#class bashing

Prompt: Marinette is somehow related to Alfred(maybe like an uncle twice removed or something idk), and due to Lila Marinette has been getting into a lot of trouble at school, so her parents ask Alfred to watch her and make her work with him for the year in hope's of straightening her back out. Bat family isn't outright rude to her(except Damian but its Damian and hes rude to everyone so...) but they are rather cold towards her. It isn't all bad, Alfred is very kind to her because he doesn't think she is the problem like everyone else assumes. Marinette has chores to do around the manner, she attends school, and she even has free time to work on her designs(though this is more because Bruce sees it as shes working towards her career rather than leisure), also she found out they were the Batfam after the first week, cause they're really obvious, but she doesn't say anything cause it isn't her business. So yeah shes a bit lonely, but at least she wasn't being constantly picked on like in France. Fast forward a bit to when the rest of the family is starting to think that maybe Marinette wasn't the problem at her old school, but they are still unsure. The old class comes to Gotham for a class trip(funded by themselves and chloe, not the school) and they tour one of the Wayne businesses, where Marinette is working for the day since there was no school. Lila immediately recognizes her and starts picking on her, and trying to get under her skin.

Idk how it ends, that up to you, and you can also change a few things if you want.

Chapter Twenty Six: Orange Is Not The New Black

guys I struggled so much with this chapter and there isn't even a reason why

---

Alya Césaire knew two things for certain.

One, Ladybug made a mistake taking away her Miraculous and giving it to someone else. And two, the new Cat hero just wasn't cutting it.

Alya scowled up at the black and white figures dancing around the Akuma. She could hear the one in white swearing viciously as she dodged the wave of blood that came crashing out of nowhere.

“Look at this, Ladybloggers! Noir can barely stay alive and we expect her to save us from Hawkmoth?” Alya announced smugly to her fans as she filmed the fight. “And this new hero? What a joke! They don’t even have a name, and they’re barely fighting back! Where the hell is Ladybug? Doesn’t she care about us anymore?”

Alya ran after the Akuma, who was once her ridiculously dramatic teacher Madam Camille. Alya couldn’t believe her teacher turned into an Akuma just because she told her no one gave a shit about her stupid lesson on Jack the Ripper.

“I can’t believe Ladybug is so incompetant that she left us with these idiots! Where the hell is she?"

After stopping in an alley to continue her rant, Alya paced back and forth, stopping to kick a pop can into a nearby dumpster.

"It's so awful that Ladybug abandoned us like--"

A shadow fell across the alley, making Alya freeze in her place.

"Alya Césaire! Still feel that Jack the Ripper is boring?"

Orange was not the new black.

That had always been something Chloé firmly believed since she was able to string thoughts together. It was too sharp of a color and yet so, so dull. Everything about it was awful--Chloé never understood why the fake reporter had been so obsessed with it.

It was why she had been so relieved to find her suit didn't have a speck of orange.

Her suit--or the one she made for Noir being Chloé being a fox--was still black, but white gloves with black tips covered her hands. Instead of cat ears, her head was covered with an black hood with new fox-like ears situated on top. Instead of a mask to cover her eyes, Noir now had a white bandana face covering. Falling elegantly from her shoulders was a black cloak with white on the inside.

She looked fantastic, and the murmurs of agreement from inside her head why did she feel like she was going to throw up?

Because you finally gained Ladybug’s trust only to stomp all over it. Plagg pointed out.

This isn’t technically disobeying her though, since Chloé does have the Miraculous. Trixx reasoned.

It was like having an angel and a devil sitting on her shoulder--but since when was Plagg considered an angel?

Swearing loudly, Noir smacked another splatter of blood away from her new suit.

She was wearing white for Kwami's sake, and it didn't matter if the suit was magic, she knew that the stain would never come out.

Noir scowled and threw herself backwards to hide behind a chimney.

This was the dumbest idea ever. Noir thought to herself. Fucking idiot, why did you think you could pull off being a fox on top of being a cat?

Because you're an idiot. Plagg said.

Because foxes are awesome! Trixx shot back.

Noir ducked away from the now collapsing chimmney and pulled out her new weapon, a pure white flute as long as a staff. She leaped out of the way and played it harshly.

If I'm going to keep this whole 'Fox' thing up I need to learn how to play the flute. It looked so easy when Rena Rouge did it, a shame she was such an awful hero--no offense, Trixx.

Eh, she was pretty horrible. Trixx said, but at least she could play the flute.

Plagg cackled inside her head, you sound like a constipated horse.

No, no, no! She sounds like a screaming goose!

You guys are dicks. Noir grumbled, rolling to the side to avoid more blood aimed at her face.

What a fun superpower. Squeezing people like they're apples and drowning people in the apple juice.

That's a horrible metaphor. Trixx scoffed.

Yeah! Plagg giggled. Apple juice looks like pee!

You two have the maturity of second graders.

Yeah and you're so mature, I've seen the hoard of stuffed animals you keep in the closet.

Those were private, Plagg! Why were you in my closet?

I was looking for cheese and your closet had yellow stuff in it.

Plagg you--

"Look out!" The voice was frantic, and Noir turned around to see who it was.

Only to have a wave of blood crash into her.

So much for dry clean only white super suits.

Noir choked, trying so hard to keep her mouth closed. She could feel her body going weightless--and she forced her eyes open.

It was that night with Chat Noir all over again.

Suddenly she was falling and crashing and dying all over again.

And then she was screaming, her mouth was filling with the coppery taste of blood. She was gagging and gasping, everything was too hit--why was the blood still warm?--and burning and she was drowning in blood.

It was just like the other night, her heart was beating too fast and then not at all.

She was dying all over again.

Kid, kid you need to calm down! Plagg was yelling frantically, but the sound of blood rushing to fill her nose and mouth and ears and everything was drowning everything out.

The waterfall of blood ended when she was on the ground in a pool of blood that wasn't her own.

And for the second time that day, she was coated in the smell of old pennies and horrible, sticky, blood.

yes, yes I know that Jack the Ripper is british and didn't squeeze the blood out of people but instead he just drained people of blood but I have a bit of an obsession with him so I did that

Taglist:

After truth and lies(jagged is not luka's and juleka's father) luka went on a world tour with jagged due to his talent and kagami went back to Japan. Audrey sent chloe to a boarding school in NYC.

In Gang of secrets marinette never told alya her secret of being ladybug... But due to marinette keeping secrets the girls slowly started drifting apart and when lila comes back (saying how she went to visit the queen of England and how she arranged her personal doctor for her lying disease and is completely healed) she used  this to her advantage and turned everyone against her.

During this adrien remained quite and marinette got over her crush.

She also started training as the Guardian and went to the guardians temple which was restored after feast using the horse miraculous.

During this time her parents also started drifting apart and started putting her in curfew due to her classmates constant complaining on her behavior. Also because She was never where She was supposed to be. She started becoming cold and having a emotionless face as marinette

Marinette also started doing commissions for jagged and luka and got famous but her name was Anonymous as she didn't want a lot of attention and getting in risk of a papparazi founding about her identity.

After a year and a half she graduated and on the same day she and chat noir defeated hawkmoth.

After one week her parents disowned her. She was very sad due to that and didn't notice the assassins who later kidnapped her

It was her 18th birthday when she was bethrothed to Damien but he didn't know of her birthday. They both acted very cold towards each other.

After 1 week jon came with adrien as his boyfriend. There was a lot of tension between him and mari. The family also discovered about her birthday.

Adrien later revealed to mari how he met jon at a gala and they instantly become friends. After jon visited Paris for a few days and they discovered they had feelings for one another and decided to keep it a secret due to adrien's father and also because jon wasn't ready for telling everyone about him being gay. How lila found and took a picture of them kissing and blackmailed him. How he wanted to help her. He was about to tell her everything on the day of graduation but how he founded out his father was hawkmoth. Later marinette and him became best friends. Daminette sailed when damien found out what she went through and understood the reasoning behind her behavior and approached her a little gently.

Luka later came to gotham for a concert, kagami for a fencing competition and chloe to apply to a college there for business. Chloe apologized to marinette for her behavior and talked to her about her mother and her jealousy etc. They became friends. Kagami forgive adrien. They all became good friends

IDK you yet by Alexander 23

Karma by AJR

And her soulmate worries about her. Que them meeting a little later on, and realizing that they are soulmates due to the bat of your choice humming the song and marinette joining in. Give me marinette angst, protective batfamily, and class bashing, with optional adrien bashing and lots of Lila salt.

💞part 2 ms. Bustier’s class is furious that he had helped Lila lie to them. Adrien tries to ask Marinette for help as Chat Noir, but her parents had opened a second location and she had moved with them. Marinette is not amused when Chat Noir tries to get her involved in something she had no part in. She is even less amused when he started to threatens into helping. She removes his miraculous from him and then screams for her parents. Her parents are furious and calls the police.

💞part 3 Adrien is arrested for sneaking into Marinette’s bedroom. The news is leaked to the media by Marinette’s protective boyfriend and friends.

Part 2💕her parents support her as her boyfriend had introduced her to new friends and they were always more polite and considerate of their daughter. One of them was even thinking of opening up a bakery himself! Lila lies about how Marinette must be lying about her boyfriend and that the mean things she said about them were actual her words. They decide to get revenge by getting her in legal trouble. The problem was the time they pick was when Marinette was grounded

Part 3💕 for breaking curfew on her date. They thought it was a lie. Marinette was probably just working in a project. They go through with the plan and are caught. They blame marinette. One of the police officers was actual at the bakery before the call came in. He saw Marinette at the counter. Not to mention her boyfriend decided to propose to her and the proposal was filmed by everyone. ( they are all 18) END

________________________________________________________________

Just be careful when writing this, the phrasing “her new boyfriend starts to isolate her from her class” makes it sounds like he’s abusing her. Isolating the victim from friends and family is an abusive tactic that dismantles the support system that would otherwise protect the victim from the abusers actions.

It wouldn’t be okay for her new boyfriend to tell her, “You are not allowed to be friends with those people, you have to stop being friends with them.”

He would have to talk to her about the way they’re treating her badly (and let’s be perfectly clear, here, this is class bashing, not salt, because it’s out of character), and how she deserves better. Forcing her to stop interacting with them is controlling and abusive. Which you could 100% go for, if you want to turn this around and go for class sugar instead, where Marinette is being manipulated and lied to and forced to end all her friendships because her new boyfriend is abusing her.

There’s also the part where he is raising concerns about the class’ behavior to her parents, instead of talking through it with her, and then going to her parents together. That seems really controlling and creepy. And could especially be used in class sugar to drive it home that he is not a good person.

But I’m assuming this is not meant to be an abusive relationship.

So you’re gonna have to make it clear that her boyfriend is not isolating her from her class. He’s not forcing her to end her relationships with them, and only introducing her to people he is friends with (which is another abusive tactic! Surround the victim with people that will always take your side over theirs!) He’s helping her realize that they’re treating her badly. It’s her choice to stop interacting with them, not something he’s forcing on her.

Also again, let’s be clear. this is class bashing. This is out of character, this has no basis in canon. No one in the class has ever demanded Marinette make things for them for free. No one in the class (aside from Chloe, who doesn’t count because she’s NEVER the target of this kind of bashing) has ever stolen from Marinette or manipulated her into giving them things for free.

Marinette brings in food from her parents bakery with her parents permission BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO. No one is demanding it. No one is manipulating her into doing it. No one is forcing her to.

And also, just because this post is talking about ‘the class’ and not Alya in particular doesn’t mean it’s not pulling the exact same racist Alya bashing that I’ve had to ban from my other prompt blogs. Unless you’re going to specify that Alya is not doing these things that the rest of the class are being bashed for, you are pretty much saying that Alya is the one leading these efforts, because Alya is Marinette’s best friend, and probably the most developed characters aside from Chloe (who again, does not count, because she is never the target of this kind of bashing) in the entire class.

This is the last prompt I will accept with this kind of behavior from the class. It is completely out of character, has no basis in canon, and there are literally dozens of other things you could do to create conflict in your story. If you want to create prompts where the class acts completely out of character, you can do that on your own blog.

And again, it reeks of racism, because it’s pretty damn clear that Alya is meant to be the ringleader for this kind of behavior, even if you are hiding behind referring to it as ‘the class’ doing it. And writing Alya as an abusive, violent, money-grubbing, thieving bully?

Is racist.

And it will not be tolerated. And again, the part where things like this have absolutely no basis in canon at all. You can submit prompts that are OOC, but this extent combined with the racist motivations, is just going too far.
