Kamikotized Hero Design

Working on writing the first Hero Shadybug and Claw Noir fought. It’s rather long so in order to save space, I wanted to describe the costume’s finer details here, along with reference pics. If anyone is a talented artist and is accepting commissions, I would be most grateful~

Mireille Caquet as kamikotized hero “Faerie Weather”

Her design is a combination of her weather powers and a korean “fairy” from folklore, a tribute to her korean heritage as well has a pun on “Fair weather” which is the opposite of the “Stormy Weather” akumatized villain that Hawkmoth created.

(In the universe of Shadybug and Claw Noir, Aurora became the weather girl instead of Mireille, but rather than being bitter about it, she is supportive of her friend but wishes there was something she could do when terrible weather conditions threaten to destroy a very important event)

Her hairstyle is the same but her hair is now a pale lavender and her eyes a golden sun yellow. Instead of her normal human ears, she has long, pointy, elf-like ears that stick out of her hair for a cute, pixie-ish effect.

She wears a korean hair band and the ornament in the middle of her forehead looks like the sun peeking out from behind a gray cloud and there are 3 strands of blue, raindrop shaped beads that hang down. (See reference photo for hair ornament placement)

Via make-up, her face is just slightly paler than her usual color and she has more pink peachy blush on her cheeks than usual, a bold, bright lucky red lipstick (to symbolize strength), and peachy-red and white eye make-up that is dramatic but modernly stylish rather than traditional. (See eye make-up reference photo)

Her costume is similar to hanbok (traditional korean wear) with the jeogori (top) being a bright sky blue with white trim and canary yellow ribbon bow. There is sparse embroidery on the blue section and it looks like fluffy white clouds with an occasional rainbow. Sleeves are traditional shape and length.

    The chima (skirt) is shorter than traditional length, like a casual modern hanbok style or that of a magical school-girl (but not pleated or ruffled) it comes to just above the knees but the majority of the upper thigh is still covered because while Mireille is a modern teen, she still dresses modestly because that is her comfort level.

The skirt is white, as is her leggings- not only because it symbolizes purity and innocence, but because white hanbok in korea represent resistance and petition against injustice and abuse of authority (it does not symbolize death like a white kimono does in japan).

     There is very little embroidery on the bottom edge of the skirt and it looks like golden outlines of shining suns. (Optional if you think it looks too busy)

          Her shoes are traditional unhye in canary yellow- to represent taking action.

         (These are to incorporate the 5 colors of korea which is found in most traditional wear, with the exception of black (death) which has been replaced with the pale lavender for a gentler look.)

Her item that contains the kamiko is a traditional rounded hand fan, dandeon.

The tasseled knot hanging from the bottom of the fan is rainbow. The picture painted on the paper part of the fan changes depending on the power she wishes to use- if she wanted to use the power of wind, she would spin the handle to flip the fan to the other side and you would see a picture of a gust of wind blowing away clouds. For rain, flip again and the picture changes to dark clouds with rain falling, etc. Then it is simply a matter of waving the fan in the direction she wishes the selected weather to go, just like how in canon, Stormy Weather/Climatika had to point her parasol to direct her powers. Please draw a weather symbol of your choice. It should be simple and cute- like the kind you would expect a teen weather girl to show the forecast on a map. 

She does not fly with wings, but like an asian dragon does not fly but rather grabs clouds to crawl across the sky, Fairy Weather steps on tiny blue balls of flame (no bigger than tennis balls) like stepping stones. (This is another nod to old Korean folklore).

 She still has Mireille’s gentle smile.

Unlike the garish/clownish villains that Hawkmoth creates, the kamikotized heroes that Betterfly creates are beautiful/handsome/cute and actually stylish.

Frenglish differences in Miraculous - Episode 1

Stormy Weather/Climatika

Alya to Marinette

En: You're just a pushover, Marinette.

Fr: Tu te fais mener par le bout du nez, Marinette

This one is hard to translate. Literally, it would be "you're getting led by the tip of the nose", but it basically means that Manon has her twisted around her little finger. To me "pushover" sounds a bit harsher from Alya.

In French, Alya calls Manon "asticot", which means worm or maggot. It's an affectionate nickname (I swear) used for little kids who move and twist around a lot. (She says “small fry” in English.)

Vincent (the photographer) to Adrien

En: Come on now, I want to see hunger in your eyes.

Fr: Je veux sentir le soleil se coucher dans tes yeux.

I want to feel the sun set in your eyes.

Vincent to Adrien

En: And now, you have to eat the spaghetti off of the floor.

Fr: Tu es surpris, oui, la surprise.

You're surprised, yes, [play] the surprise.

Who translated that to English I just wanna have a talk.

This one is just a language thing but in French, baby doll eyes are referred to as "yeux de petit chat", which means kitty eyes.

Chat Noir to Stormy/Climatika

En: What's with all the terrorising? Why don't you pick up on someone your own temperature?

Fr: Ton arrivée a jeté un froid. À cause de toi y'a plus un chat dans le quartier.

Your arrival cast a chill. There's not a soul (lit. not a cat) in the neighbourhood because of you.

In french, "there's not a cat out there" is a saying meaning the place is empty, and a pun coming from Chat Noir.

Chat Noir, after Ladybug helps him get up

En: Why thanks, m'ladybug, but I had it covered.

Fr: C'était voulu, ma lady, pour le plaisir de te retrouver.

It was on purpose, my lady, for the pleasure to see you again.

This is probably one of the prime examples of the reason a lot of people prefer the french dub over the English one: Chat Noir’s sweet and charming line in French got turned into a more dismissive one in English.

And her reply

En: No time for your childish charm, Cat Noir. But you're welcome.

Fr: Dis donc, c'est pas le moment de jouer les charmeurs, Chat Noir. Un merci aurait suffit.

Hey, now's not the time to be a charmer, Chat Noir. A "thank you" would've been enough.

Chat Noir

En: A little Cat Noir will take the wind out of her sails.

Fr: La miss météo elle commence à me hérisser le poil.

This weather girl is starting to rub me the wrong way. (lit. "ruffle my hair" as in cat hair, but it doesn't make much sense in English and translating it to "ruffle my feathers" would defeat the point of the pun.)

Here they changed the cat pun into a weather pun.

Ladybug about Stormy weather/Climatika

En: Maybe she's got some unresolved anger issues.

Fr: C'est moi ou elle a un caractère un peu orageux?

Is it me or does she have a stormy character?

A weather pun that got lost in translation.

Could Vampigami be a Nukekubi like Akuma form of Kagami?

That would be so sick. Obv they wouldn’t be able to do anything super scary looking or gory at all, but I could imagine them giving her a disembodied, floating, ghoulish head that goes after people. I love the idea of a yokai-themed Kagami akuma, and with all the folklore villains they have already, I’m surprised they haven’t done one already. A Rokurokubi form has potential to be really cool, too, but it might be too nightmare fueling. Or goofy looking. The character designers are gaining my trust back though after seeing the new Miss Hound.

I hope your theory is true because in a season where Climatiqueen is in fact not Climatika and Dessinatriste is not Dessinateur, Vampigami could truly be anyone. Yknow what I think El Toro de Piedra is very much probably not Ivan. Vampigami could just be a random Japanese guy who doesn’t like seeing his reflection in mirrors so he turns into a vampire or something. Or someone’s pig friend turns into a vampire pig, vampig (mon ami). Expect the unexpected. I’m getting the sense the writers are trolling us.

Does Aurore feel any sort of way about being pushed out of being the face of the group? I remember you had said she feels a lot of the pressure because of her parents but I imagine that would make it feel like a sort of failure

Her being pushed out of being the leader of the group is, in La Terreur, what pushes her to become Climatika/Stormy Weather! Safe to say, she does not feel great about it.

Aurore overestimates the amount of agency she has in her life—Her mom sells the 'leadership role' to her as her being in charge of things, as being the vendor and not product. So, when she's pushed out of that position, she freaks out because the rest of her team is filled with dumbasses who don't get it! They don't understand how to be the main girl the way she does!

Season 6 of ML is a direct reflection of Season 3: Here's why

Going into season 6, the writers claimed that this would be a new beginning, a reset on everything that has happened so far. And to a large extent it is.

No longer are we expecting serialized episodes, and have thus far been treated to several expositional episodes, where we are introduced to new and old characters and situations.

Some might consider this a "new season 1" a brand new beginning to welcome in arc 2 of the miraculous ladybug story. However, I think that this is a misrepresentation of season 6 as a whole. And I believe from what we've seen so far of this season, and what has been teased to us, that this season relates far more to season 3, than it does to season 1.

For starters, let's talk about the most obvious comparison the call-back to season 1 episode 1's Stormy Weather. While we have yet to see episode 1 of season 6, the weather-themed akuma "Climatiqueen" sounds to be a clear reference to the French name of Stormy Weather "Climatika".

In both these instances, the reference back to the first episode effectively functions as a reset. In season 3, "Stormy Weather 2" serves as an introduction point to the latter half of the season and a way to distance the more "frivolous" early episodes from the more important and high-stakes latter episodes. In season 6, it functions as a transition from what we saw in season 5 to what we are to expect in season 6.

There are a few more episode call-backs in season 6 to season three, but of all of them, this was the most convincing of intentionality on the part of the writers.

Next comparison we see is with Lila, and how she "changes targets". The episode Chameleon in season 3, is when we start to see a major shift in Lila, specifically in her focus from Ladybug to Marinette. While she still targets Ladybug after this episode, this is where we start to see a decline, until we get to season 5, and she's all but forgotten about Ladybug.

In season 6 too, we see her begin to shift again. While in episode 2, we see her obsessively watching Marinette and Adrien's date, this is ultimately in pursuit of Ladybug. The shift has begun. If my analysis is correct, we will see more and more of a preoccupation with Ladybug from Lila (Cerise?) and less of a focus on Marinette in Lila's antagonistic role

(Also wanted to point out this amazing call back to season 3 episode 1 "Chameleon it's very on the nose)

What's also important to note is that while season 3 might have been episodic, the information relayed in each episode was vital, and nearly all of it was brought up in subsequent episodes/seasons (re: new heroes, chat blanc, the statue scene TM). With season 6 so far, this appears to also be the case. The episodes are episodic, but I would hardly call them fluff. We've been told new lore, understood ever-changing relationships, and have been privy to the delicacy in which virtually all characters exist.

This frailty is something that we actually see a lot in season 3, especially in relation to secret keeping. In season 3, we have Kwamibuster, Desperada, Weredad, Chat Blanc, and Ladybug. All episodes that either reference, or center around issues relating to secrets and identities. In season 3, we actually see the most threats to secret keeping. Season 4 by comparison only has 3 (gang of secrets, wishmaker, and ephemeral).

Secrets are winding their way around the plot of season 6 as well, a threat that appears most pointed in the most recent episode "Revelator". The delicate tether of these secrets seem precarious to us viewers, just as they did in season 3. And just like season 3, they're bound to break at some point, in a catastrophic and calamitous way...

Which leads me to the whole reason I made this post and why I think the writers created this reflection...

The episode 22 slot.

Just to be clear on what I mean by that, here is the 22nd episode of season 3:

and here is the 22nd episode of season 6:

The tenterhooks of identities in season 3, eventually came to a head in the episode "Chat Blanc", an episode where we learn what would happen if they knew each others identities. An episode where we say Adrien get akumatized for the first time.

So far, every clue seems to point to Marinette being akumatized this season, right down to the name of this villain "Lady Chaos" seems perfect of a callback to Ladybug for me. And with the way this secret has intertwined with Ladybug's identity, relationships, and reputation, there's no shortage of reasons as to why she might get akumatized.

Right now, in these early season 6 episodes, we are being provided the tools to allow her to finally get akumatized. Alya has a kwagatama and can reference Marinette to defeat Marinette. She also has been named Marinette's successor if necessary (and has a premade suit). Chat Noir has the ability to remove the memory of Ladybug's identity from anyone's mind. And most importantly, we have been provided a motive, over and over again.

After all, let's not forget this call back...

Akumanette is coming... the only question is what will remain in the aftermath

[sufferingink]

really admire the way season one of Miraculous Ladybug makes it clear that Ladybug and Chat Noir are both incredibly badass and also incredibly stupid

In Climatika/Stormy Weather, Ladybug cuts through the side of a bus with just her yoyo and makes a plan that works flawlessly in two seconds. she also gets hit with a fire extinguisher and face plants directly on the ground.

Chat Noir immediately adapts to a completely dark room and drags his partner with him to capture a super villain. he also eats shit after trying to be funny at said super villain.

nature is balanced

Manon = Lila/Cerise ?

Je dois avouer que j'aime beaucoup la théorie Manon = Lila/Cerise. J'avais déjà noté des petits détails dans la série qui vont dans ce sens et que d'autres personnes ont déjà relevé, mais je voulais rajouter ma pierre à l'édifice :

Dans Climatika (VO : Stormy Weather), lorsque Marinette se retrouve à courir après Manon pour récupérer son chapeau, Manon dit :

"Mais moi aussi je veux travailler dans la mode !"

En VO, la phrase est légèrement différente : "But I wanna be a fashion designer too!" mais cela n'enl��ve pas vraiment l'idée de la scène.

Alors comme ça Manon veut travailler dans la mode ?

On connaît tou.te.s quelqu'un d'autre qui a eu une fulgurante (et courte carrière) comme mannequin et égérie de la marque Gabriel 😏

(Et Manon a également eu droit à son photoshoot dans l'épisode Climatika) (et tiens donc, même spot photo 😏)

(Cette théorie est peut-être complètement fausse, mais en attendant, seul l'avenir nous le dira 🙃)

Rebooting Coq a Day Countdown! 17 16days to go!

But I'm just gonna post once a day about stuff in the fandom tags, finding pictures of good looking coqs is very hard and i would rather focus on the fact that SEASON 6 IS COMING ON JANUARY 25TH

Does talking about the episode titles count as leaks? Cuz like, today i mostly just wanna laugh about history repeating itself, I'll tag and put it under a read more to be safe

Edit: thank you random citizen for clarification on if titles count as leaks~

There's currently rumors saying that the episode that will air will be 602, which is currently named Illustrhater

Which FEELS like a Nath-centric episode

And please, remind me, its been like ten years, but in season 1? Wasn't Climatika first and Evillustrator second and didn't they both get aired as first episodes in different countries?

Aurore, honey, sweetie, I'm so sorry the bisexual hot mess keeps flouncing to the front of the line

Dont worry darling, i love you

I do however also love Nath so I'm quite happy to get him first, it will help with my current stories so much

[jacquesthepigeon]

Yeah I'm not buying the s6 titles tbh

The french ones BIG maybe but the english ones are definitely fan-translated.

Climatika was stormy weather in french, climatiqueen as an upgraded climatika makes sense in french only. That's how they dealt with sole crusher/destroyer, sole crusher was pirkell in french (let's not talk about that name 💀 pirkel sounds like "pire qu'elle" which means "worse than her") and then sole destroyer literally became "pire que pirkell" 🤡 "worse than worse than her"

All that to say, sole crusher and sole destroyer both got different translations in french, no reason for climatika and climatiqueen to be any different

[bananagreste]

Hey, I got a giant scoop for you!

[princess-of-the-corner]

Climatiqueen too, considering Climatika is what's Stormy Weather is called in French

mm!

[sillysiluriforme]

Hey so between the GG who cracks first and lashes out at their manager

Aurore still becomes Climatika/Stormy Weather, her temper is definitely the worst but she often lashes out at the other GGs first since they're 'below' her. If she lashed out at anyone higher up, it would be her parents.

Estelle would probably be the first to actually lash out at a manager though.
