MLB SEASON 5 BIBLE SPOILERS/LEAKS!!
dont read if u don’t want to be spoiled!! im letting everything out after the cut!
okay so. curiosity got the best of me and i decided to read the bible. it was really easy to get my hands on so for those who want to avoid it, be extra cautious.
but boy am i glad that i read it now instead of having everything be a surprise at the end because i know i would have been disappointed. to start off, the most important and interesting aspects of the show such as chat blanc, the sentimonster theory, and the emilie/agreste backstory were not mentioned at all. the bible was a little vague, but not so much as to completely gloss over these parts!! makes me think they’re not going to touch on any of it at all.
the big deal about the agreste backstory and agreste “kitchen” were literally no where to be found, too. i know bibles are just outlines of what’s to come, but the bibles for the previous seasons included basically everything that had happened! i guess im a little hopeful, this means not EVERYTHING has been spoiled for season 5. either that or…they’re just dropping the idea entirely.
also can we talk about adrien never finding out his father is hawkmoth???? that’s INSANE. like absolutely disappointing and terrible writing. i hate to be harsh but honestly, who pitched this idea?? and who AGREED?? 99% of the fanfic i (and probably the rest of the fandom) consume is adrien finding out about hawkmoth being his father, and the emotional turmoil that comes after. AND maribug being by his side for it all!! the show is really pushing the idea of “you and me against the world” in the 5th and, what feels like, the final season. but how do they think they can execute this idea if maribug is going to keep such a big secret from him?? and yes— if your reading this out of context, mari will know gabriels identity and never tell adrien (adrien was not at the scene when it happened.)
and it seems the writers are taking the adrienette route in the romance department, but i was really hoping ladynoir would get together first :( they’ve definitely been through more together as superheroes, and i feel like it would really tie the idea of them against the world. & chat noir constantly saying he’d wait as long as it takes for ladybug to love him back, but then moving on to marinette, just makes his love for her cheesy and empty. that’s just me though, maybe im too much of a ladynoir lover. i feel like adrienette doesn’t really have much to offer. it’s too boring, if im being blunt.
another thing. im not a fan of zoe wielding the cat miraculous. alya with the ladybug miraculous— yes, i understand. zoe with the cat?? to give a secondary character who just joined the show in the fourth season the most powerful miraculous really waters down its importance to me. to wield a miraculous, it was established that u had to prove yourself, that u had to earn it (as alya had proven.) unless zoe does something insane before the mid season episode, i don’t like the idea very much.
i don’t want to rant too much about this because i have a lot to talk about. but I will say that im a little bit disappointed. the only thing that shocked me was marinette combining the cat and ladybug miraculous, and adrien never finding out his father is hawkmoth :( everything else, even the cliffhanger and all the lila drama, i didn’t really care for. in hindsight it all sounds pretty solid but i already KNOW the execution is going to be bad so for that, im bummed.

Hey do u happen to know the reason Ladybug is a better fighter than Cat Noir? Cause if you think about it, it really doesn't make any sense at all. Marinette is literally so clumsy that Chloe herself points out there is not a single day where she doesn't over something and her parents were hesitant to let her carry the macarons due to clumsy nature. Adrien, on the hand, has taken kung fu, karate, and fencing for a while now. So how is Ladybug able to beat Noir + other akumas really easily?
Well, anon, if you had asked me this question a year ago, my answer would have been very different.
My answer now is that, you are asking the wrong questions.
(This ended up being an essay so more under the cut)
I really don't think Marinette's clumsiness is really a factor to be brought into play here. The suit enhances her physical abilities and resilience, it's a part of hers and Chat Noir's powers. They've both tumbled off huge monuments and buildings and are still able to get back up like nothing happened. That part can easily be explained away with suspension of disbelief.
(And besides, Marinette and the people around her, for the most part reaaallly don't treat her clumsiness as a fatal flaw or a way to make her seem lesser than she is but that's a thing for another post. Also, of course Chloe would say that. She's Chloe. She's not a reliable source of judgement.)
Personally, and I have always thought this, and it's right there in the show with proper evidence, Adrien IS better at a fist fight. Like you said, he has taken martial arts (he took karate, btw, not kung fu), he is a champion fencer and he's a basketball player as well, he literally scaled his rock climbing wall like a champ just to catch Plagg in Origins, he CARRIED the fight in so many episodes I can name (Simon Says, Darkblade, Miracle Queen, Silencer, Oni Chan, Gamer 2.0, Gigantitan, Weredad, Chat Blanc are the ones that come to my mind right now, but I definitely know that there is a lot more).
Heck, Adrien's entire home life is a freaking obstacle course he has to keep dodging for the foreseeable future! If he acted like how Chat Noir would cataclysm an akumatised object, directly removing the obstacles instead of tiptoeing past them, Gabriel the Perfect Father's instant reaction is house arrest, or taking away his life raft, the only thing keeping him afloat.
He NEEDS to obey Gabriel's direct orders, he NEEDS to appear quiet and obedient in front of his father because he knows the consequences of what would happen if he acted otherwise. His resilience (which requires a lot of courage, patience and prudence) and strength of character is literally what is keeping him sane and alive. He is doing so well despite dealing with grief and loneliness, and more people than Plagg need to tell him that. Adrien’s character is much much more than his direct and straightforward approach in battle and the show does that so well.
Marinette on the other hand, has a different arc. She doesn't NEED to have the same kind of qualities Adrien possesses because she doesn't have, and doesn't need to have an abusive family clipping her wings. Social life wise, Marinette thrives while Adrien struggles. Marinette, after Origins, that is, has a good support system in her friends and her family, which she reciprocates in good measure.
I went back and rewatched that one scene you mentioned in Puppeteer and while Ladybug does toss Evillustrator and Rogercop over her shoulder like they weigh nothing, it was all a part of a complicated, cunning plan Marinette put together in 30 seconds flat. She needed to rely on her intelligence and literal-out-of-the-box thinking in order for it to work. Chat would have handled it differently maybe, (not that his way of taking them all down one by one if Puppeteer hadn't gotten his doll would not have worked) but that whole scene of Marinette macgyvering her way through the situation is exactly what makes her an excellent hero.
I say "better", cause it's with her kind of thinking that their team calls the shots, not because I think Chat Noir can't handle himself or that he's an idiot. He most certainly is not. Hawkmoth's methods need a proper counterpart in order to defuse them, and his M.O is akin to a crash course where the player needs to find a hidden switch that turns it off. Marinette's way of critical thinking is honed exactly for that, even in the worst kind of situations.
However, Marinette is still human, and she can be impulsive, hot headed and she has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions. All these are perfectly understandable and explanatory considering the pressure the poor girl is under. She is bound to crack sometimes and that is where Adrien comes in.
Marinette may be the key to solving a circumstance of high stakes and danger, but Adrien is the one whose entire LIFE is a circumstance of high stakes and danger. If Marinette stumbles while navigating it, Adrien is there to catch her because he is sadly used to, and knows what it's like to be depressed and anxious of failure and disappointment.
See, this is the mistake Fu made. While he did and does believe in Marinette's capability as a hero, he completely failed to acknowledge that it is with Adrien's support that she is stronger. That is why the mess that is Loveater and Miracle Queen happened, because of the mistake that Fu made Marinette make: not letting her rely on her partner.
Marinette's high strung emotions led her astray, but her following Fu's orders to not let Chat Noir (who had a cool head then, unlike Marinette) get the miraculous instead of her just sent her tumbling off course.
Remember how I said you're asking the wrong questions?
I totally get why you would think that. I used to think that too. I would honestly STILL love to have an explicit scene of Adrien's awesomeness, but I'm not angry or bitter about it anymore. It's really not a big deal.
There was never a question about "Who is the better hero? Who has the higher attack count? Who can pull more punches?" Ladybug's competence isn't determined by Chat Noir's mistakes, and vice versa.
It's fun to fangirl over or point out their Character Moments of Awesome, and that's totally valid. But in the bigger picture, or the long run, it's pointless and nonsensical to compare them with each other.
They're not just two people fighting to save a city, they're two people fighting to save a city together as a team. Ladybug's plans ALWAYS involve Chat Noir's input, whether it is physical combat or intellectual thinking. Her plans never fly or are given the green light unless he's on board with it too (save for a few occasions, like Backwarder). If they kept on arguing with each other about who is better, or who can handle this on their own (which both of them were slightly guilty of in Season 1 but have completely grown out of by now) without the other's help, they would not be the success of teamwork that they are.
Their teamwork consists of (but is not defined by) their intelligence, their wits, their quick thinking, their proficiency in combat, but it is ultimately the fact that Ladybug can always rely on and trust Chat Noir that keeps their partnership running.
So the question is not and was never, "Why is Ladybug better?". It was "How much does Chat Noir's presence mean to Ladybug?"
And the New York Special answered it plenty.

My predictions for Felix’s role in season 4
A few episodes into season 4 (possibly episode 9 as we know that’s the episode titled Gabriel Agreste), Felix will return to stay with the Agrestes while Amelie has to go on a ling business trip. As to why Amelie is having Felix stay with the Agrestes in Shadow Moth-ridden Paris instead of having him stay with relatives back in London, I have a couple of explanations:
1. Just because London doesn't to deal with Hawk Moth, that doesn't mean London doesn't have its own supernatural problems. Zagtoon has a series in the works called Miss Rose, which is about a magical spy and this series will do with crossover with Miraculous in the upcoming London special, so it stands to reason, that London has just as much supernatural drama as Paris, if not moreso. Therefore, Felix probably has to deal with supernatural threats regardless of where he is, but at least in Paris, the damage caused by akumas and sentimonsters can be reversed by Ladybug. 
2. Felix’s paternal relatives have sort of lost interest in Felix following the death of his father for reasons that I’ll explain later in the post (though u can probably already guess if u read my post about a possible return of Chat Blanc). 
After Amelie leaves for her business trip, Gabriel asks Felix to meet with him in private. Gabriel then confronts Felix about the ring he stole. Felix tries to deny it, but Gabriel calls him out of his bullshit. Felix then states that Gabriel doesn’t deserve the Graham de Vanily rings and ask him if he even know the story of said rings. Gabriel says no, so Felix then proceeds to tell the story that Amelie told him. Felix tells him that when worn together, they give the wearer special powers. Gabriel then realizes how similar this sounds to the miraculous, particularly the Bat Miraculous he read about in the Grimoire. So he then takes off the ring he’s wearing and asks Felix to put it on to see if the story is true. So Felix puts on the ring, takes out the ring he stole out of his pocket, and puts it on his other hand. When he does this, a bat kwami appears. 
After silently kicking himself for not realizing sooner that he had a third miraculous literally on hand this whole time, Gabriel then takes Felix down to the basement. Felix is pretty weirded by this, and Gabriel then asks him if he remembers the deal he made with Hawk Moth. Felix responds “how could u possibly know that... oh crap you’re Hawk Moth aren’t u?” Gabriel confirms that he is and transforms into Hawk/Shadow Moth. Shadow Moth then asks Felix to use the bat miraculous to help him in his quest for the ladybug and cat miraculous. Felix (after getting over the initial shock that his uncle is Hawk/Shadow Moth) is hesitant because while Felix had offered to help Hawk Moth back in his intro episode, that was before the NY special (AKA the one where Hawk Moth threatened to start a nuclear war, not to mention having Mayura have a sentimonster wreck Paris then recall said sentimonster before Ladybug could fix the damage). Shadow Moth then proceeds to change back into Gabriel and show Felix Emilie’s coffin. 
Gabriel the proceeds to explain to Felix (and the audience) that Emilie had been using the damaged Peacock miraculous (ok we already knew that, but we still don't know how, and I hope that episode 9 will be the episode we find out via flashbacks). After the explanation, Felix then agrees to help Gabriel, but asks him refrain from trying to start another nuclear war (and to also stop akumatizing August. Not only is it really fucked up to akumatize a baby, but it also proven ineffectual). 
The next episode mark the debut not only Bat!Felix, but Swan!Lila (for those who haven't read some fo my earlier posts, I predicted a while back that the Swan Island location that was announced a sometime ago will be home to the Swan Miraculous, which Gabriel will get his hands on and give it to Lila). Throughout season 4 (and probably season 5) Lila and Felix will team up both in and out of costume to cause all sorts of trouble (with Felix only wearing the twin rings when he’s about to transform into Bat!Felix while he wears the ring he already had prior to his debut in his civilian life, this helps throw Ladybug off his trail). However, unlike Lila who has almost everyone fooled (save for Marinette, Adrien, and probably Alya now), a good chunk of Adrien’s classmates will be wary of Felix because of the prank he pulled back in his debut episode. Marinette will especially cautious of him because of the shit she saw him pull while she was Ladybug. That said, some classmates r willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume the “impersonating Adrien to make them think he didn't like them” thing was an grief-induced isolated incident that he feels remorseful about (and I can see Rose being among the classmates to give him that benefit of the doubt, as she’s very trusting). He will still get along with Adrien for the most part =, at least in public. Also at some point in this season, we will also be introduced to Adrien and Felix’s maternal grandfather, an actor and film producer who comes from old money. 
Around episode 20 of season 4, Felix will then confide in his kwami about his backstory. At his dad’s funeral his paternal grandmother revealed that he was not the biological son of said dad and that this grandmother only tolerated Felix for her son’s sake but now sees no point in acknowledging Felix now that his dad was dead. After the funeral, Felix asked Amelie is what his grandmother said about his dad not being his biological father true. As it turns out, Felix is actually the son of Emilie and Gabriel and Adrien’s twin brother. When Emilie was pregnant, Gabriel’s career hadn't taken off yet and they were financially struggling enough so that they couldn’t take care of more than 1 child. Around the same time, Amelie and her husband were struggling with infertility. So when Emilie found out she was having twins, she decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by letting Amelie secretly adopt 1 of her twins (or at least this is Emilie told Amelie; based on the interactions between Gabriel and Felix in the latter’s debut episode, I’m assuming that Gabriel isn't aware of Felix being his bio son and that Emilie convinced him that his Amelie just happened to get pregnant at the same time she did). This lead to Felix to become envious of Adrien for being the one Emilie apparently chose to keep. He also started to resent Gabriel for failing to realize that he was his biological son (because it’s pretty obvious, even if Emilie and Amelie r twins, the idea of them having identical-looking sons around the same time is pretty improbable, especially since the color of Felix’s hair and eyes is more consistant with with Emilie and Adrien than Amelie, so Felix is certain that Gabriel knows on some level he's his bio son (but Felix doesn't want to tell him until after Emilie has been revived as he fears Gabriel finding out any sooner that Emilie hid hid this from him might lead to him giving  up his plans to revive her). While bat kwami can sympathize with Felix’s angst about all this family drama (plus the bat Kwami hates Gabriel's guts for obvious reasons unrelated to the twin drama), the bat kwami points out to Felix that Adrien didn’t any more of the say in matter of which twin Emilie gave to Amelie than Felix and that given Gabriel’s controlling nature, Emilie may have done Felix a favor by giving him to Amelie and her husband instead allowing him to be raised by Gabriel. This causes Felix’s resentment towards Adrien to die down a bit... until he finds out Chat Noir’s true identity.
Somehow, Felix will begin o deduce/suspect that Adrien is Chat Noir. Since Felix knows Shadow Moth’s reasons for wanting the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous, he sees Adrien being Chat Noir as a huge betrayal and decides then and there to destroy Adrien one and for all. The bat kwami tries to talk some sense into Felix, only for Felix to renounce him and place the bat miraculous in his pocket and put his civilian ring back on (which I headcanon as having belonged to his deceased adoptive father). He then asks Gabriel to akuamtize him into a superior version of Chat Noir. Shadow Moth is confused by this, but complies, and the akuma goes into Felix’s civilian ring, transforming him into the new Chat Blanc (if this sounds familiar, that’s probably because I wrote another post predicting that Felix will become the new Chat Blanc. He proves powerful enough for Ladybug and Chat Noir to bring out several temp heroes, but the heroes eventually manage to defeat him. Also during the battle, Shadow Moth overhears Chat Blanc 2.0 refer to Chat Noir as Adrien and Shadow Moth explains to Chat Blanc 2.0 that he saw Chat Noir and Adrien at the same place at the same time back in Gorizilla, and after the battle Chat Noir (thinking that Felix had been unwillingly akumatized and thus wouldn't remember what Shadow Moth told him) assures Felix that he and Adrien r separate people. Felix then goes home and un-renounces the bat kwami. Meanwhile, in order to ensure Felix believes that Chat and Adrien r different people, Chat Noir later approaches Ladybug and tells her “Felix thinking that I might be his cousin reminds me. Someone in my family keeps asking me if I’m Chat Noir, and don’t seem to believe me when I say no. Can I please borrow the fox so I can throw them off their trail?” So Ladybug loans Chat the fox. 
Later when Sabine is akumatized into Verity Queen and exposes Lila’s lies, she also finds out about how Lila framing Marinette back in “Ladybug” was partly motivated by Gabriel offering Lila a modeling contract in exchange for keeping Marinette away from Adrien. Confused as why Gabriel hates Marinette that much, she considers the possibility that maybe Lila fed him some lies about Marinette, but she decides to her lasso of truth on Grandpa Graham De Vanily (who happened to be in the tv studio with them as he and Lila were both scheduled for interviews) to get his opinion on Gabriel, this leads to a reveal that the the reason Emilie gave Felix to Amelie was not because she and Gabriel couldn't afford to raise more than 1 kid but because Grandpa Graham de Vanily forced Emilie to do so. You see when Amelie and her husband realized that they wouldn't be able to have biological children, they deciced to look into adoption. However, Grandpa Graham De Vanily loathed the idea of having a grandchild who wasn’t related to him by blood, so when the then-pregnant Emilie told her father she was having twins, grandpa Graham de Vanily (after asking Emilie is she already told Gabriel she was having twins yet, to which Emilie replied “not yet, he still thinks I’m just having 1 baby and I’ll tell him about the twins when he gets home) suggested that she give 1 of the twins to Amelie, then when Emilie said no on the grounds that she didn't want to choose between her kids, grandpa Graham de vanily threatened to use his connections to destroy Gabriel’s budding fashion career and make sure that he and Emilie couldn't get any kind of work needed to support their children. Bat!Felix (who made it to the studio in time to hear his grandfather’s confession, then asks Grandpa Graham de Vanily if Amelie was aware that Emilie had been coerced into giving her Felix, to which grandpa replies that he specifically told Emilie to not tell Amelie about the blackmail. And yes, this is when Gabriel finds out Felix is his biological son, and this would also be when Adrien (as Chat Noir) finds out Felix is his brother. 
Amelie returns soon after this and she is pissed at her father for forcing Emilie to give up one of her babies.

Phantom Pain
Read on AO3 and FFN
A/N: *Dumps remaining coursework and essay crap to one side* So! Chat! Fucking! Blanc! EH? I think it's my favourite episode of miraculous of all time lel~ An idea popped up in my head and I won't be able to sleep till I've got it out of my system. It's been a long time since I've written some decent angst despite it being my favourite genre. Enjoy the drabble and my ten minute doodle along with it~~~
(WARNING: Mentions of child abuse is in this fic)
Inspired by this MV "Phantom Pain" (collaboration of Rahwia and Luz of their Royal Scandal collection) It's wonderful~!
~(x)~
.
.
.
"Tch!"
Again.
The familiar yet foreign stab of pain resonated through the teen's body as he recoiled slightly and clutched his chest. This time, Adrien felt like he was smacked by something hard and heavy.
A cane perhaps...?
He inhaled sharply once more and then allowed himself to relax. The boy didn't dare to meet his kwami's pitiful gaze- he's had enough of everyone treating him like some wounded lamb.
"It's been weeks now kid..." Plagg murmured out with anguish, ears and tail drooping and his favourite pungent snack left uneaten. The God of destruction plopped himself on top of Adrien's shoulder, hoping he can comfort the boy. "You need to tell Ladybug-"
"No." Plagg felt his fur stand up to the ends at the hero's uncharacteristic harsh tone. Adrien realised it too, lowering his head down apologetically and used a finger to stroke his kwami's head. "No Plagg, not now."
"You've been saying that for a long time! You can't hide it forever. If you're not gonna see a doctor then at least see the Lady!" Plagg was met with another sigh whilst Adrien flopped back down on his bed. He pulled a pillow against his face, fingers close to digging holes into the few comforts he has in life.
"My Lady was literally thrown into Guardianship with little warning and zero training even though she's so exhausted from her civilian duties. I don't know how much you can see or hear whilst I'm transformed but one good glance at her and you can tell that she's about to burst. I'm supposed to help her out, not add to her burdens..."
"You'll only start burdening her once your pains elongate, especially during akuma attacks. Stupid!" Plagg scoffed, kicking one of Adrien's blonde locks that stuck out of his gelled hairstyle. His scowl only deepened when the model chuckled at his antics. "This isn't funny kid! Watch, when you start bending over in pain and crying and crawling on the floor, I will rub it into your face of how I told you so! Stupid kitten!" The God kicked the hair strands a few more times till Adrien rolled over and merrily flicked him away.
"That's not going to happen Plagg." A reassuring smile was set on Adrien's face. "These pains itself are kinda...I'm not sure how to word it...abstract?"
"What is that supposed to mean, Blondie?"
"It's like they're there but not there at the same time, do you understand? It's like taking a shot to the arm and getting that sting for a split second...only to feel nothing afterwards- excluding that horrible ache you get from injections. That's about it..."
"Hmmmm...interesting..."
"Do you have an idea of what it is?"
"The only thing I know is that human biology is weird and sucky."
"Wo-ooow. You're so helpful." Adrien commented dryly.
"I know~ I should absolutely win the most helpful being on Earth award!" Whether Plagg was being serious or not, Adrien couldn't tell. With another painful sigh, the boy forced himself to sleep.
He couldn't sleep that night.
Neither could Plagg.
~(x)~
Until the God commented on it, Adrien wasn't aware that he was unconsciously avoiding his father. The boy hadn't realised when he have made a habit of eating his meals in his room or when he stopped asking about his paternal figure in general. To no one's surprise, neither Nathalie nor Gabriel attempted to approach him about his new behaviour patterns.
"Huh...I didn't notice," Was all that Adrien muttered out before he shrugged and munched on his toast. Plagg narrowed his eyes at this and decided to pursue a new mission.
Keep his eyes open.
Even if this costs him his own sleep and relaxation.
Just as the teen was about to leave the bitter mansion for school, an authoritative voice from the top of the stairs halted him. Whether that was from habit, surprise or even fear, neither Plagg nor Adrien were able to pinpoint it.
"Yes Father?" As soon as the boy made eye contact with the man, excruciating pain bled through his body. Adrien's acting skills however are said to be immaculate so the only thing Gabriel caught was an eye twitch from his son.
"Nathalie has fallen sick again so I'm here to inform you that you have a photoshoot starting at twelve sharp till the rest of the afternoon. Make sure you're on time, or else." The pain only worsened when Gabriel's tone turned grave.
"U-Understood, Sir." It took everything for Adrien to let his voice out coherently rather than the anxious, scratchy feeling that built up instead. He couldn't bare to stand for another second so with a quick nod, the boy exited the building.
A walk turned out to be a speed walk.
A speed walk quickly changed to a jog.
A jog suddenly burst into a full blown sprint.
Adrien didn't stop until he was safe and secure inside the car with Gorilla. He gasped for a breath and clenched a fist against his chest till the pain and apprehension died down. Plagg's soothing purrs sent warmth through his body and Gorilla's presence was like a soothing balm to the mind.
"I haven't been this scared since..." Adrien immediately bit his tongue to say no more. He refused to let that memory resurface to his messed up mind. It took him months to stop flinching at his father's presence ever since that day and he would gladly chop off his arm than go through that again.
Finally, they've arrived at school, a good thirty minutes early. Just as Adrien was about to step out, Gorilla caught his attention with a soft grunt. Curious, Adrien paused with wonder.
The bodyguard moved his hands and arms into various gestures, his beady eyes softened with worry and kindness.
'I'm here for you, it will be okay. I will protect you.'
Adrien felt himself getting choked up from the exhilaration that spread through his body from head to toe. Blinking back his tears, he signed back a 'Thank you,' with a megawatt smile.
He's not alone.
~(x)~
She looked so much more tired today.
Not as in sleepy or anything like that- just exhausted and full of melancholy.
Her wonderful smiles were always something that Adrien looked forward to along with her energetic antics. Now? He hasn't seen that smile in weeks (he declines the outrageous idea of her fake smiles as an actual smile).
What happened to his Princess? She could give his Lady a run for her money right about now.
Adrien felt a heavy ache agonising his chest and his eyes pricking again. Only this time, it felt like his heart was mourning. Or that he was longing for something. He has long since gave up on identifying his emotions when it comes to the budding designer. Before, Adrien vowed that if anyone dared to hurt Marinette or make her cry, he wouldn't spare them.
Now, he's willing to destroy the world for her.
It scared him beyond conception but at the same time, he's accepted it as naturally as breathing. He didn't dare to tell Plagg this. Nor Ladybug.
"You alright there, Marinette?" Adrien placed a tentative hand on her forearm, face etched with worry. Marinette lifted her head off her hand, blinking slowly at the boy. Her desk was scattered with so much work, ranging from school work to commissions to student council work and- is that Mandarin?
"Hey you," For the first time in a long while, Marinette smiled. It was soft, slightly pained and her eyes twinkled ever so lightly. Yet, it was like a goldmine to Adrien. He let his lips mirror hers. "I'm fine, don't worry about me Adrien," Her voice was quiet and slow as she placed a hand over his.
"Telling me not to worry about you is like telling the weather to stop raining in England," He earned a delightful giggle from Marinette and he felt his body alleviate from the pain earlier on. Sometimes, he could swear that Marinette's smile is the cure to everything.
"I can assure you that there are better things to worry about. Like the Chemistry test we have this afternoon,"
"Eugh. For once I'm thankful for the shoot at twelve." He dramatically draped himself on the desk, the back of his hand against his forehead as he pretended to die. He caught laughter from not only Marinette but a few other students in class. "Also, sorry to burst your bubble but I can assure YOU that you're the only thing worth worrying about,"
He got a small gasp from her.
Marinette's cheeks pinkened beautifully and her lips were shaped in a perfect 'o'. She was about to gleefully retort back but suddenly, she seemed to have closed back in and her eyes turned downcast again.
A restraint.
But why?
Adrien didn't get the chance to ask; the bluetooth on her ear buzzed, alerting Marinette of some prior engagement and she was quick to excuse herself. The teen didn't want to let her go so easily.
Marinette felt her hand getting tugged backwards by a larger pair. Like a deer in headlights, she glanced at Adrien with despair. He only stared back with plea, tightening their interlocked fingers.
'Stay. Please.'
'I can't...'
Reluctantly, Adrien let her go. He memorised every movement and feeling as her fingers slipped away, taking away all the comfort and warmth with her without a word. The misery and irritating pain sounded their presence in his heart once more for a millisecond before droning away into a numbing buzz.
Is this...
Heartbreak?
"Hey dude," Nino's voice brought Adrien back to reality. "I know you're worried, we all are. But we have to give 'Nette some space. She's going through some personal shit right now."
"She is? I wasn't aware..." He clutched his shirt and twisted the fabric against his chest, staring at the door forlornly as if Marinette's going to magically appear.
"None of us were till I finally cracked her down after pestering for so long," Alya mused sadly. "She mentioned that she's really messed things up so badly that she has no choice but to fix it alone. Oh and she's taken on Chinese too which is like another clusterfuck."
"I saw some of the papers on her desk..." Adrien added.
"She literally lives in the library now with all this work she's doing. When was the last time she ate Alya?" Nino's innocent question set Cesaire off as she stormed out of the room.
"MARINETTE! YOU BETTER HAVE EATEN BREAKFAST TODAY OR ELSE I'LL SHOVE A MILLION CROISSANTS DOWN YOUR THROAT!"
Adrien bit his lip and shook his head, knuckles whitening as they gripped the desk with displeasure.
"Whoever turned Marinette into this must be the lowest of the low..." The model let out a violent curse afterwards, ignoring Nino's astonished look. It's rare for Adrien to swear but from what Nino has observed, whenever the boy does so, it's because he's absolutely pissed.
"Marinette must really care for them, whoever it is she claims she's hurt." Nino murmured. The pain in Adrien's chest only intensified after hearing this.
"If making her into a passive, depressive robot is what it takes to satisfy them, then they clearly need a wake up call,"
"...or maybe she isn't aware that she doesn't need to push everyone away and take on all of these responsibilities to redeem herself. Marinette is a perfectionist so whenever she falls, she falls hard."
"I-I never really thought of it like that..."
"You gotta come up with conclusions of both sides of the argument before jumping into the fray. Not everyone likes to dig their teeth in like an overprotective angry boyfriend." Nino cackled at Adrien's flushed complexion, digging his elbow into the model's torso fondly.
"Hey! I'm not her boyfriend!"
~(x)~
Ladybug and Chat Noir stood tall at the top of the Eiffel Tower, peering down at the citizens downbelow at the stroke of midnight. The lights of the tower gave the duo a superhuman glow, making them seem impenetrable and omnipotent.
The wall between them however made them so much more vulnerable and human than a Parisian could possibly fathom. The heroine was oddly knackered, silent and stoic whilst the hero was peculiarly submissive, tight lipped and detached. Their internal thoughts brought out their intimidating fronts, possibly fooling a foreigner that Ladybug and Chat Noir are mere strangers.
"So, when were you going to tell me?"
Chat Noir felt another strike of pain hit him but this time, in the head. His iron will and pride was what stopped him from staggering on the spot. His eyes did widen in surprise but knowing his partner, she caught that in her peripheral vision.
"Tell you what?"
"Don't act dumb, Chat Noir. Plagg snuck in this evening and told me everything." He would have melted at Ladybug's gentle tone had he not been busy muttering about how he's going to replace Plagg's camembert with the cheapest cheese in France. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ladybug's voice wavered with hurt and Noir was hit with deja vu.
"They're not serious bug, just...odd sensations that come and go."
"He claimed that you collapsed onto the floor once because you were in so much pain!" The boy winced at this, recalling the horrendous memory that surfaced. His mind wandered to his father's actions a few years back and suddenly, the belt wounds on his back felt raw again.
"But you've already got so much on your plate already..." He found his face cradled by her hands and her bluebell eyes turned icy. Chat couldn't help but shudder, shattering his aloof composure.
"Listen to me, those things are nothing compared to you. You will always take priority, do you understand? If you're hungry, we drop everything and get you food. If you're tired, my arms are open for you to sleep in. If you're in pain..." Tears were now pouring out of her eyes as she sniffed. "Then you should let me heal your wounds...and I can't do that if you don't tell me what's wrong, Chaton."
The sight of Ladybug's composure crumbling before him suddenly flashed to Marinette's despondent expression, causing a piercing pain to shoot through his head like a bullet to the brain. Chat didn't stop himself this time as he toppled into his Lady's arms, digging his claws through his hair with one hand and grasping Ladybug's waist like a lifeline with the other.
"If worrying about me is what makes you cry like this, then I'd rather die."
Chat pulled away from the embrace and clenched his teeth. Ladybug only paled, shaking her head. She didn't dare to let him go, gloved fingers digging into his shoulders.
"W-Why would you say something like that?" Ladybug sputtered before masking her raw feelings with anger. "Don't you DARE say something like that again! Do you understand!? There will be no dying or talk of death!" She banged a fist against his chest for good measures. Hard enough to send a message, gentle enough to afflict zero pain.
"I can't help what I feel," Chat Noir settled a hand on her cheek, thumb massaging the area below her eye. His face mellowed to the most tender expression Ladybug has ever seen. "You were already acting weird and skittish around me that evening when you placed your head on my shoulder," He let his hand trail to the back of her head. "And then when Fu gave up his memories and left you with everything, I always saw you with puffy eyes, tense muscles, no more of that beautiful smile..." He kissed her forehead so lightly, it was like a butterfly tickled her skin with its delicate wings. "It's like you've given up on happiness and I hate it. And if I'm just going cause more sadness then-"
"Stop. You're one of the few people out there in my entire life that keeps me going. You're one helps me keep fighting," Ladybug looked away again and then faced him with newly found determination. "But that's not what matters right now. What matters is this bizarre pain you're going through. Please, tell me everything."
Ladybug is a stubborn girl. This doesn't mean it's impossible to crack her down. However, Chat decided that it'll be easier to tackle on her overworking habit after they got his mundane problems out of the way.
He told her everything. Starting from waking up in the middle of the night, clutching his chest, the feeling of heartbreak whenever he sees his close friend, the deja vu and finally, his avoidance of his father.
"You...you fear your father?" Ladybug looked confused for a second as Chat looked sheepish. Abruptly, her face darkened with indignation, causing his heart to start throbbing. "Chat Noir...has your father ever hit you?"
The wind breezed past them in a howl.
Time seems to have stood still.
Chat felt the blood rushing through his ears like a hurricane and his body shook. Hugging himself, the boy quickly denied, shaking his head and stammering.
His teary eyes said otherwise.
~(x)~
Adrien collapsed back on his bed, the energy seeped out of his pores yet his eyes remained wide open. He played the memories of earlier on through his head.
Of how Ladybug refused to let him go.
Of how she cursed their secret identities.
Of how she threatened to mutilate his father for DARING to lay a hand on him despite it being a few years ago.
Or...
Has he recently done so but Adrien somehow wiped it away from his memories?
He didn't know anymore.
The model rubbed his chest, thankful that he's been relatively pain free after his meeting with Ladybug. Was opening up the cure to it? Did Ladybug put some sort of healing spell on him? Maybe talking about feelings isn't so bad after all. Yet, Adrien worried his lips with guilt- how is his Lady meant to cope now that she knows what a shitty Father he has?
Plagg has been strangely quiet, now that Adrien has realised. He prodded the Kwami a few times with his fingers, trying to get a reaction from him. He even waved a slice of camembert but that got nothing!
"Plagg...please talk to me..." As if the heavens have finally answered his prayers, Adrien grinned goofily when Plagg finally faced him. The God gave a little purr when his charge stroked his head.
"Get some sleep kid, I wanna see you, Glasses one and Glasses two bully Princess into eating breakfast tomorrow. M'kay?" Adrien felt his heart warm at the thought of the noir haired girl.
"First of all, stop calling Nino and Alya 'Glasses'. Second, 'Princess' is my nickname for Marinette, get your own." With that said and done, the teen was swept away into a blissful sleep for the first time in forever.
No more pain.
No more sadness.
Plagg's gentle smile was then eclipsed with the most demonic, dangerous expression a being could possibly have. His lime green eyes turned acidic and feral. His aura switched to one of bloodlust.
There are many things and secrets that kwamis keep away from their holders or be vague about.
For example, when the holders are transformed, the kwamis can see everything through their eyes and hear everything through their ears. It's like watching the world in someone else's body.
Consequently, it wasn't only Ladybug who found out that Adrien used to get hurt.
That's also not it, not even the slightest.
It took perhaps a week or longer for Tikki and Plagg to regain their memories from Oblivio. An adorable secret that they'd happily share with Adrien and Marinette once it's safe for them to share their identities.
It was only after Ladybug asked that question today when they regained their memories...
From the erased timeline.
Plagg phased through Gabriel's door robotically, his aura growing larger and larger and so much more dangerous.
This is the man who hurt Adrien...
This is the man who forced Marinette to leave Adrien or else he'd take away his freedom...
This is the man who did this just to create akuma fodder...
This is the man who broke Adrien's mind with his mother's corpse in the basement...
This is the man who BEAT the ever loving SHIT out of his own son...
This is the man who MANIPULATED Adrien and kept on BREAKING him...
This is the man who CAUSED his kitten's and Ladybug's world its DEMISE.
And ALL of this is just for a SELFISH wish which can only be granted at the price of ADRIEN'S LIFE.
Much to Plagg's chagrin, Gabriel was wide awake, ready to step inside a strange circle with Nooroo hovering miserably by his side. The dark God knocked over something to grab the man's attention.
Gabriel Agreste turned around with anger at being disturbed and caught (probably was expecting Adrien and more than ready to lash out at the poor boy) only to gawk like a dead fish. Plagg paid no mind at the villain's rambles, piecing together that his suspicions were true of Adrien being Chat Noir. As expected, Gabriel had a psychotic grin plastered on his face, ready to steal Adrien's ring.
"Nooroo," Plagg finally spoke. "Take the brooch and hide in my kitten's bag. You'll meet up with our lovely Guardian tomorrow." Tears of joy escaped the lilac kwami's eyes, nodding and easily phased through his ex-master's chest to grab the brooch, making way to the door.
"What!? Nooroo what are you doing! Obey your master now this instant!" Gabriel's thunderous roar was left unheard and soon, it was just him and Plagg. "What the hell did you do to my servant you despicable rodent!?"
"That's the God of Destruction to you, scum." The aura around Plagg suddenly took shape, distorting into the most monstrous being one could ever imagine.
"And I will show you what we do to those who misuse the power of the Miraculous and mistreats their offsprings..."
~(x)~
Marinette and Adrien burst out laughing as they witnessed Nino get whammed by a hoard of snowballs from not only Alya but the rest of the girls as well. Something to do with revenge of his earlier comment about how the latest Marvel film sucked. The duo sipped on some of the delicious Dupain Cheng hot chocolate, savouring every drop.
"How are you not freezing your butt off?" Marinette whined, blowing some air into her hands with a shudder. "I can't feel my fingers..." This caused the boy to blurt out into snickers again.
"Not all of us are cold blooded like you, Mari." The girl in question simply stuck her tongue out at him. "Wow, very mature." He poked her cheek with his ungloved hand, earning a squeal in protest.
"Don't touch me! You're so cold what the hell!?"
"But the best way to warm up is to cuddle! Come one~"
"Noooooooo-"
Marinette didn't make it two steps as she found herself enveloped in a pair of arms and her untimely clumsiness caused them both to trip and fall into a blanket of snow. The two glanced at each other for a moment before dissolving into giggles.
"Ah~ it's been a while since I've laughed like that." Marinette quipped. Adrien helped lift her to her feet, brushing off any snow on her body like a gentleman. "I missed it, letting loose like that."
Adrien smiled warmly in return when she fixed his scarf. "I missed it too, your laugh," Marinette's eyes widened with awe, that beautiful shade of pink sprinkled on her cheeks before she ducked down shyly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Deja vu swept over them both as they made eye contact again.
Adrien tucked a strand behind her other ear before trailing his hand down her arm and reaching her hand. He gave it an encouraging squeeze so that she can let her fingers curl with his. Their eyes darted between each others lips to their eyes, a silent question left in the air.
The model didn't get a chance to lean in as soon as he felt a large hand place itself on his shoulder. He turned around only to see a grave looking Damocles.
~(x)~
Dead.
His father is dead.
Police has swarmed the mansion, searching for clues and leads in how the man managed to die.
The details weren't pretty.
Apparently when Nathalie went to Gabriel's room with his schedule in hand, she found a grotesque looking corpse staring back at her on his chair. The room was filled with black soot, vines and extraterrestrial things. Things beyond human understanding. Adrien had an idea of who exactly did it.
He surprisingly didn't care. In fact, it's like a weight has been lifted off his chest and he can finally breathe.
"Monsieur Agreste? I know it's a lot to take in but do you need a minute to clear your head? Anything?" Sabrina's father asked considerately, a fatherly tone used in order to coax him.
Adrien didn't say anything for a while, touching his shoulder with one hand and staring off into space.
Plagg's purrs in his pocket gave him a sense of reality and finally,
The dams broke.
"He can't hurt me anymore...I'm free..."
.

A/N: Tfw you say you're gonna do a drabble but sit down four hours straight instead and go crazy hurr durr...

Operation: Sleepover
Here’s the first chapter of my newest fic.
It’s full of dumb teenager-y fluff based on that period of time in Chat Blanc where Adrien and Marinette are dating and he knows she’s Ladybug but she doesn’t know he knows or that he’s Chat Noir
Adrien somehow got permission to have Marinette stay the night at his house. They're both nervous teenagers who are really in love. Marinette makes a dastardly plan with Alya's approval.
Also, nothing really sexy happens in this story (just smooches and lots of blatant staring), but I feel weird about writing about 13/14 year olds so I'm pretending they're like 15/16? Idk fam, imagine what you want. Just keep in mind that these innocent beans are staying that way while still behaving like youngish teens.
Here it is on AO3, where I will be posting the next chapters too.
Ch 2     Ch3     Ch4   Ch5
(Oh also, the texting is just [Marinette] {Adrien} |Alya| and whoever’s the focus of the voice is bolded)
Marinette couldn’t help but grin as she read the text that popped up on her phone.
{See you tonight! *kissy emoji* Don’t forget your toothbrush, princess! <3}
She was really going over to Adrien’s house for a sleepover. Adrien her boyfriend. She was going to watch movies with him. On his couch. In HIS room. With HIS cute face. It’s not like they hadn’t hung out before. They went on dates all the time - Mr. Agreste was surprisingly lenient with letting Adrien out of the house for her sake. But she was going over to his house for a whole night. Usually, it wasn’t more than a few moderated hours of studying and video games. Marinette couldn’t help but giggle in excitement as she responded.
[Oh and I bet you want me to bring my own clothes too, huh, prince boy?]
{I mean it’s recommended unless you want to be stuck in a shirt five sizes too big for you, my little sugar cube <3}
Marinette blushed at the thought of wearing his clothes. They would be so soft, and so warm and so- wait. Five sizes too big? “Little”? 
[Take it back.]
{Hmmmmmmmmmm….? Take what back, princess?}
[I’m not that small.]
{Aren’t you though? I could probably scoop you up with one hand and kiss your tiny little head <3 And you’d blush and be so so cute, princess}
[Adrien.]
{And then I’d laugh at how cute you are, but the force of the wind coming from my mouth! Oh no! You’ve been blown away!}
Marinette wasn’t that upset by his short jokes. He was so tall, and she was admittedly petite, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t feign frustration for a bit to keep him on his toes (she knew that this usually ended with him sending heart emojis and him continuing to make short jokes).
[I’ll be at your house at 6:00 unless you keep this up. I have to go get my stuff ready.]
{:((((((( I was only joking, princess}
{ily}
{Mariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii}
[Seen 5:19PM]
{You didn’t need to type that :(}
[I love you too, silly prince.]
{:D}
{I knew it!}
{Everyone called me crazy but I knew you liiiiiked meee, princess}
[Let me pack, or else your princess won’t make it in time for dinner]
{As you wish. <3}
She clicked her phone off and set it down as she began to pack. She rifled through her drawers to try and find the cutest pajama set she had. Just as she settled on a matching pink floral button up and shorts combo, a wicked thought popped into her head. She grabbed her phone and tapped on her text conversation with Alya.
[I just had an idea.]
[Idk if it’s crazy or not but I need an expert opinion on the matter.]
Marinette got frustrated from the lack of immediate response. She was in a hurry and KNEW her best friend had her phone in hand at all times. Sure, it had only been a few seconds, but...
[Alya this is time sensitive.]
|Ah yes, the phrase no one can be safe after it is typed out by your thumbs, “I just had an idea.”|
[Rude]
|Spill, girl.|
Spill she did. Oh yes, it was a devious plan. She wasn’t sure what the reaction would be, but she’d all but decided on the course of action she planned to take tonight. Alya’s response was the only encouragement she needed.
|Damn, Mari. It’s crazy, I’ll give you that… but… I think it’ll work.|
[That’s what I was hoping you’d say >:3]
[But what if he thinks I’m… trying to seduce him?]
|Are you not?|
[NO!]
[We aren’t there yet, we’re… taking things slow? I guess?]
|God you’re cute.|
[u////u]
|I totally get that, girl. Take your time. Adrien’s sweet but a little too innocent to let this seduce him. I think you should do it.|
[I feel like that should be a sign that I shouldn’t]
[But I can’t be stopped now]
|You got this, girl. Text me to tell me how it goes?|
[Of course.]
With that, she got back to packing. She ran around her room, grabbing whatever she thought she might need. Her brain was a little scattered, being so focused on her plan, that she packed a lot of things she didn’t need. She had her toothbrush and other basic toiletries, a change of clothes for the next day, hairbrush, phone charger, water bottle, a bag of cookies for Tikki, a bag of cookies for Adrien, a notebook and pencil, a mini sewing kit, perfume, two pairs of shoes, a sketchbook, and a stuffed animal. As she tried to squash the poor little stuffed cat into her bag, she realized that she didn’t need all of this and took out the sketch pad, notebook, pencil, sewing kit, perfume, second pair of shoes, and the water bottle. She then shoved Mr. Vuitton the cat into her bag and zipped it up. As she hoisted the bag onto her shoulder, she glanced down at the abandoned pajamas lying on the floor. Tikki popped out from within the bag and gave Marinette a thoughtful look.
‘Maybe… I should…’ she thought, backtracking on her plans. She shook her head to clear it, stuck her phone in her pocket, and made her way to the trapdoor. She got halfway down the stairs before she ran back up and shoved the floral pink shorts in with everything else, then ran back downstairs, hearing a small giggle from inside her bag as she did so.
She glanced at the time. 5:43PM. She could make it in time if she walked fast enough. Before she left, she stopped by the bakery to give her parents kisses, her mom reminding her of the “serious relationship” talk they’d had the night before that Marinette didn’t want to think about too much as she rushed her way to her boyfriend’s house. She considered taking the metro to avoid getting sweaty, but nixed the idea when she remembered that rush hour was not going to help the state of her underarms either. Transforming was also out of the question unless she wanted attention and a strict talking-to from the kwami napping somewhere in the bag draped over her shoulder.
At 5:58PM, she rang the buzzer to announce her arrival, Nathalie’s questioning coming through the speakers quickly before a slightly panting Marinette made her way to the front doors of the mansion. Before she was even halfway up the stairs, a door was flung open and the boy she loved skirted out from behind it and raced to meet her where she was on the stairs while a disproving Nathalie looked on.
Unfazed by his excited behavior, she laughed as he greeted her with a kiss on each cheek and one on the lips. His face hovered close to hers as he started slipping the bag from her shoulder, “Let me carry that for you, princess.”
Blushing at the fact that Nathalie was watching as well as a reminder of, ‘wow he really is just like a puppy sometimes,’ she obliged and let him carry the bag as he linked arms with her for the remainder of their ascension.
“So I’m on kind of a strict protein based diet right now, something about wanting to bulk me up, so I hope you like meat and veggies with… absolutely no carbs,” trailing off, Adrien gave her a side-eye, a look she only knew too well from whenever he was put on a new diet. She winked at him and made a slight gesture to her bag to indicate that she had some sweet sweet carbs hidden away in there. Adrien grinned and kissed her forehead as they made their way inside the mansion.
Marinette wondered briefly if she would ever get used to the expanse that was the Agreste mansion. It felt too clean and empty to her, especially considering how small and cozy her home was. As they made their way into the dining room with the background noise of Nathalie listing off rules of the house and reminding Adrien of his schedule, Marinette couldn't help that twinge of guilt from settling in her stomach. She wished, for Adrien’s sake, that he could have grown up in a normal house with a normal family and a normal life rather than the one that was put upon him.
As Nathalie took Marinette’s bag from Adrien and left the room, Marinette gave a sad look towards Adrien and was surprised to be met with his expectant and loving gaze. “You okay, ‘Nette?” he asked as he pulled out a chair for her.
“Yeah, sorry! Just got a little… lost in my thoughts, that’s all. Have the rules changed since the last time I was here?” she responded, a smile leaking onto her face as she sat down adjacent to Adrien.
“No, not really. Nathalie did mention specific… bedroom rules,” he blushed at that, “But I don’t really think it applies to us?”
Not understanding why he phrased it as a question, Marinette returned his blush with her own as she asked for clarification, “What kind of ‘bedroom rules’?”
“You know… The usual. Don’t be naked with one another? Leave room for Jesus? Don’t boink your oinks?”
“Word for word, those are the rules?” Marinette giggled, a brow subconsciously quirking up in amusement. 
“It’s in the official Agreste mansion rules for guests, section 51J,” he unrolled an invisible scroll and cleared his throat. “‘Thou shalt not boink oinks until there has been proper discussion of said act between all parties of the household as well as the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in one room. Finally, the oinks in question must be old enough to consent to boinking.’” 
Marinette lost herself in a fit of giggles. Between the funny voice Adrien put on, the idea of Gabriel Agreste having a sex talk with his son, and the goofy smile he was giving her after rolling the invisible scroll back up, it was too much. Adrien joined in with her steadily growing laughter until they had to stop to gasp for air. Marinette wiped a tear from her eye and looked up at Adrien, who was absolutely beaming at her. The moment he moved to push some hair out of her face, the door opened. Marinette watched with a pit in her stomach as Adrien lit up and looked at the door expectantly, only to let his features fall into a frown and let out a sigh. It wasn't his father, it was just the chef bringing in their meals. Marinette let her hand rest on top of Adrien's as plates were set in front of them. The chef placed a glass of water in front of Adrien and a cup of hot jasmine tea down for Marinette. While she knew her attention should be set on her aching boyfriend, she couldn't help but beam at the meal in front of her. It was just as Adrien said - protein heavy red meat and roasted veggies - but Marinette knew that every meal at his house was like eating at a nice restaurant and was excited to dig in. Not only that, but the chef had remembered her love for the fancy jasmine tea they often had at the house. She glanced at her boyfriend once more to make sure he was okay before she started eating. He gave her a smile and then gestured at her plate as he picked up his utensils.

OK WAIT VAMPIRE AU AND IM LIVING FOR IT i have a shit ton of headcanons so,,,
here’s a quick summary
Humans hunt vampires and they’re often outcased/killed, although there’s been more recently since they’re learning from a young age to disguise themselves and can now hide their teeth.
also there's a couple types of vampires: some who melt in sun but have wings and can eat normal diets and those who don’t melt in sun, don’t have wings and need a little bit of blood in their diets (but it can be from like,, animals. It doesn’t have to be humans)
the vampires who melt in the sun (ILL CALL EM MELTY BOYS) are super rare so unless stated otherwise, whenever i say “X is a vampire” i'm referring to the not melty ones with no wings
setting/time/almost everything is the same. They are just. Vampires. (THEY LOOK DIFFERENTS TOO SFBDJHG)
also ships include: adrinette/ladynoir, djwifi, julerose, kimax, myvan, nathaniel/marc (I FORGOT THEIR SHIP NAME) and chlolix (chloe/alix)
You can send me ask if you want more details on certain things but yeah
if that interest you there’s more stuff under the cut
here’s what everyone is because its easier
Marinette: vampire *MELTY BOY
Adrien: vampire *MELTY BOY
Nino: human
Alya: half vampire thing?? Idk it just feels right *the sun hurts her skin a little, and she has little wings*
Chloe: vampire
Sabrina: human
Alix: vampire
Kim: human
Max: human
Rose: human
Juleka: vampire *MELTY BOY
Nathaniel: human
Lila: human
Mylene: human
Ivan: vampire
Everyone else is a human except for marc, nathalie and adrien’s mom *MELTY BOY
- marinette feels rlly bad about being a vampire (ALSO she a melty one)
- “TIKKI IM A VAMPIRE BRO I CANT BE LADYBUG”
- can go in the sun for about a minutes before it begins to really hurt so being ladybug isn’t awful cause she can hide in the shade most of the time
- ALWAYS HAS A SUN CAP ON (when she’s marinette) she just wants to be in the sun bro
- some guys start a theory that ladybug’s a vampire and she’s SCREAMING LIKE BRO HOW DO THEY KNOW but it was a joke
- alya is like,, super weird about vampires cause she was taught her whole life to hate vampires by nora because she thinks they’re super dangerous
- at first alya’s like “yeah suck it vampires” and then she learns she’s actually half vampire and she’s kinda like
- “fuck”
- almost rejects the miraculous lb gave her cause she was like “no im kinda vampire”
- but lb just goes “yeah me too so what”
- ALYA FREAKS SHE’S LIKE FUCK YEAH VAMP GANG
- nino’s super chill with her being a vampire!! he finds it rlly cool lol
i feel like i could go into more detail about their relationship but That’s Another Story For Another Day
- adrien kinda hates being a vampire (esp a melty one) and hides it from everyone but plagg
- his dad would kill him for being a vampire because then his son wouldn’t be perfect and that’s not good enough
- felix figures out he’s a vampire but doesn’t tell anyone
- felix isn’t a fan of vampires but respects his cousin and keeps his secret
- hiding his wings is so annoying like??? He wraps them around his body and wears a cap all the time is the WORST
- also same thing as lb he can go in the sun for about a minute as chat noir before he begins to melt
- again i can go into more detail about chat noir/ladybug and marinette/adrien but im trying to keep this kinda short
- CHLOE OH GOD chloe is so scared
- don’t get me wrong she still is mean and petty but she’s really scared someone will find out shes a vampire
- and someone does
- BUT ITS ALIX AND SHES ALSO A VAMPIRE LMAO
- alix is super chill with chloe and is like “hey man i know ur a vampire but i am too”
- after this they both end up getting feeling for each other lol
- THEY BE DATING but that’s a secret
- chloe’s mom knows she’s a vampire because she saw her fangs when she was born which is part of the reason she doesn’t like chloe
- in this au audrey never warms up to chloe instead chloe learns to not give a shit about what her mom thinks (with the help of marinette and ladybug) and tells her off before her mom leaves for new york
- her mom still keeps the fact that chloe’s a vampire a secret from everyone tho
- cause outing someone as a vampire is actually so low that even thought like yeah,, not everyone likes vampires but like no one’s gonna like u either bc you outed them on something so personal and something they trusted you with
- sabrina doesn’t care if chloe’s a vampire she still really cares about her
- but sabrina wouldn’t like it if anyone else was a vampire
- also another thing about chloe she tends to act like she hates vampires to avoid detecting from the Vamp Police 
- ig the vamp police is like sabrina’s dad who really hates vampires and actively looks for them (which is part of the reason sabrina isn’t a big fan of vampires either.)
- they’re not called the vamp police it’s just the police but i like saying that
- like i said before alix is Vampire and basically learns who’s a vampire in the class super quickly
- she knows what to look for when someone’s hiding their identity and knows she’s not the only vampire in the class
- she also figures out everyone’s super hero identities (which is why she gets the rabbit miraculous)
- max knows from stats that it’s likely that there's a couple people in the class who are vampires
- KIM DIDN’T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT A VAMPIRE WAS BECAUSE HIS FAMILY THOUGHT IT WOULD SCARE HIM SO THEY NEVER TOLD HIM LMAO
- max had to teach him (with the help of alix) what a vampire was but it took like an hour
- the only reason kim actually learned something is because his boyfriend told him that if he paid super close attention (after running through the whole presentation like 3 times) he would give him a smooch
- after that kim grew a big brain and learned everything
- both of their parents and ondine would be super accepting if they were vampires tho
- but they’re both human
- also a little more lore its not biological if you’re a vampire or not it’s purely chance
- Its kinda like being born lgbt ig
- ALSO EVERYONE IS SOME FORM OF LGBT but i have my own hc for that
- lgbt vampires are incredibly oppressed like they can’t go out into the street *pensive*
- ANYWAYS juleka is a melty vampire and rose is a human
- rose’s family is super into hunting vampires 
- rose invited her gf over for a family dinner and the whole time they talked about killing vampires
- juleka doesn’t hate being a vampire and thinks it’s really cool
- SO SHE DRESSES LIKE A VAMPIRE???
- rose had marinette design juleka a sun hat similar to hers because juleka kept forgetting she melts in the sun and went out in it more times then she should’ve
- juleka’s a little bit more outgoing in this au and drops hints that she’s a vampire because she thinks it’s Epic
- rose has to remind her that not everyone thinks it’s epic
- nathaniel is really passionate about vampires and wants to learn more about them
- HE POPPED OFF HARD WHEN HE LEARNED HIS BOYFRIEND’S A VAMPIRE
- nathaniel is so supportive of marc it’s rlly cute
- he has to stop himself from mentioning his bf’s a vampire bc he remembers not everyone thinks it’s as cool as he does
- marc loves that nathaniel is so supportive
- when he first saw nathaniel drawing the class of vampires he just went “fuck he’s the one”
- 100% nathaniel draws marc looking super vampire during class
- i’m just now thinking of akuma’s but like here’s kinda how it would work
- They’re basically the same as they were before (being all evil and shit,, basically the same powers) but i think there would be some story changes??
- lady wifi would be less concerned with lb’s identity and more with if she’s a vampire or not because the cause of her akuma would be her theorizing if lb’s a vamp or not
- causing chloe to make fun of her and say stuff like “cool people can’t be vampires they’re stupid and serve no purpose in life”
- lady wifi doesn’t manage to rip of either lb’s mask for her fake teeth because the costume change also adds fake human teeth to replace the real ones (and you can’t take them off like the mask)
- but lady wifi doesn’t know this so she assumes lb’s not a vampire which she’s disappointed with but alya doesn’t remember this
- BUT the media and chat noir think that she’s not a vampire
- reflekta’s design is a little different but that’s about it
- The change with lady wifi is the only akuma i can think about rn but if i do more headcanons about this i might go more into detail on stuff like that
- CHAT BLANC IS ALSO DIFFERENT
- the build up to the akumatisation is basically the same but adrien realises that lb is marinette and also a melty vampire cause he she’s her melt a little when she leaves the room
- after marinette breaks up with adrien he runs in and transforms 
- after the reveal of adrien’s mom and stuff adrien reveals his wings and tries to kill is dad
- gabriel is disgusted by his son and tells him how disappointed his mother would be
- then chat gets akumatized and stuff
- instead of hitting the moon he’d hit the sun so that he didn’t need to struggle with being a vampire anymore
- he sucks the life out of hawkmoth and claims that he and lb can be together now that there’s no daylight but she says she can live like this which is when he kills her and goes on a murder spree
- then he just sits atop the eiffel tower in complete darkness until past lb shows up with bunnyx and she fixes everything
- his motives are more about disappointing his mother this time and being ashamed about being a vampire
- and also that his wish would be to make it so nobody is a vampire so people wouldn't have to feel ashamed about their identity and hide it all the time
- lb teaches him to love himself and his identity as a vampire and how proud his mother would’ve been of him
- ok enough about chat blanc 
- lila is a human and she acts like she loves vampires 
- but she actually hates them
- she’s super touchy with adrien and he’s even more uncomfortable now cause he knows she’s lying and would hate him when she found his wings
- all the vampires have seen this act before and tell their s/o’s so basically everyone’s against lila except for like maybe sabrina
- no one thinks she’s cool because i hate her
- she still lies about going on rides with prince ali and other stuff 
- WOULD TOTALLY OUT SOMEONE AS A VAMPIRE
- absolute jerk
- her family is known for hunting vampires but she claims she’s different
- ok but ivan is just a sweet vampire trying to keep his identity a secret and mylene is just his support human gf who loves him just the way he is
- ivan doesn’t hate being a vampire but also doesn’t like it cause he’s worried that everyone will say stuff like “i bet you’re a vampire” “you’re a villain and you’re cruel, just like vampires” and other stupid stuff
- he is just a soft man
- MYLENE DEFENDS HIM WITH HER LIFE
- mylene thinks him being a vampire is super cool!!
- they kiss a lot and ivan is worried he’ll bite her but she’s ok with it
- sometimes ivan wishes he was a melty vampire so he could wrap his wings around mylene to cuddle her and stuff
- they are v cute valid couple
- gabriel knows nathalie is a vampire and she knows he knows but neither of them make comments on it
- nathalie does really like vampires and doesnt mind being one herself
- she knows adrien’s a vampire and helps him hide it
- his father likes to know everything about adrien so he tried leaving cups with blood in them in his room to see if he would drink them
- and if he did cause he didn’t know his father was testing him nathalie would just refill them
- she starts keeping blood around the house and gabriel assumes it’s just for her cause he isn’t educated and doesn’t know the difference between rare vamps and the common vamps
- but it’s for adrien
- ALSO LIKE LAST ONE BUT one time lb and chat went out at night to hunt for blood cause they were thirsty but they ran into each other and it was rlly awkward
- but they’re both rlly oblivious and convince each other that they were out for a nightly stroll cause they couldnt sleep

Thoughts on MLB
First things first- we all have our opinions on the show. Some hate it, some like it, some are disappointed- ME.
I’m disappointed in the show because of a lot of things that happened in the last half of season two and season three. I’ll talk about it broadly here because I need to sort my thoughts properly but these are the b a s i c and m a i n things that disappointed me.
You can skip this post if you actually like to continue looking at MLB with rose tinted glasses and I’m not forcing you to read it but yeah. If you have anything to express, or if you want to defend against some points- I’m open to those as long as they’re polite. I don’t h a t e Miraculous Ladybug, it’s a good show and has a lot of potential- I just feel like it could’ve been better.
1.) The formula of the show is just repetitive now. It’s been- what, three seasons already. Usually by the third season there’ll be some development. Sometimes even by the middle or end of the second season but right now everything seems to be the s a m e.
2.) MARINETTE- What happened to her? The first season I can excuse her character cause we just newly met her. Second season was kinda fine and I could see a fair bit of development. THIRD SEASON?? HAHHAHA DEVELOPMENT WHERE YOU AT? She seems to just get creepier and stalkier the longer we see her. Not only that but her character continues to be increasingly annoying. Like, she can c l e a r l y talk to Adrien normally then she turns a 180 and she’s back to square one.
3.) Adrien, my child- where is y o u r character? To m e, he seems like a doormat almost. He’s ju s t th e r e most of the times. I’m not talking about Chat Noir but  A D R I E N. He’s so... conflicted and never settling on o n e thing. Like, my boy- choose and please stop being a kind piece of shit.
4.) The miraculous, just what is going on here? The Ladybug and Black Cat miraculouses are supposed to be this oh so powerful piece of jewelry that can bring upon the destruction of the whole world. Yet. Y E T- we have miraculouses that can literally send you anywhere in the whole world- thaT CAN TRAVEL BACK IN TIME BUNNYX IM LOOKING AT YOU FUCK-
5.) Hawkmoth, why the fuck are you not making a move yet? Yes, he’s been making akumas but he should’ve won b y n o w. Trial and error people-
6.) MAYURA IS JUST A CHEAP COP OUT OF HAWKMOTH’S POWER PLEASE, WHAT IS WR O NG  WITH THE MIRACULOUSES HERE???
7.) I don’t like Master Fu’s origin story. We were all hyped up to how Hawkmoth got his miraculous or how Fu lost it. Then we got Feast. Which, honestly? I didn’t like the story of how Fu handled everything. Actually, I don’t like the origins of the miraculous it’s stupid.So much potential but now it’s reduced to t h i s.
8.) What happened to Hawkmoth- no- Gabriel’s character? It’s switching between caring yet distant father to villainous father who doesn’t give a shit. What happened to the Gabriel that begged Adrien to transform just for the sake of not dying- What happened to the Gabriel who almost wanted to tell Adrien his long time secret of being Hawkmoth? Oh yeah, he went flying out the window the same time Chat Noir did in Chat Blanc. It’s like they’re alternating between a true evil villain and a sympathetic villain.
9.) WHY ARE THEY JUST GIVING THE MIRACULOUSES OUT LIKE CANDY? NOT TO MENTION TO FUCKING CHILDREN? I understand Marinette and Adrien getting the miraculous. Alya was also fine, same with Nino. Chloe was an accident but it was nice- for a while- but that’s it. Then, thEN THEY COTINUED GIVING IT?? LIKE?? Why can’t you just use it yourself?? Or fuse it cause that’s a thing apparently. 
10.) WHAT HAPPENED TO CHLOE’S DEVELOPMENTTTTTTT LIKE FUCK I WAS WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I WANT E D IT TO HAPPEN. BUT WHAT DO I GET? I GET A CHLOE WHO THROWS EVERYTHING OUT THE WINDOW AND JOINS HAWKMOTH LIKE FUCKING H E L L. We already have Lila who’s the mean bitch and Hawkmoth’s little proxy, do we really need Chloe to stay the same? Like- LEgi t, Zombizou was the beginning to what looked like a compelling redemption arc but no, she went b a ck.

THOUGHT/SPECULATION TIME!
Tumblr media
Alright I’m not even gonna lie, I don’t care too much for the return of villains we already saw.
I just don’t, but screw it, I’ll watch anyway. (I’m only curious as to HOW and WHY the writers have chosen to bring back these specific characters with the whole running out of ideas thing set aside.)
Now onto some ideas or thoughts I have on what we may or may not be seeing from these sypnopsis on the episodes I’m REALLY looking forward to:
Silence: What could have possibly gotten Luka so upset that he gets akumatized? Could be he plays well but can’t sing and it bugs him he can’t translate it into his music? I’m honestly clueless on this one, but none the less, I look forward to what we’ll see here. I also agree with the Úrsula references I’ve seen so far lol
Oni-Chan: . . . Okay, I’m sure there’s GOTTA be more than just Kagami getting jealous of Lila. For crying out loud, from Frozer, homegirl thinks Marinette and Adrien are crushing on each other. Yet instead of getting all jealous, Kagami gave Marinette a tough love push while also letting her know she isn’t giving up. So for her to be so affected by Lila? . . . There’s just more there we may see. Also Kagami could most likely snap Lila like twig, let’s be real here. thank u, next
Miraculeur: You go Sabri—I mean, I’m just happy that we hopefully get to see her akumatization. One that has an entire episode and likely requires the entire Miraculous Squad to take on.
Oblivio: ooo. OOOOOOHHH!!!! First I just gotta say how that sounds like “Oblivious” because LB and CN just are, and the potential in interaction between our two heroes we’re looking at here. A hinted reveal where when they return to normal, they forget? Too good to be real, but anything is up for debate rn. Let me dream.
Festin: Just. . . This feels like this episode is going to be BIG. It could either be the Kwami swap, an episode where they use the lesser miraculous (Mulmousse and Aspik come thru) OR . . . an episode where we see them try to save Paris as themselves? No superpowers. . . Either way, looking forward to it.
Stormy Weather 2: Aurore slaps. NEXT
Ikari Gozen: I’m hoping this episode highlights a closesness between LB/Marinette and Kagami. The only reason why Kagami is her “best enemy” is because she’s the only real match she has. Chloé is slowly changing and Lila is a whole force, but Adrien doesn’t like either of them. Kagami however, is bold, brave, and mirrors a few LB qualities when out aside that Mari is reluctant and Kagami isn’t. She’s also not rude to Marinette. So yeah, there’s potential for Marigami (friendship wise, chill) here. We’ll see what happens.
Timetagger: Villain from the future? How far into the future? Are we talking a few minutes? A year? Maybe, dare I say . . . A couple years?? There’s a lot of Adult LB and CN potential here. But if will we see it, who knows
Chat Blanc: Has it ever occurred to you guys that Chat Noir could be getting akumatized because he found out something he didn’t want to open his eyes to in regards to his father? Adrien’s whole backstory speaks “cliche-villain”, after all. Maybe he failed LB on a mission and can’t seem to let it go. He’s been doubting himself in S2 a few times already. I just don’t think CN’s problems are always gonna be about LB rejecting CN. But go off, there, I guess.
Felix: It’s nice Felix was released from the Quantic void. I don’t really know if he’ll remain a mean boy or just appear mean because of the family name or whatever, but let’s see where this goes. I am curious as to why Alya, Rose and Juleka are specifically a trio here. . . Does this mean we may see Bridgette again?
Ladybug: I already spoke my idea in possibilities with this one, seeing as Mayura is behind this, here’s my new thoughts: So we could be looking at Marinette finally being burdened with her duties as LB so much that she’s now expelled. This could be, how as a few mentioned, Mayura creates a LB imposter. Or maybe a coincidence happens that just, you know, timing??? Could it be this is also the episode where that famous render of LB in Gabriel’s underground garden is from? Maybe this is where the mouse Miraculous appears (doubt this tho)? There’s more here than meets the eye not just Lila and we’re on for an interesting episode here.
The Battle of the Miraculous Pt 1 and 2: It’s interesting how HM keeps targeting the Bougouis family. Specially now that Chloè, is publicly known as Queen Bee. A few ppl think it’s because Chloè is still mean or something (and it could be partially true), but I think it’s because HM knows she has a connection to a miraculous, and therefore, he’s gonna keep finding ways to bring her to his side. Cause if he does, then he can get LB and CN.
Okay! That’s about what all I think for the episodes that interest me lol. What do you guys think?
