#miraculous ladybug: tales of ladybug and chat noir

[flycoffee]

Lila is way more sinister than Gabriel.

The way the new villian akumatises people is truly terrifying I mean Hawkmoth always convinced you to accept his power by talking you into it but they are literally pretending to her friend like they are sitting with her

and whispering into her ear

Basically what they are doing is Litterally convincing their victims into there side in the most unbelievable way ever

And then once they've got them in the palm of their hand

They close in around them

THEY LOOK SO CUTE TOGETHER!✨😭

[katadastical]

Criticism about the design aside I love Julekas new look because it reflects how she’s grown to become so much confident in herself

Her hair went from a tool she used to make herself invisible to something that’s a statement. She used to blend into the background but since becoming a holder, hanging out with the group, going out with Rose and trying to be a model she’s come of out her shell so much and now it’s the first thing you notice about her

Valentine's Marinette! Happy Valentine's Day <333

[nicoskun]

I love your art so amazing and talented. Could you do one of the whole family Gabriel, Nathalie, Adrien and there love child?

These two are married to their jobs, they've already buried Adrien in a recent revision..

I plan to post again on Friday, March 7th, at around 8:00 PM central time. While I do not want my work reposted, if you want, you may share my art or reblog it if you are on Tumblr.

I hope when Adrien gets upset post season 5 he brings up the footage of his dad acting like a butterfly during Simon says

Just going to put this out there, but I think Ray is the Revealator!!!!

He’s gonna reveal Zoe’s secret 📢

Hey there! Out of curiosity, are there any headcanons you have for Lila?

I have a few.

I believe that her Cerise identity is her real identity. She seems determined to protect it. At the end of season 5 she wears a disguise when she goes to steal the Butterfly Miraculous from Gabriel.

And in the London Special she takes precautions in the unlikely event that Ladybug de-akumatizes her.

2. I also believe that outside of her Lila identity, Cerise might be homeless(we almost always see her in her supervillain lair).

3. I also think that she likes to act, but she always turns down the change to act in school plays, to reduce the chance that her classmates will learn just how good of an actress she really is.

4. I also think that she's good at gymnastics, and she knows how to fight.

5. She actually likes Marinette's cooking.

Today is Valentine's Day, but it also marks one year since Miraculous Ladybug re-entered my life!

I discovered the show a bit before the English dub released back in 2015, watching it mainly in Korean with subtitles. It was so exciting seeing more and more people talk about this obscure little french cartoon once the dub came out!

But with increasing popularity came...other things. Art theft, harassment, young kids not really understanding how to behave in fandom spaces, and then Astruc himself replied sarcastically to a comment I'd made under one of his tweets (though in retrospect what he said was actually pretty funny). Then I had to end a really big friendship with someone I'd met because of the show, and I found myself in a weird position. Keep watching the show I loved, even though doing so made me uncomfortable due to those negative associations, or drop it entirely?

So I dropped it entirely. I put all the dolls and action figures somewhere I wouldn't be able to see them. Started a new account where I could engage with other fandoms. I stopped writing and reading Miraculous fanfic, stopped making Miraculous fanart, and forced myself to fixate on other things.

Years passed, and eventually, the thought of the show stopped making me feel so uncomfortable. I still couldn't bring myself to watch it, but I started a rewrite project, trying to fix the things I remembered not enjoying about the first two seasons of the show (which was all I'd seen at the time). I bought a couple of the new Miraculous dolls, super jealous that Kids These Days are getting so much better merch than I had when I was a fan of the show. Got some of the kwami blind bag kwami figures too, and I developed a habit of keeping one with me in my bag when I went to work.

That rewrite project never went very far, since I was hoping to do my own take on the episodes, and most of the episodes had become a distant memory by that point. In fairness, it had been like 6 years. I'd have to rewatch the show, and I still wasn't ready for that.

Then, on this day last year, something happened. I was staying at my parents house after an especially stressful work week, and I was browsing Netflix. And what would be on the front page, but Miraculous Ladybug: The Movie.

I had vivid memories of binging the show on Valentine's Day as a kid. I used to really associate the day with Marinette and Adrien, so Valentine's Day felt a bit like a nice opportunity to appreciate a ship that made me so happy.

So I watched the movie, justifying to myself that it wasn't like I was watching the show, it was just one movie and it would probably suck anyway.

But it didn't suck. It very much didn't suck. In fact, I LOVED it. It brought back so many memories, the love square was so sweet, the kwamis were such a cool idea, Hawkmoth was so fun, the akumas were so creative, Marinette and Adrien were so cute! It reminded of all the things I used to legitimately love about the show, rather than the stuff I didn't. When I was watching the movie, I wasn't thinking about that friendship that ended, or the art that got stolen. I was thinking about these kids, how much I loved them, and how much I loved their story. And I realised something that, in retrospect, should have been obvious.

It wasn't the SHOW that made me uncomfortable. It was my negative associations related to it. The show did nothing wrong, it was always fun and always made me happy. It was my bad experiences themselves that tainted it.

So I thought it over, and decided to continue the show from where I left off, even if the thought of doing so made me feel kind of sick and uncomfortable.

And I liked it. No, I didn't just like it-- I LOVED it. It was so fun?? And interesting??? And--wait oh my god is that PLOT?! Wait wait wait Marinette is overwhelmed???? I've felt like that!!! And--oh!!! Who is this Félix guy?? He's a reference to the pilot!! And he's so fun!! And Kagami? I remembered her being a boyfriend stealer but she's actually not at all and she's actually really sweet??? And Alya!!! Ride or die bestie Alya!!!

Needless to say, I couldn't stop watching after that. I binged seasons 3 and 4 in the span of I think two days, then immediately moved on to season 5, and I had a wonderful time. I was also a lot happier in general. It felt like I'd regained a part of myself that I'd lost, or rather, willingly left behind.

I know there's a lot of discourse online about whether or not the show is good, about if its even worth watching, but to me, that stuff sincerely doesn't matter. Miraculous Ladybug makes me very happy, which is why you'll never see me engage in Miraculous Ladybug salt discussions. I can critique it sometimes, but I've spent enough time looking down on this show. I'd rather love it for what it is and appreciate the joy it's always brought me.

So yes, today isn't just Valentine's Day. It's the anniversary of the day Miraculous Ladybug came back into my life, and the day I regained a piece of myself I'd long forgotten.

I loved the movie so much, I started binging Miraculous Ladybug for the first time in a long time, and I'm having a blast, so I wanted to draw something! It's actually based on a piece I drew in 2016 and then redrew in 2017. I think I've come a long way as an artist, and I'm so proud of the improvement!

Bug out!🐞
