I bet Parisian Police are FREAKING the FUCK OUT in universe
Roger, holding his notepad: …so he was murdered?
Bugnoire: …he sacrificed himself. You know. For Paris. Against Monarch. It was a valiant battle.
Roger: So he was murdered. Where’s his body?
Bugnoire: …gone?
Roger, waving towards Emilie: And his wife just…?
Bugnoire: …returned home. So Adrien wouldn’t be put in the system.
Roger: Ladybug, what the fuck, there were public enquiries—
Now the movie-verse is melting down too because
Roger: Ladybug, why did Gabriel Agreste give up? We need to know in case we pursue prosecution. It’ll decide how many years he gets.
Ladybug: The power of love <3
Roger: LADYBUG, HE STOPPED AFTER HUGGING CHAT NOIR
Ladybug: Yeah, bye now <3

“Ah, my dear it’s lovely to see you again. Smoking? Oh, I only do it once in a while to wind down, much to my darling friend Mr Utterson’s displeasure. I’ve started to take better care of myself, I’ve been told I appear happier and somewhat healthier by the maids around the manor. Come, Poole has just left us a pot of tea for us to share, I’d love to hear about how your day went today as well.”
((I headcanon that Jekyll occasionally smokes as a way to relax, and started when he was a young adult.))

fantasy au where will finds dragon eggs in his lil castle byers nook in the wilderness equivalent, but hardly anyone thinks they'll ever actually hatch even if they do indulge him and his fantasies about those old fossils.
still, will always makes sure to keep them safe and warm, tending to them with the same sweetness he treats all creatures. he talks to them so they're not lonely by telling them about his day as he's settling into bed and playing them music when he gets ready in the morning. he changes the blankets they nest in, wrapping them up nice and snug. he laces up his boots and ventures out to retrieve them always, no matter the weather, whenever lonnie's had enough of his delusions and thrown them away somewhere, hoping that he'll finally give up on this boyish folly of his.
mike is different, though. he's always had faith in will's dragon eggs, and he's actually the first person that will showed them to (something something it's part of those "special privileges" he's always bragging about to dustin and lucas). he made will a list of all the names he thinks might fit them, for when they hatch of course, and it's one that they're constantly adding to whenever they think of a new one.
will's never said it aloud, but while he fully supports this list, and appreciates it dearly, he's always intended on letting mike name the blue one whatever he so desires. they're his dragons, yes, but will trusts mike and he wants him to be a part of this. he is a part of this already, he always has been, and will would have it no other way.

WE ARE UNSUPER / the leaders
picrew credit
i've been meaning to introduce the leaders of unsuper properly but have never gotten around to it since there's so many and i am #lazy. here we are though! i'll introduce each leader and their location along with their advisors in the least spoilery way i can. continued under the cut cause it's pretty long!
LEADER OF UNSUPER - KAE MULLER - ABILITY: BLOODBATH
kae is the current leader and one of the founders of unsuper. because of how large the group has become, most leaders generally make their own decisions. however, when it comes to larger operations that are extremely risky— such as prison break-outs—they have to be approved by her. kae is currently in astiana due to unsuper having the most struggles there. kae is extremely well-respected around the world by superhumans, and disliked by everyone else.
ADVISED BY: VIENNA THOMPSON-MULLER, TEDDY, NADZIA, [REDACTED], [REDACTED]
MOON [REDACTED] - LED BY [REDACTED] - ABILITY: TRAVELLER
she's from the moon prisons. that's all i can really say.
ADVISED BY: [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED]
THE [REDACTED] - LED BY [REDACTED] - ABILITY: SKINSTEAL
not sure how to explain this one, but he does have to do with the grounders.
ADVISED BY: [REDACTED]
UNION CITY - LED BY ELIJAH REY - ABILITY: CONTROLLER
elijah is one of the founders of unsuper, and was officially appointed the leader of union city when he was 19 (2741). elijah has been trying to take kae's place in unsuper for years after having the most successful streak of missions and having the majority of unsuper already in union. he believes he can lead better, but many fear elijah is too violent and will destroy unsuper.
ADVISED BY: XANDER REY, KENNA CARIDEO
ASTIANA CITY - LED BY SHIVANI - ABILITY: FLYER
shivani is the newest leader of astiana in their rotating door of leaders. astiana has been struggling with a lack of construction superhumans due to the flood plague striking the city, leading to many floors and sectors collapsing to the ground. unsuper's numbers have been dwindling, and their focus is on evacuating as many as they can back to union.
ADVISED BY: NO ONE
UNDER ISLANDS - LED BY ANDRES KRUUS - ABILITY: WINDMILL
andres is another founder of unsuper, who left union after the assassination of savior romano in 2738. andres fled to the independent under cities where superhumans have more control due to the scattered islands rather than floating cities, along with smaller numbers. andres' focus is on building a city where superhumans can live freely and everyone works to keep the place running.
ADVISED BY: DAVI AGUILAR
DRY SUN CITIES - LED BY ZAHAVI - ABILITY: LUNG STEALER
zahavi is the leader of the dry sun cities, who founded his own superhuman rebel group during the first outbreak of the flood plague. the dsc had only recently began building their cities and was still very small and cramped. they had the largest amount of deaths from the plague in the shortest amount of time, and superhumans were being worked at a rapid pace to build new sectors. zahavi was approached by kae to work together after the plague cooled down, expanding his forces and creating unity for superhumans around the world.
ADVISED BY: IMANI, SAMUEL, NASRIYA
SPRING POWERS - LED BY ESTEBAN - ABILITY: GRAVITIER
esteban is the leader of the 'spring' powers, he joined unsuper after being approached by a recruiter during a job. esteban worked on the lowest sector building the structures that keep the city floating. esteban is closest to britta and often just goes with whatever her decision is.
SUMMER POWERS - LED BY MANAL - ABILITY: FLOODER
manal is the leader of the 'summer' powers. she joined unsuper two years ago after being rescued from the flood floors. elijah offered her the position after hearing about her objections to many of his plans, as her thoughts offer him different perspectives that help unsuper look better.
AUTUMN POWERS - LED BY DIANA - ABILITY: INCINERATOR
diana is the leader of 'autumn' powers, she joined unsuper on her own after discovering an undercover member on the street. she's been in the position the longest compared to the other three and holds the most respect from all of unsuper. diana is extremely close to kenna.
WINTER POWERS - LED BY BRITTA - ABILITY: ICIER
britta is the leader of the 'winter' powers. she joined unsuper at the same time as manal— they were from the same sector of the flood floors. she rose quickly through the ranks of unsuper as a raider and fighter, and was offered the position as leader a few months before. britta is not well-liked around unsuper because she's very unapproachable and mean.

ok not to randomly go off on a somewhat negative ramble But. (general genshin story direction worries basically)
while there are a bunch of stunts i fear the genshin story slash lore could end up pulling that would serve as not only disappointments but to varying degrees also just retroactively ruin a lot of games writing for me. i dont think theres anything that im as genuinely concerned about as the possibility of like. completely losing their narrative marbles to an overdone time travel/temporal manipulation in one way or another like just the thought of that shit haunts me
bc like. while i dont find them particularly compelling as an argument for that to be the case regarding Everything in the narrative in current lore/theory circles (like. makoto n ei teaming up w istaroth once doesnt automatically establish universal time travel). it is unfortunately true that in canon lore there are many of the kind of lore pieces present that you could use to set that kind of reveal and complete restructuring of the story up. istaroth and the sacred sakura and some shady things said by various characters and how you could argue Any time loop or travel adjacent is just hidden by the irminsul 5head (another piece of writing whose potential misuse seriously alarms me, mind you). and so on.
and i am just. Not about any of that shit. like. for me absolutely any plot device or element that has the risk of fundamentally fucking up a storys continuity and coherence sideways to the degree BOTH the
"genshins gonna turn out to be ALL time travel/time loop/simulation to make [sudden endgame twist X heavily at odds with what was established in the central lore prior] appear sensible"
and
"celestia just irminsuls away all evidence for [that twist X again] so achsually it was always genius and compatible with lore"
tier of nightmare scenarios will have. is just. Not fucking worth it. this shit has ruined countless stories with vastly better writing and way more competent authors because its just. not the kind of stuff you can just insert in a massive fucking story willy nilly to explain away the mystery box you didnt bother to set up together so it ultimately comes together in a cohesive way that Doesnt need to be broken on multiple levels to scrape together some conclusion. and its just hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and like ive never expected some massive masterpiece out of genshin like at best its gonna be one of those stories that once finished gets some really fucking banger fanwork as its community expands upon and explores a solid but flawed canon groundwork. theres fundamental flaws and limitations to its storytelling and format and that cant be helped. so im expecting no miracles on that front.
but the one fucking thing i dont want them to fall for is that misguided at best and outright pretentious and disrespectful at worst allure of. SEE! we outsmarted the audience! the theories! we broke our own story continuity to force a twist because our established worldbuilding technically makes it an option! isnt this smart!
like just please. no. no clue how unpopular this is but im already quite conflicted on the established use of irminsul in sumeru and how it arguably voided a lot of important characterization (nahidas inferiority complex) and narrative potential (scara literally becoming a non factor in the grander story more or less) for good but like. for now. fine. it hasnt become overused yet. i dont think its inherently bad as a factor of worldbuilding. i like how it recontextualizes fact and fiction and the significance of stories that appear mere fables in the world of teyvat. but as it stands the irminsul is still a deus ex machina. and thats a dangerous tool for any writer to have in careless use. and when combined with the sprinkles of lore involving the possibility of time manipulation and such to be further explored. its like powder and keg. two tools that can absolutely gut a story of its narrative cohesion and the weight of its stakes in an instant. its really fucking worrisome.
genshins writing is flawed but the one thing this game has going for it that i REALLY hope the writers will understand to respect is its world. how much the marriage between this massive and beautifully crafted immersive open world and the intricacies of lore and history afforded to all corners of it truly do in tandem to establish the world of genshin as more Real. as weightier. as a place you grow and remain attached to even when the main storys writing stumbles. the world is so important and to let it remain feeling real is just. i hope they understand how fragile of a gem that is.
featuring an artificial world order established by fraudulent divinity and that involving some degree of cosmic fuck-uppery of the natural order and all-encompassing illusion to maintain it is fine. this is a story heavily referencing gnosticism that theme is literally a given. but it needs to be an artificial world order imposed on a real world that remains feeling real the entire time through. and for that to be preserved it needs to remain grounded.
but the problem is that once a story truly commits to the "anything could be altered and fundamentally reversed with the right mcguffin at play with seeming impunity" there is no going back. it becomes very fucking difficult to keep the figurative feet of a narrative even touching the ground for even the most skilled of writers afforded absolute creative freedom to work with (which genshin does not have). and just that much more easier for the stakes to be lost completely. and i dont want to see that scenario become reality
