Oki Doki!

We'll be working on the playlists! If you have any ideas for songs, send them our way :D

- Pages

In the Discord server, we decided it would be a good idea to make character playlists! The songs going on these playlists can be based on pure vibes, actual meaning to the character, or something we think they would listen to.

As a result of this, it's important to ask...

* I (Pages) will make artwork for the Spotify playlist images.

Chat Noire / Félix Blanc

Chat Noire is also here, now!

I decided to incorporate from the OG Chat Noir's outfit, since you can't fix what isn't broken. However, I tried to make it more in line with what Félix would think is "rebellious" (a.k.a., not father approved). It isn't much, but it'll evolve as he grows into his role as the Black Cat!

As a civilian, I honestly didn't change much. The only noticeable changes are the tie and the untucked shirt, which give him a bit more personality.

I’m planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

Under the cut is Félix with his natural hair color, instead of his dyed/bleached hair.

Here they are with their natural hair color! I don't think the red goes well with Chat Noire's green, as it stands out too much.

"In Palestine, to live, means to chose what to lose."

Palestinian Heroes AU

remember global day of action on january 11, 12 and 13.

[pagesof-miraculous-rewrite]

yes.

Thank you to the person who suggested this and pushed me down a hole of obsession. By the way both of their colors together make up the color of the flag how cool is that look.

The lady(bug) of the hour is here!

The OG outfit they gave her is way too bland, though I guess that could be read in a myriad of ways. I decided to give her outfit some personality, vaguely basing it off of martial arts uniforms. As she gets more comfortable with the miraculous, I imagine she would add more personal touches to it.

As a civilian, I decided to calm it down on the embroidery. I also decided to add more lighter colors to her palette, as it creates a contrast between her civilian-self and her hero-self.

I’m planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

Apologies for not having posted in a while! I've been working on redesigns and stuff about the rewrite!

I will make posts about the redesigns soon-ish! Updates about what's going on will be regularly posted!

I also updated the invite for the Discord server, which you can find in the pinned post. If anyone wants to be a mod, please dm my main (found in the pinned post).

Zain Hussein! This one took me a while, since I had a lot of color palettes for them! There's a pink version of their outfit under the cut.

Note: I didn't know how to put that Zain was Egyptian, Iraqi, and Irish. The only compromise I could find was saying they were Arab and Irish. Someone please correct me if there's a better way.

I'm planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Zain Hussein, an Arab-Irish person. They are wearing a hijab, have black eyes, and brown skin. Zain has freckles on their skin. Their hijab is a grey-blue color, with a black hijab cap underneath. They are wearing a blue sweater tucked into light navy blue pants. Zain is also wearing black, fingerless gloves.

At the top of the drawing, "Zain Hussein" is written in blue. Below that, the following text is also in blue: "D O B: 7/12", "16 years old", "nearly 17!". There is an arrow pointing to "16 years old" coming from "nearly 17!". There is also a genderfluid flag. All of the text has a dotted pattern. End description.]

I have a lot of other palettes, but this one was cute!

okay so i was reading this post: angela-s-school-survival.webnode.com/l/the-problem-with-being-gifted/

and i feel like marinette is a gifted kid? like she kinda has that vibe. We know that she does really well on tests all the time, and she presumably does a lot for the school. I think shes in the art club and shes at least a student rep, which takes a lot of work.

She feels like she has to be perfect and be there for everybody, and being ladybug certainly doesnt help that. the post i linked talked about having to prove that youre gifted, and i think mari more struggles with proving that shes capable? like that she can do what she does and be perfect all the time and not break a sweat.

she breaks down when luka asks her if shes okay, and then immediately thereafter takes on the role of guardian. this could be because of inconsistent characterization - and it probably is - but i also would like for it to be that she felt like she has to. (this also relates to my thoughts on lila)

all in all, i think she was probably a gifted kid. i relate to her, and a lot of the things on the gifted kid tag on this site are extremely similar to both what i went through and what seems to be happening with her.

This is a big redesign, since I wanted to draw Adrien with long hair. I had to look up "men with long hair" and Amity Blight in order to get the look right. Under the cut is Adrien with his natural hair color, instead of his dyed hair.

I'm planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Adrien Blanc, a white French person. He has dyed blond hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin. His hair is down up in a scissor waterfall braid combination; he has two braids on the side of his head that combine in a ponytail. The front of his hair shows his roots, which show his natural hair color; his natural hair color is auburn strawberry blond. He is wearing a black, collared shirt under a grey sweater. Adrien is also wearing a pair of navy blue pants.

At the top of the drawing, "Adrien B." is written in pink. Below that, the following text is also in pink: "16 3/4 years", "he/him", "Birthday: June 4th". There is also a nebularomantic flag with "nebula" written next to it in dark teal. All of the text is in cursive, minus "Birthday: June 4th", is in cursive. End description.]

This is just Adrien with his natural hair color.

Hello! I'm trying to write a series of POC-protagonist horror stories (think R.L. Stine) and I was wondering if it would be okay to ask a few questions? I read your post on how to write Muslim women/girls wearing hijabs and wanted to ask a few questions. You said Muslims greet one another with "Assalamu alaikum" ; do mothers greet their children like this "Assalamu alaikum, how did you sleep?" Like, fresh out of bed and dressed for the day, gathering for breakfast (if not during a fast)? (1/2?)

Hi! R.L. Stine writer again. I was wondering if it would be offensive to describe the process of a woman/girl styling her hair? Would it be considered inappropriate to Muslim readers? Is it okay to have a character braid her hair then pull it into a bun? Do you wear bobby pins to keep your hair back? Sorry for all of the questions, I just want to get this right. You mentioned that Muslim girls love pins, do they decorate their scarves with them? What about expressive buttons? (2/3)

Will Muslim women/girls wear something that covers a majority of skin? Like a sweater and a pair of pants? I haven’t looked this up yet but I will soon! Or would a Muslim woman wear a sweater with a skirt?

hey there anon.

yep, parents do greet their kids with assalaamu alaikum, it’s just like saying hi. siblings might not say it to each other just because kids prefer less formality but older family members will probably encourage them to use it, and children are expected to “give salaam” to elders. it’s like a courtesy thing.

i don’t think it would be offensive to describe a girl/woman styling their hair!! and lots of girls, especially ones with really long/thick hair, will put their hair in a braid and wrap it into a bun. i personally prefer just a braid because it’s more convenient and buns give me headaches (it is annoying when the last inch or so of my hair keeps peeking out under the hem of the scarf and i have to keep readjusting it but it’s okay lol). bobby pins are usually not necessary. i guess if you have bangs or something, you may have to pin them back so they don’t slip out of the scarf. 

(i don’t mind the questions haha I’m happy to answer and glad to help!!)

we do decorate our scarves with pins!! i have boxes and boxes of safety pins and pretty pins and brooches in all different sizes and colors and designs. it depends how you wrap your hijab but the way i do it usually requires about four pins (under the chin, one on either side of the head, one on top of the head, maybe a few at the shoulders to hold it in place). if the fabric is slippery (like silk), we may have to keep running off to the bathroom or something to undo and repin. it takes about five minutes usually. we do have “bad hijab days” when it takes longer or it just doesn’t look right no matter how we style it (and there are many many ways to style it!! look at a few examples). if the style is kind of complicated we might pull a female friend in there to help out. i’ve never used buttons myself but i’m sure some people would love it!!

we do cover the majority of our skin and hijab-congruent clothing is preferably not form-fitting or see-through. my friends and i joke about “halal versions” of dresses and things because like we won’t wear sleeveless clothes in public so we’ll have sleeves tailored on, or we’ll pull from our stock of cardigans and sweaters and light jackets. same goes for strapless/backless/etc.

for example, the dress i wore for eighth grade formal was floor-length which was great for me. i wore leggings underneath in case i had to hitch up my skirt (i did) and i didn’t want my legs flashing. but the dress was strapless with a sweetheart neckline which meant leaving the arms, shoulders, back, and some cleavage exposed. we fixed that by having a small jacket tailored to cover the back and shoulders, and my hijab was styled in a way that came low enough to cover my chest. problem solved. 

i have a scarf section in my closet that’s just…. dozens of scarves hanging, ready to get pinned up. the top drawer of my dresser is full of boxes of pins and brooches and i go sifting through them whenever i need to pin stuff up. sometimes when i come home i’m too lazy to put away the pins and by morning i forget where i out them so they get lost and turn up randomly. tbh on an everyday basis, I’m usually too lazy to wrap up a scarf if it isn’t for a special occasion so i have lots of ready-to-go, pull-on hijabs as well and i can just slip those on as I’m running out the door

This wasn't really a redesign, but I thought it would be good to redraw Félix. I also gave him a tie, and changed his name by adding an accent mark! Under the cut is Félix with his natural hair color, instead of his dyed hair.

I'm planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Félix Blanc, a white French person. He has dyed blond hair, heterochromatic eyes, and pale skin. The top half of their eyes are green, while the bottom half of their eyes are blue. Félix is visibly flustered by something. He is wearing a white, collared shirt under a grey sweater. He is also wearing a blue tie, tucked underneath the sweater. Félix is also wearing a pair of black pants.

In the top left of the drawing is "Félix" written in black. Below that, the following text is also in black: "he + they", "XVI years", "gemini"; before "gemini" is the zodiac sign for Gemini. There is also a non-binary flag. There are two arrows pointing to the "they" in "he + they". In the top right corner is a simplified drawing of a black cat with a pink nose and two differently colored eyes. The left eye of the cat is green, while the right eye is blue. Below the drawing is text in pink that says, "Poor Fé..." with an apologetic face doodled under it. The pink text is signed by "A.B.". All of the text, minus the pink text, is in cursive. The cursive has its i's dotted with hearts. End description.]

This is just Fé with their natural hair color.

This redesign was just me wanting to draw Jimena with xer hat. I also simplifying the outfit a bit, since constantly drawing plaid wouldn't have helped me.

I'm planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Jimena "Ena" del Rosario, a Filipino-French person. Xe has dark brown hair, black eyes, and medium brown skin. Xer hair is styled into a ponytail. Ena has three noticeable beauty marks: one under xer left eye, another on xer left hand, and one on xer right arm. Jimena is wearing a light red shirt under an orange long-sleeved, collared shirt. The shirt is open, showing the light red shirt underneath. Xe is also wearing a pair of denim pants. On top of xer head is an orange baseball hat, with the visor of the hat being a lighter orange than the crown.

In the top left of the drawing is "Ena" written in dark blue. Below that, the following text is also in dark blue: "Xe/Xer", "17 Years", "Sagi."; "Sagi." is short for "Sagittarius". Below "Sagi." is the zodiac sign for Sagittarius. There is also a pansexual flag, with "Pan" written under it. In the top right corner is a drawing of an orange fox facing forward with its eyes closed. All of the text, and the fox drawing, are pixelated. End description.]

I redesigned Marianne! Instead of having her wear a jacket, Mari now has overalls!

I'm planning on redesigning the other characters, so please suggest anything!

[Image description: It's a drawing of Marianne "Mari" Panettriere-Cheng, a Chinese-French girl. She has dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and light beige skin. Her skin has a small amount of acne. Marianne is wearing a light pink shirt under a pair of denim overalls. The overalls have various designs stitched into them, including a butterfly and several flowers. On the front pocket of the overalls is the letter M. She is also wearing a set of dark pink earrings and a pink hair clip.

In the top left of the drawing is "Mari" written in dark blue. Below that, the following text is written in pink: "She/Her", "17 years old", "Leo". After "Leo" is its zodiac symbol. There is also a bi flag, with "Biro." written under it; "Biro." is short for "Biromantic". All of the i's are dotted with a four-leaf clover shape. In the top right corner is a red circle with five black dots in it, resembling a ladybug. End description.]
