Maribat Ships and My Vibe Explanations

These are based on the most popular tropes and scenarios I've seen particularly for a specific ship, but some are my own vision:) Moodboards I made for each ship, which are partially inspired by the below thoughts, are linked in the ship name.

Brucinette:

Boss x Secretary trope or Socialite meets Other Socialite and Both Discover each other is Less Shallow than they Thought

Alternatively,

Hero x Villain Love story.

Look, we all know Bruce has a bad track record with his Rogues and also Love in general

Black Cat Mari is the most popular, probably, but I think we should see more Villain/ Morally Grey Mari with other Miraculi

Not my favourite ship but it can be fun

Particularly when we add Dad Bruce and Mari gets to adopt the Batkids and be a Cool MomTM.

Dickinette:

Often a Villain x Hero romance, usually Black Cat Marinette and Nightwing.

A good trope to be sure, but I think we should spice it up more.

Vampire Dick Truthers (you know who you are) have a point with their Vampire Dick and Mari fics. Why not make Dick the villain in Mari's Rogue Gallery???

Overall a great trope, especially if you really delve into their characters: both are 'sunshine' characters who fight everyday to be the nice, kind heroes everyone thinks they are and expects them to be, even though it's the hardest route to take.

Jasonette:

(I'm biased as it's my #1 Maribat ship, but I'll try not to go on too long >.<)

Villain x Hero? Hero x Hero? Amazing, outstanding. What about Villain x Villain? I myself would love to see more Rogue Jason and Rogue Mari fics.

Any AU is amazing. I admit to having a fondness for Mob Boss Jason, partly because he is one in canon, at least for a while, and because I'm addicted to dark/mafia romance novels. Lieutenant Mari? Yes, please. Rival Mob Boss Mari? Heck yeah! Bat-affiliate Mari? Gimme. Please.

The amount of character exploration you could do if you wrote a romance where they actually stayed together, looking at you, DC is intriguing. Would Jason change for someone he loved? Would he give up crime lording? Would Mari accept him anyways but then they'd have to deal with one half running from the law/vigilantes and the other half being on the vigilantes' side?

Also, soft Jason. Nerding out over books and music and fashion and appreciating the fine things in life and meeting this cute fashion designer with a penchant to listen to Jagged Stone-

So many AU opportunities!! Bakery AU! Mafia AU! Coffee Shop AU! Meetcute at the Museum AU!...

Okay I'll move on now:(

Timari:

LISTEN

This ship IS THE DEFINITION OF THE CEO X SECRETARY TROPE!

I need more, I don't care if it's overused

Also, rival hackers or geniuses.

OR COFFEE SHOP AU

They're both coffee monsters, it's perfect

No I don't care that there are two dozen coffee shop Timari AUs, give me more.

Daminette:

ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS

Or just rivals to lovers is fine too

YOU REALLY THINK THESE TWO 'MUST BE THE TOP IN CLASS' WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING OVER GRADES AND THEN PAIRED UP ON AN ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INTENSE TO WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE AND THEN THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AT ALL TIMES LEST THE OTHER SABOTAGE THEIR PROJECT AND THEN THEY FALL IN LOVE-

anyways

I'm not even into HP but I want a Hogwarts AU with these two-

or any dark academia rivals to lovers au

Roynette:

Enemies or Rivals to Lovers

It's just a simple misunderstanding, as all large rifts start off with.

There's a translation issue or an eavesdropping that is taken out of context

(they're both idiots your honour)

But then something happens and they have to work together or they're made to talk and they realize it's all just a misunderstanding

And then they're like... " while we're clearing the air...so uh, I kinda have a crush on you'

"no way, me too!!"

And Mari meets Lian (or maybe that's what starts this, Jason and Mari are hanging out babysitting Lian and Roy comes to pick Lian up and they start talking and and and-)

And Mari loves Lian immediately of course, who wouldn't?

And so Roy likes her more because she likes Lian so automatically she's not as bad as he thought, and Lian really likes her too

And then they fall in love and Jason and Lian are the master matchmakers behind the scenes

You can pry OTP Jason & Lian setting up Roynette out of my cold dead hands

Konette:

I haven't seen or read a ton of Konette, but they usually meet at the Titans

Friends to Lovers 100%

They're both quiet and new and feeling out the dynamics

so they're often pushed together on purpose or by accident because the others are just so loud and chaotic

And then they become BFFs and are less inclined to join the others' chaos and so spend more time together, and so the cycle continues

And then one day something happens

Kon is Kryptonian and Mari had the Miraculous, they're usually the least-damaged members, but something happens, there's Kryptonite or magic or Something and one or both gets hurt.

The other jumps in front of them to take the blow because they can't let the other get hurt

"Why did you do that?!"

"I couldn't let you get hurt. You need to save our teammates."

Then the hurt one faints or passes out and the other confesses and thinks they can't hear them

They get back to the Tower safely and get treated and wake up and then they see the other

"Did you say you loved me, when I was passed out?"

"You heard that? Uh...yeah, I love you."

"I love you too!"

I haven't read much of any of the other ships to get a good feel on them, so I'm stopping here:)

Tag Team Tournament 2024

We're back for another year of good old fashioned fandom fun! This year the Tag Team Tournament will take place from Sunday, July 28th - Saturday, August 3rd, so make sure to save the date and get started on your projects early!

We've got some fun things planned this year, but we're also making some changes to how we're running the event this year! For the full rules and guidelines, check out our Event Guide Document, now newly revised for 2024! The short version is that we've changed some of our scoring to remove certain exploitable flaws that were exposed last year, clarified submission guidelines, added new ways to earn bonus points, and changed our team lineup!

Now, last year we had a very popular Shipping Bracket to determine who our eighth team would be, but this year we decided that we wanted out lead up event to better help you all prepare for this year's event. Also, @nottesilhouette asked really, really nicely for last year's runner up ship to get a chance in the Tournament, and how could we tell them no?

This year, our teams are:

Seamless Spin - Cassandra Cain x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

3's Company - Any Poly Ship

Rare Flair - Any Ship Without A Team

Lucky Shot - Roy Harper x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Spandex Flex - Dick Grayson x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Art Couple - Damian Wayne x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Java Junkies - Tim Drake x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Book Design - Jason Todd x Marinette Dupain-Cheng

We are super excited for this year's Tag Team Tournament, and we hope that you're excited too! To help you get in the creative spirit, and to hopefully inspire you with ideas, @newdog14 assembled playlists for each of our teams, which will be published one by one over the next few months. She got the idea for this after assisting with this year's Jasonette July Calendar Playlist, organized by @mochegato & @izanae, which we also encourage you to participate in.

Oh, and one more thing. We have heard that for some folks, particularly those who are responsible for small humans, the summertime is apparently not filled with an abundance for free time. So we thought we'd go ahead and give you all a little more to go on for your prep work this year, and as such we'll be publishing all of our prompts early this year, so be sure to keep an eye on our blog on Sundays going forward.

Many thanks to @newdog14, @nottesilhouette, and @izanae for their hard work in preparing this event. From brainstorming prompts to designing team logos to coding spreadsheets to tolerating certain people's tyrannical playlist standards, there's a lot of work that goes into an event this big! And thank you to everyone who has participated in this event, and to those who plan to participate this year. We could never pull this off without you!

1. Luke and Lorelai's first date is still adorably awkward and I love them.

2. Logan is still gorgeous and I'm still #TeamLogan

"THE FUTURE KICK YOUR ASS"

Christmas is finally here, and like many others, I’ve been busy celebrating the holidays with friends and folks I consider family, hence why this update is being filed later than usual I’m afraid.

Which means by the time most of you have read this, it’ll be too late to head on over to the latest King of Games’s holiday pop-up shop. Though considering how Hedgehog Books & Gallery is a bit out of reach for most folk, thankfully miki800 snapped took some pics…

The featured item this year was their new sweatshirt, inspired by the original Super Famicom packaging…

Though if given the chance, I probably would have picked up the pin set…

Actually, what I really wish I could get my hands on is this all-purpose King of Games shirt…

As well as a bag of their coffee (I’ve quite the java junkie)…

Right now, some folk are doing some last-minute holiday shopping, and miki800 is definitely the place to get idea, despite the fact that at this point, it’s more or less impossible to obtain the following attire.

Then again, the following Sega candy cab shirt is making its debut at Comiket at the end of the month, so you have just enough time before Christmas to book those flights and hotel rooms…

Hardcore Chocolate is doing shirts based on SNK! I picked up a few of their 80s American wrestling themed tees when I was in Japan ten years ago and have been dying to get something new from them. Like…

Now, given that it’s also winter, perhaps t-shirts might may cut it. So for those wanting something warmer, we’ve got a new batch of PaRappa sweatshirts and hoodies…

Sorry, but I’m so over gaudy Christmas sweaters. Though that being said, I really dig this one that’s Space Invaders themed. Maybe because it’s actually super stylish?

Yet what I really want is this Space Invaders jacket that was recently posted on Twitter…

Though the next time I’m in Japan, which is hopefully soon, my priority is to track down this Gamest jacket (via peazy86)

Perhaps a full on track suit is something I should explore? This illustration certainly has given me some ideas (via thewonderjar)…

And speaking of illustrations of a woman from behind who clearly enjoys a good game, here’s a really nice piece from amidstsilence…

Back to belated holiday gift ideas, something that’s finally coming out is 8 BIT MUSIC POWER FINAL; it’s publication date is on the 25th and most importers are shipping it in early January…

Speaking of music, remember that analog synth take on The Link To The Past’s soundtrack that I haven’t been too keen on? Well, for those did enjoy it, originalsoundversion reports that one can nab a physical version on cassette!

Though I can’t help mention the Luminist yet again, whose analog synth take on Super Metroid continues to progress quite nicely, but he doesn’t just do video game covers! The guy does original pieces as well, like…

Back to game music on tape, I wouldn’t mind finding out what else is on this (via charliecoffin)…

As you may have heard, there’s a brand new game cartridge being assembled for the Sega Genesis (provided it makes its Kickstarter goal and if everything else falls into place)…

hibachicandy recently shared some beauty shots of fight sticks that they’ve put together…

And speaking of shmups, here we see a configuration for Radiant Silvergun that you don’t see very often (via aaronkraten)…

And sticking with shmups the Tumblr, as well as RS, I’d love to get my hands on this superplay VHS tape…

Plus this DoDoDonPachi DaiOuJou superplay DVD disc…

Here’s a Gradius illustration that’s totally new to me (and I’d like that I’ve seen every last bit of officially imagery, provided that’s what it is), so perhaps it’s new to you as well?

No R-Type Final, thank YOU…

I also wouldn’t mind getting my hands on this R-Type model…

Since I’m fantasy shopping, please include this Panzer Dragoon model as well please (via galaxynextdoor)…

Please enjoy this classic commercial for the Famicom version of Xevious starring a member of Yellow Magical Orchestra…

Which animated gif starring the Mega Drive do you prefer? This one (via nctryzob)…

Or this one (via contac)…

And speaking of Mega Drives that can transform (via techturd)…

videogamesdensetsu recently posted some imagery associated with the game Last Bronx that I easily recognized, along the name of the artist, one that I’m very unfamiliar with! Apparently it’s Yoshitsugu Satō and “Little is known about him. It seems that he worked as a graphic and character designer at Sega AM3 then left the company sometimes around 1999”...

I also wonder who’s responsible for the artwork on the box for this Legend of Zelda board game (via mondo80s90spictorama)…

Thankfully I know who did this neat Metroid illustration; it’s droolingdemon…

tinsil explains: “when you’re a super hot super famous intergalactic bounty hunter with an image to maintain but also you were raised in isolation by birds and so you don’t know how to talk to girls”...

Meanwhile, here we have the ladies of Street Fighter doing what ladies do, which is train for the next big fight (via grrlmusic)…

Whereas the the boys of just like to bro-out (via hichamkiy)…

Though the absolute best cover to Club Capcom is obviously this one…

Which other couple do you prefer; Mario & Pauline, from the commercial for Donkey Kong cereal (via suppermariobroth)…

Or Sonic & Madonna, or at least a woman that resembles the pop singer, who was supposed to be a love interest once upon a time (via sonicthehedgeblog)…

Hey it’s Sonic as a mech, being controlled by Sonic (via sufami64)…

And it’s Sonic as a human being (via sonicthehedgeblog once again)…

Naturally, Sonic the Human has fan art; in this case, courtesy of drawloverlala…

As does Alex Kid (via segamastersystem)…

Moving from line art to pixel; here’s a wonderful piece by eto2d…

And here’s the Fresh Prince on the move (via it8bit)…

Longtime friend of Attract Mode, Kyle Fewell did this piece entirely on his Note 8!

Yup, that’s Moebius alright, who did the box art for the Matra & Hachette Alice personal computer, which was a French TRS-80 clone (via tvgame)…

No idea who did the following cover, but it’s a safe bet that whomever was behind the iron curtain at the time (via c86)…

Kinda/sorta speaking of the iron curtain, here we have Tetris being played at some mall in Japan, where they know how to celebrate Christmas proper...

Whereas I celebrate every Xmas with a few rounds of Christmas NiGHTS...

Though here we have Sonic Team’s more famous creation, also high above the ground (via sonicthehedgeblog, once more)…

But this time next year, I might have another Christmas themed game for my Saturn, which I had no idea existed until I saw @kingmonkey25’s tweet about it…

As for other recent Santa sightings in games, tvgame is back with the observation: “Plotting mischief in Street Fighter III”

Finally, here’s a video that explores all the different takes on Christmas music in video game music…

And that’s not all! Cuz it’s the holiday, and I finally have some down time, will be passing a second massive round-up of game culture nonsense tomorrow! Until then…

Don’t forget: Attract Mode is now on Medium! There you can subscribe to keep up to date, as well as enjoy some “best of” content you might have missed the first time around, plus be spared of the technical issues that’s starting to overtake Tumblr.

Tag Team Tournament 2024 - Most Valuable Players

In a Tournament such as our, every submission counts, and teams rely on everyone who contributes to their success. That said, some players submit more often than others, and as such we'd like to honor this year's MVP list, who were responsible for posting the most submissions on each team.

Art Couple MVP @tree-reads 3's Company MVP @velveteenshadow Seamless Spin MVP @otome-wandering Rare Flair MVP @olivia-anderson-fanfic Book Design MVP @mochegato Lucky Shot MVP @boldlyanxious Java Junkies MVP @olivia-anderson-fanfic Spandex Flex MVP @otome-wandering

Now, as this is a Tag Team style Tournament, our players have the option of tagging in for as many teams as they like, and therefore we would like to give a special shout out to the player who tagged in to four different teams, @otome-wandering!

We've got more awards to come, but in the spirit of tradition you'll have to look out for our next post.

Kings trade Bishop to Dallas? Um, what? How did Bishop even end up in LA? When did he leave Tampa? I thought he was like their star goalie or something.

Goes to show you how little I’ve been following hockey this past year (I blame it on the junky NHL website that seems like some intern decided it was better to use a lot of Java or Flash whatever instead of making the site useful and accessible like it used to be. I’ll never get over that.) But at least I finally got the app so I can receive sometimes useful news like this, and lots of annoying daily “Who is the greatnest NHL team” and vote for “Kraft Hockeyville” or whatever notifications.

Top Three Shows/Dramas/Animes: At the moment, Saiunkoku Monogatari (which I found on accident after binging on Fushigi Yuugi and was sticking the first few volumes of Genbu Kaiden into my wish list - I read the manga and then have been binging on the anime; I’m still early in season two), Supergirl (it’s not perfect, but overall is good), and Haven (because I’m still not over how it ended oh my God I’m DEAD).

Top Three Favourite Characters: I CAN’T JUST PICK THREE, OKAY. But I guess if I had to pick three that I’m currently fawning over, Kou Shuurei, Shi Ryuuki, and Si Seiran from Saiunkoku Monogatari.

Top Three Ships: Team Pancakes (Nathan and Audrey 5EVA), Java Junkies (you can pry Lorelai and Luke from my cold, dead hands), and all four sides of the Marinette/Adrien love square (because variety is the spice of life!).
