The Messenger by Ordonpumpkin

In a recent conversation Ladybug had jokingly suggested to Chat Noir that if Alya knew both of their identities they could contact each other through her. When Marinette shares this conversation with her best friend, Alya thinks it's an idea that they should consider for real. Since it's about his identity, the final decision is left up to Chat Noir. But he'll have plenty of opportunities to talk to Alya, since Ladybug has the flu, and she's filling in as Scarabella.

Concussions and Babysitting by kittybug_CN

Marinette leaves Alya in charge of babysitting the kwamis for a few days. Soon after she gives Alya the miracle box, Marinette falls and hits her head, obtaining a major concussion with slight memory loss. When she wakes up in the hospital and everyone is treating her weirdly, suspicions poke at her. Inconstancies, flashes of memories, and way too much pampering leads Marinette on a hunt to figure out what was going on. Along the way, secrets are revealed. Secrets that just might lead to the final battle against Shadow Moth. or Marinette is concussed and everyone's treating her weird...something's not right.

Thanks, but no by @pauliestorylover

Oh, bird that signals the break of dawn, Couldn't you have time stop at this moment? Shooting star that gently goes through the morning, Please fall down here oh, fly me to the star Please take me along, oh, fly me to the star

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Seol hong. Just know you mean a lot to me. 💛

Cheese in the trap is one of the greatest Manhwas..

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

Infrastructure and citified heat islands also very much play a factor. And here the angle you’re at on earth also makes it worse. The sun being lower on the horizon can double the amount of solar energy affecting your house. The sun beating through your windows for 16+ hours a day when you have a house built for cold and no AC adds to the misery.

But what I’m talking about here is how hot you feel in your body when experiencing solar radiation from a lower angle. On the upside the sun’s rays have to pass through more atmosphere, weakening the UV strength, hence why populations that migrated north eons ago lost melanin (you still need SPF though). And in general the warming effect on the atmosphere is lessened. The warming effect on your body is magnified. To the tune of 10-20 degrees (yes Fahrenheit) above ambient. Winter gear prioritizes insulating your torso because that’s where all your vital organs are. It follows that the sun beating on your chest and back warms you up fast and with little relief except to get in the shade.

My eye doctor also told me living in Alaska made you more likely to get cataracts younger because the low-angle sun gets directly in your eyes in the summer (unless you’re big on sunglasses) and the snow and ice in winter reflect a lot of UV back up, doubling your exposure. Though the prevalence of cataracts in Alaska and other far-north locales is contributed to by other factors, notably poverty and the resulting lack of medical care. And is still not as likely as in people who live in equatorial climes or high altitudes and get the super-strength UV exposure all year round.
