Daminette December: 10-First Kiss Fail

Adrien stood in the park, excited for today's plan. He had spoken to Marinette about going to the arcade. They had a special prize for Ultra Mega Strike 4; he just knew she would love it.

Their friends had found out about his feelings for her and rallied behind him. They had been helping him plan dates. Aya had been the biggest help, accidentlaly letting it slip that Mairnette felt the same. They had gone to the movies to see the new Jagged Stone movie; he had found out she had made some of the outfits and had asked her questions. He remembered the café she use to go to with Kagami and asked her about her designs. Today was simple; a walk in the park and video games. Maybe, he could actually confess this time.

"Adrien!" Marinette called out.

He turned around and there she was. Her style had changed, but she was still the same Mari. She was wearing a red crop top, with black shorts with tights underneath.

'And just like that, red is my favorite color all over again.'

Adrien wasn't sure when he moved. It was almost as if he had teleported. One moment he was in the middle of the park, the next he was in front of Marinette with his hands on her cheeks.

'Why are my hands on her cheeks? Am I getting closer?'

Blinding pain shot threw him as he found himself on the floor. He looked up to see Marinette furious and her fist out in front of her.

'Did....did she just...punch me?'

"Why would you try and do that?" Marinette screamed at him.

Adrien looked at her confused, from the ground and chuckled, "Why wouldn't I kiss my girlfriend?"

"Since when am I your girlfriend?" Mari questioned.

"Since.....we started dating?" Adrien spoke, confused.

"And when was that because news flash, you're not my boyfriend!" Marinette cried out, "I thought you just wanted to catch up and hang out! That's what you told me!"

"Well, yeah." he winced, "But I thought-"

"Adrien, you told people for years, that I was only a friend." Mari declared, "'Who, Marinette? No' she's just a friend. A good friend. A great friend.' You used all those words to describe me, but never as someone you wanted to date."

Adrien remained speechless, not realizing how deeply those words had carved into her psyche.

She sighed, "I'll admit that I had a crush on you when we were in Bustier's class, but I also helped you get with Kagami. I helped you with your dates because you asked. Hell, I dated Luka during that time' he asked me out and I thought he was sweet. Then, there was that disaster with Lila and you telling me to 'take the high road'; to let her lie to everyone. Your friends are your friends; they're not my friends anymore and haven't been for years."

Adrien got up from the ground and confused, "But Alya said-"

Marinette let out a loud groan, "Adrien! I haven't talked to Alya in years and whatever she told you, was before she became Lila's best friend!"

He gulped, "Marinette, I'm sorry. I didn't think a kiss would bother you that much. Please, I like you and-"

"Adrien." She spoke, softly, before shattering his world, "I have a boyfriend. If for one moment, I had thought any of our outings were dates, I never would have gone with you."

"Oh." He answered.

"I'm sorry that isn't what you were hoping to hear, but this isn't a 'I just got over you and I'm trying something.' I've been in a relationship for three years! I visit his family every year!"

Adrien slowly nodded his head, terming to grips with his heart breaking.

"I.....I think it would be best if....if we just never see each other again." Mari spoke, hesitantly.

Adrien quickly lifted his head up.

'Not see her again? Never?'

"No!" He shouted, reaching out to her, "I can change!"

"This isn't about changing, Adrien." She answered, "This is about you assuming something and taking my boundaries for granted! You're finally acting like a fifteen year old boy but we're eighteen now. You need to realize just how far you are behind, socially and emotionally. What you just did, i could have you arrested for sexual assault."

Adrien remained silent as he took her words in. He was finally able to see Marinette for the amazing woman she was, but he was too late. She had outgrown him and stated he was acting like a child.

"There; you have been unfollowed, blocked from my accounts, and my accounts are now private. I may just have to talk to.my clients and move them elsewhere." Mari sighed, "I'm not even sure how you found them in the first place, but I don't need the others harassing me, like they did in Middle school."

He gulped, "Isn't that going a little too far? The...the assult?"

She rolled her eyes, "There it is again, the 'High Road' bullshit! Majority of us are now adults! Caline was never a good teacher; she was the 'fun one'. This is reality, Adrien! There is no more 'second chances', 'I didnt mean it' or 'I swear, I'll never do it again'! This time, I can sue your friends for defamation, slander, and harassment! And if you ever tru to do what you just did, again, I won't hesitate to get you for sexual assult!"

Adrien stared as her, the situation sinking in.

'She's right. We're adults now. I've been acting like this was the same Mari who stumbled and babbled at me. This isn't the same sweet Mari who wore her hair in pigtails and wore pink. This wasnt the Mari who tripped in flats. No, this woman is different. This Marinette is confident and commanding. This Marinette had long hair and wore combat boots.'

Then, it hit him....when had she stopped looking his way? When had she stopped smiling at him? When had she gotten less clumsy? When had she stopped wearing pink? Why had he stopped noticing her?

"Everything okay, Habibiti?" a guy questioned, walking up.

"Yes, My Dove." Marinette replied, kissing him.

Adrien watched silently. It hurt to watch her be so happy with someone else. Her 'Dove' was taller and more muscular with a glare that rivaled his father's.

"Who is he?" The guy questioned.

'Fuck!'

"An old acquaintance. " Marinette answered, "He had a question for me. There was a misunderstanding, but I took care of it. Nothing to worry over."

"Should he try anything-" the guy growled out.

'Here it comes!'

"Break his arm for all I care, Habibi!" Mari shouted, making him gulp, "Just know Bruce will make you pay out of your own pocket and that means less to donate to the animal charity, next month."

"Tch." He grumbled, turning away.

Mari smiled, "Soooo, Damian, where are we going on our date? You mentioned a surprise."

Damian chuckled, "It's wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, Habibiti, but Tom and Sabine have approved of you staying with me for the week."

"Really?" The designer asked, excitedly.

He simply nodded and her smile brightened, as they walked away. He saw that smile; the same one that use to be just for him.

'I wish that was me holding her hand. I wish I wasn't an idiot all those years ago.'

"Dude, are you okay?" Nino called out, with everyone running up to him.

"That was brutal." Ivan commented.

'Fuck! I forgot they were watching! It probably would have been a lot worse if they had jumped out and confronted Mari about what she said.'

"Adrien?" Spoke Alix.

He shrugged and chuckled, "I wanted normal, right? Figures the first time I try and kiss a girl, I get rejected."

Adrien noticed something winced and some look away.

"She wasn't wrong." He whispered.

"Huh?" Nino asked.

"I never asked her out on a date." The model confessed, "I got......nervous. I mean it was Mari and she's been....I thought-Why didn't I notice her back then?"

"We did try hinting at it, years ago." Alya spoke up.

"Well, my brain hasn't caught up. I'm still years behind and I feel like I lost a chance with someone wonderful!"

"Maybe or maybe not." Nathaniel replied, "That's what dating is."

"It might last forever. " Mylene smiled, looking up at Ivan.

"Or....it might not." Alya shrugged, frowning at Nino.

"I think your dad knows better than any of us." Nino pushed back.

Alix sighed, "I didn't know she didn't see us as friends."

Alya sat on the grass, "Me either."

Mylene and Ivan sat down as well.

Adrien sat down, "I don't know when she changed and I....never noticed. It was like I was seeing Mari from Bustier's class and then glass shattered! Then, there was this older version of her, pissed off at me!"

They started laughing.

"I think we all stopped noticing." Alix admitted.

"I'm sorry for telling you something I thought was still facts." Alya spoke up, " I didn't mean to get your feelings hurt. I was a bad friend, to both of you."

"We all were." Nino agreed.

"Maybe we can leave a note with her parents." Nathaniel suggested, "Just to let her know we know we messed up."

"Let's get you a drink!" Nino cheered.

"Nino!" Alya shouted back.

"You tell us you kind of woman and we'll help you from there." Ivan smiled.

"So far, colored eyes are on the list." Adrien admitted, sheepishly.

"Don't forget woman who will kick you ass." Smirked Alix.

"What?" Adrien asked, confused.

"Kagami. Marinette." Alix answered back, "You looked like you didn't know if you should run away or try and kiss her, again."

Adrien remained silent, but his red cheeks gave away his thoughts.

"Guy's a masochist and doesn't know." Whispered Nathaniel.

"We're gonna be there all night!" Nino whispered back.

"Any guys you were into?" Alix pushed.

They watched as the blush spread from his cheeks to his ears.

"Party time!" Cried out Ivan.

Everyone got off the ground and began to drag him away.

'Sorry, Mari, for not noticing you before. I hope whoever he is, makes you happy. You look happy.'

crappy comic because i remembered the funniest thing a teacher has ever said to me while i was drawing in class

[egophiliac]

finally got some time to finish these guys up! which is sort of ironic considering I started these because I wanted to draw Malleus with a Dragapult, and then I just didn't for a million years!

Malleus has the aforementioned Dragapult, except it's a super special non-canon color Dragapult (like an anime-only form that you could get in-game exclusively through some limited-time event where you have to show up in-person at a specific location in Japan) (it has some wacky overpowered exclusive move/form and the OT is listed as Malleus) (so like that kind of ridiculous specialness) (Leona is extremely salty about this). also hoards and hoards of Dreepy. Dreepy LOVE Malleus. they take naps on his horns inbetween begging him to throw them across the island at mach speeds.

Lilia has a Drampa and a bunch of Woobat that he hasn't actually caught, they just follow him around in swarms because they sense a kinship with him. (also breaking my own rule again to say that he had a Mawile in the past, because...I just really wanted to give him a Mawile...)

Sebek has Sandile for obvious reasons, and also a Pikachu that bullies him relentlessly. :(

Silver has a shiny Corvisquire; I really went back-and-forth on also giving him an Aegislash, but...hm. those pokedex entries though. he can stick with just one for now.

(I hadn't planned on the shiny for him, but after I'd decided on the Corvisquire line and was looking it up for reference, I realized that shiny Rookidee is gold and then turns silver when it evolves and I lost my entire goddamn mind)

When I was getting my associates degree I took a course on human sexuality. It was really fascinating and wonderful. One of our assignments was to write about the first time we ever masturbated which was very uncomfortable and silly at the same time.

Mine was extremely boring because there’s nothing exciting about a five year old realizing that climbing the fire pole feels really good.

I told a coworker at the time about the assignment and she laughed and told me about her daughter. They had these really old dining room chairs with carved legs. The chairs had smooth wood bulbs going up them that the kid loved to rub on.

Her mom didn’t want to dissuade her or make her ashamed but she also needed to establish that masturbation should always be private. So she talked to her daughter and explained that she could do that but must do it in her room alone.

The result of which was that everyone was aware the girl was going to masturbate when she dragged the chair into her room to be alone with it.

My friends was my favorite though, because his discovery was in stages. He liked it when his penis would get hard as a kid because it meant he could grab it and pretend to be flying a helicopter. His aha moment was when this happened once in the shower and the grabbing plus soap made him realize something else might be going on.

That was funny on its own, but nothing could match when in the most betrayed tone he said, “It was so much more fun then, before stuff came out at the end.”

when dandadan said the children are our future and we as adults should protect them with our lives if it comes down to it, and when dandadan compared the exploitation of the gig economy to assault in that it denies one of their personhood and autonomy, and when dandadan said we owe it to the most marginalized to see and remember them when society fails them, and when dandadan said violence begets violence and therefore it is brave and just to choose kindness even when it’s hard, and when dandadan said the pressure and expectations we place on children are unfair and have lasting impacts on them, and when dandadan said the world is a rotten place and it’s for that exact reason that you have to choose to help others and try to make it better, and when dandadan said it is possible to forgive those who have hurt you because people are complicated and deeply flawed, and only through doing so can you move forward, and when da—

Prompt 318

Danny is learning how to shapeshift. It’s fun, really, and he honestly thinks it’s more than a little cool. Plus it’s not a learn or you fully die sort of thing, which is pretty cool too. He just erm, might’ve also made a mistake. A little oopsie. An uh-oh. 

Erm. So. Apparently stuff stays when you go from ghost to human form. Just erm. More… permanent? Look he panicked, okay! And it wouldn’t have been that bad if not for the fact erm… his friends might’ve done it too…? 

Okay, okay, this is fine erm. Oh hi Mom, Dad I- O-oh yeah! D-definitely! Psst, Tucker, what’s a meta…? Oh. Okay yeah- wait can they use this to avoid the GIW thing? They definitely could, right? Like they definitely can- Sam we need the corkboard!

Er. And inform their parents too… even if it’s more than a little obvious. Maybe they shouldn’t have been trying to mix and match…

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)
