“If I Die, I Want You All To Know That I’m No Hero, But I’m Sure As Hell Not A Coward.”

local bitch decides to daydream instead of getting a degree

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

You know what would’ve been so cool? If Fèlix and Chat Blanc were a 2-part episode. It starts off introducing Fèlix, and Adrien remarks to Nino that he’s a little more like his dad, cold and passive to the point of being unintentionally rude. Fèlix gets akumatized for unrelated reasons, but while he’s akumatized he realizes - he recognizes Hawkmoth.

The episode ends with him going back to the house, speaking with Gabriel and saying that he has to leave early. The scene is tense, because Gabriel is obviously suspicious as to why, and Fèlix won’t stop glaring at him. Something finally clicks in Gabriel’s expression, and he smiles.

“Of course” he says, opening the door. “Speak with Nathalie, she’ll see to it that you’re delivered back home.”

Fèlix feels like it’s too easy, something has to be wrong. Why would he let him go so easily? He’s walking toward the staircase to say goodbye to Adrien, when Gabriel calls out to him, asking what he’s doing.

“I’m just going to say goodbye to my cousin.” Fèlix says. “You do speak to each other in this household, correct?”

Gabriel’s mouth twitches.

“Of course. But it would be unwise to disturb Adrien when he should be doing coursework. I’ll have Nathalie let him know you’re leaving.”

And Fèlix glares at him again, because he doesn’t WANT Nathalie to tell Adrien anything. He’s trying to get Adrien out of the house so Gabriel can’t hurt him, and since he was just akumatized he knows Gabriel would use his sweet, unassuming, totally defenseless (wink wink) cousin’s emotions to get what he wants, family or not.

Fèlix grits his teeth, and starts back down the stairs, when he has an idea. He begins speaking loudly, loudly enough for Adrien to hear his voice through his door. He’s hoping that Adrien will be curious enough to open his door, and in his mind he begs that Adrien will be curious enough to take Fèlix aside.

All of this is completely reversed when he gets to the bottom of the stairs, and Gabriel immediately hugs him. Fèlix stiffens, defenses raised. What on earth is he doing?

“It pains me to know that someone of your talent is wasting it.” Says Gabriel. “I need you to know, even though I wasn’t able to be there, I am so proud of the person you have become. I have seen your accomplishments from afar, and you are constantly raising the bar for other children your age.”

Fèlix is speechless, stunned into silence. What on earth is he on about?

Gabriel pulls back, placing his hand on Felix’s shoulder.

“You are truly the son I never had.”

With that, he turns and walks away not even sparing a glance back, leaving Fèlix alone at the base of the staircase.

Fèlix turns, shaking his head, to see Adrien’s door slam shut.

“No!” He yells, racing up the staircase, and banging against the door. “Adrien! Adrien, please open up. This is important!”

No answer.

Fèlix is ready to just knock the door down, when he hears “Dusuu, feathers up.”

The screen goes dark.

Chat Blanc begins and Adrien is crying in his room. Plagg is trying to talk him down, but he knows that Adrien’s number one emotional weakness is rejection. If Plagg thought it was bad with Ladybug, it was a hundred times worse when it was his father. And Plagg knows that Hawkmoth just played his chosen like a damn fiddle.

“Why would he say that?” He whispers, and Plagg can’t answer, even though he knows exactly why.

Plagg tries to offer going for a run, just to clear his mind and escape, but Adrien is so distraught that it doesn’t work the first few times.

Adrien ultimately agrees, transforming and racing out the window. He’s sobbing, the air too cold around him, his stomach twisting as he remembers what his father said.

“You are truly the son I never had.”

He stops, his emotions finally getting the better part of him as he crumples against a gargoyle on Notre Dame. He’s so anxious and angry and upset that he can’t even see straight.

He can’t even see the butterfly heading right for his mask.

He startles when he hears the voice, promising him power in exchange for his and Ladybug’s miraculous. He promises revenge on those who reject him, promises that he will finally be enough for others, promises that he will never feel so alone and helpless again.

Chat Noir doesn’t hear a word.

He recognizes that voice.

sorry to get romantic on main but i want to go to an art museum and hold hands with someone i care about

The hopeless romantic urge to look at the moon and stars, forever.

annotating my books gives me a unique sort of literary validation i don't think we as a society talk enough about. like here is my favorite book i annotated staying up for days and nights. here, my words are attached with the writers forever on these pages now and i think that's just so beautiful

no because when everything everywhere all at once said “‘alone I’m useless’ ‘everyone’s useless alone. good thing we’re not alone.’” and “in another life, i would have loved to have just done laundry and taxes with you” and “you think i am naive. i’ve been alive just as many years as you. this [love] is how i fight” and “of all the places i could be, I just want to be here with you” and-

“The best tool a liar can have is a reputation for telling the truth.”
