Anyone can submit Adrien sugar prompts where Adrien learns from his mistakes and redeems himself, and anyone can write or create art for those prompts, even if someone else has already done something for it! These are free and open ideas for anyone in the fandom to use! SFW prompts only, and please try to keep them in character! Please only send prompts where Adrien's flaws are aknowledged. He has to work to redeem himself, it can't just be handed to him. This blog is being run by Rjalker (it/its). I'm queer, deal with it.
For the sake of the new fandom that will probably form around the movie, all posts on this blog have now been tagged (via the mass post editor), with "Show!Miraculous", "Show!Adrien", and "Show!Adrien".
Including some posts not about ML because there's no easy way to filter them out, lol.
Prompts about the characters from the movie will be tagged normally, plus the above with Movie! in front.
The Trevor Project needs help holding upper management accountable for sudden devastating layoffs, and silencing those attempting to speak up about it!
Hold The Trevor Project and Insight Global Leadership Responsible
The Trevor Project is a US-based nonprofit organization that provides support for struggling queer youth, providing 24/7 phone and text lines as well as other resources and community for many queer youth who are struggling to find support and a sense of stability. For those who work for this project, their jobs have meant everything to them, and the layoffs came suddenly, without the employees being able even so much as give feedback during this announcement.
"On the morning of June 14, The Trevor Project sent a meeting invite for 1:30 pm EST (2 hours before the meeting start time). The meeting was titled "988 Updates." In this brief meeting, staff at Trevor Project and staff contracted through Insight Global working for Trevor Project were informed that almost half of this 988 staff would be laid off and the last day for those folks would be July 2, 2023. Coordinators of the meeting from both Trevor Project and Insight Global turned off the chat feature and opened the Q&A, but have yet to still answer the questions asked by the staff. Leaders were stiff, emotionless, and cold while reading off of a script as if they were not destroying lives by what they were saying. 988 counselors and staff were also told not to stop taking crisis chats while this was happening, leading to our own self-crises while trying to support contacts. This was a highly unprofessional and inconsiderate meeting with life-changing news."
This has been utterly devastating for both the project, and those who are losing their jobs. Those affected were given a two week notice. As this is a primarily queer organization, many of those affected by these lay-offs face discrimination in their careers and have struggled to find jobs outside of queer affirming organizations.
As of writing this post, this petition only needs 255 signatures to pass, please sign if you agree that those in charge need to be held accountable and provide answers and solutions for the problems and damage that has been caused. You can also share this post, or the link to the petition itself to increase visibility. Thank you for reading.
We stand in solidarity with The 988 Trevor Project Team United.
Application to collect part of Meta's $725 million settlement is simple, requiring only a few minutes to fill out.
[ID: a link preview of a stock image coffee table with a laptop with the facebook logo on the screen with text on top that says 'anyone who used facebook in the last 16 years can now get settlement money. here's how." end ID]
Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!
Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE
Excerpt from article:
Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users.Â
The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.
Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023.Â
Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .
This is your chance to get money back from the evil fucking company! They have to fucking pay you now because they've been stealing your data and selling it for a profit!
Since prompt submissions are slowing down (I'm just gonna assume because the show's gotten so terrible everyone is jumping ship), if you enjoy writing short stories, and especially if you love using neopronouns in short stories, you can also submit short original stories to my other sideblog @neopronouns-in-action!
And if you're thinking, "but I don't have any original characters..." you can literally just change the names of some characters, change the names of stuff from the universe, and just write a short story like it's a fanfiction but if you had the ability to make everything actually make sense and work and the characters have actual interactions and...yeah, congrats, you have original characters, you're writing original ficiton.
If writing "fanfiction" requires you to rebuild the entire universe and every single relationship between every character from the ground up just so that things are actually coherent, that's not fanfiction anymore, you've been writing original fiction the whole time, and just slapping an existing character's name on it.
And if the story in question is public domain, like Dracula, Frankenstein, Winnie the Pooh, and Sherlock Holmes, you literally don't even have to change their names. It's not fanfiction if it's public domain, it's literally just normal fiction.
Please feel free to submit short stories where characters use neopronouns to @neopronouns-in-action.
When /I/ have written 100 stories for it, mine are going to be published in a collection literally just called Neopronouns in Action, and you can publish yours too! Lulu.com gives you everything you need to start publishing books on your own, including ebooks!
You can submit anonymously, but I suggest choosing a penname for everything you submit so you can still take credit if you choose to publish them someday! Which you should!
No prompts with anything to do with the "yandere" trope or any series that relies on that trope are allowed. It's ableist, usually racist, and just glorifies abusive relationships.
Most hilarious (in dark way) thing about "Strikeback" is that only reason why Adrien didn't try to Cataclysm Felix/Flairmidable out of jealousy is because it would result in his ring being taken and thus revealing latter as Not!Adrien. (thus, breaking plot in half)
Yep! He tries to murder Alya, (which Marinette still doesn't know about), but because they need Felix not to be revealed for the plot to work.... Adrien just.... Doesn't even do the most basic, in character actions because for once they wouldn't just benefit him, but they would help Marinette for once.
1) If Adrien attacked/otherwise sabotaged Flairmiddable in his usual bout of Jealousy?
Marinette wouldn't have been tricked by Felix and lost the Miraculous in the most Plot Hole Way Possible
(because they've established multiple times that that is NOT how the Miraculous weapons operate-- They literally had to break their own universe's rules for the finale to happen)
2) If Adrien was petty and snippy with Flairmiddable and vocally didn't trust him?
The other heroes would have kept a closer eye both of them, maybe questioning their own past interactions with Chat Noir and his own bad attitude towards them joining, which has especially gone downhill quickly with him outright resenting them and belittling them no matter how friendly they try to be. It would further drive a wedge of Adrien's own making between him and the Heroes Who Actually Care , which would be perfect foreshadowing to his twice-done, inevitable joining up with Hawkmoth, and someone else would have been watching more closely to see Flairmiddable cast fetch on the Yoyo.
3) If Adrien had actually used common sense for once in his life and warned Ladybug that the guy she gave a Miraculous to is the same guy that swapped places "with that Adrien Agreste kid" before, because he, Chat Noir, saw Felix roll into town at the train station earlier?*
Marinette would have immediately been on her guard and used the rest of the heroes against Felix to overwhelm him and retrieve the Miraculous back, and probably use a few of the powers/her own persuasion skills to get him to admit his plan
Like, literally the only reason Adrien wasn't his murderous, violently aggressive, selfish brat-self in the finale? Because if he had been, Felix would have been exposed and Marinette would have both won the day and had a real hard look at her partner's more horrendous actions first hand to paint him in a new light, and the writers couldn't have that, now could they?
*(The Idiot Himself ""confirmed "" on Twitter there's nothing magical stopping people from seeing through Miraculous suits to figure out someone's identity...because that guy really knows how to devalue his entire universe with a single fucking social media post lmao. Anyways yeah, idk about you but I think I'd recognize myself if a doppelganger of me dressed up in a dog superhero costume.
And if canon ever says he didn't know it was Felix at all or that it was supposed to be "Adrien", then that's literally just yet another strike against him for treating people like shit!)
"they're just fictional characters, they're not real!" ok. but you do know that the poc you share the fandom with ARE real tho, right? right? you know they can see the way you react to and treat marginalized characters, right? please tell me you understand that at the very least. please.
one thing i truly genuinely despise about this site is that after we are so often presented with fictional white women doing objectively, obviously, blatantly racist things in the name of “empowerment” and “feminism,” woc spend months to years spoon-feeding everyone explanations on said racism. but there will STILL always be that group of white feminist bnfs who make a meta about how this character is a “radical” or something and then that becomes the new take, the woc are now nonsensical violent misogynists for debauching all the radical iconic legendary feminism we are too close-minded to see, and white women who identified with this character remain comfortable with the unchallenged racism in their own lens. they really do systematically and transparently use the language of feminism and activism and social justice to shut down any critique of racism.
You can leave anonymous comments/reviews on fanfiction.net if you don't have an account/are too shy.
You can also read the fic in Google Docs here.
You can feel free to download the document at any time to read off-line or save for later. You could even print it out if you wanted to (though it's over 90 pages even in size 12 font, so...make sure you have paper ready). The doc also includes the art I've drawn for this.
If you use Google Doc's download option to save it as an epub, you can transfer it to a phone and read it on any ebook app, though making it an epub does remove italics. I recommend the "ReadEra" app for android, it's really easy to use and free without any ads. I'm not sure what free ebook apps are available for iphones, sorry.

Quick summary for chapter 1:
Adrien decides to adopt a feral cat, and this goes about as well as you'd expect. Character development ensues, with Adrien learning more about what it really means to take on the responsibility of owning a pet, and starts him on the path to learning how to treat other people better too.
____________
Summary for the rest of the fic:
It started with Adrien Agreste adopting a random cat off the street.
This leads to Adrien getting in contact with a vet, to make sure the cat's in good health. And this leads to Adrien learning about words like "trans" and "nonbinary" and "otherkin", and the idea that you don't have to be a boy just because your parents decided you were one when you were born. You don't even have to be human. Ne doesn't have to be the "perfect son". Ne doesn't even have to be a son at all. Ne can just be...rixelf.
Adrien Agreste is no more, now riv name is Pandora. And, overjoyed with riv new identity, Pandora decides that ne's going to tell everyone who will listen, starting with the cleaning staff.
And then ne learns that riv father's cruelty extends beyond the confines of Agreste mansion, and blankets the city. Hawkmoth isn't the only villain in Paris, Gabriel Agreste and Mayor Bourgeois are in league, exploiting the labor of the working class in order to fill their own pockets, then taking what little they do pay the workers right back in the form of rent, bills, and late fees.
Pandora is horrified to learn where riv allowance has been coming from riv entire life, and vows that ne's going to stop it. Ne needs to tell Ladybug what ne's just learned!
But no sooner does Pandora meet up with Ladybug to discuss the threat than another bombshell is dropped on top of rix, and then riv whole world is turned upside down, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Warnings: Mentions of dead birds/mice in the first chapter, unsafe animal care/animal neglect that is corrected. Some villains and other antagonists/characters who are bad people die offscreen, including both Gabriel. Emilie dies offscreen, but the lead up to it is onscreen. There are also discussions of emotional child abuse, but it's not shown in the present.
If you've read it and think I should list out any other warnings, please let me know!
---
The main character figures out ne's nonbinary and otherkin, and starts using neopronouns 100% of the time starting in chapter 3. Multiple other trans characters are in the story as well, though none of them take center stage, since the story follows the main character with an extremely limited perspective.
This is an alternate universe from the show, with changes mostly in the background, not actually affecting this story. The main difference is that in this universe, there's no attempted romance between the heroes, it's 100% platonic. Because misogyny is bad, and this means that Adrien at least starts out with some morals as opposed to none.
Here's a link to the original writing prompt, which became the first chapter of this fic.
If you read all the way through, please let me know what you think with an anonymous comment on ff.net! Are the neopronouns confusing? Does the explanation for them make sense? Did this fic help you understand how to use new pronouns? Let me know! I wrote this partly to help people learn how to use neopronouns, so I want to see whether that worked or not! :)
[Video description: The youtube video for the song "Let It Burn", by Red. The cover art is solid red, with the impression of a face with an open mouth, as though pressing through from the other side of fabric or plastic.
The lyrics to the song are:
I watch this city burn
These dreams like ashes float away
Your voice I never heard
Only silence
Where were you when our hearts were bleeding?
Where were you it all crashed down?
I never thought that you'd deceive me
Where are you now?
Can you stand the pain?
(How long) How long will you hide your face?
(How long) How long will you be afraid? Are you afraid?
(How long) Will you play this game?
(How long) Will you fight or will you walk away?
(How long) How long will you let it burn?
Let it burn, let it burn
I watch this city burn
These passions slowly smoldering
A lesson never learned
Only violence
Is your world just a broken promise?
Is your love just a drop of rain?
Will we all just burn like fire?
Are you still there, tell me now
Can you stand the pain?
(How long) How long will you hide your face?
(How long) How long will you be afraid? Are you afraid?
(How long) Will you play this game?
(How long) Will you fight or will you walk away?
(How long) How long will you let it burn?
Let it burn, let it burn
Will you wait till it all burns down?
Will you hide till it all burns down?
Will it hurt when it all burns down?
Will you fight when it all burns down?
Will you stand when it all burns down?
Will you love when it all burns down?
Will it end when it all burns down?
Will you just let it all burn down?
Can you stand the pain?
How long will you hide your face?
(How long) How long will you be afraid? Are you afraid?
(How long) Will you play this game?
(How long) Will you fight or will you walk away?
(How long) How long will you let it burn?
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Anyways here's the link for the google doc of the posted chapters of "adrien adopts a cat" so far, where I'll add in the new chapters as they're done.
This way if you want, you can download the whole fic (as it gets updated) and save it to your computer. If you download it as an epub, you can send it to your phone and read it as an ebook.
For android phones I recommend the "ReadEra" app, it's free and easy to use. I don't use iphone, so I'm not sure what ebooks apps are available on there.
The fic, as of chapter 6, is 25K words long so far.
It's in Time New Roman font, size 18 because it's easier for me to read. IDK if it'll give you the option to change the font or size if you're just viewing the document, but if you download it you can of course change it in microsoft word or open office

Submitted Prompt: “Rhapsodizing with LaBelle and Gaston”
Anon please write this as an original thing it is amazing and more thought out than all of ML combined
A new series begins airing in Paris: Rhapzodiac - The Melodious Adventures of LaBelle and Gaston, which is effectively Miraculous Ladybug with the serial numbers filed off and just enough altered to not immediately rouse suspicion. As the title implies, the series is a musical, set in a fantasy realm that is Certainly Not Paris; all the heroes and villains gain their powers through different musical instruments, and battles are show-stopping affairs featuring lots of singing and dancing.
anywaaaay yeah since my blog was apparently accidentally suspended and now restored, feel free to just copy and paste any of my art or writing that you like and save it to your computer. Just obviously don't claim its yours. This also goes for any of the writing prompts on the prompt blogs, though most of them weren't written by me, you can still save them so you'll have them for a reference.
By "art" I also include all the pride flags I've made, including the pronoun flags. Feel free to save them to your computer, along with the full sets of the pronouns and any examples I've written for them!
Children of color are old enough to face racism when they’re born. Old enough to bear the weight of stereotypes & hate before their little eyes can focus. But somehow white kids are supposed to be too delicate & too shielded to even know race exists because somehow that might hurt them. When your definition of innocent child doesn’t include my babies? I know what you’re on & I don’t have any patience for the lies you tell yourself or your children.
