Luckybug - a term for those who are lucky little ladybugs, whatever that might mean to the user <3

[teawinx]

Updated Luckybug to match her successor

[mothdotz]

Be on the lookout for bugs!

“I’ll try my best!”

Marinette is a pretty quiet kid… at least to everyone who doesn’t know her. In reality, she’s itching for the chance to explore and create whatever comes to mind! The only problem is that she lacks the confidence to go out and do it. Due to her grandfather’s untimely death, Marinette and her family moved into the home he left in his will. Determined to help her mom in the midst of her grief (and distract herself from life’s sudden changes), Marinette winds up at Professor Ramier’s door as an apprentice! …Too bad her life will be thrown upside down all over again by Ramier’s sudden disappearance and a mysterious surge of magic and fae.

“Awesome!”

Luckybug (/Ladybug) is one of the many superpowered people who showed up in Paris after the magic surge! Unlike the others, however, she pairs up with the infamous Chat Noir in hopes of finding out more about the appearances of faeries and Calamities.

Marinette uses her secret identity as the perfect way to get all her creative juices out while saving the day! Lucky is everything she wished she was: cool, confident, and… wait, what do you mean a lot of Parisians see her and Chat Noir as menaces? They’re not that destructive! Metal and Magic go great together!

Since i cleaned up and re-orginized My Ronpalous Au, I decided to open Q&A about it! Feel free to ask!

[aruaruartcentral]

Meet Luckybug, from my Punk Miraculous Au.

Adrien from this world, is a college student still living at home when the story begins.

His family remains rich, however, a different background to how the show presents Adrien Agreste.

Adrien lives with his father, his father's assistant Nathalié, and his cousin Félix. Felix's mother raised him alone for a good chunk of his life, though he found himself needing to move in with Aunt Emilé when his own mother had passed.

Though what Amilé had, was genetic. So while tragic, it wasn't a total shock with Emilé passed several years later. Everyone in the family grieves the loss a little differently.

Adrien is not neglected in this world, he had a healthy relationship with his father. Any distance more recent, is due to the mourning process.

have any temporary amnesia fics?

I absolutely do !!!

bed chem by ShatterinSeconds (4,388 words, rated T) Keith and Lance both lose their memories and are convinced they're dating. the rest of the team does their best to prevent them from doing anything they'll feel real fucking weird about when they regain their memories

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes by pidgeotto_gunderson (peter_parkerson) (50,013 words, rated T) after Lance is captured by the galra and alive but unconscious, Keith has to dive into his mind and try to bring him back, and finds Lance in an internal fantasy world. I haven't read this one yet but it sounds AMAZING

A Memory Like a Snapshot by MemeKonVLD (MemeKonYA) (10,142 words, rated T) Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship

so much more than space dust by ad_asterism (47,613 words, rated M) a healing pod wipes about 7 months of Lance's memories after he and Keith come back from 3 weeks of being Lotor's prisoners. Lance is trying to figure out just what the hell happened between him and Keith in that cell

Like a Second Heart by aquietdin (20,958 words, rated M) is a post s8 fic where Lance loses about five years of memories, and apparently in those five years he and Allura dated, broke up (she survived the finale in this one!!) and, most surprisingly, he married Keith. this one is precious I adore it

Everything comes back to you by Luckybug (2,534 words, rated T) is one I haven't read but I have heard amazing things about, it's one of the ancient texts. after a battle, Lance wakes up to find that no one on the team remembers him. only Keith seems to notice something's off

enjoy the amnesia angst anon <33

Princess Bee:

Ladybug's plans are crazy in a "How did that work" kind of way. Nothing is straightforward, and so many things need to work right for them to succeed.

Luckybug's plans are crazy in a "How did you know that would work" kind of way. Every step makes sense after the fact, but the amount of obscure knowledge you would need to make that plan in the first place is ridiculous.

YES

[wisteriasymphony]

In your opinion what would be the ideal holders for the miraculous? Since you made an analysis abt how the luckybug miracle team sucks

Y'know, this one is tricky. I think most of the miraculous in TWEOS would not have an "ideal holder", or at the very least their best fit is second-rate at best.

There's also the different trains of thought of:

"an ideal holder is one who uses their abilities the best, working within or even around the constraints of the miraculous to achieve the greatest potential"

versus

"an ideal holder is one who best embodies their kwami's domain".

The former could mean that one person willing to break the limits of a miraculous becomes the ideal holder for all of them, whereas the latter means that each ideal holder is fixed on a rigid set of personality traits or flaws. Both could work, both can also easily fall flat.

All this being said... the only thing I have in mind is that TWEOS!Scarabella would use her Boon for activism. TWEOS!Alya is someone who I would characterize as an activist (very into fighting for truth and justice), so her subconscious influence would be geared towards that instead. Rates of picketing and strikes and general rallying towards good causes would skyrocket even further.

Multimouse could also work (DUH) if Sillynette was willing to give up the ladybug, as I think scatterbrained/easily distracted/multitasking-prone people can adapt well to the multiplication powers and that's always been Marinette to me.

I have been patiently waiting to share this Binderary project!

Only Temporary by Luckybug on AO3 (luckybug.writes over on insta), a Stardew Valley Sebastian x Reader fic that lives in my head rent free.

Armed with the advice of various Renegade Bindery members and a WHOLE lotta luck, I pieced together a sorta three piece Bradel bind on a whim. Shoutout to @rat-juicee, my hype person who got to watch me in real time say 'hey I have a Big Brain™ idea' and then cycle through 'will this work?' -> 'fuck it we ball' -> 'oh noooo did I fuck it up??' CONSTANTLY.

The cover is inspired by kintsugi and the idea that even if something is broken, it can be fixed with enough time, effort, and care - which is relevant to the fic. It's a combination of foil quill - which I am slowly getting better at - and gold sharpie (again, part of the Will This Work? Fuck It We Ball mentality). Without intending to, the cover paper and fabric match which was just the icing on top for me.

Inside, I used a typewriter font for the flashbacks that pop up as well as the title, and I kept to a blue/floral theme that (imo) tied the chapter headers and cover together nicely.

Overall I'm VERY please with how this turned out and I definitely want to look into three piece bradel binds more!

Hello everyone.

Some time ago I made a post here, complaining about the translation of the names from the book series of Kingdom of Fantasy. I read the book in Italian and the names were translated, and it was damn difficult to me to understand who was who.

It needed a guide and I decided to do it. For writing but also for anyone who is curious about the original Italian names and all (it was also asked by @e-adlirez and @rizahawkeye1380 so here we are)

So let's begin. You'll find in red the English names, in blue the Italian ones, in orange the name that stayed the same.

The first book known as The Kingdom of Fantasy, in Italian is called Nel Regno della Fantasia (almost word-to-word translation, "nel" means "in" but we're there). I found a copy of the English book, so I put under there the English names and the Italian names of the characters (I will use the list of the Order of the Fairy Queen):

Geronimo Stilton has the same name in both languages.

Scribblehopper in italian is Scribacchinus Scribacchius (surname and name respectively, both referring to "scrivere" and/or "scribacchiare", that is writing but without much attention). Apparently in the English version there is only one name

Shelly is Fiordalga (literally "flower of seaweed")

Princess Scatterbrain is Principessa Zolfilla (her name refers to "zolfo", in English sulfur)

Trick is Tric (Why did they add a k?)

Factual is Boletus (I don't know what italian word it is referring)

Cozy is Fritillaria (The name refers to frittelle, aka italian sweets)

Giant is Gigante (literal translation)

Blinkette is Lucilla (refers to light so it's good)

It's not in the list but I also add:

Cackle in Italian is Stria (looking for her name I found out that there are changes between the italian and the english version. They added a full line. And changed the one following. Alright I guess?)

Queen Blossom is Regina Floridiana (refers to flowers so it's fine again)

The second book in English is called The Quest for Paradise, while in Italian it's called Secondo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia (literally "second voyage in the Kingdom of Fantasy). They both have a second title apparently: in English is "The return to the Kingdom of Fantasy", in Italian is "Alla ricerca della felicità" (The pursuit of happyness. That's what google translate sais). In Italian it's the only book that has another title, as far as I remember.

Here is the list of the characters:

The Dragon of the Rainbow in Italian is Drago dell'Arcobaleno (literal translation)

Goose Blahblah is Oca Quaquà (in Italian that's the sound geese do. Blahblah is fitting though)

Boils is Pustola (it means pimple)

Snowy Dawn is Nives Albacandida (Albacandida is not just Dawn, it's like candid dawn, but yeah)

Oscar Roach is Oscar Afaggio (that's a pun because in italian cockroach is "scarafaggio"). To those that don't know this, he's deaf (apparently in the English version they just... Deleted that part)

Rocket is Aliseus (the English one doesn't really hit the same to me tbh)

The third book in English is The Amazing Voyage. In Italian is simply Terzo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia (Thirs voyage to the Kingdom of Fantasy). Another thing I didn't mentioned: the English and Italian books have different covers. It's damn confusing.

Here is the list:

King Thunderhorn is Re Robur (the English one is more powerful I see)

Strongheart the Giant is Il Gigante Fortecuore (why the presentation mention a falcon?? I don't have it in italian. What.)

Sterling is Alys

Puss in Boots is Il Gatto con gli Stivali

Horizon is Alghiera (it refers again to seaweed)

Beatrice Bigfoot is Clodovingia Merovea (okay something big happened here)

Not in the list but I add Grim (oh my god what a name), that in Italian is Amarius (referring to Amore that is Love)

The fourth book is called The Dragon Prophecy, in Italian Quarto Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. The new characters are the following:

Sparkle is Scintilla (literal translation)

Bitsy Luckybug is Fortunella Trifoglina (refers to Fortuna, or Luck, and Trifoglio, or clover)

Mixy von Troll or Frullatrulla (It's not really what the name means but okay)

The fifth book is called The Volcano of Fire, in Italian Quinto Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. Here the list of the new names:

Emerald is Laowyn (they could keep it why did they change it)

Professor Longwind is Lapis de' Tromboni (Trombone is the music instrument)

Explanatorium is Tomo Primo (first volume)

Sproutness is Gaja (WHYYYYYYYY)

The sixth book is called The Search for Treasure, in italian Sesto Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. This has a new cast:

Coraline is Fata Acquaria (it's a fairy, acquaria refers to water and aquariums)

Blue Rider is Drago Blu (why isn't he called Blue Dragon??)

Tenderheart is Melissa

Honor is Veridia (it refers to "verità", that means Truth)

Harper is Allegra Garrula (I don't know what Garrula refers to but it's not about harp I think)

Clearfeathers is Bussolino (refers to "bussola" , that is compass)

The witch of this book is called Scorcher, in Italian Vermelia. They kept the name of Azul.

The seventh book is called The Enchanted Charms, in Italian Settimo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. Here is the list of the new characters:

Tessa is L'Antichissima (the ancient-est). She doesn't have an actual name in Italian

Firebeard is Gnomo Barbadifuoco (literal translation)

Blizzard is Lupo Bianco (literally White Wolf)

Crystal is Usignolo di Cristallo (Crystal Nightingale)

The Maiden of the Tapestry is La Fanciulla dell'Arazzo (literal translation)

Sid is Il Calamarone Gigante (literally just The Giant Squid. I can't believe they called him Sid like the Ice Age one)

I add to the list Chatterclaws of the Seven Seas, in Italian Gronghio dei Sette Mari (Gronghio is similar to "granchio", in English crab). The Wizard of the Black Pearl is called like that also in Italian (Il mago della Perla Nera).

The eighth book is called The Hour of Magic, in Italian Ottavo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. Here the list:

Little Princess Buzzy is Principessina Bizzz (pretty accurate)

Queenie is Regina dei Sangueverde (literally Queen of the Greenblood)

Solitaire is Solitario (translated)

Dragon of Time is Drago del Tempo (translated)

Hee Haw is Tic Tac (Tic Tac refers to the sound of clocks, that make sense in the Land of Time. Strange change)

The enemy is Eclipse, in Italian Eclisse.

The ninth book is The Wizard's Wand, in Italia Nono Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. There are only two new characters:

Invisible Cloak is Mantellino Invisibile (in Italian Cloak is Mantello, Mantellino is Little Cloak)

Cleverwing is Corvazzo Corvù (these words are both referring to "corvo", or Crow. The English book says raven, I don't know the difference between the two names)

The enemy here is Longbeard the Wizard, in Italian Mago Barbanera (Wizard Blackbeard).

The tenth book is calked The Ship of Secrets, in italia Decimo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. Here is the list of the new characters:

Sweet Melinda is Melisenda la Dolce

The Dragonfly Princesses is Le Principesse Libellulanti

Wink is Occhiolino (all of these are word to word)

The pirate enemy is Captain Sammy Shorttail, in Italian [Capitano] Rattonero Codamozza (the literal translation should be like "cutted tail black rat"). The actual enemy is calles Whopping Wizard, or Il Magigante in Italian (literally Giant Wizard).

Okay, so, from here we go to the two bigger adventures. The first is called The Phoenix of Destiny: An Epic Kingdom of Fantasy Adventure. In Italian it's called Grande Ritorno nel Regno della Fantasia (literally Great Return in the Kingdom of Fantasy). We don't have a list of characters, but to be fair, Geronimo is basically alone the whole book (in fact I can't really add anyone).

The enemy here is Blossom's sister, Wither, that in Italian is Neridiana (kinda opposite to Floridiana, but refers to Black in the name)

Then we have the second epic adventure. In English is called The Dragon of Fortune, in Italian simply Grande Ritorno nel Regno della Fantasia 2 (we have a lot of imagination with titles, as you can see /sarc). I also notice that these book have the same book cover in both versions, thank god.

Here we have:

The Secret Alliance and its members: Blossom, Mel the Magnificent (Randulf il Magnifico), The Clever Chameleon (Saggio Salamander. Saggio means Wise) and The Lady of Dreams (La Signora dei Sogni).

We have as Geronimo's companion Wolfy, in Italian Lupazia (her friends are called Owlivia, Roxy Foxy and Beartina, aka Civettaria, Vulpilla and Ursula)

Lightbright, the Dragon of Fortune, that in Italian is Luminar, il Drago Stellato (Starry Dragon)

The Ghost Guardian is Il Paladin Fantasma

These are the main ones I think. There are so many characters but this post is already too long.

The next book in English is called The Guardian of the Realm: The Eleventh Adventure in the Kingdom of Fantasy. In Italian this is not the eleventh volume (I guess I'll find it later). In Italian it's called Nel Regno della Fantasia: Il Grande Segreto (The Big Secret).

It's kinda difficult to find the characters. We have from the last book (as enemies) Grosselda Grimwitch (Stregonza Fattucchionza) and Menace, the Chattering Cat (Nerone, il Gatto Chiacchierone).

We have a new enemy that is Crowbar the Cruel, in italian Corvidius degli Oscurissimi (Corvidius refers to crows/ravens again, Oscurissimi is a family name. Oscuro means dark).

Aaaaand we have Blossom's daughter! In English she's called Winglet, in Italian Alina.

The next book is Island of Dragons. In Italian this is the eleventh voyage and it's called Undicesimo Viaggio nel Regno della Fantasia. Again, we don't have the list of characters. If I'm not wrong, we have just two Geronimo's companions and their name are Nibbler, or Rosicchio, and Jazzy, or Gilli.

The enemy is Darkrock, in Italian Petrascura.

The next book in English is called The Battle for Crystal Castle. In Italian it's called L'Impero della Fantasia (The Empire of Fantasy). Again, no list of characters but let's find the new ones:

Flamelet, or Fiammetta

Lorian kept the original name (yay!)

Foxlyn the stingy fox is Volpara la volpe avara

Creasely Wrinkledom is Grinza De Rughis

Mossy is Verdaria (all the names are pretty much translated)

In Italy we also have another volume called I Custodi del Regno della Fantasia, that is a sequel of the one above. I don't think it has been translated in English. No spoilers but I hope you will read it in the future 'cause it has literary characters in there (and an improbable ship!)

Okay, the list have ended. It was HELL and it took me like four hours, but I did it. It's also a useful guide to translate names for fanfictions.

(I did not include here the Chronicles of Kingdom of Fantasy. At least I think it's the name in English. It's the six book series where Geronimo doesn't appear at all and has a more serious writing)

And that's all.

[vrowsa]

some whiteboard doodles of the guys! luckybug. chat noire. ough i love them oh so dearly.

i swear to drop more on my rewrite in the nearish future i just need to. idk. fully flesh out some things. and actually redesign their superhero personas euhghhhh

[lildreamycyclone]

[Miraculous] Seems very cool! What about the relationship between Makoto and Kyoko? Makoto has a crush on Kyoko and Kyoko has a crush on Luckybug?

Makoto and Kyoko are close friends, but has some mutual feelings. Kyoko is a bit shy about these while Makoto tries to keep their relationship platonic.

Luckybug and Miss Noir are just friends, since they don't know their true identities. Miss Noir sometimes gets annoyed with Luckybug being a chatterbox, but they are true partners in crime.

Which question yall have next?

[graythegreyt]

I LOAF YOU GRAY!!! MWUAHAHAHAHA

SOSO EVIL I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HEHEHEHEHEHE.... HUGGING LUCKYBUG FOREVER
