Summary:

"They're right to say you're jealous!" protests Lila, with a sideways glance at Adrien. "You—Marinette, you shouldn't be ashamed of your art! You just need to work harder and stop wanting to be me." That isn't a sweet smile: something about the eyes. "And I'm sure the right person for you is out there somewhere."

Okay, fuck this noise. "Adrien got me to autograph the CD insert of his copy of Jagged Stone's Rock Giant," Marinette says flatly. "Because I am Adrien's very good friend, and he only ever talks to you when you give him no other choice. And I don't know what art medium you actually work in, but if it's figure drawing I bet you're still on stick people. And you have never met Jagged Stone in your life."

Go on. Tell me I'm jealous of you over your art talent. Or over Adrien. Go on, I dare you.

Lila's mouth works soundlessly. For a long silent moment, no one moves. Then Lila bursts into sobs and flees.

current record afaik: 28 on ch 31 P_Artsypants Longest Night

number of times I've marked the Lila anon's verbatim-identical† comment on today's fic as spam: ||||/ ||||/ |

thinking about going through and clicking Spam on every comment she's ever left, because it's one thing for AO3 to do fuck-all because her unwanted roleplay comments that aren't associated with an AO3 account are annoying, another for AO3 to do fuck-all when the said comments are spammy. timestamps of these comments, per Gmail, are 1:14a, 1:30a, 1:39a, and 1:43a, as of 1:44a when I post this post; you will please to observe I opened Create Entry at 1:40a.

illustrative examples of previous Lila-anon comments: "you're full of something", "go on and sound your horns", "the ball's in your court now"

as far as we know, the Lila anon—I think we're assuming there's only one, excepting cases of people trying to troll her back and also taking the Lila persona—is the same person we were talking about in July. turning on comment moderation does not stop her; at least four of the times she hit P_Artsypants's Longest Night ch 31 were after turning comment moderation on. archive-locking the fic and turning off anon comments will both stop her, but I am among the writers who really wants to do neither.

*cranky*

ETA: per advice from HopefulNebula, leaving this one up and reporting the escalation to AO3 Abuse

† attempt 6 added a line; 7 added a word; 8 changed a word and fixed a spelling error; 9 added a word; am done with this footnote now unless future editions of the comment are significantly different

my birthday morning

Me: second-best sort of day: first thing you want to do after getting up is grab the super stinky pain goop for your hands because that's clearly the only one with half a chance of being effective enough. only better kind: also gagging on toothbrush.

Summary:

“I know he said never to take you back,” Plagg mutters. “But he’d change his tune if he knew.” He looks Adrien straight in the eye and, more serious than Adrien’s ever seen him before, says, “There’s someone you gotta meet. He’s been looking for that book for ages.”

How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?


ETA Jan 15: I am repurposing this list for snowflake_challenge prompt 8: Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

someone with more extensive personal experience with allergies than me

(because I have never in my life had an allergy shot, you see, unless we're counting the dozens of little testing needles)

Suppose an environmental shift such that an allergy trigger abruptly gets a lot more prevalent. (Not seasonal-related.) I am assuming the response in this particular person's case is to start on allergy shots.

WebMD tells me the shots start out once or twice a week for several months, then once they're at maintenance dose level, it drops to every two to four weeks for a few months. I'm not sure when exactly I'm setting this bit relative to the environmental shift in question, but six, eight, maybe ten months later sounds reasonable?

Thing I'm trying to figure out is, how often would this person be getting his allergy shot? How badly would he expect it to go, on a personal health level, if he skipped one shot and didn't reschedule it for ASAP? Would he reasonably think, slash would it be reasonable generally to expect, that he could take over-the-counter antihistamines to bridge the gap to the next scheduled shot without his family noticing?

…no, I'm not trying to figure out how to make an identity reveal via "Adrien misses an allergy shot because Chat Noir has an akuma to beat → M. Pigeon N+1 has Chat Noir sneezing his head off" make realistic sense, why do you ask? in other news, gullwhacker, sometimes I overthink shit…

(this still isn't even important, or not terribly important to the fic I want to write here, or anyway it shouldn't be, as they have already learned each other's identities and by the time the story opens the dust from the emotion explosion has mostly settled)
