I HAD To Draw This!!!

Unpopular opinion: I think Marinette's backstory in Derision works better for Zoe.

I personally don't dislike Zoe, the writers just didn't do a good job with her, but there's a couple of things about her that I really like that would make her less boring than she is if they were explored more.

We know she was used to keep up an act in her old school, and when she couldn't keep doing that, she started to get bullied. They put roaches in her locker and called her a loser, but despite all that, Zoe still had one friend, the one who wrote "I ♡ U" on her sneaker as she explained when she met Marinette.

That's literally Marinette's whole backstory with Chloe and Kim pranking her with spiders and the only person being there for her being Soqueline. I hated this backstory because it was used as an excuse for Marinette's stalking tendencies.

But what if it was instead Zoe's backstory shown in that episode? Let us know how she acted with her classmates and why she couldn't keep up the act anymore. Why did they dislike her when she just wanted to be herself? Instead of spiders, she got roaches in her locker. It was confirmed somewhere that Zoe's only friend was Jessica, the girl from the New York special. It would be interesting to see her again in a flasback, defending Zoe or comforting her.

And this whole story would be an explanation, not an excuse, for Zoe's tendencies of bottling up her true feelings, which is definitelly not as bad as stalking your crush.

I don't know, Zoe is kind of a bland character that I can't hate because I made up my own AU in my head where she's more fleshed out and isn't just a piece of cardboard meant to replace Chloe.😅

8, honestly Marinette’s backstory can work for anyone really other than Marinette. And this proves it, since this makes a lot of sense and would give more insight into Zoé’s character. This backstory also works for Nathaniel as well. In Evillustrator, Evie says this after it was revealed to him, that Marinette is working with Chat noir behind his back.

Which made some fans think he had a crush on Chloé but I think what happened was, that he had a crush on someone and Chloé found out about it. Chloé, his crush at the time, and Sabrina plan on pranking and leading him on. This goes on for awhile and the day he confessed his feelings to his ex-crush, the prank and Chloé humiliated him along as Sabrina and his ex-crush. That’s why he said that line to Marinette in that episode. You can see that has some similarities to derision and he doesn’t react in creepy like our main character did. With my theory and your idea for Zoé, that I kinda like, shows how much Marinette doesn’t need this backstory. Rather, she needs consequences and being single.

Also if you need anyone you want to discuss the au with, I’ll be that person since I’m like Zoé’s character and wish for her more than being a cardboard cutout.

Thank you to everyone who reblogged/replied to the last post, it means a lot to me! I'm still fairly busy but I wanted to get at least one more sketch for you guys, so here's a simple comic for the AU.

For some more context, despite "passing" after only a decade with Muzan, Kokushibo left a very lasting impression on him for the future. As the sole man who nursed Muzan back to health after fighting Yoriichi, as well as giving him exclusive information as an insider in the Corps, drafting strategies to dispose of Demon Slayers (especially Sun Breathing swordsmen), and possible locations to start searching for the blue spider lily, Muzan considers him the epitome of devotion and usefulness in a subordinate.

When Kokushibo reported seeing Yoriichi in a nearby town and then later disappeared that same week, Muzan was very uncomfortable with the feelings of loss and grief. As a result of his denial, he still claims the place of Upper Moon One is occupied for no one else to take, ever. He is confident that Kokushibo will come back eventually. Until then, he uses him as the measure of a good employee for the other moons, which can be frustrating for them.

Anyways, you might notice Upper Two and Upper Three are on slightly better terms. They aren't friends per se but they both started their climb up the ladder fairly close to each other in this story, as well as running missions together, so they hold a neutral stance on each other. As personable as Douma is, Akaza doesn't really interact with his coworkers, so Douma considers himself his one friend. They will occasionally have their spats but they're generally amicable.

I would write more but I think that will do ^^ feel free to ask about anything, I mostly have this AU on the backburner so there's a lot of scripted short events that I can cover, even if they aren't fully connected.

As you both notice, it's kind of funny how the interactions of Dr Garaki with both Nine and Shigaraki are such different in the way the scientist treats them (despite both are just lab rats in the end).

Because see how Garaki openly insults, disrespects and laughs of Shigaraki ideas in front of his supposed friends.

Garaki probably felt almost insulted for having to keep the game going just because AFO wants Shigaraki to have this illusion of free choice, when in reality he's just a kid which they still have in the palm of their hand.

Even after MVA when Garaki shows a bit more of tolerancy to Shigaraki for mantain the illusion, in the inside he still makes fun of him because obviously he's the only person to really know Shigaraki is just a vessel playing to be the super villain.

But then we have his interview with Nine...

Notice how the aptitude and demeanor of the doctor is completely the opposite of what we saw with Shigaraki.

Despite obviously he's offering Nine be part of a shady experiment, he acts strangely polite and even shows a bit of curiosity when Nine expose his motives to be part in the experiment.

But also, Garaki thinks Nine is a dangerous individual despite in theory he should be the one in control of the situation and unlike in Shigaraki's case, Nine is alone in front of the doctor.

The biggest difference on how Garaki view Nine and Shigaraki, is that in the first case he sees a real man with strong convictions and an indomitable will who could actually change the curse of the world if he's given the chance.

This is my headcanon, but I think Garaki saw in Nine's eyes the closet to AFO in spirit and convictions (and it's interesting how both of them have the same white/silver eyes, coincidende?).

But for Shigaraki?

He only sees a dumb kid who doesn't even understand the situation he's in. A more obvious puppet who can be used the way he likes.

Shigaraki never had any chance with Garaki.

Oh I forgot to mention, but it's also funny as hell how the doctor shows more respect to Dabi in their private conversations than he does with Shigaraki in the same situation.

This happens because just like Nine, Dabi was a dangerous person who can't be controled so easily by him. So at least it gives him a bit more of respect by the crazy doctor.

I know I’m really going hard with the Bakugo bashing today, but I’m not gonna lie, he has the energy of that one white kid at school who listened to Eminem, or gangsta rap in general once and thinks he’s had a hard life, getting upset at facing actual consequences for his actions, meanwhile he’s the most spoiled/privileged kid in the class. We all went to school with that kid don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.

starry decorations

imagine getting mad because people don't like you glorifying and fetishizing rape/abuse

I’m gonna pretend he’s alive and they eventually get along and become mates, Ok? Ok

Omg welcome back!! You've been sorely missed, I hope you're well <33

Also I'm not on twt and haven't paid attention to the spiky pompom in a while but people hate him now?? :O

Yep 🙌. Well, either they’ve woken up/changed their tune as they grew up/consumed better media or those who were once afraid of speaking out against him have begun doing so. It ain’t perfect but people can finally hate him without worrying about being doxxed 😂

a lot of mp100 is about the loss of youth actually. mob couldn’t let himself be a kid because he was scared of losing control, ritsu couldn’t have a normal relationship with his brother bc of the incident, serizawa grew up in that room, shou couldn’t be a kid because of claw, teru’s been alone and hiding from terrorists for god knows how long... i think the most important thing in mp100 is how each character reclaims that time and experience they lost because of circumstances they couldn’t control. mob laughing being the last panel of mp100 is something that can be so personal
