Maribat Media Poll Sunday: #0

This is the official start of a new standard for this blog. Weekly polls!

These polls will be just about anything you can think of.

They will be centered around Maribat, if that was not already clear, but feel free to leave some polls you would like to see either in the replies, reblog, or an ask!

Note: If you leave it in an ask, please specify that it is a poll request.

Here's a 'mini' poll to start us off! (check below line)

What ship got you into the fandom?

Daminette (Damian x Marinette)

Jasonette (Jason x Marinette)

Timari (Tim x Marinette)

Dickinette (Dick x Marinette)

Cassette (Cassandra x Marinette)

Adrien Rare Pair (Adrien x *Insert Character Here*)

Marinette Rare Pair (Marinette x *Character Not Previously Mentioned*)

Rarer Pair (A pairing not including Marinette or Adrien)

Poly Ship (Any ot3 or ship with more than 2 characters)

Bio Parent

Platonic

"You guys remember what ship got you in?"/ Can't Remember

Voting ended onFeb 12, 2024

If you have any pairing that is a rare pair, poly ship or bio parent that got you into the fandom, shoot that relationship out! Do so however you feel comfortable (in tags or reblog)

Extra Special Challenge: If you happen to remember the exact piece (fic, artwork, drabble, incorrect quote) or the author/creator of the piece, give them a shootout in a reblog of this!

Alternative to Special Challenge: If you can't remember who/what you got you into the fandom, shootout the creators or friends that have helped instead!

Writing Patterns Game!

I saw the lovely @abyssal-ali throw out the at to anyone who wants to so I figured why not!

These are all Maribat fics!

10: Lackluster Apologies (Gen)

"How was I supposed to know, Adrien?"

9: We Didn't Start The Dumpster Fire (Timari)

Marinette points her head up as she sniffs the air, instantly regretting it.

8: The Phoenix Five (Gen {at least thus far})

To say the waters were calm, would be the farthest lie one could conjure.

7: Secrets of the Shutterbug (Timari)

Tim slowly backtracks when he sees Bart and Jason laughing with a laptop open.

6: Prodigious Denial Defying Diary (Bio-Mom)

Dear Diary,    Today marks my first writing in hopes that these words reach her.

5: Speedy Rebound From Uncertainty (Found Family)

What would his siblings say if he told them the truth?

4: A Bittersweet Prelude (Gen {Ship in Pt 2})

‘Nothing can beat the strike of a sword.

3: Split Second Chance of a Freeze Frame (Rare Pair, Lukabara aka Luka Couffaine x Barbara Gordon)

Life has the worst ways of showing you what you never thought would happen in any of the multitude of universes out there.

2: You Can Ring My Bell (Timari)

“Gettin' deep…” (I swear this one is Family Friendly)

1: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (Platonic Timari with OC character focus)

Now, there were plenty of things that Scarlet Morningstar has experienced.

Hmm... it's interesting to see how all my starting lines have a nice punch to them in some way, shape or form.

Bonus Below!

Here are the 6 starting lines of my poems thus far for the Shutterbug Station Event!

(They are in order of posting)

1: Red Robin's Rapture (Rare Pair, Tim/Adrien)

"Stay with me a little longer" Tim cried out as the lights dim in his eyes.

2: Anything For My Lady (Gen, Adrien & Mari)

Solitary Confinement can the worst. Too much time with nothing to do.

3: Windy Wonders (Rare Pair, Jay/Adrien aka Alley Cat)

Strawberry Blonde Tall, Handsome, Mysterious

4: Time Passes On (Rare Pair, Bart/Adrien)

Silence Ticking of a clock

5: Marinette's Hidden Talent (Jasonette)

In the depths,

Can one really find one missing out?

6: Lonesome Moonlight Waiting For The Clouds To Clear (Rare Pairs, Tim/Adrien and Bart/Adrien)

Stay with me a little longer Tim I cannot help myself Loving you is all I need

All of the above include the prompt, "Stay With Me A Little Longer" while 5 and 6 include the prompt, "I Can't Say I'm Sorry" as well!

If you are curious about where the prompts came from, check out the Shutterbug Station event and consider joining us on the Timari Discord where we have been hyping it up! It's a great place for Timari lovers and those who are following the Angst V Fluff event!

Maribat Media Poll Sunday #2

Wait... it's the 25th of February? Where did these first 2 months go?

Are You Ready For Maribat March?

Heck Yeah! Who isn't?!

I'm not ready nor do I care

Oh shoot, it's almost March? I need to get ready!

Wait... Maribat March? What's that?

I have about 30 things planned and no time. A month is too short to celebrate!

I don't have anything planned but I'm excited to see what people create!

Maribat Media Poll Sunday! #1

Here is the official start of the polls! Remember that you can leave poll suggestions (even anonymously) in the ask box so long as you specify that is a poll question! All suggestions will be taken unless they are blatantly rude or cruel.

Without further ado....

Which of the following ships would you like to see more of?

Dickinette

Jasonette

Timari

Brucinette

Voting ended onFeb 26, 2024

Note: Daminette is not included in this poll due to it being the most popular ship of the fandom. We love it all the same, but this is to see the ships that are within the "core" ships that people want more of.

Second Note: Other pairings such as Rare Pairs and Poly Ships will get a poll(s) in the future if it is something that Maribatters would like to see some with them. (Specify in the comments/reblogs!)

Maribat Media Poll Sunday Tuesday

At this point, it's a flip of a coin as to whether the polls want to happen on Sunday or Tuesday. They have a mind of their own.

Miracles can happen in May so here is a what if... If any of the following forms of Media were able to exist within the realm of Maribat, which one would you be most interested in?

Podfics (Audible Rendition of written fics)

Podcast (Talking all things Maribat, not limited to fic reading)

Stat Saturdays aka Staturdays (Weekly/Bi-weekly reports of Maribat stats)

Workshop Wednesdays (A time to work together to overcome creation struggles)

Q&As (Creators volunteer to be asked then fellow Bugbats provide questions)

Other (Include your ideas in a tag, reply or reblog, please!)

Voting ended onApr 23, 2024

There is no right or wrong answer to this one!

Leave your thoughts and start up the conversation. If you liked more than one option, say so! If you had an idea not present, share it out!

As they say, "April Showers bring May Flowers", so perhaps some new things will pop up then bloom in the fandom.

Happy Creating everyone! Hopefully the showers of April have not washed you away yet. Ride out the storm for there is beauty on the horizon.

[maribat-media]

seeing a lot of negativity in maribat rn. any ideas on how to make it nicer/more welcoming

Hmm... positivity wave?

Go out of your way to comment on a post you like. Surf your preferred platform, find a smaller creator's creation, give it a read and if you enjoy it kudos and comment.

When you see someone asking about the fandom, give them a solid answer and if you happen to not have the answer, find someone else to help. Help each other!

Be the change you want to see happen. Remember you're not alone in this!
