#And Felix is the peacock holder??

[some--dingus]

Ok so I stopped watching Miraculous after... I think the season before disney. I'm not completely sure I was just sick of Chloe being written HORRENDOUSLY (you cannot change my mind) and did not like Zoe.

BUT I keep seeing screenshots and posts of the newest epsiodes of Miraculous and I just need to know what the actual fuck is going on over there

[staab]

[overworkedunderwhelmed]

Okay, but: ridiculously over the top dance scene from Nathalie WHEN?

You can't convince me that this isn't just a peacock holder thing, now.

I mean, technically, Emilie could rise from her coffin and do a solid riff on Thriller, too, but for now I leave that on unlikely...

[muses-of-the-memory]

Happy 9th Anniversary to Miraculous!

Today is the 9th anniversary of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir!

As an open RP to anyone, I will be roleplaying as my Miraculous muses on my list in both verses: Canon and Rise of the Dark Moth verse

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug

Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir

Alya Césaire/Rena Rouge

Nino Lahiffe/Carapace

Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth/Betterfly (willing to do canon Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch) (Remorseful Hawk Moth is in the Rise of the Dark Moth verse)

Nathalie Sancouer/Mayura

Felix Fathom/Argos

Kagami Tsurugi/Ryuko

Zoe Lee/Vesperia

Paint le Panda (Miraculous Hero of Imagination)

[buggachat]

yes the peacock miraculous obviously needs to be felix's and is extremely significant to him and there's so much poetry about the fact that he is the holder of the very miraculous that created him and him being the holder of it is deeply entrenched into the plot. HOWEVER.

sometimes i miss the cat!adrien vs dog!felix dynamic. because it was really fucking funny

[samsimisauser]

You are of course correct, but they are doing Feligami in the show.

One thing that really pops up if you binge the second half of season 5 in one go is that Kagami really just had the same plot twice. Lila gives her a checklist to prove Marinette is a bad friend; Kagami follows that checklist, comes to the conclusion that Lila wanted; some fights, and eventually Kagami recognises her error.

They were still good episodes, mind you! I think the OT3 one had the better ending, but the cloud monster one was so beautiful: Kagami, ethereal, not touching, not really seeing, hanging out in the city that she doesn't fit in, and eventually going up in smoke entirely - that's some tragic poetry right there.

So, good episodes, no doubt about it, but if Kagami gets the same plot one more time, then she better gets to kiss Adrien and Marinette as a result, or else I'll riot.

[pisoprano]

Felix and Kagami, having each deduced the identity of one of Paris’ miraculous wielders, argue over which discovery was more impressive.

“I managed to figure out Hawkmoth’s identity while in another country.”

“You had the advantage of having private information about the Peacock miraculous, anyone in your position could have figured it out.”

“Well you had the advantage of being one of Marinette Dupain Cheng’s close friends, you were in a position to gather all the necessary clues.”

“Marinette has many friends, none of them realized.”

“My uncle was obviously evil and no one else realized.”

They both stare at each other.

“We’re at an impasse.”

“It appears so.”

“Then perhaps a competition will settle this? Felix Fathom, I challenge you to see which of us will be the first person to identify the secret identity of one of Paris’ heroes.”

“You have an advantage. Marinette likely chose you to be Ryuko because you are her friend and she likely chose the other holders the same way.”

“Except for Chat Noir. She has been quite adamant that she not learn his identity, so he theoretically could be anyone in the city.”

“You still would have an advantage due to having lived here for longer and gotten to know more people.”

“Aside from your cousin, the only friends I’ve made here were through Marinette. You have ample opportunity to interact with them, so our playing field is still quite level. Therefore, I ask again: are you up for the challenge?”

After establishing a few ground rules to keep the game interesting and fair (and coercing Adrien be their impartial referee), the competition to find out Chat Noir’s identity commences!

[chocostrwberry]

Peacock miraculous holders!! 🦚 it might be my favorite miraculous ngl, I love the fan and just the bird as a miraculous concept in general. I tried to give them all kind of an elegant old-century look, since that’s what I imagined it to look like before the reveal ehehehe. Felix’s canon design kind of grew on me, but I wanted to give him something else anywaysss, a lil less green and more teal!

[ijustliketoreadstuff]

Kagami couldn't break away.

Knowing now that Kagami was a senti all along, who's amok Felix could sense was also tied to her own family's ring, makes the conversation they had later on during the Diamonds dance all the more important about Kagami and how she had lived her life, unaware of the true level of control her mother had over her growing up. 

(As holder of the peacock miraculous, Felix can sense amoks in his civilian form, Nathalie experienced this as well back in "Feast" when she sensed the amok of the petrified Feast senti at the museum.)

Seeing as it took Felix years before he finally realized his life was tied to the ring his father wore and how that same ring was being used to control him, its no wonder Felix looked so troubled as he stared at Kagami's ring all the while he heard her talk about how people in her family choose to obey orders, he knew Kagami was not aware that her choice to obey, was never her choice to begin with.

In "Protection", Tomoe said she deemed Kagami so perfect, she didn't need to control her, basically revealing that she only gave Kagami the ring that contained her amok, because Kagami was conditioned to obey even without the ring in her mothers possession. This is of course saddening for Kagami, because for much of her life, she did not wield the ring containing her amok, Tomoe did. Tomoe had already made it very obvious throughout the series that she had ensured Kagami would not stray from the path in life that was already decided for her, she was conditioned to never do anything without her mothers permission even after being given the ring that could directly control her.

There was never any need for Tomoe to believe Kagami would stray away from her mothers expectations, because Kagami was well aware she needed to uphold her title as the perfect daughter and only heiress to the Tsurugi family, one her mother would approve of to carry on their family legacy.

( Tomoe is not afraid to show her immense disapproval over Kagami's sense of free will)

Kagami never questioned her willingness to obey the orders her mother gave her over the years, because her mother made it seem like she was entirely in control of deciding for herself if she wanted to abide by the orders given to her, because doing so meant she was just carrying on the traditions their ancestors expected their descendants to uphold, but such tradition only wound up pressuring Kagami to stray away from a life she wanted to choose for herself.

Although Kagami had gradually begun to realize that her family's way of life was making her miserable and that the beliefs she was expected to carry on were not very morally correct, she had yet to talk to her mother about her disapproval over much of what their family stood for. The few times Kagami had talked to her mother, only ever wound up leaving her too timid to directly question her mothers authority, but left her thinking nonetheless how much her mother's words felt wrong to abide by. Kagami is normally not afraid to speak her mind to others, but in her mothers presence, that courage falls silent the moment she is at risk of facing the consequence of her mothers disappointment.

(When Kagami tried to talk to Tomoe over the matters of making new friends in "Ikari Gozen", Kagami said nothing over her mothers final word that friendships would only prove to be disappointing later, words she held onto and even believed were true for a moment when she thought Marinette never actually consider her a friend in "Perfection")

( When Kagami tried to explain her reasoning for not getting back together with Adrien in "Protection", Kagami remained silent as her mother instructed her to end her friendship with Marinette in order to take Adrien back, words she was not willing to obey due to her love and respect for Marinette, but later became willing to consider when Lila convinced her Marinette manipulated her so as to steal Adrien from her.)

Kagami was not yet made aware that she was a senti who could be controlled through her family's ring, but seeing as Kagami is at times willing to take delight in disobeying her mother, so she could do the little things she wanted to do in secret, even showing delight over Felix's(disguised as Adrien) suggestion to leave the Diamonds dance, despite the possibility of it angering her mother and Gabriel, makes it obvious there has always been a part of Kagami that wanted to break away from everything her mother continued to use against her to keep her under control, she just didn't know how to do it without her mother enforcing the idea that she had brought shame onto their family name by choosing her own feelings.

Kagami would often times find herself lying to her mom to obtain brief moments of freedom, but it was that one conversation with Felix(disguised as Adrien) in "Emotion", that finally made her realize that as much as she talked about not letting others pull the strings of their lives, it was she who was not yet willing to accept that she was not as in control of her own life as she wanted to believe.

(Back in "Risk", Kagami was angered over Adrien continuing to let others control his life, doing everything others told him to do without question, like a puppet, and not taking the risk to put an end to it all by cutting his strings and taking back control of his own life, all the while not yet realizing that she was living the same struggle with her mother. Kagami wanted to cut her own strings, but couldn't.)

(Even without the ring, Tomoe is able to keep a strong level of control over Kagami by enforcing the traditions of their family.)

Despite having the free will to choose when and where she could pretend to be her mom's puppet, to be the perfectly obedient daughter her mom expected her to be, Tomoe's sense of control still loomed over Kagami no matter where she was or what she wanted to do.

(As excited as Kagami was over the idea of leaving the dance with Adrien(Felix), Kagami realizes that displeasing her mother was all she could prioritize, proving to Felix, as well as herself, that she was not as free to make her own choices as she claimed)

The only time Kagami felt some sense of freedom in making her own decisions, was when she knew her mother was not around. Of course this never meant she wanted her mother to quite literally disappear off the face of the earth as part of Felix's plan to free her and Adrien from their parents control, through the use of a red moon that would allow Felix to make anyone disappear, but she did have to face the reality that she needed to confront her mother if she ever wanted to break away from such control.

Kagami was already well aware of how disapproving her mom would be over hearing her daughter go against everything that was expected of her and was raised to believe, but if fulfilling her mothers expectations meant she had to give up the freedom of experiencing what little happiness she had in her life while living in Paris, then she had to try to take the risk of changing things.

(Kagami decides to follow Marinette and Adrien's choice to confront Gabriel, and decides to confront her mother about the level of control she has over her life, knowing fully well it would not be an easy task, but was something she had to try and do for herself if she was ever to regain some level of freedom in deciding her own future just like Felix said)

[bakawitch]

Continuing this nonsense au

(I can't draw right now, and I need to get it out of my system)

Marinette is best friends with Chloé (they're the mean girls)

She's the daughter of the most famous/expensive confectioners in all of Paris

She's a klepto and pick pockets the ladybug miraculous from Fu before he could give it to an appropriate holder

Her hero name is Lady Vermilion

She is the sole defence against Hawkmoth for a while and is perceived very positively by the public

Sabrina takes on Marinette's canon role and is constantly victimised by Chloé and Marinette

Que Alya's transfer to the class, her and Sabrina become fast friends and they bond over their mutual love for Lady Vermilion

Sabrina passes one of Fu's dumb tests and gets the black cat miraculous - becomes Calico

After Fu sees Alya help Calico while Lady Ver is down from an akuma attack, he gives her the dog miraculous

Alya becomes Huntara and Calico and her partner up!

(Fetch has a different ability, I don't know what yet, but it's something stronger. Maybe it's something like stealing distance between the user and targets the ball hit? Dunno lol)

After the akuma gets defeated, Lady Ver welcomes them to the hero business and tells them that one day, they might be as great as her if they try hard enough, because this time they definitely just got lucky

Lady Ver is fake nice to them in a condescending and belittling way, she's very angry and concerned that they might steal her spotlight

Alya and Sabrina are unaware of each others' secret identities because they don't know each other well enough to know if they're acting out of character or trying to cover for something but they will figure it out eventually

They do hero stuff, and Lady Ver usually steals the spotlight

She usually only appears for very dangerous akumas and lets Calico and Huntara deal with the small fries

Enter Adrien- dun dun dun!

He's also a mean girl™

Marinette still has a thing for him, but Adrien and Chloé are too oblivious to notice her advances and

Something something happens, Marinette gets the opportunity to snatch the bee miraculous from Fu

She gives it to Chloé and reveals her secret identity to her, believing that as a duo, they have better chances to rival the rising in popularity cat and dog duo

Chloé becomes Queen Frelon

Seeing the increasing amount of miraculous in play, Hawkmoth recruits his disgruntled estranged son and gives him the broken peacock miraculous (father of the year, ladies and gentlemen)

Adrien becomes Fanfare and almost immediately gets sick after detransforming

(He's probably not a senti-baby here...? Idk)

Fanfare eventually recruits Lady Vermillion and Queen Frelon from the shadows to start his own cause because there is no way that he's going to give the ladybug and black cat miraculous to his incompetent father

Queen Frelon and Lady Ver start openly sabotaging Calico and Huntara and try to set them up as fall guys for Fanfare's plan

Love square is Huntara/Alya->Calico->Alya<-Sabrina

Felix arrives and eliminates Hawkmoth/Gabriel with Adrien/Fanfare's help after figuring out their identities

Felix gets the butterfly and becomes Jaded Majesty

Lady Ver and Queen Frelon fully switch sides, and Lady Ver uses her influence to start portraying Huntara and Calico as villains, and the heroes become wanted criminals

The new actual villain team carefully craft a plan through which they will practically have full control over Paris

The goal is still to get the black cat from Calico, but their wish is now to heal Adrien

And yeah, that's as far as I have this au roughly outlined XD

[flightfoot]

Marinette Completed Angst Fic Reclist

I know some people really like this genre, so I figured I'd make a list for it! These will obviously all be completed, and none of them will be bashing fics, and PLEASE don't rec any fics on this post that are bashing fics, I don't want to see them.

Some of these will have my own commentary about the fic attached to it, for if I've put them on a previous reclist where I had that commentary written out. But a lot of the older fics won't.

For a fic to count for this, the angst Marinette goes through can't just be her being upset about what someone else is going through, though the angst of the fic doesn't only need to be hers, so long as she has her own angst which is a decently prominent part of the fic.

one does not love breathing by @wackus-bonkus-maximus

All of Paris watched as Hawkmoth murdered Chat Noir, taking the Black Cat Miraculous for himself. Ladybug swears revenge, but her enemy—and every miraculous in his possession—disappear without a trace.

Six years later, a new team of villains launches an attack for the last remaining Miraculous: Volpina, armed with new powers; Queen Bee, with questionable loyalty; Argos, the new holder of the Peacock Miraculous; and Cat Walker, who Ladybug hates the most.

Takes place after S4 - Strike Back.

This is a simply phenomenal fic. You get to explore a lot of different perspectives, like Felix, Kagami, Marinette, and Adrien’s, just to name a few, and see their different thought processes and plans and priorities, and how it can cause their plans to collide with each other, even when they all ultimately are aiming for a good outcome for everyone. The characters are pretty complex and can mess up at times, even when they’re doing things (or not doing things, looking at you Luka) with the best of intentions. It was a joy to read and a real nail-biter the whole time, I actually wrote a fic for it halfway through just to resolve some of the tension for myself, One Does Not Love Shadows.

It also features the version of Luka I’ve connected best with to date, as he feels like Luka, but also is a lot more fleshed out, and can make some major errors while simply trying to avoid missteps. It’s helped me get a better handle on a character who I’ve generally had a lot of problems with really understanding.

It is an M-rated fic, though I think Wackus is being overly cautious on that front. There’s no sexual content and I wouldn’t put the violence or gore above a T-rating, so I wouldn’t let the rating scare you off.

you don’t even know me at all (but I was made for loving you) by @ladyofthenoodle

They didn’t remember each other. The hospital told them there’d been an accident—brain damage—but Alya had told them the truth, later. Who’d they’d been to each other. What they’d given up, and why. But even with their memories of each other gone, Adrien and Marinette are still inextricably tied together—by law, by their social circles, and by their hearts. And in the apartment they share, there’s only one bed.

Yep, it’s the “there was only one bed” trope XD! I especially love how it was used here, how Adrien and Marinette are strangers now but they had a whole life together, and they pine for each other even without remembering, and how Marinette just can’t believe how in love with her Adrien is even though he doesn’t remember her. I loved the emotional turmoil the two of them went through together in the fic, and the resolution, it’s great!

---

fine line by @bbutterflies

“Catwalker?” Loveybug asks. “Hmm?” “Do you remember… what happened before us?” “What do you mean?” “Before we were heroes. Was there someone else?” Catwalker goes quiet for a moment. “I don’t know,” he finally says.

This is a surprisingly angsty take on the Loveybug AU. Here, since the Loveybug and Cat Walker transformations are so unnatural, they’re having negative side effects on Marinette and Adrien, causing them to be constantly exhausted and even to get amnesia the longer they continue using them.

do you think I have forgotten about you? by @roseinaugust

Based on the song ‘About You’ by The 1975. Memory Loss. Told in alternating time lines, one leading up to and one dealing with the aftermath of Marinette relinquishing the Miracle Box and the guardianship. Marinette struggles with her life after losing her memory, though there is a persistent voice that calls to her that always seems just out of reach in her memory.

Beautiful memory loss fic here, with seeing Ladybug’s and Chat Noir’s relationship before she gave up the Miracle box, juxtaposed with the present day, when Adrien is only a stranger to her. I could really feel how Marinette was struggling with navigating these new circumstances, with her friends seeming to expect her to remember, to be who she was to them, to Adrien especially, before, and her just… not knowing whether she can do that. It’s got a happy ending though, for those who are concerned about that.

Our Tales Are Endless (That’s Why I Tell Them) by @joonapeach

Marinette lives a simple life - one surrounded by pretty dresses, fresh macaroons, and the calming view of Paris. It’s a life she thinks she has always fit in. And yet sometimes, when a certain boy comes by her shop with a flower and a new adventurous story, she can’t help but wonder if there’s something else she’s missing.

This was a truly gorgeous story. It’s the classic “Marinette gives up the Miracle Box and loses her memories” storyline, exploring her life two years later. Even though she’s had time to heal and recover, she still feels like she’s missing something, something big. At least Adrien’s stopping by regularly to tell her stories about Ladybug and Chat Noir, even if she doesn’t understand why they resonate with her so well.

---

I (Wish I) Knew You by @buggachat

University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.

If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?

Nice aged-up Ladynoir fic here! Marinette’s struggling with losing friends and lovers because of her flakiness due to her superhero activities, until at last she breaks down. Thankfully, Chat Noir’s there at least - and it soon turns out he’s got problems of his own that he’s been hiding.

There’s some fluff and angst, it’s mostly just the two of them navigating life, dealing with their feelings and talking things out.

If I Let Myself Love You by @uptoolateart

It’s hard to be a normal girl with a normal life when your mother has terminal cancer. And when fashion model Adrien Agreste moves back to Paris and wants to be Marinette’s friend – or maybe even more – her life is turned upside down again.

How can she risk opening her heart to love when her whole world is falling apart? Especially when Adrien is hiding a dark secret of his own….

- COMPLETE FIC – updates on Sundays

*** No kwamis AU - 100% Adrinette. About half of it is fluffy and half heavy. Please read tags for trigger warnings. ***

This fic can be rough, definitely pay attention to the tags. There’s no villains in this story, it mostly centers around themes of dealing with illness - both being sick and having a loved one who’s terminally ill - and death, grieving someone who’s lost, and how difficult that can be. It can get pretty gut-wrenching at times, especially as you slowly discover more layers of what’s really going on, what both Adrien and Marinette are hiding, both from others and from themselves in order to help cope with their circumstances. But they still move forwards together, regardless.

Between the Heavens and the Embers by @readersmoon

Everyone in Paris remembers the fateful night of January 16, when the city was attacked by the most powerful and destructive akuma ever created. The assault, which lasted for hours, resulted in the death of 439 people.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng was among the casualties.

Years later, Adrien hasn't been able to move on, haunted by the memories of her broken body. So, when the opportunity to leave Paris for a while presents itself, he doesn't hesitate. But this trip might end up giving him more than he ever dreamt of.

This is a fantastic fic, though a serious and a dark one - make sure to mind the tags, and it’s M-rated for a reason. Vee - or rather, Marinette - is going through a horror story here. Imagine finding out that your life is a lie, that everyone you thought you could trust was manipulating you, that you were just being continually gaslit for years. 

As for Adrien, Alya, and Nino... well, none of them took Marinette’s “death” all that well, especially Adrien. Finding out that she’s been alive all this time, in these horrible circumstances, and they had no clue... it’s hard on them as well.

I love how this fic goes into how much trauma everyone has even after the immediate danger’s dealt with, you don’t just walk off this kind of experience, especially with how many years this lasted.

---

in case you don’t know me tomorrow by @thelibraryloser:

“We live in a crazy world where pieces of our lives can be erased like they never even happened. I just wanted to memorize this moment so… so I could keep it, if that makes sense.”

Adrien’s heart gave a little flutter. She wanted to keep this moment, meeting him. She wanted to keep… him.

“I understand exactly what you mean.“

In a world that has created a way to selectively delete memories, no moment is truly safe. So how do you hold on to something when the memory of it is gone? And how do you keep fighting for someone when you’re the only one who remembers?

This is a SEVERELY underrated fic. It’s got some shades of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” in the world, though the plot is very different - the memory erasure ain’t willing. 

Basically, the first few chapters are establishing Adrien’s and Marinette’s romance, and then the rest of the fic is dealing with Gabriel being an absolute DICK and using any means at his disposal to break them apart. It’s fantastic and I highly recommend reading it!

hella enchanted by @xiueryn:

Years ago, Marinette’s father died and she was left with her awful stepmother. With magic forcing her to obey every command, she lived as a servant and gave up hope. When a man appears, searching for the very fairy that blessed her, Marinette decides to give life one more try. AU.

(a different ella enchanted au.)

Even though it’s a one-shot this one is pretty long, clocking in at over 30k words. Absolutely worth a shot, though. The first third is basically Marinette dealing with being pushed around because of her “blessing”, and the other two-thirds is just some adorable fluff of her and Adrien touring the country together.

Echoes of You by kittinoir

In the day time, she's Marinette - a normal girl, with a normal life. A normal girl, with a normal life. A normal girl, with... Not Season 4 Compliant; please, no spoilers

balancing act by fictionalinfinity

“Besides, being Ladybug always came first. It came before school, friends, and sometimes even family. Now it had to come before her health. Marinette had a duty to Paris. She wouldn’t let them down.” Or, being both Ladybug and the Guardian starts to take its toll on Marinette. - the epilepsy au literally no one asked for

Some Days by @merrygreenie

Some days are worse, and others are a little better, little by little and day by day. Marinette Dupain-Chen is learning how to live her new normal after living in confinement and being tortured by Hawkmoth. She is thankful to have her friends and family to support her. And a very special Chat who loves her very much. *This story contains scenes of violence and torture this is a whump fic*

This fic has some great angst, but be warned, it's not kidding about the violence and torture. Honestly, it should probably be rated M instead of Teen, given that while the fic mostly takes place after Marinette escapes and while she's recovering, we do get a detailed flashback to her torture.

[yunyin]

When I first saw this scene I was kind of wondering if Felix had some sort of senti-dossier cuz he recognized her ring, then I realized DUH, the peacock holder can sense an amok! And I just really like this "you're like me!" moment

[imperfect-storm]

Ok but imagine that first team meeting after Adrien finally has the twin rings on his person, regardless if he knows their significance.

The peacock holder can sense Amoks, even if they aren't the creator of said Amok, and can communicate with them when transformed. Proof with Nathalie in Feast and with Felix/Kagami in Pretension. So now that Adrien, aka Chat, is in possession of the twin rings, and Felix is Argos...

They show up and Argos just GLARES at Chat the entire meeting, losing his mind, trying to figure out why Chat has an Amok. Accusing LB of not giving the rings to Adrien. Pouncing on Chat and demanding he give up what he stole, assuming he can sense the specific Amok? Absolutely would be cussing him out telepathically before realizing the implications of being able to communicate in said way with Chat Noir. Adrien may or may not know what they even ARE at that point. Idk there are just so many hilarious possibilities.

In all seriousness, Luka is the only one who knows Chat's identity thus far. Felix HAS to know now too, starting immediately. I SWEAR if the creators ignore the rule they made........

[muggle-born-princess]

Here's How I Would Write Miraculous:

Season 1: The Love Square Arc:

It's all the same like canon, but halfway through, Marinette and Adrien start to discover who they are and develop feelings for one another. Not X likes Y instead, but as both citizens and partners.

Season 2: The Main Five Arc:

Marinette and Adrien still have feelings for each other, but now we focus on Alya, Nino, and Chloe. Alya and Nino begin to develop their relationship, and Chloe, of course, begins to develop as a character and become a better person. They're still Rena Rouge, Carapace, and Queen Bee, and they become closer to Marinette and Adrien. Chloe even begins to act nicer to Marinette, not just for brownie points, but as an act of genuine kindness once she learns how important it is to be a hero.

Season 3: The Agreste vs. Agreste Arc:

This is it. This is the final battle between Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Hawk Moth with their allies. This is where Adrien finds out about Hawk Moth being his dad. This is where he's part of the final battle along with the Main Five. This is where Master Fu retires on his own will and passes down the guardianship to both Marinette and Adrien. This is where they both become a couple. Alya, Nino, and Chloe are allowed to keep their miraculouses permanently. Gabriel is arrested. Nathalie has custody over Adrien. The Buttlerfly Miraculous has returned.

Season 4: The New Guardians Arc:

Marinette and Adrien are now co guardians. They agree to have a team of their own with their allies. Marinette gets Alya, Mylene (as Polymouse), Rose (as Pigella), Alix (as Bunnyx), Juleka (as Purple Tigress), Nathaniel (as Caprikid), Marc (as Rooster Bold), and Luka (as Viperion). Adrien gets Nino, Chloe, Sabrina (as Miss Hound), Ivan (as Minotaurox), Kim (as King Monkey), Max (as Pegasus), and Kagami (as Ryuko). Nathalie is the main antagonist and vows to finish Gabriel's job for him, but starts to have doubts the more she grows closer to Adrien. In the end, Nathalie is tricked by Lila, and she steals the Peacock Miraculous and exposes Nathalie as well.

Season 5: The Lila Arc:

Lila becomes the new Peacock holder and attempts to steal all the Miraculouses from Marinette, but it becomes a challenge now that Gabriel and Nathalie are both gone. Disguising herself as Cerise, she manipulates Marinette's classmates against her, except for the main four (Adrien, Chloe, Nino, and Alya) and with their allies now gone, it's up to them to expose Lila and get back the Peacock Miraculous. In the end, Lila is exposed and sent back to Italy. Meanwhile, two new villains arrive and are probably related to two certain Miraculous Holders.

Season 6/The Final Season: The Family Dynamic Arc:

Felix and Zoe debut and are the twin siblings to Adrien and Chloe, respectively. They are hints that they may have a connection to both the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses and that the Bourgeoises and Agrestes may have something to do with it. Do they redeem? Possibly.

[jennrypan]

The vibe I'm tryna go for with Rogue Chat;

More serious take of miraculous.

It's aimed more towards older audiences so there will be cursing.

Adrien is still nice but he has his moments of being rude and he's tired of giving people the benefit of the doubt cuz it's always failed him. He's far more cynical and distrusting cuz Ladybug was his last piller and finding out she lied to him so drastically has tainted his opinion on trusting people.

Plagg and Tikki are far less..goofy, and more godlike vibes. Plagg and Tikki are technically married cuz they're a union but they're against each other cuz Tikki believes Marinettes doing what's best and Plagg doesn't so they're at odds.

The team is split. The ones on Ladybugs side: Tiger, Pig, Horse, Monkey, Rooster, Bull, Mouse. The ones on Chats side: Peacock, Dog, Turtle, Bee, Dragon, Snake, Fox

The Dragon, Fox and Snake and technically aren't on either side but they follow their holder but would prefer none of them fight. Trixx personally sides with Plagg but wants Alya to make her own choice so he isn't exactly on either side. The Peacock just wants Nooroo back and is so tired and done with being used for evil.

Lila is just evil and wants to split up all the heros even more and wants to get Chat on her side cuz she just hates Ladybug and wants both their miraculous so she's just fighting both sides and making countless villains and since their split up, it's easier to fight one cuz they aren't a union anymore.

Chloe semi makes ammends eith Audrey cuz they talk and Chloe lashes out at her and Andre for their hand in raising her and not taking responsibility for that and Audrey takes Zoe from Andre cuz..Zoe isn't his kid so he can't just take custody of her 😶 and Chloe and Zoe mend their relationship slowly and Chloe gets the bee back cuz. I refuse to let Zoe keep it cuz the suit is ugly--

Alya and Nino remain a couple and they talk through everything.

Adrien and Felix have a strained relationship but Felix is trying to help him in his..insane way.

It's not exactly Marinette salt but..she isn't regarded highly by some kwami. (Plagg specifically.)

Cat Blanc: Adrien and Marinette find out each other's identity and the world is doomed.

Bunnyx: HOLY SHIT, I NEED TO GO BACK IN TIME AND WARN LADYBUG ABOUT THIS!

My best guess is that this is history goes, but the show doesn't do enough to really clarify what warrants using time travel to fix everything.
