Enemies to Lovers will always be a top tier relationship dynamic but I just *really* like Johnny and Kenshi’s relationship going from enemies who literally fucking hate each other to then being so soft,,, idk I feel like enemies to lovers usually ends in them keeping their beef but now we know it’s all lighthearted and out of love but they just kinda ,,,,,, are in love now …. And not canonically ofc, but it’s interesting right? How often does it end in them talking each other up to literal royalty and don’t even get me restarted on the whole “wouldn’t miss it for the world” with a smile on his face! And it’s just that much more disappointing that I know all of this is leading nowhere because I mean just look at our ONE canon queer couple- barely any screen time and not once are they even allowed to *be* a couple. To be queer is to yearn.

Zorro, but make it gay? Idk, but this was inspired by:
a) Melissa Etheridge’s victorianesque red carpet outfit from the 90s.
b) Tina Arena (& Marc Anthony)’s duet from “The Mask of Zorro”
c) A photo of Lauren Cuthbertson and Vadim Muntagirov from “A Month in the Country” (The Royal Ballet) by Tristram Kenton via Pinterest
d) a scene from “The Legend of the Blue Sea”
e) Melissa Etheridge’s victorianesque red carpet outfit from the 90s. Oh, I already said that? Melissa Etheridge. Melissa Etheridge. Melissa Etheridge.

Completely out of step with my usual fixation, but I saw fan art with femme!Chat, forgot about it for a while, and then got hit with idea which is basically we all know Chat is 1) a huge flirt and 2) Adrien’s outlet for everything he’s not allowed to be as Adrien Agreste.
And just…au where Adrien-> Adrienne is a girl. A girl with HUGE expectations set for her by Gabriel (f, because I think this works well with a SUPER strict, unavailable mother) and one of those expectations being, of course, to be straight.
So we got Adrienne, the most closeted gay girl to ever gay, making up male celebrity crushes and doing EVERYTHING in her power to prove she definitely, certainly, 100%, no girls included, likes boys.
And on the other hand, there’s Verified Lesbian DisasterTM Chat Noir. Gay Icon of Paris. Can’t go three seconds without spewing Gay all over the place. Is she flirting or just that useless at acting straight?
There’s a viral, gif-ed, meme-ed shaking phone recording of Chat just GOING OFF on all the ways girls are beautiful and perfect and so hot, omg, Ladybug, you don’t understand—
(Marinette thought she was straight, but now she’s fighting to ignore the fluttery feelings she gets when Chat flirts with her and, ugh, she has the worst crush on definitely-straight would-never-like-her-back Adrienne.)
Paris is pretty sure that their superheroes are dating (Have you seen those two? That is not a platonic “gal pals” situation). Ladybug shuts down anyone who suggests they’re dating but, like, if they aren’t together why does she constantly refer to Chat as her “partner” and threatens bodily harm to anyone who dares suggest she’s a sidekick or anything less? What about how they’re always cuddling together? What about all the dates?
(”They’re not DATES!” vents Ladybug.
“They’re not not dates,” says Chat with an adorable stupid wink.)
Even those who take what Ladybug and Chat Noir say at face value assume that they’re just the kind of lesbians who date for three years before figuring out they’re dating. Frankly, they’re not wrong.
But also, we’ve got Marinette/Ladybug who assume like…Chat has to be super comfortable with her sexuality, right? She throws it around everywhere. Whereas Marinette is still trying to work out how she feels about being bi. Like, she knows it’s not bad. Her parents won’t have a problem with it. Alya was delighted when she told her! So why is it still hard? Why does the thought still feel uncomfortable and, sometimes, dirty, when she thinks about it? Why is it still hard?
So of course she look to Chat, her super out and open friend, to figure out how to process it. But Chat actually isn’t okay with her sexuality at all. She pretends when she’s Chat Noir because she can, but when she’s Adrienne, she’s filled with so much shame about it. Why can’t she just be normal? Why does she have to feel this way and feel it so much if it’s so clearly bad? Sure, Chat can be gay, but Chat is a superhero and ultimately a mask. Chat can’t be real.
In this au, it’s not just Ladybug’s denial disinterest that’s holding them back, but Chat won’t actually let herself have this. Sure, she’ll flirt and make gay jokes and wear a pride flag as a cape as Pride, but actually have a relationship with Ladybug? Act on all those feelings and fantasies she has? No, no, absolutely not. She’d rather be eviscerated by an akuma first.
And Adrienne is filled with so much guilt when she’s herself for what she does as Chat. Adrienne shouldn’t do that. Adrienne shouldn’t want that. And she’s desperate not a hint of what she is as Chat Noir come through in Adrienne Agreste. This time, Chat is just as insistent, if not more, that they have to keep their identities secret. She can’t ever have her alter ego revealed. It would ruin everything. Adrienne Agreste can’t be gay.
Over time, Ladybug has to slowly figure out that Chat isn’t nearly as confident and secure in her identity as she appears be. Adrienne has to learn to actually let herself have this. That it’s absolutely okay to be in love with her best friend and partner in saving Paris (or to be crushing on that super cute girl behind her in class). And, somehow, they have to work out the classic Love Square and figure out the exceptionally obvious fact that THE OTHER LIKES YOU BACK.
useless lesbians, both of them
idk, I just think it could be a really interesting story about wlw and young queer women figuring themselves out.

So, I just genderflipped the lyrics, but have Fluttershy thirsting for a cool girl on a motorcycle.
I originally came up with the concept because I was writing something set in the 60s in which Fluttershy got a crush on Greaser Lightning Dust, but like? With a title like this and canonical dirt bike Rainbow Dash, there is literally no cooler rider than she. Also, I found way more art of Rainbow Dash on motorcycles than Fluttershy when I googled "Fluttershy on a motorcycle" to pick cover art, so obviously the fates wanted Flutterdash theming, though any cool enough rider will do, pick your poison.

oh gods im having thoughts abt a blorbo
okay so. despicable me 3. wAiT DON'T LEAVE YET I SWEAR IM GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS-
Balthazar Bratt (unfortunate name. sorry bro.) is so fucking trans coded. and overall queer coded. yes i'm being serious.
i was talking with one of the irl broskis and i realized that shoulderpads check off a lot of boxes for an 80s cis-passing trans guy.
for starters, it makes u look broader in the shoulders. you can see how that would be useful given how bio guys tend to have wider shoulders than trans guys.
plus if they're big enough, it COULD help hide the badonkadonks. the honkers. the bazongas. especially since binders likely aren't very good for the bendy supervillain lifestyle (lots of dance battles).
and shoulder pads are one of those miraculous style pieces that ride the line between stealth and passing, ESPECIALLY in the 80s!! a pretty popular style with women was oversized suit jackets with shoulder pads. combine that with the points above and you have a piece that reads as cis passing to those who know and trendy girl to those who don't.
on top of the shoulder pads, his whole villain origin story is puberty. that's basically every trans person's villain origin story.
and as for queer coded, well....
look at him.
they gave him only one earring for a reason.
