I Have Two Multi-chapter Stories Planned, But Until Then, Here's A Quick Fic To Water Your Plance:

Women in suits are the best thing

okay yeah yeah villain but the diagram is so cool you guys

Wall I made for this (featuring: Russian, Spanish, toki pona, DNA code, women's script, a few alphabets, some geometry and arithmetic, and a language that I invented, among other things. I had fun with this)

Honestly I have an incredible amount of respect for the ML writing team. It takes so much creativity to come up with all those ridiculous akuma ideas, not to mention the lucky charms (holy crap, speaking as an ML fanfic writer, lucky charms are SO hard to come up with, it's insane that they've invented nearly a hundred lucky charms)

"The fire in his veins cooled under her rain, and stillness settled over him. Something soft fell into his lap. He held it up and breathed in its scent, sweet and flowery. Marinette.

"He buried his face in the fabric and held it close, imagining he was holding her instead. It hurt to be together. It hurt to be apart. But the hurt felt like a promise, and when she was in his arms he always felt that he was exactly where he was meant to be (the cosmic phenomenon, the whole that made sense). He couldn’t touch her, but she touched everything around him.

"(She was the rain, and she was everywhere.)

"The last chord rang though the room and then faded into silence. There was a rustling sound on the recording, and then he heard his own voice whisper into the microphone: 'I love you, Marinette.'

"The recording stopped. Adrien sat motionless, still hugging her hoodie."

I don't know why this scene hit me so hard—the entire story is full of scenes that both make me want to sob and smile for the rest of my life, after all. But this one . . . I just had to draw it. It feels almost immoral to illustrate a scene from this story so imperfectly, but I can't do perfect art, so I tried to do emotional art instead. (No it's not raining in Adrien's room, I was just trying to illustrate the metaphor that Marinette is rain, I'm sorry this is so bad Mar, I love this story so much)

I drew some angsty Adrien Agreste and couldn't decide which version I prefered, so I'll just post both.

You can't call someone family until you go stargazing with them.

The consensus was pretty much “Both options are cute, but the second option is better”.

This. This is why I love Plance and the garden and gardeners and everything about this ship. Because how many ships can you think of where the fans would say, “Yeah, flirting is great, but I prefer it when the characters respect each other and their friendship”?

Alright, here's a survey question for my fellow Plance shippers. Which plot thread do you prefer:

Lance starts flirting with Pidge as he slowly realizes his feelings for her, and she finds it extraordinarily confusing

or

Lance never flirts with Pidge, because he sees her as a friend instead of just a girl, which highlights how unique their relationship is to him

Happy New Year everyone! 2020 is FINALLY over (at least for me)! Man, what an awful year. Listen, I'm not asking for 2021 to be perfect or anything, but could we please just have it be not quite as apocalyptic as 2020?
