the last thing a neat stick sees

[unproduciblesmackdown]

shifted gears like alright after the [lucifer the mysteries please] centered approach that found mostly Other Stuff, centering [blade gunnblade please], and already have found something new but in the "possibly inaccurate & probably irrelevant even if otherwise" vein as a review read through the wayback machine says: "perhaps none moreso than the gun toting android Blade Gunblade, perfectly embodied by Asia Kate Dillon. They even get an awesome heart-wrenching backstory." which is so far the singular mention that blade gunnblade is an android, however, reviewers can Just Say Things, so. i believe the blade gunnblade full backstory clip that's available is from pre 2015's run at the pit, & rather a previous run as serials at the flea (and the prop & setpiece differences if it was simply an alex seife understudy performance from 2015 would be: inexplicable) but i have to imagine that blade's peak tragic backstory ft. murdered wife & child would be very similar, & i guess it would be funny if they were just out & about living their ordinary life with a family like that while also an android, but. however i'll also give them that: mentioned a bit more often is that at least at some point kapow-i Becomes part android / referred to as a cyborg, thanks to the same character as in 2015 & prior's tragic backstory. i don't think this fun fact is like super constantly relevant or obvious, so i Could imagine something along the lines of blade getting the same treatment & it also not being particularly more relevant. or else the proximity of such concepts like "kapow-i's a cyborg, the serials run clip seems to refer to like 'we need this specific rando who is now blade to be injected with Ultimate Fighter elixir (& have their family killed. because) & people's whose bodies couldn't handle it are now kind of like funny little robots (cybernetically automated but with some personality)" & like blade we need you to be a fighting machine was thus sort of conflated lol. but maybe they're a cyborg like i think it happens a lot anyways

fashion world! au

characters: zhongli, xiao, childe, albedo, diluc content warnings: none! ask to tag if you need it (i don’t mind!) a/n: shoutout to my bestie @stellarpredator​ who is the good ideas to my “childe captions like noah centineo” pea brain. similar to the scifi au i posted but much more organised. you guys are all beautiful you cannot convince me otherwise. what’s playing: umpah umpah by red velvet.

zhongli

zhongli is the ceo of fashion industry giant rex lapis inc. known for their sophisticated and elegant styling, most models would KILL to be able to work with RLI, much less work with the mr zhongli himself.

which it why it frustrates him to no end when you-- booked & busy fashion world modelling icon, never pick up his calls.

zhongli, pointing at a photoshoot you recently did with ragvindr: WHAT DOES HE HAVE THAT I DON’T??? xiao, employee of the year: mr zhongli please sit down the people are staring.

you never seem to spare him a glance at any of your important business meetings. everytime he comes up to you you’re scurrying away to somewhere else, everytime he tries to catch your attention with those amber eyes you’re staring intently at the paper cup in your hand. every single time you always seem to be somewhere else entirely.

zhongli feels personally targeted, which is why he doesn’t spare a second to corner you at the balcony of an afterparty.

he calls your name quietly, and you almost drop the phone in your hand as you whirl, eyes wide that someone had came in after you.

“would you give me the pleasure of capturing your beauty... and letting the whole world marvel?”

zhongli, thundering after you: PLEASE WE NEED TO TALK you, confused: EXCUSE ME PLEASE STOP CHASING ME SOMEONE GET THE PAPARAZZI OUT OF HERE

xiao

xiao doesn’t really think he’s fashionable, he really just throws on the same leather jacket each day and a graphic tee and call it a day.

unfortunately everyone seems to think otherwise, & after a chance encounter and his photo appearing in the magazine he’s well on his way to becoming the next top model.

a year into his career and xiao is on ALL the magazines, his face is recognisable worldwide, and he gets pretty embarrassed whenever his friends point at the huge billboard with his face on it.

yet none of his advertisements have him smiling (his friends says he doesn’t know how to, but he just scoffs at them) and there’s this strange melanchony as he can’t seem to stop thinking about the first photographer that first took his photo (and somehow made him smile??)

(that’s you baby you’re the only one who xiao smiles at)

so when he finally manages to catch you again in the next room over from one of his shoots..? his hand darts out before he can think.

“now that i’ve got you... i’m never going to let you go.”

pls read on all the funny ones are under the cut.

childe

famous soundcloud rapper streamer childe accidentallys like a photo of you on the ‘net, then lets it slip on stream that he thinks you’re really beautiful.

somehow his friends are suddenly daring him to comment on your post, & you have to wake up confused as to why the top comment with the most amount of likes is “barbeque sauce on my tiddies” from this verified guy, but hey, at least he’s cute.

childe: barbeque sauce on my tiddies childe's fans: get him boys

you manage to follow him back and the next day childe drops a shirtless pic on the gram and all his fans are screaming at him for being too obvious (you don’t even see it)

the caption? “i love you? i am you.” wise words mr centineo.

you: new vid dropping with childe tonight! the fans: OH MY GOD THIS IS IT THEY’RE ANNOUCNING THEIR RELATIONSHIP the video: shopping in snezhnaya (i made my best friend carry everything) the fans: fuck they friendzoned him

you two manage to keep your relationship a secret for a year before announcing it on a stream and the fans when absolutely ballistic.

“you and i make a great pair, don’t you think?” “sure, barbeque sauce on my tiddies.”

albedo

this is fashion world, and albedo’s at the top. he’s known as bold and fashionable but also stupidly hard to work with.

you, a model-in-training that happens to go to the same school as albedo-- and ready as hell to drop out any second.

you have the unfortunate pleasure of working with THE mr albedo himself for the last project of the year-- the most important one that makes up 30% of your grade.

its off to a great start when albedo takes you ‘shopping’ to ‘get a sense of your tastes’, only to stop and admire and sketch an hilichurl for most of the day before wordlessly carting off with a canvas of wet paint (decidely not a picture of you OR an outfit)

the next day goes just as well-- you spy albedo humming over twenty pieces of faux fur that look practically identical to your untrained eye. he goes away with four bags of mysterious fabrics and tells you to call him up tomorrow.

you arrive the next day wondering whether or not he'll put you in a hilichurl fursuit until he turns around with the most gorgeous piece that you’ve ever laid eyes on. you’re certain this isn’t the albedo you met on the first day.

"i needed to make a piece befitting of your beauty... do you not like it?”

diluc

you, popular media fashion influencer, somehow fucking makes it to one of the most elite fashion shows ever-- mondstadt fashion week.

(and you absolutely kill it, shut up.)

there, an outsider to all the glitz and glam and horror fashion, you find yourself lost and confused, and also terrified at all the parties that you seem to be invited to everyday.

you find your unlikely companion in fellow outsider-- quiet fashion ceo heir diluc ragvindr, an outside to the frivioulus runway, just like you.

he doesn’t do parties-- and he can’t strut the runway like his brother. he doesn’t even get how safety pins work (much to your chargrin, how is he supposed to take over a fashion company like THIS??)

it’s just sad that you two had to meet by sitting next to each other on a runway show, and how the person next to you is practically shoving you right into his lap.

“not a fan of runway shows, but i suppose there are worse people to be sitting next to.”

February

Split my time between OR and MI. Aka I went out to michigan to see Jared for the second half of the month

The weather in Eug was SO nice that month? See pic at top from hike with @everythinginstride + nathan. They know how to spice up a hike let me tell ya. Summit coffee and stroop waffels 👌🏻

In Michigan we stopped to get Detroit style pizza the night I flew in as per usual. Jared's bestie who I had yet to meet irl came which was awesome. And I got a cocktail with gummy bears which was extra awesome.

Lots of snow! So fricken cold! So much running and snow and stressing about slipping! But I also finally got to meet up with @neu-run and run irl (so fking windy and cold omg) which was very nice (and made up for the wind and cold)

Took a day trip to Grand Rapids! Went climbing and ate tacos. Ideal.

Took a weekend trip to Traverse City. Amazing.

We stayed at this awesome airbnb and it was on a farm and we got to chill with the goats and cows and feed them and they were so fun and friendly.

Explored Sleeping Bear + went to wineries + went to a distillery that had yurts you could hang out in and play board games + drove up the peninsula. Definitely has me thinking about the Bayshore Marathon some day 👀

Went to a birthday party for one of J's friends and it was so much fun and very college-party-esque. Plus I got to meet most of his friends for the first time (shoutout covid!)

[supremequeenofthenerds]

Okayyyyyyy So i posted this early by mistake but i’ll post it again just cuz :D

So this weekend I went to C2E2 for the first time and got to Cosplay for the first time..... it’s been fun trying to figure out how to best incorporate Hijab into cosplay, but i think i did an alright job of it :D

Here’s my Jyn-On-Jedha with the scarf. I wore this on Saturday, and got a lot of compliments on it. honestly this is the first time i’ve ever cosplayed as anyone, and I only did it because one of my besties @dreamingoftomorroww​ told me i looked like Jyn when we watched Rogue One together :D

I usually don’t wear a lot of makeup, and neither does Jyn, but she does wear a kind of kohl around the eyes, and while I have real Powdered Kohl, and I would have liked to use it, i’m still not very good with the applicator and didn’t want to show up with my eyes completely red all day from poking them..... so smudgy eyeliner it is :D

There are so many droids roaming around the con, there were like four R2 units, a K-9, A Kermit-the-Dalek that chased my friend @ravenclawingatthesheets​ for a bit and of course a bunch of BB-8s including A Deadpool BB-8!!! 

Also this is one of my favorite cosplays ever, they just set up by the entrance to the con and made faces at people for twenty minutes (From Monty Python and the Holy Grail) 

And this was my cosplay for Sunday!! 

I originally wasn’t going to do another cosplay, I only had Jyn’s cosplay, but I found this jacket at a booth in the Exhibitor’s hall and couldn’t resist. I already had the holster and jeans and everything, all i needed was the final touch ;D 

Rocking my Damerey lanyard while taking pics 

I was also in the Official Star Wars Cosplay Meetup Photoshoot, a friend of mine took this for me, but i was surprised that it was Me (Poe) and the one Leia and everyone else was either Rey or Kylo....... like why couldn’t there be one Finn or one Rose, or even a Jannah or Chewie? (i’ll add the official pics when they get posted) 

(shoutout to the TLJ Rey who let me borrow her blaster for this pic, cuz I didn’t have the time to get Poe or Jyn’s blaster to use for myself)

ALSO I BOUGHT MYSELF A MYSTERY BOX LIGHTSABER AND I LOVE IT. 

The color is a lighter color than it appears in the pics but whatever. It’s super cool and idc. I only wish it had a sound chip in it, but i can get that and add it later if i really want to....

And because Force Sensitive!Poe has always been a headcanon of mine!

Can’t wait to go again next year!!! (Hopefully this time i’ll be better about eating and not overdoing it, i almost got very sick on saturday night because i just didn’t adult well enough.... but Sunday was a lot better)

Also managed to get my hands on these.... and they're signed. Cant wait to dig into them!!!!

Title: Trying to Get Bi

Summary: “Alright. How about Adrien Agreste?” Chat Noir sat up abruptly and stared at Ladybug over his shoulder. “Say what now?” "Let's hear it," Ladybug encouraged. "Hot or Not? He totally seems your type.” Chat Noir opened his mouth, closed it, and winced. “Eeehhhh, I dunno. T-That’s kind of a….a hard question.”

Featuring: Bi!Ladybug and Bi!Chat Noir, a billboard of Adrien Agreste, a game of celebrity Hot or Not?, and a very awkward reveal.

Trying to Get Bi

“Okay, what about….ah, Vanessa Paradis.”

Ladybug took a bite of fudge. “Not,” she said with her mouthful. “Not that she’s not pretty, just not my type.”

Chat Noir hummed in agreement and plucked his own square of fudge from the Tom & Sabine’s box that was sitting in between them. “I might have to go Not too,” he decided. “Amazing model, probably go on a date with her, but that’s it.”

“Oh!” Ladybug perked up. “Marion Cotillard.”

Chat Noir snorted. “Um. Hot. Way hot. Not even a question. If she so much as even spoke to me, I’d probably self combust.”

“Same!” Ladybug laughed. “She has the most beautiful eyes, I just want her to stare at me from across a candlelit dinner before she takes me home.”

“Takes you home to do what? ” Chat Noir cackled.

Ladybug lifted her chin and shrugged. “If you’re suggesting that I’m thinking something improper, you’re completely wrong. I’m a gentlewoman.”

“Uh huh,” Chat Noir deadpanned. “The same gentlewoman that didn’t curse out a tourist for taking pictures of her chest the other day?”

“Shut up,” Ladybug snorted. “He deserved it.”

“Cheers to that.” They both held up their squares of fudge and tapped them in a toast before finishing them off in one bite. “Speaking of men,” Chat Noir continued, “Jean Dujardin.”

“Absolutely,” Ladybug nodded. “Hot. My best friend was telling me the other day that he was ‘too old’ and I looked at her like she was crazy.”

“Okay thank you because my best friend also said he’s not hot. Which. Have you seen him?”

“Ridiculously handsome.”

“ Supremely handsome! Bless my soul if I ever aged as gracefully as that.”

Ladybug reached up and stroked Chat’s bare chin. “You with scruff? That’d be hilarious.”

“Um. I could pull off scruff. I’m a very mature and upstanding cat.”

“Please, you’re totally baby faced, I’ll believe you can pull off facial hair when I see it.”

“Excuse me, but I’ll have you know I have exactly three hairs growing on my chin.” He moved in closer and tipped his head back so that she could see. “Look! Don’t they make me look manly and irresistible?”

Ladybug squinted. “I don’t see anything, so I guess that answers that question.”

Chat Noir gasped and pressed a scandalized hand to his chest. “ Rude! ”

Ladybug held the box of fudge away from him, stuck her tongue out, and squealed when Chat Nor got up and started chasing her across the roof that they were just laying out on. “It’s not my fault you can’t handle the truth, Chat!”

“The betrayal!” he shouted after her, laughing when they jumped across a narrow alleyway onto the next apartment building. “I thought we were Bi Besties!”

Ladybug rolled her eyes as she scaled the slanted roof and sat on top of a windowsill. “Stop trying to make Bi Besties happen. It’s super corny.”

Chat Noir laid out against the shingles of the roof right underneath where Ladybug was sitting, and stared up at her with a wicked grin. “Bi Besties is the perfect superhero name for us. It’s accurate, inclusive, and proclaims us as role models for the questioning youth. They look up to us, you know.”

“Look it’s fine as an inside joke, but how are adults supposed to take us seriously when you go on national television and present us as the Bi Besties?”

“You were so into it.”

“I mean, yeah,” Ladybug grumbled. “Right up until I had news reporters coming up to me the other day asking me about my sexuality.” She cleared her throat and deepened her voice until she was mimicking a snooty, television reporter. “Mmm, so Ladybug, would you say that your bisexuality affects your superhero work?”

Chat Noir rolled onto his back and laughed boisterously. “What did that even mean? I saw it on the news after the fight and it was the most cringeworthy thing I’ve seen in my life.”

Ladybug pressed the back of her hand to her forehead. “Oh heavens! An akuma! I sure hope my simultaneous appreciation for men and women won’t get in the way of taking it down!”

Chat Noir clasped his hands together under his chin. “It’s simply too much, Ladybug. My brain can’t possibly think of a way out of this sticky situation. There are too many thoughts of men and women swirling around in there, I can’t bring myself to concentrate!”

“Do you think straight people really think that?” Ladybug asked.

“I’d have to ask a straight person.” Chat Noir opened his mouth and leaned his head back. “Fudge me!”

Ladybug plucked off a piece of fudge, aimed, and managed to land the piece directly in Chat’s mouth. He lifted both of his fists in victory and cheered into the sky while Ladybug chuckled and opened up their second box of fudge. “Next time we decide to bum around on a Sunday, I’m bringing macarons. You’ve been having too much chocolate lately. How are you going to fit into that cat suit of yours?”

“Don’t body shame me, Ladybug, I’m a growing boy. I need sugar. By the way, it’s your turn.”

She searched the sky for another celebrity name. “Ah, Gaspard Ulliel.”

Chat Noir waited for her to pass him a full square of fudge before he answered. “Hot. He looks like he’d treat me right.”

Ladybug wrinkled her nose. “Not. Sorry.”

“What?”

“He has squinty eyes!”

“The squinty eyes of an angel!”

“Statement stands.”

“Whatever,” he grumbled. “What about Louane? The singer.”

“Hot,” Ladybug declared. “She’s such a cutie pie. Absolute sweetheart.”

“I’m gonna have to go with Not on this one. She’s cute, but it’s like she’s….too cute? Too nice?”

“And that’s a bad thing?”

“I like woman who would be happy to step on my face or have the power to murder me.”

“Oh my God,” Ladybug snickered. “Is someone like Nolwenn Leroy up your alley?”

“A thousand times yes,” Chat Noir said enthusiastically. “I’d happily let her murder me.”

“Same,” Ladybug giggled. “You know, the more we play this, the more I’m getting a sense of your type. Omar Sy seems your type.”

“An impossibly attractive man with a beautiful smile? Hell yes. Dream husband, to be honest.”

Ladybug tapped a finger to her chin. “I’m gonna say….no on Baptiste Giabiconi.”

“Right again,” Chat Noir nodded. “I dunno, too intense for my tastes. I’d probably date him once just to say I did because, hello, amazing, rich, and popular model. But I need a man who’s gonna go the distance.”

“So a kindhearted but ridiculously attractive model that’s not too sweet but not too intense?” Ladybug asked.

“Oh for sure. Especially if they were around my age? That’d be great.”

Ladybug wracked her brain for another celebrity that would fit Chat Noir’s specifications, but in an almost uncanny twist of fate, her eyes happened to land on a huge billboard poster about five or so rooftops away featuring Adrien Agreste and Gabriel’s new Teen Fall Fashion line. As often as they played these celebrity Hot or Not games whenever they had downtime, Ladybug never bothered to bring up Adrien Agreste. It just seemed weird to bring someone into those kinds of games that she had such a huge crush on in real life and who also happened to be such a close friend of hers, so she never bothered.

But it was just a silly little game, and his billboard poster was right there being so completely obvious. Plus, if she had to be honest, Adrien Agreste seemed exactly like Chat Noir’s type. So she tapped Chat Noir on the shoulder with her foot and pointed at the billboard. “Alright. How about Adrien Agreste?”

Chat Noir sat up abruptly and stared at Ladybug over his shoulder. “Say what now?”

“Adrien Agreste,” Ladybug replied simply, turning his head toward the poster with her foot. “The Gabriel model. Gabriel Agreste’s son. He’s been on the cover of I don’t know how many teen magazines. Have you not heard of him?”

“N-No, I have!” Chat Noir stuttered. “Uh, yeah I uh….have a friend who knows a lot about him.”

“Alright, let’s hear it,” Ladybug encouraged. “Hot or Not? He totally seems your type.”

Chat Noir opened his mouth, closed it, and winced. “Eeehhhh, I dunno. T-That’s kind of a….a hard question.”

“Really?” she asked in confusion. “Why?”

He crossed his arms over his chest and shrugged. “I just, you know, it’s a little weird. Um, because you see my friend. See she talks about him a lot . So it’s just. I hear so much about him? And it’s kind of awkward. I guess. Sort of. Maybe.”

“Awkward….”

“Yeah. A little….i-inappropriate, if you will.”

Ladybug lifted a brow. “Chat, we literally had a twenty minute conversation yesterday about our dream weddings with Emmanuel Macron and he’s our new President. How is Adrien Agreste more awkward and inappropriate than that?”

“It just is!” Chat Noir defended lamely. “I-I dunno, sometimes you just, y-you just don’t have opinions on things.”

Ladybug crossed her leg and cradled her chin in her hand. “This is so bizarre,” she breathed out in awe. “I thought for sure we’d feel the same about him.”

Chat Noir turned his entire body around, his eyes looking a little desperate and frantic. “F-Feel the same?” He cleared his throat and fiddled with the part in his bangs. “How, uh, how do you feel about him?”

“Totally Hot,” Ladybug said decisively. “Plus, I heard he’s around our age, and he lives right here in Paris. So he’s totally within my league.”

Chat Noir inhaled sharply and started choking on his spit, banging on his chest to clear his lungs. “Wait,” he croaked out. “Y-Y-You think he’s hot!? Like hot hot?”

“Yeah?” Ladybug frowned. “What’s up with you? I’m surprised you don’t have an opinion of him.”

“I didn’t know you did!”

Ladybug shrugged. “Well, he never came up. But yeah he’s….absolutely charming. So handsome. A beautiful smile. Talented. And he seems like just the sweetest person in the whole world. Remember the akuma Jackady? When he was targeting Gabriel Agreste? I got to spend some time with Adrien amidst all the chaos and he was a complete delight. He seemed a little nervous to talk to me but I thought it was really adorable. I don’t mean to gush, but he just seems like a really special person. Really humble and down to earth for someone who’s so famous.”

She’d accidentally been staring at his billboard poster when she said all that, and she had to shake her head and sober herself up a little bit to not make her crush on him too obvious. But when she looked down at Chat, she found him staring up at her with a flabbergasted look on his face, a flush spreading all the way from his cheeks under his mask to the very tips of his ears. He bit down on his bottom lip and swallowed, tail swishing nervously behind him.

“Are you okay?” she asked him worriedly.

Chat Noir shook his head and covered his cheeks with one hand. “Yeah,” he spoke through his fingers. “I’m. No, I’m fine. Just, um. You must….really like him.”

Ladybug set aside the box of sweets and stepped down from her perch on the windowsill, settling down on the rooftop right in front of Chat. “You’re blushing.”

“A-Am I?” he said, his voice sounding oddly high-pitched. “I hadn’t noticed.”

Ladybug squinted her eyes suspiciously. “This is so weird, I’ve never seen you this flustered over another person before. Do you have a crush on him?”

“No, no way, definitely not!” Chat Noir quickly insisted. “I-It’s just, you know….kinda like….rating your best bud or something.”

“You’re best friends with him?”

“No!”

“So….you know him?”

“I mean…. know is such a strong word, don’t you think?”

Ladybug smirked. “I know you’re trying to divert attention away from this, but now I’m starting to think you’ve got some really juicy reason for not wanting to tell me whether you think he’s attractive.”

Chat Noir floundered around wordlessly for a moment before shutting his mouth, lifting both of his hands, and walking away from Ladybug towards the other end of the roof. “Nope. Not doing this. Nu uh.”

“Oh come on!” Ladybug giggled. “You can tell me! Do you know him from somewhere? Do you have this super big embarrassing crush on him and you don’t want me to know?”

“Why are you so fascinated by this?” Chat Noir asked. “It’s not that big a deal, is it?”

“Adrien Agreste is objectively gorgeous, and the fact that you’re reluctant to admit that is super fascinating.” She pouted her lips and bounced on her toes. “ Please? It’s Sunday and we have nothing to do, you’re telling me you can’t dish out some gossip? You love gossip!”

“I’ve got nothing gossip worthy on him, honest!” Chat Noir swore. “I just….feel like there’s a line when it comes to these sorts of games, you know?”

Ladybug snorted. “Oh, since when are you such a party pooper? The only lines in this game are family members and ourselves, and you don’t fall into any of those categories anyway — ”

“Hey! Look at that! It’s a full moon!” Chat Noir interrupted, pointing at the sky almost desperately. “Isn’t that amazing? A full moon! Hey, let’s talk about the moon for a bit, huh? Won’t that be fun, like. Just. Talking about the moon and it’s….fullness?”

She wanted to say that Chat Noir had almost as big a crush on Adrien as Ladybug did, but in all honesty, she had no idea why he was being so secretive and acting so awkward. That being said, it seemed like a delightfully rare occurrence and she was never one for missing out on an opportunity to tease her partner, especially when he was turning this red over it.

Ladybug clasped her hands behind her back. “Hey Chat?”

He flinched when he heard her voice and stopped his pacing. “Uh. Yes Ladybug?”

“If you were related to a successful, world-renowned fashion designer who lives right here in Paris, you’d tell me, right?”

Chat Noir covered his ears with his hands. “You know I can’t do that Ladybug, it’s against our code!”

“There’s probably a whole dynasty of Agrestes, I won’t be able to tell who you are if you just admit you’re a part of it,” Ladybug laughed. “It makes so much sense! You already have the blond hair and those high cheekbones. I bet you get invited to all the Fashion Week parties and you never even told me. The nerve.”

“Wait, cheekbones, you think I have their cheekbones?” Chat Noir asked. “Is it that obvious?”

“Oh totally ,” Ladybug joked. “If anything, you and Adrien Agreste have the most startling similarity out of that whole family. I bet that’s why you’re too embarrassed to admit he’s attractive. The family resemblance is just too huge.”

“ Really!? ” Chat Noir exclaimed worriedly. “I-I mean, we’re not that alike. Our….our hair is so different Ladybug, like, wow , totally out of this world different it’s crazy. I think you’re being a little overdramatic.”

Ladybug got closer to him so that she could grab his chin and turn his face left and right. “Nah, you two could be twins for sure. I mean we might as well plant your face on that billboard. It wouldn’t look any different.” She gave a dramatic gasp. “Oh my god, that’s it! You must be his twin.”

“Ladybug you’re being ridiculous that’s just. Crazy talk! You know that, right?”

She covered her mouth with one hand. “No! I’ve got it! It all makes sense! You must be Adrien Agreste!”

Chat Noir shook his head and stared at Ladybug in abject horror. “Wait, what!? ”

“It’s the only logical explanation, I mean why would anyone rate themselves, right?” Ladybug smirked. “To think that this entire time you’ve been this sweet, darling model by day and a sarcastic goofball by night. What a transformation. Really. Bravo.”

Chat Noir’s hands flew up to his hair and started yanking on it by the roots, and watching him get so flustered was probably the funniest thing Ladybug had seen all week. She chortled into her hand while she watched him stare back and forth between her and the billboard photo as if he were actually trying to convince himself that her ridiculous joke may actually be real. Such a drama queen. But then, Chat Noir completely surprised her when he dragged his hands down his cheeks and whined, “But how did you even figure it out?”

Ladybug sobered up and blinked. “Wait, what?”

Chat Noir’s jaw snapped shut and his eyes widened. “....nothing,” he squeaked.

“Wait a minute, figure what out?”

“Nothing! I said nothing!”

Ladybug felt her jaw dropping and couldn’t stop her brain from putting together the pieces. “Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, y-you’re not….are you actually….oh my God, no way!”

“You were the one making it sound like you knew!” he defended. “You just said it!”

“I was kidding!” Ladybug screamed. “I thought we were just messing around, I didn’t think you actually thought I was serious!”

“I thought you knew and you were just trying to tease the answer out of me!”

“I wouldn’t joke about something like this if I actually knew, obviously I was kidding around!”

“Well I guess I’m just bad at picking up signals then!”

Ladybug held up both of her hands. “Stop, stop,” she begged. “Hold on. Hooold on. You’re telling me….you’re telling me that you’re Adrien Agreste?”

Chat Noir shrugged helplessly, trying to come up with a decent response to the question, but he merely let his shoulders drop and sighed, accepting the inevitable. “I….well….y-yeah. Yeah. I’m. I’m Adrien Agreste. There. Secret’s out.”

Ladybug stayed stunned for a few seconds, promptly turned around, and pressed her fingers against her temples. “Holy crap,” she muttered. “Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap.”

Chat Noir winced. “Not that I ever anticipated this would ever happen, but as far as reactions go, you’re having a pretty bad one by the looks of it.”

Ladybug paused and bit her lip. He was right. For Marinette, this was positively mind blowing. Her crush and the boy she sat behind in class was actually Chat Noir and that by itself was making her brain do cartwheels trying to wrap her head around such a reality. But for Ladybug, it shouldn’t be any more shocking than realizing a model is actually her crime fighting partner. Being too dramatic about this ran the risk of revealing more about who her secret identity was and the fewer identity mishaps they could have tonight, the better. She was just going to….compartmentalize this and deal with it later. Much later. With her door locked. Screaming into her pillow. Tearing down all her Adrien posters.

“I-I guess, I’m just,” she hesitated, turning around and trying to force her brain to picture Chat Noir doing chemistry homework in study hall or Adrien telling puns while dangling precariously from the top of the Notre Dame. “A little embarrassed? I kinda gushed over you just now so it’s a little weird. It’s not because I’m disappointed or angry or anything. Surprised, for sure. But I guess mistakes happen. We were going to find out sooner or later. Occupational hazard.”

That seemed to placate his anxieties, and he blew out the anxious breath he was holding. “Well, that’s a relief. I’d prefer embarrassed over angry.”

“I’m not angry,” she assured him. “I probably shouldn’t have teased you so hard like that. That would’ve confused me too. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, I should’ve known better than to assume. It was mostly my fault.” He scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. “Gosh, this is weird not having this secret hanging over my head anymore.”

“It is a little weird,” Ladybug agreed with a smile. “But, I think we should be okay. I’m the only one who knows. And as long as we’re careful and don’t let anyone else in on the secret, everything should be totally fine.”

“Good point,” Chat Noir agreed. “As long as this doesn’t change anything, we should be fine, right?”

Ladybug bit the inside of her cheek, trying to imagine how she was going to manage keeping her cool in front of Adrien on Monday now that she was hanging onto such a huge secret. “R-Right!” she replied quickly. “We’re totally fine.”

Chat Noir smiled in relief, but then suddenly widened his eyes in realization. “Wait a minute,” he smirked. “You’re so right….”

“Right about what?”

“You were totally gushing over me a minute ago.”

Ladybug scowled and held up a finger. “Chat….Adrien….or, both of you just…. don’t .”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Chat Noir laughed. “Is teasing only okay when you’re the one doing it? I’m suddenly feeling up to continuing our little game but, oh, could you remind me what your opinions of Adrien Agreste are?”

“Oh my God, shut up!”

Chat Noir started counting off his fingers. “Let’s see if I can remember them all. Gorgeous. Sweet. Delightful. Charming. Handsome. Did I forget any?”

Ladybug covered her face with her hands. “Stooooop.”

“To think!” Chat Noir snickered. “All this time you’ve been telling me how much I wasn’t your type, and I’ve been your exact type this entire time!”

“You’re so infuriating leave me alone!”

“We should go on a date!”

Ladybug frowned, walked back over to where she left their sweets, and stomped away from him. “I’m leaving!”

“Noooo, come on! It’ll be nice! Like a celebrity date! It’ll be a lot of fun. You know, because I’m an absolute delight.”

“You’re never going to let this go, are you?”

“This is the perfect way to lighten up the mood, my Lady,” Chat Noir snickered. “Of course I’m not letting this go.”

“Leaving!!!”

“You can’t leave. I thought we were Bi Besties!”

“That’s never catching on Chat. Don’t even try it right now.”

A Complete History of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Relationship

Publicity stunt or actual true love? The hottest couple of 2019, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, can’t seem to get away from this pressing question. The two lovebirds have been close friends since their rise to fame back in 2014 but now, they’re clearly something more. Here’s the official breakdown of the pair’s sweet five-year (and counting) relationship.

July 2014: Live On Tour

The two started off as friends during her then-boyfriend Austin Mahone’s world tour, where they performed as opening acts. Cabello was still a part of the all-girl group Fifth Harmony, and Mendes was working on his first album, Handwritten.

April 2015: Interview with Capital FM radio

During an interview where Mendes was asked who he would kiss, diss or marry, he dished, “I would probably wife Camila”, and the Shawmila possibility was born.

November 2015: I Know What You Did Last Summer collab

The two collaborated on a hit single that grabbed the attention of pretty much everyone and quickly rose to the Canadian Hot 100 charts, winning the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Award for Fan Fave Video and Best Pop Video.

November 2015: Interview with James Corden

After the release of their first collab, the pair took to The Late Night Show with James Corden, where he asked all the questions we’ve been dying to get answers to. “There’s no way you guys haven’t made out,” Corden pushed, hoping to uncover a hidden love affair, but to his dismay (and ours) Mendes and Cabello both stated it was simply a platonic relationship. “Every time I try to make a move she just swerves me off,” Mendes shared. Even Cabello chimed in saying, “He friend-zoned me, he calls me kid!”

March 2017: A cover of Ed Sheeran’s Kiss Me is uploaded and everyone freaks out

A black and white video of the Canadian and Cuban-American stars singing together hit Youtube at full force, reaching almost 3.5 million views in no time. Not too shabby for a brisk 24-second clip.

May 2017: Supportive besties

Even though the two continued to deny any BF/GF ties to each other, they shared a lot of love and support through social media posts and shout outs.

January 2018: The Grammys

Cuddled up side by side for a photo op, the two say they’re just best mates supporting each other.

December 2018: Camila’s coupley IG pics

After posting two photos where the “friends” were seen singing and braiding hair (yes Shawn can do it all!), fans found new hope in the notion that the dynamic duo were finally coming out as a pair. But, it was not to be as they denied any relationship progression. Ugh, come on guys!

May 2019: Mendes releases new self-titled album, Cabello shared her excitement (and love)

Cabello took to Twitter to share her support for Mendes, saying, “My mind was blown listening to this album, I’m in awe of you! I love you, I’m so so so so happy these incredible songs and stories are out!” Now, it’s not the first time she dropped the L-word for Mendes, but at least this time she didn’t add ‘friend’ to the sentence.

June 2019: The epic drop of music video Señorita had us all in heart-eyes mode

To say the video was intimate would be the understatement of the year. The duo were totally inseparable and unable to keep their hands off each other, all while making it look effortlessly sexy. The chemistry between the two had everyone double checking Cabello’s relationship status, which at the time was linked to British native Matthew Hussey. Although we’re not quite sure what the final straw was between Cabello and Hussey, it wasn’t too long after the video dropped that they called it quits.

July 2019: Fans come for the pair, claiming their new relationship is a fraud

Strolling hand in hand at Mendes’ LA pad, sneaking a kiss between bites at a restaurant and more mysterious lovey tweets by Cabello had their fan base pondering all kinds of theories. Many took to Twitter to come for the newly founded couple, saying that the timing of the relationship was all a PR stunt to promote their new single. The couple was also seen intertwined while floating around in the warm Miami waters while the Toronto musician was on his world tour. The Señorita star defended herself and her new beau by deleting any negative comments or tweets, which seemed to only confuse people even more.

August 2019: Mendes’ 21st Birthday Party

During his birthday bash in New York City, Mendes and Cabello seemed to be in their own little world, unable to stay away from each other. Mendes made partygoers swoon as he grabbed her by the hand and went in for a kiss—ah, young love. She gave him another IG shoutout saying “Happy Birthday to this magic human, I love you!”, posting an old Polaroid along with it. Though the two are Instagram (semi)official, they still have yet to confirm their relationship publicly.

October 2019: Mendes confirms they’re officially dating

After months of intense speculation, Shawn Mendes confirmed to his fans that he and Cabello began “officially” dating in July, a month after they dropped their steamy single Señorita. “We haven’t been dating for that long,” Mendes told fans at a concert in Hindmarsh, Australia in footage that was later shared on Twitter. “We have been dating since July 4th officially.”

November 2019: The two engage in major PDA at a basketball game

At Los Angeles’s Staples Centre, where the LA Clippers were playing the Toronto Raptors, the two engaged in some very public displays of affection. Kissing, holding hands, gazing into each other’s eyes—the two seemed loved up and happy, and totally oblivious to the people around them.
