he shouldn't have made her complex and entertaining if he didn't want people to like her

So you know this show likes pulling out a storyline with huge potential just to tank it later like the explosions in a transformer movie anyways what are some big plotlines you think the show had and they tanked badly.

One of the most disappointing ones for me is definitely how they handled Luka's character. They gave him so much narrative weight and then just...didn't know what to do with it. So they more or less wrote him out of the show.

I wish he'd been able to stay and be Adrien's confidante, or been trained to be the next guardian instead of Marinette. He's a lot more level-headed than her, and with him knowing the identities of both Ladybug and Chat Noir he might as well guard the miraculous too. (I really thought they were gonna do that when they sent him with Su-Han but alas)

Personally, I think him and Alix should've gotten more screen time together as the time miraculous holders. There's a lot of potential for a really fun dynamic because their personalities are so different.

I'm getting the vibe that he might play a bigger role in the future, especially with the Rio special coming up, and I really hope he does!

Other than that, I mean there's a lot of missed potential in this show. Between Chloe's arch, the Agreste storyline, Lila's role in the class, Nino's role in the show, the power ups, time travel, etc etc. I think most of it has been talked about to death. I can appreciate the show giving us a lot to work with though. I feel like the miraculous fandom is in a really unique position because we have so much to work with for fan content!

@wisteriasymphony look at what i found in the wild

[certifiedducky]

Bunnyx spent a lot of time lying on her back in the burrow, hands behind her head, looking straight ahead. She would say “lying on the floor” or “staring at the ceiling”, but the infinite sameness surrounding her made it hard to tell up from down. The first few days in the burrow were really hard, the lack of direction gave her vertigo so bad that she was violently ill a lot of the time. It was discouraging, because she tended to pride herself on her grit. 

Of course, what she really wanted to do was skip the waiting and jump through to the future, when it would be safe for her miraculous to be active. She tried it once, but was quickly turned away. Older Bunnyx had explained that she’d need to grow up with the rest of her friends, and that she should avoid any rabbit holes that led too far into the future. 

“No spoilers, mini-me.” She’d said, ruffling her hair. 

Easy for her to say. She’d already finished the torturously lonely growing. 

The first few months weren’t too bad. After all, she really didn’t need to stay in the burrow. She had all of history to explore. And there were a lot of places that were on her bucket list, the house she grew up in was practically a history museum, but she wasn’t supposed to directly interact with any of the important stuff. Plus, being away for too many days at a time made her homesick. She spent more time than she’d ever admit watching her friends and family through the rabbit holes with a horrible ache in her chest.

And while Older-Bunnyx and Granny-Bunnyx would visit her sporadically to play overly complicated board games(they never let her win), they had their own lives outside of the burrow to attend to. And they wouldn’t even tell her about it. 

“No spoilers, Mini-me.” They’d say before leaving to their respective places in the timeline. 

She’d thought her freedom was on the horizon when Bug Noire marched into Monarch’s lair. Bunnyx had sat cross-legged in front of a rabbit hole, heart in her throat the whole time. She remembered the crushing disappointed that filled her when Bug Noire lost the butterfly miraculous again. Ultimate blunder wasn’t a strong enough description. It took everything in her not to lash out when she needed to help Ladybug reverse the wish made by the new holder.

Bunnyx missed her friends. A lot. As the months stretched into years, she tracked her growth by watching them age together. She’d join them occasionally, but it always made Marinette so anxious that she felt guilty staying for too long. So she mostly just watched them from the burrow, helping out whenever they needed her. Exploring history so she could leave them letters. She couldn’t let them know how lonely she was.

you know what was crazy? when shannon messenger created this really important mentor figure for the main character in her book series and then killed him off.

that wasn't the crazy part though. the crazy part is that he was actually twin brothers that had the same name and could read each other's minds/had the same memories so they were virtually one person and were treated as such by the narrative so he might as well not have died.

like iirc no one even knew this guy was secretly a set of twins other than the twins themselves. and it also didn't have any impact on the plot overall. like at that point just don't kill off the character lmao why'd you waste everyone's time like that

[certifiedducky]

more redesigns bc 👉👈 i don’t like bunnyx’s design lol. anyway i wanted to show how her suit might change as she matures and also how cute would it be if alix’s pony tail was the “ears” (also i think she would hate the ears when she was younger lol)

[certifiedducky]

hmmmmm i was thinking about the idea of parent-child miraculous, where new miraculous are created with the discovery of new ideas, and the more specific they are the weaker they are.

Creation->Protection->Resistance

Creation->Illusion->Jubilation

Destruction->Elation->Derision

I was making a chart, and figured it'd be easiest to make it as a family tree. As I was putting it together it didn't work quite as well as I was hoping it would, but there were way more "kids" on Tikki's side than Plagg's and I giggled a little over over Tikki creating all these fun ideas and then Plagg decides to give it a try and it's Roarr who's just a mini version of him. And then Xuppu who just like breaks stuff.

All that to say, if the sub-kwamis are Tikki and Plagg's children, Wayzz is Tikki's son and Pollen is Plagg's daughter but i don't know if we're ready for that kind of conversation yet.

“So how many times do you usually use Second-Chance?” Bunnyx was lying on her back in the burrow, speaking through a rabbit-hole that led to the lower deck of the Liberty. 

“It’s never the same,” Luka plucked the strings of his guitar very intentionally. “Depends on the villain of the week. And the headspace of Ladybug and Chat Noir.”

Bunnyx turned onto her stomach, resting her chin on her hands to watch him. She was drawn to him, and had been ever since he became Vipereon. Technically, he was 17. She knew he was closer to 19 because of the Snake, not that anyone else had realized that yet. Rabbit users tended to be more aware of the passage of time. 

“What’s the longest you’ve been in a loop before?” 

“Two weeks.” He stopped playing and looked up through the rabbit hole. “What’s the longest you’ve been stuck in the Burrow?” 

She grimaced. One time, back when she’d first moved into the Burrow, she’d lost track of her timeline. It was terrifying. 

“I live here,” She said, opting to feign indifference rather than being honest. “That's like asking the longest time I've spent in my room. Try asking me a cooler question.” 

She avoided looking at him, because Luka did most of his talking with his eyes. You know what I’m asking. He’d say. You feel trapped, don’t you? He was the only person who noticed, the only one with the experience to understand.  

shout out to the fan theory about alix and luka because they haven't left my mind in weeks...

Fog is not abandoned guys i swear🙈

[certifiedducky]

Reveal yourselves.

Marinette lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Her eyes burned, her mind was cloudy. 

I am Plagg, the Kwami of Destruction. I am everything that is and no longer will be

Her hands hurt, cuticles bleeding from picking at them. 

I am Tikki, the Kwami of Creation. I am everything that isn’t yet and is yet to be.

She tried closing her eyes. Blackened, rotting flesh. She opened her eyes.

I am Gimmi, the Kwami of Reality. I am everything that was, is, and will be. 

She left her bleeding nails alone, opting instead to twist the rose-gold ring around and around her finger. 

I just- I can’t live without her. 

Her body ached so badly, muscles stiff. Her heart was worn. She was exhausted from fighting and crying.

Marinette, make sure that Adrien never knows about the villain that I was. 

Tikki and Plagg both watched her with concern and pity. The rest of the kwamis were safely tucked in the drawer of her vanity. They knew. 

But instead, that he remembers the times I tried to be a good father.

Natalie was at the Agreste mansion. Kagami was in London with Felix. They knew. 

“Your… your father was…

She stopped spinning the ring and curled into the fetal position. Alya can’t know, she hates secrets.

…was…was a…

Nino can’t know, he hates Gabriel. And he would never lie to Adrien like that.

…a hero.

Chat. She could tell Chat. But… would he hate her? Did it matter?

Your father was a hero.

No. She couldn’t risk ruining Adrien’s life further.

I swear I tried everything.”

She tried closing her eyes again.

If being a "Marinette stan" means I can understand that Gabriel Agreste is the reason Marinette is lying to Adrien in the first place and that she would never have done that if Gabriel had not manipulated her and that Nathalie should be the one telling Adrien the truth and not the 15 year old child and that Marinette's lies are hurting Adrien and that is awful and a tragedy and OBVIOUSLY she shouldn't have lied but that Marinette is also a victim of Gabriel and that Marinette is doing everything she does out of her deep love for Adrien and not to intentionally hurt him and that Marinette is 15 and acting 15 and that sometimes main characters have to do bad things and make mistakes to have a story and that those mistakes don't make Marinette a bad person but a good person in a very very very bad position.........

Then I guess I'm a dirty filthy Marinette stan.
