#but i swear- and I won't say this about every Lila fan- no some of y'all are so valid

[cryptidofthekeys]

one of the most wild takes i seen and for context this in reference to the new spooky month short

the wildest take I saw was someone defending Lila for not at least trying to do something to prevent the kids from wrecking the store

they honestly said well she's grieving and going through a lot-

like??? yeah? okay? and- I've been through grief before, plenty of times- but my mom would never??? excuse wrecking a person's fucking store? She'd make me apologize and clean that shit up-

honestly sometimes I feel like THOSE kinds of people who defend Lila are the same mfers who think Gregor is a good guy (he IS kinda an antag fyi) like that's a wild take- excusing her kid and well uh Pump destroying the candy shop and excusing her not trying to do something about it, she was RIGHT THERE at the DOOR

FAQ about my rewrite/AU Miraculous: Magical Connections

A Brief Summary:

Miraculous: Magical Connections is a complete rewrite of the French TV show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir and aims to fix the issues many fans (such as myself) have with it. This includes but is not limited to: plot holes, character inconsistencies, and a general lack of story

How Mature is It?

Most of what I write is Teen and Up, and this is no exception

That isn't to say every character is going to swear and make sex jokes all the time, because they won't, but I wanted to work with a rating that allowed long time fans something to look forward to in this

I also wanted this to be a bit more on the mature side because if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to go into too much detail with certain characters backstories and the trauma they've gone through (such as Adrien)

What do you plan to Change?

A lot of it! I have completely rewritten the character backstories, have overhauled a lot of their designs, and have given them all a proper personality (not to say they didn't before but now they're more diverse)

I have also changed a lot of things that many of the fanbase just didn't enjoy, such as Chloé's loss of character development, the younger demographic causing certain topics (such as Adrien's trauma) to be extremely watered down, and other things

However as for the main plot of the story, it's still mostly the same in that Marinette and Adrien are Ladybug and Chat Noir fighting against Monarque (Hawk Moth) and Paon Aimant (Mayura) and Lila is still another antagonist (though my version is arguably more terrifying given she actually knows what she's doing)

Any Added/Removed Episodes? Why?

I'm going to be taking something from every episode of the show, whether that be the plot of the episode, the Akuma/Sentimonster, or just certain information but none of the episodes are going to be a one-to-one retelling with rewritten characters

When an episode is used in a way that was more or less what happened in canon, there will be enough changes to make sure I'm not just copy and pasting the episode

Changes to the Heroes or Villains?

When it comes to Miraculous holders? Nope, all Miraculous holders will keep the Miraculous that they wield in canon (With the exception of Zoé who doesn't replace Chloé)

But Akumas/Sentimonsters? Yep! I have quite a few original Akumas and Sentimonsters, though I doubt most of them will get their own chapters since most are going to be used as throw away to further world-building

Any Ships?

Most canon ships will stay the same, such as Adrien/Marinette, Alya/Nino, and Ivan/Mylène being endgame, however a few other ships will happen throughout the story that aren't endgame such as Marinette and Adrien's relationships before they get together

There are also other ships that will happen that aren't canon to the story due to them not having a canonical partner, such as Sabrina

The only canon ship that won't be canon in my rewrite is Félix/Kagami as (while I like the ship) I have other plans for them

On the topic of ships though!

LGBTQIA+ Characters?

Marc, Nathaniel, Juleka, Rose, Max, and Alix, like in canon, are all queer, however a good chunk of the rest of the cast are also in some form queer because 1. I'm following a lot of popular headcanons, and 2. I want them to be

Any Lore Changes?

The most notable is how Miraculous came to be, something that will be elaborated in the story itself, however due to the change in this there are a few changes I've needed to make

The Peacock Miraculous was never broken so Emilie simply died in an accident, this also led me to making Adrien, Félix, and Kagami all humans

I've also changed certain aspects about Guardians and the overall world, such as making certain magical creatures real (namely dragons) and further tying Kwami's and their abilities into real world stories such as the lost City of Atlantis and the Loch Ness Monster

And if it wasn't obvious, I've also changed the lore behind the Kwami's so they're no longer these random magical creatures and instead Gods (which was never confirmed in the show)
