Comparing old and new art of Fiona being supportive of Shizuke adapting some rebellion in his fashion choices. It was always the plan for them to have a scene like that.

[erisluna35ocblog]

Most of them, yes.

Shizuke for example, his name is supposed to be written with the kanji for "quiet". I picked it for irony, as his personality has always been high strung, emotive and loud. In-universe, his parents were hoping for a quiet child, but fate said "nope".

Blake and Blair, they're a bit of a funny case with their parents. While yes, in and out universe, their names were intended to match cause, twins. Their parents based the twins' names as a combination of theirs for Blake (from Bianca for similar letter sounds and Noir for meaning), then they named their unexpected 2nd child Blair to match. I came up with Blair first, named her twin Blake match, and their parents names are decided based on rescrambling the twins names.

Keagan and Fiona also have a funny relationship with their nicknames, Kaji and Fuyu. Their nicknames were their placeholder names but I got attached so I picked their official names based on sound and similar-ish meaning. I eventually decided to keep their beta names as nicknames by having Shizuke butcher their new official names out of nerves.

The rest followed similar reasons for their current names, having it based on their beta names. Sometimes I picked names just cause they sounded cool and had their in universe parents think the same.

Why is your OC named what they're named? Is there a different reason in-universe than out-of-universe?

[erisluna35ocblog]

When you broke up cause you're a superhero now, and so is your sister, and the villain is hunting you down... and your ex-girlfriend is so pissed at you she accidentally chose the most appropriate song to get to you. You'd swear to her it's not her, it's your enemies if you could but secret identity 101.

Oh, and all your friends are watching it to varying degrees of entertainment.

My MLB OCs in a reverse AU, heroes' side: the mayor's son, the Ladybug and the Chat Noir. Compare and contrast to how they are in the normal ML AU as the Ladyblogger, the best friend and the twin brother of the heroes. I'm just sorry I don't have a proper portrait of how they're normally like besides these pics:

edit: Just when I thought I was done with this, I forgot Kaji's sunglasses haha gimme a minute to fix this.

edit 2: fixed it

[erisluna35ocblog]

I feel like I'm gonna end up with at least two more of these for the reverse au before quitting. It's starting to become a series. This one presented a different kind of challenge for me as Fiona uses cooler undertones and could easily end up looking lifeless if I don't balance it right.

Now for the main heroine of my OC's reverse au, Fiona Kuznetsov! For this AU, she's the Ladybug, hence her earrings, which took the form of little turquoise studs, a referrence to her prime counterpart favoring shades of blue. Her twin tails are inspired by Furina from Genshin Impact, down to the part where if you take them out, you'd be left with Fiona's original shorter hair style. There's some referrences to canon's Ladybugs here, like her shirt pattern is meant to look like a solid pinkish red embroidered version of Marinette's shirt print and those long red ribbons alongside her ponytails are a shout out to Bridgette from the anime PV. Compared to Shizuke and Blair, she has by far the most drastic change compared to her normal look.

Now, why the drastic change?

It's all because her backstory drastically changed just because she didn't have Keagan and Shizuke as her childhood friends. The two boys encouraged her to be more true to herself growing up, being more outspoken and tomboyish. Their impact on her life is meant to evoke the same effect Alya had in Marinette's life, according to the special. But in this AU, the Supreme has them both on a leash in different ways.

Where does that leave Fiona? Still from a rising nouveau riche family with her papa urging her to fit in with the rich kids and dolling her up. Without Keagan to ease off the pressure (being friends with the mayor's son, she basically already got the biggest fish in the pond) or Shizuke to protect (its how she gained her rep as the school's bully hunter), Fiona never had the chance to figure out what she really wanted for herself. And so she followed her papa's wishes and tried to be the perfect daughter because what else could she do? She lived life aimlessly like this, not entirely hating it as her papa is so proud of her at the very least, but not feeling that spark of life because something was always missing... she never knew what it was.

Then everything changed when she met this guy named Keagan at a gala. He looked like trouble. A quick check on social media confirmed he IS trouble. He's an over indulgent party guy while his family is currently in the middle of some scandal, rumored to be involved in illegal business.

She wanted to avoid him except he kept rudely interrupting her papa from approaching those guys who wore white with an intricate red emblem. Eventually, those men left and her papa is upset he never made a deal with them. Fiona was also upset on her papa's behalf and went to confront the carefree jerk... and he had the audacity to tell her her papa should be thanking him for saving him from the Supreme. Trust him, they ain't worth it. Yeah right, said the boy from the family burried in lawsuits. He condescendingly ruffled her head and left her but Fiona wouldn't let it go. So she followed him.

It turns out those Supreme guys knew Keagan interferred on purpose and were planning to rough him up a little. As a warning. Concerned, Fiona went to warn Keagan only to get roped in with him as she's now a witness. Well, that sucks. Keagan is annoyingly relaxed though, he's more surprised by her trying to warn him. What's with him trying to cover her with his jacket, though? To hide her face? So what??? She's still stuck here and the Supreme goons will beat them up or worse - that's when the mysterious vigilante in the black cat suit came and saved their sorry butts. And this became Fiona's introduction to the Resistance.

There, she learned what the Supreme is all about. She wants to help. The butterfly boss lady took one look at her and decided they've got their new ladybug.

In the Resistance as a Ladybug, Fiona was finally free to be who she is and made friends who accepted her for who she is... It made it harder and harder everyday to go back to being Fiona the Jewellry Princess. She finally found her calling.

[erisluna35ocblog]

Did my own extended spin on this tweet:

... Though Fiona believes she has a permanent residence in the friendzone 😅 she thinks he really was joking around and not just taking the coward's way out when he tried to rizz her.

Pokemon AU: Teams

I found some of my old notes on this in my ratty old highschool oc notebook and decided to update them. Not gonna write down all the moves as they can switch them up between battles for strategy adjustments. Just gonna put a few stuff that feels notable like if they EV trained it for a certain stat or make a lot of use if a certain move or ability.

Keagan Gerald Aurelio-Ashworth - has this theme of getting buffed and going all out offensive, very fast. Very fragile.

Houndoom - his main. Specially trained to hit hard and fast. Buffs with Nasty Plot. Knows Overheat and holds a White Herb. Sludgebomb for coverage. If mega evolution is allowed, this is the one he mega evolves.

Torkoal - the Sunny Day setter with its Drought ability. A heavy hitter with Eruption but needs support. In double battles, always paired with...

Liligant - the enabler with After You to bring Torkoal forward. Chlorophyll ability makes her twice as fast with the Sunny Day Torkoal set up. Solarbeam is her main attack, spams it in Sunny Day. In single battles, After You is replaced with Quiver Dance. Sometimes she also has Baton Pass to give all her stat buffs to Houndoom or Volcarona.

Pidgeot - a special one that knows Heat Wave. But if enemies set up Rainy Day, this one also knows Hurricane. Depending on the strategy, can also be the support with Sunny Day or Tailwind. Like Liligant, he's also here for coverage.

Volcarona - Another dual type there for coverage. Quiver Dance to set it up. May hold defensive items like Focus Sash. Another pokemon Keagan went all in with Speed and Special Atk.

Infernape - got him in a starter trio set with Fiona's Empoleon and Shizuke's Torterra. The one Physical Attacker on the team. Hits hard and fast like most of Keagan's team, but instead of setting up, is meant for an explosive opening and gets weaker with every turn as he chips away at his own health with Flare Blitz or lowers his own stats with Close Combat. Typically sent out midway.

Honorable mentions: Arcanine with Extreme Speed, his other Physical Attacker. Tsareena with Queenly Majesty is his other coverage grass type.

Fiona Kuznetsov - balanced defensive with offensive. Very well rounded but favors defense. Works well in double battles or tag teams.

Alolan Sandslash - her pokemon from childhood. The highest level in her team and EV trained for ATK and SPD. His ability Slush Rush gives him an insane speed boost in snow or hail, which is why he is often paired with or comes after Alolan Ninetales.

Alolan Ninetales - while she looks a little too delicate and girly for Fiona's typical taste, she is a gift from Fiona's dad and holds almost as much sentimental value as her Alolan Sandslash. Snow Warning is her ability and is the weather setter of the team. Her Aurora Veil helps buff her team's defenses. She's also a powerhouse with her accurate Blizzard that's helped by the weather and is her main check against fighting types with her Moon Blast. A lot of her tactics are inspired from Keagan.

Gastrodon - the guard whenever she teams up with Keagan thanks to his ability Storm Drain to redirect all water attacks away from Keagan's team. Scald and Earth Power allows him to be an excellent supporting attacker with the chance to cripple the opponents or Smog to prevent set ups. Curse and Recover helps it last in battle.

Corviknight - the pokemon she is best known for. It's typing prevents it from getting Earthquaked like half of her team are infamously vulnerable to. With Iron Defense and Roost, he can last for a long time, all the better for his ability, Pressure. Typically holds a Rocky Helmet. Sometimes knows U-Turn whenever Fiona needs a safe pivot.

Metagross - Her strongest, the final boss of her team. Being a Psychic type, they are one Fiona's counters for the fighting types more than half of her team are weak to. Bullet Punch gives it a surprise for its typically low speed.

Empoleon - got him in a starter trio set with Keagan's Infernape and Shizuke's Torterra. The Stealth Rock setter, typically the pokemon Fiona opens with. Roars to get more pokemon hit with Stealth Rocks or switches out with Flip Turn. Could be used offensively with Surf or Ice Beam.

Honorable mentions: Mawhile, especially one that can mega evolve. A sturdy Skarmony for set ups and U-Turn.

Shizuke Midorikawa - buffs for a price. Plenty of HP recovery and defensive options. Picked up a bit of sabotage and surprising priority moves.

Breloom - his very first pokemon. His ability Poison Heal combined with a Toxic Orb lets him recover HP in battle while immune to status conditions such as burn. Protect is there to make sure he does get poisoned. Facade is extra deadly with him. May use the Spore + Focus Punch strategy. He plays it pretty safe like this. But when Shizuke decides to be more daring, he gives Breloom an ability capsule to replace Poison Heal with Technician to go all out. Technician helps buff his Mach Punch, Bullet Seed and Rock Tomb. EV trained for SPD and ATK.

Whimsicott - his most utilized pokemon thanks to her ability, Prankster. Uses Stun Spore ahead to slow down or stop the opponent to enable slower team mates like Torterra to get a headstart. Either that or Toxic. Could know either Reflect or Light Screen to protect and Leech Seed to heal her team mates. Moon Blast and Giga Drain are her main offensive attacks. U-Turn lets her serve as a pivot, but is more of a disrupter.

Galarian Corsola - main tank. With an Eviolite to buff his defensive stats, it can tank a lot and even seal off moves with his Cursed Body. Mirror Coat lets him dish back some moves and Strength Sap refills his HP while chipping away the enemy's ATK stat. Sets up Stealth Rocks for flying types.

Pangoro - this one has been with Shizuke since he was a Pancham. He evolved when Shizuke was travelling with Blair for a bit and he looked up to Blair's team, especially Incineroar (and that's how he evolved even though Shizuke doesn't have any other dark type on his team). Bullet Punch helps it counter Fairy Types. With Swords Dance or Bulk Up to give him a boost, he can be extra threatening. Drain Punch helps him recover what HP he lost while buffing himself up. Knock Off is there to prevent the opponent from using their items, it's a move he learned from almost everyone on Blair's team. Sucker Punch is also there to make up for his lack of speed.

Machamp - the main damage dealer. Has the ability Guts so he holds a Flame Orb to trigger it. Facade is pretty much a given. Close Combat is more of a last resort. Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Knock Off and Bullet Punch are there to counter his team's common weakness of Flying, Psychic and Fairy types.

Torterra - got him in a starter trio set with Keagan's Infernape and Fiona's Empoleon. Can set up Stealth Rocks to deal with pesky flying types along with Stone Edge. May use She'll Smash to sacrifice his defensive stats in exchange for offense and speed. Earthquake and Wood Hammer are his main damaging moves.

Honorable mentions: Mienshao, with the moves U-Turn and Fake Out and the ability Regenerator as his pivot. Wobuffet is a difficult pokemon for him to use. Blissey replaces Machamp when he's travelling and is mostly just the team's pokemon center.

Blair Crawford - punishes strategy that requires set ups. Sabotages a lot. Works great on a team. A general pain to fight.

Espeon - her starter Pokemon alongside Blake's Umbreon, evolved from an Eevee. Switches up between Psychic, Shadowball, Dazzling Gleam as her main offensive move depending on who they are fighting. Half of her moveset is dedicated to mess with the opponent. If the opponent is item reliant, chances are high Trick is gonna come into play. If the opponent relies on set up, much like Keagan, she probably knows Psych Up. Sometimes Espeon is just there for support with Calm Mind + Baton Pass. Other moves she might use against Physical Attackers are Swagger or Charm. She is a flexible saboteur and like most of Blair's pokemon, she's EV trained for Speed.

Incineroar - the bane of a lot of competitive Pokemon battlers, of course Blair would use one like the annoying tactician she is. Typically the pokemon she opens with. Intimidate lets him open with an advantage, lowering the enemy's atk. Parting Shot lets him leave whilst lowering the enemy's offensive stats even further. Either that or he Taunts to prevent set ups. In double battles, he likely knows Fake Out. Burning Jealousy sometimes makes an appearance. The primary saboteur.

Gardevoir - her main attacker and the most likely to come out after her Espeon's Calm Mind + Baton Pass set up. Either a Choice Scarf or a Choice Specs user. In double battles, Espeon or Incineroar are there to take it off of her (with either Trick or Knock off) in case she needs to use a different attack.

Gothitelle - Originally, it's a certain witch's pokemon given to both of the twins, but used very differently. Blair's Gothitelle's ability is Competitive, countering opponents that use debuffers or have abilities like Intimidate.

Zoroark - Knowing moves like Flamethrower and Sludgebomb makes it hard to tell if it's really Gengar or when in Blake's team, Ninetales that's out. This guy's moveset is pretty much dependent on his team mates. Knock off, Extrasensory, Punishment and Focus Blast... Blair switches up her team order to make a person take out their counter for whoever Zoroark is pretending to be. This one often switches places with Weavile for extra confusion.

Gengar - another main attacker. Hits fast and hard. Was a Haunter for most of Blair's journey until she traded him for a bit with Shizuke's Machoke to evolve them both. If mega evolution is allowed, this is the final boss with Shadow Tag to prevent escape and Weavile as his most likely partner in a double battle. But if it's not... He shows up a little earlier, likely the second to the last to Curse at whichever enemy pokemon Blair deems as the biggest threat. If they're not dead yet, uses Grudge. His tactics were inspired by Blake.

Honorary mentions: Malamar with Contrary, if the conditions are right, Blair would use him. Mandibuzz helped her get around and also fit her theme of punishing set ups with Punishment and Knock off and her ability Weak Armor. Annihilape is a pokemon she will add to her party once Gothitelle returns to the witch. His ability is Defiant, and is a very straightforward set up sweeper.

Blake Crawford - slow and painful beating. Very spiteful, never lets an enemy go unscathed. All of it builds up to the next Pokemon's advantage.

Umbreon - his starter Pokemon alongside Blair's Espeon, evolved from an Eevee. Typically a staller, using Toxic first then tries to last as long as possible with Protect and/or Wish. Actually, most of his team can learn Toxic. Sometimes, he feels like gambling a bit and uses Swagger + Foul Play, a trick he picked up from his sister.

Ninetales - Starts off by weakening the opponent with Will-O-Wisp, then barrages them with fast and strong special attacks such as Flamethrower and Solarbeam powered by Drought or Extrasensory. Is a mid-battle revenge killer. May Will-O-Wisp team mates that know Facade to trigger a boost, extra deadly when teamed with Shizuke. And right as she's about to die, it lets out one last Grudge to spite the enemy out of their finishing move's PP. She's there to balance out Blake's team of mostly tanks... Tactics with her are inspired by Keagan.

Grimmsnarl - His pivot, much like Blair's Incineroar. Has the Prankster ability to let it move first when using Parting Shot. May also take advantage of that ability to set up Light Screen or Reflect depending on the enemy team. If in tandem with a team mate that has Toxic, guaranteed to have Fake Out to help their poison along. Can be used offensively with Bulk Up to buff his stats.

Gothitelle - Originally, it's a certain witch's pokemon given to both of the twins, but used very differently. Blake's Gothitelle's ability is Shadow Tag and it's role is a staller. She whittles away the opponent's stats with Charm and Confide to buff her survival. Sometimes uses Toxic. Often teams up with Weavile.

Weavile - with Shadow Tag Gothitelle, Weavile with Pressure whittles away the opponent's PP. Uses Torment or Taunt to force the opponent to not stall with set ups and Haze to take away what set up they had. Sucker Punch and Ice Shard gives her a chance to make a few hits. Might get a chance to use Swords Dance to fare better. Punishment if the enemy starts off strong with a lot of atk… or Weavile can force it with Swagger. Again, tactics inspired by Blair's team. She and Zoroark trade places so much that they adapt a blend of the twins' tactics.

Kingambit - is the final boss and ultimate revenge killer. If Grimsnarl set up a screen, then Blake would take his chances and use at least one Swords Dance before going on a slug fest. When all the others are lost, there's no reason not to go all out with Retaliate.

Honorable Mentions: Honchcrow was his main transport. Once Gothitelle returns to her real owner, Greninja will take her place. He sets up Spikes or even Toxic Spikes to make switches more difficult and makes use of his Protean to change his element both defensively and offensively.

(Damien Natalia and Zephyr's will be added later on a reblog)

Reverse AU: The Good Guys

Fiona is the Ladybug for this AU. Haven't come up with a name for her yet.

Blake is the Chat Noir for this AU. Also doesn't have a hero name yet.

They stay platonic though. Fiona's still got something going on with Keagan. While Blake sees Fiona as even more like a sister to him since he got separated from Blair and Fiona is the most sister coded person he's stuck with for prolonged periods of time.

It doesn't help that they started off as a team of four with the Aurelio cousins dropping in as an akuma and as a Butterfly rather than as a duo, so their relationship never got to be as intimate as ShizuBlair's version of the LadyNoir partnership.

Keagan is still kind of an investigative reporter. However, there's now more emphasis on him being the rich mayor's son. He pretends to be a dumb hedonistic party guy with no talent for fencing. Little do the Supreme know, he's Lorelei's go-to combat akuma and is a hacker for the Resistance.

Lorelei is the big good, current head of the Resistance. She descended from a long line of people running the Resistance, all the way back to Adrinette.

Initially, it was just her, a few of her friends (her husband who died so she could escape with her secrets, Mrs. Liung and grandma Hisui), her son Leo, and her nephew Keagan who found a way to contact them discreetly.

Fiona joined in, lead to the group by Keagan. Keagan was initially just trying to convince Fiona to stay away from certain people so her family doesn't get pocketed by the Supreme (like his is) or worse, recruit her (like a certain bodyguard keeping tabs on him). He's doing what he could to prevent the Supreme from getting any more powerful.

But one thing led to another and Lorelei decides this girl had what it takes to be the next Ladybug (instead of her son, whom she'd rather stay safe and away from the front lines as the next Butterfly).

Blake joined in a couple of years before Fiona. Its cause he overheard Mrs. Liung talking to Lorelei, who can't get in contact with the rising model Blair. They can't reach her no matter how many strings they pulled, which is really saying something as one was a former celebrity and the other is the mayor's sister-in-law. They suspect the Supreme had something to do with it. This is why Blake joined the Resistance.

Mrs. Liung couldn't talk him out beyond getting trained first before jumping into the field. There's that and the Supreme tried to get rid of them and framed it as the Resistance's doing, so now they had no choice but to fight back and hidevwith the resistance.

Mr. and Mrs. Crawford were also members of the Resistance until they got caught and were snuffed out... yeah, Blake has plenty of reasons to be angry at the Supreme here and its why he's a bigger grouch in this au than in the main mlb au.

Grandma Hisui (real name: Haruji Tate) was one of the kids the Resistance saved from the Supreme, hence, why the Turtle Miraculous is with them. She left her daughter behind in Japan thinking she'd be safe there. Little did she know, the Supreme had influence there too, through the Tsurugis.

Some people are helping the Resistance but not on a regular basis. The Hale Clinic patches them up during the period when they didn't have a Ladybug. The Guerreros were one of the few rich families who heeded their warning and saw how horrible a deal with the Supreme is. So in gratitude, they let them hide in their property owned by their real estate business. Talia and Damien, being from those families the resistance helped, helps them out whenever they could.

Vincent Liung may be the turtle in this AU, trained by Hisui.

That's about it on everyone actively supporting the Resistance for now.

[erisluna35ocblog]

Characterization Across AUs: Fiona Kuznetsov

Overprotective and fiercely loyal. Especially towards Keagan. Granted, he's an idiot with no self preservation.

Her family has ahigh social status, but that's only because one of her parents worked hard to earn it. She's more of a nouveau riche.

Because of this, she can act pretty rough around the edges despite being a rich girl.

Hates dresses and overly girly things, something she's always at odds with her father about.

However she does like fashion and has an eye for aesthetics - the thing is, her taste leans towards badass (punk, skaters, edgy, suits, knights, armor, metals... it depends on the setting).

Gender noncomforming. Some AUs take this to another level and make her nonbinary. The only constant is her super feminine appearance clashing with her more stereotypically masculine preferences.

Infamous as a bully hunter at school. Also as well known for her beautiful, fae-like appearance.

Strong despite her looks and size. Will kick your ass if provoked. But under that tough guy facade, she's got a more vulnerable and sensitive and understanding side.

This is why she's so image conscious. She doesn't like being perceived as delicate or weak.

One with the highest moral grounds in the main cast. Yes, she's kinder than Shizuke. Very chivalric, cause her concept was based on a knight in shining armor.

The foe the main hero dreads to fight. She's that scary strong. Heaven help them if she gets a power up - which she most likely will get.

Whenever someone important to her is keeping secrets, she chases them down for answers. They can play dumb all they want, but she can always tell... She is a sensitive person after all.

Finding out that secret always ends in some kind of disaster. There's a reason that important person hid it form her to begin with. They didn't want to, but they know her too well. She meant well, only wanting to protect them. She won't react in the best way. They saw that coming and were trying to protect her from herself.

Has a knight and/or bird motiff. Loves blue, black and silver metals. Ice and/or metal are elements most tied to her.

She'll feel like she failed to protect people in all AUs. Especially Keagan, she can't save him from everything. This fractures her confidence in herself. This is why she is overprotective.

Her arc will always include her rebuilding herself image, and not base her entire worth on this.

Whenever Keagan is accused of committing horrible acts, she's quick to defend him and believe he's innocent.

Keagan and Shizuke are the only ones she would trust to show her more vulnerable side to. Blair and Blake eventually get there through the story.

Team work with Blair always starts off rough for the same reasons Shizuke didn't get along with the real Blair at first: clashing morals and how they do things. They always end up as good friends after that.

She gets along better with her brother Gavril's girlfriend than Gavril himself.

Her powersets lets her create weapons. Otherwise, she's considered stronger than average.

While her relationship with Shizuke can carry a lot of romance tropes (she protects him from bullies, he takes care of her, she's his motive or inspiration for his heroic arc, childhood friends who would never abandon each other etc.), they remain strictly platonic. Blair was jealous of this for a while.

Damien and Natalia always start off on her hit list and rarely get close to her, even though they're on the same side. They could get along someday but it's never on the same level as she is with the twins whom she opens up to.

She and Natalia fought over a boy at some point. Context may vary, it doesn't necessarily have to be as love rivals. Ironically, it was more mutual and actively prickly when it was over Shizuke than any other guy.

She and Damien got off on the wrong foot - she first meets him as a bully. Made worse when he picked on Shizuke. She kicked his ass over it. Damien used to have a crush on her, that's part of why he picked on Shizuke in the first place (Keagan was always out of reach).

Blog Guide:

I started this blog to organize my OC lores for those who are interested and want to get to know them better. It's a little complicated as I tend to put them in AUs, and they end up somewhat different depending on the story they're in yet I try to keep the cores of their characters the same. It will take a while before this blog starts posting original content as I put a lot of stuff on main that I will reblog here for now. I will expand and update this as time goes on.

Main OCs:

Keagan Gerald "Kaji" Aurelio Ashworth

Fiona "Fuyu" Kuznetsov

Shizuke Midorikawa

Blair Crawford

Blake Crawford

Natalia Hale

Damien Guerrero

Zephyr Ryder

AUs:

OG STORY - this is the tag I use to label my original concepts for these characters. Before their better known ML AU incarnations, I pictured them in this fairytale-esque fantasy au with Keagan as the main protagonist. Prince Keagan had a leisurely life as the spare to the throne who's only responsibility is tying down the most powerful knight of their generation to stay on their kingdom's side forever through marriage. Everything was set on a track and he had no intention of fighting it. He likes his hedonistic life as a prince and he gets along well enough with his fiance, it's not worth losing over a thing called "freedom". His destiny was agreeable to him... that is, until he learns of a horrible secret that puts his fiance in danger but she can't know about it lest she dies by her own sword because she is stubborn about protecting everyone like the goddamn knight she is. The prince is forced to take matters into his own hands and run away from the capital, recruiting an unlikely group of outcasts, creating enemies from the shadows and have his fiance and his other childhood friend try to drag him back home.

ML AU - this is the tag I use to lump together all stories set in the show called Miraculous Ladybug.

BTaL - Between Truths and Lies, posted on Ao3 and FF.net. Acronym can be pronounced to sound like "Beetle" lol. The basic premise is its lowkey a future gen fic focusing on the new heroes, Shizuke Midorikawa as Ladybug and Blair Crawford as Chat Noire. Follow their journey as they struggle through superheroing, magic, love, grief and one evil butterfly lady.

N2CatS - No Two Cats are the Same, posted on Ao3 and FF.net. Acronym can be pronounced like "N-2-Cats". It's the time travel story set midway S2 of BTaL that features canon characters and how they deal with being stuck with my ocs for a week. Focused mainly on character study. It jumps off from an alternate end to Ephemeral where Sass's last resort ends up yeeting Adrien and Blair into each other's eras. Can be read as a stand alone despite its references to BTaL, as most references come with an explanation or much context isn't needed to be understood. Though reading BTaL first does enhance some of the references and enhances foreshadowing.

Otome Game AU - You know those manhwas where the protagonist, usually female, wakes up one day into the romfan world of the otome game or novel she was reading before she died? And she's in the body of the villainess, or the heroine or some extra? This AU, that's my entire main cast. A group of tired and stressed college students were working on a game for their thesis. They either worked themselves to death or their kidneys gave out from too much red bull or maybe they were half asleep walking home when truck-kun came for them, who knows. Thing is, they all died. Individually woke up into the body of the character that was modelled after them - which explains how none of them realizes they're not the only one who reincarnated. Chaos ensues. Can they all come to the same page before its too late?

CHARACTER ARTS NOTES AND OTHER INFO

[erisluna35ocblog]

My girl ocs are far more deliberate with their choices than the boys. Mostly it comes down to style preferrences.

Like Fuyu is a tomboyish punk who thrives in fights, so she cuts her hair short to keep it out of the way.

Natalia is a girly girl who thinks long hair is pretty but because of hair quality (or in the og, its cause she's a sea witch with tentacles for hair), she can't get it longer than just a couple of inches below her shoulders.

Blair has the longest thickest hair that goes down to her hips and often styles it in memory of her mother.

Why does your OC style their hair the way they do?

Blake and Blair obviously get along. The twins will die for each other. But will also rib each other. In stories where Vincent is their foster brother, they find his overflowing affection for them hella cringe but they'll die for him too.

Damien is a good older brother towards his younger brother. Kind, gentle and protective, its why he's good with kids.

Natalia is such a middle child between an older sister and a younger sister. Can't stand either of her sisters but will come for anyone who hurts them.

Keagan looks up to his golden child older sister however they're a bit distant.

Fiona often squabbles with her kind of a bully older brother, but there's no real hate between them.

Shizuke and Zephyr are both only childs who adopted their friends. Fiona and Keagan may as well be Shizuke's baby siblings. Damien and Natalia could pass as Zephyr's older siblings.

How well does your OC get along with their siblings?

Pfft... probably how Keagan and Fiona's first kiss happened lmao.

Bonus: they're both rich. Neither needed the money. They just needed an excuse. Nobody believes them it was just on a bet.

Would your best friend OCs kiss each other for $100?
