I Forgot That You Existed

Marinette Dupain-Cheng had left Paris as soon as she could. Once Hawkmoth had been defeated and collège was over, she had said goodbye to the city she had once protected and left for University in the United States.

It hadn’t been an easy decision but it had been the right one. Being forced into becoming a child superhero and protecting an entire city at such a young age was bound to leave her with at least some ill will towards Paris. Of course, there was also the issue of Adrien Agreste.

Adrien, sweet perfect Adrien Agreste. Once she’d been head over heels in love with him, or so she’d believed. In reality it had been an extremely unhealthy obsession that had led to the decline of her mental health as she was willing to do anything in order to get him to like her back. Including, but not limited to, stealing his phone, dressing up as a waiter to gain access to his house and stalking him whenever he was around another girl.

When she’d sat down and realised what she had become, Marinette’s first course of action was to spend as little time around him as possible. And thus moving as far away as possible. Gotham was pretty far away from Paris, right?

All in all the move, although to the most crime infested city in the world, had been the right thing for her and her life. She didn’t regret it at all.

Now she had an amazing husband who she loved more than anything (in a completely healthy way), and a whole other crazy family that came with Jason. She, of course, kept in touch with her own family but the Waynes were also her family now.

She tried her best to attend her weekly therapy lessons because they were a godsend, but sometimes the crime in Gotham just didn’t allow it. Yes, she had chosen to fight crime again. But that was the important part. She chose to fight crime again with Jason’s family, their family.

Although she didn’t use the miraculous anymore, just watch over them, she had chosen the moniker Ladybird to make a nod to her past hero identity.

And although this had all been a hugely positive thing for Marinette, she hadn’t been expecting the identity crisis the first time she saw Adrien Agreste in over five years. Adrien Agreste and his wife, an overly blonde model just like him.

“Marinette,” he cried happily as he came over to her at the latest Wayne Gala. “It’s been so long. I’ve missed you.”

She nodded politely at him. “Adrien. I take it this must be your wife? It’s nice to meet you Mrs Agreste.”

“Please, just call me Sophie,” the woman insisted.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you Sophie. I’m Marinette. I went to school with Adrien.”

And as the night went on nothing happened. She didn’t feel drawn to Adrien, didn’t hate him, didn’t want to avoid him, didn’t want to profess her love to him. Nothing. Neutral. Nice

When the night was over, and the guests were gone, the first thing Jason did was check on his wife. “Are you okay? I know that couldn’t have been easy for you.”

“It wasn’t easy,” she admitted. “But I think it went okay. I can’t ever see us being friends, but I don’t think there’s any issues there anymore.”

“That’s great,” he replied with a grin, happy to support the woman he loved in any possible way. “It means that you’ve completely moved on from that moment of time mentally. I’m so proud of you!”

Marinette cuddled up into him. “Thank you,” she whispered. “Thank you for supporting me. Thank you so much. You mean the world to be.”

“And you mean the world to me too, Pixie. I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:

Free Palestine, Free Sudan, Free Congo 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them?#“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years.#thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me.#idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

Highlights from the conference room where they nominated contenders for Word of the Year 2023:

• They put Skibidi Toilet on the projector to explain what “skibidi” means.

• Baby Gronk was mentioned.

• We discussed the Rizzler.

• “Cunty” was nominated.

• “Enshittification” was suggested for EVERY category.

• “Blue Check” (like from Twitter) was briefly defined as “Someone who will not Shut The Fuck Up”

• The person writing notes briefly defined babygirl as “referencing [The Speaker]”. He is now being called babygirl in the linguist groupchats.

• MULTIPLE people raised their hand to say “I cannot stress this enough: ‘Babygirl’ refers to a GROWN MAN”

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

#anyway it’s still a couple years away #but man im so fucking excited for my 30s!!!!!!!!!#i made it!!!#i survived!!!#so many people never got the opportunity to be 30 #im gonna enjoy every fucking second of it!#sulley speaks #sorry my coworker said something really rude to me lol #it struck a nerve
