#Event Mode [Noir AU]

[wilygryphon]

Akumaclass Harem AU

Marinette has a crush (whether she yet knows it or not) on all of her classmates, and when she kisses their Akuma forms (either as Ladybug or as Marinette), their Akumas’ connection to Hawk Moth severs and they regain their normal minds and are able to switch between civilian and Akuma modes.  This also prevents Hawk Moth from Reakumatizing them, as technically they still have an Akuma.

It first happened with Lady Wifi.  Her Akumatized best friend had her locked to the wall and her partner trapped, and she was making a big show of how she had full control of the situation and was going to unmask her to all of Paris.  Ladybug was very attracted to the presented power and was overcome with the urge to kiss her, to the surprise of both of them.  Alya’s normal mind and morality were restored, and Hawk Moth’s connection to her was broken, and she quickly dismissed the livestream sigil and the locks.  She apologizes for everything and drops her Lady Wifi appearance while Ladybug uses the Miraculous Cure.  Marinette wonders what could have happened, but Tikki has no answers that would explain it as being a power of the Ladybug Miraculous.

Evillustrator- Marinette explains the situation to Sabrina adequately, and Sabrina is touched that Mari would agree to the date to help Nath and keep Chloé safe.  On the date, Marinette is genuinely charmed by Evillustrator/Nathaniel and gives him a kiss on the cheek.  This has the same effect as on Lady Wifi and Nath comes to his senses while still appearing as Evillustrator.  Marinette admits that she worked with Chat Noir to trap and Deakumatize him, but Nath tells her that she did the right thing even if he doesn’t like being tricked.  Chat reports to Chloé to tell her that she is safe now.  Marinette wonders how she has this power, and muses the possibilities of if it is a hidden power of the Ladybug Miraculous or something akin to True Love’s Kiss.  In the meantime, she offers to go on a real date with Nath.  When Marinette relays the night’s events to Sabrina, the latter girl is dismayed as she wanted to ask Mari out on a date, but Mari agrees to that.  So she starts dating both Nathaniel and Sabrina, and both are willing to help her with her crush on Adrien.

Ladybug gets this to work with Horrificator but ironically fails to perform it on Dark Cupid.  When Nino tries to tell Marinette he likes her but panics and says he likes Alya and Marinette comes up with ideas to set them up, Alya is annoyed in part because she is in love with Ladybug after the Lady Wifi kiss.  But Alya and Nino still end up falling for each other and start dating.  Ladybug later uses her magic kiss on Princess Fragrance and Reflekta (but not Gamer, Vanisher, or Antibug).  After she comes to understand Chloé’s situation, her pushed-down feelings spark up more clearly rather than having Chat Cataclysm the Bee Comb.  She still takes the Miraculous back to Master Fu and discuss the whole “Akuma Cure Kiss” thing.  While she does not have the Miraculous, Chloé cannot become Queen Wasp again, as the Akuma is in the Miraculous, but she could be Akumatized without it.  Marinette takes part in the fight against Reverser in civilian form due to her Ladybug form being reversed and made clumsy so Marinette has the opposite state, and she kisses them to bring Marc to their senses.  So by the time we get to Heroes’ Day, Marinette is dating Nathaniel, Sabrina, and Marc, while Ladybug has Alya, Mylène, Rose, Juleka, and Chloé pining for Ladybug.

When Vanisher follows Ladybug in an attempt to find the Guardian, Ladybug detransforms and kisses her as Marinette to free her from Hawk Moth’s control.  Every Love-Redeemed Akuma aids Team Miraculous in fighting Scarlet Moth’s army, while Chloé starts out as Queen Bee in the fight before shifting to Queen Wasp to clear out large numbers of Scarlet Akumas when she thinks of it.  Ladybug gets kisses in on Timebreaker (really easy because Scarlet Moth had her stand by because he remembered that she is the one Akuma he doesn’t want to use) and Stoneheart (kept occupied by Horrificator).

[oflgtfol]

vague disconnected ideas about venom noir that have been floating around my head for like, ever, that i havent been able to piece into an actual cohesive noir AU take on venom:

eddie is a muckraker investigating corporate negligence and economic inequality a la the great depression

because of this, he and aunt may are besties yet again just like in 616. because aunt may noir is a socialist <3 he rolls in her circles

if venom 616 was originally presented as an edgy take on spiderman, and spiderman noir literally exists to be an edgy take on spiderman, then i think it would be funny if venom noir was a lighter take on 616

particularly, spiderman noir is villainized by by the people whereas spiderman 616 is a hero; venom 616 is villainized by the people, so what if venom noir was regarded as a hero?

let’s put a particular spin on this too because aunt may noir hates spiderman noir, in line with how the rest of the city views him; so what if aunt may, and the rest of the city, viewed venom noir positively?

dont know how attached i am to this whole idea due to how like, essential to Venom it is to start out as a villain, but whatevs, i do still like the idea i just am not sure if i want it in the final Ideal Version of Venom Noir ive been trying to spin

particularly because like how do i make a noir version of venom without the essential building blocks of venom’s origin story a la eddie being suicidal and wanting to kill spiderman out of a misplaced sense of injustice and entitlement. i need eddie to be a freak. uncertain how to balance that with venom being regarded as a hero more than spiderman in this universe

anyway onto the symbiote now

when reading Who Goes There? by john campbell last week or so i was really trying to a spin a The Thing take on venom and then it hit me. who goes there was published in like, 1937 or 1938 or whatever. that places it a few years after the depression proper but its enough to where i feel like i can take artistic liberty and push it a bit earlier and use it as inspiration for the symbiote’s origin on 1930s earth

so. symbiote is in antarctica. a research expedition uncovers it but instead of going full murderous Thing mode it just casually hitches a ride with its host and is brought back to the US with no problem. or maybe they put it in one of those fucking green test tubes as always and willingly bring it back to the US. i dont know. but its discovered in antarctica and does not go full thing mode but is instead semi peacefully brought back to america

somehow it and eddie find each other

conundrum: what would be the noir equivalent of the sin eater fiasco that would eventually lead to eddie being suicidal in a church where symby found him. because *miguel o’hara in atsv voice* that is a Canon Event to me and i need it preserved somehow

bonus points for preserving symby’s grudge against spiderman too

These are kinks i havent worked out yet

but i will.

one day i will be able to outline my whole venom noir backstory to you all.

One day.

[entelexcheia]

(( ‘AU!’‘AU!’‘AU!’ Gimme all the AUs you can throw at me! Or maybe just one; don't want you burning out. ; w ;

send me ‘AU!’ and i will ramble about an AU i want to use more, develop and have thread in, or one i just don’t get to enthuse about enough on my blog. ( x )

One will do. I’m afraid I’ll burn out if I try to ramble about all of my AUs in one post so thank you for the consideration, hahaha. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Noir AU we came up with though, so I’ll be discussing that one. I’ll be including Yuli in this, if you don’t mind.

I’m honestly not familiar with the noir genre so chances are I’ll be taking plenty of creative liberties, drawing inspiration from many different sources which may or may not even be relevant to noir. If anything, I’d say this is just crime fiction, generally speaking. 

Disclaimer: I’m very bad at world building, especially with AUs that pertain to a specific genre, so please bear with me. 

I’m not going to base this entirely in reality. Loosely, but that’s about it. I’d rather refrain from using real-life locations and real-life events, just out of personal preference. Yes, I know I use real-life stuff in my regular headcanons but give me a break.

So, we’ll start off with an urban setting. My mind goes to New York City, namely Manhattan around the early to mid 1900s. Probably leaning towards the mid 1900s, considering that film noir is associated with the 40s and 50s. 

Overall, the mood/tone is very pessimistic, because that’s more or less what the film noir genre seems to encompass. Corruption and organized crime are prominent in the city and it seems as if those groups, particularly the criminal organizations, have the most power and influence.

And now a very basic run-down of the characters involved in this AU. Not every detail is fleshed out, as I’m still developing them. Details are subject to and likely to change at any time. Feel free to contribute any ideas, if you’d like, especially for Yuli’s involvement in the AU or any of your other muses for that matter. 

Wilhelm

Private investigator. Probably a war veteran, given that post-war themes are common in film noir, so he’s struggling with some form of post-traumatic stress disorder. Smokes and drinks to alleviate the stress from his line of work and generally to cope emotionally and mentally. 

Has a dead wife, because of course he does, and an estranged son, because of course he does. Has a dead personal assistant/best friend too. Otherwise, he doesn’t have any close relatives or even anyone he can really call a close friend, for that matter. Not much emotional support there, unfortunately.

But all in all, he’s really not a bad guy. He may be a crestfallen, pessmistic man struggling with substance abuse but he genuinely wants to expose the corruption in the city and restore some semblance of peace and stability. He’s willing to put in the work and effort to do so, since the city needs that more than anything, more than ever before. 

Charlotte

Popular singer and dancer who performed at various venues. She was well-liked for her voice but she was adored for her beauty and personality. Most of her songs were very hopeful and uplifting in nature, since she performed with the intention of bolstering people’s spirits in mind. She was very much a philanthropic, passionate woman. 

Charlotte and Wilhelm were married and had a child, though Charlotte died under mysterious circumstances. Wilhelm’s still trying to figure out how she died but he fears that it’s because she was a prominent public figure but she was involved with Wilhelm, who was in turn involved in the criminal activity of the city. 

Despite being deceased, she still serves as a primary inspiration for Wilhelm. Her ideals are what motivated Wilhelm to do his line of work in the first place. It’s safe to say that she was his ‘light’ in the midst of a such a bleak, dark world. I know the entire ‘deceased wife’ trope is overdone but look, I don’t care. 

Zizz

A relative of Charlotte’s, though I don’t really know what the exact relation is. Heck, maybe he’s just a close friend. He’s several years older than her, however, and was very protective of her. When she died, he was devastated and blamed Wilhelm for her death. He never liked Wilhelm to begin with, so this just gave him another reason to hate him. He’s very condescending and constantly belittles Wilhelm out of spite, all while reminding him of his failures. 

While he’s a manipulative bastard, Zizz does hate corruption as much as Wilhelm does. He’d be more willing to cooperate with Wilhelm if it weren’t for the fact that he hates Wilhelm. However, he does occasionally, very reluctantly, offer Wilhelm valuable leads and information. Of course, he’ll do it in a very condescending manner but he’ll swallow his pride, even for a moment, to ensure that Wilhelm does his job instead of wallowing in self-pity and self-loathing. 

Yuli

Wilhelm and Charlotte’s son, though he’s currently living with Zizz, who is more or less his guardian after Zizz pulled some strings (hue) to take custody of him from Wilhelm. Zizz loves him dearly, though he cannot stand the fact that he bears a strong resemblance to not only Charlotte, but Wilhelm. As such, Zizz often makes him wear a mask at home. 

He’s also a performer, as talented of a singer as his mother was. As such, he’s regarded as her successor and is well-liked by the audiences. However, because of his sheltered lifestyle, Yuli is only somewhat aware of the corruption in the city. Zizz would rather keep Yuli safe and out of harm’s way, since he believes that Charlotte met her demise because of her association with Wilhelm.

It doesn’t stop Yuli from being curious and wanting to look into it, however. He may be biting (hue) off more than he can chew… but even if he’s estranged from his father and was raised to loathe him, he’ll always be under Wilhelm’s watchful eye, even if he doesn’t realize this. 

Parado

Wilhelm’s assistant and best friend. A pleasant, easy-going fellow. He was very competent as Wilhelm’s assistant not only in detective work, but in many other fields and subjects in general. Had a bit of a gambling addiction, but he’d often go to gambling establishments with the purpose of exposing criminal activity while undercover. 

However, he was very much a risk-taker and had a lot of confidence in himself, perhaps a little too much, which ultimately led to his demise. 

Met a grisly death at the hands of unknown perpetrators but it was at least obvious that he had been killed by the very criminal organizations he sought to expose. His corpse was left (somewhat) intact as an subliminal warning but ended up going missing after a period of time.

Trifoli

Parado’s girlfriend, who works as a pharmacist. A very bitter individual, especially following Parado’s death. While she directs some of her anger and resentment towards Wilhelm, she cannot bring herself to blame him and assists him however way she can. One of the few people Wilhelm trusts and receives support from. 

However, Trifoli is paranoid that she’ll be targeted by the criminal organizations because of her practice with medicine and association with Parado and Wilhelm. She’s already had unfortunate run-ins with thugs who may or may not be affiliated with the crime families.

She won’t sit idly for any longer, however. She has a personal score to settle with the criminal organizations, beyond just exacting revenge for Parado’s death…

Rche

The next-in-line successor of one of the criminal families. Despite his age, he’s proven to be a competent, capable crime boss and quickly overtook his own parents in gaining recognition and notoriety. He’s very cruel and manipulative, enjoying his control over all sorts of criminal establishments in the city. He seeks to assert his dominance, ensuring that everything goes exactly as he plans. 

And because he has a very capable bodyguard (Saruis) and personal maid (Beridzebeth), he’s practically untouchable.

Furthermore, there’s been talk of an immortality elixir that Rche has shown great interest in…

Random ask game idea

Thought this looked neat, so I yoinked it from @kalis-scribbles

If your WIP was a video game, what kind of game would it be?

The Ruby Falls A story-mode First-Person Shooter (rather than the open world RPG it's based on), due to the very linear storyline. But there would be easter eggs, achievements and odd little things to collect (you'd have an achievement for collecting food and filling the Land Rover cupboards, for example)

What Alexis Did Next A JRPG - as in, limited world RPG, with an isometric top-down view, and an ability to choose who's in your party at any given time.

The Skinwalker & Igazinyoka An FPS, but in the style of LA Noire or Half-Life 2, where you have lots of dialogue options and kinda quick-time events.

FF/Tian Modern-ish AU & Elo Investigations An Open World Shooter, kind of like GTA and Saints Row V, where you're limited to one city but you can run around and explore or do side quests in between the main quest.

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Why is it weird that I’ve never met a Bat before? It’s not like Damian or the Waynes have ever seen Ladybug or Chat Noir or the Miraculous Team in Paris, and they’ve been in Paris a lot more than I’ve been in Gotham #confusion #AMERICAEXPLAIN

Jason Todd Lives @BestTodd

@FashionInGotham Whomst the Fuck is Ladybug and Chat Noir?? Also, Miraculous Team Sounds like some magical girl anime Cass watches

Call me Cass @CainYouBelieve

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd 🖕🏼

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve They’re the Paris superheroes, they showed up almost five years ago to fight the little bitch of a villain, Hawkmoth and his stupid peacock assistant, Mayra.

Dick Grayson @AFlyingGrayson

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve @ FashionInGotham WHAT?! Paris has heroes??

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve @ FashionInGotham @AFlyingGrayson Oh yeah, I forgot that the mayor was trying to keep it a secret from the rest of the world #MyB But yeah Ladybug and Chat Noir have been there the longest but there’s also Abeille, Viperion, Ryuko, Pegasus, King Monkey, Bunnyx, and Badulf

Chloe raised an eyebrow at her friend as she saw the tweet thread that was quickly going viral, “You realize my dad is going to flip about this.”

“He deserves it,” Adrian pipped up from where he was painstakingly painting Kagami’s nails a deep burgundy.

The other teen heroes hummed in agreement as Chloe huffed.

“Well Yeah, but I was hoping to do it with a little extra flair than a twitter thread.”

Alix snorted as she finished up Kim’s banana yellow toes, drawing a crude smiley face on his big toe with bright blue, “She’s dating the youngest kid of the most influential family in the world and has like 100 million followers. Plus she called Hawkmoth a little bitch and it already has 90k likes. I call that flair.”

It was a surprise when Nathanial had had his freak out during his second battle,  against a Crimson Peacock event no less, and had called her Lady Marinette in front of the other temporary heroes, but had lead to many nights like the one they were having now. Onesies of each other’s heroes’ identities donned as they lounged around Chloe’s room, simply enjoying each other’s company after a long patrol. Chloe and Adrian had demanded they have a spa night, which is why everyone was either giving or receiving mani-pedis while they waited for their face masks to finish. It was nice, to have so much support outside of the masks, especially as they entered their final year in Lychee.  

Marinette rolled her eyes, “It’s only 98 million, Alix, and plus I figured four months after I made this account was long enough to make the slip up seem genuine. We need to catch Hawkmoth soon, or else this entire mess will get a lot more complex.”

They all frowned as they realized the truth behind her words. They were all facing hard decisions if they couldn’t pin the man down, not like they hadn’t already sacrificed so much to continue the battle. Max had already turned down graduating early and a full ride to MIT, citing his desire to graduate with his friends before moving across the globe. Luka had been invited to tour with Jagged, only to politely decline, telling the pouting rockstar that he wanted to do some soul finding first. Kim had given up a summer training camp with the French Olympic team. Alix had given up going on an expedition with her dad and brother, missing out on the chance to explore the dunes of Egypt. Marinette had turned down three internships at this point, one from Audrey Bourgeois, One from Raven Baxter, and lastly and most devastatingly, one from Edna Mode.

They needed to end this, before the overwhelming feeling of their futures slipping right between their fingers got them akumatized.

Tim Drake Offical @TJDrake

Seeing the demon spawn panic when he realized @FasionInGotham isn’t any safer from maniacs in Paris then she is in Gotham is strangely endearing and vaguely terrifying #whyismyfamilylikethis

Duke of Hazard @DoneWithTheRich

The news swept up the story in an instant and suddenly the whole world was demanding to know what the Parisian Mayor had been thinking and why the Justice League hadn’t been involved.

It wasn’t long until the entire Miraculous Team was seated in front of the Louvre. Countless new agencies from around the world were present, eager to hear the story of the sickeningly young-looking heroes, but the one video that received the most views was the shaky camera videos that were uploaded to Marinette’s Twitter, as they shortened the two-hour-long Press conference into manageable clips that highlighted the most important points.

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

Full Lineup, Damn. Haven’t seen that since the last time we had a Scarlet Moth incident. For those who need context, this is like seeing the entire founding Justice League together to us Parisians.

The clip attached showed A panning shot as they introduced all of the heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir sat in the center of the long table flanked by Vipirion, plucking his lyre absentmindedly, Abeille, glaring down her nose at the reporters, a beaming King Monkey waving excitedly, and an eerie serious Bunnyx sitting as still as a statue to their right, on their left was fierce-looking Ryuko looking ready to slice anyone who got too close, the calculating Pegasus, mumbling under his breath, and lastly the timid Badulf, struggling to keep his red bangs out of his eyes.

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

LMAO RYUKO #DRAGONQUEENSLAY

Don’t question Paris’ Heroes like that, they’re feisty.

The clip showed a British reporter demanding to know why the heroes hadn’t contacted the Justice League previously to gain their assistance in taking down the dangerous threat that was Hawkmoth.

You could Ladybug’s eye twitch at the condescending question, but before she could answer Ryuko leaned forward to the mic situated in front of her with a glint in her eyes.

“I apologize for my English,” She started, “I am not as versed in the language as some of my teammates. To answer your question on why we haven’t had the League’s help is because Green Lantern is a fuck.”

Silence filled the gathering before Chat, King Money and Bunnyx burst into giggles, the rest of the heroes struggling to keep a straight face. The media was staring at them dumbfounded until Ladybug finally leaned forward.

“I’m sorry for the outburst,” She started, lips still trying to twitch upwards, “But as Ryuko said we did ask for help. About five months into our heroship Chat and I received an answer from the League after trying for three months to contact them. The ‘help’ came in the form of Green Lantern coming and assessing the situation. Unfortunately for us, Hawkmoth is smart and when the neon green monstrosity of a hero flew in he laid low instead of attacking when a Leaguer was present. Without an attack and no physical damage present as one of my powers allows me to restore all damage done to Paris or its citizens, He decided we were powered children that were trying to get in the spotlight.”

“Getting lectured on wasting the League’s time and resources before he flew off really put a damper on us asking again,” Chat added in, toxic green eyes narrowed and laser-focused on the reporter, “So we handled it ourselves, gaining our own allies as we needed them. But please continue telling us how the League could have helped sooner if only we had asked for help.”

Clip after clip, ten of them total were uploaded into the thread. Explaining the worst battle the heroes had ever faced, the strength of their enemy, what the villain and his assistance could and would do, the worst attacks, the easiest wins, the ways that Ladybug and Chat chose their allies, but the last two clips seemed to get the largest reaction out of the audience, both at the press conference and the internet.

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Not gonna lie, seeing my tormentors get put on blast by all of the Heroes is very vindictive #IsthatMean? #MaybeSo

“You’ve seemed to have shifted your support away from one local blog, to another over any official news agency,” One of the nicer reporters at the events said, “Is there a particular reason? And why the sudden shift two years ago?”

Chat’s face was strangely pinched, “Oh you mean why we switched from giving exclusives to the LadyBlog to BugOut? It’s quite simple. We go to the news sources we trust to take the information we are willing to give without worrying about ratings as their top priority. We tried going to Nadja Chamack at first, the local news anchor that we all hold a great deal of respect for, but the producers threatened her to get a ‘highly-rated’ interview. It led to her asking questions Ladybug and I thought were counterproductive to the reason we were invited to the interview and was trying to turn us into celebrities instead of allowing us to do the jobs we needed to. It was a similar reason we stopped going to Alya Cesaire, the Ladyblog editor.”

Ladybug took over here, “Miss Cesaire has the ability to be a very good journalist, but as her blog grew in popularity, so did her need for highly viewed content, this caused her to not only start posting more rumors and speculation than anything we’ve ever said but also to stop fact-checking with us things she heard. Even after talking to her about removing the content that was blatantly untrue and was told no due to the high ratings it had received we realized that we simply couldn’t work with her anymore.”

Abeille piped up in a low regal voice that was dripping with venom, “It really didn’t help that when we started interviewing with Aurora Beaureal from BugOut, shortly after my introduction, Miss Cesaire began a smear campaign against her, claiming she was faking her sources and videos publicly on her blog. Luckily we were able to shut that down quickly enough but it didn’t stop Miss. Cesaire from running into battle to distract us, and frankly, harass us for answers even after we told her no. It’s lead to more than one incident where she, other civilians, and even ourselves have been hurt.”

“Either way,” Chat took over again, “We want to support local news sources but only when they are willing to listen to our boundaries and work with us instead of trying to push issues.”

“Does that mean that info we found on the Ladyblog is not to be believed?” Another reporter called out.

“I would take anything after the first post about Lila Rossi with a grain of salt,” Ladybug said, only for King Monkey to snort and lean towards the mic.

“Yeah and if Lila Rossi is mentioned at all in the post just assume everything in that post is fake. Miss. Rossi is a known liar and problem for us.”

“Can you give us an example?”

Ladybug sighed before explaining, “The first time I heard of Miss. Rossi was an interview on the Ladyblog of her claiming to be my best friend. Now I very much value the secrecy I and my team have created for ourselves because it protects our friends and families, but even a lie about knowing me in such a public setting is dangerous because Hawkmoth and Mayra have proven that they aren’t above underhanded tactics to try and get the upper hand in our fights. I went looking for the girl to explain why she can’t say such things for her own safety, only to find her telling a boy that she possessed the Fox Miraculous in a public park. I will admit I called her out in a way that wasn’t very nice but either claim was enough to put her in danger, but both were painting a target on her back and it scared me that someone would do something to impress a boy. After that, she was akumatized for the first time and since then it has gotten even worse despite me apologizing the second I cured the Akuma. Some of her lies are enough to count as Slander if any of the celebrities she lied about knowing saw the posts, but no amount of persuasion seems to get her to stop.”

Watching their powers without the looming threat of an Akuma/Amok is a blessing. They look so cool! #Love #Miraculous

The clip started with the heroes standing in front of the table, grouped differently than before. Off to one side King Monkey, Viperion and Bunnyx stood, Viperion holding a microphone.

“While we would love to an demonstrate our powers as requested,” He explained, “Our powers are not really good for demonstrations. Mine is known as Second Chance.”

He raised his hand and pulled the slider across his bracelet as he named it, a flash of pale teal light admitting from it, “When activated like I just did, it allows me to return to the point of activation at any time before I detransform in fifteen minutes as many times as I wish with only myself remembering the previous changes I have made.”

Without even acknowledging the startled whispers from the crowd, he handed the microphone to King Monkey, who offered a cheeky smile.

“So my power is called Uproar. It allows me to create a toy-like object that when it comes into contact with someone causes all of their abilities to malfunction.”

He goes to pull his staff from where it was strapped to his back only for Vipirion to stop him. A silent exchange passed between the pair before the taller hero nodded and handed the microphone off to Bunnyx.

“Viperion and I have a similar reason for our powers being hard to show off, only his is a little more versatile,” She started in a voice devoid of any emotion, swinging her pocket watch slightly, “I have the power Burrow. It allows me, and anyone I chose to take with me, access to a pocket dimension where I can travel to any point in time or space that I chose, past, present, or future. While you might see me fight during any battle I can make it to, my power is a last-ditch effort, as I would have to travel back in time to change the past if I do this assume the future is unsavable.”

The hush that falls over the crowd was quickly broken by Ryuko tapping her group’s microphone to draw attention to the opposite side of the stage where she stood with Abeille, Badulf, Pegasus, Chat, and Ladybug.

“I believe it’s best to not dwell on any one of our powers,” She told them, “Our powers are scary and knowing that they can be taken from us at any time and used for nefarious purposes keep all of us up at night, but we ask you to trust us to use them only for good.”

She waited a moment for the crowd o calm down before giving her own explanation, “My ability is known as the Three Dragons, the Water Dragon, the Wind Dragon, and the Lightning Dragon.”

She handed off the microphone to Pegasus, before calling forth the Wind Dragon and bursting into a group of clouds that swiftly blew around the stage before traveling over to the Louvre Pyramid and watching as the heroine reformed at the top, offering a small wave before the call for Water Dragon could be heard and a large dome of water formed over the entire courtyard.

Before she could call for her last form the snake hero grabbed the microphone, “Lightning Dragon is a bad idea, Ryuko.”

The heroine didn’t even question him, instead, vaulting off of the pyramid, the crowed gasped only for her to effortlessly land next to Bunnyx in a crouch, brushing herself off as she rose and turned her gaze to the horse miraculous user, who quickly explained his power before calling forth Voyage.

His cry caused blue light to circle his arm and he sent it towards the top of the still-present water dome, with a controlled flick of his arm.

The heroes didn’t even blink as the crowd filled with cries as the Eiffel Tower fell through the portal, Ladybug’s yoyo whipping out to direct it’s decent, the entire courtyard shaking as the 10k ton structure landed.  

“I’m up next!” Chat called out with a large grin, while the reporters didn’t seem to know if they should pay attention to the moved monument or the hero. His explanation was short since they were many videos of him using it but that didn’t stop the international reporters from screaming as Cataclysm swirled around his hand eating away at the Eiffel Tower, leaving a pile of rust in the crater

“Is-Is this much property damage necessary?”

Abeille shrugged, “No, but once we get to Ladybug, it’ll make more sense. Either way my turn.”

An unpleasant chill went up the world’s spine as she demonstrated how she could freeze all voluntary movement of her target on Chat Noir, who was still as a statue the second her stinger touched him.

Ladybug quickly took the mic and began explaining her powers. The world watched in amazement at her pulling a red and black spotted camera from thin air before she launched it into the air with a cheer of “Miraculous Ladybug!”

Suddenly a glowing swarm of ladybugs formed and tore through the air, covering Chat Noir, releasing from Venom, before healing the crater and rust from nearby, dissolving the water dome in the same instance.

If there hadn’t been so many people present the world wouldn’t have believed that so much damage was just repaired in the span of ten seconds, but staring at the unimpressed Parisians around them the world finally seemed to grasp the reality of the situation.

These children were past what one would even expect from metas, from aliens and superhumans like they had seen around the world already. These were heroes that were harnessing the very forces that made up the universe and fighting them at the same time. Bunnyx wasn’t exaggerating when she mentioned that sometimes there would be apocalyptic endings to their fights.

Instead of letting the knowledge stew Badulf step forwarded, twisting the microphone as he explained his power of illusions for the reporters.

With a short tune on his flute suddenly the group of heroes was gone, All that remained was a Sign thanking them all for coming.  Even after the illusion faded the heroes were nowhere to be found, having used the final demonstration as the perfect cover to sneak away so that no one could follow them.  

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

I must say I was not expecting such an outpour of love for all of Our heroes but damn am I pleased by it. Ladybug is our big name but the others are honestly way underloved in Paris, especially Chat who’s been there since the beginning. #MiraculousTeam

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Why am I the go to person for everything Mircualous Team? BugOut.com is a great source if you want more info.

Still Queen Bee @BuzzBuzz

@FashionInGotham Probably cause you're most famous Parsian? Or cause you were a miraculous user once?

Jason Todd Lives@BestTodd

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz IM SORRY?? DID YOU JUST SAY MARIGOLD HAD ONE OF THOSE MAGIC FUCKING GEMS???

Wayne's Angel @FasionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz @BestTodd That didn't come up in the conference did it? A few of the old users of miraculous got outed as heros so LB doesn't call on them anymore, but keeps tabs on them since HM and Mayra will try and emotionally malipulate them into getting akumatized. A few of us bonded over it.

Still Queen Bee @BuzzBuzz

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz @BestTodd @FashionInGotham Its common knowledge in Paris, Mari, me and our other friend @NotaModel all had miraculous at one point, but HawkBitch found out so we can't ever use a miraculous again sadly. I had the Bee, Mari had the Mouse and Ari had the Snake

Dick Grayson @AFlyingGrayson

Why is Damian staring at a wall and not responding? What broke him? #Help???

So I can no longer say I've never seen a Bat before, just saw Signal and Red Robin, I think???

Gonna be real tho, I was expecting to see them in Gotham, NOT PARIS #wtf #Whyaretheyhere????

Marinette had barely sent the tweet before her phone was ringing.

"Are you being serious?" Adrian asked, in lieu of a greeting, "At least two of the Batfam is here?"

"Yeah," She whispered a bit numbly, eyes still focused on the roof she had watched them disappear from mere moments ago. It was far enough away that if she had been a normal human she wouldn't have heard them, but she wasn't a normal human, "Hey Adrian, Don't tell the team what I'm about to say, okay?"

"Are you okay, bugaboo?"  

"Questionable," She didn't even bother rebuking the nickname, "I think I might be dating a Bat."

Even More Carinette AU Ideas Because I Have Nothing Better to Do Right Now

I really don't know why I have so many ideas for a crack AU of all things, and yet, here we are.

Since she spends a lot of time as one, Marinette knows a lot about cars. Some of her classmates say that if she wasn't so into fashion, she'd be a great mechanic.

Marinette has a built in GPS to use whenever she gets lost.

Her subwoofers accidentally go off at times while she's talking, making her shout her sentences.

While Rose loves the shade of pink Marinette's car form is, Juleka is happy they have a getaway car for when she kidnaps Kagami. But she's just joking... right?

Kagami is one of the few people confused as to why Marinette can do this. She also wonders if her self-driving car can transform like Marinette.

Alix offers to give Marinette a new paint job, but Marinette isn't sure what would happen if she transformed back after something like that. It's also why she doesn't want to get a bumper sticker.

Sometimes Marinette will help Luka with his deliveries, mostly so they have an excuse to spend time together. Somehow, she still manages to blush around him in the form of her headlights going off when Luka compliments her.

While most of Marinette's family is okay with her car form, Rolland isn't. Not because he thinks it's unnatural, but because he thinks the model should be older.

Gina also enjoys racing her on her motorcycle.

Lila naturally tries to ride off Marinette's popularity by claiming to have similar powers.

She puts a speaker on a random car and starts talking from a distance, making the others believe she's a car too. She had no idea that car was actually Ms. Bustier's.

Ladybug's car form also changes when using other Miraculous.

As Lady Noire, she can fire her Cataclysm out of her tailpipe.

As Multimouse, she can transform into several toy cars.

As Dragon Bug, she can spray water from her windshield wipers, blow air out of her tailpipe, and shoot lightning from her radio antennae.

Several Akuma battles are naturally different from canon as a result.

When Chloe becomes Antibug, she can transform into a car as well. After she was defeated, Chloe had the taste of motor oil in her mouth for a week.

Ladybug is basically forced to play bait by letting Gigantitan play with her like a toy. After the fight, her legs ached like crazy.

During the events of Robostus, Ladybug falls under the control of the titular Akuma while in car mode, forcing Cat Noir to wing it while trying not to get run over.

Instead of using her Lucky Charm to summon a random car, Ladybug just traps Syren in her trunk.

When she gets zapped by Oblivio, Marinette naturally freaks out after finding out she can transform into a car. It's important to note that this is the only time she actually reacts this way except for the first time. Even then, she mostly accepted it.

If anyone has any other headcanons and stuff like that for this AU, I'm open to it. I actually might write a short story about this.

[gale-gentlepenguin]

ML au: Childhood Soulmates: Volpina

-The first part of the episode is the same, the only shift is that Marinette is more concerned about the lies then jealousy. But instead of stalking mode decides to get a direct read on Lila. Her years with Adrien made her more willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt.

-She doesn’t spy on Adrien in the library, she actually greets him and Lila. Lila noticed how Adrien was so comfortable with Marinette. Lila notices the book Adrien had. And pulls it out to look at. Lila makes note that Adrien likes heroes, that’s how she will pull ahead of Marinette.

-Marinette notices that Lila snuck Adrien’s book into her bag when Adrien left.

-Marinette pursues because of Tikki’s suggestion.

-She sees her plan.

-Adrien had agreed to meet with Lila in the Park because she had something ‘secret’ to tell him.

-Marinette confronts Lila, telling Adrien that she saw her buy that necklace. Tikki snagging the book while their distracted.

-Lila was shocked and claimed it was a lie.

-Adrien naturally believed Marinette, and asks Lila when she ‘Inherited’ the necklace.

-Lila lies about it, but then Marinette asks Lila to check her pocket.

-The receipt for the necklace.

-Lila was humiliated and leaves.

-Adrien was surprised by the event. Adrien asks Marinette how she knew that.

-Marinette confesses that something felt off about her so she followed, and that she knows it wasn’t right.

-Adrien tells her that it’s okay, he knows she was doing it to protect him.

-“Good to know my future wife is looking out for me.”

-Mari blushes and tells him to knock it off.

-Volpina happens but no hatred of Ladybug.

-Volpina does her fake trick. Chat noir is more receptive to Ladybug’s suspicions.

-Volpina is bested in a similar manner, but Lila isn’t mad at ladybug and there is no apology scene.

-Hawkmoth does note that Lila is still angry with Marinette, but that is not of use to him.

-Marinette brings the book to Fu as per Tikki’s request.

Marching Band AU

@elsie-writes inspired me, so here's MORE (didn't want to double the length of their post):

-Penny is saxophone section leader, and Riz absolutely chose the sax and marching band because of her. That, and so he could learn gritty film noir songs

-Riz plays alto sax and is tiny enough his first year that he has to march with a harness and not a neckstrap (harnesses distribute the weight of the instrument across your shoulders and back, neckstraps have it all resting on your neck- really, a saxophone's weight when you march is mostly held up by your right arm, with the sax resting on your right thumb.)

-Riz and Penny get super competitive over who has the worst tan lines. They never take off their neckstraps or gloves and they wear mid calf socks with shorts. Sklonda begs them both to reapply their sunscreen throughout the day.

-Ragh plays tuba!! And he makes walking around with a full tuba on his shoulder look easy.

-Adaine plays mello. Aelwyn is an orchestral french horn player, Adaine has been taking french horn lessons for years. Their parents heard it was the most difficult brass to play. Adaine bombed her youth orchestra audition, saw a notice for marching band, and figured it was better than nothing. First rehearsal, the band director signed her out a mellophone (french horn equivalent in marching band, looks like a big trumpet). She's never looked back, and she is thriving being able to pour her air into playing out loud and proud on an outdoor field. Adaine starts off with a horrible horn angle but eventually is one of the most solid members in the band. (That's how Adaine gets strong!)

-Gorgug has an out of the full-band physical warmup to tune the drums. Picture a tall teenager surrounded by a circle of drums of all shapes and sizes. He hits one a few times, looks thoughtfully, continues hitting it and turns some imperceptible screw, hits the drum at the same time as the drum next to it, shakes his head, adjusts the screw and continues on to the next drum. If anyone's instrument breaks, they take it straight to him.

-Gorgug helps tape the field. He's always there early because he and Zelda carpool and if he's there then he's helping the drum major team.

-Fabian has been known to show up with coffee for his whole section on mornings when they're loading the buses for parades especially early

-they only do trumpet duets in their shows, never solos, because whenever they tried Fig and Fabian got super competitive and showed off a ton in their solo auditions and then separately went to the band director to forfeit and begged them to give it to the other person because they've been working so hard and they really deserve it.

-Gorthalax drives the equipment trailer

-field show themes include "Dragon's Curse" and "Journey Through the Nightmare Forest"

-Ostentatia Wallace and Sam Nightingale are the heads of band council- they throw the best bonding events and resolutely turn down Fig and Kristen's requests for thongs as bandwear every. single. year. PLEASE stop submitting that, there are children present. (They pretend they mean toe thongs for the winterguard, but no one here was born yesterday.)

-they all sleep in a school gym for a week when the band is out of town every summer and Fabian and Ragh get tents banned for everyone

-Fig and Adaine and Kristen and Tracker hypothetically all have their own beds, but what they really have is a shared air mattress island where they all snuggle

-The chaperones are always weary when they figure out room assignment requests for band camp. People who want to room with a friend or two aren't usually a problem. Seven best friends usually are, especially when the eighth person on their rooming request is Tracker, and they've already made covert plans that she and Kristen are going to alternate whose room they stay in each night.

-guard meetings run late after every rehearsal and they're the last ones in the block before parades because Kristen gives long rambling pep-talks (?) reminders (?)

-Fig and Fabian are in crisis mode over how to get Torek, their trumpet first year who is way cooler than them and already super good at marching somehow, to respect them

-Zelda can go down the horn line (literally you put all of your instruments on the ground in a line, sorted by section) and list off who every single instrument belongs to

-Gorgug and Zelda sit together on the bus to performances and watch DCI shows and discuss score increases between competitions in great detail (part of the reason Zelda learned to spin was because she can't join drum corps on flute)

-Tracker and Ragh are bassline buddies and bonded because tubas and bari saxes play a lot of the same parts and march near each other in field shows

-Kristen's little brothers were the banner carriers for a while (usually non-band members, they walk at the front of the band in parades and carry a banner with the band's logo)

(Band is great and I don't talk about it enough! I did 5 years, and spent 2 as saxophone section leader. Or, as I liked to call it, "saxtion leader.")

ML AU Masterpost

Adding all of my AUs to the "Unpenned AUs" section of my primary masterpost would make it too bulky, so I'm listing the concepts here. I will list the names and short descriptions. If these AUs have tags, I will link them; if they are single posts, I will link to the post.

Miraculous Ladybug Rewrite

How I would redo the story of Miraculous Ladybug if I were to do so. Notable details would be: Chloé gets a redemption that sticks; Gabriel is more consistent in terms of his standards and what he is willing to do for his goal; Season 3 finale identity reveal; and Adrigaminette endgame. Here

Marinette is not a Bad Designer

Alright… I’ve seen one-too many bitter posts by fans of Miraculous Ladybug disappointed by Marinette’s deep-down costume choice to not put my thoughts on the matter forward.

When considering a design in textiles, we are taught to critically observe it through two lenses: functional and aesthetic. Simply put: how it serves its purpose and its overall appearance (usually how visually appealing it is). Despite often clashing and getting in the way of one-another, they sometimes are easier to see as concepts that blend into one another. In water colour, if you paint red and blue next to each other, they are going mix to create purple. (I blather when I explain these concepts, so if you wish to get to the analysis of Marinette and Adrien’s designs skip ahead to ***)

As an example for this outlook, I’ll use a cushion on a lounge. Its functions are to provide lumbar support; help maintain good posture; filling the gaps of a comfortable sitting space the lounge may have missed; to last continuous uses; and to complement and accentuate the design of the lounge. This means function will control the shape, size, density, and – to a degree – the fabric choices such as category and type (e.g. woven and cotton respectively) of the cushion, and provide a starting point for the aesthetics via the lounge’s aesthetics. The cushion’s aesthetic purposes on a plain lounge are to create interesting and appealing focal points; on a patterned lounge, they provide plain yet grounding points to bring focus and calm to an otherwise busy design. Aesthetics therefore controls the shape, fabric type and pattern (e.g. cotton or plush, and floral respectively), and notions such as piping and buttons. I have most likely missed a plethora of points, but I am aware I am usually long winded and am an amateur.

Of course, some designs need to heavily lean to one side of planning. A wall-hanging is a piece of art using textiles mediums; therefore it will have dependence on aesthetics planning to be successful. Its function is simply to look good. A tent taken on a camping trip, however, is going to be all purpose. It wants to keep you safe from the elements, and not take up too much room in your car or weight in your backpack. If the tent is made from chiffon, with bolts of cloth dedicated to frills and decorative drapes, it will be bulky; be even more difficult to stuff into its bag than your sleeping-bag; tear easily on the first bit of nature it comes in contact with; and metaphorically take on the properties of fairy-floss when it rains, not only drenching you, but keeping you wet and trapped as the delicate and light fabric becomes heavy and collapses on top of you and whatever unfortunate soul tried to foolishly take refuge in it. One may even say its aesthetic purpose it to look durable. The only acceptation I can think of is a camouflage design, where a specific pattern and frills that mimic leaves are necessary.

***

Through this, I have hopefully illustrated that the relationship between function and aesthetics is one of give and take. Adrien does not give a damn about this. His father may be a famous designer, and whether or not he has shared a few tips of the trade, this boy grew up on manga. He is going to hit this super-hero costume with as much magic-girl that his kawaii desu ne heart possesses. He’s got cuffs; a long-ass tail that has its own pose in the transformation sequence; paw prints on the boots; unnecessary seams and piping; morphed pupils (that may be an automatic change to give him night-vision); and a big bell that rings, for crying out loud. The only functions I can see are steel-caps, pockets, removability of the tail, and claws. Even then I suspect these were mainly chosen for the aesthetics. Even his seams are what you would call aesthetic seams. It’s a suit made from magic. You don’t need seams.

Marinette, on the other hand, is focused on the function of this being a superhero costume. She knows she will be going into battle. Taking leaf out of Edna Mode’s book and then the whole library, she forgoes the iconic billowing cape and anything else that would hinder or even put her in danger her while fighting. Seams, zipper tags, cuffs, tails, and bells can be exploited by getting grabbed by a villain or accidentally caught on an edge or pointy debris while dodging or escaping. She only has an allusion to antenna as ribbons rather long poles sticking out of her head will basically become handles for whomever she is fighting. The only fault I can see is keeping her pigtails (*SPOILER* which we know she can change from the leak of Kitty Noir *SPOILER OVER*). Even then they may serve to create some kind of barrier from the back for her miraculous. She doesn’t need such things as steel caps because her magical fabric is already all the armour she needs.

I’ve had fun creating alternative costumes for Marinette. With function in mind, and wanting to reference the beetle, I added plate armour to the front to mimic the underside of the ladybird; angled spikes on the arms and legs like many beetles have to catch blades and cause damage; white spots like on their head on a black helmet that conceals her identity better; and the red and black shell only as a detachable shield on the back. Apart from being a design more appropriate for an AU, I forgot one important thing that all these features I wanted as tributes to the source material took away. Marinette knew that a superhero needs to be recognisable. Hence, this is the goal of the aesthetics.

The simplicity of the fabric’s pattern is to be iconic. What’s the most salient part of a ladybird? The black spots on their red shell. What pattern has she chosen? Exactly that. She is supposed to be a hero of the people. Someone every citizen can recognise as she swings by so fast she’s a blur. Parisians are going to be attacked so often that the red with black polka-dots needs to inspire feelings of safety, so that when they see her they don’t instantly think she’s akuma they need to seek shelter from. When she rescues terrified and flustered citizens, or toddlers crying for their mother, she needs to be recognised immediately; to create a focus point for the panicked mind; and to inspire peace and a sense that it will all be okay now that she’s here. A plain pattern in bold colours is the easiest way to do this. Adrien has even done this with the almost unanimously black outfit and silhouette alluding to a cat with the ears and tail. Her simplicity is necessary BOTH functionally and aesthetically.

*SPOILER*

In the event they swap kwamiis, they retain their design philosophies, and yet are influenced by someone they love and care about’s take on it. They need to hold onto the established iconic design the other has come up with, yet express they are someone else with their own unique take on it. Adrien keeps the iconic spots as the main feature, but adds panels of black to accentuate the pattern; give a nod to the actual ratio of black to spots on the ladybird; suggest armour; and to add depth and accentuate muscle anatomy. Marinette turns the bells and whistles into lines on the fabric to remove the danger of them while honouring them. Her plat imitates a tail instead of a more-easily-grappled belt and the collar tells of her Chinese heritage. In the event of the mouse fiasco, she needs to alter her design philosophy from hero to “omg please don’t find out I’m Ladybug”. Her colours are the usual palette she wears to inspire Marinette thoughts for Chat; her hair resembles mouse ears and are definitely and defiantly not Ladybug’s piggy tails; and her stripes and spikes, and tail create the farce that she is an inexperienced hero by forgoing the ungrabblable and to be easily recognised as the animal of their miraculous holder attitude Ladybug adopts.

*SPOILER OVER*

Being a designer isn’t just “Ima add frills for days cuz that shit’s tight”; knowing that busy patterns next to each other clash; making things look visually appealing or stunning; or even knowing what’s hot this season. It’s about making something for and around a purpose. And through this, Marinette can indeed retain her title of “good designer”. Thank you for reading my one thousand and five-hundred word essay. I hope this has enlightened some confused and vexed fans.

Noir(-ish) AU - Character Design - Part 2

The pharmacist and the detective’s assistant. 

Trifoli

Trifoli looks... pale. Really pale and kind of sickly, but the more that I thought about it, the more I wanted that to be intentional. Since she’s a bit of a recluse, I could imagine her always confined indoors, either her apartment or her drugstore, so she doesn’t see much sunlight. Ironic for a pharmacist to look sickly, but she’s stressed out and relies on supplements to maintain her health.

Her outfit kind of looks like a school uniform, honestly. That wasn’t the intention. I just tried to design an outfit that I thought would look nice on her and make her look like she was suited to her job. It’s simple, neat and kind of cute. The colors are really dull, though, compared to her original design. Her hair in particular turned out a lot less vivid than her original emerald green color, but I suppose I wanted to make her hair look a little more realistic.

Parado

Compared to Trifoli, Parado looks way more, well, alive even though I dressed him in black and white. The black and white looks a little odd, since it seems like brown or gray suits are more common. If I were to borrow colors from his original outfit though... he’d probably look ridiculous.

I was debating on whether or not to give him a tie but I figured, to contrast Wilhelm’s neat and orderly appearance, Parado would look a little less neat and orderly. He’s still sharply dressed enough but not to Wilhelm’s extent. 

And a really self-indulgent sketch because I’m garbage.

The similar of Frisk's theme

There's a lot of a similar of Frisk's theme and personalities.

1.) Frisk's theme songs

According of the theory, Frisk is a main character of the game Undertale and for the others they're make another Undertale AU (alternate universe). The Frisk's theme songs is "Once Upon a Time". This theme songs was similar like other AU's.

2.) Frisk's battle theme

In the battle event, Frisk's battle theme has only in Glitchtale and Underverse/Xtale. Glitchtale Frisk's theme is "Bring It On" by nyxtheshield and Xtale Frisk's theme is "DUPLICITY" by nyxtheshield. The similar of those themes are the tempo of "Bring It On" at "DUPLICITY" songs. These songs was very similar to hear because of the tempo.

3.) Frisk's genocide theme

At genocide event, Frisk was only has mode of genocide when they're open their eyes. For example, Glitchtale Frisk's genocide theme is "True LOVE" by nyxtheshield. At Glitchtale season 2 episode 4 LOVE part 2 Glitchtale Frisk's eye was open because they gain LOVE so much until the LV turn into 19 in their fight against Bete Noire. And then for Xtale Frisk's genocide theme is "GENOCIDE" by nyxtheshield. At Underverse Origins "Xtale IV : Muffet" Xtale Frisk's eye was open because the overwrite by XGaster in order to make a genocide timeline. For the similar is Frisk's personality was not only good humankind but inside of their behavior is genocide power.

That's all of the theory about Frisk's theme but it was very similar of them and also i'm very appreaciate it.

Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series P1 Edition

PLUS EXCLUSIVE QUE JAMAIS

Écrin pour les modèles hautes-performances Mercedes-AMG, notre nouvel AMG Performance Center accueille désormais la version la plus racée et poussée de la Mercedes-AMG GT créée en 2014, la nouvelle Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.

Équipée du moteur V8 le plus puissant d’AMG, la sportive est le modèle le plus dynamique actuellement présenté par la marque allemande et offre une puissance de 730 ch et 800 Nm de couple, permettant à la biplace d’abattre le 0 à 100 km/h en 3,2 secondes et le 0 à 200 km/h en 9 secondes.

L’EXCELLENCE

Ayant pour objectif, l’excellence, la Mercedes-AMG Black Series a subi différentes modifications.

Barre de torsion transversale réglable sur deux niveaux en carbone léger implantée sur l’essieu avant, châssis AMG adapté aux exigences spéciales d’une utilisation extrême sur circuit, ou encore aileron à deux étages en carbone apparent, tout a été repensé pour offrir à ce véhicule d’exception, une efficience et une agilité hors du commun, garantissant à ses futurs conducteurs des performances routières aussi impressionnantes qu’uniques.

La nouvelle jupe arrière avec diffuseur grand format, les deux caches extérieurs des doubles sorties d’échappement rondes à gauche et à droite, les ventilations latérales des passages de roues et le concept d’aileron novateur marquent de leur empreinte la partie avant.

Les deux éléments de l’aile réalisés en carbone peuvent être déplacés mécaniquement et adaptés à différentes conditions de circulation. Le deuxième profilé ouvrant implanté plus bas est de conception plus compacte et plus étroite afin d’optimiser l’écoulement de l’air à l’avant.

Elaborés dans le cadre de multiples simulations, les supports d’aile très légers mais robustes en carbone noir mat accentuent également l’efficience aérodynamique du véhicule. Ils sont vissés au hayon arrière lui aussi décliné en carbone noir.

Présentée dans une livrée exceptionnelle inspirée de la Formule 1 et de l’actuelle GT3, la Mercedes-AMG Black Series P1 Edition brille de par son exclusivité. Ses couleurs et habillages intérieurs comme extérieurs totalement inédits sont le reflet de la créativité, du savoir-faire et de l’incroyable ingénierie de Mercedes-AMG

JUSQUE DANS LES MOINDRES DÉTAILS

Reflétant la majesté de Mercedes en Formule 1, la Black Series P1 Edition se voit décorée de la couleur verte propre à Petronas. Détails de carrosseries, jantes, surpiqures intérieures mais aussi étoiles Mercedes-Benz en dégradé, confèrent à l’hypersportive une allure plus fascinante que jamais.

L’AMG GT Black Series bénéficie d’une instrumentation entièrement numérique de la gamme AMG GT, avec un combiné d’instruments de 12,3 pouces devant le conducteur et un moniteur multimédia de 10,25 pouces sur la console centrale.

L’écran du combiné d’instruments offre différents designs avec trois styles d’affichage spécifiques à AMG : « Classique », « Sport » ou « Supersport ». La vue « Supersport » avec compte-tours central permet de visualiser de nombreuses informations supplémentaires telles que la demande de montée des rapports en mode de boîte manuel (« Shiftlight »).

Les visualisations sur l’écran média central offrent une perception immédiate des autres fonctions du véhicule. C’est notamment le cas des animations concernant les systèmes d’aide à la conduite, d’information véhicule et de communication.

Les touches à écran couleur innovantes qui équipent la console centrale en V assurent des fonctions d’affichage et de commande pour la logique de boîte de vitesses, le train de roulement, l’ESP, le système d’échappement, le flap de l’aileron arrière et la fonction Stop/Start.

Les touches sur écran TFT indiquent leur fonction via un symbole intuitif et compréhensible et peuvent être utilisées en toute simplicité du bout des doigts. Dotées d’un point de pression mécanique, elles peuvent encore être actionnées avec des gants de course.

Les touches à écran sont complétées par les deux contacteurs à bascule dédiés aux programmes de conduite et au réglage du volume du système audio.

LE MOTEUR V8 LE PLUS PUISSANT DE MERCEDES-AMG

Le nouveau moteur du GT Black Series est certes dérivé du moteur V8 biturbo AMG de 4,0 litres avec lubrification par carter sec, mais il s’est vu attribuer le nouveau code interne M178 LS2 en raison des nombreuses modifications dont il a fait l’objet.

Il délivre 537 kW (730 ch) à 6 700-6 900 tr/min et fournit un couple maxi de 800 Nm à 2 000-6 000 tr/min. Les nouveaux arbres à cames et collecteurs d’échappement sont adaptés à la nouvelle séquence d’allumage et améliorent encore le renouvellement des gaz.

Les deux turbocompresseurs Twin-Scroll sont montés sur roulements sur le modèle de pointe de l’AMG GT Coupé quatre portes pour une réactivité encore optimisée. Sur le modèle Black Series, les compresseurs sont cependant dotés de roues élargies de manière à acheminer au total 1 100 kg d’air par heure.

A titre de comparaison, le débit est de 900 kg/h sur l’AMG GT R. Le régime maximal en continu de 7 000 tr/min n’est pas critique, à partir de 7 200 tr/min, le régime est bridé. Et les refroidisseurs d’air de suralimentation surdimensionnés veillent à ce que la température de l’air de suralimentation reste dans la meilleure plage possible.

Le statut d’exception du nouveau groupe motopropulseur est souligné par la plaquette de moteur dans le ton noir.
