#fox!nino

[kittkattys]

Alya and Nino from my Reverse AU bc I've had them in my head for a few weeks <3

[kari-go]

Bunch of fox!Nino because I'm indecisive lol

On the left are the ones I like the most. My favorite one is probably the first one, surprisingly.

His name used to be Whiskers because foxes have them and I base his names on animal parts or something to do with sound/music. I changed it to Whispers because a lot of animals have whiskers and Whispers just sounds cooler, especially because the fox is supposed to be more sneaky.

[graaythekwami]

Fox!Nino is best Nino. All kwamis swaps should result in Nino getting the Fox, give me all the chaotic Trixx and Nino interactions.

Here's some art of Silver Paw from my fic Withered Wings, and of Foxglove from my fic Crimson and Noire. Biggest difference between them is mostly coloring, with Silver Paw trying to operate in the shadows with a stolen Miraculous, while Foxglove is a fully accepted hero. :)

Life Swap! Ladybug & Chat Noir, Fox Nino, Turtle Alya, Bee Socqueline - You’re Gonna Find Your Way Because You’re Not Alone

Ladybird held her hand out to Pantero, as the three companions watched her welcoming him back with their traditional handshake to hug. She was not alone, and with them she never was going to get again.

[maddascanbe-blog]

Here's a bunch of doodles I did for the redesigned heroes, plus one Zoé Lee-Bourgeois, in her Bee hoodie no less. I do have designs for tiny Vesperia that I might put out later. But for next time, I think it's time we bring in a villain? Maybe a certain fox?

Possibly How It Should Have Been

Gosh, I've just thought about it sometimes, as I'm largely trying to turn my creative focus onto something more enjoyable than ML (hence less writing for ML fics), but sometimes I just can't help but focus on it. Cause it's a great concept and it's butchered and that bothers me so much.

And there's SO MUCH that could've been done to improve it. Some of which could be easy tweaks. Some of which needs massive overhauling. Some of it is just picking a lane, staying in that lane, and you follow the road to progress.

It's a great concept with a LOT of possibilities and ways it could've been done. I've actually thought about possible ML Rewrites a few times, I even reached out to a friend to try and help develop a Rewrite that we could've collabed on cause I was struggling to much to decide, and we both just got stuck cause there's so many options for characters and what could possibly be done as we could see so many pros for each option.

And of course, part of the pondering that came to my mind was seeing promising improvement with kwami swaps.

Like, Marinette and Adrien may have developed better if they had each other's miraculous. Plagg could've been the ideal foil to Marinette as he's the opposite of her in every way, addressing her overworking herself, prioritizing others over herself, and caring so much about her responsibilities that it just weighs and stresses her out. And with Adrien and Tikki, she could've helped him develop as an actual, step up in responsibility, learn to take on duty, to care about others over himself. She also would've helped him get the plot rolling, as Adrien is a stagnant character but Tikki is not. She's going to get him involved into the Agreste plot whether he wants it or not, and in turn, he's going to get Tikki to learn to be more attentive and considerate of her holders cause things can go south for Adrien very quickly if she pushes too much.

Gosh, another great kwami swap that could've been done that could've improved a lot was switching up who are the leads. I always wondered if Tikki and Plagg TRULY would've picked Marinette and Adrien, also if they were even the right picks now that we know that Fu doesn't know everything and is running on limited knowledge. As far as we know, they ARE the wrong picks for these two. And considering there was an ep of Tikki and Plagg picking their own users, I now wonder if Alya and Nino should've been our actual leads.

How Alya was initially as Scarabella screams to me that it would've better served in the Origins as a starting hero. Alya also has promising potential arcs as a starting hero, especially as being a superhero is her living her dream:

There's the struggle of balancing her civilian and hero life, she can learn that the civilian life is just as important.

She can learn that being a hero isn't all glory and isn't always easy.

She can learn the importance of secrecy, and what happens if she exposes herself to the public or to a friend (probably Marinette).

And a lot of the lessons Tikki is involved with would make more sense with Alya, who does get tunnel vision and isn't good at listening to others and isn't so considerate and can be very pushy with her own agenda. Alya naturally aims for the leadership position and Tikki wants her Ladybugs to be leaders, so Tikki can help guide Alya to improve as a leader. Lastly, Alya will challenge Tikki on her call outs, which could at certain points help established that Tikki isn't always right and is open to learn and adapt too. And Alya could busy herself looking into HM, making her theories and being nosy about his identity, which Tikki would readily be apart of and encourage. Which Alya should've done in the show than recklessly trying to expose the heroes identity to the public and help HM win. Which, if Adrien wasn't a hero, maybe that should have been his role instead, which Gabriel could encourage and Adrien is even more excited cause he thinks his father is taking an interest in what he does which can be some later Adrien angst for you.

With Nino and Plagg, the BIGGEST plus is that it would actually give Nino SOMETHING outside Alya and Adrien. It would've prompt him to get more focus, and based on what's seen, he's 2nd to Marinette in having the most friends, meaning he can be more engaging and present with what happens to his classmates. Plagg also could bring some needed chaos to his life. You can even expand upon what's seen in Horrificatr where Nino can be controlling, strict, and harsh so Plagg can work on that. Nino does have some similarities to Marinette where he does care a lot for his friends and is hardworking, so there's something there to make Plagg a bit of a foil to him. To expand on Nino's role as Alya embraces being the big hero and savior, could even do the fandom popular idea of him getting Guardian training.

With those two taken, this nicely opens up others getting the Five.

Marinette can work with either Bee or Fox. If you want to work off Chloe vs Marinette, it works best if Marinette has the Bee. Though I think Pollen's personality should be overhauled, but if not, at least there's a perk that yes man Pollen going to force Marinette to take initiative and decide things for herself instead of seeking advise from her kwami. And with Fox, that can work off Marinette being a meddler, schemer, being creative, and her more inclined to work from the shadows. There could also be a fun twist to explore with Marinette not liking liars and she has a miraculous tied to deception, plus her and Trixx could've been an interesting pair to see interact, especially if working off what's seen in Sapotis where Trixx is very observant and manipulative, but also a bit of a chaotic gambler (from what I've seen, later seasons seem to ruin Trixx as a character). And of course, Marinette having Fox could work off her vs Lila, you could even dabble in her vs Felix.

Arguably, Chloe MAY grow as Alya and Nino would NOT have been so tolerant of her unlike Marinette and Adrien, so Chloe could've gotten the Bee and actually be a good hero and character for it. But that can also come down to preference and how you want Chloe to go.

Adrien could've gotten the Turtle, which I think could've been one of the best miraculous he could've gotten as he naturally likes to be a protector, and this miraculous works off that while also giving him protection. Wayzz also could've maybe addressed Adrien readily sacrificing himself, help him learn to be more cautious instead of rushing in, or at least think and be smart about how you go forward. There's even a possibility of Adrien having Turtle full time, as Nino could share his suspicions with Fu about Gabriel, so Wayzz could be there as a spy to check things out, which would have Adrien eventually get involved in his own plot, but still allow things to be at a slower pace. And as Wayzz, ideally, seems to be serious and dedicated but also playful and open minded, I think he would be very engaging with Adrien, which in turn could mean that when Adrien needs a call out, he would listen to what Wayzz had to say more (as most of the time Adrien ignores what Plagg says).

As for the leads, both would have an equal neutral involvement in the plot that can explain why things don't resolve quickly (looking at you Adrien who won't even ask questions about the suspicious book your father has). Alya would be a hero and lead for glory and self-righteousness, Nino would be to genuinely help others. Neither would have a super close tie to Gabriel, allowing him to sit under their noses for a while.

Also, gosh, you even could've had a lot of fun with color coded rivals/foils/personal antagonists for Alya and Nino.

If you really wanted to do Alya vs Lila, let Lila actually have the Fox or maybe she bought the Fox in Volpina, and this has Alya and Lila having the miraculous the other is color coded for. She could work off being a hero initially for the wrong reasons, just like Alya who starts for the glory too, as well as integrity vs deception.

Something could also be done between Nino vs Felix, with Nino really color coded for Peacock while Felix is color coded for Cat. Could play off both being ambitious to a fault and being selfish and nosy, but Nino cares more for others vs Felix is more exclusive.

And if expanding to others...

Of course could do Marinette vs Chloe if Marinette has the Bee, Chloe could have the Mouse, which could be funny to see Chloe deal with herself. That might humble her.

As for Adrien... could do him and Max being foils, work off Max getting Horse while largely wearing green, and I think Adrien is most color coded for Horse. Could work off both being perfectionist and could delve into the shared interest of gaming, with Max trying to bring out the competitiveness in Adrien. Could be thinking vs action.

Either way, ML is frustrating cause it's a show with potential and great concepts and it's irritating that it got butchered so. And the most frustrating thing is that there is just so many options to how it could've been done better. And kwami swap wise, these are my top two picks that would've been better.

Thank you for coming to my TED talks.

There’s an imposter among them but who is it?

[huynun]

I definitely want to keep what I think the canon writers were trying to do with assigning the miraculi so I want each hero to have something to do with the powers that they’re good at and one thing that they improve on throughout the series

Currently I have

Marinette

- Good at: creation

- bad at: good luck

Adrien

- good at: ? (Destruction???)

- bad at: bad luck?

Alya

- good at: attention to detail

- bad at: noticing lies (and or telling lies)

Nino

- good at: being protective of others

- bad at: standing up against things that are wrong

Chloe

- good at: ? Being able to delegate? Good at subjugation?

- bad at: hard work

Now, you may be able to tell that I have some uncertainty, with Chloe, then I know the bee is the miraculous of subjugation but I’m not entirely sure I want to encourage that, especially for a show that I would theoretically target towards kids

Honestly, I want them all to be very good at the main point of their miraculous like marinette is good at creating things and Nino is good at protecting people (in this au, i don’t mean in the canon show where he has…. limited screen time)

But, that leaves me in a bit of a pickle because I don’t know how one can be specifically good at destruction, especially since destroying things is very easy; it also means that with Alya I’m at something of a loss because illusion is not something easy to be good at either for different reasons, though maybe she would be good at selling lies but not good at noticing when someone else is telling them?

Much to consider

The LuckyBug Miracle Team Sucks - TWEOS AU Analysis

(4 individuals who don't work for their miraculous, and 1 person that does)

Just to start off, yes, I am analyzing my own work. Nobody really has the same depth of information on this other than me, after all. I want to get more into these sorts of things, because I like to organize my thinking behind the choices I make in this fic, and maybe even draw people into my work as well!

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Viperius - CARA.PACE - Renared - Chat Noir

These are the five main holders of the LuckyBug Team before CN quits at the start of TWEOS. We're going to be talking about why most of them suck at their job (but mostly why Lucky chose terrible miraculouses for her peers), starting from worst to best synergy.

Viperius - Snake of Intuition

The ideal holder of the Snake Miraculous is someone who is level-headed, wise, and capable.

Luka Marcel Couffaine is the exact opposite of all of these things.

In TWEOS, Luka Couffaine is as far removed from empathy as humanly possible, making him a terrible superhero in general, much less one with a power as important as interrupting the flow of time. Luka never goes out of his way to explore his abilities, rarely involves himself in battle unless forced to, and put more thought into giving his superhero form a sexy haircut than into being a good teammate. He is explicitly only a superhero for the money it brings in even though he is already the son of a world-famous rockstar. Luka is not intuitive or wise, he is shallow and self-serving.

More Suitable Miraculous: None of them. Maybe the Mouse so he can multiply and go fuck himself.

CARA.PACE - Turtle of Protection

The ideal holder of the Turtle Miraculous is someone who is stable, sacrificial, and steadfast.

Nicolas Ibrahim Lahiffe, unfortunately, falls short of the mark.

While not as outwardly shitty as Luka, Nino also lacks the right qualities in an effective superhero. Nino is the type of person who, as Quinton Reviews once perfectly put it, "would rather be chill than be right". Nino is laid-back and likes to show off with his Miraculous, enjoying how cool it makes him look while still helping out at the end of the day. ...But he's not exactly protective. If anyone even stood up to Lucky being physically abusive, it should've been him. But Nino does not protect the weak, because he is the kind of person to stand on the sidelines. Nino is not a source of stability, he's too much of a laid-back (and often cowardly) jokester to protect anyone.

More Suitable Miraculous: Monkey, Pig.

Renared - Fox of Illusion

The ideal holder of the Fox Miraculous is someone who is cunning, sly, and witty.

Aaliyah Thérèse Césaire is trying so hard to make it work, but is underserved by what she's been given.

If anyone in the team has the braincells, it's Alya. Alya can draft up plans with her Holo-Illusions like second nature, strategize on the fly, and takes to her ability to make diagrams out of thin air like a fish to water. ...But that's not what the Illusions are for, is it? As natural for her determined nature, she strives to bend her miraculous to her will anyways, rarely ever using her Illusions to actually distract and more to help her with her thankless job of the actual team leader. It makes sense that she would function this way, though! Alya is a proponent of the truth through and through, and is rather blunt often to the point of being brutally honest. Alya is not cunning, she is forthright and stubborn. If only she got a miraculous to reflect that.

More Suitable Miraculous: Ox, Rooster, Bee

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Ladybug of Creation

The ideal holder of the Ladybug Miraculous is someone who is creative, compassionate, and clever.

Marinette Anne Louise Dupain-Cheng is this in all the wrong fucking ways.

It does take a creative person to formulate a plan to woo your celebrity crush with a perfect version of you. It takes someone who knows how to be compassionate to so effectively deny a shred of it to Chat Noir. It takes a clever person to make up a fake eulogy. And yet, at the same time, Lucky Lucky Ladybug is hindered by her hot-headed entitlement and her need to be the center of attention. She lets her team do the creative work, weaponizes her compassion as something to market herself with, and is somehow so caught up in her own world that she ignores evidence of Adrien being a relationship when it is staring her in the face. Marinette is best described as an embodiment of "creation" only in the sense that she will one day orchestrate her own undoing.

More Suitable Miraculous: Anything would be better than the Ladybug. That way she isn't brainwashing people anymore.

Chat Noir/Errant - Black Cat of Destruction

The ideal— Actually, let's break from convention for this one.

If anyone is fit to embody Destruction, it is Adrien fucking Agresté.

Once you get deep enough into TWEOS, Adrien is by far the most emotionally turbulent character out of any of them. It helps that the narration is so often colored by his input, but his range is exceptional and takes up a significant focus of the story. He is the mostly openly self-destructive and suicidal, romanticizing the idea of dying with his girlfriend, but is equally willing to destroy others in pursuit of his goals.

It's also worth taking into account that TWEOS is essentially a corruption arc. The whole point of the story is to witness his circumstances tear him apart, unearth his traumas, show a version of Adrien that becomes bitter and violent and vengeful. What power would suit a vengeful, violent person better than the power to destroy things?

Conclusion

In short, it's meant to be incredibly ironic that the only holder that truly embodies their miraculous is the one that quits. The entire ordeal is a stageplay put on by higher powers, of course it's more important to them that their puppets are obedient more than anything.

Of course, this isn't to say that synergy between a person and their miraculous is a good thing, either; That's what makes the eventual magic-induced insanity even worse, after all. This is what killed Emilie, what's ruining Marinette's relationships, and what is starting to happen to Adrien as well.

Out of your variants of tiger Chris, I think I like most the one on the right, it just seems most balanced, and with how the stripes are done. Also forgot to tell about your fox Nino versions, I like most the second from the left, the one with orange hood.

Hm it honestly seems like the most basic one to me xd. I really liked the gradient one because of the gradient but that was the only thing it had. It was textureless, he looked kinda naked. Maybe if I add a hoodie it would look better. I guess the ones in the middle are my favorite. The right one is like his bee suit (Golden Guard) and the left one is more... sneaky? It has that vibe, I like how dark it is. Which is also why I'm not sure about the last one. It's too light for me.

That one is kinda based on his dolphin suit (Sonear), so I wasn't sure about that one because of it. But I like it, I think I'm gonna use it.

Hi I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about all of you fox!ninos?

Fox!Nino! 🧡

So I have two Fox!Ninos, Silver Paw and Foxglove. Silver Paw is exclusive to my Withered Wings fic, while Foxglove is for any other AUs (most notably Crimson and Noire). I could also see Silver Paw acting as a "Rena Furtive" version of Foxglove, though I don't have any plans for such in any upcoming fics.

Their costumes are pretty similar, with them both having a long coat with a fox ear hood and a fox-tail tailcoat, and black boots and gloves. Silver Paw's costume is dark gray and Foxglove's is rust red, both highlighted with black and white. C&N Foxglove has goggles but I usually imagine Fox!Nino with a mask.

Silver Paw is an angsty boy from an angsty fic. He stole the Fox Miraculous straight from Marinette, and while he does feel guilty he doesn't have many regrets with taking up the role as an antihero in the eyes of the city. He's more than willing to prioritize protecting his boyfriend (Hawk Moth's son and ally) rather than taking them down, and would do anything for Adrien. His goal in life is to punch Hawk Moth (again), and has walked away with a nasty scar from the man. He has a really good bond with Trixx, who helps him bear all the secrets he's forced to carry. Silver Paw is not a good match power-wise for Trixx, and naturally works better with other Miraculouses, so he had to work very hard to fully utilize the power of Deception.

Foxglove has things easier. He's a temporary hero and the first in his AU to learn about what the Miraculouses truly are aside from the Guardians/heroes. Unfortunately keeping these secrets isn't easy for him, and he can get pretty nervous when is girlfriend Alya brings up the topic of heroes because of this. While he still naturally opposes Trixx's concept of Deception this is not a limitation for him in this AU, and is actually one of the reasons he was chosen to be a Fox, to balance out these powers. Foxglove is heavily reliant on playing the flute to manipulate the illusions he creates. He's a bit wary of Trixx, due to the limited time he's had with the Fox, and Trixx's decision to introduce themselves by declaring they would eat Nino's soul.

Overall the reason I love the idea of Fox!Nino is for the Nino and Trixx interactions. I just think these two are very adorable together and would have such a good bond. The little Fox would enjoy teasing Nino a bit too much, and would be very protective of his Kit.

A Rose For Your Heart- Pt.5

Part 1, Part 4

She felt her mind freeze. What was Nino talking about? What did he mean 'twist his ring' and 'terrorising, psycho of a father'?

"Bet he told you to lock them up in a coffin like your mom!"

Chat noir stumbled back, his eyes wide as his claws pulled at his hair. He looked so hurt. She'd never seen him hurt before. Except for Chat Blanc.

She felt a wave of rage in her that told her to punch Nino in the face and stop him from hurting her kitty who wouldn't even harm a fly. But the logical, heroic part of her mind told her to calm down. She couldn't hurt a civilian.

"Nino, don't," she heard him whisper. He sounded so scared. And lost.

"Or maybe he just threatened to tell everyone that you're a senti-MONSTER. Or just snap his fingers and make you dissapear. Whatever it is, I DON'T CARE!" He screamed, spitting in his face.

She froze. Senti-monster? Dissapear? Was this all a trick of Shadowmoth's? Maybe this isn't the real Chat. Maybe the real Chat is still safe at home trying to get his sibling or someone out of his room so he could transform?

She was brought back to Earth by the sound of people screaming and jeering. She looked to where Chat was cowering in a corner, and his green eyes met hers.

He's not a fake, and these aren't lies, she knew immediately. She knew those eyes, had gotten lost in them a million times. They'd looked into her very soul whenever she felt sad or discouraged.

And now they held tears in a way she never thought possible for her cheerful, light-hearted kitty.

She walked forward confidently, trying to suppress the stinging in her throat. The crowd quieted down, but she could read their emotions as easily as reading a children's book. Everyone was tensed, waiting for a dramatic confrontation. A few teens were obviously expecting her to kiss either him or Nino, she could see it in their faces. But most others were expecting her to slap him or yell.

And slap and yell she did. Just not, him.

"You!" She shrieked, voice laced with disgust as she pulled Nino away from her kitty and got between the two of them. "How DARE you!? You have no right to yell at him after everything he's done for this ungrateful city," she was adressing the general crowd now, but still stabbing a finger at Nino.

"Feather or not, he's just as human as everyone else, and a great deal more human than you!"

She slapped him then. Not as hard as she'd like to, but she couldn't afford him flying off and falling unconscious, no matter how much the idea appealed to her.

He did fall on his bottom with a hand at his cheek though, which would have to be enough for now. She'd give him the rest as Marinette.

She turned around without a second glance before pulling Chat up. She pulled his baton out of his belt and thrust it at him, before using her own yoyo to swing onto the roof.
