A Random Headcanon: Why Marc Anciel Should Never Have Coffee Part II☕🚫
The madness continues, everyone! Enjoy this wild ride!
Collège Françoise Dupont: Hallways
(Marc storms down the school hallways, narrowly avoiding crashing into bystanders or metal poles, and desperately trying to escape the red-haired artist that was on his tail.)
Nathaniel: (yells out) Marc Anciel, hand over that coffee this instant!
Marc: (hisses at the artist as he continues running) NO! IT’S MINE! I NEED IT!
Nathaniel: You don’t need any more coffee, Marc! You need sleep!
Marc: I’LL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD!!!
Nathaniel: Which will be soon if he keeps drinking that coffee like it’s water. Marc, please-...(Marc starts hissing at him again) Stop hissing at me already!
(Nathaniel kept running after Marc, who was surprisingly even faster than he usually was. It was no secret that Marc was already more athletically gifted with his feet than Nathaniel. Heck, Marc didn’t even need the caffeine adrenaline boost to outrun Nathaniel on any other day. However, Nathaniel knew that if he could somehow get the “jump on Marc”, he would have the advantage. Utilizing a quick rush of energy and pushing himself to run faster, Nathaniel was able to catch up to Marc enough to pounce on the writer and try to hold him down while reaching for the cup in his hand. The writer then begins to thrash and struggle wildly as he tries to escape the artist’s hold while keeping his coffee out of the redhead’s reach.)
Marc: GET OFF OF ME! LET GO OF ME! LET GO, NATH! (hisses)
Nathaniel: Okay, he’s seriously got to knock it off with the hissing. I’m sorry, Marc, but I’m doing this for your own good!
(Nathaniel struggles to keep his hold on his frantic partner. He had almost forgotten how it was last time to wrestle the coffee away from Marc. Marc wasn’t that much stronger than Nathaniel in terms of upper-body strength, but that adrenaline rush was making it difficult for Nathaniel to keep Marc pinned down long enough for him to snatch the coffee away from him. He was kind of hoping that the fact that he weighed slightly more than Marc would at least give him some advantage over the writer, but so far it was not working out the way he had hoped.)
Marc: (frantically begs) Nath, please! I swear, I’ll stop tomorrow! I won’t drink it anymore after today! Please, just let me have this today!
(Nathaniel then starts to gain the upper hand as he shifts his body weight forward to help pin down Marc’s upper body, including his free hand that was securely clutched around his coffee cup. Nathaniel begins reaching his hand closer and closer to the blue tumbler cup.)
Nathaniel: I don’t think so, Marc! You are going to stop right here and now!
(As Nathaniel’s hand drew closer to the forbidden drink, Marc’s mind began to frantically race with ideas of how he could possibly escape. Nathaniel’s arm was close enough that Marc could just bite it or bash his head against his chin, and then break free while his partner’s hold on him was weakened as he writhed in pain, but Marc detested the fact that idea would even cross his mind. Even in his erratic state, Marc would never want to try to hurt Nathaniel. He then thought about pretending that Nathaniel was hurting him too much, but he knew that plan wouldn’t have worked either. After all, he pulled that same trick on Nathaniel once before and the writer knew that Nathaniel wasn’t gullible enough to fall for the same trick twice. Time was running out and his options were limited. As Nathaniel’s fingers finally touched the cup, Marc decided to resort to the only trick that he could think of.)
Marc: (feigns shock and panic) OH SHIT! AN AKUMA!!!!
Nathaniel: (shocked) WHAT?!
(Nathaniel’s fingers came to a halt and he immediately started jerking his head around, looking for any dark, malicious butterflies. With his partner distracted and his hold on Marc weakened, the writer was able to turn the tables on the artist and throw him off of his body as he sprang up onto his feet. Without wasting any time for Nathaniel to recover from the shock, Marc immediately took off in the opposite direction. Nathaniel mentally cursed himself for falling for the writer’s trick.)
Nathaniel: Curse my paranoia of daily evil butterfly attacks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collège Françoise Dupont: Courtyard
(The comic book duo’s chase continued in the school’s courtyard. As Marc ran down the stairs with Nathaniel hot on his trail and yelling at the writer to stop, the students from both Miss. Bustier’s and Ms. Mendeleiev’s classes watched this scene in bewilderment. Many of them were confused and concerned as to why Nathaniel was chasing Marc around the school as well as why the writer’s appearance looked so disheveled.)
Nathaniel: (shouts to the others around him) STOP HIM! SOMEBODY GRAB HIM!
Marc: DON’T LISTEN TO HIM! EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS A LIE!
Chloé: (snickers to Sabrina) Trouble in paradise, I presume?
Marc: (flips the bird as he continues to avoid Nathaniel) Fuck you, Chloé, you “Walking One-Dimensional Possibly Bleach Blonde Regina George Stereotype”!
(Everyone in the courtyard gasped, not only shocked by the fact that Marc had just cussed but also by the devastating burn he just inflicted on Chloé. The blonde bitch would have retorted if she weren’t rendered speechless by the writer’s uncharacteristic roast or if the writer wasn’t running around in zigzags trying to avoid his partner. Deciding to get to the bottom of what was going on, Ivan got in the middle of the duo as he tried to help de-escalate the situation.)
Ivan: Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! Hey guys, what’s going on?
Nathaniel: (points his finger at Marc) Marc has coffee!
(Everyone’s attention immediately turned to Marc, his eyes frantically shifting all over the place as he tried to find an escape route.)
Marinette: Wait…What?!
Mirelle: Marc has coffee?!
Aurore: Oh no!
Jean: (rubs his arm nervously) Not again…
Alya: This is so not good…
Nino: Who gave Marc coffee?
(As many of the students started voicing their concerns, there were also a few students who voiced their confusion on this new revelation.)
Noelle: (flabbergasted) Wait, this is why “No Coffee for Marc”? I know he wasn’t allowed to have it, but this is why?!
Juleka (mumbles to Noelle) His moms won’t let him have any because the caffeine worsens his anxiety and gives him panic attacks.
Max: (whispers to Noelle) While Marc never consumes large quantities of caffeine regularly, he does have a small history of sneaking the beverage whenever he is faced with more work than he can handle and tries to do it all in one sitting. And well, let’s just say that Marc’s anxiety plus overwork stress multiplied by large consumption of caffeine tends to cause his behavior to become-...
Noelle: Batshit crazy?
Max: I was going to say “erratic”, but I suppose that is another way of putting it.
Zoé: (confused) Wait, so this has happened before?
Jean: (cringes as he starts backing away slowly) Oh yeah, you weren’t here that last time….(continues rubbing his arm).
Devin: (looks at Jean with a raised eyebrow) Why are backing away? Are you-...wait, are you seriously afraid right now? You’re scared of Ancie-....er I mean Marc?
Jean: Well of course I am! You didn’t see what happened last time, either! The last time Marc went crazy on caffeine and we tried to take the coffee away from him, he bit my arm!
Devin: (rolls his eyes in disbelief) You people are acting like fools. This is Marc we are talking about. Do you really expect me to believe he becomes this unstable whenever he drinks a little caffeine?
Nathaniel: (calls out) He’s had five cups of coffee!
(Many of the students gasped again, even Devin looked taken aback.)
Devin: Well, damn. Never mind then.
Rose: (shocked) Five cups of coffee?
Mylène: That can’t be good for his anxiety! He could be on the verge of a panic attack!
Kim: Wait, so that’s his fifth cup of coffee?!
Nathaniel: Sixth.
Marc: (starts fast-talking frantically) He’s lying, guys! Don’t believe him! C’mon, Nath doesn’t know what he’s talking about! He’s talking crazy! I swear, this isn’t coffee!
Nathaniel: (smirks) Swear on your little brother’s life?
Marc: (stomps his foot in frustration) Damn it, Nath! Stop bringing my family into this! That’s just low!
Nino: So that is coffee.
Marc: (pulls the cup closer to his chest protectively) Okay, yes! But it’s not mine, I swear! I’m just holding it for a friend!
Nathaniel: (raises an eyebrow) Oh really? (turns to the two classes in the courtyard) Anyone who asked Marc to hold onto their coffee for them, please raise your hand.
(As expected, no one from either of the two classes put their hand up. A few of them made comments confirming that they did not ask the writer to hold onto their coffee for them. All eyes fell onto Marc, who was becoming increasingly nervous and unraveled.)
Nathaniel: So, who’s lying now?
Marc: (starts backing up slowly) No! That’s not what I meant. I-I…I was talking about a different friend! Y-Yeah…that’s right! You guys don’t know them! T-They went to my old school and-...
Nathaniel: (crosses his arms) Okay, now we know that’s an obvious lie! We all know that you don’t have any friends who went to that school with you!
Noelle: (clears her throat) Ahem…
Nathaniel: I mean except for her, but my point still stands!
Adrien: (holds his hands up in a placating gesture as he takes a few slow steps towards Marc) Marc, please just let us help you.
Nino: Make this easier for yourself. Put down the coffee and kick it over to us.
Ivan: We don’t want you getting hurt, Marc. We just want to help you.
Marinette: Whatever it is that’s been stressing you out, I’m sure we can help you together if we just talk about it.
Mylène: Please, you need to calm down.
Marc: Calm down…calm down?! You’re saying that I need to calm down?! I’M COMPLETELY CALM!!!! (his hands start to anxiously dig at his hair) I’ve never felt more calm in my life! If anyone needs to calm down it's all of you people!
(Almost everyone took a step back after Marc’s outburst. They were hesitant as to what they should do next. They knew that in his caffeine-fueled state of mind, Marc wouldn’t listen to reason so easily. While they could have ganged up on him and pinned him down with their numbers advantage, many of them were hesitant to do so knowing from experience how viciously Marc fights back with the adrenaline boost in his system. Meanwhile, Marc was desperately trying to think of a plan to escape. The writer knew that if he made any attempt to run now, the others would give chase and most certainly catch up to him. He made that mistake the last time and was easily overpowered by the numbers advantage that his friends had over him despite his best efforts to fight back. Additionally, Marc also knew that attempting another akuma “fake-out” was out as well. Even if he might have been able to fool about half of his friends with the distraction, he knew that the other half wouldn’t be so easily fooled, especially Nathaniel who has already fallen for that trick once today. As Marc’s eyes searched frantically around the courtyard for an escape route and his mind raced to try to think of his next move, he failed to notice that Kim was sneaking up behind him. Before he even had a chance to realize it, Kim tackled Marc to the ground and snatched his cup out of his hand. Kim then quickly stood up off of Marc while he was still disoriented from being tackled to the ground. He didn’t want to risk a repeat of what happened last time with Jean.)
Kim: (throws the cup) Rose, catch!
(The sweet blonde in pink caught the cup in her arms. Her eyes blinked nervously from the uncertainty of what she should do next.)
Kim: (shouts to Rose) Rose, quickly! The bathroom!
(Kim motioned his hand in the direction of the nearest girls’ bathroom. Realization then struck Rose as she understood why Kim had thrown the cup at her. Rose was the closest towards the direction of the bathrooms and there was enough distance between her and Marc that she would be able to get a good head start. Additionally, if she sprinted to the girls' bathroom and reached it before Marc could catch up to her, she knew that Marc would never follow her inside the girls’ bathroom no matter how desperately he wanted his coffee back. However before Rose could take off, her attention immediately fell on Marc when she heard the sounds of the writer getting up on his feet. A look of panic grew on the boy’s face as his eyes fell on his coffee cup now in the hands of someone else. Rose felt a pang of guilt as she saw the panicked look on her friend’s face. She felt conflicted; she knew that the caffeinated beverage in her hands was causing him to suffer but she also knew how emotionally distressed the writer would become when she dumped his coffee. Unfortunately, her hesitation opened an opportunity for Marc to try to play on her sympathies.)
Marc: (puts on his best “innocent” smile and speaks frantically) H-Hey…Rose…l-let’s not do anything c-crazy here. C’mon, y-you don’t really want to do this…
(The hesitation on Rose’s face was projecting. The pain that shone through the emerald green eyes of the writer made the sweet blonde feel even more conflicted. Even though she knew that the right thing to do was to get rid of the coffee for Marc’s sake, she couldn’t stand to see her friend suffering emotionally.)
Marc: (gives Rose a pleading look) L-Look, Rose, please! I’m sorry about lying to you and everyone else earlier! I swear Rose, I’ll stop drinking coffee after today, and starting tomorrow I swear I’ll never even think about drinking coffee ever again! Please, just let me have that last cup of coffee. C’mon…what’s the harm in just one more cup anyway? I swear, I can handle it…please Rose….
Marinette: Don’t listen to him, Rose! We all know he’s just trying to bargain by making promises that he’ll never keep!
Ivan: Marc’s lying, Rose! He’s trying to deceive you!
Max: A 100% percent certainty!
Marc: (pleadingly looks at Rose) Rose…c’mon, it’s me! You know you can trust me…
Mylène: You’ve seen this with us before, Rose! Marc can’t be trusted in this state of mind!
Aurore: He’ll say anything to get what he wants!
Noelle: (exclaims in shock) Okay, seriously! How many times has this happened before?!
Jean: Not that many. Only a couple of times. (winces at the memories) But even that much is one too many.
(Rose was feeling so conflicted that it was becoming overwhelming. Marc was practically on his knees pleading his heart out for the sweet blonde to return his coffee while everyone else was urging for her to run away with the coffee and to ignore the desperate pleas of their writer friend. It was becoming too much to bear! She could feel the pressure crushing her! Rose had to make a decision! Straightening her posture and composure, Rose took a deep breath in and breathed out. The courtyard became eerily quiet as the crowd anxiously awaited the sweet blonde’s decision.)
Rose: (immediately sprints towards the girls’ bathroom) I’M SORRY, MARC!
Marc: (eyes filled with panic) What-...NO! ROSE! YOU CAN’T DO THIS!! (Starts running after the sweet blonde)
Nino: (yells out) Somebody, grab him!
Kim: I’m on it!
(As Kim tries to grab a hold of Marc, the writer then turns to the muscular teen and hisses at him, shocking not only Kim but almost everyone else present in the courtyard. The writer used this opportunity of momentary confusion to escape the courtyard and run after Rose. Kim and many of the others stood flabbergasted in silence at what had just happened.)
Kim: (in shock) D-Did…Did Marc just hiss at me? You guys heard it too, right? It wasn’t just me?
Nathaniel: (nods in confirmation) Yeah, he’s been doing that to me too. I honestly don’t know why he keeps hissing at people.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collège Françoise Dupont: Outside the Girls’ Bathroom
(At last after what felt like running a marathon, Rose had reached the safety of the girls’ bathroom. The forbidden zone for boys that even Marc wouldn’t dare to cross. She immediately opened the door and threw it closed just as Marc finally caught up to her. Marc sank to his knees in horror as the door slammed shut. His precious coffee was beyond his reach from this point and he couldn’t do anything to save it. He pounded on the door furiously as he pleaded with Rose to desperately appeal to her sympathy.)
Marc: (bangs on the door, his voice laced with panic and desperation) ROSE! ROSE, PLEASE! DON’T DO THIS! ROSE PLEASE! I NEED IT, ROSE! PLEASE!
(Marc began to hear the sounds of liquid being poured out as if Rose was pouring his coffee out in either the sink or the toilet. He was running out of time! Marc pounded on the door louder and his pleas became more desperate.)
Marc: (tears begin to fill his eyes and his voice starts to break) ROSE, PLEASE! I’LL DO ANYTHING, I SWEAR! I’LL DO YOUR ENGLISH HOMEWORK! I’LL GIVE YOU MY GLITTER EYESHADOW! YOU CAN HAVE ANY ONE OF MY PLUSHIES! YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO FROM ME! JUST PLEASE STOP!!!!! ROSE! I’M BEGGING YOU!!!!!
(As much as Marc’s pleas pained Rose to hear, they fell on deaf ears. The deed was done. And the sound of the toilet flushing immediately made Marc’s blood run cold. The writer fell into despair as he cried in agony as if the world around him was burning down around him.)
Marc: (wails in agony) NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! MY COOOOFFFFFFFEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(Marc’s body slowly slid down the bathroom door as he broke down into tears. He curled himself into a sobbing, trembling ball. The trauma of losing his precious coffee replayed over and over in his mind. As the writer lay against the cold floor sobbing, he saw the familiar shoes of his partner standing in his sights. The distraught writer looked up to see the face of the redheaded artist, whose turquoise eyes were looking down at the writer. Nathaniel then began to sit down with his legs crisscrossed, his arms opened, and awaiting for Marc. Without any hesitation, Marc immediately embraced his partner, his sobs becoming increased and muffled as he burrowed his face into the artist’s shirt. Nathaniel then began to rub comforting circles on the writer’s back and speak comforting words.)
Nathaniel: (shushing as he rubs Marc’s back) Shh. Shh. Shh. Shhhh. I know Marc. It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. We’re going to get you all the help you’ll need and we’ll get through this together. Everything’s going to be okay now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there you have it. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE MARC COFFEE!!!!
Also to clarify a few things:
This headcanon takes place when Monarch is active, so unfortunately Alix isn't around to help out with the "Marc Coffee" situation, which sucks for everyone else since she was MVP the last time they had to take the coffee away from Marc.
Noelle and Devin are my OCs for those of you who don't already know and they are part of my miraculous fanfiction universe. Noelle and Marc went to the same school together before they transferred at different points during the school year, and if you want to learn more about Noelle, I'll have the link to my fanfiction that provides insight into her backstory at the end of the post. Devin is more of a "standoffish" personality and while he's been attending Collège Françoise Dupont since the first year of junior high, he prefers to distance himself from literally everyone as much as possible and thus wouldn't know why Marc can't have coffee. He also has a habit of calling his fellow students by their last names, but I plan on that being a habit that he tries to break after the events of Icelator, which is why he corrected himself when he almost called Marc "Anciel". Another fun fact about this guy, he never called Jean Duparc by his last name and always refers to him by his first name for some "unknown reason". 😏
Well, that's just about all I have to say. If anyone wants me to clarify anything else or has any other questions, just write them in the comments or ask on my Tumblr page. With that being said, I'm out. 🚪

Not sure if your open for prompts. But I was wondering if you can do another Bustier Salt, Lila Salt, Chloe Redemption, Alya Salt prompt. But no Adrienette please. Just Chlonette.
What if Marinette had ask Chloe to help her to get rid of Lila and Bustier for their misdeeds as a discount for Chloe to request a custom design from her since Chloe wanted to be a better person? | As Alya plotted something on Marinette to confess her feelings to Adrien but she doesn't know that Marinette is bisexual. Since Marinette is dating Chloe since they started highschool both played a big part role as pretending. Chloe pretend to be a bully while Marinette pretend to be a sweet girl and doormat.
Secret Girlfriend
It has been a long time since I written fanfiction…so I claim this as draft material
What drew Marinette to Chloe initially was her mother. Marinette adored fashion.
However, Chloe was not in the mood to hear about her mother, who had abandoned her again. She lashed out at Marinette.
Later, Sabrina told Marinette not to hold it against Chloe but her mother was a sore subject.
Feeling guilty, Marinette made a peace offering by giving Chloe her dad’s famous macarons.
Chloe refuses to accept the sweets and forgive Marinette, even vowing revenge to bully her.
However Marinette was stubborn. She tried various ways to befriend Chloe.
And while it might not seem like it in public, Chloe was gradually softened and amused by Marinette.
Eventually Marinette was kidnapped to have tea with Chloe, who explains she doesn’t need to keep bribing her to be friends.
Marinette is thrilled they are finally friends, except Chloe points out it can’t be in public. Chloe has a rep to maintain, and can’t be seen going soft.
From then on, while the class sees Chloe bullying Marinette, they don’t realise the hidden actions.
Chloe forcing Marinette to switch seats? She left her a present under the desk.
Chloe insulting Marinette’s designs. Ok, this was criticism in an attempt to be helpful
Ruining Bustier’s gift. Ok, Chloe dislikes how Bustier forced Marinette to shoulder so much responsibility. She doesn’t deserve a gift.
Point is, for every mean action Chloe does, Marinette knows there’s a hidden message behind it from her friend.
When Adrien showed up, Marinette was jealous by how much attention Chloe was giving him.
Chloe later talked to Marinette and assured her that she didn’t have a crush on Adrien, but rather an Asian fashion designer. As Marinette started blushing and stammering if she was dreaming, Chloe kissed her cheek.
Marinette finally befriended Adrien.
Later Alya assumed Marinette’s gushing about blond hair and knowledge about fashion was about a certain model rather than a certain class bully.
Flustered, Marinette went along with the lie, and proceeded to fail those false confessions to Adrien, cringing all the while at the ridiculous plans she came up with to sell the lie.
Speaking of lies, Marinette may do it out of necessity, but Lila does it out of spite and she’s putting her foot down.
Since Adrien won’t help her, and apparently she had overdone her fake crush on Adrien to the point that everyone would think her accusations are founded on jealousy, Marinette turns to Chloe for help.
Chloe: and why should I care what the sheep think? Let this be a lesson not to fall for such glamorous stories. And seriously, that blogger girl thought I was Ladybug? Has she never heard of fact checking?
Marinette: how about that Lila threatened to turn everyone against me?
Chloe paused, then gave a sigh. “Fine! Now tell me how you know she’s a liar.”
Marinette explained that she saw Ladybug expose Lila.
Chloe: hmm, well as a hero myself, we don’t want a repeat of a hero humiliating Lila. It’s bad publicity. And if she becomes an akuma, she might target us. No, we need her to be exposed in a way that doesn’t implicate our involvement. Which means we can’t ask Jagged or Ladybug for help. Not to mention I’m pretty sure Ms Bustier will guilt trip you for exposing Lila so publicly.
Marinette: she’s not-
Chloe: oh shush. If you want my help, let me rant. Just because people are nice doesn’t mean they’re right.
Slowly, a smirk began to form on Chloe’s face. “I’ve got it. A rock that will take out 2 birdbrains.”
The day after tomorrow, it was announced that Ms Bustier had been forced to resign after it had been revealed that she had no degree in teaching. She had breezed her way into the job based on white lies that she had teached before (at summer camps and while babysitting)
This fact had been exposed after Chloe had secretly baited her father to check on the teaching faculty after complaining about how her school had a rep for attracting akumas.
Thanks to Caline’s dismissal, the school board was now investigating all her work, in case she had missed proper procedure.
It was when they discovered there was an email from Mrs Rossi explaining about her daughter’s leave of absence, that the email address did not match the one on Lila’s file, nor was her medical file updated for all those diseases she kept claiming to have.
Back then, Caline hadn’t seen the necessity of doing those things as it seemed so minor.
She was proven wrong when Mrs Rossi herself confirmed Lila was lying.
To prevent akumatization, it was best to expose the matter as delicately as possible.
Lila would be facing detention and forced to confess to the whole student body about her lies and apologize. Her reputation as a liar may be known but her mother was not feeling sorry after being tricked herself.
After Lila’s forced apology, the principle advised everyone to remain calm.
Most were hardly affected by Lila.
But the akuma class were not happy to have been fooled or that their favorite teacher was gone now.
Chloe looked over their frowns and said loudly, “With that attitude, you’re sure to be akumatized. And over that liar? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.”
Marinette stood up and started the whole class on breathing exercises.
Since Lila’s presence was not welcome in her old class, she will be transferred. Honestly, why Ms Bustier had 3 new students was a mystery when there were other classes too.
Adrien looked at Marinette and beamed. “See Marinette, i told you Lila would get exposed eventually.”
Nino: you knew!
Chloe quickly defended Adrien by pointing out if they would believe him when they didn’t believe Marinette.
Marinette also took this chance to gently tell Alya that after seeing Adrien’s nonchalant attitude, her crush on him kind of wilted.

To be honest, I feel like Marinette's jealousy of Lila came from how
she seems to be getting along so well with Alya, to the point of
basically being another BFF would've been infinitely better than her
judgement that once again revolves around (ugh) Adrien 🙄
Like, instead of having Lila sit next to Adrien, have her sit next to
Alya. Instead of having Lila model with Adrien and spy for his father,
have her help Alya with the LadyBlog by co-running it. Instead of
planning Adrienette schemes, have Alya accidentally forget hang
outs with Marinette in favor of Lila.
This would have been much more relatable and less cringe worthy
than Marinette hating some girl she's only known for two minutes. It
would have made Marinette seem like a real teenage girl who is
protective of her friendship with her best friend. Heck, it could work
the other way too with Alya being jealous of Lilanette friendship.
They're both represented as foxes so they would've made an
outstanding rivalry.
But I guess what I'm trying to ask is why does everything that
Marinette does have to revolve around Adrien? Like the dude has so
many plot points that adding a new girl to cat fight over them seems
counterproductive.
Why are there girls fighting over Blandrien anyway? He's not even
that great! In fact, he's kind of dumb! I can't speak for everyone, but I
would've enjoyed watching Lila and Marinette cat fight over Alya's
friendship or Lila and Alya beefing about who's the better fox much
much more than whatever tripe canon is trying to feed us.
Instead of having four girls fighting over an arguable not-that-
amazing guy, have them fight for, I don't know, their passions and/or
their friendships?
I might actually write a story centered around this just because.
Ugh just just ugggh 😒
#in reluctant defense of lila rossi#alya cesaire#marinette dupain cheng#lila rossi#like a cat fight between two girls over one friend is a lot easier to digest than whatever the hell canon is doing#adrien salt#not sure if that counts but I better tag it#ml salt#ml writing salt#girls deserve better

i fucking hate them
Why Marichat/Ladynoir/Adrienette/Love Square/Etc is shit - a submission-based essay, part 2/2
Whatever the fuck it's called - a canon (endgame?) het ship from the Miraculous Ladybug fandom between Marinette (Ladybug) Dupain-Chang and Adrien (Chat Noir) Agreste
The narrative puts a lot of comparisons between her feelings toward Adrien and Adrien's Supervillain father's feelings toward Adrien's (presumably dead) mother, without ever really calling attention to the fact that marinette's kind of descending into unhealthy areas. Much like Adrien's entitlement to Ladybug, Marinette's obsession is never called out as anything other than to either point and laugh at or coo over how 'devoted' it is. Also all of those words i gave you up top about marinette being overworked with too much responcibility on her back were only about 5% of episodes 10% are friend drama, and the other 85% have something to do with Adrien or Chat Noir in a significant way in marinette's plot. this show couldn't pass the bechdel test ONCE. Not to mention that literally everyone except for the 'mean cruel bullies that only want Adrien for themselves' all SUPER TOTALLY SHIP THEM YOU GUYS. At one point a normal kid also wanted to date adrien but when she broke up with him she immediately turned to marinette and said 'hes perf for u tho sweetie' literally at one point in a special two new characters are introduced and spend 90% of their time on screen trying to get them together, not for some sort of 'oh we already knew marinette or adrien and we want them together bc they'll be happy' no literally these two complete strangers look at these two complete strangers and go 'Oh those two are MEANT TO BEEEE' and go out of their way to matchmake alongside their friends. Speaking of their friends a lot of Marinette's schemes to woo Adrien aren't even her own, they're mostly orchestrated by her friend group to where Marinette is a reluctant at best patron of. (except for when she makes wooing plans on her own then her friends think it's annoying and that they have better things to do point and laugh at the cringe please) at two separate points the show goes out of its way to be like 'if you two get together rn the whole world is doomed btw' one of which it's implied to have pretty seriously traumatized marinette btw, but please keep pointing and laughing at her venting to what she believes to be a wax replica of Adrien and nerely kissing him only to reveal it was Actual adrien that whole time pretending to be a wax statue for... idk to mess with marinette? she clearly thought she was alone and was spinning her private thoughts and he doesn't even apologize for what was technically an innocent prank that went way too far too quick But never mind all that never mind all that because they had enough 'cute' scenes in the first two seasons that the fans at this point are so thoroughly emotionally invested that they scream about it anyway no matter how it's going to get. #niceguy that unironically says m'lady and stalker with a stutter are MEANT TO BEEEEEEEE and if you even imply otherwise on a twitter post the literal showrunner will subtweet you calling you an idiot that doesn't understand the nuances of his perfect flawless never bad ever ever ever show.

mixed feelings about deflagration. I'm not usually one to complain about an episode, but I was underwhelmed and even a little irked...
sorry if that bums you out. in fact, you may not want to read this list past #1 (which is objectively funny).
So we all agree we have severe psychological trauma from Gabriel's.... whatever that was?
2. Zoe I tried to give you a chance even after your botched introduction as Chloe's secret sister... but honestly just leave. I hope she does go back to New York. When she was little more than a character model standing next to Chloe, I could be indifferent... I could tolerate her... But the more they focus on her, the less I like her... If I didn't love Adrien and Marinette so much, she might just be awful enough to kill my interest in the show. :(
3. I didn't exactly think Gabriel's plan made perfect sense (why akumatize anyone at all? Just follow them home or something), but liked the general direction of the plot and the raised stakes of almost losing.
4. The way the underground movement kicked in and the teamwork was nice... but they defeated Monarch way too easily. Every other time Gabe gets his hands on even one of the two, it's been game over. Respect to Tikki and Plagg, but you're telling me they couldn't resist in Ephemeral?
5. Genuinely sad when Adrien is sad. :( He missed having Plagg as a friend. Love him as the protective BF and love that he got to take the Ladybug earrings from his father. :)
6. Adrienette is still so cute, but honestly... Marinette has a problem. Wait. Listen. I'm not one to say she's never allowed to be cringey and neurotic. Cringe is part of her character and I love her for it and despite it. Heck, I consider myself cringe in various ways.. So I'm not here to blame her for being awkward or clumsy or whatever else... I can even forgive her statue scene... But this is a whole different ballgame. She's acting downright terrified of Adrien (I get there is some trauma there, but TBH Chat Blanc was way worse or at least equally as bad, and she managed that fear way better... she even let herself fall for Chat Noir, take his hand, and kiss him on the lips despite the trauma of Chat Blanc... I just don't totally understand the inconsistency). And okay, it's fine if she's nervous around him and awkward and not ready to hold hands or say ILY... but then don't keep forcing yourself to do those things. It just looks way worse when you try to force it, and can't. Like, girl... I know you want to hold his hand, but if you feel yourself freezing up... just don't force yourself. If it freaks you out so much just apologize and say you're not ready. Tell him you didn't wash your hands or something ridiculous. Just... Read your body signals. That's all.
7. Not enough Ladynoir fallout. Not enough questioning what happened there. Seriously? Hoping this is addressed more later... but not likely.
8. Alya and Nino was sweet and they handled that well 🥰
#i honestly don't mean to be salty... i do generally just take what we're given and make the best of it... but I was just... disappointed#ml spoilers#ml salt#(only tagging this because i know some people take all criticism as hate and bashing)#but i say this with love in my heart for this show that i usually don't take too many issues with

Cartel Noir
Cartel Noir
by BraveBluebird
The thought came across in a familiar growl of frustration: Do something.
His feet were moving before he had fully formed a plan. Putting a hand up to call off the gunman, he ran towards her, arms wide open.
“Sweetheart!” he flinched at Marinette's look of uncertainty.
This is going to be uncomfortable.
Less uncomfortable than a bullet wound. Chat's voice echoed again in his mind.
As he neared her, she froze. For a moment, he feared that she would back away from him. Please don't freak out.
Reaching for her, he pulled her close enough to whisper into her ear, “Marinette, whatever happens next, I need you to please.. PLEASE play along. I need you to trust me. For both of us.”
As he pulled back from her, he saw her attempt to smooth the look of confusion from her face. She understood. Thank God.
“I wasn't expecting you so soon!” he spoke a little too loudly, clearly for the audience. He cringed inwardly and tried to calm his nerves.
Act better.
Before Marinette had a chance to respond, he reached a hand up to the side of her face, holding her still as he pressed his mouth to hers.

What I love about each ship in the love square
I just really wanted to share what things attract me to each part and dynamic. If you don’t like the love square all power to you, ship whatever you want to ship, these are just my opinions.
Adrienette
Out of the four love square ships, I have to admit that this one is my least favorite. The dynamic just involves so much cringe. Especially in season 3 **ahem ahem** the statue scene. As the show progresses from season 2, Marinette’s awkwardness only appears to get worse and her stuttering and messing up of words is a little hard to hear. This all being said, this post is what I love about this ship, and what I love about Adrinette is mostly the way Adrien reacts to Marinette. He just has so much respect and patience for her and holds her in such high esteem. Both umbrella scenes are just **chef’s kiss**. I also really like the dancing scenes, the train scene, and their overall aesthetic. The fact that Marinette’s and Adrien’s clothes are inverted colors of each other’s is amazing. All in all it's a good ship for me even with all its cringe.
Ladrien
Though not my favorite ship in the square, I happen to think that this dynamic is critically underrated. Now, I am a sucker for mutual pining, especially when the two sides don’t know that it’s mutual, and that is literally Ladrien. With rare exception Ladrien scenes are really cute and sweet. They might not have the banter and complete transparency that some of the other ships have, but are a softer, more lovey-dovey side to the love square. The benefit of this ship is that Marinette can behave in a more refined and confident way, under the persona of Ladybug. She stutters less and freaks out less around Adrien when she is Ladybug which is something I, a person who can’t handle cringe, really appreciates. My favorite scenes of this ship include; their first encounter in that form in “The Mime”, when Ladybug catches Adrien in “The Gorilla”, and oddly enough their scenes in “Oblivio” (I say this is odd because they don’t have their memories and therefore the dynamic changed). It’s a really cute ship and in my opinion, doesn’t deserve all the hate it gets.
Ladynoir
I’m gonna be honest here, I really love this ship. In fact, it is just narrowly beaten by Marichat as my favorite in the square. Yes, I am aware that there are issues in this part of the square, but I’m not here to talk about them and besides, all ships have problems. It's just a matter of the good outweighing the bad, and with Ladynoir this is certainly the case. For Adrien, a child of abuse, who has had to deal with a negligent, absentee, emotionally manipulative father (but I’m going on a tangent here) to have a person he can rely on and trust is huge. He is shown to have so much respect for her and her opinions and cares so deeply for her, even going so far as to sacrifice himself for her on numerous occasions. This also shows his trust in her, he risks himself with the firm belief that she will set things right. Alternatively, she creates plans that often depend on his reliability, she trusts in him (the NY special aside, although she trusts him again by the end) and cares deeply for him as well. This pairing has so many good scenes and episodes and it’s really hard to pick my favorite. To name just a few of them I guess I would go with that scene in “Dark Owl” (you know the one), the episode sandman, that scene in “heroes day” in the sewer, the pep talk in “Heart Hunter” and I really liked Ladybug accidentally throwing Chat Noir off of the building in “Truth”/”Lies”. There is just so much content and good qualities to this part of the love square, I just have to appreciate it.
Marichat
As is the case with I’m sure a lot of miraculous fans, my favorite dynamic in the love square is Marichat. This pairing gets very little screen time especially in comparison to Adrienette and Ladynoir. However, though this pairing gets very little attention, it has so much potential and goodness in the way its participants interact. Now, I don’t subscribe to the whole “true selves” theory, I think that both identities encompass the personalities of Marinette and Adrien. However, with Marichat, they are able to see different sides to each other, able to share different facets of their personalities that they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Marinette can be composed around Chat Noir. She can show him the full depth of her personality, she can actually be vulnerable with him without the fear of him not being interested in her. By contrast, Chat Noir can show Marinette that he has a more vulnerable, sensitive side to him. Without his constant attempts to impress and his efforts to put up a front, Marinette can see beyond the surface and can find in Chat the qualities she most admires in Adrien (after all they are the same person). It also helps that this ship is friends-to-lovers, which is a favorite archetype of mine. I literally love every scene that these two have together, and “Glaciator” is one of my favorite episodes because of the Marichat scene. Although I was irked that it was so short, I really did enjoy the little crumb of Marichat content we got in “Sole Crusher��. I love this pairing so much, their irony, their banter, everything about them. That is all.

Miraculous World: New York
I wasn't expecting nothing and they actually surprised me!
After their erratic season 3 with questionable choices of writing and narrative, almost nothing of character development and no sense of progression, the series started to feeling stuck. They gave a little hope with their season finale and all big the changes they did to main characters, but the expectations of them repeating the same formula where there.
Well, with this first especial TV movie they did repite the formula but they gave them some new twist that made this episode feel refreshed and exciting.
What I like:
Finally some good no so cringe Adrienette interactions. They were more deep and meaning. Adrien and Marinette relaxing and enjoying each other company. A bit of comedy that was cute and fun no exaggerate, Marinette wants to move on but she can’t and she is in denial of that and her feelings, causing conflict in herself. A powerful scene of sadly goodbye that hold more meaning taking in count what happen before. Marinette reacts and is to late but she now is clear with herself. She still loves him and her fears made her not been the friend he needed in that moment.
The Ladynoir have a realistic demonstration of a serious conflict and how honesty is really important for a relationship. Chat Noir was true to his decision. He will cherish and give the friendship and partnership that Ladybug wants and needs from him. And seems to be willing to prove himself as a hero. But he fails by making the mistake of hide the true from Ladybug. And his actions have consequences. Ladybug is rightfully angry. And he is overwhelmed and run away. But when Ladybug needs him he cameback and ask for forgiveness accepting that he didn't act well (about not telling the truth from the beginning and for run away). Hope he has learned his election (and no more listen to Plagg).
The new heroes were good and interesting. Aeon is adorable, I really feel bad when she was first destroyed. And the acting from the voices of Majestia and Darkowl was on point. Jess was my favorite, her personality was fun and I really like her as Sparrow more better than she was Egled. There’s really no more else to said.
Hawk moth been more clever and active and his plans. He not only send another akuma. He researched the new miraculous with the book he obtained in S3. Track its location, prepared his victim, control all the US heroes, use Mayura again! glad to see that she can still use her powers, hope she still has a relevant role in S4. Even when it failed, he's going to probe more things, more miraculous now that he has the knowledge of them. I just hope he stop to give the new miraculous to akumas. I want to see more miraculous holders been villians like Mayura. He’s still a shit of a father :)))
the new guardian and the new box. I thought that guardians would be unwilling to shere the miraculous. We still don't know for sure, but it was good to see them and connected with S3/festin.
I love my Bby Boy Luka. How he is with Marinette, been there and worry about her mental stage and that she can find clarity. He did see her breaking down before for how much she have to deal with and knows that one of those things is her feelings and relationship with Adrien. So he offers his help and gives his advice. The same thing Alya have to scream to Marinette because she wasn't understanding.
Kagami was there 5 seconds. And the kiss was cute. I think they are dating and NO I don’t think Adrien is cheating. He really see all his interaction with Marinette as platonic (even that dance on the moon but that the logic of the show, not good but that’s how it is).
THE ANIMATION WAS A++++++ Please SAMG stay, please!
What I didn’t like
Kagami very cold and almost OCC actitud with Adrien. I mean did we forged Frozer, Ikari Gozen, Love eater? all the progress she made and she looks like Riposte Kagami. So bad.
The pace was a little fast. Especially at the second half of the special. Most of the things seems to resolve too quick.
The kwamis are like less than second characters.
As always Ladybug have the perfect plan. I mean, Jess and Aeon were the heroes of NY for a long time, they have to know the city better.
Why they always make adults the wrong one for no give more responsibilities to literal childs? Jess thought that LB and CN are lucky for no have adults that give them ordens. But no! those kid need an adult, a responsible one. please!
Was really a good episode. Hope see more of this in season 4

Marichat: Serendipity: Fifty Marichat and Adrienette Kisses: Kiss Twenty-One
Read it on AO3: Serendipity: Fifty Marichat and Adrienette Kisses: ...on a place of insecurity.
Marinette had been pacing for going on an hour when a timid knock finally came at her skylight.
She rushed up to meet Chat Noir, pulling him into a crushing hug accompanied by a bruising kiss.
“What’s wrong?” he managed to get out as they broke to catch their breath. “Your text just said to come as soon as I could. What happened? Is everything okay?”
She shook her head. “I’ve been so worried about you. I had to make sure you were okay,” she explained, stroking his cheek and hurriedly searching his face. “Have you watched the footage of the akuma attack yet?”
He wilted, ears and tail going limp as he averted his eyes. “Oh. No. I…I’m kind of afraid to,” he mumbled. “Was it bad? Plagg said it was bad. …Did I hurt anyone?”
Hesitantly, he looked back at her, eyes pleading and searching.
She winced. “Everyone’s okay now. Ladybug’s powers put everything back to how it was before the akuma took control of you. Everything is fine.”
His face lost all colour. “Did I hurt a lot of people?” he amended in a pinched tone, afraid to know the truth.
“You didn’t hurt anyone,” she stressed, cupping his cheeks in her hands, forcing him to look into her eyes and see the vehemence and conviction in them. “You would never hurt anyone, Chat Noir. You save people, and you’re damn good at your job. You are amazing, and nothing you did today was your fault. You weren’t the one in control.”
“I think I need to sit now,” he informed weakly before sinking to his knees on her bed.
“Oh, Minou.” She dropped down beside him, pulling him into another tight embrace. “That wasn’t you. You didn’t hurt anyone, and everyone is fine.”
He just sat there for a few minutes, letting her comfort and reassure him, soaking up her warmth.
“…Will you watch it with me?” he finally asked.
She bit her lip and hesitated. “…Chat Noir, I don’t know that you should watch the footage. It was…kind of brutal.”
“I need to know what the akuma made me do,” he replied simply. “Will you watch with me? Please?”
She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay. Of course. If you really want to do this, I am one hundred percent there for you.”
“Thank you,” he breathed, a watery smile of gratitude parting his lips.
They got comfortable on her bed, Chat curled around her, resting his head on her shoulder as she pulled up coverage of the akuma fight on her phone.
He held his breath as the video started to play.
He saw himself get hit, Ladybug shouting to him, a look of horror on her face.
The akuma, Anima-tor, and his growing army of people who now thought that they were various animals stormed their way through the streets to the zoo in the Jardin des Plantes to liberate the animals, Chat Noir in tow.
He cringed as he watched the people Anima-tor was controlling attack anyone who stood in their way. He began to tremble when the footage showed him lunging at people, swiping with his claws, baring his teeth.
It got to be too much when Ladybug got in the way of Anima-tor’s plan, and he sicced his minions on her.
Chat Noir led the pack, unleashing his Cataclysm.
Chat gasped, covering his mouth with a hand as he watched himself.
Marinette paused the video. “You didn’t hurt her. Ladybug is fine. She actually used your Cataclysm to break Anima-tor’s object, so it was okay. We don’t have to watch the rest; it’s clearly upsetting you.”
“No. I need to see how it ends,” he insisted gently.
Marinette took a deep breath and unpaused, tightening her supportive hold on her boyfriend.
Chat Noir gave a little jolt each time his image on screen attempted to hit Ladybug with his destructive power, but, as Marinette had said, it was quickly over, and everything was put back to rights.
As the video ended, Chat slumped against Marinette and covered his face with his hands.
“Minou,” Marinette coaxed. “Look at me.”
He shook his head speechlessly.
She took his hands and pried them away from his face, taking his right hand and drawing it up to nuzzle and press soft kisses to his fingers, knuckles, and ring.
“My Love, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You would never use your powers to hurt anyone. You would never act like that of your own free will, so there’s no need to worry about you becoming a monster by choice. You weren’t in control,” she asserted, taking the fears straight out of his head and smashing them. “That wasn’t you. Everything is fine now. End of story.”
He peered up at her hopefully. “You’re sure that everyone’s okay?”
Marinette nodded. “Everyone is accounted for. Everyone’s healed.”
“And no one is mad at me?” he inquired, venturing to be optimistic.
“If anyone is, I will personally fight them,” she snorted. “That wasn’t your fault. You’re not responsible; therefore, no one should be mad at you because you’re not to blame.”
He gave her a weak but definite smile. “Thanks for always being so willing to go to bat for me.”
She shrugged, a proud smile stretching across her own lips. “You’re my boyfriend. I’d fight Papillon for you and win.”
“I believe it,” he chuckled, a bit of his spirit slowly rallying and making a comeback.
He bit his bottom lip thoughtfully, hesitating before asking, “…And…You’re not afraid of me?”
Her eyes flew wide in surprise. “Afraid of you? Why would I ever be afraid?”
He looked down at his right hand sadly. “I could have killed…Ladybug. You. Anyone.”
She shook her head, picking up his hand and bringing the palm up to her lips.
“Never,” she answered with conviction. “You would never consciously hurt me, Chat Noir. When you’re not in control, you’re not really you, so while it’s important to be careful around you when you get mind-controlled, I never have to be afraid of you.”
She leaned in to take his lips in a languid, reassuring kiss, confirming, “Never.”
He let himself melt into her, let himself believe that what she said was true.

“Did Alya say why she wanted a girls’ meeting before the Kitty Section rehearsal?” Juleka asked, tapping her foot on the arm of the couch as she picked at the edges of her purple nail polish. Rose was sprawled on the floor, turning her history essay into a glittery work of art.
“Don’t know,” Rose said absently, then she looked up with a bright smile. “Maybe it’s another Adrienette plan.”
“Does Marinette even like Adrien anymore?” Juleka mumbled at her fingernails, and Rose frowned at her.
“Of course she does! She’s been in love with him forever-“
“A year,” Juleka said under her breath.
“-and they’d be so cute together!”
Juleka thought of her stupid brother, and didn’t say anything.
The noise of Alya’s arrival was hard to miss, and Juleka swung herself upright. The crash as Alya flung open the door made her flinch. Behind the reporter, Alix rolled her eyes and dropped her bag beside the door.
“Hey Juleka,” she said drily, and wandered off to get herself a drink.
“We haven’t got much time,” Alya announced, not waiting for greetings. “Adrien will be here soon, and we need to have our plan in place-“
“Is Marinette coming? Shouldn’t we wait for her?” Rose interrupted.
“She doesn’t know about this,” Alya said. “It’s for her own good. She gets too nervous every time we plan something, so we’re going to set it up to make it easy for her to talk to Adrien this time. Adrien thinks this is just another Kitty Section practice and I got him to promise he’d come, and then we can get them alone together, and this time for sure Marinette will confess.”
Alix rolled her eyes. “Yeah, ‘cause that never goes wrong.”
“We’ve got to do something!” Alya insisted, planting her hands on her hips. “I want Marinette to be happy. I’m going to get my girl her dream guy if it’s the last thing I do.”
“Even if she’s changed her mind?” Juleka nerved herself to ask.
Alya waved that away.
“She’s just getting distracted because she thinks that Adrien is hooking up with Kagami now, but if we can just get Marinette alone with Adrien so she can confess, then he’ll fall in love with Marinette and they can double date with me and Nino and be happy ever after, and she doesn’t have to settle.”
Behind her fringe, Juleka frowned. Settle? That was her brother that Alya was dismissing as a poor second.
Rose tucked her hands under her chin, leaning over the back of her chair to follow Alya’s pacing.
“So what’s the plan?” she asked.
“We keep it really simple,” Alya said decisively. “That way there’s less chance for things to go wrong.”
Alix snorted, and behind her fringe Juleka’s expression echoed the sound. Alya ignored them.
“I’ll keep Mari down here so she doesn’t go wandering off, and then when Adrien gets here you bring him down to the loungeroom.” Alya stabbed a finger at Rose, and Juleka frowned at that. “But don’t give it away that there’s anything going on by getting too excited and blabbing. Then all we have to do is say we need to set up something on the deck, and leave them alone for the magic to happen.”
Alix snorted again. “It’s your funeral. But it’s been a boring week, so I’ll play along.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Alya asked, her hands on her hips.
Alix just shook her head and wandered out the door. The rest of the girls followed her up onto the deck to wait, and Rose bounced over to the boat-rail to keep a lookout.
“Marinette’s here,” Rose squeaked, and Alya hurried over join her. “With Adrien!”
“Yes! It’s wor-“ Alya broke off and scowled as Kagami got out of the car. “What’s she doing here?”
“At a guess, she wants to listen to Kitty Section,” Alix said deadpan. “What have you got against Kagami, anyway?”
“She has no taste in journalism,” Alya said darkly, and Juleka rolled her eyes. So Kagami had said something disparaging about the Ladyblog. That explained a few things. “And she’s snowed Marinette into thinking that they’re friends so that Marinette’ll back out of fighting for Adrien. Marinette’s just too nice for her own good, so I have to do it for her.”
Marinette hopped off the gangplank onto the deck of the Liberty, and then Adrien held out a hand to help Kagami across the narrow boards. Juleka swung back to rest of the group, and Alya’s narrowed eyes were fixed on the point where Adrien still held Kagami’s hand, even though they were safely on the deck now. Juleka was almost surprised that Alya hadn’t left scorch marks.
Rose was looking anxiously from Marinette to Alya.
“What do we do now? Adrien seems really into Kagami,” the blonde whispered.
“Leave it to me,” Alya said in a voice of iron determination. “And get me a drink – juice or something. Something that’ll make a bit of a stain.”
“What are you planning to do?” Rose asked.
“Nothing serious. I’m just going to make it so that Kagami has to spend a bit of time getting cleaned up.”
“I… don’t think Marinette would want you to do that. Isn’t that a bit mean?” Rose said hesitantly, but Alya just waved her off with a flip of her hand.
“Mari doesn’t need to know. It’s all in a good cause, and it’s just a bit of juice. Just get me a cup. I’ll do it myself.”
Juleka sighed deeply and stayed silent. This was going to go badly.
Alix, on the other hand, shrugged and wandered off. She came back with a mug in her hand.
“It’s your funeral,” she said again as she handed it to Alya.
“What are you doing?” Rose hissed, and then Kagami joined them, with Adrien and Marinette on either side.
Alya said brightly, “It’s so good you could all make it,” and her hand started to move.
That was when Juleka lurched into her.
And the juice went everywhere. Marinette gave a startled gasp as it soaked into her blouse and dripped down to puddle on the deck. That… hadn’t quite been part of Juleka’s calculations.
“Oh, no! The boat rolled,” Juleka muttered, righting herself.
The thing about fading into the background and being overlooked was that it turned out you could get away with a lot. No one even suggested that they didn’t feel a thing, or that Juleka was strangely unsteady for someone who had grown up on a boat. Juleka wasn’t sure if she should be pleased or annoyed that Alya obviously didn’t even consider that Juleka might have done it deliberately.
It made more of a mess than she’d anticipated, though. Juleka shrank a little as the juice dripped down Marinette’s top. Everyone fussed, and a perfectly dry Kagami whipped out a pristine white handkerchief, dabbing at Marinette’s stain as it spread further.
“Oh, god, I’m so sorry,” Juleka cringed, but Marinette gave her a tiny smile.
“It’s okay, it’s just juice.” She held her top away from her soaked chest. “But I’d probably better head home.”
“You can borrow a clean shirt,” Juleka offered.
While Juleka burrowed through the piles of mostly clean clothes, Marinette stripped off her soaked blouse and towelled dry.
Juleka hesitated, her hand on a faded Jagged Stone shirt that had seen better days. But it was clean, even if it was going to be huge on Marinette, and she tossed it to the other girl before she could overthink things. Marinette caught it and started to tug it over her head.
“I’m really sorry,” Juleka repeated.
“Accidents happen.” Marinette’s voice was muffled by the shirt, then she yanked it down and she was swamped by the Jagged Stone artwork on the front. “I’m just glad this one happened to me and not to Kagami. She and Adrien aren’t supposed to be here in the first place, and if she went home covered in juice or wearing someone else’s clothes it’d be weeks before her mother would let her out again.”
Juleka flinched guiltily.
“Chloe had this plan once to get Kagami to sit on some cake so that she couldn’t spend time with Adrien,” Marinette was saying, her attention on the hem of the t-shirt as she fiddled with it. “And I almost did it.”
“But you didn’t, did you?” Juleka said. She was starting to wonder if Marinette had figured out what had been behind that accidental spill.
“But I almost did. I went along with Chloe because I was so caught up in another plot to get Adrien’s attention.” Marinette lifted her head, and her blue eyes met Juleka’s with an odd resolution. “I don’t like a lot of the things I’ve done because I was crushing on Adrien. I don’t like me when I’m chasing Adrien.”
Juleka hesitated, opening her mouth to speak just as they heard someone clattering down the ladder into the galley. Luka swung around the edge of the door.
“Jules, have you seen-“ Juleka knew the moment that he spotted Marinette in his favourite Jagged Stone t-shirt that was just a bit too long for the shorts she was wearing, because that was when he broke off what he’d been saying with a noise that sounded like he’d swallowed his own tongue.
While her lame brother and Marinette were trying to recover their powers of speech, or stop blushing, Juleka mumbled something and bundled up Marinette’s wet blouse, hustling it out the door before they could stop her. If she had anything to say about it, it would be a while before Marinette’s top was dry enough to be worn home.
She leaned her back against the closed door, listening to the soft murmur of voices start up in the room behind her, and she allowed herself a small smile behind the fall of her hair.
Things were going well.

A Random Headcanon: Why Marc Anciel Should Never Have Coffee Part I☕🚫
So I have a few headcanons that I am going to be included in my fanfiction series about Marc Anciel:
He has two moms. Emerson Anciel who runs a coffee shop and Kiki Anciel who is an aromatherapist.
Despite his mother running a coffee shop, Marc isn't allowed to drink coffee since caffeine worsens his anxiety.
During the few times Marc sneaked some coffee, he tends to become a bit...eccentric.
Anyway, I had this idea in my head for a few days now and I just couldn't resist writing this out and sharing it on Tumblr. Basically, this takes place during the "Adrienette" romantic plans time and it's stressing him out big time. As for what happens next, well, just read and see:
Collège Françoise Dupont: Art Room 33
(Nathaniel walks into the room to see his frazzled and twitchy partner. Is he mumbling to himself? )
Nathaniel: (hesitantly) Uh… H-Hi, Marc. (approaches the writer cautiously and nervously) W-Whatcha doing?
(Marc immediately snaps his head towards Nathaniel. His mouth spread wide forming a massive, unhinged smile. Deep, dark circles caked around his eyes with his right eye twitching rapidly. His black hair resembled that of a bird’s nest. And his hands trembling terribly. His partner’s appearance immediately took Nathaniel aback.)
Marc: (speaks frantically) Nath! I’ve got it! I finally figured it out!
Nathaniel: (nervously) Uh…figured what out exactly?
Marc: (grabs Nathaniel’s shoulders) The answer to Marinette and Adrien’s kissing problem! The solution was right in front of our faces this time, and we just couldn’t see it! It’s so simple! There’s no way they could mess this up for the 72nd time in a row! (starts shaking Nathaniel) OUR SHIP IS SAILING AT LAST!!!!! THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!!
(Nathaniel pulls himself away from Marc’s grasp, recovering from the feeling of dizziness from being shaken by the frantic writer. Perhaps these Adrienette first kiss plans were starting to take their toll on Marc? Nathaniel couldn’t argue that he too was starting to feel burnt out on drawing new plans to help Adrien and Marinette finally have their first kiss. Still, he could also understand why these plans would leave Marc feeling the most drained since he is the one who wrote over seventy different perfect romantic scenarios that ultimately fail over and over again. Guess it was only a matter of time before he snapped.)
Marc: (picks up his open journal and starts frantically shoving it into Nathaniel’s hands) It’s all written down right here! The ultimate solution! The one I should have just thought up a long time before I wrote those other miserably failed plans!
(Nathaniel took note of the bitterness and venom that was lacing the writer’s tone of voice. Additionally, he also noticed that his partner’s hands were increasingly shaking violently as he kept trying to shove the journal into his hands. Now Nathaniel was getting even more worried for Marc’s well-being.)
Nathaniel: (uses caution as he speaks) Marc, are you feeling okay? Y-You seem a bit…
(Unhinged? Crazed? Frazzled? Unstable? Disturbed? Fixated?)
Nathaniel: Tense?
Marc: (starts talking fast) Tense? Who’s tense? (unhinged chuckling) Certainly not me! You worry too much, Nath! I’m fine! Yep, totally fine! In fact, everything is going to be great now because now we have a full-proof plan to get Adrien and Marinette to finally have their magical kiss so that they just kiss already, live happily ever after, and we can all finally get on with our LIVES!!!!!
(Okay, now Nathaniel was fully convinced that Marc had finally snapped. When this latest plan fails, he definitely needs to have a long talk with his class about leaving him and Marc out of these Adrienette plans for a while. He would have gladly done so now if not for his unhinged partner forcefully insisting that he read the latest scheme that he has come up with this time.)
Marc: (finally manages to get Nathaniel to take hold of his journal) C’mon, Nath! C’mon! Read it! Read it! I’m telling you, this idea is foolproof! There's no way they could mess it up this time!
(Marc stared at Nathaniel with his twitching eyes and wide smile. Nathaniel, despite being disturbed by the writer’s insistence, took the journal and started to read through the page)
Nathaniel: (reading the page) “JUST KISS ALREADY, FOR FUC-”...Marc!
(Nathaniel gaped as he skimmed through the rest of Marc’s “plan”, which was actually just a double-sided five-page long rant about how frustrating Marinette and Adrien were. He was taken aback by how many times the writer used swear words in his rant. Though the artist knew Marc rarely cussed, he knew that whenever the few rare moments when the writer did use swear words meant that his hidden rage would be unleashed.)
Marc: Soooo, what do you think?
Nathaniel: (cringes) I think you should see your therapist ASAP. I…uh don’t think that this plan is going to work out the way you want it. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start drawing this out.
Marc: Well, if you don’t like that idea, I also came up with another one right here. (Flips through the pages and then stops at a page) Take a look!
(Nathaniel was hesitant about reading Marc’s other plan. If the first one was this bad, he could imagine how terrifying the alternative would have been. Despite this, Nathaniel decided to read what his partner had written. He then lets out a shocked gasp as he reads.)
Nath: Marc! No! We can’t do this to them either!
Marc: (whines) Oh c’mon, what’s the problem now?! This one has got to be flawless! They are so close to kissing, they just need a little push!
Nathaniel: (raises an eyebrow) And by little push, you mean having our friends literally push them together and force them to kiss? Marc, there’s no way we can do that to them! It’s wrong and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal too! What the hell is wrong with you?!
(Nathaniel knew that Marc wasn’t thinking clearly. He knew that Marc was against trying to force love onto someone and a ruthless critique when it came to other writers trying to force their ideals of “perfect lovers” onto their characters when there were better choices for character pairings.)
Marc: (his smile slowly falters into a frown) What’s wrong with me? (starts to chuckle unsteadily) You think that something is wrong with me?! Oh let me tell you something, Nathaniel Kurtzberg, if there is something wrong with anyone, it would be MARINETTE and ADRIEN! (Starts anxiously digging his finger through his hair) You know, when Alya and Nino first approached us and asked for our help to bring Marinette and Adrien together, I thought to myself “This is going to be so much fun!” and “It will be just like writing a romantic love story but in real life!”. I was more than happy to help out our friends and I was excited to play the part of Eros alongside you. I wanted to see them both become our LONG awaited favorite couple and do all of that “cutesy” couple stuff that either makes others go “awwww” or shout “Get a room!”. But most importantly, I wanted them to be happy together and to finally get over acting all awkward around each other so everything is not always so tense and complicated whenever they are in the same room together! (grips the sides of his head) But those two…those two, Nathaniel, are just so FUCKING FRUSTRATING! Don’t get me wrong, I love Marinette. She’s like a sister or a cousin to me and she was the first friend I made here at Dupont. If it wasn’t for her, I would probably still be writing alone under the stairs every day and avoiding human interaction as much as possible. BUT THAT GIRL IS SO FUCKING CLUMSY THAT IT IS OFFICIALLY CRINGE!!!!! It doesn’t matter how I set up each scenario, she always manages to trip over, fall, and break everything that crosses her path! Never mind KISSING Adrien, we’ll all be lucky if she doesn’t KILL him first. Oh and speaking of Adrien, how can someone so well-educated be so FUCKING CLUELESS?! I mean, I get it. He was homeschooled and sheltered all of his life, but how can he be so OBLIVIOUS towards Marinette’s obvious crush on him?! Seriously, she literally acts like she has rabies every time she tries to talk to him and apparently, he has to pretend to be a wax statue to get her to “profess her feelings” to him, and yet that obvious sign still goes over his fucking head! (tilts his head to the side). So you want to know what my problem is, Nath, or as you put it “What’s wrong with me?”?! I’ll tell you what my problem is! My problem is that in addition to schoolwork and writing our comics, I’ve had to spend the last couple of months playing matchmaker for two of the most awkward people in our grade! Tell me, Nath, do you enjoy sleeping? I know I USED TO!!!! I didn’t expect the first couple of “Adrinette” plans to succeed and I would be lying if I said I didn’t anticipate a few setbacks, but for FUCK’S SAKE! IT’S BEEN MONTHS!!! MONTHS!!!!! I’m all out of ideas, Nath! I don’t know what to do! This shouldn’t be that difficult! She likes him and he likes her. We’ve established that. (Slams his head down onto the table and starts pounding his fist on the table repeatedly) HOW HARD IS IT TO GET TWO PEOPLE TO FUCK-.....
Nathaniel: Marc!
Marc: -ING KISS ALREADY!!!!!
(Nathaniel was at a loss for words. His partner was having a complete breakdown and he wasn’t sure what he should say next. Did Marc admit that he was losing sleep over this?! Marc hardly ever pulled all-nighters because he knew that a lack of proper sleep wasn’t good for his anxiety. The whole “Adrinette” plans were supposed to be like a side project. When did they let these romantic fantasies become one of their priorities?! Nathaniel knew that Marc didn’t like letting others down and that he always put his own well-being last, but this was extreme even for him. This must have been building up for a while, but why was he letting this all out now? What could have triggered this breaking point? Marc was fine yesterday, even after their latest “Adrienette” plan had failed, he didn’t show any signs of frustration or resentment. Honestly, Marc was acting like that one time he stayed up all night to rewrite their manuscripts for their comics after the original copy was lost and he drank-....That’s when it hit Nathaniel! The unhinged body language. His erratic fast-talking rants. His violently shaky hands. Nathaniel’s eyes quickly fell onto Marc’s blue Stanley tumbler cup with “My Hero Academia” stickers decorated all over.)
Nathaniel: (eyes Marc with suspicion) Marc, what’s in your cup?
(Marc immediately raises his head off the table and looks at the artist with nervously shifting eyes.)
Marc: Uh…what?
Nathaniel: (crosses his arms) Marc Anciel, you heard me. What have you been drinking out of that cup?
(Marc’s eyes darted around nervously as he actively tried to think up a cover-up. Nathaniel’s suspicions were confirmed as he noticed how the writer took his time to answer the artist’s question as well as how much his eyes kept shifting all over the place.)
Nathaniel: Marc, there’s coffee in that cup, isn’t there?
Marc: (frantically) What?! No! It’s not coffee! It’s just water!
Nathaniel: Your lying, Marc. If there was water in that cup, you would have just told me right away and wouldn’t have asked me to repeat myself.
Marc: No! Nath, I swear I’m not lying! I swear on my life!
Nathaniel: (raises an eyebrow with a smirk) What about on your moms’ lives?
(Silence fell between the two boys. Nathaniel was playing dirty, but it was necessary to get the truth out. Marc then started fidgeting with his fingers nervously and let out a sigh.)
Marc: (avoids eye contact with Nathaniel) Okay fine, maybe it is coffee.
Nathaniel: (gives Marc a disapproving look) I knew it! Marc…
Marc: (frantically exclaims) Look, I’m under a lot of pressure right now! Our next meeting with the editor is in three weeks and I had to finish writing the ending to our next comic issue so you could start drawing the panels! Not to mention I had to finish my science homework as well as come up with more doomed-to-fail ideas for our desperate attempts to get our friends’ ship to sail! I needed it to help me stay awake and keep me going!
Nathaniel: (looks at Marc with a concerned, softened expression) Marc, you know what coffee does to you. Drinking caffeine makes your anxiety worse. You could’ve given yourself another panic attack or be close to one right now.
Marc: (forces a grin) But I’m fine, Nath! Everything is fine! I swear, you and my moms worry too much. I can handle a little caffeine.
Nathaniel: Just how much of this “little caffeine” have you had, Marc? And I want the truth this time.
Marc: (eyes shift left and right as he twiddles his fingers nervously) I’ve only had one cup…or maybe two? ……give or take five?
Nathaniel: (eyes widen in shock) Marc!
Marc: (defensively) I said I was under pressure!
Nathaniel: (points at Marc’s cup) That’s your fifth cup of coffee?!
Marc: Weeeellllll, technically it's my sixth cup that I just started drinking…
Nathaniel: (gives Marc a stern look) Ok, Marc. I think you’ve had more than enough. I’m cutting you off.
(Unfortunately for Nathaniel as he starts reaching for his partner’s cup, the writer immediately snatched it off the table and started backing away from Nathaniel slowly. This caught the artist off guard as he watched the wide-eyed, erratic boy hold his cup protectively against his chest. Nathaniel then put his hands up in a placating gesture.)
Nathaniel: (tries to approach the writer cautiously and calmly) Marc…let’s stay calm and be reasonable. You're not well and I want to help you. Please, give me the coffee-...
(As Nathaniel tries to reach for the cup, his partner lets out a loud hiss at the artist like a wild cat and bolts out of the art room, leaving the artist flabbergasted.)
Nathaniel: D-Did…Did he just seriously hiss at me?
Well, hope you all enjoyed part one, and stay tuned for part two!

29 for Adrienette ♡
29. …as a promise
“I’m not going.”
Adrien’s frown deepened enough he could almost hear his father scolding him about wrinkle lines.
“Don’t give me that face, I’ve made my decision and I’m not going. End of discussion.”
Marinette stared him down with arms crossed in front of her chest. Her mouth was pinched and her shoulders strained by her ears, a tell-tale sign she was stressed and uncomfortable.
Adrien took a deep breath to calm the burst of energy he felt at the flare of her stubborn streak and reached out across the table to grab her hand.
She didn’t flip her hand over and slide her fingers into the spaces between his like was customary between them, but she didn’t pull away either and Adrien took that as a signal to continue.
“Please, can we talk about this?” he asked, head lowered and eyes peering up through his lashes.
“I know what you’re doing,” she glared at him “and it’s not gong to work.”
The murmurs of the other patrons in the small cafe blanketed their conversation and he found himself leaning farther over the table to be closer to her.
“You can’t throw away an opportunity like this.”
“It’s my opportunity,” she countered “I absolutely can.”
He shook his head. “But you can’t do it for me.”
Marinette scoffed, squeezing his hand reflexively. “Well someone certainly thinks highly of themselves today.”
He raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe I just don’t want to go,” she tried.
If he could lift his eyebrow any higher, he would.
“Japan is far! And I don’t even know the language,” she pulled her hand out from under his and emphasized her words by ticking each reason off a finger. “I’d miss my parents and I don’t really like fish all that much and I wouldn’t get to watch fashion shows with Alya and who would water Mme. Cardiner’s plants–”
“–you were one of three people chosen out of hundreds if not thousands of applicants for this internship, Marinette,” he cut her off. “With one of your favorite designers. Your parents are going to call you every night. Alya facetimes you 80% of the time as it is. You’ll learn the language and Mme. Cardiner will find someone else and it’s not even all that far, you know we’ll take every opportunity we can to visit you.”
She held his eyes for a moment longer before dropping them back to the table. Fiddling with her fingers, she said with a low and soft voice “but I won’t get to see you everyday.”
He felt the pricks of tears forming behind his eyes, but he pushed them back down.
She shook her head, staring at her lap. “I can’t go off to Japan while you’re still going to university in Paris. I just can’t.”
“Marinette,” he called but she didn’t meet his eyes.
He pushed back his chair, cringing at the squeak it made against the floor, and walked to her side of the table.
Crouching low on the ground, he took both her hands in his own, rubbing his thumb along her knuckles.
“Marinette. We can do this. We’re going to be okay.”
“But what if we’re not?” A tear started to roll down her cheek but she quickly caught it with her shoulder. “What if we’re not and it’s all my fault?”
He gently cupped her cheek with one hand while the other traced up her forearm until his thumb rested on the soft skin of the inside of her elbow.
“What if you didn’t take this chance and you always regretted it? What if you walk away from your dreams and it’s all my fault?”
“That would never happen.” She was quick to say, shaking her head vigorously. “I would never regret a moment of my time with you.”
“I would never regret a moment of watching you reach your dream.”
She blew out a puff of air halfway between a laugh and a sob.
“We can do this,” he said again. “Yes, it will suck and I’ll miss you like crazy. But I’ll visit you all the time. We’ll talk constantly. We’ll plan our life together for when you get back. I’ll send you care packages and you’ll yell at me to do my laundry.” He laughed but it sounded wet and he realized he must have started crying too. “We can make it through a few years.”
“It’ll be alright,” she tried to affirm but it sounded more like a question.
Both of his hands held her face and he chased tears with his fingertips. “It’ll be alright.” He raised himself slightly, enough so they were exactly face-to-face and their noses brushed sweetly.
“You promise?” she whispered, eyes closing as another tear escaped.
His lips grazed hers in a delicate kiss and he murmured against her mouth, “Promise.”

Miraculous World: New York - United HeroeZ live-blogging (sorta)
Okay, it’s hard for me to live-blog everything I want to squee about, especially with the first watch. But I’m still wide awake and watching the re-air so let’s see how I do. (Turns out, I’m a slower typer than I thought and most of this was done post-watch again :P )
I absolutely love this special’s opening credits. It has a very Marvel feel. Nice.
Um... Uh... Did... Did Cristina Vee forget her Ladybug/Marinette voice over the break? I’m not liking this voice. I’m not liking it at all. STOP WITH THE VOICE! NOOOOOOO! (Also... Mr. Pigeon... Again? -_- )
Love that Adrien has started looking up the meaning of roses so he can find one Ladybug will actually accept. XD The boy tries so hard. <3
Hubby thought that Cristina might have decided to change up Ladybug’s voice so it’s not so obvious she’s Marinette (a la Batman) but the deeper voice is still here for Marinette. WHYYYYY!? The hiatus was clearly too long. She’s completely forgotten Marinette’s voice. OTL
Awww, Miss Bustier is pregnant!? She’ll be a great mom! eeeee
Also, smoooooooooth Marinette. Adrien is TOTALLY just a friend now... >_> Poor Luka. -_-
Also... ALYA’S VOICE IS WRONG TOO! WHAT THE HECK! WHYYYYYYYY. THIS IS SO AWESOME BUT I JUST CAN’T WITH THESE NEW VOICES! Everyone sounds deeper and gruffer... is that because the VAs are out of practice? Is it because they had to record at home with different equipment? What’s going on!?
Of COURSE Gabriel suspects a Miraculous in America. Good way to bring him to the States. At least Keith Silverstein remembered his Gabriel/Hawk Moth voice. I don’t know if I could have handled either Hawky or Adrien having the wrong tone of voice in this.
Oh. Oh no! Oh dear! Nathalie’s voice is the worst! At least hers can be explained away that she’s still recovering from the Battle for the Miracle Box but... *cringe*
KAGAMI’S OFF TOO! I think it’s 100% the actors not remembering the voices they used for these characters. -_- Such a shame. This movie is amazing, but the voices are so hard for me to get past.
OMG, THE LITTLE CAT TO ALERT LADYBUG IS FLIPPIN’ ADORABLE! I’d hit the button a million times myself, so I feel ya, Chat Noir. Also, BRILLIANT play, Ladybug. :D
Equally brilliant plan on Plagg’s part. At least, it would have been if they were able to actually exercise it. Also.... WHERE DID THIS POWER OF FLIGHT COME FROM AND WHY DIDN’T THEY USE IT BEFORE!? >_> Me thinks the recipe for this power is magically going to be forgotten again once we get into the show proper.
Also, I know there will be salt thrown by the handful at Adrien after this special BUT THE BOY DIDN’T WANT TO ABANDON PARIS! He was going to stay and give up his class trip, but Plagg was right, when does Gabriel ever give him the freedom to do something like this? As someone who never got to go on any out-of-state (let alone out-of-country) class trips, I know how hard FOMO hits. If I had the chance, I would have jumped at it, ESPECIALLY after Plagg came up with a solid plan. EVEN SO, HE WAS GOING TO STAY! PLAGG CONVINCED HIM! And Plagg meant well. He wanted his kid to have a taste of freedom. Just... JUST LEAVE THESE TWO PRECIOUS BEANS ALONE, SALTERS!
UPDATE: The salters did NOT leave Adrien alone for this -_-
-_- And of course Luka’s voice is ALSO off. Still, my boy RACING A FRIGGEN BUS so Marinette can make the trip to NYC! SUCH A FRIGGEN GOOD BOI AND HOW CAN FANS HATE HIM HE’S JUST AMAZING AND *chef kiss* My heart just BREAKS for him though, because he’s sending his would-be girlfriend off on a weeklong class trip with her “former” crush and he KNOWS she’s still in love, but he’s not asking her to stay or pushing her to give up on Adrien and omg this kid is too pure my poor son!
UPDATE: So, apparently the hate mostly comes from Luka being - excuse the pun but - “one note” where as Kagami is more fleshed out and well rounded? Really? We know just as much about her as we do Luka. Just because we’ve seen Kagami flawed and we haven’t particularly seen Luka stumble that makes her more well-rounded? What if we just haven’t seen what Luka’s bad at? It IS possible to write someone whose flaws don’t necessarily come up often without them being some 2D Mary Sue. Give the writers (and Luka) a chance....
Awww. Adrien feeling guilty about leaving Paris and Ladybug. :’( But look at how cheered up he was just by SEEING Marinette! LOOK AT HOW HE RACED TO HER TO SEE WHERE SHE WAS SITTING!
Aaaaand then she panics. -_- This could have been Startrain all over again, but NOOOOO she’s now so focused on “he’s just a friend and I have to get over him” that she just has 0 chill around him anymore. -_- Go back to admitting you have a crush and just stumbling over yourself around him, huh?
(The Adrienette is STRONG in this scene though and I’m eating it up)
LOOK AT HOW DISAPPOINTED ADRIEN LOOKS SINCE SHE RAN OFF FROM HIM! WHYYYYYYY? And he has to be stuck sitting between his bodyguard and Mendeleiev. Poor kid doesn’t even have a friend to chat with on the long flight. TT3TT
(So kind of serves Marinette right that she ALSO feels guilty about leaving Paris and now she has Mr. Damocles falling asleep on her instead of Adrien!)
I do appreciate that Cristina seems to be remembering Marinette’s voice more-or-less finally. Yay.
EEEEEE The sunset on the plane scene!!!!! <3 He speaks so softly to her and <3 <3 <3 (Also... Bryce Papenbrook seemed to have lost his Adrien voice in this recording... -_- )
UUUgh... was that still Ben Diskin doing Nino’s voice during the whole Operation New York dialogue with Alya? That didn’t sound anything like Nino! *sigh* Again, the main problem I have with this is the actors didn’t seem to get back into character before recording. Such a shame.
UPDATE: It was in fact NOT Ben Diskin anymore. :’( The new voice actor did well enough, but it just wasn’t Nino. I’m sure it will feel more like him the more I hear it, but I already miss the Southern Cali 90s Surfer Dude accent, even if it made no sense for a Gen Z Parisian to have it in the first place.
Awww, Mr. Damocles changing into his Knight Owl costume. <3 And then had to change back out of it. XD
They... actually named a superhero Uncanny Valley......
Knight Owl and Sparrow, AKA Batman and Robin.
“That’s just Captain Redlight directing traffic.” XD I mean, yeah, we have a lot of superhero characters but I think this is a bit much.
Alya oh so discretely pointing to Marinette as Nino directs Adrien to look out the window to see how beautiful NYC is. XD
AAAAAAND sliding doors vs Adrienette part 1. LOL I love how Aeon instantly figured out that Adrienette belong together.
Ooooooo Sabrina is gonna get herself an American boyfriend (And look at how jealous Chloe gets XD)
Adrien’s Soft Smile as Marinette realizes she was resting her hand on his stomach as she was hiding from Ms. Mendeleiev. So cute!
“Is it a bird?” “A plane” “No, it’s Hotdog Dan!” Oh. Em. Gee. Seriously? Ketchup Boy and Mustard Justice? Why!? Who came up with these code names!? XDDD
HOW DID NINO AND ALYA JUST RIP A HOTDOG IN HALF!?
eeeeeeeeeeeee THE FLOATING SCENE!!!!
Also, helium-voiced Nino commenting about his chick having wings <3
“Do you know this song?” I KNEW INSTANTLY WHERE ALYA WAS GOING WITH THIS AND I’M 100% HERE FOR IT. I AM SCREAMING!
Adrien’s soft asking Marinette to dance with him? He was practically PLEADING for her to say yes! And then she just scurries away from him!? And he grabs her hand to stop her from floating away. And then they just... nuzzle into each other as they dance and... yup. I’m screaming. <3 <3 <3 <3 (Also, the dance was at a party Chloe threw to prove to Adrien that she can be nice; it wasn’t her birthday, but I guess canonically it now was????)
Superheroes in America don’t have to hide their identities... perhaps someone should look into the comic book run of Avengers Civil War and decide if that’s a good thing... >_>
“I don’t mind being stuck with a friend like you” My heart is just flatlining. Like. ADRIEN, JUST SAY YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HER ALREADY, OKAY!?
Jess and Aeon’s plan is as convoluted as one of Marinette’s XD I just love these two and I hope we see more of them.
Ah, Alya and Nino are good at manipulating their friends.
Paris is under attack! Oh no! 0_0
Ah, bargain-bin Doctor Octopus
After fully watching the special I know the answer, but when first hearing Sparrow I wondered if maybe Jess was genderfluid. Kind of a reverse of the Sailor Stars.
The transformation for the American heroes is both awesome and ridiculous and I love them.
“Marinette’s in danger” Adrien then INSTANTLY becomes Chat Noir to save her! <3 <3 <3 <3 I FREAKED when I first watched this part because I was afraid he might have spotted (excuse the pun) Marinette transforming. I was also curious how they were going to explain why they were in NYC. “I’ll explain later” is a good excuse. They are preoccupied by the villain and that gives him time to come up with a lie. Smart?
Aaaaand Cristina Vee forgot her Ladybug voice again. I hope this isn’t a new thing; switching up her voice for Ladybug. I’m not much of a fan, especially since she hasn’t always done it. :/
It kills me that Sparrow constantly comments about not calling for backup and gets in trouble for not calling when Sparrow DID try and the communicator was destroyed.
*flinch* The Chat Noir Cataclysm scene. My heart. It hurts. Poor Adrien. </3 All the guilt he has to hold for the majority of the second half of this thing.
EDIT: Totally forgot about the “American superhero gets understandably emotional over a loved one and smashes the villain through about half-a-dozen buildings with complete disregard for the collateral damage” trope.
Dollar Store Batman couldn’t figure out the manhole cover wasn’t in place. Whoops.
The breakdown scene where Ladybug lets Chat Noir know about how her powers work and how she can’t repair Paris. And Adrien giving up his powers. </3 And even though she’s so upset, and she felt betrayed by Chat Noir, the fact that she INSTANTLY yelled when she heard him renouncing his Miraculous and relinquishing it to Ladybug! And her TEARS as she realizes she lost him and won’t be able to return his Miraculous to him since she can’t even ask Fu to return it anymore!? Aaaaaaaaa! My heart!
“Gilbert?” XD I’m sorry but just hearing the poor little Eagle calling out the name is just too adorable.
ADRIEN WANDERING ALONE IN THE RAIN!? MARINETTE LOOKING ONTO THE CAT MIRACULOUS ALSO IN THE RAIN!? MY HEART IS BREAAAAAAAKINGGGGGG
The press conference requesting the NYC residents to stay inside until further notice. >_> Yeah... that... that might not work out so well if real life is any indication.....
“I wouldn’t have minded being stuck here a little longer with a friend like you.” >______< OH MY GOD, ADRIEN! (Also, Bryce lost his Adrien voice again... *sigh*)
Oh, and Marinette trying to chase him down to finally confess!? TT3TT
Oh man. Releasing a superhero from her fear of her powers. That can’t be.... yup. There goes like a dozen buildings in Manhattan.... -_-
Of course the POTUS is a superhero as well.... with access to weapons. Greaaaat. This isn’t a terrifying thought right about now.
I adore Sparrow. I ADORE SPARROW. I ABSOLUTELY FRIGGEN ADORE SPARROW!
About a million missile launchers hidden throughout the streets of NYC... >_< This isn’t hitting close to home or anything.
Eeeeeee. Marinette isn’t just unsure she can be Ladybug without A Chat Noir. She needs HER Chat Noir. She needs ADRIEN specifically. (Also, there goes Bryce once more forgetting his Adrien voice. Maybe he forgot what Adrien sounds like when he’s sad???)
UPDATE: Can we just talk for a minute the significance that Uncanny Valley - the superhero (accidentally) KILLED by Chat Noir (even if she was revived shortly after) - is the one happily returning Adrien’s superhero powers to him? How she has NO malice towards whatsoever towards Chat Noir? How SHE is the one to tell him that “to err is human”!? Beautiful! Love it!
Nice. I liked that Uncanny can’t see the kwamis. Nice continuity.
THE LADYNOIR GLOMP! She was so afraid to never see him again. I LOVE how much this solidifies how important he is to HER, if not the team itself.
The Americans being coerced by a foreign power to start a world war. -_- This truly is hitting too close to home right now....
Uh...How did Ladybug come up with the plan to trick Doorman to go to the Statue of Liberty? Both her and Adrien were already out of the room when he talked about the mystery of Eiffel’s safe inside the statue, and Marinette didn’t have any time to talk to Alya, so the two of them couldn’t have discussed how Doorman resisted figuring out this mystery because you don’t use your superhero powers for personal gain. Did she just luck into there being a mystery there that Doorman wanted to solve? Slight continuity issue there with the writing.... Whoops.
Awww, poor Doorman. He just wants to know the answer to the mystery!
Eagle’s transformation is so awesome! I love it. I love her. I want more of these American superheroes and wielders.
I love that Knight Owl and Sparrow are hand-me-down superhero titles!
Oh my god, Hawk Moth slowly walking backwards dramatically from the window. XD WHY IS THIS MAN SO EXTRA AS WELL!? At least we know where Adrien gets it from. :P
I FORGOT ABOUT THE GORILLA! OMG! THAT IS AN AMAZING CALL BACK TO HIM! XDDD
So the American Miracle Box looks like it’s filled with Native American styled jewelry. So... are they based off the spirit totems!? I NEED TO KNOW MOOOOOOOORE!
UPDATE: Upon really paying attention to the opening credits, yes, the American Miraculous do indeed seem to be based off spirit totems.
I’m sure there’s more that I reacted to in real-time, but, as I mentioned at the top, I wasn’t writing fast enough to keep up with the pace of the show itself, so this is also largely by memory. :P Oh well. Always wanted to do a sort of reaction post about this series. One thing off the fandom bucket list, I guess.

Miraculous Ladybug Rewatch Episode 72 Party Crasher
The perfect party to KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!
“One of these days, I'm gonna come over and KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!”
“Is everything going to plan, Nathalie?”
“Yes. On route to the airport, sir. You will officially be spending the entire weekend in Tokyo”
“No one will ever suspect that you stayed home. Until you akumatize someone”
“Merging them will grant me absolute power to reshape reality, and finally reverse our past mistake” My theory is becoming more true everytime Gabriel talks about it.
“My butterflies are ready! Ready to be Akumas!”
“Okay, remember our objective. To penetrate the impenetrable fortress, aka Adrien's pad, aka Area 51“
“If we Naruto run we should avoid the bullets”
Accurate picture of Gabriel.
“Kim, have a swimming lesson”
“Great! I always have my trunks on me” Well if I learned anything from Startrain.
“Nino was asked at the last minute to DJ his grandma's birthday party”
“Ivan suddenly got a toothache and rushed over to the dentist”
“Nathaniel crashed his computer and lost all the pages of the comic book he and Marc are doing“
“Max and Markov are helping them fix it”
“Kim had to go to the pool for a mandatory swim lesson, though I'm not entirely sure why he texted me that” Juleka can see the bullshit.
“Did I miss something, or is it bad excuses world championship today?” Yeah they know.
Who needs money when you can get action figures.
“Is there any game you don’t have?” “I don’t have the Zelda CDI games” “You’re better off without them”
“All the boys are unavailable with really lame excuses, and trust me, I know a lame excuse when I hear them”
“I’ve turned into an expert at them since I became... you-know-who” Marinette is Voldemort confirm.
“I know, I’m gonna call Ivan. He can’t lie to save his life”
“Don’t pick up! You can’t lie to save your life” Ivan exposed.
“Adrien’s dad left town for Tokyo’s fashion week. While the cat’s away, the mice will play” More like while the moth’s away, the cat will play. With his turtle, snake, horse, monkey, maybe ox, maybe rooster, and maybe goat friends.
“But isn’t Marinette... one of my guys?” Adrien considers Marinette to be one of his guys.
“Woah! These can’t be your awesome old records”
“They were my mother’s” *Cries in French*
“Nathaniel and Marc? Going to Adrien’s house? This can only mean one thing” “What Marinette?” “They plan to make out in a closet cause Adrien’s dad is out of town. Or there’s a party at Adrien’s house”
*Load Music in French*
“Emilie!” *Screams in French*
I can’t explain these.
“Wait I never gave the banana costume back, so how did...?”
“Hello It's a-me: Mario!”
“What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be extra careful? You know, keeping the Miraculous hidden so Hawkmoth won't find them?” “Yes that’s true, especially since we are in his house” “Wait what?”
I can’t explain this either.
“I like your style!”
“Look out, sir!”
“Thank you, young man. Your natural reflexes are quite good”
“Helping others should always be a natural reflex, like swimming is for fish”
*Screams in Monkey*
“I don't feel any negative emotion. There's only...”
“Happiness?”
“In my house!”
“Party Crasher, I am Hawkmoth. So you weren't invited? Well I'm giving you the power to crash that party, and KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!“
Keep this in mind when watching the NY Special.
“Marinette?”
“Uh... no, no, no, no! It's a-me: Mario!”
*Screams in Adrienette*
*Screams in French*
“NO!”
“Don't go in there alone! You'll never pull this off by yourself”
“Give me my lady back!”
“Need some back up?”
“Pegasus?”
“Viperion?” When this episode aired before Desperada and Startrain.
There’s an akuma and Kim just swims.
“Awww! A flying monkey plushie!”
“I'm no plushie! My name's Xuppu, you nitwit!”
“My name's not nitwit! My name's Kim!”
You can see the regret in his eyes.
“I'm wondering if this was the smartest move after all” Me questioning my life choices
“Xuppu, I Wanna Be Like You!”
“Now face the most fearsome supervillain ever created!”
Party Crasher must never returned.
Fear the banana.
“The only solution is to be so unpredictable that he can't read our dance steps” “So Fortnite Dance?” “Yes, Fortnite Dance everyone!”
“Always wanted to do that!”
“I'm sorry, Wayhem. I swear I had no idea my friends were gonna surprise me”
“What matters is that you great time, with or without me. And I got to KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM! This is the best day of my life!”
“Wait. Where are Luka and Wayhem?” “They were right behind us” “Wayhem better not be making out with Luka in a closet. I’m suppose to be the one making out with Luka in a closet!”
“I'll be leading you in a dance. A dance of doom” “Well we got lost. Where are we anyway?” “No idea” “How did you two get here?!” “Oh hey a corpse. Wait a minute aren't you supposed to be in Tokyo? Then again, should’ve known since there was an akuma” “This just in we found the Agreste’s Basement Corpse!” “Nathalie, help me!”
New Hero: King Monkey. Identity: Le Chien Kim. Power: Jubilation.
Let’s cringe everyone.

Adrienette Snippet
“Marinette!” Adrien called after her. She was walking out of the school building alone. The sound of her name being called by him made her heart jump uncomfortably. For a second, she wanted to pretend she hadn’t heard him and keep going, but she couldn’t avoid him like that. She sighed and turned around.
“Hey Adrien,” she gave a small smile, but her eyes never met his.
“Can I talk to you a minute? Please? It’s important.”
“Don’t you have somewhere to be though? A photo shoot or practice or something else really important?”
“Nothing more important than you. Please Marinette?” he rushed it out, still a bit out of breath from trying to catch up to her. She glanced at him then, his gaze anxious and intense down at her. Her train of thought suddenly faded away and she blurted out “Sure” before she could think about what she was doing. She internally cringed as soon as she realized what she had said. Her plan was to keep her distance from him until she could handle him being with Kagami and found happiness of her own. Now her plan failed because of her inability to turn Adrien down.
“Great!” He beamed. “Come with me.”
He led her down to the seine, a place he liked to visit when he needed to figure things out. It was a beautiful spot, really, especially on a sunny day like today. He watched her walk to the waters edge. She paused, let out a sigh, and hugged her chest. He furrowed his brow slightly, but ignored it.
“Marinette, I have to ask you something but please, please be honest with me. I feel like I’m missing something here, because everything seems so contradicting with you.”
“Sure,” she shrugged, continuing to look out at the sparkling river.
“Do you...Were you being honest both times I asked you about...about your feelings...for me? I’m asking because I want to believe what you told me, because you told it to me, but I can’t help but notice your actions aren’t matching your words, and after that car ride...” Adrien looked down at the ground, the pain having returned to his eyes. She hated that look. It caused her pain that coursed through her like a shot of fire had been injected into her blood stream.
“I...” she couldn’t lie to cover it up, not again. He’d either know it, or it would just make matters worse. Marinette didn’t want to cause him any pain, but that’s all she had been doing with her white lies to cover up her feelings. “I wasn’t being honest with you, I’m sorry Adrien. I shouldn’t have lied about it. But it’s good I did, because you said there’s someone else you love. I understand that, and I can handle that. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.”
His bright green eyes had grown wide and his heart hammered in his chest. Part of him had always guessed it was a possibility, but he never took time to think about it.
Marinette was the only one he’d ever actually be happy with if he couldn’t be with Ladybug. He wasn’t sure of that until this moment, but he always felt this pull when it came to her. He had wanted to keep her close to him, but he never knew why or how. Marinette was involved and close with everyone, everyone but him. He assumed he simply wanted the same treatment as them, too. But no...She was more important than any of his other friends, and he never was sure why that was either. Until now when it clicked into place. In a way, she was greater and braver than Ladybug. She helped and saved people on a daily basis in a difficult and non-glamorous way, nobody ever thinking twice about what all she does for everyone. But he knew. He knew it all, he remembered it all.
Grinning, he walked up to Marinette, her back turned to him. Adrien looked down and slipped his hand into hers, the action made her jump and gasp.
“Wh-What are you doing?! Isn’t there someone else that you....” she trailed off as he smiled a very Chat-worthy grin.
“About that, I think I’ll be much happier, and luckier, being with Paris’s secret everyday Ladybug.”
“I-“ she uttered but didn’t know what to say. He was holding her hand. Adrien admitted he wanted to be with her instead. Was this real life, or was she dreaming?
“Want to go get some of Andre’s ice cream?” he offered. If this was a dream, she certainly wasn’t going to waste time questioning it, because if it wasn’t, she’d surely regret it.
“I’d like that,” she smiled up at him, managing not to stutter. They walked hand in hand on their way to Andre’s ice cream cart on the other side of the city, giving them plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company.
