Not sure if anyone has written or posted this idea yet...
(Miraculous Ladybug x DC)
Its a common trope for Alya to look up to Lois Lane. I've seen a few fics where those two actually interact, but...
I don't think I've seen a fic or post were Marinette is the one to reach out to Lois. With how much shes done for the class, why wouldn't she reach out to Alya's personal hero? But what if... Marinette reached out to Lois for help? With Alya so caught up in Lila's lies, she lost sight of journalistic integrity, and despite the stress of the situation, Marinette truly does want to help her friend...
Alya getting a cold wake up call from her personal hero would be just the thing to make her sit back and realize that she truly was becoming a tabloid journalist instead of one that sought the truly like Lois.
Idk i think that it would have great potential for Alya to do some serious, long-term character growth, and have her start thinking more and reacting less. She'd backtrack and start fact-checking before posting whatever was said to her. Of course this wouldn't be an overnight fix it, and it not a salt fic either.
Just the slow, dawning realization that just because someone who is nice to her and makes promises (that she also realizes always end up falling through or passed onto another to fill) says things, doesn't mean that they're true. That people aren't always who they say they are, and adult aren't the only ones who create damaging lies.

Another pretentious post warnnnnning sorry but. hm. the articulation of this thought.
one. i feel like i do watch a lot of #nothing girl shows where everything's very low stakes and has ardent let people enjoy things with their brain off defenders. and i like these shows i love em. but its very much . 20 minutes of television. cool. 👍. im going to sleep now.
two. i a mcurrently reading a fanfiction that is the most play by play of a fanfiction that could ever be done. there's plucky Girl Best Friend. There's slutty Guy Friend who's like thats whats up love is love. what do you mean you're not dating. theres "so that just happened." and dated references . and mixtapes. it is Every Fanfiction. and. i think i am realizing. the reason that i never read plotted fanfiction is because most of the time its this. and it sucks. ive speent the last 100 pages going. ok. and when is it going to get fucked up. one of the characters is #SoNeurotic that he goes to therapy 4 times a week and is on antidepressants but he hasn't said something unforgivably cruel even once? if this was destiel fanfiction* there may not be any overarching conflict but at least ONE of them would be one. unmedicated. TWO. crazier than all get out. THREE. the most closeted man this world has ever seen. FOUR! have the sickest family background invented.
*passable destiel fanfiction. a level above bad and a level below good will hit this mark. good will also obviously hit this mark but the point i am making is that it's a fairly low bar that many destiel fanfictions leap over.
what am i saying. stream epota i guess. is the mesage.

one of these days, I, glider, will go on a long rant explaining to you based on a single line from rhoam's diary and a few implications that zelda actually does not wear her heart on her sleeve all the time, also that she's a harmed extrovert and not introverted, also that she's pretty entitled, also that she doesn't actually like frogs, also that her interest in tech could be part of a scheme to forego getting powers completely, also

I'm really sorry, that sounds so hard :((
Other people would mope around and be sad while the person is there, I'm the person who's going to be 'normal' and 'fine' and then when she's gone, I'm going to be very sad for a long time.
I don't want to make her second guess her decision to leave. I want her to leave happy and exited.
It's just that...I didn't even notice I was burying my feelings with fanfic until I ran out of my "to read" list. I was reading so fast I burned through all of them.
I can manage though...it's just two years...I mean, I didn't manage three months during the pandemic and we were separated, but this time, we have more warning! so...we're more prepared for it...

maybe i'm just being misogynistic
because there's no reason why i shouldn't like you
because i've met people who interrupt me before
because i've met people who talk too much before
because i've met people who travel to a country and don't know the language before
and they're ... fine?
there's so many aspects that i don't like in people across the world that just happen to be compounded in you. i value my friends for being people who Listen to me [1], for being people who wouldn't cut me off when i'm trying to say something
i value natural curiosity. if you wonder something and need to know the answer, why should i be the force that stops you from asking a question?
and your job is anthropology, you're an ethnographer. you're supposed to be curious and invade ask about people's lives like this. your Job is a direct descendant of the people that take take take stories out of people's communities.
but knowledge is supposed to be shared! the job can't be all that bad right?
and it's not like boys are socialized to ask questions [2]
and i'm jealous. because i feel like i have a delay in getting to know people [3]. and you manage to make people like you because you make them talk about themselves. you're able to invite people to your birthday party in a country that you've spent six (6) weeks in because you know how to make people like you
and how could i do anything you do? i can't go to a country where i don't speak the language (guilt). i can't bring myself to care enough about new people to ask them questions about their lives. i can't do it because i get overwhelmed and i need my ipad enrichment time [4]
but lately others have been catching on. they shush you when you're speaking over the waiter. they finish their sentence when you ask a question. sometimes they don't even answer your question. they look at Me when i'm talking and i put my hand out to shush you every time you interrupt me.
maybe i'm just being misogynistic. because you're a girl who talks a lot. i'm not either. and why should you have to burden my hatred?
---
[1] i almost had a falling out with a friend in high school bc they acted in a way that showed that they didn't listen to something i said. mind you this was in my (soft spoken) era. nobody could hear me say shit
[2] it's actually Impossible to receive gossip from a man. they never ask questions! follow me for more fun facts :)
[3] historically it takes me two (2) years to find Actual Friends whenever i switch schools / cities / places
[4] everyone should play hello kitty island adventure and stardew valley
---
tl;dr: i hate people who interrupt me or ignore mre and maybe i should just get over it
