u up?
notchatnoir
thinking of me? 😘
marinettedesigned
-_-
notchatnoir
what’s on your mind, princess
marinettedesigned
ok first you have to promise you won’t make fun of me
notchatnoir
that’s not fair. u can’t make me promise that ahead of time
marinettedesigned
fine then good night
notchatnoir
ok ok!! I PAWmise
marinettedesigned
ok
i’ve been thinking about...soulmates
notchatnoir:
...
oh?
:)
:))
:)))
marinettedesigned
NOT YOU
just like, in general
notchatnoir
ok, what about them
marinettedesigned
nvm, it’s stupid
notchatnoir
aw, come on
I didn’t even get the chance to not make fun of you
marinettedesigned
well it’s not like i’ll even have one so there’s no point talking about it
notchatnoir
you might tho
marinettedesigned
my friend max says the statistical probability of having a soulmate is like negative one billion
notchatnoir
that doesn’t even make sense
that’s just. not how statistics work. lol
marinettedesigned
whatever!! the point is, im not going to have a soulmate. end of story.
so no need to catastrophize about it
notchatnoir
HA
CATastrophize
marinettedesigned
that was unintentional
notchatnoir
sure, sure
but why would you even be worried about it? it’s a good thing ?
marinettedesigned
is it? it just doesn’t seem right
notchatnoir
wym
America explain
marinettedesigned
idk, the idea that the universe is the one that picks who you love
instead of you picking for yourself
notchatnoir
i don’t see it that way
marinettedesigned
ok well how do you see it then
notchatnoir
i think a soulmate connection is different from love
marinettedesigned
??
notchatnoir
i mean, you can love someone who isn’t your soulmate, right? most people do, since soulmates are so rare anyway
so the soulmate bond has to be something different from love
marinettedesigned
i guess?
but i mean you still don’t pick your soulmate
you just click and you don’t get a say in who it is
doesn’t that seem weird? Or wrong?
notchatnoir
not really
marinettedesigned
not even a little??
ii mean, if i had a soulmate who could feel my emtions just by touching me then i’d want it to be someone *i* picked, wouldn’t you??
i don’t think i could ever handle a connection like that with a total stranger
UGH just thinking about it stresses me out
notchatnoir
well, it woulndt necessarily be a stranger
as far as i understand, it’s just a random moment. it doesn’t have to be the first time you touch or anything
so it could be someone you know
marinettedesigned
ok regardless
it still would be someone you didn’t pick
imagine if you clicked with someone terrible!! like chloe. Or LILA. gross
notchatnoir
ha. don’t worry, that’s not gonna happen
marinettedesigned
you don’t know that
there’s still at least a negative one billion chance
notchatnoir
no way. the universe isn’t that cruel
marinettedesigned
it’s cruel enough to make you break my lucky hair tie
notchatnoir
oml I SAID I WAS SORRY
can’t you forgive me??
i’ll get you a new one
marinettedesigned
never
the lucky hair tie is not replaceable
thenperish.png
notchatnoir
Ugh, you act like that hair tie was your soulmate
marinettedesigned
maybe it was
and that’s why i feel so empty inside now that it’s gone
sad_cowboy.jpg
notchatnoir
marinette please
marinettedesigned changed the channel name: boulevard of broken hair ties
notchatnoir
really
marinettedesigned
I walk a lonely road
the only one that i have ever known
🤧
notchatnoir
come on, stop deflecting
i know something is still bothering you
(OTHER than the lucky hair tie, i mean)
marinettedesigned
ugh. fine
idk
You know how i am
I overthink things
I guess the idea of having a soulmate just freaks me out
notchatnoir
I get how it might be scary
To share everything with someone without really having any privacy
marinettedesigned
Maybe that’s it? Im not sure what exactly it is about it but...
I don’t think want it
A soulmate, i mean
notchatnoir
I do
Honestly, not havign secrets sounds so nice
I hate having to keep things from people i care about
marinettedesigned
Im sorry, chat
That must be hard
notchatnoir
yeah :/
but it’s ok. comes with the mask
marinettedesigned
I definitely understnad why that would appeal to you but tbh I still don’t get it
notchatnoir
Don’t get what
marinettedesigned
how you have so much faith in the soulmates thing
Do you think it still means something? To love someone, even if the universe said you had to?
or, not love, but...whatever you want to call it, i guess
notchatnoir
I think it still means something
im not sure we ever really choose who we fall in love with, soulmates or not
but we choose how to love them. and that’s the same, right?
marinettedesigned
I guess
notchatnoir
Well, have you ever been in love before?
marinettedesigned
…..yeah
notchatnoir
so did you choose to fall in love?
marinettedesigned
i guess not
it just sort of...happened
notchatnoir
Same
marinettedesigned
when you fell in love with ladybug?
notchatnoir
Yeah
I didn’t choose to fall for her, but i did choose to love her
Does that make sense?
marinettedesigned
Sort of
notchatnoir
what i mean is that i chose to keep loving her. to keep hoping. and keep trying.
marinettedesigned
right...
sorry, am i being too nosy?? you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to
notchatnoir
nah
I mean, i’ve never exactly been subtle about it lol
besides, i don’t mind talking about stuff like that with you
it’s like one of the few personal things i can talk about without compromising my identity
marinettedesigned
right
so,,,
are you still in love with her?
(you don’t have to answer)
notchatnoir
honestly, i think i’ll always love ladybug
but it’s not the same as it used to be. she made it clear she didn’t feel the same way, and i guess eventually i learned to give her the space she wanted
and that made us grow closer in a different way. but it also changed a lot
marinettedesigned
oh.
how so?
notchatnoir
well, like i said, you choose how to love, right? so i guess i chose to love her a different way
like, more at a distance. still there, still steady, but not as painful? because i wasn’t wishing for something i knew i couldn’t have
i moved on, i guess. Not from loving her, but from loving her that way
I just kind of learned to be satisfied with what i did have. And be happy with her friendship
did any of that make sense haha
marinettedesigned
actually, yeah
I understand exactly what you mean
notchatnoir
dont get me wrong- i’d be thrilled if ladybug turned out to be my soulmate
but if im being honest
if i had a choice
there’s someone else i’d choose
marinettedesigned
really?
who??
notchatnoir
can’t tell you
marinettedesigned
yeah,,,
I know.
notchatnoir
sorry, i feel like this didn’t help you at all
marinettedesigned
no, it did. I think.
but it’s all irrelevant anyway
neither us is going to have a soulmate
notchatnoir
right
negative one billion chance lol
but you know, if it makes you feel better, you don’t have to have a soulmate
marinettedesigned
what do you mean
notchatnoir
well the click only happens with skin to skin contact, right? so u just have to make sure u never touch anyone ever. lol
marinettedesigned
ha. thanks
helpful advice
notchatnoir
and even if you do click with someone you still don’t have to be with them
i’ve heard that if you don’t nurture the connection then it weakens
so you could starve it on purpose. just let it die
marinettedesigned
that sounds mean :(
notchatnoir
well, the point is that you always have a choice
the universe cant make you love someone if you dont want to love them
marinettedesigned
right
notchatnoir
I guess that’s the real reason i have faith in the soulmates thing
I know how i’ve chosen to love, and i trust that if something is meant to be, it’s because i chose a certain path, not because that path chose me
marinettedesigned
that makes like 12% sense i guess
but you know it sounds really cheesy, right
notchatnoir
obviously
have you met me
marinettedesigned
Unfortunately :/
well, i hope you and mr. banana are very happy together, then <3
notchatnoir
hahahaha
we’ll both be wearing an MDC original down the aisle ✌️
marinettedesigned
sorry, i dont make costumes for furries
or fruities
notchatnoir
:( cant believe you’re gonna make me look like garbage at my wedding wearing some crusty gabriel design. smh
marinettedesigned
hey! gabriel is good
notchatnoir
press x to doubt
he’s ok ig
but he’s got nothing on rising fashion star marinette dupain cheng
marinettedesigned
💜
well maybe i’ll make an exception
since you are such a master of the art of flattery
but it’ll cost extra
notchatnoir
no friends and family discount?
or like a heroes discount?
marinettedesigned
nope
im running a business, not a charity
notchatnoir
well then it’s a good thing i’m loaded
marinettedesigned
pffffft. sure
notchatnoir
how do you know im not
maybe i’m as rich as your friend adrien
marinettedesigned
Lol okay. He has a climbing wall in his ROOM
notchatnoir
sounds lame
marinettedesigned
and a zipline
and a fullsize basketball hoop
notchatnoir
yeah and??
is that supposed 2 impress me
it doesn’t sound nearly as cool as your room
marinettedesigned
my room is like 1/100 the size of adrien’s lol
notchatnoir
so? it’s cozy. and it has twinkle lights
i like them they remind me of little fairies
marinettedesigned
you’re such a dork
notchatnoir
i believe the word you’re looking for is “super sauve super charming super LOADED super hero”
marinettedesigned
so suave that you cant even spell suave huh
crap how is it almost 2
we have school tomorrow. ugh
sorry i kept you up
notchatnoir
no worries. cats are primarily nocturnal
marinettedesigned
unfurtunately so are marinettes
which is very bad when they have to get up early for school every day
notchatnoir
wait
was that a typo or did you make a cat pun
marinettedesigned
i don’t know what you’re talking about 😽
okay goodnight <3 thanks for talking with me
I feel a lot better
notchatnoir
glad to hear it
marinettedesigned
and for the record
if you did have a soulmate
(hypothetically)
they’d be really lucky to have you
notchatnoir
thanks
your hypotehtical soulmate is also very lucky
marinettedesigned
💕
alright, see you friday
notchatnoir
hang on
are there going to be pastries
I refuse to come if there’s no pastries
marinettedesigned
oh no
we’re all out of pastries, sorry :(
notchatnoir
u live in a bakery
marinettedesigned
yeah, a really good one
we’re all sold out
notchatnoir
so it’s more like a fake-ery, huh
marinettedesigned
2/10 for effort
-1 billion/10 for terribleness
notchatnoir
rude
marinettedesigned
<3
notchatnoir

marinettedesigned
