i never thought i’d be the one to say this but ladybug needs to stop hero-ing

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

okay so everybody has been asking about it, so i’m just gonna address the issue, okay?

 

|

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

yes, LB is having a hard time adjusting after TBOTM (the battle of the miraculous), and no, it won’t affect paris’ safety. i’m sure all of you saw the news clip that @lbandcntheories posted last week, so i probably don’t need to say this, but (1/?)

 

|

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

ladybug is trying to get over the loss of a close friend. please do not intrude on the lives of anybody involved as it’s a super private matter!! i understand that’s a lot to ask as it is, but at the very least don’t ask LB about it or try to (2/3)

 

|

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

track down the people affected by the incident. anyway, there will probably be a bit of an adjustment period on both our parts, but don’t worry! paris is as safe as it can be <3

chat noir is best @highonhelium

direct messages: camembert & madly clumsy

 

camembert: milady not to question your authority

camembert: but i was under the impression twitter was kind of a no no for the alternates?

 

madly clumsy: look chat it’s

madly clumsy: it’s kind of complicated?

madly clumsy: i just need a little bit of help, i guess

 

camembert: am i not helping?

 

madly clumsy: oh god no, chat, that’s not

madly clumsy: listen

 

camembert: no no i got it LB

 

madly clumsy: chat

madly clumsy: chat noir please






singing in the rain-a @majestic_mirage

a bunch of people suggested a Q&A session! so go ahead and AMA :)

nerf or nothing @forgottoreload

|

singing in the rain-a @majestic_mirage

ladybug hadn’t given us alternate heroes the greenlight yet!

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

how close are you with ladybug?

 

|

singing in the rain-a @majestic_mirage

we get along, but we’re probably not as close-knit as you two lovebirds >:/

 

|

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

haha, yeah.

rue to the dolf and @heretothegolf

,,,we’re all sensing the jealousy here right?



direct messages: madly clumsy & singing in the rain-a

 

singing in the rain-a: okay girl what happened with chat noir

singing in the rain-a: he’s acting weird

 

madly clumsy: it’s nothing

 

singing in the rain-a: no that’s not nothing honey

 

madly clumsy: he just had a bad reaction to me letting you get a twitter

madly clumsy: i think

madly clumsy: probably

 

singing in the rain-a: well he kinda seems insecure about us alternates in general

singing in the rain-a: don’t tell me you haven’t seen it

 

madly clumsy: well, yeah, but what am i meant to do?

madly clumsy: you know i need the help

 

singing in the rain-a: you could always ask chat for the help sweetheart

 

madly clumsy: he’s got enough on his plate already

madly clumsy: i don’t want to overwhelm him just because i’m having trouble adjusting

 

singing in the rain-a: you didn’t even know what time it was yesterday when you called me

singing in the rain-a: it was four in the morning and you hadn’t slept in two days

 

madly clumsy: i need to get the potion right

madly clumsy: i just, please

 

singing in the rain-a: it’s okay, i get it: i take care of the media, you focus on being a martyr

 

madly clumsy: i’m not a martyr, you’re a martyr

 

singing in the rain-a: take a nap please

The line containing a mention of a potion has been scribbled out with rushed strokes. The text that is left visible leaves one to assume that Ladybug was only doing what she thought was best despite herself.]

singing in the rain-a: she’s not trying to upset you, chat

 

camembert: 

 

singing in the rain-a: she just doesn’t have her head on straight right now

singing in the rain-a: and she needs someone to keep it on her shoulders

 

camembert: you’re doing well enough

 

singing in the rain-a: that doesn’t make me you, chat

singing in the rain-a: that doesn’t make me the support she wants.




 

 

akuma alerts 24/7 ✓ @AKUMAWATCH

Mr. Pigeon (72) spotted and resolved earlier in the hour. Sorry for the lack of alert, our team was caught in the cross-feathers.

6:37 PM

camembert @litter_allychatnoir

that was amazing i am so proud right now



papillon is a butterfly terrorist @lbandcntheories

so, we caught a glimpse of Mr. Ramier after the 72nd Mr. Pigeon incident, and we saw something strange! he had this little round charm, had the strangest color scheme and these dots on them that looked like ladybug spots.

 

|

papillon is a butterfly terrorist @lbandcntheories

we asked him about it, since it was something even he was looking at like it was brand new, despite just having been akumatized moments prior, and he said this:

 

|

papillon is a butterfly terrorist @lbandcntheories

“It’s just a little charm Ladybug gave me. She says it can protect me and my pigeons from negative emotions! No more akumatizations for me and my feathered friends, no, sir.”

 

|

papillon is a butterfly terrorist @lbandcntheories

not only that, but Rena Rouge was spotted leaving the scene with Ladybug!! so much to investigate, we might just have to ask @ladyblog for help >:)

 

|

practically a ladybug compass ✓ @ladyblog

yeah,,, i’ll actually have to pass on that, sorry! D:

great danes are so cute @bibbibgibgib

woah, that’s new??



direct messages: camembert & madly clumsy

 

camembert: i’m sorry.

camembert: i was being inconsiderate, of course you need help

camembert: i wasn’t as close with master fu like you were, and i didn’t have to take up his mantle after he forgot all about me

camembert: you’re still getting used to everything that got pushed on you and i made it worse

camembert: i’m sorry

 

madly clumsy: you don’t need to apologize chat

madly clumsy: i should be the one saying sorry

madly clumsy: i’ve been ignoring you a lot lately because of all this stuff

 

camembert: that’s okay

 

madly clumsy: no, not really chat

madly clumsy: i’m sorry i haven’t been giving you the attention you deserve

 

camembert: and i’m sorry i haven’t been there like you deserved

camembert: …wanna go see a movie?

 

madly clumsy: no cheesy rom coms

 

camembert: of course, meow-lady

She’s eating popcorn with one hand out of a large red-and-white striped paper bag, and her other hand is occupied by Cat Noir’s. Their fingers are intertwined with hands resting on the armrest between them.]

Obligatory sad-ish chapter. (I mean, have you seen season 4?? It's basically a box of Cap'n Crunch: Oops, All Angst)
