Deep cut were invited to a masquerade party in inkopolis by the squid sisters.
Despite their dislike for anything fancy they decided to go, for maries sake.
they all get there in their best outfits with shiver in a black dress covered in a light blue sash and a decorative face covering. Frye with a black eye mask with decorations and a yellow sleeveless button top and glittered pants with diamond shape cutouts. And Big man with a Black sun hat, black bow tie with polka dots and a golden colored mask.
Once they got to the party it's like all of the musical artists are here, The Chirpy chips, Ink theory, even the latest H2Whoa. The group were in awe of the theme (not some fancy smancy stuff). The group spotted the whole squid beak including Dj Octavio. ever since he help neo agent 3 he has officially become a member and finally made peace with Cuttlefish. (it was all callie’s idea)
Then Big man saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He could believe it at first but it was him, Mr coco. He really couldn't believe it. How is Mr Coco here? Was all of the splatsville invited? Big man approached Mr Coco until he spotted him and his face lit up.
“Big man! it’s great to see you here” Mr coco” big man
“great to see you too” “but I gotta ask,how are you here?”
“Oh harmony was invited and chose me to be her plus one.” Mr coco answered.
“Wow…you must be special to her then”
Mr coco nodded in agreement. “so…how’s the holidays been treating ya” Big man asked. “oh it’s been great asides from the overwhelming amount of customers..w-well i mean that’s good business right?” Mr Cooc laughed. it’s like the ray could go on about his ramblings as if he was lost in his voice or..eyes.
Just then the regular music died down and the sound of creole filled the room. It was time for the main event. Every sea creature on the floor each got a partner to dance with. By instinct Big man turned to Mr coco as he held out his claw. 
“May I have this dance?” Mr Coco offered asides from all the extra shoppers this time around and 
Manta Ray's face was bright red as he was about to experience a magical moment with his lover.
“Yes you may.” Big man accepted
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Frye and Shiver were having a chat with the squid sisters until they noticed big man wasn't with them until they saw the ray dancing with the coconut crab
“there he is with that big crab again” the blue octoling uttered
“Come on shiver, let them have it, and besides it has romance all over it” frye gushed. 
“She’s right and besides it’s a little what you both need right now” Marie smirked while callie giggled. 
“Well we’re not the ones dancing-“ Shiver was pulled away by Frye into the dance floor.
“Screw it let’s Dance”
And thus the rest of this snowy night ended like a fairytale.

Welp, here we are, the third miraculous special, it has hyped as fuck, we didn’t see the alternative universe, we barely saw the characters everyone hyped, some people thought it was good, some people thought it was bad, but the thing everyone agreed on, was that it didn’t was as good as anyone thought it would be.
But no more talking, let’s do it, today I’ll be reviewing the miraculous special: Miraculous world Paris Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir
Next time chose a bigger name this ain't big enough-
We start the special with a parody of the intro theme, also they change the animation style, and I am obliged to say, it’s actually good, the lyrics are better than the original theme, because the original intro theme is, let’s say “way to happy” they put a mysterious melody above it in the first seconds and it surprisingly worked.
And the lyrics talk a lot more about change love and hope, WHICH IS WHAT THE ORIGINAL THEME SHOULD TALK ABOUT ISNTEAD OF SAYING “IT’S LADYBUG” FOR HALF OF THE DAMN SONG.
And the new 2D Animation style is extremely pretty, kinda remembers me of miraculous pv, and is another reminder that somethings are better in 2D.
So yeah, good job miraculous team, you did something good, let’s see if you can keep up
(spoiler it didn’t)
And after the lil intro we start, and I really like what they did here.
It starts with a glitchy news article saying that Ladybug and Chat Noir saved everyone again, Gabriel along with Alya asks if this will work, but then Nino shows up running and says that they are coming, and as the roof falls apart and AU Gabriel sends the Akuma (which here are called Kamiko) and kamikotizes Alya.
Betterfly : Ubiquity, I’m Bettefly, I’m giving you the power to connect to the parallel world we have located so we can find help, with this gift I’m exposing you to many parallels and placing a great burden in your shoulders, do you accept it for the greater good?
Alya (AU) : I do.
STOP TALKING THERE’S PEOPLE DYING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW AND YOU TWO ARE TALKING LIKE NOTHINGs HAPPENENING, YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THE 5 YEAR OLDS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE? WELL MAKE THE AU GABRIEL TELL LADYBUG ALL THAT, THEY ARE GONNA MEET UP LATER, WHY EXPLAIN THIS NOW? IT JUST MAKES THOSE TWO LOOKS LIKE MORONS
And because of that I am not calling you for your real names anymore,
Alya/ubiquity you now will be called Failyla and inability.
And you Gabriel/Betterfly, your name now will be Foolbriel and …. Actually, you super hero name is already stupid.
Anyways even being an old trope, I really like when movies start with the end of the world, its gives kinda a mysterious vibe, it also is a nice way to say that the villains are supper powerful and that the next move of the main character is crucial for the wellbeing of humanity, well that would be if FAILYA AND FOOLBRIEL STOPED TALKING.
Anyways inability transforms and we have this design.
Tumblr media
Wait, did I lose something?? Did I blink? What happened? Why is she a ghost now?! No really why doesn’t she has legs? Was the supposed to be a Manta ray or something? Ok if we take of the astonishing colors her design is pretty meh, she’s just a massive cape and a headset, really I rather her old design, yes it doesn’t have the pretty colors but it has more detail, and Alya had legs-
Well, I’ll give her a 6.2/10 it’s ok.
Shadybug and Claw Noir appear trying to be mysterious but they forgot the MLB team already leaked their designs a long time ago and the scene cuts for some well animated intro credits.
We than cut to our Gabriel, just to things don’t get confusing its before Gabriel transforming the miraculous into rings but after the cataclysm, and Gabriel being here now it’s really just for that, so we know which time period is it.
Adrien becomes angstdrien as he had just cataclysmed the guy that tried to kill Paris a billion times, so Plagg gives the worst advice I’ve seen in my life.
Adrien was sad because he was afraid to lose control of his power (which like no? he DID have control over his powers and it was Gabriel who chose to be cataclysmed, but later in season 5 we find out Ladybug told Chat Noir about Chat blanc off scream so I guess it makes sense?)
And Plagg trying to comfort him says “sometimes destroying is the path to build the new”
Adrien was scared to lose control of his powers and hurt people he loves and Plagg tells him that destroying Is the-
youtube
We then cut again to Marinette and Alya talking about monarch’s being extremely lucky as Felix got the miraculous in the same day he didn’t want to use his brain so just gave it away from praticaly free-
We also found out that kwamis can turn invisible that… umm kwamibuster? That whole episode wouldn’t have happened if kwamis could turn invisible? That’s why you should write these important details BEFORE publishing a story, but whatev.
I bet all my life savings that this is just here cause in a future episode the writers will pull up a plot armor in the size of my asshole so the heroes don’t get caught.
Alya starts to feel sick and inability comes out of here also making a portal so Betterfly can pass
Betterfly: forgive my intrusion young lady, please don’t be scared, my name is Betterfly, I need someone to lead me to the holders of the miraculous of the Ladybug and black cat.
Uhhhhh, why would she know that? Like Betterfly doesn’t know who she is, in his eyes she’s just a normal ass teenager, how the fuck would a normal ass teenager be able to lead someone to two superheroes? Does he think that the heroes would just leave a gigantic ass outdoor sayin “if someone want to find us we will be at the Eiffel tower from 8pm – 10pm” or something?
Marinette: Ladybug and Chat Noir? But I don’t know how to find them, I don’t know them. I’m just Marinette, a normal girl.
Betterfly: I beg you, please, they’re my last hope
WHY WOULD SHE KNOW? I think the writers really wanted to make Foolbriel stupid, not joking, Shadybug and Claw Noir were able to find his hiding spot, this may be a sign that just like the original Gabriel, he is also a moron.
Inability then gains the original Alya conscience and Betterfly explains that she connected with Alya to open a gate between the worlds.
And like that is some shit power, we saw hawk moth making people be able to pause time, freeze people, make hurricanes, Akumas that are extremely powerful and there’s literally no but to their powers, but with inability he just, couldn’t make both of em be able to stay in this dimension, I’m telling you HE IS A MORON.
For a moment Failya comes and says they are coming so Betterfly takes Marinette away.
And I think it’s just really funny how Betterfly says that they are merciless but then 5 seconds later Claw Noir sends Nino back to his dimension unharmed, like, just actions truly merciless bastards would have.
Shadybug then restrains Alya using Claw Noir’s tail, Claw Noir then cataclysms Marinette’s roof and well done Clawny, self sentered brats like Marinette don’t deserve to have a roof
Betterfly then releases… Failya from the power he gave her
Excuse me what? She has the ability to teleport thro dimensions, if she just controlled her power a little bit THAT’S LITTERALY TELEPORTATION, YOU SAID NO TO TELEPORTATION? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Also, the character that is in every poster barely appears.. Nice.
Alya then transforms back to normal and calls Marinette using her notebook.
While that Shittybug and clown Noir- I MEAN Shadybug and Claw Noir try to find a stupid moron, then Shadybug uses her lucky charm and gets a binoculus that can detect butterfly fare helms, and she already knows what they are and what they do so I guess Shadybug can choose what she gets, this or the writers forgot that Ladybug should find out what the object do.
Betterfly puts Marinette in the Eiffel tower just before his Kamiko appears.
when they showed that Akumas are now Kamikos I thought to myself, hey Akuma is “demon” in Japanese so maybe kamiko means “angel” that would be cool.
So I searched it up and kamiko means ….upper elementary school…
ANYWAYS- they made failya not be a part of this special cause they needed a way for the villains to found the heroes so Shady and Clawny followed Betterfly upper elementary school and found him, this is miraculous, everyone knew from the beginning that at some time the writers would pull out some bullshit to keep the plot going.
Well Claw Noir cataclysms part of the Eiffel tower so both of them fall and Betterfly hides under a wall
The villains say if he doesn’t come out to play, they’re going to destroy the city, so Betterfly comes out and starts fighting the two, also the villains give us some exposition that Betterfly stole the butterfly miraculous and really? WOW, HOW WERE THEY WERE ABLE TO LOSE A MIRACULOUS FOR THIS GUY, THIS GUY, WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR A SECURITY SISTEM? A WATERGUN?
Only now Marinette receives the call Alya gave her two hours ago.
Tikki: they’re the holders of the miraculous of the Ladybug and the black cat from one of the billions of parallel universes in existence.
Ok now we are going to play a new game. Which is called
GUESS WHICH MIDIA THIS WAS COPIED FROM?
a) The MCU
b) Undertale
c) Spiderverse
Also, if Tikki knew that, why didn’t she tell Betterfly he was carrying his last hope? Tikki is an asshole.
Marinette: PARALEL UNIVERSES? Why didn’t you tell me about this?
Oh Marinette, it’s because you live in a multiverse that wasn’t predetermined yet, so just like time travel, kwami powers, people, who gets good or not, and billions and billions of others things, it only became a thing now!
The villains also tell us that they work for “the supreme” and Betterfly stole the miraculous from him.
And we get explained why Shadybug and Claw Noir can use their powers multiple times without transforming back.
It’s because different from the original Ladybug and cat Noir those two are a bit older, making them being able to use it as many times as they want, this age change was foreshadowed in the beginning of the special when it was shown Nino Alya and max helped Betterfly, Betterfly can be an idiot but at least he isn’t irresponsible, he would never get teenagers to help him stop merciless tyrants.
Just kidding lol, actually the younger holders transform back cause using a miraculous doesn’t drain power only for the kwami but for the holder too, so the miraculous comes with a security system that makes them only be able to use it for a limited time because if they stay with it too much it makes the miraculous dangerous, but how shittybug and cloth Noir are using it for EViL they can go through this security system, but beware, as this has terrible consequences we never see.
how only Tikki gets tired after transforming if it drains energy from both of them? how Ladybug can spend how much time she wants with the costume if she doesn’t use the lucky charm as even if the doesn’t use lucky charm the miraculous is still draining her energy? Who knows who cares.
Marinette then transforms.
Betterfly says that it’s not too late, but this isn’t steven universe so SLAhadybug still try to grab his miraculous, but then Ladybug shows up.
Ladybug says that miraculous are supposed to be used for good but again, we are not in steven universe and no one change their mind that easily, so they start fighting.
While they fight SB (Shady bug) is able to throw LB (Ladybug) a wall, and as Betterfly see his last hope has been beated the shit out of he at least will help out the kid.
SB then uses her lucky charm and gets a car which she throws at the heroes.
THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY THE VILLAINS ARE TOO KIND.
IF THEY WERE REAL VILLAINS THEY WOULD GET SOMEONE ELSE’S CAR, WHERE’S THE PROPERTY DAMAGE DAMMIT? ALMOST EVERY VILLAIN IN THIS SHOW DESTROYS THE EIFEL TOWER, YOU ARE TRULY MERCYLESS? PROVE IT, SURPRISE ME.
Chat Noir comes out of nowhere to ruin my day as both Chat Noir and Claw Noir has the same first letters and I don’t know how to simplify their names without it getting confusing.
Chat and Claw start fighting but Chat grab Claw and threaten to cataclysm him, but Chat didn’t know that Claw, as a good emo is also depressed as fuck, so Claw grabs Chat’s hand and cataclysm himself and throws Chat into a random roof.
Betterfly then is able to free himself and LB.
LB: enough is enough! The miraculous are not created to cause harm!
Claw Noir: and what makes you so wideous cockrough? You are the superpower police?
LB: LUCKY CHARM
LB: A traffic cone?
oh she really IS the police huh?
As Claw Noir hates laws, he destroys LB’s trafficking cone, THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT, WITHOUT THE TRAFFIC CONE PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE ACIDENTS, EVIL STUFF, WELL DONE CLAW NOIR!
Chat shows up so LB tells they are not Akumatized and that BF (Betterfly) exists. SD then throws high hells at them? bro u a villain DO EVIL STUFF, GET A ROCKET LAUNCHER OR SOMETHING. YOU PARTHNER IS MUCH BETTER THAN YOU AT BEEING EVIL.
Tumblr media
Oh she actually got a rocket Laucher, STILL PATHETIC THOUGH
They fight a big more, and as BF can’t do much, he Kamikotizes Chat, and for the first time in 5 seasons, more than 100 episodes, we see how it’s like to be Akumatized.
As time looks like passes slower and his head is stuck in a void, Chat realizes he can’t move, but before he can panic….. a voice… a whisper…
“Celestic cat, I’m Betterfly”
With a voice as gentle as a million butterflies,
no.. NO… GET OUT OF MY HEAD
“do not worry as I’m not your enemy”
It feeds you with pretty lies
NO! I WON’T FALL FOR YOUR TRICKS
“I am not your enemy, I only want to trust you with the power to save us”
I can’t know if you’re telling the truth… I don’t even know you
“I only work for the greater good, just like you celestic cat”
“do you accept this gift I am offering you?”
……….I- I do.
Is this really how this scene plays out? No. I just wanted to set a darker tone before I show you the “celestic chat”
Tumblr media
The first time I watched this, I started stared laughing uncontrollably for a good minute, I didn’t knew what to say or what to think, as I was dying only one think was in my mind, what the fuck?-
WHO MADE THIS? I CAN’T BELIVE A HUMAN WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS, THEY DIDN’T TRY AT ALL, THEY JUST TOOK CAT BLANC AND PUTTED WINGS ON IT, THIS A FUCKING WATPAD FANFIC, IS LADYBUG GONNA ACTIVATE HER PTSD OF CHAT BLANC AND FALL ON CHAT’S ARMS TOO? Not only the whole concept of the episode is a big fanfic but now even the FUCKING CHARACTERS. I won’t even say anything about the character desing man, just fuck off.
celestial joke than grabs LB and BF and then flies aways, but SB uses lucky charm and gets sunglasses so she used her yoyo to hang on celestial joke’s tail, CJ (celestial joke) sees this and try to shake her off, considering that LB and BF are also there that’s a great idea because they deserve to fall off a 200 meters fall-
SB then trades the sunglasses for a fire Laucher but LB uses a thing called brain and just unbuttons Chat’s belt.
SB falls to her death as Claw Noir just watches it eating some popcorn, he then tries to grab SB miraculous but she wakes up and grab him.
Back to the morons, they go to the sewers cause why not? where CJ detransforms for some reason? Like he is a joke BUT WHAT THE FUCK? YOU CAN FLY! WHY WOULD YOU DETRASFORM?
Anyways Gabriel talks for the billionth time to his dead wife but he feels the best duo of the show fighting so its Akumatization time baby!
However, Claw still has the cataclysm so he cataclysms the Akuma and both calm down.
They then go back to Marinette’s broken room, Alya hides and they start looking for clues to why the portal was there of all places.
The scene then cuts to LB and Chat detrasforming and like. they both have the same identities even if in different worlds, they why don’t BF just tells them his identity? Ok I’ll give the benefit of the doubt, maybe he doesn’t know about monarch.
Anyways BF talks a bit about his world, there is an extremely powerful man who owns all the miraculous and so they set up a dictatorship where there’s nothing but hate. Ok they copied it from north Korea got it. Anyways he gave out some miraculous to powerful people who were loyal to him. But then Foolbriel steeled two miraculous to get Emely back, so to redeem himself he now is a good guy.
The scene cuts again to SB and Claw who are still in Marinette’s bedroom, SB finds Mari’s diary and start reading some of it, also discovering in the process that she is Ladybug, as she read more and more, she can’t help it but cry, but then she found out about what happens if someone has both the Ladybug and black cat miraculous.
Shadybug then uses her lucky charm and gets handcuffs, she than restrains Claw and take his miraculous, discovering who he was, and the Tumblr goes crazy once again as AU Adrien has a crush of AU Marinette.
Au Marinette reveals Plagg and Tikki and tries to use Gimmi but it glitches out, which makes her be thrown in the wall breaking the mirror
Sabrine: Marinette? Is everything all right?
Au Marinette: YEAH WHATEVER JUST, GET OF MY BACK
Sabrine: are you sure you’re ok sweetheart?
Au Marinette: YES, I’M OK I’M…. sorry mommy dear I just dropped my sawing machine, but it’s fine is just… slightly damaged
Sabrine: don’t worry sweetie we will take care of it! Broken things can always be fixed.
ok let’s say what it’s on everyone’s mind for a long time, we all would rather watch this other version of miraculous, the characters are more charismatic and realistic, the world seems more interesting, the world seems more interesting, there is an actual threat cause Foolbriel doesn’t have the power to fix everything, it is just way better than to watch two teenagers in a will they won’t they relationship for more than 100 episodes.
anyways au Marinette transforms back take off the handcuffs from au Adrien and gives back his miraculous, au Marinette starts crying and Claw tries to comfort her but it doesn’t work for obvious reasons.
Claw: how come the supreme never told us that merging our kwamis would grand us any wish we wanted?
Shady: For the same reason he never told us that using our powers would slowly destroy us.
Like, no? were 27 minutes in and you didn’t show any sign of being sick, like they now have some cracks in their necks but I think that if you’re getting every single inch of energy being drained out of your body it would do more than giving you some crack stickers.
Monarch shows up and the two try to attack him with no result cause of the determination miraculous, and also, I think it’s really funny cause, SD activates her lucky charm and gets a sword to attack him, but it doesn’t work cause he has the miraculous of determination, yet in the episode “determination” Manipula gets beaten cause of a chandelier, consistence.
Well, the duo team up with monarch and for some reason Alya starts filming it to show it to Marinette, like why? WHY WOULD SHE STOP WHAT SHE’S DOING TO SEE A VIDEO? IT’S NOT HARD TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD TEAM UP WITH MONARCH, YOU’LL JUST WASTING TIME.
Actually, I lied, SHE DIDN’T SENT THE VIDEO OR A MESSEGE, SHE CALLED HER INSTEAD, BECAUSE THAT WILL TOTALLY WORK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW?
Alya trying to compete who is the stupidest with Betterfly screams around for Ladybug and then shows the video, instead of you know, JUST TELLING HIM THE PLAN WHICH WOULD NOT WASTE SO MANY TIME.
Well, monarch’s plan is to make SD and Claw noir illusions to force the heroes to split up and then get em, LB however starts having a panic attack, but Chat comforts her because after season 4 the writers really need to shove up that he is not a sociopathic maniac.
Well LB makes a plan which is, they will get out of Paris so monarch wont mess with their plans, and Betterfly will Kamikotizes Alya in uniquity, so he will HIDE HIS IDENTIRY AND GIVE LADYBUG THE BUTTERFLY MIRACULOUS SO SHE CAN CREATE AN KAMIKO TO PROTECT THEM AND HIDE THE KAMIKO ELSEWHERE.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, if this show made the least bit of sense, BF would show his identity SO THEY CAN STOP ALL THE SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE OF PARIS.
Anyways they perform their little plan and we see Ladybug with both the butterfly and Ladybug
Tumblr media
Ok we have some weak material here.. first of, this shade of purple doesn't go along with ladybug's neon red, I don't know if it was Purposeful but this black detail around her neck highlights her boobs a lot
They didnt even change her mask, they put some purple highlights and that's it, it's just kinda sad, I saw 10 year olds drawing something better than this.
Ok positives, I think her gloves are extremamly pretty and complement well her desing, the ladybug things in her hair are cool I guess.
I am really trying but this desing is overall just lazy, just like most original designs of this special really, well 4.5/10 lady fly really? Her name is ladyfly? LADY FUCKING FLY?
obviously, monarch Dekamikotizes uniquity but that was part of LB’s plan as she and Chat plays to pretend they didn’t knew about the illusion stuff, so monarch creates a portal for the evil duo and Claw and Chat Shady and lady start fighting, monarch also fuses with the bee the rat and the rooster miraculous, turns himself invisible and tries to paralyze Chat and LB, because of the powers of the Kamiko instead of paralyzing the monarch copies turn to feathers, now the butterfly is more powerful then the bee? Ok then I guess.
Monarch undoes the clones and quickly realizes it’s a trap, LB then activates her lucky charm which is a mirror, SB then accidently reveals that she read Mari’s diary and that her life sucks, LB uses the ‘we are not so different’ but it obviously doesn’t work, and SB reveals that Chloe made her suffer every day until the supreme came, Astruc, Chloe is already out of the show, COULD YOU STOP DEMONIZING HER FOR 5 SECONDS? Also, that would not be enough to make someone into a villain, don’t get me wrong bullying is horrible, I myself was a victim of bullying and I know how bad it feels, but WHAT THE FUCK THE CHLOE OF THIS WORLD DID? DID SHE KILLED MARINETTE’S GRANDMA OR SOMETHING?
Well, Marinette detransforms thinking that somehow this will help,
The scene then cuts to Chat and Claw fighting and there’s a joke that they argue if cats like water, just quality comedy.
Well Claw reveals that he wants Chat’s miraculous to make a wish and bring his mom back which is better, “my mom died so now I’m evil” then “oh noo, Chloe ruined my favorite pants, now I’m willing to kill people”
Marinette: if you read my diary then you know, it’s not all that easy, everything often hangs by a thread, I too was very angry, I too was hurt, I too was scared, and I still struggle with it every day, you don’t need any magical jewel, powers didn’t change my life, I changed the way I saw myself, I decided to love myself, to love the world around me, and I decided I could fix what’s wrong with it, and I’m sure if you change the way you see yourself, and your world, you will be able to fix what’s wrong with it too, just like I do here every time, you can fix it all.
Ok I need to say, the way they copied steven universe so well surprised me, like you got the rushed redemption arc for someone who didn’t deserve, u got the main character completely ignoring the other character problems so they can say “don’t worry I can fix you” you got the main character thinking they struggles were similar even if one was extremely more serious than the other, it really looks like steven universe, I thought when Marinette stopped monologuing, she would start singing change.
Ok being serious now, this is just another exemple of how Marinette is an ashole, she acts like their problem is similar but it isn’t, au Marinette lives in a dictatorship, we see how their Paris is in the first seconds, and look how it is
Tumblr media
Red clouds, destruction, fear, the characters say multiple times, things in their dimension are not good
SB: IN THE WORLD THAT I’M FROM, THERE ARE NO AWESOME GIRL FRIENDS TO INSPIRE ME EVERYDAY, NO AMAZING BFF LET ALONE A CALM AND GENTLE MOTH OR A BOY FRIEND WHO DOSEN’T THINK I’M A TOTAL LOSER!
BF: Your world is so different is so beautiful, you help each other you are partners, in mine any form of neutral aid is a crime
SB: no wish will save us.
BF: in my world I’m hunted relentlessly, no one believes in heroes, everyone is afraid of the supreme
Shady bug lives in somethings that is almost a north Korea, she’s trying to escape from her world, so she can be happy, it’s not as simple as Marinette makes it to be, Shady never had someone to be there for her, that’s why when the supreme helped her she immediately started working for him, in her world “love” isn’t a thing, I hate how Marinette put Shady’s problems like it’s something not so hard to resolve and like she knows what real suffer means, “it’s not all that easy, everything often hangs by a thread, I too was very angry, I too was hurt” yes, Marinette’s life wasn’t perfect, but it was 100 times better than Shady’s, but the writers want to make Marinette be the great hero of everything, even in situations she can’t be, you know who would be better to help Shady? Failya, au Nino, au max, people who actually know what she’s going through, God even fucking Betterfly would be better at helping her then Marinette, but the writers instead just want to make her an amazing person, and really that’s one of the main causes of a bad redemption arc, the character who needs to be changed, gets changed by someone who can’t change them.
But after this bullshit we have Chat and Claw, which really, again is rushed and not deserved, but I think the writers did the best they could do.
Adrien: I know you, you know?
Claw: no, you don’t! don’t pretend to be me, or else you wouldn’t be friends with a cockroach, if you were me your mother would also be-
Adrien: she is…
Claw: what?..... if you knew about the wish, why haven’t you tried it?
Adrien: I won’t tell you that I never thought about it, of course I thought about it, but.. everything comes at a price, if my mother came back
Claw: OUR mother
Adrien: if we brough our mother back, someone else would have to lose theirs, and that I can’t wish on anyone.
Adrien: I managed to go on living, trying to be happy as she wanted me to, I have my friends to comfort me, I’m ok now, as well as I can be anyway, it must be painful for someone who doesn’t have close friends, or anyone to comfort them,
Claw: Someone, but me?
Adrien: Only you can decide not to be alone.
Adrien: I can tell you about my friends from this world, you should meet them in yours, you’ll probably get along, take Nino for example.
Claw: Nino? I don’t think he will wanna be buddies with me considering how I treated him.
Adrien: he’s the most understanding person I know, just apologize and invite him to the movies, his favorite film is called space mutants vs ghost shark.
Claw: ha it sounds terrible.
Adrien: let’s say it’s the movie with the most improbable storyline I’ve ever seen.
Claw: and yet… you’re really making me wanna watch it.
This is why, even if Chat Noir is a useless selfish crybaby, even if Adrien in season 4 was the biggest asshole I’ve ever seen, even if in season five he is horrible, I still don’t hate him, for these little moments, where he shows that he is a good person.
He says that he thought multiple times of using the wish to bring his mom back, but never did because he knew it would take someone else mom away, it makes him feel real, as he thought about it but he didn’t want to make someone suffer so he could be happy.
He says “I’m ok now, as well as I can be anyway” showing that he’s telling Claw that even if he’s able to move on, it will still hurt, not like Marinette who says that everything is gonna be fine just so Shady stop fighting, he is truly opening his heart with Claw.
When he says “it must be painful for someone who doesn’t have close friends, or anyone to comfort them” it shows that Adrien knows Claw has gone through worse than him, and yet he still wants to help the best he can.
He slowly tries talking that claw doesn’t need to be alone, changing his tone but not making it about himself, but when claw feels Nino could never forgive him, Adrien gives him some tips of what to do.
And for last, Adrien is someone that knows better than Marinette what their villain contra part is feeling, so he is capable of helping him, or at least trying.
That’s why I like Adrien, most of the time he’s on scream it feels like he’s not perfect but he’s trying to do good.
This scene alone, gives this character that has been nothing but an asshole, a moment so the audience remember what made them fall in love with him for the first time, the fact that he Is trying.
But then came re- creation and ruined this touching moment cause Emelie is alive, yeeey
Fuck you miraculous team.
Well SB uses a miraculous Shadybug fixing everything and apparently changing her custom as well.
Shadybug and Claw Noir change personalities completely cause, why make have the same personality but make it obvious they are trying to change. when you can just copy paste the personalities of the two main heroes in them amirite?
They also pick other names cause toxinelle and griffe Noire are kinda cringe.
Shadybug: hmm, I’ll call myself Ladybug, the best there is.
Yeah, writers make her give up her identity just to be like someone she admires instead of being her own person, WHAT A GREAT MESSENGE TO TEACH KIDS. FUCK YOU
Well Betterfly Kamikokitizes Alya, while that, monarch fuses with the rooster and for some reason he receives a feather and he has to write what power he wants? Ok, if you say that now the rooster powers activate like this who am I to question?
Monarch asks for having access for any other dimension, wait but wouldn’t that be a wish? Destruction says “if the user wanted a pair of socks, that would be a wish, but if the user wanted to knit a pair of socks, that would be an ability” that’s why you don’t let things so vague, PEOPLE WILL GET CONFUSED.
Well inability fells something is off and Ladybug realizes it is monarch, so bettefly dekamikokitizes Alya and Kamikokitizes Ladybug who becomes
Tumblr media
HATSU NIMIKU?
Well monarch goes to a universe where scarabella and shitty Noire are the heroes cause the miraculous animators don’t have enough budget to make more character models, so he tries
Tumblr media
Don’t play with my feelings like this… you son of a bitch.
Well, he also tries a manga one but then…
Tumblr media
Wait.. I thought that what was going on was that Gabriel was jumping from universe to universe and the original LB was following him, but apparently not? If lady noire is here that means all universes where a Marinette is a main hero, they become hatsu nimiku. But who would be Kamikotizing them? is the show trying to tell us that this au jumping betterfly shady and claw did happen to all universes? But that also must mean there are thousands of monarch’s jumping from universe to universe, and now he knows that he can jump through multiverses he can just wait for all betterflies to leave to their Aus and thousands of ladybugs and chat noirs will have to fight alternative universes monarchs, and because the ladybugs aren’t cosplaying hatsu nimiku anymore they won’t have the power to send them back, there will be thousands of monarchs running around and no one will be able to do anything as just MONARCH’S can teleport through dimensions, and if that happens the multiverse will become a fucking caos because the writers don’t see that this IS FUCKING STUPID.
Gabriel gives up and never tries this actually good idea ever again, and the 3 idiots fuck of to their dimensions, I’m done, I don’t wanna talk about this episode anymore I’M FUCKING DONE.
Ok, this special is bad but it doesn’t hurt me THAT much, the characters are morons, you don’t feel the villains are a threat, and the fact that they change their minds so fast doesn’t help, talking about the redemption arc, they are hiporitical saying that shady and claw can change because they suffered so they deserve to be forgiven but chloe, who's also a teenager who suffered, but didn't do not even close to what shady and claw must have done, is just a heartless monster, the special feels so out of place sometimes, like it should have been in an earlier season, the writers pull up the most nonsensical things just to keep the plot going, and characters that people hyped don’t have not nearly enough screentime, the special was supposed to be “what if the butterfly was used for good” but we don’t see much of betterfly using his powers, almost all the new hero designs are lazy, they just put more work on the ones they saw they could do merch of it( cause if you don't know there's already merch)
Tumblr media
overall, it isn’t painfully bad like most episodes of season 5 but it is not good either, you need to turn off your brain to enjoy it, and there would be no problem on it, cartons that you just turn off your brain and enjoy are not something bad, the thing is miraculous is trying to be a deep story, but it fails. Well, I’ll give the special a 6/10 whatev.
Thanks for reading until the end, I’ll see you in the next post.

Tales of Arcadia - A new beginning
CW: insects, Sam bullying Ben with invasive questions, amnesia
Previous | [Masterlist]
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Ben held on like a vice. It wasn't fair of Dad to leave this early in the morning, especially not without any prior warning.
"I'll be back in two days tops, so I need someone to keep the team in order," Shepard laughed and tried to pull away from the avid embrace, "Otherwise I come back and everything is upside-down."
His son was neither used to nor keen on being the man of the house, clinging to his waist without mercy. It just wasn't fair!
"Send someone else to pick the new tools up then."
"We need to get this done before another storm blows us away. And when you want something done right, you have to do it-"
"-yourself. I know, Dad!" Ben huffed sadly and hugged his dad extra tight before untangling himself, a queasy pull beneath his heart didn't like to be separated so promptly. If asked, Ben would certainly deny how he tried to squirm away from his old life just a few days ago. Especially now, when everything just felt like it belonged exactly where it stood.
"And who else is capable enough to show Sam around, hmm? They have been dying for a tour." Shepard ruffled Ben's hair one last time: "I'll be back in a heartbeat."
He promptly waved goodbye to anyone who was up and busy on the campground already. As everyone returned the gesture, Shepard smiled contently and slipped into the driver's side of Otis' battered pickup truck. He lowered his voice when beckoning Reuben closer through the open window.
"Sam might ask you plenty of questions and that's fine. I'm counting on it. They think we are a bit odd, so if you could make them familiar with our daily routine, I would be very pleased by that."
Ben didn't care to hide his annoyed scowl: "Okay, I guess."
"If they do act up or say anything you don't like, send them to Birdie. Worst case: she'll kick them out."
Without any further hurdles, Shepard once again excused himself under the promise to return swiftly. He didn't worry about whether Ben stayed in place - this tic had been thoroughly dealt with. His son waved after him for a while as the truck drove down the gravel path and up to the familiar country roads. 
The queasiness only grew.
--------
"Hi, Ben!"
His hike downhill came to a surprised halt as Ben's focus was caught on a familiar shape: Sam, copper hair just as radiant as the morning sunlight, leaned against the cabin.
This would certainly be interesting. To examine the prodigal son far away from any watchful eyes could be the breach they searched for; the quick chat with his father had turned out virtually worthless: "So, what do you want to show me?"
They were in a good mood, Ben noticed, like they didn't casually play him for a fool the other day. The resentment oozing from his every pore felt pathetically childish: it had been right that he came back to his family, so there was no real reason for his upset. Still, he kept a tasteful distance. 
"Well, what do you want to see?" Ben asked, curt and reserved, his stiff attitude not staying unnoticed. 
Sam sized him up, starting at the navy-blue sweater with a manta ray on the chest. God, this was way more atrocious than his clubbing outfit - no wonder they were able to spot him so quickly in a metropolis. Not planning on wasting any more thought on the yokel's new clothes, they instead forced a smile: "Let's start with everything."
Everything turned out to be a meadow, primarily, grass on grass corralled by mixed woodland and a small stream at the far end of it. A cluster of tepees occupied the largest chunk of the area: six of them forming a circle with one in the middle, safely guarded from all sides and the community tent at the northern fringe of it. For all Sam cared, this looked like any regular camping site.
Bullshit! There had to be more to this hippie utopia: the shrine of an ancient harvest god behind the washrooms, screams of occult choirs choked out by peaceful chirping. 
Ben led them further across the pasture towards the barn and a patch of short grass enclosed by wire fence where chickens, rabbits, and sheep happily grazed together. Picturesque scenery impressed Sam only on rare occasions.
"Why rabbits of all things?" they wondered instead, squinting into the distant fields to catch of any other possible livestock.
"Easy to breed, easy to - uhm...process, sadly."
"You eat these?!" They gawked in disbelief. Jeez, as long as they didn't plan on doing it to them...
"Sometimes, but mainly, they are our eager fluffy lawnmowers," Ben clarified and let his gaze wander across the landscape, "Otherwise, the tics would be all over us by now."
Animal cruelty as a lead story always brought in new listeners, but in the context of this alternative milieu, Sam doubted anybody's genuine outrage. No, they should rather uncover something solid.
The early birds that were already outside gave them friendly smiles and scurried across the lawn as being led by an invisible hand. Everyone had their place, helping wherever it was needed inside this manageable ecosystem: chatting, preparing food or folding laundry. 
Past the rustic warehouse and workshop located far away from the rest of the settlement and locked shut, a strange exception Sam noticed quickly, Ben described the most important workstations curtly before hurrying over to the next. At this pace, Sam was better off turning this interview into a speed date to keep their not at all enthusiastic guide alert. 
As they passed the gurgling stream per stone bridge to the other side, conifers stole nearly all the sunlight away. Standing proud above the dark grass that no rabbit had ever touched, only strings of dewdrops surrounded the pair now. 
Ben's first chore of the day approached. Sam could hear a sudden uproar in the air: the all-embracing buzz of a bee farm. Six white boxes were stacked randomly along the brookside, frantically dancing and working bees surrounded them, only interested in offering their lot.
The buzzing turned louder and louder with every step until Sam decided to stay comfortably distanced from them: "Don't you need like a suit? Or smoke, at least?" 
"No, they still remember me." Yearning settled deep in Ben's voice. So careful in handling the single wooden frames and their golden-brown honeycomb, the hive greeted him by crawling over his face and hands. None of them were ready to sacrifice their lives in the face of the new guests, the light hum remained peaceful.
It didn't surprise Sam that Shepard wanted him back: he acted like the perfect poster child for this whole charade. Yet, his circumstances were much more interesting than honeybees.
"Where's your mother? She doesn't seem to live here."
"That doesn't concern you," Ben murmured instantly. 
"Fair enough. Is Shepard Cohen your real father or is it like a spiritual commitment?" A Ben Cohen didn't exist in any register they searched in, neither did a Benjamin, Benson, Bennet or Benedict Cohen under the age of thirty. Whoever the man in front of them claimed to be, he definitely wasn't pleased by this question. 
If Sam didn't know him better, they'd nearly expect to earn a handful of bees to the face. Ben was furious: "You are so rude! I can't believe I wanted to sleep with somebody like you."
Sam snorted with laughter: "Okay, that was blunt. You didn't give me a satisfying answer, though."
He let his silence speak for itself, carefully taking the different frames out of the hive and inspecting them. No parasites were visible and out to disturb the little critters' home life; only a big one to his left.
Ben didn't know many journalists or whatever Sam tried to sell themself as, just how badly he wanted to end this conversation. Dad wouldn't mind him sharing, right? Ben did, though, too bad then that his opinion rarely mattered.
"-I would be very pleased with that." Fine, every trick to get them off his back.
"He didn't make me, if you have to know," he finally admitted and let his face scrunch up in painful acceptance, "But he is my dad. That's what matters."
Wow, that was one way to make them feel like a piece of shit. To upset the son of a man they wanted to win a favor from may turn out to be their worst gambit yet. Did Sam really want to risk their invite to dig out strangers' family drama, especially if they otherwise failed to expose anything noteworthy? Not today, at least.
"And all the honey goes to you guys?"
"Yeah, or we sell it with the comb. Very popular on the market this season," Ben started to calm down in the face of their sudden interest, "Oh look, here's the queen!"
Being less than a fan of insects, Sam took another step back: "So you're the bee guy, I figure."
"Not really. Ann used to organize the hives before she went back to Dallas to study environmental science. We all try our best to keep the colonies healthy, though I'm more charged with watching the kids. Play with them, keep them away from the workshop and river...the usual, y'know?"
A gust of wind soughed through the woods. 
"What's in the workshop?" Sam breathed, thinking of the remote shed at the end of the world.
With empty eyes, Ben slowly turned towards them, his voice low and dark: "That's where we keep the virgin sacrifices."
What the-
For nearly a whole second, he managed to hold a stern face only to immediately break out into laughter. Sam just rolled their eyes, unable to stop the grin tugging at the corners of their mouth: You little bastard...
It was a true shame, virgin sacrifices would make one hell of a headline though - that shit would sell like hot cakes.
"Take a wild guess," Ben scoffed and closed the hive shut, "Jigsaws, circular saws, carving tools, lacquer. Anything that should be kept far way from a set of five-year-olds. I mean, Shawn is twice their age and still needs supervision sometimes, it can get pretty hectic keeping them all in place."
At the prospect of juicy details, Sam found it impossible to resist digging deeper: "And still Lukas didn't like it here, huh. Why did he leave?"
"Who knows." Dad may be sound with him talking openly, but he would never backstab his brother like this. If Sam had a question for him, they had to ask on their own, thank you very much!
"I would've hoped you do," they teased further, to which Ben simply shrugged and continued with the check-up.
"It doesn't happen that people just walk out one day, so no one is sure about it."
"Ann did, though. Leave, I mean." 
"That's not the same, she still visits between semesters. Lukas, he...well, he has different necessities." Gradually, a strange pressure at the back of Ben's neck made itself notable - more than just the threat of a headache and these stupid questions certainly didn't help with it.
Nobody was allowed to know where Luke stayed, it was his wish and Ben had to respect this decision, no matter how abstruse it seemed. He could never forgive himself if he broke a promise he gave. And he didn't. He never would. 
The pressure crept behind his eyes now, pricking and prodding to stir something awake that was long gone. Something important… Or did he know? No way, Dad was just picking up new tools, it’s fine. Everything is fine.
"It looks like you do enjoy being home again." Sam casually pulled him back to the present, still nervous about the army of prickly animals all over his body.
"Of course!"
"Despite Shepard having to literally drag you out of a parking lot."
"You could've just asked me nicely to come along in the first place," Ben griped. The more he spoke, the clearer it became to Sam why he was acting so pissy, "It's better now, he knows what's best for me."
"And that being?" 
"Not staying out there."
Sam would be slightly more shocked by how content he was despite being ripped from the streets, if they didn't invest hours into research about the mindset of cult members. For them, it felt rather embarrassing how some people just let themselves be toyed with for a bit of fake love. 
"I thought you enjoyed the big-city life."
"Of course I did, it was great and loud and new and terrifying." Ben slowly placed the last honeycomb back into place. "It's good that I took a peek, but this place is where I belong."
"Yeah, sure." Someone drank a big gulp of the Kool-Aid, huh?
Sam pondered how guilty they had to feel for making it possible, though it didn't last long. Perhaps, in this special case, it was better this way. Maybe Ben just didn't know any better and as he was now, lost and found, he- Hold on.
"Lost and found" would make a sick title for the first episode, Sam had to jot it down immediately!
Finally ready to let the hives return to their work, Ben headed back to the shameless tourist: "I know that you think I'm stupid."
"Ben, come on-" There it was, the fishing for sympathy. Thank god Sam only had a short annual supply of comfort to give, and they certainly wouldn't waste on that guy.
"Luke's roommates thought so too," he explained blankly, "Because I never went to high school, or have a degree, or read Shakespeare, or know what a Kardashian is."
"Believe me, I'd be a lot happier if I didn't have to worry about half of that."
"You seem to prefer it to my home anyway. If you already have your mind made up, why waste your time? I'm not interested in changing your opinions." 
Dad was, even though he never thought twice about other people's impressions in the past. What about Sam was so special then?
"Hey, I'm just asking questions," Sam countered, "I think it's charming here. Different, sure, but that doesn't mean I think badly of your home. Or you guys' lifestyle for that matter; that's the reason I came here in the first place: to witness. May I write about what we talked about?" 
They already did, but it's the thought that counts.
"Write? Okay, why not." For all he cared, they could create a haiku of their dispute; as long as Dad gave the green light, it was fine. Suddenly, Ben's eyes opened wide, his face bright and rosy with embarrassment: "But not what I said about you, please! That I wanted…with you."
"Got it. So you don't want…with me anymore?" They impishly raised their eyebrow as if to mock his bygone flirting attempt.
Ben's tone was clear and sharp: "No, I don't." 
Ouch, wrong time for a tease. The atmosphere between them was tense enough and Ben didn't plan to become friends any time soon, that was for sure. In the end, Sam was here to investigate - not to hold hands.
The walk back to the office was silent and just as uneventful as before. Overseeing the settlement from the hilltop, now that the morning fog had cleared up, made Sam take a deep breath in defeat. This had to be the most boring cult ever documented, they hadn't even been offered any mind-altering drugs yet. How were they supposed to thrill an audience this way?
"Well then, we could visit the fields too if you like," Ben offered as he caught their frustrated mood, "but I'm afraid that's all there is to our home. Voilà, I guess."
Though it was all he had to offer, it didn't mean there weren't more secrets to reveal: "I think I'll see that for myself and stay a while longer. There's so much more to learn about."
"We have a tent for guests. Or volunteers, if you like to have company."
"I have my own place, thanks," Sam huffed and stepped closer towards him, hoping he would still grant them the honesty he promised before, "Ben, are there any - how should I word this - events that I can help with?"
"Events? Do you mean parties?" Excess similar to the way they had met each other was absolutely not the kind of get-together Birdie liked to arrange, especially when drugs were involved - no matter how legal or not. All members were responsible for supporting William and his friends from the streets, and that meant helping them to not endanger themselves. Any evening campfires were kept perfectly sober and peaceful.
"Yeah, or prayers. A mass, if you will." Sam was desperate for a spicy narrative: ritually sacrificed rabbits for fertile earth or a midwest Walpurgis Night. A single orgy at least!
Ben was lost in thought: "Uhm...sometimes, very early in the morning, we do yoga before breakfast."
"Naked?"
"What-"
"Naked yoga, right?"
"No, just yoga," Ben stretched both arms above his head and balanced his weight on one foot, "Like this. Gets you warmed up for the day."
Sam was officially done, there really was nothing to get out of this idiot. No listener in their right mind wanted to click on a podcast about hillbilly workouts.
"Thanks, I'd rather not sing Kumbaya with you guys. Not everyone can afford to frolic in a meadow the whole day," they sighed and wiped their hands on their jacket, "Who has time for an interview now?"
"Hmm," Ben let his gaze wander once again, "try Birdie. She's prepping lunch at this time of day. You need to work, though."
"Please, I'm working right now." And what did all this work get them? A semi-relevant report about ethical, organic slaughter was the most controversial topic they could eviscerate this circus for.
"Is that so?" he eyed them from the side, "Make it a bit more obvious, maybe someone will buy it then."
"Alright, got the message," Sam assuaged him, "I'll leave you alone. Thanks for the tour anyway."
With a firm bite on his tongue, Ben gave a nod and nothing more - staying kind could be an effort every so often. 
The frustrated visitor continued to stumble down the hill before shouting one last tip towards him: "You still owe me for the drinks, by the way!"
The quicker they got what they wanted, the faster they were able to let him and his family be at peace again. Another impression Ben shared with his father.

Tumblr media
Throwing this one up again now that I've discovered their tumblr! @sennamaticart (elvenking42 on AF) has the cutest little character, Tiffany the siren (in her world, a seal/manta ray splice) who commits a little arson in the name of the environment on the side- and when they mentioned they loved interaction with other OCs, I thought she'd be exactly the sort of girl Crow would enjoy having a chat (or a little flirt) with. I had an absolute blast with this one!

WHOLESOME facts and anecdotes about animal's concept of self and consciousness because there's ways to do that other than death:
1) Great Apes, Eurasian Magpies, Dolphins and Asian Elephants, Rays (yes like manta rays) , Cleaner Wrasse (a type of brightly colored ocean fish!) Ants, and Orcas have all been recorded passing the mirror test! meaning they can recognise themselves in mirrors or reflections.
The mirror test has limitations and has also been called into question - many animals, like dogs and casts, have been seen passing other self recognition tests like scent tests.
2) Dogs and Cats have both shown the ability to learn over 100 human words and communicate with them - you've probably seen some dogs and cats with the talking buttons and such.
3) Octopi have been observed solving complex puzzles and problems such as dismantling objects (like their tanks' filter!) and using rocks/other tools to crack open shellfish; they have also been observed to be able to recognise faces and memorise patterns.
you are so so cute for sending this and lifting the mood from animal suicide to animal fun facts i love you so much and thank you thank you thank you a million thank yous <3 <3 woag even ants are self-recognizing icons!! truly no creature is too small to Be and thrive............
also YES i've seen those dogs and cats with the buttons - i didn't know if it was all just an overblown marketing thing, but it's so cute and cool to see them communicate even through the ways they always have such as listening and learning tricks. they are so so smart and i luv them.....i think they communicate in a million ways really.....
the thing about ocotopi is that those bitches are the closest we'll ever get to in the foreseeable to witnessing real-life aliens and i absolutely adore them for it like - they could take over the seas for sure. incredibly intelligent and insanely cool to see how they work as living beings....maybe if aliens did come down they'd want to chat with them and not us honestly!

A Quick Summary
Deep Cut
Shiver Hohojiro/Agent 4(octoling, they/them): Takes the role of Callie/Agent 1. Uses a Splatana. Made Agent 4 of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the events of Octo Valley. Got captured and temporarily brainwashed during the events of Octo Canyon. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA
Frye Onaga/Agent 5(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Marie/Agent 2.. Uses a Stringer. Made Agent 5 of the Squidbeak Splatoon during the events of Octo Valley. Rescued Shiver/Agent 4 during the events of Octo Canyon with the help of Agent 6. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA
Big Man(species unknown, he/him): Introduced in Octo Valley. Helps Agents 3, 4, and 5 fight off the brainwashed Octarians in 1, and helps override the speakers of the Emperor during the fights against him in Splatoon 1 and 2. Ended up joining Deep Cut after the battle against the Emperor in 1. Hasn't actually shown his face yet, only speaking to the Agents over radio. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, LOCATION UNKNOWN
Off The Hook
Pearl Houzuki(octoling, she/her): Normal role. Uses an Inkbrush. Was formerly an Octoweapon with "sonic amplification powers" known as 17839 that escaped after the events of Octo Valley. Was found by Marina on Mount Nantai, and was taken in by a loving single father after a bit. Apparently has a “lab-bro” who is assumed to be a fellow Octoweapon. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, ON TOUR.
Marina Ida (inkling, she/her): Normal role. Uses a Splatling. Was a huge tech geek in her youth. Was a key helper in getting Pearl to open up to Inkling society. Still maintains the chat rooms for the Agents. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, ON TOUR.
Cephalopunks
Callie(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Shiver. Uses a Roller. Was given the title of Agent 1 by her grandfather in her youth, but has never acted against the brainwashed Octarians in combat. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't help them once they're free from the brainwashing. She's good friends with their band's head of security, after all...
Marie (inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Frye. Uses a Charger. Was given the title of Agent 2 by her grandfather, but like her cousin, prefers to focus on helping the formerly brainwashed rather than fighting the currently brainwashed. She's good at recognizing those with trauma, hence her concern for the third member of the Cephalopunks...
"Wasa-B" (octarian, he/him): Takes the role of Big Man. No one's ever seen what he looks like (save his bandmates) but Wasa-B is renowned for his impeccable skill at DJing. It's like he's been practicing for over half a century. Who knows? He apparently doesn't. Something messed with his memory recall, and every time he is asked about it, he goes silent before mumbling about "dark... can't think... clean...", and the other band members have to snap him out of his daze...
Non-Idols
Agent 3/Avery(inkling, he/him): Normal role. Non-verbal. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA
Senior Advisor Craig Cuttlefish(he/him): Normal role. He’s one of the most knowledgeable on the ongoing fight against the Octarian army, alongside Big Man. Though before the first fight against the Emperor in 1, he assumed Octavio was in control. He was wrong. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN
Emperor Henrique Sequiera of the Manta Clan(manta ray, he/him): Takes the role of DJ Octavio. Scarred, strong, and secretly unsure about his role as leader. Has stolen the Great Zapfish twice, and has gotten his butt kicked for it both times. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN
Fay Keon(presumed Octoling, they/them): Henrique’s seemingly loyal second in command. Seems to have something up their sleeve, but no one knows what they have planned. (Was secretly the one who created Pearl and her “lab-bro”.) Has no morals. CURRENT STATUS: UNKNOWN
Agent 6/Quinn(inkling, she/her): Takes the role of Agent 4. Has hyperlexia. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA (assists Neo 3)
Agent 8/DJ Dedf1sh/Ahato: Takes the role of Agent 8. Helped Craig Cuttlefish uncover the truth of the Deepsea Metro and defeat Commander Tartar. Still keeps in regular contact with Pearl and Marina. CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA (assists Neo 3)
Neo Agent 3/Alex(octoling, he/him and she/her): Normal role. Autistic. Knows the Salmonid language, and insists that Iggy (Little Buddy) is the heir to a Salmonid empire. (Since apparently no one else on the NSS knows the Salmonid language, they cannot confirm nor deny the truth of this.) CURRENT STATUS: ALIVE, IN ALTERNA

Manta-Bae Masterpost
Be that bae the manta way 🌊
Tumblr media
Manta-baes are species of anthropomorphic manta rays! They can prevail in both aquatic and terrestrial realms. They also have a tiny cute manta-baby form!!!
It’s an open species!!! Designs are very flexible!!! Make your own manta-baes and manta-babies!!!! Join the squadron!
MANTA FACT: A group of manta rays is called a squadron!
Tumblr media
Links
(click on underscored text!)
Read below the cut to see traits and examples!
Manta-Bae Rules — Be kind! Make a splash!
Manta-Bae FAQ — Common questions about the species are answered here!
F2U Bases / Manta Base Database [soon] — Don’t want to draw your manta-bae from scratch? Snag free bases here! (Picrew soon when I feel like it)

Tumblr media
• Basic Traits
Manta-Bae
This is the form a manta-bae could poof into once they mature into an adult! You can freely adopt ANY other trait into your manta-bae character beyond the specified basics below! Go crazy with markings and colors!
Tumblr media
Anatomy — Manta-baes stand upright on two legs, with a human-like body structure. Their heights ranges from 100-230cm tall! Their arms are imbued within their fins, resembling the wings of a manta ray. This unique feature of theirs is called a mantle. Their mantles usually start around the sides of their head to the upper sides of their neck and diverges from their humanoid forms around their shoulder blades and armpits. They have tails that begin at the end of their mantles. On top of that, they have cephalic fins around their face or mouth and can be upright or droop downwards. Their skin has a sleek, glistening texture to aid in swimming. Nubby feet are not necessary!
Coating — A coating of slime or mucus on their skin is optional. It makes them slippery and is especially convenient for manta-baes who find themselves spending more time underwater. A manta-bae’s slime coating is much more resistant to oils than real life manta rays, so it’s fine to be touched by anyone of any skin!
MANTA FACT: The mucus coating in real life manta rays protects them by repelling bacteria. Oils from your hand could harm this mucous coating and make the manta rays more susceptible to infections or the rapid peeling of skin. So, hands off the rays!
Manta-Baby
All manta-baes have a manta-baby form but not all manta-babies have a manta-bae form. This is the form manta-baes assume before maturity. Basically a mini manta-bae. When mature, they can choose to poof into this form whenever they feel like it. You can freely adopt ANY other trait into your manta-baby character beyond the specified basics below! Go crazy with markings and colors!
Tumblr media
Anatomy — Manta-babies, as the name suggests, is a manta-bae in baby form. I personally call it the pancake form. These forms resemble real-life manta rays but are more reminiscent of plushie manta rays than their actual living counterparts. Their disc length (this refers to the length between their mouth and the base of their tail) ranges from 10-30cm.
MANTA FACT: Rays in real life can range from 60cm (Mobula diabolis) to 700cm (Manta birostris) wide. Big girls!!!
Coating — All manta-babies possess a coating of slime in this form whether or not their manta-bae forms have it too or not.
Tumblr media
• Example Manta-Baes
I present to you, the first manta-bae and debatably the species’ mascot: Nautica (they/she)!
Tumblr media
By @anonymocha /// You can ask them silly questions or just ask stuff about the species here! I am well aware about how they look like a rabbid.
Lemon (they/them)
Tumblr media
By @skal98k /// “THEY ARE THERE” -Skal
Eva (she/her) :3
Tumblr media
By @anonymocha /// She is an established character who I turned into a manta-bae.
More will be added soon once I return to the sea to catch them :3

I’ve been obsessed with this lately, buuut how about Frye needing some comfort due to the public’s reaction to her debut. So, Shiver decides that comfort tums cuddles is the best way to remind her that she is loved
I’m absolutely obsessed with this idea! Sorry this fic took a bit. Wanted it to be as perfect as I could make it! Thanks for the ask! If you (or anyone) likes this fic, feel free to send in any prompts for me to write. I’ll do canon characters or my own ocs! (Also posted on AO3 -> link)
With a sigh, Frye looked down at her phone.
It had been a few days since the announcement of the first-ever Splatfest in Splatsville. The first time Deep Cut had debuted. The reactions to their debut were…mixed, to say the least. Everyone loved Big Man. The positivity overjoyed the manta ray. Shiver was also a fan favorite. She thrived from all the attention. Bragging about it all to everyone who listened. Frye though. It wasn’t all positive.
Sure some people liked her. Not many though. Most people mocked her. Saying that she was a worst version of Pearl. Her idol! The people saying that she was ugly, gross, and unattractive. It hurt.
Sighing, she laid down on the table she was at. One arm under her chin and another outstretched. Holding her phone. Behind her, her friends walked into the room. Both of them happily chatting away. Shiver saw her sadly looking at her phone. Whispering something to Big Man before approaching her.
“Hey, French Frye,” Shiver began. “How are you? You seem a bit down.”
“Oh, I’m okay,” Frye lied. “Just checking social media. Everyone seems hyped about our debut.”
Shiver grabbed the phone from Frye’s hand. A weak “hey!” left the inkling. The octoling was silent as she scrolled through Frye’s Twitter. Her expression slowly getting angrier and angrier. As angry as Shiver would show. She then snapped her fan open. Looking appalled at what she had seen.
“Frye, who…why…what! Why have these people, strangers, been saying these awful things about you?!”
Frye wanted to cry.
“I…I don’t know. Am I really that ugly?”
Shiver threw Frye’s phone towards Big Man. The manta caught it as he looked on. Worried.
“No! Hell no! You’re the most gorgeous person I’ve ever known!”
“Ay? Ay! (People are saying horrible things about Frye? Awful!)”
Shiver immediately hugged Frye. The poor inkling burying her face into Shiver.
“You two are too kind,” Frye said with a small sob. “I don’t deserve you both.”
“Don’t say that. Now, how to cheer you up? Hmmm…”
Shiver hummed. Trying to think of what to do. Her stomach then growled. Giving her an idea.
“You know what’s better than a hug like this? A hug from all around. In a slightly dark area where no one can judge you.”
Frye laughed.
“I know what you’re getting at. Fine, just eat me.”
“Oh, I hinted too hard huh? Now, squid form. Please.”
Big Man let out a chuckle before leaving. Placing Frye’s phone on a counter. The two cephalopods were left to their own devices.
With a sigh, Frye shifted into her squid form. Shiver still held her from their hug.
“You’re always adorable looking,” Shiver told Frye. “And tasty. How could anyone hate you?”
Frye laughed before patting Shiver’s hand.
“Says you. Now hurry up and eat me.”
Shiver smiled before bringing Frye to her mouth. The octoling opened it and brought Frye inside. With a gulp, the inkling made her way deeper inside her friend. A few more gulps followed and Frye was mostly inside Shiver’s throat. With a tilt back of her head, Shiver felt Frye slip down her throat. A gulp followed and the inkling began to make her way down to the octoling’s stomach.
It was slightly dark inside Shiver. The folds of flesh faintly glowing blue. Frye was soon dispensed into the octoling’s stomach. The organ clenched itself around Frye with a growl. It then relaxed. The only sound Frye could hear was gentle breathing and gurgles from the stomach. A faint beat of Shiver’s heart. Everything was slightly wet but the cool, blue glow was relaxing.
“Are you okay in there, French Frye?” Shiver asked her friend. “Hopefully it’s not too cramped in there.”
Frye shifted around a bit.
“I’m fine,” she responded. “It’s nice. Thank you by the way.”
Shiver chuckled warmly. Gently patting her slightly expanded stomach.
“Of course. Just let me know if you need anything. Hopefully, this is enough to show you how much we love and appreciate you.”
Frye smiled before relaxing against the walls of her best friend’s stomach. She sure felt very loved.
