i often, with very little seriousness, say that i prefer to read shoujo, josei, and the occasional seinen manga over anything from shounen magazines because even if they take a turn in quality, at least they will End within my lifetime HFKJSDHKDSHFD and this really is a joke: mostly as a way to combat the last 15 years of shounen elitists coming at me for liking things published in different magazines while also, in a slightly self deprecating way, pointing out how a lot of series in other magazine demographics usually either end at a natural stopping point or get canned unceremoniously with no conclusion (although shounen magazines are no stranger to the latter either LOL the nature of magazine publishing........) compared to just going on for hundreds of chapters after the quality took a nosedive
but make no mistake, despite how a lot (and i mean a LOT) of shoujosei is cancelled early before it can really start to get bad (or it gets trapped in an eternal hiatus because of magazine changes, or it just ends normally LOL), there are still plenty of series that went on way too long or struggled because of their length. some are worse than others: i remember Special A being solid but with a serious plateauing problem in like the latter half where it felt stagnant and boring (albeit not egregious or anger inducing or anything). but then theres other stuff like. hkjfdajhkgrlfjd. Peach Girl my beloved and beloathed <3 HHRJKFJRFEd and dont even talk to me about Vampire Knight or Black Bird. don't even say those words to me
and of course getting cancelled early can also give a series a great opportunity to fumble the bag horrendously in 3 chapters or less: one of my favourite shoujo manga of all time, Penguin Revolution, has an absolutely hilarious last chapter in that you can feel how much the author was like "SHIT FUCK I NEED TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT NOW" so hard that i cant even be mad about it LOL
and with that as a preamble: last night i finished reading A Devil and Her Love Song/Akuma to Love Song and well. um.,
quick TW: because of the topics that the manga touches on, I am going to talk a little bit about sexual assault, specifically sexual assault of a minor, and suicide. i will do it somewhat frankly because i want to take it seriously and not beat around the bush and i will do my best, but feel free to let me know if im off-base
SO the first half of the series is really solid, specifically with the characters. Maria in the beginning, especially with the bullying arc, was really engaging as someone so (intentionally or otherwise) neurodivergently coded. and The Boys: Shin and Yusuke were also really strong - moreso on Yusuke's end as like, a foil to Maria's complete inability to mask, Yusuke is like the king of masking. but even Shin, despite everything that comes later (and we'll get to that. by god we will get to that) was also interesting as like a foil in a different direction: a person resigned to his loneliness compared to Maria's drive to connect despite her struggles. And despite how sidelined the girls get, in theory I really loved Ayu and Tomoyo's connection to Maria and the whole squad as well (can't help but love a mean girl redeemed and a shy but secret goth kid respectively)
the series starts to take a turn for the worse after the new school bullying storyline and into the beginning of the Anna Situation. im gonna refer to this Anna, the friend of Maria's from her old catholic school who lost her voice as Anna (friend). it seems clunky but we'll come back to that LOL
i actually didn't hate the whole situation, i found Anna pretty compelling in her anger and resentment and even cruelty, and i was invested in seeing how her relationship with Maria would pan out. unfortunately she herself was basically forgotten about after she moves away to america and instead a lot of the situation was spent focusing on Shin's turmoil which was where his character started to. test me.
this is where Maria's backstory with her mother comes in: maria was born from the rape of her 14 year old mother, who then committed suicide with a preschooler Maria in her arms because of the turmoil and the way she and Maria were treated in the aftermath. this is. an absolutely unreal turn. really fucking dark and tough topic, but i had an inkling of hope! the series was handling its first like, 30 chapters with a surprising amount of care despite some clumsiness...
and the thing is i love a lot of stories that attempt to handle dark topics in loud, fumbling ways as long as theres a sense of compassion and honesty in it you know? and compassion and honest really is the thing, i actually prefer a messy but earnest story about dark and sad events compared to something that knows all the correct words to say while still dancing around serious topics (this is a problem i run into often in recent years. i think its a selfconciousness in storytelling that makes me feel like im being talked down to you know?)
but there is a difference between fumbling a bit an dropping the ball entirely. and MAN that ball was dropped HARD when you bring in the american soldier kidnapper and rapist of the main character's middleschool aged mother and try to turn him into some "redeemed" priest goofy crybaby dad character for the main character to forgive and reconnect with. but we'll get to that, i need to get back to shin
Shin learns from Anna (friend) about Maria's past and how Maria had forgotten it all because of the trauma, but may remember when she's held by others. not wanting to retraumatize her, and believing not remembering her past is what's best for her, he starts distancing himself from her. he also tells the other boys, the blonde bitches (Yusuke and Kurosu (we'll get to him later i prommy)) that have a crush on Maria as well about this, essentially deciding for Maria that she should never learn her past and attempting to control her relationships with other boys behind her back. THIS is intensely possessive and paternalistic WHICH in a vacuum COULD BE a really interesting, dark, but prescient and complex major character flaw to explore (especially in a story written for young women and girls like a manga serialized in Margaret would be). unfortunately the story never grapples with it, its framed like your classic possessive-but-like-in-a-sexy-fantasy-way despite being written in an incredibly embarassing and pathetic manner
like dear GOD i wanted nothing more than him to get some sense knocked into him by the blonde bitches. i LOVE a good character arc where a shojo manga love interest with possessive tendencies learns to respect his gf's autonomy its a classic!! especially with Maria's past, learning that helping someone with trauma means being there for her, not controlling her life behind her back! so much potential there
but alas. all we got was Shin hiding in the shadows from Maria for several volumes until, during an argument where Maria remembers her past and has a panic attack, he attempts to force himself on her and gets his hand hurt in the process. and. god. this is a shojo manga trope i Do Not Care For, honestly it is one of the few things that'll sour me complete on something:
the plotline where through a series of very bizarre circumstances the main love interest will sexually assault (or attempt to) the main character and then get really mopey about it (ouuhhhh im the baad guy how could i do thisssss i feel so sorrrrrrry for myself) and then the narrative will bend over backwards to say that UMMM ACTUALLY its okay the main character wasn't upset about that! it was something else! she didn't think it was rape!! she's cool with it!!! don't feel bad love interest guy!!! LITERALLY i hate it so much. the next several volumes spends so much time on Shin trying to make him feel better about his hand injury and how everything he did was okay because Maria loves him and it was PAINFUL so so frustrating
which brings me to the other guys, the blond bitches. Yusuke is mvp we know this, especially in the early volumes. but after he realized maria's in love with Shin no matter what and he has no chance, he also becomes frustrating because all his edges get sanded off, he's still a wonderful friend to Maria (although he unfortunately drinks Shin's koolaid and also hides her past from her) but he completely stops pushing Shin to be better which makes both characters worse. he was so interesting as the king of masking, such a relatable character type but MAN things went downhill
earlier in the series before Shin tries to push himself on Maria and I was still a bit sympathetic to him, i was thinking like damn. Maria should just get with Shin because she likes him but also setup a polycule where the two blonde bitches can orbit around and keep shin in check LOL
and kurosu. im going back to kurosu finally. a third anime boy has hit the love triangle. hes contentious for very valid reasons but the thing is. i kinda liked him? OKAY okay he has serious SERIOUS personal space issues which were played a little too much for laughs and we'll get to his relationship with Maria's father in a moment but i couldnt help but relate to a big dumb seemingly outgoing but still distant kid who talks too much about horny shit. Yusuke is just like me fr but. also. Kurosu is just like me (idiot highschooler edition) frrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry i do see a bit of myself in him. hell i even see a bit of myself (dumb possessive middleschooler edition) in the earlier versions of Shin (before you know. he went off the rails), and i think thats whats so frustrating: these characters start with ideas that are ALMOST relatable and intriguing character flaws and then it just descends into madness
and back on kurosu's relationship with Maria's biological father, it is pretty fucked that he hides the fact that he knows Maria is the daughter of the child his adoptive father figure raped for so long, and its especially fucked he brought Maria to the church where maria's bio dad is now a priest taking care of orphans as like a way to "reunite" them and show that "he's changed" and such, but this is really a problem less with the characters and more with the way the story's themes are coalescing in general. The character of Kurosu himself was quite interesting as like a foil to the foils of maria and yusuke, simultaneously really good at masking while also not being good at ALL. and I loved that he got on Shin's case to stop being so possessive and weird about maria. And not to be all "he's literally neurodivergent and a minor" but i can't get all that mad at a 15 year old who (as revealed really quickly in a random chapter near the end) who had to leave his abusive father and scared abused mother under really traumatic circumstances and then suddenly was taken in by a seemingly kind priest trying so hard to defend said priest. i think theres something very compelling and emotionally resonant there: grappling with the the fact that someone you love, someone who treats you with such kindness, someone who you think saved you even, could have been so cruel to your other loved ones.
i know i have a bajillion experiences like that (much smaller scale things like finding out a person who was nice to u is bullying others, or more serious things. im sure im not the only one who's got crazy shit happening with cousins and aunties and uncles and such). like it changes things: you can't just sit idle about it, but you also don't have the authority to confront anyone, you can't go back to the way things were before and there's an irreparable distance between you, but you don't know how to move forward other than letting that distance grow. I think theres something here!!! but unfortunately, the series as a whole was largely uninterested with anything other than turning the main character's mother's rapist into a doting father type character out of nowhere, treating the aforementioned rape as if it was just a little "mistake"
when i read or watch something and i have a very strong reaction to it, good or bad, i often like to look at reviews afterwards. a lot of people seem to think theres no reason to look at reviews if you already have your own opinion, but i personally find them really helpful to get new perspectives and sometimes find catharsis with others with similar perspectives to mind. and so i was looking at some fan reviews and this review's first line killed me
THEYRE NOT WRONG the full sentence is "This story really reminds me of Usagi Drop, just for the way that the ending butchers my enjoyment fo the entire series" which is VERY true, but also its very true more specifically n the sense of WHY on gods green earth is this series trying to frame the rape of a young teenager as a romantic thing (albeit in akuma to love song's case the circumstances are less grooming and more violence, which just makes it bizarre in a different way). but this person's review is great, it just puts the problems with the series in such a succinct way: it swiftly turns from a decent little drama about teenagers learning to grapple with communication into Rape Apologia: The Manga.
all in all i think the big problem with akuma to love song is how much the story is just uninterested in the topics it brings up. its not a matter of taking on tough subject matter and handling it in a slightly clumsy way, its a matter of taking on tough subject matter and then trying to tie it all up in a neat little black and white bow. the series best part of the series, which is kind of seen in the section where all the kids go to the beach together, is when the characters try to learn to communicate and be honest with eachother despite their difficulties. but that was forgotten and thrown away for some very bizarrely cruel melodrama, brushing aside one of the biggest victims: Anna (mother), the girl who was assaulted and the abandoned by all her loved ones in the process. a teenage girl alone with just a toddler. a character the series had no interest in, not her life or thoughts or agency. really depressing
also yeah maria's teenage mother has the same name (and looks???) as one of her former best friends. and you know. thats what got me kind of thinking. with how much Anna (friend) was like completely forgotten about. i honestly wonder how the writing for this series went. this is why ive been so frustrated after all, its highs are so good but its lows are so so SO disastrous. it appears to have been in a biweekly version of Margaret, im unsure if it was published in every issue though. if it was, maybe rushing to get out something every two weeks was in part to blame for how downhill the writing got? i dont think manga should be published more than once a month at most, i think its unethical working conditions for the sake of a worse product and its bad for everyone involved.
and i know its not really considered standard in art and media criticism to focus so much on the working conditions and mindset the author was in while creating. looking at art as itself divorced from its circumstances and death of the author (as in the actual essay meaning like the author is not god and the intended interpretation is no more or less important than the audiences) and so on and so forth. but i can't help it ive always been like this LOL if something bad i wonder how the creator felt creating it....
but anyway. now. one thing i will give the series: they did not randomly pair off the remaining ensemble cast at the end. one thing about shoujo manga, especially from the 2000s is that if there are an equal number of boys and girls, they will be unceremoniously split into couples by the end regardless of how compatible they are HJKDLDHFJKD i was so scared when i realized there were three boys and maria had two gal pals. i was so scared. but we were spared from that at least orz
i do want you to know something though. despite all my criticism, the thing about this all: i love garbage. i love trash. i will read like anything even if its bad as long as i think i can get SOMETHING out of it. even if that something is just "wow that was bad". do you remember the aforementioned Black Bird? what did i get out of that? i dunno, probably just something absolutely crazy to read in a public library as a 17 year old LOL. i love garbage melodramatic soap opera bullshit so much
but i think what frustrated me so much about akuma to love song, as mentioned before, is that it was like. genuinely really good! in some parts! its the potential that is killing me i think. its one thing to read some big dumb and questionable melodrama knowing what youre getting into in the first few chapters, and its another thing to start out written with such emotional intelligence only to take a complete and utter nosedive so dramatically
is this how shounen manga readers feel all the time. dear god.
but well. i guess i still got something out of 90 chapters of this. a really strong start. some good art. and a what-not-to-do manual for the latter half
100% and more theres favoritism for luxiem! everytime the boys have shared stories about conventions and event travel+what they do at events in Japan its like the staff is expensively pampering them each time as they have talked a few times about staff buying them expensive meals from restaurants and taking them places unrelated to events.
this pampering, mind you, that the other waves seem to never talk about having or experiencing themselves.
Considering how they are one of the only male groups in Nijisanji en (I think) and those three have thousands of thirsty fans, the favoritism is definetly the main reason Vox and Ike defended Nijisanji. They probably don't believe they would be getting that treatment from say, Hololive or Vshojo.
I've seen the Vox akuma twitter stans, it's bizarre how horny they are and how much they are trying to defend that man. I'm sorry, but how can you still be attracted to a guy that has shown that he:
1. Lied about caring about suicide awareness
And 2. Will bully and harass you into self harm if he doesn't like you.
No sexy voice can erase a shitty personality for me.

The many realizations I've had over the past few months after the season 5 finale of Miraculous Ladybug have absolutely rocked me to the core.
Firstly, the fact Adrien's mom wasn't revived and it was his aunt at the pool shocked me tremendously, but made so much more sense considering Natalie was the one brought back. Also Gabe would never be so selfless to let Emilie live knowing he couldn't be with her, like bro was so obsessed with control over everything surrounding him that he believed he had ownership over (which included his wife), even the idea of his wife living out of his view would probably drive him insane.
Secondly, so many characters just, like tried to kill themselves??? Kagami literally attempting to dissolve into nothingness in Perfection when she believed she had no friends, and Adrien in season 4 in Guiltrip when he was Chat Noir and he tried to cataclysm himself (which by the way is basically insinuating that Adrien has already been feeling suicidal as the akuma's power was just to multiply and make dark thoughts stronger), but then like it was never discussed again???
Thirdly, there were so many character arcs and plot lines that were just thrown off to the side and abandoned, I could probably forge a shovel to dig Astruc's grave with all the left over material. The whole suicidal thing is one thing, but like also going as far back as Chloe's scrapped redemption arc, and the fact Gabriel has threatened and attempted to murder his nephew (because if Felix was akuamatized and then deakuamatized Ladybug most certainly would have purified his feather). Adrien and Marinette just also never looked into the fact Gabriel had the book on the miraculous? And there's a whole other collection of potential things like PTSD for both Marinette and Adrien regarding multiple things, but those things in and of themselves would take ages to get through.
All together, my passion and anger regarding Miraculous Ladybug has been rekindled in the past couple months, and I'm more than certain that it will continue this way as the new season draws closer.
Gunzō had agreed to Akuma's request, even if the surrounding Fog ships hadn’t been too happy about it.
„I hope you know what you’re doing“, muttered Kirishima under her breath, „they are dangerous.“
„Why exactly are they that dangerous?“, Kyōhei, who was standing close enough to overhear the comment, asked.
„They’re experimental warships who are loosely based on pre-existing ships“, Hyūga said, lips twitching at the „loosely“ because, well, it was very loosely, „they aren’t well constructed and their Union Cores are not capable of fully supporting them, which is why they experience physical errors.“
"Actual errors or…?", he tried to secretly point at Kongō (she merely raised a brow).
Hyūga lost the fight against her twitching lips with that exchange: "Actual errors. They deserted because of other reasons."
They had been among the first ships to be granted Mental Models, soon after Yamato and Musashi, and deserted for reasons born of their own free will.
However, upon those faithful events, there had been no Akuma, so where did she come from?
Akuma knew nothing of those musings, nor would she have cared if she did.
Instead, she busied herself with walking over red Klein Field platforms towards the beach, the dog, her second Mental Model, following on her heels.
It gave the people on the beach a certain amount of déjà-vu.
When the battleship stepped on the beach, Iona almost awaited an attack, but none came; Akuma merely walked up to them and then crossed her arms, cocking her head as if waiting for something.
Her eyes ever so often strayed to Kongō.
„Battleship Akuma, we welcome you to Hawaii“, Gunzō saluted her stiffly, his eyes slightly widened.
There had been someone, once, when his mother had attempted suicide, someone he had never forgotten, at least not fully.
It had been a girl, with skin so fair he thought she had been a corpse and clad in a grievingly black dress.
„I‘m merely chasing echoes. After all, even if they reflect off mountains various times, one day they too vanish without a trace“, she had said, gazing at the sky overhead.
His mom had died soon afterwards and now he was here, chasing the echo of his father and someone with the face of that girl standing in front of him.
„…Thank you. It’s nice to be here.“
Gunzō could feel the eyes of his companions on his back, but shook it off.
Akuma didn‘t share anything else with the girl from back then; she was taller, her skin dark, dress white and shorter in the front than the back.
If anything, she somehow managed to remind him more of Kongō than anyone else.
So, he smiled at her: „How can we help you?“
She smiled cutely, closed eyes and all, and then bowed towards Kongō, lifting the corners of her dress as if curtseying and surprising everyone: „Kon-chama, it’s been a long time.“
Kongō's eyes seemed to widen as well and Kirishima blurted out: "Fatum!?"
"Hehe", she looked up at the blonde as if it was her who had said that instead of her sister.
"Why do you look like that!?", Kirishima continued, stunned.
There had only ever been one ship insane enough to call Kongō "Kon-chama" and that had been the battleship Fatum!
Fatum didn't look anything like that though!
Fatum (?) straightened up again and looked down at the pink teddy bear: "Why do you look like that??"
Which… admittedly was a fair point.
"T-that's a long story."
"I feel like much of this is a long story", she moved her finger in a circle encompassing pretty much all of them, "other than the obvious events, at least."
"Obvious events" most likely being things like Kongō's fucking suicide run.
"I lost my name with my retrofit, though", that was a nice way of saying it, "so there really is no Fatum anymore, only Zeitwächter and her operational code of Akuma."
Zeitwächter beamed, a hand on her hip, looking towards Kongō as if awaiting approval. She wouldn't be getting it, though, Kongō was too tired and hurt to deal with this shit now.
The big black dog, easily reaching her hip, pushed against her legs, whining.
"Oh right! Sorry!", Zeitwächter was a bit nervous, so it wasn't a surprise that she had forgotten, "this here is Churchgrim, he's a real softy!"
That made various people share awkward glances.
There was definitely something wrong with that battleship.
Both were definitely her Mental Models, both were "Zeitwächter", no need to introduce them separately, no need to give one a different name and even less for number two to be referred to as a male.
Hyūga's report from before suddenly made a lot more sense.
"Well, anyway", Kirishima cleared her throat, "your flagship wanted you to check on us?"
"..."
"She did, right?"
"She lied", Hyūga said, "Fatum always lied."
"Fatum lied often, and often needlessly, not always", Zeitwächter corrected.
"Why don't you continue lying then?", Hyūga didn't mean it in any evil way, she was honestly curious and just tended to talk in a provoking way (but she also liked to provoke people like Takao and Kongō to have a laugh at their reactions, so…).
Luckily for her, Zeitwächter got irritated by people like the Ise class very easily: "Because I honestly don't like you and am too lazy to put work in for people I don't like."
Someone in the background made an "oooh" sound, even though it really hadn't been such a hard roast.
Zeitwächter addressed Gunzō again: "Vanisher didn't order me to come to you guys, but she did allow me to and she does want to be friends."
Gunzō nodded his understanding: "Can we meet with Vanisher?"
She would be a very valuable asset, especially if she brought an entire fleet with her.
The battleship nodded, patting her dog's head: "You have to go to Germany though if you want to talk to her face-to-face. The fleet is a bit too paranoid to let her go beyond German sea territory."
"I see", Gunzō said, "we'll see what can be arranged. Can you please tell Vanisher that we accept her friendship?"
"Sure!"
"You don't sound like you're going to Germany either", Kongō finally broke her silence.
She had been Zeitwächter’s flagship once, until she deserted, and that had been for a few years. Looking back on that, their relationship was quite one-sided, as Kongō didn’t have a Mental Model at that time, but it didn’t change the fact that Kongō most likely knew more about Zeitwächter than anyone else in both fleets, simply because Zeitwächter had always talked to her like an absolute madman.
Well, she probably was mad.
The point was, Kongō knew more about Zeitwächter’s thought processes and speaking patterns than she wanted, so she could easily deduce the more or less hidden meaning in her words.
“That’s true. I’m wandering around a bit, haven’t been home in a while.”
“Why?”, Kongō asked.
The Fleet of Masks, for whatever reason, loved to keep everyone together, like a sheepdog his herd, often collecting Nagaras that had experienced some kind of damage or error and would’ve otherwise been left behind and bringing them back to the fleet.
That knack had of course translated to their own as well, so it was more than unusual for a lone vessel to “wander around”.
Zeitwächter shrugged, leaning on Churchgrim: “There are some people there who don’t like me and who are a pain to deal with”, she gave a very cheeky grin, eyes gleaming, “I’m that fleets personal random factor!"
She shouldn't be so happy about that!, pretty much everyone thought.
"...What are you going to do now?"
"I don't… really know that yet, to be honest", with her sinking nervousness, Zeitwächter’s attitude was calming as well, "Kon-chama, what are you going to do now?"
Kongō had her arms crossed in front of her chest: "I have yet to decide."
"Then I have yet to decide as well."
The fast battleship cocked an eyebrow even as she felt her lips trying to twitch.
Annoying.
But also kind of cute.

And as a bonus, these aren’t at all “official” yet but the more I read for some manhua the more I’m tempted to write fics for them… For example, a fic for Blemishing the Contaminated or My Lovely Troublemaker season 2 would be so cute, even if I don’t exactly have any clear or obvious ideas for them. 🥺
Phew, wow. I had way more wips than I expected AKFJSKFHSJS. Some are honestly just super half-baked documents tucked away in a folder with only a title and outline, but I hope something here was of interest to you guys. 😆💖
As for tagging…
I also don’t think I’m capable of tagging as many people as I have wips otl. So I hope you guys don’t mind if I tag just a few of you!

(Of course, if you would rather not, feel free not to do this!)
Random Concepts I found interesting
When a Quincy kills you, your soul is destroyed
A incantation curse is broken when the person who did it has their tongue cut off in Truth or Dare
Pokemon faint when defeated
Phoenyx lose immortality when they take a soul
The Wheel creating the Dragon in WOT
A creature begin killed and the place their fallen never grow life again
Not sure from where, but I remember something Fate/Stay-Like classes, where the characters could only use certain weapons each one
The monster made of ashes of the people Capricorn killed in Inkheart
Enkidu turning back into Clay after Gilgamesh refused Ishtar
Instead of fighting the monster, you have to make it cry
The guy that literally grew roots in Saramandaia
Not begin able to fight in a sacred place in Highlander, low-key similar the Dothhaki not drawing blood in their sacred city
The language of flowers in general
I like 'weird thefts' like heart, voice or eye (but more in a magical way?)
Not sure if its canon, but in SP, there was a creture that 'bad things' happened when you injured them?
The whole 'turning into something' can be both weird and neat
A place only certain people can enter or can't leave
The Helcaraxe's betrayal, just the ships burning and the rest of the Noldor begin forced to walk through a frozen land.
Kirin in Twelve Kingdoms, all of it: the fact they were born from tree, have their lives connected with the rulers they choose, the whole 'they will eat my corpse when I die' deals they have with Youma, the fantasy horse stuff.
Akuma no Mi's eaters can't swim, its so random, I loved it
A river made of tears, it run through all the worlds
The 'Cannot Tell a Lie' magical rule, the whole 'Time Works Different in this Place' fairy rings stuff too
Zodiac Signs, while I don't believe, they are interesting and pretty aesthetic
Once read (not sure where) about three Hounds begin named 'Beside, Behind and Before' because 'look beside, look behind you, look before you. You can't escape them'
Reapers begin people that committed suicide in Kuroshitsuji
Mirror Reflexes talking to you or begin some kind of supernatural begins
Children of Ill Omen from Pandora Hearts
Was randomly thinking of all those Danny Phantom X DC Comics prompts today, and realized that I have never seen one where Amanda Waller "recruits" some of Danny's rogues gallery to be part of Task Force X a.k.a. The Suicide Squad.
See now I'm just thinking of the ML/DC crossovers and how she'd try to handle the whole Akuma thing.

Current In-Progress Works (Updated 2/28/2024):
✍️ Physical Education AO3
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: Explicit Summary: The akuma class came to school expecting a normal lesson. They did not expect to be frisked and told they won’t be going home for the rest of the sexual education unit. Marinette and Adrien especially didn’t expect to be to be demonstrating as live models.
✍️ A Pretty Good Bad Idea AO3
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug, Batman - All Media Types, Maribat - Fandom Rating: Explicit Summary: For The More The Merrier Poly Ship Event 2024, hosted by the Miraculous Writers' Circle. ~ “We’ve been, uh… discussing the possibility of having a threesome,” he admits, quiet enough that only she hears. “With a woman,” he tacks on. Marinette takes a moment to appreciate her former partner and his husband. She traced the lines of their figures, eyes dancing across their muscular forms. Downing a shot, she looks at the two men before her. “I’ll do it, if you want.”
On-Hiatus Works (Updated 9/10/2023):
✍️ The Queen of Mean AO3 FFN
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: Explicit Summary: Inspired by "The Queen of Mean" from Descendants 3 and a deleted fanfic. When Lila pushes Marinette too far, she finally snaps. It's up to Adrien to figure out if he can bring her back. Love square-centric. ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. READ THE TAGS (Author Profile on FFN!!!).

Until one day, a man calling himself the Doctor decides to help her. If she can stop trying to kill him, that is. TW: Rape, Self-harm, Abuse, Mentions of Substance Abuse, Sexual Assault, Eating Disorder(s), Depression/Anxiety, Violence, Scars, light BDSM elements. SMUT. On-Hiatus. (9/1/2023) Current Status of Save Me: I'm probably going to put it on permanent hiatus/discontinued and post what I have left, but I need to sit down and actually get that uploaded, which I haven't had the time or concentration for.
Completed Works (Updated 3/5/2024):
✍️ Dead Girl Walking AO3 FFN
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: Explicit Summary: One-shot Songfic based on "Dead Girl Walking" from Heathers the Musical. Inspired by a line at the end of Chapter 14 in designnette's "Surfaced" on AO3, where Adrien asked if Ladybug broke his window, and that lead me to writing this fic. When Lila tells Marinette she has until 8am on Monday before her social life dies, Marinette can think of only one thing she wants to do. Or rather, one person. Smut. Oneshot. TW: Drinking, Dub-Con (if you squint), Panic Attack, light BDSM
✍️ Our Hope AO3 FFN Tumblr
Fandom: The Thundermans Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Summary: Backstory for this: was in the mood for some good old-fashioned thundercest and came across @bbshipper21‘s fic “Brownies, kisses and confessions.” Then I was scrolling through to see if there were more pieces farther back in their blog and came across this prompt. I don’t know if the people they tagged ever wrote anything, but I really wanted to try. I’ve never written for this ship, and I normally write in the first person, not the third, so this is probably a little bit awkward, but I figured I would post it anyways. I don’t know if @bbshipper21 is still active, but if they see this, I hope I did it justice. TW: Incest (Max/Phoebe), Brief Suicidal Thoughts/Actions
✍️ I'm Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone AO3
Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010), Red Hood and the Outlaws (Comics) Rating: Not Rated Summary: He thought of Robin. Robin is magic, he once said.

✍️ Hard Earned Knowledge AO3 FFN
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Summary: Requested by Raxius on Fanfiction.net. After Shanghai, Adrien begins to tutor Marinette while Mei Shi begins to tutor Fei, and Gabriel…well, he’s coping with the things *he* learned. Oneshot. TW: mentions of death, grief, unhealthy coping, therapist making light of the situation. If the Mandarin is wrong, blame Google Translate XD
✍️ Pink AO3 FFN
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug Rating: Explicit Summary: Requested by Raxius on Fanfiction.net. Set during Mr. Pigeon 72, Adrien can’t help but turning a little bit pink when he notices someone’s pink swimsuit. Or: Adrien, unfortunately, is a teenage guy. Oneshot. I did my best to make the story realistic to canon age-wise, but closer to reality in content. Puberty is rough, man. I am not a male, so I apologize if his actions are not 100% accurate in the eyes of someone who has a male appendage. I hope I did it justice though, as it was a big part of the plot. TW: Sexual situations/thoughts of minors, puberty
