In canon, a kwami's power must be used through a human wielding a miraculous, otherwise it'll have unforeseen consequences. So, in your AU, does Imago stealing Marinette's agonies cause any sort of trouble?

honestly the biggest unforeseen consequence is that this dude is around and being himself

no but for real, there should be a hypermassive consequence for a kwami unfettered peeking their head in, but there's not because of shit we'll get into later.

just consider it like this for the time being: now that Marinette is a sage and is capable of communing with the gods, she as a living being can be used as that intermediate conduit for power instead of the miraculous gems. If it was Tikki, for example, using her power raw with sage!Marinette, Mari would be able to access the power of creation or be swayed by it - however, it would put a massive strain on her, as she's not a miraculous but still capable of acting as that pipeline.

The reason Marinette has no ill effects from Imago, however, is because Imago is playing with a catch 22. Their purpose was to take agony away from Marinette, so even the exhaustion of accessing the unfettered power of a god was something he stole from her, so it seems like zero consequences have been had. In truth Imago is now SO tired holy moly and they DO NOT LIKE IT LMAO

#replies #we'll play with more gods later! it'll be great #sass will talk about how there's a reason people worshiped many gods back in the day #cuz back in the asscrack of time gods were capable of blessing people with their power. or cursing them #but they gave that shit up to become real when the first sage created the miraculous #so its not like Imago peeking their head in would've collapsed reality. gods used to do this crap all the time #but the doorways are almost rusted shut from lack of use; for lack of a better term #its only the fact that marinette is now accessible to the gods that let imago yank that janky door open #anyway don't think about it too hard. we're here to have fun after all
