Summary: Damian Wayne is the heir to the Bat, the Blood Son. Except, he wasn't always the only blood son. There was another, younger heir once, before Damian had left the league and his brother hadn't had the chance to join him. There was one alive heir to the Bat, and a second one, secret to all but him, that was gone. Danny Fenton is already tired of being the Ghost King. Not even six months into his reign, and he's having to deal with ectoplasmic leaking past Amity's borders and new, unknown threats against his people. And the fact that Gotham, the one city that he had mentally marked as off limits, seems to be where most of the problems are isn't helping.

It's been awhile since I've done any fic recs, so--
have some DPxDC and Danny Phantom fic recs!
DPxDC fics:
what was lost, found again by Halfagone
I just started reading this one and I'm only a couple of chapters in so far, but I already love it. Halfa is so good at writing angst, and I love the concept of Danny just finding Jason like this.
Textonymous Ltd. by LialeeEderian
A DPxDC + Miraculous Ladybug crossover. This one's a chatfic that has a lot of fun details and plot in it!
We're Coming Home by AKelaNakamura
An incredibly sweet (sfw) omegaverse fic. I love how oblivious Jason is in this, and the hurt/comfort is so good.
I Chose to Close My Eyes by TheWritingOwl
This one was written for a recent writing game in the HH server and ooooh the angst. I love the progression of the story in this one.
Silence by Finemeal
Oof this oneshot's got some good, good angst. Very somber vibes.
Snow Superstitions by halfagone
Halfa writes such good Danny/Tim fics. This one's somber and sweet <3
Makin' My Way to You by DisillusionedDanny
Demon twins/siblings is still one of my favorite tropes in this crossover and I love the idea of them going to find each other when shit hits the fan.
The Stiches That Bind Us Together by Die_Erlkonigin6083
Identity shenanigans AND sickfic?? Yes fucking please. I love it.
It's Just a Name by Dogometer
The shenanigans. The identity shenanigans. The slow build, just-- and it's Tim/Danny too. Perfect.
To Fail to Succeed by nerdpoe
This one was really neat, having Bruce get affected by the portal in a way that kind of mirror's Jasons situation.
Fingers on the Pulse of your (sometimes) beating Heart by Milaley
Milma has only just started this one and I'm already Feral over it. I might be biased, but STILL
Wrong Number by pipertia
Wrong number fics/accidental calls my BELOVED. Love the concept a lot.
Danny Phantom fics:
Caught on Camera by AttacusAbacus
This one is really neat. I love the idea of trail cams being used to investigate ghost stuff in Amity Park.
Late Night Hangout by Carelisswriting
Another really sweet savant par one. I love the exploration of their characters in this.
Danny Vs. A Boeing by Danesincry, Spookberry
This one is SO damn cute and fun; I love savant par, and I adore the art that goes along with this.
Blobs of Love by blobghost
I adore identity reveals, no one knows AU, and blob ghost shenanigans. Just-- yes.
Laundry Day by SummersSixEcho
Such a simple idea (ectoplasm staining clothes) that makes for such a neat oneshot. I love it.
A Familiar Taste of Poison by AKelaNakamura
Akela writes the Far Frozen yetis SO fucking sweet. I adore the transformation stuff in this as well <3
Alligator by DizzlyPuzzled
Good GIW agents is such a fun thing to read and explore. Such a sweet take
Phantom Phuckery by nanaarchy
I love a good chatfic. Finding a long one like this is such a treat.
The Apocalypse Club by dumbdpaus
This one has some really nice focus on side characters that don't usually get a chance to shine! And in such a neat way.
Sakura by SirenSecondWind
The ideas in this one live rent free in my mind.

Okay so what *would* the line of succession look like if it starts with Visenya??
well complicated because absolute primogeniture would change who is getting married to who. also disclaimer i am making all of this shit up. here are my thoughts.
- so assuming that as the eldest visenya still has to marry aegon out of obligation maegor is born as the heir from the beginning. earlier in he was in canon. aenys is rhaenys and ???s child
- since the order is switched i think it makes more sense to have maegor marry alyssa velaryon and aenys marry ceryse hightower. Judgement call for thematic reasons here: Maegor and Alyssa have Rhaena, the heir, and Viserys (this is Aegon uncrowned but Maegor will be naming his son after his mommy and not his dad come on.) Aenys and Ceryse have Jaehaerys and Alysanne.
- Maegor isn’t king for too long since Visenya lives forever. Viserys still dies after the birth of Rhaena’s twins due to slipping on a banana peel or maybe getting like Ivan the terrible’d by his own dad or something you know how it is with them.
- After Maegor dies, brief succession dustup where the more traditional southern reacher houses all back jaehaerys (half hightower, raised in the faith, male) over Rhaena but they lose their political momentum when Jaehaerys marries his younger sister and loses his “pure westerosi princeling” cred. Oops. Conflict resolved when Rhaena agrees to let Jae and Aly onto her small council, send one of her daughters to the faith, and betroth the other to some reacher family or another. Doesn’t matter because Aerea dies very young and Rhaella becomes a septa still.
- This leaves Rhaena in a bind trying to figure out which of her cousin’s kids to designate as heir. Kind of a problem since Rhaena never remarries and puts the succession question off until all of them are old.
- Alysanne backs Rhaenys, eldest child of their eldest child and bearer of Dark Sister.
- Jaehaerys backs Baelon and his son Aegon (Viserys I but in this universe since Visenya was king the function of the names Aegon and Viserys are switched) because he still hates women.
- This is already self-indulgent so I’m going to say bitter jaded elderly Queen Rhaena pivots at the last minute and backs Saera, Jaehaerys’ willful maligned daughter who miraculously returned from essos where her own Aerea did not. (she made it to the dragon pit and claimed Balerion in this one. just for fun)
- Dance of the Dragons happens earlier and has 3 major factions. Stormlands and Crownlands back Rhaenys, the Reach, Westerlands, and Vale back Baelon, and the Triarchy backs Saera. After that literally who knows.

Good day or night to you, Suga! I was stalki-- i mean scrolling your blog and saw the mini event. Then the devil within me has risen and boldly ask you one more time! I don't know if it is your cup of tea or not, so feel free to accept it at your will. So here we go: As their lover, today the reader is a bit daring. For some reason, we are sitting on their lap and teasing our HSR men to our heart content. He can't hold back and wants to embrace us? Nuh-uh, his hands are tied behind (thanks to Kafka or Natasha taught us lol 💀). He wants to kiss us back, no, not yet. But little the reader knows, our men miraculously freed themselves at some point and strike back, so prepare for the consequence of teasing him. I'm thinking about tying down Blade, Jing Yuan and Sampo, or anyone that you come up with ❤ I love your writting so much ahhh i wanna keep reading them ❤🌹✨
HSR Men x Reader: Tying them up. (Suggestive Content.)
I DID MY BEST. I know it took a while, but I was really out here rewriting and re-editing this to make sure it wasn't OOC. Finally, it is here.
Part 2? Who wants to bribe me to include the last three characters or make a continuation? (jk jk... unless.)
WARNINGS: Suggestive content, mentions of biting, and blood.
18+ ONLY!!!
Jing Yuan:
Tumblr media
“Darling…”
“Hush, Jing Yuan. We’ve only just begun.” You whispered seductively, lightly nibbling at the general’s ear. His body tensed as a light blush came onto his cheeks. Something that didn’t happen often at all. He was beautiful like this.
“Are you enjoying yourself, love?” You murmur into his ear while your hands traveled up and down his toned chest. Even through his thick attire, you felt the ridges and outlines of his abdominal muscles. Jing Yuan lightly tugged at the silky red rope restricting his hands as he groaned at the feeling of your soft kisses.
“Yes, I can’t deny it… You’re so beautiful. So enticing.”
“Really?”
You watched your husband’s reaction as you placed more tender kisses down his neck, enjoying the feeling of his struggles against the binds. You knew he wanted to touch you so badly, how his lips craved yours, but you wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. No… not yet.
His long silver hair was in slight disarray and you felt a few stray strands tickle your left cheek while you placed love bites on his neck. His chest heaved up and down with ragged breaths as he groaned lightly at the pleasure.
“Beloved... I want to kiss you more than you could ever imagine right now. Why don't you be a good s/o and let me free?" The general said, attempting to coax you into freeing him of his binds. Of course, he was a patient man, having encountered countless trials in his younger years. He firmly believed in the art of perseverance and patience, but as of right now, he felt a fire burning within him. The way his face felt like it could erupt into flames at any given moment and the intense heat he felt in his groin. You were truly testing his patience.
“I said no, love.” You whispered teasingly into his ear, pulling back to take in his face. With a trembling lip and slightly watering eyes, the general had what resembled a slight pout. Heavy breathing filled the empty room as his eyes held a look of irritation. “My, my, how very unlike the general. To be seen like this, why this is an unexpected reaction.”
Something in him snapped at that moment. Your words triggered a newfound anger in his veins as a sudden snap was heard. To your surprise, the binds that once restricted the larger man now lay in shreds on the floor and his hands suddenly pinned yours above your head. His other hand rested firmly on your waist, pulling you flush with his body. Jing Yuan whispered into your ear with a cruel gaze and a mischievous grin, biting the tip of your ear.
“Let the fun begin, love.”
Blade:
Tumblr media
“Is this some kind of joke?” Cold eyes pierced your smaller form seated on his lap. He remained still, cold and calculating eyes analyzing your every moment. You shuddered.
“I told you Kafka taught me how to tie someone up… isn’t is cool?” You offered him a nervous smile.
“…”
“…”
Sweat now dripped down your neck as a shiver went down your spine. Blade’s gaze was icy and unforgiving, it was as if he was murdering you with his gaze. Even as his lover he could be quite terrifying at times, but here you were now... You couldn’t back down. Gently, you leaned into his chest as he watched you, leaning to kiss his jaw quickly.
“You’re playing a dangerous game, Y/n.” Blade looks down at you with an evil glint in his eye. A slight smirk adorned his features the moment he felt your gentle kisses along his jawline. He almost shivered in excitement at your defiance, eager to put you in your place... to make you submit to him. Oh, how he wanted to corrupt you. The audacity you had to put him in such a humiliating position… you were sure to pay.
With ease, the binds that once restricted the man were broken as he immediately trapped you with his strong grasp. You gasped when his lips were on your neck, biting harshly at the delicate skin and drawing blood. The dark-haired male smirked against you and with his tongue, lapped up the delicious crimson liquid. You almost moaned in response.
With that, Blade pulled away and looked you straight in the eyes. He had a sadistic smirk, his eyes lighting up with mischief. The gloved hand on your back easily conquered both your hands in one swift motion rendering you motionless.
“You naughty girl/boy... How dare you go this far with your tricks.”
And now… 4/5 were to pay a price. One of them was you.
Dan Heng:
Tumblr media
Dan Heng found himself in quite the predicament.
He looked up at you with a pleading gaze, pulling at the restraints that bound his hands together behind his back.
“Darling… please… let me touch you.”
You sat on top of his lap with a sadistic smirk, looking down at him in amusement. It filled you with joy to see your lover begging to let him touch you- something you didn’t get to see often. You’re surprised he even let you do this to him. The fact he agreed was enough to send an excited shiver down your spine and to quickly pull out the silky rope you had bought at a toy shop in Jarilo-VI.
“Maybe if you keep begging…” You whispered into his ear with a seductive tone. With your free hand, you lightly traced it up and down his chest, oozing with anticipation at the delicious reactions he made. The way his eyes widened and how his chest heaved up and down with every touch you made on his body, pleased you- fueling your ego. Who knew your boyfriend could be such a bottom after all?
“Pl-please… Y/n… I want to touch you.”
“You’ll have to wait, my love. Be a good boy for me and wait for me, won’t you?”
Shivers went up and down your lover’s spine as he watched your each and every move with eagerness. His heart felt like it was going to explode out of his chest with the amount of pleasure he felt. The way you placed gentle kisses all over his neck, nipping and sucking at the bare flesh until it left a hickey, turned him on. His desire to turn the tables and return the favor intensified. Oh, how he wanted to touch you. To place his lips onto yours and to worship your body.
He needed you. Badly.
Again, Dan Heng bargained, tugging at his restraints in an attempt to free himself.
“Please, darling… I just want to make you feel good. I can’t any mo-“
“Quiet, Dan Heng. You don’t speak unless spoken to." You said with a stern voice, watching as said male’s eyes widened even more.
You… since when did you become so demanding? Did you really think you were in control of the situation? That’s it… Dan Heng had enough. He wasn’t used to being bossed around in the bedroom and it sure as hell wasn’t going to continue any longer now. You’ve had your fun while it lasted.
“You’re asking for punishment, darling.” Dan Heng’s voice lowered an octave as his eyes glared at you with slight anger. So this was how it’s gonna be? Fine. He’ll just have to force you to remember your place, just as he always had before.
With a newfound strength, Dan Heng's dragon form emerged as he pulled hard at the rope and with one powerful tug, freed himself. He watched as your mouth parted in a gasp at his brute strength, not having expected him to break free. Your face held a nervous look and you stuttered, “A-ah… How…? Dan Heng… I was just playing, you know!”
“Playing?" His face drew in closer, lips mere centimeters apart.
"Oh, I'll show you playing."
Sampo:
Tumblr media
“Hey, hey…! Love, please let me…”
“No, Koski. This is your punishment for scamming me again.” You smiled, placing sloppy kisses all over his neck. The man whimpered and groaned in response.
“But- mmph…!”
An evil grin was plastered against your face as your teeth sunk into his delicate skin. This had to be his sweet spot if it made that loud of a reaction from him. You continued nipping and sucking at it, grazing at his tender flesh with your bare teeth. The action caused a shiver to go down the male’s spine as he released a shaky sigh.
“Please… I won’t do it again! Honest… I’ll even give you a cut of the spoils… just let me-“
“Koski.” You said with an irritated tone. “Shut. Your. Mouth.”
Sampo’s eyes widened at your hostile tone and he silenced immediately. His face was warm to the touch and his eyes were in a daze. He felt as if his whole body was tingling at your every touch. Fuck… he wanted to touch you so bad. To hold you and kiss you.
He once again pulled at the restraints, attempting to free himself. He was gasping and groaning at your every kiss, mind high in pleasure at the pleasure you gave him from your mere kisses alone. Was this really happening? The Sampo Koski being at the mercy of his loyal client. Oh, how the tables have turned. He drew in a sharp breath at the sensation of your lips on him.
“Please…! Don’t make me beg. Sampo wants to touch you.”
“Hmm?” You pulled back on his lap and chuckled at his facial expression. His cheeks were a dark red and his mouth was parted open, drawing in deep breaths. His hair was a bit sweaty as it stuck to his forehead. “Is this another one of your tricks, Koski? How can I be sure you won’t scam me again?”
“You have my word…! Just please- lemme touch you!”
The sight before you made an excited shudder go down your body. You were pleased, ecstatic even at his change in demeanor. The oh-so-cunning and sneaky salesman was now reduced to a begging and pleading man. How delicious.
“Alright.”
You smiled at the sight of his eyes lighting up and his body eagerly leaning into yours to allow you to untie his ropes. The moment you loosened them, he immediately broke free and grinned mischievously. His arms engulfed your smaller body and pulled you impossibly close to his chest. You blushed as you felt his lips at your ear, grinning widely and nibbling at it.
“Now… allow me to make amends. I wouldn’t want to leave a customer unsatisfied, after all.”
(This is my first time writing romantic stuff like this. Nobody judge me if it’s bad.)

Follow the Red Wooly String
A soulmate story written for day 6 of @adrinetteapril, "Red String" (with art!!!)
Tumblr media
The art is a commission from the talented @sinkdraws! Her commissions are still open, so consider getting some of her art for yourself, and reblog the non-png version of this image from her, too!!
Without further ado, you can read the fic on AO3 or just below! I hope you enjoy :D
The first time Marinette saw the strings, she thought she was hallucinating.
Everyone knew about the Seers, the few people capable of seeing soul-binding strings, but it was exceptionally rare to meet one, let alone develop the Seers’ ability oneself. And, well, Marinette knew herself well enough to know she couldn’t fully trust herself after pulling an anxiety-and-ADHD-fueled all-nighter. Last time it’d happened, she’d been fully convinced that Nino had grown his hair out into a mohawk and loudly complimented him on it several times before passing out in the middle of class. In the aftermath, Nino had sworn to never wear a new hat without telling Marinette about it first again.
So, Marinette had been more dubious than shocked when she closed her eyes for a second too long on her walk to class in the morning and opened them to see a mess of red, white, black, and yellow strings tangling and shifting around on the pavement in front of her. It was a cool hallucination, she knew it was, but Marinette wasn’t about to celebrate having a new power that she’d most likely daydreamed up.
Her heart still did a happy, nervous dance when she saw the deep red string that had just appeared on her finger, though, and Marinette really didn’t want to quash the hope that her vision was coaxing to new life in her chest! She’d wanted to know who her soulmate was for so long, before becoming Ladybug and meeting Master Fu, anyway. What if she finally had a chance to find them?
On the other hand, though, it was probably safer for her not to find out who they were.
Chat Noir had always believed that they were soulmates. He’d asked Master Fu, the day they’d been invited to his home and the turtle kwami had revealed that Master Fu was a Seer, if he’d chosen them because he could tell their strings were connected. 
Master Fu had only chuckled and said that he’d chosen them because he knew they would work well with Plagg and Tikki, not for any other reason. Besides, if Ladybug and Chat Noir really were soulmates, and if Master Fu told them that now, he’d claimed, that would add to the risk of another Seer seeing the string while they were detransformed and telling them each about it, thus revealing their secret identities.
They both knew what that meant— they’d have to give up their Miraculous, even if they were platonic, not romantic, soulmates. Their secret identities were crucial in the fight against Hawk Moth. So, Chat Noir had given up his hope of confirming their bond, and Ladybug had reluctantly given up her dream of finding her own soulmate (or soulmates). After all, if a Seer did take an interest in finding out whose string connected to hers, wasn’t there a risk that the same Seer might find out Ladybug’s identity, or at least who Ladybug’s soulmate was? 
She didn’t want to put herself or her soulmate in danger like that, so she’d suppressed her childhood dream of being brought to her soulmate by a kind Seer and a little red string.
But sometimes, Marinette couldn’t help but stare at Adrien’s pinky finger during class and imagine a scarlet red string there, connecting his soul to hers. Love was a foolish thing, but Marinette wished she could afford its risk for the sake of being with Adrien. As Ladybug, though, she’d never be able to, so even after Master Fu handed over the Guardianship to her, she ignored her dream of being connected to Adrien as much as she could. Because she loved him, she didn’t want to put him in danger with her foolish hopes.
Today, though, as she approached Ms. Bustier’s classroom (only five minutes late!) and watched as the string trailing down from her finger seemed to grow taught, Marinette couldn’t help but hope that maybe, the universe was making an exception for her. Maybe, if she really was becoming a Seer, that meant she could finally find her soulmate without needing to worry about her secret identity!
Maybe this was a sign… if it wasn’t just an exhaustion-fueled hallucination, that was.
Marinette slid into her seat with a quiet apology to her teacher, who sighed but didn’t act surprised, since this kind of behavior wasn’t really that uncommon for Marinette. As Ms. Bustier resumed her lecture, Marinette found herself staring down at the string on her finger again.
It’s still there. What if it is real? She wondered.
Marinette looked around quickly, to make sure no one was watching her, and then gently poked the place where the string seemed to be. If the stories were true, only Seers could physically touch the strings. Everyone else phased through them or avoided them, as though by instinct, but the Seers could follow a string to its owner by sight and touch, and they were even capable of untying the string, releasing the bond between soulmates. That only happened rarely, Marinette remembered as she grasped the thick, red string tied around her little finger.
As it turned out, her string was soft, like it was made with fluffy wool. She touched it again, marveling at the texture under her fingertips. It felt so real! 
In front of her, Adrien shivered.
“You okay, dude? Classroom too chilly for you today?” Nino’s whisper barely reached Marinette’s ears.
Adrien hesitated and then shook his head in response as Ms. Bustier shot Nino a meaningful look. There was no escaping the teacher’s attention for students in the front row.
Marinette turned her attention back to the string for another moment before leaving it alone to at least pretend to take notes. In her sleep-deprived state, her notes usually left something to be desired (legibility, for one), and she shot a nervous glance at Alya, who caught her gaze and offered a smile and nod in return.
“I got you, girl,” she mouthed, and Marinette smiled and mouthed a sincere thank you back.
Class moved on, and Marinette lost herself in trying to pay attention, and then in the way the light from outside fell on Adrien’s hair, and then in several doodles serious notes until lunch. At that point, she decided it would be okay to sneak another peek at her soul-string, if it was still there.
It was, trailing down from her finger to a small, coiled pile on the floor between her and Adrien. Marinette traced it with her eyes as she slowly began to pack up.
Then, Adrien got up to leave, saying something to Nino about lunch at the mansion today, and the pile of Marinette’s soul-string began to unwind itself. Some of it began to follow Adrien, and Marinette jumped up in a panic. 
Her heart rate spiked as she worried about what this could mean; was this part of the hallucination? Was the universe telling her that Adrien was taking her heart away for good? That she’d never have him, but never be able to move on from him? No! She couldn’t accept that!
Marinette knew there was only one thing to do: she had to get her string back from Adrien before he stole it all away!
Alya, who was giving Marinette a concerned look, snapped in front of her face. “Girl, are you okay?” she asked, sounding worried. “What is it?”
Marinette gave Alya a serious, determined look.
“He’s taking my string away,” she declared with a frown, and Alya’s face pinched. 
“Who’s doing what? Sorry, Marinette, but what do you mean?”
Marinette began speed-walking out of the door, leaving her things at the bench. “My string is following him, but I’m not gonna let him steal it from me!” she exclaimed, and hurried off in the direction of her string. She stared intently at the ground, watching as the string tangled and weaved through a mess of other ones. She couldn’t let it escape her sight!
Alya sighed and stayed behind. “Oh, no, don’t worry. I’ll get your stuff for you, Marinette!” she called. “And then you’re taking a nice long nap,” she muttered. Marinette ignored her as she hurried along until she caught up with the culprit, the thief of her treasured string.
Stopping in front of him, Marinette posed dramatically, sticking her hand out and demanding, “Adrien, give me my string back!”
The students in the hallway muttered to each other as Adrien stared at her with a completely perplexed look on his face.
“Give you what? Marinette, what’s going on?” he asked, sounding concerned. “Is everything okay?”
Marinette frowned, and her face went red in the usual fashion even as she stuttered out her defense. She couldn’t let herself be distracted by a pretty face, even if it was Adrien’s!
“String, you keep, uh, thief, uh, give it back!”  She launched herself toward the string, grabbing it and pulling until she reached some invisible knot near Adrien’s finger. He flinched in response, looking hurt and surprised.
Nino, who was standing beside Adrien, looking confused, suddenly lit up. He reached out, stopping Marinette before she could untie the string and take it back.
“Marinette, wait! You said Adrien has your string?”
Marinette paused, looking at Nino suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said slowly. “He’s stealing it; I saw it follow him when he left class!”
Nino nodded, furrowing his brows as he came up with a response. “So, is the string still attached to your finger, too?”
Marinette blinked. She couldn’t believe she hadn’t thought of checking!
She peered down at her own hand, stepping back from Adrien as she did so, and noticed a familiar red string still tied around her finger.
“Yes,” she answered as the gears in her head began spinning, “Yes, it is.”
Adrien choked, and Nino nodded, relaxing. “Cool. So, dude, it sounds like Adrien’s not stealing it, then, right? Since it’s tying you two together,” he said, elbowing Adrien with a small grin.
Adrien’s face turned bright pink. “Nino,” he hissed, looking embarrassed. Nino kept going, though.
“And if it’s your string, and it’s still attached to you, and it’s attached to Adrien, then that sounds like a soul-string to me. This must mean you guys are soulmates!”
Marinette stared at Nino, then at Adrien, and then at the red string still connecting her finger to Adrien’s.
“Oh, no,” she whimpered, the horror of what she’d almost done hitting her. She’d almost untied the string binding her soul to Adrien’s! What kind of half-rate, half-witted Seer was she? “Oh, no, Adrien, I’m so sorry! I—” 
Just then, Alya came out of the classroom, walking up behind Marinette and offering her the backpack she’d forgotten inside. 
“Girl, you are a mess today! Are you sure you— wait. What’s going on?”
Alya looked around at the huddle of students in the hall, who were still staring at Marinette, Nino, and Adrien.
It was all a little too much for Marinette, who’d had a very long day for someone who hadn’t gotten any sleep that past night.
She reached out and grabbed the bag from Alya. “Thanks-see-you-later-bye!”
Before anyone could say anything (before she could embarrass herself further), Marinette took off running towards her home.
It was, without a doubt, the worst morning of her life.
__*__*__*__*__
Finding out who her soulmate was by trying to untie the string binding them together was possibly the most embarrassing thing that had happened to her, Marinette reflected. It hadn’t even been the weirdest thing she’d done — jumping into a dinosaur’s mouth was definitely higher on that list — but she knew the morning’s events would be featuring in her nightmares for years.
She’d almost rejected Adrien, her true love, as her soulmate— by accident, but still! It was hard to fathom a more awkward situation.
Still, after a short lunch and a semi-refreshing nap, she shouldered her backpack and headed back to afternoon class, full of resolve. She couldn’t run away from the mess she’d made! She had to make sure Adrien knew she wasn’t upset that they were soulmates, and that she hadn’t meant to hurt him earlier.
She’d only tell him the color of their string if he wanted her to, though. After all, just finding your soulmate was a big enough occurrence; being told whether the soul bond was romantic or platonic might be too much to find out in one day, especially considering how the reveal had happened.
Marinette hoped Adrien hadn’t decided to stay home to avoid her after what she’d done. He’d seemed pretty overwhelmed by her sudden attack on the soul-string earlier, but not unhappy when Nino had figured out that Marinette and Adrien were soulmates, so maybe that was a good sign. He had seemed really embarrassed, though, about as much as she’d been, herself, so maybe he’d choose to stay home, after all. Goodness knew his father would be only too happy to keep him there.
She didn’t have to worry, though; as she walked onto the school campus, Marinette could already see Adrien standing by the stairs. He looked nervous, she noticed as she walked closer, and if she concentrated, she could feel a kind of tension in their soul-string. She swallowed, mustered up a smile, and waved somewhat awkwardly as she approached him.
Marinette paused there, not quite sure what to do or say, and her eyes flitted over to Nino, who was standing beside his friend again, in hopes of some hint or encouragement. Before Nino could react, though, Adrien stepped forward. He opened his mouth, but hesitated, flushing, and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand.
Then Marinette felt a slight push at her side from inside her purse. Tikki had encouraged her to tell the truth earlier, at home, and she knew the little kwami was counting on her to set things right.
So, Marinette mustered up all her courage and reached out for Adrien’s hand, the one with the string attached to it. Adrien looked up sharply, nervous and hopeful at the same time, if the emotions Marinette could lightly sense through their soul-string were correct.
“Hi, Adrien,” she said, smiling lightly as she shook his hand as if to introduce herself. “I’m Marinette, and it’s nice to finally meet you, soulmate.”
A brilliant smile broke out on Adrien’s face, and he pulled her into a hug as their classmates cheered around them. Marinette felt her face heat up, but the butterflies she felt in her stomach were happy ones, for once. After a long moment, Adrien finally stepped back, and Marinette noticed that his face was a bit pink, and it looked like he was crying. A spike of alarm shot through her, and she gripped his hands tightly.
“Are you okay?” she asked, feeling worried.
He squeezed her hands back, and Marinette felt a powerful thrum run through their soul-string. 
“I’m more than okay, Marinette,” he told her, “I’m just so happy! You’re not upset you’re my soulmate?”
Marinette’s face hardened. “Never,” she vowed. “I could never be upset about that, Adrien! I’m glad you’re my soulmate.”
Adrien wiped a tear away from his eye, smiling. “This is the best day of my life,” he choked out.
Nino grinned and clapped his back. “I’m really happy for you, dude,” he said, and Alya, who’d come to stand by him and was holding her phone suspiciously like she did to take pictures of the heroes, nodded in excited agreement.
“I feel like a proud mother duck watching my babies swim for the first time,” she joked. “We need a better picture. Pick a pose, sunshines!”
Adrien’s eyes widened, and he hastily dried the rest of his tears away. “A picture? I can’t even think of any poses right now, I’m too excited!”
Alya hummed. “The model can’t think of any poses? Well, that’s fine, I can! How about you dance with him, Marinette? Use up that excited energy before you have to sit still in class!”
Marinette flushed, looking up at Adrien. “A-are you sure, Alya? I can’t even dance, not really, I’m so clumsy!”
“You weren’t clumsy at Chloe’s party, Marinette,” Adrien said shyly. “I thought you were perfect.”
He offered his hands to her, smiling shyly, and she slowly reached out to take them. Nino pressed a button on his phone, and the two of them began swaying to the gentle beat of the music that started to play.
Alya exclaimed and cooed over them, and as the final minutes before class ticked away, Marinette relaxed as she and Adrien began dancing more naturally. She fell into the lead almost by accident, and Adrien grinned up at her as she dipped him while the music swelled. 
“Got your perfect picture, Alya?” she asked with a cocky smile as she spun Adrien around one more time.
“I think I do,” Alya confirmed, grinning at the two soulmates. “Should we head into class? I’m sure Nino can trade Marinette seats so you lovebirds can sit together.”
Adrien blushed and Marinette stuttered, but in the end, they slid into the first row together happily, smiling so brightly that even Ms. Mendeleiev seemed affected by the adorable scene, not mentioning the fact that they were a few seconds late to class the way she usually would. 
As she sat in class, Marinette reflected on her crazy day. She’d gone to school after pulling an all-nighter, discovered her soulmate, almost untied their soul-string, and gone back to school and made it up to him. And her soulmate really was Adrien! Her day could hardly get any better, and now she realized that maybe the universe had been sending her a sign, after all.
If another Seer was going to find out her identity because of the soul-strings, it had probably happened by now. She was no more at risk than she’d ever been, and she’d have to get used to the new feeling of freedom and fear that knowledge brought.
But it was a good feeling overall, a really good one. Maybe she’d even offer to find Chat Noir’s soulmate for him and spread the joy she felt over to him, too! Marinette smiled at the thought of her partner gushing about his new-found soulmate to her. He’d be so happy when he found out about hers, too!
For now, though, she was happy just sitting next to her soulmate, holding hands under the table and taking pride in the happiness radiating from his end of the string. Today had been a good day, after all!

Did you ever have any more ideas for the AU where Dani was wandering around the ghost zone looking for Danny and had spellbound Vlad into helping? It was such a good inspiration for daydreams, for me, especially how Dani and Vlad interacted while she slowly grew on him. Probably because he’d be deep in denial to the point he wouldn’t notice why he was becoming more comfortable around her and not bothering to be as snappish, other than thinking he was just tired.
How do you think they’d reunite after the incident where Vlad frames himself to find Dani? I can’t imagine Dani would never want to see him again, so she might try to sneak back to places where she was with him, or summon him in secret. Vlad, once getting over the surprise she still wants to talk and what remained of his ego, might have no problem with interacting with Dani as long as she kept it private. And would Dani eventually want to reintroduce Vlad and Danny once she becomes more open with him? It seems like she might, to have a more honest relationship with her brother. To which Vlad would Definitely Not agree, his reputation could not survive it getting around that he actually was attached to this girl. That’s something they might butt heads about.
I think that after they separate, that's when Pariah Dark ramps up the conflict as the main villain (I don't really have many details fleshed out for the wider plot of the AU beyond Dani's personal quest, but I imagine that Pariah probably likes to eat the living people unfortunate enough to find themselves in the ghost realm, or the ones he can get his hands on at least, as Vlad mentioned is a thing that sometimes happens in that AU comic I did.)
Because Pariah's no doubt gotten wind of the whole "living girl is actively running around his kingdom looking for That Little Pest Danny Phantom and has also apparently magically bound his most Aggravating Rival" situation, he's out looking for Dani. I think Vlad winds up getting apprehended after leaving Dani to Danny (he can't catch a break in this AU) and after getting confronted by the Ghost King himself Vlad no doubt vehemently denies ever having gotten himself bound by a child, and he swears up and down that there is NO living girl in the realm, and clearly Pariah needs to invest in better spies, etc.
Through circumstances not fully fleshed out yet, this likely ends up turning into a "Vlad wrestles with his conscience and his ego and finally gives up and escapes Pariah & returns to Dani in an attempt to persuade her to leave the ghost realm before the Ghost King eats her" kind of deal. Because Vlad cares about her! Which is highly unusual for him and he doesn't really like it! Having feelings is stressing him out!
Vlad definitely tries to do this secretly, but Dani gets her brother involved anyway. The context of how Vlad and Dani are actually friendly with each other takes a lot of explaining. (Danny probably laughs for about thirty straight minutes when his sister recounts the magic binding part of the story. Vlad looks ready to throttle him but doesn't, miraculously.)
Danny and Vlad argue viciously over the whole thing, for obvious reasons. Danny is probably against Dani leaving; he's dealt with Pariah before and he's confident his crew can protect her. (Danny probably knows of some really good hiding places where she'd be safe, after all, he was never eaten by Pariah so clearly they have a chance!) He's mostly accepted that Dani is his long lost sister at this point, and he's not about to lose her so suddenly. Vlad is NOT amused, mostly because he's rapidly succumbing to parental brain rot and the children are refusing to listen to him. His whole reputation is actively crumbling around him, lol.
Again, details are all incomplete right now, but the vibes, you know? Vlad is a proud, lonely warlord who thirsts for power and attention and now he's been reduced to worrying about some dumb little girl who he "hates." She humiliated and bound him and he should be excited that Pariah is plotting to cook her on a spit. Instead, he's stuck allying himself with a bunch of fool teenagers who he also hates, all in a wild attempt to keep her safe. Rest in Peace, Vlad, because you're not coming back from this one with that reputation intact!

Francis Drake Main Story
Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors. I didn't proofread this.
Tumblr media
The historical figures who were resurrected as vampires have made contracts with Comte, except for Napoleon.
Napoleon was revived against his will, without a contract, and had become a being with both human and vampire traits.
Comte: "Based on what I've heard, it's possible that Drake arrived at the mansion through the same circumstances as Napoleon did."
Tumblr media
Comte: "Although it's still a mystery how historical figures can come back to life as sort of half-vampires, even if they didn't ask for it."
Drake: "Hold on."
Drake raised his hand to stop Comte.
Drake: "I can accept that this is the 19th century, but all this talk about resurrections and vampires is getting crazy. Can you at least tell me more about what's happening?"
Drake, who had been smiling nonchalantly, looked confused.
Napoleon: "I understand how you feel."
Mitsuki: "Me too..."
(When I came to the mansion, I couldn't keep up with all the unrealistic stories either.)
I totally understand how Drake felt.
Feeling sympathetic, I decided to make a suggestion to Comte.
Mitsuki: "Comte, I think we need to explain the situation."
Mitsuki: "And since he doesn't have a place to go, why don't we let him stay at the mansion for a while?"
Tumblr media
Drake: "........."
It would have taken at least another month for the door to open again. Even when it did, there was no guarantee it would be stable.
Considering the recent abnormalities in the door, he's lucky he was able to reach the mansion.
And if Drake was supposed to have died in his original time, he may have no place to return to.
Even though it wasn't my problem, just thinking about it made my heart tighten.
Mozart: "Are you crazy? This pirate just attacked us out of nowhere."
Arthur: "I can't say I don't understand the situation. Of course, attacking Mitsuki was unforgivable, but I'm also worried about letting him roam freely."
Dazai: "He's right. It would be a problem if he got a sudden bloodlust and bit someone on the street."
Drake: "Wait, there's a possibility I could turn into some sort of wild animal? Me?"
Sebastian: "On that note, we have both Rouge and Blanc here in the mansion. They should help manage both your meals and impulses."
Napoleon, who had fought with Drake, glanced at him.
Napoleon: "I can't sense any hostile intentions from him anymore. If this guy does something weird, we'll do something about it."
Napoleon: "Right, Jean?"
Tumblr media
Jean: "Of course."
Drake: "You guys are reliable yet intimidating."
Napoleon and Jean nodded to each other, and everyone's gaze turned to Comte.
Leonardo: "What's your decision, Comte?"
Comte: "........."
Comte: "Drake, can you promise not to harm anyone?"
Drake: "Yeah, sure. If you're worried, you can keep an eye on me."
Comte nodded in response and untied the rope binding Drake.
Comte: "Then I welcome you. Maybe you came to this mansion guided by something."
Arthur: "A miraculous and fateful encounter, perhaps?"
Drake: "Seems like an overly dramatic fate to me."
Drake: "Anyway, sorry for the terrible first impression. I'll be in your care from now on, so let's all get along."
Drake chuckled, and I couldn't help but relax along with him.
(He doesn't seem like a bad person.)
Mitsuki: "If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."
Tumblr media
Drake: "You're such a kind-hearted person."
And so, a new resident joined our mansion.
That night, after the sudden turn of events, I found myself on my bed, flipping through a book I'd brought from the library.
Mitsuki: "I wonder if it's in here. Ah, here it is."
I flipped through the book titled "Historical Figures Who Moved the World" and found the page about the person I was looking for.
The title was Francis Drake, Hero of the Sea. A page dedicated to Drake.
(Sebastian sometimes scolded me for being clueless, so I should at least learn something about Drake since we're going to live together from now on.)
The book mainly recorded Drake's accomplishments.
("He was the second person in history to circumnavigate the world. Queen Elizabeth awarded him the title of knight for his achievements during the voyage.")
Tumblr media
(He discovered the Drake Passage during his voyage. Come to think of it, I've seen it on the map!)
I was surprised to learn that the famous landmark on the map was named after him.
At the same time, it was mentioned that he had committed numerous acts of piracy, such as attacking enemy ships and looting valuables.
(For his homeland, he was a hero, but for someone else, he was an enemy. He lived his life amid conflict.)
I couldn't help but feel the light and shadow of history after learning the background of this historical figure.
As I continued reading, I found a description that caught my attention.
Mitsuki: "After his death due to illness, his body was placed in a lead coffin and submerged in the sea."
Mitsuki: "A sea burial?"
(History says he died and was laid to rest.)
(I wonder if something happened at that time that caused him to come back to life like Napoleon?)
I closed the book I had finished reading and lay down on the sheets.
(I never thought someone would come through that door.)
He didn't seem anxious or troubled, but he's in an unfamiliar place, so he might still face some challenges.
With that in mind, I fell asleep.
The next morning一
Drake: "Morning, little fawn."
Tumblr media
Mitsuki: "G-Good morning, Drake."
When I came to the dining room in the morning, Drake greeted me cheerfully.
However, there was something that caught my attention.
(Does he mean me when he says little fawn?)
Mitsuki: "Um, Drake, my name is..."
Drake: "Hm? Isn't it Mitsuki? Am I wrong?"
Mitsuki: "No, you're right!"
However, what caught my attention even more was Napoleon slumped over the table beside me.
Mitsuki: "Good morning, Napoleon. You're up early today."
Napoleon: "I didn't sleep."
Mitsuki: "Huh!?"
Drake: "Haha! Last night was fun."
Apparently, after that incident, Drake received some explanations from Comte.
Comte told him that the door could potentially connect at any point in time as long as it was working normally.
He also told him about the vampire's nature and that this mansion was home to historical figures from various eras and nations.
After that, Napoleon spent the night with Drake, serving as both his guard and companion.
Drake: "Our situations are pretty similar, so I had a lot of questions for him."
Tumblr media
Napoleon: "Then we got carried away and ended up talking all night."
Sebastian: "I heard they chatted the whole night. It would've been cool to eavesdrop on their conversation!"
Sebastian, who came out of the kitchen, offered Napoleon a warm cup of tea instead of coffee.
Drake: "Napoleon was not only a military commander, but also the Emperor of France. No wonder he's so strong."
Napoleon: "Stop teasing me."
Drake playfully slapped Napoleon on the shoulder, and Napoleon, with his eyes half-closed, swayed sleepily.
(Napoleon is a heavy sleeper, so he must have been tired.)
(It feels like they've gotten a lot closer.)
Napoleon: "I'm at my limit. I'll leave this guy to you."
Mitsuki: "Okay. Good night, Napoleon."
Napoleon stood up and left the dining room unsteadily.
After seeing Napoleon off, Drake let out a big yawn.
Drake: "Fuwah. I'm getting sleepy too."
Drake: "But before that, I'm hungry."
(This guy is so straightforward when it comes to his desires.)
(But come to think of it, he's also half like Napoleon, so he's probably hungry too.)
Sebastian: "I'll prepare breakfast. Please wait a moment."
Drake: "Sure. So you guys are on cooking duty?"
Mitsuki: "Yup. Is there anything specific you want to eat this morning?"
Drake: "Let's see."
Drake: "Blood."
(What!?)
Drake: "Just kidding. I thought vampires could only drink blood, but I'm glad they can eat regular food too."
(He said it so seriously that it caught me off guard.)
Tumblr media
Drake: "I'll leave breakfast up to you."
Mitsuki: "Okay. Then I'll make pancakes!"
Drake: "It's nice to have a meal without any trouble. On the ship, there's always a bunch of hungry men fighting over food."
Drake: "Plus, it's great to have a pretty girl like you cooking for me."
Mitsuki: "You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you?"
As I responded, feeling a bit flustered, Theo suddenly chimed in.
Theo: "Are you also a flirt like Arthur?"
Vincent: "Good morning, Mitsuki, Sebas, and Drake."
Theo and Vincent came to the dining room.
Drake: "Let's see, you guys are the famous Van Gogh brothers, right?"
Drake: "The angel brother and the devil brother, as Arthur said."
Vincent: "I often hear that, but I think Theo is the real angel."
Theo: "B-Broer."
Drake: "Haha! Vincent, you're such a doting older brother."
(He interacts with anyone so casually.)
It might be a little unusual for someone to get so close to others in this mansion.
Theo: "Hey, Drake. Don't call him that so casually."
Drake: "Oh, then Vincent big bro."
Mitsuki ▪︎ Theo: "Vincent big bro!?"
Hearing him say that to Vincent made both Theo and me yell unintentionally.
Vincent: "Big bro. Fufu, it's refreshing to hear that since no one called me that before."
Drake: "It looks like he likes it."
Tumblr media
Theo: "Rejected! And stop being so happy about it, broer."
Sebastian: "Drake has incredible social skills."
Mitsuki: "Pffft…ahahaha!"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing as I caught Sebastian secretly taking notes in his diary.
Tumblr media
For some reason, after finishing his pancakes, Drake started arranging the chairs in a perfect row.
Drake: "*yawn* I'm really sleepy. I'll just take a quick nap. Nighty night."
Mitsuki: "Hey, Drake! You can't sleep here!"
Drake: "Huh, I can't? Then I'll sleep on the floor."
Mitsuki: "That's not allowed either!"
(We shouldn't encourage more people to sleep anywhere like Leonardo!)
Mitsuki: "Sebastian, is there any unused room available?"
Sebastian: "I'll need to confirm with Comte first, though if ever there is, it might not be clean."
Sebastian: "Let me show you to the guest room for now. Mitsuki, please help me prepare it."
After preparing the guest room for him to lie down, he nodded and smiled, saying it was more than enough.
Mitsuki: "Then, take your time and relax, Drake."
Drake: "Hmm. Thanks for going through the trouble, Sebastian and Mitsuki."
Just as I was about to leave the room after Sebastian一
Mitsuki: "Waah!"
He suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the room.
Tumblr media
He pressed me against the wall, and his face came close to mine, his eyes cold.
Drake: "Hey, Mitsuki. Did you tame everyone in this mansion with your blood?"

Alice 'Allie' Parkington is WonderSpider!
____________________________________
Miguel: One year and four months ago, I devised the formula for inter-dimensional travel, allowing me to open portals across the multiverse. I created an elite stri-
Alice: Oh, Okay! -
Tumblr media
[Alice is the result of a 'Adapt-A-Spider' Challenge, where you adapt a pre-existing character into a Spider! You can see more of my fun Spidersona challenges HERE]
(Also HUGE THANKS to @fairytalespider who made the OG SpiderSnow!)
Gwen Stacy isn't the only blonde who knows about miraculously falling through wormholes.
Except Allie got sent to the universe with talking animals, and a maniacal queen with of taste for beheadings. Not that she's complaining. Not when the tea parties are so delightful~
At 7 years old Alice Parkington found a white waist-coated rabbit, on a hurry to who knows where -
And she followed him, fell down a hole, and never came back.
Origins:
[Alice's world is a mix of the book's portrayal, the cartoon's, and Tim Burton's (though I haven't seen the movies). Her story begins at the end of book - a similar ending to the cartoon movie, but instead she doesn't wake up.]
After losing a game of croquet to The Red Queen of Hearts, Alice is sent to the dungeons, awaiting her beheading on the Queen's orders. That is, until she finds an enchanted Spider in her cell, sent by an ally. When she's bitten, it gives her all the power of Wonderland - and binds her there forever. After escaping The Red Queen's Death Row, Alice was adopted by the woman who helped free her - The kind but exiled The White Queen or Marmoreal, aka Her Aunt Mirana.
Tumblr media
Now The Blue Princess of Marmoreal, Alice is next in line for the throne, and the web-swinging protector of Tugley Woods, Wonderland. She spends her days fighting against the tyrannical and murderous rule of The Red Queen of Hearts, and The Court of Cards. With The Mad Hatter as her martyred Uncle Ben - Alice calls Wonderland her home, though she's always left questioning what's real and what isn't. At this point, she's accepted she'll never know the answer. So when she's recruited for Spider Society, it's just another rabbit hole to go down, and another adventure to fall into. On campus she's known as WonderSpider, and she's a lot more powerful (and ruthless) than you'd think.
Tumblr media
Design and Personality:
Alice is a lot less sugar and a bit more spice, with her personality taking after the book (moreso than the movies).
Alice is bubbly and independent. She's as curious as a cat and as chatty as a bird. And she's all about asking questions and finding her own way in the world.
She's loves tea parties and foraging and making crazy experiements in the Hatter's workshop. And now that he's gone, she still finds herself in there, cooking up another magical sweet or Victorian style gadget. When she's not doing that, she's at The White Queens side, begrudgingly taking (literally) nonsensical etiquette classes. She isn't afraid to speak up for herself and others. And once she makes her mind up, it's settled.
Despite what some may think, she's isn't an entire lunatic. She's hasn't gone Wonderland Mad yet.
Even since a young girl, Alice has always been known for asking questions - trying to find the sense in nonsense before coming to a conclusion. She's great at picking up on details, and thinking outside the box. And she's always the one to keep a level head, no matter what the circumstances. Doom is not assured when reality is subjective. She's as logical as she is loopy, and although some may think there's nothing going on between her ears, they are sorely mistaken.
She always wears her glasses. She needs them to see.
Or rather, she needs them to see correctly. Having a cause of The Mads, taking off her glasses distorts her vision of the room into a psychedelic and disorienting wonderland version itself - which hurts. She keeps them on always. Though they can be knocked off during battle. Like other Spider-people - The lenses squint, blink, and emote. They have a permanent and consistently moving patterns and colors. Between blinks, the design may change, the swirls changing color or direction. Sometimes the words she's saying may flash over them for emphasis, and they can contain anything from exclamation points to tie dye.
Tumblr media
Alice is a de facto genius.
An expert chemist, Alice has mastered dozens of recipes and chemistry formulas using the vegetation in Wonderland. She's cracked the code to rabbit holes, and has an amazing affinity for science and theoretical theory. And if she doesn't understand a certain law of physics or something, she can just choose to ignore it. Literally.
Powers & Abilities:
Hobie told Alice that laws are oppressive. She agreed, told him she hates the laws of physics - then started floating to the ceiling like a balloon. Needless to say, reality doesn't really work for Alice. And she cannot control it.
But no matter what her misfortune, though - She'll always say 'Oh, dear.'
Reality Warp:
Wonderland has side effects. Alice can grow and shrink at will, but once she's there, she can't go back. When she wants, she can manifest rabbit holes to Wonderland on any flat surface, but she doesn't know where they are - so she always falls into them. Her tears are huge, and they flood any room. And for some reason, she's obsessed with cookies. It she sees one, she'll eat it. It doesn't matter if it says 'Eat Me' or not. If you hand her something and tell her to drink, she will. It's the one thing she won't question, although she should know better. She'll read the label, and if it's not clearly labeled bleach or poison, she's drinking it. If it's not those two things, it must be safe right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Power of Imagination:
Tumblr media
Like Spider-Ham has the Super-Slapstick ability, Alice has the Power of Imagination on her side. If she can make logic of it or believe it, then there is a random chance it will happen. If the team is looking for a way past a locked door, Alice may say 'If only there were a mousehole somewhere here. Mice are such scampers, they can get into anywhere!' There will probably be a 1/4 chance of a mouse running by, leading them to a cartoon like mousehole she can shrink and go through. However, Alice can't will it to happen. She can't be asking or hoping for it, and the thought has to be completely innocent and 'wonderous' for it to work. The ability can also be compounded, with multiple unlikely things happening rapid fire - however this is less likely and HIGHLY dangerous if done in other universes, and is likely to cause an anomaly. Plus everyone else involved goes a tad bit 'loopy' for a bit.
This ability only works outside of Wonderland, and it was discovered by Miguel.
When Alice met Miguel, she began to question his interesting suit, and so she asked. Miguel began to explain to her, but confused, Alice said 'Well, that's nonsensical. Surely you can't wear light like fabric. If that were true, I could pull this right off you.' - And then she did. And suddenly she was holding his suit in her hands as if it were made of fabric, and Miguel was there in his underwear.
Alice's response: 'Oh dear.'
Chesire Mode:
When surrounded by enough chaos or kinetic energy, Alice can go Chesire Mode, and really goes off the bend. She experiences full Wonderland Madness - similar to the Hatter, and gains the ability to unravel herself and turn invisible. Her voice begins to echo, creating a disorienting and hallucination-like affect. Doing this is known to cause madness, but it affects everyone in the room.
Equipment:
WebShooters: Alice uses mechanical Web-Shooters created by her and The Mad Hatter. Her webs are silly string and streamers. 'Bow'-nus Arms: Alice's waist ribbon is extendable like Mr.Fantastic's limbs, serving essentially as a second set of arms. However, when it's off of her, it's much more similar to Doctor Strange's cape, having a mind and personality of it's own. She can take it off and ask it do it, and it'll go off and (try it's best) to do it, just like a snake. It's name is David Bowie. She does not know who David Bowie is - it's just a coincidence: it's family name is Bow-ie, and David is a common name.
Random Facts:
Alice hangs out with a lot of the 'Eccentric' and Mini Spiders - She likes others from cartoons or fairytales, or anyone made for whimsy.
And she likes spending her time small.
She has a crush on Lego Spider-Man. She shrinks to be with him lol
He naturally finds her a little offputting, they're NOT a thing but she wishes (sis he's literal plastic)
Alice's best friends are SpiderPetal, SpiderSnow (@fairytalespider), SpiderFairy (@stardust948) and Spider-Ham.
Since they all live in either a woodland area, a cartoon, or both, those are usually who she's with
Though she only goes small around people she trusts - but never someone like Miguel. In fact, with Miguel, she does the opposite.
When Miguel is in the room, Alice prefers to grow 'full size' as in... taking up the whole room giantess style.
She says it helps, because 'It makes Mr.O'hara look like a little toy soldier.'
With the size of his lair, she can often grow taller faster than he can get lower - so he'll stay up there, and she'll grow to meet his eye.
She can decide when to stop growing or shrinking, just not when she'll turn back.
This power is transferable. Alice's wonderland powers still work elsewhere, and so her cookies and drinks do too.
Alice can only keep 1 cookie and 1 drink on her at one time, never more, it'll always be ruined.
She can use these to either extend her state, or have someone shrink or grow along with her.
But once she uses the one of each item, she can't get more until she returns home and makes more.
HOWEVER. HOWEVER - Alice is down for deals.
If you come to her world and ask for some cookies or potions, she'll give it to you. But there's a mandatory tea party involved, and the only payment she asks is that you bring sweets for the guests - Vegan please!!
(Her favorite is angel food cake, after cookies of course)
Those aren't the only ones - she has dozens of sophisticated concoctions for any need - floating and weightlessness, invisibility, even the ability to mimic voices perfectly -
And just the same, she's able to carry one of each when outside of Wonderland.
A frequent customer of hers is Hobie. He puts the potions to work - plus he makes the best vegan coconut macaroons.
Oh - also DO NOT Drink her tea though - it's made with Wonderland Tea Leaves....Great for a good time, horrible for bedtime.
Despite not knowing her specific age - Alice is a young adult - and she works at The Society.
Her Uncle Hatter was a master chemist, alchemist, magician, chef - and dozens of other things. And for years, Alice studied under him.
Originally, Miguel assumed all of this knowledge would be non-transferable nonsense, but - wrong.
Alice is one of the leading scientists at The Society - with a concentration in Multiversal Physics, studying everything from the visual styles of universes, the path between universes, and differences in time.
She'll often say something, only to get dismissed by Miguel.
But Lyla will cut him off, telling him that scientifically, Alice IS making sense.
It's just that because her world is totally backwards, the ideas she has to describe her thoughts are backwards too.
After a while, she becomes one of the main people to write the updates and programs for the watches, working with Miguel as her boss.
She's like a bop-it, full of weird and very useless quirks.
If her feet get wet, they make the duck waddle sound when she walks.
If she hits her head, it makes the TikTok 'Boink' sound. She runs and it makes the Flintstones noise.
If she stubs her toe or gets hurt on something tiny, she'll scream like Tom The Cat.
She burps bubbles (like the soap kind) and her sneezes sound like one of those party straw thingies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes her Wonderland powers play tricks on her. She'll be like 'I'm outta here!!' then walk into a looney toons wall. And she's so embarrassed cause the cartoon noises make it so much worse fhgsuigdf
Sometimes when she tries to run she stays in one place for a second before the running kicks in (like a cartoon) - and Miguel just grabs her and she's like 'Dratz, I was trying to get away.'
She enjoys hanging out with Hobie, though she does not understand him at all.
Like, she's British too - did I mention she's British, cause she's from Victorian England -
But she has no opinion on his ideology because it's ???? lost on her
He's like 'This is a metaphor for capitalism' and she'd be like 'I don't know what that is.'
He's like 'count your blessings'.
But Hobie LOVES that Alice doesn't stick to the rules -
and that she gives the middle finger to the laws of physics by just existing
He's like 'That's so cool, what you just did. Real Metal.'
She's like 'I suppose I am just a container, filled with slowly decaying food - so in that way, I am quite like a fridge, which is cool and made of metal-'
And he's like 'what are you talking about-'
And they mainly hangout because they're both lazy.
Alice is tirrreeed of all these weird physics rules and new technology and non talking cutlery.
She'd much prefer to take a nap, or wander off, of have a tea party, or do ANYTHING that isn't work. Same girl same
Tumblr media
And that's it! Most of it, I'll probably maybe maybe not write a post about her joining the society and how it completely warps her perception of reality because she's been trying to get home for so long, she doesn't even know if her home exists then there's this new society through ANOTHER wormhole but she still can't get home-
Oh and before I go, her intro art is inspired by Qveen Herby's single Abracadabra!

What Gluubilis Splat is Tumblr Most Like?
The polls are complete, it's time to analyze the results. Clearly these were fair polls and there was no bias introduced by some of them being much funnier/more interesting than others, or the fact that some like Persona/Star Quality or Vastness/Child of the Ash really need more space to explain the concepts than tumblr polls will allow. None whatsoever.
Tumblr media
(Using the Nobilis/Glitch titles because they fit on the graph better).
As we can see, Wanderer/Called Away is by far the most popular miraculous arc among tumblr users. What's particularly interesting though is that Gardener/A Keeper of Gardens is #2! The natural conclusion from this is that tumblr users fucking love Realms.
#3 and #4, Monstrous/Indomitable and Lore/Gatekeeper deal with being a monster and befriending/binding monsters respectively, which also makes a great deal of sense to me on the monsterfucker website.
The bottom of the scale includes a lot of highly customizable arcs, the ones where you build your own powers. Persona and Vastness may have had some poll quality issues as mentioned, but I'm genuinely surprised that Eide is so low.
Tumblr media
To absolutely no one's surprise, Tumblr is Sickly. A lot of that is down to Wanderer/Called Away, obviously. Immortal arcs tended to perform the best on average, but you just can't compete with that.
Tumblr media
The most popular kind of arc is - once again no great surprise - Otherworldly. Bindings, Aspect and Shepherd are all about the same in second-ish place though, which is surprising! I would have thought Emptiness would do better!
At this point we can construct our tumblr splat. We could, of course, just take the top four arcs. But I think it's more interesting to compare Tumblr's results to the existing ones. I could probably have done some regressions here and been fancy about it but let's just go by raw popularity because I'm lazy.
Tumblr media
Tumblr, collectively, is a Magister of Game! Yeah! That sounds about right!
Angel being the most popular non-Wanderer/Called Away splat is weird, but it's basically the only splat of those remaining where every arc performed at least decently. Strangely, the top Excrucian are the Warmains! I would have guessed Strategist, but what do I know.

Highlights From My Bells Hells Playlist
So I have a Bells Hells playlist that has some really perfect songs if I do say so myself, and I want to talk about my choices! So here's some of my favorites. (Here is the full playlist btw, with songs ranging from word-for-word-perfect to Just The Right Vibes Idk Man)
Rule #2 - Moonlight by Fish in A Birdcage For Orym :) About a person on the moon singing to their lover on Earth. "All I want is to come home to you." Is this song about Will or about Dorian? I think it's even better because it works for both. There are lines that are for Will and lines that are for Dorian and it's all mixed up and full of longing and in light of recent confessions? Just perfectly heartbreaking. "Finally broke down / Houston, please come in / There's someone that I need to talk to / Honey, how've you been? / I miss you, my dear / There's something that I have to say" "It's good to hear your voice / I'll tell you what the world looks like from up here / there's hurricanes / and blizzards too / please stay safe and warm 'til I get to you"
Control by Halsey For Laudna. This one is very straightforward. "And all the kids cried out please stop you're scaring me / I can't help this awful energy / Goddamn right you should be scared of me / Who is in control?" The rest works pretty well too, there's more lines that feel Very Delilah, it just works.
Allies or Enemies by The Crane Wives For the whole party! I happened to get into this song right when the whole "powder keg" conversation happened, and it's only gotten more relevant. "Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me." It's great it's perfect it's them. "What happens now? / Do we have another go / Do we bow out / And take our seperate roads / I'll admit I've had my doubts / But I want to be let in not out" "Remember when I could tell you not to smile when you were mad / And you would always crack / And we'd both be laughing in the end? / Now you're not so quick to forget"
Moving in Place by Shauna Dean Cokeland This song is so Ashton. It's about using drugs as a teenager and feeling stagnated, blaming things on other people, drowning in daydreams where you're awesome, spending time with a group of friends you really care about.... It works quite well. (I also really recommend this song if you have ADHD/use music to stim, it's got really great overlapping vocals and kinda scratchy sound--this is the song I put on when my brain is eating itself and no other music can get through to it. It's great.) "Take me to the far side of the beach / Before it falls into the ocean / Before you notice I'm eroding / I know you don't wanna be lonely / I know 'cause I would feel the same thing" I'm having trouble picking out specific quotes because they're all really wordy and long, but trust me it works and it's a great song.
Soap by The Oh Hellos Ashton! I especially like this for Ashton and Orym (platonic or romantic both are good) but it also works for Ashton and the Hells—and once again, this song hits even harder after the shard incident. As far as picking specific lines I just want to quote like the whole song, but I'll exercise some restraint. "I've heard since I was younger / That oil and water don't mix / They're polar opposites / With a molecular rift you can't fix / But I swear with all your burnt bridges / You can leech what's caustic and find / A rudimentary lye / Some kind of miraculous bind" "Oh, no / I think I'm not quite ready / To let you circle the drain / All the things we've broken / Can be puzzled together again / All your sums and your pieces / Are enough to clean up all / The messes you've made" "I think that you're worth keeping around. I think that you're worth holding onto." "I've heard if I were tougher / Then maybe I'd make it alive / I've got a tender side / I'll need a harder shell to survive / But if seeing is believing / I don't know I've seen a thing grow / Without an open coat / Not without a softness showing / I know maybe you're not quite ready / To loosen your hold / On the safety blanket you've been keeping around your shoulders / But your sums and your pieces / Are enough to make you whole / You gotta let go" "It's gonna hurt like hell / but we're gonna be well / I'll give you my best shot" Oops I basically just quoted the whole song. But look how perfect it is!!
The Leaving of Liverpool (folk song; I like this version by The High Kings) This one's for Dorian! Specifically, for Dorian leaving :( It's an old folk song about going away from home and leaving your love behind. It's not as character specific or detail heavy, but it just feels so right for Dorian having to leaving Orym and Fearne in Jrusar. "So fare thee well my own true love, and when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling, when I think of thee." My mom and I go to a Celtic Christmas concert every year, and one of the last songs is always this one. Everybody knows it, and they invite us all to join in the chorus. It's a beautiful moment, and I'm so grateful to Brian O'Donovan, the host, who passed away this year. He brought so much joy and gave so many people a piece of their home to enjoy here. He will be missed.
Canary in a Coal Mine by The Crane Wives If the title didn't clue you in, this one's for FCG! It's not just because of the mine, though, it all works really well. This song is about the 'canary', who puts so much into a relationship, doing everything to keep their partner happy and support them, but fears that when they need help themself their partner will abandon them. "Feed me promises, keep my heart well / I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede / But if in the end I lose my voice / Will you forget about your love for me?" "Let the dirt hang heavy in your chest / Drag me deeper down the long, dark ground / Know that all my love will your breath / I will save you when your lights go out"
Bonus: A Convocation of Fauns (A Faunvocation If You Will) by the Oh Hellos Fearne. The title says it all. (It's just instrumental lol)

[Translation] Clover no Kuni no Alice ~Promise Red~ Light Novel - Chapter 7
Tumblr media
Writer: Sana Shirakawa Artist: 文月ナナ
ACT 7 - Red eyes make a binding promise
This place was always coloured a vivid red.
From the furniture down to the flowers blooming in the garden, it was all a magnificent red. The first time she had come to the Castle, it was so striking she had found it overwhelming to look at, but had now grown completely used to it.
‘Miss, what would this one be?’
‘That one is…..my spare clothes, I think. Then, would I be able to get you to place it near that closet? I'll put them away later.’
‘And what about this one?’
‘Ah, those are some books I bought. I'll put them away on the shelf later too, so for now please put them on the table.’
The maids who were bringing her luggage into various spots in the room happily replied with an, ‘Understood.’ Even though the task had nothing to do with the upkeep of the Castle, not a single one looking as if they found the work disagreeable, they were helping Alice out.
The only person looking dissatisfied was the White Rabbit whom she had forbidden from helping just before.
‘Alice, why won't you let me help you? Even without using these faceless, I would have gladly assisted you.’
‘.....There's no way I'd borrow the help of someone who was trying to throw away my things, on top of skipping out on their own job, is there? Sure you shouldn't be getting back to work now, “Lord” White?’
‘Alice-, please don't say such cold things-’
Ignoring his pleading sounding voice, Alice stuck out her tongue at him a little.
Ten time periods had already passed since the end of the Assembly. Having returned to Heart Castle from Clover Tower, it had been the noon time period just before that the room she had been staying in temporarily had been officially allotted to Alice as her bedroom.
Peter had immediately attempted to arrange it with lavish furniture, and suggested some large scale remodelling, but she had said no to both. That said, if she was going to be staying in this room from now on, it was only the truth that she'd grown to miss the daily essentials she had become used to using.
‘All the same…..I probably can't go get my things from Hatter Mansion, can I.’
Still, she didn't really want to buy everything from scratch all over again. It would be a waste. She wasn't sure what to do.
Just as she was thinking that, Alice's belongings from Hatter Mansion had arrived.
Despite the items being addressed to Alice, the sender had still been Blood. Just as they had finally been about to get through to her after being thoroughly checked countless times, this Prime Minister had ordered them destroyed.
It had been almost miraculous timing that Alice had happened on the scene just as they were about to be thrown out.
She might also have heard it from a little bug as well.
‘They are certainly your belongings, but I was thinking of buying you the same ones brand new. After all, surely you must dislike using things that bunch at Hatter Mansion touched, all covered in germs! Right, Alice?’
‘Don't put me in the same category as you.’
The germaphobic Prime Minister was insistent, but Alice was not the kind of person to agree with him.
She had borrowed the help of the maids to carry them to the place that was now her room, and that was how they had arrived at the current situation.
‘Miss…..these ones seem a little different from the rest, what should we do with them?’
‘Huh? I wonder what they are, I don't think I've seen them before either….’
An object wrapped in paper. From the looks of things, it had been wrapped hastily, but it was something Alice didn't remember seeing before. As she tried holding it in her hands, it wasn't as heavy as it had looked.
It appeared to be the last of the luggage, so after she had thanked them, the maids left the room. After seeing them off, Alice opened the package.
‘Alice, please don't ignore me.’
Raising his voice pitifully, the White Rabbit also peered at the item from beside her.
Tearing off the tape that had been stuck here and there, as she  opened it up—there was something unexpected inside.
‘Ah!’
A realistic looking doll that was difficult to call cute, an assortment of orange-coloured cookies, and a thick leather bound book.
‘This must be from Dee and Dum…..somehow or other, it does look like one of their “stress dummies” after all.’
The roughly made doll had something of the air of the ones the twins often brought to the bath to break. The small note written in a flowing cursive attached to it that said, “Whether you're feeling stressed enough that this doll won't be able to help or not, we'll play with you anytime” was very like them.
The case containing the orange-coloured cookies had the words, “I'll keep on looking for stores with tasty looking stuff” energetically scrawled into it. Even if there had been no message, just from the colour she would have been able to tell whom it had been from straight away.
‘That's so like Elliot…’
She could imagine so clearly even the look on his face that he had while choosing amongst his favourite foods she began to smile despite herself.
And then, her hand touched the final item.
‘..........’
A title embossed in gold on a leather cover. It wasn't a book she was familiar with, but she didn't even need to open it to know who it was from.
As she took it into her hands and turned the pages, there was a small bookmark wedged inside. It was a stylish looking item, of a pale red colour, with a cut out in the shape of a rose. The message attached to the bookmark was also written in familiar handwriting.
—Whenever you want to read the next one, come over at anytime—
‘.....I wonder if they're thinking I'm the type to keep coming back home.’
All the same, it made her happy, and she was unable to help laughing a little.
Even if they were apart, even if they didn't live in the same place, it made her happy that her bond with them wouldn't disappear.
‘Alice.’
‘Ah, Peter. Looks like these are presents from everyone-…..Hey, what's wrong?’
Seeing the White Rabbit look so obviously discontent, the girl tilted her head quizzically.
On the other hand, seeing Alice look so puzzled, Peter let out a sigh.
‘Why are you so happy about presents from the likes of them-? Even though if you wanted the same thing, I would give it to you…..this is too cruel-’
‘Um…..the reason presents make people happy isn't just to do with the thing itself, you know?’
With what intention the other person gave it to you, understanding how they’d felt when they'd chosen it. It was because you knew that they had been thinking of you, that the giving itself brought one joy.
Still, apparently not understanding the delicacy of such emotions the White Rabbit was muttering, ‘As I thought, I should have disposed of them while you weren't looking.’
‘Just so you know, it would be meaningless for you to copy everyone and give me the same thing, Peter.’
‘Wha-! H-How did you know that was what I was thinking…!?’
‘.....So that was what you were going to do.’
She had thought that it couldn't be, but apparently it had been the right decision to warn him in advance. Normally she didn't understand what this Rabbit was thinking, but it was only in times like this she could read his thoughts.
Smiling wryly at the red eyes as they looked at the book Alice was holding with strong distaste, after temporarily putting it down on the table, she gently stretched her hands out to the White Rabbit's cheeks.
‘Peter.’
‘Alice?’
And then, standing on tiptoe—she lightly pressed her lips against his.
She laughed at the White Rabbit, whose eyes were widened with surprise.
‘Peter…..aren’t you happy to get a kiss from me? Would you have preferred a kiss from someone else?’
‘'No-, of course not-! If another person did the same thing, I would shoot them-’
For the time being choosing to ignore this disquieting remark, Alice continued to smile broadly.
This Rabbit didn't understand things unless they were said to him so directly there was no room for misunderstandings. That was something she knew well from all the time she had spent with him up until now.
‘Right? Then give me something I'd be happy to get from you, Peter. Something I'd be happy to get only from you, and no one else…..alright?’
‘Alice.’
Alice had been feeling relieved seeing the change in the slightly reddened face of the White Rabbit, but that was only for an instant.
Taking hold of the hands she had touching his face, Peter spoke, sounding as if he were getting more and more worked up.
‘In other words, you want me…..isn't that right, Alice! A gift that only I can give you, that has to be what you mean!’
‘Wha-.....Peter, wait a moment-.....!!’
It appeared her voice of protest hadn't reached the white long ears. No, even if it had, perhaps its meaning not getting through to him, Alice was all of a sudden picked up and carried over to the bed.
‘Alice, Alice…..Ah, I love you-’
‘Mnn-!’
She tried to push Peter away as he hugged her as if overcome with emotion, kissing her again and again, but in an instant he'd closed the distance between them, and she lost any place to run.
‘I'm so happy having you right here with me, I might just go mad!’
Ecstatically, as if in a rapture.
When she saw him smiling as if completely content—she was unable to push back all that much.
The game that had been conducted at the final Assembly. After putting his gun away, the White Rabbit had hugged Alice and said to her-
"I had believed that you would win, but…..even if you hadn't, I never could have given you to the Hatter. Alice, no matter what the result was, I would stay with you even if it meant breaking the rules."
The rules of this world were a restriction that Alice the Outsider couldn't comprehend. The penalties for breaking them, and how difficult it was to do so, were things she was unable to imagine either.
‘Alice, I love you. I—want to stay like this with you always, forever.’
Hands that stroked her hair. Lips that touched her skin. Heat that she could directly feel near.
Alice felt as if she were melting into all of it yet again.
‘Please…..stay with me forever. Let me feel you closer than anyone, Alice.’
—Since meeting you, even in the midst of his worries…..he is growing closer to happiness—
The one who had told her that was the dream demon who appeared in her dreams.
She thought that just as he had said, Peter had changed. The way Peter was right now was completely different to the Peter that had been satisfied just being together, not wanting anything more than that.
She was wanted. She was desired.
This too pure Rabbit needed no one else but Alice.
‘Peter.’
Is it because I'm needed?
Because I'm necessary to him?
Because he wants me?
Is that why, we're together?
She couldn't say without a doubt that that wasn't the case.
Because unlike Peter, Alice had more than one thing that was important to her.
But even so, she wanted to be with him. Right now she strongly wished to be by the side of this too pure being.
‘.....You haven't forgotten the promise you made me just before, have you?’
She wanted to be the only one that these white hands and red eyes looked for.
‘Yes, I remember—only you, you are the only thing that makes me happy. I don't want to touch anyone but you.’
Neither body nor heart.
The White Rabbit who hadn't wanted to touch anyone.
She wanted that hand to touch even the pounding of her heart coming through her skin. Drowning in those emotions, Alice was becoming pure white.
Although she knew she couldn't become as pure a white as him, she felt as if she could become just a little white.
Alice, who had nothing pure about her, and a Rabbit that was so pure he couldn't be touched.
Even though the only thing they had in common was their weakness.
'Is it alright that I dirty you...when I touch you?’
If she were to touch him, he would be tainted. Just like leaving footprints in freshly fallen snow, a feeling of elation, and a slight sense of guilt.
Each time she touched Peter, Alice always felt those two extremities of emotion.
‘You aren't dirty at all. Rather, I am the one who is tainting you.’
His lips lightly touched her. Brushing her cheek, her jaw, tracing down her neck.
‘I only drown in you. I can't see anyone, or anything, but you.’
Ah—if only she could do the same someday.
She wondered if the day would come when she only looked at these beautiful red eyes, and nothing else.
Although it seemed to be quite a simple thing, at the same time it would be more difficult than anything.
‘Peter.’
‘Yes.’
‘Don't ever…..let me go.’
—Just you, stay at my side forever—
As Alice said that to him, unable to completely convey everything she truly felt, the White Rabbit smiled as if happy.
‘Of course. Then Alice, please always stay in a place where my hands can reach you.’
Beautiful eyes that looked like blood, like roses.
Right now they were filled with joy and happiness.
Even though the string of fate couldn't be seen on either of their two little fingers.
The vivid gaze made her a red promise, for sure.

Two things (new miraculous special)
1. I don't think Marinette can be more stupid. Okay that she has a diary in which she's writing her thought. But why she wrote about absolute power that it's dangeurous that she cannot give away her miraculous and that it's always price to paid and then just wrote a spell to summoning Gimmi? Not smart move.
Tumblr media
2. I like concept that Supreme (I don't care who is it) binded Tikki and Plagg with some magic seal stuff preventing them to fuse? merge? reveal Gimmi. The Order of Guardians should learn that and make some kind of seal that would prevented to make a wish to Gimmi.

Plagg to Tikki: ‘We’ll see each other again. You know that you and I are one.’
I loved this line so much, for so many reasons - too many, really, to sum up in a simple Tumblr post, but I’m gonna try!
Let’s start with the ‘you know that you and I are one’ part. This is clearly a yin-yang thing. Creation and destruction are not separate; they are parts of a whole and cannot exist without each other. They define each other.
The two halves of the yin-yang symbol are often defined as masculine and feminine aspects or energies. Keep in mind this is not the same as male and female bodies; it is something much deeper and more subtle, particularly as both energies are said to be contained and expressed within each and every one of us. ‘Male’ and ‘female’ are merely words commonly used to express such concepts as the active and passive, day and night, the conscious and unconscious, and so forth.
Each half of the yin-yang contains a dot of the 'opposite' colour, to signify that the masculine contains aspects of the feminine, and vice versa. They are not opposites; they complement, contain and need each other to form a whole. The goal in life, according to so many eastern belief systems, not to mention western magical systems including alchemy, is to tap into the yin and yang within the self and achieve a perfect harmonious balance between the two sides. If you’re following my Miraculous tart card paintings, you’ll notice this is a feature of just about every card meaning.
Plagg and Tikki represent these ideas. One cannot exist without the other. How can you create if there is no prior destruction? And what is there to destroy without creation? Therefore, Plagg has this faith that he and Tikki will be reunited because he understands the nature of the universe.
As the embodiment of the power of destruction, Plagg is usually seen as a selfish, apathetic, giant stomach. This makes sense to me, because destruction is a kind of devouring process.
However, in this scene in ‘Deflagration’, he had one of his rare moments of sensitivity, highlighting that yin-yang concept once again. Remember in ‘Dearest Family’ when he said there’s a reason there’s also a kwami of destruction, after Tikki caused so much damage with unchecked creation? Creation is not good and destruction is not bad. It’s all about balance and context.
What was really interesting was that when Monarch got both miraculous in ‘Deflagration’, Plagg was the one with the instant plan. He knew the solution was self-sacrifice - again, you would go there, if you were destruction. And he’s not technically alive, so he can’t truly be annihilated. As long as there is creation, there is destruction. When he cataclysmed the ring, he must have simply returned to his energetic non-personified state.
However, his unhesitating self-sacrifice paralleled all the times Adrien has sacrificed himself. Usually, this has been as Cat Noir, although in ‘Gorizilla’ he made a major leap of faith as Adrien. Plagg’s words to Tikki could have been spoken as Adrien / Cat Noir, expressing that unwavering conviction that  Ladybug will bring him back. Tikki’s worries could have been Ladybug’s.
We are often told Plagg is rubbing off on Adrien, e.g. in ‘Rocketear’. So, it’s tempting to say this is why Cat has these suicidal moments. But as already noted, he made that jump in ‘Gorizilla’ as Adrien. He was clearly chosen for his particular miraculous because he already embodies these qualities in some way. In this world or another, he will gladly go down firmly believing that he and Ladybug will be reunited in some way.
In other words...when Plagg immediately leapt to the self-sacrifice solution...was this an instance of Adrien rubbing off on him, rather than the other way round?
Also - it implies that Adrien and Marinette, or at least their souls or however you want to view this, are truly destined to be together, because they are two halves of a whole, just as their powers are. The red string of fate binds them together.
Not gonna lie - there is so much more I want to say about this, but it all feels like it’s there on the tip of my mind and I’m struggling to find the words for it because it’s so subtle. But there’s my stab in the dark at trying to pin down what I have been thinking of that scene ever since it first aired. It was a beautiful moment amid the chaos.

soulmate au: the temperature of your chest gets hotter when you are closer to your soulmate and colder when you move further away.
It was embarrassing to admit how dependent Scary was on her soulmates’ warmth. When she was growing up, she never considered herself someone who was overly cold. She knew plenty of people who were desperate to meet their soulmates, plenty of people who would shiver from how far they were from the other part of their hearts. She was never that bad. She was fine making her way through life at a lukewarm temperature, the California sun was enough to keep her content.
And then she met her boys and all of a sudden, making it through one day without curling up against at least one of them seemed unbearable.

woohoo, day 11!! just some simple and sweet polywagon for today o7 because i like making scary kiss her friends. this is known about me
