bullet train gave me fucking brain rot, okay, just bear with me and sorry if anyone has done this before but fuck it.
ladybug is actually so fucking proficient
he says it's bad luck, because of his newfound desire to not kill people or try not to (and I truly think it all, therapy, choosing to try not to kill people, just snatch and grab jobs, all came to a head when Lemon shot him, for several reason that were briefly touched on in the movie but, whatever, that's another post) but he is SCARILY proficient.
Here's my headcanon and explanation why he ends up killing people EVEN WHEN trying not to, EVEN WHEN he pauses to talk them out of it, which is really just asking them if they REALLY wanna fight cause he KNOWS how it'll end, and if he doesn't win....he's sorta resigned to it. Anyway.
My entire family consists of skilled fighters that have been fighting their entire life.
So I KNOW after years - and ladybug has been in this business for a LONG time - a fight, and navigating a fight, just becomes another one of your senses, it is so natural your body and mind just DO
Every instance he gets the high ground because he's so practiced, even being out for a little while for normal jobs, even while being clumsy, even with his so called bad luck.
If he hadnt been trying to ACTIVELY not kill them, based just on intuition from years of practice, he would have killed them before they even had a chance to kill him.
If he hadnt disliked guns, they wouldn't have even gotten close to him.
He's vigilant, and quick, and innovative--when he closed the door on tangerines arm, when he baited hornet, talking her into grabbing the antidote, then QUICKLY grabbed it from her and used it on himself, even before when he injected her with the poison.
When Lemon shot him in the flashback, he just reacted with exasperation because he had been shot before, probably multiple times from his reaction to it.
He's made out to be a lot less formidable than he actually is, and the reason he comes across that way is because of his nonchalance and resignation to the situation at hand and the resignation leads to him being goofy and clumsy and careless in the moment.
And he has so much resignation because of his years of experience, and the shit he's been through, much like The Elder.
He couldve killed Hornet when he had the briefcase above her, and chose to give her a chance by talking to her, he couldve killed lemon in the beginning when he was sitting in front of him, and gave another chance by talking to him.
He killed the Wolf, accident and instinct, he killedtangerine mortally wounded tangerine.
And all of these are highly skilled killers.
The skill it took to throw a knife that clean, that precisely, from over 6 feet away on a fast moving train, while crouching, and hit the target in the heart with enough depth he sunk immediately, and not hurt lemon at all in the process? Even lemon was surprised.
Bad luck, or is it just a resignation to kill, instinct, and extreme proficiency.
Bad luck or just not caring because he's been in this business for so long, left it, just to return and realize, fuck, he really didn't miss this chaos.
Bad luck or muscle memory?
No, Ladybug is one of the most proficient hitmen on that train and I wonder how ruthless he used to be before he decided to become a new man.
And he also just has really good luck, who the fuck survives a train splitting and crashing like that? The fuck.

Metthew gripping Taylor, like his life depends on it, feels exactly like me rewatching RWRB for the millionth time, cause life's too hard, but Alex stormed a fucking castle to look at Herny in the eyes and tell him that he loved him, knowing that he wouldn't say back.
So no, imma watch it again cause knowing every dialoge by heart isn't enough for me

i love the new update on the uraraka fic!! i know you dont tag ships for this fic but can i just ask if the togachako dynamic is intentional? love love their dynamic
hey thanks for the love! short answer, yes. long answer:
this fic is sort of an ode to the mary sue trope, so i tried to set it up so that every character has got to have a "tension" with suechako in a way that would have been romantic if only suechako isn't the way that she is. i joke about the mental illness triangle but i did intend to structure it to be a bkdkchako situation in the framework of the classic "bad boy and good boy fighting over the mc girl" triangle, minus the romance. so in this way, bkdkchako is real. the togachako, the minachako and even the yaochako, they're all real. Or they could be, if only ochako isn't like that.
She would be a classic mary sue through and through (ridiculously OP, everybody cares about her, villains are obsessed with her) except for the fact that being a mary sue is actively destroying her relationship with the world as she knows it. Including her rship with everyone as she knows them.
TLDR: this fic is set up to be an ochakobowl bait.

Hey guys
I’m about to hit my 100 link limit on my masterlist, so I need to find a new way to organize my fics. 😕 Unless anyone knows a way around this?
I was thinking of putting all my ficlets/drabbles that aren’t already part of a collection (eg March madness) onto a separate collection maybe?
I don’t want to have to put too many layers for people to find the fics.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks!

a middle-aged woman who's unfortunately failing at accepting her child Doe being nonbinary is talking to her more chill friend:
- Doe got married and the couple recently adopted a baby girl. poor child, she can't even call one of her caretakers "mom" or "dad". whatever little kiddo's supposed to say!
after a moment of thinking, the friend replies:
- i dunno, to me the answer's apparent.
