Here’s the cover page to an AU that I’ve been working on, Friends & Foes!
After the events of The Collector, Marinette is forced to come to terms with the idea that Adrien is most likely Papillon. Now that she knows the face behind the mask, she’s more determined than ever to befriend Adrien and convince him to join the side of good...
The only problem being Adrien is most definitely not the Papillon.
Unfortunately, the only person who could have cleared up this misunderstanding, the Guardian of the Miraculous, has once again gone into hiding, leaving room for misunderstandings to bloom- amongst other things.

Most of r1999 characters go by aliases or their first/last names, and so far I think there’s only been a few who've had their full names revealed. From what i can remember:
Shamane - Pushya Shamar
Ms. Moissan - Hannah Geier
Blonney - Jennifer Woods
Druvis III - Druvis Weyerhauser III
Rabies - Adam Miłosz
John Titor - I think you already know this one.
Edit for the other ones:
Baby Blue - Rebecca Jones
Tennant - Ada Tennant
Melania - Melania Ramirez
Do you know any more with their full names? I’m just curious to know how many people have those stated.

Dream's stage presence during the TWWTH tour was great, and frankly a lot more than I expected from a guy with little to no experience with live performances. I had no doubt he'd be good at it, but he truly blew me away. And the fact he was able to pull it off so soon after a major surgery that left him unable to walk on his own? Absolutely incredible
I really hope he decides to do another tour in the future, it would be awesome to see how well he could command an audience now that he has a better idea of what he's doing/doesn't have to rehearse through a recovery period

Barriss: "You understand...Miralans live for centuries. I will look almost exactly the same by the time your body starts to fail. I don't even know if you'll live long enough to witness my Midlife Crisis."
Ahsoka: "No, I can't die."
Barriss: "Ahsoka, someday, everyone has to--"
Ahsoka: "No, I mean I literally Cannot Die. I was given the life force of a divine being from another dimension while in a realm beyond time, and though I grew up to an adult, my montrals and lekku haven't striped a day past thirty since I was, well, thirty. And with all the stuff that's tried to kill me and failed, I don't see any surprises coming along, so, yeah. It looks like I'll be around forever."
Barriss: "....."
Ahsoka: "...it's weird for you to think about this from the other side, isn't it?"
Barriss: "Just a little."

Hello. It occurred to me recently that Hera is the only character of the main cast who is not named for an engineer/physicist/mathematician. Do u think this has any significance regarding her role on the team and her character, or not really?
(Also, the wiki says she's probably named for the Greek goddess Hera which has interesting connotations if it's true. There was also a NASA probe called Hera at some point I'm pretty sure, but I don't know which is the more likely namesake. I just enjoy the names in W359 because I am a physics student and it's fun to hear character names in all my classes.)
hi! i think the answer is kind of... yes and no? like, gabriel urbina has said his process of naming characters is first to choose a category to pick surnames from, to narrow down the options (so, in this case, famous scientists), and then to find given names that he thinks sound good with those surnames. so i don't think symbolism is the purpose, and i don't think it needs to be. but hera, obviously... doesn't have a last name. and so the way she was named (both in and out of universe) is different, and i think that does represent something.
first: hera is the mother program of the hephaestus. the hera of greek mythology is the mother of hephaestus and cast him out of the sky. the allusions are obviously intentional. (as are other mythology names in the show, but that's another topic.) second: a lot of real world things relating to space are named for mythology, and clearly cutter agrees that's how it should be done. but also: goddard's AIs share the same naming scheme with their spacecrafts. hera, rhea, eris, enlil, perseus, hyperion vs. hephaestus, hermes, tiamat, urania, valkyrie, sol. in one sense, this marks them as company property, people who are treated as equivalent to technology.
but, third: from a writing perspective, gabriel urbina has also said he only started getting a sense of who hera was when he started writing for michaela swee in the second episode; there's such a difference in how she's written just between those first two scripts. you can even see in the first recording script that her name was stylized HERA, as if it stood for something, like a much more standard AI character might have been named. which goes so far against what her name actually ended up representing that it retroactively becomes an in-universe microaggression.
and so, fourth: despite all of that, the real thing that makes hera's name stand apart is that it's a chosen name. it's offered to her, but not the way a name is given - it's a bribe, with the understanding it can be taken away from her. rachel says she can see what else is available if hera "has a problem with the etymology or any of the allusions," which is kind of interesting. but hera chooses to be hera. i don't think it's a stretch to say she has a deadname and a chosen name: that she has to introduce herself every time in a way that amounts to "i prefer to be called hera" and that her name is treated as optional and conditional, a reward for good behavior. if hera wanted to take a middle or last name, she would be choosing those, too.
i think ultimately names in wolf 359 are less about categorization and/or symbolism and more about identity. names are symbols that represent and contain the people who claim them. how people are referred to, when, and by whom - as well as how people refer to themselves by name as an act of self-determination, a reclamation of identity, or in defiance - is all central to the themes of the show. and, from that perspective, i think how hera is named (and what her name means to her, how she has had to construct and fight for parts of her identity that others are given as a default assumption) is significant, but i don't think it really sets her apart from the others when their names are treated in similar ways thematically.

okay so we took a HUGE break from seeing Asa, like she joined chainsaw man church and we just straight up stopped seeing her. and now we do, and she's totally confident in her abilities, she's telling yoru what to do and the plan, all that stuff. i know it's cause we were watching denji, and his story, but i feel like we missed a chunk of her character development and i feel a bit cheated bc of it!!! but i am excited to see what happens next with her and yoshida. hope she kicks his ass
