ladrien rpf is based on this prompt i wrote, which turned into a whole conversation on the aps discord server where we decided marinette and adrien should collaborate on a ladrien rpf comic together. i have not actually written anything for it, but it was on my list of possibilities for the ladrien zine, so i collected the conversation in a document (which is how it got included on my "touched in the last year list")
adrien was the only person writing ladrien before gorizilla. afterwards a bunch on people went home and looked up "ladrien" and found his fic, which means he actually set the tropes and characterizations for ladrien fandom
HOWEVER a lot of people disagree with his characterization of adrien and think he's written him too weepy and smitten
this exception to this is marinette, who has been reading his fic since before gorizilla and still thinks he has the most accurate ladybug and adrien out there
she does have some criticism of his ladybug characterization actually
there are definitely ladrien vs ladynoir ship wars but adrien ships and writes both
anyways the end up writing a weekly comic where ladrien just go cuddle and go to farmers markets and raise their hamster
except adrien tries to keep it fresh by adding action/adventure, much to marinette's chagrin, because she does not know how to draw a grocery story in space
she also is way too embarassed to draw any of the kisses he writes
this is all via their online handles btw they have no idea who they're collabing with
thanks for the ask, wackus, @frostedpuffs, and @jattendschaton!
