#Chloe bourgeois

[hexalianrebel-blackfeathers]

From a writing standpoint, I'm still mad about Chloe Bourgeois (Miraculous Ladybug). Like, she had the start of a redemption arc, was literally the first person to reject Hawkmoth's corruption through sheer will, and genuinely would have been an asset to the "good guys" with her position, resources, etc. But the writers just... gave up on her. Introduced a new character blood related to her and with damn near the same name to replace her.

Like, in a better world, Chloe would be a good person by now. The previously unmentioned half sister that shows up could have been identical or worse than her original self, like holding up a mirror that she can then confront and keep growing from. (Heck, they kind of already have that character in her mother) But no, because that's just too much effort, I guess.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

Why I Think Chloe is a Skilled CQC Fighter:

So, I wanted to cover in slightly more detail why I tend to think that Chloe is a genuinely skilled fighter and why I feel it is supported by at least the first three seasons of canon materials in MLB.

1: As Anti Bug, Chloe was able to combat, match and then quickly overcome Adrien in closed quarters combat. One could claim this was him holding back due to friendship but that'd be even more of a HC and he looks pretty comfy.

One could claim it was just because he needed to be in peril for the story but the fact is that still means he lost the fight.

2: In Maledikator Chloe demonstrated strong martial art based kick forms, which by itself is fairly minor but these things add up.

3: During Heroes Day, Chloe does demonstrably better than the other two reserve heroes and is even able to cover for them wen they are unable to fight.

She also l lasts even after they begin turning and needed to be ambushed to be removed from the fight.

4: During Miracular, Chloe has a one on one fight with Mayura in which she does very well and given Mayura is one of the top fighters in the setting I feel that says a lot.

5: This is also where she expressly demonstrated Street Savate style martial arts moves which no other character does. This indicates its a Chloe thing not a Miraculous user thing.

6: This last bit is more of a HC than the above, but it does feel worth keeping in mind both Adrien & Felix were expected to learn a martial art. So it seems like this may well have been normalized among them and so would not be particularly unusual.

Conclusion: Ultimately, Chloe shows herself to be very good fighter.

What's more, she does so with enough frequency and in unique enough circumstances and ways that it does not feel like animators just being careless or having fun. Otherwise we'd see more of this from others. The fact that Chloe stands out here is notable and as whether one takes her as knowing a specific martial art or not is besides the point that Chloe is evidently very tasty in a fight.

Inventor Emilie AU

We've had plenty of stories with dads, uncles, grandpas, and kids who are inventors, but what about MOM inventors? So going off of that, I give you...

An AU where everything is the same, except:

Emilie is alive and a brilliant, though a bit scatterbrained, inventor who makes all sorts of gadgets and gizmos.

She and Gabriel are divorced because Gabriel stopped caring for Emilie's inventions and was willing to compromise and commit to the marriage.

Despite not being as wealthy as Gabriel, Emilie gets custody of Adrien AND her late sister's son, Felix, raising them both with as much love and care as possible.

Adrien adores his mother's inventions and hopes to be a great inventor like her someday.

Chloe and her mom are snarky and cynical, but not mean. This is because Andre and Audrey are longtime friends of Emilie, whose kindness rubbed off on them, at least to an extent.

With help from the Bourgeois family, Emilie patents a number of her inventions. This helps her make a decent income and sends Adrien and Felix to school, where they meet Marinette and Kagami and fall in love with them.

Chloe, while harsh, is relatively friendly towards her classmates, though she can be a bit snarky and cynical. This is balanced out, however, by her sister, Zoe, whom she is fiercely protective of.

Chloe and Zoe share the Bee Miraculous, being known by the public as the Bee Sisters.

Can you describe differences between Chloe and Lila’s hurting of people?

Keeping it super simple(maybe too simple)-

Lila hurts people for internal reasons. She wants something. She hates someone. She would find it amusing. Her hurtfulness is also calculated and meticulous.

Chloe hurts people for external reasons. Thoughtlessness, or maintaining a Status Quo for the most part. She's been taught How Things Should Be(TM) and acts accordingly. Her hurtfulness is usually spontaneous and reactive.

The easy way to see this distinction is that Chloe tends to be at her most kind(for her) when people aren't looking or when cruelty isn't expected of her.

Meanwhile Lila uses that time to plot some new pain to inflict on people.
