im very glad i made this blog (main @poidkea!)

I just saw the ask about following you from the start and wow. It’s really hitting me now that I was in middle school when miraculous first aired… how is this allowed. I don’t watch the show now, but your blog is always so lovely to see from and I love seeing the sillies on my dashboard. Plus, playing the “this can’t be real. can it??” game has been VERY interesting as of late. Keep doing you!!

YEAH man, I have lived so much life since miraculous started!! It sounds like you have too. Thanks for still thinking of me, it's so cool you still see my stuff!!!!

As for what's 'real', haha - I'd like to state here officially that I never draw things that aren't canon so you can just take my blog as updates for whats actually happening in the show :) youre welcome

I showed my BF a picture of Adrien and he pointed to Adrien's shirt and (jokingly) said what pride flag is that

Makes me think though

Adriens shirt is a pride flag but it is currently unidentified to match adriens un-identified sense of self. As I read that sentence it doesn't sound funny, but i meant it as a joke and I'm laughing about it so idk what that says about me

Pre-sentimonster reveal Marinette spends a lot of time around Adrien and Kagami and both of them are so unfazed about eating uranium that Marinette’s like, “Wait. Am *I* the weird one?”

alright i SWEAR there was a fan comic that encapsulated this joke but I cannot find it - the punchline was about how adrien and marinette both had weird habits stemming from their secret superhero lives, but were each affirmed that they were acting normally when they saw each other doing the weird habits.

I am dying to link it here because I remember it being fantastic, but I have no idea where it is -

this is a call for help, does this sound familiar to anyone? where is this comic!!

The amount of truama movie Marinette went through compared to show Marinette is hilarious, don’t you agree?

frankly the amount of trauma either of them went through is insane, miraculous ladybug is a brutal show and that's lowkey why I'm here I love that its a little messed up.

I wanted to second that person who said your blog was RAD. It's absolutely one of my favorites on the site. Even the Uranium stuff. Especially the uranium stuff.

Nothing in life is so good as creating something silly and having other people also enjoy the silly and I'll never get over it!!

the bigger the bell the more dumb messages ladybug can fit inside. that would have been embarrassing if monarch had pulled out one of those instead of what he did in Destruction. its just stuffed full to bursting with tiny messages :3

this is so funny

was scrolling thru your art tag enjoying your comics when i suddenly discovered you were the one that wrote strangers in the bright lights. having gotten into miraculous only very recently, was tickled to experience a very small identity shenanigan of my own

incredible fic btw; i love it soooooo much. brilliant, hilarious, sweet, poignant. out of curiosity have you read much postww1 modernist stuff? i adored the usage of free indirect discourse for the narration, drunken and in motion and alive, almost reminded me of virginia woolf in a weird way lol. sorry if this is weird

Hello!! I'm about to get long-winded and self indulgent in this reply, fair warning :)

here goes:

Wow!! I don’t know how you found strangers in the bright lights if you got into ladybug in any time frame that can be described as “very recently”, I wrote that in 2018 when I was digesting some personal stuff and in a fantastic ladybug renaissance (of which I have now had several, I think I’ll die in this fandom).

But I’m so glad you somehow did. I only write every couple of years when I get really specific ideas, and the time I spend on it turns into memories of who I was when I wrote it. I feel like that must happen to actual writers too, ones who write often, but I haven’t written “often” since like 2009 and have never asked, so there you go.

But I guess that’s all to say that I am very attached to that story and it’s also one of the only things I’ve written that still feels like it hit the chord I was aiming for. It is so cool that anyone still reads it!!

To actually answer your question: I have never read virginia woolf, and the only modernist stuff I've read was years ago for school classes. I have to admit none of the style was inspired by classics, but instead inspired by the weird disassociation of trying to be alone in a crowd.

I have a final self-indulgent thought, it is a fun fact I realized as I was going down memory lane about this:
