Realizing how close we are to the end of the year and how much art I haven't posted????? Here's some sketches from this summer/fall that were me art directing the Ladybug PV as if it were more SpiderVerse-y

felix being able to tell chat noir is a sentimonster so he starts calling him “brother” is the funniest thing i’ve ever thought of

he refuses to fight at least chat now. and adrien’s only ever had someone call him brother to mean like. friend. and he knows damn well felix has no siblings so he’s just like “:) felix is being so nice. maybe he’s turned over a new leaf”

meanwhile ladybug is now convinced that chat is felix’s long lost twin brother and is scouring the internet (and also bouncing questions off adrien) in a desperation to figure out why the fuck else he would ever call someone brother

[youremarvelous]

I just think it's funny that everyone in the mlb fandom (as well as bryce papenbrook) refers to chat noir's weapon as a staff or baton, but the english dub INSISTS on calling it a damn stick

I regularly forget that this actually happened and wasn’t an edit or a fever dream

insanity.

(DISCLAIMER: this shit is stupidly long and I blame @secretly-of-course and @lollytea for these particular brain worms. Look what you’ve done to me. I put the bulk of it under the cut so you all don’t hate me)

OKAY SO. okay. the huntlow miraculous au brain worms have been WRITHING.

I know a lot of people have been putting Hunter as Ladybug and Willow as Chat Noir, but I DISAGREE. (respectfully)

1. Willow is terrified of ladybugs and it would be REALLY funny for her to get the Ladybug miraculous

2. She just...she IS Marinette! I know that Hunter being all blushy parallels Marinette, but with Willow it could be interpreted as her shyness/insecurity during the Abomination track. Meanwhile, her true confident badass self emerges once she’s Ladybug.

3. Hunter and Adrien are both blonde bois growing up and existing under the authority of an abusive father figure. Both are highly trained in order to live up to the expectations put on them. (Though in this AU to keep up with canon a bit I imagine he's escaped to live with Luz and is adopted into her family)

4. Hunter and Adrien both infodump and it's adorable

5. I 100% believe that Hunter, if he had met Willow during his GG era, would flirt mercilessly with her. Masked confidence and all that.

I think Willow would be into Hunter but in a sort of detached way? Like he's just the brother of her best friend Luz. Sure he's cute but why would he be into half-a-witch Willow? (Are they also witches in this AU I don't know man I'm just brain melting on main)

Hunter meanwhile is a little clueless. His entire focus is on Cosmic Frontier and sewing and wild magic and and and...

Willow is really charmed by this and finds herself able to listen to his ramblings for as long as he'll talk to her (mostly when she comes around to the house and Luz is getting ready or something)

Hunter is just happy to have someone listen to him, since even Gus can get a little fed up with the constant AUs and theories about O'Bailey and the crew. He'll call Willow from time to time just to rant about whatever current fixation he's gotten into.

Their masked selves though?? Oh Hunter is head over fuckin heels for this girl. She's strong and smart and kind and did he already say strong? Titan this girl works out. Like his good friend Willow! :)))

Ladybug!Willow is kind of annoyed with this overly flirtatious partner of hers, but she sees the genuine nerd underneath peek out from time to time, especially if she's close enough to get him flustered and sputtering, completely dismantling the persona he obviously puts on for her. Sometimes she'll catch him rambling about random facts he knows and the sparkle that appears in his eye reminds her of her very good friend Hunter! :)))

She tries more and more to get this genuine, blushy side of him to appear, eventually getting so comfortable in the dynamic that it starts to spill over into her interactions with Hunter. He and Chat are so similar, after all!

This is when something clicks for Hunter. His sister's friend is much more than just someone who listens to him ramble, and all at once he's a mess around her. Luz picks up on this immediately and teases him CONSTANTLY about it. Willow, on the other hand, is pretty clueless about Hunter's feelings towards her. If anything she's worried he's starting to pull away

Hunter, entirely hopeless without his mask, finds himself showing up at Willow's balcony as Chat Noir. He's comfortable with her. He's able to relax without dissolving into a spluttery mess, and in turn Willow is able to be herself as well, while occasionally flirting back just for fun.

After months of these two idiots dancing around each other maybe a reveal would go something like this:

"So, wildflower, if not this handsome cat who's the lucky person you've got your eye on?" Hunter asked. He was perched lazily (and precariously) on Willow's balcony, leaning forward on his staff with a crooked smile, eyes glittering green behind his mask.

Willow rolled her eyes and pushed him away playfully with a hand.

"Wouldn't you like to know, my mysterious midnight caller." She teased, laughter subsiding a bit as she thought about Hunter. He had gotten so distant lately and she worried she had been coming on too strong. Maybe his feelings weren't what she thought after all.

Chat frowned at the sudden drop in enthusiasm, studying Willow's face. "Hey, Titan-to-Willow." He nudged her gently to rouse her from her thoughts, "are you alright?"

Willow started a bit but recovered quickly, giving him a soft smile that nearly knocked him off the balcony.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Sorry kittycat, just...thinking." She frowned again.

"Oooooh so there is someone else!" Chat fake-swooned, lying back on the railing making Willow laugh which was his favorite sound.

He turned his head to face her, eyes softening. "You know you can tell me anything, wildflower."

She smiled at his nickname for her and sighed. "I know, it's just...such a weird situation and I'm not really sure how to go about it. I don't even know for sure if he feels the same way, I..." she bit her lip, unsure if she should say more.

Chat gave her an encouraging nod, quietly waiting for her to continue.

All at once, everything Willow had been holding back for the last few months fell out in a tangle of words. She talked about "this guy", *gushed* about him, really. How he was kind and thoughtful, funny and nerdy, a little awkward at times but so endearingly sweet. How he cared for his siblings, how brave he was for escaping a bad situation and how proud she was of him for slowly coming into his own.

Willow's eyes were shining, talking about this boy, who to Chat's astonishment sounded like...him? He continued to listen, leaning forward and brain running through every scenario in which he could have POSSIBLY missed this. He could feel his face burning with the blush that must've reached the tips of his ears. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

She trailed off, tugging on her braid awkwardly, eyes on her shoes. "Anyway, I—" she dragged her gaze back up to meet his, only to find him practically inches away from her face. Their eyes locked and something in Willow's heart stirred. She leaned forward, squinting at him, causing Chat's eyes to widen as he leaned back in alarm.

"Who are you really?" She asked, hope and fear swirling in her chest.

"Willow, I—AH" he leaned back until suddenly there was nothing to lean on but air and he was falling. "Well," he thought, "at least I'll die knowing the most beautiful girl on the Isles has feelings for me."

Fast reflexes as always and a mumbled "oh no you don't," Willow conjured a soft bed of moss for him to tumble onto. She poked her head out from her balcony to assess the damage.

"You alright!?" She called, already scrambling down a hastily made vibe towards him.

A black-clad arm raised itself in the air with a shaky thumbs up.

He was still laying face-down in the moss, lest he look at her and burn his mask away completely. She flipped down comfortably on her knees beside him, her dress poofing out around her. She poked him with a vine, “Alive?” She asked.

"Hunter's not home right now leave a message." He mumbled out and then froze.

Willow caught her breath, staring down at him in disbelief. "What did you say?" She squeaked, feeling a blush creep dangerously close to her ears.

"I uh, haha! whaaaaaat? I have a concussion! Probably! Who knows what I'm saying! Byyyeeee—" Chat tried to scramble to his feet but Willow grabbed his hand pulling him back down next to her on the moss. She searched his eyes and, holding her breath, placed her fingers under his mask, drawing it gently up and over his forehead. She was struck by how beautiful he was. Blonde hair tousled, cheeks flushed, mouth slightly agape but that was just Hunter. She found herself smiling, and then laughing over how ridiculous everything was.

Here she had been confiding in her closest friend about the boy she liked, only for him to BE the boy she liked. It was too much. She was bordering on hysterics, as the fact that she had just CONFESSED to the BOY SHE LIKED sank in and she started to panic.

Hunter, who had been sitting there waiting for her to finish, (he knew from experience that there was no stopping Willow’s laughing fits) sensed the change and placed his hands on her shoulders, urgently turning her to face him again.

“Captain.” Her eyes met his and he thought he might melt into them but he needed to focus. Needed to make sure. “Did you really mean what you said back there?” He swallowed. “A-about me?”

The laughter had gone away replaced by a mouth so dry Willow didn’t think she’d be able to speak, so she nodded silently instead.

She was leaning forward again, placing a hand on his knee to steady herself. His eyes flitted to her lips and back up to her face, flushing at their closeness. Hunter backed up a little, “I-uh-can I maybe um.” He cleared his throat and tried again, his next words coming out in a murmur, “may I kiss you?”

Willow nodded again, more vigorously this time, which made Hunter laugh softly, raising a hand from her shoulder to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear before he pulled her in.

It was like fireworks were going off in Hunter’s brain with information overload. His hand was tangled in her soft hair (how many times had he daydreamed about running his fingers through it?), her skin warm in the cold night air as if she glowed from within. She smelled like flowers and earth and sun. His other hand found its way to her waist as he drew her closer, meaning to deepen the kiss, but he must have been a little too eager because he just threw them off balance instead. They landed in a heap on the soft moss, Willow looking up at him in shock while Hunter looked down and beamed at her, a huge grin splitting his face, tooth gap on full display.

They both burst out laughing, holding onto each other for dear life as the pure insanity over the last hour hit them fully.

As the giggles subsided, Hunter sighed contentedly, pulling Willow close as she snuggled into his shoulder. He shook his head and chuckled again, looking up at the stars.

“Titan. Next thing you’ll tell me is that you’re Ladybug.”

I love in the ML fandom, there are three constants:

Gabriel, Lila, and Show!Felix need to be bitchslapped.

Adrien needs a hug.

Chloe deserved a better written character arc that didn’t get shafted.

My favorite idea is (probably) one I have alone: Marinette needs a day off or she’ll go feral and commit manslaughter on everyone/Marinette’s FUCKIN PISSED. Like the Kirby picture.

You had me until the "Chloe deserved a better-written character arc that didn’t get shafted."

Her character arc has barely started. I've already talked and mentioned about this many times LMAO.

We only got an insight into Chloe's backstory and relationship with her family and only once has she selflessly wielded the Bee miraculous to protect her family (which Ladybug handed to her DESPITE the girl having almost killed Marinette and her family and a bunch of others in the train for a staged superhero stunt to impress that asshole of a mother she has). This is not a redemption arc- it's the start of (as you mentioned) a character arc.

We see her become more arrogant and self-entitled when it comes to the bee miraculous. Though she practically worshipped Ladybug, she treated Chat Noir like shit. Towards the end of season three, we see Chloe become more and more desperate because she feels like she's deserving of the bee miraculous and that it belongs to her solely. Then we see her finally realise that Ladybug won't give in to her demands (the red heroine mainly not doing so because Chloe has RISKED her identity and thus put herself and her family in danger), giving in to Le Papillon's manipulation.

And throughout season four, Chloe is continuing to get worse and worse. She's teamed up with Lila just to get in Marinette's way of happiness even at the cost of her 'childhood best friend's' happiness. She no longer shows any remorse or cares for Adrien- someone she's supposed to care for.

This is all a clear build-up for something. Just because she's growing into a worse person doesn't mean it's a badly written character arc. It's excellent because she's an antagonist!

And keep in mind, I am a HUGE Chloe fan.

I love her the way she is. I love that she's petty, horrible and just so cruel to everyone. I love that she's digging her own grave and becoming worse and worse because not every single rich bully mean girl have to be redeemed!

Am I open for her to have a redemption arc? Of course! I believe that Zoe might be the key to that and I theorise that they would become sisters who share the bee miraculous.

Overall, I personally believe that salt fics and fix-it fics that have Chloe having realised Lila's lies all this time (despite being one of the many people to believe her lies all the time in canon and joining up with her) and showing what a 'queen' she is all along and being a mouthpiece for the author is what skewed the fandom (especially the west!!!) regarding what Chloe is really like.

As far as we know with what canon has shown us:

She has bullied Marinette and her classmates for years and never apologised or made up for it.

She barely gives a shit about Adrien's happiness and has attempted to scheme plans that would have had him locked up in the mansion forever (Episode: Gabriel Agreste).

She is mainly horrid to Sabrina and treats her like a lackey.

Do I need to mention all those people she got akumatised because of how mean she was or because of petty actions?

There's so much more man.

But anyway. She is a fourteen-year-old teenager. She has plenty of room for growth and to learn to be a better person. Am I saying she's evil incarnate? No, that's Gabriel Agreste.

However, she is absolutely no angel either. Have a good day!
