Was talking with @gameguy20100 and sort of discussing the nature of Kagami's creation, and what the heck Tomoe was thinking, and came to the conclusion that what made Kagami was the idea of honesty, or the desire for it.
Neurotypical vs Neurodivergent
Small disclaimer: I would like to apologize to anyone this might hurt, feel free to correct me at any time.
It's been basically established throughout the fandom that Kagami is HEAVILY autism coded (eg making lists to explain friendship, misunderstanding social cues or not picking up on them at all, needing the truth and nothing but the truth, etc.). We talked about why Tomoe would want to intentionally make Kagami autistic in a world that (I assume) is generally hostile to neurodivergent people. After all, perfection is generally associated with a rise to the top, so wouldn't being neurotypical make that easier? And with someone who is obsessed with perfection and believes their word is law, you would think they would make their daughter more like them, right? There are three reasons that we came up with.
1. Control through other people
First off, it allows her a better grasp of control over Kagami's free will. Though iirc it's unknown why she ever gave Kagami free will (likely because she values honesty), Kagami being autistic allows her to have a better hold over her. It isolates her from quite a few of her peers, at least at first, and it encourages her to interact with people like her mother, who is blunt (making her easier to understand for Kagami) and aggressive (which normalizes this behavior to Kagami). Additionally, she seems to find her mother hard to understand, but other, less abusive people can also be hard to understand, so even when exposed to better people she still believes her mother is a good person.
2. Control through the system
Since misunderstanding social cues and her own traits being misunderstood can screw Kagami over, why make her autistic? By intentionally kicking her down, she prevents her from getting to the top, and by association, prevents her from realizing Tomoe will never be happy with her, and that striving for perfection is an impossible goal. Once again, it allows her to keep control over what Kagami expects from her mother, and what she expects from herself.
3. Honesty is the best policy
To someone obsessed with perfection, who considers herself above all and who clearly doesn't like beating around the bush, it's possible Tomoe thinks the exact opposite of ableist people and considers being neurotypical a flaw. To someone who values honesty, arbitrary social cues, arbitrary expectations, and an aversion to saying what you want or mean, might be read to someone like Tomoe as making up rules, making up expectations, and twisting words. In other words, she might consider being neurotypical as being dishonest. As someone who is disabled, she's likely had quite a few people try to take advantage of her, especially considering the community she interacts with, so she might have reservations of her child being the same as those around her. It could quite literally be an act of rebellion. And considering Kagami's theme within the show is heavily implied to be truth (possibly directly paralleling Luka), it's possible Tomoe made Kagami desiring honesty. Which makes a lot of sense considering her character.
What's ironic though, is that she's friends with a lot of people who are... less than honest. Marinette and Adrien, sure, but also Lila (who she knows is a liar) and Felix (who iirc she also knows is a liar). So she directly goes against her mother's wishes.
She's very interesting to me, Kagami is love, Kagami is life.

Trust is Lost (I Shouldn’t Have Given it Out)
Looking back at the series and taking multiple characters into consideration, I don’t think Marinette should have put so much trust into her classmates nor the adults around her. There’s a mountain of proof that the adults cannot be relied upon by anyone. I believe that realistically, she should have developed trust issues because none of the characters respect, trust, or know her as a person and her unwarranted expulsion should have been the last straw. Especially since they don’t take the feelings of others into consideration. And I won’t even get into the issue with how the narrative always blames her for things that aren’t even her fault. This is my take on male Marinette with trust issues and emotionally guarded with those around him. This is my first angst one shot. Enjoy!
Despite the glowing silhouette of the crimson butterfly out line on his face, Marion was still very much aware of what was going on around him.
The recollection of his mother in his father’s embrace, along with their looks of distress and disappointment when that damned fox pendant landed in slow motion onto the ground below.
He knew his classmates were akumatized; not because Lila dared to make these accusations without letting him have a word in to defend himself, but because of their belief that their ‘Everyday Red Beetle’ was capable of cheating, theft, and bullying.
It made his stomach roll in nauseating somersaults and left a bitter taste in his mouth. He deliberately choose to bury the hurt of their betrayal by focusing on the sliver of hope that burst into him when he registered that Alya was the only one of his friends(?) that hadn’t fallen prey to Scarletmoth’s mind control.
”King Justice, cast aside by the words of a liar. I give you the power to reveal the truth. In return, you’ll give me Red Beetle and Feline Noir’s miraculous,” the terrorist’s tempting voice purred in the dark recesses of his mind.
Marion’s hands flew to his earrings as he wanted nothing more than vengeance. And not just because of Lila.
Because of the stress, anxiety, and bitterness he had accumulated over time. The designer knew that he would snap eventually, though he never perceived it would be so soon.
Before he could dwell on his negative emotions further, the magical line of Hawkmoth’s control suddenly stuttered and was abruptly cancelled.
Marion actively ignored how dark his thoughts became on the way to the bakery with his parents. The ones that should’ve been there for him. Who should’ve at least heard him out.
But what really stung was that it didn’t seem that unbelievable to the bluenette. Anyone who met him would think he was an independent kid, but it wasn’t really his choice. Sure, Tom and Sabine did love him, but they mainly left him to his own devices, the work at the bakery consuming most of their focus and energy. Even though they were aware of Chloe’s bullying, they never really did anything about it.
It was a hard pill to swallow, but it became clear to Marion that his parents were unreliable at best and not worthy of his trust at worst. They weren’t the first and wouldn’t be the last.
He had a feeling.

Canon vs Creepster: Kagami
Canon!Kagami *Bowing gracefully* You have quite the extrodinary outfit. I have a love for western films, watched them all the time back in Japan.
*Kagami Herushingu smiles, surprised at how... calm this girl is to see another version of herself. She tips the hat in response*
Herushingu: Well, thank ya kindly, darlin’! Name’s Herushingu, pleasure to meet ya!
Canon!Kagami: Kagami Tsurugi. I must say, your accent is lovely, yet is quite different from your name. Are you by any chance American?
Herushingu: Yes’m, Born and raised in Texas!
Canon!Kagami: Hmm... how interesting. I don't sense any sort of falsehood about you. Clearly this is the result of some sort of accident. Are you by any chance from an alternate reality?
*Herushingu's eyes widen in surprise. She's right on the money!*
Herushingu: Just precisely, ma’am. Where I’m from, my kin are monster hunters, same as I am ma’self!
Canon!Kagami: Oh! And by monsters, you are referring to more supernatural species? In our world, the only sort of monsters are those who were changed by the villainous Hawk Moth.
*Thinking of the butterfly, Herushingu can't help but snigger a little*
Canon!Kagami: Yes, yes, he looks as stupid as his name.
*Herushingu sobers back up and tells her counterpart about her team and the type of monsters they face*
Herushingu: Exactly right on that front, darlin’! We’re talkin’ real monsters, vampires, phantoms, demons! The kind that live to terrorize the in’cent folk! Not to mention the most vile. Human killers!
Canon!Kagami: What gives one person the right to decide when another’s life should end. It’s just…dishonorable!
Herushingu: S'like my mama says. "Humans are the only 'monsters', because they have no reason to kill."
*Canon!Kagami looks a little jealous and sad that her mother isn't as close to her.*
Canon!Kagami: Does your mother treat you well?
*Herushingu frowns, looking concerned for her counterpart.*
Herushingu: Yeah, she can be a bit rough on the edges sometimes, but we get on just fine! I get the feelin’ ya need someone to talk to, hon.
Canon!Kagami: *Trying to stay strong* I... I try hard to stay strong, in order to make her proud. But sometimes... *voice quivering* I feel as though I am nothing but a disappointment.
*She desperately hold back a sniffle, as Herushingu embraces her, letting the girl sob into her shoulders. It pains her to think of a world where her mama would treat her with such cruelty.*
Herushingu: Here, now, that’s a load’a nonsense! I’ve only just met ya, but so can already tell ya got a fightin’ spirit! The only person who’s standards ya need to live up to are your own, and I’m sure you got plenty to be proud of!
Canon!Kagami: *Sniffing* I... I'm sorry for breaking down. That isn't like me. *Trying to regain composure* I... I suppose I like fencing. I mean... my mother made sure that happened. *Frowning once again* Do... do you like fencing?
Herushingu: (smiles) I do love a good sword-crossin’ every now and again! But if I’m bein’ honest, my trusty guns get me through the most battles!
Canon!Kagami: What is a... gun?
Herushingu: (Blinks a few times) Oh, boy…
Canon!Kagami: *A little bit later* So, do you have heroes you fight alongside? Some sort of team?
Herushingu: (Smiles) Yeah, I got ma partners, Marinette and Adrien.
Canon!Kagami: *Feels a quiver in her stomach once again.* Oh... what are they like?
*Herushingu tells her about their jobs and personalities, and notices Canon!Kagami looking sadder and sadder as she continues*
Herushingu: Well, Marinette’s real spunky, she’s somethin’ of a mad scientist! Sometimes I don’t know what she’s talkin’ about, but it’s cute how excited she gets! And Adrien…well, he’s one of a kind. So sweet, but so lively at the same time! Don’t know what I’d do without em to be honest!
*Canon!Kagami sobs once again. Memories of events from canon are flashing through her mind. Herushingu frowns. What on earth happened between her and her partners in this world?*
Herushingu: What... what's wrong?
Canon!Kagami: It's... it's complicated.
*Herushingu's eyes narrow. Something happened to this girl, and she wants to know what*
Herushingu: Please tell me... if ya want to.
*And she did. She told Herushingu everything that had gone down. All of the highs and lows.... and Herushingu was PISSED*
Herushingu: Darlin’…I don’t even know WHAT to say. They put you through hell emotionally and yet you still stand by em! If they don’t realize how lucky they are to have you in their lives, I may do something I’d regret later!
Canon!Kagami: No... please don't. They're perfect for each other, just not for anyone else. Focus on your own partners, keep taking good care of them.
Herushingu: (Sighs) If you say so, lil lady!
Canon!Kagami: ... Is there any way I can visit you?
Herushingu: Well, here lemme give you my number. I got a few friends who know some witchy stuff, so they should connect across dimensions. Call whenever ya want!
Canon!Kagami: I will, thanks!
And that’s the last of the trio meeting their canon self! I feel that Kagami was done dirty in the show. Not just by Marinette and Adrien, but also with how the writers decided her and FELIX would be a good idea. I may do the villains and classmates as well, but I don’t know yet. Once again thank you to Weeby for assisting with the writing, and make sure to check out the previous crossovers with Marinette and Adrien. Reblog, reply, post and ask to spread the love. @artzychic27 @msweebyness

I'll never understand why people who claim to love characters seem to want them to be so petty and cruel.
So many people have claimed Kagami still loving Adrien but putting her feelings to the side and trying to support Marinette and him being together is pathetic. Like, really?
Kagami isn't a petty, revenge obsessed maniac, she's just a girl who due to her mother's abuse and neglect has no idea how relationships work but she's learning and Marinette clearly means the world to her.
I mean @iwasbored777 admits she doesn't like Kagami that much, but she understands her character better than this!
What do you people want!? Kagami to hate Adrien and sabotage Adrienette because Adrien "let her down." Like you understand why that's bad right? Please tell me you do.

My faith and appreciation of Kagami was restaured
You probably know that for a time I was thinking season 5 was gonna waste Kagami's character and make her unlikable. But I can now without a doubt say that since then I have reversed my judgment.
SPOILER WARNING ABOUT PERFECTION, PROTECTION AND EMOTION
.
.
.
.
Although I'm still very annoyed and a little dissapointed that Kagami is gonna believe Lila's lies about Marinette during the episode Protection, I know thanks to the episode Emotion and leaks from Protection that despite this moment of weakness, Kagami's friendship with Marinette will remain strong at the end of Protection.
I first came to understand that Kagami kinda had extenuating circumstances :
Lila managed to get close to her during a moment when Kagami was insecure and doubting about her friendships, because that's something she's still struggling with after having been friendless for so long
And second, not only does Kagami's upbringing makes her struggle with social skills, but, having been friendless and lonely during most of her life makes her desperate for friends to understand and love her.
And finally, I found THE leak that made me reconsider my fear about Kagami's character development in season 5
Those are the words Kagami will apparenty tell Lila at the end of Protection : "I don't know why you think those horrible things about Marinette, but you're wrong about her, I love her, she's my best friend. I like you too but I will only continue to be your friend if you show that our friendship is genuine. But you won't use me against Marinette"
Basically, what Kagami is saying is : "Either you accept and respect my friendship with Marinette and we remain friends, or you can fuck off".
Because the most important thing when you hurt a friend by misjudging and mistrusting them, is admitting that you were wrong, apologize to them, and makes things right.
And it seems that at the end of Protection Kagami will manage to do that

First day of college is tomorrow so
Team Miraculous Headcanons!
(Note: I feel like the temp heros arent fleshed out as much so im only talking about their role on the team and the difference between their civilian and hero persona.)
Ladybug & Chat Noir: you already know.
Rena Rouge & Carapace: Just like the two lovebirds up there, I think there personalities swap in their hero personas. While Alya is the more rational one and Nino the coming up with crazy ideas, Rena is the crazy idea girl and Carapace is the one that wants everyone to think things through. In combat, Carapace is a frontliner like Chat Noir but with meatshield bent. Rena rarely sees combat because she's more of a mission control/guy in the chair/Navigator and yes I can randomly make persona references that supports the team from the shadows with illusions and spying on the villain.
Queen Bee: This might contradict canon but idc, Queen Bee is nice! Like yeah, she still insults her teammates, but not to their faces anymore! Chloe's making an effort to not be bad and she's failing, but it's the thought that counts right? In battle, Chloe is just doing her best Ladybug impression and it's not too bad.
Vesperia: If Queen Bee is Chloe trying to be nice, then Vesperia is Zoe being a savage! The girl has a lot of pent up anger from living with Audrey and Chloe at the same time, so she deserves to cut loose a bit. Vesperia is one of the heroes that uses the most taunts and insults against villains, sometimes to bait them but most of the time it's just her being a little bad. She's a frontliner but with an emphasis on dodging hits and grabbing attention.
Viperion: Luka is approachable, Viperion is not. He has creepy eyes and half of Paris is convinced he's psychic and can read minds (which isn't entirely wrong, he just reads emotions). The bad rep dosen't bother Luka too much, but it gets annoying when his teammates are scared of him.
Pegasus: Despite being a nerd, Max really isn't an uptight person. As long as something dosen't endanger himself, he's open to trying new things. Pegasus isn't. He lowkey believes he's surrounded by idiots including Ladybug (but he obeys her orders cause she hasn't really lost yet). Half of Paris is also terrified by him because he's able to pull off Batman levels of big brain during a fight.
King Monkey: Most of the temp's hero personas have different personalities but King monkey really is just Kim in monkey suit. Max has lowkey sussed out his identity, Kim suspects nothing.
Ryuko: Kagami is calm, which is why no one has figured out her identity because Ryuko is cRaZy. She's like one of those middle schoolers pretending to be their favorite anime character but WITH REAL POWERS! Villains are also scared of her because she has like 3 powers for some reason.
Purple Tigress: What more can I add? We all saw her: a raging cat lesbian. She's a berserker!
Pigella: She's like that one "threatening positivity" post: you will feel better, you have no choice >:)". the Love square between her and Tigress is real also. In fight she's like those really annoying spell casters that hypnotize your party members.
Miss Hound: When Sabrina transforms she just goes full Chloe! All the years of being mistreated come out as her being 10× meaner than any other hero! Miss Hound dodges a villains attack? "And thats why your useless, utterly useless!" She and Vesperia are besties!

Does anyone wanna take this prompt for Miraculous Ladybug? [If so please tag me or msg me if your going to take this.]
Ideas for Prompts:
Salt/Bashing: Lila Salt, Bustier Salt, Damocles Salt, Alya Bashing, Adrien Bashing Sugar/Redemption: Nino Sugar, Chloe Redemption, Akuma Class Redemption Pairings: Chloe/Nino, Lukagami, Felinette Others: Bad Teacher Caline Bustier, Lila Rossi Exposed, Jealous Adrien, Endgame Felinette
Let's say Lila got exposed by Marinette's Circle Squad (as in Nino, Chloe, Kagami, Alix, Sabrina, Max, Kim, Rose, Nora Cesaire, Juleka, Luka, Felix, and Aurore) while Marinette had stayed home cause her parents is not letting her go to school cause of victim blaming that they got angry on Bustier telling her about their daughter 'to be an example' which really pissed Sabine off.
Sabine is willing to do this to keep her daughter happy but also suing Bustier, Damocles, Lila, Alya, and lastly Adrien even though she didn't want to but she heard enough from her daughter that he is bystanding this whole situation and telling her little girl to 'take a high road' advice which is a horrible advice.
Instead of expelling Lila like she wanted to do she must remain in the school and learn to be an outcast after being outted last Friday when her mother found out about her crimes and trauncy from her classmates but also participating classes by doing her own homework and attend two months of detentions. The police and the School Board Member found something interesting on the school footage then show it to Mrs. Rossi that her daughter is willing to assist terrorist.
As Lila is remain house arrest along with the restraining order from The Dupain-Chengs but also being banned from their bakery except her mother who is a regular customer that comes to the bakery once a while.
As for Bustier and Damocles both got sued by two parents from Marinette after all the stress they gave her she has to go theraphy. Chloe volunteered to be Temporary Ladybug as Dame Taches (Lady Spots) while Marinette goes to theraphy for a good reason for her health being Ladybug for too long was a bit stressful and need a break so she can be the Dragon Miraculous while Kagami became the Temporary Black Cat.
As for the Black Cat Miraculous it was taken away from Chat Noir/Adrien by Ladybug last Sunday about his incompetnent behavior it is now Kagami's job as a temporary Black Cat as Kuroneko. Now for the Bee Miraculous it was lent to Nora Cesaire since she was the only one that Marinette can think of doing instead of Alya since Nora knows the truth what her sister did to Marinette.
Chloe called Amelie Graham de Vanily and Felix to come over to Paris but stay in her hotel than in the Agreste Mansion but told them the whole fiasco with Adrien being passive and other stuff. Chloe also suggested to Marinette to give Felix the Fox Miraculous he will be the Temporary Fox Hero. Since Sabrina has the dog miraculous with her just in case.
Now for Adrien he finally found out thanks to Lila that Marinette likes him. But its far too late for him since Marinette is over with him and her parents doesn't want him near their little girl anymore.

Daminette December 2022: 30-Extra (free space)
Adrien and Kagami sat on the bench as their son got ready for the finale in the fencing championship. They were sure he was going to win two years in a row. His opponent was a fencer dressed in all black. It reminded Adrien of when Kagami dressed all in red. The black fencer seemed to breeze through the tournament. It made them wonder why they hadn't seen them the previous year.
Adrien looked over to the black fencer's side as Kagami reminded their son of his techniques. The fencer had left with a water bottle and a lady with short blue hair on the bench.
'Must be their mother.'
She dressed so differently from Kagami. Kagami had stuck to hakama, much like her mother did. Their mother was wearing a long dress with a sash in the middle. Many parts of it reminded him of China, but other parts he wasn't sure.
'I bet Father would know where it was from.'
His thoughts were broken when the fencer returned.
"Your father would be here if he could." the lady spoke, sadly.
The fencer in black nodded.
'I remember those moments. All I wanted was Father to come watch one match. For me to turn around and him to pat me on the back or tell me good job. I hope they show up for that kid.'
"Who says I'm not?" a man questioned.
Adrien watched as the fencer turned and hugged a man tight. They had olive skin and jet black hair.
"Damian, I thought you had a meeting!" the lady declared.
"I had them push a couple meetings back and got the others to fill in for me; today is important." he answered, "Father says we will go out for dinner, no matter the outcome."
The fencer nodded, eagerly.
"Remember, you are restricted; feet to the floor, at all times." the man spoke.
Adrien turned to his wife when he felt his hand getting crushed.
'Oh, no. She heard them, too.'
Kagami turned to their son and sneered, "Go all out."
Kagami crossed her arms as the opposing fencer was declared the winner. They both knew they fought admirable, but the black fencer always had the upper hand. They were always just out of reach from their son, Hiro. Adrien sighed and saw Hiro had taken off his helmet. He had the same look on his face when Kagami got angry. Their son may have gotten some of his looks, but he definetly had his mother's fury.
'Oh no.'
Hiro threw his fencing mask on the ground and stomped over to the other side.
"I demand to know who I fought!" he declared, "I want a rematch!"
The fencer nodded and took off their mask. The Agrestes were shocked to see a girl with olive skin, her black hair pulled back into a braid and bright blue eyes. Hiro blushed red, as she smiled. Adrien gulped, recalling a girl he knew with the same exact bright smile.
"You won!" the girl's mother cried, hugging her.
"Amaya, you fought beautifully." her father declared.
Amaya smiled and bowed, "Father." turning away from the Agreste family.
She peeked up and saw her father with his arms open. She quickly hugged him.
Kagami pouted as her son seemed enthralled by the newest champion. She was sure he would be furious that he had lost and for a short period, he was. He walked up to the champion only to have her father glare at him. He flinched and took a step back as the man stepped in front of his daughter.
'His glare is worse than Mother and Grandfather's combined. It's like looking Death in the face.'
"Father." Amaya hissed.
Damian looked from his daughter to his wife, to find she was also glaring at him. He relented and backed up to let his daughter out from behind him.
"I had fun." Amaya declared, holding out her hand, "I wouldn't mind a rematch when we can meet up again."
The Agreste heir grabbed Amaya's hand and kissed it.
"My name is Hiro Agreste." he smiled
"Adrien?" the mother shouted.
Hiro looked from Amaya to her mother, back to his father. Amaya's mother smiled and his father's cheeks flushed.
"It's me!" she cried out, "Marinette! Marinette Dupain-Cheng; well, it's Marinette Wayne now."
"Mari?" his father shouted.
With a nod, Adrien quickly pushed his son out of the way and knocked him to the floor. Amaya quickly jumped back. Adrien was quick to bring Mairnette into his arms.
"I missed you!" Adrien cried out, "You never came back!"
Damian yanked Adrien off of his wife and tossed him next to his son. He pulled both of his girls close.
"Fuck off, Agreste." Damian growled, "You can't have my wife or my daughter!"
Both Adrien and his son paled. Marinette giggled and kissed her husband's cheek.
"Never in a million years, Habibi." Mari answered.
"You seriously think a smile is going to sway me, Father?" Amaya questioned, "You raised me to see through deception. The look of innocence is the most misleading."
Damian Wayne stood taller with their declarations.
"Was this Amaya's first tournament?" Kagami questioned, breaking the tension?
"No. I'm on the fencing team and gymnastics team at my school. I go to a lot of tournaments, but, um-" she answered, hesitantly.
"Amaya only turned fourteen this year and wasn't able to participate, last year." Marinette explained.
"She also landed herself in the hospital the day of our flight." Damian declared, "We had been prepared to scout out the competition for this year."
"Are you okay?" Hiro asked.
Amaya smiled, "Oh yeah. It was nothing."
"Nothing?" Marinette hissed, "You had a broken leg and fractured your arm! Tell me I'm over reacting."
"You're over reacting." Damian and Amaya responded.
"I don't want to hear it from you." Mari glared at her husband.
Damian sighed and looked away. Adrien smiled at the way Marinette took charge.
'I knew she had it in her.'
"Oh!" Marinette cried, as her alarm went off.
Damian turned to his wife, "Is that for your appointment?"
"Yes." Marinette answered.
"I'll get my things." Amaya replied, "Father, take Mother to the car and I will meet you there."
"Appointment?" Adrien questioned.
Mari smiled and placed a hand on her stomach, "Amaya has a younger sibling on the way."
"Congradulations, Marinette." Kagami responded.
Marinette nodded and turned to leave.
"Bye, Hiro." Amaya smiled and waved, as she chased after her parents.
Hiro sighed with a smile. Kagami facepalmed at her son's obvious crush.
'Just like his Father. Better get this over with now.'
"You like her." Kagami stated.
Hiro tensed under his mother's stare.
"N-No." he murmured.
'Oh god, he gained Adrien's idiocy for feelings.'
"Son, never hesitate when it comes to your heart." she declared.
"Did you see him?" Hiro shouted, "He's scarier then Grandpa and Grandma combined; I can't win there!"
Kagami sighed, "At least you are not calling her a friend, yet. She could have been your sister if your father wasn't oblivious."
"What do you mean?" Hiro questioned.
"Marinette is just a friend." Mrs. Agreste smirked, looking at her husband.
"She is!" Adrien exclaimed.
"Your face still lights up the same way, since we were fourteen, when you see her." Kagami declared.
"I haven't seen her since she was sixteen!" Adrien declared.
Kagami rolled her eyes, as her husband brushed off her statement.
"Wait!" Hiro shouted, "What do you mean my sister?"
"If your father wasn't so blind, he would have noticed Marinette Wayne crushing extremely hard on him when we were teenagers. She had dates and a wedding dress in mind, but your father asked her for help on dating me. We became friends and she backed off." Kagami announced.
Hiro turned to look at his father. He saw his dad had gone ghost white.
"You're lying." Adrien spoke.
Kagami shrugged, "Call anyone from your old class and they will tell you otherwise. Alya told me she wanted three children with you, named Emma, Hugo, and Louis. You were a blind teen. It appears she found someone who saw her not just as a friend. Good for her."
Kagami began to walk away with her husband and son at her heels questioning her about the past.

The Perfect Day
Hello!!! I wrote this prompt post-(ish)-s3 pre-s4 era where there was a lot of salt so this is about 3 years old I wanna say? So that’s why it’s so outdated so HEAVY Alya/Lila/Adrien/Tom and Sabine salt with a lot of Chloe sugar and slight Marigami (best ship) because *this was the vibe at the time* (ayyyy Kendall Jenner) on this page SO if that is not for you fair enough love that for you now SCROLL ON you have had many warnings about how old this is.
Also because this was written before all of s4/a few s3 episodes the lore is very much not present here and outdated so tough luck!
⚠️trigger warning!⚠️
Talking about s*icide here. Please stay safe and do not read this if you think it may trigger you even the slightest bit. Look after yourself! (Also I’m not trying to romanticise sewerslide in any way here (if you want the trauma dump version of how we came up with this you’re welcome to it) but if there is something that shouldn’t be in a post please do let me know and I will remove it but HEAVY TRIGGER WARNING).
SALT FOR (almost) EVERYONE
The Perfect day:
Marinette alarm startled her eyes open at exactly 4am. She scrunched her face up at the prospect of consciousness, but her expression softened slightly when she remembered: today was going to be the perfect day.
The perfect day, to die.
She clambered out of bed, and went downstairs to make her favourite breakfast, with a hot chocolate on the side and mountains of whipped cream, just how she liked it. She had spent the last week trying to convince herself out of this, but it was the only solution.
She was numb.
She was always going to be numb.
Nothing made her feel (that being a full sentence in itself) truly, wholly happy in her being anymore.
She went back upstairs to her balcony and ate her breakfast as the sun rose, squinting at her city. As she finished the last bite, she realised a good swing around Paris was just what she needed, so effortlessly transformed and pulled out her yo-yo, setting out for the Eiffel Tower, the source of so much inspiration for her designs.
Or rather, her *old* designs. She hadn’t the energy or mental strength to do anything she loved recently, nothing sparked much happiness or felt worth it. Her last design was about 2 months ago, but all it did was make her sob at the realisation that she was a failure and a fraud; nothing matched or was cohesive in any way. But in a way, realising her lack of talent when it came to her recent designs was sort of a net positive she concluded.
It meant it stung less when Lila spilled juice all over them, when Alya said they looked better smudged and ruined, or when Adrien delivered his father’s disapproval.
So instead she just watched the rest out the sunrise from her favourite spot, not picking out the different angles in the monument for a ridiculous geometric gown, or whatever her most recent fantasy was.
After another half hour, she sprung back home and got into her favourite Sunday dress, twirling her hair into her cutest hairstyle that the night before she had meticulously studied for hours on Pinterest, that she had always wanted to try. She packed her bag, three letters included, and ran out to catch up with her only real friend at a Francois DuPont.
Alya had left her a long time ago. After all, Lila had “no reason to lie”. She was “perfect”. Marinette was “just jealous” and “refused to cooperate”.
Because after all, it was always Marinette’s fault.
Marinette wished Alya the best in life, but she wasn’t going to waste much more energy on her. She was drained enough as it was.
Chloé was waiting for her, grinning ear-to-ear as she held up her first try at macarons for Marinette to critique. Marinette bit into the surprisingly good attempt at the cookie as they walked up to school together, laughing at Chloe’s sudden inability to swallow a cookie without choking. They walked to the back of the class and sat in their seats, ignoring their classmates.
It’ll all be over tonight anyways.
She spent the lessons talking with Chloé, as it wasn’t like she’d ever need the information after tonight. She encouraged Chloé to reminisce on their favourite times together, such as the day they realised they were different enough to be the same, or the day they realised that they (platonically) loved one another, and were the closest thing each other had to a soulmate.
That was also what Marinette considered a “perfect day”…
…Was Chloé going to be alright tomorrow?
At lunch, the pair met up with Luka and Kagami and went out to a cafe for food and orange juice, before sprinting after André the ice cream man and getting sweetheart ice cream together, Chloé paired with Luka, and Kagami with Marinette (“platonically” of course!). They parted ways once the hour was over, as they had to return to school, where Marinette spent the time daydreaming, recalling childhood memories from before Francois DuPont. This was going to be the last time she would ever remember them, after all.
They were let out of school at their usual time, thankfully no akuma that day, and Marinette, Chloé, Luka, and Kagami briefly chatted outside the gates, before parting ways. Marinette hugged them all tight as she left, handing them her letters and telling them not to open them until midnight AT LEAST.
She returned home, and watched her favourite films, favourite shows, and had her favourite meal for the very last time.
She kissed her parents on the cheeks, which was the most contact she’d had with them in a while, after Lila decided the bakery was her favourite Boulangerie, and she went upstairs to peacefully watch the sunset.
She would never have to deal with Chat Noir again and his flirting sexual harassment, so she decided to enjoy being Ladybug one last time. She transformed and went her usual route, ending up at the Eiffel Tower to finish watching the sun go down, swinging back home whilst it was still just barely light, taking notice of the cool air stinging her cheeks; the first real feeling she’d had in months.
Tikki begged her not to go through with it, but Marinette had made her decision, and renounced Tikki, telling her to find a new Ladybug; her only real plea being to warn them about Chat Noir prior.
Tikki was distraught, but Marinette used her guardianship to send her off and push her away — she needed to be alone for this, she wouldn’t let Tikki under any circumstance.
But Marinette didn’t want everything to be over quite yet, the air was too still, so she turned to her dust covered mannequin, and slowly stitched the zipper onto her old project that she never had the creativity or energy to finish. She tied a figure of 8, and snapped off the thread, taking notice of how it frayed.
Looking at it finally finished, it wasn’t as horrific as she made it out to be in her head a couple months ago, but still, not good enough to convince herself she had any worth.
She looked over at her clock.
10:30
I guess it’s time…
Marinette climbed up to her balcony and stepped over the railing, peering down. She took a deep breath…
And jumped.
She lay in the air, feeling as if she was floating for a second, waiting to to hit the ground. She thought she heard her name, but knew no one was around…
“MARINETTE!”
She felt a clawed hand grab her waist, knocking the air out of her as the two beings shot into the sky, the black figure clutching her tight.
She opened her blue eyes, and stared into Chat Noir’s brown ones.
…Brown?
…This wasn’t Chat Noir?
The black cat landed on a roof, hurriedly demanding to know if she was okay, in a voice that Marinette recognised must be —
“Kagami?!”
The black cat set her down on her balcony and explained that when Tikki was renounced, she was so distraught and furious she renounced Chat Noir of Plagg, revealing Adrien Agreste. The two Kwamis sailed around trying to find someone when they came across Kagami coming back from late night fencing. They quickly told her to read her letter as they were near incomprehensible from stress. Kagami briefly skimmed the letter before immediately snatching the nearest miraculous - the ring - and transforming into the black cat before sprinting across the rooftops as fast as she could, rushing to Marinette’s aid still clutching her letter. She arrived just in time to see her topple over, and saved her just before she hit the ground.
Marinette started sobbing in Kagami’s arms. Kagami sobbed with her a few minutes, promising to never let her go. She eventually picked her up once again and carried her to Le Grand Paris, where she banged on Chloé’s window. Chloé opened it and let the two crying girls in, announcing Luka’s presence as he happened to be in the room teaching Chloé guitar. He rushed to the girls when he saw them collapsed in each other’s arms. Marinette was feeling the first emotions she had felt in months, refusing to leave her saviour’s side, clutching to Kagami. Luka and Chloé listened as Marinette vented how she had been feeling, or rather the fact that she hadn’t been feeling anything, whilst Kagami stroked her hair and wiped her face, kissing her forehead every so often to remind her she was safe.
Chloé had a room prepared and the four of them off school the next day, booking Marinette in for a highly rated therapy appointment. The four friends snuggled in each other’s arms, Marinette in the middle. They fell asleep immediately, crashing from the excitements of the past hour, except for Marinette, who lay awake just a few more moments to make a promise to herself.
Every day, from today, I will make into the *perfect* day.
—————————————————————————
Hello me again!!!! I had a few other endings in case we weren’t feeling this one so just quickly:
Alternate ending 1) She jumps. When midnight comes around her friends open her letters and rush to her place, only to find police and an ambulance declaring her dead, and if you want some more angst, Chloé and Kagami storm into the school the next day scream-crying at their classmates whilst Luka repeatedly whispers “I couldn’t save her” crying in his mum’s arms. (Very depressing)
Alternate ending 2) Marinette realises that she doesn’t want to die. Why should she? She’s just spent today just doing what makes her happy? She should live like this everyday! She has so much to live for! Sure therapy is needed and some communication too, but she can do it. (Yayyy happyyy)
This was for the most part written when I was around 14/15 so if the sentence structure is a bit shit I’m gonna blame it on that (and not my lack of progress in writing in the past 3 years!)

Watching the episodes for myself. (I’m up to emotion. I need them in English)
Kagami salters can lick my feet. 
Is it short-sighted and foolish to tell Felix Marinette is Ladybug? Yes. But she’s always been like that. And she needed Felix to trust Marinette. 
But she supports Felix because she buys what he’s selling.
A world without Gabriel? Where Adrien and Marinette can be happy? A world where the two people she loves more than anything can get what they want? She’d do anything for that. 
And as a bonus she get’s to be free of Tomoe’s abuse and captivity. She can be who she wants. She even gets her own version of Adrien to be with. Sure Felix messed up, but who hasn’t? Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty. 
What’s not to like? That sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
I can’t be the only one who see’s how much Felix has manipulated her into helping him. Using her greatest desire and guilt to support his view of the world.
My point is, stop hating on Kagami for being a scared, confused, emotional teenager who just wants to believe in something too hard. It’s not her fault Lila and Felix exploited her weakness.
