#reverse bubble chat

[microwavetoaster-selfships]

I think I perhaps do it to myself more than I do it outloud but I often make comparisons between me and my F/Os and Sherlock and Watson(specifically the BBC one) in the sense that, to make a long story short, everyone who has met Sherlock has dubbed him a weirdo or strange and typically keep a 6ft pole between him and themselves, except for Watson. Watson is all enamored and oddly intruiged about him and interested in him and is there for Sherlock for more than just his detective abilities. And normally I make that comparison in the magical world where Sherlock and Watson end up together of course. But NOW I made the rather sadder Sherlock and Watson comparison between me and. The Doctor. In the sense that in the show Sherlock spends a lot of time watching Watson go on different dates and hook-ups and attempts at partners and eventually Sherlock attends a wedding that John has with someone and even though Sherlock is so beyond mind-blown that he is someone's best man(and therefor their best friend) it proceeds to be one of the few episodes where he is very distinctly upset especially at the ending. There's even a whole thing about Watson moves out of the flat he shares with Sherlock and Sherlock miserably stares at the chair Watson used to sit in and even moves it away at some point because Watson is married now, off to live with his wife(and eventually have a kid), and that means Sherlock in a sense, is back on his own. Or more on his own that he used to be because he knows he's going to partially lose something that means so much to him.

heartstrings. | wonbin park.

044. be yours. (written portion)

“What’s the ETA for the others?” Wonbin asks you distractedly, turning into the parking lot of the release party’s nice venue.

You grab his phone to check, noticing all of your friends already at the location you’re now pulling into. 

“Looks like we’re the latest.” You say with amusement.

“Oh so now they want to be timely, huh?” 

You laugh, kissing your boyfriend’s cheek as he focuses on reversing into a spot. “You’re just mad because I didn’t let you delay us any further at mine. You can’t be late to your own party, you know.” 

Bin playfully rolls his eyes. 

“Well, I’ll have my way with you later then,” He pecks your lips after parking, eyes full of love, “Ready?”

“Yes, let’s do it.” 

You both exit the car, heading into the function. There’s a person to take your jacket at the door, and then Wonbin leads you in with a gentle hand on your waist. You’re looking around, searching for a familiar face and becoming nervous with the amount of influential people in the room. 

Of course, you knew Wonbin working for a very successful music label would warrant this type of crowd. It didn’t ease your anxieties about not fitting in as his plus-one though. 

Your boyfriend is quite well-known and is congratulated on his work as he revolves around the room, kindly introducing you to many people you’ve already forgotten the name of. You can’t make eye contact with artists you actually recognize, knowing the stress of being caught like a weirdo gawking would make your worries worse. 

After a small pause in chatting to people, Bin catches your eyes, stilling you. “What’s wrong, baby? Nervous?”

“A little. I just feel like I don’t fit in here.” You breathe out, still scanning the room. 

He pinches your chin, a small smile on his lips. “Love, you are perfect just the way you are. And you look beautiful, don’t worry about anything.” 

You nod, making an effort to believe him before your lips tucking into your mouth, gaze catching on someone over Wonbin’s shoulder. Your head immediately turns in surprise, mouth dropping with eyes wide. 

“Bin… you did not tell me Jay would be here.”

Wonbin makes a similar face to you, catching your ex across the room when he subtly turns. “Well… shit. I shouldn’t be surprised. Any producer with good connections would be here right now.” 

“Yikes…” You whisper, avoiding eye contact with him, “This is awkward, him seeing us here together. Especially after my last run-in with him.” 

Bin grins down at you, humor spreading on his expression. “Not any more awkward than my ex about to approach us.” 

“What?” You seethe out, about to whip around but Bin holds your elbow still. 

“Congratulations, Binnie,” Yujin slides in slyly, raising a glass of champagne with a saccharine voice. 

Wonbin belatedly reacts, choosing not to clink his nursing glass to hers, “To you as well.” 

She hums at his short response, her eyes going over to his arm over your form. “YN! Surprised to see you again! You look beautiful.” 

Internally, you’re bubbling with spite at the back-handed comment but know putting on an unbothered face is better for the situation. Wonbin opens his mouth to interrupt and put her in her place but you just grip his arm tighter to stop him.

“You look gorgeous as well.” 

“Thanks! There’s lots of friends and family around. A bunch of cool artists too. Let me know if you want me to introduce you to anyone.” 

You only nod, hopefully this woman would get the hint you don’t fuck with her. Yujin continues to hold Wonbin capture in conversation, promptly ignoring you. You would continue to be bothered by it but you notice Jurin and Anton’s figures from across the room. 

You thank the higher powers above, excusing yourself with Wonbin reluctantly letting his hold on you go when you gesture to them across the room. His subtle face of being betrayed and left alone makes you laugh a little as you walk away, knowing he’d be whining about it later. 

You’re grateful for the reprieve, taking a deep breath to grab another flute of champagne. Jurin and Anton give hugs in greeting, gesturing grandly behind them at the big table of appetizers. 

“Oh thank goodness there’s food. I need to stress eat.” You giggle, beginning to make a small plate for yourself. 

“You’re not alone. Hannie’s stuffing his face in the corner.” Tonie points to your mutual friend, doing said thing while conversing with someone. 

“What’s he to be worried about? I’m stressed because I just met Ravyn Lenae. He’s practically rubbing shoulders with celebrities on a daily basis.” “You’re dramatic,” Jurin rolls her eyes, “It’s because he spotted Gaeul here as Yujin’s plus one. He’s more eating away his angry words.” 

“Oh, don’t remind me,” You shove a cracker in your mouth, “I just abandoned Binnie in Yujin’s company. I can’t stand her fake politeness, knowing she’s tried to get back with him whilst knowing my existence.” 

“Are you going to say anything to her? Heard she’s been flirting with your man.” Tonie teasingly sings, bumping your shoulder. 

“No, why would I? If he was that easy to steal, she could go ahead. Besides, I’m pretty confident Wonbin despises her more than I do at this point.” 

You lead their gaze to your boyfriend afar, his expression bordering on full annoyance. 

“Way for the tides to change. I don’t know why I ever told that girl Wonbin was single.” Jurin murmurs, taking a big sip of her drink. 

“You could say the same about Gaeul and Hannie,” Tonie mumbles, “Speaking of, who did our charming boy come with?”

Instantly, a smug smile grows on you and Jurin’s faces, contributing to Anton’s confusion. 

“Oh, you’re gonna get a kick out of this.” You laugh.

As if on cue, Sohee appears exiting a hallway from the bathroom. Your co-worker is dressed impeccably, seeing as you’ve never seen your friend attend an occasion in a suit. He approaches his date, throwing an arm over Seunghan’s shoulder with a silly smile and a whisper in his friend’s ear. 

The two are clearly here for a little prank, teasing Gaeul by the bar who keeps looking over to the two, a mix of bewilderment and shock written in her body language. 

Anton is cracking up, almost spilling his drink all over the floor. You and Jurin join in when Sohee and Hannie purposefully kiss each other’s cheek to really sell this whole joke of them being together. Anyone that knows them well enough can read through all this to see Sohee is hating every second under his breath.

“And I thought Channie was the worst when committing to bits. This is another level.” Jurin sighs out, holding her stomach from laughing too much. 

“I think they should kiss on the lips to really sell it.” You smirk, hiding your expression behind your flute of champagne. 

Sohee finally notices your arrival, quickly tugging Seunghan up from his seat and bidding goodbye to their company. 

“Surprise, surprise.” Sohee sings, dapping up Tonie.

“He is way too giddy to be here right now.” Hannie mumbles, shaking his head. 

Jurin tugs on Hannie’s arm to toss it over Sohee’s shoulder, “C’mon boys! Really give off boyfriend vibes right now.” “I was just saying earlier, I think you two need to kiss to sell it.” You squint at the two, shoving at Sohee. 

Hannie purses his lips, about to lean in but the latter panics, jerking away like he’s about to touch fire. 

“Too much, man! God, the things I do to get a glimpse at PinkPantheress…”

“Aw, you’re not just here for me? I’m hurt…” Hannie pouts in joking.

“Did you see a while back that Channie tagged Yujin and Gaeul on one of your dumbass tweets?” Tonie mentions with humor. 

Hannie only shrugs, clearly unbothered. “Meh. On the topic of exes, I saw He Who Must Not Be Named wandering around earlier.” 

“Ah, Jay?” Jurin raises a perfect brow at, “Is that why he’s floating around us like Casper the Ghost?” 

You finally notice his presence, lost as to what his deal was. At your observance, he finally comes over.

“Having a good time, everyone?” He asks politely, everyone putting on a nice expression at his bravery to walk over. 

Multiple of you reply with meek responses, Jay and Seunghan starting to converse about their work. Sneaking up, Sion scares Jurin from behind, forcing the latter to slap him on instinct. 

“Where have you been?” Tonie urgently whispers. You’re lost as to why he’s so concerned and it shows his face.

“ He’s my plus one. Juria rejected the poor guy. Sion answers your silent question, promptly ignoring his best friend’s question. 

“I did not get rejected. She said no because we’re not together and that it would’ve been weird if I brought her along.”

“Oh really?” Sion purses his lips, “That’s news to me! What have you two hooligans been doing anyway? Lollygagging about, toeing between the lines of dating and not?” 

“You’re insufferable. Leave the two alone.” You muse, heavily entertained at Sion’s confrontation while you lean on his shoulder.

“What? Aren’t you curious too?” Sion peeks down at you, “These two will give me an aneurysm by age 30.” 

“Mind your own business. Besides, I’d wait for a millenia for her if need be.” Anton shrugs, his true feelings reflecting through with the big grin on his cheeks.

“Impossible to mind my business given the nature of this friend group. And by the way, you’re a lovesick loser.” Sion simply states. You nod to back him up, Anton’s eyes going between you two with blinking eyes. 

“Now I understand why Wonbin tries to keep you two apart.” 

“Ridiculous. My Binnie poo would never try to separate me from my twin.” Sion gasps. 

Seunghan and Jay have stopped talking, the latter interrupting your guys’ discussion to speak to you. 

“YN! How have you been?” 

Taken aback on his confidence to speak to you, you give a small smile, lost on how to respond. 

“... Good! How about you?” 

“Been doing alright. Hope you’ve been well since the last time I saw you.” 

Your jaw shifts, nodding deliberately slowly. “Right… yes. I’ve been doing great.”

“Oh, she has been.” 

Wonbin comes up from behind, a fake smile plastered on his features following his words. He kisses your cheek to send a message. 

“Happy to see you again, Jay.”

He doesn’t respond, making strong eye contact with Wonbin before decidingly walking away. Jurin whistles low, shoving at Binnie’s shoulder after. 

“You are heartless.”

“I’m actually curious,” You chirp, smiling softly up to your boyfriend, “What did you say to him last time?”

“Well, he asked me how I knew you,” Wonbin notes, curling a piece of hair behind your ear softly, “And I told him that we’re talking. He accused me of playing with your heartstrings, given my reputation.”

You scoff. “That’s rich of him.” 

“Exactly. I said I’d treat you better than he ever would, and the next time we’d meet, I’d be yours.”

You roll your eyes at his confidence. “You’re lucky you’re right, you know? Otherwise your next run-in with him would’ve been really embarrassing for you.”

“I am very lucky.” 

“Get a room, you two!” Sohee squawks, pretending to gag. 

Bin simply grabs a cracker from your plate and eats it, a smug smile on his lips. “God forbid a man appreciate his amazing catch of a girlfriend.” 

“Boo!” Sohee moans, throwing up a big thumbs-down towards the both of you until Hannie wrangles him in by the neck. “Why are you jealous? Your amazing boyfriend is right here!” Hannie giggles, forcing him closer for another kiss on the cheek. 

Sohee only bares his teeth and accepts his fate. “I refuse to be humiliated like this ever again.”

You all laugh, enjoying each other’s company. As everyone converses, your anxieties lessen, and you know you should be thanking the man by your side. Looking up to Wonbin, he’s grinning while listening to your mutual friends. 

He’s practically radiant, glowing compared to everyone else in the room and a sense of pride in his accomplishments grows in your chest. Many other people have worked hard alongside him here but you’ve seen Wonbin’s dedication the most. 

You tuck into his side more, giving your lover a tight squeeze. He glances down to you, as always, noticing your shift in mood and grinning. 

“You okay, pretty?”

“By your side? Always.”

[dailyfigures]

Unpopular opinion: I hate hate HATE loli figures. idc if people collect them because they’re ‘cute’ it’s still weird asf imo, there are so many other and much cuter figures. It disgusts me how popular and normalized they are among the anime community.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

oh god anon allow me to specifically rant about one of my worst pet peeves. i used to see this mostly on tiktok when i still had the app, but i've seen it happen on most social media.

it really grinds my gears when people own a suggestive/nsfw figure of a minor, and then accuse anyone who dares to say something about it of sexualising children. if you want to own figures of a child/teenager in lingerie, i'm really not a fan of that but at least own up to it. don't act like everyone else is weird when you own a figure made with a certain intention and refuse to admit it.

maybe it helps to give an example; i saw someone on tiktok own a figure of ram from re:zero in lingerie, on hands and knees with an arched back. i think ram is 17 and later in the series an adult, arguebly not the worst figure ever but i can imagine people finding it a little weird. op started accusing everyone who made a comment about the figure by pulling an uno reverse and going "wow....how deeply SICK of YOU to see a child and make it sexual....i would NEVER see her like that.....". ok good for you but i can assure you that was the intention the figure was made with, the target audience is adult men and it's strange to deny this. they even claimed that it was fine because "everyone who collects ram is sapphic anyway" i can assure you that is not true 😭😭 this is very much a case of being in your little online gay bubble and thinking the whole world is the same as you. the target audience of all (female) suggestive/nsfw figures is simply straight men. i'm not saying it's the only people who can own them, but it is who the companies have in mind when producing the figures and it is the largest part of the market. it reminds me a bit of when kpop stans think only gay 17 year olds stan their favourite girl group and then you watch a perfomance where the crowd cheering isn't filtered out and it's all 40 year old men. i'm not stoked about it either, but it is simply the truth.

ofcourse i've seen people reaching, it does happen on tiktok that people get overly sensitive/woke/whatever and blindly hate anyone who collects normal nsfw figures or anyone else who didn't do anything wrong. not every tiktok comment section is filled with the brightest minds of our generation (shocker, i know). i do however think it's a common thing, even with real life children, where people try to question something inappropriate and somehow get the blame. i saw this happen when mothers thought it was strange that target sells swimsuits for babies/toddlers with hip cut outs, and then people accusing said moms of being the weird ones for "thinking a children's swim suit is sexual". guys am i losing my mind. am i going crazy. the concerned mothers are not the problem here for pointing out a weird thing. why in god's name were the swim suits designed like that. can we get an ounce of critical thinking in the chat.

AND ANOTHER THING! sorry guys this is like 5 years of built up irritation you have to let me go for a moment. anyway LOOK at this same shit i saw yesterday. i will not share the video but it was a video of very young middle school girls wearing heavy (gyaru?) makeup, fashion, wigs and nails which was honestly already a bit baffling because it was so much on such young kids. they were all wearing that fashion trend where you wear low rise pants/skirt and then pull up your thong strings to the high heavens so they're on your hips and sticking out off your pants/skirt. not a trend i usually mind but these were very young girls and the whole look, the visible underwear especially, was very inappropriate for their age so people in the comments were uncomfortable. i took one single peak at the comments and had to leave for my own sanity. you guys cannot be serious.

and let me get this very clear: i have also seen people sexualise children doing normal things many times. both extremes are a problem. i think it's fucking weird to sexualise a child giving their parents a kiss or telling a child they shouldn't wear their bathing suit around their male family members, etc. however it is ALSO fucking weird for children to do/wear things that were specifically made for adults doing adult things (like wearing visible lacy thongs when you're in middle school) and no adult stepping in for the child's own safety. both things are weird and i hope everyone dies. anyway what were you saying anon? ah right, no i don't like loli figures either. not a fan.

send me your unpopular figure opinions

[misc-obeyme]

nightbringer lesson 44

OH. OKAY. I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS.

I'm still gonna try to keep it brief but woooooooo here I go! Spoilers below!

Okay, so biggest thing I picked up from this lesson was that Solomon's soul is not in his body. Right? Right?? Everybody else got that, too, right!??! Tell me I'm not insane. More on this later.

So we spent the whole lesson in Babel, where apparently you get to have a "moment of bliss" where stuff happens that makes you incredibly happy.

It starts out with everybody telling Asmo how they really feel about him, which is of course that he's beautiful and kind.

Then everybody ends up in TSL cosplay and Levi info dumps for several speech bubbles. (It's pretty adorable aldksjf.)

Then a ton of cats show up and Satan loses his mind. (But the cats also cuddle with everybody else because Satan's happiest when he sees cats cuddling with his family, the two things he loves in one place~)

Then everybody disappears because Mammon's moment of bliss is to be alone with MC (he's so bbg I can't take it). (Oh but I do feel the need to mention that everybody else was still there, they were just invisible which is SUPER CREEPY. Like c'mon MC was having such a cute moment with their first man...)

And THEN a bunch of food shows up and we think it's Beel's moment of bliss, but it's actually Belphie's because the twins are so close that Belphie is happiest when Beel is happy.

And then it like reverses and we have Belphie napping and all the boys in angel outfits, but it's actually Beel's moment. And they talk about this time they remember Raphael unleashing his spears on Mammon in the CR. And like then they feel guilty 'cause Satan doesn't have those memories but then:

Satan saw everything from inside Lucifer? CONFIRMED. And Lucifer was aware of it, too.

And then everybody's like what was Lucifer's moment of bliss? And they're dumb about it, but MC is like Lucifer's moment of bliss was this entire experience because he's happiest when his family is happy. D'AWW very precious but also kinda meh, imo.

Then Raphael comes back, but it's really him this time yay!

And THAT is when we find out that only your SOUL is transported to Babel. Everybody's physical body was left behind.

And I was IMMEDIATELY like oh. So THAT is why Solomon couldn't go inside. His soul is elsewhere. I don't think he's soulless, I think he's immortal because his soul is being stored somewhere that isn't his body. THOUGH it would also be interesting if Nightbringer was like... Solomon's soul gone rogue al;kjdsfjdf. But I don't think that's the case.

I think they're using this as a way to explain why people so often say that Solomon is more like a demon. Even though we also got this:

Hmm. Indeed. Solomon is NOT a demon. They were mad at him for not mentioning the thing about only your soul going into Babel.

Anyway, that's my theory and it's the only thing that makes sense to me though I have no idea what it has to do with anything.

I also thought it was interesting that Raphael is now part of the Brothers No More chat group with Simeon and Lucifer. I hope this means we'll get more of him!

And then this from the hard lesson because wow I hope this isn't just No 2 exaggerating.

LOL. You want to return something? BURIED ALIVE. That's so Devildom it's amazing.

Anyway, there were plenty of cute family moments in this lesson, but the potential hint about Solomon was the biggest deal, imo. What does it mean? I could be misinterpreting and maybe that isn't the issue at all? Maybe it's like... there's something wrong with his soul and removing it from his body would either expose something about him that he doesn't want the others to know or would like harm it further and put his life in danger? I dunno. He is still immortal, so.

My first thought was soul is elsewhere, but I do think having it like... reveal something about him unexpectedly would be interesting, too, now that I'm thinking about it.

I dunno, what do you guys think?

masterlist | Thank you for reading!

God I am so tired of Bramble fans who refuse to use critical thinking and believe that brambleclaw and squilf are equally bad. Many also hate on moonkitti's video which they most likely haven't even watched or misconstrued points in it. You can like a character without defending all their actions please I'm begging you

And people will sometimes jump to their defense, saying that people just dogpiled them for liking a character the fandom doesn't like, and while that can happen, sometimes people are actually dogpiling them for ignoring abuse and insulting creators with different opinions

(Some discourse happened on Twitter recently about this but it's something I've seen happen before, I'm not specifically talking about anyone)

I'm going to be honest and drop my feelings.

Never have I ever actually SEEN a Bramblefan "get dogpiled" for liking Bramble.

I come out here on my massive soapbox every couple of weeks and drop whole essays on this guy, I chat casually about how important he is to me as a character, both as someone who was abused in a way similar to Squirrelflight AND as someone who can relate to Bramblestar's situation, and before BB got so large and my attention was easier to divide I even ran an AU called Sweet Nothings which had a "big brother" Bramble take in it.

There is no shortage of Bramblestar-related posts around here, yet, I have never, NEVER gotten shit for when I talk positively about Bramble.

In fact, he's commonly cited as one of the favorite cats to see on this blog from my audience. I get praise for addressing him with nuance, explaining how his actions are abuse while also keeping him human, talking about how his life is a painful cycle of self-doubt that makes him double down on his worst decisions. Every time I post about him, I get an influx of comments centered around how my takes on him are appreciated.

What I DO see is people who make art where they try to bothsides him and Squirrelflight, or say something completely false about his behavior, or straightup post DARVO tactics to defend their fav's honor. When someone makes a comment that goes "uhmm? Bit strange innit?" they call it "harassment." Or when people block them, they call that "receiving hate."

OR when someone makes a vaguepost like "Heyyy, DARVO is an abuse denial tactic where the abuser or their apologists Deny the abuse took place, Attack the accuser, and then Reverse Victim and Offender to claim they were actually the person harmed. Bramblestans are playing this out, step for step, and that's bad!" they call THAT dogpiling.

Meanwhile Moonkitti got death threats and was actually harassed for posting Bramblestar Is Worse. To the point where she is hesitant to ever make another video on the topic.

So y'know what? Hot take? The stans don't actually like Bramblestar. They like the vague idea of a sadboy character who broke free from his dad's legacy so they slurp up the framing of the notorious abuse apologist writers, and they get mad when people who have critically engaged with the books don't see what they desperately crave.

How can you really LIKE a character if you can't engage with their actions? If you need to surround yourself in an unpoppable bubble and can't accept anything he's done in the 20+ years he's been active? How can you truly love a man without all his mistakes?

It's sooo hard to be me, Tumblr User Bonefall, the ONLY one who likes Bramblestar correctly. It's rough out here.

I'm incredibly excited to finally share with you a teaser for my upcoming fic and entry to this year's MLB Big Bang! @mlbigbang2024

Summary: 

A routine akuma attack takes a potentially deadly turn when Chat Noir attacks Ladybug instead; his strange, non-responsive behavior rattles her, and Ladybug quickly finds herself with her back against a wall and at his mercy. 

When Chat inexplicably flees, Ladybug begins a long and desperate search for her partner. Worried out of her mind and left with no clues to follow, she finally receives a distress call and dashes off to find him.

However, it’s not Chat Noir who shows up to meet her, but Catwalker, a mysterious hero she’d only met once, years ago. Ladybug’s heart sinks— where is Chat Noir? Why does Catwalker have his Miraculous? 

Catwalker, disheveled and in distress, insists that they’re in danger; Monarch has captured Chat Noir and intends to use him as a weapon, and claims he only narrowly escaped himself.

None of it makes sense— If Monarch has possession of the Black cat Miraculous, then how is Catwalker also wearing it? How could Chat Noir and Catwalker both be transformed at the same time?

Ladybug is baffled by his most outrageous claim yet; according to Catwalker, Chat Noir is a Sentibeing. As if that wasn’t shocking enough— he claims that he IS Chat Noir!

Teaser: Darting away from yet another launched attack, Ladybug ran for it, trying to put a safe distance between them. Now that the akuma had been dispatched and her cure activated, any damage that Chat doled out wouldn’t be reversible. That included any damage to herself, Chat Noir, or the city. She’d have to be careful.  Chat had crouched down on all fours now, keeping low to the ground and watching her. His eyes reflected the moonlight, but remained as cold as ice. Devoid of thought or awareness, like he was sleeping with his eyes open.  “What happened to you, Chaton?” she wondered aloud, more to herself than to him.  He abruptly sprang into action again, closing the distance between them with incredible speed and agility, and it took all of her focus just to avoid the Cataclysm still bubbling in his right hand. She found herself stepping back– and back– and back again, as his attacks grew fierce and fast. That was until– She hit a wall. Shit. Her eyes widened as his arms boxed her in, framing her body against the wall. His right hand flew faster than she could perceive, and Ladybug did just about the dumbest thing she could imagine.  She closed her eyes. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was the fear that had overwhelmed her; the fear for her life, or the fear of her partner’s cold, empty green eyes being the last thing she saw before her demise.  Whatever the reason, her breath caught painfully in her chest as she uttered a weak “Kitty…?” and waited for the final denouement of Ladybug.

A huge thank you and shoutout to my beta, @fandomofone and my artists, @amarilke and @ohwwhuvcreations, for helping me bring this fic to life! And to everyone in the MLB Big bang server who I've had the best time hanging out with! <3

my opinions and theories for miraculous season 6

(spoiler warning for those who haven seen it yet!!)

Season 6 is considered to be “a new beginning”, aside from being a new story arc. It is sometimes referred to by the writers as Season 1.

The “Maturity Change”:

Firstly, I’ve seen so many people say that they don’t like the new season because they feel like season 6 erased all the lore that seasons 3-5 built up to, and that the show has now become “for kids” or regressed from its maturity, but I feel like this sentiment is not entirely true.

Miraculous Ladybug is well known by its fans for how it’s grown with its audience. Over time it began to tackle more mature themes like child neglect, depression, suicidal thoughts/actions, SA, love and more that younger audiences aren’t necessarily expected to comprehend. By doing this, it retained its original audience as they grew into pre-teens/teens/adults.

A softer and more positive tone switch does not mean it lost its maturity. It makes sense. It doesn’t mean the show is back to being “for kids” (3-9). This is because Season 6 is supposed to be “a new beginning”— and a new arc. Just as season 1 was bubbly and easy to consume until more and more stuff went down with each every finale, season 6 may mimic that development tactic.

Plot Development:

There’s a new monarch and — once again although the tone not as tense as season 5 felt when Marinette lost all the miraculous— I feel like it’s building up to some sort of disaster like the siren before a hurricane or a dam breaking. Sure it’s likely slowly paced considering 15 episodes into the show the most groundbreaking event was Alya finding out only for her to soon forget, it took 5 seasons— 10 years— to finish the “Gabriel Agreste” era (and that was under a different writers direction).

Convoluted plots, character emotions, and story lines can’t be rushed in, especially if this is supposed to be like a “season 1.” Although I will admit I miss seeing stressed LB because it showed just how much she cared for being the protector of Paris — to a fault— I’m hoping that this decision [to not showcase stressed Mari nearly as much] will be built on later.

Besides there’s 9 confirmed seasons so stuff has to hit the fan eventually. Between Alya finding out about THE secret and LB going out of her way to make Alya forget, it’ll probably be brought up again with even more sour emotions.

There are a couple people who know LB’s identity, Felix, Luka, Alya and Kagami. Based on what happened with Luka, this may happen again in some shape or form. This means Felix and Kagami knowing will likely come up again, and CN may finally find out other people know LB’s secret identity (aside from Luka).

I’ve heard about a leak where Ladybug gets akumatized. Of course this is very up in the air and unsure on my end, but if it does happen, will it be a reversed Chat Blanc situation? People say they erased Marinette’s “angst” and “trauma,” but is it really scrapped? Or is it just being masked? If it is being masked, will she finally talk to Cat Noir (or the others that know her identity) about it? — this is all just hearsay and don’t take it seriously, but someone write a fic of this I’m begging

EDIT: the leak was fake, but it can still happen, after all we’ve seen Marinette get akumatized atleast 5 times and she’s still stressed (considering Hawkmoth’s dying wish and her losing the butterfly miraculous), now more than ever.

We already know Lila is a formidable enemy, unlike Hawkmoth who got defeated by a bunch of teens countless times and only finally got his wish 100+ episodes and 200+ battles later. She even has (almost) the whole class under her spell and multiple disguises. (And multiple parents, seriously it’s giving No Good Nick.)

We already know Cat Noir doesn’t know about what happened with Hawkmoth, and since LB doesn’t know that CN is Adrien, she may be more inclined to tell him thinking “Adrien won’t know!” This is a direct road to mistrust (much like every other time Cat Noir hasn’t trusted Ladybug and her secrets). Infact, there is a lot that Cat Noir doesn’t know. Seasons 6-10 will likely dive into that.

Marc and Nathaniel have revealed their secret identities to each other, much like Alya and Nino. Alya and Nino knowing each others identities lead to animosity between some characters and lead to the reveal which endangered the superheroes plan “season finale”. After experiencing Chat Blanc “season 3 episode 22”, Ladybug became well aware of the dangers that comes with knowing each others secret identities and it struck a fear in her for Cat Noir to know who she truly is and for any superhero to get akumatized. Meanwhile, Ladybug’s love for Adrien lead her to take a huge risk, and resulted with trouble Marinette’s grappling with the losses of the miraculous. She blamed it all on love and lead to her (temporarily) abandoning her love her Adrien. All of this likely leaves Marinette feeling negatively towards anyone of the miraculous holders spilling their identities in fear of a repeat of past events. Overall, because of past experiences Ladybug may react negatively to Marc and Nathaniel having spilled each other’s identities.

This is a minor observation but it’s hinted at many times in the series and I hope they grow on it. I also like talking about it. Adrien’s passion is being Cat Noir. Cat Noir is Adrien’s truest from, while Ladybug is Marinette’s fakest. While Ladybug, she had to put on a confident persona, hide things to protect herself and others, become someone she never thought she could be, and lie to all of Paris. She puts so much into being the holder and guardian of the miraculous and it has tied her down. Being relieved of it (even temporarily) in “Kawami’s choice” changed her for the better. Meanwhile, Adrien enjoys being Cat Noir. His biggest fear as Adrien Agreste is was being imprisoned in his own room. When he’s Cat Noir, he sneaks out through the window. This is a metaphor that as Cat Noir he has what he craves most, freedom. He can finally escape the restrictive environment of being Adrien. He always did what he was told, as a sentimonster “season 5, adoration” and a son (it’s revealed that he always wanted to be whatever his parents said in “wishmaker”). In season 6 Marinette worried about finding a passion for Adrien but in the same episode Adrien discovers that his passion is freedom. He loved saving Paris as Cat Noir. However, If he ever learns that he was going against his own father as Cat Noir this entire time, if he ever realizes he cataclysmed his own father, that would break him. He would blame himself for his fathers death and fear his own power that once freed him. This is why Adrien can never know who his father was.

Marinette entrusted Alya to be the next guardian of the miraculous incase something happens to her. This is extreme foreshadowing, after all everything happens for a reason (other than Chloe’s scrapped redemption arc). Marinette has been shown to take rather extreme and creative preventative measures “Season 5 Episode 3, Destruction” when it comes to guarding her secret identity and the miraculous and they have come into play. I fear this may be in the case she is forced to resign knowledge of the miraculous like Master Fu was “Season 3 Finale, Miracle Queen” or her identity is exposed.

The redesigns.

I can’t say much about this since it’s subjective, but it was a very intentional decision which adds to the idea that this is “a new beginning.” Everyone’s new outfits are more individualized, however it is my humble personal opinion that even though some characters were… butchered, Caprikid’s new design was a genius innovation.

The animation.

I’ve seen a lot of people complain about the animation. Here’s my view on it:

it’s not the animation quality that’s the problem. Seriously, I just love to be able to count each and every stray hair strand on Nathaniel’s head! But all jokes aside it’s higher quality and more fluid. This means better anatomy, less stiff Marinette hair, and less bald Adrien memes (unfortunately).

The unique animation style and artstyle is what many people miss however. The cartoon-like actions whenever Marinette would panic, the facial expressions of pure shock, the BSD fisheyes whenever Hawkmoth found out his son was CN in the other universes, the dramatic screen caps when everything around a character would turn a different color. It’s true we haven’t seen all of the season and this is just the beginning of a new era, so it may be too quick to judge, but I definitely get how the old animation style would be more missed.

The new art style looks like copy and paste Disney, which is pretty uncool considering the old art style was kind of divergent from other Disney art styles. The characters look more childlike because of the new style as well which is pretty confusing. Yes they are children, but 10 months has passed from season 1 to 6 and they look even younger than at first? It’s cute but off putting to many original fans. Personally, the old artstyle holds a special place in my heart and will be missed, but the new animation isn’t all that bad.

all this to say— don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Based off of what we have seen so far from Marinette entrusting Alya to be the next guardian “in case something happens”, Nahtalie being in some rich people council, and Lila being the new holder of the butterfly miraculous, this is just the beginning AND the calm before the storm — but these are just my predictions and interpretations.

[chocostrwberry]

Hey ! I love your au so I have a few questions

1-How is lady bug and Queen bee relationship? They get along ? Is Cloe gay for lady or do they keep the same dynamic ?

2-Will alya and Nino get to know Mari's secret identity?

This one is more like a head canon

Since the love square is reversed the episodes jus goes like Mari just living her daily life with her friends and having beff with Cloe while Adrian is the one who tries so hard to get closer to mari and her friends but thanks to Cloe he just ends with misunderstandings like the Bubble Gum one that make him look bad even having a bully reputation then akuma time for Adrian is less time round mari but freedom while mari is exited because she gets to be with chat but her flirting skill aren't the best

Ladybug and Queen Bee’s relationship is similar to canon!!

Chloe still looks up to Ladybug a lot, but her ego does get in the way of Ladybug’s plan, which makes her difficult to work with. Ladybug sees her more as a fan girl if anything. But Chat Noir has a soft spot for Queen Bee (she reminds him an awful lot of Chloe) so he tries to be patient with her.

Alya and Nino will get to know Ladybug’s secret identity.

Alya figures it out around the same time as Luka does because they both worked together to try and see if their theory about Marinette being Ladybug was true. Nino only finds out when she exposes her identity to the entirety of Paris because of Lila. (This is part of the finale for Season 3 of my au, so this is on the path to her sacrificing herself!!)

Chocoau Lore information/explanation below!

Also that head canon is EXTREMELY on point-

LIKE THATS MY AU’S DYNAMIC, BASICALLY AHASHDJDHA

Nice job anon!! 🌈🌈

TWENTYTHREE

Meanwhile…

You sat cross-legged on the old examination bed in Shoko’s lab, a warm mug of tea in your hands and the lingering scent of antiseptic in the air. The dull hum of the overhead lights mixed with the faint bubbling of a half-forgotten beaker on her worktable. Shoko leaned against the counter beside you, medical coat shrugged off and tied loosely around her waist, looking far too calm for someone surrounded by cursed remains.

"So," she started casually, lighting a cigarette like it was a ritual, "how's everything?"

You hesitated. The way she said it... it wasn’t just about health. It was her way of saying spill it.

You shifted slightly, lips pressing to the mug, eyes avoiding hers. "Something might have... happened."

Shoko paused mid-inhale and raised a brow. Then she held up one finger. “Don’t say another word.”

With practiced ease, she pulled out her phone and tapped away. One message. A group text.

Within seconds, her phone pinged back to life. Then yours did.

Group Chat: Girls' Emergency Conference (No Boys Allowed).

Mei Mei: On my way.

Utahime (Video Calling…)

You picked up, and the screen filled with Utahime’s face—half-covered in a sheet mask, hair wrapped in a towel.

“Thank the heavens I’m on break. What happened?” she said, eyes already gleaming with gossip-fueled concern.

You sighed, setting the mug aside and tucking your legs under you. “Okay, so… after my hangover wore off…”

Shoko leaned in with a smirk. Mei Mei’s unreadable, elegant voice chimed in through speakerphone, and Utahime raised a brow expectantly.

As you began recounting everything—the tension, the kisses, the lingering touches, the coffee mornings and kitchen teasing, Suguru’s thigh cage interrogation, Satoru’s goodbye, Nanami’s steamy neck kisses—each detail sent ripples of chaos through the call.

Shoko exhaled slowly and handed you a new cup of tea. “You need this more than I thought.”

Utahime practically yelled through the call, “You’re living in a damn romance novel! A smutty one at that!”

Mei Mei simply sipped something expensive and offered a single, entertained hum. “Continue.”

And so you did—cheeks hot, fingers fidgeting with your sleeve, half-regretful and half-elated as you relived each moment aloud.

Somewhat during the same time…

Suguru sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, papers and diagrams sprawled out before him. Nanako and Mimiko flanked him on either side, diligently reviewing their advanced cursed energy coursework. Though still technically fourth-grade jujutsu sorcerers, they were nearing graduation and had grown exponentially under the guidance of their mentors.

“This is the part we don’t get,” Nanako said, tapping a paragraph on layered domain amplification. “If we’re trying to manipulate the output without losing control, how do we stabilize the feedback loop when the cursed energy surges?”

Suguru arched a brow, impressed. “That’s advanced-level stuff. You sure you two aren’t skipping ahead again?”

Mimiko shrugged with a grin. “We’re still helping at the shelter, but once we graduate, we want to focus more on rescue and field control. We need to learn how to push our cursed techniques to keep people safe.”

“That, and Mei Mei said no one takes you seriously if you can’t make cursed energy bend like it owes you money,” Nanako added with a smirk.

Suguru chuckled softly. “Of course she did.”

He leaned forward, taking the diagram from Mimiko. “You’re thinking about the loop as a closed circuit. Try approaching it like a spiral—channel the surge outward in a circular release. It won’t overload your core that way, and it’ll give you time to redirect it.”

The twins absorbed his explanation, nodding along in concentration. But after a brief pause, Mimiko peeked up at him with a sly smile.

“So… Papa Geto…”

Suguru blinked. “You’re not starting this again.”

“Relax,” Nanako said, nudging him. “We just wanted to say—you’re still our papa. Even if you’re… shared.”

He sighed. “You two are supposed to be pure and innocent.”

Mimiko grinned. “We were. Until we started reading Panda’s young adult collection. He really leaves those things lying around.”

Suguru gave her a flat look. “Remind me to burn his bookshelf.”

“But seriously,” Nanako interjected, her voice softening, “we’re happy for you. And we’re not judging or anything. Just… don’t let the other papas forget we were your first priority.”

Suguru looked between them, heart swelling with fondness. “You two are really growing up.”

Mimiko grinned. “Don’t sound so surprised.”

Nanako leaned into his side. “Three papas. It’s like we’re royalty.”

“Brats,” he muttered affectionately.

“Your brats,” they chorused with bright smiles.

He ruffled their hair with one hand, the other already reaching for another diagram. “Alright, back to work. Let’s make sure you actually graduate before you start ruling anything.”

Back to you…

You spent your break exactly where you needed to be—at Shoko’s lab with Mei Mei and Shoko, while Utahime joined over video call. Between teasing Mei Mei about her "money first" motto, catching up on Shoko’s hectic shifts, and blushing as Utahime grilled you about your chaotic love life, laughter came easy. They howled when you shared the madness of loving three dangerous idiots, and for a while, the world outside didn’t matter.

But eventually, duty called. You gathered your things and made your way to the training grounds, where Maki, Panda, and Inumaki were already waiting for you. Maki twirled her weapon impatiently, Panda lounged like he had all the time in the world, and Inumaki gave you a polite nod as you arrived.

For the next thirty minutes, you led them through an intense discussion about advanced theories of cursed energy manipulation—how to maintain efficiency, how to shift techniques mid-battle, how to sense and control cursed energy flow outside the body. They listened intently, Maki especially sharp with her questions on how it can be used by someone like her.

Then came the real work: thirty minutes of practice. You moved among them, correcting Maki’s stance, adjusting Panda’s output, encouraging Inumaki to push the subtlety of his cursed speech control further. You barked commands, encouraged when needed, and kept the energy sharp and focused.

By the time the class wrapped up, you were just catching your breath when a messenger called you to Principal Yaga’s office. You arrived to find him waiting behind his desk, arms crossed thoughtfully.

"I have a request," Yaga said, his voice calm but carrying that familiar edge of authority. "I'd like you to work with Nanami on upcoming class trainings—specifically in teaching students how to control battle flow and optimize their physical movements in combat."

You agreed without hesitation, but as you left his office, a small knot of nerves twisted in your stomach. It wasn’t fear. You didn’t feel unsafe around Nanami—never had. It was something else entirely.

Nanami was intense. He had this way of looking at you—calculated, piercing, like he was reading you down to the very core. Sometimes it felt like he could devour you with just his eyes. Even now, just thinking about it made your heart hammer against your ribs. You shook your head and exhaled slowly, trying to calm yourself.

This was just training. Strictly professional... at least, that’s what you told yourself.

Step by step guide to redeeming your girlfriends

Plot, basically: Canon! Chloenette meets Reverse! Chloenette. Dedicated to @generalluxun ! Thank you for the motivation, I will now make them go through Scooby Doo levels of chasing and mystery solving (coughs identity reveal coughs)

Chapter One: Is it kidnapping if I thought we were dating?

The sky has visibly darkened during lunchtime. It wasn't the normal rainy sky though. People were scrambling to get inside or find cover as it was most likely an akuma attack. It was strange, however, that the signal never went off nor were there any explosions nearby. There wasn't even a ridiculously dressed villain with their monologue about getting revenge and obtaining the miraculous.

It was quiet. Suspiciously too quiet.

A bolt of lightning flashed on the darkened sky, the dark purple color leaving a web like structure in its path. Okay, that definitely was not normal.

Chloe was sure it was another Akuma and judging from the last one Ladybug and Chat Noir had to face, they were getting ridiculously more strong as time passes. Which doesn't worry her. After all, Ladybug never trusted her completely to wield another miraculous again so why give a damn about her anymore.

The world shook and she unconsciously switched on her TV to the news.

Nadja was reporting on the strange phenomenon currently happening while the purple lightning continued to flash and leave even more intricate patterns.

Chloe pursed her lips in thought. Ladybug had already enlisted a lot of new (temporary) heros since they faced off against Shadow Moth. She won't be outnumbered or lacking in minions if ever.

She sighed, frustration starting to bubble inside her, "Everything would be easier if she would just let me be Queen Bee!"

"You've got a point," a voice said from behind, "but Queen Bee is rather distracting during battles, 'no?"

Before she could scream at the sudden intrusion of a very familiar looking person, she was swept off her bed and was falling down from her balcony, a set of familiar and ridiculously strong arms wrapped around her securely.

Shit.

She was tapping her foot impatiently, the sound echoing against the room they were in. Claw was leaning by the wall, his knowing glance darting from her to the other occupant of the room who was very much unconscious.

"You scared the shit out of her. You have such a lame type in women," he casually tilted his head, narrowly avoiding a metal ball to his face. Rolling his eyes, he stretched out his muscles earning a disgusted sound from his partner and a laugh from him.

"Careful, your softness for her is showing," she scoffed, her arms crossed as she looked at the blonde. "I am not soft, you fucking piece of vomit."

"I told you, my hair is not that damn vomiting emoji! The shade is different!"

"Whatever," she walked to the unconscious blonde and with a soft tug, managed to lift her head up to a more comfortable position. She looked peaceful, her mouth slightly parted as she let out soft snores.

Even in a different universe, the sight of her still made her go speechless.

Which got her confused. This universe's Chloé looks very similar to her Chloé, just with more yellow than soft pink and white, so why,

"Why is she taking so damn long?" She hissed as Claw shrugged, who was looking down at his manicure and let out a 'tsk'. He needed to get an appointment, soon.

"Maybe because you're not together in this universe," he supplied after a moment, "maybe you're in love with me instead."

"That's one of the worst things you've ever said to me and I want to strangle you right now."

Claw shivered, "Agreed. Agree to never speak about that again."

A figure sighed as she shut her bug phone. Gazing at a familiar tower, she idly wonders if she should wait for them to arrive or continue searching for the person she needs. Deciding to do the latter, she jumps off the roof into the night sky.

Ladybug almost crashed into the hotel room, Chat Noir not far behind. After getting a call from a very distraught mayor and with the sky turning an unusual purple, she had a sinking feeling it was another powered up Akuma. This Akuma hasn't showed their face yet, but Chloé's disappearance was alarming.

"She's not here," she whispered after quickly darting inside the suite. Chat Noir voiced his affirmative and gave her a worried look, "The Akuma must have already taken her but..." Chat frowned, "Unless it had a personal vendetta against Chloé, it's unusual of them to stay hidden."

Ladybug sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Notes: It's divided because the author hasn't decided if this should be a short, fluffy funny fic or dive into possible 'getting therapy from yourself of a different multiverse because it's like talking to one of the voices in your head'. Enjoy!

[rohirric-hunter]

I made an @ellipsus-writes account yesterday and with one day under my belt here are my first impressions.

It's basically Google Docs, but without being associated with Google. You're able to edit documents from any device with a web browser, which is a lot more convenient than the WebDav server I'm currently using.

Things that are less than ideal:

There aren't a lot of customization options. You can switch between light and dark mode, but I would like to be able to set my document backgrounds to a color. Also it would be better if you could change your view layout. Right now it looks like this:

and I would prefer to have these documents in a list, rather than these big bubbles. The bubbles might be cool if you could change their color or add an image background to them, but as is they're just boring white and taking up a lot of space. I have only 12 documents in this folder and it's a bit silly that I can't see them all at once.

2. You might also notice that these documents appear to be in a completely random order. They're actually in the order I last edited them in. I prefer my documents to be in alphabetical order, and this is an option that exists, but a) when switching to this view it for some reason defaults to reverse alphabetical order and I then have to manually select regular alphabetical order, and b) this setting will not be remembered between sessions.

3. I can't seem to get rid of the, "Need help? Chat with us" popup at the bottom of the page. It takes up an annoying amount of space, and I wish it was collapsible.

Things that worry me:

Instead of having a password system, Ellipsus sends you an email link every time you go to log in. There's nothing wrong with doing it this way I guess, since you can access the link from the same device you're accessing the website from, but it kind of just smacks of being different for the sake of being different. Makes me worry about security. Not that I write anything worth stealing.

Instead of having a normal profile system, Ellipsus uses Gravatar, which is some "universal internet account" nonsense that I will absolutely not be using. This probably won't be a huge issue, though, as I don't really plan on using the collaboration tools, so I won't need to make a profile. I wish I could change my email address, though, as I accidentally used the wrong one to make the account. I might make a new account.

I don't understand how all this is being paid for. There are no ads, the account is free, but the hosting is all done by Ellipsus. While text does not take up a ton of space to host, it does take up some space, and that costs money. Are the creators doing it out of their own pockets? Do they have a donor? Will there be donation drives to support it later? Or will they adopt advertisements in the future or introduce a "premium" option where you can pay for additional features? The last one normally wouldn't worry me, but since it is currently so bare-bones I'm a bit antsy. What if you have to pay for the option to have your documents in alphabetical order by default?

Their advertising is. Vague. I put this off for a long time because looking around on their website there was a lot of talk about how you're a writer and super creative and also they'll never steal your data to train AIs, but it was really hard to find a place where it outright said what the product was. This concerns me because it makes me feel like the company has something to hide.

Good things:

It's a platform that does the same thing as Google Docs without actually being Google Docs. This is a powerful pro. I'll probably keep using it for now.

Oh yeah and they don't have an app. A few years ago this would have gone in the less-than-ideal section for me but these days with the way app stores are about user generated content it's probably best to avoid the whole thing. I followed their suggestion to set a link on my homescreen (through Firefox) and it works very well. I was worried it might be laggy (Tumblr was laggy when I used it through Firefox) but it's been very responsive. No server access if you're not connected to the internet, but if you have the document already open then you can keep typing into it and it will update when you reconnect. This is the same way I used Google Docs back in the day and perfectly serviceable in my opinion.

NYPOST: Meghan Markle ‘feels’ Kate Middleton ‘got away with’ mistreating her: source

By Samantha Ibrahim

August 2, 2023 9:43am Updated

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Markle continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

I am going to answer this point by point so it is long:

Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

-No, The Princess of Wales has risen above and done her duty impeccably even when she wanted to deck the b****.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Middleton, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

-Again with Meghan being UNABLE to let things go. She is going to be talking about this on her death bed. She truly felt that because she cried later, on the floor sobbing where only Harry found her, she was the mistreated one.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the Duchess of Cambridge and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

-The only reason this “feud” is still making headline is because it is the only way for Meghan to get any attention whatsoever and have her name mentioned in the same sentence as “Princess of Wales.” Also, William and Catherine do not have to take any responsibility for their actions when said actions were more than warranted at the time. Meghan was/is a bully and they stood up to her which is why she is angry. She felt she was educating them on how to live their lives and they told her to bugger off which is incomprehensible to her.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologized and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to the Mirror.

-What do they need to apologize for? I believe it was Meghan who bullied Catherine for having “baby brain” and when pointed out to her that was uncalled for and mean, MEGHAN is the one that took offence at having been reprimanded for something SHE DID. She felt it was rude of them to call her out but by God, William and Catherine had better hand over the kings to the kingdom for all of their wrongdoings to Meghan.

The star of the suddenly record-setting TV series “Suits” is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

-Oh please…it’s streaming on Netflix and there is literally nothing else to watch right now. Plus I doubt her residuals are anything substantial.

Harry and Markle have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir “Spare” and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

-The one where they didn’t get the Emmy nod…hehehehehe…

Another insider added that Markle was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

-No. Meghan was convinced that the BRF would be on her side to begin with, most importantly she wanted William on her side because she wanted him to love/admire her and hate Catherine. When that didn’t happen she turned it as a “me against them” story and in the end she came out the villain instead of the victim. Catherine was ALWAYS going to have an edge over her. Catherine is married to the heir to the throne and will one day be Queen. Just because Meghan thought herself to be better than Catherine didn’t mean others would.

The Post has reached out to reps for Prince Harry and Markle for comment on the latest accusations.

-The will deny or not respond because all of this came from them anyways.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Middleton reportedly told Markle there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Middleton cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Middleton who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the media titan, 69, in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Markle continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Middleton.

-Again she is like a Pit Bull with this story. She will NEVER let it go that people saw her for who she truly is and then didn’t buy her side of the story. She hasn’t and will never forgive Catherine because Catherine was rightfully upset and Meghan was the evil SIL.

In “Spare,” Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Markle crying on the floor after the University of St. Andrews graduate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.

-So Givenchy anon claims this is because the dresses were poorly made and Meghan kept changing her mind. This all had nothing to do with Catherine and everything to do with Meghan acting crazy.

ok chat I'm gonna be mad and do a tarot reading from a book...but modify it a bit. because i don't feel like sorting out all the Major cards from my deck, and because I don't want to wait until the next crescent or waxing moon.

So, for basically forever, I've felt like I wasn't authentically living my life, like I've been living in a protective bubble. And I spoke with my brother and SIL about it in the past, and they said "everyone protects each other". Which is nice! But I feel like there's something more... so I'm shuffling now, with my kitty deck... pulled my cards....all three of my cards are in reverse... but I'm gonna trust it.

long post, keep reading below

Three of swords, reversed. theyre all piercing the heart. Well I have been pretty insecure lately, it would be nice if it was just my anxiety lying to me... four of swords, once again reversed. this card apparently focuses on awakening, finding mental strength, and/or losing faith. my card looks like the cat, peacefully sleeping, is gonna fall and be impaled on the swords :( Do I believe I am unworthy of the love being given to me? Yeah, tbh. I feel like... you know, I'm not an interesting person by myself. I feel like I'm bland, lame, nothing to really look twice at...like I don't do much. But that last part is full of shit, I'm doing a LOT of creative things! I'm trying new things with my art, I'm writing a book, I'm working on an animatic that's only gonna be funny to me purely because I can...and I'm celebrated both online and off!

Last card, ace of pentacles, reversed. "Lack of money, poor financial control, lack of opportunities or lost opportunities, financial delays, excessive spending, scarcity, deficiency, instability, insecurity, lack of planning, greed, stinginess, penny pinching"

I am honestly living a really good life right now, it's not going to last forever. I am currently cared for by my folks handling a lot of necessities, while I pitch in with housework and taking care of pets. Every so often I get small trinkets "just because". The thought of...my parents no longer being around...scares me deeply. Be it a freak accident, someone passing away from a heart attack of stroke...any awful thing. I feel like if someone were to pass away today or in the near future, my stability would come crashing down like blowing on a tower of cards. So what I really need to work on is getting things settled and solidified before the inevitable happens. I have a support group for that, I just need to...actually use it.

..hm, rereading everything, I was convinced that...like...everybody I'm in a good or decent relationship with (friends, family, lover) was pretending to tolerate me...

but if that were the case, what would the benefit be of lying to me for so long? I don't DO anything. I don't take commissions, I'm not a published author yet, I don't earn royalties...I don't make any living. All I do is spread love and joy...

just love the ppnkgxppg art sm !! ! <33 if by chance can you explain your dynamic between them?

yhh >:) tbh my dynamics can shift depending on the context (for ex if i'm entertaining aus or scenarios). +it's kinda hard to explain their dynamic w/o also talking abt my hcs for each character bUT ANYWAy dsjgk

bratubbles: starting w this one cus they're kinda the more « normal » pair (aka i don't ever think abt them so i don't have much to say, rip). they are,,, black cat/white bunny (barfs); brat being kitty, bubbles being bunny. not exactly "opposites attract" but also not entirely compatible. brat values her independence and borders avoidant tendencies (but also not really?) making her more passive in the relationship. kinda has a habit of making bubbles cry. bubbles is like her little pet. she loves her, but also has to resist the intrusive urge to grab her by the ears and swing her around. and bubbles is just,,, "i can fix her :pleading:" kind of gross bs

i don't have much on this one sorry chat 💀 i'd have to rly sit down and think about them at some point

brutercup: my hcs for brutercup closely align with my friends @/saschy123 and @/gkt-tummyaches !! if u ever see their hcs, just know that i nod in agreement. brute is the epitome of toxic/abusive, dominating and anti-social, and bc eats it up cus she's a little guy and loves brute sm. sadist x masochist vibes both in kink and in general that's pretty much it asjkf

soft/bottom brute does not exist in brutercup pls- brute is just not a good person. 'soft' tendencies exhibited by brute are more for her own personal gain or power trip rather than for the sake of the relationship. bc is 100% aware of it but simply doesn't give a fuck because she knows what she signed up for.

blosserk: this one [grins evilly] my fave <3 (if that wasn't obvious jksdg) i like making this one suffer !!! esp berserk !! doomed yuri, complicated, yummy. they are terribleee at communication. berserk sucks at trying to convey what she feels correctly and blossom takes it as criticism, and will resort to stonewalling techniques in the right circumstances. both of them expect a lot of change from one another but both of them are too stubborn to put in the effort to change themselves, making them constantly in and out of the arguing phase. they always have problems !! on a more wholesome note, they have cute dates; picnics and shit *rolls eyes*

a different dynamic i have with blosserk is more unrequited. berserk crushes on blossom but the latter doesn't feel the same. i have/had a whole au surrounding this as a kid that's just a whole failed enemies-to-lovers arc where berserk tries to reconnect with blossom on more neutral terms but blossom is too arrogant and cannot look past her former reputation of being a villain. role-reversal; ends up being the one that gives berserk a hard time than the other way around. ex-lovers kind of feel. berserk is very self-destructive when i think abt this dynamic. i like this one better cus i play with it more + there's more angst potential 🥰
