#miraculous ladybug Nathaniel

[coffbeanie]

One of my biggest “what if” thoughts for miraculous ladybug is “what if the writers let Nathaniel be another love interest for Marinette even after Evillustrator?”

(I elaborate on this under the cut!!)

Just bc as someone who was in the fandom (and by that I mean I watched the show on YouTube and saw fanart via Pinterest and google images) like before season 2 but after season 1 ended, Nathaniel not only seemed to me like a well liked character, but there was also a good amount of fanart with him and Mari

I feel like he was kinda the go to for people who didn’t quite like him with Adrien (I always wondered why she didn’t just pick him-he seemed just as cute and as nice and he liked her back) and I also see him as that “Luka before Luka” as in he was another guy to ship Mari with, and they’re both kinda emo with the artsy vibe

I say this bc 1. I think it would have been interesting story wise and 2. As someone who was present when Nath as a fairly popular side character it’s sad to see him be neglected by the narrative

1. I’m not saying the writers should have scrapped Luka entirely and replaced him with Nath- obviously not Luka’s important to the story. I also understand that having too many love interests would have been difficult to tackle, but it would have been fun to see Nathaniel go “oh yeah I had a crush on you lmao kinda awkward it’s fine tho i’m trying to move on and I might be into ladybug now” and to them have Mari do a double take and be like “crap maybe I do like you a bit”

Also I think it would have provided interesting development for Mari to have Marc as a romantic rival-characters like Chloe, Lila, and Kagami (at least when she was first introduced) were all kinda put into a bad light, Chloe and Lila cause they were just mean and manipulative respectively, and Kagami cause she first came off as kinda mean and cold, giving Mari enough reason to dislike them and question whether they’re good for Adrien outside of also being jealous, but Marc wouldn’t be like that for Nath-he’s a quiet kid who seems nice enough, and he just writes fanfics, plays soccer, and doesn’t want to be bothered. If liked Nath enough, she would just have to accept that she’s feeling pure jealously cause you can’t really hate him for any other reason, also could have led to fun shenanigans to her trying to justify not liking Marc when she really can’t, she’s just mad cause he’s getting close to Nath

Also cause it would have been interesting to see Mari almost be rejected-maybe it’s just me but I could never really accept Kagami as a romantic rival cause they always portrayed Adrien as almost hesitant to get with Kagami, and his love for Ladybug would triumph over all(yeah they would do Chat getting over Ladybug for an episode it barely lasted) so I couldn’t see them actually being together and having the both of them be happy. Also Chloe and Lila weren’t fit for Adrien just cause they sucked

And for Luka he’s just like still there, and while he knows now that Mari and Adrien are made for each other before he had this “but I’ll still be here waiting for you if you need me :D” vibe

I think Mari being rejected by a character romantically if he was presented as a legit love interest would add more to that “just a normal girl with a normal life” cause we all don’t get what we want and people we like aren’t just going to stay waiting around for us-if Nath clicked with Marc more than he did with her than she would just have to deal with it, and seeing her deal with a still kinda hard (cause rejection is difficult) but realistic situation (something must of could relate to as it doesn’t relate to superhero-ing) would have been refreshing

2. I understand as I’m typing that I’m slightly biased towards Nath (were all the fanarts I saw as a kid really that popular? Or was I just being given Nathaniel centric art caused that’s what I looked up? I can’t remember honestly) but I’m still disappointed with how he was being pushed aside in the show, especially when-the character who would draw his superhero self insert at first denying a miraculous when presented one, and having to share his hero debut with three other people

(Penalteam could have worked if it was more Sabrina centric cause it’s hard to get out of a toxic friendship so yeah she would have gotten her miraculous last, because while getting away from Chloe definitely took her some time, ultimately she was still able to do it and become a hero, and what a better villain for her to fight than a whole bunch of Chloes; Ivan, Marc, and Nath should have gotten their own eps and I stand by this)

Idk as someone who got into the show bc of the Evillustrator episode, it’s just hard to see my fav boi be pushed to the side :((

If you read all the way to the end, thank you and pls share ur thoughts!!! Especially any Nathaniel fans wanna know if anything else has thought of this.

HUGE dump of a bunch of art from my au! A lot of stuff has to be redone (the classmates designs since I changed the time period, Lila's ENTIRE role in the AU, etc) but I'm still really proud of these drawings! Even if they're from a few years ago, they're dear to me :) gonna reblog with a comic i made around this time too! (Though the designs are outdated now)

[miraculous-metamorphosis]

Hello again, it's been a while! So, we managed to find another big find! What looks to be a screenshot of the synopsis of the series, as well as designs for the main characters and the miracuclass! We recognize some old faces here, but we see at least two new faces in the crowd!

We also found a season 1 sheet of all the characters, with their names too! Including superhero forms and the villain of the series!!

We'll keep you updated if we find more! Especially if there may be some season 2 designs ;)

(Inbox is open if you have any questions about our au!)

nah but like- celebrity gossip in paris be different: ”Dude, you know the guitarist from Kitty Section?” ”Luka Couffaine? Yeah, why” ”He’s going out with Adrien Agreste-“

“Wait, the Adrien Agreste? Like model and son of Gabriel Agreste, Agreste?!”

“Any other Adrien you know?” ”Sorry- hey wait a minute, wasn’t he dating that girl who was offered to intern for Audrey Bougeouis?” ”Marinette Dupain-Cheng? Yeah well turns out, she’s going out with World-Class Fencing Champion Kagami Tsurugi.” ”Well good for them- *phone pings* DUDE- YOU KNOW THOSE GUYS WHO MAKE THE MIRACULOUS LADYBUG WEBCOMICS?” ”Uh yeah?” ”They’re going out!!” ”I totally ship them!!” Edit cuz i thought of something really funny after reading @grabowskibeepboop’s reblog: ”DUDE-“ ”What?”

“LUKA’S CHEATING ON ADRIEN WITH CHAT NOIR”

Re-Verse Nathaniel, Marc and Alix! The three of them were part of Mylene and Ivan's resistence group, protesting against the Supreme's influence on the world before eventually joining Gabriel's resistence. These three are responsible for all the ominous graffiti that every dystopian setting needs. Character-wise, Marc and Nathaniel are pretty much the same as their canon counterparts, aside from Marc being a bit less reserved and meeting Nathaniel much earlier than canon Marc. Alix has a very personal reason for fighting the Supreme. Around two years ago, her dad was involved with their shady underground activities and attempted to steal the rabbit miraculous. The Supreme "made him disappear" which led Alix to investigate what her dad was up to. This is what eventually leads her and the rest of Mylene's group to find out about the Supreme and Gabriel's resistence. Her brother Alim didn't take their father's disappearance well and, similar to canon Alim in Reunuion, he fell down a bad internet hole of Supreme propaganda. Full lineup of Re-Verse designs below!

* one thing I did like in the finale was that Ivan was the first person akumatized, and back then the class seemed to be afraid of him when he got angry again.

* and now Ivan is the first person miraculized, and the class is there for him and they comfort him.

* also, Kim was the person who got Ivan akumatized the first time, and now Kim is the first person to try and get the alliance ring off and save Ivan.

* really shows how everyone’s grown over the 5 seasons

Part Five

It’s honestly insane how much rizz Marinette has. Btw, Chloe meant to change to her burner account. Ladybug panicked and went along with Alya, now everyone thinks Ladybug has a thing for Marinette. Oops.

Part Four / Part Six

Bonus:

She can’t stand the amount of simpery Marinette gets.

Drawing some of these characters has made me realize how weird some of their color schemes are.
