#Marinette as a costume designer

[afkaskus]

For some reason, I'm really invested in knowing what future Miraculous character will be doing.

This are my headcanons so far and why:

(long post, in the tags you can read the resume)

Marinette: Designer. We all know this is meant to happen, it's super clear. BUT, I'm not meaning designer as a fashion designer, I meant it as a costume designer. She works mostly on movies but loves working on theaters. Sometimes she also helps with scenography and for some reason she knows a little about lighting as well. She still takes little commissions from a few artists. I like believing that she saw the fashion desing world with another pov and decided to not be part of it. Taking the Agreste company? I think she will enjoy to destroy that empire, and also will want to have her own name.

Adrien: I LOVE "Baker!Adrien" headcanon. Yes, he works with the Dupain-Chengs, and he loves it. He has the family he has always dreamed of. Also there has been a few mentions in the show of Adrien as a food seller. Tom will be thrilled to adopt Adrien and show him everything he knows. Tom will also be happy that he has someone to take over the bakery when he retires.

Gabriel: In jail. He deserves no other place to stay.

Nathalie: haven't think that much about it. But I don't think she will end up in jail like Gabriel. She's smart, she's better than that.

Alya: an reporter. It's meant to happen. She also has a few enemies because she DOES tell the truth. Maybe she will travel with Nino and they'll match their works with their travels, so maybe she's an independent reporter.

Nino: The best DJ in the world. As I said before, he matches his work travels with Alya's work, but also, they are pretty independent from each other. They love the feeling they get when they haven't seen each other in a few weeks and then they meet again in a total different country.

Kagami: Ok, hear me out in this one. Kagami is a tattoo artist. She's very good at drawing and art, but I don't think she will enjoy being in a place where rich can control everything. She's already rich and she might have the contacts to be a very recognized artist, but, let's be honest, that's not something the both rich kids want. After realizing that her mom is not the one who controls her life, she decided to be rebellious and got a tattoo herself (big thing for being japanese), after that, her friends convinced her to become a tattoo artist and she ended up loving the idea. I also like thinking that Tomoe paid a lot of people in the art industry to not let people accept Kagami as an artist, but I think is kind of brutal. Now everyone has a tattoo made by Kagami. Luka and Adrien have a competition to see who gets more tattoos.

Luka: He has his little shop, the one he named in Wishmaker. He loves making people happy finding an instrument that's made for them, specially kids.

Juleka: She's an stylist. She's the best and most revolutionary. She has a lot of knowledge in makeup and hairstyle.

Rose: She's a famous singer and songwriter, she's also Juleka's muse and they go on tour together. Juleka and Marinette help her with her style.

Chloé: She's an influencer and has her own cosmetics brand.

And that's everyone I have thought of for now.

Hey! So now that the @loveybugzine is out, I can share my piece! It was fun to design a girly floofy pink outfit for her.

The zine is free if you want to check it out!

[accidentally-drank-paintwater]

A feel bad for ladybug

[mercutio-doodles]

i just feel like marinette would go a lot more carnival costumey on her costume

[jennrypan]

.. why does MLB keep fumbling the bag!?!?!?

YOURE TELLING ME MARINETTE FINALLY HAS A GOOD HERO COSTUME AND THEN LOSES IT AT THE END?!?!

I don't CARE that she's good now SHE CAN BE GOOD AND EDGY

I'm so pissed out-- it's like every magical girl thing where the girl turns in her colors and magic at the end. PLEASE.

Put those buns BACK. PUT THE LIPSTICK BACK IM BEGGING

[glassrooibos]

The shady bug design is objectively hilarious and therefore I am obsessed

[critical-thinking-is-mandatory]

Sometimes I forget how dull the costume design is in miraculous and then I'll see a screenshot or smth after I've been watching shows i actually like and bruh.

Wtf. They really did just put marinette in skin tight polka dots and call it a day 😭🥴

Another version of the Lady Bug costume design. I've been a fan of this fandom for a very long time and now I've decided to remember it.

[bitsandbobcats]

I’m obsessed with @arcadeology ‘s fashion club au, so I drew our intrepid heroes.

[salmonight]

Redesigned bee hero outfit (MLB) for my fanfic (Nymphs and Midnight Melodies) which I probably never gonna finish but it was a fun experience making the costume anyways!

[iwasbored777]

After watching Kwami Buster clips for my edit it's sending me that Marinette wanted to adjust every transformation to fit every miraculous and how to make her costume look good while she wears all her miraculouses like she put so much effort into it and then Gabriel was like "I quit" and just made them all look the same and stuck to that purple condom costume cuz he didn't want to bother making it look good anymore

[lmao-ooooooo]

imagine marinette when shes finally told that she can customise her her ladybug costume

like first she would stare blankly at tikki for the whole 30 seconds

then she would start squealing in excitement

then shes sitting on her chair for the next 4 hours coming up with new costume ideas

then the next time theres a akuma shes wearing a cropped spandex t-shirt under a leather jacket and she has a belly piercing???

she may or may not have given many, many people a nose bleed

[themossycauldron]

Possible Chat Noir interpretation???

This show isn't exactly my style, but it's become a sort of guilty pleasure for me- I can't stop watching.

I wanted to add more of a "shadow" motif to his outfit, considering his black color pallette- I also wanted to make his hero design more separate from his casual look! (And by that I mean just plain ol' Adrien.) There's likely a reason to it, but I was always confused on why Marinette and Adrien couldn't recognize each other in and out of costume.

(Pretend the rest of the costume is black pretty please I was too lazy to color the rest)

The change of Shadybug and Claw Noir's costumes at the end makes so much sense, both thematically and lore-wise. The show has told us time and time again that the costumes that the characters wear are a reflection of themselves— how they feel in the moment, how they see themselves, the energy they carry. Of course their costumes would change at such a monumental moment of character growth. Of course Shadybug would want to look more like Ladybug, the version of herself that she wants to be. Of course Claw Noir would want to get rid of his spikes and look more like himself, to seem less intimidating, to let his natural hair color show. Of course they would want to change their names, to shed their association with their previous selves, where they were merely tools being used and disrespected and left to rot by the being they trusted, the being that saw them as nothing more than dispensable cogs in a machine. Of course they'd want to start fresh. This makes so much sense that there really is no alternate ending that would've worked, and if I were a writer on the special, I wouldn't change it.

that being said, FUCK their new designs claw noir and shadybug will always be claw noir and shadybug and he'll always have green hair and spikes and she'll always have space buns i don't care i don't care i don't care. adrien deserves spikes and marinette just looks so good in space buns ok i am on my knees sobbing and punching the floor

Les Enfants Terribles! Been holding on to these evil Ladybug and Chat Noir designs for a few years now, finally got around to doing something with them. I've always been... disappointed with canon evil versions of our sweet little idiots. Antibug and Chat Blanc are. serviceable. as far as akumatizations go, but I was pretty sorely disappointed by Shadybug and Claw Noir. They're not even really evil!! Sooo lame.

Anyways, I'm tickled by the idea of who Marinette and Adrien would be if they were just like, genuinely bad people. Or as bad as teenagers can be. I have a lot of ideas about characterization for them, especially about how the people that they are in this world affects how they present themselves as supervillains. They hate each other in and out of costume, and in costume are constantly trying to kill each other and steal the other's miraculous, with huge blowout fights that tear apart Paris. Occasionally, they grudgingly team up to deal with akumatized heroes sent by this universe's Gabriel.

That about sums it up! Looking forward to doing more with these terrible two.
