What pokemon do you think the miraculous kids would have? :o

---

Oh, this is a good question! I love thinking about what Pokémon Types would suit different characters the best.

Frankly, I think Marinette’s thing would really be Pokémon Contests, which would mean that she wouldn’t be too likely to settle on a single Type. She definitely would have the required planning and dedication required to obtain her own Feebas and evolve it to Milotic to function as the star of her Contest team. My experience says Rapidash is also an excellent Contest Pokémon for Beauty Category Contests.

If Marinette was a battle trainer, though, she’d be obsessed with finding a Type/Pokémon with no weaknesses. So she’d have stuff like Spiritomb, Dragapult, Aggron or Aegislash. The thing about Marinette is that, even as a gym leader, she’d try to minmax her team to try to remove any weaknesses, so expect weird stuff like Fire Types with Grass Knot to take out Water Types. The type she’s most likely to specialize in is Steel Types, I think, due to their absolutely absurd amount of resistances. Once again, we come to Aggron or Aegislash as possible Pokémon for her. I also see Mawile, Empoleon or Lucario suiting her. The Lucario would have started as a Riolu, and would be the Tikki equivalent.

Adrien is so very, very likely to gravitate towards Dark Types due to how they often get misunderstood as evil omens. I absolutely see him having an Absol and an Incineroar, the two go-to misunderstood Dark Types. A Zorua or Zoroark would also be thematically a perfect match for him, due to his own ability to change himself to try to please those around him. The Impidimp line would also suit him, because Adrien likes little imps (in a Pokémon setting, I’d see Plagg as an Impidimp rather than a cat Pokémon). He would have very likely started with an Eevee he then lovingly raised into an Umbreon.

Alya is a seeker of truth and she loves discovering new knowledge, so I see her with Psychic Type Pokémon that are associated with knowledge and intelligence, like Alakazam, Orbeetle and Musharna. The Musharna would be the Trixx, since it has the ability to create illusions. I would also give her a Starmie due to its ability to emit radio waves (haha, Lady Wifi reference). Alya also gets an Exeggutor because its theme is “getting along with your siblings”, but we’ll break the pattern a bit and give her the Alolan Exeggutor, because I have other plans for the regular one.

Nino is the character most likely to remain calm in any situation, and the Psychic Type has a move literally called Calm Mind, so he’s another one I’d match with the Psychic Type. He’d have both a Gardevoir and a Gallade to work in tandem to match his balanced but protective personality. In addition he’d have the skateboard buddy Pokémon Alolan Raichu. I also see Nino with a Slowpoke/Slowbro due to his transformation from an unmotivated person to someone who really wants to help others, which is something the Slowbro transformation does for Slowpoke too. Nino also gets the regular Exeggutor for the “getting along with your siblings” theming. Slowbro would be the Wayzz equivalent.

Chloé gets Steel Types like Marinette for those parallels. The Steel Type comes with some really fitting picks, like the Pawniard line that goes with her obsession over status, and Tinkatink, whose hammer keeps getting bigger like the writers keep hammering the point about Chloé. Chloé’s partner Pokémon is Togedemaru, who’s cute but prickly and gets into territory disputes over electricity. It’s perfect for the Pollen equivalent. I’d also give her a Copperajah because that Pokémon treats looks as a reason to boast. Meowth is a good match for that Pokémon's association with wealth, though, I’d pick specifically the Galarian variant both for the typing and its more aggressive temperament.

Kagami gets Dragon Types, not because of her Miraculous, but because Dragon Type trainers are often really classy and rather prideful, much like Kagami herself. There’s a kind of legacy factor to how many Dragon Type users present themselves, using Dragon Types is basically the Pokémon equivalent of the family trade. Much like with her fencing legacy, Kagami would train Dragon Types with dedication and she’d be incredibly good at it and proud of her accomplishments. A Kommo-o is my number one pick for all of these reasons, since it’s a Dragon/Fighting Type. Garchomp is another strong pick. Salamence and Dragapult are the perfect fit color scheme-wise, while Haxorus is a very classic Dragon. Kommo-o would be the Longg equivalent.

Luka is well matched with Normal Types, because the Normal Type is usually matched with people who have their life figured out, or people who are into cute things. Both of these descriptions are pretty apt for Luka. For the party makeup, a Loudred would be great for its resemblance to an amp. An Ambipom would be fun because it looks like the Pokémon most likely to be able to play an instrument. The Jigglypuff line is great for its pronounced cuteness and connection with the Sing move. I’d love to give him a Drampa for how helpful he is a person, and I think a Drampa would fit the Sass role. An Obstagoon would also be a fun pick, because it’s the punk rock Pokémon and Luka’s style is rather Punk Rock.

Rose would have Fairy Types because this girl has an aesthetic and she’s committed to it. Clefairy is definitely a given, it’s the go-to Fairy Type Pokémon and would serve as Daizzi’s equivalent. Granbull is also a good pick to match her hobby as a member of a punk band. Considering the lyrics of the song she sings in the band, Galarian Rapidash is another way too fitting pick. A Mawile isn’t quite her style but would suit how she’s also not all she seems, how she’s tougher than she looks. The final member of her team would be a Mimikyu because I’m giving Juleka Ghost Types and a Mimikyu is a fun Pokémon to share between the two.

Speaking of Juleka and Ghost Types, the match is obvious; Juleka loves creepy things, so creepy Pokémon would be perfect for her. As I stated in Rose’s segment, Juleka would have a Mimikyu. Mismagius would suit her aesthetic the best, with Sableye being another good aesthetic pick. Sableye would also be good for the Roarr role. Gourgeist would be a fun pick with their similar hairstyles, while Sandygast would be a fun pick for the environmental horror it represents.

For Alix, I’d pick the fiery Fire Type because it works both for her own spunky attitude as well as design-wise. She also has an attitude well-suited for a Fighting Type trainer, so we’ll split the difference with one of my favorite Fire-Fighters, Blaziken. She would also have a Cinderace, because I still remember that interview about Scorbunny’s sporty personality type and that’s just perfect. It would also be a good stand-in for Fluff. I’d also give her a Coalossal because it’s huge but peaceful, so it’s the perfect balance to Alix, who’s small but spunky. Considering her role as the last resort Miraculous user, a Volcarona would also be a good match for her, since Volcarona’s mythology is that it can serve as a substitute sun during extremely cold conditions, a type of savior. Lastly, she’d have a Charizard, because of course she would.

Max would have a Rotom, because Rotom Dex reminds me a bit of Markov in how it looks. Electrode and Magneton are really iconic device Pokémon, so those are good picks for him too and a stoic Magneton would also be haughty enough to fit the Kaalki role. A Heliosk would be a good pick for its compatibility with machines, since it can generate usable electricity. I’d also like to give him a Dracozolt or Artozolt for that “what has science wrought?” factor. Pawmot would be a fitting fighter gamer-like Pokémon for him to have due to its Fighting Typing.

Kim would have Fighting Types. He’s a meathead whose interests include dares and all forms of physical exercise. He’d definitely prefer Pokémon that can keep up with him. He’d have a Hitmon, and I’m tempted to pick Hitmontop for how insane the stat balancing is to get one, which would show off his dedication to his training. He’d also have a Pangoro, which would signify his tendency of falling in with the wrong crowd earlier in the series. Riolu, in turn, would show off his hidden depths of kindness, and Riolu evolving into Lucario would coincide with his development into a kinder person. This duality of his character is also why Scrafty suits him, since it’s a ruffian who’s also protective of its friends and territory. This temperamental Pokémon would also serve as Xuppu. Heracross is the beetle fighting Pokémon, it’s a Pokémon directly tied into a hobby, so it’s a fun pick for Kim.

A fun fact about Ivan: before Luka’s introduction, he was the show’s go-to music guy. He tried to sing his love confession to Mylène. So we need a music-themed Pokémon with the Type to match Ivan. It’s actually the Grass Type that has a lot of music-themed Pokémon, so stuff like Ludicolo, Rillaboom and Maractus would be great. You have big and strong-looking Pokémon and cute Pokémon, since I do also think Ivan would like cute things (like Mylène). I think his team would also fit stuff like Abomasnow, Whimsicott and Dhelmise, with Dhelmise’s surprising strength being the Stompp equivalent.

Mylène is easy: the cutest, tiniest stuff you can find, with something big and scary that’s actually a huge sweetheart. Mylène is also the type to raise Pokémon from an egg/baby, so picking a type with a lot of baby Pokémon makes sense, which is Fairy Type. So, Mylène will have raised a Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Azurill and Mime Jr. from a baby, with Granbull as the Ivan reference and a Tinkaton as a reference to her own surprising strength.

Nathaniel is a bit on the harder side, since the only real artist Pokémon for the longest time was Smeargle, so I guess we’ll just build a team around Smeargle, aka Normal Types. Snorlax or Ursaring is a go-to tough-looking Normal Type that Nathaniel would pick in order to get taken more seriously as a trainer. A Furfrou might be fun for him to style, along with Cinccino. Finally, Dubwool would be a good reference to Ziggy because of the color scheme.

I’d give Sabrina a Type that compliments Chloé’s steel, due to her basing so much of herself around supporting Chloé. As such, Water and Ground Types would work best to cover the weaknesses of the team I gave to Chloé. I decided to go with Water Type, due to there being some thematically appropriate Pokémon in that Type. Seismitoad is likely to be her ace, due to the powerful dual typing it shares. It’s also extra appropriate cause it kinda looks like it’s wearing a police uniform like her dad. Another thematic pick is Simipour, which is modeled after one of the three wise monkeys, who guide someone on a path to avoiding evil thoughts and deeds. The opposite of this would be a Crawdaunt, who’s a bit of a bully Pokémon, and Sharpedo, who is literally called “The Bully of the Sea”. A Wimpod that evolves into Golisopod, meanwhile, would be a good match for her path of self-discovery and finding her own worth outside of Chloé.

It was hard to settle on a main type for Lila, since I feel she’s too duplicitous to make herself predictable like that. However, she’s also kinda lazy, so she’d go for the easiest options. As such Malamar would suit, as it’s a common Pokémon abused for nefarious deeds. However, considering the effort needed to evolve one, she’d most likely have stolen it instead of training it herself from an Inkay. Both of Malamar’s Types also make sense with Lila’s character, the Dark Type matched Gabriel, who she’s modeling herself after, and Adrien, whose “dark mirror” she appeared to be in her first appearances, while the Psychic Type matched Alya, who many fans noticed parallels with. Then I remembered that Lila has been connected to scorpions on this blog before and thought: “which Type has more dual types with Poison?” and so Dark Type it was. Of course, she gets Drapion, the big mean scorpion in the flesh, but I’ll also match her with an Alolan Muk that she uses to wow people with stories about her “travels”. I also want to give her Scrafty and Houndoom for type coverage against Marinette’s Steel Types, symbolizing how Marinette doesn’t really know how to match Lila in many situations. A Zorua or a Zoroark would be a good a good addition too, to keep the illusion/fox allusions with her character.

I also had a lot of ideas for Gabriel, even though he isn’t a kid, so I'll cover him too. Gabriel would have a Hydreigon, because I associate that Pokémon with absolute scum of the earth abusive dads. He’s very likely to utilize Dark Types in general because he’s an edgelord who calls out “Dark Wings Rise,” as his super transformation tagline. Said Hydreigon would be his ace and it would have a maximum powered Frustration Move, and it would be the Nooroo. Other Pokémon to accompany his Hydreigon ace could include Houndoom (a literal attack dog to match his attack dog parenting), an Obstagoon (because he’s such an obstruction, am I right?) and Morpeko for its two-facedness. A Drapion would also suit his team, due to its intimidating nature, though a Honchkrow would also suit in this role.

Another possible Type for Gabriel to specialize in is Dragons, due to their perceived power and prestige, but I attached those to the Tsurugis and, while I don’t mind the more numerous heroes overlapping, the few villains should have more variety.

noodles your ask box doesn't like me it won't let me copy-paste 500 words (it kept cutting me off at like 100 or something?!) so for the director's cut ask game i will simply say any 500 words from "wax lips to wax lips" will do

picking the most unhinged section possible:

“The wax is nearly as hot as skin,” Marinette continues, oblivious to Adrien’s impending cardiac event. And then she… sniffs his neck? Adrien struggles to stop himself from cringing. While he knows his skin is flawlessly smooth and will hold up to close inspection, he is pretty self-conscious about his smell, thanks to Plagg’s Camembert habit. “It even smells exactly like him...!” Well, at least she doesn’t sound disgusted? Maybe the Camembert scent isn’t as strong as he feared. Or Marinette really likes the smell of Camembert, which would be weird, because Marinette smells way better than any cheese. Not that he spends a lot of time smelling Marinette! But, well, she’d been standing close when she caressed his cheek, and he may have… noticed the way she smells like fresh-baked bread and something sweetly floral. She starts moving again, and he quickly schools his face back into his model-stare—an expression that gets harder to maintain as she begins monologuing.  “Oh, beautiful statue of Adrien, your wax is so soft! ” she dramatizes, gesturing boldly as she speaks. Once again, her fingers stroke his cheek, and Adrien wonders if the goosebumps on his skin will give him away.  “Your yak hair is silky, ” she continues, and this time he can’t stop his eye from twinging at the sharp, sudden pain at his scalp. Did she just… pluck his hair out with her fingers? It occurs to him that pretending to be a wax statue may have been a flawed plan. But he’s committed to it, and it’s too late to back out now. Hopefully she doesn’t take any more hair. His father would probably start charging her.

because of course the biggest challenge of writing this fic is how to include marinette literally plucking out adrien's hair as part of what shifted his feelings towards her.

but the thing about embarassing yourself is that most of the time, people are more worried about what they themselves are doing than what you're doing. marinette sniffs him? well, adrien's not thinking about how weird that is, because he's worried about whether he smells bad.

marinette plucks out his hair? okay, kinda painful, but adrien's used to parts of his body being commodified. after all, they're at the wax museum because someone stole wax adrien's whole arm, so really, he's probably just grateful marinette didn't want any limbs 😂

thanks for the ask!!

What is your opinion about the ending of Miraculous?

(I'm using this ask as my chance to talk about both episodes as a whole, not just the ending-- spoilers ahead!)

My thoughts on these two episodes are mixed, but positive overall. :)

Over all, I enjoyed the episodes. It was fun, the action and animation were great, and there are parts that I really really loved that are being adopted into all my kwami headcanons right now and no one can stop me. I was worried with how the season would end based off of some things I heard, and was prepared for the worst-- but these were enjoyable episodes to watch.

However I will not lie that I am not happy with how some characters were handled. I'm sorry but I will never be happy with Gabriel being seen as a hero, and the fact that Adrien wasn't there or even told what happened?? Gabriel getting a statue?? Gabriel acting like he cared about Adrien when he clearly didn't?? No... just no, its not right or fair. I could go on about this all day, but I won't as there's a lot to say about these episodes.

Adrien not getting a role in this finale I am mad at. Him being left in the dark about what happened I'm also not happy with, HOWEVER... seeing Marinette's age, mindset, and everything she's been through... I don't feel that her actions were out of character. I can see a young teenager under pressure wanting to protect the one she loves from a horrible reality. I'm not saying her keeping the truth from him is right, but I can see how it fits into the narrative. As long as the fact that this lie was told is addressed in the future (and the weight it will no doubt put on Adrien) and not just brushed aside, then I won't get up in arms about this scene yet, and I will wait to see how its handled in the future.

Last small little tiny thing is Felix. Like... it feels out of character for him to just be like "yeah hero team!" and for the hero team to be like "yeah Felix!" Feel like more should have been addressed on Felix's character as a whole.

Okay-- enough about the negative-- onto all the awesome parts about these episodes! :D

First of all-- hero team!! Full time holders!! Saved kwamis (I'm so sorry Nooroo that you're still out there you deserve so much better!!) I love it, this is what we needed, and I hope the identity rules ease up among the heroes after this.

Next Nathalie. Oh Nathalie, the queen, amazing-- 11/10 this episode. She full on goes in dying and is ready to shoot Gabriel with a crossbow?? Like girl, you're amazing!! I'm glad to see that she is better now, she deserves it. Anyways I love her.

Adrien getting his amok-- yes, finally.

Marinette's Ladybug and Black Cat unification was a lot of fun. Its too bad the name Lady Noire was already taken, but I loved this whole fight. A piano being dropped on Gabriel's head, Gabriel's reaction to Marinette being Ladybug. Marinette beating Gabriel and just summoning all the Luck Charms... she was a boss. I loved the checkmate scene. I love how she did try to reach out to Gabriel (not that he deserves a second chance but Marinette is just a sweetheart). I loved Gabriel's betrayal to her with a Vemon because it was his last in character moment, I loved that we got to see all the other characters in action. The classmates, Fei and the New York heroes. All great scenes.

Now finally onto the gold of these episodes: THE KWAMIS. Hehehehe they were amazing, they were beautiful. Yes give me all their true forms, give me Gimmi (hehe) they look SO cool and epic. I originally thought I wouldn't like a true-form kwami or a fusion form of them but never mind they're glorious they are my children we need true forms for all the kwamis look at how powerful they are!!

And how the Wish works... I never really liked the whole "destroy the universe and create a new one" idea they had going on in other episodes, and I'm so glad they went with an equal price. And maybe destroy and remake the universe still has a role in it all but give me the green strawberries as a price. The whole Wish scene with how it works and the true form of the kwamis was fantastic and I love it so much.

How about a bad Cinderella miraculous au if you want?

… I think I’ll treat myself to some DJWiFi

Act 1

The town of Paris, France, full of conventionally attractive inhabitants, prepares to be awarded "Most Attractive Town" for the 50th year

The Queen's beloved, flawless, firstborn daughter, Princess Nora, has died in battle against a dragon, leaving her with her younger sister, Princess Alya, who’s shy and nerdy in contrast

The Queen builds a memorial statue in honor of Nora and the 50th year, but at the award ceremony, when the statue is unveiled, the town gasps when they see it has been vandalised

This causes Paris to lose their winning streak, and the townspeople blame the local misfit, Nino, the rebellious, loud-mouthed stepson of Lord Agreste

After a chase around town, they tie him to a tree in the woods in the middle of the forest, where he’s found and untied by his childhood friend, Princess Alya, who teases him for once again getting tied to a tree

They catch up and rant about their daily lives, Nino with his step-family and Alya with her royal duties and being heir to the throne. After Nino leaves, Alya fantasizes about being with him

At “home,” Nino’s stepbrothers, Adrien and Félix are having another one of their usual fights, which Gabriel blames on Nino for no reason other than that he’s just standing there. He once again threatens to kick him out of the house if he causes more trouble

He doesn’t even listen to his own sons when they tell him that Nino had nothing to do with it

Meanwhile, Alya is practicing and failing at sword fighting, ignoring the instructor and other members of the court once again comparing her to Nora. Before she can try again, the Queen enters the room with some news

Queen Marlena: Alya, we most save the kingdom’s reputation after the stunt that gutter boy pulled.

Alya: Don’t call him that. And what do you even suggest?

Queen Marlena: Oh, must I come up with everything? Now your sister, she could come up with ten ideas in under a minute!

Alya: Goodbye. *Leaves the room*

To save the town's reputation, a Royal Ball will be held on Saturday. Every boy from the kingdom is invited, and Alya will choose a husband

Every time Alya throws in an objection, she’s met with her mother once again comparing her to Nora

Still angry, Alya storms out of the palace and sneaks off into the town square to confront Nino and blame him for the upcoming royal wedding. They argue some, but eventually, Alya asks him to at least come to the ball before running off

At the Palace, Gabriel visits the Queen, and they recall their youth and Gabriel subtly brings up blackmail, reminding the Queen of how “rambunctious” she was. To keep this from getting out, he suggests that Alya marry one of his sons, and the Queen reluctantly agrees

Soon everyone in Paris is on a shopping spree in the town square to prepare for the Ball

With each passing day, Alya gains popularity with the local boys who each flirt with her, but she brushes each of them off and goes toward Nino, asking that he attend the ball, only for Gabriel to cut in and loudly commend the Princess for inviting the gutter boy out of pity because of his dull looks, earning some laughter and causing Nino to run off in embarrassment

Later at the manor, Gabriel, Adrien, and Félix prepare for the ball while Nino angrily assists them, occasionally pricking Gabriel with a needle

When they leave, Nino, determined to go to the Ball and show everyone up, visits Godmother, a popular plastic surgery spot where head surgeon, Cosette Bellamy and her team of beauticians have made the townsfolk look perfect

In exchange for Nino’s necklace, gifted to him by his mothers before their passing, Cosette provides a temporary cosmetic makeover, complete with a beautiful suit and a pair of crystal shoes. She warns Nino that the pain from the cosmetics will be bearable only until midnight

Act 2

At the ball, Alya finds herself being flocked by dozens of guys vying for her attention, and is annoyed with each one. They either want her for her looks or her status. The others are more…

Kim: Look, you seem great, and a hottie to boot, but I’m kind of into someone else and let me tell you, she is gorgeous. Not that you’re not gorgeous, though.

—

Ivan: I’m just doing this to get my uncle off my back. No hard feelings, but I have feelings for this other girl.

—

Max: I find you attractive, but that’s merely science talking. You have a perfectly symmetrical face and your eyes are nicely spaced which I admire, but prefer on guys. I’m gay if you couldn’t tell.

—

Nathaniel: Could you point me in the direction of that cute guy with the messy black hair? I can’t seem to find him.

—

Marc: Did a cute redhead pass by here?

—

Alya is annoyed by her suitors and is anxious, as she must choose a bride by midnight. Just then, Nino arrives, magnificent but unrecognised

Queen Marlena forces Alya to dance with him, and Alya reluctantly does so, making it clear to him that she doesn’t want to do this. Nino is put off by her behavior, not realizing that Alya doesn’t know it’s her, and confesses that he is in love with her, but Alya rebuffs him

Adrien and Félix soon recognize Nino under all of the cosmetics, but don’t intervene. Although, Félix is tempted when he notices Nino looking uncomfortable in his tight shoes

When Alya snaps at Nino, comparing him to the other “braindead” guys here at the ball, he storms off in a huff, and Gabriel seizes the moment to push Adrien toward Alya, making them accidentally kiss in front of everyone at the stroke of midnight, and Queen Marlena declares him as Alya’s new husband

When the cosmetics begin to feel painful and Nino rubs it off of his face, Alya recognizes and runs after him, but he dismisses her

Nino: Don’t fucking touch me!

Alya: I didn’t know it was you! You need to believe me- you just look so different, and-

Nino: Stop! Whatever we had, it’s over. It’s done, and I never want to see you again!

Alya, in anguish over hurting Nino, shoves her feelings aside and reluctantly accepts her fate

Later at the manor, Gabriel gloats over Adrien’s engagement as they prepare for the wedding whenever Nino is in earshot. He mocks Nino for failing to see that Alya loved him, and Nino finally snaps, striking Gabriel across the face with no remorse before storming up to his room to pack and leave Paris

However, Félix makes his way in and encourages him to stop the wedding, letting him know that he and Adrien are both on his side

At the wedding, everything is going smoothly. Gabriel is reveling in the fact that he will soon become royalty while Adrien and Alya are both in ready uncomfortable and unhappy. When the preacher asks for objections, the doors swing open, revealing none other than-

Marc: It’s Princess Nora!

Juleka: I LOVE YOU, NORA!

Nora: Love you, too, rando.

After recounting her adventures, she admits that she only arrived at the wedding to save Alya. To prevent her own arranged marriage, she faked her death and has returned to marry the love of her life.

She comes out as gay and introduces her fiancé, Princess Vivica

Gabriel is devastated as his plan unravels, but the Queen is overjoyed, since this marriage will return Paris to splendour, and everyone in Belleville cheers for the new Queens

As the wedding bells ring out, Nino hears the bells from a distance and thinks that Alya is married. Heartbroken, he returns home to resume packing and heads out of Paris

At the Palace, Queen Nora and her new wife celebrate a lavish wedding reception, but Alya is miserable.

Adrien and Félix approach and tells her about Nino’s plan to stop her wedding

Félix: It was whole thing. He was gonna show up on a white horse and whisk you away.

Adrien: No, he wasn’t.

Félix: Hush, I’m setting a scene.

Alyaa decides to go after Nino, and leaves the party

Gabriel, meanwhile, accuses the Queen of breaching their deal, but Queen Marlena threatens to execute Gabriel for attempting to blackmail royalty, and throws him out of the Palace in front of everyone, leaving his reputation in shambles

As she’s leaving the palace, Alya comes across Cosette, who’s wearing Nino’s necklace. They willfully hand it to her and tell her to hurry

Alya arrives at the manor, only to find only his crystal shoes and is devastated, thinking she’s too late. To her relief, Nino returns for the slippers… to sell them

Alya returns his necklace and tells him what happened and how sorry she is for snapping at him at the ball, and Nino apologizes for the insults he said to her at the ball

Tired of waiting, Alya kisses him, and Nino kisses her back. Rather than letting him run away, Alya invites him to Nora and Vivica’s wedding party as her date, and Nino agrees. The two walk hand-in-hand and share another kiss

[p96822]

It was a beautiful day in Amity Park, and Danny Fenton was rushing to get to class. But, unfortunately, he faced off seven ghosts last night, and he overslept.

"Finally..." He muttered in a tired tone.

When he made it to the school, he burst open the doors and raced to his classroom, only to bump into his Bully, Dash Baxter.

"Fenturd!" He gave a grin at his favorite target.

Danny groaned.

'I should have let that giant snake ghost eat me... ' He thought.

Dash grabbed him by the collar and shoved him into a random locker.

"Oh, come on! I'm already late as it is!" Danny complained as he was about to use his powers to get out of the locker.

Before Danny could phase himself out of the locket, someone had opened it. It was Valerie.

"Val?" Danny was surprised to see her this early.

"Dash shoved you into a locker again, didn't he?" Valarie asked.

"Yeah, and I'm getting sick and tired of him doing that, like a rerun of an unfunny sitcom," Danny said.

"He'll get his comeuppance eventually. Just you wait," Valerie assured.

"Knowing how Lancer is, that won't be until graduation..." Danny grumbled before sighing.

"Yeah, he's pretty bad at his job," Valerie said as she gave him a small smile. "I'll see you later, Danny..."

She says as she left, Danny raced off to get to class.

However, he was late when he made it to the classroom."Later again, eh, Mr. Fenton?" Mr. Lancer said as he gave him a detention slip.

"Oh great, another detention this week alone." Danny sighed as he took his seat.

Sam and Tucker felt bad for their friend. So they both patted him on the back to make him feel better.

As the class was going on, Mr. Lancer had a big announcement to his students, making them wonder what the big announcement was.

"Students, we have great news that will help you in the future." Lancer started.

You're getting fired?!" One student was heard shouting in the back, angering Lancer.

"Well... it seems Mr. Fenton has company today. I meant we're going to have a new exchange student from Paris..."

The girls beside Sam were squealing and excited to go to the world's fashion capital. Also, some were excited about whether Adrien Agreste would be chosen. Not only was he a model, but he was one of the hottest guys in the world.

"If Adrien is the one that comes here, then I can win his heart and become a model." one girl squealed.

"Even though Adrien is hot, he has nothing on my ghost boy, not that I won't show some compassion," Paulina said sweetly.

Danny facepalmed because he was annoyed by Paulina's crush over his ghost half. At first, he liked it but learned more about how shallow she was. Finally, Danny lost that crush on her and felt annoyed at her putting herself in danger to get close to him.

Some guys were talking about female superheroes that Danny didn't know anything about the French superheroes.

"You don't know who the French superheroes are?" Tucker said, shocked that Danny didn't know about them.

"I was busy dealing with ghosts, so I didn't know about these superheroes from France, Japan, or anywhere else," Danny told Tucker.

"These French superheroes are using magical jewelry that has been used for thousands of years. In addition, they have a new statue with one of the users of the ladybug hero in the museum." Sam explained.

"How do you know this, Sam?" Danny asked.

"I have a book that has information about the jewels, which are called Miraculous," Sam said.

"Take a look at this, Danny. These are the superheroes from in Paris." Tucker showed him a video of the heroes of France on his PDA.

Danny saw all the heroes facing off villains and saving Paris. But, the one that he was looking at the most was Ladybug. His cheeks turn bright pink. He thought Ladybug was cute.

Whoa... she's... cool. That outfit...

"Danny, Danny!" Sam waved her hand in front of him.

"Oh, um?"Danny snapped out of his dazed.

"You were gawking at Ladybug, Danny," Sam glared at him.

"Well, I was only admiring Ladybug, not gawking," Danny said to Sam.

"Yeah, right, and I'm wearing light blue." Sam scoffed.

"The Adventure of Huckfin, everyone calms down!" Lancer said.

The students stopped talking and began to listen to Lancer.

"The student that will be going as the exchange student is Sam Manson," Lancer announced as all the female students complained to him about being chosen.

"Why is goth geek get to go to Paris and not me or Star? I'm the most popular and deserving of going to Paris." Paulina said to their teacher.

"She was chosen and not you, Ms. Sanchez because school drew her name and not yours or Ms. Strong," Lancer explained.

Paulina puffed up her cheeks, and Star didn't say anything about her not being chosen.

"And why do I have to go to France?" Sam asked.

"The school is the one that chose you, Ms. Manson," Lancer answered.

Sam deeply sighed that she was chosen to be going to France instead of being here with her friends.

After class was over, Sam began to complain to Danny and Tucker. She wanted Danny to overshadow the people who chose her for the student exchange program, but Danny didn't know who to overshadow Sam to get her out of the program, so Sam had to go to France.

"Look on the bright side, Sam. At least you don't have to deal with the cheerleader over here. And you don't have to listen to Lancer's dull lessons." Tucker said.

True...

After school was over, Danny, Tucker, and Sam went to Sam's house to pack her things for the student exchange program.

Sam's parents were really going to miss their daughter for the student exchange program in Paris. However, they saw a silver lining to this. She was going to the same school as Adrien, and maybe she could meet him and finally have some better friends than Danny and Tucker.

After Danny and Tucker finished helping, Sam packed her things. Then, the two male best friends left and told Sam they would meet her at the airport tomorrow morning.

Airport

Danny, Tucker, and Sam's parents went to the airport to say goodbye to Sam.

"We'll see you later, Sam. And please give me some of the french girl's number while you are at it," Tucker said, which got him punched in the arm by Sam.

"Be careful with that Hawkmoth guy," Danny warned.

"I will, Danny," Sam said as she left to get on her flight to Paris, France.

THE MIRACULOUS MOVIE WAS SHIT. THEY SPENT ALLL THE BUDGET ON ANIMATION AND FORGOT TO GIVE IT A PLOT. OH MY GOD IT WAS TRASH.

Now I'm being harsh here and I know it, but below are some of the very real reasons why this movie absolutely let me down. (Also is this unfair and am I hating on it? Yes. But I cried bc I couldn't watch it this morning because my dog ate my glasses. We literally paid 400 bucks so I could see this movie today. I wasn't even that upset about the glasses I just wanted to see the movie)

Marinette's VA is LITERALLY A SINGER and they chose to have someone who sounds NOTHING LIKE HER sing instead. It sounded like Olivia Rodrigo and I'm not shitting on her but the voices DO NOT MATCH! the singer for chat was immaculate tho. Much better than the Christmas special.

The storyline was so weird. It felt way too fast paced, also, LADYBUG NEVER USED HER LUCKY CHARM ONCE! they only transformed once on screen, and the cataclysm was only used once. AND THE CATACLYSM WAS WET! IT WAS WET AND BUBBLY! WHAT THE HELL!?

Also they tried to make Gabriel seem like a good father. Adrien forgave him in the end. And he doesn't seem like a sentibeing in this movie. Is it true there's gonna be 2 more movies? How? Everything was wrapped up, and the butterfly is WITH FU so it's not like it'll get lost again.

It was such a cheesy movie, which, while expected, still makes the show look like gold. There was barely any angst, and the angst was SO OVERDONE OH MY GODDD..

One thing I did like though is how they portrayed Chloé. They made her meaner, and even more of a bitch, even presumably coming to actually beat up Marinette (or make Sabrina do it most likely). I loved that because it matches more with pre-show Chloé that we learned of in s5e14.

The animation was beautiful, but again, I think they spent all the money on that and forgot to save any for the writing.

Also, HAWKMOTH CAN'T AKUMATIZE HIMSELF UNLESS HE DETRANSFORMS!

ALSO ALSO

Apparently they got rid of the status quoyo, so the damage legit just stays there? Except the ending, where ladybug earns back restoration powers through love and believing in herself. Not to mention chanting ladybug was ripped out of the s4 finale. So all the REALLY BAD DAMAGE was taken care of, but like, THE NOTRE DAME WAS FUCKING DESTROYED AND IT HAD TO BE FIXED BY HAND!

ALSO also also, no such thing as breaking the akumatized object, hawkmoth just deakumatized them when they failed. Also, why the hell is everyone reading the paper?? Bro it's digital now??

I think I would've liked the songs if they'd had Christina, or at LEAST someone that had ANY SEMBLANCE TO HER VOICE AT ALL.

Overall, 11/10 animation, 0/10 story, 6/10 music

[seas-of-silver]

HAHAHA I'm glad you liked it!!! Oh!

What if, that night, Chat Noir comes to visit her again, thinking that this time he'll be able to convince her for sure, but when he arrives, Marinette cuts him off before he can say anything, being like "why'd you get Adrien in on this?" and he's like "I didn't-" but she continues, not hearing him, saying "Do you have any idea what it's like to have your crush insistently trying to tell you for an hour straight that your beautiful? Huh?"

and he's had a mental record scratch and is like "wait - Adrien Agreste is Buttercup?" because obviously that's the most important piece of information here, and she's like "Yeah! And he was trying to convince me I'm beautiful all lunch! And you put him up to it, didn't you? Chat? ...Chat?"

but he isn't registering anything because his brain is filled with internet dial-up noises. he is just standing there like a statue, with Marinette waving her hand in front of his face and trying to shake him out of his stupor, but nothing works for a good fifteen minutes before he says "I've got to go" and goes home to scream into his pillow and at Plagg about this new discovery and associated confusing romantic feelings, leaving Marinette wondering why Adrien being Buttercup is so clearly horrifying to her superhero partner.

marinette and chat noir having an emotional moment on her balcony because she's feeling really down about her dating life and how everyone around her seems to find it so easy to get into relationships and maybe there's something wrong with her, inherently, that she just doesn't know about. and chat noir cannot STAND to here his very good friend talk like this about herself so he cuts her off and immediately says "do you have any idea how gorgeous you are, marinette?"

for a moment, she doesn't know what to say. there's silence across the balcony.

and then suddenly she bursts into uncontrollable laughter, because "chat it's so weird to hear you say stuff like that to me please never do it again."

he is SO MAD

[its-your-girl-geekerella]

THE MOVIE TRAILER IS OUT.

OH GOSH.

OMIGOSH.

The animation is so cool; Chat's facial expressions are to die for.

We see Master fu in the poster so will he be more than a statue?

Poor Max at the water fountain😂 also, can we talk about the detail in this dude's hair?

Okay, so Marinette is even more of a disaster? I actually don't mind that they exaggerated this; it'll give her even more reason to want to become LB, and I live for this.

Chloe is a bigger bully, and you can see that with just her actions; yes, in the show, she's a big bully, but her bark was always worse than her bite, and when she did do something, it was by using her status and authority. Now we see her actively seeking out Marinette.

Sabrina is freaking BEAUTIFUL. WHY can't we have this in the show???

This transformation sequence is also freaking beautiful.

"Oh, so you do care about me." Okay...? (I was getting major Jack Frost vibes from this) So, from what I see, Chat/Adrien's personality is going to be way different from canon.

The movie seems to be animated in English, which is cool.

I know that we will be getting plenty of Adrienette in the movie, as we've seen in leaks and teasers, but the LADYNOIR IN THIS TRAILER=🥰 DID YOU SEE THAT BALANCING SHOT?!

Ladynoir teamwork; smooth animation, the pound it, they look like the best of partners already and I'm here for it!

Aaaaand the thumbs up 🤣

That's all I have to say about this trailer, as I have nothing for Gabriel. However, this movie looks amazing, and I'm sad they keep pushing back the date!

One more thing: IF THEY TRANSLATE THE WALL BETWEEN US INTO ENGLISH I AM GOING TO BE SO MAD.

Okay, byeeeeee

Scarabée and Kitty Claws AU

Dupli-Cat. The slanderous and smitten Kitten.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alix was on her way to Roller Derby practice at the Flying Wheels Arena roller rink while looking at the news on her phone.

At the Place des Vosges, a statue is about to be revealed.

Alix: It's only been a week since he was re-elected as Mayor of Paris and Mr. Bourgeois has already approved of a statue being built?

Tikki, on her shoulder: Do you think it's a Scarabée and Kitty Claws statue? That would be so excited!

Alix: Considering how we've saved Chloé quite a few times and she's a fan of us, the thought has crossed my mind.

Tikki, looking straight ahead: Aren't those two of your friends up ahead?

Alix, whispering: Shit! Quick Tikki, get in the duffel bag!

Nathaniel with his art bag over his shoulder and Luka walked up to Alix.

Alix: I thought you two would be at the statue reveal by now.

Luka: Everyone's gonna be posting about it when the statue's revealed anyway.

Nathaniel: We are going with you to roller derby practice! The Brutal Beauties need their leader after all.

After a rather quick walk, the three of them made it to the Flying Wheels Arena.

There were only three of the other members of the Brutal Beauties there.

Socqueline Wang, Ondine Fontaine, and Monica Bisset. Who were all in their derby team uniforms.

Monica, running up to Alix: Alix! You're here!! *quickly pulls her into a tight hug*

Alix: Hey Monica. Where's everyone else?

Socqueline: Probably at that soon-to-be statue reveal.

Ondine: Do you the rumors of it being a Scarabée and Kitty Claws statue are true?

Alix: Most likely. Now I'm gonna change into my uniform. Be on the rink by the time I get back.

~~~~~Abit later at Le Grand Paris~~~~~

Chloé and Sabrina were getting ready for the statue reveal when Chloé heard her phone vibrating.

When she picks it up and looks through the notifications, her face erupts into a deep red blush.

Sabrina: Chloé! What wrong?!

Chloé: *quickly gives Sabrina her phone while managing to blush even harder*

Sabrina, looking at the pictures: Oh...

Alix had posted pictures of herself in her roller derby uniform on Instagram.

Sabrina: If it helps... at least you finally got to see how the Brutal Beauties' uniform looks.

Chloé, whining still blushing: While she's there being the Brutal Beauty that she is, I gotta go to this statue reveal with my dad!

Sabrina: If it helps Adrien's gonna be at the statue reveal too...

Chloé: Hopefully this statue reveal will go by quickly.

André from outside the room: Chloé! Sabrina! Are you two ready to go?

Chloé, taking her phone from Sabrina and putting it back in her purse: Just a few more minutes.

Sabrina wasn't gonna let Chloé be upset today!

Sabrina: Hey! Since she went out of her way to get your number, it's only a matter of time before she asks you to watch her at roller derby practice!

Chloé, smiling: Thanks Sabrina.

Sabrina: No need to thank me.

After the two quickly get ready, they leave the Hotel with André and are driven to the Place des Vosges.

Which had people were waiting for Mayor Bourgeois and the Sculptor Théo Barbot.

Just as Chloé and Sabrina got out of the limousine, Adrien got out of the limousine he was driven in and runs up to the two girls.

Adrien: Hey Chloé! Hey Sabrina!

Sabrina: Hey Adrien! How does it feel knowing that your dad let you take a break from your MANY studies?

Adrien, rolling his eyes: Quite underwhelming considering that after this statue reveal I gotta get right back to studying.

Sabrina: My condolences for the lack of fun in your social life.

Noticing that Chloé's been surprisingly quiet, Adrien turns to her and sees that she's scrolling through something on her phone.

When he walks next to Chloé and looks over her shoulder, he smiles.

Adrien: Oh hey, It's Alix! Those must bee the Brutal Beauties I've heard around the school and nowhere else.

Adrien then sees a guy unfamiliar to him next to Alix and Nathaniel in one of the posts.

Adrien: Who's the guy with the blue hair? He's kinda cute.

Chloé: I... don't know. *internally* Alix has surrounded herself with such cool looking and mysterious people and I'M STILL HERE!!!

Sabrina: Guys, the statue's about to be revealed. I see Théo coming!

Théo Barbot then quickly runs up to Mayor Bourgeois, clearly out of breath.

Théo: Sorry I'm late, Mayor!

André: You're not late alot. Now let's reveal Paris' perfect masterpiece. *turns to the audience and speaks louder* It's only proper for Paris to pay homage to those who protect us from evil; *removes the cloth cover the statue* Scarabée and Kitty Claws!

Once Chloé Adrien Sabrina and everyone in th saw the statue, they all began to cheer loudly.

Alya was making sure to get as many photos as she could for the ScaraBlog and send some of the pics to her friends.

A girl unfamiliar to Alya was also taking her own pictures of the statue, more particularly at the Scarabée part of it.

???, whispering: Oh Scarabée...

After getting a good look at the Sculptor, Adrien realizes something.

Adrien, to Théo: Hey, do you go to Lycée Françoise Dupont by any chance?

Théo: Yes I do.

Sabrina: Your work on this statue is incredibly well done!

Théo: Thanks... it took me a few days, but I'm happy I got it done in time.

Adrien: Well you definitely earned it! You really got their features right. *turns to Chloé while smirking* What do you think of Scarabée's features, Chlo?

Chloé didn't bother to entertain her best friend's teasing with a response.

While Chloé was looking lovingly at the Scarabée part of the statue, she gets a notification on her phone.

When she pulls out her phone and looks at the notification, she almost crushes it in her hand.

A photo of Alix with her hand around Monica Bisset's shoulder was now on her screen.

At that point tons of VERY angry thoughts were going through her mind.

"Did it REALLY have to be Monica?!"

"She gets to see Alix's smiling face and hot muscles whenever sports are involved!"

"If I were there, Monica wouldn't even be within ten feet of Ally-Kins!"

Sabrina, noticing how upset she's getting: Chloé... how about we get some snacks on the way to your place?

Chloé, not looking away from her phone: I'll think about it.

The statue ceremony ends and people leave.

Once nearly everyone else is gone, the girl unfamiliar to Alya walks up to her.

???: You're Alya Césaire! I absolutely LOVE your ScaraBlog!

Alya: It's always great to meet a fan! What's your name?

Jolie: I am Jolie Gouin! With the work I finish from Fortuna Academy, the closer I get to becoming an incredible journalist!

Alya: You go to Fortuna Academy?! I heard that place is incredible!

Jolie: Incredible and challenging. But enough talk about school stuff, I wanna talk Superheroines.

Alya: Ah, a language I excel at. What do you wanna know?

Jolie, blushing: Well... how tall is Scarabée actually? What's her favorite colors? What's her favorite food? If she is a lycée student, do you know what school she goes to? Are her eyes naturally that cerulean blue?!

Alya was getting quite overwhelmed by her new friend's barrage of questions.

Alya, teasingly: Whoa there! Were you planning on slipping in a question about Kitty Claws anytime soon?

Jolie, blushing even harder: Sorry, it's just that... Scarabée's so cool and pretty.

When Chloé hears those last five words, her head snaps in the direction of where whose mouth they came from.

Alya: Too bad neither her and Kitty Claws showed up today...

Jolie: If she were here, I tell her how much I admire her! I hope we'd have so much in common if we were to talk. I drew a picture for her to sign. *takes the picture out of her pocket and shows it to Alya* Ignore the candy wrappers please.

Alya, looking at the picture: Whoa! Those Fortuna art classes are no joke.

A very jealous Chloé did NOT like what she was hearing.

Chloé: Adrien, Sabrina. You two can go back without me. I'll be there in a few.

Adrien: I gotta go study now. Hopefully next time. *walks off*

Sabrina, to Chloé: Are you sure?

Chloé, not looking away from Alya and Jolie: Very sure.

Once Adrien and Sabrina walk back to the limousine with André, Chloé quickly runs off to hide so she could transform.

Plagg: Oooooh! Your Itty-Bitty's quite popular with the ladies~

Chloé, getting even more angry: PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!

As Alya and Jolie exchanged numbers, Kitty Claws walks up to the two of them.

Alya, shocked: IT'S KITTY CLAWS!! *immediately starts recording her*

Jolie: Whoa... it is!

Kitty Claws, looking at Jolie: I heard that this little Journalist has a little crush on Scarabée.

Jolie, blushing while looking away from the heroine: Well-

Kitty Claws, with an obviously fake smile: Don't waste your time.

Jolie, shocked: W-wha-

Kitty Claws: You don't have a shot cause I'M Scarabée's type! Itty-Bitty won't waste her precious time with a wannabe Journalist when she has me.

Jolie holds her picture to her chest before running away.

Alya, stopping the recording and shouts angrily: What's your deal?!

Kitty Claws, shocked at Alya's anger: Just looking out for MY Itty-Bitty! *turns around and runs off*

When Alya realizes that Jolie was long gone, she tries to call her only for her call to be ignored.

Jolie, still running: What does Scarabée see in HER?!

Jolie slows down until she stops running and leans again a building.

Jolie, looking at her picture of Scarabée: You deserve someone WAY better than Kitty Claws. Why don't you see that?! I bet she's the type to think of love as some game to win! I would be the girlfriend you deserve...

Jolie rages about how Kitty Claws does not take love seriously and how she, not KC, deserves to be with Scarabée.

Hawkmoth: Disappointed by Scarabée's choice of partner and jealous of Kitty Claws. The perfect formula for disaster! Fly away my little akuma and evilize her.

Hawkmoth, sensing Jolie's jealousy and anger sends out an akuma. The akuma lands on the picture of Scarabée.

Hawkmoth: Hello Dupli-Cat, I'm Hawkmoth. Once you get rid of Kitty Claws, you can take her place. And Scarabée will be yours forever!

Jolie: The very thought makes me purr~

Jolie Gouin is then transformed into Dupli-Cat.

Dupli-Cat: Time to ruin Kitty Claws' reputation and win Scarabée over! The Louvre would be a great place to start.

After putting her drawing in her left pocket, Dupli-Cat transforms into an exact duplicate of Kitty Claws and jumping from rooftop to rooftop in the direction of the Louvre.

~~~~~At a local chocolaterie~~~~~

Chloé was buying several pounds of chocolate for herself Adrien and Sabrina.

When she left the chocolaterie, Plagg flies out of her purse.

Plagg: I don't think it was the best idea to make that Journalist girl cry...

Chloé: Hey, I HAD to put her in her place! Besides, if she were to get akumatized, I'll handle her with the help of MY Scarabée.

Plagg: Human jealous and envy are such confusing emotions. How are you this upset about the thought of both Alix and Scarabée being around other girls when you AREN'T dating neither of them?

Chloé: Another word outta you and you're fuel source will be MY chocolate for a week. Now, let's get these chocolates back to Mt room.

~~~~~At Flying Wheels Arena~~~~~

The Brutal Beauties were taking a break when Nathaniel and Luka brought them drinks.

Nathaniel: Shame how Jalil couldn't make it to watch you practice.

Alix: It's cool. I told him it was okay for him to watch Ella and Etta for Alya after all.

Luka: Even how he was with us, he’s gonna be so protective of those two.

Monica, running up to them: Alix! *pushes Luka out the way* how are you sticker designs going?!

Alix: There going along. There aren't many people who would ask for commissions though. Speaking of stickers, there are a few a want you guys to see.

Alix then puts her hand into her duffel bag and pulls out the stickers she made.

One was Nathaniel's name in an artist and messy painting font, one was Luka's name in an elegantly colored algerian font, and the Brutal Beauties logo boldly colored in a britannic bold font.

Monica: So cool! Can I have the Brutal Beauties one?!

Alix: Of course! I made one for all of us after all.

Monica: Oh... *internally* Why can't they be OUR thing?!

Nathaniel: These are so cool! I'll put it on my new sketch book

Luka: Mine's going right on my guitar case.

Alix: I gave some to Jalil before I left. I bet Ella and Etta really like them too.

~~~~~At the Louvre~~~~~

Alya had just got to the Louvre to pick up the twins for Jalil.

What she didn't expect to see was her older sister's best friend covered in stickers.

Ella and Etta, running up to Alya: ALYA'S HERE!

Alya: Sorry if the twins were too much trouble Jalil.

Jalil: They weren't any trouble at all. They remind of Alix when she was their age.

Alya, taking out her phone: Just so you know, I'm taking a picture to send to Nora.

Jalil: I'd be shocked if you didn't.

After Alya takes the picture of Jalil, who everyone thought was Kitty Claws walks into the Louvre.

Ella: *gasps* Alya look!

Etta: It's Kitty Claws!

Alya, starts to frown: What's she doing here?

Jalil, noticing her sudden mood change: You okay?

While everyone else around the four took their phones out and started taking pictures, Kitty Claws(?) walks closer to the Mona Lisa and steps over the ribbon to get even closer.

Kitty Claws(?): Don't mind me, just stealing this painting. Just go about your business. *grabs the painting and causes the alarm to go off*

When the Security Guard tries to grab her, she kicks him into the wall across the room and she then poses for the cameras.

She then notices that Alya's there and turns to fully face her.

Kitty Claws(?): Make sure you get this for your ScaraBlog; Kitty Claws is the baddest cat in Paris now! *quickly leaves*

Jalil: I have in INCREDIBLY bad feeling about this...

Alya: You're not the only one.

Ella: Alya?

Etta: Is Kitty Claws bad now?

Alya: That's... a tough question to answer right now.

Jalil: Don't worry, girls! I'm sure that Scarabée can handle her cat being mean.

Ella and Etta: *giggles*

Alya, sighs in relief before looking at Jalil: Thanks.

Jalil: No problem.

Alya, frustrated: First the incident with Jolie and now THIS?! I gotta make a new ScaraBlog video!

Little did Alya know, Jalil was internally freaking out.

Jalil, internally: Alix, if you ARE Scarabée, how are you gonna fix a partner gone bad?!

Once the news of Kitty Claws stealing from the Louvre went life, Chloé and Alix had two VERY different reactions.

~~~~~At the Flying Wheels Arena~~~~~

Luka, watching the news on his phone: You guys may wanna check this out. *shows Alix and Nathaniel his phone*

Nathaniel: Is Kitty Claws REALLY stealing from the Louvre?! Mr. Kubdel's gotta be passed.

Alix, internally: There's NO WAY that this is Kitty Claws. It's an Akuma for sure.

Luka: Alix, you got really quiet.

Nathaniel: I know what you're thinking.

Alix, shocked: You do?!

Nathaniel, smirking: Realizing that you're into bad girls must be such a mental challenge.

Alix, quickly taking off one of her skates: I will hit you with this.

Luka: I don't think this is the time for joking or violence.

~~~~~At Le Grand Paris~~~~~

Sabrina, watching the news on her phone: There's NO WAY that Kitty Claws is a thief!

Chloé, internally: This HAS to be that Journalist that Césaire was hanging out earlier! She's trying to ruin my reputation!

Sabrina, looking over at Chloé: Are you okay? You're gripping your phone a little too hard.

Sabrina, hearing her ring tone: That must be one of the other officers my dad got to take me home. See you tomorrow, Chloé. *quickly leaves*

Plagg, after hearing the door close: *flies out of Chloé's purse* Whoa, you must have really gotten to that girl if she's trying to frame you for theft.

Chloé: Hey, it's not MY fault that she's a jealous little brat!

Plagg: *rolls his eyes* Projecting much?

Chloé: Plagg, Claws out!

~~~~~Back at Flying Wheels Arena~~~~~

Alix was on the phone with Alim making sure that he was alright.

Alix: And you, Jalil, Alya, and the twins aren't hurt?

Alim: No sweetie, she just took the Mona Lisa, kicked one of our Security Guards and left. He's alright though.

Alix: Great, I'll be there soon! Love you. *hangs up*

Ondine, walking up to Alix: Is your family okay?

Alix: Yeah, they're fine, but cops are surrounding the Louvre. It'll be for the best if we end practice for today.

Socqueline: Is Kitty Claws actually a thief now?

Monica: There's no way! Kitty Claws is too awesome!

Alix: I'm sure Scarabée will be there to clear up this incredibly abnormal situation.

After they all leave the roller rink, Nathaniel and Luka refuse to leave Alix's side.

Alix: Guys, I told you that my dad and Jalil are alright.

Nathaniel: With how unpredictable this day has been, we're NOT taking any chances.

Luka: I have to agree with Nate on this.

Alix, internally: DAMNIT YOU TWO! I HAVE TO TRANSFORM SO I CAN INVESTIGATE!!

After they begin fast walking, Alix gets a notification on her phone from the ScaraBlog.

She takes her headphones out of her duffel bag, contacts them to her phone, and watches the ScaraBlog's newest video while continuing to walk with Nathaniel and Luka.

After the three of them managed to quickly get to the Louvre, they saw Kitty Claws talking to Officer Raincomprix.

They also noticed that several other officers surrounded her.

Kitty Claws: For the LAST TIME, I didn't steal the Mona Lisa. I'm being framed!

Roger: And I'm telling you to take a quick look inside-

Kitty Claws: I KNOW that cop trick! When I go into the Louvre, you're gonna trap me inside.

Roger: Wha-

While Kitty Claws talked with ranted at Officer Raincomprix, Alim and Jalil saw Alix with Nathaniel and Luka.

Alim, running towards them: Alix! Boys!

Jalil, right behind Alim: Are you all alright!?

Alix: We came here to ask you two that!

Nathaniel: Where are Alya and the twins?

Alim: They went home. *turns in the direction of Kitty Claws and Roger* Speaking of clearly upset teens...

Kitty Claws: If you think that I'm not only dumb enough to steal the Mona Lisa, but to also come back to the scene of the crime as well, you MUST really be bad at your job!

Roger: Why you-

Kitty Claws: Magic is obviously real and you don't think that someone would MAGICALLY transform into me if they wanted my reputation to be ruined?!

Roger: I will NOT be disrespected-

Alim, walking to them: That's quite enough, Officer Raincomprix. I'll take it from here.

Roger hesitates before begrudgingly walking away with the surrounding officers following him.

Alim: Sorry about him, Kitty Claws. You'd think he'd act more like a father than a cop when speaking with teenagers.

Kitty Claws: It's okay...

Alix, Jalil, Nathaniel, and Luka then run up to the two of them.

Alix: Don't worry, Kitty Claws! We know you're not a thief.

Kitty Claws, internally: Ally-Kins' roller derby uniform looks even hotter in person!

Nathaniel, smirking: Just so you know, Alix ESPECIALLY didn't lose faith in you!

Kitty Claws, blushing: Oh...

Alix, blushing as well: You shut it! *punches Nathaniel's arm*

Nathaniel, rubbing his arm: Ow! I regret nothing!

Luka: Kitty Claws, does Scarabée know about this whole situation?

Kitty Claws: I don't know. I tried to call her, but she won't answer.

Luka: Why don't we all help you out until she gets here?

Alix: Hold on-

Jalil: Actually, me, Alix and dad WILL stay here in case that imposter comes back. Nate and Luka, you two will be helping out Scarabée!

Nathaniel: That's a great plan too!

Alix, internally: Thank you, Jalil! *speaks out loud* Before I go, I think I have something that might help Scarabée tell you two apart.

Alix then opens her duffel bag and pulls out another sticker she had made.

This one was Kitty Claws' name in green and black. Designed as to make it seem it was written in cat scratches.

Kitty Claws, taking the sticker: Whoa! This is REALLY cool.

Alix: I wanted to wait so I could give to both you and Scarabée at the same time, but clearly that won't happen for a couple of reasons .

Kitty Claws then quickly sticks the sticker on the side of her left thigh.

After the Kubdels go inside, Nathaniel and Luka discuss the situation with Kitty Claws.

Kitty Claws: The girl is some wannabe Journalist. And judging by the uniform I saw her in earlier, she goes to Fortuna Academy.

Luka: Do you know WHY this girl was akumatized?

Kitty Claws: ... That's classified information!

Luka, shocked: Okay...?

Kitty Claws: All I'm gonna tell you is that she has an utterly lame crush on Scarabée.

Nathaniel: Not much to go off on, but I can work with this. *takes a pencil and piece of paper out of his bag* Scarabée's gonna invite the bad cat on a date.

While Luka and Kitty Claws watched Nathaniel write what they believe is a love letter, Alix had just finished changing out of her roller derby uniform.

Alix, walking right pass Alim and Jalil: Dad! Jalil! I'm going to get the ingredients you need for dinner! *runs off*

After managing to leave the Louvre without Kitty Claws or the boys noticing her, Alix quickly hides away to transform.

Tikki, flying out of Alix's hair: Who would wanna frame Kitty Claws?

Alix: I think I have an idea. Tikki, Spots On!

After transforming, Scarabée quickly uses her yo-yo to check certain posts online.

Lots of people were posting about "Kitty Claws" trashing Sweet Paris Creperie & Café.

Scarabée, putting her yo-yo away: Got your location, faker. *jumps on top of the Louvre*

After Nathaniel finishes with the letter, Scarabée Landa in from of the three of them.

Kitty Claws, beaming: Itty-Bitty!

Scarabée: Sorry I'm late Kitty. Was doing so investigating on my own.

Luka: Did you find out anything?

Scarabée: Yeah, she currently at Sweet Paris Creperie & Café making a mess as people record her.

Kitty Claws, whining: NO! I like it there...

Scarabée: What have you guys got so far?

Nathaniel: Not much. Just that she’s crushing on you and wants to ruin Kitty Claws' reputation. Made a love letter for this plan we came up with though. *shows Scarabée the love letter*

Scarabée then takes the letter from Nathaniel and begins to read it.

"Kitty Claws, I'm not sure what's going on with you today, but I wanna be there for you and talk with you about whatever's got you so troubled. Meet me at the Flying Wheels Arena roller rink. We can eat pizza, drink some soda and hopefully talk about and fix this whole situation together."

"❤️Your loyal partner, Scarabée.🖤"

Nathaniel: And thanks to our friend Alix's awesome stickers, you won't be choosing the wrong Kitty Claws. It's on the side of her left thigh.

Luka: Me and Nathaniel are gonna take the letter to her, while you and Kitty Claws wait at the roller rink.

Scarabée: Great, me and KC could use the bit of alone time to talk about this anyway. *glances at Kitty Claws*

Kitty Claws: *looks away from Scarabée while pouting*

Nathaniel: There's one thing I don't get.

Luka: What's that?

Nathaniel: Since that faker is crushing on Scarabée, wouldn't have made more sense if she was akumatized into a villain that could take out Kitty Claws and NOT an exact duplicate of the heroine she wants Scarabée to hate?

Kitty Claws and Luka: ...

Scarabée, giving the letter back to Nathaniel: Shot in the dark, but what if she has a second form? One to ruin KC's reputation and the other to replace her as my partner?

Nathaniel: That... actually makes sense.

Kitty Claws: And adds another reason for us to be careful when she gets to the roller rink.

Luka: She should at least still be around the Café, let's go Nate!

Nathaniel, putting the letter in his bag: Right!

After Nathaniel and Luka in the direction of the Sweet Paris Creperie & Café, Scarabée and Kitty Claws jumped from rooftop to rooftop in the direction of the Flying Wheels Arena roller rink.

~~~~~At Sweet Paris Creperie & Café~~~~~

By the time Nathaniel and Luka got there, the phony feline heroine was throwing crepes against a wall while people recorded her with their phones.

Nathaniel: Good thing we managed to get here before Roger and the other cops.

Luka, shouting: Hey, Kitty Claws!

Kitty Claws(?): *quickly turns to face them*

Nathaniel: Scarabée sent us here to give you something! *quickly pulls the letter out of his bag*

Kitty Claws(?), quickly walking up to them: Oooh! Gimme! *snatches the letter from Nathaniel*

After quickly reading the letter, Kitty Claws(?) puts it in her pocket and immediately leaves the Café.

Kitty Claws(?), running in the direction of Flying Wheels Arena: This is perfect! Once "Kitty Claws" ruins Scarabée's sweet little comfort date, Dupli-Cat will be there to comfort and love her.

~~~~~At the Flying Wheels Arena roller rink~~~~~

Realizing that Kitty Claws isn't really gonna explain the situation to her, Scarabée brings it up.

Scarabée, in a stern tone: Kitty?

Kitty Claws, obviouslyly nervous: Yes, my precious and understanding Itty-Bitty?

Scarabée: I've noticed that you've been quite upset regarding this particular Akuma.

Kitty Claws: I mean... ALL akuma upset me-

Scarabée, cutting her off: If it wasn't for the ScaraBlog, I wouldn't even know that you made quite the memorable appearance at the statue ceremony when it ended.

After walking closer to Kitty Claws, Scarabée then uses her yo-yo to play Alya's newest ScaraBlog video which she made and posted from the Louvre before taking the twins home.

Alya in the video: I know you all must be shocked by Kitty Claws' sudden act of stealing. But she's wasn't the best before that...

Kitty Claws' face becomes VERY pale as the video of her going off on Jolie plays.

Kitty Claws, muttering: Shit.

Scarabée: While it's clear that you didn't rob the Louvre, you DID upset that girl and cause her to get akumatized.

Kitty Claws, frowning: I'm sorry... it just that I wasn't having the best of days-

Scarabée, cutting her off again: TAKING OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS ON A CIVILIAN WAS THE WORST THING YOU COULD'VE DONE!

Kitty Claws was so caught off guard by Scarabée screaming at her, she couldn't respond.

Scarabée: After all of this whole situation is fixed, you ARE going to apologize to that girl and clear things up with Alya on the ScaraBlog.

Kitty Claws: Yes Ma'am.

Scarabée: Good. Now go hide, we don't need the our faker to immediately spot you.

Kitty Claws, pouting: The akuma is most likely in the picture she drew of you. It'll probably be in her costume's pocket.

Scarabée: Thanks for the tip. Now hide.

The thought of Scarabée being upset with with her nearly broke Kitty Claws' heart.

Kitty Claws, internally: I WILL make it up to you, Itty-Bitty. *hides behind the concession stand

Outside of the Flying Wheels Arena roller rink, Kitty Claws(?) was standing in front of the door.

Kitty Claws(?): I'm sorry for how rude I'm about to be, Scarabée...

The second Kitty Claws(?) walks through the door, Scarabée's yo-yo is immediately wrapped around her waist.

Before she could react, she quickly pulled right in front of Scarabée.

Kitty Claws(?) couldn't help by blush as she looked down at Scarabée.

Especially with how close the two of them were.

Scarabée, looking up at her: Kitty... I heard you weren't on your best behavior!~

Kitty Claws(?), blushing even harder: Hahahahaha...

Hawkmoth, communicating with her: YOUR HANDS AREN'T TRAPPED! GET HER MIRACULOUS NOW!

Kitty Claws(?): Damnit Hawkmoth! You blew my cover!

Scarabée was so cool to grabbing the paper from her left pocket.

Unfortunately for her, Kitty Claws noticed the glowing butterfly mask and decided to jump into action.

She jumps out from her hiding place, lands onto the fake KC which untied the yo-yo from around her waist, and pulls a piece of paper out of her right pocket.

Scarabée, noticing the white piece of paper: KC! NO!

Kitty Claws: Cataclysm! *quickly uses it on the paper and watches it turn to dust* Where's the Akuma?!

Scarabée: GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!

After kicking Kitty Claws off of her and into a wall, Dupli-Cat transforms back into her Dupli-Cat outfit.

Dupli-Cat: You would NOT believe how much I wanted to get out of that outfit! Scarabée, this between me and Kitty Claws. Cataclysm! *activates her own cataclysm* Unlike Kitty Claws', mine won't go to waist.

After getting back up, Kitty Claws then runs up next to Scarabée while getting her baton ready.

Kitty Claws: Itty-Bitty, I am so-

Scarabée: Apologize later, distract her! We gotta finish this fast before you transform back.

Kitty Claws then goes to fight Dupli-Cat while avoiding her cataclysm.

Dupli-Cat: Absolutely incredible! You don't need MY help to make Scarabée hate you.

Kitty Claws, obviouslyly angry: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

When Dupli-Cat dodges Kitty Claws scratch, the heroine ends up cutting the table behind her in half.

Dupli-Cat, with a smirk: Ooooh! Did I touch a nerve?

While those two continued their face throughout the roller rink, Scarabée uses her Lucky Charm and watches as roller blades fall into her hands.

When she uses her Lucky Vision, she spots Kitty Claws, a table near the two fighting cats, the roller blades, and her yo-yo.

She then begins to tightly strap the roller blades onto her yo-yo.

Scarabée, swinging around her roller bladed yo-yo: KC! Get rid of that cataclysm!

Kitty Claws, still dodging hits: On it!

After managing to dodge a couple more attempts of Dupli-Cat's attacks by cataclysm, Kitty Claws grabs Dupli-Cat's wrist and slams it into the table next to them which causes her to end up using her cataclysm to destroy it.

Quite upset, Dupli-Cat grabs Kitty Claws and throws them both down in the concession stand.

After a few seconds, two Kitty Clawses jumped out.

Kitty Claws(?): Scarabée, it's me. I'm the REAL Kitty Claws.

Scarabée: Okay, show me the side of your left thigh then.

Kitty Claws(?): Wait what-

Without hesitating, the real Kitty Claws turns to the side and shows Scarabée her sticker.

Scarabée then quickly flings her yo-yo around the fake Kitty Claws.

Once her elbows are tied to her sides, the roller blades end up smacking her in face, which sends her falling to the ground.

Kitty Claws then takes the akumatized item out of her pocket and rips it in half, freeing the akuma.

After unwrapping her yo-yo from Jolie, Scarabée immediately catches the butterfly with it, purifies it and sets it free.

When she uses her Miraculous Cure, everything is fixed and/or put back where it was before.

This includes the Mona Lisa going back to the Louvre and Sweet Paris Creperie & Café being fixed up.

When Jolie turns back to normal, she quickly gets up with an embarrassed look on her face.

Kitty Claws turns away from Scarabée and Jolie with a frown.

Before she goes to leave, Scarabée grabs her wrist.

Scarabée: Aren't you forgetting something?

Kitty Claws, blushing: O-oh!

Kitty Claws happily takes a quick selfie with Scarabée before turning to Jolie.

Kitty Claws: Call Alya, I'd like to apologize to you later.

Jolie, shocked: Oh! Okay. Where should we meet?

Kitty Claws: Sweet Paris Creperie & Café, of course! *quickly leaves the roller rink*

After noticing the drawing, Scarabée picks it up.

Scarabée: This is a great drawing of me.

Jolie: Thanks! Can you sign it?

Scarabée: Of course!

Scarabée then quickly pulls a pen out of her yo-yo and signs the drawing.

Jolie: Also... I am SO sorry I let my negative emotions get the better of me after Kitty Claws told me you two were dating.

Scarabée, confused: Wait, but we're not-

Scarabée's interrupted by the beeping of her earrings.

Scarabée: When you appear on the ScaraBlog with Kitty Claws, ask her about the dating thing. If she doesn't tell the truth, I WILL know! *quickly leaves the roller rink*

After Scarabée leaves, Jolie looks at her signed drawing of Scarabée before she calls Alya.

Jolie: Hey Alya, are you up for an interview with Kitty Claws at Sweet Paris Creperie & Café? Don't worry I will explain everything once we get there.

~~~~~Later that day~~~~~

After eating dinner with her family, Alix was watching the latest ScaraBlog video.

Alya, in the video: So let me get this straight, Jolie was the one who stole the Mona Lisa and trashed Sweet Paris... because she was akumatized due to Kitty Claws lying about her relationship status with Scarabée?

Kitty Claws, in the video: That's right. And I can't apologize enough for how I behaved today. It was messed up of me to take my bad day out on Jolie.

Jolie, in the video: For the LAST time Kitty Claws, it's okay! Not everyone is perfect, that involves Superheroines or Superheroes.

Alix, putting her phone in her pocket: I'm turning in for the night.

Alim and Jalil, in unison: Good night, Alix!

When Alix goes into her room, she closes and locks the door.

Tikki, flying towards her from the bed: You're not going to bed, are you?

Alix: Nope. Tikki, spots on!

After transforming yet again, Scarabée grabs a bunch of her stickers out of the duffel back before leaving out of her opened window.

~~~~~At Le Grand Paris~~~~~

Chloé was eating a crepe outside by the pool while Plagg ate his camembert cheese.

Plagg: That was cool of you to apologize to that girl AND donate lots of euros to that Café.

Chloé: I just wish I could apologize to Itty-Bitty. I wonder where she is?

Scarabée: *swings pass the hotel while looking straight ahead*

Chloé: ...

Plagg: Found her-

Chloé: Plagg, Claws Out!

After Scarabée lands on the Eiffel Tower, she slaps her final sticker onto a part of it.

Scarabée: And that's the last one!

Kitty Claws, landing behind her: Hey there, Itty-Bitty!

Scarabée: Oh hey, KC.

Kitty Claws then noticed the pink red and black Scarabée sticker in an action like font.

Kitty Claws: That sticker...

Scarabée: I liked the one that Alix gave you so much, I just HAD to get mine from her and put'em all around Paris. That's why I'm here though. What are you doing here?

Kitty Claws: I actually came to apologize for my shitty behavior earlier. You did say apologize later all.

Scarabée: *chuckles* That I did... saw your video on the ScaraBlog, good work!

Kitty Claws, blushing: Thank you, Itty-Bitty!~

Scarabée then surprises Kitty Claws by using her yo-yo to pull her closer.

Scarabée, whispering: Don't let something like this happen again, please?

Kitty Claws, blushing even harder: O-of course I won't, Itty-Bitty! I promise!

Scarabée: Good.

After unwrapping her yo-yo from around Kitty Claws, Scarabée jumps off the Eiffel Tower and graceful swings away while Kitty Claws watched in awe.

Kitty Claws, shouting: MY ITTY-BITTY'S SO COOL!

Class of Heroes AU: Cute Ship Stuff

Here’s some HC’s about the lovely ships in this AU! I plan to do a future post with more backstory oriented stuff, but IDK when. Credit as always to the wonderful lovelies, @artzychic27 and @imsparky2002!

OH!!! Guess who came up with Mor’du’s new name! In this AU, he will be called ‘Yamikuma’ to fit with Brave being Kagami’s story. LMK your thoughts!

*Marinette loves to take Adrien out on little adventures on weekends, to let him experience things he’s never done before. No matter what it is, Adrien is always excited, because it’s new and he’s doing it with her.

*Adrien tells Marinette about the lights that appear in the sky every year on his birthday, and she vows to take him to see them one day. For now, they love to stargaze in the school courtyard.

*Once Kagami joins the relationship, they all love to go out for rides on Longg. It helps that all three of them can fit on his back!

*Nino frequently drops by Alya’s work in the mornings and afternoons, just to keep her company and help her clean up from the morning and afternoon rushes.

*Alya is teaching Nino to do a lot of things without using magic, like cooking and cleaning and fixing things. He appreciates and enjoys it a lot more than he thought he would for the accomplished feeling it gives him.

*Nathaniel has a gorgeous singing voice, and he’ll sing a song Marc loved from childhood, ‘Vuelie’ to calm him down when his control over his powers starts to slip.

*Marc loves to make ice statues based off Nathaniel’s drawings or just of Nathaniel himself, and Nath can’t help but squeal when he watches him work.

*Marc starts keeping a small pillow in his backpack for when Nathaniel falls asleep in random places around the school.

*Ondine is still rather clumsy on her new legs, so on particularly long and/or difficult walks, Kim will pick her up and carry her, so she doesn’t get tired or hurt.

*The students have a running betting pool over how many times Kim will catch Ondine falling or tripping from something in day. The highest record is eleven. He doesn’t mind it though, because he likes being able to hold her.

*He gets her into working out after she decides to join the school’s swim team. When she was able to deadlift 120 pounds on her first try, his heart nearly exploded and he almost asked her to marry him on the spot.

*Mylene loves to make flower crowns for Ivan and he’s more than happy to wear them, no matter what anyone says!

*Ivan introduces Mylene to all his gargoyle friends at the school, and she finds them to be lovely company. They love her too, she brings them snacks!

*Juleka loves to listen to Rose reading fairytales. They can spend hours in the library with Rose just reading all her favorite stories to Juleka, who never gets tired of hearing them.

*Rose absolutely adores dancing, so she will often pull Juleka out to twirl around with her when one of the various musicians at the school is playing in the courtyard.

*Mireille will often shift to her lion form and lay across Aurore’s lap while she’s working so the fairy can run her fingers through her mane and fur, which both of them find very calming.

*The first time Simon tried to take Denise flying with him, it did NOT go well as their muscle mass ended up being a BIT too much for him to handle. (They ARE nine feet tall, after all…) After that, he goes to Lacey for pixie dust or borrows Alix’s carpet for them whenever they feel like a romantic fly.

*Simon will play music on his pipe-flute for Denise to calm them down when they’re especially upset about being treated as a ‘villain’. He’s…not very good, and it mostly works because it makes them laugh.

*Cosette loves to teach Zoe the dance moves from their music videos and to hear her singing along to their tunes. It’s considering asking her to record a few tracks with the band, she knows the fans would LOVE Zoe’s beautiful voice as much as they do.

Puppeteer 2 is one of the best episodes for relationship development of the series

this is once again a plea for the fandom to get over a minute long statue scene that is honestly kinda funny to enjoy some of the beauties of the rest of this episode. I've seen so many people, even people who don't salt say this episode is a pass when you should definitely watch it if you love the love square

this is one of the best love square development episodes of the series and i see so many people discredit ot not realizing that all the salty takes on how the love square is a bad ship would be discredited by this episode and just....it's a banger of an episode

under a read more cause this post got long

for starters, the core 4 and djwifi interactions are godtier

THEN THERES MR SHE'S JUST A FRIEND AGRESTE BEING SO SAD AT THE IDEA THAT MARINETTE DOESN'T LIKE HIM

He values her friendship so much and is absolutely devastated that she doesn't feel the same way and so he spends the rest of the episode trying to make her like him because he just cannot bear marinette dupain cheng not liking him

look at them how could you not want to know why the tension in the elevator is so palpable

and

THE ADRINETTE IS SO GOOD THOUGH AHH

we have adrien who genuinely just wants to be friends with marinette and marinette catastrophizing up a storm and see them both lose braincells cause adrien is like oh i'll just play a prank like when i do it to ladybug that always works but it doesn and then the best part of the episode is THEY TALK ABOUT IT

and mari makes up another excuse for why she doesn't like him as more than a friend, but she does reassure him that they are friends, she just doesn't me like him more than friends, and honestly this is where she dug her own grave yes but think about how HAPPY adrien is to have a friend and especially one marinette dupain cheng to be that friend. we know how important friends are to him and i can't deal with the idea that for so long he wasn't sure if mari like him even as just a friend but this time she confirmed it and just ahhhhh

i'm also a sucker for adrien protecting mari scenes okay, and seeing him fence hawkmoth is some pretty exciting stuff (and dare i say some potential foreshadowing? >.>)

*ahem* LADRIEN

LOOK AT THEM SAVE EACH OTHERSSGFDJLGD

the ladynoir interactions are also so good btw like for real this bit:

CN: The worse the situation, the more amazing I realize you are!

LB: How do you do that?

CN: Do what?

LB: If I mean so much to you, how is it so easy for you to say these nice things to me, even in bad situations? The really important things are the hardest to say, aren't they?

CN: It's precisely when it's important that it's important to say it!

THIS IS THE ENTIRE REASON WHY LADYBUG NEEDS CHAT AS HER PARTNER, THIS IS IT. HE GROUNDS HER AND MAKES HER REALIZE SHE DOESN'T NEED TO OVERCOMPLICATE OR CATASTRAPHIZE. THIS HERE IS WHY CHAT IS JUST AS POWERFUL AS LADYBUG HES THE ONLY ONE SHE CAN FEEL SAFE AND REASSURED BY.

also I don't have time to explain but this was also genuinely the best rehash of an akuma because those wax statues coming to life and pretending to be LB and CN had me terrified.

and we end with this interaction, somehow both heartlifting and heartbreaking:

M: I shouldn't have kissed that statue. I didn't know it was you, if I had it wouldn't have neem a prank because—

A: No, no! It's my fault! When you left the workshop, I was so worried you were mad at me it made me do this prank and...

M: Of course I wasn't mad! I'm sorry I made you believe that.

A: Is that true? We're still friends?

M: Of course! But maybe we should stop playing pranks on each other!

A: *laughs* I know, I'm not good with jokes. The girl I'm in love with doesn't like them.

M: The girl...you're...you're in love with

LOOK AT THEM BEING ALMOST HONEST BUT THEY CANT CAUSE THE LOVE SOMEONE ELSE BUT THE PERSON THE LOVE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM AND I JUST I CANT DEAL THIS IS WHY THE LOVE SQUARE IS SO GOOD THIS IS WHY I SHIP THEM SO HARD

i promise, once you get over that 1 minute scene this episode is one of the absolute best and worth far more than any momentary cringe. come on friend i know you can do it

@sentisugar

Prompt 1: Feather

Adrien pinches his nose and turns away; hoping that it would help him not sneeze. But to no avail, the itchiness starts at the back of his throat and continues into his nostrils and try as he might, it’s hopeless. He throws his head back and gives out a sneeze as gracefully as one could. (“In your dreams kid” Plagg had once told him. “You sound like a dying swan, no wait! A dying Peacock. Yeah those are high pitched.”)

“Sorry Vincent…” He mumbles.

Vincent bless his heart doesn’t look annoyed if anything- “Magnifico! Perfetto! Do it again!”

Adrien raises an eyebrow.“Sneeze?” There’s a rumble and his shirt vibrates ever so slightly from where he’s hiding behind Adrien’s shirt.

“No, no!” His photographer makes a gesture with his hand. “That expression! It was perfect! A look of wonder! Of awe! That’s the look you should have when looking at such beauty. Now give me some emotion! ”

Adrien’s lips twitch ever so slightly. Vincent can be described by many as eccentric and intense. Some of the crew say that his metaphors are hard to understand. Adrien thinks he’s passionate. He can admire it (Wishing he felt half as passionate about modeling. But it didn’t matter if he liked it or not. It made father happy, so he is happy to do it.) and honestly? Being around the Italian so much, he is very familiar with his language.

He casts a look down at the stack of peacock feathers and something in his heart becomes heavy. It’s his mother. She’s visiting today unexpectedly. It’s a habit of hers. She can come to him at any time of the day. While playing the piano, she hums in his ears, her voice much more beautiful than the sound of any instrument, he feels the ghost of her fingers on his own then. He sees her in everything beautiful in the world; in the blue sky, in the sunlight as it catches a falling leaf making the spider web-like patterns shine, her eyes are visible in the lustrous grass, the dustings of snow are her fingers wrapped tightly around him. She comes to him within all of his friends, in Nino’s firm friendship, in Luka’s calm expression as he plays the guitar, in Rose’s bubbly behavior, in Juleka’s shy mumbles, in Marinette’s confident eyes and most of all in Ladybug’s warm smiles.

And most off all, she comes to him in every copy of her visage. In the white statue surrounded with roses, she’s sitting with grace, her face serene immortalized in stone. She’s in every picture and portrait around the house and god, there are so many; in the living room, in his room, on the computer screen, in father’s office, covered in gold and fingers folded staring to the middle distance…

(Adrien loves every single one of them for letting him see more of her, for not letting him forget her face with each passing day. He also hates every one of them because not a single one capture her truly; not her warmth and charm and wits. It’s all a reminder that she’s gone and all he’s left with is her smile, painted with ink, captured in a picure frame and carved from stone.)

One feather. He counts in his mind. Two feathers, three feathers…

And now? She’s with him in the eyes of a peacock feather.

And like each time, his heart clench as if being squeezed by an invisible hand that had caved through skin, muscles and bones.

One feather. He counts in his mind. Two feathers, three feathers…

***

“Adrien?” Mamma asks. The light covers her silhouette as she stands between the door frame. “What is it, honey?”

He shifts a little and peaks at her from the blanket. “It’s…” there’s a lump in his throat that chokes the words down. He can hear papa’s words in his head. He shouldn’t be afraid. It’s uncouth, stupid; he’s too old for things like this. Before he can say anything, the sky answers for him. It roars like a monster and he whimpers.

Mama’s face softens. Adrien thinks she looks like an angel; one that doesn’t need wings like the golden statue with two rings he can see from the window. “Oh sweetheart.” She walks and the bed shifts beneath her weight. “How about I stay with you for a little while?”

He nods and a few seconds later he’s wrapped in her arms. He nuzzles her neck, her chin on his hair. “Do you want to know something about lightning and thunder?”

He shifts a little so he can look at her. “What is it?”

She smiles and there’s mischief in her eyes and moments like this he thinks maybe she’s playing the same game he and Felix often do and she’s secretly aunt Amelie. She has the same look his aunt has right before giggling; or maybe he only thinks that because he’s always playing with Felix and there’s always playfulness in his eyes. “If you count the seconds between the flash of lightning and sound of thunder, and divide it by five, you’ll get the distance by miles to the lightning.”

Adrien’s mouth makes an o shape; his mind taking up the new information.

She smiles at his curious expression. “How about we count them together?”

He nods and the two of them sit up. They look at the window and then the sky flashes white. “One, two, three…” She counts right beside him. They reach ten and then there’s thunder. It doesn’t sound and scary with her arms wrapped around him.

“Two miles?” He looks up to her?

“That’s right!” She smiles. “You see? It’s just noise. So far away. Everytime you get scared, you come to me, and we’ll count the seconds together.”

“Okay!” He smiles against her neck, her fingers comb through his head and already, he feels sleepy. “Can you stay with me until I fall sleep?”

“Of course sweetheart.” She kisses the top of his head. “How about we count the feathers now?”

He smiles. Everyone else may count the sheep but not them. They imagine a peacock and then pluck its feathers. Felix calls them weird because of it but it’s their little thing. “One feather. Two feathers. Three feathers…” In his mind all the feathers huddle up around his mom and she wears them like a dress, she looks like a princess.

He soon falls sleep with the image of his mother in his mind; wearing a dress of peacock feathers, the light of the moon covering her head to toe, and in the darkness of the night sky, she glows blue.

***

He watches the feather float up into the blue sky. Another akumatized villain with a big, flashy sentimonster to show for it. This time, a woman heartbroken over lost love. The amok and akuma within her wedding ring.

Ladybug catches the feather and butterfly like she’d done times and times before. But he is distracted. For the hundredth time, all he can think about is how cruel their enemy is; to use such carnal pain that should be kept to oneself or be shared with trusted friends and family and use it as a weapon.

“-Bye little feather” Ladybug’s gentle voice brings him back. She gives a gentle wave with her fingers and he can’t help but smile, she does this every time they defeat a villain but it never fails to be adorable. “Miraculous ladybug!” a swarm of red with a splash of black later and Paris is unharmed again. His heart flutters at the sight of her lovely smile.

Then, her eyes close in contentment and he feels his heart and stomach swap places. She looks exactly like their little bugette as she held the Eiffel tower key chin to her chest. He wonders what she’d feel about the sentimonsters they defeat. Would she help them? Or would she insist they free them just like her? He looks at the sky and his eyes can still spot the white feather in the sky, trailing after a white butterfly.

“Kitty?” He turns back and sees ladybug eyeing him with curiosity. “Is there anything wrong? What is it?”

His heart clenches for a moment. What is it, honey? His mother says. He doesn’t tell her though. No need to upset her with something like that. It’s not like she could do anything about it. “Nothing bugaboo.” He brings his fist forward.

She smile and they fist bump.

When he looks up again, the feather is gone.

***

“Adrien?” He looks and sees Felix’s face. To all else, his cousin may look emotionless, apathetic at best; but Adrien knows him. Knows to look at the small twitches and quirks of eyebrows to find the hidden emotions. He knows to not be fooled by Felix’s acts of non-caring. He knows his cousin.

Do you though?

His cousin wouldn’t sabotage his friendship with his friends.

His cousin wouldn’t make deals with Adrien’s biggest enemy.

His cousin isn’t a-

So no, he doesn’t know Felix as much as he likes to think he does.

He doesn’t even know himself.

Or maybe he does. Maybe, he finally does.

“I-” The words die in his throat. What can he say? What words in the entire universe could ever describe this?

“Adrien.” Felix says solemnly and puts a hand on Adrien’s shoulder, and Adrien can almost imagine that it’s just them. Adrien and his cousin, who plays chess, and basketball with him, and pulls a coin from behind his ear; his cousin who’d never sabotage his friendships and make deals with Adrien’s biggest enemy and is just flesh and bones and zero percents magic.

Almost.

“It’s going to be- I won’t say alright because that would be a lie.” Felix certainly doesn’t have a problem with lying but he won’t lie about this; never about this. “But you’ll get through this. We’ll get through this; for better or worse.”

And was it for better? Did knowing make you better? Or are you all the worst for it? Will I be all the worst for it?

He doesn’t say it but Felix understands. Maybe it’s because he’s just intuitive by nature, maybe because he just knows Adrien (And himself), maybe because of the brooch he now wears, or maybe because the two of them are connected in ways that goes beyond any blood or water of the womb.

“Okay…” Is what he says. “Okay.”

Felix nods and calls out to Duusu. There’s a flash of light and Adrien sees his mother again, bathed in moonlight and glowing blue in the shadow of the night. Only now, he thinks that her blue skin can’t be because of the night and what he sees is a memory.

Felix plucks a feather from his hand fan and blows it. It floats toward a white ribbon. The ribbon glows and then there’s a blue glow in front of them as the halo of energy changes and shifts, Adrien starts recognizing the shape. When the glow fades, he sees his cousin’s creation.

Creations, let’s say.

They are golems, black-armored bodies with spikes on their torsos, arms and angles, and with blank chrome-like faces.

They’re exact replicas of the strickback sentimonsters, with the one difference being that these ones were noticeably smaller; the size of toy robots. They also had a small chain connecting them.

Felix smiles and wraps the ribbon around the chain. “Here.”

Adrien shivers. Something within him soars and hurts at the same time. He thinks about Bugette falling to her knees and clutching herself. He thinks of the strikeback sentimonsters falling into the sun. He thinks of ladybug and then he doesn’t because she’s the last thing he wants to think about right now. There’s a sense of irony in that.

One of the sentimonsters approaches him. Metalic hand stretched out. Adrien hesitates.

“Go on.” Felix urges. “They’re family.”

Adrien takes the offered hand. The sentimonster makes a sound, not unlike its predecessor and before he can help it, he falls to his knees and puts his other hand on its head.

Felix kneels as well. His hand grasping one of the other golems’. Their shoulders touch and Adrien thinks of a zoo; with a peacock in the cage. They’re six and Adrien tells Felix that they should count the eyes on the feathers to see if there are a hundred of them. Felix scoffs, saying that there’s no way there are that many. The only reason they’re having this argument is because-

“And Hera was devastated by Argus’s death.” Mama says. “She loved that giant, you see? So to honor him, she puts his eyes on the tail of the peacock. All hundreds of them.”

They’re leaning on each other at this point. It’s alien and , natural at the same time. He looks toward the photo on Felix’s wall. It’s the two of them with their respective mothers. Adrien has a copy of the photo in an album. To see Felix hang it on the wall makes his chest throb. Something within him breaks and mends at the same time. From where he sits, his mother’s eyes are the color of a peacock feather.

He can’t look at them.

So instead he looks at Felix. There’s a satisfied smile on his face. Adrien looks at the hand fan and then-

And then…

He counts.

One feather, two feathers, three feathers…

Hi, I love your fics! Could you write some reverse adrinette au? I live for it :')

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like them! And of course you can have some reverse adrinette. I live for them too heheh! Especially after the recent ep :)

AO3

“Your hair looks so beautiful down, Marinette.” Adrien grinned up at her from his desk, resting his cheek on his knuckles. His insides felt mushy, gooey even as he wondered what her reaction would be. 

Would her arms flail about adorably? Would she stammer or stutter as her eyes darted about? Ooh, or would she finally... finally grant him another one of her lovely blushes? He was positively dying to see Marinette turn a pretty shade of pink... especially if he was the cause.

For a moment, Adrien thought she would grant him all three, and what a sight to behold that would have been. Instead, however, she simply gave him a cool smile and a sweet giggle that caused the gently fluttering butterflies to suddenly erupt in his chest. 

“Thank you, Adrien. I’m glad you like it,” Marinette said, running her fingers through her long, dark hair.

He tracked the movement longingly, the hand that he wasn’t resting his cheek against twitching slightly as he ached to run his own fingers through her hair. Would it be as soft as it looked? It certainly seemed like it would be. 

Adrien swallowed roughly, shifting in his seat as he noticed Marinette staring at him curiously. How long had he been watching her run her fingers through her hair? It didn’t matter. He just wanted to keep her talking... and maybe, just maybe, hear another giggle.

He gave her a shy grin before asking, “So are you planning on wearing it down more often, then?”

Marinette’s pink lips slowly parted, about to answer his question before a throat clearing behind him had him whirling around. It was Adrien’s turn to blush as he caught sight of Mlle. Bustier, one eyebrow raised as she looked down at him. “I’m sure the conversation you’re having with Marinette is lovely, Adrien, but I’d appreciate it if we could focus on the lesson.”

He turned an even darker shade of red as he was forcibly taken from Marinette’s brilliant, sparkling blue eyes, back to the classroom he was currently in as his fellow students snickered at him. Oh. He had practically forgotten that they were in school. 

Scratching the back of his neck embarrassedly, Adrien ducked his head back into his notes. He snuck one last, quick peek back at Marinette just because he was already missing her. He heard Alya whisper something to her, nudging her arm as her eyes gleamed mischievously. Marinette simply shook her head with a soft smile, whispering something back to her best friend.

Before Adrien could get caught staring or, even worse, get called out by Mlle. Bustier once again, he quickly brought his attention back to his notes. 

Surprisingly, he wasn’t feeling as embarrassed as he probably should have been. He was simply a boy in love. And didn’t that thought send another wave of butterflies fluttering in his chest? A grin spread across Adrien’s face as he slowly sketched a doodle of Marinette on his notes. How had it taken him so long to recognize his feelings for her?

That kiss at the wax museum had left him confused by the pleasant warmth that had bubbled inside him when her lips had briefly, too briefly in his opinion, caressed his. After all, he was supposed to be in love with Ladybug... wasn’t he? His heart shouldn’t be pounding in his chest by a different girl. 

It had taken Kagami and another date with Marinette at that very same museum for him to realize that yes, his feelings for her were very much there. And simply remembering that brief kiss caused his lips to tingle and his heart to ache with the thought of doing that again. Hopefully, for much longer. And with both of them aware that he wasn’t a statue.

Adrien felt simply dizzy with pleasure and happiness as he imagined them curled up in her pink room, his hands running through her hair as they kissed over and over again. Wouldn’t that simply be the best thing ever? An elbow digging into his side snapped him out of his daydream. Snapping his eyes over to Nino, he saw a wide smirk on his best friend’s face. He nodded down at Adrien’s notebook, causing him to blink and look down at his notes. Pink dusted his cheeks as he saw the name Adrien Dupain-Cheng scrawled all over the margins in his handwriting. 

“Dude, you’ve got it bad,” Nino mouthed, shaking his head at him before motioning his head back at Marinette. 

Adrien’s blush turned even darker as a silly, dopey, lovesick grin spread across his face. Because, yes, he did have it bad. 

He snuck another look back at Marinette and barely stopped the sigh from escaping him. Her tongue was stuck out of the corner of her mouth, her pencil scribbling furiously on her notes where he assumed she was paying better attention to their lecture than he was. 

But how was he supposed to function when the most amazing girl was behind him? When all Adrien wanted to do was just tug her into his arms, and confess his feelings for her over and over? And maybe... just maybe he’d be allowed to kiss her and see if he still remembered the taste of her lips.

He felt another sharp dig into his side and whipped his gaze away from the girl he was probably staring at dreamily back to Nino again. A sheepish grin formed on Adrien’s face as his friend shook his head at him with an even wider smirk on his lips. “You look like a lovesick puppy,” his friend whispered. 

Once again, Adrien nodded his head before running his finger over the name that he doodled in his journal. Adrien Dupain-Cheng. Didn’t that just sound absolutely wonderful? Looking back up at Nino, who pointedly watched him caress the name, Adrien softly said, “Probably because I am a lovesick puppy.”

Nino looked positively delighted by this confession, darting his eyes to Marinette and back again. He raised his eyebrows, asking a silent question that was practically obvious. With a small scoff, Adrien’s gaze was once again drawn to the girl who had stolen his heart before he brought it back to Nino and shyly nodded.

Yes, Marinette was the one who had turned him into a lovesick puppy. And, honestly, he was still shocked he hadn’t realized his feelings for her sooner. The fluttering in his chest hadn’t lessened in the slightest. Now, with the realization that Adrien really, truly, deeply loved her, he recognized that he felt the same way when she had fallen asleep on him on the Startrain, when she had stuck up for him on their trip to New York, and especially when she had kissed him in that wax museum. 

Now, just how was he going to convince Marinette to kiss him again? For longer and even more often this time around. Adrien attempted to suppress a smile at that idea again, but he was pretty certain he failed. First things first, he had to get her to agree to go on a date with him.

The bell ringing startled him out of his stupor and he immediately whirled around, beaming up at Marinette once again. “Hi,” he said, lifting his hand up briefly in a wave.

“Hi?” she asked almost questioningly, her sapphire eyes blinking at him curiously as she slowly put her books back in her bag. 

Adrien’s heart thundered loudly in his ears and his palms began to sweat as nervousness flooded through him. Flirting with Ladybug hadn’t been nearly this difficult. Licking his suddenly dry lips, he murmured, “I-I was wondering if you’d like to come with me to get André’s ice cream this weekend?”

Her lips parted slightly and he couldn’t stop his gaze from darting to it longingly before he looked back up at her eyes as quickly as he could. Marinette stole a quick glance at Alya almost nervously before she shifted on her feet. Clearing her throat, she gradually bobbed her head up and down before shooting him a smile that practically had him melting. “Sure,” she said finally, causing his heart to soar. “I’d love to hang out with you, Alya, and Nino if your father lets you join us this weekend.”

And, just as quickly as his hopes had soared, they came crashing back down again. Hesitantly, Adrien asked, “You, Alya, and Nino?”

“Yeah.” Marinette beamed, slinging her bag over her shoulder. “That’s what you meant, right? It’s been way too long since we’ve all hung out together.”

A small furrow formed between his brows. That was most definitely not what he had meant. He had meant just him and her... together. Sharing a sweetheart's ice cream on a date where he could confess his true feelings for her.

Adrien opened his mouth to tell her this when he felt her hand pat his shoulder lightly. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Adrien.” She gave him another sweet grin before sweeping out of the classroom, her best friend following after her with a gobsmacked expression on her face.

Suddenly, his despair at not being able to take her on a true date was wiped away as a goofy smile stretched across his lips. He raised his hand in a wave, calling after her rather dazedly, “See you tomorrow, Marinette.”

An arm was slugged across his shoulder as Nino snickered at him playfully, ruffling his hair. “My dude, you’ve got it so bad.”

“Shut up,” he muttered, even as his smile grew even larger. Tomorrow, he’d see her again tomorrow. And, if Adrien had his way, he’d see her every day after that too.
