is it really? an untitled trash update? almost a literal year later? chapter sixty-nine (69 haha nice) is real, y'all

first. so sorry. it's not like i haven't been writing. but looking back at the last time i updated (april 2023) holy fuck so much has happened. in my defense (which i know isn't needed) i was so anxious and stressed out from feb 2023-august 2023 i genuinely don't remember 90% of anything that happened to me. but hey. i'm doing better.

fuck thank you so much for waiting. for being patient. no one was mean to me when i felt it was kinda warranted lol (i don't know if i'm joking)

this is the final arc of untitled (okay there's currently 10 more chapters but we'll see). i'm just trying to get this bridgerton au (tsya) finished for At Least part 2 of the season 3 release, and wato is. chapters 24-32 are sO weLL developed but 19 is. it's coming. i'm also constantly terrified my academic peers are gonna find my fanfiction, which is a lotta emotions for me to consider.

again. thank you so much. i appreciate you a ton.

Spaghetti theory time:

The "Luka lying to Ladybug about her secret identity after he was so fired up in Truth only to lie to her in Wishmaker" salt has died down for the most part, but I would like to bring it back up.

I'm gonna do you all a favor and copypasta the transcript below, because I know nobody is going to rewatch the episode.

Marinette: I'm sorry about earlier. There were mosquitoes on the boat, I thought we needed some insect repellent but the drug store was closed so I had to- Luka: Shh, listen, the song of the water. If you listen carefully at this very spot under the bridge, you'll hear a melody. (They listen to the river and smile at each other.) You know, I never knew my father and my mom would never bring herself to tell me. So when I just couldn't deal with it all, I would take refuge here and the melody of the water would console me. What about you, Marinette? Where do you go when you disappear? Marinette: Uh- Luka: You tell me, I'll accept it. If you're still in love with Adrien, I'll understand. I won't be jealous you know. Marinette: That's not it, not at all. Luka: Whatever it is, I just want it to be the honest truth. Marinette: The truth, Luka… is the only thing I can't tell you.

Then we get shocked Luka. He get's akumatized/amokized, and the scene continues:

Shadow Moth: Truth, I am Shadow Moth. I'm giving you the power to force people to tell you their most sacred secrets. Luka: (struggling against it) Truth needs to be shared, not taken by force, Shadow Moth! Marinette: (shocked what he just said) Uh! Shadow Moth? No! Luka, please resist, I am so sorry! Shadow Moth: Why should you resist when she doesn't trust you? Luka: Marinette does trust me! Marinette: I do! Of course I do! Shadow Moth: If she trusted you, then she would tell you the truth! (Upon hearing this, Luka becomes shocked, so he kneels.) Accept my power and you will know everything. And all I ask of you in return is to expose Ladybug and Cat Noir's little secrets. Luka: (succumbing) Run, Marinette! 

...

Luka does NOT want to force the truth out of Marinette. He tells her to run! And it's very much implied it triggered a traumatic past when his mother wouldn't tell him who his father was. What if his mom used the exact phrasing of "The truth is the one thing I can't tell you," when things got bad? If there's one thing Miraculous is good at is shocking the audience with traumatic backstories. I have my own theories as to what Luka and Juleka's traumatic backstories are... And are we really going to victim blame Luka for not being able to resist, especially when resisting Gabemoth and breaking akumatization was not actually known to be something that can be done at this point? Onto Wishmaker:

Lots of people are upset that Luka lied to Marinette at the end of Wishmaker with regards to hers and Chat's secret identities. They want Marinette to be angry with him, and for Luka to face consequences. Lying is supposed to be bad, isn't it? And Luka got akumatized into a villain who was dead set on finding the Truth, and he just lied to her about it. Inexcusable! Which is a valid interpretation if you take it at face value.

Now let's fast forward to Migration, and a little theory I've had since the episode aired: Secret identities and masks are a metaphor for being queer. Let me explain the metaphor in more detail: by rewinding back to Wishmaker and the metaphor presented to us then.

In Wishmaker, child Alec was bullied for his big hair, which he was very proud of. So he shaved it all off to fit in with what society wanted him to be. His akumatized form had a bald cap, and in the end Alec decides to "live his truth," (Astruc's words not mine), and essentially wear a big wig and become a drag queen. Iconic.

Oh yeah, and his nightmare in the season 5 finale was his father shaving off his hair.

Gonna have to link this shitpost here, just for an interesting comparison.

(It's interesting to note that both Griffe Noire and alternate Adrien have partially shaved heads, and should be included closer to the bald end of the chart in the shitpost)

Anyway, it's a bit of an unwritten rule that you don't out another person, even if you know they are queer. You have to wait for them to come to you with this reveal. It's sensitive information, and could potentially be extremely dangerous for the person being outed. A similar parallel to being a superhero with a secret identity.

Using this logic, it's not surprising the animators made Chat surprised when Luka detransformed in front of him in Ephemeral even tho he had a front row seat to Luka in Miracle Queen.

Onto the next scene of interest:

Marinette: If I tell you, things will never be the same between us again. (shakes her head) It'll mess up everything, maybe even destroy it. Alya:(voice breaking) Marinette, I'm your very best friend. Marinette: And I… I'm Ladybug.

I was actually shocked with this scene back the first time I watched it. Yes, the reveal, but also how everything in it is presented. To the dialogue, to Marinette's reasonings and how it'll mess up everything between the girls, and how everything will change and be destroyed, to Alya's oddly somber reaction to finding out her favorite superhero is her best friend, and then the subsequent hug.

It's framed as a coming out scene.

So let's circle back to Luka lying to Ladybug back in Wishmaker, and keeping that secret until Migration. His choices there make a whole lot more sense with a queer lens.

Don't believe me? Remember, Migration (the episode where Luka's lies and secrets are brought to light), is the episode that Luka shoves Adrien in a closet and he falls out of the closet as Chat Noir.

Those bedroom eyes at Luka sure do make a whole lot more sense here.

I've been a Luka stan for about a year now, and while I admit there are stereotypes that goes with guitar players (and they CAN be true!)

I would like to extend the fact that he also knows how to play classical violin, among other stringed instruments, and was also raised by a musician, his mother Anarka.

Luka MOST DEFINITELY knows how to read sheet music, and knows music theory like the back of his hand.

Nobody's trash talking Adrien about his music knowledge because he's been studying classical piano, but why not classical violin Luka? Is it because he's a fork in the road of the Love Square?

Sorry, he's not a stereotype of a fuckboy guitarist, but instead just a talented guy with an atlas complex, but I digress.

SOMEONE TALK TO ME ABOUT LUKADRIEN

I WANNA SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN ABOUT LUKADRIEN

I WANNA TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE AND FLUFFY

I wanna talk about how they're perfect for each other and they're so fucking cute and they are the true yin and Yang and they deserve THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD AND TO BE CANON

I WANT SAMG/THOMAS/WHOMEVER TO GIVE ME LUKADRIEN COZ FUCK MARINETTE

but not actually coz I love marinette. I love adorable little marinette, but she's just not ready for a relationship

a relationship wouldn't be good for her at this stage, coz she has SO much on her plate and so many responsibilities and a relationship is just not what she deserves rn

what she deserves is a good fucking friend group

a good circle of her girls who have her back and actually FUCKING BELIEVE HER OVER LIARS and she deserves their support and them to have her back

I'm sick of the pressure she feels to get a boyfriend and the pressure that her friends and classmates put on her to get a boyfriend

GIRL NEEDS TO FOCUS ON HERSELF !! PLEASE !!

I just want a show that has the main character to have a supporting circle of friends and to be able to rely on them, a group of crime fighting girls (magical girl anime) with these two dumb boys (Luka and Adrien) in the background being all gay for each other and just not relevant for the plot but just there coz we don't get enough gay representation

and coz they all have miraculouses (miraculi?) now !!! marinette trusts her girls with her identity!! and they're just so happy and silly !! and they have her back !! and she just focuses on herself rather than a boy and there's no boy problems coz I just want an MC girl that doesn't feel pressure to get a bf !!

WHY CAN'T I HAVE A SHOW WHERE IT'S A GROUP OF GIRLS FIGHTING CRIME TOGETHER WITH NO BOY PROBLEMS AND THERE'S BOYS KISSING AS THE SUBPLOT !?

WHY CAN'T WE STOP THIS PROPAGANDA THAT A NORMAL GIRL HAS BOY PROBLEMS

WHY CAN'T SHE JUST HAVE HER GIRLS WHO HAVE HER BACK AND ARE GAY FOR HER (but not actually)

and then !! maybe, in the future, when she's got her life on track and her girls are just fighting crime with her and they're all happy and healthy (coz really, how long can u drag on this chaos ??) maybe then !! adrien realises he likes her too and she realises she actually likes luka too AND THEN !! POLY LUKADRIENETTE !?

why can't lukadrienette be endgame ??? they're literally perfect. the perfect balance.

Lukadrien Headcanons

So I’m in the middle of a different fandom fic and cannot find the motivation to write them one so I shall write hc instead

- Luka is an insomniac and on the rare occasions he can sleep w/out meds are because Adrien is there

- Adrien likes to come through Luka’s window

- Luka has a collection of things that Adrien isn’t allowed to have at his house in a bin for adrien when he wants them. Basically consists of more junk food then at movie theaters and movies he wasn’t allowed to see so he watched them w luka

- Luka is top 

- Adrien is demi

- they have to hide their relationship because of Adriens father 

- Natalie knows (found out herself) but hasnt brought it up to him or his father and tries to get them more free time so Adrien can spend time with his boyfriend

- Luka likes to take Adrien to cool places and landmarks on his bike because he knows he doesn’t get out much

- Luka paints adriens nails all the time. it started w more natural colors to blend but one day adrien was like fuck it and had him paint them black. his father wouldn’t let him out of the house until he took it off

- Luka pierces his ears all the time. Like All. The. Time. hes going to run out of ear. Its a coping mechanism for him to try and feel something. Also he thinks it makes him look bad ass

- Luka has a tongue piercing (that one he got professionally done) and adrien loves it. 

- Adrien cannot take a compliment hes too used to them being to get something from him or because of his fans so when luka tells him smth like “you looks so beautiful in my shirt” he doesn’t believe him and asks if he wants anything. As soon as he learns that people give compliments just to make other feel good and starts taking them as smth genuine, he gets all flustered and blushy

- Adrien is good at makeup. like covering up eye bags or hickeys which becomes more and more helpful as their relationship developes 

- Adrien is touch starved and relies on physical contact. Luka is determined to give him as much physical affection as he needs

- when they are together they are usually touching. Like holding hands/arms. 

- Luka can put his chin on top of adriens head if he tries really hard and uses that to his advantage 

- he loves to come up from behind and wrap his arms around Adrien’s waist. 

- can’t be big on pda due their secret relationship but always take up the opportunity when they can

- All their friends know and support them 

- Adrien loves to wear luka’s clothes as often as he can. Hes not really allowed to shop for himself as to keep up the Agreste reputation so when he sees something he really likes he takes it and wears it just until it stops smelling like Luka something he notices and finds adorable until his favorite shirt is missing for a whole week

- Luka taught adrien how to apply eyeliner and he got it on his first try. Luka nearly went into cardiac arrest because adrien with eyeliner is HOT

- although they are naturally fit (fuck genetics) they like to work out together to keep motivated. usually ends in making out and showering together 

- at some point adrien decided he needed to have his ears pierced and went straight to Luka. Who was skeptical at first but did it anyway (can’t say no to adrien begging and he knows from experience) They bought him clear earrings to wear in his house so they could heal properly and not cause too much attention.

- Adrien loves to match earrings w luka just becuase. their favorites are mini thick black hoops 

- Luka knows hes chat noir not just from wishmaker but because adrien tells him

- Fights are very rare and when they happen Luka has to convince adrien he isn’t going to break up with him over a petty argument. Screw Gabriel Agreste for killings his sons self esteem

- the amount of times Adrien has had to talk luka out of drop kicking his father off the Eiffel Tower can no longer be counted

- Luka is the biggest tease in Paris and adrien both loves and hates it

-  Luka likes to rewrite songs into mlm versions of said songs and sing them for adrien who thinks its the cutest thing ever

- Luka calls adrien all sorts of pet names, one of his favorites being “love”

- Adrien makes as many puns as pawsible and luka laughs at all of them. Every single one. no matter how unfunny it was

- Luka is very sound sensative due to music so adrien buys him sound proof headphones so his brain can focus

- Adrien loves to buy luka things. it took Luka a while to actually accept the little gifts but he realized that there was no point trying to stop adrien was useless

- Adrien taught luka how to ballroom dance one summer night on the deck of Liberty. it was the first time he actually enjoyed doing it. Luka is a fast learned so he picked it up quickly so they danced for hours. Juleka was going up to tell them to stfu and go to bed until she saw what they were doing and just let them be

- As soon as Luka found out Adrien never learned how to drive (because his father said he would never need to) he made it his mission to teach him. He can’t be a (french equivalent of a junior in high school) and not at least have and idea of know how to drive. Only problem, he only owns a motorcycle and that would not do. They ended up borrowing  Nino’s Honda Civic, who swears if they crash it they have to buy him a brand new (and cooler) car. Fortunately Adrien is a fast learner and gets his official license only a few months after (this is prolly wrong I have no idea how it works in France). In those months, Luka and Adrien work their asses off at jobs around the city to save up for a car. They end up not making enough but Natalie donates some (a lot) of money to the cause and takes him to legally buy the car. Gabe finds out and has a HEART ATTACK when he sees where all that money went but Natalie says its her car and he (literal dumbass) buys it and lets it go

- Adrien sneaks out as chat noir to see Luka all the time. usually at night 

- Luka once walked in on Adrien doing a face mask. Laughed his ass off about it bc the way Adrien tied his hair up was both adorable and hilarious, this lead to him getting hit in the head with a loofa until he agreed to do one (which he would have anyway but it was cute to see adrien’s reaction) 

- luka is taller so his clothes are bigger and adrien loves wearing them, usually takes them home and sleeps in them whenever he can

I did not intend for this to take so goddamn long lmao

"But that ship is never going to be canon why would you ship it?" Oh sorry, it's not my fault that I make better decisions than canon🤷🏻‍♀️

[dabiismainhoe]

Nino for kpp game if you’re still on it!

The KPP ask game

Nino is a character who just feels things so strongly. He's such a good big bro. He's such a reliable boyfriend. He's the one Miraculous character who loves Adrien the most unconditionally. I don't care what character assassination The New Adventures of Ladybug commits, I will not forget who Nino used to be, how important to Adrien he used to be and how he deserved better than to be sidelined so that the writers could make Adrien be codependent with Marinette.

Nino had faith in Adrien when no one else did. Nino went rogue as an Akuma because he was too focused on Adrien to focus on the Miraculous. Nino was a total Cat Noir fanboy (most likely because of how similar he thought Cat Noir was to Adrien). Nino was the first character to love Adrien openly. NINO IS ADRIEN'S SCREENSAVER.

[dabiismainhoe]

hey I figure that you’re probably tired of talking about the Sentimonster nonsense but I genuinely still can’t stand that it’s an actual thing. The wildest thing about it is that I JOINED the fandom because of the Sentimonster theory, actually got excited for it and looked forward to hints, not believing the skeptics or the salters bc it didn’t seem like such a big deal—that is until I saw with my own eyes how SO MANY FANS said with their whole chest that, in “Ephemeral” Adrien HAD to be a Sentimonster or there was no other “sympathetic explanation” for why he didn’t de-akumatize himself or fight off Gabriel.

Seeing the victim blaming in real time was such a punch in the gut—and then they just kept on coming!! It finally hit me how damaging the entire thing because for the show as a whole. If even regular fans that weren’t even known for salting could so willingly disregard and ignore genuine abuse coping mechanisms in favor of magical BS… it was such a dark time. Abuse Apologism and victim blaming in a whole package

Sometimes, when I write about Miraculous, I pretend I'm writing about a show that only had three seasons. That's what the "zagulous fandom" tag is for; it's for posts that are about the parts of Miraculous that had Zag's executive control keeping Astruc in check. I also kinda accepted long ago that my blog's kind of a support blog for people who are against the Sentihuman concept.

When I first heard of the expanded Sentimonster theory, the one that went "all the rich kids are Sentimonsters", I instantly went: "You do realize how making victims of child abuse nonhumans with questionable rights minimizes their victimhood and excuses their abusers, right?" people told me I was making stuff up and whoopsie doo, the writers did exactly that.

Neither Gabriel nor Tomoe faced any consequences for abusing Adrien and Kagami because, after all, since they're Sentimonsters, the real abuse was that they didn't have their Amoks so giving them their Amoks resolves all their problems. The only abusive parent who gets acknowledged as such is Félix's dad, who is dead by the time we hear about any of this, because we can't have abusive parents face consequences for their actions because that might upset people or whatever excuses Astruc's giving for Gabriel's vindication now.

This also minimises all the affects of the abuse on the kids, since they can be handwaved away with: "They were just programmed that way." Kagami's bad social skills aren't because her mother isolated her, it's because she forgot to program Kagami with those skills. Félix's villainous behavior isn't because his mother is overly permissive with him, he was just programmed that way (by the eeeeevil Colt). Adrien isn't a people pleaser because he's repeating his abuse coping mechanisms with his overly controlling girlfriend to keep her happy the same way he did to his overly controlling father, he was just programmed to be the perfect doting son and boyfriend.

You'll notice how neatly this ties into the crew denying that Chloé was abused in any way ever by her clearly abusive mother. Chloé wasn't made into a Sentimonster, so we can't have her bad coping with her abuse be excused by "Sentimonster programming", so now the writers are just gaslighting the audience and saying: "Chloé wasn't mistreated by her parents which caused her to act to out to get attention (which she literally stated to be her motive in season 3), in fact, she's the one who's been terrorizing her poor, innocent father and he needs to be protected from this naturally occuring evil hellspawn."

All child abuse in this show gets excused.

Of course, now the writers have an added reason to make sure Adrien's abuse gets excused in particular: because they made Marinette benefit from it. As I said, Adrien is repeating abuse coping mechanisms learned from dealing with his father to keep Marinette happy. He's always prioritizing her feelings and never brings up his own problems, and this is good for Marinette, because she can just enjoy having a perfect boyfriend who caters to her every need and doesn't have problems of his own or with the ways she treats him (for all she knows). She's even maintaining this status quo by lying about Gabriel to Adrien, so Adrien won't get upset (and have emotional needs that she would need to help him with). Either we have to excuse Adrien's abuse, or we have to admit Marinette is benefitting from the fact that Adrien was abused, and even taking advantage with the way she makes no effort to improve their communication on her end, preferring to spy on Adrien and lie to him instead of just talking to him like an equal.

The show writers are also allergic to following through on their creative decisions, is what I think. They put all these different victims of child abuse and neglect in the show, and then dehumanized these children in different ways so that they wouldn't actually need to say anything about that abuse they wrote in and they can instead pretend it was never there. This is why I also think that, no matter how much the show's defenders insist the story isn't over yet, we will never be getting a proper resolution to the Sentinonsense.

Idk if someone asked this before but lovesquare for ask game or lukadrien

Relationship scale ask game

Lovesquare got covered here

This relationship has been on a steady downward slide since the retool of the show. During the first few seasons, I was gobbling up every tiny interaction these two were allowed to have. It was such fun. Luka saw Adrien trip over an instrument and then proceed to geek out over it and his reaction was: "Join my punk band."

Meanwhile, Adrien is the only one who seems to actually see Luka outside of his family. 'Desperada' really drove home how much Luka gets taken for granted and that episode has Adrien singing his praises and seeing him as someone amazing. They couldn't be allowed to be friends because their relationship had the potential to hit Adrino's level.

Then 'Wishmaker' aired and Luka started keeping things from Adrien, which made it a bit less fun, but it still wasn't a deal-breaker.

Then 'Ephemeral' happened and Luka outright conspired with Marinette against Adrien. The way he works against Adrien to benefit Marinette is pretty Nathalie levels of fucked up, so this relationship falls down to about that level after that.

[dabiismainhoe]

Both Marinette and Adrien are motivated by the idea of a grand romance but like

Marinette considers what the other person might want

Adrien is just satisfied with getting what he wants
