Ladies & Gentlemen : Head-cannons
[Someone suggested I should this so here we are]
-Stephan was definitely chased around by people who only wanted to be his friend to get a leg up in higher class society, so he always avoided them and made himself seem unpleasant. He’s likely never had any real friends before Francois DuPont.
-His type is artistic people with multiple talents. He won’t entertain anyone who is all talk and no effort as shown when he rebuffed Lila and shut down Adrien.
-For their first date, Stephan would most likely take Marinette to an amusement park, fashion museum, or a fancy night dinner.
-If Stephan were to ruin Adrien’s life, he would do it socially as his father would frown at trying to ruin Gabriel’s company. But he has no qualms about trying to outshine the company.
-Stephan’s father was the one who taught him everything about social manipulation and intimidation tactics. He had to get his attitude from somewhere.
-Stephan loves Marinette’s designs, but loves modeling them for her even more.
-Marinette is his first girlfriend and the first person he’d ever been curious about. Whenever they spend time together, they usually go to parks and hang out at her internships.
-Before going to Francois DuPont, Stephan only used manipulation for himself and only his vindictive side if he was provoked or disrespected first. Now with Marinette and his friends, he’d use his social charm to protect them from others.
-He’s an Aquarius, that’s for sure.
-For model work, he is actually very active to the clothing designing process more than the modeling part, though does enjoy it.
-Any person who tries to harm Marinette can say good bye to their social life. Messing with Stephan is basically like committing social suicide.
-Marinette is unaware of the threats toward Adrien and finds Stephan to be amazing.
-She secretly resents Adrien for never standing up for her whenever Lila started on her BS.
-Despite his morally grey methods, all of her friends support their relationship because deep down, Stephan is a good person.
-I can imagine him being the new Cat hero if Adrien were removed from the team.
-In his conquest to destroy anyone who is a threat to his plans or happiness, he has shown resourcefulness and wits, as shown when he patiently (found) compiled a bunch of clips of Chat Noir’s less than noble moments and used his platform to promote the evidence in order to shake Paris’ faith in the hero. Yeah, his reach is wide spread. I wouldn’t get on his bad side.
-He’d have no problem getting Lila blacklisted from the fashion and photography industries if she tries anything funny.
-Lila may be a charming liar, but Stephan is a charismatic genius, capable of wrapping an entire school around his fingers, charm an entire city as the new hero, and bring about social demise to anyone who tries to cross him.
-He is a very attentive and caring boyfriend who is always willing to listen and can pick up on any questions that show if Marinette is upset.
That’s all I have for now. I might add more later.

“So this is Jake's fault, right?” Randy asked.
Danny made a noise of agreement as they continued running down the hallway, red flashing against their eyes and alarms ringing through the air.
And okay, it wasn't really Jake's fault they were being chased by a killer robot after breaking out of some holding cells.
Ever since Jake had turned 16, he'd been getting more duties outside of New York, really stepping up into his role as the American Dragon. NYC was still his home, his main area of protection, and the main capital of the magical community; he wasn't leaving anytime soon.
But occasionally a smaller community would reach out, asking for help with bigger problems they couldn't handle and he couldn't answer over the phone or e-mail. So Jake began traveling (through mundane or magical means), and solving the problems in person.
And occasionally dragging his out-of-town friends along with him.
Which is how the four of them ended up here: in an off-the-books government facility in Horrible, Arkansas, and made up of the same branch as the GIW.
(Danny had groaned out loud in his and Rand's cell, thunking his head against the bars when he heard that.
The agent that was interrogating them gave him a weird look.
“He's from Amity Park.” Randy said solemnly, patting Danny’s shoulder.
The agent went white so fast Randy honestly thought he was about to pass out before fleeing the room.
“Wow,” Randy said, “Y'all's city really is a curse.”)
The four of them had literally stumbled onto the grounds, got searched and had most of their stuff taken away, and thrown into holding cells where agents would periodically come to interrogate them on how they found the place and who else knows about it.
Danny had phased them through the back wall as soon as they were left alone, and accidently ran directly into a wall of weapons that fell on top of them both. Randy only got a sore shoulder, but something zapped Danny and he hadn't been able to transform since.
Which was when the alarms went off.
And when they discovered that the facility used killer robots as security and were all too happy to shoot a couple of teenagers.
Now they were running for their lives trying to find their stuff and their friends without getting shot by the robots or the agents.
They skidded around another corner, and Danny grabbed open the nearest door, throwing it open to check for their stuff.
Instead they were met with two startled agents in the middle of grabbing their weapons.
Randy didn't waste the chance and spun around Danny, landing a kick in the first man's diaphragm and then bringing his knee up just as the man bent over to gasp for air.
(The ninja suit let him be faster, stronger, more bouncy, and protected him from hard hits. The lessons and training of 800 years worth of ninjas were pressed into the fabric enabling him to fight when he had never done it before. He still had training though. He spent hours in the Nomicon practicing the moves and katas his brain knew but his body didn't. Following the footsteps and marks the Nomicon drew out around him, mirroring the poses the illustrated samurai and dragons went though. And lately, following along next to the First Ninja as he performed the moves next to him, occasionally fixing his posture, as Plop Plop chattered nearby.
Being the Ninja wasn't all cool flips and awesome weapons. Even without the mask, Randy was still a ninja.)
Danny took the chance to leap onto the other agent's back trying to get his weapon, throwing the man off balance right as he tried to shoot Randy.
The shot went wide and hit the wall, leaving a faint scorch mark on the white plaster. Randy dived under the shot, rolling forward right past the agent. He kicked his leg out, catching him in the back of the knee, right as Danny yanked the weapon out of his grasp and leapt off the agent's back. Between the teenager using him as a springboard and his leg giving out on him, the agent hit the floor hard. Danny didn't give him the chance to get his bearings and swung the weapon, clocking him over the head.
He swayed for a minute before hitting the ground. He wasn't unconscious but he wasn't getting off the floor anytime soon.
Randy and Danny high-fived before fleeing back out the door.
“Randy, that was awesome!” Danny exclaimed as they checked the other doors for their stuff. “I didn't know you could do that!”
“I know, I know, I'm the Bruce McCheese. Hold your applause,” Randy bragged as he opened the last door in the hallway to reveal yet another supply closet. Running past Danny, he punched him in the shoulder, “I'm still a ninja without the mask Casper.”
“What was that? I couldn't hear you over your ego getting in the way!” Danny laughed as he turned the corner, only to catch a metal leg in his stomach. His back hit the wall and his stolen weapon went flying away from him.
“DANNY!” Randy screeched, knowing he wouldn't get there in time as the security bot charged up to fire.
His feet and hands moved before he could think about it.
‘Separate - Gather - Free’
Randy could feel the energy pool through him, starting with his feet (“Your stance grounds you,” First Ninja said, “It centers you. It's the most important part of using the spells.") and surging upwards through his body in a way he's never felt while in the suit. Randy could feel the air thicken in his palms and he thrust out his hands just as the energy hit his palms and the top of his head.
“Ninja AIR-FIST!”
He could see the ninja magic hit the security robot and smash it into the wall. All the energy that had surged through him faded out, leaving Randy feeling like he just played Grave Puncher for two days straight.
He swayed for a moment, exhaustion hitting him like a brick, before he stumbled over to a gob-smacked Danny.
“Since when could you do that?” Danny asked as he scrambled to his feet.
Randy braced himself against the wall, “Uhhhhhhhhh……now I guess?”
Danny looked at the dented wall, then back at Randy. “Can you do it again?”
“Nngh….think I'll pass out if I did.”
“Alright, last resort then. And I still can't go ghost.”
Randy groaned. “Man we are shoobed.”
“We just need to find the others…..and our stuff.” Danny crouched down in front of Randy. “Alright hop on. You look like you're about to pass out now.”
“Pretty sure it'd just slow us down.” Randy said, even as he wrapped his arms around Danny's neck.
“Dude it's like I'm holding a couple of grapes. What are you, 80 pounds soaking wet?”
“Screw you too.” He dug his heel into Danny's thigh, “Giddee up. I think I hear the others breaking things up ahead.”
Jake and Adrien were indeed in the next hallway over, both transformed and absolutely wrecking anything they came across.
“Hey guys!” Chat grinned at them, impaling the last security bot with his staff. “We were looking for you!”
“Yo Ribbons! What happened to you?” Jake flew over to hand them their backpacks.
“Turns out Mister Ninja over here can use his ninja magic out of the mask.”
Jake blinked at them, “You can do that?”
“Apparently,” Randy said as he slid off Danny's back, “if I want to feel like I went ten rounds with a hoard of robo-apes.”
“Oof.” Jake shook his backpack at them as Randy pulled on his mask. “Well we found the main computer room, stole a bunch of hard drives that I'm going to give to Spud and Tucker, and Chat broke like, everything in there with a Cataclysm so no need to worry about cameras.”
“And we found out what they are called.” Adrien chimed in, “Beings Under Government Surveillance. They had a sign.”
“Bugs?”
“B.U.G.S.!”
“No wonder the GIW are such pests!” Danny and Adrien said together, high fiving. Randy snickered at the pun.
“Yeah, you're all comedians, can we go? The missing fairies are running loose and I've got to figure out if they need to move, or if they'd be fine with some more magic barriers around their town.”
“And I really gotta talk to the Nomicon. It's wack they didn't warn me about this.”
~~~~
Later in the Nomicon:
First Ninja stared at him in disbelief, “You did what.”

With the upcoming Miraculous World Special, I hope we can finally get more likable Miraculous villains in Shadybug and Claw Noir!
I mean..... so far, not counting akumatized villains, the only actual villain I found likeable was Natalie/Mayura! And still, there were moments where I really didn't like her, like when she destroyed Sentibug — essentially killing a living creature!
Gabriel, Chloe and Lila? Confirmed Hate Sinks!
Felix? More of an Anti-Villain actually! He had good intentions at heart, as he only wanted to help Adrien! Plus, his status as a villain was ambiguous for most of the show! It was only after he betrayed Ladybug in season 4 (because his life was literally in his Uncle's hands) that he could really be called a villain, but he was actually revealed as an Anti-Villain and began his redemption not even a whole season later (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just saying)!
If Shady and Claw are actual villains (not Anti-Villains or Anti-Heroes or anything) then this could be the producers' chance to finally give us some actual villains who are actually likeable! Like, make them snarky, relatable, badass and have an interesting dynamic! They don't have to be good guys or something and still be interesting to watch!
Especially considering they are essentially evil reflections of ladybug and Chat Noir, they have the potential to become the best villains in the whole show, even if they really do get redeemed in the end! So DON'T screw it up writers!
DON'T make them cold blooded murderers, DON'T make them major jerkasses who loose their temper for NO reason (Basically, don't make them like Gabriel — in both points), and DON'T. YOU. DARE go with the stereotype of Emo's being depressed and suicidal or something!
Come on Astruc! Give us that badass emo villain couple we want!

not ppl under your mylene & chloe post saying its unfair that chloe doesn't get excused for her actions, but marinette always does 💀💀💀
It’s amazing how simple post like these can just spiral into so many directions 💀
Its almost like Chloe is written to be an antagonist and Marinette is written to be the protagonist whose one if its function is to make mistakes to help move a plot forward and has to work on resolving them for development 🤔
Nah that can’t be it…

I don't know what's happened in Miraculous Ladybug after the New York special but I have a feeling they took Gabriel and made him even worse so if they did I am simply ignoring that and deciding that he stops being a little punk, asks Ladybug for help with Emilie, apologizes to Adrien and becomes the father he needs him to be and also Nathalie is able to heal both physically and emotionally from the whole "assisting in terrorizing Paris because she's to smitten to say no" situation that happened.
#Gabriel and Nathalie were the primary reasons I ever started watching Miraculous#And I feel like Gabriel had SO much potential in being an iredeemable-but-redeemed-anyway villain#And I am a SUCKER for an antagonist who's done horrible awful things#feel immense remorse for their wrongdoing and trying to correct it#I just think that Gabriel should have been the first Miraculous villain#and after he is redeemed is able to prove his remorse by fighting against another even bigger baddie#Like I have this whole story idea basically#Gabriel asks for help with Emilie. Ladybug has a moment of weakness because she sees the pain he is expiriencing#the wish very specifically is meant to revive Emilie and make it so that Hawkmoth never existed#But Emilie is even more sinister than he ever was so he has to actually reverse the wish#And set the timeline back to normal and deal with the consequences of his actions#And someone else comes up out of the woodwork with a powerful miraculous after a couple months#You know give everyone some months to process everything. Get some therapy.#Then Ladybug realizes that if they are going to fight this villain they need not only all the miraculous users#But an adult with expirience battling and can actually maintain the whole suit-form thing for a good while#And who fits that bill but Gabriel Agreste#Badabing Badaboom he has an Opportunity to prove that he truly regrets what he did#Say what you will about Gabriel#Im just a sucker for a good redemption story and I think that Gabriel could have had one of the most delectable ones since Zuko's#give adrien a good dad dang it#merkerler speaks#miraculous ladybug

i finally watched mlb's derision episode and. okay yeah the writing in this season REALLY stepped up?? i like how it retroactively made the previous seasons slightly better with the context it gave about marinette's PTSD, like i've been dying to see what the fuck chloe did to make marinette's life so awful and now we got like a small glimpse of it ITS VERY NICE ?????? LIKE. FINALLY
i still HATE how chloe is been turned to this cartoon supervillain girl though lmfao. good on adrien and sabrina for finally seeing her true colors but like....................thats not the og chloe................... not to me...........
she did have the best line of dialogue, when adrien told her "you only think of yourself" aND SHE JUST WENT "WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT?????" SHES SO FUCKING FUNNY EVEN WHEN SHES BEING FLANDERIZED BY THE WRITERS GUYS
also shoutout to rose and mylene for roasting the shit out of chloe like. "dont be mad at [her], shes like this because her mom left her when she was little" and "SO DID MINE BUT YOU DONT SEE ME BULLYING MARINETTE"

Felix being Adrien’s flawed copy is good and smart and beautiful and a fandom favourite but honestly. Honestly. We’re not making good enough use of the information canon gave us. Namely that:
Felix is the Graham de Vanily heir, while Adrien is the son of a nouveau riche (ergo a commoner) and a prodigal child: the ultimate sign of his family’s decadence is that he has to work (ew).
Felix was born out of jealousy towards his cousin: Colt would have designed (or at least, meant to design) his child to be superior in all aspects.
Felix wasn’t always this serious, ring-stealing, people-snapping antagonist we have grown to love and cherish: at heart, he’s a theatre kid and a magician. He’s associated with the sun and the colour white and golden tones, while Adrien is linked to the moon and black and silver accents.
For all his identity stealing shenanigans, Felix has a strong sense of self (see: Representation) while Adrien has no clue who he actually is and/or wants to be when he grows up (see: the entire series).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What I’m saying is: Adrien as Felix’s first draft. Adrien who grew up in the spotlight, but never shone as bright as his noble, curious, quick-witted cousin; Adrien who loved Felix’s stories and plays and magic tricks, and does not understand why his cousin grew quieter as the years went by; Adrien desperately trying to fill in the blanks with jokes and puns, only for them to fall flat, because he simply isn’t Felix.
Adrien as Felix’s first draft.

Reverse Emilie Agreste didn’t die from a broken miraculous she clearly murdered by Superme
Gabriel mentions that he used to work for Superme's court but stole the miraculous of butterfly and peacock for what he wanted most
What he wanted the most is of course ; create Adrien
However the miraculous in Emilie's hand in the Gabriel’s song is not broken
Tumblr media
Even if it was already broken it is very likely that this person who also gave Toxinelle and Griffe Noir their miraculous is Master Fu which is the evil antagonist of that universe and we all know he have the knowledge to fix a broken miraculous
Also there blood details around Emilie's hand in the image
Tumblr media
There is a huge Superme logo behind Gabriel who is crying hysterically and holding Emilie's dead body
This entire image which looks like a murder scene gives the impression that Superme killed Gabriel's wife Emilie in revenge for stealing peacock and butterly miraculous
Tumblr media
At the end of the generic we see Gabriel who fights with Superme to avenge his wife and wants to bring peace to the Dystopia he lives in
Also that means Griffe Noir working for his mom’s killer without knowing when he wanted to bring her back to life so badly

seeing a lot of talk of the season 5 finale, which is fun, i get that it was controversial (honestly the fact it was really risky is kind of one of the things i like about it lol) and wanting to add my two cents but can't think of much i haven't already said before
but something i do want to emphasize is that season 5 ending on Marinette telling the biggest, boldest faced lie she's ever told (that goes far beyond "protecting her identity") to kick off the Lila arc is by far the coolest thing they could've done imo, because I was not at all excited for the Lila arc before but now I'm totally invested. Now Lila isn't the Evil Liar to be taken down by Good Marinette. Marinette is the liar to be taken down by the very liar that she took down. It's not a story of "defeat that freakishly evil girl" anymore, but instead a story of "Marinette's own actions and decisions coming back to bite her". And the lie itself (WHICH LILA KNOWS IS A LIE!!) only exists because, and is most impactful towards, her relationship with Adrien, which is the core of the series!! I CARE about their relationship, and that's the stakes!!!
I just cannot get over how cool that is, and how much I didn't expect it. I know we all were expecting a big fight with Ladybug and Chat Noir just defeating Gabriel and then watching Chat Noir cry or whatever in the few remaining minutes of screen-time and then it's all over and done with, but that's a series finale. This was a season finale. And they did something really unique and unexpected with it, while making sure it's a juicy season-finale conflict that leaves me actually excited about season 6
also, a side note— I think the framing of the finale made this confusing so I totally get why discussions about it are kind of all over the place, but... 90% of the post-wish stuff we saw had nothing to do with Gabriel at all. It was all Mayor Bustier, who was already running for mayor and wanted to enact green laws and projected to win (she was up against D'Argencourt, the character whose schtick is that nobody ever votes for him in elections). I don't think Gabriel's wish included "Please, Gimmi, I want my son's school teacher to win the mayoral election this year" lol. So a lot of talk of "why is Gabriel's World presented in such a positive light?" is kind of weird to me. That's not Gabriel's World. That's Caline Bustier's. All we know so far about Gabriel's World is that Nathalie is in it and he is not. And frankly, the fact everyone is so happy and cheerful and living it up after his death is more a roast than anything
( also, just a reminder that the presentation of Gabriel's statue— the only scene discussing Gabriel in a positive light by someone In The Know— was done by Tomoe Tsurugi, a series antagonist, vowing to continue his work, with a song in minor key playing in the background. i feel like the question of "was this meant to be unsettling or triumphant?" is pretty obvious. just wanted to remind everyone. also by definition characters cannot celebrate gabriel as a "hero" without in the same breath celebrating monarch's, aka gabriel's, death. yknow? )

Wait people actually believe Gabriel was redeemed in the end? He manipulated people up to his dying breath and wished to be seen as a hero. I know the ending seemed strange, but it definitely did so purposefully. This was a set up for the conflict next season not a wrap up of his arc.
I get the initial shock, but this show never held back on the abusive nature of Gabriel. In season 5 alone the total shift of Gabriel was idgaf about my son’s happiness and being mad at his lack of control he has on him. The last thing he did was control Adrien’s perspective of him. He went from wanting to be with his wife to being completely power hungry. His power hunger lead to Gimmi granting his desires.
And if that still isn’t enough to comfort people just remember that every season ends with a set up for the conflict that will follow in the next season:
Season 1 finale introduced Lila as an antagonist interested in the Miraculous and Marinette’s personal life which lead to Lila’s arc start which more so carried out in later seasons.
Season 2 finale introduced Mayura and Ladybug, Chat Noir the other heroes had their first epic fight beyond the scope of villain of the week. This lead to the introduction of sentimonsters and Mayura’s arc which heavily carried out in season 3.
Season 3 finale was another epic fight, but this time against Hawkmoth and Mayura. Master Fu’s identity becomes compromised leading to him passing down his guardianship to Marinette. This introduced Marinette’s guardian arc and season 4 heavily focused on her struggles with being one and maintaining peace with Chat Noir. This season also ended with both the love square “moving on” from one another which in turn caused season 4 to focus on their alternative ships.
Season 4 finale ended with Ladybug loosing the miraculous after being swindled by Felix. Felix offering a trade off with Gabriel for the Peacock miraculous. We literally ended with Ladybug having a mental breakdown and Chat Noir comforting her. This introduced the Monarch arc. Season 5 dealt with the consequences of this mistake.
So what I am trying to say each season finale ends with something that makes you wonder what will happen next. It never ends with a final conclusion only introduction to the next big arc. Seeing a weird reality where Gabriel is remembered as a hero despite us seeing him as villainous as ever to the very end isn’t his conclusion it’s a new arc.

Haha new mlb role swap au
Tumblr media
The kwamis still have the same power concepts, but they swap personalities, miraculous jewellery, and weapons. Marinette and Adrien also swap roles/lives. Adrien becomes the main character, and he deals with the akumas instead of Marinette. Not sure if Marinette's mum or dad takes on the butterfly antagonist yet, though XD

Chloé Bourgeois, plus 1 bonus Zoé Lee-Bourgeois. I did a hard overhaul of Chloé's design and character. The yellow sweater and white pants were truly atrocious. I liked her concept design with the monochromatic outfit but for my redesign I gave her a deep blue jumpsuit, and a white jacket.
I knew I was going to have Lila as the primary antagonist for Marinette's civilian life. Meaning having Chloé as one too would be redundant. They seemed to understand that in canon as they started playing with the idea of giving her a character arc.
So how to make Chloé an antagonist without her being villainous? Why by making her Marinette's rival of course! And Chloé is like- really into their rivalry. She has a very "Only Marinette is worthy to best me" attitude about things. Which means its no fun if other people butt in.
Chloé does have a bit of a "I'm better than you" attitude, but most don't realize it's unintentional. She works hard to maintain both her fathers political favor and her many investments. But she doesn't lie to the people she respects, and is rather brutally honest about her opinions on her classmates. What she thinks is constructive criticism usually comes off as rude, but any compliment is 100% genuine.
There are few people who understand that, Adrien and Sabrina are two of them. Marinette is the other, over their years of knowing each other she slowly began to realize what Chloé's word meant. That changed her view of her rival, and the two now push each other to their best.
Alya does not understand how Chloé works and tends to get frustrated with the girl, and vice versa. However, the Rena Rouge and Queen Bee are best friends. Bonding over their love of super heroes and devotion to bringing villains to justice.
Now onto Zoé, I'll go into detail for her later. But the main thing you need to know is she's 9 years old, and her big sister loves her very much. Chloé will never forgive her mother for cheating on her dad, but the one thing Audrey did right is giving her the most wonderful baby sister to adore.

Hi. I was wondering since Felix now has a peacock miraculous, will he be added to your Angelic layer Au? Love your Scarlet Lady au by the way ;)
I'd definitely like to draw him up as well as an Angel of Argos for him. I'm mostly just having trouble fitting any of the antagonists into the AU.
Angelic Layer is essentially one long tournament arc with no long lasting enemies. In the manga especially, everyone who's antagonistic just needs to be beaten into friendship by Misaki, and even those characters are rare - pretty much everyone is just having a good time. The anime (which I'm watching for the first time) has some one off characters to challenge Misaki's naivette but they disappear as soon as they're beaten too. No one's really a long standing enemy in the series.
The most I have for Gabriel is that Adrien hides his identity as a player so that Gabriel doesn't find out, implying he either dislikes the game or dislikes his son having fun of any sort lol. Unless I give him a Tragic Angelic Layer Backstory it's a little difficult to think of a reason why he'd be playing as Hawkmoth that makes any sense. But maybe if I finish the anime it'll give me some ideas through Misaki's mother.

I still find it funny how the show trying to make Chloe look like this awful monster that came straight from hell unintentionally makes a lot of the other characters worse.
Buster being blissfully unaware of Chloe and Sabrina cheating for the entire year despite them sitting directly in front of her the entire time. Her dragging Marinette and Chloe to the office because it looks like Marinette slapped Chloe in the face only then to immediately try to guilt Chloe into a possible false confession by bring up a private and personal matter.
Plagg suggesting to slowly and painfully murder a 14 year old because she was mean to her sister one time in his presence while not doing or saying shit about Gabriel abusing Adrien for an entire year.
Andre the ice cream man, apparently having been illegally selling food without a permit for seemingly decades and refuses to get one once he's finally caught
Andre bourgeois, pins the blame of his corrupted political career onto Chloe, trades Chloe to Audrey, while acknowledging Audrey is abusive, for the stepdaughter he has no legal claim or right to.
I can go on but I'm pretty sure we all get the picture
This is a problem with how the show writes the good guys in general.
In order to make antagonists like Chloe come across as a plausible threat, pretty much everyone who isn't one of the main characters has to be completely oblivious to the problems this girl is causing, because in any other setting, real or fictional, it'd be pretty easy to stop her antics. As demented as Plagg's suggestion to murder Chloe is, at least he had some semblance of an idea to stop her from bullying people.
