When Apophis showed up the first time I was like "that's WILDE the REAL Apophis doesn't CARE he would never take that RISK he's HIDING" and now that what I'm thinking is the real one has showed up I'm feel very grumpy about having been wrong.

My Takes on the Miraculous MC Ships because Why Not

More specifically the big ones. Not stuff like Marirose or Marikim.

Adrienette/The Love Square as a whole: I've already done a post on each facet of the Love Square but I'm adding on this: I think no matter which way you slice it, Adrienette is a doomed relationship and the best case scenario is for them to break up asap. They're made for eachother in that if they get married the it will unleash the Chaos Heart and consequently create the Void to end all realities.

Alyanette: Had an incredible amount of potential back in season 1! Based on Dark Cupid I'm pretty sure Alya was crushing on Marinette, and I could see it working out. The two match eachother's freaks. Alya is literally the Lois Lane to Marinette's Superman, and it could be great.

Adrino: For whatever reason I can't see it. I can see both Adrien and Nino dating men, but I guess my brain's hooked on the two being just friends.

Ninette: I can see this, however. I'm not sure if Marinette and Nino being childhood friends is something the fandom made up or canon but I can see it and adore it. I love a good childhood friend romance.

Chlodrien: Chloe's a lesbian dating Sabrina, even if she doesn't know it yet.

Chloenette: Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe's targeting of Marinette was a crush she has yet to compartmentalize. I doubt it would happen, though.

Liladrien: Nah, Adrien's been through enough.

Lilanette: This seems completely impossible, but I have a specific idea for it that's super-toxic yuri. Lila somehow manages to succeed in isolating Marinette from her friends, and then shifts gears to fuck with Marinette's psyche by intentionally getting exposed and "bonding" with Marinette, isolating her from her classmates even more. I feel like this will inevitably end in Marinette dying, though.

Lukanette: Oh baby we've reached the romantic rivals! Two of my favorite characters. They're so cool! But yeah. Lukanette. Marinette hooks up with someone she isn't obsessed with to a stalkerish degree. He'd act as a grounding anchor to her, too. Marinette could be anxiety spiraling and Luka would just play a few chords to set her back in the real world. He's dreamy, he's kindhearted, he's understanding, he's patient, he plays guitar, he dances, he has a sense of humor, he's got daddy issues, you get Juleka as a sister-in-law, what's not to love? That he ain't in a perfume ad? That he didn't hand you an umbrella when it was raining? Marinette fumbled the perfect boy. What the fuck.

Adrigami: Kagami, my beloved. Adrigami too, my beloved. I'm not at Tomoe levels of hyping up this ship, but it's still great. The difference between Kagami and Marinette, Lila, and Chloe is that Kagami loves Adrien for who he is. She doesn't love Adrien as a popular model or status symbol, but as a human being. The "get to know Adrien" scene in the breakup episode was evidence of it. Yes, she was a little forceful but I don't think Adrien Agreste or Chat Noir are who Adrien really is. If Adrien figured out who he truly is, he'd trans her gender. And Kagami would be there for her. She's bi, she's happy to see the true Adrien, it would be yuri. Now if Adrien could just realize Kagami's has all the girlbossing skills of Ladybug but actually loves him, grumblegrumble.

Zoenette: Unfortunately doesn't have much going for me. I think the issue is that I still don't feel like I know Zoe like I know the other characters. It always feels like not even she knows her identity. I know she likes acting and hid her personality from others, but that's about it. Maybe it would be like Marinette helping Zoe figure out her identity but Marinette already has enough on her plate.

Felinette: I can't see this either aside from an alternate timeline where Felix gets the black cat instead of Adrien. And even then it would be unhealthy as hell based on what we've seen of Felix. The Donatello Versus of Miraculous.

Lukadrien: Oh baby we are so fucking back Ahem. Out of all the big MC ships, Lukadrien's definitely my favorite. I used to be a staunch supporter of Lukanette and Adrigami primarily, but the more I thought about it, the more I gravitated towards the gay variants. It came to me when I was analyzing Luka's character and adding depth where it might not be there and I ended up coming to the conclusion that Luka and Adrien have a lot in common to bond over. They're both kindhearted, but also depressed at least partly from their deadbeat dad. With the two of them dating, they both get the companionship they desperately need. Plus Adrien can be part of Kitty Section as he should! And there's parallels to Julerose, the best ship in Miraculous! Not to mention when Adrien comes out as trans Luka will definitely be there for her! Luka uses any pronouns. When you have the psychic ability to hear people's inner songs, gender doesn't matter much. This too, is yuri.

Marigami: The counterpart to Lukadrien, and I'll admit I didn't see it at first. I know Kagami and Marinette have feelings for eachother, even if Mari doesn't realize it, but what makes it so peak, Bethany? It dawned on me eventually that Marigami is like Alyanette but I like it even more. Kagami matches Marinette's freak, as well as an anchor for Marinette's anxiety, plus I feel Kagami would push Marinette to be better than Alya does. I love Alya but she can be an enabler for Marinette's bad actions at points.

Lukadrienette: We've reached the polycules, ladies, gentlemen, and the Third Party. And it's amazing. Who knew all you had to do to get me into canon Adrienette is throw someone else in there? Luka anchor's Marinette's anxiety and cools her before she can do anything reckless, as well as being there for Adrien, and he gets two people that love him in return! My only concern is what happens to Kagami? Who will she find love with?

Adrigaminette: The foil to Adrigaminette. All three of them are in love with eachother (well, if Adrien discovers Marinette is Ladybug or we're in the reversal or something.) Kagami and Adrien gain companionship while Marinette gets someone to anchor and better her. Although like with Lukadrienette, I have to wonder what Luka's doing. I came to the conclusion that he's severely depressed, does he have someone of his own? Or at least a good friend group?

Lukadrigaminette: And finally, the big one. All four of them are here. It's got the benefits of Lukadrienette and Adrigaminette together. Plus, even if Luka or Kagami alone can't prevent Adrien and Marinette from getting toxic and causing the apocalypse, maybe they can do it together! It's my favorite out of all these ships! The only issue I have is that I can't really see the Lukagami portion working out, but who knows? Maybe they can charm eachother as well.

And Buck getting jealous of Eddie and his pals and their hang outs and Eddie rolling his eyes like “ok then babe you need to come WITH ME when I INVITE YOU” because he literally always invites Buck cause he wants Buck there lmao and Buck is like “grumblegrumble fine whatever” and goes to the hangout and then makes Eddie sit in the quiet of their home with Bucks head on his lap watching true crime documentaries for the next two days straight to decompress Eddie loves it

okay well see I partially agree, because I do think buck would be like 👉👈 but I miss you 🥺 SOMETIMES but on the other hand I also think a lot of the time he's like yes. please. go. get out of the house. because he's lived alone for yeeeeears and wow he really really misses those long afternoons of doing absolutely nothing and being perceived by absolutely no one. like he does occasionally (often) kick Eddie out of the house for 3-5 hours and closes all the blinds and exists in his private personal little bubble of space. and he doesn't generally act like a freak about Eddie having friends (the tommy situation was specific imo to his weird insane jealousy/confusion/general misplaced horniness etc) but he DOES also definitely love to like you said, drag Eddie into his bubble sometimes and lay on the couch with him and there's like a banana bread scented candle burning on the entryway table and they're watching Station 19 and he is out loud critiquing the realism of the firefighting and Eddie is just like 😌 wow. life is great ✨

Video game concept idea:

A magical girl management sim where you play as the powers-granting talking animal mascot, trying to shepherd your charges through various missions so they’re ready to face the Big Bad.

I know nothing about game design but I’m charmed by the idea.

I’m picturing Fire Emblem style combat interspersed with downtime to do social stuff to try to jiggle their stats and relationship meters. Possibly with some sort of roguelike time loop and meta progression? Actually that’s very Fire Emblem too, isn’t it. I’m just a sucker for turn-based tactics on a pixelated grid. If only FE titles weren’t locked away on Nintendo hardware, grumblegrumble.

Got a couple more Astarion scenes yesterday while I was playing:

Propositioning Panic, who finally has understood that it's teasing and playing time, and actively participates. Does try to give Astarion an out and he responds with no no no I *want* to, which is interesting for character development reasons. Got the "what if I said I love you" "you'd be lying" because Panic absolutely knows that's not true and Astarion to his credit gleefully admits that yes this isn't *love* (but also he doesn't outright say it's *just sex* either, and afterwards they refer to each other with hideously sugary wording, and he's finally stopped being a prickly sourpuss when I speak to him because his approval rating is high end of good instead of low end of neutral FINALLY)

Now when I click Astarion to start a conversation, Panic says some gross fluffy thing like "first in my heart" which I suppose means my big himbo of a tiefling has fallen in love even of he knows the object of his desires is not quite there yet. Astarion is still distant but the furrowed brow and closed off expression are gone. His tone is warmer and he leans in when talking to Panic rather than slightly turned away like he's making sure he can literally flee from the conversation if things go sour.

Also the dice gods are being nicer to me

Mercenaries: we'll sell you our kidnapped slave if you pay up

Panic: I pay for slaves exclusively in knuckle sandwiches delivered directly to their captors

Mercenaries: o-okay nvm u scary

Everyone except Astarion: good. Asshole.

Panic: babe stop being so bitter about me saving people, I saved that owlbear cub just for you remember

Astarion: grumblegrumble how come you didn't save me 200 years ago then grumblegrumble

Panic: I WASN'T BORN YET OR I WOULD HAVE PUNCHED CAZADOR'S LIGHTS OUT 200 YEARS AGO OK

#8 kissing prompt just screaaaams Aster.

8. Laying a gentle kiss to the back of the other's hand

(Copy paste is being very rude right now! *grumblegrumble*)

It took me a minute, but I figured out what I wanted to do for this one. It's graduation season and that means Professor Aster has at least one fancy grad dinner to go to. Obviously he needs a date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You'd intended to have Aster pick you up at your home to go to the banquet, but of course life got in the way. I'll have to meet you there, you'd texted him, anxiety knotting in your stomach.

Of course. Not a problem. See you then.

Not for the first time, you wished tone could be conveyed in text. Was he disappointed? Was he really okay with it? Your anxiety only built as you dressed (was this fancy enough? too fancy? did your hair look okay? You hadn't had nearly enough time to really get ready...would people notice?) Between that and the traffic getting to the university, and then the crowds there, you were an absolute ball of nerves by the time you got to the banquet hall.

Luckily, Aster was easy to spot, being taller than most of the other guests. That also made it easy for him to spot you and by the time you locked eyes on him, he was already moving toward you. Stars he looked good! The man should wear a tux more often! His gold glasses glinted on his skull and his eye lights twinkled behind them.

"You made it," he said, taking your hand in both of his. "I am so glad." He lifted your hand to his teeth and pressed a gentle tingling kiss to your knuckles.

You stepped forward and hugged him, mostly so your knees wouldn't go out from the sheer romance of that move. "Sorry I was a little late," you managed.

"I told you it's not a problem," he said, his voice gentle and warm. "I would wait far longer than I did to see you looking so beautiful, and to have you here with me."

"I thought your brother was the smooth one," you mumbled, burying your face in his chest to hide your burning blush.

"I may have picked up a few tips from him..." If you'd been able to see his face, you would have seen the bright blush across his own cheekbones. "Shall we go in for dinner?"

*grumblegrumble*

Don't want to go to sleep. Then I have to go back to work. Ugh...it was one of our longer vacations time-wise (especially since I didn't have to do staff training in my new role) but feels so much shorter both because we did something fun for five days and just, well, just the amount of shit I had to deal with in the previous year...

It also helps I'd rather be home playing my game...
