Ok Ok, But Hear Me Out

Reminders for the ML Fandom

The kids in this show are currently 14-15 years old.

This show’s target audience are children who are younger than the characters. So, not you, not me, not any user that should be using tumblr.

There are MULTIPLE seasons left. Stop acting as if the show ends at the end of this season whenever something happens.

Writing isn’t bad just because you have a problem with something that a character says or does.

Marinette and Adrien are Yin and Yang, and as Master Fu has even said, “they’re made for each other”. Which means endgame. It’s been foreshadowed since S1, how can you possibly think otherwise?

Take a breath. If the show itself is continuing to cause you so much stress and salt (two things that are really bad for your health) then maybe it’s time to take a step back from it.

You remember what it’s like being a teenager, right? As a teen, we would do dumb stuff. We were nervous and scared and anxious around our crushes and the thought of them knowing how we feel is, like, the scariest thing in the world. Most likely you’re an adult now and you don’t feel this way, or at least much, anymore. So you’re projecting your current self onto the characters and expecting them to react how you would. But they’re not you! They’re like 14 year old you. Not that much time should’ve passed that you can’t remember yourself, or your friends, or your siblings and how you or they were like at that age. That being said, kids are supposed to be relating and learning from this. Stop acting like its existence is to please you specifically, because it’s not. Whenever an event happens, like Chat finding out Ladybug loves someone else, or Marinette finding out Adrien loves someone else, or Luka/Kagami coming into the picture, everyone loses their minds and starts assuming the worst and voicing those opinions and feelings like it’s fact. This is a multi-season show that could very well have more seasons than even the creators themselves know about at this point in time. When have you ever watched a multi-season show where what was going on in the beginning is still is mega prevalent and really the only thing going at the end? Relax, there’s plenty of time for things to be worked out and for new issues to arise. Marinette or Adrien could tell the other one that they hate their guts and I can guarantee that they would be feeling just about the opposite by the end of this show. A lot can change in a short amount of time! I mean, have you ever watched an Asian drama? So you don’t like that Alya didn’t stick up for Marinette in Chameleon and ignored her claim about Lila because she thought she was being jealous, or that Kagami isn’t what you envisioned in your mind after seeing her briefly in Riposte, or that Marinette’s always had the tendency to be obsessive about Adrien and do crazy and embarrassing things when it comes to him too. I totally get all that. Having a preconceived notion about a character that’s just been introduced to be wrong when you start actually getting to know them, or you’ve only seen part of what they’re like and they do something you don’t like, is no reason to claim bad writing. I’ve seen bad writing from shows from all over the world my entire life, and this isn’t it. You know the ones, the ones that make you just want to hit your head on something to put yourself out of your misery when the characters have a conversation for five minutes. If this show’s writing was so bad like tumblr users like to keep saying, it wouldn’t be mega popular like it is to the point where a majority of people have at least heard of or seen something from the show. There’s always room for improvement, of course, but not agreeing with some things doesn’t equal bad writing.

Yin and Yang. Extremely obvious that they’re both alike and very different at the same time, that they compliment each other both when they’re around one another, and also when they’re not, but going through similar things at around the same time. The parallels emphasize this all the time. This is a story about characters growing up, learning, changing, and experiencing life - with the add-on responsibility of saving Paris (and later, the rest of the world) from danger. We’d have no story if by season 2, Marinette and Adrien were dating and everything went happily for the rest of the show. That’s not how life works. One mishap, one misunderstanding, one new crush, that’s not going to change the outcome of these two but in a more natural and positive way. I honestly don’t understand why anyone who no longer finds joy in something would continue sticking to it, if that applies to some users who find the need to post constant salt. It’s okay to be frustrated at times, but it’s not if it’s a common thing. That’s just unhealthy. You may say you have the right to post it, but people also have the right to ask you not to, as this is a community that’s dedicated to the love for something. Because while you may not like the show, or be able to stand how it’s progressing anymore, there are a lot of us that still do, and always will, and all the salt just brings everybody down. We would like to share our thoughts and feelings about what the show is - not always have to read salt about what it isn’t.

I wish more people knew how affected our emotions and emotional responses are by ADHD. Everyone will experience their ADHD differently, so feel free to cross out what applies to you! I’ve only recently started externalizing emotions again and..it’s crazy how much energy I put into holding it all back - without great success. Here’s my patreon! (is this a smooth topic change?)

oops my hand slipped and made a whole one shot about this that somehow got angsty

Hawkmoth smacked his cane down in anger, as he watched his son call Marinette just a friend once more. He whacked his face with his hand, sighing at Adrien's obliviousness. He pitied the poor girl as her face put on a fake smile, when she was clearly heart broken because he couldn't see she loved him. There was nothing he could do, sadly, for he didn't want to akumatize her, since she would go after Adrien, therefore endangering him. So, he rubbed his chin while he was lost in thought. Then the idea hit him. If his ship wouldn't work in the real world, why not the fiction world?

“Nooroo, dark wings fall!” he shouted, his suit disappearing to be replaced with his civilian attire. He seemed eager for an odd reason, which made Nooroo tilt his head to the right slightly in confusion.

“Master, why are you so excited?” he asked innocently, his small, frail voice breaking the silence in the room. Gabriel looked at Nooroo, a smirk on his lips. The kwami felt uneasy, worrying for his owner's sanity.

“I am going to write fanfiction!” he declared loudly, making Nooroo jump at the booming noise. Gabriel walked to the elevator, as his kwami flew to his side as they ascended. Natalie was there, a tablet in her hand.

“Natalie, when Adrien gets home, tell him to come to my office,” he says dismissively, and heads to his office. He settles himself into his seat, and cracked his fingers in preparation for the typing that was about to ensue.

‘Adrien walked into the classroom, his eyes immediately darting to Marinette,’ was the first sentence he wrote. The rush he felt was invigorating. This was his world. Anything could happen. He chuckled evilily, continuing the writing. The clicking of the keys as his fingers swiftly tapped them, forming his wonderful story.

Adrien poked his head through the doorway cautiously. He was afraid he had stepped in at the wrong time, for he looked so busy as he clattered away. His suspicions were proven wrong, when his father had spoken.

“Adrien! My son!” he said, a strange energetic beat in his usually cold tone. Adrien raised an eyebrow, his green eyes studying him carefully. He looked a lot more happy and upbeat. “Come have a seat,” he invited, gesturing to the chairs in front of his desk.

“What did you need, father?” he was fiddling with his ring anxiously. Had he done something wrong? No, because he wouldn't be so.. weird if he had.

“I need you to stop calling Marinette ‘just a friend!’ It's ruining my ship!” he cried out, slamming his fist on the desk in a sudden burst of rage. Adrien was wondering if his father was okay. How did he know he called Marinette that? What was a ship?

“Father, what do you mean?” He was genuinely scared for his father's mental state. He knew he was messed up after his mother left, but not this bad! Was he going insane? Gabriel just folded his hands together cynically.

“I mean that you should realize you love her, and she loves you! So my shop can be canon!” he explained, and Adrien looked at Natalie, who was standing by the door, for help. Natalie simply shrugged. He was blushing furiously, his skin turning red. This caused Gabriel to smirk at him, mischief dancing in his eyes. Natalie was just a bystander. Who was trying not to yell at her boss for not seeing she loved him. Like father, like son.

“M..Marinette's just a f..friend!” he stammered nervously, squirming under his burning gaze. Then he placed his face into his hands, while holding back screams.

“Haha.. There's that famous line!” he laughed hysterically. Adrien wanted to get out of here. He felt Plagg pinch him. Plagg was with Gabriel. His chosen was so blind, just like everyone else. But this man was an exception. He knew how painful it was to watch them, all the awkwardness, flirting, and just plain idiocy. Until he realized, how did he know? Oh well, he was just glad someone agreed with him. He had to stop himself from phasing through his jacket and start ranting along with him.

“Son, you love her,” he got up out of his seat and wandered to Adrien's side. He placed his hands on his shoulders. “You have to see it!” he yelled, shaking him. “Please! I need Adrienette to be canon!”

“Um.. haha.. oh, beep beep! My miracu- I mean phone is ringing someone must be calling me!” he said flustered, as he ran out of the room. His father noticed the slip up, and the realization dawned on him. HE WAS CAT NOIR!!!! This made it all the more complicated. He loved Ladybug! But, this means Ladrien and Marichat and Ladynoir!! He squealed in delight, and started dancing in his office. Natalie could barely believe she loved this man.

“Sir, please calm down!” she received a crazed look from Gabriel as he ran out the room. She sighed, and pushed her glasses up.

“ADRIENETTE! LADRIEN! MARICHAT! LADYNOIR!” he shouted, then saw the flaw in his chanting. He didn't know who Ladybug was! Marinette and Ladybug were competing! He couldn't have that! So he decided to set out to reveal her identity.

He was standing in his hideout once more, as he was watching his akuma do its work. It was harmless, to avoid hurting Cat Noir, but it was agile and could get the miraculouses or reveal Ladybug's identity! Then the akuma threw Cat Noir far away. (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN I CLEARLY STATED NOT TO HURT HIM) The akuma also managed to grab one her earrings. Her transformation was fading, the pink light appearing as her suit dissipated. He caught a glimpse of her face without the mask, and gasped dramatically. It was Marinette! Yes! Now all his ships were canon!! He was jumping around in joy. He didn't care about the miraculous anymore. He made him drop it and revoked the akuma. Now that his ship was canon, he had decided to quit evil, for the sake of his son and his future daughter in law.

Ladybug was panicking as she lost one earring, but she got a grip on herself, and swung the yo-yo at the akuma. She was able to stop it before it hit them, because they were already de evilized. She was dazed, after losing one part of the miraculous and now the akuma was gone. She didn't even see Cat Noir come up.

“Oh my goodness.. Marinette?!” he screamed, for he had accidentally seen her face. THE GIRL HE LOVED WAS MARINETTE?!?!? She was brought back to reality when he screamed, and she had forgotten to collect the earring. Her blue eyes widened in shock, and she started running around wildly. She just revealed her identity. NOOOO!!

“M’lady..” he breathed, unable to comprehend what happened. She wasn't any better, if not worse. She quickly grabbed the remaining part of her miraculous in order to hide her face again. She also remembered that THE AKUMA VICTIM WAS STILL HERE!! She picked up the guy, and lowered them down to the ground. She was distraught, but she had a job to do.After, she returned to Cat Noir.

“So, yeah, I am Marinette. Surprise?” she admitted, her brave attitude she had as Ladybug now breaking away to show her Marinette. Now that he knew, he could see the similarities. Her sense of justice, her confidence, her kindness. He saw it all.

“I just can't believe, that the girl who say behind me was you..” he said mindlessly. She stiffened and placed her hands on her heads.

“ADRIEN?!?!” she shrieked, and he placed his hand over his mouth at his mistake. She had reverted back to freaking out.

Hawkmoth was proud. He had finally united the two. He left the lair, a happiness he hadn't felt in a long time in his heart. He was happy his son had finally found his love. He looked to Nooroo.

“Nooroo. Thank you for assisting me. But I will no longer need you for I am giving up being a villain,” the kwami was swelling with pride and happiness. Though Gabriel could be terrible to him, they had unconsciously bonded each time he transformed. He flew away into the brooch, and was placed into the box. He looked at the painting of his wife. “I'm sorry, Emilie.. I love you..” he lowered his head. He missed her so much. But he had to focus on the future. He reached inside for the peacock miraculous.

“Son,” he called to Adrien, who was trying to sneak through the door with Marinette. He stopped in his tracks.

“Oh, h..hey father!” he grinned anxiously. He had been caught. His father had a warm smile upon his face. He went to Marinette, and placed the two boxes in her hands. They were unaware of what he was doing, and they exchange a look of questioning.

“I'm sorry, Adrien. I've been a terrible father. But return this to the guardian,” he said, right before giving him a tight hug. Adrien gasped, tears welling in his viridescent eyes. He returned the embrace, holding him. Marinette was nearly crying too. It was great his father had seen his wrongs. But what did he mean return to the guardian? She took a peek of what was inside.

There was the missing miraculouses. The butterfly and the peacock. “H..Hawkmoth?” she choked out. He nodded, guilt contorting his face. Adrien pulled away, and hurt filled his eyes.

“I understand if you hate me. I just wanted your miraculous to bring your mother back,” he turned to walk away, but Adrien grabbed his arm. Gabriel was afraid he would be angry, but he knew that what he had done was irredeemable.

“Father.. I forgive you,” he said, those words taking him surprise. “Me too,” Marinette added. He never thought they would accept it so well. After all, he had massacred the city so many times. Endangered thousands.

“You do?”

“Of course,” he smiled at him, tears flowing down his cheeks. He was just happy to get his father back. He missed the way he was before his mom was gone. He wanted her back. But he had his father and Marinette. And he was perfectly content with them.

“High school. The arena of teenage angst.”

Hawkmoth

adrien and gabriel

a lot of people want adrien to be more distant to gabriel or whatever with these headcanons, for some adrien angst. i would much rather gabriel try to fix the relationship. while he is neglectful, he can repair it. he loves adrien, and adrien loves gabriel. gabriel can become a better father and person. it doesn't change what he did, but adrien deserves a caring father, and i hope the show will progress their relationship, like they did in gorizilla or something like that.

What I love most about Skyrim (and TES in general) is how, once the surface is at all scratched, you’re confronted with the most buckwild lore in the history of ever. Like, Skyrim’s baseline experience is: you are a person born with the soul of a dragon, which means you can absorb their souls and speak their language. Fair enough! There are two moons! And vampires! Giants herd mammoths across the plains!

But then! Dig a little deeper, and it’s all “yeah, there are two moons, but they aren’t really moons, they’re the corpse of the god who tricked all the other gods into creating the world, and mortals just interpret them as moons”, and “an entire race created technology that runs on souls, and they accidentally erased themselves from existence while trying to become gods, well at least that’s our best guess” and “some dudes replaced their hearts with plants and you can pickpocket the plant-heart right out of their chest” and “here’s a weapon that sometimes turns your enemies into pastries”. 

What a game, you guys. 

Bliss - Ladynoir Fanfic

please enjoy this little fanfic i wrote!

Another day, another feeling of heartache for Marinette. Almost everyday now she would see Adrien and Kagami together, always looking so close. Marinette was starting to think maybe she should get over Adrien. Give someone else a chance. She hated the way she felt everyday, always feeling miserable and jealous and holding back feelings of anger. She didn't hate either of them. It just hurt to see Adrien with another girl. Especially after all the time she'd put into him.

Marinette walked into school, her back slouched over and dark bags under her eyes from crying all night. Alya quickly rushed over to Marinette.

"Hey, girl, what's up? You don't look so good," Alya threw her arm around Marinette, trying to comfort the poor girl.

Marinette had to hold back tears. She felt kind of silly, feeling so upset over a boy.

"Well.. it's about Adrien," Alya's eyebrows perked up in interest. "Basically, going to his fencing matches and seeing him with Kagami.. it just really hurts. I just kinda know that he'll never like me back." A stray tear slipped from her unusually dull eyes, but Marinette quickly wiped the tear away, not wanting Alya to see her cry.

"Oh, Marinette.." Alya pulled her into a tight hug, caressing her carefully as if she was fragile. She pulled away after a few seconds, then put her hands on her shoulder and looking intensely into Marinette's eyes.

"Mari, you don't deserve to be hurt like this. You deserve a guy who will recognize the amazing girl that you are. As nice as Adrien is, he is incredibly dense,"

"But I don't think I can move on so fast.. I really like Adrien. I really do," Marinette sighed.

"I understand, girl. But for now, let's get to class.." Alya put her arm around Mari again, and they walked to class.

-----

When Marinette and Alya took a seat, Nino shared a worried look with Alya. "Dudette, are you good? What's wrong?" Nino whispered.

"It's about Adrien.." Was all Marinette had to say for Nino to understand. Of course Nino would know all about his bro and Kagami. He didn't think that their relationship would affect Mari this much. Luckily Adrien wasn't here yet to hear this exchange.

"Oh dude.. I'm sorry.." Nino sympathized, feeling quite worried about her mental state right now. She didn't look so great.

The conversation had to end soon, as Adrien walked into class just then. Nino gave Marinette one last glance, trying to comfort her, and turned around.

"Hey, Nino," Adrien waved, taking his seat next to him.

"Hey, dude," the two shared a fist bump like they did every morning. Adrien took a look back to see a depressed Marinette.

"Nino, is Marinette okay? What happened?" He leaned close to his bro as to hide what he was saying from the girls behind him.

"Sorry dude.. I don't think I should say.." Nino shrugged and got out his work for class.

Adrien looked at Marinette, confusion filling him. He didn't enjoy such vagueness. Ladybug did this to him sometimes too. He hated it. He was worried about Marinette. She was his friend. Shouldn't he have a right to know?

Marinette could barely look at Adrien. His adorable green eyes filled with worry just hurt her heart even more. She covered her eyes with her bangs, wanting to avoid meeting his gaze. She buried her face into Alya's shoulder, unable to control her tears. Alya held her gently, quietly reassuring her.

Adrien was so confused, worried, and kinda angry that his friends were keeping him out of the loop. He just turned around to focus for class. He hoped it would clear up later, and that Marinette was okay.

-----

It was time for patrol. She was dreading this. She knew Cat Noir would be able to pick up her sadness. He was very persistent and she didn't want to talk about it. But she had a duty to the city.

"Marinette, why don't you take a break for today?" Tikki squeaked, flying up to her holder's face. "You can just transform to tell Cat Noir that you won't be coming!"

"I don't want to leave Cat Noir alone. He shouldn't have to patrol the whole city by himself," Marinette pet Tikki's head softly. "But thanks, Tikki. Don't worry though, I'll be fine. Maybe patrolling will clear my head."

"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette yelled out, being enveloped in a pink light, and then being covered in her Ladybug suit. She climbed up out onto her balcony and swung away.

-----

She met up with Cat Noir at their usual meeting spot. "Hey, kitty," she said, sounding less enthusiastic than normal.

"Hello, m'lady," he bowed deeply, before taking a seat next to her on the top of the building. He observed her carefully, noticing her bluebell eyes looking so lifeless. Her posture slouched.

"Are you okay, Ladybug?" he asked. Her mood was reminiscent of Marinette from earlier. "Did something happen?"

"It's probably silly," Ladybug laughed dryly. "It's just about a boy. He getting closer with someone else, and it kind of hurts," She was surprised she shared that to him.

"Sorry. I know you have feelings for me. I don't mean to hurt you," Cat Noir suddenly pulled her into a hug. But she didn't pull away. She felt comfortable. She felt better. She felt... loved.

After what felt like forever, Cat Noir pulled away. Ladybug could feel the heat building up in her cheeks. Maybe Cat Noir wasn't the worst person to love.

"Thanks, k..kitty.." she stammered over her words, feeling embarrassed. A familiar warm feeling was filling her heart. The heartache from earlier seemed to be slowly ebbing away, being replaced by that warm feeling. She couldn't describe it. But it felt nice.

Cat Noir could see the blush forming on her cheeks. The life coming back into her eyes. Had he done that? It made him blush too. She looked adorable, and the fact that she appeared to be warming up to him made him love her even more.

Ladybug could basically see the hearts forming in his viridescent glowing eyes. She could feel her heart beating in her chest. Her face must've been as red as her suit, as she felt very hot. She gulped nervously, seeing Cat Noir's mischievous grin. Maybe it was time to get over Adrien. Maybe it was time to give a chance. She could feel herself slowly getting closer to Cat Noir. Now there was only a gap of a few inches.

She quickly closed the gap between them, their lips meeting. Ladybug couldn't help herself. Cat Noir couldn't either. At first, he was taken aback by Ladybug's actions. But he wasn't going to take it for granted. He pushed against her lips too, loving every moment they were spending. He placed a hand on her face, caressing her pink cheek gently. She had placed a hand in his messy hair, ruffling it up even more. They were both in heaven. This was bliss.

When they finally pulled away after being basically inseparable. They were breathing heavily, their foreheads leaning against each other as their eyes stared into one another's.

"I..I love you, Cat Noir,"

"I love you too, Ladybug."

bro... that is messed up....
