Arriving fashionably late to fandom discussions as always, but i want to come back to the Orange Shoes Thing. I, personally, never thought about it, so finding out people thought it was just abhorrent was news to me lol

Orange is a good color! It's complimentary to the colors of his pants! I like that it's colorful and to me it matches his outfit pretty well.

BUT!!! It also made me question what other colors would look good on his design. So I tried doing that! I tried muting it a bit to make it less neon-ish, also tried the good old neutral black and gray/white, but i thought it was too basic so then i tried using colors from the stripes on his shirt and then i just wanted to be silly lol

so uh.. choose your favorite?? if you want?

Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

Incredible one-liners as always

nothing is sacred anymore

A: I need you to attack your own evil alternate self, B, I could never hurt you, even just someone who looks like you 🥺

C, who just saw A punch out C’s evil alt self without even blinking: Hey-

Post-wish AU where the world is re-created so that Emilie never died, Gabriel never became Hawk Moth, there was no Ladybug and Chat Noir, etc... Adrien never ends up going to school, so he and Marinette don't end up meeting until later in life.

They never become close friends, but somehow they keep showing up in each other's lives. They attend the same university, but are in different programs, only briefly crossing paths in the library from time to time. They have apartments next-door to each other for a year but only say brief hellos as they pass in the halls. Their kids end up in the same class. They're seatmates on a plane.

There are a hundred different ways the universe keeps trying to bring them together, but it's either not the right time or they somehow mess things up. They go through their entire lives feeling like something is missing.

In the last scene, Adrien visits the cemetary to lay flowers on his late spouse's grave. Marinette's tombstone is the one right beside it.

Marinette stepped through the school doors and tested the rain with her hand. Drawing it back, she sighed, wondering whether it'd be worth it to wait for the rain to stop before heading home.

A limousine eased by with a light-haired boy in the back seat. Marinette opened her mouth, and-

And let it drop closed.

Was she about to say something?

To who?

Weird.

She ran home, doing her best to avoid the rain.

Adrien groaned, glaring at his textbook as though it had personally wronged him. Why had he even agreed to this course in the first place?

A giggle came from the other side of the table, and Adrien looked up to find a blue-eyed girl staring back at him with a barely-hidden smile. He stuck out his tongue, and she snorted.

Someone shushed them -probably the librarian- sending Adrien back to work.

Maybe university wasn't so bad.

Thunder rolled outside, and Adrien was glad he'd brought his umbrella.

--

"Um- Sorry to intrude, but is this seat taken?"

"Huh?" Marinette turned from the window to find a tall, blonde man standing in the aisle, carry-on in his hands and wavering smile claiming his face.

"The, uh, seat. Mind if I use it?"

"Oh! Not at all. Need any help with your bag? I'm stronger than I look; I promise."

He chuckled. "Sure, thank you."

They settled in, and the plane took off.

Marinette smiled as they passed through a cloud, tiny droplets clinging to the window.

Adrien stared down at the grave, tracing its letters in a silent goodbye. Had it been his to seal away, the ring in his hand would be buried there, too, but it was an heirloom, one that had never really been his. The longest he'd held it before was during their wedding, and it had been worn ever since by someone now long gone.

Still, he couldn't quite shake the feeling that he, at least, belonged to it.

He adjusted the bouquet he'd left, pulled away from the headstone, and rose to his feet. As he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of the next marker over.

Marinette.

The name seemed familiar, like someone important, but Adrien didn't know any Marinettes. Maybe someone famous?

He plucked a rose from a nearby bush and left it for her. Whoever she was, she deserved something nice, even if the flower's usual meaning wasn't intended.

It just seemed like her color.

Adrien walked back to his car and shook out his umbrella.

Maybe it would be sunny next year.

this will probably be the only miraculous content i ever produce

nothing is sacred anymore

The great quartet…

…is complete.

Drew more stupid stuff to cope, don’t ask

@gabrielagresteofficial

taste the rainbow, troglodyte masses

Gabriel Agreste is a DILK.

Dads I'd like to KILL.

Asking a celebrity which designer they got their clothes from but they respond like they have a fake gf

“Who’re you wearing?” “oh, uh…you don’t know her” “she goes to a different premier” “she’s totally real tho I swear”

Part 156 of my bakery “enemies” au!

Aaannnd…. scene!

I’m going to take a small hiatus now! Shouldn’t be too long, the next few parts are already done, but I need to recoup at least a little bit and I figure it’d be better to take a break at the scene change than in the middle of the next scene.

Thank you guys for all the kind comments, support, fanworks, etc of my silly comic 😭 I never expected it to get this much attention! Thank you!

... You okay, Anna?

I love miraculous ladybug. Not ironically, not spitefully. I legitimately just think it’s a good show. I think it’s hilarious and genuinely fun and I always have a good time watching it. It brings a smile to my face and gets my synapses firing like not many other things can. I love seeing the characters go on wacky little episode-long adventures. I think the characters are extremely consistently written, where every episode I see them do something and think “oh my god, they so would do that”. I think their motivations and personalities make sense. I think the chemistry and dynamics between the characters are absolutely impeccable. I like watching them develop over time. I believe they have developed over time. I like the episodic format. I actually enjoy the slow, gradual plot, where characters can kind of just exist and have a bunch of different little mini-adventures where we get to see how the characters would react to all different kinds of situations without it all needing to be huge earth-shattering, plot-changing stuff. Sometimes that’s nice. It’s not for everyone, but I still think it’s good. I love it. I enjoy it. It’s my comfort show.

ALL OF THIS

I like to watch shows because they're good, and I read fic/comics if I enjoy the source material! Fan works aren't always fix-its; quite a lot of them fit into canon, be they pre-, post-, interim, or contextually ambiguous. In fact, these are usually the works I enjoy most, because I'm more easily reminded of them if and when I decide to rewatch episodes! (that's part of why my fic username is ThisProbablyIsn'tCanon)

I do love a good AU, but AUs don't have to (but still can) be completely removed from canon to be good.

All this to say, Bugga's 100% right on this.

Fandoms can love themselves, but that love began with the original work.
