Posting this as I run out the door.

Hey!

I’m going out of town this weekend so I figured now was a good time to post this. Hope you enjoy.

Profanity warning.

Amelie rallies the troops, Marinette designs, Lila has a big scene and Felix reaches out to Marinette and Luka with an offer of friendship.

Taglist:

Worthy Opponent Chapter 18

Since they had lost two days due to the mysterious “accident” the cast and crew weren’t in the best of moods and lots of finger-pointing and accusations went on until Amelie called an emergency staff meeting.

Hey, Look at This!

Hello!

I want to thank everyone who’s stuck with me through this fic so far. I know the MLB fandom isn’t what it was and neither is MLB. I appreciate your faith in me, especially my co-writer @arylace.

And my super sweet taglist!

Contains profanity

TW: For brief mentions of blood, death and domestic/child abuse

Also contains bitchy Chloe, sassy kwami, and a tiny drill sargeant.

I apologize for any and all inaccuracies about European martial arts training. Most of this chapter was researched using the internet, esp. WikiHow.

Worthy Opponent Chapter 17

Amelie and the others didn’t get back from Versaille until late so Felix waited until nine o’clock to text them. Except for Chloe. Chloe was special.

I didn’t forget this time! Woo!

Okay, so here’s chapter 16 of Worthy Opponent. Thanks for waiting and I hope you like it!

Taglist ahoy:

Worthy Opponent Chapter Sixteen

Time seemed slow for the teenagers. Viscous and languid as all they could do was stare in absolute horror.

For a fraction of a moment, miniscule seconds their world was still.

A pinch of this, a scoop of Myvan

Hey!

So…here’s ch 15 of Worthy Opponent. Contains Marlowe’s debut, Ivan making a gift for Mylene and dancing.

Note: I know next to nothing about waltzing so if someone could tell me more, let me know.

Taglist, yo!

Worthy Opponent Chapter Fifteen

“How’s the investigation going so far, Spade?”

Alfonso leaned against a wall, nearly in the shadows as Jayden walked by. The other boy never called him by his first name, only his last, as if they were mere acquaintances instead of classmates who’d known each other for eleven years.

Allo!

So I decided not to wait until the very last day of the month to update. Hope you like it!

Taglisth

The parents of the main characters meet and ship over brunch, the Quantic Kids and Chloe visit a Rage Room and Marinette redecorates while making an important realization.

Contains profanity. TW: Mentions of past bullying and parental issues.

Worthy Opponent Chapter 14

The invitations were written in calligraphy on cotton stationery and hand delivered. The participants were escorted into sedans and driven to their destinations, except for one, who insisted on riding her Vespa.

Sticking some of my art stuff here!
I’ve put this on my main writing blog a BUNCH of times but my favourite ship for Marinette now is her and Damian, so have some MariDami / Daminette art!
Marinette is wearing a dress I actually own and I reckon she designed Damian’s suit as well so that’s my little HC for it?? 👉🏻👈🏻
Also this Damian is based off of the “Wayne Family Adventures” comic, which I am IN LOVE with, so you’ll be a seeing a bunch of it. ♡
And just under Marinette’s hair, you can kind’a see the MDC logo I made 😊

I needed this drag. Let’s change guys and not look back

working out your brain is a must!!

• hydrate it by drinking lots of water

• eat dark chocolate and blueberries and walnuts and salmon and other foods high in antioxidants!!

• play little brain games on your phone; I like wordconenct! anything that makes you think!

• read books. It’s simple but necessary. Even better - join a book club, or read with a friend, so you can have discussions after. This will improve your reading comprehension.

• do puzzles - it doesnt have to be sudoku, I love playing Beat Saber on the Oculus Rift because it makes my brain have to match colorful patterns to physical movements very quickly!

• learn a new dance - even a tik tok trendy dance. Learning new dance moves are proven to strengthen synapses!!

• go bird watching, or foraging, or anything outdoors that requires you to explore pattern recognition and visual searching

• watch a movie with the intent of analysis - this is best done with a cinephile friend!! talk about tropes and symbolism and character growth

• cross stitch, or sew, or do anything that requires matching nimble hand movements to patterns

• play or learn an instrument!

• develop a consistent sleep schedule (or as close to consistent as you can get!)

• when eating, try to identify the ingredients and flavors you’re perceiving!

I hope this helps :)

I like how this went from me feeling like “hm why is this attacking me 🤨” at first, but feeling grateful seeing an added guide on a genuine expansion on a “ how to” work out the brain. This genuinely helps a bunch. People find solace in doing activities that get them through life by doing said activities of phone/tv or if that’s all they’ve ever known in their life to get them through things + etc tho. However, this was very impt to point out. Slowly beginning incorporating things to work the brain in ones own time.

Whoops...

So…yeah. I nearly forgot to post a chapter this month. All I can say is…I was tired. So here’s Worthy Opponent Ch 13

Special thanks as always to @arylace for encouraging me. Or is that enabling me?

My super sweet taglist:

Trigger warnings for mentions of past bullying and mentions of death.

Also, definitely not a date.

I know very little about Vietnamese or French cuisine so if someone does and could let me know if I missed up any names, let me know.

Worthy Opponent Chapter 13

“Marinette? There’s someone here to see you.”

Sabine’s voice sounded amused and Marinette knew Felix must be downstairs.

“I’ll be right down!” she called out and looked at herself in the mirror one more time. She liked the side ponytail and was glad to see her hair had grown longer over the summer. Her halter top and multi striped romper shorts turned out to be pretty cute and she paired it with a straw hat large enough to keep the sun over her face and shoulders. She swiped some gloss across her lips, put some cookies in her purse for Tikki,  and then made her way downstairs.

I Like Swords

Hey there!

As promised, here’s chapter twelve of Worthy Opponent. Thanks for waiting. 

My lovely taglist:

Apologies in advance. I know next to nothing about fencing and most of my info came from YouTube and Wikihow. Shout out to my cowriter @arylace for her amazing tolerance.

Warning: Contains Felix being mean, Marinette being sassy, everyone scheming and Adrien getting a salt scrub.

Worthy Opponent Chapter Twelve

“Felix? Marinette? Luka? Allegra? Could you come over here, please? We have something to discuss.”

The four actors looked up from the scene they were rehearsing and made their way over to the director’s chair.

Amelie beckoned to them, almost vibrating in place with excitement. Her smile was wide and bright. Felix couldn’t help but smile back at seeing his mother so happy.

Classics on sale

Marinette sighed as she scanned over the shelves. This had to be the fifth bookstore that Damian and her had been in today. She did not know what to expect with this hunt, only that Damian was after a very specific book. A classic of English he said, and it was hard to track down.

The Flower Crown Chronicles

AN: Thank you everyone for all your likes and reblogs! Here's another chapter, which as always you can read over on ao3 here! I hope you enjoy it, you might just spot a familiar face!

CW: homophobic comments, racist comments, and bad language

Chapter 3: Lemonade Stand

Damian pulls up to Richard’s house – a whitewashed brick two-story building situated atop a hill – and parks along the side of the street, as the… occupied driveway provides him no room.

He turns off his car and takes a fortifying breath before exiting. The midday sun shines full above with enough heat to fry an egg on the pavement. Damian approaches his brother’s, normally nice and peaceful, suburban house with trepidation.

What in the world are his siblings thinking?

Pokemon AU

[Wicked Sanctuary - Worldbuilding Part 1]

At a young age, Damian was given an Eevee.

Given by his mother, Eevee served to represent Damian’s ambition, a challenge so to speak— his mother had given him a test to evolve this PKMN to its most powerful form.

He’s been told that his father went through the same trials as well and evolved his Eevee into a dignified Umbreon; a predator of the night, fitting of his father’s esteem. It’s only right that Damian’s given the same test as well.

Damian tends to his Eevee as best as he can. Training it all that he knows. Tending to the small pup when it’s injured so Damian will be repaid in loyalty and obedience for the rest of it’s life.

A Vaporeon could’ve been satisfactory— a water-type born from the depths of the Lazarus Pits, or even an Espeon to prove Damian’s worthiness as a trainer of the League.

So when his efforts had only granted him Sylveon the literal symbol of affection; a weakness to be culled, Talia forced Damian into two choices; kill it and start anew with another Eevee before his grandfather noticed, or…

It’s only because of Talia’s decision to leave Damian and his pokemon in Bruce’s care that Sylveon was spared.

Damian will never admit to anyone but himself that he was grateful that his mother was more focused on the infighting within the League that she’d ignore him and his Sylveon for a while. It had been—not unpleasant to have Sylveon by his side, and it’d be a shame— a waste of time to start again with another Eevee. One day, Damian swears, he’ll prove that Sylveon has something to offer to the League, nevermind the egregious symbol the pokemon stands for.

Unknown to Damian, Sylveon was insecure of his place by Damian’s side— As an Eevee, he was loved because of his potential to evolve into anything, but now that he’s Sylveon, he brought shame to his trainer and ended up making his pack disown Damian.

So everyday, in the Wayne Manor grounds, Sylveon works his ass off to prove his worth without rest. So that one day he won’t be able to doubt his place beside Damian anymore. —-Author’s Note Below—–

The Flower Crown Chronicles

A/N: You can read this on ao3 here, if you want to get updates when I post!

Chapter 2: Popsicles and Ice Cream

The Parisian-themed ice cream shop sits nestled between an abandoned building, and a pet shop Marinette’s eighty percent sure a front for the Russian mob. Grime coats every surface, like every other place in Gotham; faded paper murals peel off nicotine-stained walls, and the foggy glass dome over the ice cream containers stays dingy no matter how many times it’s cleaned. Old-time accordion music plays over a crackly speaker, the cashiers wear white button-ups and berets, and a tiny plush poodle sits on the counter.

The shop embodies every French stereotype Americans have.

It’s sad.

It’s insulting.

And it’s the closest thing to home in this cursed city, so she goes every week.

No interruptions at Midnight

I have finally completed the Daminette December, 2021, and it it ... December 60. Yep, totally on time.

Damian sighed as he looked around the room filled with people who were all idiots and social ladder climbers. He was used to these but he really wished he wasn't. What he would like is to be 10 again and able to get out of these events because he was unsociable and more likely to stab a person who squeezed his cheeks.

Now instead, at the prime age of 18, he had mothers and fathers practically trying to gain favour and throwing their daughters at him. A tie to the Wayne family could and would take you anywhere particularly with the funds to back it.

Needless to say, he was sure the only person enjoying this less than him was Cass as guys threw themselves at her. Honestly, he was over with the evening. But as a new years party, he was not going to get out before midnight. That was the biggest disappointment tonight; he often left at a more reasonable hour. Social events were not his ideal place to be.

The Flower Crown Chronicles

How do two guarded souls fall in love?

It starts with flower crowns, daggers, and a whole lot of luck.

Marinette and Damian's love story was meant to be, but it took them a while to get with the picture.

Chapter 1: Outdoor Festival

A/N: Back at it with a new fic! Really excited about this one, as always if you want to read it on ao3, you can go here, but otherwise enjoy!

Small patches of weeds grow along the bottom of brightly colored stalls with hawkers selling their wares. Cheery carnival music drifts through the air, meshing with the crowd’s laughing and chattering. The dry dirt pathways kick up clouds of dust as people wander through the crowded fair.

It is hot.

It is crowded.

And Damian wants to go home.
