GG/SU how to make Gem Jägers

There is a satalite, and in that satalite there is a chamber wrapped in layers and layers of soundproofing. In the outer rooms, outside the chamber, wait technicians and soldiers, and beyond that is the vast, utter soundproofing of space.

Inside the chamber wait Gems, mostly Quartzes and Agates, a few Rubies, perhaps a Nephrite or a defiant looking Pearl.

At the centre of the chamber stands a Heterodyne. “Do you wish this?” she asks each of them in turn.

They do.

They swear their loyalty, some of them – the runaways, the strays – still shocked at themselves, that they could swear this to someone who isn’t a Diamond.

The Heterodyne sings. The Diamonds, legend says, once used a song like this to corrupt the Gems of Earth. The Heterodynes have refined it.

The Gems standing there find their bodies glitching, growing, claws and horns sprouting. They fight. They do not need to be smart. They do not need to be perfectly coherent. But they must remember who they are. They must remember that they want to live.

Not all of them manage.

Those that are too far gone, lost to anger and pain, are stabbed and gently bubbled by the Heterodyne. In the centre of their Castle is a room with a ceiling of bubbles, those who could not serve them still under their protection.

Those that manage have a form somewhere between a Gem and a Beast, bipedal, clawed, warped.

They are Jägerkin.

Magical Girl AU

Agatha

Powers: Jäger cards. Her ancestors only bound willing spirits to cards, but every single one of them found a few new willing spirits, so now there’s a thousand or so cards hanging around. Agatha usually takes a selection and leaves the rest in an iron bound chest. This is nicer than it sounds – when the Jägers are together they can move between cards and she often comes back to find them all wearing different hats.

She lends them out sometimes, too, but only to people she really trusts.

Mascots: Castle and Beast, in their dingbot forms. When they power up they take on something close to their train and castle forms.

The first time Castle powered up there was a lot of “wait… really a castle? as in a building? did you just bend reality to move all those streets over and place yourself in the middle of this city?”

Violetta

Powers: Her powers are clothing based with her mascots providing different outfits with different powers as needed. The most commonly worn is the purple invisibility dress.

Mascots: Tarvek and Anevka. Anevka is a porcelain doll and Tarvek is a teddy bear, but the really high end and fashionably dressed kind. He has a button in his ear with Violetta’s symbol on it.

When they power up enough they can appear mostly human – but their eyes stay glass.

Zeetha

Powers: Magic swords.

Mascot: Her powers come direct from a goddess so she doesn’t have one.

Bang: She’s not… really a magical girl. But she has the willingness to stab, even if it’s with ordinary knives, a stolen Jäger card (Vole), and a really strong aesthetic.

My guess was Countess Marie, because height, but YES CIRCUS

YES YES YES

New Girl Genius page is up and…

CIRCUS 

THAT’S TOTALLY PIX

AT LEAST I REALLY HOPE SO

MASTER PAYNE’S IS BACK, BABY!!!

So um, yes, I have heard that this is the place to ask for an invite to the Girl Genius Discord? I've tried some of the other links you're posted but it said that they were all expired. I just reread the entire comic in...3-4 days I need help and/or others to go crazy with.

here you go: https://discord.gg/nAvEa7w - NOW PERMANENT!

@gigglinggoggles and @trust-me-i-dare-you as well. Welcome to the madness place!

Can I request for The Shoulder Spirit AU for the 5HC?

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it

So someone else is actually going to write this (@scribeprotra), but here we go. I’m stealing most of these from the original chat, tbf, but a few are new or modified:

1. Wooster’s shoulder spirits embody “Do it for England” and “DO IT FOR THE VINE.” They are, respectively, Albia and Trelawney Thorpe (specifically Thorpe’s YOLO Spark Id). It’s a bit of a headache to deal with.

2. Krosp doesn’t have shoulder spirits but he can see them, so that’s fun. (Other option is that he gets Agatha and Dr. Dim. Up in the air, really.)

3. Shoulder spirits are often good vs evil, but they happen to take other dichotomies as well, like Wooster’s responsibility/loyalty vs. recklessness/hedonism.

4. Klaus has his brothers as his shoulder spirits. However, given the nature of his brain, his brothers also have shoulder spirits, which Klaus can see, if not very clearly. this This is also a headache to deal with.

5. Lucrezia had the classic good/evil dynamic. Her experiments may or may not have resulted in the good spirit disappearing.

6. Tarvek’s pair is Othar and Anevka. This is an extreme headache to deal with.

7. Tarvek is, ironically, the shoulder angel for half his family. This is very irritating for all of them to deal with. Seffie in particular has Tarvek and Martellus, and they’re constantly arguing but the one thing they agree on is that she should get with Colette. It’s awkward for Anevka, who has her brother as her shoulder angel and her mother as her shoulder devil.

8. Gil gets Bang and Wooster, well before he’s met either one. (Bang is the shoulder devil for a lot of people). It’s why Gil trusts Wooster despite him being a spy once they meet in Paris. Bang can’t get Gil to really do anything evil so she settles for convincing him to do as much Madboy Chaos as possible.

9. Martellus gets pre-zombie and post-zombie Andronicus.

10. Jagers generally get other jagers as a Common Sense and Utter Dumbass pairing. Given that there are only about seven or eight jagers in the entire army that are actually willing and capable of giving common sense advice (the generals, Dimo, Jenka, maybe Jorgi), this is very much a “sharing the braincell” meme situation.

11. Theo gets his Momma Serpentina and Auntie Demonica. The only thing they agree on is Seduce Sleipnir, Dammit.

12. Each muse gets two of her sisters. The ones who got Tinka are all Very Worried.

13. Zeetha is also one of those people who just. Gets her parents. It’s one of the reasons she’s pretty keen on meeting the baron. She saw a propaganda poster and that’s a dreadfully familiar face.

14. Bang’s shoulder angel is Gil. She gets lots of practice ignoring him before they ever meet.Gil, to Bang: You! You’re my shoulder devil!Bang, to Gil: You! You’re my shoulder angel!Klaus: Great, you’re going to be working together forever now.

15. Jim has Aldin as his shoulder spirit of Common Sense. Aldin has Jim as his shoulder spirit of Pure Dumbass. You know. Jager style.

16. Saturnus had Teodora as his shoulder angel. It was why he sought her out

17. Agatha gets her dad and the Castle. She doesn’t actually see them until the locket comes off, and she cries when she does because Bill tells her he’s proud of her and it’s Very Overwhelming.

18. At least one person’s spirits are primarily Depression vs. Executive Function

19. Lars has Abner and the cheesemaker he was apprenticed to. Abner’s role is basically “follow your dreams!” The cheesemaker is the “play it safe.”

20. There are sparky machines made to test for the presence of shoulder spirits, mostly as a sentience test for constructs.

21. Shoulder Bill’s favorite of Agatha’s suitors is Lars, by the way. The fact that Lars is not a spark and not any mad scientist’s beautiful son is also a factor.

22. Being someone’s shoulder spirit is considered functionally equivalent to a soulmate. Usually platonic, occasionally romantic, but always important.

Girl Genius AU where they're in fandom

1. they’re in the Heterodyne Boys fandom.

2. Gil and Tarvek are battling it out for the Most Kudosed story on AO3 but only Tarvek knows that. Gil is writing a really epic adventure/discovery gen story with lots of found family fluff and he once mentioned casually that he wasn’t super into dramatic love quintangles and politics and period-appropriate clothing and kinky erotica. Tarvek took it super personally.

3. out of nowhere this dingbot_heterodyne person shows up with ONE (1) fic and it’s 1. long 2. super well researched 3. badassly actionny 4. politically super sharp yet easy to follow 5. IT UPDATES UNFAILINGLY EVERY THREE DAYS and it takes the top spot from them both in three weeks.

4. tarvek falls in love with the plotline but is still kinda seeting with jealousy a bit so he takes to writing “missing scenes” that are all the sinful porn dingbot isn’t writing. dingbot writes him thanks and mentions how embarrassed they are and it’s totally a failing of their part as a writer but they just Can Not write the porn and they really admire his deft hand in balancing characterization and sizzling hotness. tarvek turns into their n°1 fan and starts chatting them up on discord

5. but. gil notices the email address and it’s his university and meets dingbot in PERSON and they bond on fandom glee but also general fandommy and courses tastes and two weeks later out of nowhere tarvek has to read, with his own eyes, that dingbot is DATING HIS RIVAL. they’ve been sort of co-writing porn scenes for her fic, he was guiding them through it and was so proud of their progress and they were getting to be such intimate friends and BAM. this is super unfair ;__;

6. then gil’s sister lols because hey your gf is writing porn with someone else does that count as sexting and gil is like ??? uhhh *reads the porn* *… dang* do you think your friend could also teach me the ways of writing … well not even porn just. romantic stuff.

7. tarvek ends up tutoring his two rivalcrushes in the art of erotica. how is this his life. but it’s all he will get so he accepts it, very bitterly. and ofc the more they all three talk and the more his crush on agatha grows until he realizes he’s also crushing on gil, and even WORSE he’s crushing on their romantic bond with each other. they’re such a fucking cute couple jfc how can he not ;__;

8. so he writes a modern AU bill/lu/klaus or maybe it’s a lu/bill/klaus where he’s klaus sublimating his attraction to bill into lu until he can’t lie to himself anymore and gently steps away from them both. he writes two endings. one is “lu figures it out and decides both is good” and the the next one is “that was klaus’ dream but then he wakes up to go be best man at their wedding and never says a thing.”

9. agatha isn’t even the one who figures it out first, GIL is. because that lu was way nicer than she’s ever been in canon and usually tarvek is way more deft at juggling bare-bones canon characteristics with emotional fanon filling-out.

10. it’s suddenly hard to catch tarvek to have long conversations because Real Life (or so he says) so gil and agatha decide to co-author a fan sequel where lu and bill come back from their honeymoon and were bored as sin and decide to go get them some klaus.

it’s bar none their least kudosed story ever, because oh man the Bashful does not work well with sensual OT3 seduction and also it’s not what either of their fanbases follow them for, but it does net them a reply.

the first ten lines are bitching gil out about anachronistic pantaloons. but he does get back on discord so they can ask him out properly.

you have encountered a group of trilobites! reblog to help them on their journey

 Its sketchy but hey its finished. Shout out to that anon who sent me the link to this song,this is all because of you. I used a ton of references and screenshot redraws for this and I even copied some screenshots for this one panel ...I just love these kids so much

*Ladybug and Chat Noir appear*

Chat Noir: Hey, stop scrolling real quick.

Ladybug: You're here? Good. We want to tell you something very important.

Chat Noir: Life is worth living, and if you think you can't continue, look at us.

Ladybug: Life is sh*t, and we're still here. If we can get this far, so can you.

Chat Noir: So do not, no matter what, think you can't do it.

I need more fluffy reveals in my life.

Nino says you guys haven’t seen Adrien’s Chat Noir impression? it’s spot on

Adrien turns around in his seat laughing loudly. Get it? Spot on! 

Alya says oh my gosh STOP

Marinette is like D: ??!!

Get it, Marinette? Like Spots on? Adrien smirks in a coy fashion so familiar to her, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips, but before he can give her knuckles a kiss, Nino says wait wait

and musses up Adrien’s hair. Nino says you’ve gotta get the look

Adrien is like right right help me and doesn’t let go of Marinette’s hand while Nino tries to fluff and piece Adrien’s hair around to look like Chat Noir, parting his hair in the middle

Alya says “oh my g*d you look like a different PERSON??!! WAIT wait you missed this part” and leans over her desk to pull out his bangs from his middle part. “how do you have so much hair?!”

Marinette is SHOOK watching this transformation happen before her eyes. who is this fluffy cute strange boy in front of her?  He turns back to Marinette, Chat like grin on his face and lays the charm on thick. Except instead of it being silly and trite like when Chat Noir does it she feels electricity and warm fuzzies jolt up her arm and turn her face bright red as he say something totally cheesy, winks and kisses her knuckles. 

“You forgot to say ‘My Lady,’“ Nino adds.

“oh, right. ‘My Lady.’“ He winks at Marinette stupidly. and Nino snorts and laughs.”

“I can’t get over how different you look right now.“ Alya gawks. “Poor Marinette, what have you done to her?!”

She is totally stiff and her heart is beating out of her chest and she can’t stop thinking I LIKE HIM I LIKE HIM I LIKE HIM I LIKE HIM at this absolutely unfamiliar yet oh-so-familiar Chat Noir-Adrien hybrid boy sitting in front of her. 

She’s never seen Chat Noir’s bare face, and she’s never seen Adrien act any way but polite and reserved. 

So this gives her some kind of crisis, unable to stop thinking about what Chat Noir really does look like under his mask, and wonder why she reacted even more extremely to Adrien’s Chat Noir style flirting than she has when he’s given her other kinds of attention. 

“Y-y-you…” Marinette stammers.

Adrien lets go of her hand and stares at her with just his eyes above the edge of her desk just like a cat. “Yes?”

“Sh-should wear your hair like that more often!” Marinette smiles crookedly. “It’s…..”

Nino, Alya and Adrien all look at her with wide, expectant eyes.

“..C…c..cute.”

They all gasp a little, Adrien’s eyes going wide, and his face going red, while Nino and Alya turn their faces into their homework to hide their laughter. 

“Oh… th-thanks!!” Adrien looks genuinely shocked. 

Marinette’s face turns to some smug expression he hasn’t seen on her face before besides when she’s beat him at videogames. “You’re welcome, kitty.”

It sends a pulse up and down Adrien’s body and his blush returns. He gives her his own crooked, awkward smile before the teacher walks in and he jolts, turning around and quickly scooping his hair back to Adrien style, to look presentable for class out of habit. His hair looks like a messy half version of what he just had, and Marinette can now not unsee the boy she just saw.

She can’t unsee what is the only possible face under Chat Noir’s mask!!! It may not be him, but she can’t get that image out of her mind. So she starts to entertain the thought. 

She longs to get that side out of Adrien again though, it was fun!! maybe she can find a way to claw it out of him.

Cue arc of story where Marinette gives into her curiosity and somehow tricks Adrien into saying CLAWS OUT in private while flirting Ladybug style.

and then she tells him wow that impression was pretty SPOTS ON and reveals herself. Chat Noir squeaks and explodes and gets pounced on for the biggest happiest hug of his life

Iroh: People work their entire lives to find spirits and access the spirit world. It has taken years of dedication and study for me to reach the small part of it that I’m able to find.

Sokka, who accidentally steered a canoe to where the Avatar had been frozen for a century and then fell in love with the moon and also spent 24 hours in the spirit world that one time and was the only one who the hallucinations flat-out spoke to in the magical swamp: what, like it’s hard?

Things Marinette Dupain-Cheng has contingency plans for:

Adrien Agreste is a serial killer

Adrien Agreste is a secret robot

Adrien Agreste is a Fae who wants to steal her soul

Adrien Agreste is the harbinger of an alien invasion

Things Marinette Dupain-Cheng does not have a contingency plan for:

Adrien Agreste says he loves her back

reblog if you would hug Adrien Agreste

Marinette has her friends over and is ranting that while Luka is great and listens to her and is always good about giving her space, what she really needs when she’s upset is touch and skin contact and hugs and squeezes

And Nino and Alya are nodding along because yeah, Mari has ADHD and she needs pressure stim, that makes sense

And she’s like “no you’re not getting it, in a perfect world when I’m upset I’d have someone to basically lie on top of me like cats do”

And Adrien, not realizing this is a hypothetical, hears the word “cat” and activates and immediately just sort of climbs onto her and drapes himself across her body without thinking

Marinette immediately goes catatonic with bewildered glee

Flower shop AU

Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?”

You either die a hero…

or you live long enough to see yourself become Nathalie.

Social Media and Chat Noir are definitely Best Friends and nothing can convince me otherwise.

A condensed list of Things Chat Noir Has Shown Us Through Social Media:

   • Selfies with street performers he just so happened to see during patrols

   • Selfies in general of him making the grossest duck face he possibly can in front of couples and tourists, who are all just trying to mind their own business

   • Videos of him narrating what random alley cats are doing, because he’s a self-proclaimed cat whisperer and needs everyone to know (he doesn’t actually speak cat, he’s bullshitting you)

   • A vine series where the camera is pointed directly at Ladybug’s face as he starts naming off random green-eyed, blond celebrities, claiming them to be his secret identity, and catching all of Ladybug’s reactions. Her reactions become increasingly angrier as the series goes on. (The series ends when Chat claims to be Adrien Agreste and she straight up screams so loudly he drops the camera)

   • A video of him with street clothes over his suit and big ass sunglasses over his mask, arm over certified civilian Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s shoulders, who is also wearing big ass sunglasses. They’re drinking smoothies and shit-talking fashion designers very loudly. Marinette says she loves Gabriel Agreste’s work but she’d punch him in the face bc he needs an attitude adjustment. Chat chokes on his smoothie

   • An interview he does with Alya except he’s wearing a fake mustache the entire time and doing an unexpectedly amazing job at keeping a straight face.

   • Posts of him complaining about how people throw away perfectly good cardboard boxes and how truly offended he is like are you joking—

   • Posts of him gushing over how much he loves Ladybug and wow he’s definitely going to be embarrassed by those 5 years from now

   • Selfies of him in a group of Chat Noir cosplayers, the last selfie featuring the look on their faces as they check their social media and realise holy fuck that’s the real Chat Noir aND HE’S POSTING PICS OF US

   • An hour long video of him explaining why Physics Is Awesome and you should love it too. He somehow does this while cramming puns in almost every single sentence. How does he not get tired

   • A list of his personal anime recommendations, most of them unsurprisingly featuring cats in one way or another. His favourite movie is The Cat Returns

   • An ungodly amount of puns revolving around him being bi

   • An interrupted alley cat video where Marinette calls him over to her balcony and drags him inside because she wants to turn it into a makeup video. He ends up with black lipstick, flawless contouring, and beautiful eyeliner. He comes back for another video because “I really rocked the black lipstick”

   • Unintelligible posts he made while accidentally high on catnip

   • A picture, taken by a kid who found his baton, of him tangled up in a poor old woman’s ball of yarn she was using to knit a scarf. Thankfully she seems amused and not ready to beat him with her purse

   • A vine of him absentmindedly pushing things off the edge of counters, buildings, and desks, filmed by Ladybug herself without his knowledge. He’s always smiling evilly after the act

   • Badly photoshopped pictures he’s made with his and Ladybug’s faces pasted onto infamous movie covers

   • That One Time He Was On A Talk Show And Was Permanently Banned

   • A cute video of him responding to fan questions from a livestream.

   • “I do not pose all the time I don’t know what gave you that ide—” suddenly glitter falls from nowhere, he’s giving his most powerful smoulder, body draped over a gargoyle. Ladybug is staring at him from above, unimpressed

   • Videos of him antagonizing and shit-talking Hawkmoth. Akumas start targeting him viciously and he mentions in a video how fucking amazing it is that his greatest enemy is actually following him on social media, he’s laughing

   • Selfies he’s taken with elderly ladies he’s found around Paris, all of which have captions along the lines of “I met a gorgeous woman today!” or “this young lady was gracious enough to give this tomcat the pleasure of a photo in her presence!”

   • A post of him cursing out catnip and how much he hated that his friends are now drinking tea made out of the stuff like she just had to like gardening, she just had to plant catnip, she just had to share the tea with her friends, he just had to have the worst luck in the world—

   • Memes. All the memes. He likes to bring the oldest ones back, knowing full well just how horrible they are.

   • A video of him reacting to a video of people complimenting him. He’s bright red by the end of the video. (Obviously Nino, Marinette, and Alya are included. Nino and Marinette are the most enthusiastic ones out of the whole lot)

   • “Why are you so active with social media, Chat Noir? Most superhero stories don’t go that way.” “Well, I want everyone to know that I am an idiot. An imbecile. A complete and utter moron. It’s reassuring that you are all fully aware of that fact, yet still trust the fate of the city in my paws. Which, to be fair, is a dumb move on your part as well, Paris. We are all buffoons, apparently.”

Feel free to add to the list in any way you can

Reblogging to preserve this DC/MK rabbit hole.

So between google-fu and E-J dictionary, I have figured out that “What would Edogawa Conan do?” is “Edogawa Conan wa nani o surudarou” and would acronym as EKOWANAOSU.  Six kana, to fit on the middle three fingers of each hand, and divided across hands as E-KO-WA NA-O-SU.  Which also happens to mean “E. Ko. repairs/fixes/corrects/heals”.

(Help help the DCMK prison population is deifying Edogawa Conan.)  (Also they are punning him.)

Next Chapter

@a-6-yearold-inside

A Felinette Fanfic where they never changed seats back after Chameleon, Adrien vs Felix in the next parts

- - -

Adrien was a good friend, if you asked him. Not that he had a lot of experience with friendship, but he’d read a lot about it. He could listen well. He could give advice. He was good at bringing out the best in people, at keeping the peace and harmony of the class. Madame Bustier didn’t call him sunshine boy for nothing!

So when Felix Leanne was announced to be their newest student, he figured he was the perfect candidate to welcome him to class. Sure, they hadn’t really gotten along when they’d last met, but maybe Felix had changed in the last year?

“Hi!”, he greeted as soon as he spotted the boy. “I’m Adrien Agreste. We’ve worked together last summer, remember?”

The older blond stilled and eyed him warily. His eyes were eerily colorless; a cool, distant grey. Adrien shivered a little.

“I do” Felix replied after a moment of silence. Then continued to walk towards class.

Struggling to keep up with his long, measured strides, he followed suit.

“You’ve never been to school either, right?” he tried again. “We’ll be in the same class! Madame Bustier is our home teacher, she’ll probably want you to make a short introduction. Do you want to get to know our classmates? I could introduce you!”

Felix kept his eyes straight ahead, his face was devoid of any emotion. Maybe he was shy? Surely, he’d open up sooner or later.

“That appears to be inevitable.”, was his brisk answer, confirming that the new student would need some time to warm up to them.

Alright then. He could do this!

When they entered the classroom, only a few students were already there. They looked up as soon as Felix walked in, his confident posture attracting attention even before he was fully inside.

“Hey, guys!”, Adrien greeted Nino and Alya, who already looked as if she had a million questions to ask their newbie. “This is Felix Leanne! He’s from Great Britain, we modeled together last year.”

Alya jumped up and held out her hand to him, all but squealing in excitement.

“I’m Alya Césaire, from the Ladyblog! I’ve read so much about you, you were the face of Leanne Fashion’s “Lucky Line”! The posters of you in that Ladybug tie were all over Paris!”

She shoved her phone in his face, probably displaying said ad.

“I’m so excited to meet you!”

Felix wrinkled his nose.

“Please take that out of my face.”

“Oh, right!”

“I’m Nino”, her boyfriend followed up, “Nice to meet you, dude! I’m sure you’re gonna love it here.”

One by one, the other students began to crowd around Felix, greeting him and asking about his life. The answers were short, matter-of-fact and a little bit annoyed if you paid enough attention. Chloé threw one look at him and apparently decided it was best not to mess with him.

“Lila’s going to be so happy to meet you!”, Rose said cheerily, catching Adrien’s attention again. She was directly next to Felix, no chance he might have missed that. “She told us all about you, from when she met you at that Fashion Show in London her parents sponsored.”

Felix frowned and opened his mouth, but Adrien beat him to it.

“Let’s not bother him with work details right now!”, he suggested a little too hastily, and probably an octave above his usual tone of voice. “He’s new to school after all, and I’m sure he hears enough about work at home!”

Felix looked at him with raised eye brows, but didn’t press the matter. Adrien sighed with relief. Another day of successfully keeping the peace of this class.

He looked around, searching for missing faces. Kim was sick with the flu, he wouldn’t come today. Sabrina was with Chloé as usual, Marinette was probably late again and Lila should be here any minute now.

As if on cue, the brunette Italian entered the room just as the other students began to go to their places again. With a winning smile and her usual, confident stride she headed for Felix.

“Oh, hello! You’re Felix Leanne, right? I’m Lila Rossi, I’m sort of new myself.”

The tall blond regarded her with hidden suspicion.

“Aha”

Her eyes roamed over his desk and spotted the thermos in his bag.

“I heard you’re from England!” she beamed. “I lived there for a while, my grandparents are famous for their rare teas. Maybe we could go for a cup after school? There’s not that many places where it’s as good as in Britain, but I happen to know one or two.”

The fact that she hadn’t mentioned any Fashion Show in London confirmed Adrien’s assumption that it had been another lie.

Felix eyed her for a moment, then sat down at the last table in the back.

“I hate tea.”, he deadpanned, before taking out the thermos and pouring him a cup of what was obviously coffee without breaking eye contact with Lila. Adrien swore he could see the gears in her head come to screeching halt.

“O-Oh? What a shame” she caught herself. “Then maybe we could-“

“Good Morning, class!”, Madame Bustier interrupted her attempts. Forced to retreat for now, Lila went to her seat next to him and Adrien followed with a nod. During the lesson she wouldn’t have the opportunity to make up another story, which meant for now, crisis was averted. No exposing Lila, no fights, no trouble. He smiled. Another day of perfect school time, just like he’d always imagined it!

He shouldn’t have been so sure of that. It started when Marinette arrived, just in time for saying “present” as Mme Bustier read her name. Since she’d been sitting in the back for a week now, she’d be Felix desk neighbor. He didn’t think anything of it, but Lila shot her a glare that could’ve been both a warning and a threat. Or maybe he’d misinterpreted it? Maybe she’d just been annoyed that Marinette was late again? Must be it.

Still, Madame Bustier didn’t get the chance to start her lesson when Lila stood up and raised her voice.

“Madame, Felix just arrived! He shouldn’t have to sit in the back by himself, does he?”

Adrien wanted to remind her that no, he wasn’t by himself, Marinette was there too, but remembered just in time the last time they had changed the seats. No, it wouldn’t help to speak up now.

Mme Bustier frowned.

“We only changed the seating order last week.”

Lila wasn’t that easy to shake off however.

“Oh, but you have all welcomed me so sweetly when I first arrived. I couldn’t live with myself if I wouldn’t do the same for Felix.”

She looked down.

“If it weren’t for my disability I’d switch with him myself, but…”

Felix coughed.

“I don’t-“

“Oh, we could go to the back!”, Alya volunteered, drowning out whatever Felix had wanted to say, and pulled Nino’s hand up with her. Lila smiled.

“Really? That’s so nice of you guys!”

“Actually-“ Felix tried again but Lila wasn’t done yet.

“Oh, but what about Marinette? We just unseated her last week, we shouldn’t do so again, right? Would you sit with Marinette in the back?”

“Sure!”, Alya beamed and patted Nino on the shoulder in comfort. “We sat together before, too!”

“I-“

“It’s no big deal, really!”

“Madame Bustier!”, Marinette called out of the blue, with enough force to make the entire class jump. Her hands were planted firmly on the desk and her face was grim. He shot her a concerned glance, trying to remind her of her promise. No exposing Lila.

“Yes, Marinette?” the young teacher answerd, looking startled.

“How about”, Marinette said slowly, locking eyes with Mme Bustier, “we offer Felix the chance I didn’t get the last time, and give him a say in this?”

Surprised, she nodded and looked at her latest student.

“O-Of course, yes. Where would you like to sit, Felix?”

The blond teenager sighed, frustrated.

“I am perfectly fine sitting in the back, thank you very much.”

Felix hated school. It was full, it was loud and people just wouldn’t leave him alone. He sighed, remembering the promise he’d made to his mother. She was still in England, but she’d called to make sure he was alright. She wanted him to have this experience, to meet other children and be normal, for a while. It was not like he didn’t appreciate her care! But he really, really wished she would’ve expressed it in other ways. Maybe take him along to one of her incentives or business trip. He was old enough to learn about the company he’d inherit, wasn’t he?

But if it made her happy, he’d try this… school life. He’d make an effort, learn something, and then go back to homeschooling. Preferably sooner than later.

“Present!”, yelled a voice next to him and he looked up. He hadn’t even noticed the girl sliding into the seat next to him, but now she was there. Late, obviously.

He hated unpunctuality.

She smiled at him when she noticed his stare and pushed her book over to him, showing him which page they were at. Otherwise, she didn’t try to interrogate him or make Smalltalk.

Huh. He could appreciate that.

Until that Lila-girl from earlier stood up, he was almost thinking this wouldn’t get so bad after all. But alas, his hopes were shattered once again.

Her repeated attempts at changing the seating were, to his surprise, not shut down by the red-haired teacher. Apparently, he had to get active himself. Great.

He coughed, trying to get their attention.

“I don’t-“

“Oh, we could go to the back!”, the Ladyblog girl, Alya, exclaimed enthusiastically. He blinked. She’d just cut him off. How disrespectful!

Shaking his head, he straightened his back. Maybe she just hadn’t heard him. No need to make a fuss just yet.

“Actually-“ he started again, before being interrupted once again, this time by Lila. His eye twitched.

One more time, he told himself, one more time trying to do it the peaceful way. For Mum. He could still walk out after that.

“I-“ really don’t need to sit in the front, he wanted to say, but his third try was as successful as the other two. He sighed, almost happy. He could go home, finally. Tell Mum he’d tried, but public schools just weren’t his forte. Too unprofessional. Too chaotic. Too…

“Madame Bustier!”, an energetic voice pulled him out of his resignation, just as he was about to pack his bag. It was his desk neighbor, Ms Unpunctual. Could that girl even talk in any volume other than “loud”?

“How about we give Felix the chance I didn’t get, the last time,” she said threateningly slow, and bit bitterly if he wasn’t wrong, “and give him a say in this?”

“Of course” the teacher agreed, apparently remembering that she was supposed to be the authority here. “Where would you like to sit, Felix?”

He sighed.

“I am perfectly fine with sitting in the back, thank you very much!”, he uttered a bit salty.

Lila, frustrated that she was ignored, sat down again and the rest of the class calmed as well.

“You didn’t have to do that”, he clarified to his neighbor as soon as the teacher had turned around. Better make clear that she couldn’t expect any favors or benefits from him. “I’m fully capable of speaking for myself.”

Usually. In a professional environment, at least. He hated having to raise his voice, and apparently, that was the only thing that worked on these savages.

But the girl surprised him yet again by simply shrugging.

“Yeah, I figured. But still.” She looked down, where Lila was currently draping herself all over Agreste. “It can be nice to know someone has your back.”

Maybe he’d imagined it, but she sounded a little bitter at that. He turned back to the teacher, but kept stealing glances at his pigtailed classmate.

He was no stranger to people, not like Agreste had been just a year ago. And other than the younger boy, he didn’t see them through rose colored lenses, and didn’t mind telling them off when they crossed a line. His young age and position as the heir and face of an international fashion empire made him a regular target for people that wanted to profit off of him - his sire included. He couldn’t afford to be as carefree as Adrien, who was constantly monitored by his own terror of a father.

Over the time, Felix had acquired a sixth sense for detecting warning signs of manipulators and people who used others for their own gain. He’d seen them in Lila Rossi, and he’d seen them in his father, but no matter how hard he focused, scrutinized or analyzed… he couldn’t find them in his mysterious classmate.

“I’m Felix”, he eventually whispered, half hoping she wouldn’t hear it. Yet her surprised smile failed to disappoint him, for some reason.

“I’m Marinette. Welcome to the back, I guess.”

Lies Don’t Last

Warning! Chameleon Sneak Peak Spoilers Below!

Please read this with the knowledge I posted this post-sneak peak, pre-episode!

“Do you mind if I sit here?”

Keep reading

Here you go, anon. What if this is how Adrien reveals to Marinette after he finds out her identity first? 

I am so happy so many people love the Ultimate Adrienette shipper Gabriel AU (like to original post here), thank you all so much I don’t even have words, so here’s a part 2 with some more ideas, hope you enjoy and again thank you all =)

If Mari and Adrien ever got together this would completely happen

Gabriel “Marinette you’re like the child I never had”

Adrien “you mean daughter right dad?….dad?”

Gabriel thinks Mari is so amazing because she is literally the ideal person to take over his company (Adrien once thought orange tracksuits and sailor uniforms were the height of fashion Gabriel refuses to trust him with anything in terms of running his company)

Gabriel solution before Marinette would be the same as the kings in ever after ‘I will simply keep the company and live forever’

He is a member of the Martinette fanclub

Evillustator  would be awkward I don’t think Gabriel would have been paying attention to who Nath had a crush on and when he finds out it’s Mari he’s just like “Hold on Marinette as in Marinette Dupain-Cheng?…ok NO!” and either forces Nath to attack Chloe and Ladybug/Chat Noir the Akuma just leaves leaving a very confused Nath on a roof somewhere or just in Mari’s room… it’s awkward.

He keeps an eye on Nath after that because he is not letting a random make this love triangle any more complicated damn it.

After Reverser and Marcnath happens he’s like ah phew the threat is now gone…then Luka happens Hawkmoth almost has an aneurysm and is just like “WHO HATES THIS BOY THAT I CAN AKUMATIZE SO I CAN GET RID OF THIS THREAT???”.

Nooroo “Are you seriously trying to murder a this boy because he may like Marinette”

Gabriel “DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HOW INVESTED I AM IN THIS RELATIONSHIP NOOROO!!”

Also Reverser involves him constantly being like “NO GET THE RED HAIRED BRAT!! DO NOT TOUCH A HAIR ON MY FUTURE DAUGTHERS HEAD I SWEAR TO GOD!!… ALSO  ON A COMPELTLY UNRELATED NOTE IF YOU SEE ADRIEN AGRESTE REVERSE HIM SO HE IS NOT  AN OBLIVIOUS IDIOT”

In Gorizilla the entire time Adrien and Mari are running away there’s an Akuma following them and Hawkmoth has his fingers crossed like “please be a date please be a date please be date” and at the end “how was that not a date?!”

In Troublemaker he’s like ‘YES! Adrien has to get it now’ and then hears oh she’s a fan and just rteatedly hitting his head on the wall

Gabriel "what did I do to deserve this??”

Nooroo “…I mean”

Gabriel “Aside from that Nooroo! I mean Akumatising all of Paris would not warrant this torture”

Nooroo “…”

Gabriel “ Although that’s actually a good idea”

@aleniksimmer before mentioned how Gabriel is equally oblivious as Adrian and yeah he is which is why this totally happens

Gabriel  “HOW CAN HE NOT SEE IT SHE’S RIGHT THERE AND SHE OBVIOUSLY LOVES HIM HOW CAN HE NOT SEE IT??”

Nathalie *eye twitching* “…yes that would be THE MOST ANNOYING THING EVER”

Gabriel “I know right? Poor Marinette”

Nathalie *screaming into pillow*

Poor Nathalie has to deal with so much shit from Gabriel

Her Mari bond over the oblivious Agreste’s like when she’s showing Mari to her seat or something in Style Queen she’s just like ‘I get it trust me ‘ and 2 end up talking in sync because they FINALLY have someone who knows the pain of the oblivious Agreste’s

The 2 totally make a group chat so they can vent and just share experiences, Nathalie really like Mari to and is just like please join this family I need someone sane to talk to please.

(Also 2 blue haired ladies pining other 2 blonde oblivious idiots)

Lastly for this post a funny idea

There’s an Akuma attack when Adrien confesses the poor Akumatized person flings their hands over their ears as they are nearly deafened by Hawkmoth just screaming “YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! YES! FINALLY!” and so on.The Akumatized person is clutching their ears and beaten by a very confused Rena rouge Queen bee and Carapace as Hawkmoth does a happy dance around his lair “THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!”

So yeah sorry if this is rushed but wanted to get this done

Any questions or anything just let me know

Thank you again your all amazing and thanks so much for reading =)

Miraculous ladybug AU where Gabriel/Hawkmoth is shipping Adrienette , so after Mr Pigeon Gabe see’s Mari has a crush on Adrien (because it is obvious to EVERYONE except Adrien) and he see’s how talented she is and is genuinely impressed with her standing up to Chloe, he just decides ‘you are my future daughter law’.

He keeps dropping hints to Adrien often that if he wants to invite a friend to the fashion show one who may appreciate it and may be interested in the clothes and designs he can…Adrien ends up bringing his entire class.

Even when he’s Hawkmoth he’s shipping, like in Animan the Akuma butterfly just stops and watches the earpiece event like ‘what the fuck is happening here?’ and only leaves when its like ok phew he likes the reporter girl time to Akumatise people. When he finds out about the scarf he literally bangs his head repeatedly on the desk because that would have sped this up so much, also that scarf is really good he needs to make sure Adrien marries Marinette.

In Frozer the Akuma is just in the ice rink for a bit while  Hawkmoth is just ranting like “THIS IS NOT FENCING!! ADRIEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ?WHO IS THAT BOY? WHY IS HE SKATING WITH MY FUTURE DAUGHTER IN LAW? ADRIEN YOU GO AFTER YOUR FUTURE WIFE RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!! DON’T MAKE ME STOP MY EVIL SCHEMING AND BE A PARENT”

Literally every time Adrien says Mari is just a friend Gabriel walks into another room and screams.

If Mari every confessed and was rejected you would just see an Akuma floating by and hear Hawkmoth’s scream in the distance if this happened and Adrien said he liked Ladybug Hawkmoth would start making Akuma’s specifically to set up Chat and Ladybug because if those 2 become a couple then Adrien can just move on and marry Marinette already. Or he’ll kill the heroes and that works to.

If she gets rejected Mai see’s a Akuma and is going to run but Hawkmoth just askes “do you want to punch him?” “ huh um no” “are you sure?”  Mari just get’s super confused.

So yeah Gabriel as ultimate Adrienette shipper AU

Thanks for reading :) 

EXTRA: Now with part 2

The Lost Princess of the Lost City - Part 1

Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV I had a lot of Wulfenbach family feels after reading the first Girl Genius novel, and this just kind of poured out of me. Kind of a fix-it fic, I guess? People actually talk to each other and so good things happen. I will definately be writing more of this, I just love these idiots so much. (Also, credit for a lot of the details of Gil’s backstory goes to the absolutely amazing fic Well Met at Mechanicsburg. Seriously. Go read it.)

The Fun Kind - Part 1

More Girl Genius fic! This one was inspired primarily by Adversary over on Ao3, but I’m honestly not sure I can write such a convincing evil!Agatha. Mine seems to be a little closer to chaotic neutral. I have no idea if I’m going to write any more on this, but I do have a rough plan for a lot more.
