MLB Deaf Headcanon
- Marinette had meningitis when she was eight and lost her hearing because of nerve damage
- She can kind of read lips but has learned LSF and taught Alya some
- She can’t pronounce façade correctly, which wouldn’t have been a big issue except she did an entire presentation on Roman architecture in seventh grade
- The entire class has essentially learned the basics of sign language (except for Chloe)
- Chloe has tried learning some insults to sign to Marinette
- Whenever Chloe
askstells one of their classmates to show her how to sign a mean insult, they just teach her really wierd things - Rose taught her to sign “I love you” instead of “You’re disgusting”
- Max taught her to sign “I have explosive diarrhea” instead of “You suck”
- Alex taught her some VERY INAPPROPRIATE THINGS instead of “Your hair looks like a mop”
- Marinette knows that the class is just messing with Chloe and it’s hiLARIOUS
- Meeting Tikki for the first time was disasterous
- It took Tikki a few minutes to figure out that Marinette was deaf
- Since Tikki can’t sign with her little nub hands, Marinette keeps a little whiteboard and marker with her
- She’s still deaf when she’s LB, which is great when the akuma’s attacks are sound based
- She’s not very good at being quiet
- Or loud
- Adrien is learning LSF from Nino
- LBs and CNs first interaction was a little rough cuz LB couldn’t really tell what this dumb furry was saying
- CN learns to talk a little slower so she can tell what he’s saying
- The first time CN actually successfully signs something to LB she’s fLOORED
- The second time he signs something, she’s less excited because it was a p u n
- LB and CN have made some secret hand gestures for plans when going up against akumas
- Communicating during fighting is really difficult and annoying but they manage
- LB almost got her head knocked off by a car flying at her from behind (but she saw the shadow and managed to get out of the way)
- Everyone is still freaking oblivious to wHo thE HecK is lAdYbUg????
