MARICHAT ON INSTAGRAM

So let’s say Lila shows her art to Nathaniel who upon seeing her work is instantly suspicious, as he recognizes a few pieces but Lila just claims she was the original person who does it. Another red flag he notices is that all the different artworks have significantly different art styles as they’ve been pulled from several different artists.

So let’s say Lila shows her art to Nathaniel who upon seeing her work is instantly suspicious, as he recognizes a few pieces but Lila just claims she was the original person who does it. Another red flag he notices is that all the different artworks have significantly different art styles as they’ve been pulled from several different artists.  

It got much harder to rationalize away the differences when he caught a glimpse of an oddly colored part of a background. Only a shade or two off, but it was there. And it looked like it might cover a signature? Now that he was thinking about it, only a few of the art Lila had shown the class had a signature.

It was harder, but it was Lila. They’d talked a lot about how horrible it felt to have your hard work stolen like that. She wouldn’t steal from anyone. Right?

Nathaniel shuddered, he hated the idea that someone would try claiming his work as their own. He made extra sure that his signature was on the picture and would be hard to cover when he posted it to insta. He was proud of it and no art thief would stop that.

And he was right to be proud. It quickly became one of his most popular posts. So when he got to school on Monday and saw Lila showing off his work, claiming she had done it, he snapped at her.

Of course, most of the class took Lila’s side. But when Alix and Marinette got there and saw what was happening they took his side immediately.

“How can you prove it’s yours?” Kim asked.

A chorus of agreement swept through the room. Nathaniel took a deep breath, his hands were trembling, and pulled out his sketchbook. Flipping to the right page, he stalked over to Lila’s desk and slammed the book down in front of her.

There it was. The original sketch. Clear in view of the whole class. Nathaniel’s work.

Lila peeked out from behind her fingers when the class went deathly silent and Alya pulled away from her.

urrgh he cute but my anatomy isn’t working rn

@ladyblargh how dare you waste 2 hours of my time

This was just an idea I had after the finale. Don’t know where it would go or what would happen. Nothing much happens, just I think it’d set up a story I haven’t thought of yet. 

_____________________

Adrien walked into the hotel which despite playing in for most of his life still was a strange place to him. As a child all the staff had changed so frequently, he had stopped making the effort to memorise names. The wall colours, desk arrangements, and even the name of the hotel Audrey would change on a whim if no one stopped her. It made it sort of sad to him that it had stayed so constant since he had reunited with Chloe. A certain sign Audrey had been gone a while. He shook that thought away though as quickly as it came, instead imagining Andre growing a spine against his wife and declaring no more remodelling. Still felt like a strange land though.

Ridiculous one off episodes people would hate me for making: 

Season 4

- Jagged Stone’s car breaking down outside the school, seeing Marinette enters decides to just attend classes for a day. He’s not that old and can totally blend in. Totally. He continues to insist as he puts on Nino’s hat and Kim’s hoodie (both offered to him) that this is going to work. It just so happens he walks in as Lila is telling the latest Jagged story. He still tries to be a student and not “blow his cover” while trying to out her

Season 5

‘just saw cats’

and don't get me wrong, care about the animals! i care about the animals! they're MY native animals, they're part of my culture and home and they're living breathing creatures.

but there's so so so many things in place already to help animals, shelters and charities and sanctuaries, and by all means help them more, but the government does not care about aboriginal australians. shit, scomo doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone who isn't a white cishet able bodied christian.

aboriginal australians are losing our homes, you say people aren't endangered but WE ARE. we make up a tiny percentage of our country, and a vast majority of us live in poverty and unsafe areas. not only are we losing our homes, we're losing our identity, our lives, our families. this land means more to us than it ever will to people crying over the koalas. the koalas mean more to us than they ever will to you.

remember who lived alongside those animals for thousands of years.

there's a million things i could say about why we need help more than the animals, but in the end white people will care more about what's small and fluffy than people of colour, especially people whose land they're living on, right?

4,000 people forced to shelter on the beach during midday daylight hours as the fires surround them in Victoria. The fire has since passed the beach but many homes were lost and they are still stuck on that beach.

Some families took boats to the water for safety:

The near entirety of east gippsland was evacuated on Monday and many areas remain inaccessible. That’s 30,000+ locals and assorted tourists

Similar evacuations play out in Nowra, NSW with the local population evacuating to the beaches as the skies turn black (it’s 4pm!).

and again at Bateman’s Bay…and again and again across the country.

The extent of the fires is creating dry thunderstorms - all the risks of lightning and none of the benefits of rain.

Sixty fires started today, adding to the two hundred that started on Monday. This is a map of all NEW fires in the past 24 hours

The Mogo zoo had to evacuate - thankfully the animals survived the immediate fire. People fleeing Mogo were cut off by the fires from the evacuation centres

Even those not directly in the path of the fires are experiencing the effects of the smoke as it drifts across town and effects health.

All these photos and snippets are from 31 December 2019, one day on Australia. There are more, but I’m getting depressed looking at them, trying to decide what tumblr would find interesting to share and raise awareness versus what won’t. Not a judgement call I like making.

It’s currently 6:30pm, so there’s still 5.5 hours left of this day for more to come. These fires are still going and the people in these photos are still not safe.

You can see before/after photos here.

Australia is only four weeks into summer (”fire season”) but the bushfires began 16 weeks ago - in the second week of spring.

chat tried to kiss ladybug twice but backed off when she said no? great, but it shouldn’t have happened that second time

and he doesn’t have to physically try to touch her all the time for him to still be annoying and pushy, which he was for a long time. ladybug doesnt say anything against his behavior though because the narrative doesn’t think he’s wrong

this is why i ultimately disliked felix’s role. outside of introducing more secret mysterious agreste/rich people drama the show does not need, he was used as a prop to show how amazing adrien is in comparison. its applicable in terms of how nice adrien is and that he doesnt let bitterness about his mom consume him, but it deflects from the flaws he does have and the mistakes he has made. in showing a character massively overstepping a line, it distracts us from the character who would walk the edge of it.
