Doing another re-read of Scarlet Lady and I don't remember if this was asked before. Since Tikki and Pollen are essentially roommates (kwami rommies. Kwammies?) now that Marinette has both of them, is there anything in particular that they like to do together? Ex: chatting, playing a game, etc.

They for sure like gardening together! Bugs do like the outdoors~ And I think they'd both enjoy being Marinette's mini models.

5 Years of Scarlet Lady! I can't believe it's been half a decade! Thank you to everyone for hanging on!

Okay I know this isn't going to happen, but what's stopping Tikki from outing Chloe as the miraculous thief to Plagg and Pollen? Yeah she can't say her holder's name, but why not "the mayor's daughter" to get around that, since Chloe wasn't supposed to have the Ladybug miraculous? Love your work~ ❤️

Hi, thank you! Plagg and Pollen both know that Scarlet Lady is Chloe.

Plagg since "Rogercop":

And Pollen since "Riposte":

Kwamis don't operate on normal logic. There's literally spells in place to prevent directly giving away someone's identity.

Tikki is duty bound and has it deeply instilled that ratting out your holder is a big no-no (though she's mentally at the point where if there were an alternate in the wings, she would nudge things in that direction.)

Plagg is an agent of chaos and willing to let things land where they may. If it ever went to far, he'd put a bit of effort into hinting at Scarlet Lady's identity, but that's "too far" by the Kwami of Destruction's standards.

Pollen has been given strict instruction from Tikki that telling on Scarlet Lady is a no-no and Against the Rules. And Pollen is a follower, loyal to a fault. Maybe if Marinette asked her directly, Pollen would make concessions for her...but Marinette doesn't know Pollen knows, so she doesn't know to even ask.

Does Pollen actually know who is Scarlet Lady? If so why doesn’t she point out who Scarlet Lady is so then they can just replace her, cuz she kinda already exposed Mari-

She's known since Riposte.

Tikki layed down the law and Pollen is nothing if not loyal to a fault, so if Tikki says no telling then Pollen's not telling.

What is the relationship between Marinette and Pollen, Adrien and Plagg and Chloe and Tikki

Marinette adores Pollen and treats her mostly like a friend and sometimes like a precious pet(?) I can't think of another way to describe it, like, not like a pet as in a dumb animal to take care of but like how you become devoted to your cat or dog and pamper them a little excessively. She's a Bee Mom now.

Pollen thinks the sun shines out of Marinette's face. She thinks highly of most all of her holders regardless of how they use the bee, so Marinette being respectful and justice oriented and creative and willing to listen to Pollen and willing to DOTE on Pollen makes her like level 9000 peak holder. It makes Pollen want to be selfish and hold onto her.

Adrien and Plagg are basically bros. Brothers? Like how you get on each other's nerves but you love each other (and younger Bro Adrien looks up to Plagg a bit for being so "I do what I want"). Adrien wants Plagg's attention and affection even though it's usually irritating, like sharing his cheese or using his hair as a cat bed, but he secretly loves it. It's also nice to have someone constantly next to him willing to throw shade back and forth, not treating him like a tool or hot commodity.

Plagg is so not used to someone as SENSITIVE as Adrien, but while he's bringing out some of Adrien's snark, Adrien's bringing out some of Plagg's softness. I mean, c'mon, he SANG for Adrien, if that's not LOVE-

Chloe and Tikki are basically sisters. Like how you're forced to live together but you have nothing in common but you can't escape each other because you share a room. And Chloe is not having Big Sis Tikki's unsolicited advice. If Chloe didn't need Tikki, she'd probably be locked in a glass case or something or thrown out on the street (which at this point Tikki might prefer).

Poor Tikki is just trying to stop Chloe from ruining everything but it's like Chloe's DETERMINED or something. Dammit, if she didn't have this Older Sibling Obligation to try and make things go smoothly, she'd be so OUT of here. Chloe might be the most difficult holder she's ever had - even if she was stuck with someone like Hawkmoth, at least she'd know where she stood, but being with Chloe is like some weird mid point limbo of "are we doing good? I THINK this is good, but it feels bad."

Okay I love every bit of the Scarlet Lady comic but seriously. I just. TIKKI. HER EXPRESSIONS AND REACTIONS ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST.

Here’s a compilation of Tikki’s best What Has The Universe Brought Me faces:

(with a bonus face from a future page)

Tikki sees your sins Chloe!

Some dialogue among the Kwamis in the lockers while their bearers are in classes?

Tikki: “She’s so unbearable I don’t know if I can keep this up.

Pollen: “Please cheer up honeybug, things will work out!”

Plagg: “Want me to explode all her pens in her makeup bag?”

Tikki: “Plagg, that’s a terrible idea.”

Tikki: “She doesn’t own any pens.”

Hi I've been following your AU for awhile now and I was wondering how Tikki and Marinette would react to meeting each other for the first time? Will there be tears? Will Tikki finally get the cookies she rightfully deserves?

Tikki: *sniff* “MOMMY I’m HOME!”

Marinette: *through tears* “My poor baby you look positively starved what did she DO to you?!”
