opensummerAlya runs the definitive Ladybug site. She’s the first call for Ladybug interviews (and if Chat ever gives one she’s likely to be his first choice too- a. Because he trusts his lady’s judgement and b. Because he knows her.) Alya is, in fact, the only member of the media we’ve seen Ladybug speak too.
Ladybug literally leaps right past the camera crews to talk to Alya in the mime episode.
So she has exclusive content, is basically guaranteed to be right on site when an attack breaks out (I have theories about that too but that’s a whole ‘nother post) and runs a site specifically for her content.
Alya Césaire is absolutely internet famous. Full stop.
The Ladyblog is not something she really expected to take off. (tbf Alya never expected to be living in a world with superheroes in it.) But she was on site when the first attack happened and a child of her generation and a reporter to the bone- so she’s got the best angle when Ladybug appears and shouts at “Lucky Charm” to the sky.
She ran a blog half heartedly before Ladybug and the footage of that fight, the first fight, is the post with the single most comments, reblogs, likes. She turns off her phone that night because it won’t stop buzzing as notifications come in. The conversation that comes out of it, the speculation, it’s better than fandom for her. She’s deep down the rabbit hole when the next Akuma strikes eight blocks down from her apartment. Alya runs towards the fight.
The Ladyblog is created the next day. It’s a mix of exclusive footage, speculation on origins and identity of their hero, and squee.
She’s there two weeks later when Chat Noir joins the fight, already recording, and he has to haul her out of the way of a plasma blast. She gets the first interview either of them ever gives that time.
It’s willful the way she throws herself into danger after that.
