I agree with the other anonymous posts. You definitely would make a great trophy wife but also like the idea of you being a free use housewife hehe
but like ….
I wanna be BOTH !!!!!
like. I wanna be the hot little free use trophy housewife that all your friends WISH they had at home and are envious of you for having because, for one, I’m just that fucking hot and you get full free reign of using me whenever the urge strikes you, but also because I actually take care of you and cook for you and look after your mental health and well-being and take care of the pets and stuff every day and just make sure the house is taken care of and always well kept and clean and just … yeah lmao
BUT on the flip side, let’s look at the cons (to someone else, I don’t see them as cons bc I’m biased and think I’m pretty great but I’m usually too much for most people so clearly these are cons to some of y’all lmao)
I also take cat naps on and off ALL day to make up for never sleeping at night or I stay up for like 4 days straight and then crash for 18+ hours so I go silent during random periods of the day. and I game too, so I go into murderous rages while pvping or raiding in WoW so you’ll hear occasional incoherent frustrated shrieking/screaming or me talking a LOTTTTT of shit about both the opposing faction’s team AND my team and also go on random tangents to you about the game in general fairly often and not just while I’m playing (and I’ll try to get you to play with me so I can have someone to play with and not just mindlessly queue battlegrounds or pug raids the entire time I’m online and have more of a drive to do in game things aside from those lmao). and also other tangents about random things themselves since I do ramble a LOT bc I fall down so many ADHD rabbit holes and have so many fixations and learn about so much random fucking shit just because and love to share that odd knowledge with people and that’s like despite taking 60mg of adderall every day lmao. and I also like to hoard an overwhelming amount of house plants so our house will look like a jungle (and collect expensive and rare plants especially) and will cover the house in gothy decor and gothy kitchenware and gothy cat towers and gothy cat toys and dark elegant gothy curtains with nice drapey kinda valances and sheers and multiple layers to them and we have to have a pretty canopy around our bed so we can pull the curtains around the bed closed and like retreat from the rest of the world and just have our time together at night. and I like to raise moths and butterflies and I want to pin and preserve the next set of specimens I raise so I can display them but like as something that I made and raised and brought to life and shit so it has more meaning to me bc I was the one who did everything to raise and then preserve them rather than having them just be pretty bugs encased in resin that I bought online and shit. and I collect big stompy platform goth boots from Demonia and thigh high stiletto heeled boots from Pleaser and a lot of goth clothing and expensive lingerie and sex toys. and I also need the AC on like constantly bc I like being cold and I prefer bundling up to try and stay cozy in cold rooms (unless I’m actually too cold and really need a heat source, then I’ll cave and turn the AC off lol). and I need a game room with a nice desk for my laptop and my two monitors and a new pink and white gaming chair to match my pink gaming set up (and the white mouse I want to replace the pink one I have rn bc I feel like a pink keyboard, pink kitty ear headset, and pink mouse is too much pink in one concentrated area so I wanna break it up w a white mouse and white on my chair instead, maybe???) and lots of nice RGB lighting in the room and make it a cozy lil space that you can share with me bc I want it to be OUR game room. and you have to randomly duet songs with me like anything from fucking Frank Sinatra to Megan Thee Stallion to Motionless in White to fucking Irish drinking songs and bands like The Clancy Brothers or The Dropkick Murphy’s to assorted musicals to Lights to the Pop Goes Punk albums to Disney songs like you gotta vibe to the whole fuckin spectrum of music with me always lmao. and I also need a nice vanity with a beautiful and BIG lighted mirror for when I do all my makeup and when I remove the old color/bleach/dye my hair and you’d have to help me install my new extensions every like 2-3 months bc I refuse to go to a salon to get them installed so I’d have to teach you to do it and you’d have to pay attention to me very closely so you don’t fuck them up bc then it’ll be a pain in the ass to fix and I’ll be frustrated and upset and then you’ll be frustrated too and all that. oh and I’m also gonna con you into doing my regular daily skincare routine w me even if I have to buy you different products bc we have different skin types and also drag you into the shower/bath with me whenever I wanna shower or relax in the tub, and yeah so like …..
ya gotta REALLY be down w ALL that, and then some, for me to actually be a trophy wife to any of y’all bc I’m a bit eccentric and high maintenance lmao … 😅

ok I wanna externalize but my bf is already asleep so y’all are getting details abt my coworker team bonding day
most of my coworkers are taller than I expected? idk if it’s bc I’m just used to my short bf but I was like kinda taken aback lol
my supervisor (who is in a band) found out I can sing and spent a solid 20min trying to get me to (I did not)
(I specifically did not recommend karaoke for this event bc I didn’t want people to know that lmao)
throwing axes is hard and so is driving those little RC cars
not a single person mentioned my septum ring (not even my straight-laced middle aged big boss!) despite no one knowing I had one lol
MY SUPERVISOR IS A CAPRICORN which means I was RIGHT!!
one of my teammates did ballet for years! and his wife did too & now she teaches ballet and I love that for them
I got the free corporate swag I ordered AND a free quarter zip that I did not order! also lots of pens that no one ordered
I accidentally taught my supervisor “[spill the] tea,” “goss,” “slept on,” & who Grimes is
another teammate lets his young daughter tattoo him every year on her bday (one letter of her name per year) which is probably WILDLY irresponsible but there’s alcohol in me rn so I think it’s sweet
my supervisor likes bugs??? like entomology. he had some pinned in a frame and I had to pretend like I’m not terrified of all insects except lightning bugs and moths/butterflies
we talked sooooo much shit abt Elon Musk
not a single conservative there<3 I have never had this experience<3
I have eaten almost nothing all day bc I was anxious and if I order food to my hotel it has to be picked up at the front desk (which is in a different building than my room and like a 10 min walk). not a fun fact about my day I just wanted to complain

Hello! Anon who’s comfort characters is Lurien here!
Would you be able to spare a Lurien headcanon you have perhaps?
Thank you for your time :D
Oh for sure anon! He's going to come up more frequently in the next chapters of Until Dawn Shall Break, so he's been on my mind recently. Have a few misc headcanons that I've been toying around with as of late
-Despite being a butterfly, Lurien does not know how to fly and has no real desire to learn. This isn't because he's afraid of heights or anything, but is because he's never seen the point of trying. He's lived in the City of Tears pretty much all his life, so the ease of transit and the frequent downpours meant that flying wasn't really a necessary skill to learn. As such, his wings are almost always in a limp, clothlike state, and are somewhat wrinkled because of it, usually only perking up when in states of extreme arousal like fear or anger- which embarrasses him greatly, because all those colours flaring out at once is somewhat of a gaudy, undignified show in his eyes (My headcanon for how moth/butterfly wings work is that hemolymph and other fluids can be consciously pumped into the wings or drawn out to keep them taught/flight-ready or limp and blanketlight to prevent damage; pair this with the fact that butterfly wings are usually folded together against the back, and you can see why they wouldn't really be seen much on him)
-Despite being rather prone to anxiety, bouts of melancholy, and states of disassociation, he generally appears very put-together and mysterious from the outside, which renders him a very imposing figure to those who don't know him. Pair that with his tendency to stand very still, stare, and say very little during conversations with people he's not comfortable with, and, well, you get someone who seems just as formidable as the King even if he's typically frozen in a state of panic during social gatherings
-The fluff that covers his whole body grows continuously and requires continuous trimming to keep him even somewhat butterfly-shaped, with his fur being the thickest around his shoulders/chest, along his upper back, neck, and head, and around his wrists and ankles. If you're not afraid of insects, I highly recommend looking up a picture of a jewelmark butterfly, because these mfers look like they're made out of pipe cleaners
-When comfortable around certain people, the mysterious, silent Lurien mask drops away to reveal someone who is dryly sarcastic, prone to bouts of exasperation, has an unfortunately soft, empathetic heart, and is deeply passionate about art and keeping the people of Hallownest safe. He's also a huge magic nerd and likes to doodle spell-glyphs in his free time to see if he can incorporate them into his art, which can sometimes backfire on him
-He's not really a stickler for rules, he just tends to act like he has a stick up his ass because he's terrified of the consequences of fucking up a social transaction.
-I personally headcanon him to be in the upper thirties and early forties age-wise. He is, however, several centuries old in actuality because those who are close to the Pale King receive the gift of conventional mortality simply bc PK is a 'bond to one person and never to others again' sorta guy. I can't give you an exact number, I just have him marked down as 'starting to have hit his physical and fertility decline marker beforehand' bc my brain works in stages vs numbers lol
-Unlike in the wild, the butterflies in the world of Hollow Knight tend to have very large families where young are raised communally by various aunts, uncles, and trusted family friends, so Lurien, as an introverted outcast, somewhat suffers from these tenancies. Half of his depression and disassociation comes from him not being able to identify when he needs to seek out socialization and then when to withdraw before being overwhelmed
-This social nature also means that he ended up quite fond of PK's kids despite his rampant fear of children/Hornet, because even if he shoved his crush to the side in favor of saving Hallownest, that doesn't stop his social butterfly brain from going 'children of my beloved are mine to watch over', even if he was shit at it. Where my Lurien and Hollow mentorship fics at

Hiyo! This is gonna be a bit specific so i hope you dont mind haha;;
Would it be alright to request for HC's for Mammon, Beel and Belphie(if you only take one char per request then Mammon's fine!) with a GN! reader, where in the reader is extremely obssessed with bug critters? Like tarantulas, moths, all that jazz and they often have a lotta them in their room
Im a big bug lover myself but it often freaks people out when i show them a beetle i caught but honestly its just pretty funny to me more than anything haha
Sorry for this long ask!! And take care~☆
Oh~ this is an interesting prompt :o
I myself am squeamish with bugs, but very much respect enthusiasts and entomologists!
Without further ado, here’s your request!!
-- -- --
😈💛 Mammon 💰💸
“Yo... think we can sell these to witches for some cash? Y’kow, for their rituals and generally to keep as pets? Think ’bout- OW, HEY!!”
This one I see recoiling back once you show him a bug. Doesn’t matter if it’s trapped in a jar, or held by your hands, he will get surprised if the critter is shoved in his face
Back in the Devildom, if you ever wandered out and somehow caught one of the unique dangerous bugs within, he would freak out and worry about your safety
“WTF [Name], put that down!! Its bite/sting is dangerous and hurts a lot! PUT IT DOWN!” “Relax, Mammon, your panic will distress it and provoke it to attack! I’ve got this.”
However, in the first weeks of your stay with them, he won’t care at all. Remember how he acted all irritated and mad when you were lumped onto him, right? Yeah, that’s it
Things change when Lucifer gave a stern warning, in his own Lucifer way, to keep you safe at all times
“Drop that, you don’t want to anger it”  “How many times do I need to tell you to stop with that?! Pesky human..”  “Oi, ya dumb mortal! Hands off, no pets allowed!”
Little “I’m not interested” warning will be given, which then morph to “Not worried about you but in reality I very much am” as time goes on and he warms up to you (damn tsundere, this one)
Once he grows fond of you and a friendship is established (and maybe other feelings surface), he will issue the more panic filled warnings
But otherwise, he will admire the little things. The ones with shiny exoskeletons and vibrant colors immediately catch his eye
He will eventually look forward to see what new friends you bring, even more so once you go over to the human world
Just...keep an eye out for his typical Mammon shenanigans of taking stuff to sell. He knows witches who would absolutely love to have some of your critters so, watch out.
You may find him baby talking to a particular bug he’s fond of from time to time (Mammon and the cat audio drama~)
Takes some time for him to stop being squeamish and handle the bugs
Totally the one to look at whichever critter, point at it and go “haha...Lucifer/[any other of his brothers]” (he may have led you to name a scorpion ‘Asmo’)
If he sees accessories or keychains that are bug related, he’ll buy them for you  “D-Don’t take it out of context! It just reminded me of [bug] and thought of getting it… totallydidn’tremindmeofyou,no”
Any colorful and/or shiny insects interest him, but I can see him loving centi- and millipedes (and pill bugs too, but those are crustaceans aha)
👿❤️ Beelzebub 🍔🤤
“Ah, I can do that too!”   “Beel, don’t! My papers-!!”   *cue him buzzing his wings and all documents are blown away*
At the beginning of your friendship? He’d just be like “...cool…” and keep doing whatever he was doing
Not one to flinch away from the bugs (he welcomes them)
Tell him ants or X bug/s are exceptionally strong, and he’ll begin to take interest in your bug keeping shenanigans
He feels for them, the strength of the tiny things. He’s one half of the youngest brothers, and very physically capable, one could say he relates to them (so tiny, but oh so strong = youngest brother, but oh so buff)
His signature animal is a fly, claims he has a special connection to bugs, but this “sense” was previously not explored… until you came to his life~
Out of the three, I think Beel will be the one to get on with the idea faster, even helping you take care of the bugs. Will also go out of his way to catch a particularly eye catching one for you.
“[Name], look! This one was hanging out near me/was on my path when going somewhere, thought of you and caught it” (insert Reader’s heart full of soft feelings for this teddy bear)
He’s the enabler of you keeping dangerous Devildom bugs. He can do the catching if you’re afraid of getting hurt
Just say the word and he’ll help you clean enclosures, feed critters, free them back to nature, anything
Honestly, you may very well wake up a hidden talent and surprise hobby of his
Please, introduce this boy to any and every bug you come across in the human world! Show him pictures and tidbits of information about all of them, but more so the ones you previously told him are so strong
If you introduce him to an ant farm, he will sit down and eat his snacks while observing the colony closely
Not afraid to handle your bugs at all, likes the sensation of their little legs crawling up his arms
Says he doesn’t have favorites, but absolutely does (he sneaks his favs snacks from time to time, it’s so cute)  Beetles and ants are in his top 5
Mixed feelings about entomophagy (insect eating)
Congratulations! You now have a bug enthusiast buddy to fan with!
👿💜 Belphegor 🛏️💤
“That one’s fuzzy… Can I pet it, hold it maybe?”
Belphie is pretty chill in general, so I don’t see him making a fuzz whenever a bug is brought up to his face
He may act indifferent to your obsession at first, perhaps Beel’s curiosity rubs off on him eventually
Very curious about your moths and tarantulas, and bees (when you get the chance to introduce him to them)
He’s drawn to the fuzzy fluffy bugs because they look comfortable to pet and hold (and sleep with lol)
Beware: DO NOT wake him up to introduce him to a bug, he WILL be cranky. On the same note, don’t even DARE let a critter crawl on his body while sleeping, won’t hesitate to exterminate the thing
This one… edgy boy… The one to warm up and love your arachnids (technically not insects, but let’s let it slide~   remember you’re talking to a biology nerd here, me)
Introduce him to the deadly insects of your word and he will repay the favor by teaching you about any highly dangerous Devildom bugs he knows about
Butterfly magnet. Let your moths and butterflies free in the room and most likely, they’ll land on him. His calm demeanour seems to attract them
Along with Beel, he will invite yourself to you room to look at the fluttering wings of butterflies   “They lull me to sleep”
Perhaps the one that gained a soft spot in his heart is the tarantula. Relates to it in a sense: people are afraid to approach it when it’s actually quite chill (when not provoked)
If you have Madagascar roaches… This was one of the first times you saw him flinch and let out a (very monotone) yelp, the hissing spooked him good
He may buy a blanket with bug patterns on it because it reminds him of you, sleeps with it when missing you
He’s more of taking pictures and sending them to you if cool bugs, spiders, and even snails cross his path. He will text a “Reminds me of you”  “Cool bug”  “Is this a bug?” along with the pics
Up in the human world: PLEASE catch a jar of fireflies for this boy! His eyes will light up at the amazing little natural light bulbs trapped within
Will want to take some fireflies back to the Devildom bc they remind him of the night sky and its stars
A very chill boy towards your obsession, but will eventually encourage you to keep doing what you love
Thank you for your request~! This was great to think about, if I do say so myself Hope it is to your liking!
You take care as well, anon~ ❤️

Ok actually though since I’m on an insektors kick rn I’m gonna do some species headcanons rq since idk if they’re actually set in stone? Well, if they are feel free to correct me lol. 
soooo starting with the Verigreens: - Fulgor is a fire ant. Apparently the wiki says he’s a walking stick, but I don’t believe that for a second. He’s ant-shaped and fiery!! -Alex is a mission blue butterfly. -Pyro is an imperial moth. I know he really ought to be a butterfly, but I think moth fits better because of his antennae-- they look more voluminous, like a moth’s. (also I really couldn’t find any butterflies that looked that much like him...) -Daltonio is a green bottle fly. -Magus is a walking stick I think? I’m going to say he’s a pink winged walking stick, because most walking sticks don’t really have wings, and a lot of the ones that do have very flashy patterns on them. The pink winged variety are just all one color. 
As for the Kruds: -Queen Bakrakra is DEFINITELY a ghost mantis. No question about it, the head shape and color line up perfectly! -Prince Maximillian could either be a ghost mantis OR a Carolina mantis... I’m not really sure, I don’t think his head shape is nearly as distinctive as Bakrakra’s... Maybe he’s a hybrid then? -Krabo is a smokey brown cockroach.  -Teknocratus is a maize weevil. I know they’re not really blue, but they are pretty shiny and colorful... and covered in spots. -Lukanus is a stag beetle (go figure, it’s literally in his name LOL)... I’m not sure exactly which one so I’ll go ahead & say he’s a hybrid. There’s TONS of stag beetles but I can’t think of any that are black with gold horns. -Kretinus is a granary weevil. It’s amazing how close in species he and Teknocratus are, they’re nothing alike lol! -Krabouic and Kaboche are green-head ants. They’re not exactly green, but the actual ants are mostly black with green iridescence anyways. They’re also really spikey, much like Kaboche and Krabouic’s armor! -I actually have no idea what Kopius is. Any pointers lol?? Maybe he’s a scarab beetle? that’s probably not right....... -Erik and the Methane brothers (I actually forgot what their names were! also do they have different names in the NA dub?) are all rhinoceros beetles, with Erik being a coconut rhinoceros beetle specifically (his armor texture reminds me of their shells).
I figured I’d put this list together because I actually want to work on a few fan characters for once... and I’m trying to determine the species I want them all to be. The new characters will be a ladybug, a stinkbug, a mayfly, and a spider... I’m not sure which type of spider but I’m sure I’ll figure something out.
EDIT: I’ve done some thinking and Krabouic and Kaboche are probably actually SHIELD BUGS or SQUASH BUGS which are related to stinkbugs... I say this bc their body shapes are kind of similar to the bugs irl and they look like they don’t have thoraxes, which is reminiscent of shield bugs because they also look like they only have 2 body segments. Plus, it’s kind of punny... of course the soldier bugs are shield bugs! actually there’s another stink bug relative called a soldier bug, but those are light brown so I don’t think they’d work.

“Why did they make the vaccine card that size” I said, “now I can’t fit it in my wallet how on earth will I bring it places with me” I said, and lo and behold other people said the same thing because they’re making card holders for them now. (Also you can get it laminated--Office Depot WAS doing it for free through July idk how much it costs now. One source said it’s not necessarily recommended to laminate it because then it can’t be updated with new information if that’s ever needed but also laminating it will help it hold up better idk I probably just won’t bother bc it’s Effort) 
Anyways! I was informed of the existence of card holders by a Shady Tumblr Ad displaying some of these card holders, and I was like “ah interesting. I will not be clicking the shady tumblr ad. but I will go and search on etsy to just see what’s out there” cuz you know how I love to descend down an etsy rabbit hole every now and then. and there are some very fun options! Some have keyrings so you can easily take your card wherever you go, some are little folders so you can keep it along with your passport book if you’re going to be traveling. Here are some favorites. (Usual disclaimer I’m not doing intensive research on sellers etc. I’m clicking search results I like and checking that the item or at least seller has some good reviews) 
Tumblr media
Moths/butterflies
Tumblr media
plaguecore fabric (comes in a variety of colors) 
additionally, a version of that one plague doctor squishable embroidery design that was on the tumblr ad and that I’ve been seeing everywhere. gets points for the PLAGUE PASS but I had to take an image off here for the tumblr limit and decided to pick on this one since it’s already getting its exposure here
Tumblr media
see here’s one of the combined passport holders. Sunflowers! This one is pretty cheap too (5ish bucks plus shipping) and has multiple print options
Tumblr media
THE KRAKEN (another embroidery design I’ve seen several places) 
Tumblr media
AHAHAHA I JUST FOUND THIS ONE. THEY’RE COFFIN SHAPED. And the seller says they’ll use any fabric pattern from their other listings too, they have quite a range! 
Tumblr media
This one doesn’t have a keyring but the wave pattern makes me feel cooler just looking at it
Tumblr media
A kind of art-deco-ish pattern with one of those cool star keyrings 
Tumblr media
holographic blue sparkle (this seller also sells a mask with racoons and trash cans that I’m absolutely obsessed with) 
Tumblr media
ohohoho skull design. Also this one is basically a small wallet with two card holders! 
Tumblr media
MOTHMAN 
I think I’ve hit the image limit and I should stop staring at stuff I’m not going to buy anytime soon because I’m on a budget. Runners-up: snap-shut double-card-holder Area 51 design, lavender print, this one has bee or strawberry prints. There’s a lot out there! as usual this won’t show up in any tags thanks to links so reblog if you like it

Hi hi ! Is it possible to get headcanons of what seijoh second years do outside of pratice if possible (how they are in and out of the classroom, their freetime activites etc.) thank you !!
11/16/17 EDIT: the anon said second years and I MADE A BIG MISTAAAAAAKE T_T
ya sure can
Oikawa:
Oiks pays attention in class, but in the witching hour after lunch ahhhh there’s little hope of him staying up esp with a full stomach
Really organized with his stuff….im jealous
Always gets asked to be seated with during lunch, but always goes to Iwa-chan and Makki in the next class!
aaaand always gets asked to be seated with during lunch even with iwa-chan and hanamaki
freetime activities include trying to create masterpieces (makeup on his sister, maybe some painting, maybe some origami)
he did that big swan with the triangles once for hanamaki’s bday. it sits on his dresser
other hobbies are free reading at night. Pick up a book and he’ll be immersed for hours on end
yknow apart from vbc and studying (which already takes up a lot of his time)
also! he likes planning the family gatherings and cooking for them!
he also personally likes taking takeru out….sometimes to volleyball training, sometimes shopping…..
Iwaizumi:
yknow he did the ‘iwaijime’ thing once. he was pretty shocked, but he also thought it was pretty funny when he saw the video…
aaand not so happy when he found out it was oikawa’s yt
in class? he really tries to understand math but this poor boy really doesn’t get any of it
he’s so good when it comes to experiments or application though
outside of class? he goes home and eats, watches tv, does the 100 self receives. he also likes to watch butterflies, moths, and fireflies if he can.
sitting with tea and studying, listening to the cicadas….yeah
Matsukawa:
sleepy boi is sleepy bc oikawa always trains them hard and he struggles to understand concepts at night….
wonders why seijou doesn’t have a spirit animal, but has a spirit plant instead
actually likes archery
magic & comedy! that’s why hanamaki’s his assistant
Hanamaki:
his name was once translated by oikawa because hana = flower and they call him makki, so he’s flowermakki on social media. it stuck.
actually does photography on his phone.
he keeps fish! a pretty betta boy to be exact
cosplay, making music, drawing the big murals
the difference between hanamaki and oikawa is that oiks is okay with doing the A4 papers. but with hanamaki, he’s got one of those 48″ canvases with oil and pointilism of his betta boy.
his parents won’t let him showcase it for some reason; it looks perfect
spaces out and thinks about a) how the world will end or b) what kind of ice cream he’ll have later

hey just another miraculous AU
JUST A PSA IM ON MOBILE AND IT WONT LET ME PUT A READ MORE??? I went all out I wrote like the entire plot of the movie Has a tangled AU been done??? Probably ??? Who cares ??? Okay so -“this is the story of how I died… OH DONT WORRY ITS A FUN STORY HAHA!! and it starts with a magic, golden flower” -Queen Momma Agreste gets hella sick and she’s gotta have this baby right, so King Gabriel sends for the ‘mythical’ golden flower -surprise surprise they find the flower, which completely enrages a forest wizard named Hawkmoth who has been using it for its intense power and the immortality it grants -Queen Momma Agreste drinks the flower tea and boom we have a baby prince, Adrien, with a full head of blonde locks and he’s just cute and all is good -of course Hawkmoth wants to join the fun so he kidnaps Adrien for the powers his hair possesses -so Hawkmoth and Adrien are living up in this tower in the woods now and Adrien learns to recite this poem to use his power (the song basically but spoken) -King Gabe and Queen Momma Agreste light off these little butterfly lanterns on his birthday and there’s just a swarm of glowing butterflies on his birthday and he knows its for him -also important Adrien befriends a little chameleon that he names Plagg ;) -So fast forward like nearly 17-ish years and cut to scene with Marinette, Chloé and Sabrina all pulling off a sick heist to steal the Crown of the Black Cat, which is basically Adrien’s crown he was supposed to get on his coronation day -(So if you haven’t caught it yet, Adrien is Rapunzel and Marinette is Flynn Ryder) -So basically Marinette’s nom de plume is Ladybug, its what she goes by on all her heists and what she’s wanted as -So anyway Her and Chlo and Sab all break into the castle and snatch the crown, they get chased by the guards, including the best guard Alya, and the best horse Tikki -Cue a joke by Mari with her wanted poster about how they “ just can’t get my ____ right” each time it’s a different thing -after this, ur girl Ladybug totally is selfish at this point in the story and takes the crown and leaves Chloé and Sabrina for the guards -Alya gets thrown off of Tikki but Tikki still chases after Marinette. Until Marinette finds a hidden lil cave, that’s more like a lil rock hallway that leads to a meadow with a fairly nice tower -So what should Marinette do?? Climb the tower of course! -Don’t worry Adrien doesn’t hit her with a frying pan, she literally eats shit when she walks in and knocks herself out. Clumsy Girl y’know. -Adrien is just like ???? Wt F wHo thE heCk just smacked their face on my floo- ITS A FEMALE WHAT PLAGG HELP WHAT DO I DO IVE NEVER SEEN A REAL LIVE GIRL ONLY IN THOSE BOOKS -Plagg is very obviously annoyed and is like “boi put her somewhere and show hawkmoth you can handle yourself (even though she knocked herself out)” -Adrien kinda catches on so he literally just pulls her to a closet and puts her in -her bag falls open as he’s moving her to an upright position and the black crystals of the crown catch his attention -basically an “ooh shiny!” moment,,And he takes it and looks in the mirror and tries to figure out what it is -he puts it on his arm and looks through it and then puts it on his head -and he’s like “woah I look like those princes from my book” “haha as if” -(LIKE BOI YOU ARE SHHSHDJS) -anyway so hawkmoth comes home from wherever the hell he went, town or whatever idk, and Adrien is like !! FATHER LOOK WHAT I DID!! -Hawkmoth does not care literally at all he’s like “Adrien please recite your poem for me it calms me” and Adrien rushes through it and HM is just like ??? bOI -Adrien tries to show him our girl Lady Luck -Hawkmoth will have None of That -“You can’t handle yourself, the world is dangerous” -He literally doesn’t listen to Adrien’s pleas to leave the tower at all either -“you are NOT like anyone else!

Call it fate, destiny-” “A horse” “Im not finished… you were brought to me today for a reason, and that’s to help me. You’re going to be my guide” -Marinette is like “awh man I wish I could but see I have to get this cro-OH NO, WHERE IS MY BAG?” -Adrien holds it up like ;) and she’s just so done -“If you take me to see the lights tomorrow, I will return it to you, if you refuse, I’ll turn you in.” -“wait the stupid butterfly lanterns they light off for the lost prince?” -Adrien is totally in awe that they’re not some weird star thing, they’re butterflies -she shakes her head and knows she can’t really refuse so she plans it out in her head on how she can cheat the system -Adrien’s already covered that in his head though she can’t get away with anytHing -(except maybe making him fall in love with her ;)))) -So she agrees and she’s like “The names Ladybug” -he’s kinda like ¿ strange name but Okay!! “My name is Adrien!” -ANYWAy they leave the tower and Adrien is like 👀👀 this is no bueno I should not be doing this but omg I’ve never felt so FREE!!! -he has a blast omg that boy goes running through the woods and he’s laughing and he’s like “FATHER WOULD BE SO ANGRY BUT I DONT CARE” -meanwhile hawkmoth sees Tikki in the woods and has an “oh SHIT Adrien” moment -Runs back home, there’s nothing and no one there, aside from Mari’s wanted poster that fell out of the bag -meanwhile with the Lovebirds™ -He and Mari end up at this pub with some Angry men, including the bar owner Nino, and Adrien ends up singing about his dreams and everyone has fun -the scene that stemmed this idea happens with Mari singing about how her dream involves her being rich on an island -and surprise surprise Hawkmoth finds them but so do the guards and they escape through a tunnel under the pub that Nino shows them, and it leads out into the dry side of a dam -Intense Battle Scene™ -Mari is a badass but then Adrien totally comes out of nowhere like “I came here to attack and I’m honestly having a good time” -They get trapped in a cave that’s filling with water post battle bc they broke shit -they’re literally lowkey going to die and Adrien is like “I’m so sorry I got you into this mess.

They do but they join hands as the song ends and they’re like “awh damn” -so after that ends Marinette and Adrien are both blushing and she points out that it’s almost sundown and they have somewhere to go -they go out into the middle of the lake in a lil boat and Adrien is so so so excited and so is Mari bc Adrien is so happy -the sun goes down and Adrien looks at Marinette completely giddy like !! :DD -and she just smiles so wide back at him because holy fuck she’s never felt so in love in her whole life -Adrien is flicking the surface of the water and watching the waves when he sees the first light -suddenly literally thousands of butterfly lanterns are floating all around them and Adrien is just in complete awe -Marinette clears her throat and he turns to look at her and she has two lanterns in her hand -and Adrien smiles and turn behind him and grabs the bag with the crown and he’s like “I should’ve given this to you sooner, but I was scared… I’m not scared anymore. You know what I mean?” -and she just pushes it down, “I’m starting to” -AND AT LAST I SEE THE LIGHT -And they’re literally a centimeter away from locking lips when Marinette can see Chloé on the beach -and she decides right then to give Chloé the crown and go wherever with Adrien -Adrien of course thinks at first that she’s betraying his trust but doesn’t believe that because he loves her okay? -Cue Adrien getting worried and going to look for her -Hawkmoth fighting Chloé or something and she passes out and he sees Adrien -and he’s like “I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD IM SO HAPPY YOU’RE OKAY” (he says as he takes handfuls of his hair) -Adrien is like “yea okay but Marinette” -And hawkmoth, fricken rat, points to the boat heading toward the kingdom -and he’s like “I think she’s got something better to do” -Adrien is broke af how could this happen how could they love each other so much and just have her break the trust so easily -he’s just kinda done with it so he’s accepted it and goes back to the tower with HM -Meanwhile Marinette wakes up from getting knocked tf out and Tikki is whining super loud bc Marinette is in danger and she can tell -some guards are drawn bc of the whines and Mari has the crown tied to her hand and she’s like “shit” -they throw her in jail and she’s gonna be hung then next morning -Tikki is on a mission and she books it to Nino’s pub -back in the tower Hawkmoth has finished lecturing Adrien and leave him to himself -Adrien takes out the little kingdom flag he got and looks at it -and suddenly he starts to see the symbol everywhere -it’s hidden in all his paintings around his room -and suddenly now he knows -that baby boy is Him -he leaves his room determined to get somewhere -Hawkmoth is like ?? “What’s wrong Adrien?” -“I’m the lost Prince” -“what?” -“I’m the lost Prince!

A butterfly that was once thought to be dying out in the UK has colonised Scotland.
The comma butterfly was in severe decline in the 20th Century and had become restricted to south east England and parts of the Welsh borders.
The UK population has now increased by 138% over the past 40 years and has spread as far north as Inverness.
Scientists believe its “extraordinary” success is due to climate change and the caterpillar’s nettle consumption.
Richard Fox, head of recording for the charity Butterfly Conservation, said: “The comma is clearly responding to climate change, which is driving its spread northwards.
“We have seen this in a number of other species that have spread up from England in to Scotland, but the comma is by far the most dramatic example.
“It now has spread not only through the whole of northern England but up through the Scottish Borders and Lothians, through Fife and Angus. It is now on the outskirts of Aberdeen and has been spotted in recent years near Inverness.”
Hop dog
He said the comma was once firmly associated with the plant hop and was sometimes nicknamed the hop dog.
“Although hop is still around as a wild plant, the mass agricultural growing of hop for brewing is much diminished nowadays,” he said. “It is also much more thinly spread in Scotland.
“But commas have become less dependent on hop and started to specialise on other things, particularly on the stinging nettle.
“Climate is driving the change but the comma has only been able to achieve this amazing spread north because it has become more specialised on stinging nettles, which are very widespread.”
Comma butterfly
The orange and brown-coloured comma – Polygonia c-album – takes its name from a white marking on its underside that is shaped like a comma.
With their wings closed, resting or hibernating adults are camouflaged against dead leaves, while the larvae, flecked with brown and white markings, resemble bird droppings.
The species has a flexible life cycle, which allows it to capitalise on favourable weather conditions.
Conservationists want the public to chart the progress of the comma during this year’s annual Big Butterfly Count.
The world’s largest butterfly survey, which runs until 6 August, encourages people to spot and record 18 species of common butterflies and two day-flying moths across the UK.
The results will help track the ongoing spread of the comma and could shed more light on the population fluctuations of the butterfly.
Mr Fox added: “The comma is one of the Big Butterfly Count species that has bucked the trend and done well in Britain over recent decades. It may be even further north than we currently know.”
‘Success story’
Although found in a wide variety of habitats, adult commas can be seen feeding on bramble, thistles and knapweed along canals and riversides. Their caterpillars feed upon nettles and hops in the same areas.
Sir David Attenborough, president of the BC charity, said: “Canals and rivers are fantastic locations for many species of butterfly.
“The comma is one of our most exquisite butterflies and hearteningly is also something of a butterfly success story.”
Those wanting to take part in the Big Butterfly Count should find a sunny spot and spend 15 minutes counting butterflies.

Do you have any headcanons for Marissa? I love her and she doesn't get enough love 🥺 or any headcanons about how butterflies work in the world of Hollow knight? Sorry if I'm being annoying
Oooh I love Marissa! And I also have butterfly headcanons that I can share here too bc its relevant to how I characterize Lurien
Some butterfly headcanons:
-Many of the butterflies that lived in Hallownest were immigrants, and often did not establish families, simply because they often require warmer, dryer climes than what they could tolerate. They're generally more surface insects and were far more common in Dirtmouth
-Multiple species court through intricate flight displays, which shaped their culture; it's very common to associate butterflies with song, dance, and theatrics because it's very common among them. This also served to deter them from Hallownest; though the kingdom is rather fond of arts and appreciative of it, it's often a lot...sadder than what the butterflies preferred
-Many have a superfluous association with Grimm, and a few legends hinting to the Heart in their shared history, because he's quite fond of their talents. It's rumored among higher beings that it was him who spawned their race, because of their theatrics and similarities in form to Radiance's moths, but many others think that they're far too cheery/focused on beauty to fit him, as he is more focused on fear and death than he is necessarily beauty. He thinks these legends are rather amusing and refuses to confirm or deny them
-Beauty and/or visually stunning markings is essential to their culture, and they often 'speak' with their wings as much as they gesture with their hands, as an almost sign language of sorts. Certain species of butterflies have more 'rank' than others due to the beauty of their markings, with rarer colours and high-contrast marks scoring at the top of the ladder (based off that one moth in the spirit glades who says her wing markings are of a higher caste or something)
-Despite their tendency to have a bombastic nature, they are often more frail of health than many bugs, and are prone to disease and injury. Spellcasting and ranged weaponry is common for those few who take warrior positions, and they are fast, clever, and aggressive opponents to compensate. They are, however, prone to falling ill and dying quickly, which means that they fell hard when the Infection hit
-This is partially because of their aforementioned vulnerability/artistic, ambitious nature, and also partially bc they reminded Radiance of her moths and allowed her to take out her spite and betrayal without directly harming her children (who I believe were almost completely wiped out by the time she came back)
And some Marissa headcanons!
-Lurien and Marissa are the only butterflies in the city of tears in late Hallownest which means a lot of well-meaning folk who actually know Lurien’s species kept saying they should date. The problems with this are that a.) Lurien is gay, and b.) Marissa has no idea that the Watcher is actually a real, living bug
-Marissa's kind of a more exhausted, jaded singer bc she doesn't like constant attention so she doesn't want any of her love life to be public, which sadly means that everyone thinks that she's free and looking for anotha butta. She’s not. She has a wife (don’t ask me about her wife tho bc she’d be an oc and I’m bad at making those)
-She does enjoy singing and appreciation for her talents when appropriate, though, so even if she was given another job option, she likely would stay a singer. She just wishes that she wasn’t as popular as she is in Hallownest, especially since a good chunk of her popularity can be attributed to her rarity rather than just her talent. Everyone wants to come stare at the pretty butterfly with the pretty wings, not everybody is there because of her talent. 
-In addition to being a good singer, she’s also a surprisingly good actress/liar, even if she doesn’t quite enjoy it. This talent has gotten her out of a number of tricky situations in the past
