Daminette AU (Part 1)

#There was no crushes in either facet of the lovesquare. Marinette and Adrien were simply BFFs as were LB and CN, though CN did flirt - it was always jokingly and LB knew it. Due to Marinette and Adrien being close, the other girls in her class thought she had a crush on him and whenever she refuted that statement, she was said to be in denial.

"Aaaaah Tikki, I'm so tired!" The seventeen year old flung herself on her bed. It had been another long tiring day, even moreso as Hawkmoth had been feeling particularly lively today and had sent three akumas in the same day. 

She didn't know if this was because he thought her tiredness would slow her down or just cloud her mind to make her sloppy but it thankfully didn't work. 

At times like these, she missed the good old days when she could count on Chat. Now thinking of him was just a nightmare. 

He had changed after about two years in their partnership. He started showing up late in fights, getting taken out almost immediately when he did and whenever she talked about the master he became agitated and went on a rant over how it wasn't fair that they didn't trust him. 

 The earlier episode of Syren came to mind and she shuddered. 

To this day, Syren still plagued her, it was one of the most dangerous akumas which had existed. So many had died…

That had only been the start of other akuma attacks as terrible or worse. Medusa and Queen of Hearts came to mind, as did Mourning Star. She'd rather not think about Arachne. She still woke up with nightmares of them especially of the giant spider that they couldn't even look at because it was so horrifying, weaving her web all over Paris, picking up every move of theirs and trapping any living creature in her web as if they were nothing other than prey and spitting acid before devouring the still screaming chil-

Nope! She couldn't go down that hole right now. She wouldn't be able to handle another panic attack or dissociative episode at this moment.

Chat - she was thinking about Chat. 

Chat had seemed off to her. His behavior had taken a turn for the worse when it concerned her yes. He had become  possessive, could barely stand their other teammates, was always on edge when she called in someone else. 

It had come to a stop one night on patrol. 

She had sat him down for a long discussion but it didn't go the way she expected. Both of them returned unsatisfied at home that night.

She knew she wasn't going to be able to sleep after their...discussion so she had started designing. It was a sure way of  keeping her mind distracted.

It wasn't a long time after that she heard a knock on her trap door which had derailed into a series of unexpected events.

"Plagg?" Tikki shrieked at Chat Noir. Why her Kwami had chosen to reveal herself too was still a mystery to her but it seemed like something was really wrong with Chat Noir. 

His transformation fell leaving Adrien Agreste on floor, looking dazed. 

Now, she had already figured out his identity a while back but didn't say anything - plausible deniability and all that shtick.

The little black god seemed exhausted as she brought a hand up for him to sit on. "I forcibly took over his transformation to bring him here." Was his explanation. "You're right Spots, there's something wrong with him but it's not what you think." 

And then he explained about the tainted magic that lingered about the Agreste household making him mentally sick. 

Gabriel Agreste was Hawkmoth, he revealed, and Nathalie was Mayura. She really would have liked to be more surprised but the suspicions about him never really left her mind. 

The most shocking part of that night however had to be when Plagg explained why Adrien was being affected.

"In every generation, Tikki and I have a chosen. Our souls resonate perfectly. This time...this time something is different. Adrien could have been Chat Noir if there wasn't already someone who's soul resonated better with mine."

She frowned. "Who is it? Why didn't Master Fu send you to them instead?"

He stared right in her eyes when he spoke those words. "It's you."

She was the soul resonance of both the creation and destruction Kwami in this generation. 

Tikki and Plagg liked to say that she was their daughter. Sometimes she wondered if it really was a joke. They certainly treated her like their offspring at times. 

Anyways, Adrien while he had been a good candidate still couldn't bear the power of chaos. It left him vulnerable to the foul, perverted magic of his father, only made worse by the misuse of miraculous in that house and the kwami's broken comrade.

"He won't last there much longer." Plagg had warned them. "I brought him here because Tikki's magic has settled in this place. It will protect him."

That had lead to another difficult conversation between Adrien and Marinette as soon as he woke up.

There had been crying and hugs involved.

After a long time, Adrien's own actions seemed clear to him. He apologized to her for how he behaved as Chat Noir and for letting her down as civilians. 

They talked about the fact that his father had ordered him to make Mlle. Rossi happy at all costs and how despite him confiding that Lila was a liar and she always made him uncomfortable his father had not budged on his decision. That had been the breaking point. 

They talked almost all night and Marinette convinced him that Hawkmoth or not, the environment at his home was toxic and that he needed to leave. 

But also, they rejoiced that it was each other that had been their partner all this time. She was the one who was his best friends in both of his lives and he couldn't be happier. 

At that moment, they could see a bronze string binding both of their ankles and a soulmate tattoo of a a very intricate arrow passing through a crescent moon.

Adrien had burst out crying at that, throwing himself at her to hug her. He didn't let go until next morning when he had to go home and Marinette was content just being there for him, holding him and making sure he knew that there was someone who loved him for himself.

Soulmates had existed in this world for as long as people could remember. There were all kinds of soulbonds ranging from a single tattoo to a telepathic connection. The connections were not always romantic, like theirs for instance was a sibling soulbond. 

Most of the time however, romantic soulbonds had to do with a way to connect them, for them to be able to communicate.

Every person when they found their soulmate, would have a string that bound them. Romantic soulmates' string s would appear instantly while platonic soulmates appear only when the soulmates are ready, when their bond had been forged.

Romantic strings were red and turned gold as the relationship grew.

Strings of soulmates who considered each other siblings were silver. 

And lastly, best friends and perfect teams were bronze. 

She hadn't seen a string of hers in so long, as far as anyone knew, she didn't have a string at all - which was something Lila and the class recently, hadn't failed to exploit but she now understood why, none of them had really been her friends.

Do you try to preserve animal species?

The extinction of animals is a natural process of the evolution and over the history has been produced massive extinctions in determining eras where the change weather are usually. Nowadays à lot of species are extincting faster than years ago the man is the only responsable of this extinctions. How can we prevent the extinction of animals? there are many endangered animals that are at risk of extinction. What that means is that we are at risk of losing these animals completely. We put considerable time, effort and money into saving endangered animals, but why? Extinction is a natural process that would happen with or without humans. But, while that is the case, research shows that extinctions are happening quicker now than ever before. And, loss of habitat is by far the biggest cause. This is a problem that we need to address, and here are a few reasons why. One thing we humans fail at is seeing the big picture. We are often blind to the interconnectedness of everything that supports life, a web so complex and interdependent, we are only beginning to understand it. The food chain, from the tiniest little microorganisms to the largest creatures on earth, keep us humans alive. So, when we talk about the grey whale, the timber wolf, the black rhino, it’s not just that we should save these endangered creatures for their own good, but it’s also for ours.The current legislation and government bodies that protect wild species from extinction are both being defunded and reorganized. It will be up to ordinary citizens and environmental groups to save these important links on the food chain. Here are someways to accomplish this. There are many things we can do to help endangered animals, here are a few suggestions. Protect wildlife habitats. Habitat loss is one of the biggest causes of extinction. Do your bit to preserve wildlife habitats. Volunteer to maintain a local nature reserve, campaign against deforestation or create a space for nature in your garden. Educate others. People are more likely to want to save animals if they know about them. Spend time doing some research and spread the word. Stay away from pesticides and herbicides. Animals are venerable to pollutants that can build up in the environment and can die if they consume high levels. Shop ethically. Avoid buying products made from endangered animals. Be an ethical tourist. We all love spending time with animals, but the rise of animal experiences abroad is endangering the lives of many animals. Often they are treated cruelly and kept t in unsatisfactory conditions. “Educate your family about endangered species in your area” There are many endangered species that we can find in all the world we can change the future of this species like protecting them and another thinks like stop the haunting of all of this species, all the species around the world would be protected by the human because animals are the balance in the world. Giant Panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca Native to the mountain forests of southwest China, the giant panda is one of the most beloved animals in the world. Giant pandas are identified by their distinctive black and white coloring. Their ears, muzzle, eyes, shoulders and legs are black while the rest of their body is white. Their thick hair keeps them warm in the cool, wet mountain zones. When on all fours, giant pandas average between 60-100 cm (2-3 ft.) tall at the shoulder and between 1-2 m (4-6 ft.) long. They can weigh between 100-115 kg (220-250 lb.), with males being larger than females. One of the interesting evolutionary traits of the panda is their protruding wrist bone that acts like a thumb. This helps the pandas hold bamboo while they munch on it with their strong molar teeth. Bamboo makes up nearly the entire diet of the panda. Due to the low nutritional value of bamboo, pandas need to eat 10-20 kg (20-40 lb.) a day. Occasionally pandas will eat other available food, including small rodents, eggs, fish and other flora. Bamboo provides a good amount of water, but pandas need to supplement this with fresh water daily. With only around 2060 pandas living in the wild, the giant panda is considered vulnerable of extinction by the IUCN. Due to the fact that pandas reproduce so infrequently, it is very difficult for their population to recover from such a low point. One the main reasons that panda populations have declined is habitat destruction. As the human population in China continues to grow, pandas’ habitat gets taken over by development, pushing them into smaller and less livable areas. Habitat destruction also leads to food shortages. Pandas feed on several varieties of bamboo that bloom at different times of the year. If one type of bamboo is destroyed by development, it can leave the pandas with nothing to eat during the time it normally blooms, increasing the risk of starvation. Macaw Overexploitation and Habitat Loss Of the 145 species of parrot in Central and South America, 45 are in danger of extinction. All 18 species of macaws are threatened. The primary causes are habitat loss and heavy exploitation for the pet trade. The hyacinth macaw is especially vulnerable to capture and habitat destruction because it is noisy, intrinsically fearless, predictable, and dependent on palm trees. Hyacinth macaws brought $5,000 to $10,000 each in the pet trade as of 1988. This high price fosters a dangerous level of poaching and smuggling. Data and anecdotal evidence suggests that as many as 10,000 Hyacinth macaws were taken from the wild during the 1980s. Trees are cut down to remove the young from nest holes, which not only removes that generation of birds, but permanently destroys the nest site. Hyacinth macaws do not breed every year even under the best circumstances, so this predation on chicks is particularly bad for the species’ survival. Since captured young survive so poorly (up to 99 percent die between capture and final sale), adults are sometimes trapped through liming of perches or use of baited clap-nets. Still, for every macaw that arrives safely abroad, it is likely that five died on the way. The United States is the largest market for the exotic pet trade. In the last decade, 8.5 million birds, at least 85 percent of birds captured in the wild, were imported or smuggled into the United States. Even when the export of birds is controlled, the domestic bird trade often is not regulated. Millions of tropical birds, including parrots and macaws, are captured for local sale. About 50 percent of hyacinth macaws trapped in Brazil were bought by Brazilians rather than being sold overseas. It is common in many rural areas for households to have a pet bird. Half the households recently surveyed in northern Argentina had some kind of parrot. Leopards Leopards could vanish before the tiger if this animal is not given due attention. This year alone, 30 leopards have died in Maharashtra while the Wildlife Protection Society of India has reported 207 deaths across the country compared to 290 deaths in 200 Leopards are the epitome of grace in motion. But leopard skins and canine teeth are widely traded in Africa, and leopard poaching is common in Asia. The IUCN lists leopards as “near threatened” and warns their population is rapidly disappearing. Leopards live in sub-Saharan Africa, NE Africa, Central Asia, India and China but despite this wide geographic spread – the largest distribution of any wild cat – many of their populations are endangered. For instance, the rare, solitary Amur Leopard is listed as “critically endangered” with a population in the wild of only around 60 remaining individual cats. And the highly adaptable, nimble snow leopard is listed as “endangered” with a population of only around 4,000 – 6,500 in the wild. It should not be a surprise that the biggest predators of these wonderful animals are humans. Sadly, these cats’ beauty is contributing to its decline towards extinction – demand for leopard fur and other body parts is driving a robust poaching market. In addition, hunting, habitat loss and retaliatory killings are additional pressures resulting in many of the Leopard subspecies teetering on the brink of disaster. These beautiful, solitary creatures deserve a chance to thrive in the wild. Let’s pass strong laws to end the illegal trade in leopard skins and other parts The highest number of leopards killed was in 2000 when it shot up to 1,278. From 1994 onwards, between 70-200 leopards have been killed every year across India Leopards tend to survive even outside the forests, as in the sugar cane plantations of Ahmednagar and Pune and therefore come close to the villages. That is how the man-animal conflict begins. Panthera onca is its scientific name, it is related to other species of big cats, such as the tiger or the lion. In fact, of the big cats, the jaguar is the third largest of all after just mentioned. It is one of the most important symbols of Mexican culture before the arrival of Hispanics, that is, the pre-Hispanic culture, where the role of spiritual protector was granted. The jaguar lives in jungle and swampy areas, which are being destroyed faster and faster. When we talk about threatened or endangered species we are referring to those species that become part of the Red List of Endangered Species or Red Book. This list was created in 1963 by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature). This organization aims to ensure the conservation of biodiversity and the natural wealth of our planet. In this way, when we say that the jaguar is in danger of extinction, we are referring to a species that has been included in the IUCN Red List. Specifically, currently, the jaguar would have the category of "almost threatened species". The natural habitat is established in the center and a good part of the south of the American continent, which includes the Amazon jungle. In fact, currently, the main threat that is decimating jaguar populations is the deforestation of the Amazon, which is advancing by leaps and bounds to obtain new crop lands. However, it is true that although the destruction of its habitat is the main threat facing the species, it is not the only one. The deforestation of the Amazon should include poaching, illegal trafficking of exotic animals and traps of the peasants, who pursue this animal because it is a specie that attacks livestock. In conclusion we search for differents endangered species the most threatened in the world, animals are the most important think in the world because without they we didn't have a lot of things that we have now but only natural thinks like the honey the polen and the most important think is that animals can carry the balance in the world and we have to protect them all the species around the world like bee, elephants, leopards etc. This Text is to create conscience about how important are the animals and the hurt that we do to they, is that the only think that we have to see the hurt that we are causing in the nature, the place where they live we have to carry them and protect all the species around the world.
