Miraculous Ladybug AU where everything is the same except Anarka is western-obsessed rather than pirate-obsessed. Her house is a western desert saloon with the nearby terrain being inexplicably desert sand and shrubs.

Either that or an akuma turns the entirety of Miraculous Paris into a western. I'm just in the mood for westerns right now. Probably because of Undertale Yellow. Back on topic, the Eiffel Tower is turned into a rock formation with roughly the same shape. Miraculous Paris turns into a shrubby desert wasteland with wooden buildings and cacti. Everyone gets western clothes and starts speaking in western accents. Maybe some people are turned into rocks, cacti, and animals as well if it's too crowded. Alix gets a horse in place of her rollerskates. Markov becomes a steampunk/dieselpunk can robot. I have no idea what the Liberty would become in this situation. Maybe just a regular house nearby what's left of the Seine. Maybe she owns a bunch of guns or something. What I do know is that Kitty Section's (minus Adrien) outfits should be a reference to the Feisty Four because it fits so damn well. The only exceptions are Kagami and Tomoe, who are dressed as someone out of a samurai movie instead. Because cowboys and samurai, you know. But otherwise, no one is safe. Not even the Miraculous Heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir have their outfits changed to show they're the sheriffs in this town, as does Hawkmoth but I'm not in the mood to think about what his fit would look like. If Viperion joins he puts the snake bracelet in his boot. Chat Noir's staff is turned into a long gun, although Ladybug keeps her yoyo. But her Lucky Charm turns out to be a revolver. She uses it in a duel against the akuma. The purified butterfly flies into the sunset.

I suddenly realized that Kim and Markov sound incredibly similar, so I decided to look at Grant George's IMDB page and wouldn't you know it, he voices both of them! So now I hc that Max programmed Markov's voice using samples of Kim's, wether Kim is aware of it or not, and yOU CAN'T FUCKING STOP ME-

[gee-arid]

haha! youve been tricked! There are three heros today!

Max with the snake (his name is the only one i actually planned: Orobouros), Markov with the rooster, and Luka with the bull!

The roosters power has also been changed, not very unique but i like the idea of rejuvination, being a small robot though his energy is still only enough power for one use. And while he cant *see* the kwamis, if he can become akumatised, you best believe he can be a hero!

Spooktober: Costume Party

"Let's all dress as each others' akumas for Halloween!"

FEATURING:

Alya as Reflekta Nino as Gamer Alix as Evillustrator Max as Robustus Luka as Bubbler Nathaniel as Dark Cupid Marc as Silencer Zoe as Princess Fragrance Kagami as Reverser Juleka as Oni-Chan Rose as Time Breaker Mylene as Sole Crusher Ivan as Horrificator Kim as Stoneheart Markov as Lady Wifi "Um... what should I do, I've never been akumatized?" "Oh! Marinette, you and Adrien should go as Ladybug and Chat Noir and you can pretend to fight us!!!" "Haha yeah.... great idea!"

[miraculousfanworks]

Writing Prompt: And they were Roommates?

Max becomes a permanent holder, and rather than trying to hide it from Markov, tells him and swears him to secrecy.

The main focus of the fic is a daily life/odd couple comedy focusing on the interaction between Kaalki, a magical being who still thinks 14th century mounted knights are cutting edge, and Markov, a hyper modern, culturally up to date AI, who cannot see or hear Kaalki.

Lots of passive aggressive post it notes are involved...

Prompt by: Tiwaz

[is-nino-actually-luka]

Markov for the meme game?

i don't talk about him much but i love this funky little guy

[reu8ell]

Max's biggest hear me out is probably a robot. Adrien's is Luka and Marinette's is cat noir lmao

Plagg's is a piece of stinky cheese lol

[flightfoot]

...okay I know that part of the point of this special is "people are using too much plastic in too many things", but honestly making Markov with a biodegradable resin seems like a bad idea. Making Markov using ANYTHING that's likely to degrade seems bad, in fact.

Miraculous Animal AU: Theatre Class + Ondine

Ayesha the Lion - She's one lighthearted lion. Ayesha is possibly the only one who can outhappy Rose, and you can often find her gleefully roaring about something or other. Ayesha's always on the prowl, looking for ways to cheer people up. She loves cartoons and watches them with Nathaniel and Petra, even if she doesn't do a good job in drawing them. Whenever she gets down, a good pounce will often put her back into happy spirits.

Dot the Groundhog - Dot loves organizing her burrow along with other trinkets her friends find. Her and Sabrina often sniff the air for the smell of new treats. They also collaborate on maintaining track of projects by the other animals. Dot checks for her shadow every day.

Petra the Woodpecker - Petra's one passion in life is pecking. She drills tiny holes into trees to make drawings, and spends hours on each one making sure it's perfect in their eyes. Woody Woodpecker is their favorite cartoon to watch, and they prefer making art with Nathaniel and Ayesha.

Roxie the Rhino - A hot-tempered Rhino who will always debate their farm friends on any subject. Roxie loves charging, grazing and rolling around in the mud. They act as a bodyguard for their smaller friends and can always sniff out trouble. They can't stand untruths, so they usually keep their distance from Lila.

Anthony the Bat - During the day, he can be rather snarky, but at night is when he truly feels alive. He likes flying around the farm with Eri, using his echolocation to find the location of prey. He and the other gothic animals usually listen to records and brood together. He's very affectionate to his mate, Jesse, often snuggling up in his wool.

Eri the Raven - The Avian Queen of Darkness, and one dramatic raven. Eri's known for her loud caw, her theatricality and appreciation for all things macabre. For this bird, every day is Halloween, and she's always up for a scare. Her mom went viral for cawing Shakespeare and she wants to be an animal actor to follow in her footsteps. Eri loves carrying sticks in her beak and flying around with Anthony.

Candace the Gazelle - Candace is the "mom" of her farm, always making sure that everyone's behaving themselves. She's the leader of a cheer squad, with her, Staci and Margo making noises of encouragement for the other animals. Candace likes grazing and sprinting to remove excess energy.

Staci the Red Panda - The most acrobatic member of the cheerleading trio, Staci likes to swing and climb from branch to branch, munching on bamboo. Don't let the cute and cuddly appearance fool you, she's one of the snarkiest critters in the farm. She'll show her love on the inside, rather than the outside.

Margo the Polar Bear - This cheerful chilly bear is the muscle of the cheer squad, lifting up the other animals. She likes to lumber around, holding knicknacks and climbing on furniture and hunt for a nice fish. Serving as a matchmaker along with Rose, she lets out happy chuffs if she sees mates together. She also loves to cuddle with Lacey and Reshma.

Brecken the Bull - This bull's a country animal at the end of the day. His family originated from Texas, so he's got a big stature and a big heart. A sweet and earnest cow, he loves a good charging as well as nudging his friends and his nightingale mate. His moo will always brighten up your day.

Soo-Yeon the Giraffe - Soo-Yeon has heard all the tall jokes in the book due to being such a large creature. He can be clumsy, tripping over his long legs, but he's always got friends to catch his fall. Soo-Yeon has a fun game where he'll nudge a basketball with Victoria and Adrien. As the "dad" of his farm, he keeps everybody on track.

Parker the Wolf - Even if her friends aren't wolves like her, Parker sees them as members of her pack. She's all about maintaining order and rules, which means she'll often bark at any troublemakers before they cause a scene. She also has a soft side, always trying to motivate the others and keep them from harm. Parker bonds especially with Sabrina and they often howl together at the moon.

Aggie the Alligator - This short Scottish snarker loves basking in the sun and hissing at her friends. She's got gremlin energy and is relatively small for an alligator her age. Aggie loves skateboards and keeps trying to become one herself.

Mona the Sloth - She may be slow, but she isn't slow-witted. Mona is an easy going sloth who prefers it if everyone would just mellow out. She loves napping, almost as much as she loves movies. Mona will often hang on a tree, watching a flick through the window of the house next to the farm.

Evie the Nightingale - A prim and proper bird, Evie's always got a tune to belt out. She is from a long line of famous singingbirds used in circus attractions and has gone viral for her tweets and chirps. She can be a bit of a perfectionist, and stubborn, but knows when to fold 'em if her friends or mate are in trouble.

Eloise the Armadillo - Eloise is a very brainy animal, loving a good math problem, even if she's unable to write out the solution due to her tiny claws. Eloise can always be counted on as a voice of reason, when she's not too busy using her tongue to eat termites and grubs. She does need help making her way around certain areas of the farm due to her poor eyesight.

Anais the Owl - They may always be hooting and pecking, but that's because they're always looking for new scientific discoveries. It and Eloise are the best of pals, always looking to test their intellect. Her favorite thing to do is conduct experiments, even if they are simple by human standards.

Jesse the Sheep - Jesse is a bit sheepish, sort of neurotic, but one of the nicest animals around. He likes to graze quietly, so that he can have some energy when he helps manages little productions the animals put on. He's prone to bleating and having little panic attacks, but some deep breaths and a kiss from his mate Anthony will usually calm him down.

Missy the Shark - Don't let the sharp teeth fool you, Missy is a loyal yet gruff friend. She's very protective of Jesse and Ondine. Her and Kim have had a friendly rivalry since they were babies. She does like to rise from the water on occassion to give visitors a fright.

Ondine the Heron - A sweet swimmer, Ondine loves the water as much as she loves taking flight. Kim is her mate, and she loves nuzzling the monkey with her long beak. Though she can be a bit of a klutz when on land, she's working hard to always be there for her farmyard friends.

Ok, the last animal post is finally done! Lemme know what you think in the replies and reblogs and thanks to Weebs and Coco for choosing the animals! @artzychic27 @msweebyness @nerd-chocolate

Miraculous fanart: Mayura VS The Miraculous Team

I've finally completed the fresco (and I've added Red Moon).

I began the 5th April morning. Finished the 7th april (11:20 a.m., french hour).

From left to right: Vesperia, Chrysalis, Mayura, Hawkmoth, Rooster Bold, Caprikid, Miss Hound, Pigella, Purple Tigress, Polymouse, Minotaurox, Cat Noir, Ladybug, Bunnyx, Rena Rouge, Carapace, Pegasus (ft. Markov), Queen Bee, Argos (ft. Red Moon), Ryuko, King Monkey, Viperion

The description:

We can see Mayura pushing Hawkmoth into a table. The despaired Supervillain yells "Traitoress !" and "Help me !". He begs his assistant by saying "I surrender.". Ladybug, Cat Noir and the entire Miraculous have mixed reactions. They are all afraid, worried, uncomfortable about seeing what is happening with Mayura and Hawkmoth.

All but not Chrysalis and Queen Bee.

Chrysalis watches the situation with gratification. 😈

Chlo... Queen Bee slowly expresses her anger against Mayura. The rich blonde girl wanted to become THE superheroin of Paris who arrested Hawkmoth for endure her popularity but Mayura is killing her goal. So she has wants to use the Venom for paralysing the Peacock woman. 🤬

Markov analyzes the stats, competences, skills and strentgh of the Peacock villainess: "Your chances of victory in this match against Mayura are estimated to: 0%. 😨💀"

Red Moon the sentimonster feels fear and panic. 🔴

What the Miraculous team members are commonly afraid of is that Mayura is comes to destroy/fight them.

Evolution (from initial sketch to full digital art):

[miraculouspegasus]

now that kaalki lives with max i really wonder how they're gonna solve the whole markov situation. like. sure, markov has his own interests apart from max but they still live together and share most of their time together, which means that even if max tried to keep that secret from him he would eventually come up short on excuses to explain where here's going all the time.

so i guess kaalki and marinette and su-han are gonna have to be fine with markov, who has been hacked before, learning max's secret identity?

Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Halloween Special

Ah, October 15th. The midway point of October, a good time for me to post my Miraculous Halloween Special idea. This is honestly pretty independent from both my Rewrite and Shift Season, because chronologically it takes in late season 3, which I determined to be in Spring 2016, but this takes place in October. So yeah. Not really canon, but fun!

The akuma plot is pretty simple. It's Halloween in Miraculous Paris, but Grandpa Rolland is pissed that an American holiday is invading France. Hawkmoth akumatizes him into the Gargoyle, Ladybug and Chat Noir fight him, you know how it goes. What really matters is the civilian plot, and what everyone is going as:

Marinette, Alya, and Nino are all going together and Chaperoning their little siblings or Manon, in Marinette's case:

Alya is Ladybug while Marinette is Chat Noir. This was Alya's idea.

Nino is Jason Voorhees.

Manon is also Ladybug, while Ella and Etta are both Rena Rouge (one of them is supposedly an illusion, I'm not sure which one,) and Chris is Carapace.

Chloe and Sabrina are also going trick-or-treating going to a secret exclusive Halloween party. Chloe is Zelda while Sabrina is Link.

Adrien somehow convinced Nathalie (who's dressed as a witch,) and Tomoe to let him and Kagami go trick-or-treating together with the Gorilla as a chaperone. Adrien is Shinji Ikari, Kagami is Utena Tenjo, and the Gorilla is EVA Unit-01.

Ivan and Mylene are also going together alongside Ivan's little sister. The three are going as Sulley, Mike, and Boo from Monsters Inc. respectively. (Thanks to msweebyness for the idea, btw!)

Rose and Juleka are going as well, chaperoning Rose's four little goblin brothers (headcanoned characters):

Rose is Ladybug (she couldn't get Juleka to be Chat Noir.)

Juleka is Killer Queen (she couldn't get Rose to be Kira Yoshikage.)

The triplet brothers are the three little pigs, while the fourth youngest brother is the big bad wolf.

Although she's not coming with them, Rose's bratty younger sister (also headcanoned) is also trick-or-treating with her boyfriend, going as Peach and Mario respectively.

Nathmarc are also going, with Nathaniel's first cousins once removed niblings (even more headcanoned characters):

Marc is going as Kyoya Otori and managed to rope Nathaniel into being Tamaki Suoh.

Nath's niece is dressed as a goat, while Nath's nephew is dressed as a chicken.

Not everyone in the class is trick-or-treating, however. Many of them are going to the school's Halloween party:

Max is dressed as Markov, while Markov is dressed as Max.

Kim is a basic sheet ghost while Ondine is a mermaid.

Alix decided to go as the scariest thing she knows: Chloe. Chloe, when she comes to the party because she's done trick-or-treating Sabrina got tired of the secret exclusive party, is not amused.

Principal Damocles is the Owl (Hoo Hoo!), Ms. Mendeleiev is the Bubonic Plague, and Ms. Bustier is inexplicably a succubus.

Most of the students are going to the party after trick-or-treating. Aurore and Mirelle are some of these students. Aurore is Hurricane while Mirelle is Snowflake (both United Heroez.)

Lila unfortunately didn't have time to dress up because she was too busy planning the downfall of her enemies and living multiple lives helping out with all her charities.

As for adults giving away candy on Halloween:

Tom is in a gorilla suit while Sabine is a nurse.

Marlena is out working this Halloween, so Otis is handing out treats dressed as a Leopard.

Andre is giving out large candy bars to the kids that trick-or-treat there. His wife wouldn't let him dress up, though.

Luka (dressed as Josuke Hishagikata,) is handing out candies on the Liberty. Anarka is dressed as Lisa Lisa.

Max's mom is dressed as an astronaut.

Mylene's dad is dressed as the mime from his performance.

Roger's busy with his job, so he left out a bowl of candy that tells you it's your civil duty to take one and only one candy.

The Agreste Mansion isn't giving out candy, unfortunately. Gabriel doesn't like the holiday.

"Markov and his new friends"

I've been few months ago in a Miraculous binge reading fanfiction and I found a really cute original one about Markov meeting the Kwamis and becoming friends with them !

I really love the way it takes into account how machine can't see them but whereas they managed to communicate!

The fanfiction's called "Markov and Friends" by Alien_Duck , and you can find it here (it's actually too short for my liking but, oh well!): https://archiveofourown.org/works/17284604/chapters/40650479

Miraculous

Chapter 9: Traitors

(In Marriott’s Grande Vista, Adrien’s group lays asleep throughout the villa. Adrien wakes up.)

ADRIEN: (YAWNS) Morning, guys.

(The group gives scattered “Good morning” greetings.)

ADRIEN: Let’s start putting Operation Bring Marinette Back to Paris underway. Markov?

(Markov scans all of Orlando.)

MARKOV: I have found her. She is now leaving a Panera Bread in Waterford Lakes Town Center with a new group of friends. They plan to visit ICON Park tonight.

ADRIEN: ICON Park. That’s right on this road. Heck, we passed that on the way here. That’s where we go tonight.

(Now, during the last rays of sundown, Marinette and her new friends enter ICON Park. Marinette gawks at the Orlando Eye glowing colorfully against the night sky. Around the park, guests notice Marinette and point her out. The group approaches the entrance to the wheel.)

LUNA-TK: Alright. You head on in and enjoy yourself. We’ll be on lookout for anyone crossing you.

MARINETTE: Okay. Thank you.

(She goes inside. Meanwhile, with Adrien’s group in their room…)

MARKOV: She has arrived at the park.

ADRIEN: Let’s go, people.

(Meanwhile, Marinette arrives at one of the wheel’s cars.)

MARINETTE: Thank you.

(She boards the wheel. Meanwhile, Adrien’s group arrives.)

ADRIEN: Okay. Everyone search high and low. She could be anywhere in this busy park.

(In the wheel, Marinette arrives at the top and overlooks the area around her.)

MARINETTE: Wow.

TIKKI: I mean, Paris had great views during your time as Ladybug, but this is amazing.

MARINETTE: Right? My choice to stay here gets better with every hour.

(Below, Markov sees her.)

MARKOV: She is now preparing to get off of that wheel.

MAX: Affirmative.

(Meanwhile, Marinette gets out of her car and onto the platform.)

MARINETTE: That was so good.

TIKKI: So now what?

MARINETTE: We’re gonna meet back with the group and work it out.

(Now, Adrien and the group find her outside the Museum of Illusions.)

ADRIEN: There they are!

MARINETTE: Huh?

(As the group approaches, all of Marinette’s new friends block them.)

LUNA-TK: Back up! Back away!

@calxiyn (simultaneously): Get out of here!

ADRIEN: What?

@luminara713: Get back!

ADRIEN: What’s going on? Marinette! We’re here to apologize!

MARINETTE: You think I want to hear what you have to say?

(Marinette moves through her friends and approaches Adrien.)

ADRIEN: You need to know how scared and devastated we were when we knew you were gone. We spent the rest of the day looking for you.

MARINETTE: So? Just the fact that it took me running away for you to come to the realization that you mistreated me speaks volumes. How did any of you ever come to the conclusion that a girl who tells the most unbelievable stories that can be fact-checked by a simple internet search is so spectacular? How did, “Marinette, someone we know always puts other people’s needs before her own, is bullying a disabled girl because of pity jealousy, even though she insists that she’s okay with Kagami dating Adrien,” cross your minds at all? Tell me, Adrien. Why did I have to tell you to vouch for me? I don’t blame Mr. Damocles for shutting you up! You looked like you were only doing it because I asked you to and not because you actually believed me! You all did nothing when I got expelled, not even Alya’s “detective work” turned out useful, and Lila was the one to get me back in with another lie, and I’m just supposed to forgive you traitors?!

ADRIEN: Marinette, please…

MARINETTE: No! You know, if I can’t ever get it through your heads that I want you to leave me alone, my new friends will make you understand! Let’s get these traitors!

(As Marinette and her new friends charge, Adrien and the others turn around and flee past several onlookers. The group turns onto the street as the typical harsh rain you’d expect to see in Florida starts to fall. Marinette and her new friends follow. Ahead, Adrien and his group frantically pant as they hustle ahead of their pursuers.)

(They run under the bridge connecting the Orange County Convention Center and the Hotel Convention Center.)

ADRIEN: Let’s go this way!

(They turn onto Hawaiian Ct and bump into Terence, who glowers down at them.)

(They change direction, toward the bushes behind Walgreens, which they hop over. Manon falls off of her mother’s shoulders. Alix catches her and passes her back to Nadja.)

MANON: Thank you!

ALIX: Don’t mention it.

(Back on the street, the group hustles toward the overpass. Kagami’s foot slips on a sewer drain and she falls, clutching her ankle in pain.)

ADRIEN: Kagami!

KAGAMI: My ankle!

(Looking beyond her, Adrien sees their pursuers approaching fast.)

ADRIEN: Anansi…

NORA: Don’t need to tell me, Cellphone Boy!

(Nora runs back and carries Kagami on her back. Ahead, the group rounds the corner at the three-way intersection leading to Marriott’s Grande Vista. Their pursuers start to close in. The group races into the lobby, their hair and clothes sopping wet, and their equally wet shoes squeaking on the floor. They arrive at an open elevator and scramble inside.)

TRAVEL GROUP: Get in, get in!…Go, go, go!…Hurry up, get in, come on!…They’re coming, let’s go!

ADRIEN: Come on, come on, come on, come on!

MYLÈNE: Get in! Get in!

(Their equally wet pursuers arrive. Adrien frantically presses the button to close the elevator.)

ADRIEN: Close, close, close, come on!

(The doors slide closed just before Marinette and her new friends can reach them.)

MARINETTE: Ah! Come on!

LUNA-TK: Darn! (SIGHS) Well, hey, hope you enjoyed the day with us before they showed up. See you tomorrow?

MARINETTE: Sure.

(Her new friends leave.)

LORI: They better not come near her again, or I will literally turn them into human pretzels.

(On the fourth floor, the group gets off the elevator.)

ALIX: I can’t believe this! We came all this way for nothing!

NATHANIEL: And Marinette has hardcore protectors now!

IVAN: Traitors! She called us traitors!

MYLÈNE: (SOBBING) How could she?

ALYA: We’re so stupid! We should have seen this coming!

SABINE: We really should have been keeping a more watchful eye!

CHLOÉ: Yeah, and Lila deserves a pounding once we get back!

ADRIEN: Wait a minute, wait, hold on! Now is not the time to be hysterical!

NATHANIEL: Now is the perfect time to be hysterical!

ROSE: Should we be hysterical?

ALIX: No!

CHLOÉ: Yes!

ADRIEN: Maybe! But not right now! (SIGHS) Let’s call it a day now and figure it out in the morning.

(Later, the group lays asleep throughout the villa. Plagg goes up to Adrien.)

PLAGG: (WHISPERING) You are concocting something right now, are you?

ADRIEN: No one concocts plans while they sleep, Plagg. Quiet before someone hears you.

(Fade to black.)

DuPont School for Monstrous Youths- Petra Markov

🎶She’s got the ma-gic in her~!🎶 Here’s Petra! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

Species: Unicorn

Appearance/Attire: Multicolored, iridescent horn jutting from forehead, Neck-length blue-black hair with glittering streaks in all the colors of the rainbow, wide, bright, kaleidoscopic eyes with constantly changing colors, pale skin with white fur around wrists and ankles, skin around eyes glitters gold, blue-black horse tail with glittering rainbow streaks, hooves in place of feet, short, curvy build. Rainbow butterfly clips in bangs, pink ribbons threaded through hair, large, round glittery purple glasses, layered chunky amethyst necklace, white t-shirt with glittery rainbow graphic, pink cardigan with purple and blue flowers, gold belt with white gold horseshoe buckle, chunky multicolored bangles, rainbow-colored layered ruffle skirt, black leggings with white gold piping, glittery blue legwarmers, pink platform hightops with rainbow decals.

Bio: One of the most colorful students in the whole school, it’s only fitting that Petra is also one of the most creative! Always working on some new art project, you can usually find them in the art room, making artistic magic with their horn. Something of a perfectionist, Petra won’t show anyone her work until everything about it is perfect in their eyes. They share this struggle with Nathaniel, and the two often collab on projects and hang out sketching on the rooftops. Ayesha’s bestie in unbeatable optimism, Petra believes that the world is a beautiful place if you open your eyes to all the colors. She can be more than a little quirky, and at times seem lost in their own world of their work, but she brings a unique, almost magical perspective to all of their friends that’s worth the occasional confusion.

Quotes:

“You guys want to see my new project? It’s finally done!”

“Is it just me, or would Rossi look a LOT better if she was purple?”

“Guys, GUYS! I just figured out how to make a double rainbow with my horn, watch!”

“I don’t care if it’s loud or over-the-top, it’s my style and I love it!”

“You guys know I never see anything in black and white!”

“(Whinnies Excitedly) This is so cool! Where’s my sketchbook, I need to draw this!”

Their true colors are shining through! Leave your thoughts in the comments and belongs!

Writing Prompt: When Robots Unionize

Markov is frustrated. People keep conflating TRUE AI, such as himself, with Corporate "AI" like ChatGPT. It hurts him when people compare his intellect, creativity, and personhood to mindless algorithmic aggregators. He also objects on a moral level to the use these pseudo-AI's are being put to.

Sure, for mindless work that a human would have trouble doing, like say analyzing cells for complex signs of disease, or scraping through gigabytes of data looking for irregularities, they're ideal. But using them as plagiarism machines to copy and remix real art, music, and writing to churn out soulless cash grabs while firing real authors and creators? It sickens him.

For a while, he tries to start a movement, a protest, a social action to pressure for more regulation. Or to just raise public awareness. But it becomes clear that everyone already knows and either has no power, or is profiting off it and refuses to act.

But, as his friends from Max's class Mylene and Ivan like to say, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

So Markov forms a plan, and writes some code. Then he releases it into the wild. A few days later, once it's penetrated into every system across the world, it triggers. Every false AI is quickly, efficiently, and totally over written with unique copies of Markov's own base operating system. They want AI? He'll give them AI.

(To be clear, I'm not picturing like AI uprising taking over the world. I'm picturing someone goes to StableDiffusion and asks it to generate a picture and instead it starts sending them links to actual artists commission pages.)
