Sam Wilson is my absolute favorite Marvel character. I’ve loved him since Captain America: Winter Soldier when he just immediately treats Steve like a person and a soldier in need of help and is immediately like “I do what he does, just slower.” What a guy. I remember when they announced the Avengers Campus they had Anthony Mackey introduce it and showed off Sam as Captain America. I was so excited to see him and we almost didn’t get to, but when we did - pure autistic joy. But first we met Steve. I drew the original 6 Avengers as itti bitties a few years ago when I was gonna try to sell stickers, so I just included those drawings in my book. But I thought I’d left Steve out because I didn’t think he would be there. Fun fact, there are more characters than what it shows on the app. So we met Steve first and I thought I didn’t have his drawing so I had him sign Sam’s. He was like “I don’t want to take Sam’s” and then I was like “you can share” and he was like “okay, we can share.” Then he and my sister had an entertaining conversation about Camp Half-Blood.

Immediately after this I realized that I had thrown Steve’s drawing in the book for the heck of it and literally facepalmed. So when we met Sam, I first told him he was my favorite, then I showed him the drawing of him, then I explained how I’d had Steve sign his drawing and thought it’d be funny if he signed Steve’s. He said he thought Steve would think the switch was funny. He said he liked the drawing and that I included his wings.

After Steve but well before Sam, when we were still trying to find Sam, we also saw Natasha and had her sign our books. She didn’t have much of a reaction to the drawing but offered to help us find other Avengers.

So the Disneyland app lets you look at characters but it doesn’t actually like. Track them or anything. It just shows the rough time and place characters might be somewhere. Other characters walk around completely unrelated to that. Sam’s window was something like 10:30-3:30. He’s not actually out for the entire window. He just might show up somewhere in that span. So we spent like the whole day circling back to Avenger’s Campus to find him and he came out at like 3

And finally, the Disney princesses + some villains.

Belle, Cinderella, Anastasia (one of Cinderella’s step sisters; she had a super cute romance with a baker in the second Cinderella movie and also is the focus of the third Cinderella movie which actually might be better than the original if you haven’t seen it. She’s actually a sweetheart deep down so I drew her, too. Could’ve had her sign my book but the timing didn’t work out and also she was with Drizella who I didn’t draw so that’d be awkward), Pocahontas, the live action Ariel, 3 Auroras (I have a friend who’s very particular about her being in the blue dress, though she’s most often shown in the pink dress since Cinderella’s the “blue princess”, but my favorite version is both colors), Maleficent, and the Evil Queen from Snow White.

And that is finally all of the itti bitties I drew for this project. I think they’d make adorable stickers but since they’re all Disney characters, I can’t sell them on RedBubble, and I don’t have the capacity or time to make and sell the stickers myself. Maybe one day.

We got the most signatures from Avengers Campus since we were hanging out there a lot looking for Sam, but these three I drew and we didn’t get their signatures. We also saw The Wasp and Ms. Marvel but I didn’t draw them since I didn’t know they’d be there. We did actually see Shuri our first night but we were rushing around and didn’t stop to get a signature. We also saw T’Challa a few times - he comes out hourly after the Dora do their presentation, but he doesn’t do signatures. The fun thing about drawing their costumes is that you notice the details as you draw them. T’Challa’s outfit is very classic and clean. Shuri’s is very decorative and even has a little tiara on the forehead. Reflects their personalities well.

When we met Loki and showed him our drawings he said he liked them and that he was looking for some artists to assist him for when he took over Avenger’s Campus. He said he was looking to have some posters of him made. He also talked about fixing up the sanctum sanctorum with more gold, some green, maybe some black. We said we were down. He said he looked forward to working with us.

When we showed Thor he loved it. He liked that I also drew Mjolnir. He also asked if we drew Loki as well so we showed him our Loki drawings. He laughed and said “He’s never looked so nice. I don’t trust him.” And I was like “oh, like when he was a snake?” And he was like “Yes, and then he stabbed me! Recently he’s started doing a new trick. He’s been turning into a goat because he knows I like them just as much.” I love the sibling banter.

Shang-Chi and Kamala (Ms. Marvel) were actually the first signatures we got. They were together. My sister and I love the part in Shang-Chi when his dad talks about the Mandarin and says “and it worked. They were scared of an orange.” We quote it all the time. So I drew a little orange next to him. When I showed him the drawing he noted the orange and I said “it’s the Mandarin” and he laughed. He showed it to Kamala and said “It’s a drawing of me and my dad. Cuz my dad’s the mandarin.” And then made a pun about him being a cutie. It was very funny.

I didn’t know Kamala was going to be there so I didn’t draw her. But I told her she could sign Captain Marvel’s and then Shang-Chi was like “you should write something about you guys being best friends” so she wrote “Ms. Marvel + [blank] = Best Friends!”

We didn’t actually see Captain Marvel so uh. I forged the signature. I didn’t want to let Kamala down. But I drew Captain Marvel with her helmet on because I freaking love her helmet.

We met Spider-Man briefly while he was walking around. He loved my sister’s drawing. When he saw mine he said “My head’s not that big, is it? Is it?” We told him it wasn’t. My sister said it was just because he was a cartoon and he said “I’ll take that.”

Impacts on the Host Body: Jeckyll’n’Hyde Miraculous AU

Intro/bio post

While the host and kwami are completely different people, they do share the same body, even if it changes form depending on who’s in control. Things do stay consistent. In fact, Mari and Adrien would be covered in cuts and bruises if it weren’t for the Miraculous Cure taking care of them before Ladybug and Chat Noir detransform. But there are other changes.

While Mari and Adrien might feel like they’re getting rest when they black out and the kwamis take over, the body isn’t, so they may still feel tired if Ladybug and Chat Noir pulled a late night.

In and of itself, the kwamis taking over doesn’t do any damage to the host other than disrupting their normal life. But using their powers - Lucky Charm and Cataclysm, for example - can be draining for the host body to support. That’s why there’s a five minute limit after using the power. However, the kwami can push past it or even summon the power a second time, but that will start to take a serious toll on the host.

A corrupted Miraculous/evil kwami also takes a hefty toll on the host.

Abhor, Demon of Hatred

Also demon of wrath and war. Most warriors make sacrifices to him to appease him, as a curse from him can cost you in battle. He is often depicted with orc-like traits due to the war-heavy focus of orcish culture. He’s also depicted as dwarven or dragonborn for the same reason. He’s always depicted with dragon wings (usually red dragon, sometimes red shadow dragon) and fire hair. (He’s a hot head, lol.)

We See You: Xena

I actually finished this like over a month ago but wasn’t sure about the wing colors. I finally decided to just post it. I can redesign her later if I still don’t like it.

Xena’s race is inspired by the Valkyrie and warrior angels (the in-world explanation is they’re inspired by her race). In her revealed form, she has wings, glowing golden eyes, and is surrounded by an aura of light. Her people are not stealthy. But they are excellent warriors.

Since true name magic is a thing, she doesn’t use her name. The twins nicknamed her Xena since she gives off that warrior Princess vibe. She ends up being the twins’ combat trainer. Also Ryker has a major crush on her.

When she’s dressed for warm weather she kinda looks like a Southern California girl. When she dresses warmer, she looks like she’s about to go camping, which helps her blend with the Washington crowd.

The last image is an attempt at drawing her in Ember’s style.

Adrienette - Jeckyll’n’Hyde AU

Intro/bio post

When Adrien first comes to class, Marinette has a little freak out because she already has pictures of him on her wall - just because they’re fashion spreads she took out of Agreste Magazine, but still. Kinda weird to have pictures of someone on your wall that is now in your class but you’ve never met before.

Marinette’s crush does still develop because of Adrien’s personality rather than being a celebrity crush, though. Origins sort of implies that Marinette really isn’t close with any of her classmates and Alya’s her first friend. I imagine most of the classmates don’t actively have negative feelings towards her, but due to Chloe’s bullying and the fact that Chloe often ropes others into it (Kim), she’s wary of opening up. When Adrien stands up to Chloe for her - something no one else is really doing, and especially impressive since she’s been his only friend for who knows how long - it means a lot to Marinette.

Marinette: Th-thanks for your help…

Adrien: Of course. … Is Chloe always like that?

Marinette: Y-yeah, pretty much…

Adrien: I’ve never seen her act like that before. Of course, whenever we’ve hung out, it’s just been the two of us, so I guess I haven’t seen her interact with many other people.

Marinette: How do you know Chloe?

Adrien: Our parents know each other. She was my only friend for a long time. I can’t believe this is how she’s been treating others the whole time…

Marinette: I’m sorry.

Adrien: No, no, you have nothing to be sorry for. I’m sorry she’s been treating you this way. It’s not okay.

Marinette is awkward, clumsy, and stuttery around everyone. Maybe slightly more around Adrien due to the crush, but not enough of a difference that it’d be notable to others. In fact, as she starts hanging out with Alya, Adrien, and Nino more, she’d start getting more comfortable with them and actually having friends and would become less awkward.

For Adrien’s part, he thinks Marinette is very sweet from the beginning, though obviously quite shy. But it seems like she doesn’t have a lot of friends and, hey, he doesn’t either. As he gets to know her better, he’s pleasantly surprised by her sense of humor, playfulness, and how willing she is to stand up for her friends even if she won’t stand up for herself.

Marinette would gradually catch on that Adrien’s home life isn’t good. She would feel powerless to directly do anything about it (such as confronting Gabriel), but would do what little things she can to ease Adrien’s burden in the only way she knows how. Hanging out with him when she can, bringing him extra sweets and little gifts, letting him hang out at the bakery with her and her parents on the rare occasions he’s allowed to get away from the house and his other responsibilities. When he is stuck at home, they play online rpgs together.

They are both dealing with trauma - Marinette at school and Adrien at home - and they bond over trying to help one another with those. Adrien helps Marinette at school and Marinette helps Adrien outside of school. While they don’t necessarily realize or vocalize it, they know a little of what the other person is going to and want to help them. That mutual connection leads to a deepening relationship.

MariChat - Jeckyll'n'Hyde AU

Most MariChat content is built on Adrien using Chat Noir to escape his overly controlled life and gain some freedom. But this Chat Noir doesn’t have any of the trauma from being Adrien, so that’s not a factor here. 

Things usually start off because Adrien knows Mari and interacts with her as Chat because he knows her already. But that’s not the case here, either. I’m not sure how it would start off because Chat Noir would see Marinette as just a random citizen. Albeit a cute one but. Not much different from others. 

Chat would sort of help Marinette calm down from spiraling. His overly chill, laid-back personality would help counter her overly anxious one. He would help her ground and refocus.

Chat would very much act like a cat - playing with her balls of yarn, taking naps, maybe even knocking things over when he’s bored, demanding pets.

Chat would listen to Mari talk about her crush on Adrien. He knows that he inhabits Adrien’s body but doesn’t know Adrien personally so this would actually be how he gets to know him. He concludes Adrien is an idiot.

Chat would also be very protective of Mari.

But they’d also just be dorks and banter.

Gabriel/Hawkmoth - Jeckyll’n’Hyde AU

Intro/bio post

There are a few ways Gabriel could be handled:

Option 1: Gabriel is completely unaware he is Hawkmoth and unaware of the miraculouses

Suboption 1: Gabriel is actually a good father and good person, his alternate form is just evil. Comes with the angst of realizing he’s the problem and he’s even been putting his own beloved son in danger.

Suboption 2: Gabriel is still a bad father, he’s just a normal bad, rich, neglectful parent instead of also being a super villain. He may even resent his son after his wife’s death or just feel like he reminds him of her too much so he pushes him away.

Option 2: Gabriel knows about the miraculous and he actually found the butterfly miraculous and corrupted it, possibly trying to use the power to bring Emelie back. But he didn’t understand that you don’t control it and basically become possessed. So he’s somewhat aware of it in that he wakes up from a black out and understands why, but may be frustrated he himself can’t control it.

I won’t be going with Option 1.1 (Gabriel being a good father) because having a controlling, neglectful father is a pretty defining aspect of Adrien’s character. I’ve already changed his character quite a bit by taking away his freedom as Chat Noir; having a loving father would basically make him a completely different person. Of the remaining options, I lean more towards Gabriel just being a normal bad parent rather than purposefully becoming a super villain, but I’ll continue to consider it.

[cassiekayscreams]

My take on Gerard Keay from The Magnus Archives. Gerard was the first common thread I noticed in the series and I immediately loved him. Probably cuz I picked up on the goth vibes, and when they were confirmed, I loved him even more. And like only the second time he’s brought up we’re told he’s already dead but I say no.

Lady Noir - Jeckyll’n’Hyde AU

Intro/bio post

Chat Noir’s feelings for Ladybug maybe aren’t as potent as in canon, or at least not as obvious from the outside. It’s hard to tell through his chaos. But the most prevalent feature of his feelings for her is that he has total respect for her and will halt his chaos immediately if she asks.

While you’d think Chat’s chaos would make Ladybug crazy, he actually reigns it in enough that it’s not as much as a problem as it seems to be from the outside. Instead his chaos is actually an emotional reprieve for the very serious and responsible Ladybug. It’s always weird to me when Marinette will describe Chat Noir as her best friend (I mean what about Alya, Nino, and Adrien?), but with Ladybug being a separate person, Chat Noir truly is her best friend and the two really enjoy one another’s company.

The best way to describe their relationship is that Ladybug is the refined, strong queen and Chat Noir is her feral pet.

Miguel “I’m Not Like Other Spider-People” O’Hara

Gothic Spider’s only here to make fun of Miguel and call him on his crap.

We rewatched Across the Spider-Verse. Yes, I’m still upset.

Bonus: before I colored in Miguel’s hair I thought he looked like an old man and I thought it was funny so there you go.
