have you ever gazed deeply into your blorbo's eyes across time and space? Well, I have.

I believe in Felix's supremacy✊🏼

He was cancelled because he was too powerful. Fight me, I think the original Felix(or Adrien, since he had this name in the bibles) is better than Adrien we have now. I love Felix in these two art styles

the felinette dynamic

[nuvolisa]

no because like

i love adrien, to death like i would jump off a cliff for him.

HOWEVER

the concept of pv felix? CHEFS FUCKING KISS.

adrien is a ray of sunshine, absolute ball of cotton candy despite being orphaned and suffering from the worst things possible. which is incredibly cute but also a bit unrealistic. i think anyone would become a little ficked up if they had to go through all that.

but pv felix? i can give him the worst of backgrounds and he will act accordingly! he can be a bit morally gray, you know? like, he’s not a snob, he just doesn’t like stupid people, absolute literature nerd, he’s the one who doesn’t drink coffee unless it’s unsweetened espresso. he’s the one to get drunk alone on white wine at the tender age of 15 while reading the picture of dorian gray. he’s the one who absolutely despises physical affection from others but melts at the thought of love. he rebels quietly, subtly. he doesn’t smile even when he’s happy, but his eyes lit up. he puts small poems in marinette’s locker because he will never have the courage to confess how he feels. he despises his father and is not afraid to say so. he stays stoic while saying shit that would put even god’s strongest soldiers in years of therapy. he has religious trauma. he selects carefully his friends. he doesn’t usually joke but when he does he surprises everyone so much that they all are mouth agape and don’t laugh. he psychanalises people he doesn’t like as if he’s freud’s little assistant and blackmails them for fun. people are scared of him and he uses that to his advantage. he would burn down a church for shits and giggles. he is the man. full stop.

anyways,

Well Felix Day？

Wow, what, is it today's birthday? Or is it the day pv was born, but all in all, it's a celebration!

I didn't have time to draw a picture or show the commission (because there must be an illustration with bridgette!). I'm gonna put a photoshopped image here to celebrate!

And put on an edit...

Felix's Automotivo Bibi Fogosa

[shihomouri22]

"I believe there's a hero in all of us. It gives us strength, makes us noble, keeps us honest, and, in the end, allows us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be strong and give up the thing we want the most." — Aunt May

When people think of Spider-Man and Miraculous, many associate Spider-Man with Ladybug. However, when I heard this phrase in my native language, I couldn't help but think it would fit Félix from the Miraculous PV. I imagine him somehow getting rid of his curse and finally being able to take off the ring, but not being able to put it back on. At first, he feels happy because he finally gets his life back without bad luck, but soon he realizes that this life doesn't make him happy. It's true that now he doesn't have to stay up all night chasing criminals or memorize cheesy pick-up lines and give roses to win Ladybug's heart in the hope that she will kiss him, but he also misses feeling the night breeze while patrolling. He liked discovering a side of himself he didn't know he had. He never thought he would have a group of friends (the Quamic Kids) with whom he could socialize freely, without being associated with his wealthy family. He didn't even think he could call Ladybug or Plagg his friends. The most important thing is that he never thought he would feel so good about caring for others and being needed by people, not just himself.

You know, I like the idea that, just like in the 2004 Spider-Man movie, Félix, even though he can't transform into Chat Noir, tries to rescue an elderly woman from a house that's on fire when he sees that the firefighters are taking too long and Ladybug and her team can't arrive in time because they are fighting a very strong akuma. I imagine Félix "borrowing" a motorcycle helmet and rushing without thinking to rescue the elderly woman. When they are both safe and talking, the topic of Chat Noir's disappearance comes up, and that's when the elderly woman says that phrase. That’s the last push Félix needs to seek out the guardian of the Miraculous and ask for help to become Chat Noir again.

Pre-canon Miraculous Ladybug~

Old concept art for references. (I know Richard (( pv Gabriel) had no Hawkmoth costume but still the concept art is amazing.) The pictures distinct from the style of the 2012 PV trailer.

[sizzleissues]

Can you draw Felix Agreste x Bridgette (Marinette) from "Ladybug PV" some romantic?

Here you go! I like the dynamic the PV pitched but I wouldn’t want it over our Adrienette but both is good. Make a second tv show with these guys

Astruc’s bullshittery: Debunking his tweets

Astruc’s tweets and claims about Felix is something I would never understand. He contradicts himself, for what? To make people hate Felix?

Case 1:

Sure he isn’t referring directly to this “version”. But when the PV was made, the concept of polar opposites was established, even shown through the early storyboards with Chat Noir presenting Ladybug with candles. It may not be a curse here yet, but it shows that Chat Noir was always meant to genuinely love Ladybug.

So it proves that the concept of Felix pretending to love Ladybug is a very “one-off” idea. Heck, even in the PV, you can see Felix being quite eager to transform. Does he look cursed to you?

Lastly, the existence of the 2012 bible is evidence that it’s possible to make Felix/ Chat Noir have an ulterior motive behind being flirtatious yet at the same time not moving away from his love for Ladybug.

Case 2:

In what way is this mysterious and evil? Again, even though Felix has the “Adrien” name in the bible, it’s obvious that Astruc is separating Felix (suit wearing, dark personality boy) with Adrien (the canon one).

It is true that Felix may be a bit evil, with that one singular image of him dropping an apple on Marinette’s head. But it’s a super early concept that isn’t present in the bibles (further supported by the fact they are shown to be able to use powers without transformation, and Felix being a pure misfortune manipulator.), meaning the idea didn’t reach that far into pre production.

That version of Felix is also shown more in Quantic Kids concepts, and even then, he was shown being slightly affectionate towards Marinette (cue that image of him smiling at her).

Instead of mysterious and evil, Felix had been long moulded more into someone who is driven, confident and dark (sarcastic). There’s way more art and descriptions depicting him that way.

Astruc even contradicts himself here when he says he cannot imagine Marinette liking Felix because it’s so clearly stated here why she does.

Not only that, Felix is written to have a soft side which he doesn’t show others. He even has fondness towards Marinette. But he doesn’t allow himself to fall in love. This means he actually sees himself falling for her if he gets distracted.

Overall, Felix might have underwent a very rough patch with him being mysterious and evil like what Astruc says (though in the fandom this version is often referred to as Nathan), but the development of his character shows that there was a lot of focus on improving Felix.

The time where Felix officially “became” Adrien is a few months after the earliest bible we have, where you can see the most changes being applied to the “Adrien” name. He doesn’t have a picture attached to the description (showing how they were still coming up with his design), he’s Papillon’s son, and has the goal of wanting to fit in rather than healing his leg. This is “Adrien” and no longer “Felix”.

Based on what Astruc said, he came up with “Adrien” because blah blah blah, but the Felix we’re seeing in the earliest bible is the same Felix he was dealing with before he came up with “Adrien”. Which, in my opinion, had quite a bit of depth to him that could be written well.

So is Astruc just straight up lying/ exaggerating Felix’s development and character in order to justify his decision to replace him with Adrien?

Adrien is significantly easier to write about as he’s more one dimensional, whereas Felix has a lot more inner conflict happening.

Maybe that’s why Astruc said: “Try writing Felix for 72 episodes”. He’s admitting to being a bad writer :/
