Forget about the tangled web of love that stretches between the M9 (barring Caduceus our aroace king of staying out of drama), I would love if the love triangle between Fjord, Jester and Caleb just somehow naturally fell into a little triad all on its own.
Like no dramatic love confessions, they do that shit constantly with each other in secret little ways, but just Jester coming home to her mother like
Jester: mama I want to introduce my partners to you
The Ruby: ah yes that handsome orc boy that you kept going on about, he was so--
The Ruby: wait, partners???
Jester: lmao yeah I have Fjord, who rejected an eldritch monster he was accidentally raising to get close with Mother Nature herself, but that hobo wizard who eventually cleaned himself up and became one of the most powerful casters around is also my bf.
The Ruby, the actual sex god on this plane of existence and all others: hell yeah my daughter deserves the best, get ‘em my baby girl.
The dynamics of it are so funny as well. Like, Caleb is a highly respected wizard now under the tutelage of several powerful figures, so any time he goes to some sort of elbow-rubbing-fancy-pancy wizard event he of course brings his beaus.
And people are like??? “Ah yes, members of the iconic and world-saving group you are part of Mr Widogast, they must be of such high pedigree.”
And then someone recognises Fjord as Captain Tusktooth who had some sort of fake accent going on for years at a time (and didn’t he sleep with that Captain lady who was horny for water or something??? And then get her killed by the pirate king? There was something about a forbidden eldritch god?) and is praying that Mr Widogast’s other partner is normal--
but the first thing that Jester tells anyone is: “have y’all heard about my mother, best lay in the land? I am the daughter of the greastest sexer around and my childhood imaginary friend is my personal god, anyway how are you?”
Even better, out of the three, the tiny blue tiefling is the only one who can pick up and hoist their partners around, making the comical sight of long-cat and long-suffering Caleb being slung bonelessly over one shoulder, while a blushing Fjord is held like a football under the other as Jester parades them down the street in her cute frilly dresses.
Fucking FjordxJesterxCaleb is where the good shit is at wake up sheeple
Far From Home was 99% Disaster Porn gifted to us by the visual effects department and let me tell you I was HORNY as hell for that good shit!!!!
If c1′s finale was a homage to a life well-lived, a heartfelt and bittersweet goodbye, with Liam O’Brien utilising his character to tell his friends how much they all mean to him, then c2 is a perfect parallel wherein everyone gets to finally say no to fate, to tell a friend that their life is worth everything, and also tell Taliesin Jaffe that through his character that they adore him.
Honestly though they transform so close to other people. In Jackady/SimonSayz when Adrien ducked into his bathroom to 'shower' I bet Nino was just standing outside shaking his head in shame. He can literally hear the bloody theme music and see the sparkles coming out from under the door, let alone not notice the yell of 'Plagg, transform me!' I like to think Nino spent most of that episode trying not to laugh as he watched Adrien make poor excuses just so he could run off and do his magical girl transformation with accompanying music.
While rewatching Miraculous Ladybug today I realised how poorly the children hide when they transform. Marinette jumped behind a wooden bench in a public park right by a fence in Climatika??? That’s not very genius hiding.
Now I’m all for the head cannon that the Miraculous have glamours to hide their identity, but I also like the idea of a Danny Phantom kind of scenario. Like literally every civilian KNOWS who Ladybug and Chat Noir are because they’ve seen them transform right in front of them when the kids think they’re hiding so cleverly in bloody plain sight on the street and just outside class.
However they don’t have the heart to tell the kids that they know as they try so hard to keep their identities hidden (it’s not their fault they’re not very aware of their surroundings), so instead everyone just…pretends they don’t know.
Shop owners will give Adrien and Marinette free products when they realise who they are, but Adrien waves them off as part of being famous and Marinette is too sweet to not believe their excuses of there being extra stock. Their teachers even give them slack when they come in with bags under their eyes after a late night of chasing an akuma.
Alya directs outsiders and tourists away from their identities by feeding the Lasyblog false information. The Parisians are very protective of their heroes.
So basically we just see the series from Marinette and occasionally Adrian’s view, in which they keep their identity safe. Meanwhile everyone around them are trying their best to support the two young teens as discreetly as possible.

Khun: i don’t need friends everyone betrays you
*Rachel appears and Bam ignores everything to focus on her*
Khun: ..... >:( .......well that won’t do
*sits on Bam’s lap* *lays down on Bam’s lap* *literally fucking crowns him* *does everything he can to protect him* *tells him he wants to climb the tower with him even tho last episode he literally had a mental breakdown over trusting anyone ever*
Rak, standing by and watching all this unfold and pissed off since the boys are more focused on seducing each other than winning this fucking test: ....are you sure you don’t want a boyfriend?
It starts because Chat remembers Ladybug's voicemail asking if Marinette was "cute" way back with Evillustrator and snowballs with every dodged request for Multimouse on the grounds of "keeping her safe" since her "identity was known".
And Chat, as he's want to do, puts 2+2 together and gets fucking 23.
Now Chat thinks Ladybug is not only in love with Marinette, but has been secretly pretending to be in love with the famous oTheR BOy maybe to throw Chat off her scent, or maybe because she thinks he won't accept her, oh my god does she think he's homophobic??? What should he do???
Be a good friend and support her, that's what!
Meanwhile, Ladybug has been going through the 5-stages of grief thinking Chat has been scorned by Adrien Agreste at some point since every time she mentions the model Chat's response is increasingly hostile. At first she thought Chat hated Adrien, but all his comments seem to be critical of his inability to face conflict?? Or show his true feelings?? "Pretty boy" is said with such scorn that Ladybug (who is also the Anxiety-Catastrophic-inclining Marinette who regularly declares her own death at minor inconveniences and whenever she gets hit with her long list of secondhand embarrassments) has made up a whole backstory of how Chat is secretly bisexual and is using Ladybug to get over his horrific attempt at trying to express his feelings towards Adrien oh poor Chat she totally understands where you're coming from you poor kitty.
Cue Chat trying to wheedle out Ladybug's secret relationship with Marinette by making more comments about Multimous and how nice it was to do that mission with Marinette! Can he do it again? While also making more visits to her balcony to figure out why LB fell in love with his shy, awkward, yet brilliant classmate and oh god oh no she's actually really funny and sassy and way too cool for Chat or Adrien LB has fucking TASTE!!
(he also has been really emphasising his support for gay rights every time he hangs out with Ladybug (which isn't helping his 'secret pining bi' angle LB is frothing over) to the point where even local news outlets and the LadyBlog are debating whether Chat is queer af (which has always been a pretty firm belief in Paris, what with the leather outfit and hand gestures like ✨you know✨) or just pro-LGBT+)
On the other hand, Marinette has being trying to suss out this ""secret mean side"" of Adrien's that has made Chat into such a scorned lover, resulting in her being a little cooler to Adrien, which in turn has made her actually capable of speaking to him now he isn't some perfect figure on a pedestal.
("Plagg! Marinette frowned at me when I accidentally bumped into her today and told me to 'watch it, pretty boy' before leaving!!! She didn't stutter like usual, which I thought she did because she hated me, but what does this mean now????"
"That I'm not paid enough for this")
Except Chat has also been sniffing around her balcony a lot and she can't help but feel sorry for a fellow Adrien-Lover, so now she's been spending a lot of free nights with him and wow he's actually so sweet and shy beneath the flirty attitude and oh no he's actually kind of hot, and if Ladybug was the rebound from Adrien does that make Marinette a viable love interest??? W H A T???
This got away from me, but honestly we're at the point that it'd be so much funnier to make the lovesquare even more complex like yeah fuck it up you two dumbasses.
Is anyone going to mention the fact that the artists were doing more than just "sleeping in the Royal bed"?? Like we aren't stupid, we know what's up...a new ot3. The musician and Buffon may argue occasionally, but it's loving bickering. And the mime is their beautiful gender-fluid queen who they worship.
I'm not gonna lie, the possibility of Deku growing up to be a Beefy Boy, whose muscular thighs makes all genders swoon, positively delights me. Like the people from his past school hear about this upcoming hero with the same name as that kid they once bullied and they're like "I bet that lame as Deku isn't even a good hero,..." And then they pull up the trending picture of Deku in his debut fight, and it's just this absolute God with a look pure determination on his bloodied face and a torn uniform that reveals rippling abs and biceps that make those ex-bullies fucking choke. Just give me a ripped af Deku that calls back to All Might's hero form in a less exaggerated manner and makes all the guys, gals and non-binary pals fall head over heels. ....,..,but also, the thought of Deku growing up with his gangly noodly self still intact is also interesting. Like he keeps his slender build and his pretty boy features become goDLIKE and everyone's still in love with him, but villains are super freaked out every time this slender and feminine looking boy just fuckING DESTROYS A BUILDING WITH A PUNCH. Just any form Deku takes will be amazing cause this boy his so good and will be a hero that goes down in history.
Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul. Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of "men who stay still are boring". Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al's decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world. Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit. Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don't need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she's needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy. Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren't trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services. They miss home on the road, but wouldn't give up on seeing the world for anything.
Reblogging with the proper pronouns for Sophie because I am a fool who forgot they use they/them. Thanks @oddeyelesbian for the reminder!!
