Its Only 7:30 Wtf

The sky turned completely black around three in the afternoon partly because of smoke coming from the Amazon rainforest, WHICH IS 2300 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE CITY, where the government has greatly increased the amount of land being burned for profit. People are getting sick, animals are dying, native territory is being lost to the flames.

This is what the sky looked like in my city yesterday, in the early afternoon.

It got so dark so fast the city had to turn on the lamp posts and night lighting.

Fanfic rewrite would include

     • Adrien and Marinette escaping the building before they even figure out how to transform

     • Marinette trying to call Fu but her phone dies before he can even tell her what to do because,,, lmao why not

     • Marinette and Adrien, despite escaping the building, knowing it’s their duty to defeat the akuma so they do their damn best without super suits to beat the shit out of the akuma

     • Marinette stealing two motorcycle helmets again, pulling two ponchos out of the trash, and forcing Adrien into the trash poncho despite his reluctance (because even without memories he’s still a high fashion model like,,, that’s literal trash Marinette. I am not wearing trash.)

     • Adrien and Marinette entering some “random bakery” and accidentally coming face-to-face with Marinette’s parents

     • Marinette and Adrien trying to pretend as if they absolutely do have their memories under Sabine’s sharp motherly eyes and failing SPECTACULARLY.

     • Them finding Plagg screaming at a billboard with Adrien’s face on it. “STOP MAKING ME FEEL GUILTY, THIS IS PSYCHOLOGICAL HARASSMENT!!!”

     • Oh god,,, Tom and Sabine surprised by how lovey dovey Adrien and Marinette are acting and taking a TON of pictures for the future wedding

     • At some point Adrien and Marinette realise that they were never dating but they’re clearly obsessed with each other in some stupid fucking love square and they’re actually FURIOUS that they’re going to have to go back to that stupidity after everything is over because wHAT THE FUCK??? WHAT. THE FUCK.

     • Adrien: I literally have a million photos of Ladybug on my phone. I have poems on it serenading you. I have at least 3 pictures as far as I’ve seen of Ladybug’s butt. Marinette: We’re in my room right now and it’s pretty obvious that I have the biggest stalkerish crush on you. Is this your schedule? What the fuck why are you so busy, okay I could understand having a schedule if it’s honestly this hard to find free time with you— Adrien: I HAVE A PURCHASE FOR A LADYBUG BODY PILLOW??? JESUS CHRIST Marinette: Wait is that a picture of my class? ADRIEN ARE WE CLASSMATES? I SIT BEHIND YOU IN CHEMISTRY. Adrien: This is so messed up. We’re in love with each other but we DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT? Also how the hell did I not previously notice that you and Ladybug are the same person? You literally look exactly the same. I could put a picture of the two of you side by side and I wouldn’t see a difference. This so isn’t fair. 

     • Adrien, deciding he needs to break this dumbass love square up, but hopefully WITHOUT compromising their identities, writes a big, block lettered note on his phone “GO OUT WITH MARINETTE. DATE HER. ASK HER OUT ALREADY!!! KISS HER!!! STOP DENYING YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HER LIKE C’MON ALREADY!!! I AM LITERALLY YOU, I KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!!” He takes a screenshot and sets it as his lock and home screen. Then he takes a million more screenshots to fill up pages of his camera roll. Just to make a point. (And for another point, he opens up the camera, takes a picture of Marinette while she’s not looking, she’s got the Determined face on and looking out on the balcony towards Oblivio’s big memory ball, thinking up a plan. It’s captioned “How did you not fall in love with her. Are you insane?” And then, on one last note, he writes “btw, she’s a good kisser. Just so you know.”)

     • Fu eventually finds them and tells them how to transform, and things go a lot more smoothly from there. 

     • Adrien and Marinette leave Nino and Alya before they make out because I’m gonna be honest making out in front of two strangers is awkward. So they go back into the building, kiss one last time, THEN they cast the Miraculous cure and everything’s back to normal again. 

     • Adrien, after having his original memory returned, is SCREAMING at the shit on his phone like wHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??? 

     • Marinette didn’t try anything like Adrien did because she didn’t want to mess around with her original memories and her regular life, because she assumed hey, maybe things are like this for a specific reason? So in any case it ends with her COMPLETELY oblivious as to why Adrien’s acting like a natural disaster whenever he’s within a 50-foot radius of her now.
