#ML Shanghai special

[justanotherpersonsuniverse]

HELLO ALL. BEHOLD. REDESIGNED FEI.

I had a lot of fun redesigning her. Fei is by far one of my favorite ML characters, unironically. I like the lil lady that wants to murder what can I say. I wanted to give a bit more of a sickly unwell vibe going on with her civilian form considering she lives off of stealing and street conning presumably.

As for RenRen, I just, I just really, didn't wanna use, the red- yellow- and black colors man I'm sorry just, I, said no. So Instead I took inspiration from Glamrock Fre-I mean- Mei Shi. Yah.

Hope you like! This is the design I'll also be using for my PN au.

Why is the Prodigious canonically more powerful than the Miraculouses? Like Nooroo full on says: "It is for good reason that the Prodigious was abandoned in favor of the Miraculous! It was secured in that cave because it is too powerful, too dangerous!" and I just... don't see it?

Like don't get me wrong, being able to transform into animals is an awesome power, but how is it more powerful and more dangerous than the Miraculouses? The Peacock alone can create animals to fight and many other beings, we've seen the Butterfly give the power of shapeshifting to one not even using a Miraculous, and the elemental powers one gets in dragon form is the same as the Dragon Miraculous. And all of this is not considering the many other powers the canon Miraculouses can do, and who knows what the other Miraculouses not seen in the show can do as well!

Then to actually use the Prodigious you have to possess the value each Renling has to even transform! With the Miraculouses anyone with any intent or any values can transform and use the powers by just knowing the right words, words they can order the kwami to tell them with no resistance! Kwamis are forced to the whims of their holders with just a few words, while the Prodigious gets a whole powerful guardian to protect it and deem who is worthy to wield it? Why don't the Miraculouses get that level of protection?

Then finally with the Miraculouses we have the Wish with Tikki and Plagg's Miraculouses. You're telling me the ability to completely destroy the universe and recreate it at one's own whims is less powerful than shapeshifting? That the shapeshifting powers are the ones that needed to be sealed away in the cave but literal universe-ending powers didn't?

So I calculated the exact screen time for all the love square ships in the Shanghai special...

Back again! With the Shanghai Special! If you haven't seen my previous post, the link to that is here. For the uninitiated, here are...

Some Ground Rules

Both characters of the ship must be present in the scene for it to count as love square screen time.

At least one of the characters need to be reacting to the presence of the other or doing something with them.

If one of the characters believe that they are talking with the alter ego of the other character it will be counted as screen time for that particular ship

In case of group interactions involving the two characters, it will only be counted if the two characters are specifically interacting with the other or if special focus is given to them.

Screen Time Distribution

For a 56-minute-long special, there was surprisingly very little love square screen time, Adrienette not even getting an entire minute. Maricat and Ladrien are totally absent which is unsurprising and Ladynoir has the most screen time as usual, 73.1 % of the total screen time and Adrienette having 26.9% of the screen time.

In terms of how it affected the overall screen time, it isn't much with Adrienette increasing 0.1% and Ladrien decreasing 0.1%.

Conclusion

This was a very short post, since it was just one special but next one is going to much longer since its season 3. Feel free to leave any observations you made from these pie charts that I may have missed. See you next time!

Wang: Can you pass me the cooking wine.

Fei: kicks the bottle into the air, then kicks it in his direction, the bottle smashes against the wall next to Wang’s face

Wang: why.

Very random but if it weren't for some of the huge fuck ups of the writing room not understanding how teenage girls work Marinette could've been a serious contender for greatest magical girl protag

Marinette is lost after getting mysteriously thieved of all of her belongings when she meets a friend! Or is she... a Foe? ----

Hi! Sorry for the somewhat delay! I'm back and I'm rearing up to go with another chapter here of Panthera! I hope you enjoyed! Fei is a lot of fun to write after all. Though, I'm sorry if this chapter is a lot shorter than you anticipated.

This chapter was originally going to be much bigger! But I decided to split it in half for time and pacing. So next chapter will be the end of Fei's arc that I hope you found enjoyment in. I'll probably do one more chapter taking place in Shanghai after that, a sorta, shenanigan one, and then we'll get back to your regularly scheduled Paris program lol.

Once again I hope you enjoyed! Make sure to drink water!

I know some think it can be but I do actually find it interesting.

Aeon Hill aka Uncanny Valley, as a thunderbird holder from Native Miraculous Box.

Her power would be give will to the inanimated objects.

The Chinese Prodigious and Zealous

The Chinese Prodigious is an ancient medallion hidden away in Shanghai, China. Hosted within it are eight renlings embodying different human values, allowing those that posses them to transform into their respective animals.

Guarding this Prodigious is a kaire named Mei Shi, who is tied to a magical yellow orb called a Zealous. Mei Shi will test those seeking the Prodigious, and grant those they choose the title of Renren. Renrens are given both the Prodigious and the Zealous, and are free to use the magic within.

When lacking a chosen Mei Shi will merge with his Zealous, allowing him to switch between two forms, both based on a lion. His companion form is a small kwami-like being who can easily hide and observe the world unseen. Their champion form is more humanoid, being that of a giant metallic statue built to fight.

marinette resting her hand on adrien's chair is weirdly one of the cutest things i have ever seen for no reason.

The one thing I don't like about the Shanghai Special is that it's the ONLY one without an iconic Adrino moment. Like, I know that it shouldn't be my top priority or whatever but. The New York special had the Bus Scene. The Paris Special had the Pool Scene. Like WHERE WAS THE ADRINO GUYS. At least have Adrien MENTION NINO :(
