And That’s The Thing About Illicit Affairs And Clandestine Meetings And Stolen Stares It’s Born From

This Was Supposed To Be My Town (Consequences)

Faith Lehane never had a chance.

Put yourself, if you will, in Faith Lehane’s shoes. You are seventeen years old. You have no friends, and in fact never seem to have had any. You grew up poor, neglected, and physically abused by your mother. Said mother dies when you are still a child, but you are taken under your wing by another woman: your Watcher, who reveals to you that you are a Chosen One - granted the power to fight vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. She then also dies; violently murdered in front of you. 

So you move across the country to another town, where you meet someone just like you. Like, freakily like you. As if you are her mirror image somehow. She is exactly like you, except she has friends, a loving mother, a living Watcher, and a warm three-bedroomed home to return to every night. You have none of these. You live in a run-down motel that you can’t afford. You have to feed, house and clothe yourself, and none of the adults in your friend’s life make any attempt to rectify this situation, including the one that’s meant to be acting as your Watcher. Again, you are seventeen years old.

But you carry on. You become good friends with this mirror-girl. Perhaps you even have a bit of a crush on her. You think you are inseparable, until you find out she has been secretly keeping her ex-boyfriend in a mansion. At the same time, you get another new Watcher who promises to take care of you, and you start to look up to her. Then she betrays and tries to kill you. And then dies. You spend Christmas Eve with this girl, but again she disappears to look after her ex who’s trying to kill himself. You carry on getting closer with her, finally feeling in tune with another human being who’s coming around to your way of thinking. Then a strange man basically runs into your stake and, oops, you’ve taken a life and might be facing manslaughter charges. It feels like everything in your life other than your freedom has already been denied you, and now you might lose that as well.

What I’m saying is: you wouldn’t have reacted that great either.

Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last few elections and I’m sure assholes will bring it back:

YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.

YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.

IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.

DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.

DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.

DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.

NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.

VOTE.

Faith. Her name alone invokes awe. ‘Faith.’ A set of principles or beliefs upon which you’re willing to devote your life. The Dark Slayer. A lethal combination of beauty, power, and death.

Miraculous Ladybug Fic Recommendations

If you’re suffering like me due to the lack of a new episode and if you’re craving Miraculous Ladybug fics, I highly recommend these :D Mainly for my own reference so I can keep track of what I want to keep reading, but hopefully you find something you like as well~ Credits to all the lovely writers who created the pieces c:

Heartstrings by taylortot on AO3 (She’s taylordraws on tumblr, please do check out her other stuff because it’s all super duper adorable) Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Chat Noir (so far) Status: Chapter 9/?, last updated on 2016/01/18 Summary: Absolutely flawless <3 I honestly can’t even summarize this, I promise it is amazing though! Steamy kisses in this c; Relationship development, working towards the identity reveal, etc.

Rainy Days by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Marinette/Ladybug x Adrien/Chat Noir (Has scenes with all 4 ships, with majority being Marinette x Adrien) Status: Complete (Chapter 10/10) Summary: PLEASE JUST READ IT :D I am completely in love with this piece! I’m not even over exaggerating to be nice or anything. It’s a brilliant, romantic fic, ending in an identity reveal. Lots of feels. They’re completely in love with each other, but Marinette and Adrien have times where they are torn for loving both of the other’s identities (which they don’t know yet), so prepare for a bit of hurt. The author also made an effort to be inclusive of all sides of the main ship. Furthermore, Adrien is a protective little sweetheart, standing up for Marinette when Chloe disrespects her. If you want to drown in fluff and romance, go for it.

Clear Skies by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien Status: Complete (Chapter 2/2) Summary: Sequel to Rainy Days! Post reveal, chapter 1 is about them settling down after what happened in Rainy Days, chapter 2 is the SWEETEST, CAVITY CAUSING, FLUFFIEST DATE EVER.

Boutique by TheJulyCentury on AO3 Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien (so far) Status: Chapter 4/?, last updated on  2015/11/21 Summary: Marinette opens up an online store and Adrien later finds out, becoming an adorable, hot, hormonal, jealous mess  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ Lucky Strike by Inkkerfuffle on AO3 Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Chat Noir (so far) Status: Chapter 5/6, last updated on 2015/11/28 Summary: Marinette stands up for Rose against Chloe, but gets suspended. Chat visits, and then steamy kisses c; Very cute storyline, worth the time reading even though each chapter is a bit more lengthy.

The Ladybugs and the Bees by BullySquadess on AO3

Pairing: Focuses on Ladynoir (so far) Status: Chapter 22/?, last updated on 2016/02/02 Summary: And the smut begins! Awesome fic, with a great storyline. So the first few chapters are about puberty, but I promise it’s essential for the rest of the story! So much Ladybug  x Chat Noir, just them being expiremental teenagers etc. Honestly I personally loved it because they’re being such cute interactive darlings, so if you like smut with plot then go for it :)

The Consequences of Midnight Makeouts by Faequeen40 on AO3

Pairing: Marichat, Adrienette, Ladynoir? Status: Complete (Chapter 3/3) Summary: Hickeys, scratches on the back, reveal fic. First two chapters are about their school life with people seeing their love marks ;3 Chapter 3 is what got me though. If you’re a precious cinnamon roll, ch 3 might tear your heart out for 30 seconds or so because there’s a few lines of angst. Aside from that, it’s basically exactly what the title is (with Marichat), and then Adrien has suspicions of Marinette being Ladybug.

Secret Santa by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien Status: Complete (Chapter 1/1) Summary: SO FLUFFY, very easily imaginable as canon. Adrien and Marinette get each other as their secret santa. Marinette is a precious little darling and Adrien is proud. Sweet and short c:

Too Real by PearLynn on AO3

Pairing: All 4 main ships Status: Complete (5/5) Summary: IF YOU NEEDED SIN, SEX, AND ALL THE SMUT, HERE YOU GOOOOOOO. Oral sex, identity reveal, and all that :’D Written very well, so it’s not JUST them being hormonal teens. Definitely recommended to all you smut craving lovelies.

Dont Wake Me Up by georgette_the_frog on AO3

Pairing: Covers most of the main ship Status: Complete (7/7) Summary: Just your average dose of dream smut, really all just dreams coming to an identity realization.
