Adrienette stans wanna gaslight Ladynoir stans who don’t like this plot point and act like Ladynoir was always meant to be platonic from the start and Adrienette was obviously always meant to be the side that would start dating .... No.
My dudes there is a reason Ladynoir has always been more popular than Adrienette among the online fandom. There is a reason the bulk of the fancontent when the show first came out focused on romantic Ladynoir. Hell there is a reason Zag chose for their expensive piece of ship merch to be a $300+ Ladynoir statue. They’re even using romantic Ladynoir scenes to advertise their movie now. Stormy Weather, the pilot episode, the episode meant to introduce us to and sell the show to us and networks, was 99% Ladynoir. Every “Valentine’s” episode (Dark Cupid/Glaciator) has been heavily Ladynoir-centric. Chat Blanc, despite starting with Ladrien followed by an Adrienette dating montage, was heavily Ladynoir centric. “Our love did this to the world" came through Ladynoir. We were shown Ladybug getting upset any time Chat Noir seemed to show interest in another girl. We were given “maybe if Adrien didn’t exist, I’d feel differently about Chat Noir...” in s1. We were given Ladybug explicitly dodging Chat Noir’s question of if things would be different between them if her “other boy” wasn’t a factor. We were given “maybe if I show Ladybug my true self, she’ll fall in love with me,” followed by that very thing happening. We were given a second coup de foudre in Strike Back. The first kiss in this show happened through Ladynoir. The first kiss they were both conscious of happened through Ladynoir in Jubilation. We were shown Ladybug blushing after Chat Noir kissed her cheek in Glaciator. We were shown Ladybug progressively learning that Chat Noir is more sensitive than she thought and not the kind of guy she thought he was and growing closer to and more fond of him over the course of the series -- the plot of like every good romance worth reading (Pride and Prejudice anyone??).
Everyone picked up on the romantic vibes and the depth of their relationship over the past 7 years and now y’all wanna pretend we were hallucinating all along just because your fav side is canon and y’all don’t want to acknowledge the fact that cutting out Ladybug’s feelings for Chat Noir after 4 seasons of development and literally /3 episodes/ of actual visible feelings is an insane choice because it gets in the way of said side being canon. We all picked up on the fact that Chat Blanc and Ephemeral both told us explicitly that Adrienette can’t safely be together as civilians because Gabriel can and will use it to his advantage even without knowing their identities and now y’all want to pretend we’re the ones who weren’t paying attention when even the show was telling us that Adrienette is the side that can’t happen. Apparently the payoff of the 7-year-buildup of Ladybug realizing her romantic feelings for Chat Noir was ... three whole episodes. Followed by her ditching him entirely. Y’all are okay with completely ignoring the insane choice of having Marinette and Adrien not at all worried about abandoning their partners and spitting on “I’ll never abandon you” and every time they’ve ever said “you and me against the entire world” because all you see is weee cute Adrienette scenes <3333.
Like I said I and many others did not watch this show for a generic school romance we watched this show for a Love Square with identity shenanigans because that’s what was being sold to us yet apparently it was never about the "falling in love twice” and the parallels between the two relationships and two loves even though that’s what the past 4 seasons told us it was because it was actually just “adrienette with some obstacles” all along and oBvIoUsLy it was always just meant to be about romantic Adrienette!!!1!!1 I did not watch 7 years worth of romantic development on the Ladynoir side just for Adrienette stans to decide to tell me that I was actually hallucinating that whole time and that Ladynoir was always meant to be platonic

Logging off for a while. Just… really got taken by surprise by what happened.
The overall ‘thing’ that happened was nbd and is fine, if anything it’s somewhat relieving in a way bc it means I faced my fears but now I also get the barrier between me and those fears that NOT having faced them would have given me back; but the fact that someone saw a personal post about my honest fears and anxieties about a person deliberately left anonymous to not cause trouble and took that as evidence against me? And no one even questioned it?
No one thought, for one second, ‘hey, i wonder if there’s the possibility we’ve misunderstood this personal post by this stranger we don’t know, maybe we should ask them first?’
It was just immediately used to accuse me without even a chance to talk first?
That really fucking hurts and took me by surprise.
Like the rest of it’s whatever, we talked and it’s fine by me. I find it to be fairly excessive but it’s their call and whatever, if it’s genuinely causing that much stress, sure! I’m fine with that.
But the fact that I posted something that said ‘I’m afraid’ and it was immediately used to attack me was extremely hurtful and I just need some time away from all of it. I expected better.
I’ll be back at some point, probably fairly soon since I’m known to bounce back quick lol. But who knows. Idk. If you wanna talk shoot me a message and I’ll pop back on sometime later today and then again in a few days to give anyone who wants to chat my discord.
Be good you knuckleheads, and remember that my dms are always open if you ever need to talk about ANYTHING. If nothing else, I’ve got ears to listen, and I’m sure anyone who’s followed me for more than ten minutes knows I can talk your ear off about whatever if you need mindless chatter from some silly internet person with a lynx picture :) (or serious chatter! I’m good either way <3)

max i am so glad someone else also hates when people call ships like faberry and blam crackships. it is baffling to me how people will call ships that are both popular and have backing (that ranges from moments that could be read as gay to literally banging in the case of quinntana) crackships –hevanderson
FOR REAL thank you Austen, I salvage my sanity by coming on here to whine and moan to my fellow Glumblr bloggers who Get It tbh. Unfortunately I think some people misuse the term to mean anything that's not explicitly canon; Tumblr user sopheadraws informed me that, apparently, over on Glee Instagram, they use the term "crackship" to mean any non-canon ship (which isn't right, but I understand how the term's meaning is gonna fluctuate as it disseminates through different sites - language be like that).
Also the person I vagueposted about didn't even know Rachel x Quinn was a ship that existed in the fandom lol 😭?? I mean no hate, I was just surprised? Granted, I was around during Ye Olde Glee Days when Faberry was winning first place on official Glee ship contests and whatnot, so idk what it's like for Renaissance Gleeks.

Watch Jrod waited until the first daughter in law to instate a “no ring no bring” rule for family events. I know Heidi already has a ring but I’ve read stories before about no ring no bring vacations where it’s like they have to specifically be married, not just engaged.
It’s probably way more mundane than that, like she was sick and didn’t feel up to going to dinner, or wanted to spend one more thanksgiving with her parents before getting married next year (I guess September is what people are saying?) or your thought about scheduling conflicts.
But if this feud is real, I can’t ignore the thought that maybe Heidi just didn’t (and doesn’t) want to be around Jill if she didn’t absolutely have to, but she had Tim go because that’s still his family. If my future MIL was vagueposting about me to the extremes that Jill does, knowing I can see it because I have social media? You wouldn’t catch me at an in-law dinner either.
It's definitely interesting to see how Jill publicly talks about Heidi vs. her son in laws when they were in the engagement stage, bc she seemed to be obsessed with the latter lol. She invited them to everything, posted a million pics of them any chance she got (including when they were sweaty and working out which we can unpack at a later date), and just went on and on and on about them. And it kinda started like that with Heidi too until lately and I definitely think it's kinda weird that she didn't show up to Thanksgiving, since big families usually have to solidify their plans for holidays like months in advance.
After reading her book and collecting old stories people have told about Jill, I really think that her misogyny makes it hard for her to have female relationships even among Christian women, and I think that's going to carry over to girls her sons want to marry. Her standards for what constitutes a woman that is worth spending time with are just too high and she allows for almost zero exceptions. She always talks about her daughters being her best friends and I think there's more to that than her just being cheesy, I don't think she has a lot of close friendships outside of her family and I think that's probably why she doesn't prioritize that for her kids. I also think it's the reason she clings so hard to her belief that most people in the world, even Christians, are bad influences on anyone trying to be godly, because it helps her justify why so many people are put off by her and her family.
Regardless of if she and Heidi hate each other or not, I think Jill is going to struggle with women entering into her family for the most part, just because she struggles so much with women in general. Like unless they're one of the Amish neighbors from down the road, I have a hard time seeing how the majority of even conservative women would meet her ridiculous standards.

10 & 11 (except what would she use if she didn’t have a wand) for Isabel? :))
Hiiii thank you for the ask!! 💚 It makes me so happy that people want to send asks abt this :)
10. What’s an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?
I’m not really into AUs aside from my own canon-divergent material, but a modern AU could be fun :) I’ve never given it any thought so I have no idea what it would look like, but exploring how Isabel and Ominis would fall in love in modern day could be extremely cute 💚 they’d definitely be texting each other constantly over the summer and vagueposting about their crushes on social media for MONTHS. They’d also get married closer to 30. Relative to everyone else in the Victorian era, they waited kind of a long time to get married, but 20 is ridiculously young for marriage these days lol. Ominis would have a way easier time navigating the world and they could both actually get some therapy 😭 thinking about the lengths to which the Gaunts would go to drive them apart would be really fun too. With modern tech, things could get wayyyy more insidious.
11. What is your OC’s weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it?
If she didn’t have her wand, Isabel would definitely use a bow and arrow—or a crossbow a la Dr. Van Helsing, idk lol. She strikes me as ranger class and archery was a very popular women’s sport in the Victorian era anyway. She would definitely be sniping anybody who tried to come between her and her kids or husband lol

I know this is out of the blue, but thank you so much for being a real one 👍✨️
Like I have nothing against people who see Heisenberg as a gay man, they’re entitled to think that. But I draw the hard line at people who feel the need to bash others just because their views don't align, and then when confronted use the piss poor "it's just a joke" or "it's just an observation" excuses. If you're going to be a bitch at least have the balls to own up to it.
Anyway, loved your work since 2021 and wishing you all the good vibes. 🤗
Oh my goodness, thank you!!! This is such a kind message and I appreciate you so much. ❤️ Good vibes right back at you. I’m glad that my rantings have resonated with folks because sometimes I wonder if *spongebob voice* I’M the maniac. Getting dragged into this stuff really makes me feel like it sometimes, haha.
Yes! To be clear I also truly do not care what your HC’s are! I love that there are people for whom gay Heisy is their thing and I hope they are having fun and keep making their art/fic/etc! Even if I really can’t stand the popular fanon ship I’m so glad it exists for folks who enjoy it and I am not going to spend my time posting about what I don’t like/agree with when they’re not hurting me and I can spend my time on stuff I do like!
And like. I know. I KNOW a lot of these people are teenagers. And I struggle sometimes because “do not fight literal children” is a rule I try to live by lmao but I also really don’t like seeing people target and mock folks for harmless fun. (It’s on sight if a 25+ year old starts putting this shit in the tags tho. I know they’re out there.)
Still, it’s extremely weird because they always defend themselves with “it’s just a joke/it’s not that deep” or “oh my god no one is stopping you from liking x why are you so pressed 🙄 i can’t believe you’re letting my nasty opinions bother you just because i put them right where you can see them with the intent of insulting you.” 💀💀💀 Like what could possibly be the point of doing this if not to, at the very least, actively try to dissuade people you don’t like from engaging with the community? Obviously no one can stop me but if I know that there are dickbags out there who are going to vaguepost and make fun of me when I do, I don’t care how confident and thick skinned you are (and I am very,) it’s still going to sting!
People are not bothered because they’re disconnected from reality and think they’re really married to a pixel man, they’re upset because life is hard enough and you come into your hobby space to have a good time and then find lame ass idiots infesting it. I also think the whole “ohhh my god why are you so upset he’s/she’s not real!!” is a blatant attempt to discredit the hurt parties by once again insinuating that they are “crazy” which once again conveniently ignores multiple realities, chiefly that 1) most people are not upset by a simple opinion that their fave wouldn’t fuck them IRL, they are upset at the blatant meanness of the person making the accusations and 2) even if they are genuinely hurt by the thought because it’s a coping mechanism for them, why does that make it okay for you target them? What gives you the right to harass and mock people who are not bothering you? Do these people think they’re doing these folks a ‘favor’ by forcing them to contend with what they perceive to be some kind of delusion? Shut the hell up. Why do people decide it is their god given right to hold strangers on the internet accountable for psychological “problems” that they’ve completely made up.
Anyway SORRY I have a serious problem shutting the fuck up lol. I have never been good at phrasing my thoughts in a coherent way especially when I’m grumpy. I am very glad my little circle is full of awesome, open minded and levelheaded folks and not gatekeepers/weirdos (derogatory) who have decided that diversity of opinion in fandom is bad actually and that women and femmes specifically are enemy number one.

ramblings about writing longfic
So as you probably know by now I've been busy writing a chunky little fic over the summer. I wanted to look at the statistics of the process and ramble a little.
We got permission from Bob (@dresdenfilesbigbang) for a little vagueposting, although I don't think this post will even count because I'm not going to talk about the fic, I'm just going to use the process as an example to make a few points.
This time, I've used NaNoWriMo to track my word count, and that is the first thing. If you are motivated by tracking your word count, this is your reminder that besides being a yearly event, it is also a great tool that you can use all year around. Plus, you can create a project with any time length or word count, not just 50k in one month. I actually started off with 20k as the word count, since that was the minimum for the Big Bang, but ehm... well, it soon became clear that 20k is not going to be enough lol Point is, you can also update your goal as you go and it doesn't mess up anything in the slightest.
And I guess November is coming up if you want to do NaNo "proper". I did that once, and it was great to just see that I could. But honestly, 1600 words a day is way too much for me and I don't see the point. I would rather write 50k words over 3 months and push myself less. With the NaNo pace if you miss a day it really puts you behind, and that is just plain stressful.
Which brings me to my second point. If you look at this graph, your first thought might be "oh that looks so linear and disciplined" ...
(Well, okay your first thought may be "why the heck doesn't it start from zero?" I've written 5k before the start date, okay? It was a sort of "proof of concept" to see if this story was going to work out. And it's not like it was cheating, I've still written way too much lol)
And you know, you kind of would be right, I've neatly stayed above that dotted line, sure.
But then you look at my daily word count graph, and it looks like this:
(Again, ignore the anomaly of the first day please lol)
What I'm trying to say is this: if you write often enough, over a long enough period of time, it will look like consistent progress.
You don't have to write every day if it doesn't work for you. You really don't.
And I think it's nice to just pay attention to your process if you decide to start a bigger project because it will give you valuable info about how you work. And it will make writing the next longfic or bigger writing project easier.
My first multichapter work on AO3 is still unfinished at the 75%-85% point mark. I was posting it as I wrote and then I hit that point which now I know is critical for me. Now I know that when I'm 3/4 done with a fic of this size I usually want to go in and move things around, have a little crisis, and generally that I just go back and forth between writing and editing a lot. And because of that, posting as I write is a really bad idea for me.
So I guess the most crucial thing you can learn is how you write, and then everything will become a little easier.
Also, since this is a Big Bang fic with a deadline, it will drop all chapters at once which is something I haven't done before. Very exciting. (To me at least. To other people probably not, because of the tiny nature of the rarepair. But that never stopped me, has it?)
