Sparky’s Hub

I hc that Alix is Aroace, thus she doesnt do romance. Marinette doesn’t believe that, so she tries to hook her up with any boy available, because maybe she’s just confuse and love always conquers all. It had gotten to a point where Alix had enough and snaps at Marinette and ends their friendship right then and there. Marinette still wonders why Alix is angry at her when all she is doing is helping her find her love.

I can definitely see that happening. It's very much a "you just haven't met the right person yet."

Like, even if she realizes Alix doesn't like guys, what's stopping her from just doing the same thing but pushing different girls at her??

Marinette knew what she was talking about. Everyone wanted a romantic relationship! Because then that leads to a sexual relationship when they’re older and they can get married and have three kids and pets like her and Adrien are going to have!

Then all of her friends would get married, too! She, Alya, Myléne and Rose or Juleka (depending on who has the baby), and maybe Zoé could get pregnant at the same time so their kids could grow up together, be friends, date each other, get married, and have kids, too, so they could all be one big happy family!

How could anyone not want that?

It’s why she’s so desperately trying to help Alix realize she’s not aromantic or asexual. Those things just aren’t real. She’s either gay or straight and just waiting for the right person.

Maybe, it’s fine if she doesn’t wanna have sex, but there are methods for her to have a baby with her future husband or wife. She just needs to find her the right person.

Marinette’s been leaving pamphlets around in places she knows Alix would see. She found this amazing forum for people who were so obviously confused about their sexualities. So many of them went to this amazing camp out of the country and came back wanting relationships! There were a ton of positive reviews and pictures of their families, so this was definitely something Alix needed.

And who knows? Maybe she could help Max, too. Sure, he was a little… But everyone is able to find some sort of love.

Then she could set Marc’s two classmates up with someone. She knew the girl was demiromantic or whatever, so she definitely had a chance to convince her to just go for it! She felt like she knew Adrien for years when she first laid eyes on him! She just needed to find that right girl and she’d instantly knew they were meant to be!

She wasn’t sure about the boy, though. He was kind of like their class’ version of Alix, but with the right help, he’ll realize being in a relationship can be a beautiful thing and then stop dragging his classmate down with all that nonsense about needing an emotional connection to fall in love. When you know, you know!

But back to Alix. Marinette just knew it! She’d be happy like she and Adrien are!

“WHICH FUCKING CRACKHEAD PIECE PF SHIT THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY?” Alix thundered, waving a crumpled pamphlet in her fist. The locker room went silent. “HUH?! FUCKING TALK OR I’M GONNA START BREAKING HEADS!”

“Alix, what are you-”

“THIS!” She shoved the pamphlet in Nathaniel’s chest, forcing him to pick them up and read through them while she continued to yell at anyone who looked suspicious. His anger rose the more he read.

“Are you fucking serious right now?” He hissed and crumpled the pamphlet into a ball. “Who’s sick idea of a joke is this?! THESE ARE CONVERSION THERAPY PAMPHLETS!”

The room somehow got more quiet except for Alix’s angry muttering.

“I swear to God, I am gonna KILL whoever keeps leaving that crap everywhere! I keep finding that shit in all my usual spots! I thought it was just some asshole, but NOOOO! Apparently, someone here has a problem with AroAce people! Specifically ME!”

Max pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to regulate himself before he spoke. He was angry, too, but more yelling wouldn’t get anything done.

“Nathaniel… Let me see those.” Nathaniel wordlessly handed him the pamphlets. He unballed them and read about the practices these people do in the name of “curing confused people.” The more he read, the more he was able to break it all down and felt bile rising in his throat. They actually made people…

Sighing, Max sat on one of the benches, just staring down at the floor while his leg bounced. Kim took the spot next to him and squeezed his shoulder to help ground him.

“This person is fucking sick,” Ivan mutters, balling and unballing his fists.

Rose approached Alix once she was calmer. “Alix? Maybe we can walk with you until we find out who left those?”

“Rose, I don’t-”

“You do,” Juleka told her firmly. “If it’s someone in the school, that’s even more dangerous. Just… We don’t want you being alone when there’s someone here thinking like that.”

She knew they wouldn’t let this go. So… She sighed and that was more than enough of an answer for Rose who promptly hugged her. “Okay, now we’re hugging,” she said with a slight smile.

“But make no mistake,” Rose chirped, but her tone sounded ominous. “When I find this person, I will introduce them to the business ended of my ceramic unicorn head. And she has a VERY sharp horn.”

“…”

Kim snickered. “From the mouth of Rose Lavillant, everybody.” Everyone was able to laugh, slowly forgetting about their earlier anger.

Alix allowed herself to relax. She’d be fine.

Alya glared at her phone screen. “Holy shit.”

“What is it?” Marinette asked, leaning over to look at her phone.

“Some asshole left conversion therapy pamphlets in Alix’s locker.” Alya’s glare hardened, not noticing the strange look on her friend’s face. “Some people are so disgusting. Do you have any idea what those places do to kids?!”

“What places?” Adrien asked as he made his way over to their table. He routinely kissed Marinette without thinking and took a bite of his apple.

“Some asshole put conversion therapy pamphlets in Alix’s locker earlier,” she hissed and showed him the screen.

Adrien furrowed his brow and took the phone to look at the picture of the crumpled pamphlets. Okay, everyone’s clearly angry, but… “What’s conversion therapy?”

“Dude, those places are nightmares,” Nino muttered, taking off his cap to run his fingers through his hair. “They torture queer people, mostly kids sent there by their lousy families who can’t accept them. They prick their fingers with needles, do electroshock therapy, force them to do “gender-approved” activities which is some sexist bullshit, and emotionally abuse them by forcing them to “admit their sins.””

The more Adrien listened, the more his face fell. How could anyone possibly think that was helping kids?

“Oh, and most of the time? Those freak shows aren’t even run by real therapists,” Alya added. “They’re run by religious nuts who can’t stand to see queer people happy!”

Zoé glanced over as she was walking with her tray. “Oh, God. You mean conversion therapy? You know some assholes are still running places like thag in America? Years back, some Mormon couple sent their daughter to one of those places run out of someone’s house. The assholes forced her to stand wearing a backpack full of rocks and forbade her from going to school unless she “complied!” She managed to escape, though, but she’s got back problems now.”

Adrien’s mouth opened and closed. “Why would someone want Alix exposed to that?”

Alya shook her head. “Because some people are just idiots who want the world full of straight people with three kids as white picket fences.”

Marinette fidgeted with her napkin. “Well… Yeah, that all sounds bad, but… Maybe this person thought they were trying to help?” She felt multiple eyes on her. “I-I’m not saying their methods are okay, but the people running the camps know what they’re doing, because a lot of the people do come out happier, and start families! And who doesn’t want a family of their own? And, you know, there’s nothing wrong with wanting three kids— I certainly want three kids with Adrien—”

Adrien choked on his apple. Kim crossed the room in seconds and smacked him on the back to cough it up on his tray.

“Wh-what?” Adrien managed to say, eyes wide. One kid, he could handle, but THREE? Actually, he wasn’t even completely sure he wanted any kids.

Marinette blinked, stunned by his reaction. “W-well, yeah! When we get married-”

“Marriage?!” Nino exclaimed, startled. “That’s years from now, Nettie. I-I mean-”

“Wait.”

Juleka’s voice somehow cut through the chaos. “… We’re you just defending conversion therapy?” Marinette’s earlier words suddenly registered.

“I’m just saying it can’t be all bad if the program works! Maybe some people had bad experiences at ones that weren’t licensed, but if there are camps that actually help people, that’s no reason to badmouth all of them.”

Everyone just stared at her with varying looks of horror, disgust, and disappointment.

“… You left those pamphlets in my locker,” Alix accused, making her jump slightly.

“W-well, it’s just everyone here is so happy in their relationship! I know you keep saying you don’t wanna date anyone because you’re aromantic, or whatever, but I know you just haven’t met the right person yet!”

“What is wrong with, Marinette?!” Myléne yelled.

Marinette sputtered. Why couldn’t they see she was trying to help? “Nothing’s wrong with ME! Alix is the one that won’t give dating a try! She just rejects the idea of romance and no one sees how weird that is! Everyone should want to be in a relationship, to have someone to love and hold them, to marry, have kids and grow old together-”

Ivan grimaced. “Are you hearing yourself right now? What makes you think any of us even want kids? Sure, I think about marrying Myléne sometimes, but those are my thoughts, I don’t pressure her like you’re doing right now!”

Myléne smirks at him. “Marriage, huh?”

He blushed. “Later, mouse.”

“I’m not pressuring anybody! Everyone wants to date, get married, and have kids! It’s natural!” Marinette yelled.

“Okay, if it’s sooo natural,” Nathaniel sarcastically said. “What about me and Marc? You’re clearly so invested in straight couples, but what about queer couples?”

“Of course, you can have kids-”

“And what if we don’t?” Rose asked. “What if Juleka and I just adopt a bunch of black cats and put them in pink collars, and that’s our family?”

“Guys,” Nino interrupted. “Good points, but we’re forgetting something here.” He turned to Adrien who seemed to have lost some of his color. “Adrien… You heard Marinette just now. Do you wanna get married and have kids with her?”

“What?! Of course he-”

“Shut it. Dude?”

Adrien opened and closed his mouth. He was still fifteen. Who thought about marriage and kids at fifteen? And three kids? Did Marinette actually expect for them to… Would he even be a good dad? He barely knew how to take care of himself without private chefs, maids, and laundry teams, but she expected him to take care of three kids?

Oh, God, and marriage. He never even thought about that, that was all Father’s plans. Get married to sone rich girl, make the families even richer, and have babies to continue the bloodline. It was all everyone talked about FOR him and expected of him when… When he never wanted any of that.

Be tuned back in and could hear overlapping arguments. Zoé and Juleka were holding Alix back from attacking Marinette who had a bruise forming on her cheek while Alya was trying to explain something to a teacher and Rose was yelling at Marinette and pointing an accusing finger at her.

“You don’t understand!” Marinette screamed and her voice sounded so wrong. “We’re all supposed to have kids, and they can be friends, date each other, get married, and Emma Louis and Hugo will-”

“Shut! Up!” Alix thundered. “You are disgusting, Marinette! You are so disgusting! No one wants to follow your creepy heteronormative bullshit! I am not dating anyone! I am not marrying anyone, having sex, or having kids! And that whole fantasy you have in YOUR head of conversion camps making happy straight people who will marry straight people and have perfect straight babies is so wrong!”

“THEY ARE HAPPY! They were just confused and didn’t understand what they wanted because everyone’s always talking about aromanticism like it’s so natural!”

“BITCH!” Alix broke free from Zoé’s grip, grabbed and Orange, and threw it directly at her forehead. “What isn’t natural is your obsession over having kids with Adrien like it’s your ultimate life goal! Who says he even wants kids?! Did you even ask him? You’re so obsessed with a big happy family, so you must’ve had that conversation with him dozens of times.

Marinette rubbed her forehead where the orange hit her. “O-of course he wants kids! I know he does!” He has to want kids as much as she does. He’d love Emma, Louis and Hugo, he’d take care of them, he’d convince them to model her kids clothing line and they’d have fun like he did modeling, he’d introduce them to more appropriate activities other than fencing because Emma shouldn’t be handling swords and she didn’t want Louis and Hugo getting so sweaty in those bulky uniforms when soccer was perfectly fine for them, and she could sew Emma’s cheerleader uniform or ballet outfit, then they’d meet Alya and Nino’s kids, they’d be friends, date, get married, and their families would be friends forever-

“I don’t want kids.”

And her world just cracked.

She slowly turned her head toward Adrien. He looked away, unable to meet her gaze. After a beat, she laughed. “What?”

“I said I don’t want kids,” he repeated. “And after… After what you did to Alix and how you could defend something that hurts innocent people, I’m not sure I wanna date you anymore.” That time, he looked at her.

“No. No, you’re just caught up in the moment! Everyone’s yelling and confusing you-”

He slammed his hands down on the table. “I’M NOT A CHILD, MARINETTE! OKAY?! Stop treating me like I can’t make my own decisions and opinions! I know what I want! I know I don’t want kids! I know the person I was dating is able to somehow defend conversion therapy! And I know you are not the person I want to date! Alix is supposed to be your friend! So is Max! But apparently, you have a problem with people who are aromantic and asexual and would go so far as to recommend they be abused in order to be “fixed!” How do you expect me to be comfortable dating someone like that?!”

“Adrien, you don’t understand! They need this!”

“Then I guess Rose and Juleka, and Marc and Nathaniel need it too, huh? Because if your idea of perfection is straight couples having babies, then you think they need therapy, too?”

“No! They’re capable of loving people! Alix and Max aren’t!”

“Oh, my God, my head hurts,” Nino muttered, rubbing his temples.

“I DO love people,” Alix asserted. “I love my dad, I love my idiot brother, I love my friends, and I used to love you, but now I don’t.”

Max added, “The same goes for me as well. Marinette, you are incredibly toxic. The fact you think Alix and I are incapable of loving anyone due to our preferences and the fact you think romantic love is the only kind of love is proof of that.”

“I am NOT toxic! You’re the ones who are confused! There is literally nothing stopping you from dating people and finally being happy! But you’d rather spend your lives alone and unloved with no one to wake up next to every morning and tell you how much they love you right before your kids run into the room! THAT is love! REAL love! Otherwise, what is even your life if you don’t have a partner?”

For a moment, no one says anything.

Marinette smirked triumphantly, thinking she finally had them cornered. They’d finally see she was right, come to their senses, and she’d forgive Alix for hitting her and help her find a date. She’d have to be less abrasive if she really wanted to date someone, but the girls could help her with that. Then she’d bring Adrien back to his senses and they could have a long talk about their future and she’d tell him all of the beautiful things about marriage and kids. Besides, he’s a guy. Guys want sex with their partners. He’d have his fun and the end result would be three healthy and beautiful kids. And with his genes, they’d look perfect! Who wouldn’t want to date them when they got older?

“… Fuck you, Marinette,” Alix finally uttered before leaving.

What?! No! That’s not supposed to happen!

“Consider what friendship we had over,” Max said and followed her out.

“Unfollow, unfriend, block, and unsubscribe,” Alya listed while tapping on her phone.

“I’m out, too.” Nino glared at her before hooking his arm around Alya and walking her out. He cast a sad look at Adrien over his shoulder before heading out the door.

Then Myléne, “Don’t ever call me.”

Ivan, “Same goes for me.”

Nathaniel, “You make me sick.”

Zoé, “And I thought Chloé was bad.”

Rose, “I’m returning all of my friendship bracelets.”

Juleka, “Luka dodged a bullet.”

Kim, “Never talk to Max or Alix ever again.”

Other students filed out of the cafeteria, unable to even be in the same room as her. Marc narrowed his eyes as he passed with some of his classmates. Two in particular glared the hardest.

That just left her and Adrien. But surely he’d never side with those traitors! He loved her!

But then he stood and said, “We’re done,” and left to catch up with the others.

Went a little off track than what I had planned, but whatever!

AroAce Pride, my loves!

As for what can happen next?

Marinette still thinks she’s in the right and confiscates the Miraculous. When she thinks Char Noir, Argos, and Ryuko will be on her side, they’re just as disgusted by Ladybug’s aphobic ramblings and make it clear they want nothing to do with her

Alya dismantles the Ladyblog and centers it around Chat Noir, the supportive hero Paris needs who recently came out as AroAce, to Ladybug’s anger since Chat Noir was her backup plan, and Luka blocked her

Twelve inmates entered before me.

Two entered after.

The asylum gained neither its first youthful prisoner nor its last when my cell was filled.

Who am I?

Can you guys believe this is the last part of Worst Experiences with Gauche? Maybe... just MAYBE I might do one for everyone's worst experiences with Beau.

Hey all! Been recently getting back into a fandom of my childhood, with some random headcanons. It’s been a while, so these are mostly from my own head. I was born in the 2000’s, so I’m a G1 girly, but no hate if you love G3! Enjoy! @booksrbetterthanpeople @imsparky2002

The others trying REALLY hard to keep Frankie away from certain parts of the internet

The ghouls can pretty much reassemble her without looking at this point

Jackson moderates the student group chat and Holt is constantly getting kicked out and banned (last time it was because he sent a bass-boosted version of the Backyardigans theme song at two in the morning.)

Heath simps every time Abbey makes a show of her yeti strength. He damn near dies whenever she picks him up

Abbey and Heath’s friends are not above using them as a cooler/heater when necessary

Heath and Sirena bond as ADHD buddies

Manny is actually surprisingly good with kids. Whenever younger siblings come to visit the school, he doesn’t mind letting them use him as a jungle gym lol

Anyone who has cooked with Deuce will tell you it’s a scarring experience. The man turns into a snake-haired Gordon Ramsey.

The only exception to this is Cleo. He’s very patient and understanding with her

Operetta is a shockingly good rapper

Twyla sleeps with her eyes open. The others found this out during a school lock-in and got the crap scared out of them

Clawdeen and Clawd were fully ready to intimidate whoever Howleen was dating…until they find out it’s Twyla and are just like “Nah, you cool”.

Draculaura will sometimes shriek like a bat when she’s really angry. She also curses in Romanian. Clawd thinks both are adorable

Cleo is definitely a secret anime fan and you can’t change my mind. She bonds with Ghoulia over it

Ghoulia keeps aspirin in her purse because of all the stupid crap she constantly gets pulled into

Toralei will never tell anyone this..but she gets spooked by cucumbers

People running to hide behind Iris when Manny is mad at them because seeing her calms him down

Iris was able to fully pick Manny up and move him out of her way when she was angry once. It both terrified him and made him fall that deeper in love with her

He’s still super protective of her though. Anyone who upsets her in any way is getting thrown out a second story window (Also definitely has a bit of a jealous streak. Make eyes (heh) at Iris at your peril.)

Iris has every constellation memorized and knows every different iteration of the stories behind them. She often infodumps to her friends and they all think it’s cute

Lagoona loves learning different languages. I feel like she can speak at least three or four

Deuce and Viperine’s relationship as cousins consists of highly personal insults and spamming each other with stupid memes

Porter is constantly texting Spectra stupid, flirty puns and jokes. The others can tell when this happens because of how she giggles and blushes

Crescent and Toralei do NOT get along at first because they compete for Clawdeen’s attention. They eventually come to an understanding

Batsy and Venus have mutual crushes on each other and you cannot change my mind

Scarah sometimes wishes she could turn her telepathy off. There are some things she would prefer not to know about other people

Billy has definitely used his disappearing to skip class

... Again, Miss Gauche (as an evil demon-like entity who has been teaching students at Dupont for years and being strict AF) has been abusive on numerous occasions. Be it physically, psychologically, emotionally, or verbally.

So if you are sensitive to abuse... I recommend that you not read the info below.

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

Ngl, I'll never get over them and they're giving off some subtle vibes. So, here's a bit of sugar for them. Happy Pride!

@booksrbetterthanpeople @msweebyness @imsparky2002 @nerdy-chocomallow @thefcguy @fayflutter

Ray: Gender non-conforming Gay (He/Him)

Loïc: Demiboy Panromantic (He/They)

Nelson: Trans male Pansexual (He/Him)

At the beginning, fearing of not being accepted and judgements from their peers, they cover it with heartbreaking tactics to avoid 'fake' sympathies

In reality, they're just scared and longing for acceptance

Prem invites them to the Pride event to help them feel more welcome and open

Reluctant at first, but once they arrived, all their fear and repression was replaced with euphoria and love

Nelson spend most of the event with Prem. Ray and Loïc are his wingmen

Ray met up with the Fashion Squad (Marinette, Reshma, Austin A, and Eri) and finally opened up his feminine interest and trying out makeup

Loïc nearly fainted when they saw Ray all dolled up

Loïc consumes the most sugar inhumanly possible. Took an hour to find him and calm them down

Overall, they had the best time with everyone, feeling like they've finally belong

That's all for tonight, if there's anything you like to add. Be sure to reblog. Happy Pride Month guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

Ray: I know.

Zoé: You still suck.

A video game character from the popular game, Sugar Rush, who looks up to Demolition Denise after they stood up for her against the other racers

Has some self esteem issues due to being a “Glitch,” but KirAnna and Chrisane got her back

Occasionally gets rides on Demolition Denise’s shoulders because she likes feeling tall

Everything she owns is made of candy

Chrisane

A fairy godbrother in training

He looks up to Nino, but is a bit jealous when people talk about how he mastered his magic at such a young age and he can’t even turn a pumpkin into a carriage

He’s getting there, though

Don’t tell his brother, but he loses his wand a lot. Little does he know, Nino loses his sometiemd, too

Ethan Le Beak

The sneakiest pirate in Neverland, even more so than Captain Ray

Simon Pan has had to put him in timeout several times, but one thing they can agree on is that Captain Ray sucks

He’s just mad because no one respects his authority

Also, no one talk about his big nose. That’s his sore spot, and he will retaliate

Krisii Cat

A cat-human hybrid who wears an eyepatch for dramatic effect… Or does he? No one knows what’s under it

Gets along well with the Neverland Pirate Kids, especially Captain Marsh

He’s really good at setting the mood with his stories and makes the most harmless thing sound like a horror movie plot

Never let him tell stories in the dark. You won’t sleep

Captain Marsh

A Neverland native and also among some of the youngest pirates

Simon Pan, Lacey Bell, Jance, and Clairzy freed him from an ice prison and he was immediately loyal to them

He prefers the cold air, so he’s getting used to his new surroundings

The others prefer the “warm” ships when they hang out, but Captain Tucker and Bailaf/Margolaf are fine with his. Kiranna strangely finds it comforting

Tiggdrick

A tiger-human hybrid from the mythical woods at the edge of the city where rabbits live in trees and kangaroos are there for some reason

Like to bounce… A lot

This kid has got a lot of energy to burn off, so expect some shenanigans

And maybe some accident prone moments

Bailaf/Margolaf

*Looks at MarcElsa* Mommy?

Yes, MarcElsa made her before the incident. Then she came to life after he left for DuPont

KirAnna doesn’t know MarcElsa made her, but has memories of making a snow kid that looks like her

Bailaf doesn’t know where he came from, but that’s not gonna stop him figuring it out. Until then, he’s got a new friend in KirAnna

Do NOT let this child out in the sun without a weather protection spell

Princess Winifred

A glamorous pirate princess with a wand that produces rainbow

She accompanies Simon Pan and Lacey Bell in foiling Captain Ray’s plans with the other Neverland Kids

Red Babette is one of her best friends from Neverland

Together, they’ve located seven hidden treasure chests

Red Babette

The sassiest and most fabulous young pirate in Neverland

She occasionally helps Simon Pan mess with Captain Ray

Roses are kind of her thing

She’s also very particular about the shade of red she wears. Not to dark, not too light

Nadine McStuffins

She has a magic stethoscope that brings toys to life, so you know she has fun

She’s the resident doctor of the class, mostly for broken toys, but they have witnessed her reset a dislocated shoulder

No one wants to know where she learned that

Mme. Yendeliev Sid put her in touch with DuPont’s magical healing nurse, so she’s got a future internship on the way

Heathinda

She’s not bad, she just wants to watch the world burn

Also, she just wants to spite her parents, especially her mom. Siguel’s helping her with her issues

She can be nice when she’s not cursing your bloodline or turning you into a rock

She and Chrisane occasionally lose their wands

Captain Tucker

A polar bear-human hybrid

Krisii is his first mate from when they were part of an all kids team of oceanographers

Not living underwater 24/7 is taking some getting used to for him, but his boyfriend is making things easy

He gets warm easily, so he hangs out around Bailaf/Margolaf when he needs sone cold air

Captain Tweak

One of the most iconic pirates back in Neverland

Known for his intense love of coffee and multiple talents he uses to foil Captain Ray, he’s one of Simon Pan and Lacey Bell’s most trusted allies

He’s still a little twitchy, though

Occasionally takes his boyfriend out for a romantic ride on his ship

Tamion

A lion-human hybrid

The second born Prince of a Pride, but he could not care less, just wishes his sister would quit rubbing it in his face

He found his calling as the Lion Guard

Knows what happened to Miremba as a cub and occasionally gets pissed on her behalf, but she calms him down

He actually learned how to growl from her and shattered a couple of windows

Collip the Pirate Genie

Was found by the Neverland kids and brought to DuPont as a student

Their first wish was for a box of candy that never ran out, the second was for a carnival behind the school, and third was for him to be free

Looks up to IsmaGenie in sort of a big brother/little brother sort of way

Young genie magic can be a bit unpredictable

Jariles Callisto

He comes from the futuuuuure!

And he’s got an ostrich… So that’s pretty cool

The kids all love his futuristic devices, like his hoverboard, phone that projects holograms, and his laser pistol

They also just like that he’s naturally funny and tells jokes from the future that are new to them

Prince Theovian

He’s the prince of a small but prosperous kingdom

He’s shy and there have been rumors about him in the past, but Siguel shut a lot of those down

But those all really went away when he whipped out his electric guitar and pulled off an awesome solo backed up by his pet dragon blowing purple fire

He actually knows Heathinda. They crossed paths once or twice

Danté Rivera

He HATES Lila de la Cruz with a burning passion

Don’t ask why. He’s not ready to talk about it yet

Other than that, he’s a talented guitarist and strives to become a successful musician

People swear they see him talking to the air

Diá de Los Muertos is his favorite holiday and he’s always got a new song written for the day

He has a sugar skull-style jacket he loves wearing

Gailleo

HE’S GOT A ROCKET!

Also, this kid’s a damn good conductor. He’s put in charge of every school choir

And people swear they hear music whenever he’s near

It’s like it follows him wherever he goes and changes based on his mood

Skullippe

Yet another Neverland Kid

A parrot-human hybrid with his black wings dyed red at the tips

He’s got a cracker addiction, so look out for that. Especially the salted ones

He and Heathinda hang out in the dark corners of the room, just brooding until it’s time for recess

Chef Hayford

He introduces the kids to fine Cajun cuisine

This guy will give it to you straight when you ask his opinion

TiAlya works part time at his small restaurant and makes sure she gets all her schoolwork done so her lousy teacher won’t be all on her

Gives her sound life advice and tips on running her future restaurant

He also makes sure to look out for Austin LeBouff. Kid’s sweet but not as down-to-earth as his best friend

Honestly I don’t think Alya comes across that way to me, especially in season 4 through 6. She’s allowed to disagree with Marinette and have her own opinions, and even her own moral code. That people deserve honesty and that true is important for someone to grow. We see this in revelator and lady chaos. We even see her grow from the journalist that wants truth no matter what to the journalist that knows when some secrets should be kept. Which started back in season 2 with Sapotis, where she puts back the miraculous after seeing that ladybug’s trust is more important than being a hero and even revealing her identity. And speaking of season 2, it’s also the start where we saw Alya’s sisters and her sisters are recurring characters. So in short, I think Alya doesn’t fit that trope and has good depth to her more than most black characters do. Though, I do wish she had more black features like having natural hair.

As for Nino, I think he fits to this trope sadly. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have his own life or goals… but they’re barely seen by the audience because he doesn’t have a lot of screen time to himself. He’s either stuck being Alya’s boyfriend or Adrien’s best friend, and sometimes he gets his own moment and plotline like with the resistance in season 5, where he did help ladybug and chat noir as well as having his own character moments but it wasn’t a lot of that plotline and the resistance disappeared after season 5 leaving Nino in the dust because he barely knows the main plotline of season 6, Gabriel is monarch and Marinette is hiding it from everyone especially Adrien until she gets the butterfly miraculous back. I mean he still gets moments where he has his own thoughts and opinions on things, rocketear is a good example of this. And we saw his parents for the first in chained titans and his home life, seeing how it shaped him to the person he is. But that isn’t enough, he should be allowed to do more outside of being Adrien’s best friend or Alya’s boyfriend.

One last thing to add about Nino, we don’t actually know he’s black. Like canonically black, he’s Moroccan, which is Arab. But him being black is up in the air, not saying it isn’t implied. We have Zeno as his Va, his curls, and one of his bracelet are an African pattern. But I think it should be explicitly shown in canon that he is black more than just implying it. As for his parents, I have a light skinned mom that has a similar skin color to Nino’s dad, so his parents being lighter than him is honestly pretty realistic because sometimes that’s how genetics works.

But yeah, I think Alya doesn’t fit this trope but Nino sadly does, also keep in mind I’m not an expert on this because I’m black.

And I wanna hear more about this “missing brother” Tom mentioned but never brought up again. Maybe Nino can have a legitimate conspiracy board hidden in the back of his closet and he has his brother’s friend’s contacts saved in his phone and occasionally calls them

And he eventually lets Adrien in on his goal to find him and the reason he didn’t do so earlier was because of Adrien’s own shitty home life and he didn’t feel like “dragging him into his own family bs.”

Also, Nino would definitely be pissed at Marinette/Ladybug after everything is revealed, not just because Adrien’s his best friend, but because he HATED Gabriel with every fiber of his being. He probably glares at people calling him a hero because that’s not the asshole he remembers. But he can’t say that because Gabriel got Ladybug’s stamp of approval and no one can badmouth Ladybug, and Adrien’s too in love with Marinette who keeps telling him his dad’s a hero and he doesn’t wanna get him pissed again after Heartfixer and because he DID have a crush on her, past tense

As for Chris, he may have spoiled him a bit to keep him out of the dysfunctional world that is their family, but he’s since mellowed out after a talk

Just give the kid a personality and other interests
