Most of my drawings will have hints of my own headcannons but I don't remember most so I'll list whichever I do, Ex. this one I know I included MDC Fashion Designer Mari, her hair also looks like their in buns but I just wanted her pigtails poofy, if you like the buns though they can also be that. Honestly don't have much for this one but her hair is black just has a blue tint, I guess. Yeah, she's just a normal civilian and your everyday ladybug. p(^^)q

Notes:

I made this design first just because I didn't like the Multi-Mouse costume so it inspired my other MLB sketches. The buns on her head and the puffed-up sleeves are supposed to be like mouse ears and her weapon is the tail jump rope in cannon but it disconnects into two whips. Her hair is a black/grey color here with no blue, and her eyes are just black and white but the iris' are heart-shaped purely because I thought it would be cute. I liked the idea of her costumes being more styled to her mother's culture than the skin-tight onesies they have. I feel the Multi-Mouse episode was really underrated and I just loved how op she was wearing All of the Miraculous at once.

Notes:

Listen LadyBug is such a basic name for her and she's blessed by Tikki, plus Lady Luck just sounds better to me ok? I know she looks like a knight or something but, again, I hate those skin-tight suits. Her hair is fully blue here and put in a bun which you can see in the sketches, her hair clip/tie also has these antenna-like things that stick up which I thought were clever/cute. You can see in the first sketch how the wings work, I mean I just wanted her to have ladybug wings honestly. She can fly in them though, they aren't just decoration or anything. Her eyes are lighter blue than in the civilian sketch as I wanted to show that the magic of the Miraculous was stronger in protecting The Chosens identity by changing specifics of Chosen rather than just, 'Magic', like in the show.

Notes:

I really like Lady-Noir's eyes here, they're like Chat Blanks glowing blue. She's a kitty with claws and I just really liked this design. I made her really sharp, and I think she'd be more independent and sassy as Lady-Noir. She has a lot of spikes on her and her ears would be more realistic to work shaped like this. I find it funny that I vision her to be the tallest yet she's the only one I zoomed out with when drawing so I could make her boots, making it look like she's supposed to be the smallest.

Mouse Of a Time

There will be very little G/T in this chapter, but next chapter I promise there will be. This is an AU were Sander Sides are Animal Shifters. Got the idea from anonymous asks from @delimeful page. Warning I did change Patton into a dog and Roman into the cat instead of the other way around. I just though it fit a bit better. Roman can turn into a grey and white cat, Patton into a Golden Retriever, and Logan can change into a White Cockatoo. The Light Sides think Dark sides just can’t shape shift. In reality Virgil can transform too. Just into a tiny/ defenseless mouse. Any of those animal his fellow sides can turn into can harm him in anyway…and doesn’t help not all Light sides are that friendly with a Dark side hanging around. All Virgil can do for now is hope Thomas does not tell his fellow sides his secret, none of them catch him, and stay hidden. In human form he can talk to any of them. He’s actually pretty close to Patton and getting there with the other two, but once he sees the animals his mouse instincts come into play and he gets anxious. 

What’s His Problem?

First Chapter. Just an introduction to Virgil

Encounter With the Only Human

Second Chapter! This is a chapter about how Thomas found out about Virgil’ s transformations. So far he is the only person that knows he can transform like the others. All this time Thomas has been a great Creator and friend by keeping Virgil’s secret. He wants Virgil to talk about it, but he stresses how much he doesn’t want the others to find out. Not yet.

Understanding Along with Secrets

Third Chapter! Thomas and Virgil talk about the events that transpired. Virgil practices to control his shifting powers. He also stumbles into a place that was a bit too tempting for him leading to some more mischeif and another secret.

Cat at Movie Night

 Fourth Chapter! Virgil explores Roman’s room as a tiny instead of a mouse. This does lead to some feelings that were not suppose to come out. When this is all over at least everything calms down with a Movie Night! Well we thought they would calm down. 

Interactions Between all of the Sides

This chapter is more about the interactions and relationships between the sides. Explaining how all of them feel about each other. I know kind of boring, but it is needed to understand what is going through Virgil’s head. I promise Virgil being a mouse is in here, but not till ¾ths in. 

Dog’s Best Friend

Dog!Patton and Mouse!Virgil have an interaction. That’s all I can say about this chapter. I mean Logan is doing typical Logan actions and looking too far into things he’s not supposed to. Please let me know how I did with this chapter. It took a lot longer than planned because writing an interaction between animals is a lot harder than I thought, especially since we only hear the thoughts of Virgil. Please be brutally honest. It helps me better as a writer. I promise to add more angst and inside thoughts of the characters in the next interaction since that is what a few of you requested for the interactions. 

The Talk

Thomas and Virgil talk about his options but face it. There is only one option and Virgil hates it. 

Heart or Logic

Virgil and Logan finally talk. The moment we have been waitng for. This is probably the most anxious and tiring moment he has had in a long time. Even worse then talking to Thomas.

Monsters Don't Need Hearts

Hi guys! So I've been wanting to do a Loki x Reader fanfic for a while and I finally started one! If you guys don't like it there wont be another chapter!

Loki has just taken over Midgard and is contemplating killing the avengers whom he defeated. His jealousy of you and thor's relationship has sparked a compulsive desire to make you his.

Will he succeed?

~Please Enjoy!

The sky is red with blood...was it always like this?

They were supposed to protect us...

Yet they were on their knees at his mercy...powerless

The sky above a mute gray, foreshadowing the impending doom which was to come.

The world could only watch in horror as the Avengers...our so called protectors...saviors sat on their knees, no more a worm to a hawk...

Loki was that Hawk.

The Avengers were the Worms

The worms who stood in the way of his grandeur of world domination.

The worms who were the sole cause for his imprisonment...his reason for such a deep feeling of hate and agony.

And now he wanted nothing more than to crush the worms beneath him.

Buildings which once stood tall and proud as monuments in downtown New York nothing more than rubble.

The walls are falling...crumbling

I stood only a few feet from the God of Mischief himself, tucked away behind a brick wall littered with gang signs, and posters which looked to be decades old. Their edges frail and torn while they also slowly rotted away from years of rain and wind.

My irregular breathing was being muffled by incoherent grunts and murmurs of jiberish coming from a large group of alien beings, though I feared my heartbeat would give me away. It pounded furiously against my rib cage so hard it hurt.

Sweat beaded down my pulsating skull as I gritted my teeth to keep silent.

The Chitari kneeled behind him, as though in a way proclaiming him to already be their king. Their new found ruler and leader. It was no surprise that the God of Lies and Mischief was able to convince them to his side. His silver tongue being what has gotten him so far.

Though I asked myself what did the Chitari have to do?

What did they have to sacrifice for his...childish dream?

For his...ego?

Iron man sat on the far right, his latest suit having been torn to nearly nothing. Black widow sat to his left, her lower lip  busted open and also paired with body wounds that if not taken care of soon would take her life long before Loki would.

Hulk had been subdued to Banner who the Chitari had no problem knocking unconscious.

Hawkeye, The Captain, and...Thor..

Your Thor...

Never before had you seen him, or any of the avengers so broken and defeated...

Those bright blue eyes as clear as the sky on a mid summer day which always bursted with ambition and pride were now dull...and showed only defeat and sorrow...

What was he doing?

Get up!

Fight!

His lush beach blonde hair matted to his bruised face with blood and dirt mixed into the strands.

There's so much blood...

Close your eyes...I'll fix it...

It seemed like only yesterday that the all mighty God of thunder had kindly asked you to lunch and from there it began to bloom into something more.

Something that, unknown to you and him made his brother beyond jealous.

Loki lusted for anything that Thor touched or claimed to be his own, to spite him.

To in a way prove that he deserved the throne that the all father in his eyes had so foolishly given to the brute.

I'm not strong enough..

I'll be strong for you...

"You mortals put so much of your faith in these so called Avengers only to see them fall. When they are gone where will you put your faith?! Tell me where?! Where will you go now with no one to save you?!"

The God of Mischeif and fire yelled, arms outstretched to the sky in triumph.

His voice dripping and oozing with pride and triumph. Its richness sending shivers down my spine.

To spread this horror...this execution to the world, so they could watch as the last of their beloved heroes fall Loki mustered up some of his Asgardian magic to broadcast it to every TV, computer, and radio throughout the world.

Children sobbed and gripped onto their parents who shielded their innocent eyes from what was inevitably going to take place as they themselves were forced to watch.

Citizens only a few feet away were forced to take part and witness it as well, if not they were killed by the aliens which Loki had mustered together.

Foot soldiers patrolled the streets and gigantic alien worms patrolled the skies, taking down any U.S aircraft which tried to do any damage.

It wasn't just NYC...it was the entire world...

Loki was finally getting what he craved so passionately...Kingship.

To rule over Midgard and have the humans he hates to much his slaves.

"N-No...Please...Tony...S-Steve...T-Thor get up...fight..."

My voice was dry...and hoarse, threatening to crack at any second. The words struggling to come out.

What was I to do?

I had no powers, no special abilities.

I was only a mortal...one mortal girl.

My legs refused to work let alone move. Fear gripped every part of my body as I cowered in fear for my life.

Even if I were to try and do something...anything I was vastly out numbered.

Loki stood proud, his growing blue scepter in hand. Those cold...bright blue eyes oozing with hate and pride. A small ray of light from a nearby flickering busted street lamp reflected off the very tip of his crown. A gold helmet which adorned 2 large curved antlers, the sides cupping his sculpted pale face.

Who was he going to kill first?

That was my only thought...

Don't let them see you bleed, promise me

Don't let them see that they get to you

The God of Mishief's voice was so smooth...despite his murderous intent...almost like a siren it could lure dozens of helpless victims to their demise...his words like knives and never truthful

"Tell me brother," back and forth he paced while like a lion stalking its prey he pondered who to slaughter first, "Where is all your power now? With Asgard and the all father gone what will you do? Hela destroyed that hammer of yours. So your powerless...just as I was for all those years while you took the limelight! Never once did you stand by my side as children! You kept my true heritage from me just as Odin did. When I discovered it so did the rest of Asgard. They despised me, loathed and hated me and you stood idle and did nothing. But...no matter. You'll be joining the allfather soon enough."

"Loki don't do this..."

Rodgers pleaded with a voice so weak no one would even assume it to be the Captain. His suit which once so proudly bore the red, white and blue torn  and burnt on the arms and legs.

"Silence. You were never given permission to speak."

Loki's tone harsh and abrupt.

The God wanted nothing more than for his brother to suffer...starting by taking what he cherishes the most...you.

Proudly Loki roughly took Thor's chin and forced him to look into his cold blue eyes.

"She is here...(Y/N) thinks she is safe brother but she is far from it...I will make her come out...like the little mouse that she is and then I will make her mine. No matter how long it takes...I'm a patient man and I always get what I want.."

His words a promise which he intended on keeping.

Thor's once dull eyes were immediately lit with a sudden fire and fierceness as he struggled against the magical chains which bound him and stripped him of his Godhood.

"If you go down this road brother I swear to you it will end in failure. If you lay a finger on (Y/N)'s head you will suffer."

Unknown to me I hadn't heard of Loki's so called 'promise' and was naive to this being a ruse to get me out if hiding.

He spat.

Loki only chuckled in response.

My eyes widened when I heard his threat.

'What are you doing?!'

I said to myself.

My body wouldn't move...why can't I move!! Loki had a look of amusement.

"Oh do not be so distraught brother! I will make sure (Y/N) is well tended to!"

He was going to make the first blow...the first of many heroes to die would be...your beloved... or so you thought.

A dagger formed in the raven haired monsters right hand and began plummeting for the odinsons chest.

I'll die for you

Don't let them see you cry

Promise?

I promise.

"NO THOR!!!"

I cried out, using every ounce of my strength to force my legs to move.  I threw myself over him, my arms wrapping themselves around his thick neck and my (E/C) eyes closed in anticipation for the final blow but...it never came..

But instead, in its place... laughter.

"Hello kitten. I have been waiting for you."

Run away and never look back, promise?

I promise

~once again this is my first fanfic so please don't be too harsh! If you guys enjoy it I'll make another chapter! <3

Understanding Along With Secrets/ Mouse Of a Time

Thomas and Virgil talk about the events that transpired. Virgil practices to control his shifting powers. He also stumbles into a place that was a bit too tempting for him leading to some more mischeif and another secret.

I am open to Prompts and questions for or about the Sides in this story. Please I encourage you to share my post. Gets the story out there.

Master post: Click Here There are two other Chapters! 

Warning: Moments of anxiety, fear, self doubt, falling from a heigh distance.

Thomas and Virgil sat in the hallway together for the longest time, at least they thought so. Neither of them spoke or moved from that spot for what felt like an eternity. In reality it was only about ten minutes. Virgil remained on Thomas’ s shoulder for half of that time, just trying to process the whole scene that just played out between them. Thomas did all he could to make sure he wasn’t staring at his friend while he processed the whole situation. He looked at his hands, he looked up at the ceiling trying to count the lines from cracks or just missed plater. He even started to plan out his next video, until he was brought out of his thoughts by Virgil moving his head from his shoulder. He waited patiently for anything to come from Virgil. A sigh. Anger. Even rambling would have been better than this awkward silence. After looking down at the ground for a time, Thomas decided enough was enough. Virgil had to talk.

“ Sooo you can transform too?” Thomas wanted to hit himself in the head because of the stupid yet obvious question that just emanated from his lips. “ Your and animal too?” how dumb could he be, but it seemed to do the trick. “ In all honesty it only started recently. At the beginning I was human, like the...others. Then one day it just happened.”

Thomas remained sitting down on the ground, but looked over to the dark ego beside him. “ What were you doing?”

“ Well, I was frustrated after talking to Deceit.”

“ Yeah that will do it...but you never answered my question.”

Virgil looked over in confusion, trying to think back to Thomas finding him in his animal form.

“ I asked you why you didn’t tell us.”

In all honesty, he didn’t want to seem stupid in front of his creator. He knew deep down that Thomas would never look down on him, but there was always that fear in the back of his mind. He could only think of replying with a few select and simple words. “ I’m not ready.”

Thomas stood up, using his legs mostly, and the wall to stabilize his body. Once his feet were firmly on the ground he looked behind him, extending a hand. Virgil has always felt the most accepted by Thomas, ( Close behind is Patton), but at this moment all he could do was smile. Thomas found out the one secret he didn’t want anyone to find out because of fear and anxiety ( Big surprise), and when he gave an answer such as “ I’m not ready.” Thomas was still accepting. Thomas understood better than anyone that fear can prevent the obvious and cloud judgment, so he was not going to make it worse by pressuring. He was literally offering a hand to help Virgil along his path and not judge. Virgil grabbed Thomas’ s hand and felt his body being pulled up from his sitting position off the ground. “ Well, if you're not ready, you're not ready. Just no more secrets from me. Alright?”

Virgil looked intently into Thomas’s face to see if there was any ill intent or Deception. But there was none. He genuinely and honestly just wanted to help Virgil out. “ Alright.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The days that followed this event were...complicated...well, more messy, then complicated.

Virgil decided after this day he would have to make sure he was not put in this situation ever again. This was easier, but only in some aspects. Unlike Thomas, the other sides could call upon each other, but they were not forced to appear. For example, if Patton called upon Virgil, Virgil would hear the call in his head as if being played by echo, but it was his choice if he showed up. The problem was, to the other light sides, if you ignored a summon something was either wrong or you were being rude, and in Virgil’s situation it usually meant he was being rude. Then there was the fact of if Thomas called upon him again. He could never ignore Thomas, even if he was an animal.

Thomas promised to lay off on summoning him, but he couldn’t ignore is Anxiety, even if he wanted to. So there was only one solution. He had to work on his transformations.

Virgil brought the problem to Thomas hoping he could help out...to a point. Thomas expressed he hated lying to the other sides just to help Virgil, it made him feel too much like Deceit. Then there was the fact that if Thomas was too uncomfortable, Patton would be able to sense his uncomfortableness and lies. “ No. no. no.” Virgil explained very quickly. “ I don’t want you to lie. I would never want to put you through that. I can sense from here how uncomfortable you are with that. The only thing I want you to do is, if it comes down to it, distract the light sides. While I am practicing my shifting from animal to human you just point them to another direction.” He sighed because he could still sense the uneasiness emanating from Thomas. “ Look, if you have to tell them then go ahead, just give me time. Please.” As soon as he expressed his concern with Thomas and the fact he could pull the plug at any time if it came down to lying to keep his secret, Virgil just felt the anxiety wash over Thomas. The burden was lessened immediately. It was like a spirit exited Thomas and went to Virgil's body.

Thomas looked over at his personal dark side. “ I'll try to help you out as much as I can. Like you I can just feel how stressed and scared you are of telling the others. I don’t want you to have a panic attack just because your scared if I will tell your secret.”

Virgil jumped at Thomas suddenly, giving his body a hug of pure appreciation. Thomas stumbled back from the gesture but embraced his anxious side in a comforting way.

There must have been so much going on because Patton suddenly appeared in the room witnessing the interaction between Virgil and Thomas. His face lit up from seeing such a random interaction, especially since he had no idea why these two were ok with each other now. “ Oh my God. I knew you were able to do this Anxiety!” Patton jumped in on the attention, trying to join in on the heart being shared in the room.

As soon as Patton made contact with Virgil, he released Thomas and proceeded to fix his messed up purple hair. “ Patton. It’s Virgil. I have explained this to you before.”

“ I’m sorry. It’s just this is the first time I have seen you like this Virgil. You usually avoid us and sit alone kiddo.” Patton released Thomas and looked towards Virgil with a smile plastered on his face.

This was the first time he had a good look at Patton. He had that stupid looking cat hoody up, so he had cat ears on his head ( Ironic) and his eyes were gleaming like an Anime character. He was hopping up and down like a child. The emotions between Virgil and Thomas must have spiked Patton’s behavior to act more childish. “ Wait...Did you just call me Kiddo?” Virgil looked at him confused. “ Yah!... Is there a problem with that?” He tilted his head to the side like a dog would do. There it was. The animal attributes were starting to show through. “ No Patton. I’m fine with it.” Virgil knew by the way he was acting he was about to turn into his dog form. He figured if he just plasters a smile on his face and acts kind he would disappear to his mindscape room without problems. Well too late. Right there and then, Patton transformed into a Golden Retriever right in front of Virgil. His instincts kicked in to double time. All he could do was stare at the dog used to be Patton with fear.

Thomas could feel everything. The fear, anxiety, everything. He placed a hand on Virgil’s shoulder trying to get his attention. Virgil looked over at his Creator with confusion but looked down at Patton once more. “ It’s still Patton. It’s still Patton. Plus I am a human. Everything is fine.” He carefully and gently placed a hand on the dog’s awaiting head and pat it. Patton stuck his tongue out and was just as surprised by Virgil’s actions. He has never seen Virgil touch any of them. Virgil couldn’t take anymore. He disappeared into his mindscape room for privacy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Virgil from that day on, when Thomas was busy making videos unless he was needed, would work on his shifting. He figured out a long time ago, the light sides were most occupied when Thomas had a performance coming up or he was creating a video to post to YouTube. During those times Virgil would transform at will to his mouse self and wander around the mindscape and in Thomas’s house. To Virgil, if he got used to his animal form then maybe he could control it better.

The first few times Virgil stuck to wandering around his room. He wanted to make sure he was used to the bodies movements at first. He would practice by climbing up onto his desk then venturing further and further out. He would get from his desk, jump to his bed, then start by practicing his balance on his curtain rods and door frames. If he had to admit, this was an experience he was not used to. The first day he tried jumping from his desk to the bed, the simplest distance, he couldn’ t make his body jump far enough. He would tumble right off the edge. Virgil would back his body up, look around like something was in the room with him, then run. Well more like scurry, right off the edge. He would make a personal joke saying he felt like an airplane. A crashing airplane. The first time he plummeted he was scared to death. He backed his body up a few feet, then ran as fast as he could. Virgil could feel his little feet leave the hard surface and feel only air. He would close his eyes, since he was not prepared to see his own death, but opened them up at the wrong time. Poor Virgil felt his body abruptly stop soaring through the air and turn into a plummet. He had to open his eyes just to make sure he wasn’t tricking himself. He looked down, yelling in his head. If he could, he would cover his face with his hands, but of course you couldn’t really do that with paws while falling through the air. Virgil said a little prayer to himself just waiting for his death. This was it. His first time experimenting and because he was too ignorant to have someone watch him he was going to die. At least Thomas would no longer have anxiety in his life.

Virgil opened his eyes and realized his body collided with the ground...but he was ok. He found out later that day that Mice can fall up to twelve feet, sometimes twenty, and still be unscathed. Thank God for the resilience of mice. From that day on Virgil practiced, but made sure he had some type of surface under his body when he fell from high places.

For weeks Virgil practiced in his room. If one of the light sides started to ask questions, Thomas was nice enough to distract the others with his problems or their animal instincts. He decided while the four were working on the Video for the month he would wander around the Mindscape.

This was a big step for our little mouse. In his room he was safe. All sides knew to never just walk into his room without permission. Out there he could run into any of the other sides, but they were all occupied. Why would it matter? Virgil the mouse approached his door. Since he was still in the mindscape he could easily teleport if needed, and he needed it.

He landed in a hallway that looked exactly like the hallway Thomas found him in, except for one thing. There were four doors present. Each door led to a different Side’s room in the Mindscape. A person could tell who’s room it was by the decoration that was on the outside.

Virgil’s door was pitch dark purple, just like his sweatshirt and hair. All over the door were lightning bolts or storm clouds with lightning. Patton’s door was light blue, but he had hints of bright yellow emanating from the inside one could see through the cracks. There was a cat face drawn on the doorknob. Logan’s was a dark blue. He had a few papers that looked like they were stapled to the wood. If one looked closer the pages had formulas for science and math. Some pages were so full, that the equation had to leave the paper and be written on the door in black marker. Lastly, Roman had a door right beside Logan’s. It was bright red like it was just painted today. On the door was an elaborate painting. It was honestly a bigger version, that took up the whole door, of the patch on Roman’s arm. The outline was in Gold and the picture was of a castle on the water with a banner hanging over it all with the sun gleaming in the middle being the brightest yellow of all the yellow on the picture, and the biggest object on the door. Virgil rolled his eyes the best he could but was still curious. He had honestly never been in Roman’s room. He hasn't been in Logan’s either but figured it might be a typical lab looking bedroom. He was super curious about the Creative side. He was one he never really got close to. He was just too curious and this was a perfect opportunity. Virgil teleported himself into the Creative sides room. Inside honestly looked like a room made to imitate royalty at a hotel. Everything wasn’t exactly right, but the feeling was there.

There were pamphlets that were hanging up from Thomas’s previous performances since he was a kid. There were posters everywhere, basically announcing to the world Roman’s and Thomas’s favorite musicals and Disney movies. Surprisingly, there was a Nightmare Before Christmas blanket hanging up on the wall. “ Great taste.” Virgil thought.

Virgil scurried across the floor to the humongous bed that would contain one human. Virgil grabbed onto the bedsheet the best he could, (Paws) and scurried up to get a better view of his surroundings. There had to be more.

This took him some time since the bed was all tucked in and organized like a military personnel came in and straightened the room. Virgil kicked his back paws to adjust his body up onto the bed. In reality he was out of breath, but all that came out was a few squicks of innocence. The mouse laid his body down on the mattress, curling his tail in on his body and tried to look around, but froze. Behind him he could hear the soft snores of something bigger. A lot bigger than him. He turned his head to only have a cat’s body take up his field of vision. A grey and white cat to bed exact.

“ What is he doing here!? Isn’t he suppose to be helping Thomas?! He’s creativity for crying out loud!” Virgil could only slowly back up to get some distance between himself and the beast that was no longer viewed as his friend. In its sleep the cat stretched it’s legs out and opened it’s mouth to reveal the sharp canine’s present to the world. The last thing Virgil would see if he woke up. The tail was already swishing back and forth alarming the mouse. Virgil stumbled a bit and tried to run, but couldn't take his eyes off the predator. This was it. All this work for nothing.

From all this excitement and emotions running through his mind he didn’t realize one little difference with his body.

The mouse looked down trying to force his feet to move and get running. Wait. Feet. Why were there feet?

Virgil covered his body with his newfound hands. He could feel a head, legs, arms, and no tail.

“ Well this is new.”
