[lara-prism-light]

Redesign(and rewrite) of Alya and Rena Rouge for my Miraculous rewrite.

The original design was too generic for me and didn't look like a girl who has a blog. I know a Ladybug themed t-shirt that she would start wearing after the heroes' popularity kicked in, She wears a plaid jacket, jeans and boots. I chose this style because I thought it suited her a lot, and yes, I made her hair curlier, and a thousand apologies if it turned out bad, I'm still trying to learn how to draw curly hair TwT

As you can see I also moved the mole a little above her eyebrow, the original position would be covered with her hair. And yes, I decided to dye her hair orange at the ends, I don't know, I thought it would look cool, let me know what you think.

Alya is still Marinette's classmate, and in the beginning she has a very empty blog with very few followers (who would be her closest friends) but before the Ladyblog she would talk about heroes about heroes from other countries, since at the moment Paris would not have heroes yet. She takes a liking to Marinette after helping and defending her from Chloe and showing off the rest of the school (in this rewrite Marinette is a new student at the school as well as Adrian).

She and Nino are very close and she likes superheroes a lot and wants to be a journalist when she grows up. As soon as Ladybug and Chat Noir arrive, she begins to document everything about them, to the point of becoming an obsession of hers that ends up consuming part of her life. Her family and friends, especially Marinette would try to bring her back to reality but she would be trapped in her obsession of discovering who her beloved heroes were.

That was the perfect motivation for Hawkmoth to send an akuma to her, turning her into lady wi-fi, which would go after the heroes looking for their dear answers. She would be defeated and Ladybug would explain how important their identities were, which Alya, after learning that her best friend Marinette was very dejected by her selfish actions, realizes how wrong she was, almost giving up on her dream but being motivated by ladybug to keep dreaming, and that one day she would be an amazing journalist.

Even more inspired by Ladybug, and even more affected by her amortization, Alya begins to change her investigation focus, she no longer wanted to know the identity of the heroes, but that of the villain. She would start balancing her normal life with her little investigations into where the villains came from and who was behind them, and seeing her family, friends and boyfriend being akumatized, She grew to hate Hawkmoth, and wanting to bring justice to those he hurt and manipulated. This attracted the attention of the curious and treacherous Trixx, who felt curious about the number of times he saw her close to danger looking for clues, but he could also feel a desire for justice coming from Her. And then one night, during an akuma attack, she got tired of being useless and tried to help, even though she knew it would be dangerous, but was told to stay out by Ladybug and Chat Noir. Trixx appeared to her and gave her the Miraculous of Illusion, so that she could help her idols and protect her beloved city as Rena Rouge!

I didn't change much in the design, out of all the designs on the show this is one of my favorites but I still added road details. She now has an orange jacket, her knees have white diamonds, and her wrists and heels have fur. The ears are now like a bow for her ponytail, and the cream colored part of the ear contains a dark tone in the middle. Other than that, everything else is the same, just with some additions of different shades of orange.

Trixx gets a tuft of hair too, I thought it would look cute :3

Her flute still has the power to create illusions, mirage is still her main and strongest power, but now she needs to focus on the illusion to keep it as realistic as possible. Her illusions are now much more realistic, when using her illusions she can almost warp reality enough to make her illusions semi-physical(like the phantom ruby ​​from Sonic forces) The more intense the illusion the more she needs to maintain focus.

She can also use camouflage, it's practically the ability to become invisible, but for that she would need to hold her breath. I based it on the fact that foxes are known to be sneaky, and with that Rena would be able to sneak past enemies without being noticed.

Like ladybug and Chat Noir, it also contains a special effect, this effect would be the hallucination effect, With that effect she would play a melody on her flute that would cause a mental confusion in the akumatized that would make them hallucinate for a few minutes until the music stopped. It's more of a distraction but depending on the akumatized it could very well be dangerous. More additions to powers can be added, like a Ktsune-based power or something like that. Tell me what other powers she could have.

As a character, Rena Rouge would be the type to play pranks on other heroes in her spare time such as on patrols and important meetings. She would be close to Ladybug and Chat Noir and would follow any of their orders, but at the same time respect their privacy when she could. She would always go out at night to investigate Hawkmoth alone, but would start to be accompanied by Chat Noir who would also go out at night to patrol alone.

She was always going to interrogate the akumatized about their conversations with Hawkmoth but didn't get much out of them. That is, until a whole group of villains appeared who seemed to be much stronger and had a greater connection to Hawkmoth, filling her with even more questions and leaving her exhausted from investigating.to the point that she couldn't even post anything on the blog, seeing it as something not very important anymore.

Much more is yet to be rewritten about Alya and Rena Rouge, stay tuned!

Sumbitted prompt

First of I love your blog and I love the salt! I don't actually watch this show as I'm more interested in the Fandom. But here's a prompt that I thought of

So after adrien comes back to his room after talking down to Ladybug after a particular grueling Akuma battle that he left her to do all by herself till the end, which is then when he decided to show up. Plagg is furious as he is able to see her near tears of anger and frustration because of his holder actions. He tries to talk some sense into adrien, saying that it's not only irresponsible and unfair on ladybug but downright dangerous and negligent. Adrien refuses to listen to him, trying to blame Ladybug for not accepting his feelings. "All she has to do is accept that its destiny to be together! It's not my fault she's being difficult!"

that sends Plagg nearly off the deep end. He starts yelling. and not just regular yelling, no, yelling in a way that made it seem like there were multiple of beings surrounded adrien. Even when he covered his ears, he could hear the kawami loud and clear. It was the only thing he could hear. It was the only thing Plagg would let him hear. "You are not entitled to someone else affections! You are supposed to be a hero! Not just that but a good partner as well. I grow tired of waiting for this selfish attitude to dissolve! I have never had a black cat holder as selfish, irresponsible, and infantile as you! It's like your not even a-""

And that's where plagg stops their rant. Realization dawning on him as he stares down at a fearful adrien. Seeing him, truly seeing him. He couldn’t make any more excuses for now. He should've never made them in the first place. Because now, he's just as responsible as this false holder is. He has to make this right as soon as he can. He apologizes to adrien while resisting the urge to hiss at him. He blames his outburst on being hungry. Adrien is too shocked to respond with more than okay. They both part ways for the day. And as it turns to night, Plagg sneaks the ring from him while adrien sleeps and flies off. He doesn't look back either, determined to right this terrible wrong.

[blushingdread]

Hi MLB fandom, I am a passerby that tried to watch the show for my GF and failed, but I have read a bunch of fanfics and I think Butterfly Emilia would be cool as fuck

Some headcanons:

The butterfly does long-range magic by connecting to others and giving them magic, they're weapon isn't a weapon. It's a tool for communicating with their champions. Emilia has this big ass old timey microphone bc she's a former performer (actress if i rember correctly?) And she's all for the dramatics (Gabriel would have a head set) Despite it not being a weapon, she still wacks people with it

She has seven different pieces of butterfly jewelry on her transform (2 earrings, 2 rings, brooch, hair piece, and one holding her skirt in the back) fighting her directly is very annoying because they have no idea which fucking one is her miraculous

You may notice she's not wearing a mask, just makeup. Her face has been run through every database known to man. The cloaking magic makes it impossible to actually figure out. She doesn't really see herself as a villain, and she doesn't read comic books. Her outfit is more of a performance outfit (Marinette likes western comic books and is super hero themed, Adiren sees himself as a magical girl)

Her main motivation is that she's a MASSIVE control freak with entitlement issues. She was born rich rich and stumbled upon God jewelry. She is drunk on power 24/7 and doesn't think consequences exist. She wants to revive Gabriel bc she loves him. She's terrorizing Paris bc she thinks her happy ending is the most important and doesn't care about anyone else

Gabriel "died" from using both the peacock and butterfly to make Adiren (who Emilia designed herself, with blueprints) despite the fact that Noorou and Duusuo told them that using two miraculouses at once was a bad idea. He's her SIMP

Natalie is her childhood friend who is used to her "eccentric" behavior, and isn't in on the evil

Monarch constantly hyjacks tv/radio waves to harass the heroes. "This would be all be over if you just gave me your miraculous", "Why do you have to drag out this conflict? I just want to fix the wrong thing this magic caused.", "did that old man tell you anything before he gave you those?" <- at first. She tries to have good pr by making all her akumas only capture and sometimes helping people, but eventually she shows her true colors and she's no longer able to make the media call Ladybug and Chat selfish for not giving her their miraculouses. After her flip switches, she still does this, but it's more obvious. "This is all your fault, you know."Maybe I'll just keep doing this at 3am :D." kinda shit

Let's Adiren go to school bc both of the Kawami were like, "He doesn't actually love you. You just made him love you. You're actually a shitty mom." And it hurt her pride so much that she let her control of him slip to prove that he prefers her, and then he wanted to public school and it made her so maddd that she constantly targets the school to scare him and chase him back into her arms "of his own free will"

Emilia thinks Marinette is absolutely perfect and fits in her family so nicely. Except for some minor defects, she can correct ♡ much to Mari's slow dawning horror

Very vindictive and petty. Like, have a butterfly follow Ayla around for a week for reporting on her petty. She is doing psychological warfare on the children

Let's Chloé be childhood friends with Adrien literally bc she makes him uncomfortable, seee how good your mom is compared to others + Really likes Audrey and having perks from the mayor which means they have to be childhood friends

☪︎ podsumowanie

zjedzone — 1150

nie chciało mi się w cholere wstawać rano więc spałam 20 minut dłużej niż zazwyczaj, godzinkę po wstaniu zjadłam owsiankę z jogurtem i brzoskwiniami od chłopaka mojej siostry z działki są niesamowicie miękkie i pestka wychodzi niemal sama, nie trzeba się z nią napierdalać. w liście rzeczy do zrobienia miałam ogarnięcie kilku karter w dzienniku który prowadzę. miałam zrobić kalendarz do szkoły i taki tracker do sprawdzania różnych nawyków ale ostatecznie zrobiłam tylko to pierwsze xD jest przeznaczony wyłącznie na terminy jakichś sprawdzianów, ja naukę na jakiś test wolę zaczynać np. tydzień wcześniej i wtedy uczyć się 10 minut dziennie zamiast kuć całą noc przed więc taki kalendarz pomaga w planowaniu co mam danego dnia zrobić.

proszę nie czepiać się moich plastycznych skillów

robiłam z mamą gołąbki które nie chciały się upiec, w oczekiwaniu dopadł mnie niezły głód, zjadłam jednego herbatnika i tak mi mózg wysłał sygnał by wziąść jeszcze kilka. szybko wycofałam się z kuchni, godzinę później przekąsiłam jabłko i śliwkę. dzisiaj sporo jadłam warzyw i owoców całego pomidora, paprykę, marchewki, śliwki. znowu mam problem aby się wypróżnić, ostatnio było to chyba w poniedziałek lub wtorek? jezu chyba będę jutro zmuszona wykorzystać patent z dwoma kawami.

potem wzięłam się za sprzątanie szafy, wyrzuciłam kilka bluz których nie miałam na sobie od dawien dawna i które często miały na sobie jakieś plamy nie do zmycia. moja mama oczywiście srała się że przecież szkoda to wyrzucić 😰 no nie wiem, ja wolę oddać to do kontenera z ubraniami niż trzymać aby zawadzało mi na półce. uparła się że coś tam odda mojej kuzynce, wątpię żeby to nosiła, ale niech robi co chce. zajęło mi to prawie dwie godziny, potem odkurzyłam cały dom i ledwie skończyłam jechałyśmy na cmentarz 😶 tam sprzątałyśmy kolejne dwie i dopiero wróciłam do domu. ogromna ilość grobów do ogarniania nam się nagromadziła, moja mama jest jeszcze pedantką więc nie jest to tak że tylko przetrzemy płyty nagrobkowe i adios ona serio nam to każe szorować od podstaw. uznałam że nie chce mi się iść już na żadny spacer chociaż mam tylko 3000 kroków, zrobię sobie jakiś trening polegający na chodzeniu przed snem i dobiję chociaż do tych 8000.

kończy się kolejny miesiąc, nie mam zbytnio co tu podsumowywać. pomiary zrobię w poniedziałek, pisałam ostatnio że mam to wrażenie jakbym trochę schudłam. przede wszystkim moja piżama zrobiła się luźna, jest w rozmiarze XS i wcześniej była taka na styk, teraz góra ciała trochę zwisa. możliwe że coś się stało w praniu, a ja się łudzę, nie mam pewności, dowiemy się w poniedziałek. przeczytałam w sierpniu tylko dwie książki Pacjentka i Szklany Zamek a także połowę Lalki. większym sukcesem było skończenie pisania opowiadania. 7 miesięcy, prawie 600 stron i mnóstwo godzin spędzonych przed laptopem, jaram się trochę swoją dyscypliną — kiedy zaczynałam miałam cel pisać 1000 słów dziennie i bardzo się tego trzymałam, godzina 21 oznaczała dla mnie siadanie do pisania. potem zapał lekko spadł ale dalej szło mi gładko, jedynie ten ostatni rozdział był okropny, może dlatego, że nie chciałam rozstawać się z historią. śniła mi się dzisiaj kontynuacja, stwierdziłam że na pewno będę pisać druga część tego dzieła ale potrzebuję trochę odpocząć od tworzenia.

poproszę o modlitwę w intencji moich jelit abym się wysrała w końcu

[carpetbug]

I just got to read both chapters of your AU, and I am really intrigued. I assume Master Fu's death happened before school started, right?

I wonder how seeing a brutal crime scene is going to affect a 13 yo girl.

You mentioned that Adrien would get the Ladybug Miraculous, but not due to Marinette's choice. So does she know Adrien is the holder? Or did she lose/the Kawami took action and Adrien got the earrings without Marinette's approval?

Also, without Fu here, there is no rule that the "Black Cate and Ladybug must not know each other"

Are there any other "dark elements" that you are adding to this AU, other than Hawkmoth being a Murderer? (On that note, I feel Gabriel being Hawkmoth might be a red herring, since we never saw Hawkmoth)

Is Marinette going to have a "different core friend group"? Since she is more reclused in this AU (as seeing a brutal dead body would do to a kid) I assume she will be part of the class, but never be as proactive or "hyped" as she was in canon, like a mix of Julleka and Kagami personalities, with a pinch of Marinette on it.

I wonder if Bunnyx will make an appearance due to this timeline being "so deviated"?

Also, I can't wait to see what makes Marinette choose Plagg instead of Tikki as her Miraculous

first of all thank you so much for reading and for all the questions I love love love it <3

Master Fus death happens the summer (really only a few weeks) before freshman year! But Im having fbau!Marinette be 14 when she becomes guardian, so she turns 15 during the school year (befana) (same goes for Adrien, only he turns 15 in bubbler before Mari). Either way, she’s still a brand new teenager and she definitely definitely struggles having seen the murder scene, and just not having the support of Master Fu.

Marinette does not know Adrien is the ladybug holder! I don’t want to give much away, but the main idea is Marinette has someone else in mind and Tikki decides takes matters into her own hands. Since Beetle wasn’t the chosen holder by Feline, she takes some anger and her own guilt from disappointing Tikki out on him before coming to terms with him as a partner, and eventually getting close with him

Not entirely decided, but probably! More mental health/illness stuff cause what’s an AU without a little trauma, probably a bit more violent akumas/mature themes but just gotta wait and see

She has mostly the same friends, but she is much more recluse! She tries to stay out of class drama so bye bye being class president, and now she has bigger problems than high school bullies so she doesn’t stand up for herself as much against chloe/lila (but alya has no problem doing so for her), and she shies away from group events/having people over. This is a big reason why Adrien really wants to befriend her and help her open up :)

I don’t currently have any plans for Bunnix to show up since Luka uses the rabbit miraculous in this au, but it would be a fun cameo!! I’ll definitely think about it + I love Alix so i’m sure i’ll find a place to have her pop in. For now let’s say she leaves the brunt of the work to Tempore Lapin

A lot of different factors go into Marinette picking the black cat rather than the ladybug, but i’d say the biggest one is probably the difference between Tikkis support and Plaggs support! Tikki tries to remain optimistic a lot, looking at the positives and trying to comfort her holder when they’re not okay. Plagg aims more for a coping with humor technique, but can pull it together when really necessary. His support is based much more around wanting what’s best for Marinette, even if that puts him and the other kwamis in peril (not having a guardian/holders). He values her honesty and genuine struggles with caring for the miraculous while Tikki aims to reassure that Adrien he has what it takes and can do it! [TLDR: Tikki says “You can do this! I believe in you! You’re a hero!” Plagg says “I’m here for you! This is your decision! It’s not all on your shoulders!”]

Thank you for the ask, it’s greatly appreciated <3 Feel free to send more!

[lara-prism-light]

Redesign of Adrien and Chat Noir for the deed, Miraculous Heroes.

I changed Adrian's outfit because it was, honestly, generic. He now follows a more formal style that fits both his father's personality and his career as a model. If you look closely, the collar of the jacket has the symbol of an "A", being the brand of the clothing line Agreste.

This Adrian is more reserved and quiet at the beginning of the rewrite, he didn't know how to interact with other teenagers his age, much less how to act like one. His style would change throughout the story with the positive influence of his friends, encouraging him to choose his own style. As much as he hates being a model, he loves his father too much to ask him to stop, and he also always has an interest in free styles and different from his father's.

He is never the one who chooses what he wears, always being just Gabriel or Natalie, Chloe and Felix are the only people his age he spends time with, and for that, he prefers to keep to himself, not knowing how to act since Chloe acts as if she were superior and Felix is ​​too closed to interact with other people.

He would not be able to attend the first day of school, but he would be present during the first appearance of an akumatized who he would try to help some people close to him, disobeying Natalie's orders and attracting the interest of Plagg who would immediately spot him and choose him as his holder.

As Chat Noir, I gave him a hood with cat ears, long, full sleeves, a vest with a green line and two holes in the sides, and a long belt that serves as a tail. Underneath the vest is a dark green skintight outfit with green triangles on the shoulders and green flourishing claw marks on the corner of the waist. His baggy pants go down to his cat paw-shaped boots (which contain green lines) the pants contain a similar division as the sleeves that go from black to dark green with details of green rays.

Chat Noir still has cataclysm, but he also has night vision, great hearing, agility, balance, and an ability called seven lives. Nine lives is one of his weaknesses, he cannot be seriously injured, that's because, even if the heroes receive a certain amount of resistance when they transform, they can still feel the pain of battles and even hurt themselves. And, while Ladybug has a lucky effect, Chat Noir has an unlucky effect, that is to say that he has much more chance of getting hurt or getting something wrong.

And Isis includes him being easily injured during battles. Therefore, the nine lives serves as a way to give him resistance, and just as Ladybug can give some of her luck to others, she can give some of her extra lives to others as well. And no, he doesn't die if he runs out of nine lives, he just becomes unconscious and he destransforms.

So that would be his version of the countdown for him to untransform (all heroes would have after a long time using their powers). He still has his staff, and the baton would serve as a communicator and shapeshifter like in canon, but he uses the staff to perform various tricks with it during battles.

Another thing I forgot to mention, the bells on his wrists are retractable, he can pull the bells off and throw them at enemies like smoke bomb grenades, but the bells are not destroyed, The smoke comes out of the little bell holes and it's kind of black smoke, it's more used as a form of distraction.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this redesign of Adrian and Chat Noir! Next one I'm between Gabriel and Alya, maybe I'll take a poll.

Description: I receive this image Smile.jpg from Japan in message in my email and i'm now curse in fear of these pack of pooches. I need to rid of the curse by throwing the hot potatos in my audiences like a idiot by spread the word. I first ignore it for 3 days but now the picture has mutate and deform, depicting a much more disturbing and demonic form of Smile Dogs. Breed featured: Shiba inu (main front), Akita inu (Both Japanese and American), Kai ken, Shikoku inu, Hokkaido inu, Kishu inu, Ryukyu inu and Kawami inu.

Journal: The halloween art i had to delay due to technical difficulty and busy. Finally i have finished it.

What the inspiration? Isle of dogs is biggest inspiration that is based off. (Bit of spoiler alert) The room is in laboratory facility and the position of dogs is inspired from film's poster with a boy in bottom middle with multiple dogs surrounding. The art-style is manga influence of isle of dogs. Why Nihon ken indigenous breed family instead of any husky dog breeds? I just want to make Japanese version of Nihon ken with isle of dog based off. I came of the idea to diversified smile dog into different breeds version but the first one is Japanese Nihon kens. Why translation? Isle of dog does the translation text as well so it was brought in this art.
