[nionom-art]

Kwami ocs are so damn cool, dude. Raccoon Dog is such a good idea for one too! The design for the transformed suit looks siiick!!!

I hope we get to see the Kwami's design soon too. I bet they'll look soon cuuuute. Especially in your artstyle, which, BTW, is verryyyyy adorable!

Anyway. You're amazing, and wonderful, and don't forget to grab a snack and drink water(or an electrolyte drink!) Have an awesome night or day!!

So remembered an animatic that said every Ladybug holder was destined to abandon their Black Cat and they'd never see each other again. So I quickly threw together a set of curses for all the Chinese Box.

Ladybug - They are destined to always die alone with their goals unaccomplished

Black Cat - They are fated to always be abandoned by the person they hold closest

Fox - They are fated to always destroy the person they love most

Turtle - When it counts most they won’t be able to protect those they hold most dear

Bee - They are fated to drive others away at their most vulnerable

Butterfly - They are fated to have their good intentions twisted sour

Peacock - They are fated to put their faith and love into the wrong person and destroy themselves

Snake - At the end of things, they will always end up alone

Dragon - They are fated to never have the strength they most need

Bunny - They are destined to see the worst fates of their friends repeat over and over again with no chance to save them

Tiger - They are destined to always squeeze too tight and break those they love

Pig - Their kindness and desire to help will be their downfall

Mouse - They are fated to feel the weight of every task and eventually be crushed by it

Ox - They are cursed to be destroyed by their own growing doubt

Horse - They are fated to always be a moment too slow and be ruined by it

Monkey - Their happiness will come at the cost of the misery of others

Goat - They will be consumed by their passion and desires

Dog - They will devote their lives to a goal and only in their last moments realize they were wrong

Rooster - The people they hold closest will be unreachable

My rough idea is that the Miraculous of the Chinese Miracle Box are so powerful that their magic naturally backlashes onto the user in the form of a curse. So if someone wears a Miraculous for too long, they will be doomed to the curse even if they take it off.

The Community Box 2025

Greetings y'all, this page will contain this year's kwamis, which is 11. All of these are mutuals/friends of mine, so go check them out as they're all cool people, but with that sorted here they are.

|Fox Miraculous|

Concept: Mirth

Jewelry: Charm Bracelet

Kwami: Jovv

Weapon: Hula-Hoop

Power: Yippee - When activated, the area surrounding the user will fill with an aura that lifts spirits, making everyone inside laugh and joyful. This will also defuse any tenseness or aggressiveness within targets.

Transformation Phrases: "Playtime!" "Naptime."

Hero Alias (Holder): Bella (@authorambermkestner)

|Worm Miraculous|

Concept: Persistence

Jewelry: Segment Ring

Kwami: Mullch

Weapon: Whip Sword

Power: Coat - When activated, a coat of slime surrounds the user, making them both physically and mentally immune to attacks. However, their slime can fall off, which in turn reduces their power, so the less slime they have, the weaker their immunity.

Transformation Phrases: "Press On!" "Withdraw."

Hero Alias (Holder): Bottom Feeder (@redtriangle)

|Bunny Miraculous|

Concept: Curiosity

Jewelry: Carrot Pin

Kwami: Currio

Weapon: Pickaxe

Power: Seek - When activated, the user can find anything or anyone no matter where they are. After activating their powers, they must say the name of the person or object, and they will know the exact location. The only things that cannot be precisely pinpointed are magical beings and objects and will give only a rough estimate of where they are.

Transformation Phrases: "Hop To It!" "Take A Nap."

Hero Alias (Holder): Lady Hops (@kittysuicoffee)

|Bat Miraculous|

Concept: Perception

Jewelry: Brooch

Kwami: Ecco

Weapon: Baton

Power: Aware - When activated, the user goes into a state of hyperawareness. This allows them to notice everything around them in detail that a normal person wouldn't. The only downside is that they may experience sensory overload if activated too long.

Transformation Phrases: "Stay Vigilant!" "Roost."

Hero Alias (Holder): Dhampir (@naturegreenr-2)

|Draught Horse Miraculous|

Concept: Strength

Jewelry: Belt Buckle

Kwami: Drayy

Weapon: Barbell

Power: Bulk - When activated, the user's whole body begins to grow in size. They become larger and stronger than all other holders in this stage. However, they do begin to deflate over time and shrink back to their original form.

Transformation Phrases: "Haul Ass!" "Breaktime."

Hero Alias (Holder): Dobbin (@bakawitch)

|Cat Miraculous|

Concept: Solitude

Jewelry: Choker Necklace

Kwami: Purr

Weapon: Teaser Wand

Power: Purr-Vacy - When activated, the user essentially becomes a ghost. They're invisible, intangible, and immune to all forms of detection and physical harm. They can't, however, interact with anything on the physical plane unless they turn off their power. They can only toggle this power up to five times before the user detransforms.

Transformation Phrases: "Stray Off!" "Pspspsps."

Hero Alias (Holder): Stray (@kari-go)

|Hamster Miraculous|

Concept: Possession

Jewelry: Fanny Pack

Kwami: Nibbs

Weapon: Chakram

Power: Pouch - When activated, the user can access the pocket dimension inside of their fanny pack. They can store items for safekeeping or even beings to trap inside. Even if they detransform, the items/beings will still be in there until the holder reactivates the power to take them out.

Transformation Phrases: "Nom Nom!" "Spit Out."

Hero Alias (Holder): Rodent Tooth (@fabseg-creator)

|Hedgehog Miraculous|

Concept: Adaptability

Jewelry: Spiked Cuff

Kwami: Quill

Weapon: Javelin

Power: Alter - When activated, the user can transform the environment around them. The user must have a clear idea of how they want the terrain to look, and it only affects a five-mile radius. They also know how to traverse the terrain with ease, knowing every detail about it.

Transformation Phrases: "Curl Up!" "Unfold."

Hero Alias (Holder): Spindash (@adventuremaker21)

|Cricket Miraculous|

Concept: Harmony

Jewelry: C-Clef Necklace

Kwami: Chiirp

Weapon: Viola w/ Bow

Power: Melody - When activated, the user plays their instrument and fills those who hear their melody with emotions. This power can be used to either aid your allies or hinder your opponents. However, if the user is interrupted by their performance, then the power disappears in an instant.

Transformation Phrases: "Let's Start the Show!" "Let's Take a Bow."

Hero Alias (Holder): Minstrel (@itskarmalonekar)

|Chinese Dragon Miraculous|

Concept: Authority

Jewelry: Laurel Crown

Kwami: Legiss

Weapon: Guqin

Power: Decree - When activated, the user can create a rule that affects a single target or an area for multiple targets to follow. The user plays their Guqin while reciting what rule they want in order to activate it. However, if the user wants to create a new rule, then the old one will no longer be in effect, as only one rule can be active.

Transformation Phrases: "To the Heavens!" "Down to Earth."

Hero Alias (Holder): Yuheng (Akay)

|Penguin Miraculous|

Concept: Community

Jewelry: Anklet

Kwami: Noot

Weapon: Paddle

Power: Link - When activated, the user can telepathically communicate with others. They can use this power up to five times with different targets; however, every time they use it, they subtract another minute from their timer.

Transformation Phrases: "Huddle!" "Disperse."

Hero Alias (Holder): Snowdrop (@dennistherabbitfan7)

[nixthelapin]

I’m sure I’m shouting into the void with this question since I don’t really have that many followers, but is anyone aware of a “theme” between the secondary Miraculous jewels in the main box (Fox, Turtle, Bee, Peacock, Butterfly)? Because they seem like rather random selections to me, especially when the rest of the box has explicit ties to Chinese concepts (Yin & Yang, Chinese zodiac). I’m not even close to an expert on Chinese culture, so if there is a connection, I’d love to be made aware of it, but right now I’m drawing a huge blank

EDIT: some others were kind enough to give a few explanations in the comments and reblogs, so please check those out if you’re interested! :)

Italic- Canon Kwamis

*- Any kwami marked with an asterisk either belongs to my close friend @graaythekwami or draws from elements of one of their kwamis that I'm incorporating into my own headcanons

**- Any kwami marked with two consecutive asterisks draws inspiration from @this-wildchild-writes and their original kwamis

[bakawitch]

It's been awhile so I figured I'd post the most recent version of the kwamis currently in use for Forget Me Not

Revealed users:

Ballet Box: White Swan - Marinette - Plumette Black Swan - Anastasia Gusev - Black Feather Bear - Socqueline - Veloura/Ursine Blue Bird - Luka - Gryphon Horse - Alix - Chariot VII Spider - Lila - Funnel Web

Chinese Box: Butterfly - Gabriel - Hawkmoth Peacock - Nathalie - Mayura

Vindicator Box: Luna Moth - Céline Lamar - Mistress Moon

(Red spot means a kwami is unavailable. They're not claimed but they can't be accessed by the characters.)

Feel free to keep suggesting canon characters (except for Alya, Nino, Adrien, Felix, Kagami and Chloe) for the unmarked kwamis though! I'll open oc submissions too once the plot has been a bit better explained :D

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

somehow JUST realized that the non-main miraculouses are the chinese zodiac animals.....

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Neil,

I hope this doesn't get buried in the ask box, but if it does, I'll still be glad I sent this, just to know this little lengthy slice of complement and thanks existed in your inbox is enough. I apologize for the length, I am pretty sure the grammar is in tatters...and probably just the general awkwardness in advance.

Frist of all, congratulations for Good Omens Season2, it's a roaring success even here in this...I don't know, bottomless pit? I myself and some others fondly call it the PRC. The show didn't made pass the firewall officially, neither was Prime Video. People still managed to watch it eventually by VPNs, shared accounts and when times are desperate...sorry, piracy. Chinese fans, including myself, using every tool in the shed to try to fool Amazon™ and our goverment, just to watch this on Prime and try to help to manifest S3, is one hell of an experience. This kind of experience is pathetic, ridiculous....and somehow hilarious in a dark, gallows humor way, almost like some bad spy comedy, I just have to share it. Worth all the trouble by the way, the reward at the end of the back channel is...well, some divine comedy to say the very least. All in all, it's a brilliant show and a solid job well-done.

Then some of my personal gratitude. They say good art resonates with your soul, I now know this is just as true as matter and gravity. Since I know Good Omens certainly resonated with mine. I'll redact the typical "depression and anxiety reduced me to a husk, a shadow of my former self" story and get to the result for brevity's sake. I can't write anything meaningful while I know I took joy in writing, I can't finish reading anything longer than a brochure while I know I was such a bookworm in the past. Then I was compelled to get up in the middle of the night, wrote a full 5000 character long analysis after marathoned S2, and then write even more analyses in both Chinese and English. I picked up American Gods because I know I need more Neil Gaiman in my life and then impressed by myself for actually finishes it the second time 5 years later. I didn't know how exactly that happened through one watch of a TV show, but I know I am changed for the better. I grasped life again, and can start living again, somehow. The resonation just keeps on giving.

This is a quiet, gentle and romantic story, it is soothing, accepting, filled to the brim with love and kindness, and it makes me feel safe and accepted and loved in a way I never felt before. I thank you for it, and hope thart I may have the privlige to witness more of this miracle. Thank you Neil, Sir Terry Pratchett and the team for this miraculous book and this miraculous show.

谢谢。(I just had to say thanks with my mother tongue, it feels more earnest this way)

Thank you so much! I'm impressed by everything you and your countryfolk have gone through to watch it as legitimately as you could.

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Sometimes I wish that the show expanded on the miraculous lore instead of the love square drama. I mean, of course it's a rom-com at it's core but it's also a magical girl anime. Sailor Moon did a pretty good job juggling the two.

Anyways, I've been trying to make some headcanons that might fit the show given that they've given us crumbs. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

1. There's a secret society or elite clubs where they're hoarding or possibly hunting for miraculouses. Which is why the guardians haven't been able to retrieve most of them.

2. The Order at Tibet isn't the only one. There's at least one order at every continent to keep an eye on the Miraculous/Kwami.

3. Master Fu just assumed that the kwamis in the Chinese Miracle Box are 'Chinese' but they are a collection of different miraculouses from different miracle boxes. (Maybe he also just named it as the Chinese Miracle Box because of their temple's location.

4. Some people who are akumatized are able to remember some of what they did. And some akumatized people still have bits of their transformation. Just to show that the power of ladybug isn't enough and that creation needs destruction in order to cure the damage during akuma battles.

5. Some of the kwamis are interrelated or that their forms aren't just one. They said that kwamis are born from concepts. And human belief/faith, is another form of concepts. So the kwamis physical form shouldn't be just one.

6. The sentihumans 'human body' cannot be destroyed nor die unless their amok is destroyed (show canon) so even when they die, they'll either reconstruct a new body or resurrect.

7. What do you think of kwamis that are related to sins, virtues, seasons, religion, and the soul? Since they are technically concepts so there should be kwamis of them.

Hope you enjoy this ask tbh. I just saw one of your post and couldn't help but ask you this.

-Rian

These were really fun! I'll give some notes on my three favorites.

Some people who are akumatized are able to remember some of what they did. And some akumatized people still have bits of their transformation. Just to show that the power of ladybug isn't enough and that creation needs destruction in order to cure the damage during akuma battles.

That would be an interesting way to use Destruction! I've always took the stance that Chat Noir should have a sister power that gets used whenever an akuma leaves something that needs cleaning up, but using it to destroy memories of people being used by the villain certainly has potential. I'm normally pretty against the destruction of memories, but it's hard to see a good argument for people being forced to remember something like an akumatization. I think most people would want to forget that or maybe the power would only work if people wanted to forget. Curious if others agree.

Some of the kwamis are interrelated or that their forms aren't just one. They said that kwamis are born from concepts. And human belief/faith, is another form of concepts. So the kwamis physical form shouldn't be just one.

Hard agree. I think the kwamis forms should all be a thing they chose that then inspired human legends. This explains the tie between the kwamis and myths while also justifying the mismatch between the powers and the myths. For example, black cats being bad luck came from Plagg's existence, but is obviously not right because Plagg is Destruction, not Bad Luck. A previous holder just got on the wrong side of the church back in the Middle Ages and now here we are.

The sentihumans 'human body' cannot be destroyed nor die unless their amok is destroyed (show canon) so even when they die, they'll either reconstruct a new body or resurrect.

Hard agree on this one, too. One of the many reasons why I didn't think the sentitheory was real was the fact that Adrien was a squishy normal human as we saw in Riposte:

Adrien: Watch out Ladybug! (He dives at her and they roll out of danger right before Riposte could skewer Ladybug.) Ouch! (Adrien holds his hurt ankle.) Ladybug: Are you hurt? Adrien: I'm fine.

He spends a good chunk of this episode limping around when it should have been used to hint that he can't be hurt because he's not a real human.

What do you think of kwamis that are related to sins, virtues, seasons, religion, and the soul? Since they are technically concepts so there should be kwamis of them.

I personally think that canon went way too abstract on the kwamis. As written in canon, yes, there should be kwamis for all of the things you listed, but that's a little insane in my book. Way too many powers and kwamis to deal with! Because canon isn't about tracking down infinite kwamis, I'd make the concepts way more limited. I'd also have the kwamis be created by Tikki and not just a thing that happens. The tracking-down-kwamis-like-clow-cards route is the only route in which I'd keep canon's current lore.

[lostuntothisworld]

Okay so I think it's time for another spaghetti theory:

Lilamoth isn't collecting moms. She's collecting sisters (or siblings)

Let me explain my thought process here. So a big complaint the fandom has is that we don't have a proper rogue gallery for villains. It's just the butterfly, and nothing else. It worked for early seasons, but things might be getting stale for some folks.

Enter new characters connected to Lilamoth somehow.

So she has 3 moms so far (that we know about.) All but one have something in common: dark hair and blue eyes.

From left to right we have Mrs. Rossi (red), Mrs. Bianca (white), and her third mother who is deaf could possibly be Mrs. Verdi (green).

Then we have this fourth lady that we see Lilamoth watching on her phone in the season 5 finale. I would NOT be surprised if Odille is going to be her 4th mom. Dark hair and blue eyes, and she is also disabled, just like her third mom.

(And I would not be surprised if we find out her surname is Nero (black), or Viola (violet). More on that aspect of this crack theory in a bit...)

Anyway, back to the concept of a rogues gallery. In the finale we see Lila in a disguise that 's VERY reminiscent of one of her moms:

Certainly she can't expect to disguise herself as a woman in her 30's-40's, and especially not with glasses and bangs. But she can pass reasonably as a teenage girl with a dark bob and glasses. You know, a sister.

So we know a certain main character whose name is in the title and wears red with black polkadots has dark hair and blue eyes. We don't know Lilamoth's motivations and and end goal, but we can surmise that she wants to take the place of Marinette.

(And I KNOW I've seen at least one other person theorize this, and I cannot find the post(s) so if you can find it please let me know so I can link it here!)

The pictures we see is one of Marinette with her classmates on the Liberty where Zoe is accepted in the friend group, Marinette with her parents, 3 pictures of Marinette with Kagami, and one picture of Marinette with Luka.

It's interesting to note that there isn't a picture of Marinette and Adrien together shown to the audience. You'd think they'd emphasize that, but no, it's mostly Kagami. I know it's because it's because the episode focuses on Kagami, but still. Other than her, it's just Marinette's parents, Zoe and Luka (Luka! Marinette's ex!) showcased in the closeup screenshot.

I got sidetracked! Anyway, I think other than similar coloring (and color-themed surnames haha) Lilamoth is trying to find other teenagers who are willing to join forces with her. She probably will get her hands on some Miraculous for them, somehow. But I don't think the new jewels will be from the Chinese box.

Here's where things start REALLY going off the rails with this theory:

All of Lilamoth's rogue gallery of villains are her adopted sisters (or siblings) and they are all Luka's exes. He's got a type for Italians with dark hair and blue eyes...

Going back to the surnames, all the surnames have something in common: they share the colors of all of Adrien's various transformations over the course of the series so far:

Rossi: Mister Bug

Bianca: Chat Blanc

Verdi: Aspik

We're just missing Chat Noir (could possibly will be the surname Nero, as it's Italian)

and Ephemeral (it's interesting to note that the surname Lee in Chinese can mean plum, which of course, is purple)

So naturally, my crack theory circles back to Lukadrien is endgame.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

{{{{{{Edit as of April 3, 2024.}}}}}

I will NOT be surprised if this girl with black hair in an extremely recognizable style is a disguise of another sister.

Is Lilamoth collecting blackmail to manipulate them later? She's very obviously walking disguised in areas where there would be lots of cameras (The inside of the Agreste mansion, and the hotel).

(Edit as of April 27, 2024!)

Now we know the synopsis of the London Special, I believe the disguises are to hide Lilamoth's tracks because she knows Maribug's identity. Bonus points if these girls were previous Ladybugs in past time lines that Lilamoth stole the identities of...

[[[Edit: May 4, 2024]]]

I think I found the names of the previous Ladybugs: Marina, Shone, and Mio. (Please enjoy a silly extremely rough draft of where I'd personally go with the show)

As for the rest of the spray paint on the walls, this mural is an actual feature of the Paris Catacombs:

And while I think that most of the other tags on the wall are functionally meaningless and just there for ambiance, I do find the 777-777 tag to be of note. 7 Ladybugs till Lilamoth's goal? What's the deal with the arrows and the floating away 3 7's? Are 3 already "gone"??? Fascinating stuff! My mind is reeling!

[Edit for May 6, 2024]

Possibly figured out the source of the lightning in the season 5 finale. For whatever reason it's not showing up in the tags lmfao tungle is a functional website

[immaturityofthomasastruc]

This is something that's been on my mind for a bit, but is there anything Marinette is technically bad at? Stammering around Adrien doesn't count, and the only thing I can think of is Frozer, where Marinette needed Luka's help to skate.

She's an expert gamer, apparently an amazing baker, a fashion virtuoso, a mechanical engineer (her diary box and her sewing kit with the Miracle Box in it), a perfect leader, an incredible artist, the best Guardian, and God knows what else. She was even able to adapt to different miraculous powers, have little trouble fighting with new weapons, and just acquire new skills in a snap. Literally, during Kagami's debut episode, she was also able to adapt to fencing really easily.

The question is, are there any instances that at least prove me wrong? I hope so, because Marinette has always struck me as the kind of protagonist where they just slap on skill after skill as the plot requires, and my opinion on this show is already so low....

Well, she does struggle to speak Mandarin Chinese, so that's something.

[crimsonmonsoon]

Updated kwami designs of Plagg and Tikki for my miraculous ladybug rewrite on Ao3 and Wattpad (oh my god it's like 59 chapters long I'm going feral) It's got 239,874 words rn and idk if that actually makes it the longest thing I've ever written... If it is, idk if I should feel sad for myself or impressed lmao

I got my first hate comment focused on their designs a couple weeks ago and it was because I made all of them Chinese... They wanted racial representation but bro, worldbuilding, they're all from china. I made other miracle boxes. The north american one is various american indigenous races. Suck my toe lol.

The other complaints I get are that Dusuu is a boy in my fic. Idk what to say, he's my son now. Crybaby boy. Giving him forehead kisses. He's the Reiner to my Hajime Isayama, the Sukuna to my Gege Akutami.

Cursed/Banished Miraculous

So I know Miraculous Ladybug is a kids show but as a writer, I can't help but think of new and cool concepts. I feel like the new seasons could have lot of cool potential as long as they don't recycle stuff over and over again. I do wish that we could of had the newest season be where our good old protagonists graduate, NOT FOR WEIRD ADULT STUFF, but to be able to push the boundaries of the villains and concepts just a bit. And to see a certain blonde be absolutely screwed over when she can't rely on anyone for college. The Chat Blanc episode? Absolute Cinema. I was very glad to see our beloved cat boy break loose.

But I feel like the Miraculous history could be greatly expanded on. For example, there are other miracle boxes and kwami that haven't really been expanded on enough. For example, why don't we have a spider kwami? Or a octopus kwami? They are cosmic, spirit-like entities who embody "abstract" concepts that are formed whenever a new abstract idea, concept, or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as creation, love, beauty, and mathematics. SO in theory, this could also include stronger or more negative emotions as well.

So, I'm about to do a bit of a OC or AU lore dump I guess? It could be absolute garbage and I'm putting way too much lore into a kids show but hey, I'm a writer. There are FAR worse things we can picture. So if y'all want to read, go right ahead. Have a fantastic day, wether you entertain my lore or not. If you want to skip to the cursed/banished Miraculous bits, just scroll down to the bottom. I just like adding background and I actually had a lot of fun with this XD

Hey! Your still here! Great! Let's get started! Get some snacks, maybe hydrate as well. And put on chapstick. Health is important.

Anyway, I'm sourcing the canon lore from the wiki fandom, some I'm not just going to go completely off the rails. I'ma put quotes around it to indicate that it's from the wiki.

"All of the Kwamis know each other and journeyed across the universe for eons. During their travels, they found their way to Earth and at some point discovered their magical powers, born from the abstract concepts that they respectively embody, with Plagg using his powers to cause the extinction of the dinosaurs. That's when the kwamis realized, even though their powers were great, they were too strong and unfocused, leading to great damage."

So this also means that emotional concepts, both good and bad, can form kwamis. Apparently, it wasn't till a Chinese mage 5000 years ago created the first Miraculous', so they could manifest in a physical form to interact with humans. Now, this is where things get a bit muddy in the lore, because we don't know much about what happened to kwamis during human history. We've had a LOT of bad stuff happen from wars, atomic bombs, revolutions, The Crusades, the Black Death, SOOOO many things that could possibly be due to Kwamis or greatly influence them according to the miraculous lore. Plagg destroying the freaking dinosaurs proves that.

Now, 3,000 B.C is about 5000 years ago when the Chinese mage created the miraculous, which was the Bronze Age. This also means that until the Order was created, Kwamis basically had lots of freedom as they were able to interact with humanity for the first time. I'm not sure if the Order was immediately created after the Chinese mage created the miraculous but I think if a Chinese mage in 3,000 B.C can figure out how to make a miraculous, then so can other civilizations.

According to wonderful Google, in China, 3000 B.C. falls within the Late Neolithic period. They had just established farming, stone tools, and settled down in one place. At the time, North America was also in a similar state by learning to fish and use copper. South America had full on trade routes and pyramids back then and Egypt was doing amazing too! If the Chinese could do it when they were in the Late Neolithic Period, then I promise you that the Egyptians, Native Americans, Africans, Europeans, Mongols, Mayans, Japanese, maybe even the Aztecs would have been able to figure it out.

Except the Australians, no offense. You should read about Australian history, it's really wild, they basically burned down their entire continent due to hunting practices of setting things on fire to hunt animals. They didn't really... Progress much until colonial times.

Where was I?

Oh right, got carried away there. XD

With each culture, there is a lot of rich history there as well as concepts and emotions that the Kwamis could have definitely fed off of. Both good and bad, for example, the Aztecs were quite possibly the most violent culture in the world. There is absolutely no way that a kwami of literal battle or murder didn't exist because of them. Looking at the list of miraculous and kwami, there are so many creatures and concepts that could become kwami because of interactions with humans. Kwamis love humanity as a whole, as it is their job to protect them.

So let's say, some Kwamis loved humanity... too much.

Thus, we arrive at my idea of cursed or more accurately, corrupted Miraculous' and Kwami. I'ma have a lot of fun with this concept as I am very sad that I'm trash at art. I'd love to give y'all a visual.

So let's say that when kwamis were able to interact with humanity, everything was amazing. They were able to help people, get a good sense of the world around them, and care about them. Tikki, as we know, is the eldest Miraculous, so she's probably used to all the suffering and loss at a holder dying of old age or violent causes. It doesn't make it easier, but she has a wisdom that it's meant to happen eventually and the pain is worth the happy moments. For younger ones however, who still need to find their concepts and what they stand for, things might be a lot harder. This leads to attachment and... Instability.

So, if you were a immortal being with powers that could blow up an entire species on accident, and were absolutely tired of seeing the mortals you care about die over and over to the point of frustration, what would you do? You would do one or more of these four things.

A: You would try and make your mortal stronger, faster, and more powerful to overcome.

B: You would lash out, maybe even hold a grudge or even hatred against humanity for dying too easily.

C: You would love and try and do your best so your mortal is remembered no matter what.

Or D, what most Kwamis chose: Remember and move on with difficulty, life is moving as it should.

The pain either caused desperation, rage, or obsession with humanity for these poor Kwamis. So much, that their emotions and essence began to change their holders as well...

It's been proven that Kwamis' personalities and state affect their holders, it made Marinette more confident, it made Adrian more playful and flirty, and even killed and put Adrian's mother in a coma when the peacock miraculous was damaged. So, if a kwami beginning to show signs of a deteriorating emotional or mental state, this could harmfully effect their holders.

And harm them it did.

Holders of the Kwamis affected started to shift, as the features once part of their costumes became part of their day to day lives. At first it was harmless, tails and an extra pair of ears did nothing but catch suspicious stares but they could still be hidden. But then their biology started to shift and change with fangs, horns, venom, giving birth to new cunning and violent races of instinct. Becoming the embodiments of the Kwamis representation. To make things even worse, the use of cursed miraculous' became an addiction of power, twisting its holder into obedience to the Kwamis demand.

When this started to happen, the intact Kwamis came together in a meeting, but it was decided that they couldn't harm their brethren so easily. What really set everyone off was the Black Death.

It was originally an accident. The Rat Kwami, Scamper, was having a terrible time. Scamper was hungry, unbelievably hungry as he started eating so much of the grime and trash in medieval Europe. This was due to his grief of losing his latest holder who was very kind to him. His holder was getting sick, very sick outside of the country side. For months, his new holder was showing signs of the corruption that Scamper's mental state was causing. That grief started to give way to more hunger, more anger, until it manifested into a gluttony that couldn't be tamed.

His new holder felt this gluttony, going feral as they started to eat rats in the streets. Lymph nodes started to appear on the holders body as his rat tail thrashed, tearing into whatever it could find. Unfortunately, the dead rats blood became tainted with the strange sickness and rats being rats, consumed the blood, and thus, the Black Death killed a third of all Europe before it was stopped by the Kwamis by using all their power. In the end, they realized the pure horror that was being unleashed.

One by one, all the remaining Kwamis traveled across the globe to eliminate all new species created by the corrupted Miraculous'. It took many many years, but they were able to get everything under control again. The corrupted Kwamis however... They didn't recover.

Forced by their lack of recovery, Tikki and Plagg worked together to seal the corrupted into a vault, locked away deep in a temple where only a non-corrupted Miraculous' could unlock it's magic lock. The corrupted, though asleep, still remember what the others did... And they never forgave them.

And we are done with the main lore! Wow! This took me quite a bit of time. Now, onto the fun bits! Character Building! I'm just going to do one and do a series because all this lore is WAYYY longer than I thought it was going to be, so if y'all want a specific animal, comment! I'll do it completely free and/or anonymous if y'all wish. :)

The Jaguar Miraculous, Miraculous of Rage and Sacrifice:

This corrupted Kwami is named Yaotl, meaning warrior. Originating in the Aztec culture, he was greatly revered by them and was even known as one of the gods. Constantly dressed in warpaint and blood on his fangs, he has a very aggressive but passionate personality, as he was fiercely protective of his people and his culture. He loved warfare and bloodshed, as he saw it as an act of great passion and honor for his people and the gods. Because of the Aztecs, he was incredibly used to sacrifice and violent acts in the name of the Aztec. He was incredibly happy with the arrangement.

Everything changed when the Spanish invaded Central Mexico. Yaotl's people were deemed savages and were slaughtered by them with weapons he hadn't seen before. Spanish steel cut right through the brittle armor of the Aztecs while small pox soon ravaged the survivors. To make things even worse, Stompp, the Bull Kwami of Determination, also helped in the invasion with his holder in the name of the Spanish. Yaotl's status as a god was stripped away from him, completely dishonorably. He never recovered, as he made Stompp his nemesis...

Yaotl soon snuck on a Spanish ship back to Spain where he took a new host, as his old one died at the end of the Spanish conquest. Yaotl, full of anger and the desire for vengeance of his people, twisted his holder to have fangs, a jaguar tail, jaguar ears, and a passion level very close to the surface. His holders also began to have an unquenchable taste for blood and sacrifice, which caused him to become best friends with the Corrupted Lion Miraculous, Maxima. Maxima came to be during the Roman Empire and helped spread it's influence before it fell. Because of this, she and Yaotl have a deep connection of losing their nations and influence. Until he was sealed away with the other corrupted, Yaotl participated in all wars the most he could, especially against the Spanish.

Yaotl's weapon of choice for his holder was two macuahuitl's, a club like weapon with obsidian blades on the edges. Here's a lovely picture.

Using these weapons, Yaotl and his holders became extremely dangerous and violent in battle. Yaotl's special ability made this so much worse however.

After saying, "Rip and Tear!" Yaotl's holders will suddenly get a burst of energy, strength, and speed that will push them to the absolute limit to the point of pure exhaustion and drop their holders blood sugar, making the need to rip into high calorie meals or meat much greater than before. Along with this boost, the holder will also feel a pure unstoppable rage that will make it extremely hard to tell friend from foe. This rage and boast can also be extended to others, making this an extremely dangerous ability.

The corrupted Jaguar Miraculous is a necklace/gold choker with an bone carved tiger amulet in the middle. To activate it, all you would need to shout is, "Yaotl! For Huitzilopochtli and Blood!" Huitzilopochtli is the god of war in the Aztec pantheon, so Yaotl believes showing thanks to him is a good thing to do for good luck in the battle to come. To deactivate the miraculous, saying, "Yaotl, Ixtlilton preserve us..." Ixtlilton was the god of medicine, be he was also said to help children sleep. Yaotl actually has a bit of a soft spot for children, as he witnessed the Aztecs often sacrifice them for the Rain God. Although these children were treated with honor at the time, he refrains from hurting children in battle or raids, as he deems it dishonorable to fight someone who isn't ready to fight yet at such a young age.

Anyway, we are done! You made it to the end! Thank you so much for seeing my lore dump about this AU or OC or whatever it is. I love writing and history, even if this is just a cringy kids show. Anyway, if you want to request a certain animal miraculous, I can definitely do that for fun. Byyyeeee :D

[princess-of-the-corner]

According to what we're told, using a Miraculous for selfish reasons has serious consequences. And as I just found out, that aligns with the Daoist view on magic and demons (alongside so many influenced by Chinese culture, such as Japan): in a VERY abridged summary, magic is to use one's qi to force reality to bend to their will, and a selfish use is dark magic, that brings the user closer and closer to animals and demons (the latter of which are defined by the use of dark magic and abysmal self control), until they exist to satisfy only their ego and lust for power through the imbalance on their qi that they generated by using dark magic for so long.

It's perfect for the series, and it fits the Daoist theme of the Chinese Miracle Box and neatly explains both Gabriel's progressive fall into villainy (he progressively went more and more demonic) and why Felix was redeemed (his intentions being good and selfless the very act of using the Miraculous knocked sense into him)... And yet I know it's a complete accident, as they put the Miraculous Temple in Tibet and thus made the Order a MAHAYANA BUDDHIST organization.

For someone who looks closely to the lore like myself, it's infuriating.

I mean the problem there is genuinely just re; Gabe vs Felix in both had motivations that had one foot in the darkness and the other in a Hello Kitty rollerskate when it comes to selfish and good intentions.

KOTLC X MLB AU (Part 4)

Previous parts are linked in 3. No I'm not going to relink them.

So! First off before anything else;

I'M NOT WRITING IF PEOPLE DON'T READ.

Just a general "this is a discardable WIP to me" "I can easily drop if people do not want to interact" "I have more WIPs I'm actually attached to" "reblog this more if you want the person who does not HAVE to write it, to actually write it"

I apologize for sounding like this. I'm in a bad mood today.

Now onto the Miraculous in this AU!

-Ladybug and Black Cat

So go read the previous parts first. *waits* Done? Cool. So now you know Sophie is the LB and Fitz is the CN. The deal up with the Guardians that makes them go "hmm there is more to this"?

Plagg and Tikki did not know the other was activated, and Fitz and Sophie help different people.

As in, one of them helps an old man, the other helps an old woman. These two strangers look very different. That, plus Plagg and Tikki being completely separate and surprised at the activation of the other? Alarm bells are ringing!

(The ambiguity of who is who is because I haven't PICKED who is who. actually reblog with who you think the "Guardians" should be, valid reasoning, just ironic pick, etc etc)

It's why one mystery will be the searching of who gave out the magic jewellery?

-Chinese Miracle Box: Wuxing/Five Elements Set

So apparently the Fox, Turtle, Bee, Peacock and Butterfly are the Five Elements. Cool. Anyway, I have at present not decided on the wielders. Dex will maybe be the Fox wielder, but that's not solid at the moment. Solidly decided is Alden with the Butterfly and Della as an ex-Peacock. I do want to use this set ATP right now, though.

-Western Miracle Box: Western Zodiac

FINALLY THE POINT OF THIS POST. So! After staring at the Chinese Zodiac set way too fucking long I decided not to use it. Why? BECAUSE I CAN'T FIT THE CHARACTERS TO THEM. Using the Western Zodiac set, I'm basically making my own customizable to the characters. Yay! Besides, this *does* fit the context of this AU, as the Miraculous are scattered worldwide. The Western Zodiac set *may not* be full, though.

Currently decided/solid: go check the Tam post. Yes he's got Scorpio/Scorpion. Go reblog with whatever else you think everyone else should be.

That's all! I'm going to drink more coffee to get my anger-created headache worse now.
