To all of you who write/make art for yourself, I offer you a pleasant how?

#this is a joke #but also i am completely serious #my people pleasing tendencies could never #i deeply admire you and wish to learn your ways #it would make the creative process so much more fun #but most of the time #the only way i get myself to creative #is the idea of getting validation #or making a person happy #or just making people think #truth be told #as long as im creating #im happy #but it would be nice to be able to do it for myself more often

…

There is a point in between

The depths of the void

And the baseline of being okay

Where the desire for connection

Makes words click together like legos

And God, I shouldn’t want that

But sometimes I want nothing more

#whscziavsfatshsgdfjdkchfy #I love this so #so much 💕#I once had a person tell me #that the length of poetry doesn’t matter #and that you can create meaning and beauty #in short poems too #this was a really wonderful example of that #I FELT this inside #thank you for writing!#cw depression #writing

I did this with ml's canon longest day ever, but with @buggachat finishing BEAU, I think we need a new version of this...

Part 206 of my bakery “enemies” au!

THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!

Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!

For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.

First / Prev / All

Kofi

#🥹#i can’t believe it’s over #they deserve to rest and be happy #thank you for creating this wonderful au #and constructing this beautiful story!#you have impacted the fandom in so many ways #and created something really amazing #everyone say thank you to buggachat!#beau #miraculous ladybug

Less than 12 hours until the release of “The Tortured Poets Department”!

Hence, I present to you, “The Tortured Catboy Department”

Track List:

SIDE A: Deux Semaines (feat Ladybug) / The Tortured Catboy Department / My Lady Abandons Only Her Favourite Partners / Down Bad

SIDE B: So Long, London / But Daddy I Love Her / Fresh Out the Slammer / Akuma !!! (feat Monarch)

SIDE C: Guilty As Sin? / Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me / Even Ladybug Can’t Fix This / loml

SIDE D: I Can Do It With a Broken Heart / The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived / The Cataclysm / Adrien Agreste

Bonus Tracks: The Black Cat / Solitude / Doppelgänger / Tell-Tail Heart

(Love how so many of the original track names still work)

My takes of what each song is about/inspired by under cut (but, if you feel like it, tell me yours :D)

I’m picturing all of these to be from Adrien’s perspective so they reflect mostly his version of the situations rather than the objective reality (especially the Laybug centered ones)

Deux Semaines (feat Ladybug): This one would focus on the sequence in Multiplication where Monarch doesn’t attack and how LadyNoir’s relationship recovers from the events of Season 4.

TTCD: Kept the “Catboy” singular because while there are multiple Catboy identities, there is only one boy underneath them all. Hence while I think it would be about him just stating his issues with everything, it would also focus on loneliness and how his department is understaffed :(

MLAOHFP: All of the Season 4 LadyNoir separation arc angst, with the “Favourite” being a callback to Risk (and kinda a jab at Rena because he thinks that she’s really her favourite, but y’ know, she didn’t abandon her so Rena can’t be her actual favourite)

Down Bad: Mainly about how Chat’s love for LB makes him excuse her behaviors, but also makes him act out (maybe a reference to Elation).

SL,L: About the whole arc of Gabriel sending Adrien to London and all of the memories he would have surrounding this ordeal - key point, not “So Long, Paris” because he didn’t want to leave, and in the end he comes back to a changed world.

BDILH: This one’s either about the Chat Blanc breakup or Gabriel’s dislike of Marinette in Season 5 (or both, with maybe a line about how he feels like this has happened before)

FOTS: Adrien realizing his father is a Bad Person.

Akuma !!! (feat Monarch): This one would be like a song about his daily life and then the chorus would start with a shout of “Akuma!!!” and it would switch to him as Chat Noir. I feel like it would start out with normal life being boring/hero life being fun but as it goes on he grows exhausted. Monarch has a rap verse.

Guilty As Sin?: Chat Blanc centeric - would ask who is to blame for the destruction of the world, like is it Chat because he lost control or Hawkmoth because he took advantage of his son’s emotion?

WAoLOM: Chat Blanc centric at first (like a villain song) but ends with Adrien reflecting on the events of Evolution-Destruction-Multiplication-PS night

ELCFT: I think it would be about his relaction ship with his father and how he wishes there was something he could do to go back to how they were when Emilie was alive but there’s no easy fix and his father keeps on getting worse and worse after any attempt.

loml: A song for Marinette with a bittersweet air - she’s the love of his life but he can’t tell her everything, and she can’t tell him everything either

ICDIWaBH: CatWalker centric - him going back to Ladybug in Kuroneko.

TSMWEL: I actually have three for this one - 1. About Gabriel and his need to domineer because he feels small and powerless. 2. About Adrien feeling small and insignificant. 3.About Plagg because he’s a smol boi (it would be like a lighthearted, cheeky song, like when you sing to your pet about how adorable they are)

The Cataclysm: Literally about how he cataclysmed Monarch, but also about how the event impacted his perception of self.

Adrien Agreste: Ending the album with a song that’s his own name :o.

Now for the variants:

The Black Cat: This one has Chat on the cover and the song is mostly about his bad luck. ‘I Love You It’s Ruining My Life” works both directed at Ladybug and his father.

Solitude: With Chat Blanc on the cover, this one’s about his mother. I think the “You Don’t Get To Tell Me About Sad” is pretty self-explanatory.

Doppelgänger: CatWalker is on this one, his song would be about how he may literally be the same person but he doesn’t fully feel like himself. He had to repress a lot of himself to be CatWalker hence I thought “Am I Allowed To Cry?” fit him really well (especially with Plagg not giving him the time to fully recover before he had to jump back in). Please note the crossed out name (unlike Chat Blanc) because he’s reinventing himself.

Tell-Tail Heart: This one has Ladybug on the cover - wait she’s not a Catboy?? The song is titled “Tell-Tail Heart” as a reference to Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tell Tale Heart” and would explore Chat’s perspective of Ladybug’s guilt for keeping secrets, how any excuse she makes is ultimately unimportant because she would do it either way. The fact that this is the only song title with a pun references how Chat tries to lighten the mood and avoid serious conversations, and the “Tail” is supposed to refer to Rena Rouge. The flowers she’s holding are meant to be foxgloves which symbolise secrets and insincerity (they’re also poisonous and damage the heart :)). I also really liked the “Old Habits Die Screaming” for her as it could mean both Chat Noir’s love for her being an old habit that he cannot get rid of, but also her habit of keeping things from him (especially with how she does it again at the end of season 5) being something she can’t stop. It is also him being able to see that, despite what she tells him, her “Heart” is tells him otherwise.

(also would like to point out that he wouldn’t mention Rena by name, he’s upset, not evil)

#this is absolutely gorgeous #what art medium is this?#i cant tell if its handdrawn or digital #either way it's so so pretty #sjdkaljdfklasjfkla ahhhhhh #i love this #miraculous ladybug #ml fanart #ttpd

I'm so glad to see that people have understood the assignment here...

I personally feel like there are so many potential ways this kind of interaction could go:

If you think about it, Catwalker's main goal was to become the perfect partner for Ladybug, So if that is considered, does Catwalker change? Does he become the perfect partner for Shadybug? Or does he fit into the archetype of perfect that his father had laid out for him. Because, of course, Catwalker isn't really the "perfect partner" for Ladybug, he is what he thinks he should be, he's what he has been told he should be for the last 14 years.

So, presumably it would make sense for Catwalker to continue acting the way he was previously, with minor deviations depending on the needs and attitude of Shadybug.

But then you have Shadybug...

Considering her background, having someone supportive and giving like Catwalker around, might throw her completely off balance, it might confuse her and make her aggressive.

Shadybug has grown up in a world where she has learned not to trust people, not to rely on people. Even with her own partner, she has a contentious relationship with.

In fact, the first time we actually see people treat her with kindness, is in Marinette's bedroom, with Sabine and Claw Noir. After Sabine shows concern for her well-being and Claw Noir puts a hand on her shoulder, she meets both actions with hostility and anger, she yells at Sabine and pushes away angrily from Claw Noir.

It takes Marinette's persistence to be the first act to get Shadybug to break down her walls, a persistence that may or may not be enacted by the at time passive and unsure Catwalker.

Cat Walker might try with all his might, may attempt to give her pep-talk after pep-talk, and this may all end with her brushing him off and him trying to leave her alone.

But this is also Adrien... and it might just end with him continuing, with him lending an ear, a shoulder, a kind word, or even just the warmth of his presence to her. It might lead to a reluctant partnership to maybe then a haphazard camaraderie, to maybe even a change in heart on the part of Shadybug. She might decide to take a chance to open up to the boy who never gives up, to the one person who sticks around

There is so much possibility with the two of them, it just depends on how much of a risk they are both willing to take

Does anyone want to put Toxinelle/Shadybug and Cat Walker in a room together and see what happens

#these two have already taken my heart #two people #who are battered and broken #and are using false personalities to hide that hurt #perfection and aggression #two sides to the same coin #i need to see them together #shadywalker

Do you know what’s so beautiful and terrible and heartbreaking and wonderful about the lovesquare?

It’s the fact that they love each other, that they are meant to be with each other, that they are linked together, but…

but this tether is tenuously held together, it is delicate and fragile, the points that knot them together are frail and exact and are prone to breaking, and sitting on the line are the weights of the monumental consequences if it is torn asunder

It’s the fact that Adrien and Marinette and Ladybug and Chat Noir are so interwoven and meshed together, in their lives, in their very existence but can only actually be together under very specific circumstances.

And though the time needs to be right, and the pairing needs to be exact, and the circumstances need to be just so, they are prepared to wait. They are willing to bear every heartache and shoulder every burden, if it meant at the end of the day, they would get to fall into the arms of the other
