchman tried his best to resist the temptation Arthur laid out. No matter how much he wanted to say otherwise, his soft spot for his rabbit outweighed his yearning for cash. 
Abel shakily sighed, “Is that so?” He had to keep his eyes from drifting away to the open-air fridge. Arthur felt a smile creep onto his face, keeping his head down as to not let his customer see. 
“Yeah, and Yao usually sells them for more than double our prices,” The words fell out of Arthur’s mouth smoothly, preying on the fact that the Dutchman couldn’t resist the best deal possible. The air between them was cold, Abel’s stiff stature slowly cracking away with every word that Arthur said. It was a battle that occurred between them often,  Arthur usually winning.
“Kip has been behaving nicely....” Abel muttered, reluctantly letting his shoulders relax. Giving out a breath, he gave into Arthur’s tactics. With a short cough, he let Arthur have his win, “I will buy a stalk.”
Looking up, smiling as if he wasn’t already gleaming, Arthur replied, “Perfect! I’ll add the price of the stalk to your total and you can be on your way.”
Abel grunted, aggressively grabbing the paper bag Arthur pushed his way. As he walked out, he could hear the shop owner telling him that he’ll see him later, and he just raised his hand in reaction. 
The smile never wavered even as Abel left his shop. There were a few customers that would make their trip to the counter once they were finished. Arthur’s attention, however, was on the trio of highschoolers that followed in after Abel left. “I don’t know how I failed that chemistry quiz, my grade’s totally down the shitter!” Alfred groaned loudly as he struggled to close his umbrella, it resisting no matter how hard he tried to pull it into place. “How the hell does Francis work this thing.” He yelped as the umbrella snapped down once he clicked the button. 
“It’s ‘cause you were staring at Ivan the whole study period yesterday, that hunk of a Russian keeps distracting you,” Matthias teased, walking to the sweets aisle. The other two boys followed, Alfred quickly grabbing a bottle of soda from the freezer.  
“Hey, Mattie told me to get some milk before I came home, I’ll be at the counter,” With a peace sign, Alfred departed from the trio. 
Gilbert scanned the shelves for his desired treat; a bag of  Haribo gummy bears. And although he looked up and down the shelves, his favorite candy wasn’t to be seen. “Hey store man!” He yelled, and Arthur piped up.
“Yes?” Arthur got up from his seat and walked towards the isle the voice was coming from. 
The German pointed to the empty hook which once held what he was looking for, “Do you have any gummy bears available?”
Arthur thought back to earlier today, where one girl bought the rest of his gummy bear stock. “Ah, I’m sorry about that. Earlier today a young lady came in and purchased my supply. We won’t be getting more until Friday I’m afraid.”
Gilbert stared at him for a moment, processing what the store owner said. “By any chance…” He mumbled, and Arthur almost couldn’t hear, “Was the girl wearing a flower pin with pink and orange carnations? And was she wearing one of these uniforms?” Gilbert tugged at his uniform with a blank expression.
“She did! Do you know her from school?” Arthur questioned, fighting a sickening smile that threatened to creep onto his cheeks. 
The boy’s blank expression turned to one of anger. Matthias started laughing at him from behind, and Gilbert turned around to tell him to shut up. “She’s our- uh- friend!” Matthias butt in, grabbing Gilbert’s shoulder with his empty hand. In the other, he held a bag of black licorice, one that Arthur recognized immediately. 
“Lovely, if you still want your bag of gummies, I might have a couple of those gummy roles made by the same company,” Hook, line, and sinker. 
The greyish haired male’s attention perked immediately, and Arthur couldn’t help the smile that approached his face. “I suppose that would do…” 
“Excellent!” Arthur waved his hand to symbolize that the boys needed to follow him to the counter. 
“Yo Mr. Kirkland! No red milk today?” Alfred asked as Arthur got closer to the counter. 
“Red milk?” Arthur had to think for a while about Alfred’s choice of words, “ Ah, whole milk. We ran out yesterday and your father could only find 2%,” Arthur gave the signature smile that he learned to give whenever childlike ignorance was at play. “I can check Alfred out first. If you boys want to buy anything else just let me know,” He slipped himself behind the counter and took the milk and soda from Alfred. 
“The weather’s getting pretty bad…” Matthias muttered, taking a glance towards his friends.
Gilbert sighed and looked out the window, “Ja, news says that the storm won’t let up until like three in the morning. Do you just wanna grab a bus or something??”
A loud crack suddenly made its way into everyone’s ears. Gilbert and Matthias’ eyes quickly darted towards Alfred, who was visibly sweating despite the cold weather. Alfred took a big gulp of air, and gripped the side of the counter tightly as he tried to steady himself; failing as his body slowly sunk closer to the ground. “You okay man?” Matthias grabbed his shoulders and tried to bring him up. 
Alfred looked at the ground sickly, attempting to steady his breath and contain the tears that threatened to leak out. “I-I’m uh-” his speech started to stutter, something Arthur never saw from the energetic American. His palm started to itch a little bit.  “I’m- I’m fine,” he assured. “I’m fine,” Alfred repeated again, almost as if he was trying to convince himself of the same thing. 
Arthur had to grab his wrist tightly so he wouldn’t begin to scratch his hand, “Are you sure? I can give you so-”
“I’ll call Toumas so he can give us a ride home safely. Is it okay if we wait here a little bit Mr. Kirkland?” Matthias asked, getting his phone out and putting the bag of licorice on the counter. “I’ll pay for Alfred’s stuff. Can you get him, Gil? I’ll buy your stuff too.” 
Gilbert nodded and grabbed Alfred, pulling him to the side despite the protests. “Of course, I have a couple customers still needing to pay though, so once you pay make your way into the back exit.”
Matthias nodded, and looked behind him, muttering a small apology to the people politely waiting for them to finish. “Thanks a lot, Mr. Kirkland. Alfred uh- doesn’t deal very well with storms.” 
Arthur nodded understandingly and separately bagged the three boy’s groceries. Matthias made his way towards his two friends, grabbing the bags and thanking Arthur profusely. Despite trying to grab Alfred’s shoulders again, he pushed both of them away, insisting he didn’t need to be helped. 
Bringing his phone closer to his ear, Arthur could make out tiny bits of conversation from the Dane’s side. “Hej Toumas! Can you give Gil and Al a ride home? We’re stuck in the storm at the corner store near the school…. No, not the grocery run by Mr. Wang, the one run by Lukas’ tutor…. Yeah, that one. Ten minutes? Alright, I’ll tell the guys, thanks Toumas!” 
The Dane clicked off his phone and gave a thumbs up to Arthur. He smiled back and centered his attention on the lady waiting at the counter. “My apologies for the long wait ma’am, those boys needed assistance.” 
The itch in Arthur’s palm didn’t go away until long after the trio left.

Horse Girl
Tumblr media
Pairing: Loki x Reader
Summary: You are visiting Asgard with Loki along with the rest of the avengers. You and Loki have adventured to Asgard frequently and the Avengers soon find out your hidden hobby
AN: this is a request from myself! As a horse trainer in real life, this is something I've wanted to write for awhile. It's not good lol. Requests Open!
*****************
Y/n has been an Avenger for 5 years. Her sorceress powers helped in missions, but also caught the eye of a particular God of Mischief. Loki and y/n have been a couple for almost 3 years now. They have gone on many adventures together, including frequent trips to Asgard once Loki found out your hidden passion.
Loki walked into his shared room with y/n to find her filling a duffel bag with only Odin knows. "Darling, you realize you have a room full of clothes, shoes and anything you could possibly need in Asgard. Plus you can summon anything you need." Loki commented as he watched you throw a paper bag into the duffel bag. You stops packing and walks over to Loki." None of this is for me, love" you smile as you summon a leather saddle into Loki's arms. His arm was already out stretched to catch it, as he smiled brightly at you. "oh I should of known better than to think all those treats and leathers were for me" Loki teased as he chuckled and winked at you. You zipped up the duffel bag and it disappeared in a puff of blue smoke. You walk over to Loki and grab the saddle from his arms doing the same. "Maybe later, Lo" you tease back standing up on your tip toes to kiss his lips. "are you ready now, love?" Loki asked as he looked around your shared room before he found the book he was currently reading and handed it to you. You poofed the book to Asgard as you did every time you travel in the bi frost. Can you imagine suitcases in the bi frost!? " Yes, now let's go make sure the others are ready!" you gleamed as you grabbed Loki's hand and pulled him into the common room.
Steve, Tony, and Thor,were all waiting by the elevator when you came around the corner, still dragging Loki behind you." Thank the gods you guys are here! I'm trying to explain why they can't take carry on bags through the bi frost!" Thor exclaimed as you got closer to the group. Each Avenger had a small bag, most of them being duffel bags such as yours. Then your eyes landed on Tony. Of course Tony was the issue. Tony was leaning against the wall with not only a backpack but 2 roller suitcase. He caught you staring at his luggage and explained "you can't possibly expect me to go to Asfard without hair care products and electronic signal boosters!" If looks could kill, Loki would have killed him right then and there. You placed your hand on Loki's chest, noticing his slightly twitching eye "Tony, I need to teleport all your shit to, not Asfard but Asgard. That's quite a lot of energy for your hair and electronics" Tony whines and sits down on the floor, opening botj suit cases and tossing several things out. After 20 minutes of organizing Tony's shit and teleporting everyone's things to Asgard, everyone followed Thor outside. "Heimdall, open the bi frost!" Thor shouted, raising his hammer to the sky. Loki wrapped his arm around you as the bi frost beamed down "Everyone hold onto your breakfast" Loki snarked as the bi frost beamed the group to Asgard.
You all appear in a beautiful golden room and spotted Heimdall immediately. Loki let you go with a smile on his face and you ran over to Heimdall and hugged him. Heimdall giggled as he patted your back, keeping an eye on Loki knowing Lady y/n was his. "Lady y/n! It's great to see you once again!" Heimdall exclaimed as the rest of the team made thier way over to you. " It is great to see you too my friend! These are the Avengers," y/n began pointing at each Avenger introducing them. "Nice to meet you all. I have arranged transport for you all" Heimdall explained as he pointed towards the door way. You stared bouncing up and down in excitement as Loki just laughed at the confused look on the others faces. You finally calmed down and shimmered yourself into black pants and boots with a leather green tunic similar to Loki's as you began to lead the way outside.
Tumblr media
You spotted him immediately. They're were 3 horses and a large horse drawn carriage. You ran up to a large dappled Grey horse and wrapped your arms around his neck. You grabbed the reins and led him over to the team. "Everyone, meet Luca! Luca meet everyone" you announced with a smile as you scratched his forehead. Steve was the first to step forward with an outstretched hand. Luca began licking his hand and Steve giggled as he pet Luca. "I didn't know you liked horses so much y/n" Steve looked at you with confusion on his face. Loki answered for you as he walked over to greet Luca, who nearly knock him over as he snuggled into his side. "oh Steve. Like isn't a strong enough word. She loves horses. She rode them as a child and trained them before becoming an Avenger." Loki gloated for you. You laughed at your boyfriend "it's not like I've been hiding it from anyone Loki. It never came up" you laughed. You walked over to one side of Luka and put a foot in the stirrup and pulled yourself into the saddle. Loki followed you over, making sure you got on safe. You leaned down and kissed his lips. "save the PDA, love birds!" Tony yelled as he got into the carriage with Steve. You broke your kiss with Loki and giggled as he gave Tony a death glare.
Thor got on his horse, a large white mare named Everly. Loki grabbed his horse and flawlessly climbed into the saddle. His horse was a jet black stallion named Diagon. "Race you to the palace?" you wiggled your eye brows at Loki and clicked at Luca. Loki kicked Diagon forward to keep up with you "You're on!" Loki exclaimed with a gleam in his eye. With his words you kicked Luca and he was off like a bullet. The wind blew through your hair as you galloped towards the palace. You leaned forward slightly in your saddle sending your hands up Luca's neck making him gain even more speed. You looked over your shoulder to see Loki and Diagon about 100 yards behind. You giggled and slowed Luca down until he was fully stopped. You looked down at your nails as if bordem had over come you from waiting. Loki finally reached you. " Baby Luca has grown into quite the athlete. Diagon never had a chance!" you giggled sticking your tounge out at your red faced boyfriend. "Cut him some slack! I think he does quite well for his age y/n" you both walked the rest of the way to the palace, figuring Thor stayed with Steve and Tony. "You know, when I came to Asgard with you for the first time 2 years ago, I was overjoyed to see where you grew up and meet your parents but I have gained a great friend as well" you told Loki as you layed down on Luca's neck as he walked along. "That horse chose you and you him, love. You taught him everything he knows and he recognizes that." Loki replied laughing at the horse holding his head higher so you wouldn't slide right down his neck. You rode this way until you reached the palace. You dismounted off Luca and started walking him back to the stables. The others were still no where to be seen so you had time to take him back to his stall and pamper him. Loki followed you with Diagon. You got to Luca's stall and pulled his saddle and bridle off, putting it on the rack outside his stall door. You grabbed his halter and a lead rope to bring him outside to eat some grass. You started walking outside with him and noticed Loki's wide grin as he closed Diagon's stall door, leaving him to munch on some hay. You thought nothing of him being happy. Everyone else would be surprised but not you. His smile made your heart skip a beat and the more you were with him the more you saw that gorgeous smile. You finally reached a nice patch of grass and settled there with Luca.
All of a sudden a green puff of smoke appeared around Luca's head. You cocked your head to the side, confused at what was happening but knowing it was definitely Loki. Once the smoke cleared, there was a silver plate on Luca's halter. You stood up and moved closer to Luca to read the silver plate. Engraved on the plate in beautiful cursive writing you recognized as Loki's handwriting,"Will you Marry Me?" you read it over again in your head and clasp a hand over your mouth. "I figured I could use some assistance from Luca" Loki spoke from behind you, making you spin around to face him. He was down on one knee holding a beautiful silver ring with a diamond and 2 emerald stones. "y/n, you have made every day a new adventure. You have brightened the darkest of days. You have been my best friend, my love and my everything. I love you with all my heart. Will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Laufeyson?" Loki spoke as he held your hand in his. Tears were streaming down your cheeks from his sweet words." yes Loki! I love you with all that I am. Yes I'll marry you!" you answer as Loki stands up and grabs you by the waist spinning you around in his arm. He put you down and slid the rinf onto your finger. It fit perfectly. Loki grabbed your chin and tilted your head up, crashing his lips into yours. He used his thumb to wipe away the happy tears collected on your cheek. Whistling started erupting from behind where you were both too emersed in each other to notice at first. Cheers followed as you broke you kiss with Loki, still leaving your arms around his neck. Thor, Steve, Tony, Heimdall, Frigga and Odin were standing in the doorway of the stable, clapping and beaming with excitement. " They knew!?" you turned to a smiling Loki "Of course they did, darling! Why do you think Thor didn't join in our usual race home?" you giggled and pecked his lips. "Let's get your horse home, Lady Laufeyson." You beamed at your now fiance as he tried out this new name. "I can definitely get use to that" you exclaimed, walking Luca back to the stables with one hand and holding Loki's arm with the other.

First Love // Pt. 3
im so so so sorry it took me like 300 years to update but I just got no inspiration for this story. i'll not promise anything but i have a few ideas that i'll sooner or later write but im not sure when i'll actually post them. again, im sorry!
Tumblr media
a few days passed and i really enjoyed my time here in paris. i'm now friends with juleka and rose, but i get along with almost everyone in class.
almost because chloé is still a bitch to me. i don't understand her but i don't think i want to. she is mean, even to her only friend sabrina. i hope she will treat us nicer in future.
today i'll go to juleka's house boat. i couldn't believe her when she told me she lives on a boat but she showed me a picture and damn. that shit is cool.
"hey, y/n. you ready?", juleka asked after our last class for today ended.
"yes, let me just grab a book from my locker", i smiled. i'm really excited to see this boat. in germany i've only been on a boat once and when i was five. i don't even remember it.
when i was searching for my book in my not so messy locker i heard a boy greeting juleka. i found my book and turned around-
i saw the most handsome boy i've ever seen. so that's juleka's brother. she could have warned me- he's fucking cute.
"hi, you're y/n, right?", handsome boy with perfect hair asked me.
"äh-ähm yeah, that's me. i'm y/n, hi". i mentally slapped myself. what's up with my stuttering?
"y/n, meet my brother luka", said juleka.
we started to walk out of the school, to the bus station.
"hello, luka", i greeted him again, and again mentally slapping myself. i literally just greeted him..
"hi, again. juleka mentioned you moved to paris from germany. that's pretty cool"
i chuckled. "thanks, but it was also a big change"
"well, i would probably lock myself in a room for a week if i had moved to another country", juleka admitted.
we talked and laughed together the whole bus ride and the way to juleka's and luka's house boat.
"woah, it looks so damn cool!"
luka smiled. "wait until you see it from the inside"
we got on the boat and walked into a living room where a woman with grey hair and red glasses was reading a book.
"hello, mom", said juleka and tossed her bag on the floor.
"hello, you two. and hello young pretty lady, you must be y/n", she got up and reached her hand out.
we shaked hands and i blushed a little bit at the compliment she gave me. "yes, it's nice to meet you, ms couffaine"
"ah, screw that. call me anarka"
i nodded. "okay"
anarka then turned around to her kids. "who wants food?"
five minutes later we all sat on the deck eating y/f/f. juleka must have told her mother what i like.
"so, how was school today? luka, how was your history test?", anarka asked.
"well, i think i did well. it wasn't so hard", luka answered.
"what was it about again?", juleka asked her brother.
they are all so calm. like, literally, i've never seen juleka stressing out about something.
"the vietnam war"
i hope luka doesn't have a girlfriend.
after we finished lunch i followed juleka to her room. it was pretty dark decorated but it looked nice.
"make yourself comfortable"
she didn't need to say that twice, i let myself fall on her bed and closed my eyes.
"can we do the homework later?"
juleka chuckled. "first work, then the fun"
i groaned but still grabbed my bag back to get my homework.
i started with maths, but i didn't understand it so i asked juleka.
"sorry, i don't understand it. how about you ask my brother? i think he knows that"
i froze. "no-no. he's your brother, you have to ask him"
"wouldn't you mind to spend some time with him? hm?", juleka asked with a grin.
oh that little-
"i-"
"go to him and ask him"
juleka pushed me out of her room. i have a feeling she already ships luka and me.
tbh I already thought of our ship name. (a/n as for me it would be miluka lol)
i saw a door with 'luka' on it so i knocked.
"come in", luka's calm voice said.
i opened the door slowly, he sat on his bed with a guitar on his lap.
i would like to change place with the guitar.
"hi- uhm. i need help with my math homework and juleka said i should ask you"
he gave me a smile. "come on, sit down. i'll see what i can do"
i walked to luka's bed and sat down next to him. i gave him my book and explained to him what i didn't understand.
"so, uhm- do you now what the book wants me to do?"
luka chuckled and nodded. he told me what to do and explained everything to me.
"it's not that difficult if you now what to do", he handed me my book and smiled softly.
"thank you, luka. now i understand that crap", i said and got up from his bed.
"yeah, math sucks, i know"
i walked to the door and turned around. "thanks again, i won't disturb you anymore"
"you didn't", he simply said.
i smiled and left his room.
"he helped me, now i understand that shit", i told juleka as i entered her room again.
she grinned like a little school girl. "that's nice to hear "
after we finished our homework juleka and i decided to go up on the deck.
"mom wants us to play for the fe dela music in- i think it's in two weeks", juleka said.
rose and juleka already told me about their band. they even asked me if i want to join but i didn't want to. i loved music but i'm fine with just listening to it.
we stood on something that will sooner or later be a stage. it was a mess, instruments were laying around everywhere.
"do you guys have a name for you band?", i asked. when they told me about the band, they said they don't have a name yet.
"we have a few in mind but we haven't decided on one yet"
i nodded and picked up a guitar from the ground. "is it hard to play a guitar?"
juleka shook her head. "if you know how it works then not, but i don't think you know how a guitar works"
"i know when you stretch the strings it makes a tone"
"congrats, i'm mind-blown"
after that juleka taught me a little bit about how to play the guitar. at first i was horrible but at the end i could actually play a few tones.
"you're not so bad, actually"
"thanks"
~ timeskip ~
"how was your day with juleka?", my mom asked me as soon as i got home.
"it was super! we played the guitar and then rose and luka came to us and- it was really funny", i told her.
mom smiled. "that's nice to hear, but who is luka?"
i blushed a bit. "he's juleka's brother"
after a short chat with my mom i walked into my room and collapsed on my bed. fortunately, tomorrow's saturday which means i don't have to go to school. marinette asked me if i wanted to go to the cinema with her, alya and nino. i'm already excited about that.

Other than Lila with her kids, are any of the other parents in your AU struggling with a strained relationship with their kids?? What are the parenting styles of the original gen and how do their kids feel about them?
Okay, this is actually the best question I’ve ever received about the next-gen. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve gotten so many great questions on it and enjoy answering and seeing them all, but this is actually super good for the lore, backstory, character development and personalities.
Although I might reblog this later with another part (or a few); as for now, I’m only doing Adrienette, DJWifi and Lukagami.
Let’s start with Marinette and Adrien. We know they’re both had different upbringings, as she grew up in a very loving and supportive household with great parents, while Adrien had his mother and... Him(TM). After they defeated Hawk Moth and it was revealed he was Adrien’s father, he was very depressed for almost two years afterwards, and didn’t open up to anyone until around after seven months, and it was actually to Alya.
Soon enough, everyone else within their ‘main’ circle found out, but not until after Marinette was secretly taking him to therapy. He was afraid they’d judge him for his mental heath issues due to Him(TM)telling him boys aren’t allowed to feel sad/be depressed/not be okay (aka another reason for us all to hate Him(TM)lol). The other guys paid visits to their house more often and went to see him and overall were like brothers to him, considering they saw it as a way to pay him back for doing so many good things for them and to help him through his hard times. This was after they’d returned from living in New York so Marinette could begin her fashion career, which was for two years (ages 23-25). Chloe kinda picked up on it based off of Adrien’s behavior, considering both they’ve known each other for a long time and she’s dealt with it in her lifetime too. Adrien was also teaching at him and Kagami’s fencing academy before he revealed his struggle, so he used his occupation to try and mask it considering he loves fencing so much. 
Long story short, he finally became fully okay when he was around 27, and was completely happy and content with his life and everything in general, and even more so, as it was just around the time he and Marinette found out they were going to have Maddie. Tho, he did have to work more often as a fencing teacher considering Kagami was out on leave as she had Jade around the same time. (But she came back three months after giving birth and wore her in a carrier strapped to her chest while teaching, lol.)
But to be safe, he went to therapy once more in the timespan of Marinette’s pregnancy just to be fully positive - as he didn’t want to end up like Him(TM). Lol.
When Maddie was around six months, he started taking her out as Chat Noir and would sing the ‘little kitty on a roof’ song from Chat Blanc and Felix to her on the rooftops or sitting at her grandmother Emilie’s statue. And of course, the song ends with the little kitty being found and having his own family. (I love sappy protective Dadrien so much!)
Marinette is more of the kick-ass mom who’s kind AF but would snap a bone if anyone threatens/hurts her children, and she’s a great babysitter too. (Might be from her experience as Jade and Kara’s shared godmother, haha.)
Long story short, both Marinette and Adrien are capable, protective and great parents in general and their kids all love them. Also, Adrien is so sickeningly lovey-dovey with her around their kids so he can show them examples of how to treat your partner right. Lol. Certified Good Father(TM). Gabriel could never.
Onto Alya and Nino.
Alya is, out of the main Team Miraculous ladies, the most experienced and naturally-accustomed of them all to be a mother.
We’ve seen her helping Nino with Chris in season three (such as Chrismaster and Stormy Weather 2), along with helping Marinette with Manon in the original Stormy Weather and Prime Queen, and of course, her two little sisters. So, I feel she’s the most calm, levelheaded, and of course experienced in the field.
The same thing applies to Nino, as he’s an older brother to Chris and Alya’s sisters (including Nora) see him as pretty much a part of the family, like in Stormy Weather and Miracle Queen.
So, Alya and Nino already do have experience with kids, but that absolutely does not mean they’re perfect at being parents. But they were gloating and prideful for the right reasons when they realized Kara was pretty much both of them, as she’s hyper-productive like Alya: She’s a theater singer, TV actress, comedienne, harpist, flutist, and writer/amateur author. As for her traits shared with Nino, she makes up lots of weird words and sayings. Heck, one time, she walked into Marinette and Adrien’s Christmas gala in a multicolored glittery outfit and said ‘bonjour, y’all’. Maddie and Lilli were super embarrassed lmao.
Finally, for Kagami and Luka.
Kagami doesn’t have a healthy relationship with her mother as she grows older - when it was revealed Tomoe was a bit of an enabler to Gabriel, she felt really betrayed and unsafe in her own home, so she escaped from her home by getting emancipated with the help of Chloe, Sabrina and Roger. Not to mention, one of the reasons she and Adrien broke up was because their parents kept putting pressure on the other, so while she and Adrien would have been a healthy relationship, their parents could have held a candle to the danger of making it unhealthy with their controlling behavior and pushiness towards their future child-in-law and actual kids.
She lived with Luka ever since then (they got together shortly after she was emancipated), and she considers his family hers and vice versa. Especially Juleka, considering she was actually one of the first members of the Girl Squad to befriend her after Marinette introduced her to the others (they were friends even before Kagami began a relationship with Luka, lol). The same applies for Rose.
Moving on - with her anxiety and trauma with her own mother, she went to therapy before having children so that when she’d actually have her own, she wouldn’t be her own mother towards them.
And it worked out perfectly.
She definitely did become more sensitive and softer when she became a mother, as she’s afraid of saying the wrong thing one day or being flat-out cold, cruel and mean to her daughter(s).
Luka, however, is an entirely different scenario.
While he didn’t have a father in his life and his mother is kind of... wacky, per se, he had to mature for both himself and his sister, so he’s pretty good with children for that reason.
She’s more of the disciplinary role while he’s the chiller, selfless one (not to say she isn’t), and while they have many of the same strengths, they each play different roles as parents and are generally amazing at what they do.
Thanks so much for the ask! I’m sorry this took a while to answer, but I hope you enjoyed what I had to respond with!

Ikemen Revolution - Edgar’s Route
Sirius | Lancelot | Fenrir
aka the sexiest man in the entire red army the entire cast. the hottest stud in the military. the most gorgeous boy in Alice’s harem. the man who will satisfy your wishes and desires, the man who will make your hopes and dreams come true.
Tumblr media
THE SMOOTHEST TALKER EVER
it’s been over a month since I finished Edgar’s route but here is his long awaited and very delayed scream fest. I wrote this up bit by bit over the course of two months but I never had the time to sit down and proof read it until now because of school and I didn’t want to post something half assed because it’s Edgar! Also this is uhh... really freaking long LOOL. As usual, if you you want my actual serious final thoughts on the route, just skip to the final blurb. 
Now with literally every red army route so far (except Jonah), OF COURSE the Black Army mofos send Alice off with more NAMELESS, FACELESS soldiers who can’t do shit in the face of kidnappers, and end up getting their ass kicked, leaving poor Alice completely defenseless. This time around, the kidnappers make off with Alice’s belongings into the sunset so Alice can’t return home.
That is until our dashing gentleman aka Edgar comes in going like hey baby I’ll help you find your stuff so won’t you please come home to bed with me and of course Alice accepts because he’s a damn hot stud.
Tumblr media
Aw Kyle don’t say that ;;;;;.
Tumblr media
SO PRECIOUS.............
I’m going to say it right now but Edgar is ADORABLE. Literally the first half of his route is just him and Alice bonding over their love of candy and playing with animals. Edgar even takes Alice out to see a family of ducks he takes care of and he refers to them as his own family and fucking named them “The Creeks” JUST HOW PRECIOUS CAN HE GET???? Considering how Edgar is portrayed as that “evil scheming asshole here to ruin everyone’s day” in everyone else’s route, I didn’t expect him to be so sweet BUT HE IS SUCH A GOD DAMN SWEETIE as you can see I’m infinitely biased towards LIs who like animals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What... a .... fucking... dork
Tumblr media
lmao @ Lancelot trying to act like a do-s when he’s the complete opposite of that. This man doesn’t have a single sadistic bone in his body... he’s just a big mushy teddy bear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHAT A FUCKING BIG MUSHY TEDDY BEAR, BOTH OF YOU.
Tumblr media
The red army boys are a bunch nerds you just can’t help but fall in love with after going through their routes... especially Edgar’s! I love them all so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH NO MY BABY DON’T SAY THAT PLEASE.
Tumblr media
lmao I love the blatant acknowledgement. But also mood.
Anyway after Zero zeros in on Edgar being a sketchy prick, Edgar mopes around some more because “shit Zero is exactly right” and he has a realization that he has Feelings In His Chest. Of course Alice catches on so she bakes him some super unhealthy cookies to make him feel better (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).
Tumblr media
I MEAN... I DON’T BLAME HIM, BECAUSE SAME.
Edgar starts disappearing into the night to do “”family business”” for his totally-not-evil-uncle and I SWEAR to god at the time I was like “this mofo’s deadass going around murdering people” and now I’m just like .... ha ha.
One day Alice stumbles across Edgar coming home from “”family business”” and rushes out to greet him, only for him to freak the fuck out and hide his hands behind his back. SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT HIS HANDS WERE BLOOD SOAKED. Alice’s like wtf you doing and yanks his hands out only to find them freezing cold BECAUSE HE WAS BUSY WASHING THE BLOOD OFF OF THEM.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is one of my favourite scenes JUST.... WARMTH... THE TENDERNESS.... THE FONDNESS.... THE SHEER AFFECTION SHE HAS FOR HIM IS SO MAGNETIZING. The god damn romantic connotations is overflowing it’s practically on the same level as a damn love confession without the actual confession of love.
I love that sort of duality between their relationship being built on fake premises, but is actually very genuine at its core. Edgar may have saved Alice with ulterior motives, but his kindness towards her both when they first met and their interactions after that was very real. It’s through little things in the writing like Alice commenting on how Edgar’ hands were warm that makes it all the more endearing and heart wrenching.
Tumblr media
AGAIN--OH NO MY BABY DON’T SAY THAT PLEASE.
Tumblr media
lmao never change, Jonah. Never change.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
narrator: she was not fine.
look everything in this game may be a rip off but those LI-perspective side stories are just..............IT’S OKAY MY HEART IS ALREADY MADE OF DIAMOND.
Anyhoo the war between the two armies are starting to get Heated Up™ and Edgar requests Lancelot to go scouting in enemy territory alone, but Lancelot refuses bc it’s dangerous. Honestly idk what’s so dangerous about it considering how Sirius’s route was pretty much Edgar vs Black Army and the Black Army still had trouble but ANYWAY. Alice finds out and gets pissed and they end up arguing, to which everyone starts celebrating and clinking wine glasses in toasts because “holy shit Edgar actually has emotions?!” 😂😂
Tumblr media
MY GUY LOL WHAT IS THIS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Edgar’s route, you don’t say “I love you”, you say THIS. SERIOUSLY MY HEART HURTS SO BAD ESPECIALLY WITH THE CONTEXT OF EDGAR’S CHARACTER AND THE STORY OF THIS ROUTE.
After Edgar’s leaves on his scouting trip Claudius decides it’s a good time to come out into the limelight and ruin some people’s lives for fun so he sends Alice a letter going like “yo here’s a plot convenient key to Edgar’s safe where he keeps his weed stash so you can see the truth that your boyfriend is a PIECE OF SHIT”. And Alice is all like “ay Edgar isn’t a piece of shit, I’m sure this is just a prank!”
too bad it isn’t.
Zero takes Alice to Edgar’s safe and seriously I was on the edge of my seat wondering wtf was in his safe. I suspected it was gonna be her belongings but with the suspense they kept building in this part I wouldn’t have been surprised if there were fucking dead bodies in that locker.
So on the bright side, there were no dead bodies in the safe. On the not so bright side, Alice finds all the letters she wrote to the Black Army, as well as warning letters from them she never received so it turned out Edgar was fabricating the letters she was exchanging with the Black Army all this time. OH GOODIE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
GAHHHH NO EDGAR. 
SERIOUSLY can we talk about how good the writing in this route is?!?  All the dialogue and monologues are just structured in a way that gets to my emotions. I fucking cried during this scene because Alice’s emotions and despair was so raw and powerful and the way Edgar just silently took all her verbal abuse because he couldn’t defend himself but he was breaking with every word she said ...... ABLHEAJTARTHEATHJAEKHT.
Anyway Alice miraculously somehow escapes the Red Army Headquarters and races back to the Black Army in one piece seriously girl did you run an entire evening without stopping to black territory??? Adrenaline mixed with terror is something only for the surprise plot convenience robbers to make a reappearance. Fortunately, our MVP Luka dashingly swoops in and saves her. He brings her back to Black Territory and cooks her dinner and is there to comfort her MPH...BABY BOY IS SO SOFT AND SWEET...................
Alice completely breaks down and ME FUCKING TOO. She can’t really say much other than a strangled sob of “You know Luka, I had a lot of fun at the Red Army. Edgar treated me really, really well” or something like that and honestly that’s also she really needed to say to convey her heartbreak and betrayal. 
Tumblr media
lol I can imagine Edgar doing that.
Tumblr media
THANKS I’M FUCKING DEPRESSED NOW.
Luka reveals that he and Edgar were long time friends and muses to Alice on what he’s known about Edgar throughout the years. He drops this information on Alice not to necessarily tell her how to feel, but just as food for thought for Alice as she sorts out her feelings.
Tumblr media
THANKS I’M EVEN MORE FUCKING DEPRESSED NOW. Also this is hands down the most powerful admittance of love this game has given me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
lmao never change Seth, never change.
Anyhoo Claudius McDoucheMuffin gets into contact with Alice and is all like “hey girl I got your purse.” And for some reason, Alice thinks he’s perfectly trustworthy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ALICE....ABOUT THAT....
Tumblr media
OH NO.
Well yeah what do you know ha ha, Claudius kidnaps Alice because THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING TIME THE BLACK ARMY SENDS A NAMELESS BODYGUARD OUT TO PROTECT HER.
Claudius takes Alice to outside Amon’s sex dungeon where Edgar is there lovingly waiting for her. Edgar is slightly surprised to see Alice and is rurl pissed over his daddy uncle manhandling her so he makes Claudius give them some alone time in the carriage while he removes Alice’s ropes and dresses her wounds. Alice isn’t keen on it but she realizes that “holy shit Claudius may be a bigger piece of shit than Edgar” so she lets him spill his token tragic backstory to her.
Tumblr media
This is so god damned painful.......
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jesus christ this puts the whole “In the Bright family, loving people is practically forbidden” into context. 
This makes me wonder what would become of Edgar in the other routes where his pact isn’t abolished-- would he really marry if this was the fate he knew his wife and children would go through, or would he just stay single and let his lineage die with him?
Unfortunately, their touching reunion doesn’t last long because Claudius is pretty much banging on their carriage door going like 
Tumblr media
“time’s up bitches we got work to do” and pretty much barges in and yanks Alice away from Edgar.
Tumblr media
Bring it, asshat.
Claudius unceremoniously marches Alice straight into the thick of Amon’s sex dungeon while Edgar reluctantly dallys along with the Concerned Kermit Face the entire time. Amon pretty much ditches Lance for his new buddy Claudius so they can TAKE OVER THE WORLD HUR DUR. Him and Claudius cackle about their evil plans and Alice realizes that Edgar was more or less being manipulated by them and he’s not the Actual Worst. Amon then orders Alice to be thrown into his Personal Chambers™.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jesus christ, YOU ARE SUCH AN ASS, CLAUDIUS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DON’T MIND ME I’M JUST BEING EMO.
We cut back to Amon and Alice and Amon does his typical evil villain monologue, takes off his hood and....
Tumblr media
(屮゜Д゜)屮(屮゜Д゜)屮(屮゜Д゜)屮 HE HAS A CHARACTER DESIGN?!?!?!?!
I KID YOU NOT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW AMON WITHOUT HIS HOOD AND I WAS SHOOKED TO MY FUCKING BONES. I DIDN’T THINK HE’D ACTUALLY HAVE A PROPER CHARACTER DESIGN. It was three in the morning when I played this and I literally just put my phone down and laid in my bed staring at the ceiling as I contemplated my life choices after that.
After that shocking revelation, Amon throws Alice into the dungeons for Edgar to dashingly swoop in and save. It’s the full moon so he takes her to the gates of hell Hole That No Player Ever Wants To See. Now if this was a black army route, the suitor would have thrown Alice’s sad ass straight down that hole but this isn’t a black army route so we’re spared from that. Instead we have Alice CHUCKING ALL OF HER POSSESSIONS INTO THE HOLE ((((;゜Д゜))), effectively sealing her fate of ever going back. I get it’s supposed to be a power move but my only thoughts were “WHAT IF EDGAR DIDN’T ACTUALLY RETURN YOUR FEELINGS LMAO?!” I mean it’s an otome game so of course Edgar loves her back but can you imagine how awkward it’d be if Alice was like “I’m not going back because I love you!” and Edgar’s just like “...but I don't  feel the same”. YEESH.
On a less superficial level, I was still really sad because didn’t they make a promise to go to London together one day? ໒( •́ ∧ •̀ )७ I know it wasn’t really a promise but still! Chances are all gone now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Edgar: Alice, I’m an actual murderer. Alice: NAH, YOU’RE JUST A WEIRDO, EDGAR! (´∩。• ᵕ •。∩`) ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I AM SO FUCKING EMO.
Also!!! HE’S THE ONLY BOY SO FAR WHO HAS A KISS CG IN HIS ROUTE. (haven’t played Ray’s route yet so idk about him). You have all these Spicy CGs of the boys and Alice in sexually compromising positions and you have Actual Sex Scenes and yet this game barely has any kiss cgs LOL?! What gives?! 
Tumblr media
He’s so romantic (ఠ్ఠ ˓̭ ఠ్ఠ).
Since Edgar’s officially betrayed Claudius, he pretty much duels him and kicks his ass and arrests him. Unfortunately, arresting Claudius doesn’t absolve Edgar of his crimes and he’s still put on trial with Lancelot and Ray as the judges. This scene kind of weirded me out because Edgar says some mumbo jumbo about how he’s going on trial so he can “become a man worthy of Alice’s love” like uHHH boy you being worthy of her love ain’t gonna mean jack shit if you’re in jail. Unless you want a nice steamy serving of this ending.
Okay I’m not trying to sound like I’m justifying murder but akjheakthake just FLEETING THOUGHTS YA KNOW. This scene was hella predictable and played out exactly like we’d all know (Edgar doesn’t go to jail hurray!) but even still the trial made me SO EMOTIONAL I STARTED CRYING LMAOO.
Tumblr media
Oh Jonah, I know a game you’d love.
Tumblr media
Romantic Ending:
Now that things finally calmed down, Alice and Edgar go on a date with Luka tagging along and  Jonah acting as the fourth wheel, much to Luka’s chagrin. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫・*:.。. .。.:*・
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NEVER CHANGE JONAH, NEVER CHANGE.
Tumblr media
Out of all the pet names my fictional boyfriend could give me, being called an angel is my number one favourite IT’S JUST SO SOFT AND MAKES MY HEART GO DOKI FUCKING DOKI YA FEEL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
is it a sin that I imagined Edgar going full blown chokemedaddy yandere jealous.... not exactly a romantic thought in the romantic ending, bUT FLEETING THOUGHTS, FLEETING THOUGHTS.
Tumblr media
LUKA IS SO GOD DAMN PRECIOUS KILL ME NOW.
Tumblr media
AHHH WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE.....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-------
Honestly I’m not even gonna mince words-- I loved this route and everything that came with it.
Before I go on my rampage, shout out to Luka for being the MVP supporting character in Edgar’s route. It’s hard to imagine them being friends considering how clashing their personalities are but their friendship was surprisingly heartwarming and endearing. 
I don’t even know how to articulate my thoughts on what made this route so perfect. For starters, Edgar and Alice have amazing chemistry and their personalities compliment each other well. Their bonding and budding friendship was really endearing and felt very believable. From little superficial antics like sharing candy and taking care of animals and going on silly dates, to more blatant portrayals of the depth of their love like Alice cupping Edgar’s hand to her cheek when he was vulnerable, or Edgar straight up betraying his only family to save her. 
Alice’s circumstances of being someone from another world really complimented Edgar’s character. Edgar is a character who lived in a gilded cage his entire life--trapped by his occupation and bound by dirty blood. He’s never once known freedom or has ever had any agency over his life, but Alice shatters that equation. Alice is completely unrelated to the Red Army, or Cradle entirely. She knows nothing about his occupation or his history, and so Edgar is drawn to her because there are no division of titles between them. To her, him being the Jack of Hearts is irrelevant.
He says that without her, he gets “bored”. In the game, he complains that he’s “always bored”. Using “bored” to describe a character usually makes that character seem fickle and that they can’t be serious about anything because everything is just a means to kill time. But in the context of Edgar’s character, “bored” really means “dull”, “lifeless”, or “forced to find happiness through short lived and temporary means”. He copes with his oppression and lack of freedom by chalking up all of his feelings as just boredom. And he’s not wrong-- a life where you can’t make any of your own choices or choose your own path is indeed, very boring.
He constantly calls Alice his “special guest” which on top of being an adorable nickname, carries really heavy connotations. She’s an ethereal guest from another world, from outside of Edgar’s tiny world which he always wanted to expand. I LOVED the scene where Alice says she would like to take Edgar to London with her one day, because it’s the first time you see Edgar start to doubt his world. He’s accepted that his world is small and oppressive, but the first time, it’s almost like Edgar entertains the idea of breaking free from his bird cage.
I want to compliment the relationship development between the two, which was WONDERFULLY paced, something that pitifully cannot necessarily be said about in some of the other routes. Them falling in love felt very natural and the writers did not have to rely on shallow monologues like “he breathed in my direction, what is this feeling in my chest?!” to convince me that they were in love with each other. And when the admittance of love finally happens, it happens at very pivotal moments in the story that just makes the scene so much more emotional. 
Freaking 3k+ words and I still don’t think I did Edgar’s route justice. His route was amazingly written, and Edgar is an amazingly multifaceted and endearing character. Best boy truly got best route.
Anyway I’m almost done Loki’s route; Ray is next. After that, the routes I’m REALLY looking forward to and hope do not disappoint are: Harr, Seth, Kyle, and Luka.

Relationships:
Mousse altas: Oh boy, they argue a bunch of mousie, though kat believes that they could actually be friends, and that he can protect her, but just to get under his skin she bickers with him, would totally threaten anyone who talks bad about mousse though just cause hes mousies fiance, they actually once got into a heated fight and kat yelled at him differently then how she usually does earning a slap from mousie (thats gonna be a comic/fanfic tho) also laughs at how shes like a couple inches taller then him 
Mousie altas: BEST FRIEND OMG I LOVE YOU, ehem, she loves her and would die for her, loves all her treats, and if she doesnt she still eats them but doesnt ask for seconds, brings snacks over all the damn time, compliments everywhere,likes picking her up, she honestly cried when mousie said she was engaged (out of happy tears maybe?) *kat holding someone from the collar* "kat all they said was i looked like a kid.." "EXACTLY" after a fight (wich happens every blue moon) mousie finds kat at a bar and has to pick her up "LITTLE MOUUUSEE~!"  "hm?.."

Blanc: "hey can i have an other slice of the carrot cake its really good!" blanc"????" oliver".... she cant visit no more" boom thats their relationship
Lancelot kingsley: After all that she and it was actuallly amon who was behind everything her reacting kinda was like "oh dang, OK COME HERE LET ME SHOW SOME LOVE" honestly just wants to be friends with him from all the burdens he had are they friends now? "more like acquaintances but im working on it!, sirius and sometimes harr are helping me on trying to help him open up"
Jonah clemence: ok so if she was going to try friending lance shes gonna HAVE to be on the good side with jonah, brought him macaroons from mousies cafe and told him she knows luka and so that was a good start, she sometimes gifts him lukas desserts. are they friends? "i would like to believe so! his tsun side is kinda, something, but when he actually lets those walls fall hes quite nice! right now were trying to get luka talk to him"
Edgar bright: "SKETCHY" shoot hes sketchy little thing but he HAS TREATS, likes his ducks, but honestly think hes really awesome with sword fighting, she asked luka about him and he said that hes "aright" so she takes his word for it are they friends? "yes?"
Kyle ash: asked if he can teach her some basic stuff for dressing wounds, noticed hes also a light weight YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, two drunks being dragged from the collar out of the bar and just laying out infront of the bar like rats, totally calls him out for him saying "Eat healthy" but then he drinks, tried picking him up it actually worked! are they friends?: "HECK YA HES COOL!"
Zero: "ok what the heck happened to you so i know who to murder-" actually started to warm up to edgar when she noticed that he was friends with zero, asked if she can pick him up, it didnt work, asked if he can pick her up, DID WORK, when she was in the dumps cause mousie had work zero gave her a lolipop, ".. omg your a treasure too.." Zero"what?"
Black Army:
Ray blackwell: CAPE BUDDIES! actually really looks up to him and thinks hes super cool! she joined a a few months before him, totally talked to him like a kid but when he became king she kinda was like "Crap waIT WHAT?" asks (she begs) if he can take her when he sees the ally cats, they bond over the kats, though she finds it annoying when they shed on her black cape
Sirius oswald: "who ever thinks im kats dad raise your hand- KAT PUT YOUR HAND DOWN" they knew each other in school, or more like she saw him when they were in school and she just stared at his bangs that looked like they were cut with a lawn mower IMSORRY, shes either on his side defending him from the brats like a proud mother hen, or she is the brat, shes like "no thats not smart" next day shes doing that thing, sirius is on edge around her just cause she can turn on him whenever she feels like it either shes on his side or not lol
Luka clemence: thought he was a girl "wow your really pretty." turns out hes a guy " WOW YOUR A REALLY PRETTY GUY" took a while for them to actually become friends but they got there! praises his cooking/desserts like if its the best thing on this planet COUGH it is COUGH, she gets up around the same time as luka does just so she can make it to the hq on time for breakfast, sometimes asks if they can spar if she catches him training.
Seth hyde: "are you gay?" insert shocked seth face, he helps braid her hair since she cant get it right i mean SHE CANT SEE BEHIND HER HEAD, when she came home one day from a date with harr, harr braided in flowers and seth felt betrayed cause 1: why didnt he think of that and 2:" KAT YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TO BRAID YOUR HAIR WHA" he picked her out some dresses she wants to wear them so badly but doesnt want to one day look like she has somewhere important to be when shes just going on to get fruit, and plus she usally just wears her uniform, tried picking him up, didnt work, he "tried" picking her up " SETH WHY AM I TOUCHING THE SEALING"
Fennir godspeed: "FENNIIIIRRRRR YOOO WHATS GOOD MY GUY" REALLY LIKES TALKING TO HIM, like an older brother to her, he was actually the one who gifted her the gun holster+ a pistol since she took interest in his duel ones, though she only got one since she has shaky hands and needs to hands to steady her hands, tells him hes chicken for not eating his tomatoes, he still doesnt eat them,
Family:(will go in more detail in fanfic or backstory) Parents, two older brothers, two younger sisters Parents: AWESOME, LOVES THEM A WHOLE BUNCH!? Oldest brother: they were kinda close at childhood but drifted away when getting older Second oldest brother: BEST FRIEND, tells him everything, actually joined the blackarmy cause he did youngest sisters:was and still kinda is jealous of them but got over it and trying to fix their relationship
Miscellaneous
Shes secretly really insecure and laughs it off, but is honestly week sometimes and just cries and so shes just smiling while crying and in her head shes just like "Ah yes here i am making everyone around me uncomfortable" is also a stress eater but mousie thinks shes just enjoying the sweets, got bullied as a kid and jokes about it, had lots of friends but then they just left half the time so shes used to quick friends, likes fruit, if you gift her a fruit salad she will probably cry if you cant tell already she crys alot , sometimes she annoys people that are her friends and feels like traasssh is such a light weight its not even funny, when she was younger she was like "oh ya im not going to be a light weight imma be like my dad!" first drink "DAAD IM A LIGHT HECK" 
Snippit of a backstory- TO BE CONTINUED

Kyle’s Route part 9
Initial ramblings! I’m 1/3 the way through now!
Spoilers from Edgar's route, Ray's route, Fenrir's route
Catching up from Sunday's reading! This one also includes a bit more theorizing.
They started the part right where part 8 ended -- Kyle saying he'll feel lonely without Alice! MY HEART! And OK, yeah, he brings up the alcohol and losing his drinking buddy but!! It still feels like he was sad for Alice. This is supported by the fact he insists that he's just her guard a moment later, because Edgar already revealed all in the last part. We know Kyle's more considerate than he wants to let on.
Sharing one drink = official Kyle's drinking buddy status. God I love this alcoholic. I love him so much. Please someone, somewhere, save him from his addiction. Alice is having a change of heart for him. She lies awake in her room next to Lancelot’s, unable to fall asleep, and reflects on all the people she’s met. The image of Kyle pops up and "(There's someone here who truly wants to protect me. When I first met him, I thought he was just an overbearing drunk. But now that I've gotten to know Kyle more, when I'm with him I--)"
And the best choice option is "Like him" and awww!! "(I like him, I think. People as kind as him are rare in this world.)"
"Whenever he looked at me with that soft smile on his face, I felt kind of restless. But also happy."
AWWW!! I respect the fact she thinks she can't stay with the Red Army, but it's irking that she's so instant on going back to the Black Army. I'd rather she just want to go back home to the Land of Reason if anything. Or go to Blanc, even.
We jump over to the Black Army and here we get a bizarre game error where the wrong name pops up. All of a sudden Fenrir is talking about some girl named Andromeda being taken by the Red Army and I'm just ???? How many girls fell through that hole LOL
Also the Black Army is so wild. The report is Alice is safe and Luka is all, "I'll never forgive [the Red Army] for treating her like this." Like OK there, buddy, did you want them to throw some torture in there or something?? And... the Black Army literally stormed the gates of the Red Army HQ in the prologue. They always forget that was a thing that happened. Like the Black Army is just as antagonistic to the Red Army as the RA is to the BA. I wish the BA showed some self-awareness that their lack of caution is what got Alice kidnapped in the first place. And it would be moronic of the Red Army to just hand her back over.
If the BA ask for Alice back, I pray they have something to offer in exchange. But considering past routes, I won’t keep my hopes up...
The translator changed the name of the "Day That Went Dark' to the "Day Lost to Darkness." I’ll be sticking with the former name that’s been around for months.
BUT WHAT'S SUPER ALARMING IS
Ray: "That sea of blood from years ago-- I've dreamt of it countless times since."
I'M SORRY BUT WHAT!? A sea of blood!? I do NOT recall that being described in Ray OR Fenrir's routes. One thing that I struggled with regarding this event is how VAGUE it is. Neither Ray nor Fenrir describe it properly. Some dudes attacked, Ray used magic, there were bodies on the floor. THE END! But wait , did people die? Did kids die?? One of Ray's endings has him visiting a cemetery on the cliff side of Black Territory and it SEEMED like those were people he killed but even then it was very, very vague.
Even in Edgar's route, Edgar comes out in saying he's killed people. He's had to murder people. He even admits Alice found him the morning after he killed someone. So why can’t they tell us clearly about what happened to Ray at school? Will explicitly saying Ray KILLED people not make him a good guy anymore? Why are we hearing about this sea of blood months later in KYLE'S route?
Although this sudden explicitness is a huge red flag that this event should have a connection to Kyle. Kyle's a year younger than Ray and Fenrir. Maybe he was one of the students involved? Or he saw the event and was hushed up about it? Maybe the horror of it drove him to drink?? It might explain why he rushed through his education after seeing so many kids hurt and killed. But a few parts ago it was hinted that maybe him becoming the 7 of Hearts wasn't a guarantee. I see two paths where this leading and it's going to be incredibly sad backstory if one of them is true...
I LOVED KYLE BUTTING INTO LANCELOT'S ROOM. Lancelot's got 0 patience for it but he still let's Kyle do whatever. Kyle giving him the four-day-old note to remind and threaten him (lmao) to come to his check-up. KYLE STICKING A FLYER FOR THE CHECK-UP ON THE WALL BY LANCELOT'S BED LMFAO. Kyle's 48202x "And one more thing" and Lancelot's 48202x "What now???"
Kyle understands Lancelot so well it feels SO GOOD. Kyle's casual caring feels SO GOOD. When he tells Lancelot to eat breakfast tomorrow because others are worrying feels SO GOOD.
Lancelot after Kyle has left: "That man just loves meddling where he's not needed. His concern can be-- overwhelming at times."
YES, PLEASE OVERWHELM LANCELOT WITH TLC! Kyle and Lancelot's relationship is SO GODDAMN GOOD!! This route is giving me exactly what I wanted! While Kyle doesn't know what's going on with Lancelot, he cares in a way he's able, and he's looking out for others even while he horrendously and publicly neglects himself. I said this before but Jonah has Lancelot on such a high pedestal that he can't understand him properly. Edgar's currently being abused on the side by his uncle so he's not really in a position to go above and beyond to help anyone. Zero is a very good boy who wouldn't normally get into altercations with Lancelot anyway. But Kyle is different. Why is Kyle different? Why does Lancelot let Kyle get away with everything?
I'm predicting it has to do with Kyle's past. They joined the army together--Kyle was just 16, just a kid, while Lancelot was 22.
Not so fun fact: Kyle joined the army at the same age as when Harr was exiled from Cradle. 16. Both too young. In regards to Kyle, the Day That Went Dark would have happened when he was 14 (the same age as when Harr joined the Magic Tower!) So two years between the event and his graduation. I can’t recall if it’s stated he graduated at 16 as a doctor (that would be incredible? and improbable even for a studious workhouse but whatever, you go, Kyle!!) but he's clearly a good doctor now. And Lancelot would have seen all that. The trials. The struggles. And Kyle’s turn to alcoholism.

ikemen revo questions!
by @emeraldtawny || original post
thanks for the tag @day-chan xoxo
1. Why do you like Ikemen Revolution?
it has some good ass world building, varied characters (i feel like there’s someone for everyone), and the art style is my jam. i think the event stories especially are well-written and engaging, and the app itself is easy to navigate and very pretty.
2. Top 3 suitors and why?
1. y’all know it’s fenrir. i love his look, his demeanor, and his backstory (it’s not sad but i do think it’s interesting and honestly i wish we got a lil more info about it!). i love that he’s so layered, that he’s this total goofball on the surface but behind that he’s one of the most passionate, fierce suitors in the game when it comes to the people he loves. i love that he’s strong and can protect alice but that he lets alice protect him too. i love that he treats her like an equal. i love that he tries desperately to hide his feelings and that everyone can see right through it. i love how he talks and his charisma and his chivalrous gestures. i even love his stupid ass guns and the bullets that make people hiccup for 3 years straight instead of killing them. no one will ever beat him
2. sirius was gonna go here but i’m on his route and he’s pissing me off so. kyle ash gets this spot because i want him to raw me
3. ray. his route didn’t wow me but boy hOWDY do i love his character. i love that he can be stoic and standoffish but that he is every bit as intense as fenrir when anyone in the black army is threatened. that scene in his route where he interrogated the red army soldier has always stood out to me. his duality is so good
3. Suitor you relate the most to?
does it have to be a suitor? i relate to chutney the most rip
4. Favourite route?
fenrir’s! it really does focus more on the romance than worldbuilding/plot which i am okay with because it is done so. well. the pacing is perfect, and it really resonates with me as someone who loves slowburns but not the no-action-until-the-end kind. i love the relationship that alice builds with him and the pining/angst is to die for. it just pretty much hits everything i love about love stories in general.
5. Favourite moment/chapter in a route?
this definitely isn’t going to be the most profound answer to this question but i really really adore the scene in fenrir’s route where alice and fenrir are out in the field at night. they both know how the other person feels, and their faces are so close, and though they can’t bring themselves to close the distance, they can’t pull away, either. the writing is phenomenal in this scene and you really can feel the pining and how magnetized alice and fenrir are. it makes my heart clench up every time.
6. Favourite suitor pet?
chutney!!!!!! love that mischievous bratty lil raccoon
7. Least favourite suitor and why?
hmmm probably. luka??? not because i hate his character, i’m just not romantically or sexually attracted to him like at all. i think he’s cute in other routes but i’m kinda eh about doing his route when it comes out. idk maybe he’ll surprise me
8. Most disappointing suitor/route?
ugh so far i hate to say it but ray’s. it just fell very flat for me; there was no development it just went from ray makes me mad and i want to go home to i love him and i’m going to risk my life for him and stay with him forever. they spent like 3/4 of the route avoiding each other and talking to others about things they should have been discussing themselves. it upsets me bc i really do adore him i just wish his route was different
9. Favourite event so far?
the snowflake fantasy event!!!! let me shake every writers’ hand who worked on those cute as fuck stories/spicy ass epilogues. this was the first event that really blew me out of the water, and i hope future events are up to par!!
10. How do you like decorating your avatar?
unfortunately i don’t care that much about my ikerev avatar. i like the aesthetic of midcin more and so any and all avatar cash i’m willing to spend goes there.
11. Accessories you can’t live without for your avatar (eg. chibis, backgrounds)
i’m just gonna answer this for midcin since ikerev isn’t my priority in that department. i really adore backgrounds!!!! ugh and little suitor-related accessories like cheek hearts and pet chibis. also i’m a sucker for hair. i see pretty hair and i WANT it
12. Route you’re anticipating the most?
KYLE’S!!!!! BINCH i’m so fucking excited for his route let me fuck the doctor
13. If you were a suitor, what otome trope would you embody the most?
ugh probably the cynical/tsun type which is weird because i’m not a fan of them myself. i wouldn’t want to date me lol
14. What would your pet be if you were a suitor?
a white-tailed deer! they’re my favorite animal.
15. How dedicated are you in competing in every event/getting every birthday story?
i’m not at all. i stick to my favs.
16. Do you spend money on Ikemen Revolution or play free?
rn i’m playing for free. i’ll spend money on gacha and stuff but yeah the past two routes haven’t made me want to spend money on premium stories or extra chapter tickets. kyle can literally steal my wallet tho idc
17. How much has this game consumed your life on a scale of 1 to 10?
hmmmm. probably an 8. i’ve made a lot of friends through ikerev and have dedicated a lot of my writing to it, and both of those things have changed my life a lot!!!! midcin and a couple of animes i’m super into rn have also aided in that, so that’s why it’s not a full 10.
