Honestly, Alya being the reason why Mari didn't become Shadybug feels like a disservice to Tom and Sabine...
You know what yeah like?
Marinette had two good parents who, while they weren't perfect and weren't able to magically solve her problems, were still very good people who raised her right and helped her deal with situations in a healthy manner.
What the fuck are they doing in Emonette's verse? Or is Emonette just Saltinette in disguise and she sees her parents as awful abusive enablers because they weren't able to be there 24/7 and be clairvoyant about her situation without her telling them and didn't physically assault/murder her bully for her?

...everytime Lila exists.
God. Im in the tag and Im seeing shit that I know will make the annoying ass salters cream themselves.
ESPECIALLY the mfs that salt on Alya.
God. I cant waaaait for an influx of saltinette bullshit where Alyas replaced by idk Kagami now?? 🙄
..mlb writers figure out how to fucking write smart villain characters without dumbing others down challenge.
Also..whats with this show and demonizing whole ass kids instead of abusive ass adults. Audrey and Andre are allowed to be shitty, neglectful cunts and Gabriels allowed to be a literal terrorist who abuses his son but no one EVER calls this out in show. Gabriel is even described as loving his family. Tf
But Lila and Chloe are just completely evil little girls?? What.
I may hate Lila but theres no way shes more evil than a literal grown ass terrorist whos being a giant baby cuz his wife fucked around and found out (i dont feel bad for Emelie idc shes shady as fuck til Proven otherwise.)

I just fucking realised that Alya now knows that Lila isn't really friends with Ladybug because Ladybug is Marinette.
This episode didn't just destroy Alya salt, it destroyed ALL the Saltinette fics, every last one of them.

🎶💰🔪
🎶What music do you listen to when you write?
Movie soundtracks or fantasy-setting ambience! I can't focus if there are words or if I know where the words should be, so I listen to movie soundtracks (typically Harry Potter or 80s-90s Disney) for action scenes, and background ambience for dialogue/settings/romantic scenes.
💰What's one trope you wouldn't write, except for money?
See, I write for a fair few different fandoms, so my nope-tropes tend to be super fandom-specific. That being said, I'd only write Miraculous Ladybug fic with Kwami swaps if I was being commissioned by someone I know - it's not a trope I really enjoy beyond the extent we got in Reflekdoll.
(I point-blank refuse to write anything canon-compliant with Total Drama All Stars)
🔪Fuck Marry Kill 3 tropes:
Fuck:
High School AU. I say 'fuck' for this one because I love it, but only for a few specific fandoms. I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life with it, but it's like having a friend with benefits for when I'm lonely. Of course, if we're comparing it to like having a friend with benefits, there's a possibility that if this trope one day runs out of weed I may realise I actually hate it.
Marry:
Les Amis modern AU. It contains found family, friends who do cool crazy shit together, often pining, and occasionally betting pools. I wanna live here.
Kill:
Saltinette Leaves The Miraclasse. Die already. Give me a shovel and I'll dig a hole deep enough to personally deliver this one to Satan.
Thankyou!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fu: Where are you getting this werewolf fur?
Marinette: It's a secret.
Fu: I don't like that.
Marinette: Oh, really? Like how I don't like you keeping yourself a secret from Chat Noir? Shame really, cause this stuff is really easy to get once you know how.
Fu: ...
Saltinette but it’s not a salt fic it’s just her being salty as fuck to Fu

What brought you into salting for ML, and what led you away from it? You’ve written some things that were very salty in the past, and more recently written that you were ashamed of those things, and now work to combat salt and write positive things. What brought about the change? And I’m sorry if I sound accusatory, I’m genuinely curious.
No, you don’t sound accusatory at all! I’ve been trying to avoid talking about it because I’d have to name specific people but honestly? I don’t even care anymore. I’m done not calling people out just because I was afraid of them sending their groupies after me. (I wish I could put this under a read more but my laptop charger is fried and idk how to do it on mobile 😭).
So when I was new to the fandom, I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what opinion I should have about things. All I knew was tha I was coming from Supernatural, where I’d started to criticise a LOT of things about it, which was my mindset coming into ML. And the biggest and most popular bloggers were the Big Four, as I took to calling them: zoe-oneesama, lenoreofraven, gale-of-the-nomads and nobodyfamousposts. There were others, like miraculouscontent and jacquesthepigeon, and these were the dominant voices in the fandom from where I was. And if they’re the dominant voices and they’re being what I see as critical, of course I’m going to assume that they’re in the right. Not to mention that I’ve always had a problem with idolising people I see as cooler than me, so that definitely didn’t help. Plus they seemed to be Enlightened, claiming x and y were racist and problematic, and I was so desperate to be unproblematic that I didn’t stop and realise that they were the ones being problematic in the first place and just projecting the blame onto others to deflect from themselves. The racism in Zoe’s Scarlet Lady comic in particular is particularly disgusting and I’ve vented about it in private more than once, but it’s okay because it’s improving the show.
(Never mind that you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. Critical doesn’t equal salty as fuck. That’s something I’ve finally learned and I’m happy loving and gushing over the show while still pointing out where it needs to improve)
I eventually ended up joining a salty Discord and that’s what actually ended up pushing me away from salt, because it was so...bad. Everyone was egging each other on and encouraging each other to be salty and toxic about the show and I was starting to resent the show, and why should I waste my energy on something I hate? Salt legitimately very nearly killed my love for not only this show but children’s media in general, which was also why I left SPN because I was done with the constant gritty darkness. I wanted to love Adrien, I wanted to love Alya, I wanted to love the show, but I was being bombarded with Perfect Princess Saltinette and Perfect Boyfriend Loocah and Kickass Queen Chloé/Kagami (whichever one the author liked) and it just...all got internalised and reinforced. I felt like I wasn’t allowed to love Adrien and Alya and the show or I’d be doing something wrong, because clearly these fans knew better than I did.
And then we come to Défenseure. At the time of writing it, I legitimately didn’t mean for it to be overly salty. I intended for it to be like ‘Little Devil’, where the characters were fucking up but they stopped and learned lessons, albeit through the salter lens of what those lessons should be. Adrien was never going to lose his ring. He was just going to get a stern talking-to and end up apologising to Ladybug (despite that itself being exaggerated bc of how salters see him). But the Discord kept going and going and egging me on and providing “support” when I got negative feedback, and I let them push me to the point of full salt. And that’s when I stepped back and realised that I hated it. I hated being here, I hated interacting with the fandom, I hated writing. So I bowed out and never looked back.
But it’s not that simple. I was invited to another Discord by someone who, I will give a smidge of credit, did help pull me out of that dark place. But I didn’t realise that GalahadWilder was predatory and just outright yuck and literally manipulating me, especially with how he used his own autism to connect with me and empathise in a way that non-autistics couldn’t. Again, I couldn’t read people and I didn’t realise that I was being played until I ended up embroiled in another fandom drama. The less said about that, the better, but anyone who’s been around for any length of time knows what Drama I’m talking about.
And somehow, that ended up being even more toxic than the salt. We were actively attacking the showrunners (doxxing and then deleting to save face aka “do damage control over an impulsive mistake”), jabbing at other fans who I won’t name, constantly screenshotting one specific person (who legitimately is disgusting and hated by most of the fandom) and laughing at how pathetic they were, even going to one side of the drama and sending anons to try and pin the blame on the other side. And granted, I didn’t actively participate in most of this, but I still sat there and watched and laughed and believed the manipulations. It wasn’t until I got sick of this drama and someone informed me of the true nature of it (because I definitely wouldn’t have gotten involved and supported who I did if I’d been told the whole truth) that I left, but even then I still had people from both sides of the internal drama in that Discord messaging me and trying desperately to get me to believe them, and it was just. Too much.
Fandom’s supposed to be fun. Fandom’s supposed to be an escape. And yet I was ending up in more drama than a reality TV show because people were playing me like a puppet and I was sick of it.
But I’m in a healthier place now in the fandom. I’ve found the balance between roasting and being outright cruel; between criticising the show and spewing salt over it. And while I do hate what I’ve written and the drama I got messed up in, I’m grateful in a way. Without my salty writing, I wouldn’t have found that I hate doing it. Without that drama, I wouldn’t have found the true natures of certain people and I wouldn’t have made the friends I have now, like ladybuginettes, emsylcatac, amimons, bugabisous and yeet-noir. We jokingly call me a babie egg because I’ve been reborn as sugar and sweetness 😌 Especially since joining APS, which has let me actually love Adrien and even other characters like Alya and shower them in the positivity that I wanted to in the first place.
So, uh...yeah. That’s how I went from being a salty bitch to wanting to be more positive and sugary. And at least now I’m disillusioned enough that I just. Don’t idolise anyone anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️

Fusion of the Sandboy 2.0 during class and everyone meets Chat Blanc, with Lila redeems herself after having a nightmare of Saltinette.
Lila and Marinette both go catatonic and koala the first person they can, which ends up being the other via a series of clumsiness.
Everyone is concerned by the Yandere CN, and the Insane Marinette who’s worse than Chloe at her absolute lowest.
You know. There's two things that would be terrifying to Lila about Saltinette.
One is the obvious 'Saltinette is a vindictive bitch and kinda horrifying in her own right'
The other is the idea that like. The things Saltinette would say/accuse Lila of doing would be in line with Saltfic!Lila. Who is like, serial killer levels of fucked up. So Lila hearing Saltinette rant and going 'is this what Marinette thinks I'm going to do to her?' would fuck her up a little.

You see Lila couldve been super interesting if she had a reason to do what she does or if othr characters werent drastically made dumb in her presence without any explanation on why that is.
Like Lilas appearance bought forth the most ANNOYING fucking salty tropes in this fandom. The marinette x literally everyone in the universe trope, the racist ass trope of Alya being an aggressive attack dog, Chloe replacing Alya as Marinette best friend, destroying the batfamily tag with this batfam x marinette shit, Saltinette in general, Adrien and the class being demonized for daring to have a different opinion/way of approach than Marinette.
And Lila only played a major role in like..three episodes before immediately becoming an after thought. For all this annoying and boring salt fics youd think she was a LOT more threatening and important than she is but no.
Lila couldve been interesting,couldve been a rival to Alya or Adrien, maybe have her show some emotion besides trying to make a 14 year old seem more evil than a literal terrorist whos trying to harm children cuz his wife croaked. Show Lila actually being friends with people, give them a reason to actually like her, give her a motivation besides just strictly being needlessly petty cuz Ladybug was mean to her like..once.
Or if she doesnt like Ladybug maybe just play it as a goof like she hates Ladybug because shes childish but no one takes it serious and she isnt trying to harm people cuz theres no WAY a child is more evil than a whole ass man whos fully aware of the consequences (this show likes to demonize the kids a lot more than the wicked ass adults but anyways.)
Just..lord Lila irks me cuz she let loose a whole issue and shes barely in most episodes and no one seems to be effected by her existence besides Marinette and Adrien its weird. At least with Chloe every character acknowledges her when shes on screen, talks about her, engages with her every so often.

What's up with people saying Marinette is "girlbossing" her way into the agreste storyline lmao
People are so terminally online that they somehow don't realize that the majority of men are still very much opposed to women ever having higher positions/income than them in workplaces and relationships in the real world and genuinely believe it to be emasculating to the point that it tears apart relationships. They don't understand that bc of that fact, females in leadership roles with males in support roles needs to be normalized for the younger generations through shows like ML, and it's not "bad/shallow feminism" to have a male and female character not be perfectly 50-50. Because they don't understand this, they call it "girlbossing" (derogatory) whenever Ladybug and Chat Noir aren't perfectly 50-50 in the show and Ladybug is allowed to be the leader, as if it hasn't been established from the start that Ladybug is the main character. They've experienced so much brainrot from obsessively reading and arguing with insane Saltinette stans' takes (rather than just blocking and moving on like the people with brains did) that they can no longer separate the Saltinette takes from canon and are now convinced Astruc is the biggest Saltinette of them all who hates Adrien and is "forcing" his fav Marinette in to the Agreste storyline for #girlpower
As usual, these very progressive geniuses are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning and don't have any idea what kind of show they're watching, because if they did, they might've instead realized that ML takes inspiration from Spider-Man, a fact that has been made clear by Astruc since the very conception of Ladybug and Chat Noir's designs. If they breathed some fresh air from time to time and put more energy in to thinking about that fact than they did in to coming up with deranged takes, they might've realized that the story specifically draws inspiration from Spider-man's conflict with the Osborn family.
Awkward mess of a teenage boy with a previously normal life unexpectedly becomes a superhero. Hero's rich boy best friend is the only son of a dead mother (named Emily!) and a rich, influential, asshole father. Said father became cold and distant after his beloved wife's death, but the son is still desperate to earn his approval. By a stroke of Great luck, the hero's first major villain happens to be said best friend's father, a fact that is not known by either the hero or the best friend. The villainous father is willing to trade his son's soul to get what he wants. The hero's many secrets, his struggles to balance being a hero with his civilian life, and his decision to keep his loved ones at a distance to protect them puts a strain on all of his relationships, especially with the aforementioned best friend, which is made more tragic and frustrating by the fact that the hero is doing everything he does to protect the very loved ones who are upset with him. When the father and hero's identities are revealed to the best friend, it causes him immense distress, and when the father demands that his son kill the hero, the son struggles between love for his best friend and love for his father.
This classic storyline suddenly becomes a problem when Spider-Man becomes a french-chinese girl and Harry Osborn becomes the blonde best friend whom she's in love with and whom the fans project on to. The superheroine's eventual struggle with her secrets and relationships is criticized to hell and back and becomes "character assassination" and/or an effort by the writers to "punish" the blonde Harry Osborn and/or write him out of the story and make way for the #girlpower, rather than being treated as the normal fucking "struggles of a teenage superhero" plotpoint that it is, because people are incapable of being normal about female characters and male characters are allowed to be messes and fuck up in ways that female characters aren't. The superheroine's nemesis being the best friend's dad is suddenly criticized as being simultaneously not feminist (because the conflict revolves around two Men) and too "gIrLpOwEr" (for "forcing" the heroine in to the male character's familial conflict) all at once. It's suddenly argued that the male best friend character is the one who should actually be the main hero and that the heroine is actually written like a love interest instead of, you know, Spider-Man. It's suddenly a problem that the superheroine is just a normal kid whose main conflict is against a supervillain who doesn't have a connection to her outside of being the father of one of the people she loves most, as if battling supervillains for the sole motivation of protecting their city and loved ones isn't literally what superheroes like Spider-Man classically Do, because you know, "with great power comes great responsibility."
God don't you hate how Spider-man girlbossed his way in to the Osborn storyline

“I’m Done” Part 1
Ok I know y’all want more Silencer AU but this scene would literally not leave my head so here’s something that might turn into a little baby fic and might not, idk. Enjoy some saltinette and angrynette!!
“I’m done! I’m fucking done!” The class snapped to Marinette, hands thrown up and red in the face.
“Why are you so invested in fighting Lila, Marinette? Are you really that jealous?” Alya’s eyebrows furrowed as she tried to figure out when her friend had jumped off the deep end.
Mari scoffed. “Jealous? I’m so far past jealous it’s almost comical. You wanna know how I know Lila’s a dirty, disgusting, thieving liar, Alya? You wanna know?”
Tikki tried to get her attention, begging her to stop before she did something irreversible, but it was no use. She’d set her mind on a course of action, and she’d be damned if she strayed from her path now.
“I’m going to tell you.” Her voice went eerily calm. “I’m going to tell you everything, and you’re not going to say anything until I’m done.”
Marinette took a deep breath.
“Before I get started, though, I need to say some things. Alya, you’re never going to be Rena Rouge again. Nino, and this really hurts, because you were my childhood best friend, and I thought that meant something, but apparently not! You’re never going to be Carapace again. Chloe, you ever getting the Bee Miraculous was a mistake, but I’m definitely not giving you a second shot at it now. And don’t any of you think of running after me and trying to apologize after this, because I’m done. I’m done with this entire class, and I hope Hawkmoth doesn’t attack the school for a good long while after this, because I don’t know if I’m going to want to save you all.”
Alya was about to open her mouth and demand how Marinette knew she was Rena Rouge, but Marinette didn’t give her a chance.
“I know Lila Rossi is a liar because I saw her steal Adrien’s father’s book from his satchel and use it to claim she was the holder of the Fox Miraculous. I know she never left Paris after being akumatized because she was here on Heroes Day, making illusions of me and Chat Noir fighting so Hawkmoth could prey on all of the citizens’ fear and turn them into akuma. I know she’s never saved Jagged Stone’s kitten because I know Jagged personally, and he prefers reptiles. He’s had Fang longer than Lila’s been alive. I know her livestream from Achu was fake because it was clearly a poster. There were no people in the streets and not once did a bird fly into frame. But most of all… most of all, I know she’s a goddamned liar about being Ladybug’s friend.”
“What, because you know Ladybug personally?” Chloe yelled from up front, clearly stung by the thought of never being Queen Bee again.
Marinette’s stare bored right into her soul as she hammered the final nail into Lila’s coffin. “No, Chloe-fucking-Bourgeois, my least favorite bully of four fucking years. I know she’s lying because she’s not my friend.”
Lila latched onto the bait immediately. “What, are you trying to say you’re Ladybug? Wow, this is low, even for you, Marinette!” Her high pitched laugh rocked through the room, but no one was laughing with her.
“Tikki. Spots on.”
The pink light enveloped the room, and there stood Paris’ protector, righteous in her fury. “Next time you try to lie about me, Lila, consider that I’m the only one standing between you and my fists. Go get akumatized again, I dare you. I’m not going to hold back.”
As she walked towards the window, prepared to leave this school forever, Adrien finally spoke up.
“My Lady?”
A barely audible ‘no way’ came from Nino as his best friend stood up, tears in his eyes.
“Plagg, claws out!”
Tears streamed down Chat Noir’s eyes as Ladybug stared at him, half-shocked, half-enraged. She recovered quickly enough. The first sound she made was a strangled, high-pitched laugh.
“Of course Mister High Road himself is Chat Noir. Of course! Did you think for even a second, Adrien, that maybe it would be easier to out Lila earlier and fight one person instead of everyone she’s hurt with her lies? You’d rather fight thirteen akumas instead of one?” Marinette’s eyes shone with angry tears she refused to shed. “Or is it that you hate me that much? You know, she threatened me in the bathroom. She said I could join her or she’d turn everyone against me. And she did! Everyone in here hates me! They all think I’m some jealous, boy-crazy bully to the new kid! And I tried to take the high road, I really did try! But I can’t take it any more! I’ve been protecting everyone in here for so long, but who’s protecting me, Chat? Who? Apparently you’re fucking not!”
He could see that she was on the edge of hysterics and tried to reach out to her, say anything that would calm her down.
“Stay away from me, Adrien! All of you, just stay away! I’m done being your everyday Ladybug if this is how you treat me! I’m done! Lila wins! Go tell Hawkmoth, I know you’re buddy-buddy with him! Tell him to come after me personally! Kidnap my fake fucking friends, use them as a ransom for these earrings! I dare you! Enjoy your new friends, Lila, enjoy them until they turn on you when someone cooler shows up! I hope you’re happy!”
Her yoyo arced through the sky, and then she was gone.
Faintly, Adrien wondered if everyone was going to turn on Lila. They were all too shocked to do anything but stare blankly at the chalkboard, though. He fell back down onto his seat with an audible ‘thunk.’
When Mlle. Bustier walked in, she couldn’t figure out why all her students looked so dead, or why Chat Noir was sitting in Adrien’s seat.
“I-is there something wrong? Chat Noir? Where are Adrien and Marinette?”
Adrien’s lip quivered as he answered. “She’s gone, Miss Bustier. Marinette left.”
The noise was finally enough to break the spell over everyone.
“I bullied Ladybug for years!” Chloe shrieked.
Alya started subbing. “She was my best friend, and I told her she was just jealous!”
“Your best friend?” Adrien rounded on her. “She’s the love of my life, and I told her not to out Lila, and now she’s gone!”
“Bro, you knew?” Nino looked over at him, hurt clearly etched on his already pained face.
Adrien slammed his hands on the desk. “Of course I knew! She’s the worst liar to ever exist! But she’s been akumatized three times, and I didn’t want to keep fighting her!”
Mlle. Bustier slapped a ruler on the desk to get everyone’s attention. “Someone tell me what is going on, right now.”
“Marinette is Ladybug, Lila’s been lying to the entire class, and now she’s ran off somewhere!”
“Adrien, you have to go after her.” Chloe spoke up suddenly, leaping across her desk and grabbing him by the wrists. “What if she’s about to get akumatized?!”
He took off out the same window she’d left from, screaming her name. Both of them.
Chloe turned to the rest of the room. “Well? Are we going to let Ladybug get akumatized? Come on!” Her voice got higher and higher as she talked.
“She said not to go after her.” Nathaniel murmured.
“It’s Marinette, for fuck’s sake, we’re not going to let the nicest person we know get akumatized because she doesn’t want to see us! Now come on!”
The entire class, Mlle. Bustier included and Lila excluded, stampeded out of the school to go rescue the nicest, most dangerous girl they knew.
Lila sat in the classroom, waiting for a black butterfly that never appeared.
That butterfly was flapping its little wings as hard as it could, trying to keep up as Marinette “Ladybug” Dupain-Cheng flew over the city.

Rae Rewatches Miraculous Ladybug
Season 1: Rogercop
Tom is the best father
Ninette!
Oohhh Adrien, I just want to give you a hug
And the bars of the windows purposefully shadow over him....to show his loneliness....
Not even a minute into the episode and my heart is already shattered
Nino and Marinette look so worried for him
Why did only four students' parents show up?? Where's Mylene's dad as an actor? Where's Alix's dad as the director of a museum?? Where's Juleka's mom as- wait, what's her profession again?
For once Chloe listens to her dad
Sabrina looks so happy to receive the croissant wow
"Well if you're so rich, obviously you don't need free croissants!" SHOTS FIRED
How did no one see Plagg??
Plagg why would Chloe have camem- never mind it's Plagg
Plagg's attraction to shiny things explains a lot....
Plagg tf
A huge development on Marinette's part: In Origins she tumbled over, but no one laughed at her, and she was apologizing for no reason. Now she trips, but everyone laughs WITH her, and she doesn't think much of it. Marinette no longer views her clumsiness as a weakness or flaw.
I like that Roger is still trying to keep the situation under control instead of bowing to Chloe's whims like most people (looking at you, Bustier and Damocles)
Andre you big fat jerk
As mayor, yes you are superior but you technically have no power over Roger's job
That's abuse of power.
He can't fire him
Sabrina is so chill about her father losing his job????
*skips Hawkmoth monologue*
*record screech*
WAIT BACK THE FUCK UP
THIS BITCH PURPOSEFULLY MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO HIS SON SO HE COULD MESS AROUND WITH HIS BUGS?!
WHY AM I EVEN SURPRISED
"Parent child relationships can be so complicated" not like you are an expert at it, are you SHITBRIEL?!
Roger is still worried about breaking the law over his job. Wow.
Tom is still the best father
"If I were her bracelet I'd try and get away as far as possible from that crazy brat too!" SHOTS FIRED
Sorry but Sabrina's growl-wiggle was hilarious
How on earth did Nathaniel manage to sketch the bracelet on Chloe's table in the FRONT ROW?!
I have my.... opinions on Mendelieev but her just walking past an Akuma without any fear is something else lol
Analysed by professionals? It's a video not a thumbprint
Couldn't Plagg just phase out of the bracelet??
Adrien is so done
"Rock Hard abs" KSKSKAKAKSJ PLAGG
Adrien's the king of expressions
*skips Hawkbitch monologue*
"Let the adults handle this?" Marinette did more than the three authorities in the room
Okay....maaaayyybeee Marinette is being a little biased towards Adrien
"I don't know!" The way Chloe said that was hilarious
Why did Adrien think that would work
"You're always thinking with your stomach"
WhY does he have a pepper shaker just lying around??
Son...I love you but...I have questions
Atleast it worked
Adrien you smart cookie
You're literally a millionaire get another bracelet
Those were some moves, Bug girl is killing it
Kskdkkelwk it cracks me up so much that Chloe just marched up to an Akuma for help so unironically
I never saw that Chat just landed on his wrist to deflect it
LMFAO HE LANDED ON THE TRASH CAN
"Don't listen to that liar" - Hawkmoth. Someone get me that duct tape
Oh wow she just flew
Oh my god Chloe
"I bet you missed me!" And they say Chat Noir is the flirt
Oooh that was a close save by Ladybug
The more I watch these the more their teamwork astounds me
"Thanks for the lasso, lassie!"
Chloe you SAW him put it on autopilot
Chat Noir has all these amazing moves with his staff and the way he chooses to hit Rogercop is by going "BANG BANG BANG" on him
He just stopped fighting there for a minute, like he had given up
Kitty is angery
Look at that dexterity!! He stopped the car with one hand!
"Nice day for a swim!" Babie you are falling to your death
Thank you Ladybug for saving Almost-Pancake Noir
Also she caught herself all on her own!! Queen!
SHE JUST DROPS HIM
Cats always land on their feet but Chat Noir always lands on his backside
That lil moment of Ladynoir banter!!
Was Chloe just inside that car all along? I forgot about her
*looks at that car shaped cutout on the door* Now THAT is precision
Oh he captured Chloe while we all forgot about her!!
"So much for your powers. Ha ha ha ha ha"
I don't see any of his handcuffs on the- OH COME ON are they really going to follow the Akuma and not the superheroes trying to save them??
So it's nighttime....which means Ladynoir spent an entire day in each other's company while hiding from everyone......YOUNG FORBIDDEN SECRET LOVE
LOOK AT EM JUST SITTING THERE NEXT TO EACH OTHER WHILE BEING UNDER MORTAL PERIL I AM WEAK
"We should go defend ourselves in a court of law!" I love how seriously he says that while having a bounty on his head
LOOK AT THAT POLE DANCING
AND TAP DANCING
"Something about Paris just makes you wanna dance!"
"GO Ladybug GO!" Great GOing Chloe
"You've got justice and revenge all mixed up!" Think Ladybug just roasted, no incinerated Saltinette
"Fabulous, so wretchedly Fabulous!" Can someone tell Gabe he isn't Sharpay Evans?
Kitty defeated an entire army all on his own
Ladybug and Chat definitely enjoyed throwing Chloe and her father
"Stop shooting like an idiot, Rogercop!" Says the biggest idiot himself
She took that belt only because she hasn't discovered her Chat tail kink yet
Proof that Chat's suit has pockets
Lol love how slyly he absolved himself of his crime
"That's Chloe's bracelet" How did he hear her SAY that and not recognise who she was??
So the cat Miraculous holder can control the extent of his Cataclysm!
Chat got handcuffed.
That entire sequence of Ladybug oven mitting Rogercop with a belt was too awesome
I replayed it only about 3000 times
The way Roger says "NOOO" though lol
"As Rogercop would say, Justice has prevailed in the streets of Paris!" NDKDKWOK I CAN'T HE'S SUCH A DORK
AND LADYBUG'S SWEET SMILE AT HIM, SAME GIRL, SAME
"I'd stick around but you'd see me without my mask and you wouldn't be able to resist me"
Neither him nor Ladybug know how right he is
*skips Hawkmoth monologue*
How hadn't Ladybug timed out yet? Chat used his Cataclysm several minutes after her
Ladybug's giggle is so cute
Lieutenant Roger's happiness is infectious
"A valuable lesson, learned. Right Chloe?" Oh you just threatened another parent, a teacher, a principal and an entire school and NOW you choose to parent your daughter

An Odd Saltinette Fic; Chapter 3
Fuck it, this is written out pretty far ahead. Lemme know what you think. 
Marinette bounced around the kitchen, her hair in a sloppy bun. Felix was coming over after dinner to study, and she had a plan to surprise him. He adored proper beignets, so she was whipping up a quick batch. They were one of the first things her mama had taught her to make. As she rotated the first batch in the oil, she thought over her first week at school. She had made friends with a small blonde boy, named Mitskuni Haninozuka. His younger cousin, Takashi, was actually an old friend of hers. She remembered seeing him at tournaments when she was younger. He’d probably make a decent sparring partner. She moved on autopilot, dropping the third batch into the oil, when she heard the elevator ding. She draped a damp towel over the cooling first and second batches, and called over her shoulder.
“In the kitchen, mon chevalier!” She heard Felix set down his bag, and walk into the kitchen. She was putting the fresh pastries onto a plate when she felt him wrap his arms around her waist. He kissed the top of her head, and rested his forehead on her shoulder. “What’s wrong, cherie?” Felix heaved a sigh.
“Father is bugging me about college. Again.” He groaned. Felix’s father was rather overbearing, and often pushed him more than was healthy.
“What do you mean, again?” She growled. More often than not, she disagreed with the Culpa patriarch over his treatment of his only son.
“He tried to use you against me at one point. ‘What about Marinette? How will you provide for her?’” He huffed. “Maman ripped him a new one for that one.” Marinette giggled. Marie Culpa was a firecracker of a woman, who looked just like her son. She was a French woman, who often tamed her husband’s rather poor parenting skills. She turned her head, and kissed him on the cheek.
“Guess what’s under the towel.” He hummed.
“Is it Danishes?”
“Nope.”
“Macaroons?”
“Not even close. Do you give?”
“Last guess. Donuts?”
“Uh-uh. Beignets!” He perked up, pulling back. He removed the towel, and snagged one of the powdery treats. He stuffed half of the thing in his mouth, and moaned appreciatively. Marinette giggled.
“You are the best thing to ever happen to me, ma petite coccinelle. What would I do without you?” Marinette smiled.
“You’d have to go without pastries.” He swallowed the rest of the treat, and snagged another.
“Truly, a cursed existence. C’mon. I’ll help you with your Algebra if you help me with my German.” Both chuckled. Where Marinette was a bit of a polyglot, Felix was better at the hard sciences and math.
“That’s a deal!”

A week later, Marinette strolled through the halls. Her parents had received an order for ten dozen French macaroons, each batch a different flavor. Her Papa hadn’t arrived in Japan yet, so her and her Mama had woken up at three in the morning, gotten to the bakery at three thirty, and baked till five. By six, they had all one-hundred twenty filled and packed. The order was for the Host Club that she knew her school held, so she was in charge of delivery. She had Shoto help her carry the batches in, before stacking the crates on a dolly and wheeling it into the school. She headed straight for the elevator, expertly maneuvering around the corners. She soon reached music room three, and knocked gently. The door creaked open (did it not get oiled?) and she was slapped with the scent of roses as dozens of petals drifted past her. Standing arrayed around a blond she recognized as the chairman’s son, Tamaki Suoh, was an eclectic selection of boys.
“Welcome, princess!” Six voices chimed. The two twin redheads she thought might be in Felix’s class, and she knew Mori and Hani. The other black-haired boy she didn’t really recognize.
“Hello. Hi, Takashi-kun, Hani-sempai. How have you been?” Hani bounced forward, Usa-chan in his arms.
“I’m good, Mari-chan. What are you doing here? I thought you were engaged to Culpa-san?” He tilted his head, puzzled.
“That I am! I’m here to drop off your order, actually.” She slipped into business mode, pushing her thin glasses up her nose (she was out of her contacts) and snagged a clipboard off the top of the crates. “Two dozen raspberry macaroons, two dozen pistachio, two dozen strawberry, two dozen chocolate, and two dozen classic vanilla, correct?” She glanced up, seeing the lanky blond standing before her.
“You ARE new! Oh, how delightful! Tell me, princess, how do you know our Hani-sempai?” He swung an arm around her neck, slipping a finger under her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
“We trained together in our families’ dojos. Can you tell me if the order is correct or not?” She kept her voice dry and even, not happy with his proximity. The boy wilted as she shrugged his arm off her shoulders.
“The order is correct, Miss Dupain-Cheng. I am Kyoya Ootori, vice-president of the Host Club. Mori, could you set the crates over on the tables.” Mori nodded, ruffling her hair on his way past. “Gently, please, we don’t want the shells to crack.” Marinette eased the first crate off the stack, and carried it over to the table.
“There’s no need to do that.” One of the twins said, easing up behind her.
“Yeah, we don’t want such a pretty young thing getting hurt. Do we Kaoru?” The other asked, leaning against the table.
“Of course not, Hikaru. Do you really think she’s pretty?” The first twin, Kaoru, pouted.
“Not as lovely as you.” Hikaru swept his brother into his arms.
“Are they always like this?” She asked Mori, mildly unsettled.
“Yup.” He squatted slightly to pick up another crate.
“That’s…I don’t even know what to say. How had training been going? Are you still fighting with your brother, Hani-sempai?” She asked, walking past the older boy, ferrying the final of the five crates to the table.
“Training has been okay. Chika-chan and I are still having our…disagreement, but I’m sure he’ll come around eventually. How is Culpa-san?” He rubbed Usa-chan’s ears, morose.
“Felix-kun is doing good. He’s helped me with a few homework assignments so far.” She smiled. Felix really was great.
“WAIT! ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE FELIX CULPA?!” Suoh yelled.
“The ice king?” Kaoru whispered.
“He-who-could-rival-Kyoya?” Hikaru muttered.
“Pfft. That’s him. My fiancé has never been the best with social interactions.” Marinette giggled at the monikers. She was so using those on him.
“FIANCE?” The three yelled as one.
“Hm? Didn’t you know? Mari-chan and Culpa-san have been engaged for almost three years now. They’ve been friends forever!” Hani enthused.
“Yeah.” Mori said.
“I’ve got to go; I’m going to meet with Felix in the library before classes start. Wanna meet in the dojo after school, Takashi-kun? I need someone to work out with during the week.” Mori nodded, and Hani bounced from foot to foot.
“Can I come, Mari-chan? I haven’t seen you fight in forever!” He widened his eyes, pouting slightly.
“Sure, sempai. I’ll see you then.” She ruffled his hair, and headed for the door.

“Ma petite coccinelle.” Felix’s voice came from behind her, and she turned her head to smiled at him. Her smile dropped when she saw how utterly exhausted he looked.
“What’s wrong, ma chevalier?” He flopped into the seat next to her, dropping his bag onto the floor. She rubbed a hand between his shoulder blades.
“I got a B+ on my literature report. It was on color symbolism in Macbeth. I’ve read the book twice, and I got a B+!” His voice was a strangled whine.
“Is that all?” He sent her a mild glare from where his head was propped on his arms. “Felix, a single B+ isn’t going to make you fail. It probably won’t even pull down your grade. Now, would you mind walking me to music room three? I need to pick up the bakery crates from the Host Club.” He sighed.
“Why did it have to be the Host Club? Even the school newspaper would have been better.” Marinette tucked her hand into the crook of his elbow, and the two set off for the third floor.
“From what you’ve told me, the newspaper club couldn’t afford an order that big.” He nodded his head to the right a little, his way of showing agreement.
X0X0X0
Marinette and Felix strolled through the doors of the Host Club, ignoring the eyes that turned to them. She waved softly to Hani, who came bounding over.
“Mari-chan! Are you here to get Takashi for your spar?” He bounced, eager.
“Not just yet, sempai. The two of you still need to finish up here. Right now, Felix-kun,” She gestured to the blond beside her, “and I need to get the crates back downstairs so that my driver can take them back to the bakery. On that note, how were the macaroons?” Stars filled Hani’s eyes.
“They were so good! No-one bakes like your family, Mari-chan! And they were even batter since you helped make them! You left your signature flowers painted on the shells, so I knew you had helped!” The small blond boy was near-vibrating with enthusiasm.
“You can fight, Dupain-Cheng-san?” One of the girls, the one with thick lips scoffs.
“What an uncouth skill.” Another murmurs.
“My mother would never let me learn how to fight. It’s far too undignified.” A third sniffs.
“Yes, I can. My Grandmother is of the Rong family, the first daughter born in eight generations. She taught my mother, who taught me. It’s family tradition, as the Rong family is matriarchal. If I didn’t learn, it would be an insult to my heritage. I’ve trained in aikido, karate, taekwondo, judo, and muay thai. I also learned dance, as is proper for girls of the Cheng family, which my grandfather is head of. I know tap, ballroom, ballet, salsa, basic breakdancing, and bon dori. Felix, let’s grab the crates and go. I need to get ready for the spar.”
“Of course, ma petite coccinelle.” He escorted her from the room once they had gathered the crates, leaving with a dark glare at the girls who had dared insult his little ladybug.
