Soon.

[graaythekwami]

so when we watched sandboy I told my niece the names and concepts of all the kwamis (not the powers though), and I also asked her who she'd pair them with. She said she'd give the Ox to Kim, which I think is fitting, then the Pig to Rose since she loves everyone. Then my favorite was with Ziggy: "I'd give the passion one to Nathaniel or the writing guy", which I find hilarious seeing the whole canon vs fandom expectation with the Goat. xD

Niece's Reaction to Gabriel in season 2:

To the reveal of the basement: "Wait he has a coffin??"

First closeup of Emilie's pod: "Why is the coffin clear?!"

Gabriel in his garden: "He has a statue of her too?!"

Gabriel giving up Nooroo: "That will last three minutes."

Gabriel summoning Nooroo again: "Told ya so."

Scarlet Moth vs the heroes: "Can't wait to see how Gabriel reacts to finding out he's fighting his son."

Sweats in season 5 finale.

Was marathoning season 2 of Miraculous with my niece today and gaaaaah I miss the early season dynamics so much!!

Don't get me wrong I love the most recent seasons as well but it was sooo nostalgic. It's been a few years since I've fully watched season 2, I loved seeing the original five heroes again, I do miss them!

Attention ML fanfic writers

Regardless of whether or not you give Chloe a redemption arc in your fanfics, Chloe should always among the characters who raises their hands when someone asks for ideas, only for Chloe to be among the people who has to put their hand back down when the idea-asker specifies "that DON'T involve murder."

Scenario 1- AU where Chloe gets an actual redemption arc and remains Queen Bee

Ladybug: in light of Rena Rogue's research suggesting Hawk Moth may be Gabriel Agreste, do any of you have any ideas on how to go about investigating this theory or reclaiming the butterfly and peacock miraculous in the event of the theory turning out to be true?

(half of the team, including Queen Bee raises their hand)

Ladybug: ...that DON'T involve murder?

(Queen Bee, Ryuko, Carapace, and Purple Tigress putting their hands bacck down)

Scenario 2- AU where in season 5, instead of melting all of the stolen miraculi into rings that transfer power to akuma, Gabriel instead hands otu the stolen miraculi is lackeys, including Chloe, who assists the various akumas.

Mr. Pigeon: thank you all so much for coming to assist me. Unfortunately, one can only be akumatized so many time before running out of fresh ideas. DO any of you have any suggestions regarding how to give Paris to the pigeon or taking Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous?

(Turtle!Chloe, Goat!Lila, and Rooster!Bob Roth all raise their hands)

Mr. Pigeon: that DON'T involve murder?

(Turtle!Chloe and Goat!Lila both put their hands back down)

Mr. Pigeon: Nevermind. I'll just have the pigeons take the Effiel Tower into space again. Third time's the charm.

Scenario 3

Bustier: Do any of you have an idea for what to do for the fundraiser?

(half the class raises their hands)

Bustier: that DON'T involve murder?

(Chloe, Lila, and Juleka put their hands back down)

Bustier: and people wonder why my canon self decided to switch over to politics.

So, and this has been something off the top of my head for a while now, but have you ever thought what kind of beings would be the polar opposite of the Kwami? I mean, theoretically speaking it would make some sense if there were entities who were the opposite of them right? Basically if the Kwami are essentially Gods or Angels, then what would be their equivalent of Devils and Demons?

My first instinct would be to say it would be beings that embody the concepts opposite of what kwami do, but that doesn't really work since we see kwamis with pretty opposite concepts of each other (Tikki and Plagg of course; but I'd also say Pollen-Liiri and Wayzz-Roarr have pretty opposite abilities as well; then of course I got my OCs with opposites as well).

So in that case it would probably beings/entities that have opposing goals to the kwamis. So perhaps they would be beings that are against life or existence itself. Perhaps one could draw from the scrapped concept of Null from old versions of the show, who was supposed to be a kwami of nothingness who's goal was apparently "return the world back to nothingness".

Another idea, and the one I'd do if I was personally going to expand on this concept would have kwamis be associated with matter, and these opposite beings be associated with antimatter; making kwamis and these opposite-beings in theory unable to co-exist or interact without destroying the other. The opposites would probably want to destroy this matter-based universe that the kwamis thrive in and create a new one in their own antimatter form.

[graaythekwami]

Adrien takes full advantage of his face post-reveal

[graaythekwami]

I think we've reached a new level of identity-swap-comedy with "Ladybug serves food at a custody meeting for Cat Noir where they must ultimately decide whether he lives with Hawk Moth's parents or Mayura"

[graaythekwami]

Adrien: S-Seventy one times, actually

Gabriel: Why are you keeping track

[graaythekwami]

“i will fall in love with you, over and over again”

“don’t tell me you’re not the same person”

(sorry just a sketch 😔)

Just found your shapeshifter au on ao3 and I've become obsessed it's such a good concept oh my god

I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D I've actually been thinking a lot about that AU recently, so there actually might be a few more fics for it in the future.

The way Marinette and Adrien consciously and unconsciously choose to portray themselves as Ladybug and Chat Noir respectively is fascinating to me. We can take just the first two released episodes S6 and see the differences and similarities.

Marinette is clumsy, forgettable, scatter-brained, and constantly in anxious, worst-case scenario mode all the time. She's frazzled, speaks faster than her brain can keep up with, fidgets constantly, and is always doing something or the other. She always over-prepares and has a plan for everything. Her mannerisms as Marinette resemble her dad (Tom Dupain) and when she is Ladybug, I think she unconsciously channels her mom's (Sabine Cheng) confidence.

It's clear that as soon as she transforms, she carries herself with more composure and certainty, something she only occasionally manages as Marinette.

As Ladybug, she moves with more certainty, effortlessly taking charge and trusting her instincts. But at the same time, she carries the weight of responsibility, bound by the pressure of being the leading face as the savior of Paris and the expectation to always have a solution. Even though she’s more confident in her abilities, she isn’t necessarily more free— if anything, she’s more constrained. Every decision matters, every mistake has consequences, and she has to think about the bigger picture at all times. As Marinette, she doesn’t have that same overwhelming burden. She’s anxious, scattered, and often lost in her own thoughts, but she has the space to obsess over the little things, whether it's an overly detailed plan, a small interaction with her crush, or a passing worry that spirals into something bigger. While Ladybug has to act, Marinette has the luxury of hesitation, of focusing on minutiae instead of the weight of the world.

And then in contrast there’s Adrien, in how he navigates his dual identity. As Chat Noir, he thrives in the freedom his mask gives him, in being playful, loud, and entirely unrestrained. He takes up space without hesitation, making himself seen and heard in a way he never does as Adrien.

As his civilian self, he fades into the background, careful and composed. He rarely draws attention to himself, moving through the world with quiet politeness rather than asserting himself wherever and anywhere he wants as Chat Noir. He’s considerate, always attuned to the needs of those around him, and I think he very much consciously and unconsciously he holds himself back. Where Marinette over-prepares and overthinks and often falls into spirals, Adrien is overly polite, often depressed even though he hides it very well, repressed, avoidant, and non confrontational. It’s only as Chat Noir that he allows himself to be messy, make mistakes, rambunctious, and completely unfiltered.

That’s why their conversation about being the best versions of themselves in Sublimation is so interesting to me. They both genuinely believe that they are better, be it more capable, more confident, more themselves when they’re transformed and fighting side by side. It’s not necessarily true, and in many ways, they underestimate their own strength as civilians, but it’s what they feel, and that belief shapes how they carry themselves once transformed.

What makes this so fascinating is that, whether they intended to or not, their masks have now became more than disguises. Over time, they’ve unconsciously crafted personas around Ladybug and Chat Noir, leaning into traits they suppress in their civilian lives. Marinette channels a confidence and decisiveness that she struggles to access as herself, while Adrien embraces a level of freedom and self-expression that he never allows when he's de-transformed. It's like when they are Ladybug and Chat Noir, they give them permission to be the versions of themselves they think they should be.

I’m really excited to see how they keep changing, how the lines between themselves keep blurring. And honestly, their best selves were never just one or the other. It’s not Marinette or Ladybug, Adrien or Chat Noir— it’s all of it, all at once. They just need to learn to find the balance in that.

Lila Rossi: Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are, I will gladly do so.
