#loveybug au

[sizzleissues]

I like avoiding doing things - so HERE’S FEM!CATWALKER. Which of course means I have an excuse to give a character puffy sleeves. I’ve come to realise I love puffy sleeves. I swear I did like several design versions and didn’t immediately go for this. A cloak was considered.

Also loveybug is a complete visual juxtaposition to everything. Hello @asukiess - this is for you and your insane lovey themed au’s.

“Average Parisian falls in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng 3 times per year” factoid actually just statistical error. Average Parisian only falls in love with Marinette once. Face-Blindness Adrien, who cannot tell the difference between her identities and falls in love with 6 Marinettes per day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Sooooooo

I may or may not have discovered the loveybug au (concept by @pisoprano @blur0se and @asukiess from my understanding). I thought it would be fun to take my own crack at loveybug’s suit design :)

(If you noticed I reposted this with a higher quality photo- no you didn’t)

Hey guys new AU just dropped!

Sketchbook spread of Chat Walker and Loveybug.

@asukiess, @pisoprano and @blur0se combined their powers to create a new AU and instantly gave me brainrot. I have been obliterated.

This is who I've become

I think everyone was onto something with Loveybug. Now you may wonder, why didn’t I draw the bottom of the design, well that’s simple. I didn’t want to. I already redrew everything 20 times T-T

Anyway was inspired by a bunch of space girl futuristic aethestic stuff and sailor moon for her design. Basically she has a massive bow at the back and the ribbons tie around her leg and kinda stick out at the end. I kind think it would be cool if instead of a yo-yo it was a spool of ribbon. Idk, i think the pig miraculous has a monopoly on the manic adorable energy XD (but actually a ladybug/pig fusion would just be Loveybug, literally. Omg)

When she appears at first every one is like “She can’t be an akuma because she’s too nice but like- she’s so unserious.”

little miss lovey 💌

(loveybug au by lots of people and explained beautifully by @asukiess in this post!)

[lighthousegod]

My (rough) take on the post above, I can’t decide if i like loveybug or lady lovebug better smh.

But anyway yeah I wanted to play heavily on the waxing poetically about her beloved thing, lots of sailor moon/tuxedo mask inspo

Also wanna shout out @anna-scribbles and their design for loveybug, it was the first one I saw and it def inspired me!

Thinking about the symmetry of Catwalker and Loveybug.

Yes, they’re both just a version of their civilian selves, but those versions have been pushed to extremes. For Catwalker, he’s the embodiment of perfection and doing what he’s told, but Adrien the civilian often pushes back against being controlled. For Loveybug, she the embodiment of daydreams and affection, but Marinette the civilian is often gets in her own way of fulfilling her romantic dreams.

But these two aren’t just mirroring their own civilian selves, they’re also mirroring their superhero partner. Like Ladybug, Catwalker is focused on the mission above all else and tries to be professional. Like Chat Noir, Loveybug wears her heart on her sleeve and indulges in grand romantic gestures at inappropriate moments.

And this new version of the heroes is simultaneously all their partner thinks they want, and yet not at all what they truly need. Catwalker can help her carry her burdens, but he can’t be the partner who knows Ladybug well enough to be her best friend. Loveybug can shower him with affection, but she can’t be the partner Chat Noir knows well enough to love him for the real him.

And even when you remove the partner they know from the equation and just have it be Catwalker and Loveybug, they still find themselves drawn to each other. Loveybug knows from prior experience that Catwalker is a total sweetheart and is exactly the sort of boy she’d drool over if she didn’t have Chat Noir and/or Adrien. Catwalker knows from prior experience that Loveybug is totally lovey-dovey and is exactly the sort of girl he’d want to have close to him if he didn’t have Ladybug and/or Marinette.

And both are internally screaming just being transformed like this. Catwalker is stressed over having to force himself to conform to a strict standard for Ladybug’s approval, but he thought that having this clean slate would let him be by her side after facing rejection. Loveybug is stressed that letting loose on her emotions so much will be lead to a mortifyingly embarrassing rejection, but she thought that having this clean slate would let her act on her feelings for once without having to worry about long term consequences.

And in our scenario where Catwalker and Loveybug have become partners, it’s only a matter of time before they both crack from pushing their identities to their limits (her from showing a boy more love than her comfort zone has ever allowed, him from restraining himself from reciprocating the love he desperately wants). And once those cracks finally show? Then they’ll be able to see—just a bit more fully—who their partner has been hiding under the mask all this time.
