Trixie as Lucky Bug

After a lot of consideration i chose Trixie for the title role

For you who only have a short while to look at the "art" I'll start with that and dump my way too deep thoughts underneath but first a little context. I based them all on random character bits i found in my time in the fandom so i hope it all makes sense

As a smart, naturally curious, young woman in an always moving household filled with only men Trixie quickly learned that these traits are not cool. Already as a child the playful bullying from her older brothers lead her to play up the tough tomboy, god forbid anyone found out she enjoyed learning. One day she wakes up to find Lazytown completely emptied of adults.

Showing a knack for planning and reasoning she gets chosen to become the owner of the Ladybug Miraculous

For now, also have some of the references i used. I hope that'll clear some things up that my drawing doesn't convey too well

Side note, I haven't decided if i want her to actually be non-binary or not but in any case i think she wouldn't be too comfortable being called mister or lady after years of denial of even being a girl in the first place

In this version of events it was Trixie who moved into town later on in her teen years so she is a little more removed from the others. Hopefully that'll make sense in the more detailed description below

Design notes:

Two pig tails for antenna - i doubt she'd still have that same hairstyle in her civilian design, but as a callback to the show and fitting the animal theme i thought they'd look good and with thw undercut it doesn't look too childish

Climbing shoes - i wanted to give her flexible and funktional shoes, this worked out perfectly as the shape of these also kinda resembles the feet of a ladybug

Black plates on front - i really wanted to give a nod to the completely black belly of ladybugs amd even though the suit is magic and indestructible i think she'd feel cool with a more armored suit

Back: wing shape - with the belly symbolized i couldn't not shape out the wings a little more. In canon of Miraculous Ladybug the costumes are simple and effective, i am not. It's way more extra than it had to me

Black gloves - though part of the suit they are shaped like a tab for archery, technically this style is called a three fingered shooting glove but semantics. I know the Lucky Charm power gives each Ladybug a random object they can most effectively solve the given problem with so i figured Trixie would have an increased chance of giving a shooting based object

More piercings - i figured if and when Trixie got her ears pierced she'd go all the way and get a lot more than just the standard lobe piercings where the Miraculous are placed

Reasoning:

Trixie is a very underrated character in my opinion, she went from the deepest character in the first musical to being barely existent in the show. One of my first thoughts was to give her the black cat as the power of destruction definitely would fit her recent characteristics best but overall i think the power of creation is in good hands with her. Thoughtful, inventive, adaptable and clever are exactly the traits the Ladybug Miraculous Holder needs and i think Zrixie fits this description best

Story:

Her family hopped through many towns throughout Trixie's life so when she arrived in Lazytown in her teen years she really liked her new school mates but had no real hope of staying around long enough for them to become actual friends; especially with her rather rough attitude. The others were definitely friendly with her but she just couldn't fully see herself as part of this group.

As she wakes up one day to discover all adults, including her older brothers, gone her first thought actually is that they left for another town and left her behind. Seeing the house and even the car abandoned and not cleaned out she knows that's not the case though. Regardless she spends the first few days in complete freedom to do whatever she wants, that being staying at home and reading and learning as much as she can now that nobody is around anymore to judge her for it. When the food runs thin at home she goes out for supplies she realizes the entire town is empty. Now worried about the people she'd closest consider her friends she wanted to bring her new supplies home thwn go look for the other teens.

She finds the others save and grouped together, learning they only didn't get her because nobody knew where she lived. When she gets back home the box with the ladybug miraculous is in her room and Tikki, her Kwami and new friend explains a little of the situation

Thank you so much for your attention, this is by far not all i thought of but with every word i feel more and more guilty over how long this is getting. I sincerely hope you enjoyed my rambling and thanks again

Tbh polnareff didn't have to stay with the crusaders (and honestly after the harrassment n treatment he gets who would?) But he chose to stay to help the fight dio.

Because he believes in getting back at dio for the amount of pain n shit he went through.

But honestly. If i was him.

I would be more pissed at the crusaders for the amount of distrust they had in him.

Yes. Im going there. Warning. Pissed off and put in big and bold and mentions of the events of polnareffs past will be censored for the safety of your sake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No offense. I love all my crusaders boys very much. All of them are special to me.

But......

THEY DON'T HAVE TO TREAT POLNAREFF LIKE GARBAGE BECAUSE THEY FOR SOME FUCKING REASON HELD A GRUDGE AT POLNAREFF FOR BEING STUPID BACK IN INDIA! KAKYOIN GOT FLESHBUDDED TOO. AND THEY QUESTIONED HIM ONCE BUT OH NO. ITS PERFECTLY FINE BECAUSE OOPS IT TURNED OUT IT WAS AN IMPOSTER. BUT POLNAREFF? NO WE CAN'T TRUST HIM BECAUSE HE LEGIT HAD A TRAUMATIC RESPONSE AND SAID MEANY THINGS TO US. LOOK MY MAN WAS STUPID OK? BUT HE'S NOT ENTIRELY IN THE WRONG.

MY DUDE LEGIT HAD HIS SISTER R**PED AND KILLED BY A ENEMY STAND USER WHOM THEY WERE AFTER. LOST NEARLY EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE HE KNEW. HAD LEGIT NOBODY TO LEAN ON OR TALK TO. AND WAS IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. STUPID AND PISSED OFF. IF YOU WERE IN HIS SHOES YOU'D BR PISSED TOO. YOU MAY MAKE THE SAME DAMN MISTAKES. DONT FUCKING LIE!

AVDOL GOT HEATED TOO. AND CAME OFF INSENSITIVE EVEN THO THAT WASN'T HIS INTENTIONS. BOTH DIDN'T HANDLE IT WELL. POLNAREFF NEEDED TO BE SMART ABOUT IT BETTER AND HAVE A PLAN. BUT AVDOL NEEDED TO APPROACH THIS MATTER ALSO DELICATELY BECAUSE POLNAREFF'S NOT IN A GOOD HEADSPACE AT THAT MOMENT.

BUT ALL IS WELL BECAUSE GOD BLESS KAKYOIN FOR QUICK THINKING.

But this gives no excuse for the distrust afterwards.

If they didn't trust him to not open his mouth.

WHY THE FUCK HAVE HIM ALONG IN THE FIRST PLACE?! HMMMMMM?! ANSWER ME THIS?!

ALSO BTW HOW DO THEY KNOW HE WOULD OPEN HIS MOUTH ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! HOW THE FUCKING FUCK DO THEY KNOW? THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM " HEY POLNAREFF DON'T FUCKING SAY ANYTHING." IM SURE HE'D BE OK WITH KEEP THAT A SECRET FROM THE ENEMY. JESUS LORD. HE DUMB SOMETIMES BUT HE'S NOT THAT FUCKING INCOMPETENT. THEY ACTED AND SOME OF Y'ALL ALSO ACT LIKE POLNAREFF CAN'T DO SHIT ON HIS OWN AND INFANTIZE THE MAN!

Ultimately he stayed. But after that shit that Joseph and avdol pulled. I wouldn't be keen around them much after that. Kakyoin n jotaro i would be a bit less mad at as they only just got dragged into it.

But tbh he could have left. Right there,when they got to egypt. He could have left back home and said au revoir bitches middle finger and all. But he stayed. Not nessicarly for them. But for his own choice and sake. And you know what.

That's growth. And that's great of his character.

Because i wouldn't be so nice after that.

The bitch switch would have been on.

Maybe it's just me. But i absolutely do not take disrespect like that lightly. Especially at someone who i care for. Regardless of my relationship with someone.

I do not like when people come at others judge of character and integrity.

Anyone with eyes can see they were assholes to polnareff. And tbh. If a woman was on the team. I bet your ass they'd be singing a different tune.

BECAUSE I'D LET EM HAVE IT! *SHAKES FIST*

I dunno i feel like im one of the only people who hated how they treated polnareff sometimes.

Like it pisses me off.

Im like polnareff,baby. Sweetheart i know you're trying to be polite but... fucking tell them how you feel. Tell them how much it pisses you off. Or hurt you.

Maybe it's my virgo mars. Maybe it's just me in general.

But something about that whole arch,the judgement arch. And a few other parts.....just really bothers me.

It's like they don't really care for polnareff. And only just have him there for canon fodder for the enemy so they can look cool while polnareff's gotta do the work so to speak.

When they say "dont go off on your own polnareff" where are they? Away from him. They are just as responsible for his safety as much as himself.

Where are they when he needs them?

Nowhere.

Canon sucks at showing any fucking emotions and friendships between the crusaders. Like genuine shit. You know...HEALTHY DEPICTIONS OF FRIENDS DAMN IT!

Thank god for fanfics because good lord!

Like i feel the same about a few other crusaders and they shit they went through. But this aint about them loveable jerks.

But polnareff. Oh boy did this man go through the worst of the worst. And yet he still tries to handle it with grace.

That's why he's a such good character.

Maybe i just have a different view. But that's my hot tea and I'm sick of the disrespect on jean pierre polnareff our beautiful french bean.

(Sherry polnareff did not die for you to treat her brother like shit you pieces of garbage!)
