My Kind of MariChat

Chat and Marinette hanging out as friends and talking about their crush struggles with each other.

Chat not saying who he likes, because he knows that Mari is best friends with the Ladyblog girl and he can’t risk Ladybug finding out how he feels through the Internet. How tacky!

Mari not saying who she likes, because she’s afraid Chat will see her love for Adrien as just a celebrity crush. Also she has a tendency to malfunction when speaking his name aloud.

Chat giving Mari advice about how to calm her anxiety and be more confident when talking to her crush.

Mari giving Chat advice about how to come across as more genuine and less flirty when talking to his crush.

The two being 100% oblivious.

The two practicing on each other and totally NOT blushing  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The two encouraging and pushing each other to ask their crush out.

The two making a pact to do so the very next day.

Mari going up to Adrien at school and remaining 50% calm as she asks him out for ice cream.

Adrien internally screaming because he didn’t realize Mari had a crush on HIM and now he feels like a jerk.

“OH, uh that sounds like it’d be a lot of fun, but I can’t eat ice cream… model diet, you know?”

Marinette trying to recover. “Oh, right. Well, uh…what about a movie?”

Marinette regretting her decision the moment he says “Look Marinette-”

Adrien trying. “You really are an incredible girl and it means a lot to me that you’d even ask. I just- I already have feelings for someone else.”

Marinette accidentally blurting out, “Who? Chloe?”

Adrien not knowing whether to laugh or gag. “No, no, no! She uh, she doesn’t go here. You wouldn’t know her.”

Marinette thinking that it’s probably some gorgeous model.

Marinette sending only one text to Alya instead of her usual 50.

“He likes someone else.”

An akumatized villain showing up at the absolute WORST time.

Chat Noir noticing that his lady is off her game for some reason.

Ladybug noticing that Chat is making fewer puns for some reason.

Chat pulling her away from the press after the battle.

“My lady, I need to tell you something… I love you.”

Marinette’s gut clenching because HOW did she not realize Chat had been talking about HER and then she’s reminded of Adrien’s rejection and she’s overwhelmed by hurt and confusion and guilt and-

BEEP BEEP go the earrings.

“Chat… this isn’t a good time. I- I have to go.” 

“Then meet me tonight on the Arc de Triomphe at 11 o’clock.”

Ladybug just nodding before she swings away.

Chat trying not to be discouraged.

Marinette checking her phone after she detransforms.

Alya: “Oh girl. I’m so sorry.”

Alya: “Are you okay?”

Alya: “I’m mandating an emergency sleepover tonight. Just you and me.”

Crap.

Marinette trying to “go to bed” early so that she can sneak out and meet with Chat.

Alya making her stay up because it’s a Friday night and “you promised me we’d watch Moulin Rouge”.

Chat somehow managing to set up a candlelit dinner on the Arc de Triomphe because he’s a hopeless romantic.

Chat pacing back and forth with droopy ears as it gets later and later.

Chat growing incredibly disheartened as he picks at the food and thinks about how he rejected Marinette only to be rejected by Ladybug.

Mari worrying about Chat and crying over Adrien.

Chat finally heading home around 1:00 AM but stopping when he sees Mari on her balcony. 

Mari feeling awful and tearing up when she sees Chat.

Chat feeling awful when he sees how upset Mari is.

The two hugging and crying and realizing how much they hate seeing the other hurting.

The two trying to comfort and encourage each other.

Mari telling Chat how funny and brave and kind he is.

Chat telling Mari how talented and beautiful and endearing she is.

Mari and Chat looking into each others eyes, each wondering if they’ve been pursuing the wrong person all along.

Chat leaning in slowly and kissing Mari.

Mari kissing back.

Alya opening the trapdoor and screaming.

The End (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

seriously, fuck the false dichotomy between Science and The Arts. as if capital-S Science isn’t an art that requires creativity, perseverance, patience, and skilled observation. as if The Arts don’t require rigor, discipline, practice, and attention to detail. as if both aren’t cultural structures that stand on foundations of sexist, racist, capitalist hierarchy. as if they both can’t be used for purposes of enrichment and revolution. i am so fucking over this idea of presenting science and art as opposites, when they have so much more in common than people think.

MC: how does this dress look?

707: amazing, I wish I could pull that off

MC: go ahead

707: what?

MC: what?

Moana + characters being aware that they are in a Disney movie

Kim: Max is on a family trip so while he’s gone I’m gonna cut the sleeves off of all my shirts.

Alix: Why???

Kim: He’s pretty much 85% of my impulse control.

This comic strip nails why poor Americans aren’t just “asking for handouts.”

America’s poor don’t have it easy.

They’re subjected to a range of false stereotypes: They’re accused of being lazy and of abusing drugs, among others. Researcher Paul C. Gorski examined these perceptions in his 2013 book, “Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap,” and found these notions aren’t based in reality.

Random Fact #770

Orphaned baby bats are often swaddled tightly like teeny burritos to mimic being cuddled by mom and help ease separation anxiety.

They also seem to find pacifiers soothing.
