I was already onboard with bisexual Alya to begin with, but what really cinched it for me was Tikki choosing her as Marinetteās replacement for the ladybug miraculous duringĀ Transmission. Because if thereās one thing that this show has been pushing since day one, itās that Marinette and Adrien are made for each other. Fu mentions it while congratulating himself on choosing the right holders at the end of Stone Heart, Jessica and Aeon talk about it after spending ten minutes around them in the New York special, and Tikki comments on how they draw their strength from it when Plagg tells her they need to find new holders.
And see, Iāve got this idea in my head. Just from watching the way that Tikki and Plagg have thrown out certain comments throughout the series to encourage Marinette to keeping thinking about Adrien, or let Adrien know that āHey, youāre acting kind of weird about someone you consider ājust a friend.āā Iāve started to wonder if maybe the ladybug and cat miraculous actually do draw power from their holdersā feelings towards each other. Literally. What if every holder of these two miraculous have actually had some degree of chemistry with one another, and for whatever strange reason, the kwamis are able to sense it, and use it to enhance their powers. Joan of Arc and the Dark Grimalkin were just the only two who actually got together before setting aside their mission, thus Tikki wasnāt obligated to mention them when Marinette asked in Reunion.
This would mean that when Tikki chose Alya, Plagg had to use this mysterious sixth sense to find someone who would be absolutely perfect for Alya. But as we all know, Nino is incapable ofĀ keeping a secret identity to himself to save his life, so. . .
What Iām getting at is that Plagg and Zoe were about to fuck up Ninoās whole relationship and he should be grateful Hawkmoth invaded the school when he did.Ā
i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did

"When their lips pressed together, it wasnāt the same hesitant kiss theyād shared before, which had been slow and tinged with curiosity. It was charged with something more desperateāsomething Chat Noir couldnāt explain but didnāt care enough to. All that mattered at the moment was the feeling of her lips on his, soft as they glided along his in a fervent motion, and the warmth of her wine-scented breath as it blew into his mouth, like kindling to the ever-growing fire that blazed in his heart. Even as their noses bumped and teeth lightly clashed, he wanted more."

Plus some sketches I did before settling for this one! I like how they look like sequence when they're together like this šš
