#Chloe bourgeois

[sillysiluriforme]

You try once, twice, thrice, you cannot get rid of this thing. You give up. The thing grows up into a janky caricature of yourself. Dumb and mean. It uses the same turn of phrases you do with none of the grace. It doesn’t have a shred of talent. A living black hole. It takes and it takes and it takes. Everyone compares you two constantly. You decide not to let it get to you. You dye your hair again and you book another flight. You’re nothing alike.

To clarify the previous ask, I confess I have two main but extremely divergent versions on it which makes it hard to specifcy things in an ask XD

One would be: how would you handle a post S3 fic where Chloe basically had this realization:

Chloe: This has been the worst day ever and those stupid Kwami didn't even listen! Chloe (Thinks back to the Kwami and what they looked like & then remembers the "Keychain") Chloe: . . . MARINETTE!!!

IE the starting premise is "Post Miracle Queen Chloe realizes Marinette is Ladybug, how does she respond?"

Idea two starts with the premise that Chloe had the above realization but canon otherwise followed its tracks until at least post Queen Mayor.

So basically, "Post Queen Mayor Chloe has known Marinette is Ladybug for a long time and is about to be sent away with her mother or already has been. What does she do with this information to maybe change her circumstances?"

Sorry if that's still too broad ><

No this is much easier to work with.

For your first scenario, with all canon off the table post S3-

Chloé corners Marinette and demands a Miraculous. Not the Ladybug(having it after you? ew!) and not the Bee(That ship has sailed!) but she demands in her words 'A good one!' Without any support(Fu is gone) Marinette hems and haws and actually does cave. (she doesn't know what to do!) She picks the Rooster(sorry Marc, it's thematic)

Marinette wants to know if Chloe is going to help fight Hawkmoth.

Chloe: Help? Help! Marinette I'm not going to play with your little band of losers. I'm going to be the best hero there ever was!

Enter: Crevecoeur (actual French Breed, and the name is perfect)

We're throwing the whole 'Cat Noir neglect' arc RIGHT in the trash to make room for a new arc. We can instead have Cat Noir & Ladybug grow closer dealing with the new situation. That makes a better transition into a S5 love-square collapse into the final ship.

Instead the 'vigilante' arc is the main throughline of S4 (Alongside the Shadowmoth&new heroes)

Crevecour presents the heroes with unique challenges. She is a hero, but also competition. She doesn't fall in line, but she is still a *hero*. She's both very driven, but also gets into trouble. It's a great way to introduce kids to 'third party' dynamics, which is something ML lacks completely.

The Rooster is a very difficult miraculous for Chloe to utilize, but also a good one for her to have *if* she can. Chloe isn't stupid, but she is impulsive. She *can* be clever, but defaults to short cuts. The rooster gives her the power to have *anything she wants* ... ... ONCE.

So she has to fight against her instinct to 'Gimmie!' the first thing that enters her mind. She has to consider, and weigh what she WANTS vs what she NEEDS.

On the upside for Marinette the *in class* bullying drops. Chloe has a new focus. Who cares about a dinky little classroom when you're a real superhero 24/7?

Initially it's very much frustrations and comedies for all involved, but as it progresses a loose affiliation and some teamwork grows out of it. Chloe realizes that *not* being a dick in class gets more attention and interaction. She still may not like/mingle with the commoners but the antagonism diminishes sharply.

As a part of the finale can have her actually return the rooster to Ladybug 'for safe keeping' (perhaps she almost blabbed her ID while under Risk's influence)

Of course then they all get stolen, and THAT might send things in any number of ways :)

for #2

I think the key here is that despite *everything* else, Chloe never blabbed about Marinette's secret identity.

This doesn't mean she is 'secretly good'. It DOES however mean(especially once Marinette finds out she knew- preferably NOT through Chloe telling her) that Marinette now has to grapple(and the audience!) with the notion that Chloe does have *some* sort of principles in there.

She might have despised Ladybug, she might have wanted to take her down, but she never did it in a way that would even hint she knew the two were one person. She would *not* give away the secret identity. Who else other than Chloe would know just how 'sacred' secret identities have to be? Who else could think 'I'll show them I can keep a secret better than anyone!'

The actual chain of events post Marinette finding out in S6 that Chloe knew are very up in the air. You can take it in many directions. The core idea is that people are more than the faces we see them wear in public. For a show about Masks and identities ML doesn't touch on this very much. Most of the cast are simply 'themselves in PJs' when heroing.

Cat Noir was the starkest example of this, but they kind of flattened him out in that regard. Not that merging the two sides was bad, but we didn't really have a solid self-actualization style story beat to go with it. (I mean, we can't give our boy trapped in a tower with no autonomy having a self actualization moment)

I think an interesting dynamic might be that Marinette knows Chloé knows... but Chloe doesn't know Marinette knows she knows. This allows us to have Marinette be the person reshaping the dynamics on her own terms, giving our protagonist something active to do for once in her own plot 🤣

After A Break In

Alix: Chloe, aren't you afraid to be here alone? Chloe: No, not any more. Now that I have "Little Chloe" here. Pulls out a gun Sabrina: Is that a real gun? Chloe: Yeah! Sabrina: I can't believe you own a gun! Alix: I can't believe you call it "Little Chloe."

in the absence of adrien, due to his ever-controlling mother keeping him inside for longer than gabriel did, my initial thought was to hand the cat miraculous to alya for the emilie butterfly au, but that didn't fit the plans i had for her character, so i went through a couple of ppl and settled with chloe

i dont think it fits her quite as well as the bee, but she does know how to be destructive, even if it's in a different way to adrien. mostly im just into the dynamic of her and marinette getting close as partners while fighting as civilians, and seeing if their relationship as heroes can affect their relationship at school

[the-clownery]

having trouble finishing these so imma post a w.i.p I'm planning on doing more than just these guys but to keep from overwhelming myself I'm making them in sheets. These can be used as digital stickers to add to your arts and crafts! Next I'm doing Nathalie, Gabriel and Emilie.

There’s another reason for this.

Chloe idolises power, right? Her parents are powerful, she wants it. She craves it, seizing any opportunity to get it. But Plague King shattered her entire worldview in showing her parents were just human. Power doesn’t last forever and they’ll get ill, unlike her.

Unlike her parents who worked for power. Chloe’s acquiring of power has been carved in literal death and bloodshed. To even get her power to control, she’s murdered and brought back. Plague King is self evident. She does kill Plague King permanently. But causes her power to spiral out of control and she ends trying to repress her trauma. But that manifests as a completely separate version of herself that holds all of her negativity. She becomes Queen of France once, through the death of the old king. She loses it to a rebellion, and is almost executed as a result of it. She becomes Darkblade’s heir. Then she gains the title of Duchess after a Duke died. she becomes Queen of France second time around because they need another monarch after Darkblade is usurped and she was his heir temporarily. The cult that assembles around her is invested in her power.

Chloe gets power, like she had wanted. But now she’s no longer the idoliser, she’s the idol. she sits on a metaphorical and literal throne of blood soaked power, that has distanced her from everything. And she hates every second of it.

She’s finally here!

A comparison of Chloe before and after. I’ve got the important information on the drawing itself, but I’m adding more.

The right image how she looks when she’s using her power. even when she’s not her eyes do have a subtle glow

I’ve said her mental health declines, but there’s another reason as to why. You know how it was said that wearing too many miraculous at once causes people to lose their minds. Yeah, she’s suffering from that. She’s got magic pumping through her every single second and it’s affecting her. eating akumas and sentimonsters that are made of magic isn’t helping either. She’s got immense power on the tip of her tongue and is constantly having to resist to use it

Also why she becomes possessive of Audrey and Andre. She cannot think right anymore, and is running mainly on her emotions. it’s also because the power dynamics have shifted. Before her parents enabled her. Now she’s the one with far more power. She becomes more possessive over them after the Plague King akuma, when she sees their corpses. And after Felix shows her the recordings of Gabriel’s behaviour towards Audrey. And after Gabriel throws Andre down the stairs. We’ll get to that. Her thought process is that if she slowly gets rid of anyone who dares to hurt them in anyway, they won’t get hurt. She won’t outlive them and she won’t have to relive that pain of seeing their corpses ever again. Hence why certain people/ politicians start going missing, she tries to murder Gabriel. even going as far as threatening to eat the French president when he shows up in Paris, thinking he can take over control. Stalking her parents isn’t helping anyone’s mental health though.

What's messed up about teaching kids to cut contact with toxic family members from their life if possible ? You sound like the kind of person who thinks you should forgive your family no matter what they do to you, which is the kind of mentality that gets so many people stuck in abusive relationships (familial or romantic) for years ...

A *child* a *child* you do not cut *children* off. To suggest you cut a child off is nuts. You *help* children. You *nurture* children.

If you don't see the difference between children and adults please take some time to ponder it.

And while we are at it, even some adults, especially family. You help people in need if at all possible, or you get them into contact with someone who can. Yes these people can be annoying, or a hassle, and it can take effort on your part but that's part of building the society you want to see isn't it?

Take your logic- where do you draw the line? If a bratty child qualifies as toxic enough to cut off, who else? Any adult with an addiction right? They're a hassle. People with social issues? Right out, they may even get violent! Homeless? They might be unkept and scary!

You cut and cut and cut until only a select few 'worthy' who think and act the same are allowed anything.

Welcome to fascism!

I don't want that kind of society.

Sure there's a line the other way too, but it's a much less restrictive line with broader definitions. You're still trying to help people who commit overtly criminal acts! Yes punishment but also rehabilitation, and maybe less punishment than we have historically used.

The more you bring people in, the better.

Not only this but a kids show us supposed to be teaching possibilities and positive outcomes. Cutting someone off is a negative outcome, and should be a last resort.

Of the bratty kid and the career criminal politician, I know which Zoé should be dodging if she should dodge anyone.

Sorry for the late response but thank you! I can talk about my Chlogami fic idea more-

The basic premise is Chloe and Kagami get kicked out of their homes, and decided to become roommates to lower the cost of rent/living. Kagami leaves because she switches her major to art, which is something Tomoe fundamentally disapproves of. Chloe gets kicked out because the hotel is doing bad, and Andre needs the space. They’re both college students struggling to find jobs also!

They haven’t spoken to each other since Lyceé, specifically after Marinette’s going away party to New York which has it’s own drama. Chloe has matured, but she’s still….Chloe. And Kagami still has issues talking to people she isn’t comfortable in, but she’s very assertive. This leads to them arguing, but in a more open and healthy way. For the uh, most part-

Kagami does most of the cooking (which isn’t a lot) because Chloe can’t cook yet. Chloe has to sell most of her stuff, which Kagami pushes her through (and consoles her, in her own weird way). They find a TV show they can both fixate on and ignore how cold their place is-

Wish there were ways I could talk about my ML stories (/AUs) ideas…hmmm….
