#put your bets on what CN god is going to take his spot

How do you feel about Gorum dying?

-------

Ambivalent! A sentiment I feel that Paizo might share, and which may have guided the decision.

In my mind, he was one of the "safest" options to kill off; he's connected to no overarching storyline (with his faith's most recent in-story appearance involving his followers losing), has no particular big plots or far-reaching schemes I'm aware of, and most damningly he doesn't have a web of relationships like many of the other gods (and as of 2e Gods and Magic, his list of "allies" is empty), leaving few to mourn his fall in any particular way that will cause any of the other gods to change dramatically.

The results of him dying and spreading Mythic power all over the world will do more to change the setting than the fact he died; there's almost none who will put flowers on his grave, yet the new vacancy among the core gods and his titanic inheritance will most assuredly cause a stir. I almost feel bad for Our Lord in Iron, but I'm sure, in some fashion, he would be proud to know that his death is going to cause a cosmic war!

Miraculous Headcanon

Warning: i have been adding to this headcanon for nearly a month so it is pretty long xD OOPS SORRY NOT SORRY (i did put a cut though, so, yeah) NO REGRETS

Marinette is a youtuber

Her channel consists of mostly sped up videos of her drawing designs and making her designs. Some have voice over, some have soothing and relaxing music.

Her channel blew up

Partially because, wow, she’s really talented for only being in high school

And people just really enjoyed watching her work, it’s very unique

Sometimes she’ll do simple tutorials on how to make a simple skirt, or get started on designing, but those are more rare videos

She has a second channel that is less professional than her main, where she posts a bunch of random vlogs that her and Alya take whenever they do something interesting, or even some random challenges. Most of these videos involve Alya, since she got Marinette to make a second channel for fun vlogs

Her international followers (#subtitles) find it very interesting anytime she talks about Ladybug and Chat Noir because there are legit superheroes in Paris and no other part of the world has seen that.

They vlog all sorts of things

going to the craft store for new fabrics, buttons, patterns, literally anything Marinette needs for her next project (or they’re just bored)

They record random things they see around Paris, cosplayers of LB and CN, pigeons being weird, aesthetics

Alya and Marinette have a weekly “review” which includes Alya buying something for Marinette to review- mostly themed around her favorite heroes

Sometimes just walking around the mall. Nino is spotted in many vlogs as well, but Adrien is rarely seen since he is already around so many cameras in his normal life Marinette is respecting his privacy

A lot more below the cut because I have been working on this headcanon for nearly a month!

Alya gets her to do challenges too

“What’s in my sketchbook?”

“Drawings from when I was a kid (thanks mama)”

“How well do Alya and I know each other?”

“Am I more Ladybug or Chat Noir?” -definitely alya’s idea

So Marinette has to juggle school two youtube channels, and saving Paris sometimes every other day.

She finds it really funny when Chat Noir talks to Ladybug about how much he enjoyed Marinette’s channel, but she can’t thank him.

“She’s so talented, Bug!”

“I WATCHED HE SKETCHBOOK VIDEO AND THERE ARE SOME BASED OFF ME. SHE IS THE BEST.”

“The music she uses is so relaxing.”

One day, Marinette is at lunch with her friends and pulls out her camera when Alya and Nino start debating who is better- Ladybug or Chat Noir

“She’s the one who makes everything go back to normal after!”

“But Chat Noir can destroy something and take out the akuma all together!”

“She purifies it so we don’t have a Stoneheart incident again!”

“Adrien, please tell me you’re on my side here. Chat Noir is the best, right?”

“Personally, I’m a Ladybug fan, you should really know that by now.”

“How could you do this to me?”

Cue alya celebrating she has Adrien on her side, but pouting when Marinette sides with Nino.

“Sure, Ladybug can purify the akuma and turn everything back to normal, but she would be nothing without Chat Noir,” ADRIEN BLUSHES AT MARINETTE TALKING ABOUT CHAT

Naturally, the video is titled something along the lines “#teamLB or #teamCN?” and most of the vlog is the debate between Alya and Nino

But her fanbase flips the frick out when they see Adrien there because he’s the model of Gabriel! Adrien Agreste! like of course they know him Gabriel is all over the world so of course so is Adrien’s face

Her followers want her to collab with him

And she’s very wary at first because he could say no and she finally got over the stuttering around him

but she asks him anyway

and he is all for it! Little fangirl Adrien is so excited to be in a video.

They do a video for her main channel, since that’s what the comments begged for, where they did a design challenge. They both had a design prompt, then had to draw a sketch of what they thought would fit it. 

Adrien should stick to his day job of being a model

he cannot draw for the life of him

Then a few days later they do a challenge for her second channel- it was a tag that Alya said would be perfect for them

“If we were dating TAG” because Alya keeps telling them how much she ships them…and after that video on her main channel and the banter between the two of them…they were shipped

“If we were dating, where would we spend the most time together?”

“oh my god we would spend so much time at the bakery, her parents make the best sweets” and adrien was practically drooling in his answer

“If we were dating who would be the one person you would let them break up with you for?”

Adrien just so quickly “Chat Noir. That’s it.”

“HA, i was going to say Ladybug for you.”

and it’s just really sweet

and there is so much cuteness

and marinette ends the video off “next time we do a video i think we should record us playing our favorite video game”

“PLEASE”

Naturally, Chat Noir is freaking out over the video the day it is posted, which is also a patrol day, and he is just so happy

“What, do you like her?”

“She’s the best, Bugaboo, and this video just makes me so happy.”

“It’s about if her and Adrien Agreste were dating?”

“IT’S ADORABLE!”

Ladybug is suspicious why he’s so excited about this but doesn’t say anything because who knows what it could lead to

Weeks pass and more videos come out, Adrien starting to be a reoccurring member of her youtube community

Somehow, someone saw Marinette and Adrien detransform after a fight (so they ran out of time) and got  a video. It went viral. 

“We’re all shocked! The model and son of Gabriel Agreste is one of the heroes protecting us! And, even more surprising, the successful Youtuber Marinette Dupain-Cheng is the Ladybug protecter! Who would have thought that pair would be the heroes we all know and love?”

People thought it was even better that they were friends behind the masks too

There is no escape for Marinette. She was hoping that she could go on youtube and all would be normal, but she can’t post a single video, tweet, or instagram without a million comments about her alter ego

So she decides that she will do one video answering some questions about Ladybug then she would never bring it onto youtube again, and everything would go back to how it used to be.

Her tweet reads “I will be doing a q&a for Ladybug. One video, then I’m leaving her off my youtube. You have a few hours to send your questions to #askmari before I film the video.”

She never imagined this would be a video she would have to film

She never wanted this to be a video she would have to film

She never wanted her identity to be out there

At least her friends and family were supportive

She had barely talked to Adrien since the big reveal, and was worried this would ruin their friendship

But Adrien sees the tweet

“she shouldn’t have to do this alone”

Adrien bolts over to the bakery and Sabine and Tom are actually very pleased to see him, maybe seeing him would help her go back to her happy self if they talked

He rushed upstairs and got there right as she set up the camera in her room

“What are you doing here?”

“I was hoping you’d let me answer questions with you, I know how hard it could be.”

“I…honestly would love that.”

Marinette is so scared to film the video she feels like she’s going to throw up

She’s shaking very badly

But Adrien grabs her hand and reminds her he is there for her and that once this video is over, she never has to tell anyone anything else if she doesn’t want to

He also reminds her that she doesn’t even have to do this if she doesn’t want to or doesn’t feel comfortable

“No, I think I owe them something. I really want all the comments to lessen,” She decides, and starts the video

“Hey guys, I’m Marinette,” She starts. “And Adrien is here with me too. If you saw my tweet earlier, or read the title of the video, then you’ll know I’m doing a q&a for my alter ego, Ladybug, thanks to the transformation video that went viral a while ago.”

“I’m here to answer and moral support,” Adrien budds in and takes her phone to read some questions. He reminds her that she doesn’t have to answer everything and they both know there are some things that should be left a secret (kwamis)

“When did you become Ladybug?”

“The first day of grade 10″

“Why did you keep it a secret?”

“Hawkmoth is dangerous. If he knows who we are, who knows what he could do? He could target loved ones, or even come after me when I’m not Ladybug.”

“Did anyone know? Did Chat know?”

Adrien answered that one. “No, no one knew. And from our first day together, she said we wouldn’t tell each other. Safety reasons.”

“How do you turn into Ladybug?”

“I’ve said it to a few akumas, and it’s all I’ll ever say: magic.”

The video continues on to ask vague questions about the job and how she balances everything to more specifics in some attacks. (Dark cupid kiss did come up, cue blushes on both teenagers)

By the end of the video, Marinette looks like she’s going to cry. Adrien quickly gives her a hug and reminds her everything is going to be okay. She leaves it in the final cut. 

Adrien speaks before she ends the video. “I bet Hawkmoth is happy this happened, and thinks he has an upperhand. But guess what, Hawkmoth? Once we get over this obstacle, we will be even stronger. And we will be coming for you.”

“Thank you so much for watching, and that’s ends out talk about Ladybug and Chat Noir.” And the video ends with a cut to advertise her other social medias

Marinette is so thankful Adrien was there for the video

And he was right…their relationship grew even stronger

And they were ready to take on Hawkmoth head on.
