[redtippedfox]

Here they are! Meet Titania and Bleu Celine!

As Marinette grew up as the Chinese zodiac miracle guardian she started connecting more with her Chinese roots. Marinette knows that the Peacock and Butterfly Miraculous are more sideline Miraculouses so she is okay with going all out with her outfits meaning she can really shine her Chinese heritage a little more. Besides Nooroo and Dusuu wanted to show Paris just how amazing their Miraculouses can be while rubbing it in Hawkmoths face as he took the two prettiest Miraculouses and still looked like shit transformed. Though she looks immobile and unable to fight Marinette does have a backup plan. If she needs to fight she can remove her lower parts of her dress and fight.

Bleu Celine: She’s very graceful and and can move very fast, she has peacock knives hidden in her fan and secretly has talons on her hands. Her veil scarf can be removed and used as rope, or even a distraction. She can tie it around her enemy and entangle them in it. Her dress is removable allowing her more speed agility. The mask can be removed if they wearer wishes too.

Titania: She’s mysterious and is never seen in the light and stays in the shadows. She has a soft feeling to her and is warm like the sun. Her sash can be used as a weapon, it can turn sold and stretch if needed to. The Butterfly Miraculous is a sideline Miraculous so all she has to protect herself is a cane/sword. Marinette added in a few more weapons to be safe, Her hairpin can be removed and used as a knife as they are very sharp. That is why she has so many in her hair. Titania wears no mask since she has no identity to hide.

Your eyes dont decieve you! These are the kwamis in Miraculous: Eternal Miracles Au!!! They honestly looked like little bug critters to me

And dont worry, nooroo is NOT suffering in this au!! Hes just a little shit to gabriel

[jacquesthepigeon]

sometimes, i sit down in my little chair, fold my long stick fingers together, gaze into the sun, and ask myself, "how hasn't plagg discovered the whole gabriel = hawkmoth shtick." because look me in the eye and convince me as another human being that plagg, of ALL OF THE KWAMIS, would not be the one to go stick his nose where it shouldn't be and accidentally uncover everything. we have canonical evidence of him screwing around and almost being caught if i'm remembering kwamibuster right, not to mention walls pose 0 issue for him, and i'm gonna press x to doubt on plagg not getting even a twinge of curiosity come wtf gabriel the local manchild who can't parent for shit is doing.

not to mention he's a cat. cats do that. cats will uncover your darkest secrets any day. fear them.

It’s implied through his actions that he simply doesn’t care (despite having the strongest reaction to Nooroo being used) and stannies turn that into an excuse for golden boy not caring and it’s very 🙄 just admit it’s bad writing and sit down

[princess-of-the-corner]

ML Plot Points: Duusu

The thing that must be understood fro this to make sense is that, while pretty much all the miraculi have been broken at some point or another, with the Order around to keep track of them they were always recovered and fixed in a timely manner (the longest any miraculous had been broken before was two months). Considering that kwamis are all around 3000 years old, this is the equivalent of going blackout drunk at a party and waking up with the worlds worst hangover the next day. It's rough, but you can expect to get over it in a short amount of time and with no long term problems.

But that did not happen to Duusu.

When Duusu was broken, the order went down with her. She then spent the better part of the last 200 years broken, being used by and subsequently killing several holders. Not only that, but the last two centuries are the ones in human history where technology has advanced and changed the world the most (in the 1850s the telegram hadn't been invented yet). To use the earlier analogy, this changes the experience from "blackout drunk for a night" to "blackout drunk and when you wake up being told you were comatose for two years but everything around you is Star Trek levels of advanced".

On top of that, because when the Peacock is fixed, Duusu's in the hands of a rich man with all the technology he could ask for, she gets to see the difference first hand.

How does Duusu cope with this particular existential crisis? She latches on to the first familiar thing she can find, Nooroo. 

After all, Nooroo is the nice guy of the Chinese miracle box. Sure, he can hold a grudge sometimes, but he's overall the first one to offer a peaceful solution. Surely she can hang out with him until she gets a grip.

Except... Nooroo really resents the old guardian. Duusu can get that. He did break her miraculous and lose both of them, after all. But still... Duusu doesn't really remember what happened while she was damaged, so she can only didn't have the time to build a grudge and the last thing she remembers of him is a scared child who made a mistake. And he's not even the one who they are fighting right now. He retired. Is this Emilie woman really worth tormenting an entire city? Is it worth fighting literal children?

So Duusu spends the entire season slowly realising that they are, in fact, the baddies. It culminates in Sentibubbler because "holy shit, he just threatened a child and her family because she might have information". Nooroo is also upset at Gabriel about this, but he's already condoned a lot of Gabriel's other actions. He does not have the moral high ground.

Duusu would spend the rest of the season sassing Gabriel and resining the audience that Gabriel is, in fact, an asshole and doing little things to make his day worse. 

Then Felix steals her and she can immediately tell that he's one of her creations. 

She can work with this.

-

Oof to Duusu like that’s gotta be rough

[idleglowingpixels]

So I just watched the Season 5 finale of Miraculous Ladybug, aka what the creator said was the ending he had planned for the show before it got renewed for more seasons, aka the unofficial official ending, and all I have to say is... (DON'T PRESS KEEP READING UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE FINALE OR DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SPOILERS)

I am SO GLAD I don't feel ANY obligation to continue watching the show anymore :') And don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna pull no fan entitlement shit, I think the ending could have been SOOOOOO much worse and for what it is, I'm content with what we got for the majority of it

BUT I also have a right to criticize it, so I will; they really forgot about the most important fucking part, the identity reveal, so Adrien continues to not know the truth and Marinette, the only person who knows what happened, sure as hell won't tell him, he deserves so much fucking better than that

BUT AT LEAST THE FUCKING SENTIADRIEN THEORY GOT DEBUNKED, THEY CONFIRMED HE WAS ACTUALLY BORN, NOT CREATED WITH THE PEACOCK MIRACULOUS, AND FELIX WAS THE ONLY SENTIMONSTER OF THE TWO, ISTG I FELT THE SAME SATISFACTION AS I HAD WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED ME ABOUT GABRIEL BEING HAWKMOTH BACK BEFORE SEASON 2 CAME OUT, STAY APPARENTLY DELULU GIRLIES BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS END UP BEING RIGHT

(Okay coming back to this part, check the comments!! I got a little excited when I initially posted this haha. I think at this point it's just up to interpretation -- Felix was the only one of the two outright confirmed but you could argue either side for Adrien still. Also I don't hate the idea of Senti-Adrien, I just know the show would do a terrible job executing it because they'd never have Adrien know the truth. Poor kid keeps having to live without knowing what truly happened just makes me sad :( It could also leave him vulnerable to attacks and stuff, that's one of those things he deserves to know if it's ever explicitly canon y'know???)

Also bless Nooroo, he deserved a happy ending too :( Slay for Lila tho, I figured she was gonna become the next Hawk Moth/Papillon

So anyway, about that Miraculous Ladybug rewrite I was gonna do --

[artzychic27]

So if Monarch and Prince Paon met this alternate user of the butterfly miraculous:

How would they rate her style? Left side is civilian form, and right is villainess outfit.

And don’t worry, Nooroo is treated properly by her. They’re both little gremlins when working together to come up with akuma ideas. Also Nooroo is slowly teaching her the human decency and kindness her family never did.

Prince Paon/Monarch: …

Monarch: … Okay, honey… Love the hat and shoes. I love those? The rest, though?… No, sweetie. So, let’s build off of those, yeah?

Prince Paon: The dress? Nu-uh, no. Flying over people in a dress is something we cannot have. And don’t worry, we’re not doing function over fashion, we’re doing both. Let’s replace the dress with a three piece suit a nice shade of purple.

Monarch: Oh, and let’s have the top be black with a sweetheart neckline and finished off with some black mesh.

Prince Paon: Yes! Perfect! The jacket should flare out into a tailcoat as well, down to your knees, of course. Now as for the wings and ribbon, nope and nope.

Monarch: Visualize with us dear- A black sash tied around your waist and finishing off into a bow that looks like a pair of wings!

Prince Paon: Love your mind, sweetie. Of course, we keep the hat, but make it darker, and there you have a modern aristocratic villain look. Oh, and the veil? Put it on the hat.

Monarch: Yes! I love that! And replace those demon heels with a wedge. That is how you will ruin your ankles forever. Now the mask… It’s so basic, so I’d add a few purple rhinestones along the sides.

Prince Paon: And we are done.

Charlotte: *Checking out her new look* Holy shit, I look great.

Monarch: Yay! So glad you love it! Now, if you’ll excuse us. *Notices a blur of pink off into the distance* We have a certain pig’s outfit to critique. Hey, Hamilton! D-don’t you run from me!

[gamerknight7310]

Never fear @celestiall0tus this flightless avian with a gun is here to aid you with your cause. I'm still doing my little what-ifs on the side, but fuck I need a little break from it, and what better way to get the brain juices flowing than rare gems of ships and kwami pairings. I already threw out Marinette & Juleka being a cute couple, but another one that I don't really see a lot of, but could work is Adrien & Rose (I also just realized I switched two couples around lol). Those are the only ones I'll submit for now cause I want to focus on the kwami pairings (I don't usually focus too much on love but I do like the power). I'll only do the characters you listed cause I don't know who else is planning to appear. The first one I said was Juleka & Nooroo because I would like to think he would help her come out of her "cocoon" and help her become a more confident person. I also said that Marinette & Luz would be a good pairing due to the simple fact that she hates liars and Luz is the concept of Honesty, and it's a pairing I'm surprised you haven't used yet. I have to shout out @bakawitch for this pairing being Rose & Psyche cause I can see it (also ignore that I mixed up her power and Fluffs), but yeah with Rose's helpful nature and the fact that with this power she would better know how to help them without overwhelming them plus I want to see her chuck a spear at someone lol. Okay hear me out on this one, I think Adrien & Corbin (only if Emilie is dead) would be a phenomenal pairing. Think of all the times Adrien in the show was a sad little bean a lot if you haven't noticed hell even in the movie he was an all-sad boy, so let's give him sad boy powers (bonus if Gabriel gets Daizzi for how neglectful he is of Adrien). Now for the double trouble, Zoe and Chloe this one was a doozy. Originally I was gonna say Zoe & Trixx due to her being a "social chameleon", but we already have ourselves a "maestro" already, so I thought a little more on it and thought "Huh has Zoe & Kaalki been paired before?" and sure enough they haven't. This pairing could be Zoe's longing to be free from control from her family (honestly don't blame her) and I feel like she & Kaalki would get along. Now onto Regina George herself, this one wasn't hard at all… Mill. Chloe with the Ant is almost poetic her having the power to make people into mindless puppets for her to boss around it was too good to pass on I also wanted to see some love for Mill. Okay I lied, I have one more pairing cause every Regina George needs her Gretchen Wieners, so I propose Sabrina & Mullo this one was also a no-brainer. That's all I can provide my liege so good tidings as I crawl back into the abyss from whence i came from.

[black-rose-writings]

MLB - Season 2 - Episodes 18 and 19

Style Queen (Queen's Battle 1)

I do love that Marinette is still idolizing Gabe. Poor baby is in for a nasty surprise.

And here we see the reason why Chloé is the way she is, the second worst character in the entire show (after Lila). Like, sure Gabriel is the villain, but he's a sympathetic villain. Those two are just cunts for no observable reason.

I love Nathalie over there ub the background just looking around for Marinette. (And also how Tikki immediatelly goes vzoom, right into the pigtails).

Fucking hell, Gabe knows this woman so well... and he probably fucking loathes her, just based on the way she talks about him.

Look how smug Nathalie is about it.

Hate to break it to you, Gabe, but you should have expected that one.

Never thought I'd say this, but poor Chloé.

Gabe finally asking the real questions.

Queen Wasp (Queens' Battle 2)

Gabe: "I'm about to do the right thing. For about 3 seconds."

Also, I have not yet seen anything past season 3 (or any of the specials), this is the point of this rewatch, but the way he talks really makes it sound like Emilie wanted that. Like she wanted him to go the villain route when the Miraculous killed her. Like the plan always was "if everything else fails, do terrorism". And I honestly think it would have been a much more interesting route to go down.

Aww, look at Gabenath being soft.

"He actually left his house. OMG."

The look on his face. He soooo hates her. Double, now, because she almost killed his son (with his help, but who's counting(he does that's why he's left the fucking house)).

Aaand, there goes his attempt at not being a complete piece of shit.

That slit second of hope on Nooroo's face. Poor little guy.

And Chloé is out there, doing classic hero complex shit.

His unhinged expressions are so funny.

I think fallen hero is a bit of generous term.

Bonk!

Fucking christ, Marinette has known Audrey for one (1) day and she's already got her read.

Poor Nathalie. She has to deal with so much bullshit.

[gameguy20100]

*Adrien visiting Gabriel in jail*

Adrien:I brought Nooroo here because he wanted something to say to you. Go ahead little buddy.

Nooroo:*clears throat* …Go to hell,you shitty excuse of a fashion designer. I hope you suffer a punishment worse than death itself

Nooroo:*turns to a proud Adrien* Ok, I’m done.Can we get ice cream now?

Adrien: Yes we can buddy.

Gabriel: But the sugar!

Adrien: Eat shit you washed up prick! *middle finger*

(At the ice cream cart.)

Nooroo: This looks good. *proceedes to eat the entire tub of raspberry ripple.*

Adrien: Uh I'll pay for that. Sorry, he's been though a lot.

[bigfatbreak]

Wait does Tom saying Audrey needs to pay child support for Zoe mean she needs to pay Andre, or did Tom adopt Zoe to have an extra barrier between Chloe and Marinette?

It's both a little more simple than that, and a little more complicated, too. Essentially when Tom decided he was going to take Chloe to court for her various bullshit, he decided to look into what other shit her family might be hiding, in the hopes of adding more pressure.

(In this AU at least, I really couldn't find confirmation in any real sources) Zoe is an illegitimate child Aubrey had while in New York, and since she's such an influential person, the father figure decided to settle out of court, as trying to wrench something like child support payments or any sort of supplemental care from an asshole who's also a millionaire seemed impossible. Tom decided to make contact with Zoe and her dad in the hopes of essentially double-teaming the Mayor's family.

It's technically how Zoe and Marinette met in this AU.

A sort of "butterfly effect" (hehe) happens when Tom uses Nooroo to gather information for both their cases, leaving these two to bond on and off. Marinette at her core is still very, very wary, (as this is during the mourning process, Sabine had passed away recently during this time) but she's also kind, which strikes a chord with Zoe, who's constantly changing facades to try and appeal to those around her. It's hard to change yourself to be what someone wants if they never let slip what they want.

Because of this, we're not going to see Zoe really in this AU, as when she eventually heads back to New York with her dad, her time with Marinette has helped her try to establish her own personality with her own wants. Hanging out with a mysterious, kind baker girl who's overworked but still makes time for you does a lot for a baby lesbian, and she manages to make and keep friends.

She does send Marinette letters and emails though, and they text on and off - Zoe still harbors a crush on her, but to Marinette, Zoe is just a good friend : )

Miraculous Timey Wimey Lore: Kwamis

—————————————————————————————-

Kwami Headcanon: Tikki (Creation)

Kwamis are ancient eldritch Gods that ruled over the Heavens for years, Tikki is one of the very first Eldritch God to ever be born, created from the Big Bang of the Universe. Tikki is the other half of the God of Destruction, Plagg, her and Plagg have been together since the beginning of time. Though Tikki will not ever admit it she and Plagg are indeed in love but she won’t ever admit it since Plagg and her are always separated due to their holders. Tikki may look like a responsible Goddess but she is actually very irresponsible and while she loves following the rules she can appreciate a little chaos from here, she is actually very fond of Marinette’s clumsiness especially when it creates a little bit of chaos.

Tikki loves sweets, likes every types of sweets, from strawberry short cake to chocolate pudding, although she loves chocolate chip cookies more than anything, Tikki was very happy when she found out that Marinette lived in a bakery where delicious treats are served everyday. Tikki is very curious about the human world and enjoys learning about new things. She adores Marinette’s creativity when it comes to her fashion and her creations.

All of the seasons were created by Tikki

Spring is the season that belongs to Tikki, the season of Love was created by Tikki so her Ladybugs could find love and so humans could have a season of love. During Spring she is energetic, chatty, and an absolute matchmaker. She loves giving Marinette proper love advice and tries her best to help Marinette understand her feelings for Adrien and even help her realize her feelings for Chat Noir.

During winter she becomes slow, tired and less energetic, she is supposed to go into hibernation till the next spring but thanks to humans warm technology she is able to be kept warm and therefore does not have to go into hibernation. Even though winter is a bad season for her it is a time of warmth and love, the winter may be freezing but Tikki made sure it looked beautiful.

Fall is another season, while spring is Tikki’s favorite season fall is Tikki’s second favorite. As the leaves fade away and make way for winter Tikki it to show off the beauty of the falling of the leaves.

Summer is a time of fun and relaxation, it’s not Tikki’s favorite due to the heavy heat but she still cherishes the season

Tikki likes to use the word “Fuck”, its her favorite human curse word, “Shit” is her second favorite human curse word.

Tikki adores Alya and Nino, and dreams of being able to properly meet both of them

Tikki will come up with mischievous plans with Plagg to get Adrien and Marinette together

Tikki can get very jealous and possessive of Marinette especially when it comes to Marinette wearing or using other Miraculouses. Tikki punched Mullo after Kwamibuster when the mouse kwami kept teasing her.

Tikki can be very impulsive sometimes

Tikki has the ability to grant blessings on people but she can also create curses as well

Tikki will sometimes cry at night, hoping that one day her brothers and sisters would be safe and Nooroo and Dussu would return to them

Tikki is a little shit sometimes

Tikki has a whole wardrobe made by Marinette just for her, she doesn’t like sharing any of it.

————————————————————————————————-

Tikki’s old form was bland and didn’t have a lot of black, she didn’t look much like a Ladybug but that’s what Fu thought of her, after he became Guardian Tikki was stuck in that form for over 300 years, Fu only saw the kwamis as creatures that had to be locked away from the world so they didn’t have a lot of animalistic parts of the animals that they represented since they haven’t been free in 300 years and Fu didn’t see them as Gods with animal tendencies so they looked nothing like their animals.

When a new Guardian is chosen the kwamis change their forms to match how their Guardian sees them and to fit their Guardians soul. When Marinette became Guardian the kwamis forms changed and they got to have more animalistic parts. Tikki was given more black on her body to represent being a Ladybug, her tails even got bigger rather than smaller, she even had a pink glow around her, Marinette’s soul allowing them to be more free and God-like than trapped like Fu.

[trishacollins]

Adrien's giddiness at his sucess carried them through dinner, piano practice and showers.

His father had been too busy grinding out commentary about the stunt Felix had pulled to even object to it.

If he had known that was all it would take, he would have jumped in traffic earlier. Tourists were always ignoring their own safety.

"I can't belive I get to go." Adrien flopped on his bed, sighing deeply. "This is the best day of my life."

He could rain on Adrien's parade, but it was honestly adorable to feel and see. It was just school- Felix had been going to school his entire life - but Adrien had never been allowed 'normal' things like that.

He went to sit on his own bed, intending to read and provide a captive audience - but there was something hard on his pillow. "What's this?"

"Did you steal it?" Adrien asked, popping up.

Felix scowled at his cousin. "Something strange appears in our room and your first assumption is that I stole it?"

Adrien raised an eyebrow. "Felix, when you first moved in, we stole a bed from the guest room. And furniture. And clothes."

"Your father didn't want us to share a room. Extreme messurss were required to show him the error of his ways." Felix shrugged. "I've never seen this before."

"Chloe was over earlier. Maybe she left it up here?" Adrien reached for it, but Felix swatted his hand away.

"Mine." He told him, picking up the box and opening it.

And immediately dropped it when a light shot out.

Adrien jerked back, nearly falling.

"A kwami." Felix breathed.

"A what?" Adrien asked, facinated as he stared at the tiny cat.

The cat looked skeptical, glancing between them. "Twins, huh?"

"A kwami, like Duusu and Nooroo." He glanced at Adrien, but the names didn't seem to jog anything - Adrien felt blank and uncomprehending at the other end of their link.

"Wait, you know Duusu and Nooroo?" The kwami darted forward.

"We grew up with them. They were always there. Your dad made you dolls that looked like them so we could take pictures with them because you were always carrying Nooroo around.."

"Do you know where they are?" The kwami asked urgently.

He was torn for a moment, desperate to press at Adrien's mind and find where the blocks were - equally ingrained was listening to a Kwami. "I haven't seen them in years. Not since Adrien's mom got sick."

The kwami deflated slightly. "Oh. But they were together?"

"Yeah. I think...probably they got handed to one of their friends. But they were there when we were kids, Nooroo was always getting carried around. He'd sing you to sleep."

Thr Kwami’s face was strange, a little wistful. "He sang for you?"

He nodded. "All the time."

"Shit." The kwami darted back to the box and the ring. "Look. Look. We gotta focus."

"You really don't remember?" Felix could feel the distress coming from Adrien and knew he was echoing it with his own.

"No." Adrien's voice was a whisper.

"When you were four, you hid a piece of birthday cake to share with them because your dad said they couldn't go to the party. Nooroo convinced you to give him your first tooth."

"He did?" The kwami asked.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Felix demanded.

"Well, first off. Tone." The kwami studied him. "Name's Plagg, I am the Kwami of distruction."

Felix stared at him.

"That sounds cool." Adrien ventured.

Felix huffed, heading into the closet and coming back with an armful of a box. It had at one time been a cigar box, but Adrien had stolen it for important momentos he didn't want being gotten rid of.

He knew the dolls were in there. "Duusu used to get scared of fake Duusu." He explained. "But Nooroo always just seemed happy that you missed him." They were just as he remembered them, tiny enough to be clutched in a hand. Delicate stitches. Perfect copies of the real things.

Gabriel had spent time on them.

"I'm Adrien, he's Felix. You were on his bed." Adrien said softly, tracing his fingers over the butterfly mobile. "This made music."

"No. Nooroo sang." He glanced at Plagg, questioning.

"Nooroo sings." Plagg agreed. "Very well, honestly. He always had an amazing singing voice."

Felix nodded. "You really don't remember?"

Adrien shook his head. "I remember the dolls, and the music. But nothing else."

"We're doing this in the wrong order." Plagg repeated. "One of you has been chosen. To be my kid. And probably Tikki's chosen is wandering around out there waiting for us."

Felix and Adrien exchanged a look.

"Should we ask my dad? About Nooroo and Duusu?" Adrien asked cautiously.

"No. We can't trust him. If you're forgetting things..." Felix took a deep breath. "It's easier. For me."

Adrien looked wistful. "It would be fun."

"It's very fun." Plagg agreed.

"Right." Felix glanced between them.

"It was left on your bed. It was meant for you." Adrien felt wistful over the link, but resolved.

"Which one of you met with the guardian?" Plagg asked. "I've never had twins before."

"Who is the guardian?" Adrien asked.

"Old chinese guy."

Felix grimaced. "That was me, then. He tried to get hit by a car."

"He didn't talk to you?" Plagg scrubbed his face. "This is great."

Felix couldn't have agreed more.

*~*

Plagg had worked him through how to find the holder of the other Miraculous- which was not intuitive but Plagg seemed to think it would be fine.

He landed on the roof of Notre Dame, peering down at the girl in the courtyard.

She seemed to be trying to figure out her weapon, nervous as she shifted around.

He blinked slowly, letting himself observe for a moment before jumping down.

She squeaked and threw her weapon at him - he batted it aside reflexively.

"Who are you supposed to be?" She demanded.

"Cath Plaug." He retorted, stepping closer. "Who are you?"

"Um. L-Ladybug? When did you have time to come up with a name?" She asked.

"My kwami told me I needed to come up with a mask, that our identity needed to be protected." He explained.

"Right. Of course." She looked uneasy. "I was trying to convince her that she was wrong. So I only caught a little bit of what she told me. We are supposed to...to be looking for..."

"The butterfly holder. Whoever they are." Felix told her.

"Right. Or else there will be a disaster."

Nooroo had been active for almost twenty year, at least. There was no disaster. Why now? What were tgey doing here now?

"Right." He agreed, instead of arguing. "I asked a lot of questions."

"At least one of us did." She grimaced. "So these. Butterflies. They're..."

Something moved in the shadow, and the hair on the back of his neck stood straight up. "Move over here."

"What?" She didn't move, but whatever was behind her did.

Reflex made him shoot forward, tackling her out of the way.

"Oh sh-" she breathed against his chest, just before they hit the ground.

And after that, it was too fast for more than reacting.

[vavandeveresfan]

Gorizilla Part 1.

Posting one of my favorite episodes when Miraculous Ladybug was still good, because there’s so much good about it.

We see the relationship, and lack thereof, between Adrien and Gabriel.  It shows how observant Gabriel is; he notices his son’s ring’s resemblance to Cat Noir’s.

I love that Gabriel has the Ladyblog bookmarked.

I wish the animators had decided whether his hair was silver or blond.  Or is it blond that looks silver in certain light?  Or the other way around??

It also shows the reality of being a celebrity in today’s world: there’s no fucking escape.  Adrien just wants to be outside, having a normal life, but he’s recognized and hounded everywhere.  But there’s a great set-up with the #1 stalker-fan that pays off in the plot.

Personally I don’t care for how ditzy Marinette gets about Adrien, but at least she gets her shit together when she’s Ladybug.  But this segment shows how she’s clever; she figures out how to hide Adrien in plain sight in the dry fountain.

We also get to see more of The Gorilla and the abuse the poor guy suffers.  Really makes you wonder why he’s so loyal to Gabriel.

The little exchange between Gabriel and Nooroo shows they communicate not just on a master-kwami basis.

[princess-of-the-corner]

What is Red Velvet Au?? I've picked up things like Tom has the Cat Miraculous, Chloe has Nooro and Mari has Duusu. But really what is happening in this Au????

Reverse on the Tom part!

So! First change to the AU is that the Black Cat was lost with the Butterfly and Peacock. So Gabriel initially had all three. But he decided to use the Cat. In part because 'if I use the Cat then as soon as I get the Ladybug, then I can make the Wish then and there'. Cat!Gabriel uses the name Tuxedo(like a tuxedo cat)

Marinette was supposed to be Ladybug, but her dad comes up to her room with her for whatever reason when she finds the box Fu left. Tom is like 'Hey, I'm sorry, my daughter is a literal child so no she's not going to be the leader in this. I'm doing it instead'. His name is Red Velvet because it's a cake.

Fights between them are somewhat kind of their own thing usually seperate from the Civilian Plots because there are no Akumas. It's Tuxedo showing up to get Red Velvet's attention, they fight for a while until Tuxedo decides to retreat for whatever reason, and RV fixes the damage. Neither really makes much headway.

Now. Back in the Agreste Mansion, Plagg decides to be a little shit. So he hides the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculous in the last place Gabriel would look. Which is Adrien's room.

Adrien finds the brooches, but has no idea that they're Magical. He thinks they must be regular jewelry from his father's line. But Adrien isn't big on brooches and decides to just gift them rather than let them sit in the back of his closet.

Adrien gives one to Chloé, as they're childhood friends, and the other to Marinette, as he has a crush on her and gifts are nice!

Marinette does realize the brooch she gets is Magical when Duusu appears. She brings the Kwami and the broke Miraculous to her dad, and then they go to Fu. Fu fixes the Peacock, and asks Duusu about the Black Cat and Butterfly, since they were lost together. But Duusu doesn't really remember much.

Marinette does investigate the Agrestes since she got the brooch from Adrien, but there's nothing conclusive and tbh Gabriel totally uses her as a fake alibi of 'let's use holograms and pre-recorded video calls to make her think I'm here while Tuxedo is out and about'.

Seeing as this is the second time a Miraculous has fallen into her hands, Marinette feels like the Universe is sending her a sign that she should be in this fight. Tom is still initially against it, but one of the Peacock's lesser-used aspects comes into play.

The Peacock user can create a Sentimonster that has no true AI to it, and is just a body that they can basically astral project into and puppet. So the real Marinette would be safe, while the Sentimonster is on the field. Said Sendimonster can also be given powers, and Mari decides to base them off the rest of the Miraculous. So we have a Senti!Fox, a Senti!Bee, so on and so forth. However, the whole time Marinette uses the name Mockingbird as her Hero Name.

Now we hop back over to Chloé, who got the Butterfly!

She doesn't know what's happening. Nooroo can only tell her so much since he's still under previous user's (both Gabriel's and the Order's) instruction not to divulge too much info. This could be broken if she asked the right questions, but she doesn't know the right questions.

Anyway. She now gets Nooroo as a kind of friend. Who is kind and gentle and honestly parent-like which she very much needs.

But also. The Butterfly Miraculous has a passive empathy power. Which kickstarts her redemption arc. Half because she realizes how much she's hurting others since she can literally feel it, and half because she can now feel when someone in class is upset and she'll go 'you being upset is making me feel upset and I cannot handle this so we're going to fix your shit right now!'.

While Chloé will sometimes do some nighttime parkour and, if she runs across something, occasional vigilantism, she doesn't join as a Hero until during what would be the Queen's Battle Trilogy. Where, after the whole incident with realizing her mom doesn't love her, Chloé is having a Bad Time™ and decides she doesn't want to be 'herself' right now so she goes hopping around the rooftops in broad daylight.

Naturally that catches the attention of both Hero and Villain. Everyone shows up and while RV and Tuxedo fight, Mockingbird drags Butterfly!Chloé off to ask her shit. While she's very hesitant to tell the Heroes anything, not her identity, how she got her Miraculous, or even how old she is, she does choose the name 'Monarch' and decides to join RV and Mockingbird's side.

Tom doesn't know what's up with Monarch, but he can see that she's a kid who needs a place to feel safe and get some good parental guidance so as Red Velvet he just. Slowly tries to give her that and practically adopts her as another daughter.

Gabriel has not yet connected Monarch to the Butterfly Miraculous, or realized that the Mockingbird he fights is a Sentimonster being puppeted rather than a girl switching out which Miraculous she uses.

Been messing around with a HtTYD AU idea but all I really got so far is Plagg = Toothless (this is unchangeable and where the AU started, they’re both little gremlin shits, but both do also love their human friend in the end), which makes Adrien = Hiccup, so Marinette should probably = Camicazi, and Tikki = Stormfly (could get some Plikki mileage out of this is we acknowledge Toothless’s crush on Stormfly)

This got me thinking that that means Sabine = Big Boobied Bertha, and plants Gabriel as Stoick the Vast (and Emily as Valhallarama (of the White Arms and Chunky Thighs)), and Felix as Snotlout

But that’s only if we’re sticking canon relation to canon relation.

If it’s just universe and setting:

Gabriel/Hawkmoth definitely is taking on the role of Alvin the Treacherous and Mayura sort of filling in for Excellinor.

Adrien No-Name is Adopted by Marinette’s tribe, the Burnemups (or something along those lines), after washing up on their shores in a basket as a baby (he’s found with a set of silver rings, like fishleg’s necklace, I like evil couple romance so I think the motive for dumping him would be Emily, Gabriel didn’t want to bother with a kid, so they dumped him on Nathalie who was like “Fuck , idk what to do with a kid” so she tossed him and some semi valuable trinkets he might be able to use for cash if he survived into a basket and chucked him into the sea.

Marinette would be heir to the Burnemups, and loved by her parents, but not so popular among the rest of the tribe, who, while they like Tom and Sabine’s current rule, would prefer the Chiefdom transfer to someone a but more decisive and commanding. Someone like Chloé, who despite being a horrible person, is very good at making people do what she wants and advertising herself to the people.

Alya would be a member of the neighboring Beastly Brawlers (or something to that effect), who they meet in a similar fashion to Camicazi. She’s working on creating an information system between the tribes in the archipelago. A news system you might say.

Nino is a member of Marinette’s tribe. He’s training himself to be a musician, he practices some in public, but always the more chaotic noisy stuff. The other more melodic things he okays in secret. Adrien found him practicing once when they were younger and he sometimes joins him now to either listen or try his hand at some instruments.

Marinette’s hunting dragon = Tikki

Riding dragon = Mullo perhaps? Or maybe something equivalent to her new mini scooter.

Adrien’s hunting dragon = Plagg

Riding Dragon = Nooroo (because of Windwalker’s disabilities. Nooroo escaped from Gabriel/used to be his dragon, and eventually found his way to the Burnemups’ island. He’s pretty banged up and very skittish with other humans, but with lots of patience and kindness he’s open to working with Adrien)

Alya’s hunting Dragon = Trixx

Nino’s hunting Dragon = Wayzz
