Okay so what if Ladybugs identity wasn’t revealed to a main character first?

This is head canon btw that i think has a lot of potential.

Basically the idea is what if Ladybugs identity as Marinette is revealed to a less prominent character (basically not Chat Noir/Adrien, Alya, or any of the people in her inner circle). What if it was... Jagged Stone?

Picture this:

Jagged is just chilling out in a back alleyway for a break because his manager is really getting on his nerves when an akuma attack starts

He’s in a kinda hidden spot so at first glance the alley look empty and Marinette is like “oh perfect place to transform!”

Insert the whole Ladybug transformation here

So Jagged is just standing there like “WHAT? this spunky little designer is mf L A D Y B U G??!”

And proceeds to freak out in this alley until Ladybug comes back and detranforms, she looks around and oh shit

Marinette sees Jagged Stone just staring at her slack-jawed and she starts freaking out because nobody’s supposed to know even Chat doesn’t know, what is she supposed to do?

So they have a little talk about this being really secret, Jagged being the only one who knows, and how this could put him in danger if Hawkmoth suspects they know each other

Jagged totally understands he’s like “cool Marinette, i got you don’t even worry about it.” and immediately lets it slip to Penny

Luckily she’s the only one there so now the two people who know Ladybugs identity are Jagged Stone and Penny

I picture the Jagged and Marinette would get really close and he would help her out with Ladybug excuses. I think that he would turn into her bonus dad and Penny would be her bonus mom. Here are some helpful and sweet high jinks that would ensue:

Jagged and Marinette having little code words that they text to each other so that Marinette can basically say “call me I need an excuse to leave whatever i’m doing.”

Penny and Jagged getting super worried about Marinette staying healthy

Little family dinners at Jagged’s mansion or the Dupian-Cheng bakery

Marinette’s parents being really confused as to why their daughter just basically got adopted by Jagged Stone but welcoming him into the family none the less.

Basically Jagged and Penny talk to Tom and Sabine about how awesome Marinette is, the four adults get really close and are best friends (don’t fight me on this).

If Jagged is in the area he let’s Marinette transform in his limo or he’d just shelter her

Letting her know that projects she’s working on for him are due before he actually needs them so that if Ladybug stuff gets in the way he just lets her have more time

Being really concerned about the amount of sleep she’s getting

Letting her rant to him about school problems (cough cough Lila) because now she can tell someone why she knows for sure that Lila is lying

I feel like there is also good opportunities for revealing Lila with this head cannon.

Just picture:

Maybe there’s an assignment like show what a person who is close to you does in a day or interview a person you look up to so you can learn about their culture and life and then present to the class

Everyone is like “Lila you have so many cool people to choose from! You know so many celebrities, so who are you gonna interview?”

Marinette already knows that she is going to interview either Jagged Stone or Penny when Lila says, “why Jagged Stone of course! I could probably even get him to come into the class, but i’m not sure it might be too short notice.”

Marinette is just sitting here like: “I’m going to ruin this mans whole career.”

The day comes and Jagged Stone is in class! (Marinette decided to interview Penny and Jagged came to support Penny because she works so hard and he wants to be there when Marinette shares how awesome Penny is).

Jagged Spots Lila and glares at her, while Lila is like “shit!” everyone else is excited because Lila actually got Jagged Stone to come!

Now Lila’s plan was to say he couldn’t come and instead they did a video interview (you had to bring the person into class). Lila has edited clips together of his old interviews to make it seem like she was the one taking to him. But now Jagged was there, in person.

Lila presents right before Marinette, she probably says something like, “I didn’t know Jagged would make it so here was our video interview.” Everyone is like wow Lila so thoughtful so prepared but then Marinette goes...

And you can picture it, Jagged walks up to the front with her and Penny. Marinette does her presentation exactly how she planned it, just talking about Penny what she does for Jagged and what her life is like. Everyone is speechless

At the very end Jagged is like, “just a side note but i have never owned a kitten and i just met this Ms. Rossi today.” before sassy walking out of the classroom.

People lose their shit

I assume someone gets akumatized

Jagged covers for Marinette and so on

One more thing! Sorry this is so long. But this could also be great angst for Ladynoir. Chat gets really hurt because he finds out and thinks that Ladybug told mf Jagged Stone before him, her partner. Angst happens but then happy ending. Okay that’s it, I might add more to this idea later or I could try to make it but with another side character.

a few weeks back i looked up the source of “we deserve a soft epilogue, my love” because it’s such a lovely, evocative line and i wanted to know the name of the poet who wrote it and it was. from captain america fanfiction.

Young Royals Parallels #4 - Kan vi snacka?

welcome to a series where I analyse the living daylights out of this show

Now, unless Netflix has done my (pitifully monolingual) self a disservice, this translates to “Can we talk?”.  And boy, can we talk. There’s been a bit of discussion already about how Simon and Wilhelm’s relationship is so refreshing to watch because of the healthy level of communication between the two. This is excellent writing by an excellent team throughout the entire series, creating a story arc that is realistic and nuanced, with miscommunication not employed for cheap drama. However, I want to talk specifically about the two times Wilhelm uses the exact words “Kan vi snacka?”. Stay with me -

–

The first time we see this play out it’s over text in episode 3, as Wilhelm wants to chat to Simon about their slumber party plans after parent’s lunch:

These three words precede the honest conversation about how Wille has heard August’s plans to stay at school over the weekend and, to keep their little burgeoning I-want-to-hang-out-with-you situation a secret, asks Simon if he can stay at his place instead. First off, this is a brilliant example of not taking the obvious story route, where Wille and Simon stay at school unaware August is there, and August finds out about them that way, potentially using this information in a blackmail fashion - as is seen all too often; the weaponisation of queer relationships in this way. (Keep in mind at this moment the audience is unaware of the events that will follow to close out episode 3, so for most of us I’d bet that stereotypical setup was the prevalent expectation.)

However, what makes this scene so intriguing is when you realise where they are - at the windowsill where their first kiss took place in episode 2. We actually get almost the exact same sequence in both scenes (though the frame is tighter in episode 2 - greater level of intimacy/secrecy?) of Wilhelm alone at the window, and Simon walking into frame to meet him.

(episode 2)

(episode 3)

Most significantly for this parallel though, is that this is the first place Wilhelm tried (and failed spectacularly) to articulate anything of significance to Simon. “I’m not… sorry. I’m not… Wait!” is all we get out of Wilhelm in that scene. He’s trying so hard to tell Simon something, using his words, and he just… can’t. He resorts to carefully kissing Simon back in that moment (which is definitely appropriate and what the situation called for, I’m not trying to say the episode 2 scene was wrong in any way, it was simply not a conversation). It’s also important to note the words we do get out of him aren’t in support of pursuing Simon at all, it seems to be a defense of compulsory heteronormativity. 

The contrast between these two interactions at the windowsill is astronomical. By the time we get to the end of episode 3, Wilhelm’s had some time to think, time to process, time to work out what he wants, time to be okay with his wanting. We’re getting full sentences from him! About his regard for Simon (and Simon’s family) and wanting to be involved with the people closest to him! He’s communicating his wants and needs! Which signifies he’s now comfortable with what he wants, and what he wants is hang time with his wittle cwush Simon. Ugh I just love how it’s the same place, it’s brilliant.

–

Now onto the second time we hear the words, this time actually spoken, in episode 5. This is the scene directly after August reveals to Wilhelm that Simon’s the one that provided the drugs. Wilhelm asks Simon to chat; to tell him about Alexander being caught, to ask him about the pills. (Side note: I love this brilliant moment from Omar here, look at how fast Simon’s smile falls away when he gets a good look at Wille’s face. He’s all dimpled ‘my boy wants me’, and then 0.2 seconds later is a furrowed brow and ‘oh no, my boy needs me’.)

This conversation is another example of how this show did not take the easy way out in terms of a plot complication device formed from miscommunication. As soon as we hear August tell Wille about Simon’s role in their illicit activities, an audience raised on stereotypical (generally US) teen dramas would be thinking that Wille’s going to be annoyed with Simon immediately, perhaps take action to spite him, or blow up at him publicly. Or alternatively that this will fester as an unresolved issue and be brought up as an argument later in their relationship. The show does neither of these things, it says to us “Can we talk?” and proceeds to smash all of our expectations to smithereens.

Wilhelm asks point blank what’s happened. Simon is open and completely honest, hard as that must have been. Wilhelm relays exactly the conversation that happened in the little Society meeting. From there the conversation devolves into a… heated discussion - there’s tension, they don’t agree. This is one of the first times, in a conversation between only the two of them, that their class divide hovers like an elephant in the room (as opposed to earlier on, when it’s been other people - August, etc. - pointing out their differences in station). I may be mistaken, but I also believe this is the first time Simon calls Wille ‘Prince’ to his face; which is big, huge, in the narrative of their relationship. Wilhelm was not, in his mind, Simon’s ‘Prince’ before now. Wilhelm likes Simon’s socialist talk in theory, but in this scene he butts up against the fact that he isn’t completely separated from the vaguely anti-monarchist rhetoric of Simon’s. Simon doesn’t dislike the monarchy but likes Wilhelm, Simon dislikes the monarchy and likes Wilhelm. There’s a distinct difference, as with Erik’s death, Wilhelm is now the sole future of the monarchy. What a cross to bear.

And once again, look at where Wilhelm takes him to have this conversation; remember the “Simon. Don’t you know how to read sheet music?” scene? The conversation in episode 5 takes place in the school music room, which we first became acquainted with when Simon tried to talk about their kiss at the beginning of episode 3.

(episode 3)

(episode 5)

We can draw similar parallels here as above - in episode 3, Wilhelm is not really talking to Simon yet. It’s “Because I did say, you know, that I’m not…”, compared to the more developed, mature and nuanced conversation happening in episode 5.

However, the biggest difference here is Simon’s response to a disagreement with Wilhelm. In episode 3, Wille asks if they can forget about the kiss, and Simon nods. He says yes, he says that he gets it. When Wilhelm asks if he’s sure, he says “That’s fine.” (spoiler alert, it’s not fine). At this point the stakes are lower, Simon’s not sure Wilhelm’s in this, he’s not sure what he can ask for. He obviously does not understand in the slightest and is not okay with how Wilhelm is brushing him off, but he says it’s fine and walks away from the conversation.

Contrast this with Simon’s position in the conversation in episode 5, where he stands his ground. He knows now that Wilhelm wants this, wants him. He questions Wilhelm’s assumptions. When Wille talks about his family’s reputation, Simon asks but what about him and his family? Simon’s under the assumption there’s the start of an “us”, that they’re on the same rung of the ladder, and rightfully questions when Wilhelm makes statements contrary to what Simon believed was a shared understanding of their situation. Simon walks out of this conversation too, mind. (Foreshadowing his leaving the relationship stranded?) But we have growth! Development! Communication!

–

So basically, our two “Kan vi snacka?” moments are two (of many) building blocks laying the open and honest communication foundation for Simon and Wilhelm in their relationship. The two scenes they parallel back to are where Wilhelm begins “I’m not…” and then finishes “…not like that, you know?”, and to have him then open up to Simon in the way that we have seen is such good character development; similarly, to have Simon now stating his reality, his significance, his wants and needs when faced with Wilhelm’s frustration and anxiety is such good character development.

me, lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling: i can’t believe kent parson still thinks jack zimmermann is his fucking soulmate. after like, what?? 6 years after they broke up, kent literally randomly shows up at samwell and tries to win jack back and get him to join the aces so they can play together again because he’s so fucking certain that that’s the way they’re destined to be, jack and parse, zimms and kenny, a fucking force on the ice, like they were all those years ago. it’s been more than half a decade and he’s still convinced that they’re meant to end up together, that’s literally fucking tragic. that’s so fucked up. listen,,, how fucked up is that
