Thank you for expressing your condolences and for remembering Mae. She was truly loved by many, both online and in real life. I'm comforted by the fact that her works can still be enjoyed by new and old fans. ❤️

I still read every new comment and occasionally reread old ones from "Under Lock and Key", our collaborative illustrated fanfiction. It means so much to me that that story has brought joy to people, no matter how small.

Cherish your loved ones daily, let them know you appreciate them. You never know what life might bring ❤️

Wow, this is terrible news, and my heart clenches for this family. Rest In Peace @maerynn-blog . You will be dearly missed by all of the miraculous fandom. Although I never knew you personally, your works inspired me to become a better writer. You were ( and still are ) a wonderful inspiration, and you will be missed dearly. Also, I am terribly sorry for your loss @edendaphne . I know that Mae was very close to you, and I know you are hurting as well. My condolences go out to you, and I pray for comfort for your heart.

O M G, I just saw this and I’m SCREAMINGGG, it’s so adorable!!!

It’s so lovely to see fanart of “Under Lock and Key” even after all these years, thank you so much for sharing!!! They’re sooooo cute!!! ❤️

late little thing for @edendaphne and her work Under Lock and Key :O

[edendaphne]

Omg you are 100% correct, I certainly was not expecting to see any fan art of my old scorpion akuma Marinette design today!! All these akuma-nettes are so cool, it’s awesome to see them all in one place! 😍

I just remembered a project I worked on for a while in like 2021 (maybe 2020) and it had a LOT of akumatized marinette's

That was the idea behind the whole thing but man I did one by one and found some of the most obscure akumatized marinette au's

Sooooo I'm dragging these drawings up from the ashes and maybe it'll be a nice surprise for some of y'all to see

yall got ✨fanart✨

and possibly reminded of miraculous ladybug HA

usually these were done on different canvas's (that were like 250x250) and then just... copied onto a larger canvas??? Mistakes were made and I was insane

A handful of these akumanette's were actually made by me cause apparently... roughly 18 other marinette's wasn't enough

Click for quality and this is a long post

First of all, shoutouts to my own akuma abominations creations.

First image, the ladybug with the red long hair? yeah the idea was the akuma bug seen in canon in like, s2 (also shown next to her) but updated for the new look in s4. Vry original we'll give it a 6/10

I don't remember too much for the middle one that is slightly dimmer. Though I do remember that was the kind of IDEA behind her. She's also holding a knife cause of course. Why have magical powers to kill people when you can harness the power of K N I F E 7/10

I remember a little more about the jester marinette in the back. She had a whole thing with medieval research, jester research, and she also wanted to stab Lila cause everyone wanted to stab lila at the time. 9/10 cause I had a fun time with her

Then the robinhood poster mari was a robin hood akuma mari. 3/10 not original

NEXT

Slightly canon to downright canon

Ladyblanc was a popular akumanette idea so slightly canon, I didn't base it off of anyone's au

Ladybug and Marinette are there because what's the fun of a crossover if the og doesn't get to panic along with the rest of them????

Last image, not talking about persecuter, we'll get to her in a bit. I just thought it would be funny at the time if I included Chloe and Antibug cause... haha

Antibug is kinda an akumatized lb rip off soooo

OTHER'S AU'S

what you've been waiting for

Thank god I kept track of credit (pats past me on the back)

First of all, at the very front we got @zoe-oneesama 's devil au that made an updated appearance in her scarlet lady au, love to see it

You'll also notice little devil bug on lb's knee in the sketch

Alopeka is to the left of Devil au, by @piearsonist

hi betcha you never would have guessed you got FANARTED HA

This is a post that explains that akumatized marinette, and you'll find more if you go to her page

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

Princess justice at the right by @kibouwmlb (also, hello hi, surprise) and honestly it is SUCH a pretty design OMYWORD I love the watercolors

Twiddling her thumbs, minding her business. Remember the release of Descendants 3? Yeah, Queen of Mean baby. And MORE by @shiinaeu hi you are a legend to me

This was so fun to draw at the time and I was experimenting in ways I hadn't before. Peak youtube miraculous ladybug fixation meeting art interest. First one of the characters I did fun fact

@edendaphne betcha you didn't expect fanart of that one scorpion akumanette well THINK AGAIN (also, crazy that this was around when I did your dtiys I just realized, huh)

ANd then slightly more obscure, though the post does have 173 ish notes so, is @skullqueensart 's akumanette right here

Why does akumanette have sunken cheeks here? I have no clue honestly. Take it up with me from 3 years ago and maybe you'll get answers who knows. She's also just... chilling. Looking at nothing. Into the abyss.

Not now chloe's, we are discussing persecutor now.

Love the story idea honestly and the akuma design is so god tier AKUMA that oof @yiprincessart I love it

Oh uh, and chloe will be fine

:)

CAN👏I👏 TALK👏 ABOUT👏 HER

She is the moment, she is beauty, she is grace

@artist-from-outersp-ace I love her. She looks so SO pretty!! At the time I loved your artstyle and I still do!! Too bad at the time I didn't know that Tumblr works by reblogging. I will be amending that.

I also remember being SO frustrated when drawing her that I didn't get a timelapse saved in time to show the drawing process :(

But I did love figuring out folds in the dress and the coloring process! Figuring out how to replicate elements in your art!

srs guys. Look at the RUFFLES

Alright, we are all agreeing to be accomplices and bystanders to Akuma jester marinette's NOT MURDER murder of Lila in the background? Okay good.

@lunian I have fanart for you~

And when I tell you I struggled with her design, I STRUGGLED. I ended up satisfied in the end but the curls bro, we lost the curls

But I do love her concepts and powers and I did back then too

And next to her, Okay, I never fully finished, mostly because I couldn't figure out how to get the hand to work with the tray balance thingie

@ladybub made this Lady Justice design and I WILL BE THERE when the comic updates. Or... if they aren't able to continue the comic that's also fine too <3 Life happens

Still love this au and the unique way for Marinette to get akumatized! Me and my sister bonded over our love over it!

I think this might be the first akumanette that isn't on tumblr to my knowledge. They are on Instagram tho @stivenwithani

Anyway I really liked the concept and the design just, reeked, of akuma that I included her

Okay more that I didn't really finish

We got another Princess/Lady Justice akuma idea at the left. Which I never kept track of the credit DANG IT I WAS DOING SO WELL

I'll update if I find the credit but man the OG did really well with the art.

And I have this akumanette comforting Lacrima from... a very graphic and whump fanfic Longest Night, read the tags

Anyway, Lacrima needs all the love she can get (also, funny enough, is the oldest out of this "gathering" of akumanette's)

It's not finished but hey @p-artsypants I gave angst ridden Lady Lacrima friends and fanart so.... yay...

AND THEN THE LAST ONE

was victim to so much reposting I could never find credit for it- UNTIL NOW

but the artist unfortunately deactivated their blog so that explains why I couldn't find their username all that time ago

It was a cool idea and I always love when creators take inspiration from how similar Marinette's name is to another word for a kind of puppet "Marionette"

But before I forget, I'll end this post on one of my akumanette's that I tried to squeeze in but never got to. But I did make more art for and I remember the story!

I remember having a background planned but I never really got around to it. Basically the story was that marinette got akumatized but managed to take off her earrings in time. I think the reason for her akumatization was connected to figuring out the secrets that Emilie had been hiding with the peacock miraculous (BEFORE we knew that adrien was a sentimonster).

Tikki had to bring the earrings to Chat Noir and he had to find someone that looked ENOUGH like Ladybug that Hawkmoth wouldn't notice as much that Ladybug wasn't actually there. Enter Mireille cause at the time a few people were pointing out how similar she looked to the dupain chengs.

Akumanette's powers had something to do with casting depression? I think? In the form of dragons? Oh, Also she travels by walking on the dragons so thats cool

I don't remember everything but I did have a lot planned for her.

10/10 just because I had a fun time with her

[edendaphne]

That’s really sweet, thank you!!! ❤️

It’s @edendaphne ‘s birthday today!

Happy birthday, hope you have a fantastic day!

Jill wishes you a great Valentine's Day!

I’ve been mutuals with Moon for years, so I know this is legit and not a scam. (PSA: Always be careful and informed when donating to a cause!)

Anyway, signal boosting for her poor sick kitty ❤️

Help me help Mia

So as I explained a few weeks ago, we had to take Mia to the ER because she had a cold and was not doing well at all. While there, they did some X-Rays of her chest and found what the ER vet and a radiologist believed to be metastasized cancer in her lungs. Her prognosis was a few months at best.

Well, I have some….potentially good news. After a visit to her primary vet on 12/26, her cancer diagnosis is In Question because according to her lab results, she’s fine. According to a physical exam, she’s fine (albeit underweight and her thyroid is misbehaving but that’s old news). So, we’ve been referred to a feline oncologist not far from here. I have to know, y’know?

Mia has health insurance which will take a lot of the burden away BUT not all of it. Her ER visit alone cost nearly $1400USD. Her primary vet appointment cost about $128 for the thyroid bloodwork which isnt covered by her health insurance (pre-existing condition) And who the hell KNOWS what the oncologist is gonna cost. :’3

If you want to donate, you can do so through Paypal or Ko-fi and trust me—every little bit helps.

I’ll put the rest of this under a read more but if you’re interested, it’s the receipt for her ER visit with a name and CC# hidden for obvious reasons as well as some additional transparency info.

Thank you.

Keep reading

(Oops, I forgot to post this on Tumblr) 😅

2022 was a tough year for me in my personal life. I didn’t draw much compared to other years. I honestly thought some of these spaces would be blank when I started filling it out. But I found that I was still able to draw something every month, which I am grateful for!

After some big life decisions and changes, plus a lot of love and support from family and friends, things are slowly improving and I currently feel happier and more hopeful than I have been in years. I’m super excited about what 2023 will bring!!

Thank you all for sticking by me 💕

[edendaphne]

So, a lot of ML has been leaked. Any thought on it?

To be honest, I’d only heard that there were major leaks because of one of my Discord servers. I’m pretty out of touch with the ML fandom at the moment because of IRL stuff (I’m currently job hunting and doing the single mom thing 💪), so I don’t have time to browse through any ML related news or anything.

Plus frankly I’ve mostly lost interest in the fandom because of all the drama and corporate politics I’ve seen throughout the years (I’ve been here since 2016), so if I were to see leaks I probably wouldn’t care, or I wouldn’t even necessarily know they’re spoilers because I haven’t seen the newest episodes. Mayyyybe I’ll become more active once IRL stuff settles down, we’ll see.

Don’t worry though, I still intend to finish my ongoing ML projects! (Specifically WDDM and Discordant Sonata)

[edendaphne]

I’ve started streaming to see if I enjoy it! Go follow me on Twitch! 😳👉👈

I’ve got the worst art block EVER, but I managed to sketch something for the first time in a month 😭

[edendaphne]

Hey, have you ever heard of or read The Belles, a series by Dhonielle Clayton, it's my comfort read, and I would be interested in your opinion. Sincerely, Anon

I'd never heard of it, but I looked it up and the concept sounds interesting! I'll have to add it to my "To-Read" list, thanks for the recommendation!

[edendaphne]

Sorry I missed your entry til just now!! It brings me so much joy to see people still drawing their own adaptation of this picture!

Your version turned out lovely! I especially like the way you did the texture of his hair! Thank you for participating!!! 💖

My attempt at @edendaphne dtiys

[edendaphne]

OMG, it was such a nice surprise to see a new entry to this DTIYS!! It turned out adorable, thank you for sharing!!! 🤩

@edendaphne Here’s my contribution to your DTIYS! It’s my first time participating in one and was a lot of fun 😁

[edendaphne]

Dire’s art is sooooo beautiful 😭❤️

After a mishap at the printer I finally got the prints I ordered. Some of these are just for @edendaphne, see the fanart for her series ‘Discordant Sonata’? The rest are actually in preparation for my patron send outs next year. My goal is to have all the art done before the year end. At this point all the prints are done, and I have 20 sticker designs completed.

I still have about 20 sticker designs to finish, but more than half are flatted so I just need to render and arrange the files. (I’m doing a Huntlow set and an Eda/Hooty/King set.)

I also have a back up set of stickers but I wanted to save them for 2024
