For some reason Ghostbug is very insistent on making sure that Adrien is getting some sleep and eating regularly. Not that he minds... It's actually kind of nice that someone is paying attention to him as a normal human being rather than a fashion advert or role model superhero.
And Ladynoir totally weren't dating in the forgotten timeline. They just have a lot of feelings for each other that never got fully addressed

With the new comic it changes how I see the events in Villain Dad AU. Instead of if just being that the broken miraculous takes life to make life Emelie repeatedly using the Peacock to keep Adrien a “Perfect Child” instead of loving him as a real child is why Sabine got sick like she did. If she had only used the peacock to make Adrien initially then it might not have manifested as such.

is adrien a sentimonster in this au? could you say (i mean if he is, that could affect your au alot and you might not want to say anything about the future) there were no hints so far but y’know there are so many questions yet to be answered and well, i have a million and one
Basically, it'll never come up in the comic. I started it before Season 4 and before the theory really gained any legitimate traction, so whether or not he's a sentimonster isn't incorporated into the story at all.
Personally, I am a 100% believer in sentiadrien and kind of of the opinion that Adrien being a sentimonster is core to the story of Miraculous Ladybug, because it's probably what kicked off the entire magical events of the series (i.e. why his mom used the peacock, aka why she got sick, aka why gabriel became hawkmoth, etc etc). So like, do I personally think he's a sentimonster in my AU? Probably, yeah. I mean, I don't have any reason to go out of my way to change the circumstances of Emilie's demise.
But again, it's totally irrelevant to the comic, and I don't have any plans on foreshadowing/implying/hinting at it, so if any readers don't like the theory, feel free to headcanon him as totally 100% human. He's not officially anything in my comic unless I actually put it in the text, and I'm not going to do that, so... you know. Interpret it however you'd like!
It's also worth mentioning that if Adrien or Marinette knew that he was a sentimonster, it would definitely affect the story/how I've been writing them... so if he is one, nobody knows it and they'll never find out... so... lol

WIP Game
Yesterday I RBd a thing where you list your WIPs, then people send you asks about specific ones, and you share a little. @bohemianrhapsody711 asked about these:
Into the Bugverse
I am SUPER excited about this idea, but it's in very early stages (no actual snippets to share, just some disjointed points I'll fill in right now). It is, as you might guess, a riff on Into the Spiderverse. A bit of crack taken seriously where the multiverse is all the fics on Ao3.
We begin with a universe in which Marinette is navigating not to disappointing her parents, who want her to learn the family trade.
Chat Noir, who fought alone most of his life before Marinette was recruited (think of this as kind of a plot divergent Hey, Ribbons by childoflightningg aka @peggiecarter aka @annaethchase), has died (he was Felix Agreste). She's all alone as LB now. The whole of Paris mourns him.
She also meets the new kid, Adrien, and a new Chat Noir shows up. Suddenly, pulled through the "bugverse" into her own world is an older Marinette from another fanwork, possibly Semantitheft's L'Oublie Marinette. They bond while fighting the big bad (imagine a vibe kind of like @leviaana's wonderful comic about Minibug, the jaded older LB who still loves her younger self).
At a low moment for them, other Marinettes get pulled into her world, all from other fanfics. Maybe
a paranoid @buggachat BEAU Marinette or mistrustful one from @wackus-bonkus-maximus One Does Not Love Breathing
Maybe a Marinette from a Coffee Shop AU like Allez savoir pourqois by Yilena who has no powers but is still smart
Or possibly a blog AU like Chat Noir's Miraculous Award for Truly Magical Food by @mommadon. Non-magic Marinette will receive a miraculous as a temp hero!
Marinette from a fic where she's pregnant as fuck but still fighting (the one I'm thinking of it's kind of a twist she gets pregnant later on, so I won't mention it).
Definitely Marinette from Ghost in the Machine by @jheqiawrites alongside her AI companion Adrien.
Possibly an akumatized Marinette
lip service to the MariBat fandom with a very well-capitalized MARINETTE (see what I did there?) from Miraculous LadyBat by BoxTops
a princess or knight Marinette like from A Royal Pain by jheqia and @sing-in-me-oh-muse
At some point in the fighting, we find out that Adrien died young in this universe and Papillon and Peahen are the enemies, and they're trying to get the miraculous to wish him back to life.
The Adrien in this universe is actually from a universe where Marinette/Ladybug is dead, and OMG, Marinette, he's Chat Noir!!!! Possibly from Hamburger Ladybug by @raspberrycatapult or from Last Wishes by @kasienda
Blah blah save the world, everyone returns to their universes. Hint at sequel that brings in other fanfics' Ladybug versions! Do we get a transdimentional love story?? Who knows? I DO!! (I don't.)
I think there's something of an ethical issue for me about using other people's Marinettes for my story, but I think if it's crack it's more OK (it's somewhat like parody) than if I were creating spinoffs with the same tone. BC to be honest, I suspect none of the BNFs would ever see a message from me asking permission. Better to beg forgiveness, right?
Miraculous: Bachelorette Edition
Alya, sick of watching Marinette flounder into her 20s, unable to confess to Adrien, submits her friend in secret as a potential Bachelorette for a reality TV show where many men vie for her hand. Through the magic of crack, a bunch of guys from the show end up contestants: Adrien (his father made him), Luka (he's pan so why not?), Nathaniel (STILL IN DENIAL about his feelings for Marc), Theo the sculptor with the bad soul patch, etc. Oh, and much to Ladybug's annoyance, Chat Noir is also a contestant?!
All of Paris is begging for Pajamagirl x Adrien Agreste
This is going through revisions in my head, but the initial kernel that is actually written down in my WIPs is
Ladybug falls in a crowded area and unconscious, de-transforms. Someone takes their camera out. "Don't you fucking take that picture. Hawkmoth can't know who she is!" Some teen girl "Is that Pajama Girl? Annette, I think that's Pajama Girl!" "OMG Charlotte, you're right! "Wait, didn't Adrien say in an interview that his celebrity crush is Ladybug?" "Dude didn't I see that Chat Noir took her on a date to Andre's?" Marinette wakes up surrounded by people, freaks out. "Don't worry girl, we're not gonna tell anyone, and no one took any pictures. Your secret's safe. Later that day, Annette and Charlotte get #adrienshoulddatepajamagirl trending on social media. Gabriel, who turns out to have been full of SHIT when he told Marinette that he determines what the public wants, pressures Adrien to date his Very Good Friend for the brand.

Creepsters AU - Important Students Part 1
Alya: An aspiring investigative journalist in the same class as our heroes. Though she has faith in Kagami and Adrien, for some unknown reason, she is deadset that Marinette’s intentions are not as good as she claims! Constantly attempting to prove her claims, her bombastic way of going about her sleuthing makes it difficult for people to take her seriously.
Alix: One of Marinette’s closest ‘normie’ friends, Alix is a headstrong daredevil who is never afraid to jump into combat with the creepsters, despite their supernatural abilities. While she will typically be the one to reign Marinette in, she’s also the first one to test an actual invention no matter how crazy. Close with Nathaniel as well, she is often the one comforting him over his shame at his maniacal ancestor.
Mylene: Marinette’s other best friend, Mylene is a witch who uses the natural magic of the earth to heal the wounded and sick. She often serves as Marinette’s voice of reason, advising her when she starts to go over the edge, as well as trying to keep Alix out of the trouble. Though she is kind and gentle, she often comes off as frightening with her manner of speech and her wicked-sounding laugh. She has a very loving and sweet relationship with her boyfriend, Ivan, a werebear. Mylene assists the hero trio with healing potions and protective wards. She gets along quite well with Herushingu, as well as Adrien, though he does find her frightening at times.
Nino: A friendly young aspiring DJ, Nino is Adrien’s best bud, always encouraging him to get out and have fun. He’s also fond of Chat, backing his hype whenever his triggers an appearance. He’s also a devoted boyfriend to Alya, trying fruitlessly to convince that Marinette isn’t on the side of evil.
Ondine: Kagami’s longtime best friend and a fellow monster hunter, Ondine is the optimist to Herushingu’s pessimist. Ondine prefers to take a non-lethal approach when hunting, though she will end a monsters life if necessary. She and Herushingu love to bicker for the sake of it, often betting chores on who wins. She absolutely loves her boyfriend, Kim.
Max: Marinette's childhood friend and the only one that's on the same level of intelligence as her. An inventor who sticks to robotics, The Kante's and Von Bugg's have been close with each other for generations, collaborating on innovations in science. A studious and collected young man, who often serves to translate to the other classmates what his friend is trying to say in a way they'll understand. He helps out the heroes via lending them his tech to use on occasion.
Marc: The descendant of the wicked Count Marcula, Marc is a shy boy with a passion for writing, especially comics. He despises his ancestor and everything he stands for, so he is learning the trade of killing vampires from Herushingu. His companion in this is his boyfriend, Nathaniel.
Nathaniel: Marc’s boyfriend, the descendant of the deeply unsettling Nathfield. A shy boy with a sharp tongue, he uses snark to mask his insecurities. Due to his loathing of his ancestor, he avoids painting of any kind, sticking to drawing in his sketch pad. He trains alongside Marc with Herushingu.
Ivan: Mylene’s boyfriend, a tall and burly teenaged boy who happens to be a werebear, changing into his large and hairy ursine form when the moon is out. A gentle and kind boy at heart, he uses his strength to protect others, especially from the creepsters, who cursed him into this state. He makes sure to stay calm, as he doesn’t want people to fear him. He absolutely adores his girlfriend, Mylene, they love snuggling together when he’s in his bear form.
Kim: The captain of several of the schools sports teams, Kim is a friendly guy who’s not always the sharpest tool in the shed. He’s always ready to jump into the fray with the creepsters, and trusts new people rather quickly. He’s a bit of a jokester, though he never means any harm. He’s very devoted to his girlfriend, Ondine.
Chloe: Spoiled rotten and convinced she is more popular than she is, Chloe treats everyone around her like garbage. She uses her father’s influence to force people to do as she wants. Though she harassed the descendants of the creepsters, she is in truth working behind the scenes to fund their exploits. However, she may be about to learn a hard lesson.
Sabrina: Chloé’s ‘bestie’, though that’s not a title she happily holds. Sabrina tries her best to keep Chloe in line, though more often than not, her efforts are in vain. She harbors a secret love for sports, which she grows to embrace as she breaks away from Chloe, making new, more genuine friendships.
And that’s merely part 1! There are loads of important characters studying at DuPont! A huge thanks to Weeby for providing the summaries, I couldn’t do it without her. As usual, make sure to reblog, reply, post and ask to share the content. @artzychic27 @msweebyness

Have I fed you well my thirsty kids?! FELIX MY BOY THEY DID U SO WELL 💕😭🙏🏻
This is a redraw of this scene cus I’m thirsty and I know you guys are too heh also I didn’t draw the feathers on the hood cus that’s too hard 🥲
Tumblr media
Hehe I kept seeing thirst traps of him on TikTok and this frame of his shushing got me like this
Tumblr media
Also before anyone asks I haven’t seen the full episode all Ive seen is Felix stuff and my brother gives me his updates on the show and says the theories of Adrien and Felix being sentimonsters is basically canon (he really loves this theory idk) at this point which I hope isn’t true cus a. That’s fucked up for a kids show, b. It’s lazy writing in my opinion — it’s like how screwed up can we make Adrien guys D:
also I personally think it’s not true due to the Feast episode where Nathalie freaked out at the amok frog thing cus she was basically fusing with the miraculous at that point and could sense it so if Adrien was a sentimonster wouldn’t she have done the same reaction? Like make it make sense.
From what I have seen from the episode — the animation is looking really good suddenly? Whoever did the lighting for the episode deserves a raise — my brother told me a different studio did this episode so kudos to them. Felix’s story and character finally looking really interesting, I still wish he wasn’t a carbon copy of Adrien. Hence why I draw him with a sharper chin and eyes; makes him look more cunning and mature.
Anywayyy I am working on my favourite things rn I want to finish the storyboarding of the entire comic before I post anything related to it so it might be a while — many of you know i have written out the entire plot it’s just drawing takes a while and I’m trying to find a new job cus I’m sick of my current one atm and with Christmas around the corner I’m v busy I’m hoping January maybe but I really can’t guarantee :)
When I do start releasing pages again I hope you guys will love it cus I’m working super hard to ensure it will be great! You just have to be super patient 🥰💕

Violence ask: 3, 12, 16, 25
screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
Fandom: *sees adrien dressed in a dress as a princess metaphor* omg he's so genderfluid! Adrien breaking the gender binary! (actual take from several people)
A) It was a fantasy squence. adrien himself did no such thing B) the metaphor falls on it's face via the fact that the imagery is meant to envoke a "haha funny adrien in a dress"! via simplifying it to a "princesses are damsels in distress" narrative. The exact message could have been gotten across via him wearing clothes that do match his gender identity (even comically so with the big poofy medieval noble pants and turned up shoes or w/e) but it was depicted and intended to be taken in a mocking and demeaning way. C)... it's zag. Do you really think they're SO progressive when they won't even confirm Julerose?
Look.. like.. if you got a headcanon that Adrien could be nonbinary, I think that's fun! I personally see it a bit too! but don't use the show's JOKES to try and lend credit to that theory.
the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
Uhhh. Sabrina! Shes always played off as a joke and if anyone genuinely deserves a "redemption" arc...? it's her. She's got the chops to be a good kid who suffers under several layers of abuse and could be so great if she was able to unlearn that and affirm herself and discover her own personality and likes and work to become a better person.
You know all those... salt fics where Marinette is exiled by her classmates and then becomes besties with Lila or Chloe? Do that, but with Sabrina. That would be fun. Two underdog unpopular kids. They could have a sleepover, and Sabrina can feel what it's like to have a real friend who cares about her and Marinette can have someone who isn't always trying to push her around or into Adrien- I'd read that.
common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
Chloe Redemption Believers. I get it. They walked back on it. I am annoyed by it too. But if her redemption mattered so much to you, why are you still here? We are never getting the girlboss rich blonde girl. We got Zoe instead- that's the prize we win for keeping ML popular!

Remember my TOH Miraculous AU?
Well, I just got an idea of how to translate Eda's curse into it.
Eda has the Owl Miraculous, but it's damaged. Instead of making her sick, it turns her into the Owl Beast unless she drinks a special potion.
I got the idea from this fan comic called A Furry Situation, where Adrien's ring gets damaged, and he slowly transforms into a werecat.
Oh dope tho!

So I got tagged by @casadefreewill to do this tag game! (for those of you who don't know, they were my artist for the Miraculous Big Bang and I adore their art!!) I have a ridiculous number of WIPs so I decided to make my own post so it wouldn't end up any longer than strictly necessary. you're going to regret tagging me by the end of this
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!)  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!
~~~~ DO NOT CLICK THE READ MORE UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO READ MORE
I make up story ideas like I'm handing out fistfuls of candy on Halloween. You have been warned.

Sugar & Spice, Chapter 4: Evillustrator
<- Previous Chapter / Next Chapter (WIP)
And then, Stormy Weather is blown away by her own parasol turned against her, and the great Mightyllustrator saves the damsel in distress!
“Oh, Mightyllustrator, you’re my hero!” the Damsel cries out.
“Heh, it was nothing.” the hero responds nonchalantly.
“I love you, Mightyllustrator!”
“I love you too, Marinette
Nathaniel Kurtzberg, a red-haired student of Francoise Dupont Lycee, sighs as he crosses out a number of things in his comic.
Wrong, wrong, it’s all wrong! No matter how much I try to envision it or dream it up, I can’t come up with a good story. Besides, it’s not like I’d ever get a real chance to rescue Marinette like this… The young artist thinks to himself, mentally comparing his damsel figure to the similarly shy but determined target of his affected, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Nathaniel only met Marinette last year, but in the short time he’s known her, he’s known her to be a kind and charitable girl who’s been relentlessly targeted by Chloe Bourgeois for, according to his classmates, three years now. He doesn’t know why it started, and frankly, he doesn’t care. All he knows is that Marinette is a sweet, caring soul who doesn’t deserve the bull-
“Nathaniel!” a ruler slams into his desk, and the meek redhead jumps at the sight of Mme. Mendeleiev, the purple-haired science teacher. “What are you drawing?” she asks with a cruel snarl on her face, clearly annoyed that this has had to interrupt her lesson, and he gulps nervously.
“Wa, well, it’s, erm…” the young man stammers.
“These artistic endeavors of yours are clearly why you are failing science,” she says. “You have been given the option to join the art program before, but your continued ignorance of this opportunity has not gone unnoticed. March down to the principal’s office and tell him just why you’ve been doing so poorly in my class!” she orders, and the redhead gulps.
“Yes, ma’am…” he says softly and gets up, tripping over a bag and gasps, landing on the floor, his sketchbook landing open on the ground. He reaches for it, but it’s snatched up by Chloe.
“Ooh! Look, Sabrina! It's him as a superhero! And look who he's saving! It's Dupain-Cheng!” She teases.
“It’s who?!” Marinette exclaims with a blush, and several other classmates join the confusion, most of which Adrien. Which, frankly, Nathaniel can understand- that short display of anger Marinette showed him on the first day of school only impressed Nathaniel further.
“He’s totally crushing on you, you know.” Chloe taunts Marinette.
“Doesn’t seem like much of your business,” Alya retorts, defending her best friend.
“Gimme that!” Nathaniel snatches his book away from Chloe, blushing deeply.
“Enough! Nathaniel, go!” Mme. Mendeleiev states, clearly sick and tired of the interruptions to her lesson. “No more gossiping, or you’ll all be joining him in the office!”
Nathaniel rushes out of the room, not even meeting Marinette’s gaze as he does so. Lost in thought and despair, Nathaniel’s eyes wander as he moves towards the office on autopilot.
Chloe. She ruins everything! She’s devoted to ruining Marinette’s life, and she humiliates and degrades everyone around her for no good reason other than the fact that she can. She’s evil- the kind of evil that Marinette needs to be saved from.
Nathaniel stumbles just a bit as he walks, and his pen falls to the ground. He picks it up, his body moving automatically as a purple butterfly enters the pen. Nathaniel could hardly comprehend what was happening before a voice entered his mind, commanding and omnipotent through his thoughts as the helpless boy’s anger turned to an uncontrollable hatred and rage against his will.
“Are you tired of having your spirit crushed? Evillustrator, I am Hawkmoth, your friend and patron of the arts. I’m here to offer you support…but I don’t give this kind of power for free. I have a couple of items that need retrieving.”
“Name the price, and it’s yours,” Nathaniel says with contempt, transforming into Evillustrator in the darkness of the halls, leaping to the rafters to hide and wait for his prey to emerge.
---
Nathaniel? Crushing on me? I don’t even know him that well! Marinette thinks to herself.
He’s so sweet, though! He didn’t deserve to be humiliated like that, even if I don’t feel the same way.
I should talk to him, though. I’ll catch him after class.
“The next particle physics presentation group is Nino, Adrien, and Alya!” Mendeleiev announces, insistent on not letting students pick their own groups. Luckily, her loud tendencies snapped Marinette out of her thoughts.
Wow, lucky. Marinette thinks to herself, remembering that it seems like Adrien is as intelligent as he is pretty…or at least, he’s pretty good at recalling information.
“And then Sabrina, Chloé and Marinette.” Mendeleiev states and Marinette feels her heart drop.
“Oof…unlucky.” Alya cringes.
Marinette looks over at Chloe, who has a malicious grin on her perfect little face.
No no no no no no no no-
“Mademoiselle!” Marinette suddenly stands up, fear evident and spiking. “C-can I work alone, please?”
“This is a group presentation, Marinette,” Mendeleiev states. “It’s a policy of mine not to give any of my students unfair advantages or disadvantages. You’ll have to deal with it.”
“Are you gonna be okay, Marinette?” Alya asks as the bluenette slumps back into her chair.
“I…I’ll be fine, Alya!” Marinette says with a smile. “Better than fine! Don’t worry about me!”

Marinette stands beside Sabrina as Chloe goes through her locker with a smug look on her face.
“Forget it! I don’t have time for some dumb project. I’m sure you two can handle it on your own. You’re still nice and efficient when you put your mind to something, aren’t you, Marinette?” Chloe grins, her voice like a toxin in Marinette’s ears.
“That’s fine, Chloe!” Sabrina says. “We can do all the work, don’t worry!”
It would be easy to let this happen. To have a few days of peace while I do everything she said.
“It’ll be just like old times,” Sabrina says.
I…I don’t want to go back to old times.
“No,” Marinette says, determined.
“What was that?” Chloe glares her way.
“I said no. Those bridges have long been burned by both of us. I’m not going back to how things were!” Marinette starts to yell, and Chloe takes a step back, as if surprised by the determination that now shines in Marinette’s eyes.
“Oh, it’ll be okay, Marinette!” Sabrina says, trying to defuse the tension. “It’s all equal! I do the research, you do the writing, and Chloe presents it! That way, it’s equal.” she explains. “Chloe and I have been doing this for years, you remember!”
“I remember plenty,” Marinette says coldly. “I remember,” she turns to Chloe, “that you’re too thick to do anything yourself, so you throw your money and influence at whatever useful people you see, taking advantage of the most talented people you can find and assume they’ll stick with you just because they’re afraid of you!” She grits her teeth. “Just because they care for you. That’s not how friends work.”
“Not only am I Sabrina’s best friend,” Chloe stomps her foot, “I’m her only friend. Because when I find someone and make them mine, they are nothing without me.”
“Well, maybe some people would rather be nothing than have you!” Marinette shouts, and Chloe looks taken aback and shocked by the statement. Guilt immediately pangs Marinette.
Maybe I went too far…
“Chloe, I-”
“Whatever!” Chloe flips her hair, walking past Marinette and Sabrina. “I’ve got more important things to worry about. My hair is a hot mess and Jean Claude promised to work his magic. Later!” she slams the door and storms off, leaving Marinette and Sabrina behind.
“...fuck.” Marinette leans against the locker and falls to her knees, hands at her face to try and keep the tears from coming. “What happened to us…?”
“Marinette…are you okay?” Sabrina asks, and Marinette turns her head away. “I…thank you. I’ve never seen you stand up to anyone like that before, and…you did it for me.” she holds out her hand to Marinette. “Chloe will cool down, I promise. She just has to think…maybe you’ve finally given her something to think about.” Sabrina gives a pained smile.
Marinette looks up and takes Sabrina’s hand, letting her help her get up.
I hope so.
---
Watching from the rafters of a library, three girls enter- first two, then another, and they begin to argue. He only cares for one of them. He only hates another. He grins wide as he prepares his tablet and begins to draw…
“Ugh! What do you mean, you’re not doing my assignment?!” Chloe exclaims, scowling at Marinette and Sabrina.
“I-I’m not your slave, Chloe! Marinette’s right, you haven’t been treating me like a friend!” Sabrina defends herself.
“Well, Marinette Dupain-Cheng didn’t buy you a super cute beret at Gabriel, and I did!” Chloe boasts, holding up a new beret she clearly had delivered to the school after she stormed out.
Marinette visibly seethes in her chair.
“It…it is a cute hat…” Sabrina says, seeing Chloe holding up the hat. “And it would look good on me…” she mumbles.
“I won’t pretend to have any excuses.” Chloe huffs. “But you, Dupain-Cheng, are trying to steal my friend from me, with homework!” Chloe declares pompously.
You wanna bribe, Chloe? Let’s give you plenty to work with.
Suddenly, from above, a pile of berets falls on the rich girl!
“AGH! My hair!” Chloe complains.
From the ether, a massive hairdryer materializes and starts tormenting Chloe, who begins to scream in fear and run away.
---
“Er…was that an akuma?” Sabrina asks.
“Or the byproduct of one.” Marinette surmises. 
Okay, I’ve planned for this: make distance from civilians and transform.
“Let’s split up!” Marinette tells Sabrina. “It’ll be easier to dodge it that way. You can meet me at my house, it’s not far from here- you remember where the bakery is, right?”
“Um…y-yeah!” Sabrina nods.
“Good, go!” Marinette orders, and she and Sabrina take off in different directions. If we’re lucky, Chat Noir and I will have this akuma handled by the time I make it home.
She hides between some of the scarcely used shelves and grins. “Tikki, Spots On!”
From the shelves, Ladybug emerges and pins the hairdryer to a bookshelf. “Hide, now!” she orders, and Chloe runs away.
“I’ve gotten wind that you were being blown away by a hairy situation!” she hears a familiar voice quip, and Ladybug rolls her eyes at her partner’s humor.
“Less punning and more action, Chat Noir!” she leaps up and lands beside him. “It’s not a real akuma, just some kinda byproduct. Made by it, or something.”
“Well, then I don’t have to feel bad about doing this! Cataclysm!” He declares, and lunging for the hairdryer, it disintegrates into dust, and they all hear an exclamation of pain- a backlash for destroying something an akuma controls.
Looking up, they see some kind of feedback coming from the arm tablet of a purple man in a beret and awfully odd clothes.
“Well, that guy looks pretty sketchy!” Chat quips.
The two chase the akuma, but he gets away by creating a wall.
“He got away…most akumas we’ve faced have run to get a better vantage point, but that’s only after trying to fight us.” Ladybug murmurs. “Where could he be going?”
“I don’t know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point.” Chat grins, and Ladybug can’t help but wheeze out a frustrated chuckle.
“Is there some kind of punning superpower I don’t know about?” she teases her partner.
“I got more where that came from, I can do this all day!” Chat grins.
Ladybug shakes her head, her smile never leaving her face. “Alright, the akuma was targeting Chloe Bourgeois, so we should find her.”
“To the Grand Paris!” Chat Noir points dramatically in the wrong direction.
---
“Seems like the akuma’s targeting you specifically, Chloe. Any idea why?” Chat Noir asks, standing with Ladybug in Chloe’s room in the Grand Paris. Ladybug is tapping her foot impatiently- she probably has somewhere to be. She’s a busy little bee! Er, bug. That’s why they need to be so efficient; unlike Adrien, Ladybug’s civilian identity actually has a life outside the mask.
“No! Everyone adores me.” Chloe states.
“Right, 'cause you’re sooo adorable…” Ladybug mutters, and Chat holds back a laugh at his partner’s sarcasm. Unfortunately, Chloe doesn’t seem to pick up on it.
“Yes! Ladybug just said I'm adorable! I totally need a picture of the two of us together!” she says and forcibly takes a selfie of them both with her phone, and afterward Ladybug walks to the balcony with Chat.
“That was unpleasant…” she mumbles.
“Well, I look great, of course, but your smile is all wonky. I'll take another!” Chloe says from behind them, but Ladybug stops her.
“Not now, Chloe. I’m…camera shy,” she says as she continues onto the balcony with her partner.
“Well, someone’s got a fan.” Chat Noir teases.
“Yeah, great.” She rolls her eyes.
“Alright, what’s bugging you? No pun intended this time, either.” Chat says with a gentler smile.
“Let’s just say I can’t stand this girl, even with a mask on.” she sighs and looks at her bugphone.
Eh, that’s not really a clue. Chloe tends to leave a bad impression on most people- Ladybug could be a student at Dupont, but she could just as easily be the daughter of someone working for Chloe.
“I…I need to go.” Ladybug says hesitantly. “I have somewhere to be if I want to preserve my identity. I can probably be back in a few hours- can you protect her until then?” Ladybug asks.
“I can handle it Ladybug, no sweat! Go, go! Make an alibi.” Chat Noir insists, giving his leader a salute.
The smile Ladybug gives him as she swings away makes his heart flutter more than the little butterflies that plague Paris.
“Ahh! Ladybug! Text me!” Chloe calls after her desperately.
---
Marinette breathes deeply as she arrives home, seeing Sabrina pacing around in the main room of the bakery. She steps in, and Sabrina runs up to her.
“MarinetteIwassoworriedItriedcallingbutyouneverpickedupIwasworriedtheakumagotyou-” Sabrina begins rambling, and Marinette smiles kindly, taking Sabrina’s wrists before she can drape herself over Marinette.
“Whoa, Sabrina! Calm down. I just got a bit turned around, and my phone ran out of charge.” 
And to cover my bases, I turned my phone off before stepping inside.
“So…you’re okay?” Sabrina asks.
“I’m okay. Come on, let’s go upstairs and get our project started,” she says with a kind smile.
Marinette and Sabrina don’t talk much. They divided the project into three actual equal parts, created a shared slideshow, and sent it to Chloe with a list of what she’ll need to do. While they work, they don’t talk much, even when Sabrina tries to start it. Quite honestly, Marinette doesn’t want to talk with Sabrina for too long.
If I talk with Sabrina too much, she’ll start talking about Chloe, and…and I don’t want to talk about her right now.
About 30 minutes pass, the duo making a good start on their project, and as Sabrina’s about to come up with some snacks Mari’s parents made, the girls hear what sounds like some kind of wiping- Marinette’s on her bed, Sabrina on the ladder up to the room- and Marinette’s eyes widen as her window erases, and a familiar form enters the room: the akuma.
“You-!” Marinette’s eyes widened, resisting the urge to call for Tikki immediately. “What are you doing here?” she questions, but rather than the rigid expression she saw before, the man’s expression softens to a fond look.
That’s…not the look of someone who knows I’m Ladybug.
“I-I just wanted to see you!” he insists.
 Or it’s a fanboy. Then I’ve got a whole new thing to deal with.
“If that’s all you wanted, why did you attack Chloe?” Marinette questions.
 “Because Chloe is vicious and cruel!” he growls, and Marinette winces a bit.
“I can’t…argue with that,” she says hesitantly. “So…what happens now? Are you going to abduct me? Attack me?”
“Never,” the young man says, which catches Marinette a little off guard. “You’re Marinette! You’re beautiful, sweet, and kind, and smart and…you’re perfect, I could never hurt you!” he expresses with a lovestruck expression.
Okay, let’s think about this. Akumas increase emotional states. A crush turned to obsession…a disdain for Chloe that likely happened today…art coming to life…
As Marinette connects the dots, it’s like a window shattering. Her eyes widen as she sees Nathaniel’s face beyond the veil of the akuma, the Quantum Mask that shrouds identity broken for her and her only, bringing with it an uncanny feeling of confusion that she ever saw anything but the boy behind the mask.
Oh, Nathaniel. What has he done to you?
“Nathaniel, what happened to you?” Marinette asks, concerned.
“My name is Evillustrator now, Marinette. It’s my birthday tonight, and I was hoping we could have a party. Just you and me, on the seine!” he offers excitedly.
“Tonight…” Marinette whispers, seeing the trapdoor opening slightly, seeing the terrified Sabrina staring at the scene like a deer in headlights.
If I let anything loose about the group project, there’s no telling who he’ll hurt to make sure he has me to himself!
“I’ll do it,” Marinette says, and Evillustrator looks ecstatic. “On one condition.”
“Of course, Marinette!” Evillustrator grins. “Anything for you!”
“You can’t hurt Chloe. Or anyone anymore. No more fighting.” She orders.
“You are a gentle soul, Marinette. For you, and you only. I’ll wait for you next to Notre Dame, at sunset!” he expresses before leaping out of the window.
Marinette waits for a beat before groaning loudly, falling facefirst onto her bed.
“What were you thinking?!” Sabrina suddenly bursts through.
“I’m thinking that this is the only way to keep people safe!” Marinette says sadly.
“Marinette, you’re brave, but isn’t this a bit much?” Sabrina asks. “I mean, er…the project! We have to finish the project, right?”
She’s reaching for anything she can to try and get me out of this. Even after everything, Sabrina is sweet and kind.
“You should go home, Sabrina,” Marinette smiles. “You know me. I can get this whole thing cranked out by tonight.”
“Marinette…” Sabrina sighs. “I’ll…I’ll get my Dad! Then we can-”
“No.” Marinette shakes her head. “The Police are useless against akumas. I don’t want anyone else to be hurt.”
“Marinette…” Sabrina whimpers, but lowers her head to acquiesce. 
---
“Ohhh... Sabrina is so selfish! Making me do this project by myself?! Ugh, my brain hurts... Huh? Hey! Cat Noir, Are you any good at particle physics?” Chloe looks at the black cat, and he sighs a bit.
“Well, I’m not bad at it…” he says, trying not to share that he’s pretty good at science as a whole. Which Plagg laughs up considering how much of my life will now revolve around magic…
“Ah! Great!” Chloe says and pulls him by his arm. “Sit, kitty!” she orders and shoves project materials into his arms. “Now, make it sound purr-fect for my presentation. See what I did? I made a cat joke! Ha! I can be funny.” she states, and Chat Noir just stares at her.
“Hilarious,” he says sarcastically.
C’mon, Chloe, I’m trying to empathize with you, don’t make it so hard for me.
At that moment, his staff rings, and he drops the materials to the ground and starts to walk back out to the balcony. “Sorry, Mme., I've got a call from the Lady in Red!” he says and leans on the balcony as he answers. “You know, Ladybug, some may call it unprofessional to be catcalling during work hours.” Chat Noir teases and is met by a smirk.
“Well, what if I told you that you didn’t have to worry about Chloe anymore?” She asks.
“I’d say I’m listening. I didn’t see any magic ladybugs, so I doubt the akuma’s beaten…” Chat Noir responds.
“The akuma calls himself Evillustrator. He went to a civilian’s house and talked to her, and she answered some of my questions. Not only that, but he asked her on a date.” Ladybug explains.
“The akuma’s a lovebug? What, did Chloe diss his crush or something?” Chat asks.
“You could say that.” Ladybug sends an image, and Chat’s eyes widen. “Her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Cute, huh?”
Ah. I see why Chloe was attacked now.
“M’Lady, are you trying to set me up with an akuma’s crush? Scandalous.” he teases, and he can practically hear her rolling her eyes.
“I’ve told her my basic plan, and I’ll need you to protect her tonight and fight the akuma without me. I’ll be indisposed.” She explains.
Guess that alibi’s going on longer than expected. But hold on…
“What about your Lucky Charm? Or the Miracle Cure?” He asks, worried.
“I’ve gone over it with Tikki. This is the ideal time to test out the capabilities of our powers without the Ladybug, in case something happens to me. Evillustrator is more docile than most akuma, after all, so it’ll be more of a trial by matchlight than trial by fire.” she explains.
“A fair point,” Chat nods. “What’s the plan?”
“All Miraculous weapons have a kind of…hammerspace, for lack of a better term. Only the Ladybug can use that space to purify an akuma, since I then use the energy from that akuma with my Miracle Cure to pinpoint what exactly got broken and fix it. However, you can still hide the akuma in there, and it’ll remain even if you detransform. Keep the akuma contained, and we’ll meet at the Eiffel at Midnight for me to purify the akuma.” Ladybug explains.
“What about the Lucky Charm?” Chat Noir asks.
“I left it with Marinette for you. You’ll need to figure it out from there, but I’m sure it’ll come in handy,” she explains.
Chat sighs dreamily. “You really thought of everything.” he fiddles with his bell. “And…you really think I can do this without you?” he asks.
“I believe in you, Chat Noir. Take the akuma down,” she says, and he smiles.
“I won’t let you down, M’lady!” he says, determined, hanging up as he launches off.
“Hey! Where are you going?!” Chloe yells after him, but Chat just smiles as he heads for the Dupain-Cheng bakery.
---
Marinette had already told her parents about everything, and while they were terrified, Marinette assured them she’d be protected by Chat Noir, and she’d be arming herself with some pepper spray (though they insisted she also take a knife).
She looks down at the Lucky Charm in her hands- a small red tablet pen. As she turns it over in her hand, she hears an impact on the balcony above her, and she sighs. Showtime.
“Nathaniel…? Is that you…?” she wonders aloud, doing her best to sound as normal as possible, and as she heads to the balcony, she sees Chat Noir, bowing dramatically towards her (yet not making eye contact…weird).
“Good evening, young lady! The name’s Chat Noir.” he smiles wide.
“I assumed as much,” she smiles a bit and shakes his hand. “So, you’re here to protect me?”
“Yep! That birthday boy date of yours is bad news. Don’t worry, though, you’ll be safe with me!” the leather-clad hero boasts.
“That puts my mind at ease,” Marinette says, resisting the urge to tease him.
“But I may need a little help…” he says, frowning as he sees the tablet pen. “I hear you’re pretty creative. Care to assist a superhero?” he asks hopefully.
We haven’t even begun yet, and he’s already asking for help. Silly kitty.
“And what would Ladybug think of you asking another girl for help with your hero work?” she asks teasingly.
“Well, maybe you could be my Ladybug tonight.” he challenges, and the two grin at each other, before they blush a bit, as if they both realize some kind of mistake made, and turn away from each other.
“I couldn’t imagine fighting crime with the heroes of Paris. No matter how amazing it might be…” Marinette quickly dissuades.
“Yeah, erm…just get the pen from Evillustrator, and I can do the rest!” Chat Noir says.
---
Evillustrator sits on the boat of his own creation, sketching additional things for his date with Marinette. It has to be perfect, it must be perfect. She deserves nothing less.
“That is a lovely scene you’re setting.” the voice of Hawkmoth enters his mind. “But you’d best not get distracted, boy.” He threatens.
“I just want Marinette to love me…” he responds, and he feels a pang of pain enter his mind.
“And I want the Miraculous, so get them…or else,” he threatens, and Evillustrator feels a pain course through his body. “I’ll show you what else my Miraculous can do when a ‘failsafe’ is required.”
“Okay, I will, I will!” Evillustrator promises desperately, and the pain leaves him as he hears footsteps.
“Happy Birthday.” he hears, and he sees Marinette wearing a beautiful dress with a floral pattern, a purse at her side with a pair of flat shoes, and her hair tied in a braid down her back.
“Marinette!” the akuma stands up, smiling. “Thank you for coming,” he says, making a bridge for her to step onto the boat from the seine’s edge.
“It’s all so beautiful,” Marinette says as she steps on board.
“You like it? Well, hold on, ‘cause I’m just getting started!” He says gladly, about to draw something more, but dark clouds begin to roll in, blocking the moon from view. “No…no! Come on, you’ve gotta be kidding!” he complains, and after seeing the way Marinette looks at him, he tries to compose himself. “Uhm, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. It's just... I can't draw properly in the dark.” he explains and draws a glowing sphere in the nearby sky resembling the moon, using a lantern to supply light. “Voila!” he smiles.
The two ride on the boar, playing music from his pad, and Marinette soon scotts closer to him.
“You're very talented, Nathaniel.” She says.
“It’s Evi-” he begins, but Marinette puts her finger to his lips.
“Try as you might, Nathaniel, nothing you can do can make me call you evil,” she says gently, and he blushes deeply, unable to argue with her. “What I’d like to know is why you’d use this power to hurt people.” 
“Not all people!” Evillustrator clarifies. “Just Chloe. And I'll never do it again. After all, you were true to your promise, so I'll be true to mine.” He says kindly.
“I draw a little too, you know, for my fashion designs. I actually made what I’m wearing tonight.” She says, and his eyes light up.
“Really? It’s very pretty…” he says.
“Is it okay if I try drawing something?” she whispers to him, and he swallows. “I could draw something special for your birthday.”
“Y-yes…that would be amazing,” he says, and she touches the pen, both of their hands now gripping it, and then Evillustrator notices something out of the corner of his vision…a dark shape with glowing green eyes.
“Marinette, wait, give me the pen back. I need to draw something now!” he expresses.
“Sorry, Nathaniel,” Marinette responds and starts to run. “Chat Noir, the moon!”
“Cataclysm!” Chat Noir declares, destroying the moon Evillustrator created and causing a feedback that causes Evillustrator to wince, plunging everything into darkness!
“Marinette! Are you working with him? I'm so stupid... I actually thought you liked me! But you're really just like Chloe. Teasing me, mocking me, leading me on!” Evillustrator begins, gripping his head, and he charges for Marinette! He tackles her down, grabbing the pen from her as he throws her against Chat Noir, who catches her as the two seem to be thrown back!
“Now I’ve got you!” Evillustrator grins as he starts to draw on his tablet, crouching down to the lantern, but…nothing?
“Sorry, Evillustrator, but that’s not your pen,” Chat Noir smiles, and the akuma’s eyes widen as he sees the red pen with black spots, which he can only make out now in the light of the lantern. “This is!” Chat Noir snaps the real pen, and the akuma flutters out, which Chat Noir immediately catches inside of his staff.
“No-” Evillustrator exclaims as he transforms back into Nathaniel and falls to the ground, nearly passing out from the exertion.
“All right! Pound it!” Chat Noir says, and Marinette’s eyes widen a bit. “Oh, er…” Chat stammers. “Sorry, it’s a thing Ladybug and I do when we win, and…I guess it’s kinda muscle memory-”
“Hey.” Marinette smiles and holds up her fist. “It’s cool,” she says, and Chat smiles wide as they bump fists. “Now go find your Lady, so she can fix all of this,” she says, referring to the things Evillustrator had summoned, and she walks over to Nathaniel.
“Come on, Nathaniel. Let’s get you home…and talk.” Marinette suggests.
“Okay.” Nathaniel nods a little bit.
---
“So you don’t even know why they left?” Alya asks Chloe, exasperated. 
“Not at all! Clearly, that akuma knew not to mess with me.” She says, flipping her hair over her shoulder dismissively, and Marinette sighs as she watches failing to get very substantial information about the akuma from Chloe.
“So, you’re really going back to Chloe?” Marinette asks Sabrina, not too far away.
“She’s doing more than usual!” Sabrina tries to defend, but the new beret Sabrina is sporting doesn’t go over Marinette’s head.
Well…there’s some doubt there! Maybe.
“Hey, Marinette!” she hears Adrien call, and she smiles fondly as Adrien walks up to her. “I heard about your adventures with Chat Noir yesterday. Were you scared?” he asks.
“Oh, uh, plenty!” Marinette says.
Which isn’t really a lie. It was my first time going toe-to-toe with an akuma without the Miraculous.
“But Chat Noir was there! He saved me.” Marinette smiles.
“So, what did you think of Chat Noir?” Adrien asks. “Not many people talk about him. Was he awesome?”
“Yeah…he was.” Marinette smiles a bit. “Maybe cooler than you.” she teases, and he laughs a bit.
“Marinette, you wound me!” He smiles a bit playfully, and the two walk out of the classroom as the bell rings, chatting until they head to Adrien’s car, upon which he heads home.
I talked with Adrien! We joked around! We had fun!
Marinette’s eyes wander, and she smiles as she sees Nathaniel finally heading to the art club to give himself a proper outlet, so his emotions can no longer be taken advantage of, while everyone around her gossips about the recent KIDZ+ scandal regarding the Weather Girl competition, and the exact reason why there are two girls now, not just one.
Life is good.

Jean: Remember, Cosette, flatter the customer. Make her feel good.
*Cosette knocks on the door, Zoé opens the door*
Zoé: Hello?
Cosette: I love you.
Adrien: Let's change our names to Why and Bother.
Marc: CHOCOLATE!
Nino/Adrien: No! Don't hurt us. Please don't hurt me. No no. Please! No! Have mercy on me! Please spare me!
Marc: *Laughs maniacally* Finally! I've been trying to catch you boys all day! Now that I got you right where I want you... *Calm* I'd like to buy all your chocolate. *Holds up a large amount of cash.*
*Adrien and Nino look shocked. Chocolate bars fall out of Nino’s pants, along with a Hershey's kiss*
Austin Q: Okay, here it is, Jean, fresh from the oven. I'll be returning to my life now.
Jean: Not yet. I got to make sure you did it right. *Grabs a piece of the pie. He is about to eat it, then stops* Wait a second... this would go great with some milk! *While walking to the milk, he trips over a book* Whoops! *The piece of pie flies into the milk, causing an explosion, sending both Austin Q and Jean out of the classroom* … So, you tried to kill me over one performance of Pippin, eh?
Austin Q: But, Jean, I had no idea. I can explain!
Denise: Attention, DuPont, the time has come to double, no, triple our efforts!
Chloé: How about a break?! We've been at it for days!
Marc: *Holds up Kiran* Think about the children!
Denise: That's a good idea! Use the children to crawl into small places you couldn't normally reach.
Nino: *whispering to Alya* This is a load of bullshit.
Denise: I heard that! No one's going anywhere until we find Simon
Ivan: Uh... uh, wait! *picks up Nathaniel* Uh, here he is!
Denise: That ain't Simon! Simon doesn’t have bangs!
*Juleka cuts Nathaniel’s bangs*
Nathaniel: *in a poor imitation of Simon* I'm your boyfriend!
Denise: No you ain't!
*Nino plays a video on a phone which shows Nathaniel in a purple night shirt downing coffee*
Kim: Look, he's on the Coffee Channel.
Nathaniel: *Pours some creamer in his coffee before drinking it again* Hey! *Drinks more coffee* If anyone’s watching this, that means I'm asleep for the rest of the day. This is because, as an artist, I haven’t slept for hours due to working on various projects. In fact, the only reason I’m awake is because of coffee so I can make this video. And remember, artists don't like to be woken up, so do not disturb. *sternly* That means you, classmates.
Nino: Look what's in Nath’s bed.
Kim: *Points to his long, messed up hair and slightly pale skin* Looks like a feral version of him.
Nino: I think this thing is Nath.
Kim: Artist sleep must mean the opposite of beauty sleep.
Nathaniel: *snoring, talking in sleep* I've had enough of your crimes, Hawkmoth. I'm gonna get you and your partner, Mayura, or my name isn’t Mightillustrator...
Nino: *giggles* He must be dreaming he’s a hero again. Look out, Mightillustrator, I'm Bubbler.
Nathaniel: I'm gonna catch you and throw you in jail at taxpayers' expense.
Kim: Oh, you better run faster, Mightillustrator!
Nino: Yeah! I'm getting away! Faster! *Nathaniel moves his arms and legs*
Kim: Hurry, we're getting away with our crimes!
Nino: Faster, faster!
Nathaniel: I'll get you two. You're nothing but pure evil! Just like newspaper comics... *snores off to sleep, the two giggle again*
Nino: Come on, Kim. We shouldn't disturb him anymore.
Kim: That's not disturbing. This is disturbing! *Covers his mouth and speaks through his hand* Hi there, Nino. My name is KimHand.
Nino: Ha! That is really disturbing!
*The two laugh uncontrollably, waking Nathaniel up. Hearing a hiss, Kim stops laughing while Nino continues to laugh*
Kim: Uh, Nino? *Points to Nathaniel, out of bed and looking like something from a horror movie*
*Nathaniel hisses and bares a set of fangs. Kim and Nino run, but Nathaniel has them both by the their pants and gives them an extreme wedgie. They run in mid-air anyway*
Kim: Faster, Nino! He’s gaining on us!
Nino: *Crying from the pain of the wedgie* Nathaniel! No! Stop!
Nathaniel: I warned you, Hawkmoth! Now, you've just crossed the border into Hurtville!
Nino: Nathaniel, it's us, your friends! Kim and Nino!
Kim: Please, Nath, I can't afford dry cleaning!
Nathaniel: Gonna skin y'all and turn your blood… into... paint… *He falls asleep and drops the two. They inch away and see Nathaniel fall back into his bed*
Kim: Fun's over.
Luka: People, people, settle down! Okay, now. How many of you have played musical instruments before?
Ismael: *holding a triangle, raises hand* Do instruments of torture count?
Luka: No.
Kim: *holding a trumpet, raises hand* Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Luka: No, Kim, mayonnaise is not an instrument. *Kim raises his hand again* Horseradish is not an instrument, either.
Luka: Okay, try to repeat after me. *plays six notes on his guitar* Brass section, go. *Alya, Ismael, and Lacey repeat the notes* Good. Now the wind. *Marc, Reshma, and Max repeat* And the drums. *Ivan, Denise, and Kim misunderstand what Luka means, so they blow on their sticks which blow out and stick him to the wall* … Crazy how that didn't kill me.
XY: Well, Luka, this is exactly how I pictured your band would look.
*Rose grins and dances*
Luka: That's her... eager face.
Simon: *runs up, his eyes are shaped like hearts* Cosette! I'm glad I caught you. I want you to buy Denise-
Cosette: Wait! Don't tell me. You want me to run down to the store and buy Denise something they don’t need! Then you want me to run back here so you can say, "Cosette! Your spending all my money!" And then I'll say, "But Simon, I'm only doing what you said!" Then you'll say, "We're not talking about this..." *makes a triangle* ..."Or this"... *Makes a square* ..."we're talking about this!" *Squiggles all over the screen*
Cosette: Simon, don't. Don't cry, Simon! Come on. Okay, I, I'm going to get it, see? *Walks off, and comes back with a washing machine* Cheer up, Simon, Here's that washing machine you wanted.
Simon: Cheer up? How can I cheer up... when you're spending all my hard-earned cash?!
Cosette: SEE?! You just did it again!
Simon: Cosette, I can't help it if you're loose with other people's money. *Cosette gets a blank expression on their face* Do you think Denise will need a dryer to go along with that?
Nathaniel: *with brushes and several paints* All right, you two foul mouths. As punishment for making Marc faint with your cussing, you're going to help me- *Jams his foot on a stool then clutches it* Ow! My [Bleep] foot! What [Bleep] genius put a [Bleep] stool in a [Bleep] path?! Can't you see I got a [Bleep] foot here?! Oh! [Bleep]
*Nathaniel continues saying a bunch of swear words, censored out by bleeps; at this moment, Adrien and Nino count the swear words he uses*
Nino: Five, six, seven...
Nathaniel: ...a whole lotta [Bleep] and with a side of [Bleep], a heapin' helpin' of [Bleep] and a load of [Bleep]...
Adrien: Nine...
Nathaniel: Oh [Bleep] crabbin [Bleep] *cries in pain*
Nino: *Gasps* That's all 13, Adrien! We're gonna tell your mom, Nathaniel!
Nathaniel: *worried* No, please, not my mommy!
Ismael: You'll get massacred!
Denise: Ismael, look at me. What you think is big and what I think is big are two totally different "big"s.
Jean: *checks through the order, and sees no drink listed* But, you didn't order any...
Customer: *yelling furiously* How am I supposed to eat this pizza without my drink?!
Jean: But... but... *tears start rolling down his face*
Customer: Didn't you ever once think of the customer?! *throws the pizza box at Jean’s face* You call yourself a delivery boy? Well, I ain't buying! *slams the door. Jean goes over to Reshma, smiling and trying not to cry*
Reshma: Jean? Jean? It's okay. Jean? *Jean drops the pizza, falls over and starts crying* Jean? *Jean continues crying, and Reshma becomes furious. She grabs the pizza, stomps towards the customer's house and pounds on the door*
Customer: *answers the door, still angry*!Another one? Look, I told your little friend I ain't payin' for that!
Reshma: Well, this one's on the HOUSE! *brutally slams the pizza box at the customer's face*
Adrien: Do souls look like pickles?
Alix: Well… As a matter of fact, they do. And he puts them where you can never get them... in his soul bag. *drops the pickle into a backpack with “souls” written on the front. She laughs evilly as Juleka appears behind Adrien in a pirate costume*
Juleka: I've come for your pickle.
*Adrien jumps up screaming. Juleka takes off her hat and fake beard and laughs*
Alix: *She takes a sip of her drink; Rose laughs and Alix looks at her, but she stops before Alix turns around* Huh? *She takes another sip of her drink; Rose starts giggling again and then Alix turns around and looks at him, but Rose is silent again. Alix finishes her drink* Ah...
Rose: *laughs loudly* April Fools! *Alix grabs Rose by the collar, suddenly panicked*
Alix: What did you do to my drink?!
Rose... *giggles* I... *giggles*
Alix: You what?!
Rose: You asked for a couple of ice cubes in your drink, and I only put in one! *laughs*
Alix: *Chuckles* I guess that is pretty funny.
Dominique: Look, we already gave you the badge. And the law of the west says: no take backs!
Corinne: Since when?
Dominique: Shshshshshsh! So that means, you're the new sheriff!
Zia: What happened to the old sheriff?
Dominique: Uh, he's at Boot Hill. *Shows a picture of a cemetery with a sign saying Boot Hill*
Zia: And, why is he at boot hill?
Marquel: Because Old Dead Tree Hill was totally full. *Shows a picture of a full cemetery with a sign saying Old Dead Tree Hill*
Jacquet: ♪And if you think that's funny, let me tell you, sonny, you won't be laughing when you SEE...♪ *Citizens of DuPont Gulch gasp* ♪HIS...♪ *Marquel, Melanie, Rochelle, and Isaiah gasp* ♪BIG...♪ *Zia gasps* ♪RED...♪ *Dominique, Corinne, Sal, Lucille, and Alyssa, gasp* ♪…DEAD EYE!♪
Citizens of DuPont Gulch/Zia: ♪Dead Eye!♪
Dead Eye Armbruster: That's me! Dead Eye Armbruster!
Jacquet: Who?...
Melanie: We just sang a whole song about him!
Isaiah: I don't know how it could get any worse. *Zia and Alexander fall right in front of them*
Zia: Hi, guys! I'm back in the nick of time!
Alexander: We're heroes!
Isaiah: You're morons!
Marquel: It's too late. Armbruster’s taken everything!
Zia: But it's only 11:55. The final showdown always takes place at high noon.
Rochelle: Well, I guess the early bird gets the worm.
Sal: And all our clothes.
Alyssa: And our money!
Zia: You can't give up! Before I came here, I would've given up, too. But in the short 20 minutes I've known you, I've come to love DuPont Gulch.
Isaiah: Could you get to the point? We're freezing!

“Shut Away” One of my favorites of yours for the pure bittersweetness of it all 🥺
Time After Time? Very curious to see that conversation about how to keep Nathalie out of jail.
OK, so you know why this one took a while but:
“No,” her response is automatic, instinctual, she doesn’t even think have to think to say it.
“No?” In other circumstances Gabriel’s expression would be comical. Only there’s nothing funny about their situation. Nothing funny about the ruination of everything that they’ve worked for, of their lives, of Adrien’s.
“I’m not going along with this plan of yours Gabriel. It’s ridiculous- how can you even think it will work?”
“My lawyers think it would work.”
“Then I’ll get my own.”
“Nathalie,” it’s different to how she’s ever heard him say her name before, there’s a desperation in it, a strange light in his eyes she’s only ever seen turned on Emilie’s casket before, “why won’t you let me save you?”
“Because it’s not the truth.”
Gabriel throws his arms out, exasperation clear in every line of his body, “so what? Do you think if I wasn’t caught red-handed I wouldn’t offer every lie possible to claim I wasn’t Hawk Moth? Would you object to that?”
“No. Of course I wouldn’t but that’s not the same. That might save you, this will only damn you further, the magic might be exonerated, this...”
“It could save you,” his voice is small and quiet, and ironic as it is she has to remember that to himself Gabriel has always been the hero of this story no matter how much he enjoys playing the villain.
He’s just lost his chance of Emilie forever. It shouldn’t be a surprise he's casting around for any way he can for the next closest woman in his life. The one he still has with him, but might too lose the chance to see ever again. .
“We don’t know that,” she reminds him, “we don’t know that it would exonerate me, and if it doesn’t then everyone’s going to think that I was a stupid victim who couldn’t  handle myself, and that you abused me for nothing.”
The spectre of Adrien looking at her, looking at them both, thinking this tawdry tale his father wants her to spin is the truth makes her feel hot, and embarrassed and sick.
But embarrassment isn’t the only thing making her feel warm as fire burns behind his eyes again, and a shiver goes down Nathalie ‘s spine as he suddenly closes the space between them.
She backs up away from him. There’s a danger in their closeness she’s never felt before, but her back hits the wall.
His hand reaches up to caress her cheek, “I’ve already damned myself for Emilie. I have no compunctions about adding a little more blackness to my reputation to save you.”
“That’s not the same. Emilie’s your wife. I’m just-,” his what exactly she’s not quite sure, they both know this isn’t about her being his assistant, “I’m my own woman. I made my own choices. Why should justice come for you and spare me?”
“Why should you still suffer the effects of a Miraculous that you only put on to save me? Let me return the favour Nathalie.”
“Don’t,” she shuts her eyes. She’s  not even sure what she’s asking him to not do. It’s not just this fake testimony. It’s all of it. It’s how their chests are brushing right now. How he’s blocked her in.
“Don’t what?” his breath is hot against her face, “try to convince you not to ruin your life? Convince you that I need I know you’re out there at liberty, keeping an eye on Adrien, that I-“
Her eyes fly open. “You want me to keep going?”
She interrupts because that’s crazy, what can she do, and yet if this isn’t just for her, if this is for him and for what they’re been working for all along then some of her resistance is newly fragile, its foundations crumbing below it.
“No!” Gabriel other hand is suddenly on her waist, “you’re supposed to be safe, this is to keep you safe. So I know I’ve done one thing right, so I know I didn’t drag you down with me.”
“It’s not your responsibility to save me,” she attempts to argue back.
His nostrils flare. His jaw is tight. She expects him to yell.
Instead his words are steady and determined. “I want it to be.”
And then finally there’s no distance between them at all, his mouth on hers, desperate as if she holds the secret of their freedom inside her.
It’s inevitable.
Every smirk Gabriel and Nathalie have shared, every touch between Hawk Moth and Mayura, each bit of comfort offered after a defeat and as her health diminishes, it’s all led to this.
It’s impossible.
Nathalie fell in love with him because he’d prove a devotion to his family strong enough to do anything to get his wife back when she’d doubted love like people spoke of in stories ever existed in the real world.
“Gabriel,” she starts but he swallows the rest of it, and she’s overwhelmed by the sensations, by her emotions, by him.
He leaves a trail of kisses along her jawline, his hand on her waist moving down to the hem of her top.
She turns her head away to break it, “we don’t have time, they-“
“We’ve time enough.” He’s speaks directly against her lips, “let me do this for you Nathalie.”
Denying him in the moment seems possible regardless of whether he’s talking about what they’re doing right now or what he wants to do in court.
So despite knowing it’s wrong and she shouldn’t for so many many reasons and she’ll regret this she gives in to him.
On both.

tagged by the darling @m00sebaby! rules: post 10 of your favorite comfort movies and then tag 10 people (i can't promise ten people but i CAN promise ten movies!)
In no particular order:
The Brothers Bloom (2008) surprise surprise right? I watched this first in 2012 while going through Mark Ruffalo's filmography and I fell in love with it then and is one movie that just always kinda stuck in the back of my mind all these years. I rewatched it a couple of nights ago since I'm now going through Adrien Brody's filmography and I am happy to confirm that I was right in 2012. Best movie ever tbh I'm obsessed. It's also a Rian Johnson film and i just love that i loved his movies before i even knew it.
See How They Run (2022) It's a whodunnit! There's nothing I love more than a clever little one-off whodunnit! Sam Rockwell does an English accent Saoirse Ronan is so fun and keeps her own accent Adrien Brody is a sleaze bag it's based around an Agatha Christie story it's literally everything I'd want in a movie??? Truly don't think anyone cared about this movie as much as I do which is kinda funny I won't lie
Howl's Moving Castle (2004) Even if no one else got me i know Howl's Moving Castle got me. I watched this movie for the first time last year while i was sick and it has been a comfort ever since!
Far From The Madding Crowd (2015) Everyone has a Period Piece that is Theirs. and this one is mine! Literally my favorite period movie ever I know everyone talks about pride and prejudice but THIS movie man!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish i had more to coherently say about it but I don't all I can say is Matthias Schoenaerts.
Oceans 8 (2018) Listen. This is the best movie of the Oceans franchise. This one and Oceans 11 are the best okay. I dunno I just adore Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway in this movie specifically!!!!
Birds of Prey (2020) BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST!!!! The beginning of my love for Margot Robbie! It's just SO fun and SO exciting and I just think all comic movies should be this bright and fun and exciting and silly.
Logan Lucky (2017) Heist movies remain the best kind of movies. It's literally the FUNNIEST movie I've seen in a long time my mom and I can't stop quoting it.
Bullet Train (2022) Everyone said this was a shit movie but I can't hear them over how hard I laugh every time I watch it like is it stupid??? sure yeah but is it hilarious???? absolutely!!!! Also. Hiroyuki Sanada and Andrew Koji. That is all.
Young Frankenstein (1974) Literally. Best movie ever made. Funniest movie ever made. There's nothing else to say
John Wick 3: Parabellum (2019) It's my favorite of the franchise tbh? I've watched this one more than the others cause I just love this one the most
Tagging! @roderickstrong @werewolves @red-dipshit @saltydornishman @krischamplander
and anybody else who would like to do it! i'm always looking for new movies to watch
