Corruption: A Prompt

[ Hey guys sorry for the sudden extreme bout of inactivity! I moved to europe and its been really rough on me! Ive been sleeping and dealing with a whole new language but I hope to be able to write more soon! ]

So, ive seen several Miraculous Ladybug fans suggest the idea that due to the way Gabriel is using the miraculous he is actually corrupting himself hence why his behaviour at the begining of the series toward Adrien is so vastly different then the recent seasons. This gave me a wickedly evil idea. What if, using the miraculous the way he is ISN’T just corrupting Gabriel but also corrupting everyone whos been akumatized.

Everytime someone gets possessed by the power of Hawkmoth’s akumas they give in to their deepest darkest desire for power, even if their intentions are good the fact of the matter is they are giving over their will to Hawkmoth in exchange for power and so even when the item is broken, even when Ladybug shout’s “miraculous ladybug” their’s just this tiny little bit of corruption that remains within.

It’s hardly noticeable for those only akumatized once or twice, for a week or so AFTER the innitial akumatization they are more easily angered more jumpy and paranoid but then it passes and the corruption eventually leaves. But the more you get akumatized the more you get… Corrupted. Slowly it builds within you, causing you to be a little quicker to anger, a little more envious, more paranoid, entitled, demanding, pushy, it feeds on those negative feelings growing you can fight it of course by being aware by not indulging in those negative thoughts because if you do someone who’s only be akumatized even once or twice can start to become twisted by the corruption. Perhaps Marinette see’s it in the people who get akumatized several times, or even some of the friends she’s made she doesn’t understand the cause of the change but she notices that when shes near them she feels this uncomfortable buzz in her head and this strange sense of something being out of balance even if she can’t understand it.

Enter: One Liar Rossi.

FDA pauses routine food inspections for the indefinite future

These inspections were just one more link in the already-overtaxed and weakened safety net for our food systems.

[sidsinning]

do you think Marinette and Kagami think the perfect Adrien is his fault for not opening up too much? sorry for the bad english

Er I thought that was what season 1 was going for, the whole concept of him being perfect was a farce he had to put on.

But I honestly think Thomas is saying that the girls are correct when they say that Adrien is perfect, as he himself said so on twitter.

Which is LOL yeah right

Kagami went on and on about how perfect he was to his face (“perfection incarnate”) and he felt touched instead of put off

Adrien refers to his civilian self as “the real me” in Desperada

So yeah Adrien’s perfect sunshine ray beam innocence incarnate who can do no wrong and Kagami and Marinette are completely right when they say so isn’t that sweet

[adriensugarprompts]

The class gets a new student who after a few weeks starts creeping on Marinette. When people talk to him about it, he uses the excuse of Chat's behavior toward LB to try and get out of trouble. Adrien hearing about it, is both grossed out and horrified, and now second guessing his own actions as CN. Given how important CN is defending Paris and LB's sense of duty he is not sure if she tell him if he asked her about it. So, Adrien is now trying to fix his behavior as well as help Marinette out.

[koshofthevorlons]

I think my favorite part of this idea is how Adrien reacts to what has happened. He doesn’t do a “woe is me” or start making it anyone else’s responsibility to explain how his actions as Chat Noir might be wrong. Instead, he decides to figure out himself what he is doing wrong and fix it even as he helps out his friend.

I have read so many fanfics and in most of em they say stuff like Adrien inhaled marinette's smell. She smelled like the bakery, sweet and sugary and like how all the bakery stuff is. (Cuz she a snacc ) but dude they're teens probably going through puberty and being one myself Lemme just tell yall what teens smell like. Sweat, dirt, excess deodorant and semen

she does live in a bakery and have magical transformations so maybe that’s fine? As a teen girl I don’t remember us smelling that bad, mostly it was guys with either too much deodorant or too much BO

These pumps, crafted by Mexican designer Lucita Abarca, caused quite a stir at a recent Sixth Borough fashion show. These crystalline high-heels were grown by Wyrm’s Pass artisans, deep below the Rocky Mountains, using a mixture of firebird ash, waters from the springs at Paradiso, and a variety of secret ingredients, rumored to include Australian fire opals and powdered moonstone. The result of using the firebird ash become immediately recognizable when the heel of the shoe is dragged backward across any dry surface, as it creates an impressive streak of magical fire which can be accurately aimed with a little effot. Ms. Abarca said she wanted a shoe that made a statement, and that statement was “Any bastardo brujo catcalling me on La Plaza de Sangre better be ready to dose his huevos, you know?”
