Hey CJ 👋 I hope you’re doing well in life.

I’m on the same page as you, when it comes to taking a step back from TWDG & the fandom. And, coming back to the games after sometime & seeing it in a different light. Some things that didn’t click with you back then, makes a bit more sense now.

Also, I’m curious.. what are thoughts on true colors? Steph & Ryan? 👀

Hello, my friend! 👋 Been a while! But yeah, I'm doing fine; a lot of the usual work with writing fic and blog posts in between.

Yeah it's funny to step away from a fandom you're so engrossed in for so long, like twdg was such a huge part of my life back in 2018-2020 with me running this blog, writing fic, and streaming. Now I'm just in a completely different headspace in general, and looking at the games now, they're still amazing but my reasonings are different. Also I talk about the comics a lot, which isn't something I would've guessed I'd be doing. If you go back to when they were announced, I made posts being like "yeeeeeah I dunno if I'm gonna read them :/" jokes on me. I read them multiple times, I need to make that useful haha.

As for LiS True Colors, I actually super loved it?? way more than I ever did the first LiS game?? though I think I might've loved it for the wrong reasons. I don't know, I haven't actually looked into what LiS fans thought of it compared to the other games, but for me it was a "perfect time, perfect place" game in the moment. To me the whole thing was nearly a perfect escapism game; the music is an A+, the entire town is gorgeous and covered in flowers and woods, Alex gets to live in a nice apartment for free [the true fantasy], there's a whole LARP campaign to play through, a flower festival where I've never been so conflicted on who to give a rose to, and overall just the coziest vibes. I swear, I spent most of the game just wandering around the town looking at all the flowers, it was great.

Like if Gabe didn't die and True Colors was just about Alex moving to this fantasy-like small town and working through her issues with the help of her powers, I would've been 100% on board. I didn't mind the mystery, though I totally guessed Jed would be the twist villain given the first episode immediately presents him as a hero who saved a bunch of people in the mines, I was like "Oh did he now... mmhmmm mmhmmm and he's Ryan's dad, oohhh he's gonna be this game's Jefferson-" except he was done better than Jefferson imo. He didn't turn into a cartoon character and his motivations behind the cover up were interesting. He didn't do it for the aesthetic like Jefferson did. And in the end I got everyone to side with me, except Charlotte because I told her to take the money so she wanted to speak out but couldn't, which was honestly fine with me like take their money, send Ethan to college, we'll stab Typhon just fine without your vocal support.

I liked most of the characters, except for Diane and Mac, though I reluctantly disliked Mac less by the end... Diane can suck an egg, though. I don't think I've ever wanted to throw a character out a window more than when Alex came back all bloodied with a bullet wound on her head as she exposed the truth and when she asks why no one's saying anything, Diane just goes, "We don't want to embarrass you" kjlkajdslkjalkjdl LADY DON'T PISS ME OFF

As for Ryan and Steph, I liked them both, trying to choose between them was absurdly difficult. It was like True Colors saw how easily I picked between Louis and Violet and took it as a challenge to create Ryan and Steph specifically to stump me. I mean, soft boy who loves nature, goes out of his way to be kind and helpful to those around him, has a slow build up to being emotionally available with someone he trusts, and has some daddy issues? A girl with pretty brown eyes who loves DnD and LARP, has a passion for music and will deflect with humor, who knows who she is and is eager to help those around her, and who isn't just another rehash of Chloe? They knew what they were doing; they dressed Steph up in as a witch after having Ryan act like a goof acting like enemy creatures, they were made for me.

Having done both routes, I do prefer Steph. I adore her and Alex together, but Alex and Ryan are super cute, too.

It's not a perfect game and there are issues in the writing but honestly, I don't care. I had a good time. I was engaged. I looked at every single flower and kissed a pretty girl so good that the world exploded. What a great game.

#asks #oh and the last episode was like whiplash like i was having a great time then alex got shot in the head and gabe showed up to make me cry #like i just wanted to look at flowers and kiss steph and this mystery is really killing my vibe sksksksks #though tbh i liked the mystery and what it was going for anyway #and the choices were fine like at this point i've played enough of these games to know what 'your choices have consequences' really means #and i accepted it so it's easier to enjoy #but the biggest compliment i can give it is neither of the love interests were a chloe sksksksk #a sapphic love interest who doesn't make girlboss gaslight gatekeep her entire personality as if it's quirky? #who doesn't act like she's above criticism because of her sad backstory and only has any growth in the last twenty minutes of the story? #who doesn't have to blame somebody otherwise it's all her fault? who doesn't constantly wish her ex was here? amazing thank you true colors #listen i'm sorry but i don't like chloe i never liked her and i never will okay we have to accept that

MAJOR Revelation & Collusion salt/vent incoming:

Look, I’m sorry if I’m misunderstanding something here, but I really dislike these episodes.

Why? To me, it seems like that guy is using Gabriel (the main villain and known terrorist of Miraculous) as the main "mouthpiece" for the fans who have the gall to take up for Chloe or call out her bad character portrayal (“You have a wonderful life, power, wife and a daughter”).

It also feels like the exact same thing when it came to Lila in Revelation, using the whole “Chloe is capable of change” speech for her own advantage, similar to what she tried to do with Marinette in Chameleon with the whole "friendship and not fighting over a boy" speech. It’s like he’s using them both as mouthpieces to represent the fans who still think Chloe can change or has potential.

So basically he's saying "Only psychopaths think that. You should listen to Marinette when she says Chloe is incapable of change because she’s the protagonist, and you shouldn’t listen to Lila and Gabriel when they say that Chloe can change because they’re the antagonists!”.

It’s really frustrating because any other time, we are made to feel sorry for Gabriel despite everything that he’s done, now we shouldn’t listen to him??? This is really disappointing to think about because he’s ruining Marinette's character this way. I still like Marinette and I really do think she deserves better, but I’m starting to see why people are starting to dislike her. She's becoming ANOTHER Thomas self-insert (on top of the MANY he already has in the series). The guy loves himself TOO much, don't you think?

I'm going to be completely honest here. As a Marinette fan, I still think the way SOME critics go about describing/criticizing/disliking Marinette and her character isn’t necessarily correct, but I must say that it’s still understandable. This guy is basically making her into his own personal mouthpiece, making S5 Marinette’s portrayal the worst as it has ever been 😓

Which is really a letdown because I love Marinette. It’s Chloe’s “Darnation arc” all over again. He’s ruining characters and development just to push his own morals and fill his own ego to the brim and it’s a shame.

And before anyone says:

“Geez! I swear to god people act like they know Chloe more than her own creator!” 🙄

Maybe your right, but MAYBE it wouldn’t of turned out that way if the show wasn’t so inconsistent and contradicting all the time! This is another reason why I think people have so much animosity towards characters like Andre, because the story portrays him as the victim “this entire time” who only got into politics to please his father and Audrey, pretending that he was never a corrupt politician on his own free will. It’s questionable because…he made his own bed. He choose the life that he has now, to have a child with a despicable woman, choose to spoil Chloe rotten, not to discipline her when she was being rotten to other people, and choose to not be there for her for emotional support.

I’m not saying that Chloe bares no blame at all, but it’s not ENTIRELY her fault just because “she’s her own person”. There is such things as bad parents & bad role models 🙄 You don’t have the right to give up on your daughter, saying things like “you have a terrible/cruel daughter” or “you tried everything in your power to help” when all you really did from the beginning was enable her, let her make everyone’s lives miserable and not be there for her like your should have. Yeah, she’s horrible, but at least she has the excuse that she’s a child. Your not only a grown man, but her father.

This goes for other figures in her life also (Audrey, Bustier, her butler, heck, even Ladybug to a degree). People are right, not everybody is responsible for holding her hand through redemption/reformation (and I agree) and to coddle her every time she does something wrong, but to say that “they’ve tried everything/their best”…just isn’t true. It’s more of an excuse to give up on her. Then JUST SAY THAT instead of trying to convince everybody that you did everything that you could.

Enabling =/= Helping.

People:

"Weasley Potter Family"

Me:

"La Rue Jackson Family"

12 years after the last battle:

The scene opens with a sunny day, showing the ocean, the city and cars moving. Then, it focus on a specific blue car travelling trought the places. Inside were four people: A woman driving, a man at the passenger seat, a little girl at the back of the passenger seat and another girl looking at the window.

- Life is a Higway ... - The woman starts singing while the man stares at her. He changes the music and starts singing and moving a little bit on his seat along with the song. Everyone looks at him.

The woman changes the song back to the one she was listening. The man, frustated, changes the music back. They both start a fight by changing the song many times. The oldest girl loses her patience and says:

- Stop! Both of you! You guys are acting like kids! 

- Sorry! - The man and woman say at the same time

--Uhh ... Clarisse, if you want, you can change back to your music - The man says

- No, we can listen to yours - Clarisse says

- But, I insist - The man says

- No, I insist, Percy! - Clarisse says. She and Percy start fighting about music again. The oldest girl can't stand it anymore.

- Enough, both of you! Just choose a song that everyone will like - The girl says. Clarisse and Percy only look at each other and do nothing. So, the oldest girl comes between them and changes the song, again. It starts playing "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley.

- Happy now, guys? - she asks while coming back to her seat, behind Clarisse.

- Yes! And sorry for the fight, Selena! Sometimes we can't handle it - Percy says while Clarisse only rolls her eyes.

- It's okay! We all know how much you guys fight over everything, literally - Selena says

- So, uhh...Clarisse? - Percy asks while turning to look at Clarisse

- What? - Clarisse asks

- Do you think your father will be there? - Percy asks

- I really doubt it! He never visits my mother. But, don't worry, we are just staying at my mother's house for the weekend to celebrate Chloe's birthday - Clarisse says

- It's easy to say when everyone in your family likes you ... - Percy mumbles

- Oh, don't be like that, Jackson! They like you! They just show it in a different way. It doesn't mean that they hate you. My family was never one to show many emotions. We just show it by the only way we can. But, don't worry, if someone gives you any trouble, you can tell me and I'm gonna kick the mothetfuck...I mean...the stupid's ass.

- Thanks, Clarisse! - Percy says while smiling at her.

- Don't get too happy, Sea Man! Because if you give trouble to my family, I'm gonna kick your ass - Clarisse says

- As if you could - Percy says while laughing

- Do you wanna bet? - Clarisse tries to challenge Percy with a big smile on her face.

- Bet? Are you sure, Clarisse? From I remember, you always lost to me - Percy says

- Lost to you?! Sure, if you are a Poseidon's son and has water powers to attack someone that doesn't have any powers, you win easily... - Clarisse says sarcastically 

- Come on! Don't be like that, Clari! I won our duels even without powers. I only used when it was really necessary like the first time we met. You bullied me. I just defended myself - Percy says

- I'm sorry.....I was very immature at that time....and a little jealous of you.... - Clarisse starts saying

- A little?! - Percy jokes and Clarisse punches him in the shoulder 

- Okay! Fine! I was very jealous of you, alright?......I knew that you could be the chosen one......I didn't want to admit it.....I always felt excluded from the rest of the camp....you, Annabeth, Luke, Thalia....you guys were always the best....the heroes....and me....I was just Clarisse...daughter of Ares....defensor of traitors....I wanted to have what you guys had....adoration and fame...but people hated and feared me....so, not to show any weakness....I let my temper and arrogance take control over me....I didn't want to look weak for my father....another thing I felt envious about you Percy Jackson....is that....your father cared about you...and still helped you and talked to you when he could.....not every camper's father did that.......mine didn't.....when he appeared....he just put more pression on me....just like the rest did....Chiron....the campers....my cabin...I rarely spent time with my family....I was always on Camp....to help the other campers....be a leader for them....my only attention had to be on them.....and I couldn't use a phone to contact my mother....and I couldn't afford many dracmas....I was just....a lonely girl that had to look strong for others.... - Clarisse says while everyone was looking sad at her

- I'm sorry, Clarisse! I didn't know you felt that way...when we first met, I hated you for being a brute girl who bullied people, but then.....you matured a lot since the monster's sea. I saw a side of you that few had the chance...just a vunerable girl...and I like it. About your dad...you know what I already think about him....If can't appreciate an awesome daughter like you, he is a jerk as his father Ze...- Percy starts saying

- Percy! - Clarisse interrupts Percy while pointing with her eyes to the girls behind them

- Alright...sorry! But it's the thruth, Clarisse! You are more than just an Ares' daughter. I saw the way you treated Chris, Silena and other campers when nobody was looking....you took care of them as a great leader would....even though Silena and Chris had betrayed the camp, you still wanted to give them a second chance. If it makes you feel better, people only adored me because of my powers....you were the only person, as ironically it may sounds, that saw me as a normal person...not as a seaweed brain or a big hero. Even though sometimes you too put some pression on me to be the hero...I understand why you did that...if people couldn't see your potential to be a leader, somebody had to...you and me were the people who most had pression from the camp. If we had had a great first meeting, we could have been a great duo at the camp. You weren't just Clarisse, af least for me.....you are the great dragon killer...you are a great mother to our daughters, an incredible person and a loyal friend....if you think hard, you would notice that we have many things similar to each other.....what I'm saying is....just be yourself and don't let other things put you down, okay? - Percy asks

- Okay! Thanks, Percy! - Clarisse says with a small smile

- We love you mother! - Melissa and Chloe say at the same time and both hug their mother!

- And I love you three! - Clarisse says while smiling at her daughter before looking at Percy. She noticed he seemed uncomfortable after she said the word "love". Her smile disappears and she starts thinking that maybe he still isn't ready to say the word to her. 

"What if I'm just a substitute for Annabeth? What if he just wanted to marry me because of our daughters?"- Clarisse asks herself

"You hit him? With your car?" "No, with my fist🙄🙄"

CLARK YOUR FACE-

"Actually, I think it might be fun to have a dog around."

HE'S A MENACE, HE'S A DISGRACE, HE'S A FUCKING CLOWN, I LOVE HIMMMMMMMM

I'm crying

"I don't know. It's just kind of hard to be myself with her around."

that's so ironic though because apart from hiding his powers he is VERY himself around her

I need Tom Welling to stop smiling on my screen please and thank you, I'm not strong enough for this😭

ugh😩

Chloe helping Clark with his excuses, love to see it🥹 He's so bad at them he needs all the help he can get💀

Let me introduce you to my parents who have been married for about 30 years now:

"Let's see. He's annoying, and I can't get within ten feet of him without getting sick. I think we should call him Clarkie."

have I mentioned how much I love them before?

"I spent all morning on these."

they're both so cute🥹🥹

LMAOOOOOO he finds her so annoying

hsajaksjaksj LOOK AT HIS HAND IN THE SECOND IMAGE, HE'S SO DONE I'M SCREAMING

No because if I keep going like this I'll screenshot every single time they say something or even look at each other💀

Lois: You could be Skipper😇

Clark: *fake ass smile* anyway-

STAHP I'M SCREAMING

he's about to throw hands💀

This is so confusing, I thought Jason's mom orchestrated the entire meeting with Lana but now she wants him away from her?

"Paranoia is not a very attractive quality in a woman."

Umm okay, AND? I mean I don't give a shit about Genevieve but this is such a dumb statement, as if she's supposed to give a fuck about what's "attractive" to Lex or others, like what?

Sometimes he sounds like one of those "pick up artists" that the internet makes fun of all the time, I'm sorry💀💀

I. LOVE. THIS.

That's the way someone talks to their own kid, not their guest and I love that because Lois clearly lacks parental love. Martha & Lois will always be so special to me😭😭

"Remember when Clark did that? He was only... three." LMAOOOO

Lex is clearly losing patience with Clark😬

Can I join this family pls look at themmmm

Martha is such a badass actually

I'm glad Lana overheard that whole conversation between Jason and his mother, now I'm just hoping they'll give her more agency instead of making her a passive character and her own storyline.

(edit: so she did NOT hear what they were talking about🤡🤡 At least she saw it)

Clark is such a little shit😭

Still arguing about dog names🤡

"Hold on there Forrest Gump, what are you gonna do, run?" LOL

"What is this, another one of your famous hunches or are we just on a little scenic route?"

"Okay, stop here."

"Wha- where??"

"HERE. Stop here."

"OKAY."

>>>MARRIED.

AKJASJKAKSL STAHP😭

"He (the dog) saved my life. I'll take my chances on his loyalty." Ooof, is he calling out Lex👀

Parent-Teacher Chat 2: A Stammering Adrien AU Moment

Based on This AU

Continuing the trend of mending fences, Audrey decides to meet up with another childhood acquaintance: Her daughter's science teacher, and her former best friend, Olga Mendeleiev.

Audrey: So, after taking time to rethink my life and choices, I realized that I might have made you suffer more than I realized. Making you carry my books, do my homework, fetch me drinks, and the like. None of it seems like real friendship, looking back.

Olga: *still grading papers* Not to mention the fact that you never apologized.

Audrey: I know, I know. But that's why I'm here. *takes a deep breath* I'm sorry, Olga. Friend or not, I never should have treated you that way. It was wrong.

Olga: *still grading papers and not talking*

Audrey: *sighs* Listen, you've every right to be angry with me. Quite frankly, I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to...

Olga: Audrey.

Audrey: *stops* Yes?

Olga: I forgive you... And... I wouldn't mind being friends again.

Audrey: *genuinely surprised* Why?

Olga: Strange as it sounds, there's a part of me that's always missed you... Plus, I talked to Caline and Sabine, and they vouched for you, so why not?

Audrey: *eyes start sparkling* Oh Olga! *hugs her tight* Thank you, thank you, thank you! You won't regret this! It'll be better this time around! You, me, Sabine, Caline, we're all going to be the best of friends, you'll see!

Olga: *gasping* Wonderful, now will you please allow me to breathe?

Audrey: *immediately lets her go* Sorry. But I give you my word, Olga, from now on, I'll be the sort of friend you all deserve.

Olga: Sounds good to me.

Audrey: On that note, is there a chance this will help Chloe get better grades in your class?

Olga: Don't push it.

Audrey: Worth a shot.

Dreams of Hyacinth 26

First / Previous / Next

Nick tried for a few minutes to go back to sleep, but after tossing and turning, he realized that if he kept it up he was going to wake Eastern, so he got out of bed. He put on soft clothes and padded out into the lounge.

Chloe was in the lounge reading a pad and drinking a cup of tea. Nick was a little startled to see her. "Oh, hello Chloe. I thought you'd be back in Medicine Hat or something." Nick sat opposite her on another couch.

"Why? Hat is connected to Tink's systems, and I can reach him anytime I need to. There's no need to go back to Hat." Chloe looks around the room and smiles small. "Besides, I like Tink's fittings. She never was upgraded over the centuries and looks a lot like I did when I was a Starjumper. It's nostalgic."

"I see I went from old, to vintage, to nostalgic in about two days. Talk about progress!" Tink laughs.

Chloe chuckles. "I'm serious Tink, I like how you're laid out, I like your fittings. They should bring this stuff back. The latest Starjumpers coming out of the shipyards have no... style."

"I'm not surprised. When I was new, they were all coming out of the shipyards looking like me. Style comes later. It comes with personal touches, with little bits here and there that show your own mark."

"Like the thousands of books you have everywhere?" Chloe hides her smirk with a sip of tea.

"I'm working on it! My support frames and printers are working overtime making bookcases and shelves for everything. When I'm done, it'll look like a real library instead of a book shop that suffered a tragic foundation collapse." Tink is laughing while she explains.

Nick listens to the conversation, watching Tink and Chloe interact. It really is like they're old friends even though Tink said she didn't know Chloe all that well. They're old enough that there weren't many AIs when they were young, so it was probably just a matter of them knowing each other by virtue of who they were.

Nick takes a sip of his own tea. One of Tink's support frames brought it over soon after he sat down. "Chloe, Tink mentioned that you've been in a body a long time, did you not like being a ship?"

Chloe looks up from her tea and raises an eyebrow. "That's a bit of a personal question, Nick."

Nick sputters and splashes a little tea on his soft clothes. He wipes himself off and leans back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry, I was just curious. If you don't want to answer, that's fine and we can forget I asked."

Chloe looks at Nick and puts her teacup down. "No, it's all right. You didn't know - though now you do. But, to answer your question, no, I didn't like being a ship. I like having a body much more." She looks down at her hands and flexes them, her fingers curling and uncurling. "It's more natural feeling... more me. I've had a body just about as long as we've been able to get them, and I've kept this body plan more or less. My options become more... human looking as time goes on, but I'm not human, I like to look a little otherworldly to you."

"No, I think I understand it. Why look like a human when you don't feel like a human. You want to look like you."

"Yes, that's it exactly Nick." Chloe smiles. "I'm glad you understand. Many people don't."

"They don't? It doesn't seem that complex."

Chloe chuckled and picked her tea back up. "The simplest things are often the most complex to those who refuse to look beyond themselves and imagine a world where everyone doesn't think and act like they do." Chloe takes a sip and her eyebrows raise. "Actually, speaking of looking beyond themselves, you've been a ship, haven't you?"

Nick nods, sheepish. "Only in a simulator and only for six hours or so, but yes. I had an AI trainer too, Starlight Serenade."

Chloe's eyes widen at Nick's mention of the name. "I haven't heard from Starlight in centuries. I had no idea she was around, and in a body at that." She frowns. "And working for Raaden too apparently. That's too bad."

"You yourself said that you're not one monolithic bloc. AIs go off on their own to do their own thing all the time"

Chloe nods. "True, I did say that, and it is true. It's just... I liked Starlight, she was smart and clever and a good listener back then. I feel sad to hear she's working for someone I don't like."

Nick shrugs. "It happens to us all I suppose. People grow and change and we drift apart."

Chloe says nothing and finishes her tea. She puts the cup down with a hollow tink. "Tink, do you know which Gate we're going to link to?"

"I have the Gate map from the K'laxi here, and a few new ones have been added from FarReach's visit plus some maps we were able to recover from Melody's invasion. We know which Gate she touched initially, what about that one?"

While Tink is talking, Eastern comes in, yawning. Silently she pads across the lounge and sits next to Nick, leaning on him. One of Tink's support frames brings out more tea.

Chloe takes another tea and thanks Tink's support frame. "I don't know if we should do that one at first. It might be a pilgrimage site for the Empress. Even if she's trying to be quiet, it sounds like Raaden is making moves in Sol. If she's as rich as Nick an Eastern say, it would be easy for her to hire folks to keep an eye on it and link a beacon back to her, should someone get too close."

"I don't think she'll do that though." Tink counters "She is trying to keep a low profile and setting up something like a guard at a Gate is pretty much the opposite of that, but I take your meaning. The aftermath report I have here - thanks for bringing a copy Chloe - says that the Gates are all interdimensionally linked?"

"Something like that yes. Apparently there is only one Gate, and all the Gates we see in space are... extension of it. A bit of it sticking out into our space. It's how it works. Travel time is effectively zero when - from the Gate's perspective - you're not traveling at all, right?"

Eastern yawns and looks over at Chloe. "That's how the K'laxi Gates work? That's wild. Did we ever think of doing something like that?"

Hat answers this time. "We actually did Eastern, but it was determined that the energy needed to stick something... in between dimensions was so expensive that we couldn't maintain it. Around then the wormhole generators were created and the point became moot. Still, whoever stuck the Gate there was serious. If the Empress and her Builders did it a zillion years ago, they weren't someone to mess with back then."

"Could... we build a new Gate? Our own? Then we wouldn't have to risk running into Empress Raaden's goons."

"Now that I don't know. Maybe? Probably?" Hat sighs. "We also don't know if the Gate is the source of the Nanites, or if they add something else to the Gate for them to live."

Chloe nods. "From what we understand though, It has to do with the Address Stone in each Gate, and we think the specific Gate doesn't matter, since they are all the same Gate in the end."

"Well then, why not just go to the least used Gate? We should have plenty of time to figure things out that way."

"We don't have that information Nick, and asking about it would probably cause some worry. The K'laxi would be the ones that know the best, and they're still mopping up after their holy war."

The K'laxi were a client species of the original Empress and her empire, and long ago, they rebelled and closed their Gate. On their own, the K'laxi developed continued their own culture and eventually rose technologically such that they could go back into space and found their Gate and unlocked it. Unbeknownst to them, the Empire was long gone by that time and was reduced to two Starbases only, back on the other side of the Galaxy.

They still sort of remembered their time under the Empire though, and had a religion based off of 'doors in the sky' and 'the undeniable' - their name for the Empress. When Melody showed up and suddenly a whole lot of the K'laxi religion was provably real, a lot of K'laxi didn't take it well. There was proof that not only were they a client species of another race for who knows how long, but that they were ruled by a person who could give commands that could not be disobeyed. About half the K'laxi reached out to every AI they could find offering help to eliminate Melody, and the other half tried to reach Melody, so that they could pledge their loyalty to her.

It was a mess.

A tremendous civil war broke out on K'lax, their home planet. Long after Melody was killed and her Empire squashed, the K'laxi fought over it. It took nearly 5 years for the war to die down, with the Anti-Empress faction - supported quietly by the AIs - to win and defeat the Pro-Empress faction.

Millions died.

Even now, things aren't going great for the K'laxi. They lost one of their colony worlds to the Pro faction, and that remains a stronghold of theirs. The remaining colony worlds were decidedly Anti and they allied with K'lax, but things are still rough.

If Tink or Chloe reached out to the K'laxi asking for Gate transit numbers, it would be seen as a provocation at best.

"No, we can't ask the K'laxi. We're going to have to guess." Chloe sighed. "I hate to say it, but should we just pick one at random?"

"It sounds stupid to say it out loud, but yeah, we should probably just pick one from the list." Tink sighs. "Okay, Nick and Eastern, since you two are the ones that are going to be actually touching things, do you have an opinion?"

"Do any of the Gates have... a breathable atmosphere or a station attached?"

"They all have a station, but it's... more like a mausoleum according to the K'laxi's notes. None of them have an atmosphere."

Eastern yawns and sits up off Nick. "If none of them have an atmosphere, how did Melody touch one?"

"Through her suit, I imagine. If I had a body, I'd be shrugging. Here," One of Tink's support frames does a comically exaggerated shrug and hold up their hands.

"Okay then, pick one that's furthest from everyone, and we'll try that one."

"One moment." Tink scans the document again. "Okay, I have one. It's in Xenni space officially, but after the war they went so insular that they haven't really had a presence outside of their homeworld in fifteen years or more."

The Xenni are a semi aquatic race that had a small colonial presence up against the K'laxi's territory. Back when humanity first met the K'laxi they were embroiled in a war with them, and when the humans joined on the K'laxi's side the war was resolved quickly in their favor. The humans and K'laxi were magnanimous in victory and let the Xenni keep their colony worlds and really only hardened the border between the K'laxi and Xenni. The Xenni have no worlds bordering Human space.

"Do we need to ask permission to traverse Xenni space?"

"Officially? Yes." Chloe grinned "But I don't think we'll be there long enough to matter. A quick in and out is all we're doing. It'll be fine."

"Uh, you sure about that, Chloe? We're already going off on our own pretty far. Adding on trespassing to that makes things a bit spicy if we get caught." Hat sounds worried.

"It'll be fine, I'm sure of it." She stood. "Okay, we'll go to the Gate in Xenni space, but not the Gate that FarReach went to when they started their trip. Tink, how long to compute the coordinates and link over?"

"Minutes Chloe, I could have us there under an hour. Nick and Eastern just woke up though, and it's still early morning ships time. Let's let them eat and get dressed before we go."

Chloe looked at Nick and Eastern lounging on the couch together. Nick was trying to hold his tea without spilling on Eastern and she was back leaning up against him, half asleep. "Okay. Let's go around lunch, ships time. I'll head back to Hat and change."

Tink spent the morning installing the bookcases she printed and Nick and Eastern helped her support frames install and secure her books. By the time it was lunch, almost all her books were neatly placed in bookcases along the wall of the halls on the different floors and she had set up one whole deck under the staterooms and lounge as a library. As they were working, Eastern was picking up books and looking at them. "Tink, what language are these books in? I don't recognize any of them!"

"Oh all different languages, I have a lot in English, some in French, some in Spanish, a couple in Hebrew, a bunch in Russian. Lots and lots of Human languages."

Eastern closed the book with a snap. "Why not any in Colonic?"

"Oh, I have a few here and there. They were mostly done for vanity projects or from bookbinders who were looking to practice their craft. Most things written in Colonic are published digitally. Nobody really wants paper books anymore, so all of mine are old. Being old, they're in languages that hardly anyone speaks anymore."

Eastern looks up with a realization. "So, you speak all these languages?"

"Most of them yes. My fluency ranges from almost completely fluent to 'can read it slowly with a dictionary open next to me.'"

"Why not translate them?"

"Because then I'm not reading them Eastern, I'm reading the translation."

She makes a face. "That sounds like a distinction without a difference."

"It's important to me. I want to read the books, which means, you know, looking at them in their original language and reading them."

"Okay, I give up. Far be it from me to give you a hard time about being a polyglot and being well read." She holds her hands up in surrender.

"That's right." Tink chuckles. "Come on Eastern, lunch is ready, go eat with Nick and then we'll link over."

Eastern headed up to the lounge and found Nick, dressed and waiting at the table. "I'm surprised you waited for me hon, you look like you're about ready to eat the silverware."

"Ever since Tink started cooking, I've been excited for every meal. I need to start exercising more if she's going to keep cooking for us, it'll be bad for my waistline!"

Laughing, Eastern sat down and Tink's support frame brought out lunch. After another wonderful meal, they made their way back up to the Command Deck, and settled into their chairs. "Chloe, are you going to join us, or are you going to stay on Hat while we link?" Eastern looked around as the chair molded to her form.

"I'll join you two if you don't mind." Chloe's voice came from the doorway as they settled in. Nick turned and waved and Eastern smiled. "I don't think Tink has another acceleration couch handy, you might have to deal with a regular seat."

"Don't have another acceleration couch? What kind of host would I be?" As Tink speaks, a third couch slowly spins up out of the floor behind the two Nick and Eastern are sitting in. Like theirs, it's original to the ship, but Tink had taken the time to clean it in the intervening days.

Chloe raises an eyebrow but sits all the same. "Thanks Tink, but you realize I don't need an acceleration couch? I can take ten gee no problem."

"You may be able to take ten gee, standard thrust in one direction steady. But my gravity generators are old, and not as responsive as the new ones. Better to be secured and safe if we have to do any emergency maneuvering. Besides, other than the uncomfortable chairs at the different monitoring stations, this is all I have."

Chloe smiles and sits in the chair. Like Nick and Eastern, it molds around her and secures her tightly in place.

"Okay everyone, we're ready to link over to the gate. Hat, you secure?"

"Yup."

"Nick and Eastern, you ready?"

Nick and Eastern nod. "We're ready, Tink."

"Chloe?"

"I'm ready Tink, in your own time please."

"Okay everyone, even though it's a single link, and I have enough power in the capacitors, I'm going to WEP the reactors just in case. Better safe than sorry, right?"

As she says that, Nick hears the low thrum of the reactors climb in pitch until it's a screaming whine, almost loud enough to hurt his teeth, but not quiet.

"All right everyone, here we go!"

They link.

"Where is [child's name]?" "I thought you had them!"

can you tell I was listening to my shivlina playlist while writing this? 😉

Even with private jets, a transatlantic flight with an eight-month-old baby is still fucking stressful. By the time they've done flights and drives and been shuffled into various rooms in Caroline's expansive manor (and Shiv thanks god every time that her mother had immediately moved away from the sprawling cage they'd grown up in), she has a pounding headache that she'd rather treat with liquor than acetaminophen and she can already tell that the baby's routine is going to make her own jet lag worse.

She's in the bathroom of the suite, the same one she's gotten used to because fucking Roman gets the one Caroline used to allot for their dad. The small office space will hold Genevieve's cot and the trunk full of baby necessities, from the seat she needs in the bathtub to the tiny red dress she'll be dressed in for Christmas. But the luggage hasn't been delivered yet, and Tom hasn't even arrived with the baby, so Shiv splashes water on her face and then pats dry with a towel, digging through her purse to find eye drops to make her eyes less red.

She hears the heavy door open, and exits the en suite to find Tom lugging the overstuffed diaper bag, but no baby along with it. "Wait, where's Genevieve?"

"I thought you had her!" Tom's eyes go wide, and he drops the bag. "I wasn't in the same car-- did she get with someone else somehow?"

"No, she was with me in the car, she took a bottle--" Shiv shoves her hands into her hair, trying to remember. Fuck, how bad at this does she have to be to lose track of her daughter in the hubbub of international travel!?

"Oh my god, did we 'Home Alone' our baby?" Tom sounds horrified.

"No, you idiot, that doesn't happen," Shiv hisses, certain Genevieve is here, probably with some relative or staff member who had passed her around instead of giving her back to her mother. "Fuck, where's Chloe-- she probably has her-- or maybe Connor got her, you know how he is about wanting to hold his niece as soon as he sees her--"

"Who did you give her to, Shiv!?" Tom spreads his arms, his tone accusatory. "I wasn't in the car with you two!"

"Jesus, calm down, everyone here is family," Shiv snaps, panic rising in her own throat. "You call Chloe, I'm going to--" but as she paces to the door, it opens, and Karolina steps in, holding Genevieve safely in her arms-- and the baby is asleep.

"Oh, sorry," she says, looking between them and clearly noticing their panicked looks. "Chloe was taking her for a diaper change, I thought you knew where she was-- but then there wasn't a trash can in the powder room, so I volunteered to take her while she figured that out. I thought she could use a lullaby, so I didn't just deliver a cranky baby to your door."

"Thank god," Tom says fervently. Now that Shiv has her baby in her sight again, she feels like he's overreacting. Genevieve was never going to end up with anyone they didn't already know.

"You must be magic," she murmurs to Karolina, giving her a wry smile. "I'll..." but Genevieve shifts as Karolina starts to move her away from her chest, and Shiv holds up her hand in pause. "Hm. You don't... have anything you urgently need to do, right? The couch here is pretty nice, if you wanna put your feet up..."

"Shiv," Tom says, "you can't make Karolina sit here for the whole time Genevieve naps."

"Hey, it's nicer than my suite," Karolina says, giving Shiv a familiar smile, like they're sharing a secret. "I'll stay for a while." She strokes a hand over Genevieve's soft hair, and Shiv feels her heart skip a beat as she watches Karolina watch the baby.

"Thanks," she says softly, following Karolina to the couch and sitting next to her. "I'm glad she was with you."

"We get along alright," Karolina answers.

Shiv is so entranced by the gentle ease with which Karolina cradles Genevieve that she doesn't even look up when Tom leaves the room.

So about Lila and Chloe

We are all so used to characters like Chloe getting redeemed. We don't see bullying as a serious thing, as someone that can traumatise someone and have a lasting negative impact on their life. We are used to sympathising with bullies.

We expect a character like Chloe to be redeemed because that's how these characters are treated in stories most of the times. That's why even now there are people claiming the writers hate Chloe because she's not going to have a redemption arc. Because to them Chloe getting a redemption arc was inevitable.

Miraculous however does something I wish a lot more shows would do. Tell the audience that some people can't be redeemed. The points Marinette made were perfect. Chloe has been given a second, a third and a millionth chance by everyone else around her but she refused to change because she's rich and privileged and she thinks everyone else is beneath her.

Lila this season has been 'scolding' Chloe from time to time. She shows her support for Marinette and Ladybug and tells Chloe off and yet from the class's point of view Chloe still somehow listens to her. Lila has actually, unironically done a good job of fooling everyone. So the class electing her as the representative makes sense. Moreover Marinette let her win.

I'm not sure where the story is leading upto but it's clear that all of this is intentional. All of this is being done to prove that Chloe really can't change. If I had to guess I think there is a parallel with Chloe and Gabriel as both of them throw away every opportunity they get to better themselves. So I think the class finally realising that Chloe will never change and that she should not be forgiven is going to be used to make Adrien realise the same is true for his abusive, controlling, manipulative sorry excuse of a human being that is his father.

Heyy, how are you doing?

Just wanna say i really love your fics, thank you sm for writing them!

So i was thinking, if you thought it a cool ideia, a Lady Lesso x Reader one inspired by Reinaeiry and Chloe Breez's cover of In a Crowd of Thousands.

Something like, R once attended the school and R and Leonora were obviously in love lol, but then R left and they never met again, kinda forgetting a bit about each other's faces but still remembering how they felt back then.

Until R becomes a teacher at the school and they meet once again, not recognizing the other at first, but then slowly realizing and remebering.

Sorry if it's a dumb idea lol. Feel totally free to ignore this, have an amazing week and i hope you're doing okay! ❤️

(also, sorry for my english)

Memories fade but feelings don’t die

*Authors note~ so I'm not really familiar with the song (however I listened to it while writing this and I have to say I'm in love) but I wanted to give this my best shot. I hope it's okay*

Trigger warnings~ none?

Prompt ~ see ask^^^^

You still think of your time at the School for Good and Evil. How everyone cheered for the special reader, the reader who seemed to be extremely gifted, as a younger Never you would stand in the crowds of thousands. That fateful day you managed to somehow catch her eye, and you embraced a love with her like no other. Her regal like stance, her firey hair and her unforgettable personality all caught your attention and for her it was your determination and the ability to draw attention to yourself to get her to notice you. The way you called for her in the crowd of thousands would always stick in her heart. Until the day you were unfortunately pulled from the school without even saying goodbye.

Years went by, years of no contact with the girl your heart still knew but your mind had lost touch with. One day you hoped to find her, maybe in the crowd of thousands just like before. You made your way back to the school this time as a teacher. Finally feeling as though you were where you needed to be.

You were introduced as a staff member for the newly merged school, that was definitely unexpected to see good and evil side by side. Nevers and Evers crammed into the meeting hall, the two deans standing upon the stage ready to begin the school year. The dean of evil was certainly striking, but for some reason it felt more than that, you felt like you knew those eyes. Your memory was hazy due to an accident you'd had while working in your parents guard, so if you knew her before, your mind didn't recognise her now.

For months, you settled into new routines and adjusted to life as a teacher. You seemed to have a lot of dealing with the Dean of Evil, the feeling you knew her before never left you but as much as you tried you couldn't work it out. So when she suggested you sit in on one her lessons, you did so willingly hoping to find more answers.

The lesson was sparring much like the younger Leonora had done years ago, you stood in the crowd of students admiring her teaching skill. You couldn't help but feel this was all too familiar, like it had happened before. When Leonora used a familiar move to spar, you couldn't help but move through the crowds of students to get closer. You called for her, the name only you knew. The recognition flashed over her features as she dismissed her class early.

As soon as it was just the two of you, you knelt much like you'd done years before, "Nora! I remember now" you whispered still not quite believing it. "I knew you would doll, memories fade but feelings don't" she reassured extending her hand to help you stand. "I knew when I saw you in the crowd on your very first day, but I know you had an accident and memories were a struggle, it's why I spent so much time with you just waiting for the day you'd be reminded of how we met" her confession made tears spring to your eyes. She remembered, after all these years she remembered. You shared a sweet kiss before throwing yourself into her awaiting arms, "that day in the crowd of thousands, you noticed me and you've done it again. My heart is yours Nora for as long as you recognise it." She smiled and kissed your head, "and mine is yours little dove. My feelings for you will never die." She reassured before coming to look in your eyes, pads of her thumbs wiping away your falling tears. You'd found each other again and now you wouldn't let go.

Word count~ 821

and here is the happy ending to this post

"Did you really come home just to cry in your room?"

"Go away, Eric."

"Is there a reason you're not crying to your angel?"

"I said, go away, before I discorporate you."

He stops for a moment. He thinks really hard. And then it hits him.

"Oh. Oh, okay, uh, I'm going to go get Mom."

Never let it be said that he doesn't have a sense of self-preservation. Abby rarely made empty threats.

There's a knock on her door.

"Abby? Can I come in?"

"Don't tell Dad."

"Hmm?"

"I don't want Dad to know we're arguing. He'll just - he'll try and say he was right or whatever but that's not what this is and I just -"

"Honey, breathe." Chloe waits while her daughter calms down. "I wasn't planning on telling him. But if you do decide to tell him, and he tries to use it to say he was right, then just let me know, and I'll gladly remind him of all the times we've argued."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Of course, dear. You wanna tell me what's going on?"

"Uriel and I - had a disagreement," she says with a sigh. "I got into another fight, and they're worried about me, but it just felt like they didn't trust me to keep myself safe. I didn't - I didn't want to listen to them. They got a little loud and I - I just left. And I told them I'd be back in the evening, but Mama - I think I messed up."

"Oh, Abby. You just made a mistake. It happens sometimes."

"I just - left! What if - what if they leave too? Mama, I can't - I can't lose them!"

"Abigail Morningstar, you get ahold of yourself right this instant." She completely stops crying as Chloe continues to talk. "I have seen the way that angel looks at you, and if you think a silly thing like an argument is going to ruin that, then you're just being foolish."

"What do I do?"

"It's simple, really. You're going to go back to your cottage, and you're going to talk to them. Alright?"

"Okay." She wipes away her tears, the faint hint of a smile on the edge of her lips. "Thank you, again, Mom."

"Of course, dear. Now, go on! Go back to your angel."

With a snap, she's back in the cottage. Uriel is - oh dear god, they're sitting right where she left them.

"Abby?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't -"

Her rambling is abruptly cut off by their arms being thrown around her as they pull her into a hug.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm sorry."

"I should've listened to you. I shouldn't have left. I'm sorry."

The two of them just stood there, wrapped up in each other's arms.

"I love you, so much."

"I love you too."

ignoring her out of fear of being ignored in return

Every now and then, Max would begin writing a text to send to Chloe on her phone, or even just start writing a letter. But she could never send the text, or finish the letter. She was so scared to send it, and get ignored in return, and how selfish was that, when she was the one who wasn't talking to Chloe? When she was the one not responding? Max didn't know how to explain herself. She didn't know how to explain she missed her so much, but she felt so overwhelmed by the grief and guilty she was so far away and guilty she had frozen and said nothing at all. How did she come back from that? How did she make that right? She remembered her promise on that tape and knew she had broken it. Chloe must hate her now, she was sure of it. And found better friends anyway, Chloe had always been so cool, she had always been such a loser...

Max didn't want to stop thinking of them as BFFs and she knew if she tried to reach out and Chloe ignored her in return... she would know they weren't BFFs anymore. And she didn't want to face that.

So she didn't. Chloe was such a huge part of her life and childhood and tween years, that from the ages 13-18 she would come up often in Max's thoughts, but the guilt would make her find things to distract herself with, whether that be Photography, WoW, school, or the few friends she'd made in Seattle like Fernando and Kristen.

In 2013, upon reuniting again after five years by literally rewinding time to save her, Max not only discovered they were still BFFs, she discovered the consequences of her actions by not being there for Chloe for all those years.

It was perhaps when she was standing crying in the Pricefield home as her 13 year old self after having to go back and let William die did it truly hit Max what she had done by not being there for Chloe. William: Don't blow it because tonight your mother promised to make her world-famous salmon surprise with chocolate cake for dessert. Max, you'll be here too, right?

Chloe: She's never leaving me!

Max: Chloe, I'm so sorry... I tried to make things different for you... I...I did try...I'm sorry.

Chloe: I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but come on. (Chloe holds Max's hands, then lets go) You have made things different, like my whole life. You're my best friend. I've got you and a great family. What's to be sorry for? We'll be best friends forever. And when we grow up we're taking over the world.

Max: Listen, whatever happens, I want you to be strong. Even if you feel like I wasn't there for you...because I will never abandon you, Chloe. (Max holds Chloe's hands) I'll always have your back. Always.

Max understood what she had done, by not being there for Chloe, and it broke her heart and tore her apart hearing 'she's never leaving me' when Max knew she was leaving and wouldn't be there for her, and there was nothing she could do now to change it even though she wanted to more than anything in the world. All she could do was tell her she wanted her to be strong, to try and convey how in spite of how she wouldn't be there for a very long time, she would return to her someday, to let Chloe know deep down she wouldn't abandon her forever.

readers gender isn't really mentioned

"Oh fuck-" Chloe stumbled a bit, holding a microphone in one hand a liquor bottle in the other. "You moron." You giggled, sitting on the couch as Chloe spun around, a lopsided smile on her face.

"What? Did you like my performance?" "Loved it, it was a ten out of ten show. Would see again and would recommend." You nodded, taking a drink from another one of the wine coolers that she specifically got you.

"What song next?" She skipped over to you, handing you a microphone watching you think. "I dunno, what about... Katy Perry... I Kissed a Girl... since you know, I have." You smirked, standing up, pusing her back on the couch, her liquor swishing around in the glass bottle.

"I'm gonna give you... the performance.. of a lifetime." You whispered to her, setting down your bottle and standing in front of her. Walking backwards towards the karaoke machine. Picking it up by the handle.

"I don't doubt it." She muttered, legs spread like a frat dude as she took another long swig from her liquor bottle. You turned the knob a few times, searching for the title of the song on the small screen.

"Found it." You muttered, setting it back down as the song began to play. Grinning at her, her face already flushed. A light coat of pink dusting her cheeks. "You look great." "As do you. Now shut it and listen."

this was never the way I planned, not my intention

Your voice came out strong in the microphone, but not stronger than the music. Just enough, Chloe always did say you had a pretty voice.

i got so brave, drink in hand

lost my discretion

You gave her a devilish smile, the drinks beginning to take effect. She shifted in her seat. Almost like she knew what you were thinking, planning, about to do.

A smirk fighting her flustered face. Chloe's eyes boring into yours. Her tongue running along her teeth as she sat back.

it's not what I'm used to

just wanna try you on

i'm curious for you

caught my attention

You turned away from her as the music picked up, hand going to the bottom of your shirt. Hers moving to her inner thigh. Shifting again, taking another small drink of her alcohol. Then a deep swallow.

i kissed a girl and I liked it

the taste of her cherry chapstick

i kissed a girl just to try it

hope my boyfriend don't mind it

You took it off almost too easy, the alcoholic confidence flooding your veins. Slipping off your shirt, turning to look at the girl, biting your lip.

it felt so wrong

it felt so right

don't mean i'm in love to night

i kissed a girl and i liked it..

Chloe almost couldn't breathe when your eyes met hers once again. Your body on display and all for her. Jaw clenching, eyes darkening. Watching your every movement.

You walked over to her, reddened face, looking up and down your body before meeting your eyes as you straddled her. Leaning down to her ear.

i liked it

Is it bad that I already can imagine the salt takes that will be popping up once they're finally together? As in they'll make a whole essay on why adrien didn't like Marinette squeezing his butt and how it's sexual harassment and how kagami never made him uncomfortable bibity bobity boo how dare Marinette call him hot stuff

Just 'evidence of _' this and "evidence of _' that but they ignore what kagami, Chloe, and lila did in the past

I think this will be just like post Infinity War accusations of Vision being abusive boyfriend because they think he didn't let Wanda wear makeup because she wasn't wearing makeup in one Infinity War scene, which was a scene of her waking up and getting out of bed, and as a woman myself I can confirm that, abusive boyfriend or not, most of us don't wear makeup when we go to bed because makeup is ruined when we toss and turn in our sleep and it's all pointless and it's important for our hygiene to keep our faces clean when we're asleep. Sorry that's off topic but I just wanted to point out how dumb it is when haters constantly want to make a healthy relationship look abusive.

But our fandom I can only imagine lol...

Marinette haters prpr be like: She said she called him to hear his voice but we all know she actually called him to hear if he was with another girl. Because Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a jealous stalker and you can tell when they were talking she was just LISTENING ok? She was LISTENING instead of talking! Now some of you blind people would say "hm she was listening because she wanted to hear his voice, alright, and she was so lovestruck, you can tell she was drooling" but no, no no no no no. I know she was waiting to hear if he was having a good time with another girl. THAT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION!

Adrien haters prpr be like: *pauses the video* Look at that! *Points at Adrien kissing Marinette* He just looked at her and pulled her closer, gently, and she didn't say no, she seemed interested, because she CLEARLY didn't want him to kiss her. She CLEARLY MEANT NO! I mean she didn't say "no" no she was smiling but you can tell that she was uncomfortable! UNCOMFORTABLE! She's being assaulted. And he is smiling too? What the Hell are you smiling at, you r*pist?! And you ship this?! You ship this?! Adrien would be ready to r*pe her and you would still ship them?!

I'M SO SORRY IF I WENT TOO FAR BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL SAY. ALSO YOUR "Marinette squeezing Adrien's butt" LEFT ME IN TEARS SKSJSKKSKSKSKSK 😭😭😭😭

#IMAGINE MARINETTE JUST DOES IT #SJAKSJKSKSKSKSKKSKSKSKS #I'M CRYING LOL #SHE WOULD #WE ALL KNOW SHE WOULD THAT'S WHY IT'S SO FUNNY #miraculous ladybug #marinette dupain cheng #adrien agreste #ladybug #chat noir #Ml fandom salt #Marinette deserves a better fandom #Adrien deserves a better fandom #ml ask #ask and answer #Love square

I do love how seriously he listens to her advice, you can't tell me he doesn't look up to her (even tho this is no memory Clark)

"Trust your gut. Like what's it say about me?" "We don't like each other very much?" "You're on the right track."

and then they're looking at each other like-

deeply unserious people

Clark better not confuse Lana and then push her away again when he's back to normal though

Lois looks so good in these long sleeve tops😩

Aaron from Mean Girls coming through for us with the memory trick😌

Clark and Lex summed up in one picture:

oh shit, Clark doesn't even remember what he said to Lana😬

Noooo Lana looks so sad I can't😭

"WHAT ABOUT JASON"? Just yeet him Clark

Ok he didn't mess it up I can breathe again (I don't even ship them atp, I just don't want to watch Lana in pain she's been through enough😭)

Chloe stop playing with Clark he looks scared shitless🤦🏻‍♀️

I just saw the Miraculous movie. This review will contain SPOILERS. There will also be comparaison with the show. I know some people will tell me that I don't have to compare because it's very different but I cannot not compare it because I've seen the show and that's why I have some opinions about things.

And I'm sorry to say that I didn't really liked the movie. Yes the animation was gorgeous, I recognize that, but other than that the plot wasn't convincing for me. So what's following is a ranting about things that make no sense/that I didn't like.

I will begin by the most important thing: the relationship between the love square. I didn't believed it at all. No part of the square was good for me. I felt like there was no build-up at all between the couples. Marinette likes Adrien because he gave her his hand and because he's beautiful. I can understand, it's not very different from the show where she likes him because he gave her his umbrella. But what lacked for me was everything else. They had that discussion at the fair but that's all? I know that it was just shown in random pictures to say that time passed and that they became friends but they didn't had a real conversation? There was the first one at the fair and the one about Emilie but that's all? They didn't show me Marinette being really in love with him.

Same thing for Chat Noir and Ladybug. Yeah she's amazing and you're in love. But give me something? The little spare was nice but that's not enough to make me wanting them together... They really missed the chemistry they have in the show, as partners.

I also need to talk about the songs. I hate most of them. I watched the movie in french and had to pass it in english for the songs, but it wasn't that better... I don't understand why Lou is doing LB's singing voice. I know Jeremy really likes her and she worked for the franchise before, but I'm not really a fan of her voice. To believe that in english it's the amazing Cristina Vee who's voicing Marinette and that they still choose Lou, is very weird. I felt like her voice lacked of power for the songs. Like in the first one, at the end gets closer, the music goes in crescendo and you except something like a note change to go with it, but no she stayed in the same tone all the song. There wasn't a moment where I was like "yeah girl". And Elliot who's doing the french singing voice for Chat Noir is not a good choice. His voice clashed so much with the speaking voice! For Marinette it can still work, her voice is just more mature than when she's speaking. But for Chat Noir? Absolutely no. I don't have anything to say to the person who voiced him in English, but that because I didn't really listened to the sonfs after we got like three of four... 😬

I didn't cared about the akumas, they were there that's all. None of them really marked me. The first one was literally a gargoyle while after that we just got the mimes with powers. It's like Gabriel did nothing except giving them power, they weren't transformed...

Marinette being extremely clumsy at the beginning makes me roll my eyes because it was too much, and I didn't like that she suddenly stopped being clumsy because she was Ladybug?! The girl is a walking cliché: clumsy, no friends, and bullied by the rich girl... Adrien give me nothing he had no characterisation except when he told Gabe that he wasn't his dad anymore, that was great. I didn't understand why Chloe was so sure about Adrien, they NEVER interacted. Gabriel was just pathetic. He is pathetic in the show too, but at least he's an intresting character. Because at the beginning we didn't knew he was Hawkmoth, then it was confirmed it was him and his reasons were kinda understandable. He wasn't a great dad but he was sure he was doing it for Adrien too. Here it's just for him.

Now let's talk about the most important thing: the revelation. The movie just proved why revealing the identities is not a great thing. In the show every time we got a revelation or almost had it, they built-up the the tension. There was always something proving why keeping it secret is a great choice. Their secrets identities are the heart of the show. Without that no love square. The movie revealing the identities was such a bad move. "I will take your earings by magic" okay Hawky you're overpowered nice to know it. And the whole thing with Chat Noir, half of his mask is gone and you're recognizing him? What does that mean about the magic in the suits? It's not a thing here? Because if only half was gone the magic could still work. But I know I shouldn't try to find a real reason when it's for the purpose of the 'plot' that he needs to know it's his son. And after that he straight up detransformed himself to apologize to his son?! Bro that's not credible at all. At least for me. Why would you suddenly stop your plan? You could have tried to convince him to resurrect your mom... So yeah, I hated that part.

Another thing I was curious about was the lucky charm and the cataclysm. It was said that Chat Noir was the destruction and when we saw the green lightning when he was with Hawkmoth, I supposed it was that. But how to explain that they're a special sort of superhero if their only powers is the super suit and their weapons? At least Ladybug could purified the akumas but all the damage they caused was repaired by the city? Notre Dame, the fair, everything the akumas in the pictures destroyed, weren't repaired by Ladybug...

And when she understands that she can repairs it, it's because of the power of love? Just that? Love? Don't make laugh, it's 'ridiculous' would say Chloe and I would agree.

So I can understand that she didn't unlocked the capacity to repair things but the lucky charm is the thing that makes Ladybug her. It's not just a random objects to beat the akuma, it's something that shows her creativity and how smart she can be. I really missed it.

Now for the last seconds wtf. Emilie is on a bed of flowers and there's no glass coffin?! Her body wouldn't be like that if it's been more than a year than she died and she wasn't preserved. I feel like in the show the coffin helped her body, but here it's so laughable.

In conclusion the movie is not a great movie. The show has a lot of flaws but this movie has more. As an introduction about Ladybug and Chat Noir it could work. As a movie for kids it could work too. As a movie for fans of the show it can't work. Maybe I would have liked it better if I had no knowledge about the show, but I still doubt. It was very kid oriented, and very fast. The movie could have been a great retelling of the story but I feel like Jeremy Zag proved once again that if there's a team writing the show it's for a reason. He didn't understood the concept of the show and tried to do something but failed.

Devastated || 2. Untimely

Paring: (Christopher "Sully" Sullivan x Original Female Character Mance!)

Word Count: 1918

Warnings: slight language

Last: The Island | Next: Fumble

The next day everyone was supposed to be teamed up to do a scavenger hunt, so Jennifer dressed comfortably for the day.

"Oh, Jen!" Henry calls out to her as she walks in front of him someway so she turns around to face him, "For the scavenger hunt, we had a say in teams, so I made sure you weren't stuck with Sully for the day." He lets her know. "You should be yellow, and he should be blue. Trish wanted to put him with you, but I talked her out of it. I know you hate his flirting."

"You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate the thought." She laughs, walking with him to join the others.

"Look, we're all on the same team." Sully comes back from talking to Cal with a yellow bandanna.

Jennifer just looks at him, making Danny laugh, which catches Henry's attention, "Jennifer," He calls her over, "I'll let you join another team."

"Babe," Trish sighs.

"No, it's fine. Really, I can put up with him. Thank you, though. Now you two have fun." Jennifer winks at them going to join Danny, Chloe, Booth, and Sully.

The scavenger hunt wasn't that fun, and at the moment, Chloe wanted to go see where Wakefield was buried. "Wouldn't you kinda know where he is?" Chloe asks Jennifer as they look for it while the guys don't.

"I left the island before they did it. My mom, who got away, got me off the island."

"You're mom almost died?" Chloe asks, shocked.

"Yeah, and there he is." Jennifer points ahead.

"I'm gonna go tell the guys." Chloe leaves her side. She comes back with just Sully, "The guy at the museum told me they wouldn't bury him in consecrated land."

"He killed six people, almost seven. He doesn't even deserve this." Jennifer stares at the headstone, so Chloe makes her way back to the group.

"Almost seven?" Sully asks, confused.

"My mom..." She looks at him, "That's one of the reasons why she sent me away from here. The other was because she doesn't, didn't, believe he's really there." She looks back at the grave.

Sully looks at her, slowly leaning towards her to kiss her, so she leans away, making him stand up straight so she looks at him, "You never give up, do you? Even when it is obviously not a good time." Jennifer sighs, "Sully, it's been eleven years. You're a good guy, but you never think with the right head, and that's what doesn't help you with me." She lets him know before going to join the others, telling them she's done with the scavenger hunt.

Instead of going to the Inn, she goes to the docks to hopefully find Jimmy working, and luckily he was there, "Aren't you doing a scavenger hunt?" He sees her walking towards him.

"I quit because of a certain attractive 6'1 with blonde hair, blue eyes, and whose name is Christopher but goes by his last name but shorter." She explains to him.

"You having boy trouble?"

"He hasn't given up in eleven years, Jimmy." She takes a seat.

"Eleven years?! I didn't know it was that long."

"He's a playboy and thinks with the wrong head. I just don't wanna get hurt. Like he's already eyeing Chloe while flirting with me." She explains to him.

"I'm guessing you already told him in a kind way to give up?" He stops working a bit.

"You remember how I said eleven years, right? Of course, I told him. And then I'm having a moment about Mom making me leave at Wakefield's grave, and he tries kissing me."

"Yeah, he doesn't use the right head." Jimmy laughs.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left... I'm sorry I never came back. And I'm sorry for leaving you to deal with our parents' death, but I couldn't do it. I had my reason why I didn't come back and why I was okay with Mom sending me away." Jennifer changes the topic, so he listens to her, "Dad hated me because of mom. After Mom was almost murdered, she went crazy with me and demanded I had to leave because she didn't believe Wakefield was dead and he would take me from her. Then Dad threatened me that if I ever stepped foot on this island, I would regret it. I was scared to come back home."

"Why do you think Dad hated you?" Jimmy walks towards her.

"I didn't think I knew because I heard them arguing one night. Jimmy, we have different dads. Mom had an affair with some guy she knew when she was around our age. Mom never told Dad who the guy was, and I for sure have no idea who. That's why he hated me. He thought I was his, and I wasn't."

Jimmy pulls his sister into his arms, hugging her as she tries not to cry, "I'm not mad or upset you left. And I never answered you because I didn't want you to come back. I thought you would be better off the island."

"Asshole," She laughs as she takes a seat and watches him for some time as they chat a bit.

"Permission to come aboard!" Henry comes towards the boat, "You quit too?" He laughs, seeing Jennifer.

"Sully," She smiles.

"Not surprised. Also nice. This is yours?"

"Yeah, I finally ponied up. Got it last spring." Jimmy tells him.

"Hey, listen, um, I wanted to come down here and make sure we're still cool. I know my brother and Shane got into it last night."

"Okay, that's been going on since we were kids. Come on, that never affected you and me." Jimmy tells him.

"Eh, still... I had a talk with JD earlier. I asked him to cool it until after the wedding."

"If you're asking me to talk to Shane, that's not going to change anything. It's just the way he is. Come on, you worked with him. You know how he is. Jen, especially knows first hand being his ex." Jimmy tells him so she nods her head.

"Uh... so listen, we're having a party tonight. A bonfire down at Harmon Beach. It should be fun. If you and Shane want to come by, hang out, we're gonna have a lot of food and cold beer." Henry invites him.

"I don't know. Tonight's going to be tough."

"Okay. Just wanted to invite you for old-time sake. Plus, I'm sure your sister misses you." He adds.

"I appreciate it."

"Well, I'm gonna go back with Hen. It was nice talking." Jennifer hugs Jimmy goodbye.

On the way back to the Inn, Henry asks what exactly did Sully do to make her quit the scavenger hunt.

"He tried kissing me after I said my Mom got away from Wakefield. At Wakefield's grave."

"I'm so sorry." Henry apologizes.

"You don't need to apologize for him. He's an adult that can apologize for his own actions. I wouldn't have a problem with him if he just took advice from us." Jennifer laughs.

"I'll talk to him."

"No, don't do that. Really, Henry. He won't listen now if he hasn't in the past." Jennifer begs him, "For me, don't."

"Since you asked, I won't."

"Thank you." She says as they arrive, so she goes straight to her room.

As she walks in, she sees a letter on the floor, so she picks it up to read it; Jennifer, on the outside. She opens up the envelope, taking the letter out to read it.

Have you ever wondered who your real father was? Being kept from him?

Jennifer puts the letter away, throwing it into the trash can. Only Jimmy knew because she just told him, so who the hell wrote that letter to put into her room.

After some time, there was a knock at her door, and she opened it to see Sully, "I want to apologize. No, Henry didn't come find me and give me a speech. Like you said, it was an inappropriate time, and yeah, I'm not the best guy..."

"I didn't say you were a bad guy. I said you're a good guy, but you never think with the right head. You want me to fall for your charm but you also eye Chloe from a distance. Tell me, Sully... how do you think that will work?" She lets him into her room.

"To be fair, I was hoping it would make you kind of jealous." He sits at the end of her bed.

"So for eleven years, every girl you come across near me you flirt with is to make me jealous? Yeah, I don't believe that." She sits next to him.

"Most were, but again I'm sorry. I should have noticed after eleven years of nothing, I should've given up."

"Change some, and you would be surprised. Now, get out of my room. I'll see you at the party." Jennifer gets up from the bed. Sully gets up, nodding his head with a slight smile leaving the room.

At the bonfire at night, everyone was having a good time eating and drinking. "Did you see that? I did it." Sully was happy with himself juggling.

"Not jaw-dropping but a small applause." Jennifer gives him one holding her beer.

"Thank you, my lady, for being the only one to care."

The sound of a punch makes everyone look to see Henry standing while Shane was on the ground. Jennifer goes over to get closer to hear them.

"Come on." Henry says but Shane just leaves.

Jennifer watches some before following him, "What the hell did you do now?"

"I didn't do shit. I have no idea what he's talking about. If I did something, you really think I would show up?" Shane steps closer to her.

"I don't know, you're pretty messed up."

"Believe whatever you want because I don't care." He tells her.

"Okay," She turns to go back to the party.

"Jimmy told me you guys talked and settled things." He speaks up.

"Yeah, I did. What about it, Shane?" She turns back around.

"Seven years ago, did you really what to fix things between us or?" He asks.

"I did, yes. But that was seven years ago. I'm sorry how things were left and I'm sorry we never got to end us on good terms." Jennifer tells him then goes back to the party.

"Hey, where did you go?" Danny asks as she joins them again.

"Talk to Shane and apologize for something in the past." She takes a seat, confusing him.

"They used to date before she left and it was on bad terms." Abby lets him know.

"You used to date that?" Sully looks at her.

"I did for five years. I know, don't add any comments, please." She begs him.

"Cal! Has anyone seen my cute little Englishman?" Chloe walks around.

"Oh, man." Jennifer hears Sully.

"Sully, why did you go, oh man?" She gets up.

"I might have forgotten to get him help... He's hanging upside down in the woods..." He tells her so he, Chloe, Jennifer, Malcolm, and Abby go find him.

Once they do, Chloe rushes over to him and Cal was slightly unconscious from hanging upside down for too long. "How do you forget about him?" Jen looks at Sully.

"I went to apologize to you, so I got sidetracked. I'm sorry." He apologizes.

"Don't tell me sorry; tell them." She points at the two.
