Marcel Nino Pajot L'Importun 2012

[nerds-yearbook]

Barbarella premiered on October 10, 1968. The erotic space fantasy was based on an Italian comic strip (fumetti) character created by Jean-Claude Forest. Jane Fonda played the title character and her co-star, John Philip Law, also played another Italian comic inspired character in Danger: Diabolik. The film was directed by Fonda's husband at the time Roger Vadim. ("Barbarella", Movie Event)

Not the most groundbreaking fun fact, but moscones (sing. moscón) are big and noisy bugs that are found a lot on the countryside and chase people around the woods, annoying people are called that from time to time

Certain in-story surname is a very lame pun

The LuckyBug Miracle Team Sucks - TWEOS AU Analysis

(4 individuals who don't work for their miraculous, and 1 person that does)

Just to start off, yes, I am analyzing my own work. Nobody really has the same depth of information on this other than me, after all. I want to get more into these sorts of things, because I like to organize my thinking behind the choices I make in this fic, and maybe even draw people into my work as well!

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Viperius - CARA.PACE - Renared - Chat Noir

These are the five main holders of the LuckyBug Team before CN quits at the start of TWEOS. We're going to be talking about why most of them suck at their job (but mostly why Lucky chose terrible miraculouses for her peers), starting from worst to best synergy.

Viperius - Snake of Intuition

The ideal holder of the Snake Miraculous is someone who is level-headed, wise, and capable.

Luka Marcel Couffaine is the exact opposite of all of these things.

In TWEOS, Luka Couffaine is as far removed from empathy as humanly possible, making him a terrible superhero in general, much less one with a power as important as interrupting the flow of time. Luka never goes out of his way to explore his abilities, rarely involves himself in battle unless forced to, and put more thought into giving his superhero form a sexy haircut than into being a good teammate. He is explicitly only a superhero for the money it brings in even though he is already the son of a world-famous rockstar. Luka is not intuitive or wise, he is shallow and self-serving.

More Suitable Miraculous: None of them. Maybe the Mouse so he can multiply and go fuck himself.

CARA.PACE - Turtle of Protection

The ideal holder of the Turtle Miraculous is someone who is stable, sacrificial, and steadfast.

Nicolas Ibrahim Lahiffe, unfortunately, falls short of the mark.

While not as outwardly shitty as Luka, Nino also lacks the right qualities in an effective superhero. Nino is the type of person who, as Quinton Reviews once perfectly put it, "would rather be chill than be right". Nino is laid-back and likes to show off with his Miraculous, enjoying how cool it makes him look while still helping out at the end of the day. ...But he's not exactly protective. If anyone even stood up to Lucky being physically abusive, it should've been him. But Nino does not protect the weak, because he is the kind of person to stand on the sidelines. Nino is not a source of stability, he's too much of a laid-back (and often cowardly) jokester to protect anyone.

More Suitable Miraculous: Monkey, Pig.

Renared - Fox of Illusion

The ideal holder of the Fox Miraculous is someone who is cunning, sly, and witty.

Aaliyah Thérèse Césaire is trying so hard to make it work, but is underserved by what she's been given.

If anyone in the team has the braincells, it's Alya. Alya can draft up plans with her Holo-Illusions like second nature, strategize on the fly, and takes to her ability to make diagrams out of thin air like a fish to water. ...But that's not what the Illusions are for, is it? As natural for her determined nature, she strives to bend her miraculous to her will anyways, rarely ever using her Illusions to actually distract and more to help her with her thankless job of the actual team leader. It makes sense that she would function this way, though! Alya is a proponent of the truth through and through, and is rather blunt often to the point of being brutally honest. Alya is not cunning, she is forthright and stubborn. If only she got a miraculous to reflect that.

More Suitable Miraculous: Ox, Rooster, Bee

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Ladybug of Creation

The ideal holder of the Ladybug Miraculous is someone who is creative, compassionate, and clever.

Marinette Anne Louise Dupain-Cheng is this in all the wrong fucking ways.

It does take a creative person to formulate a plan to woo your celebrity crush with a perfect version of you. It takes someone who knows how to be compassionate to so effectively deny a shred of it to Chat Noir. It takes a clever person to make up a fake eulogy. And yet, at the same time, Lucky Lucky Ladybug is hindered by her hot-headed entitlement and her need to be the center of attention. She lets her team do the creative work, weaponizes her compassion as something to market herself with, and is somehow so caught up in her own world that she ignores evidence of Adrien being a relationship when it is staring her in the face. Marinette is best described as an embodiment of "creation" only in the sense that she will one day orchestrate her own undoing.

More Suitable Miraculous: Anything would be better than the Ladybug. That way she isn't brainwashing people anymore.

Chat Noir/Errant - Black Cat of Destruction

The ideal— Actually, let's break from convention for this one.

If anyone is fit to embody Destruction, it is Adrien fucking Agresté.

Once you get deep enough into TWEOS, Adrien is by far the most emotionally turbulent character out of any of them. It helps that the narration is so often colored by his input, but his range is exceptional and takes up a significant focus of the story. He is the mostly openly self-destructive and suicidal, romanticizing the idea of dying with his girlfriend, but is equally willing to destroy others in pursuit of his goals.

It's also worth taking into account that TWEOS is essentially a corruption arc. The whole point of the story is to witness his circumstances tear him apart, unearth his traumas, show a version of Adrien that becomes bitter and violent and vengeful. What power would suit a vengeful, violent person better than the power to destroy things?

Conclusion

In short, it's meant to be incredibly ironic that the only holder that truly embodies their miraculous is the one that quits. The entire ordeal is a stageplay put on by higher powers, of course it's more important to them that their puppets are obedient more than anything.

Of course, this isn't to say that synergy between a person and their miraculous is a good thing, either; That's what makes the eventual magic-induced insanity even worse, after all. This is what killed Emilie, what's ruining Marinette's relationships, and what is starting to happen to Adrien as well.

[bakawitch]

So you've mentioned you have plans for Nino, Luka, Zoe, Chloe, and Sabrina in Enchantlings, and chances we can get some info on what those plans could be?

Since it might be a while until I get to draw them, sure!

Nino/Milo Kamal- He's just a random skater dude who's really into Alana. He's mostly a background character. He's usually super chill but gets kind of awkward around his crush.

Luka/Robin Clairmount - A nice guy generally. Kinda rebellious and is at a constant powerstruggle with his sister, trying to one up her (they still love each other sort of). Has a band, but he might as well be a solo act with how much he stands out. Will date Lisha at some point.

Sabrina/Myrtille Summers - The booksmart mean girl. Her dad is a very corrupt chief of police with a lot of dirt on important people, so she can basically get away with whatever she wants. She and her lackeys often bully Lisha and Alana because she thinks they're easy targets. Myrtille hates Lisha because of something that happened in middle school. Huge crush on Marcel.

Chloe/Colette Labelle - Lackey no. 1. Rich parents, walks in the same circles as Myrtille. They've been best friends since kindergarten. She's very one note and is dedicated to keeping her group's status in school and keeping them together. Status and loyalty is everything to her. She doesn't want others to gain entry into their little upper circle. She often motivates Myrtille to mess with Lisha.

Zoe/Cosette Labelle - Lackey no. 2 and Colette's younger twin. She's very close with her sister but not as close with Myrtille. She was hospitalised as a child and didn't get to attend kindergarten with them. She still follows the other two along enthusiastically, but she will eventually reach her breaking point when Myrtille and Colette go too far with a 'prank'.

Bonus!

Felix/Kevin McCormick - Ew. The absolute worst. The top jock in the school. Friends with Myrtille and Co. Super jealous of Marcel. Constantly scheming.

Lila/Gilda Contore - Weird girl who really really really really wants to get possessed.

[incohorace]

10 + 19 + 25

10. do any of your ocs contain any symbolism in themselves/their story?

im gonna answer this just for symbolism within character design because symbolism is everywhere in my stories i cant get enough of it 🤷‍♀️ i feel like my designs are never very visual or complex and therefore i dont use a lot of motifs so the only thing i can think of is cyrus's white ministerial hat/scarf that he wears when in the royal court.........its partly about Order & how love disrupts that (the way his affair (can i call it an affair if hes unmarried? its definitely illicit) with aurelius acts almost as an oasis and a place where he can let go of his usual layers of facades and the way love acts in direct opposition to any sort of rigid or hierarchical system) and partly about hidden identity and intentions & artifice in political settings & hidden motives and backgrounds

19. who is your most recent oc?

gian ciceli and his family and environs!! the cicelis are the noble/leading family of mizzene, a remote town overlooking a huge valley from a hilltop, and gian is the current lord & lady's second child and oldest son. the other main characters are lucia (his sharp older sister), beatriz and orlando (his lordly (?) parents), timeo (his dashing, gossipy older cousin), marcel (a handsome, mysterious knight who stops in mizzene for a night before continuing on to the nearby monastery to become a monk), leandra (a beautiful minstrel), his troupe (more musicians & possibly accompanied by a wealthy old man who is rather enamoured with leandra. in the pederasty sense 😐) and nino (gian's jovial uncle). and probably a lot more characters, including gian's little siblings, other cousins, other more distant relatives, other travellers passing through mizzene, some monks and nuns, some peasants from the lower level of mizzene (its arranged with the castle of the cicelis at the very top and then with descending levels) who come into contact with the cicelis, etc etc. it doesnt exactly have a plot yet, although i have a few hundred words of the opening, but themes include voice/art/song/speech/silence, nothingness/emptiness/otherness and change/upheaval/modernity (in the loosest sense because this is a vaguely 13th century setting alkfhlfgh)

25. are there any two characters that are like a dynamic duo/group?

kit gordon & jasper gordon............butch girl and vaguely effeminate blond twin brother who are both a little obsessed with their mother, completely inseperable, have the exact same girl issues (<- their words not mine) and are both weirdly popular. arent they wonderful. special mention to cyrus & aurelius for (nearly) overthrowing a despotic monarchy with the power of elaborate schemes, queer love and strategic positions in the royal court 😍

[ariadondo-trackingfossils]

It's about Nino thoughts again

For some reason Nino can't be mistaken or disguise convincingly as a girl despite his pretty face and short stature (both will stay for the rest of his life), which is funny because his personality is strange for either men or women to have and such things aren't tied to gender either (Mani's "Duke of the north" personality when she's very feminine otherwise, sample one).

He used to not know, so when he meets Marcel he totally expected a Rosa (his mom) comparison because of his face and hair, but is compared to his dad's great-uncle (Sergio) instead. He is very similar to him personality wise, astute nerds, boisterous and theatrically whiny, sly dead eyes and playful smile, even both are imitations of once living boys. Now, the shape of the eyes and smile themselves, even the rest of facial and body structure... the old man wasn't even a short redhead.

(at least he was curly too).

Must be the way he carries himself or something.

Stupid MLB 'Rewrite' Lore Dump!: Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland

Luka Couffaine, the frontman of Vampire Revival and notorious cheater, is nothing but the spitting image of his father. The only thing Jagged Stone (or, as he was born, Jack Zimmerman) had that Luka doesn't is that he combined the two.

(whole ass fake article under the cut)

Founded in 1978, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland owed its inspirations to the psychedelic movements of the 1960s as well as musical giants such as David Bowie and The Rolling Stones. Their first album, titled "Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland" was not a commercial success, but in recent years has amassed a following of fans who prefer the older psychedelic style of this album. In contrast, the second album, "A Kiss Too Far", was an instant hit that took on a much more "glam rock" aesthetic, helping popularize the style in France and Germany.

Much like his glam rock contemporaries, Jack Zimmerman took on a flamboyant, ostentatious, and occasionally androgynous style in his performances, and encouraged his bandmates--the aforementioned "Waifs of Wonderland"--to do the same. Each also adopted a stage name ending in "-ka". Drummer Anne "Anarka" Couffaine, Rhythm guitarist Ellen "Elvenka" Blackwell, Bassist Lucy "Lunoka" Müller, and Keyboardist Tori "Tonika" Blackwell are considered the most recognizable "Waifs of Wonderland", though other instrumentalists and artists have been featured in JSWW albums and been given their own "Waif Names" accordingly.

Aside from their music, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland is best known for the sheer amount of scandal they used to further drive publicity. Zimmerman was reported to be in committed relationships with all permanent "Waifs" at various points in the band's career, with later testimonies by band members reporting that Zimmerman was involved with no less then two relationships simultaneously (though it was not confirmed whether these stayed within the band itself). This caused significant strife for the band in their later years, notably leading Anne Couffaine to formally leave the group in 1988, shortly preceding the births of Luka Marcel and Juliette Élise Couffaine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh boy, there we go. if you got this far (or skipped past to get here), thank you :) tell me if y'all want to see more lore drops like this! mostly stuff for worldbuilding that isn't related to the main plot, obvi.

also, if it wasn't clear by the fact that i decided that Nino's name is now Nicolas Lahiffe... I like giving them all new names :) That, and because TWEOS is set nebulously around 2008-09, I changed the timeline of everything accordingly. :)))))
