We're waking up from hibernation to wish you happy holidays, and to announce our annual White Elephant prompt exchange event. This year, you can participate, by sending us festive prompts! Our participants will ruthlessly battle for them and follow their inspiration - who knows what the result will be?
There was half a decade in between grade 12 and my gap year. Me discovering that I had a crush on someone to me coming out as a gay. Me getting into fanfic during the pandemic and me halfway through my creative writing degree.
Lila/Cerise/Chrysalis has the rings. She got a photo of the rings in S5 with through Revelation and the tricks she pulled with Nathalie. She knows Adrien is a sentimonster and has adrien's rings...maybe?
@mixelation, I hope you enjoy your gift! I really liked the idea of Marigami hurt/comfort, and I hope I executed it well! It takes place post london special, but no spoilers/leaks for S6!

Hello @azuriteartist I'm your @mlsecretsanta this year!!
I hope you enjoy your alyanette with switched kwamis! I tried to make it look like a christmas postcard heheh
And let me if the image quality looks bad, I don't know if tumblr will mess up with this one :'D
Oh my god!!!!! This is incredible! I love it so much!!!!
Scarabella's buns are so cute! And her cape being so wintery and christmas fits the vibe so well! Fox!Marinette's ponytail and cheeky expression are exquisite!
Their outfits are just divine, and you've drawn them so well!
You've done such a great job and I'm so thrilled you drew this for me. Have a happy holidays and great new year!
Marinette's hair changes quite a bit throughout the show. This won't cover every single change, but it covers the main groups, and hopefully gets across the main point: When Marinette's hair changes, it represents a changed mental state.
Classic Marinette - Pigtails
This is Marinette at her most normal. You know her, you love her.
Still stressed but not 'breaking down' stressed. She's productive, generally on top of things, anxious, and prone to mistakes but also solutions. She's mostly in control here, and it semi-works for her.
Any deviation from this hairstyle is essentially a giant flashing sign saying "Marinette's mental state has changed"
Stressed Marinette - Bun/s
Whenever her hair is in buns, she's overworking, over-stressed, and at breaking point. It's signifying that she's operating at a level much higher than she usually is, so her hair is tighter and 'wound up'. Her thinking/environment is usually bad for her and/or others.
Multimouse, in the episode where her identity was almost revealed and she almost killed herself fixing everything = Buns!
Her previous school year (with less friends and more Chloe influence) = Bun!
Shadybug, whose life was terrible with no friends, Chloe, and her powers are literally killing her = Buns!
And when Shadybug turns good and loses some of that toxic thinking, it turns into normal buns. Signifying her change into a better and more healthy mindset.
Actually...based off that, when her buns appear, there's a 2/3rd's chance her plan is killing her...
Secure Marinette - Loose Hair
First appearing in Chat Blanc, this is her letting go of stress and worry. It shows Marinette's need for security and control mellow into calm and enjoyment. She's free of the desire for control. However, she's most likely to get blindsided in this mode. Also, for reasons explained later, this is mimicking Adrien's hair, somewhat.
In Hearthunter, Marinette lets go of the worry surrounding Adrien/Kagami, and enjoys being in the moment with them, losing her hair bands as Adrien leads the both of them into the pool. She enjoys Kagami's friendship, and Adrien's platonic love, and uses the hair ties in a Ladybug style solution. Then, she puts her hair ties back in right as sweetheart's icecream comes up.
They appear in Chat Blanc when Adrien confesses his love, and they stay like that. In the relationship, her guard is down and she's free.
Adrien - Mimicking
Adrien doesn't really do much with his hair, it's almost constantly down. It's messier/different as Chat Noir, but that's not that notable beyond the obvious. Except for a notable example.
Here, Cat Walker is trying his best to be professional, innovative, on task, and EXACTLY LIKE LADYBUG. Ergo, he gets the hairstyle that says "I need to be in control of this situation for the good of everyone, to the detriment of me"
---
There's probably other examples I'm missing right now and I'll add them if so (I'm 90% convinced when someone covers their hair, they're lying: Hawkmoth and Aspik).
But here it is: Marinette's hair theory. Whenever her hair changes, I worry, cause it signifies a changed mental state (and with her, it's often for the worse).
I just wrote like 600 words of Alya talking about the difference between US culture and France culture in regards to how they think about villains and heroes, none of which advanced the plot or really has to do with anything at all; but honestly it's a 119k fic and counting, and I'm reminded that I have a 10k+ word WIP in the My Hero Academia fandom that's like 19% the actual premise, 80% worldbuilding that again has nothing to do with the actual premise, and 1% Izuku being gay for Katsuki, so I think 600 words is fine actually.
#azuritespeaks #make it 6000 words about superhero culture #...#for me #/lh #/j
look I make no promises but I do love writing Ladyblog articles but usually only ever include them in the final thing if they're actually, like, plot-relevant, so there may be some extras just for you.
