Rules: post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. if you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics.

@overworkedunderwhelmed tagged me a couple days ago but I was on travel for work and was not going to try and do this on my phone.

Most of these are prompt responses for the @miraculousfanworks booster rewards.

"Marinette sat with her chin resting in the palm of her hand staring dreamily at the back of Adrien’s head as the clock in Mme. Bustier’s classroom ticked slowly towards the end of the day. Her smile dripped across her face like melting ice cream as the light of the sun burnished his blond hair to spun gold." How Sweet It Is (to be loved by you)

"Even though it had never been more than an occasional thing, Anansi had had a lot of fun training Alya and Cappy off and on over the years. So it was particularly gratifying when her little sister had started showing up to the gym around the start of her second year of Lycee." Marital Kombat

“There are eight million stories to be told of the city. The City of Love. the City of Lights. Those lights cast deep shadows. The lives that huddle in those shadows pulse with the fire of passion and anger, or drip with unshed tears. Violence and corruption flow through those shadowed alleys like the dirty waters of the Seine hemmed in by its stone banks. Occasionally spilling out onto the glittering boulevards where the smiling people live. But those smiles can hide the shadows too and there’s no telling what darkness hides behind the closed curtains and lowered shades, what cries for help are muffled by the bustle of the streets. But secrets can't stay hidden in the shadows forever and we make it our business to -”

“Alya. You’re monologuing again.” Noir Would I

"Yuri did not want to be here.

It took every ounce of self control he had to walk, without scowling, down the long aisle of the Eden academy chapel between rows of guests with his beloved sister on his arm. Anya was prancing back and forth erratically in front of them, scattering great handfuls of rose petals over the scene as they processed toward the doom waiting at the altar. " Giving the Bride Away

"The first rule of being a successful liar: Be confident. " Hair Today

"There is no question that the wedding of Ladybug and Chat Noir was the biggest wedding in Paris this season. " Small Moments at the Biggest Wedding

“My son is an idiot.” Ring Side Seats

"At first she didn’t recognize what was going on.

Everything seemed natural. Adrien was very smart after all and he had been there for all of the events.

W~ell, most of them.

Mostly. 👀" I hear the secrets that you keep.

“Babe! Save me! It’s happening again!” This series didn't need a reboot!

"Noel was so proud that he was finally allowed to walk over to the park by Marinette’s House all by himself that he was barely paying enough attention to the bustle of the sidewalk around him on his way there. He had been looking forward to the chance to see his friends Ella and Etta and Manon all week as they lived just far enough apart that they ended up attending different primaire." Fly Away home

I made it eleven because that's every Fic I published Since 2022 started

Honorable Mention: I updated my analysis essay collection Miraculous Short Takes several times

small compliments | @morsurerouge | “You look really pretty today ”

❝ tu pense? ❞ she looks down at her outfit, not the best one she’s ever had, and certainly nothing like the ones she’s worn to parties that manon has been with her at. she’s noticing her shoes are scuffed and there’s a stain on her jeans which she tries to hide with her jacket. ❝ je ne sais pas, manon. t'es très belle, aujourd'hui, aussi. ❞ but she’s smiling, now, because it’s nice to hear manon compliment her, especially with manon always being so put together. ❝ c’est ma chemise préférée, aimes-tu? ❞ she’s been trying to kind of make her wardrobe a bit more interesting, since sometimes she feels like she always wears the same thing, or the same kind of thing, but she can’t get away from just jeans and one of her t-shirts that have been softened by years of fabric softener. she’s trying something new with the jeans, they’re not levis, this time, and they’re what her mom called something we would’ve worn back in my day so ━ whatever that means. maybe manon will think they’re cool and like -- vintage, or something. ❝ mon jeans est nouveu, est-ce qu'ils cool? ou, très ━ chic? ❞ if manon thinks they’re cool, then they’re cool and she might not feel so awkward.

#morsurerouge #❛ ‹ i. &. threads ; s’il vous plait écoute moi. / emma borgès › ❜#um anyway emma's inner monologue: hmmmm do i want to be like her or do i like her #anyway she wants manon to think shes cool and pretty wow #also 'hmm ur really pretty too manon'

Hello! Its been a while since i read any sjm books so i dont remember much beyond basic plot lines but can you expand on the sexism? ive seen people brush up on it but never explained. if you dont want to, its okay!! im just curious

It's much more prominent in ACOTAR but I haven't read it, so I can't tell you my own opinions. I'll focus on ToG and how I interpreted it.

The most glaring thing is that all the female characters have their agency totally decimated when they step into a relationship. No matter how powerful, they always end up as traditionally submissive women. Lysandra has a whole monologue about how she let Aedion treat her the way all of her abusers throughout her life had and how she will finally end the cycle, but she still goes back to him in the end. Elide's trauma, the drive behind her whole character, disappears for no reason when she meets Lorcan- she doesn't deal with it, she doesn't overcome it, she just gets healed by one look at his abs I guess. And Manon..... Bruh that one is so obvious I don't even have to explain, but her relationship wtih Dorian is a cringy mess. And I know it's small, but I'm still bitter about Yrene, who is from a matriarchal family and it's a big deal since they live in medieval times, accepting Chaol's patriarchal naming tradition. In addition, there's the cringy gender gap where all the men are violent and possessive and all the women just have to accept it, no matter how upset it makes them.

All in all, it hurts to read.

After everything is said and done (somehow you are still the one)

“I don’t want...our past to ruin Melanie’s and Georgie’s weekend,” Jon says and gives Martin a pointed look.

Oh, so he does remember. It actually manages to mellow Martin’s sour mood. It had not been a sonnet worthy romance, but it had been three years of what Martin would have considered friendly acquaintanceship and a month of sweaty palms, elevated heartbeats and rose-tinted glasses that had been punched off Martin’s face the morning after their first and only date. And even though it had ended horrifically, it would have hurt a surprisingly big amount if Jon had actually forgotten Martin.

“So I would prefer if this didn’t end with you making another scene,” Jon continues, and Martin wants to strangle him. If he was making another scene? Really? This is very rich coming from Jon, who is probably the biggest backstabber known to mankind.

“Therefore I suggest we behave cordially in front of Melanie and Georgie and ignore each other as much as possible,” Jon ends his little monologue, his eyes fixated on the floor.

Comparing the SKAM remakes: ISAK Part II

Lucas (SKAM France)

Some of the differences:

I love that Lucas seems a bit softer than Isak. For instance, he didn’t panic and hide the weed at the party in the first ep, it fell out of his pocket.

I like that he doesn’t just dismiss the girl squad the way Isak did (excepting Sana).

His scene with the guys watching the girls dance seemed much more awkward and out of character than it did for Isak because he seems like he’s just genuinely a nice person, where Isak’s flaws had a few more sharp edges.

I also really love the entire 6th episode because it explores Lucas’ developing relationship with the members of the Girl Squad, a relationship that was missing from the OG.

There is a little more homophobia in this one than OG. For instance, there is a lot of calling Lucas gay as a joke before he came out and his dad told him not to bring his boyfriend to church because it might upset his mom. Also I really liked that we got to see Lucas have an actual in-person conversation with his mom.

Favorite scenes:

THE FIRST TIME ELIOTT SAW LUCAS! I love when there is foreshadowing like this at the end of the previous seasons!!!

When Lucas is playing the piano for Eliott. This was very Noora/William-esque. I loved it so much I added the melody (I Love You by RIOPY) it to my SKAM playlist on Spotify.

The hardcore staring while making out with their respective dates at the party is always a favorite, and I felt like this one was particuarly intense

https://youtu.be/fw94vyoVxFk

The BRIDGE SCENE was the best! I loved everything about it - the flashlight, the rain . . . la perfection. Another song (Last Dance by Scratch Massive) added to my SKAM playlist.

The quiet conversation they have in bed (pre-yellow curtains convo) after their first night together

ALL THE SCENES about raccoon Eliott and Hedgehog Lucas - I’m glad I’m not the only one to have noticed Lucas’ hair choices

As heartbreaking as it is, the scene where Lucas unwittingly confides to Eliott that he doesn’t speak to his mother because he doesn’t need crazy people in his life is also always a favorite of mine

The scene where Yann calls Lucas out on his bullshit

“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s not only your parents . . . You’re here, going through phases. You say you have problems, you don’t even wanna talk about it. We’re here, like fools waiting for you to explain to us. But we’re not gonna beg you . . . And stop apologizing. That’s enough. Either you tell us, or you make your things right. We don’t give a fuck about your excuses. We just want you to be better, bro, and stop acting like an idiot. So if you want to talk, we’re here. If you don’t want to, you solve your things and come back to us later. Alright?”

The scene in episode six where he and Manon just cuddle and cry together in the dark

The whole conversation Lucas has with Mickaël (Eskild), Manon (Noora), and Lisa (Linn) on the couch when he is bawling his eyes out and they are telling him everything is going to be OK.

“Lucas, a closet is dark, narrow, and it smells. You have no reason to go back in there, so be at ease with yourself, alright? Live your life. And anyone who has a problem with that, fuck them. Fuck them, alright?” - Mickaël

When Yann apologized to Lucas for having teasingly called him "gay" for years as a joke. I loved that character growth when he realized that his actions had made Lucas feel like he couldn't come out to him and so he apologized for it.

When Lucas and Emma get drunk with Manon after Manon confesses the reason she left London

Lucille’s monologue in the final episode regarding Eliott

You’re not a passing craze. And of course he’s capable of love. I would know about that. But that also means you have responsibilities now. Be patient, first of all. Because you won’t understand everything, or get it right on the first try. And it will be okay. Be understanding, get information, read. Ask him questions, too, when he’s in the mood to answer them. Try not to rush him. If he wants to sleep, let him sleep. If he doesn’t want to talk, don’t make him. There will be moments where all you’ll be able to do is just look at him, and you’ll feel powerless. But that’s the way it is. Watch out for signs, too. When he’s not doing well, or when he’s doing too well. You won’t be able to do much about it, but at least you’ll be ready. Finally, just be there for him. But only when he wants it or needs you to be. And when he doesn’t want it or need it, wait for him. Because he’ll always come back to you. And most importantly, Lucas . . . enjoy the good moments. There will be good moments. Plenty of them, even. And those moments will make the other ones worth it. You’ll see, - Lucille

Things I missed:

Yonas’ easy acceptance of his best friend’s coming out. Honestly Yann dropped a boatload of points for creating the unnecessary drama. “I need some time.” WTF.

The scene with the boy squad sitting around the table when they all gave Isak dating advice. France tried to recreate it with the scene in the common room but it didn’t quite hit the same way.

Girl’s Squad Highlights

When they convince Chris' boyfriend that all periods that occur while on the pill are fake, and that they use fake blood from the pharmacy

A Shout Out for Basile & Daphne (Magnus & Vilde)

Ah, Basile. I am both annoyed by and enamored with the way he is totally, grossly, inappropriately (but in an adorably puppy like way) crushing on Daphne. The scene where he sniffs her hair is adorable. He would totally let her put him on a leash. He thinks she’s absolutely perfect even when she is being completely imperfect and I love it.

All the World’s a Stage!

Theatre AU is ready! This story is for my beautiful butterfly Ju @lololil!

Theatre professionals are supposed to be extremely superstitious.

The Scottish play. No whistling backstage. Break a leg. Leaving a seat unoccupied. Graveyard flowers. Bad dress rehearsal means good opening night. Black clothes rule.

There are too many of these unspoken rules to ensure good luck, and Lucas adheres to them all.

It’s not that he necessarily believes in them, but… why risk it?

He also knows that no matter what, things will always go wrong. And most of the time, it’s Lucas’ job to fix them. So far, the only problem they’re facing is finding a lead actor, and Lucas is getting nervous. The first table read is planned in two days, and they are on a rushed time schedule as is. Lucas has, of course, already made some backup rehearsal programs in case they have to start without the main actor, but he really hopes it won’t come to that. He takes a sip from his coffee to steady his nerves. Strong and as black as his stage manager’s outfit, that how he likes it. Maybe he should add an extra scoop of beans to the next pot, though. Seems like it’s not cutting through as it should.

Caffeine jitters aside, Lucas is really enjoying this production. It’s a relatively modest one, in a small but lovely theatre. It means they’re chronically underbudgeted and as such understaffed, but Lucas doesn’t mind pitching in where he can. The play they are putting up is something new, by an up-and-coming playwright who manages to raise important current topics in a way that’s funny, emotionally evocative and on point. She’s a genius with language and structure, and Lucas loves the play. The author is also savvy enough to know that once the script is in the hands of a director and a cast, it’s really not her baby anymore. She’s given them more or less free reign, unlike some other people Lucas worked with, who haunted the rehearsals and complained loudly about every artistic choice that was made, including even the length of the pauses written into the script.

Lucas likes most people involved, too. He has worked with the director, Imane Bakhellal, before. She can be demanding, but she knows what she’s doing, and actually expects respect for the stage manager from the rest of the cast and crew, so that’s a big reason why Lucas has agreed to work with her again. Her assistant, Daphné, is bubbly and organized. Sometimes she looks like a deer in the headlights when the stress of getting a play staged catches up with her, but she has a sharp mind and a work ethic Lucas admires. Most of the rest of the people involved are new to Lucas, except for Yann, who Lucas has worked with in a couple of plays before, and actually hung out with occasionally, and of course Manon, who has been one of Lucas’ few friends since high school and had actually inspired his career choice in no small way. It had been a pleasant surprise when she had been cast as one of the lead actresses.

So that leaves the elusive main actor. Lucas has read the script often enough during his preparations – making copies for the call script, preparing the scene breaks, listing the props, checking the lines of each character per scene to get to a working rehearsal schedule – to know the male lead needs to carry the whole play. He needs to be able to perform a range of emotions with subtlety and finesse. He has a few challenging monologues, but also some delicate love scenes, so they need somebody who can carry the stage on his own, but also knows how to share the spotlight with others. Lucas understands why Imane is being picky, although with every passing day he sits in the back row watching auditions, he despairs more.

However, today, they might strike gold.

Because today, Eliott Demaury is supposed to audition.

Happy Holidays @adrienettes-hamster!! I was your backup gifter for @mlsecretsanta this year! I hope you enjoy this platonic Ladynoir bonding :)

Many thanks to @strangerahne for beta-reading!

Laughing in the Starlight

read on AO3

Marinete had known this was a bad idea the first time he suggested it, but that meant nothing. Even with all the luck in the world, she could never hold out against his kitty eyes and impassioned pleas for very long. One would think she'd have some sort of immunity, after babysitting Manon for so long, but no dice. It was almost as if his kitty eyes were magically augmented or something. No ordinary human should be able to expand their pupils that wide. It was just ridiculous. (Utterly ridiculous, her internal monologue supplied unhelpfully.)

And really, it was just a game of Truth or Dare. As Chat Noir helpfully pointed out the third time he tried persuading her to play, if she was really worried about secret identity things, nothing was stopping her from just choosing dare every time. Eventually, after two weeks straight of him bugging her during patrol, she gave in. Sort of.

Her acquiescence was accompanied by a number of ground rules designed to safeguard their identities and avoid injuries (practically a necessity when pitting two teenage superheroes against each other in a game designed to embarrass). She also added three vetoes apiece, just in case. Going into the game, Ladybug felt confident that she was prepared for anything, because her rules accounted for every possible awkward situation — and they would have, were her opponent anyone but Chat. Right now, sitting on an isolated rooftop three rounds into the game, she knew she'd made a mistake. Nothing could have prepared her for what he was throwing her way.

“Okay, so, imagine you were suddenly turned into a peach pit that was inside of a ripe peach and on a tree, and then the peach fell off the tree, sprouted, and you grew out of it back to the body you were before turning into the peach pit. Then imagine all this happened in the span of twenty minutes. What would be the first thing you did after all this happened?"

Her brain refused to compute. “Sorry, what?”

Chat just smiled earnestly at her, eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Did- did someone turn me into the peach pit?” she stammered, totally taken aback.

“Take it however you want, I just want an answer to my question.” Chat seemed shockingly normal for someone who had just spouted the most ridiculously out-there question she'd ever heard. Did these sorts of thoughts just exist in his brain?

How did one even begin to handle such a situation? But then again, stranger akumas had happened. “I guess I’d… first try to figure out how I’d been turned into a peach in the first place—“

“Peach pit, you mean,” he prompted, leaning forward.

“Yeah, that.” She rolled her eyes. “I’d probably also grab another peach off the tree to use as a weapon if I needed it. Oh wait, are the other peaches also people?”

His grin grew even wider before he responded. “That’s for me to know and you to never find out”

She shot him a frosty glare and responded, deadpan, “Horrible.”

“So….. what would you do?” he asked, genuinely curious now.

“Hmm. Probably... pull a peach off the tree so I have something to throw, look for the culprit - which was probably an akuma, honestly - and if I find no one, then get to high ground and keep looking. Oh, and before I leave, toss the peach at you like so.” She picked up a small pebble from the rooftop beside her and threw it at Chat, who yelped and turned away.

“Hey, what was that for?" Chat pouted.

Ladybug winked. "That's for me to know and you to never find out."

"Ah-hah-hah I see what you did there," he said, shooting finger guns at her. "Very clever. Now, I believe it's your turn again, Milady. I hope you come up with something interesting." He quirked a brow in challenge.

"Alright Kitty-Cat, truth..." She paused dramatically. "Or dare?"

"Dare, if you please."

"Hmm…" she mused, glancing around for inspiration. An idea came when her eyes landed on a house with two chimneys, about eight feet apart from one another. "Oh! Okay, I got it. Stick your baton between those two chimneys over there, grab it, then swing and flip yourself onto it, landing on your feet. Dramatic dismount for bonus points."

The spark of excitement in Chat's eyes had grown with every word she spoke. As soon as she finished laying down the challenge, he leapt up gracefully and bounded over to the designated rooftop, Ladybug following close behind.

Unsurprisingly, he executed the sequence perfectly, swinging around his baton like a gymnast on the uneven bars before landing on it, striking a pose, and backflipping off, all with the grace of a jungle cat.

She applauded as he put his baton away and sauntered over to where she now sat.

He gave a courtly bow before sitting down opposite her. "Only the best for the lady! My turn now, so choose your poison."

"Umm… I think I'll mix it up a bit with a dare."

"Okay, I dare you to…" Chat began slowly, "pick up the pointiest rock you can find, show it to me for approval, and then hold it in one of your armpits for the next two questions. Oh, and if you drop it at any point, the question count resets."

Ladybug shot him a dirty look before searching around for an appropriate rock. She picked up two, showed them both to Chat for inspection, and then unceremoniously stuck the chosen one under her left arm, taking care not to press too tight. "My turn now. Pick."

"Sheesh, someone's prickly! Something jabbing at you?" Chat snickered at the growl she let loose when his pun registered. "Truth! I pick truth."

She thought for a minute before speaking. "You claim that you're just a human with weird cat traits instead of the cat I'm convinced you are. Now, if I were right and you were an actual cat, what weirdly human trait would you have?"

Chat furrowed his brow in contemplation. "There's so many options to choose from! If I had to pick one… I'd probably make human sounds, either so my meows would sound like a real person making them, or so I'd scare the real humans in the house by saying 'hewwo' or something"

"An agent of chaos! Now, that sounds just like you. And I know better than anyone how much you hate not making human sounds," she chuckled.

He tried to mock pout, but couldn't hide his smile. "Okay, okay, my turn again. Truth or dare?"

"Ugh, I don't want to move with this thing under my arm. Truth."

With a soft laugh, Chat responded, "Well, now I know how to get you to answer my questions! Okay, okay, don't hurt me!" he exclaimed, raising a placating hand when he saw her glare turn threatening. "My question for you is… what name would you want to have, if your name wasn't what it is? And don't say this is against the rules, you could even give me your real name and I'd have no idea, so there's no way I can use this to ferret out your secret identity."

"Uhh…" She tilted her head to one side as she considered her options. "I'm not sure… maybe Celeste, or Isabelle? Or… Oh! I've always been partial to the name Bridgette, so I'd probably pick that."

"Bridgette, huh? I bet you'd have gotten along with one of my good friends. She's incredibly sweet and caring, like you. And her name sort of rhymes with your fake one! And she—" he cut his speech short, noticing that he was heading off on a tangent. "Anyway, spoilers aside, she's pretty great."

"Seems like Kitty might have a crush, hmmm? I hope this girl is worth your affections," teased Ladybug. "Must be something special if she's caught the eye of the great Chat Noir."

"Oh no, no crush! I only have eyes for you! I mean really, for yonder Tour Eiffel is the east, and you are my sun. This girl is… just a very good friend." The look on her face made it seem like she was intent on pursuing this line of teasing, so he hurriedly went on. "Also, I pick dare, and your rock dare is finished. You can drop the pebble now."

"Very smooth, Kitty," she said sarcastically, releasing the stone, "but moving onto the next turn might not save you. I can still dare you to answer a truthful question, don't you forget."

Chat's eyes widened briefly in shock before his expression morphed into his patented kitty pout — peeking out from beneath his lashes, pupils blown wide and shining, lower lip stuck out and quivering, head tilted to the side just so. "You wouldn't do that to me, would you? That would be so mean!"

She narrowed her eyes and met his pleading gaze with a stony stare of her own for a few moments, but then broke away with an exasperated sigh. "Fine, I'll play nice. But one of these days I'm gonna figure out how to defeat your pout, and then you'll be in for some serious trouble," she warned, waggling a finger at him. "Okay, your dare is to… sing about a minute of a song, but replace every fifth word with the word croissant. And I have to approve your choice before you start singing! Also, if you start laughing, you have to start again. Think you can handle it?"

"I'm all over it! Just give me a minute to think up the perfect tune to serenade you with!" he proclaimed confidently.

"No problem, just as long as there's no cat-erwauling," she said with a smirk.

He froze. "Wait, was that a pun?"

She looked at him, a sly smile playing at the corners of her lips, but did not reply.

"Not gonna admit it, huh? That's fine. I think I have just the song for you. Go ahead and stop me if you don't approve." He stood and bowed like a maestro walking onstage for a piano recital. "Now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, milady."

With that, he began humming and plucking at an imaginary… cello? Bass? Some sort of large string instrument. He opened his mouth, and sang (in a surprisingly smooth tenor), "I've got a gal croissant always late, any time croissant got a date. But I croissant her, I've gotta ask her, croissant you is or is croissant ain't my babyy?" His voice wavered with suppressed laughter by the third croissant, but he pressed on, counting out words on his fingers as he mimed plucking the strings. Ladybug had no such luck holding back her giggles and had to bite down on her own hand to smother some of the noise. "Maybe baby's croissant somebody new... or is my croissant still my baby truuuue?"

Chat finished the chorus with a flourish on his imaginary instrument before promptly dissolving into peals of laughter and plopping down in a heap next to his partner. They both just sat there chuckling for a while, trying very hard not to look at each other — for every time they calmed down slightly and their eyes met, they burst into laughter and had to start the process all over again. Eventually, they managed to regain control of themselves and quiet down. Tired now, they laid down on their backs, heads beside one another, feet stretched in opposite directions, and looked up at the few stars visible in Paris's night sky. For several minutes, neither of them made a sound.

"Wow," Ladybug breathed, breaking the silence, "what a view. I could just lay here all night."

Chat hummed in agreement. After a few moments, he shifted and turned his head slightly so he could see her profile. "Hey Ladybug," he said softly. She turned to look at him. "Truth or dare?"

She smiled. "Truth," she answered, just as softly.

"If you were playing Max's akuma game, but with Disney/Pixar characters, and the computer chose Hawkmoth, which character would you pit against him?" When she didn't speak for a few moments, he continued, "Take your time, it's a very important decision."

Ladybug pondered her options for a minute or two, weighing the pros and cons of various animated characters. All of a sudden, inspiration struck, and she let out a quiet giggle at her stroke of genius. "Oh, I have the perfect idea: the Pixar lamp." And she turned to him expectantly, amusement and pride evident in her expression.

Forehead wrinkled in confusion, he said, "I don't get it. Explain?"

She propped herself up on an elbow so she could see him better. "Okay, um… look at it this way. He calls himself Hawkmoth, which is a species of moth, right?"

He nodded.

She went on, "And moths are attracted to light and heat, to the point that they sometimes act drunk around things like lightbulbs and small flames."

Another nod.

"Plus, take into account the fact that you and I have some traits from our namesakes — you purr and I snack on flowers."

A rueful chuckle accompanied the next nod.

"So, it makes sense that Hawkmoth might be attracted to lamps. But then, the coup de graçe: do you remember what the Pixar lamp does?"

"It… hops?" Comprehension dawned. "Oh!" he exclaimed. "I get it." He started to laugh again, softly at first, then louder.

Ladybug laughed along with him, trying to speak through her mirth. "So... hahaha... I'm just imagining *snort* Hawkmoth... heeheehee... trying to chase the lamp around, while this… sentient lamp... *giggle*… just keeps trying to bonk him and jump on his head!" She pressed a hand to her stomach, laughing until it was difficult to breathe. "We wouldn't even be needed anymore!"

At this, Chat laughed so hard that his voice was no longer audible, and he just lay there, shaking and gasping for air. Finally, he caught his breath enough to gesture wildly and choke out, "Milady, you're a genius! Hawkmoth would totally just be running around like… *snicker*… 'LAMPY! Let me love you!' and the lamp would be like *BONK* and then… bahaha… they'd be together forever! *snort* Honestly, this is more of a ship than a fight!" His arms dropped back to his stomach as he fell into another fit of laughter.

The two of them laughed and laughed until their stomachs ached and tears streamed from their eyes, and the sounds of their voices echoed across the Parisian skyline. When they'd nearly laughed themselves hoarse, a sense of peace stole over them, and their minds and voices grew quiet and calm once more. They continued to lay there for several minutes, soaking in the comfortable silence, feeling — for once — completely in tune with the world around them.

"Hey, Chat?" Ladybug murmured.

"Hmm?"

"I'm glad you're my partner. There's no one I'd rather be here with than you."

He smiled and gently touched his head to hers. "You and me, Milady. Forever."

Hawkmoth and the rest of the world could wait.

Right here, right now?

This moment was theirs alone.

Ellie, what do you think we need in this episode to have a good conclusion ? like, what scenes

Good question !

- I want a scene of Lola and Daphne going to a mental health professional (school nurse?) and talk about their family issues, their mom, and what happened to Lola in rehab. Ideally also Thierry to make a decision to get help so he can be a better father

- I want Elu to have a conversation, a long one, from Eliott's perspective, where they finally adress all their issues, their insecurities, and we have a proper romantic moment to say goodbye to them forever 😢💖

Those are the two big scenes I REALLY want. Aside from that:

- Probably a party clip in tour Playel with both Lamifex and the Grew ; I want to know what everyone is doing after their Bac and maybe some cool interactions btw the old and new characters. Movie projection ? Especially I would like to know about Sofimane, Arthur, Emma, and Alexia

- Maya and Lola talk, reconcile and decide to take it slow and it's sweet and hopeful

- If we have to have Tiff resolution I want her to apologize to Lola but like, very fast bc this storyline is mostly a waste of time to me now

- I really think a conversation btw Eliott and Lola is necessary, where she apologizes, he recognizes she hurt him but tells her that she is wrong to listen to that self destructive voice inside her, because it's so clever and so good at appearing like it but it is not The Truth. Also Lucas and Lola reconciling would be cool. Shitty fathers gang unite lmao

- Bonus round : Manon says she broke up w Charles in 1 sentence, Idriss is there, Jo and Lucas chaos moment, Sekou and Max have Tension, Yann does a closing monologue!

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas – book review

Series: Throne of Glass #7 Genre: YA, Fantasy Theme: Fae, magic users, war Warnings: mentions of torture, imprisonment Star rating: 0,5/10

Why did I pick this up?: I wanted to end this horrible series once and for all.

[Heavy spoilers ahead]

To make myself clear, before this book I quite liked this series. It wouldn’t place in my top 100 books, not even close, but it was a pleasant pageturner to listen to in audiobooks when working.

Language

Let’s start slow. I lack the words to express how much I hate the words ‘male’, ‘female’ and ‘mate’ after this series. Not even gonna try to express my trauma. But these 3 gems aside, Sarah J. Maas needs a dictionary. Or compress her work to a manageable size. Everything sang, Everyone melted, Every man roared, Every woman trembled, Everyone was unleashing themselves at least once a chapter (number of chapters: 122) ). And now I know definitely too much about Yrene’s ‘womb’. I know so much…

Dynamism

I thought that was a book about a war with heavy action content. Oh boy, I was wrong. This 984-pages monstrosity has maybe 5 pages of action. If you squint.

Every sequence, where by design action should take place was followed by one of two scripts:

Few sentences of action and then a few pages long internal monologue. Often repeated with the same character after the next few sentences of action, or with the next character and then the next (sometimes the first character made a second appearance and then everything would go all over again). And the word ‘character’ used in these sentences is not because I’m rambling. This book is written that way!

Few sentences of action and then action stops, and we are graced by a few pages long conversation. In the middle of a battle. Or spying. Or in Erawan’s chambers, when his castle is going down, and he is running up the stairs...

Time

Leaving alone the fact that apparently all series took less than a year (till this book I estimated the plot for about 3 years, Wiki told me it was 2, but Maas knows best), because that is a can of worms in itself. Time in this one? I honestly have no idea. There were many ‘few weeks of travel’ parts with two main groups of POVs. Personally my only time indicator was ‘Orynth won’t fall till Aelin gets here’. But nothing just fit. And I saw Lost Song when in the last episode we as the audience realized that our two POVs parallel storylines are in reality millennia apart. Lost Song made sense.

Emotional loading

… there wasn’t any. Really, it was like reading a milk label. Every time the scene was potentially emotionally impactful, Maas went ahead to overexplaining EVERY. GOD. DAMMED. THING. And it was abso-fucking-lutely everything. ‘Emotional dilemma? Let’s current POV explain it! 2 pages should be enough… Damn maybe it wasn’t enough. I know! I’ll switch POVs and explain it through the other character!’ <= My impression of Maas’ thought process. I’m fairly sure that the record was 7 POVs explaining the same thing in the row, but I was blacking out a little, so I cannot be sure.

And if that wasn’t enough, this book had a second way to defuse tension: random-plastic-repetitive-badly_written-smut. Really badly written and really repetitive. How could you not feel the spicy bits, when Manon (cruel, self assured 100+years old witch-queen) reacts the same in bed as Elide (20years old, virgin, ex-slave). And the rest of them were the same, there weren’t ANY distinctions.Just copy-paste.

The next point in current case: Someone died, it was impactful, I really liked the character, so I got sad. But then 2 of our characters came out of the room with a body, and after a paragraph of grieving they started making out, and then I was regaled with 2-pages-long description of melting cores. That was the place then this book stopped being badly written, and started being distasteful.

Characters

Remember when I was writing about switching POVs (which is 15(!!!) In the whole book. Oh and an omniscient narrator in places when our current POV was grieving too much to overthink something, but Maas still wanted to inform us about something)? They were all savagely murdered in the worst way: character mutilation. Somewhere between books our maybe-not-that-original but colorful and interesting characters became carbon copies of each other. I have no idea how many times I didn’t realise there was a POV switch. The only indicator was a change of pronoun, or when Maas was telling us the name of a current narrator. These were the only ways. And if you can't distinguish if you are in Dorian’s head or in Manon’s, that is the sign of a really BAD writing.

Romance

…there wasn't any. In all this book there wasn't any naturally progressing romantic scene. There were Maas’ endgame pairings which were sexing or pinning. As the author Maas loves to write about soulmates. And it’s not a bad thing itself. When I want some fluffy story I often tag ‘soulmates’ in AO3 and voila, +10 to good mood. But God above, it is not cute when every pair you write about are ‘true mates’ just BECAUSE. It is the only way Maas sees a relationship, as a fated pairing, written in the wake of the universe by the God himself. There is no choice, nor the work to put in it. They are the author's OTP and that means that they are perfect and they should have children right now. Point in case:

Guy was treating a girl like a shit on his sole, including throwing her naked out of tent, on a snow, with their friends present, all the while abusing her verbally in a worst way. But it’s okay, because when she almost died he realised his mistakes and apologised. Two scenes later, he was forgiven, because... fated mates?

The pathos

I know that many people don't like this type of scenes, but it's not my case. I’m reading by picturing images and not repeating words. I like sequences that I can imagine to be grand and glorious, even if they are a little corny. That said, the pathos scenes were the most disappointing ones for me. Maas likes to write parts that are more picturesquely exalted than logically possible [point in case: meeting of 5 armies/forces in the random patch of sand in Empire of Storms, and it being painted as ‘an Aelin’s great plan’. I laughed myself silly at that. But not taking logic and all the plot holes into consideration that was a nicely looking scene. In Kingdom of Ash that wasn’t the case. I would say that the author wanted to paint us a renaissance painting every 20 pages or so. In my opinion, every time she failed miserably. Each and every of those scenes was or to farfetched to be even remotely realistic, and evidently written only for a sake of the picture, or just plainly stupid.

Example, and it’s so priceless a scene, that I just need to share it: Battle of Orynth, 25th day or so (time in this book doesn’t exist), the 13. sacrificed themselves (like thousands before them but hush). And then, time stops: grieving Manon is going through the city, they open the gates for her (yes, the siege is still on), she goes to the place where they died, after her come out all of our main heroes, and half the city itself with ‘flowers, rocks and precious possessions’ and they lay it there in a tribute to these brave (evil till 2 months ago) witches. I honestly can’t remember when was the last time I saw such an abstract scene. It’s a material for an essay in itself. No, I could not take it seriously.

Additionally, it's hard to make an impact as every damn sentence is grand and lofty. In the end it became truly pathetic, Aelin vs Maeve was unreadable.

Character deaths:

Let's make a quick count: main characters in a series at the start of KoA: 12 secondary characters in a series at the start of KoA: 20ish minor and total background: a lot more

Death count: main: 0 secondary: 3 minor: 2 (11 if we try very hard)

Resurrections: 1 (possibly 3, but not gonna analyze it)

Did you feel emotions of this impossible war against this all-encompassing, all-powerful, invincible, immortal, cunning Evil with armies from 3 continents and 2 worlds? No? Me neither.

Oh well, but there were a lot of deaths of ordinary soldiers. I’m quite certain that all of Terrasen’s army was at least twice brought back to life for them to die in these numbers.

Logic or lack thereof

Oh, and let’s not forget about the Deus ex machina army of unbeatable, magical elves on wolves, from legends, living for the past thousands of years in the unreachable lands of the north, because they managed to run from the surprise attack 10 years earlier. Did I mention that they came from portals, which the whole book was telling us were impossible to make in this scenario? After the previous saviour army was already fighting there for a day? And that Aelin didn’t know they would come for sure (how did she contact them again?)? Even though they were waiting in the full armours for these portals? Ah, and also: that army didn’t do anything. They just came and fought for maybe 4 minutes. And there were just so many things like that!

And if we’re on the topic of armies I present you: ‘My favourite absurd-list in the series: allied armies’.

(As a comparison, in A Song of Ice and Fire by J.R.R Martin, in 7 kingdoms of Westeros, at the peak of war there were 7 forces present, but not all were even engaged in a war.)

First the ones that made sense:

Armies of Terrasen’s Lords (counted as one, not gonna nitpick)

The Khaganate army (also counted as one)

Galan Ashryver’s armada

Whitethorn fraction

Rebel Ironteeth witches

…should Dorian be counted as an ‘army’?

And there were some that did not:

Ansel of Briarcliff’s army

The Silent Assassins

Mycenians

Wild Men of the Fangs

Army of magical elves on wolves

And the ‘I don’t even know’ category:

Crochan witches

Overpowering and overreaching

Section title tells it all. The stakes were too high. I was honestly waiting for Aelin to become Super Saiyan and start to throw planets at Maeve and Erawan. I won’t spoil if this happened.

In my opinion it could be a really great series, if our list of villains ended with Arobynn and King of Adarlan, and the list of Aelin titles with an assassin and a princess. We could have had two main fight plots: one emotional with Arobynn, when Aelin would have to face a damage he had done to her, and overcome it. And the second one, with freeing Terrasen from Adarlan’s rule. That’s it. There was an asshole, power hungry king, who feared magic and wanted to rule the East part of a continent. A lot of plot, but not so much that we stopped to care, or didn’t have time to cover everything. We could really get to know what Terrasen and his people were like and not JUST GET TOLD that it was ‘the greatest place in the world’ every damn 20 pages.

Plus…should Dorian be counted as an ‘army’? It's a REALLY valid question.

Climaxes

IIf I have to write a list of things that disappointed me in this book, this review would be thrice its current size, but one of the worst grievances I have is the complete lack of acknowledging the plotlines that had been started. This book series has overall 4 372 pages (not counting novellas) and 12 main characters (still not gonna address this). All of them had their storylines and arcs but if they weren't tied up in the previous instalments they wouldn’t be in this one. I get it, Maeve and Erawan got beaten (in an extremely unsatisfactory way) but they were only a background in this series' plots.

Aelin Well, Aelin was one of 3 people (+2 paragraf-long insertion from Nesryn and Chaol) who got their own POV’s after the battle (second was technically Rowan, who was ‘Aelin’s POV outside of Aelin’.The third Dorian, who got almost a full two pages). And from this we got that: she got crowned, Aedion got his bond and that Maas have no idea how the city looks after weeks of siege. In her case what angered me the most was ‘Terrasen is my home’ subplot. Only in this tome we read at least 3 times that Aelin will be okay with dying, if only she gets to see Terrasen one last time, or if she get to die on Terrassen soil. But you know what? Maas forgot to write the scene where Aelin actually ‘comes in’.

Mannon Didn't get her own POV after the battle, but here’s what we’ve got: She is going to the Wastes with Croachans and Ironteeth. Whait. What? Yes, that was the ending of this 500+ years of feud. They fought together and they decided to unite their two species, completely forgetting more than half a millenia of slaughter. I can only hope that there were at least some talks behind the scenes… NO! F*** NO! This isn’t how it works!

Rowan, Dorian, Chaol, Yrene, Lysandra, Aedion, Lorcan, Elide, Nesryn, Sartaq Lived happily ever after

Secondary minor and total background characters Survived (I acknowledge that they would be ignored in most books’ epilogues, but this abomination is almost 1000 pages of nothing!!).

Good Scenes

That saying, this book actually had 4 good scenes:

Crochan witches go to war - gathering-forces-to-fight trope, which is my *love-always trope* so I’m not even sure if it was relatively good, or if I’m just a slut for this trope. It was still only a paragraph long though.

[recurring] The children’s tale Aelin repeated to herself to remember who she is.

‘Lorcan Lochan’ - the only marginally funny scene in the whole book

I actually found Darrel making Evangeline his heir charming. Even if circumstances were far-fetched at least.

But the words crime of this book? It was agonisingly, mind-numbingly boring. If the overexplaining and repetitions were to be taken out I highly doubt that there would be 300 pages left.

For these 33 hours of audiobook I suffered through I give it half a star. Because Abraxos exist.

Idek the last time you did a ranking so I don’t even know if you’re doing them anymore, but if you’re down, could you rank the noora’s “stop walking around like a fucking cliche” monologues. If not, what’s your favorite ice cream flavor. If you don’t like ice cream, fuck you? Jk love you

Bby thank you 🥺🥺 LET'S DO THISSSS

Og. Look, it's the original. It paved the way for us all to stop a rich asshole outside of school and absolutely destroy that bitch. Baby girl SNAPPED

Austin. This is my favorite scene in skamau tbh. The way she makes his own friends laugh at him?? The move??? Jo????? This is what perfection looks like

Druck. Alex said that Mia yelling at him actually snapped him out of his asshole behavior and I really like this scene because you can actually see the changes in his face when she went at him. It's a small change that I like 😌 (also Sam flipping him off was great)

España. The only one that's super different from the og but Nora is way more quiet than the others so it makes sense. Also the pome thing is so funny like, c'mon that's comedy. And the girls in the background is the greatest squad reaction by any of them (alex has the best william reaction, austin has the best response by the other boys, noora has the best speech etc etc)

NL. I really like how Liv got like, two centimeters away from Noah. Queen shit. And she called him dirty, QUEEN. But I hate Noah and I don't like seeing him so NEXT

Wtfock. Zoë is a good Noora for this one cause she's mean and scary, we love to see it. But this was really close to the og, change it up a bit pls!

Italia. I hate everyone's reactions. The girls laughed, Edo laughed, the other boys laughed, Eleonora laughed. But the speech was good JUST STOP LAUGHING WHAT IS THIS A COMEDY SHOW?

France. Manon is s1 was so mean and I loved her. Rip to Manon or whatever. This was good but I can't look at Charles so it's at the bottom!!!

My favorite ice cream is usually mint chocolate chip. I like to change it up a lot tho jsksjskdm (sometimes vanilla, sometimes cookie dough, sometimes cookies and cream WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN). And of course I like ice cream, I'm not a total monster

#this made me feel better #ily lots 🥺#asks #my rankings #←shes back

Rae Rewatches Miraculous Ladybug

Season 1: Stormy Weather

Now we know why Aurore lost. She had her umbrella open inside a building.

Ooh Cristina Vee was definitely using a lower tone for Marinette in the beginning

Nah don't worry Tikki, I am pretty sure Manon saw you already

"I....just... couldn't say...no."

Marinette chooses her responsibilities over mooning about Adrien a lot in this episode. Good job, especially for a first episode!

Alya the best big sister

Alya isn't wrong, though. Ella and Etta make Manon look like a well behaved kid.

Aurore, honey, close your damn umbrella-

Honestly fuck Alec, that is no way to treat a losing contestant. Whoever hired Alec in the entertainment and people relations industry, I just want to talk.

He was fine until "What's the big deal? She only crushed you by half a million votes!"

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

She fought the Akuma!

.....why did the elevator turn dark...?

Why is Adrien the only model in Gabriel's company? And why does he have to model that one outfit? Seriously, why isn't Gabriel bankrupt yet?

Emma, Louis, and Hugo Agreste Dupain Cheng

"Wait, no forget the cat" Too bad, Marinette, you'll be adopting two of them anyway.

WHAT IS THE HAMSTER'S NAME?

Come on Adrien turn around and watch your girl do the 'Walking Dead Man!'

Alya gives no shits lmao

Mirelle could have run away twice while Stromy was monologuing

Why does Marinette's face look squished?

See, looking at all the merch for Mirelle makes me wonder if that channel did any promo for Aurore AT ALL

I love Alya just standing there and letting Manon yell at Marinette

Yeah Adrien is definitely not able to hear his two classmates talking about him within earshot

Isn't this a time when akumas are still relatively new?

Yes?

THEN WHY IS THAT CROWD CHILLING OUT THERE INSTEAD OF RUNNING?

Lol I guess they didn't want to use the words 'puppy dog eyes' in a show with a black cat as the main character

More romance? Is this dude aware Adrien is only 14?

Wait what am I saying he's Gabriel's son

Alya having an allergic reaction to the apple lol

"Is that boy your boyfriend?" Manon knows the future

I like that Marinette's immediate concern is about Manon and not whether she is pretty enough to be in a photoshoot. It's rare to see female characters being secure about their looks.

Alya what are you talking about? Marinette is the Prince Charming.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE YOU NEED TO LEARN TO RUN FASTER

There she goes again, transforming in broad daylight

I just realised that Adrien hasn't spoken for nearly 11 minutes in this episode.

The heroes of Paris need to learn how to hide. Kids, learn how to hide.

Yo yo hits Ladybug's head for once.

Ah, here is the iconic verbal battle between Chat Noir and Stormy Weather which ended in Chat getting his behind yeeted halfway across an entire city

Hand kisses are a gesture of gallantry and chivalry in France, salters doing a lil bit of research of would easily tell them that

KIDS PLEASE RUN

THIS GIRL CALLS OUT HER ATTACKS AND EVERYONE JUST STANDS THERE

She saved him!

He always lands on top lmao

Chat....I said run away from her not run at her....

When I first watched Ladybug grab Chat's tail to catch him, I thought his tail was real it would have been hurting for him lol

They are bumbling around a lot I'm this episode, compared to them today. Which is fine, really, they're still new to the job

Seriously, where is the promo for Aurore??

Okay he petted his tail like her pulling on it actually hurt him. Now I have a valid excuse for thinking his tail was real

There are akumas and then there's Stormy Weather. Ladynoir aren't even able to touch her until the end of the episode

Flying cars from the future!!

Chat getting caught in between two cars kwkekkejrhdj

Aaaaaand there's the bus that's gonna crash them

I'm thoroughly convinced Ladybug's yoyo has a thing for Chat's head.

Her giggle is so cute

Alya is really going to make an amazing mom

Remember when Hawkmoth actually tried to direct his akumas into trying and defeating the heroes?

What happened Hawky? You used to be a decent villain.

"Maybe she's got some unresolved anger issues." "Or she didn't pass her driving test"

Ladybug has no idea how right he is about the swimsuit thing

This entire episode is proof that Ladybug and Chat's banter is fully two sided.

In this episode, they get tricked by Stormy Weather. In Reflekta THEY'RE the ones who pull the TV station feint on her! Growth? Growth.

How did destroying three spotlights cause a power outage in the entire building...?

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

BRING BACK CHAT'S NIGHT VISION

Frosty the Snowgirl

Cursed potato. Who eats potates raw?

"I think I can manage to-" *nearly gets hit by a fire extinguisher* "-follow your lead on this one" That will never stop being hilarious to me.

HAND HOLDING THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS OMG

Their facial expressions are amazing

"We're about to be obliterated but atleast we'll be dry."

Ooooh the way he pulled her in front of him and pulled his baton out at the same time was so smooth!

I never realised that the animation of Chat destroying the billboard in Kwami Buster was actually reused footage from Stormy Weather.

Ah. I was wrong. Aurore has one billboard. That's totally equal and not biased at all.

Why did Stormy Weather's screams make me laugh?

Is Chat just floating in mid air? How-how did he get up there? How is he staying there?

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

Marinette still out here trying to be responsible!

"You and Ladybug are best friends!" Sorry Manon looks like you've mistaken Marinette for Lila

DID YOU SEE HOW HAPPY ADRIEN WAS THAT MARINETTE WAS JOINING HIM IN THE PHOTOSHOOT??

AND HOW HIS FACE IMMEDIATELY FELL WHEN HIS PHOTOGRAPHER RUINED IT BY CHOOSING A YOUNG CHILD WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT TO MODEL WITH HIM??

Honestly maybe this is just me talking after watching Season 3, but this episode doesn't interest me like it used to. Not because it's a bad episode, it isn't, not at all, just that there's nothing important to take away from this. Stormy Weather is like the Bakerix of Season 1.
