So apparently TA did yet another interview regarding miraculous and outside of lying through his teeth regarding chloe(again) There's some stuff I think you might want to take a look at.

https://www.reddit.com/r/miraculousladybug/comments/1dy1l98/the_interview_of_thomas_astruc_and_s%C3%A9bastien/

.....

"Lila is the most difficult to write" yeah she REALLY doesn't have to be just make her fucking normal instead of creating hoops to jump through

'we already saw why lila is like this' unless this is 'because she's a 14 year old girl and therefore evil' there's been little that explains Lila. there /was/ originally back when it seems like she was just neglected and attention starved, but they turned her into some mastermind con artist so one of her marks being too busy to parent her is somehting she'd love.

I'm not even going to touch that 'we gave her the oppurtunity but it didn't make sense for her character' and 'a /real/ person would never turn good' bullshit.

..... they redeemed him. Because they wanted. To show a backstory. You can show a backstory without giving that fucker a 'oh actually /he's/ the victim here!!' bullshit ass redemption

At this point I really don't care why they didn't do the 2d

the darker tone of the PV was on the animators not TA and team? So one of the most intriguing aspects were literally just some guys going off on their own rather than intentional????

Simpleman being their favorite but either heavily disliked or straight up forgotten by the fans is.... telling.

Yet another on the list of 'based off someone TA knows!'. You'd think he'd stop confirming this after people went 'hey you base characters off irl people and you have an intense hatred of this character, are you venting something with her?'.

I call bullshit there's no way any of them would design themselves to look like that

At least we get a song!

On one hand, I want Akumanette and I def think enough things have shifted since TA's original 'no she would never be akumatized because then things are fucked' tweet to allow for that to happen. Namely Mr. Bug and Scarabella providing the groundwork of someone who could be Ladybug in her place. But I do not look forward to TA being fucking insufferable when people bring up the tweet and all 'you're looking too much into it' or 'clearly it was a deception'.

I know we're greenlit to season 8 already but GOD stop milking this dead horse

Ya know what fair enough gay as hell

On one hand I want more solid info on the alternate universe and The Supreme. But on the other hand the lore got so contradictory the more you look into it.

Nathalie's history is one of the few interesting points I'm actually kinda really hoping for.

my motherfucker in arceus Adrien is very much written as the secondary protagonist, we've had plenty focus on him and his pov. Just because y'all tried to make him the sexy lamp and shafted him last second in the finale and keep him from knowing jack all doesn't change that at this point it just becomes bad writing after multiple seasons of his importance

I am spooked by the idea of a live action.

Rip to Chloé continuing to get dunked on in season 6

Rewrite Ideas for Lila Rossi

I know there’s been a lot of criticism about Lila’s lies and how Marinette’s friends and other people trust Lila’s word over hers, especially Alya her best friend and journalist. What if Lila wasn’t just more careful with her lies(telling more believable lies with fake proof or atleast have benefit of the doubt, more cautious about threats and frame ups), but instead of telling negative lies about someone people should know better about, she instead uses already known truths against them. Does still manipulate certain things but also make those are unto her or see as a threat, dig their own graves, expose their own issues.  Ex, Like how Lila made Aya think the issue was just Marinette having a crush on Adrien and being jealous.

I think it would’ve worked more if Lila actually played into this more. Not just using Marinette’s crush on Adrien but her and the other’s biggest flaws(overthinking things, insecurity, digging herself deeper into her problems, etc) Using their issues and past mistakes to manipulate things in her benefit or atleast make people consider past issues that would make people have to also consider.

Marinette if she decided to just come out and say why she doesn’t trust Lila when she comes back as a new classmate, similar to when she talked to Alya and Nino.

Lila-I really dont get where all this skepticism’s coming from. I was only here one day and I don’t think we even got to meet, let alone talk, so how could you know anything I did-

Marinette-BECAUSE I FOLLOWED YOU!

Class-What!?

Lila-I’m sorry, what?😈

Marinette-I said I…oh boy. Realizes how bad that sounds and can’t really tell them the stuff she’d have to known as Ladybug.

Adrien-Wait I don’t get it, why follow us?

Class knowing Marinette’s huge crush on Adrien and the crazy things she has done involving him-…nervous coughs.

Ayla who also knows this and who Marinette told she was gonna follow them-Oh boy.

Later

Ayla-Listen Lila I’m really sorry, I should’ve stopped her. Are you gonna bring this up with the teachers?

Lila- Hey, don’t worry about it. I mean you’re her friend, not her mom, it’s not your responsibility to watch what she’s up to. I’m just happy this was simply because she likes Adrien and not because she really thinks I’m some “evil manipulative mastermind”, this doesn’t feel like anything I need to involve a teacher with, not like anyone got really hurt. I’ll be honest I have a problem sometimes being fully honest, I may exaggerate or tell a few white lies just simply to fit in, I’m not trying to hurt anyone. But seriously, we've only hung out like only a few times, he really is just a friend to me at this point. I’m sorry for all the trouble.

Alya- Don’t worry about it, honestly this isn’t really ur fault.

Lila-Well thanks and seriously, this isn’t really your fault either. Alya- Thank you. Still, maybe I should’ve been more concerned.

Lila- I mean these things happen, We’re teens, sometimes we might let our hormones get the better of us but I doubt this stuff happen all the time, she seems like a good person. Besides if she did do something that really crossed the line, as her best friend, I’m sure you def would call her out or atleast make it clear u don’t support it, right?

Ayla-…

Lila-Do you think I should talk to Marinette?

Alya- No, no don’t worry about that. Maybe I should though.

Lila-Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. she’d probably listen better to a friend anyway 😈

and doesn’t just do this kinda stuff with Marinette but can pit the whole class against eachother If she plays the cards right, full on Mean Girls Watch The World Burn🔥🔥🔥. All while, looking completely inconspicuous and whatever she could’ve done would be seen as simply indirect or unintentional and certainly no way she could’ve known it would lead to such an outcome…right?

Lila-As such a great designer Marinette, I’d figure you’d understand that rather try to make something completely new, better to make the best out of the materials you already have! And there is just so much to work with, especially with you😈

And rather Marinette not trying to expose her because of Adrien's advice but rather her own self doubt. “What if I really am just jealous and overthinking this whole thing”, “I technically was in the wrong first for following them, granted I had to for the book but I didn’t know that at first”, “what if I make things worse and Alya…won’t be my friend anymore”…”she’s probably right, maybe Lila’s just harmless and it really is all in my head”…”maybe it is just me”.

I just like antagonists who make the protagonists consider their own moral character and actions, if they’re really as good as they think they are. Even if they’re manipulative liars who are trying to be dishonest, there’s always that certain part of what they say that can’t be fully brushed off as entirely wrong, sometimes even being the ones to call out the protagonists’s less moral actions and mistakes.  And I think Lila could’ve really had that sort of potential with Marinette. For better or for worse, her impact could make Marinette reflect on herself.

Lila-You’re the type of person who sees themselves as the hero in their own story and that everything you do is right, but truth is you can just as easily be the villain! You think my lies are bad? Half of what I say is just calling you out on your own mistakes. You just can’t handle the TRUTH!😈

what do u think? How’d u wanna rewrite Lila? I’d love to know💖

Double double toil and trouble

Hi so Gloob decided that after leaking the entire season 5 finale of miraculous (which for the sake of those that don’t wish to be spoiled I will not discuss until is actually released) they needed to release some more episodes out of balance, so today we shall review episode 19 and 20 of Miraculous Ladybug season 5! Pretension and Revelation!

19: Pretension

So. Felix is still the only nice thing here, but we have to shove a live interest in the mix because it’s not like this show can have the concept of friendship!

So episode starts , marinette complains about not being public with Adrien (which ok whatever), and the show literally pokes fun at how Marinette used to stalk Adrien but then says it’s ok be it was “OuT Of LOvE” (I’m not even go comment at this point) and that they need to go confront Gabriel to clear up the misunderstanding that marinette is def not a crazy stalker (Yknow, after she broke into a private event of his an episode ago. Great.)

Gabriel disapproved and has a weird pancake monologue which is meant to be a metaphor of how Gabriel controls everything and everyone through fashion? And Marinette is like “no fashion is about giving people what their heart’s desire” or something, and then says Gabriel can’t cook for shit (which admittedly funny) as a way of saying his old-minded and stupid.

So I’m general I don’t know who to quote side with? Gabriel is not wrong that the main reason marinette loves Adrien is because he’s a famous star that she’s been stalking for years, but the show frames it in a way that’s less “yeah you stalked him” and more “yeah I just like controlling him and you’re annoying” to make marinette seem like a hero.

In general the entire conversation was really weird, and the metaphor of pancakes was weird, but I did actually like the moral debate of what fashion and style is? I’m a personal believer of fashion being a tool of self expression, and something from inside you, but then how much of what’s inside you is just originally you and what is as a result of your life and how you were raised?

My point is go watch Meryl Streep’s blue sweater monologue, it’s a lot more fun.

Anyways Felix and Kagami are healthier then the love square (shocker) the show should stop poking fun at how bad stalking is and then endorse it, the show is trying to make other parents look worse then Gabriel to redeem him and I’m mad, and thats all there really is to this episode. NEXT!

20: Revelation

Oh boy a Lila episode let’s go. SO FUCKING SOMEHOW LILA MANAGED TO LIE TO HER TWO MOMS ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER FUCKING PARENT?! I’ve already come across this information when all the leaks for season 5 were happening, but the fact absolutely fucking boggles me?! Like this show is so hellbent on making Lila a bad person (worse then an actual terrorist that has been abusing his song for years) that they just do the most unrealistic shit to ever exist just to make her “an evil liar OoOoOo”

Which speaking of before the show tries to tell you Lila was manipulative for lying about being fired in her art class, I would have done the exact fucking same in her shoes. If someone without telling you, fires you (which I believe is btw ILLEGAL) and you were in a public setting, what the hell are you supposed to do? Start crying and telling everyone how you got fired? No, you would quickly try to resolve the situation and then go demand answers! I understand Lila’s anger in Gabriel (tho the show tries to say it’s unreasonable because of Lila’s and Gabriel’s deal, but the show just thinks she’s evil so yknow)

Anyways, Marinette starts saying how awful Chloe is and being like “I’m standing for Justice” and whatnot, and Lila (because she has a deal with Chloe) is like “it’s ok marinette you’re busy with your love life, if you don’t believe in people getting second chances then maybe I should be class president” which tbh? I literally do not see as evil!

Like first of all what does the class representative even do in this show? At the time it was just an episode to show Marinette’s leadership skills, and the most they do is like pass some papers and go talk to students, so it’s not like Lila can do real damage by being a class representative for two weeks (tho I’m sure the show will pull something unrealistic as hell to claim otherwise)

Second of all, Marinette morally is awful? Like this entire episode’s message is legit fucking awful! Lila’s argument for being class rep is saying that she will promote more second chances and opportunities for students, meanwhile Marinette’s argument is “Chloe is awful bad people don’t deserve second chances, PERIOD.”

…I’m sorry bestie but I’m fucking voting for the one that wants to actually do something

And the show obvs tries to write it off like “no it’s a ploy to make Marinette’s life suck” which is something they already did season 3, but I just don’t know if I fully agree with this mindset

Of course, bad people exist and in real life they often don’t change and use the kindness extended towards them, so it’s important to stand your ground, but like the show is trying to tell us that two 14 year old girls are an irredeemable type of evil that will never change! I personally think that some people are incapable of redemption but more that some people don’t want to redeem themselves, so to speak, but it just feels like the show lacked nuance this episode.

I feel like if this episode was used to a more concrete example (say Gabriel, an abusive dad and a terrorist) to explain how sometimes people don’t change rather then use this as an opportunity to tell us how evil Lila and Chloe are, the message would have been more compelling

You can tell the show clearly used this episode as a means of commenting on “Chameleon” and episode that caused many people to hate Adrien for telling marinette to wait and not keep screaming at Lila and digging her own grave, saying he was endorsing abuse? So the show was like “yeah guys look Adrien was in the wrong and apologized, Marinette’s the best and forgives him, have love square”

Again, it’s just another Lila episode which makes marinette a martyr, Adrien a powerless princess that isn’t listened to, Lila way more evil then she actually is on paper to make marinette look good, and everyone stupid in comparison

(Also y’all stop the hate on Alya and Nino, Alya is fucking right, Marinette only ever been a dick to Lila because of Adrien and is digging her own grave with the girl)

(Also also half the time marinette is worse then them, lying and hurting others to get what she wants, she just got Adrien now so she doesn’t commit as many crimes, tho she did break into a private event for idiotic reasons, and also the show likes her so they keep justifying her)

Anyways, didn’t like the episode, Lila episodes are awful, Marinette’s morality is a bit skewed and hypocritical, Hoaxer is just red Volpina on the iPhone rings, but at least she was smart

i am finally watching the miraculous movie !! ive heard a lot from tumblr and my friends so its about time i actually watch it LOL (also watching this w my mom bc she was watching the quiet place, said she wasnt ready for it then was like ‘lets watch that movie version of miraculous’ LMAO)

[izzyizumi]

UM EXCUSE ME @gossipchii ( THANK YOU FOR THE IMAGE )

THAT SYMBOL’S A LADYBUG ?!??????

[moonchildstyles]

i can picture aster and angel having a shopping day, and bc it’s getting to be spooky season, they go to the pet costumes and they come across maybe a ladybug cat costume for evie and h would be like “its perfect! my two love bugs” i feel like she would completely melt from that🥲 i don’t know if where they live has a lot of kids but maybe she gets excited when someone with a cute costume comes to the door and she’s all like h!!!!!!! look!!!!!! and she picks up evie to hand out the candy w h. I think she might dress up as a ladybug as well bc then h could help her with the makeup and it’s all just so hdjjsjsjsjsn you know??

Here’s the costume inspo🥲

SIFHSIFHSIJ OMG STOP IT SHUFHSUFHSUHF I LOVE THAT JSIFHSU3HFSUH but yeah yeah I can def see them getting a little costume for evie and ofc hearing his comment about his two love bugs that totally decides for y/n she'll be a little ladybug for Halloween w evie w her little wings and a skirt w all the spots and h jokes like " I think this is the most black ive ever seen you wear when its not my clothes" and its just sweet:(((( all the little family pics they take together all dressed up:( maybe she convinced h to be a bumble bee or something to stay on theme:(

[boom-fanfic-a-latta]

What are some of the episodes that would go very differently (or just not happen) in PiP? Aside from ones that are prevented due to Chloé and Lila getting character development, of course.

Sorry this took so long I may have needed to make a list of every single episode of miraculous and go through each individually and even then there’s probably stuff I’m missing

Darkblade: I mean I’ve already rewritten this one into Raz’s debut guys

Timebreaker: Heavily Changed (I’m overhauling the Rabbit Miraculous and it’s plotline, this is where it starts)

Dark Cupid: Nixed or Heavily Changed (there’s an explanation for this, I swear, it involves the new version of Timebreaker)

Puppeteer: Somewhat Heavily Altered (long story short the snakes plus the presence of a third maybe fourth hero)

Antibug: Split into two parts, Vanisher and then Antibug, so gets an expansion because of that

Volpina: Oh chaos are there changes (the whole “something is UP with Lila” starts here after all, and it’s not Mari who ends up with the book and going to the guardian at the end but Raz, ending on a cliffhanger shot that doesn’t get followed up for a while)

The Collector: Changed? (Not sure but since Raz is the one who ended up with the book and he isn’t quite sure where it first came from but idk need help with this one)

Prime Queen: Raz is there and calls things out as a voice of reason and makes Chat realize a few things, the akuma still happens but things go differently (Chat thinking about what got said and starting to realize he might def be overdoing things)

Glaciator: See above where Chst starts a character arc

Frozer: SEE ABOVE

Despair Bear: The party is def a more genuine move from Chloé (I know you said no character arc episodes for Chloé on the list but this one is early enough I had too)

Syren: Leads into Aquanaut guys come on

Zombizou: Look there’s a lot more Chloe effected episodes than you’d think there’s not much I can do to avoid them

Also Lila is still there during season 2 guys so yeah that’s a change

Sapotis: Raz is the one selecting heroes so yeah surprised ladybug meme

Anansi: See above

Style Queen: …I’ve mentioned this one. Also Chloé gets specifically chosen for the bee.

Queen Wasp: And our first nixed episode, guys!

Malidictator: Chloé development changes definitely (for one her identity isn’t public for another imagine the interview being with Goggalor)

Sandboy: three words: meat circus agustus

Hero’s Day: def some changes idk what yet

Chameleon: replaced by Marinette’s Studio

Animaestro: Nixed cause Thomas doesn’t work on the show in this universe

Bakerix: …

Reflekdoll: Would be set up somewhat differently

Oni-Chan: Nixed

Miraculer: replaced by currently unnamed Sabrina akuma

Oblivio: Well for one there’s three of them

Desperada: Aspik gets skipped

Startrain: First time LB and Chat get to see Goggalor give a miraculous maybe?

KwamiBuster: Might have to nix or at least HEAVILY change

Feast: Okay but imagine if Ford showed up

Gamer 2.0: Either Raz is available and thus prevents it or there’s a PSC meeting and things proceed as canon

Stormy Weather 2: nixed

Timetagger/Chat Blank: nixed (sorry guys no time travel)

Felix: I can see Raz being able to tell that video isn’t Adrien

Ladybug: nixed because Lila Redemption

Battle of the Miraculous: boy are there changes

Mr Pigeon 72: I hate the magical charms guys also Mari’s not the guardian Raz is

Furious Fu: Su Han gets schooled by a 10 year old more at 11

Sole Crusher: MAN is this gonna be different

Queen Banana: NIXED

optigami: idk guys

Sentibubbler: THSTS NOT HOW SENTIMONSTERS SHOULD WORK GUYS WHAT THE HECK

Glaciator 2: Chat has had development so no

Hack-San: Chat can tell it’s Alya he trusts her

Rocketear: Okay I can actually see this happening but for a whole different reason though it’s still Nino thinking Chat noir is stealing his girl also Nino learns Adrien is chat

Wishmaker: Not a change but like imagine Raz getting hit and just changing to be in his game outfit cause like his dream is to be a Psychonaut

Simpleman: Caretaker already ford a better version of this guys can we just nix it

Ephemeral: …no. Just no.

We don’t know the rest of season 4 but I know the finale will def have changes

Kuro Neko will probably be nixed

Dearest Family, remove the megakuma and charms and it’s good I’d say but idk

Update: Penalteam is most likely gonna be nixed unless I figure out a different person to akumatize

[emsylcatac]

I feel like gloob likes clowning luka/nette stans as much as how mc stans clown themselves. I still remember them literally clowning luka in an ig post and now this. They intentionally put heart eyes on marinette and a “luka/nette?” caption on a gif version of that spoiler pic. They get kicks out of fans’ tears.

On another note, people really forgot about Mr. Pigeon 72 where Marinette accepted the fact that she’s still not over Adrien. So, no, they definitely will not get back together and that she’s not in love with him. Sorry to burst your bubbles ln stans, stay strong 🙌

Yeah I feel like Gloob just... likes getting attention? And they know shipping is quite a heavy topic in this fandom, especially with luka/nette vs adrinette. But here it's just sad because the """rival""" ships are over and have been since episodes 1 and 2, so doing this is just... I don't know, kind of mean and useless at this point?

Like obviously most people know it's obvious it's over but some are easily gullible and will believe whatever out of context post they see 😬

And yeah Marinette has never been over Adrien anyway even when she was with Luka (with how Truth went), like really luka/nette was only to show us that secrets affect relationships, it was never about Marinette and Luka as a ship. The season actually starts to show us that using them and with how the latest episodes went... It was really to announce the theme this season, look at what's happening with Ladybug & Chat Noir's partnership 😅

(also Luka hasn't been mentioned a single time after Truth & Gang of secrets so at this point idk how it's possible to still have hopes but well... if he comes back with a significant role, it will def be for an entire other reason than romance with Marinette)

“hey, okay.. so i bought a pregnancy pillow, and like, i wanna use it?”

felix has this smirk, holding the huge pillow that is supposed to be a maternity one, but he much prefers himself using it as a regular pillow

he actually goes public with this, knowing that the fans adored u after being his girlfriend for so long nd u soon became a favorite for them

some shit like ‘stays meet your new members’ 😣

this guy has a knack for painting, his newest canvas is your large baby bump, doodling little flowers n hearts or animals on it, sometimes painting characters on it or whatever it may be

u two have this rly cute vlive together which consists of him painting ur baby bump, plenty of fun while he asked stays to tell him what to draw on ur bump :v

“ooh!! a ladybug!!”

he posts the finished project in nice high quality on their official instagram, showing off the many things he had painted

the dreaded bed rest comes into play

u are now nearing seven months, which meant that u should be experiencing labor or maybe labor pains soon

he takes his paternal leave, now indulging in ice-cream and gummy bears with u, rather than working out and drinking nasty smoothies

guess who has that sympathy weight 

(jk he just uses it as an excuse so he can just give up on his diet)

sleep all day

sleep all night

u two are honestly so tired for WHATEVER reason

lix is there to be a cuddle bug, pulling ur back close to his body, ur legs entwined and his hand on top of ur own that was on ur bump

its rly cute just try and picture it for a moment

u guys r trying everything to hurry and get to the end of this seemingly forever pregnancy

he’ll def buy two yoga balls instead of just one for u and he’ll bounce on them with u

who cares ab trying to hurry up y’all are having so much fun regardless of the fact u have to pee every ten minutes

u both forget the thought of it and just go with the flow

making a deal to go with the names for whomever u claimed aka baby a or baby b

i see ur guys timing to be during the summer so its miserable in ur house

its hot n stuffy

u two r just lounging n u both have popsicles, then ur just like

“oh! oh.”

it was a steady gush of fluid between ur legs and that was when the nervousness set in

u two just look at each-other in shock

“oh! we’re having a baby- um.. wow!”

he is abnormally good at keeping calm, helping u keep ur breathing steady and getting everything together 

felix is a pro.

u guys r kinda chilling in the parking lot just quiet and sort of nervous that the next time ur walking out of there you both will have not one, but two babies

“i don’t know if i’m ready yet.”

felix groans, grabbing ur hand

“ur right, ur more than ready. look at us!! parents of two in at least the next twenty-four hours!!” 

his hands r around u in a second to help u up and there to help u walk in

u two honestly decide to play games on ur phone to kill time

felix crawls into ur bed, seeing as how u looked extremely lonely, letting his arms and legs wrap around u n he’s just playing with ur hair

its honestly adorable

u two are really tired for whatever reason, falling asleep like this before u would be consumed in the late nights of being parents

these nurses wake u both up and are just like

“let’s see if we’re ready to meet ur babies!!”

felix is kinda scared but nonetheless he’ll grab ur hand and hold onto it with a smile

10cm woo!

if he wasn’t hyping u up before he is hyping u up right now

ur somewhat laughing and crying while in pain

yall r so weird

felix is there to wipe ur face with the wet cloth, or to give u a sip of water, rly whatever u need he is on it

poor baby just wants to be of help

“here’s baby a! it’s a girl!”

u two have at least a moment with her, taking in her small appearance, felix holding her out for u to see

abruptly cut off by baby b needing to make an appearance

“i don’t wanna do this again.”

“it’s alright, shh. we’re going to have two babies, two perfect ones. we have one little girl, let’s get ready for the next one, yeah? our two babies, you’re doing so good.”

they take away ur little girl while felix does what he already did beforehand

“here’s your second one!! we have a pair of sisters!”

u and felix are so overjoyed at this news, literally sobbing, u two r a mess

both r brought over to u, felix taking in the fact he’s a father of two girls, such small girls

ur both smiley while u kiss them n cuddle them, getting the nurse to take a picture of u two

ur obviously tired, felix emotionally worn out but having the brightest smiles on ur faces while u hold onto ur pair of newborn girls

he’s so proud, he’s the definition of a proud father

lix is holding onto one and he comes over to you, the other one cooing

“that’s it, my three girls.”

A Miraculous DC Crossover

ALL RIGHT!!

I’ve been sucked into this unholy sub-fandom and I have thoughts okay? lots of them. Almost none are coherent and I don’t care. I have no plotline to write a fic but by the gods do I need to get out all my ideas.

Behold:

the Salttm

Lila, obviously. But she’s a petty nuisance at best, and an annoyingly competent akuma to fight at worst. manipulative, but not really dangerous ya feel?

Alya. which like, home girl probably doesn’t deserve but like,,, the drama??

CHLOE REDEMPTION YOU COWARDS

She and Marinette become surprisingly good friends (because I love that for both of them and you can pry it from me cold, dead hands)

Nettie-bug and Queenie

They pick on Adrien together

Mari’s friends Protection Squad That Don’t Take No Shit

Adrien

Chloe

NINO BITCH HE DESERVES MORE LOVE TBH

Alix?? Probably

Luka obvi

Felix (PV)?? Or does Marinette have enough emotionally constipated boys in her life?

(Answer: no. no she does not.)

Nath? He be a good fox tbh. creative and sneaky boi

Kagami!!! I love her

They’re all heroes because I say so.

Felix (Sparrow) is an honorary member even though he doesn’t have a miraculous

He handles PR and other background things along with Chloe

Joined up a few years back when Parisians were getting a bit too critical of the heroes

No Hawkmoth b/c fuck that guy

He existed, just not anymore. Bitch got yeeted

There’s other villains in town now. After Hawkmoth’s defeat other metas/supervillains looked at Paris and was just like, ‘free real estate?”

So now the Miraculous Team are Paris’ Actual Full-Time Hero TeamTM… yay.

Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Abielle (or like, Wasp/Yellow Jacket idk Chloe changes her name because ~identity stuff~) are the core three team. like, the wonder woman/batman/superman trio of the MTeam.

Nath is called Reynard Ambre b/c I love him

The public knows he exists but he’s never seen in battle and no pictures exist.

but there are plenty of instances where Paris knows he out mucking around because those akuma battles always get really weird.

Marinette be the guardian?

Guardian in training

Along with all the other holders b/c jesus. Give the girl a break.

Yeah. I like that Idea. All current holders are training to be guardians as well, but Mari’s going to step up as Guardian Supreme when Fu steps down.

Hero fashion!!!

The Miraculous Team is all decked out in their own merch like 24/7

Rarely is it thier own hero persona tho

Not because of like,,,, secrecy or anything. Just because they’re all nerds who love each other

Marinette is the lead producer of Miraculous Merchandise. It’s like,,, her BrandTM It was completely unintentional too

(Adrien and Chloe financially support her work tho. She designs, makes a prototype, and has her two blondes get others to replicate it)

Half of Paris is wearing her without knowing it

(Go MDC! get it girl!)

She totally makes Gotham inspired outfits because what else would she do????

Don’t get her wrong, most of Gotham’s fashion sense royally pisses her off but it’s fun and hey, supporting her fellow heroes ya know?

She wears a Robin hoodie after being officially acquainted with both Damian and Robin (separately of course)

Damian chokes on something, probably his own tongue.

It confuses Nettie. But then she thinks maybe he’s a fan too? She offers to make one for him but he steadfastly refuses much to his brothers’ amusement.

Might make a robin themed dress?? If so, she crosses paths with Robin when she does, thoroughly embarrassing her and almost sending poor Dami into a crisis.

Rogues Gallery

She makes a lot of designs off the rouges gallery because like, supporting people trying to get better??? also they’re some of the few who’s aesthetic aint shit?

She can’t make all of them because she ran out of time, so the rest get posited up on her Instagram and MDC blog (that’s run by Tikki mostly. She’s a great secretary and gets bored in Mari’s purse all the time)

Everyone is very flattered

Harley, if she ever finds it, immediately commission all pieces and wears them around Gotham don’t @ me

Daminette obvi

Marinette meets him and is just like ‘wow, you’re horrible. I want five’

Marinette, in the group chat later: so I met Kagami and Felix’s love child today

Kagami and Felix, seconds apart: I would never stoop so low

immediately after: Hey what the fuck? Rude

Nino: Nettie, dearest, sunshine, light of our collective lives and reason I breathe, what the fuck

Adrien: Kagami, my love, how could you? the Betrayal

Chloe: ew

Luka: Send pics or it didn’t happen

Nath: [insert the ‘right in front of my salad?’ meme]

Whenever they cross paths as Robin and Mari, he’ll just like,,, appear from nowhere hanging upside down spiderman style. Mari finds it endearing but she also wants him to stop scaring the shit out of her

Nicknames, because I have an unhealthy obsession with them, alright?

Misc Mari names: Bug, Bugaboo, Buginette, Madame President/Colonel (when the Team’s being cheeky), Princess, Marigold, Nettie (by like, Nino and Alix)

Jason calls her Pixie-pop

The bird boys call her Nightingale/Mockingbird in like, honor of her being a kickass civillian

Mari refers to them as ‘the flock’ (and bird-brains after getting to know them better)

Damian calls her: Starling, Habibti, ya qamar(my moon), malaki (angel), ya wardati(my flower) (b/c like, angel’s cute an all but I just think Damian’s way more dramatic than that tbh. he’d put thought into his nicknames)

Mari calls Damian: mon soleil (my sunshine) (because symmetry and also Mari thinks she’d hilarious), Birdie, petit oiseau/oisillon

I like the idea of Jagged being a native Gothamite tbh

it’s just so fun honestly???

He’s probably the reason the MTeam are in Gotham in the first place? maybe? anyway, the class is there, right? right. 

Kagami, Luka and Felix are all holding the fort down in Paris. Ain't no akumas but sometimes they need backup so when certain heroes need to disappear, Nath has Trixx set up an illusion of whichever one so they can slip away with the horse miraculous.

Mari’s the one who has to leave the most because she’s still Paris’ damage control, so like,,,,, ya know.

Mari doesn’t get left behind, at least not on the first day b/c come on people! She has plenty of friends in class watching out for her and a semi-competent teacher who does care even if she’s non-confrontational to a fault.

She does eventually become separated from the group. Half because of Lila and half because she’s always fucking late and got distracted.

She actually runs into one of the civilian batfam in the first place because the class was allowed an hour or so to wander around the shopping district or whatever to explore/buy things/get food. They just needed to return to the meetup spot at a certain time but Mari is like ten minutes away when it’s five minutes to the meetup

So she’s just… fucking booking it and completely takes out this trained vigilante without trying to.

Mari, as she’s groaning on the ground, tangled around a boy: By Kwamii, I thought my luck was supposed to be good Tikki.

That or like, the subway doors close before she can get on them and the rest of the class ends up ahead of her leaving her to get caught up on some bullshit in the next train or smth.

Oh, like. Of course it’s her train that gets held hostage. Wonderful.

(Later, Mari will rant at Tikki about her luck. A common conversation between the two tbh.)

This could be where she officially meets the Batfam as the Batfam. Or, like. A couple of em, at least.

Marinette getting serial adopted by the whole goddamn batfamily because i will die for this trope tbh i dont even care

The Robins nickname her Nightingale before they realize she’s Ladybug

They still call her that after but it’s not with the intention of making it her hero name anymore

Her and Alfred are def bros you don’t understand

Actually, Gina and Alfred are old friends. Mari totally knows Alfie before the bat fam and calls him Poppy/Pépé

which floors the batfam because what? Since when does that happen???

Alfred and Mari never, like, actually met in person before, but video chats exist and Gina def talks about the two to each other so it’s like they may as well know each other.

I also like the idea of Alfred being a former holder, probably the peacock. I would adore that

Just,,,, so many fun hero shenanigans

Yeah sure. The batfam are super detectives and have a history of figuring out people’s identities in no time at all. Whatever. Where’s the drama in that though? The showmanship?

Fuck canon, the Miraculous all have glamours because magic bitch and it plays fucking hell on the Batfam and all their shit

Every single Batfam member is simultaneously pulling their hair out because they don’t know who these heroes are???? Why can they figure them out?? Confusion???????

Miraculous team is just…. Straight up laughing at them. The poor dears.

That one gag where it’s a well-known secret that Mari has connections to every Parisian hero and is basically their own personal catering service/comfort place.

Also, it’s the worst kept secret in Paris that Mari is Multimouse

None of the MTeam have confirmed that rumour but they also don’t deny it.

they actually started the rumour. If all of Paris thinks Mari’s the mouse, a temporary hero, no one’s going to think she’s Ladybug/or that she’s an easy target to go after

chloe actually came up with that one

Mari meeting all of Damian’s ‘associates’ (ie pets)

She adores all of them and they her.

Especially GOLIATH, why isn’t he talked about more honestly???? He’s GREAT

She meets Goliath as Ladybug and Robin is just… so done with him??? You are supposed to be a fearsome beast and a professional why are you rolling over and expoSING YOUR STOMACH??? Meanwhile, Ladybug is just: Awww! Who’s a good boy? Who’s the best boy? You are! Look at how handsome you are! Cute widdle baby-

Miraculous Team hanging on the roof of their hotel kinda chilling

Maybe having a debate about doing some free-running/parkour?

Also maybe about whether or not they should be heroes while in Gotham

MT being like, why can’t we go and stop an armed robbery? we can help!

“Gotham already has very active heroes-”

“Vigilantes!”

“-whatever. I don’t want us stepping on any toes. This isn’t our terf and Batman’s known for being strict about Metas rolling around here.”

“We aren’t Metas though.”

“I don’t think he’ll enjoy splitting that particular hair, Nino. Just- not unless lives are at stake, okay? Emergencies only.”

“Yes, Colonel Ladybug.”

This debate most def gets crashed by batfam and confusion ensues upon both sides

batfam didn’t hear anything, they’re just really confused about these french kids hanging out on a roof in Gotham

Just.... yes. all of that. I have like, more but those are not organized or even remotely coherent. here you go! I might write for this but I already have other fics rn so... it wouldn’t be for a while. and as I said, I have no plot.

take this though, i guess. *throws confetti*

After the End Chapter 26: Reverse Crush

First | Previous | Next | Last

@marichatmay

Enjoy!

Read on Ao3

“Don’t leave in suspense, girl!” Alya rubbed her hands together. “Give us those juicy deets!”

“It starts with all four of us getting ready to attack the one place we know about.” Marinette looked at them meaningfully. “Suited up.”

Nino slammed his fist into his hand. “I’m down. Been a while since I’ve thrown down the Carapace hurt, but I can pull it off no prob.”

“Same here.” Alya smirked. “It’ll be nice to be Rena Rouge one more time.”

“And you know I’m more than willing to teach those guys a lesson on why you don’t kidnap super heroes.” Adrien crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Marinette smiled, an expression that didn’t reach her eyes. “Then I get the feeling that you’ll like this part of the plan the best”

---------------

Ladybug had her belly to the roof and a red spotted T-shirt cannon held in her hands. Her spot gave her an ideal vantage point on the building she had broken Chat Noir out of the week before. The only stronghold of the Gentlemen that they knew of, and the location of at least one of their lodestones.

Well, for now, at least. If everything goes right today, then it wouldn’t be housing much of anything anymore, let alone lodestones.

She had already renewed her transformation while she was alone, leaving her with nothing to do to pass the time. Minutes of waiting felt like hours as the tension built, her eyes locked on the door and hidden windows of the building. She nearly leapt out of her skin when her communicator vibrated, and almost forgot to count how many times it went off.

Twice. Rena Rouge was in position.

Shortly after that, there was a solitary buzz. Chat Noir had found his way to his spot - she could just barely see his outline from where she was, the black of his suit blending well into the shadowy alley. Three buzzes followed close behind, which was fitting. Carapace was close to Chat after all. He’d need to be for this to go well.

With all of them in position, she took a deep, steadying breath and sent an empty message to each of them. She imagined three devices going off, each of them activating their powers. The time crunch was on now.

Chat Noir streaked across the open road, his claws crackling with barely contained destructive power. He slammed it into the solid stone of the building.

---------------

“But won’t they just turn on the lodestones or whatever to stop us from doing that?”

Marinette shook her head. “That’s why we turn on our powers first. That aura doesn’t work on already active abilities.”

“Well, alright.” Alya tapped a steady rhythm against the arm of her chair. “Let’s assume that works out - I don’t see why it wouldn’t. And I can see why you’ve got Carapace on hand there, but from what you were saying, can’t they just activate the lodestone and bring it pretty close to the Shelter?”

“Yeah,” Nino chimed in, tugging at his cap. “That’ll def take even my shield down, right?”

“Yes, which is why they’ll do it.” Marinette leaned back and steepled her fingers. “And that’s exactly what we want.”

--------------

The illusion gripping the building guttered out just in time for the windows to be thrown open and the door to shake off its hinges as a whole mess of henchmen funneled out of it. Panic was on their faces, caused no doubt from the massive cracks in the stone of the building and from the way it was swaying unsettlingly in the winter winds.

Panic quickly turned to rage when they saw Chat Noir running backwards, toward the green glowing shield that Carapace had summoned to full size just as they began pulling out their weapons - everything ranging from clubs and medieval looking crossbows to more… modern arms.

“Out of the way, you idiots! That shield will stand up to everything you can manage!” A familiar voice cut through the rabble and pushed their way to the front.

This representative of the Gentlemen was no longer the calm and collected individual that Ladybug had sent running last week. There were dark rings around his eyes, and his hair was disheveled as if he had only been half paying attention when combing it. But the most important detail was what he was holding - a delicate piece of masonry, old and brittle, covered in new, deep etchings that no doubt compromised its integrity even more.

It was a gamble for them to bring it out, but they couldn’t go back into the building. ANd Ladybug knew that the man would at least want to claim a miraculous in exchange for its loss. After all, how much of a gamble could it be for them? He was surrounded by hired muscle and, shield or no, the superheroes lacked any super strength. Or even a catalcysm, since Chat had just ‘wasted’ it. Ladybug’s yoyo would be useless too, transforming into a normal yoyo before it could ever reach it.

What could they possibly do to thwart them?

Ladybug took careful aim with her T-shirt cannon, a grin on her face.

-------------

“Seems risky,” Adrien said with a frown. “Should we really leave it up to chance, using whatever the Lucky Charm gives us?”

Marinette held up one finger. “First, it hasn’t ever failed us yet.” Another finger joined the first. “Second, that’s why I’ll be the first one to summon my power, long before anyone else gets into position. If I get something that I just can’t use, then we’ll try again another time. It’ll probably be a sign from the Ladybug miraculous that then and there isn’t the best idea anyway.”

“Alright, so we destroy the lodestone thingy.” Nino tilted his hat back and scratched his head. “That still leaves us with a bunch of bad hombres and no super strength to toss ‘em around. What’s the plan to round ‘em up with just us four?”

“Simple.” Marinette smirked. “We don’t.”

-------------

The cannon had even more power to it than she thought. The Gentleman was clutching his wrist and even from here she was pretty sure it was broken. Much like that delicate piece of stone that was shattered into hundreds of pieces on the unforgiving cobbles of the Parisian streets.

Uncertainty gripped the little mob of armed henchmen as they desperately tried to split their attention between keeping an eye on the two heroes that they knew about and scanning the skyline for their mysterious T-shirt-based sniper. Naturally, she didn’t give them a chance to spot her.

A few tentative bolts and bullets were fired into Carapace’s shield, but none of it so much shook the energy field.

Gritting his teeth, the Gentlemen said, “Well played you little bastards. But there is no escape for you now - your time is limited and there is no one coming to help you now.”

It was unfortunate timing for him then that the blaring of police sirens barrelling down this very street arrived at just that moment. Bright headlights piercing through the relative dark disoriented the unruly bunch, which Ladybug took as her moment to strike.

With the lodestone destroyed, her and her yoyo remained at full strength - a few quick swings was enough to rip the weapons from their hands and pull them away, just as the Parisian police force emerged for their mass arrest.

--------------

“Clever!” Alya leaned back, whistling appreciatively. “Although I’ve still got two questions.”

“Go ahead,” Marinette gestured toward her best friend, one arm hanging over the back of the chair.

“First off - what about that library of intel you guys said they had? Even famous heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir can’t get away with just walking away with armfuls of damning evidence against a gang.” ALya raised an eyebrow. “And second, where am I in all this? Catboy and turtlelad have got their time in the spotlight, and you get your badass moment. So what about me?”

Marinette smiled. “You’ve got the answers to both of your questions right there.”

-------------

The three of them returned to the Agreste mansion and turned off their transformations. It wasn’t long before the window opened and closed again, seemingly by itself.

There was something like a heat wave in the air as Rena Rouge dropped her illusion of invisibility - and with it, a packed dufflebag.

Marinette unzipped it and couldn’t help but clap excitedly when she saw that it was filled to the brim with ledgers and notebooks - there was bound to be some important info in here, she was certain of it.

“How’d it go, babe?” Nino pressed a kiss to Rena Rouge’s cheek as her transformation dropped.

“They were way too busy staring daggers into you two to be looking back at their condemned building.” Alya grinned. “No one suspected a thing.”

Adrien began pulling out the papers, a strange look on his face. His eyes met Marinette’s and she could see something glimmering behind his eyes. She recognized it immediately.

Hope.

Miraculous Gaang

Ok so. Ideas.

Sozin Actually used to be part of the Guardian Order, but got into a fight with them over the fact that they are just sitting on these objects of power, not using them to “improve” the world. Eventually results in Sozin stealing the Peacock, then him and Roku duking it out, the Order getting destroyed, and Sozin spending the rest of his life searching for the rest of the Miraculous. Roku dies making sure other people can escape. So, total count of people who manage to flee the Order imploding:

Sozin, with a damaged Peacock Miraculous he can’t use now. He starts his company as a cover to search for the rest of the Miraculous, but he turns out to be a very good business man, so is actually successful. He eventually marries, has kids, and imparts on them the knowledge of the Miraculous, hoping one of them will succeed where he failed.

Roku’s girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time. Of course, the Order didn’t know they were dating, or that she was pregnant. Moves to another city, rebuilds a life, has her kid. Eventually tells them of the Miraculous, when explaining what happened to Dad.

A small assortment of monks, who immediately go into hiding to “preserve their knowledge”.

Gyatso, who was a child at the time. Roku entrusted the kid with the Miracle Box, under the assumption the other monks would protect him when they found him. Instead, Gyatso ended up mostly on his own, and has vowed to protect the Miracle Box as best he can.

Other idea, that Gyatso mostly uses the Turtle, which extends his lifespan, but briefly, much later, tried to use the Butterfly to help people, which resulted in it getting lost, someone dying, and Gyatso adopting baby!Aang. He is trying REAL HARD to balance “Good Parent, let kids be kids, freedom is important” with “Guilt™, Protective™, Oh God, I can’t let you get hurt like that”.

Then, so far, I think we have:

- Ladybug!Sokka

- Black Cat!Katara

- Turtle!Aang

- Dragon!Zuko

- Rabbit!Yue

- Pig!Jin

- Bee!Ty Lee

- Mouse!Mai

- Fox!Azula, or Monkey!Azula

- Tiger!Toph, or Ox!Toph

- Tiger!Suki, or Snake!Suki (for the record, I feel like the weapons could change a bit to match the wielder, so Suki could still have fans)

Also, if this isn’t Paris, we can just set it in Modern Style, Ba Sing Se?

(thoughts, feelings, opinions, ideas?)

-

Okay okay okay

So I think my main thought is that we now have an explaination of sorts for the Ursa/Ozai pairing.

Which is that ofc Sozin passed the torch of looking for the Miraculous to Azulon, and he eventually discovered Roku’s descendants. Azulon looks at that and goes ‘hey my youngest son is single and roughtly the same as that girl. Ozai you up to seduce her for information?’.

I don’t think Ursa would fall for him. Partly because she def still had her own fiance already but also like. Ozai can only do so much ‘charming’. So he probably ends up intimidating her into a relationship. Either because he’s trying to get information, or from some entitled ‘how dare you turn me down?’ thing.

I think I’m gonna lock in Tiger!Toph and Snake!Suki. And Azula with the Fox is too tempting considering Vulpyro.

Also yeah It doesn’t have to be Paris. Some modern city. Idk if i’d use Ba Sing Sae like it works but I think there could be like a name for the city itself while the different districts are named after the atla locations.

My thoughts on the Peacock:

/technically/ it’s not needed, but I can have some fun. I know it was mentioned on giving it to Azula, but I want Azula unaware of what Ozai’s doing. Mostly because she has more of an early redemption (she was still in contact with Zuko and Iroh so while she’s not fully redeemed she’s not loyal to him), so if she knew what he was doing she’d rat him out. He’s mostly using her to rile people up to be Akumatized.

So we have two options for the Peacock in my mind. One  is the OC I had made for the Avatar!Ty Lee AU because she’s /basically/ Nathalie if she was more unhinged and evil.

The second one is Zhao because tbh while we dunk on him at times, he was Book 1′s main villain and was actually good at what he was doing.
