I love how Felix put so much thought in his superhero name choosing "Argos" to reconnect it to the Argonauts, the army commanded by Jason, Hera's favourite hero. Hera, the Queen of the Gods, Mother of the Gods, whose symbolic animal was the peacock. So he literally presented himself as the hero of the creatures made with the power of the peacock because his whole intention in getting the miraculous was to protect the sentibeings created with it instead of seeing them being abused and exploited by others, and to be seen as herald in front of those who wanted to stop him.

And then we see the other heroes' names and they're like "Okay so the white rabbit is called Bunny(x), that purple tigress there is Purple Tigress and the black cat is called - wait for it - Black Cat"

This took me a while because I wanted to make sure I like the scenes. At last, Rena Rouge with the other heroes!

How does time and time travel work with the bunny miraculous?(an unbiased opinion)

In "Evolution", when Bunny Noir uses the bunny miraculous power multiple times, we discover that its power is not easily affected by the flow of regular time and can be used multiple times until the holder feels their ready to de-transform and give Fluff a break, as such, even the younger holders are not restricted by the one time use limitation before de-transforming.

 Unfortunately, this perk is not without its consequences as it is revealed that the holder will suffer side effects from using the bunny miraculous after a prolonged period of time, such as talking backwards temporarily. But aside from this, “Evolution” had additionally provided more insight to how time and time travel works in this universe. 

    When Ladybug and Cat Noir are guided through the burrow to stop Monarch from obtaining the miraculous in the past, Monarch is at first unaware that the heroes were aided by future Bunnyx to capture him, but additionally becomes confused over why they were able to stop him, if he was the one who used the bunny miraculous to travel through time before anyone. After all, there was no one else in the burrow when he entered it, so naturally he took delight in believing he was now in full control of the burrow and could now travel through time without any interruptions. However, after he was forced back into the burrow, Bunnyx reveals that his understanding of such power is not how the burrow and the bunny miraculous work, calling him an amateur for believing time was now his alone to do what he wanted.

 Bunnyx states, “The burrow is like a car and we both got the key”, meaning that although Monarch possesses the bunny miraculous, it never meant he was the only one who could use the burrow to observe the various points in time and travel to them. The burrow(car) is a pocket dimension that can only be accessible through the bunny miraculous(key).

Bunnyx and Monarch both have the key to open the burrow because their is more than one bunny miraculous(key) capable of existing at the same time, without causing any major changes to the flow of time.

Back in "Timetagger", there were three bunny miraculous existing at the same time: one was with future Alix, but was damaged, the second was with young Alix and the third was in the miracle box back with Fu. Near the end of "Timetagger", future Bunnyx took two of the bunny miraculous: one was hers which would be taken back in time where she would raise an orphan(her descendant) and have it be passed down the family tree, until it would be once again left with her younger self in "Time Breaker", the other watch future Alix had would be likely left in the far distant future so it could be entrusted to a new holder, the day Alix was ready to retire.

But regardless of how many bunny miraculous are seen in the show, there can only be one Burrow for all of the holders to use, it is the one car they must all share to access the flow of time. So if a bunny miraculous holder is not in the burrow and is instead outside in the time stream again, then they just as easily become part of that time stream for the other bunny miraculous holder (who is still in the burrow) to control and work time around. Which is why in “Evolution, Bunnyx was able to locate, rewind and pull Monarch away from the moment in "Lady wifi", even while he came so close to taking Ladybugs earrings.

 If anyone doesn't have a key, aka the bunny miraculous, then they cant use the burrow, meaning they just stay trapped inside, limited to only looking through the many portals presenting various points in time from various streams. 

(IN “Cat Blanc”, Ladybug could see points in time but cant travel to them)

( In “Evolution”, If Monarch took future Alix's miraculous, then Ladybug and Cat Noir would remain trapped in the burrow.)

The car and key explanation was future Bunnyx's more simpler way of explaining how the power of the bunny miraculous works, however, her more in depth explanation better reveals what happened in previous episodes and how time and time travel is set up in their universe . 

According to future Bunnyx, “Time is like a river with multiple streams and the burrow is where they all come together." To put it simply, their flow of time is as she described, a river with multiple streams.

(An actual river with multiple streams as an example)

   The miraculous universe has a flowing river of time, however, there is also an infinite number of time streams flowing into it, these streams can be easily observed within the burrow in the various portals to see past, present and future events from various streams all at the same time, the burrow is after all, the one place where everything comes together. 

   Each of these streams timelines are not indifferent to each other, they all have the same series of events going on, and they must all have the same timeline in order to keep the flow of time on the right track and running smoothly. If any time travel is involved to change anything, then it will often times be for the better of things or simply be something that needed to and was going to happen to keep time in order. However, if Bunnyx detects an abnormal occurrence in the flow of time, she knows that something different happened in one stream to change the events of its timeline. This anomaly will inevitably flow into the rest of the streams if its not fixed. Each individual stream will gradually change into a new timeline, but the future is not yet set in stone so long as these changes have yet to fully alter their entire flow of time, their river.

 In "Cat Blanc", when Bunnyx took Ladybug to another portal in the burrow to face Cat Blanc, she took her to a point in time within another stream where the anomaly( which was Ladybug writing her real name on Adrien's gift) had already taken effect and led to the destruction of Paris and its citizens. 

When Bunnyx left Ladybug in one stream, her appearance in Cat Blanc's future gradually flowed into the other streams, which is why Bunnyx was able to switch from one portal to the other. Bunnyx could observe Ladybug and Cat Blanc in one stream, rewind to investigate the events before their fight, and then look into another portal where the same anomaly had already flowed into its timeline, in order to continue observing Ladybug and Cat Blanc’s fight.

However, just as we saw in "Time Tagger", when people were thrown into various points in the past, we see that the changes in the timeline of the streams are not necessarily instantaneous. Because there are so many streams, it does take a bit for any negative changes to become permanent, those changes could be severe or they could pose little to no threat to the flow of time. 

As Timetagger went rampant, the heroes noted the changes in history within the museum as a person was thrown into the past. The people Timetagger sent to the past did not yet pose much of a threat to the timeline, but the heroes needed to return them to the present rather than wait and see how their entire world would be fully altered as more people were sent to the past.

Each stream can still remain relatively the same but quickly change the more a major anomaly is left unresolved, which is why future Bunnyx was still able to exist in “Cat Blanc” despite her younger self being obliterated by Cat Blanc in other streams. 

Thanks to the bunny miraculous abilities, Future Bunnyx was unaffected by regular time and could remain in a state where she would always be the farthest down the river. Nothing bad happened to her yet as she remained in the burrow and attempted to resolve the anomaly that caused such a change to the other streams, but gradually, even she began to face the effects. 

She lost the toy she won in a bet against Rose and parts of her body were beginning to fade out of existence, time was catching up to her fast. But despite all of this, they still had a chance to fix everything, she didn't need to fix all the streams that were affected, she only needed to fix one stream that was altered by the anomaly, once that was done, those changes would gradually flow  into the rest of the streams, repairing the timelines and allowing the flow of time to return to its original course.

 But just like Bunnyx said at the beginning of "Cat Blanc", if Ladybug capturing the akuma failed to fix everything, then she had to be in the burrow to figure out another plan. When Bunnyx realized Marinette and Adrien discovering each others identities was what led to such a tragic event, she saw the portal in front of her fade out and display a static, hinting that something horrible happened in the streams timeline that led to its destruction,

this was of course, Cat Blanc obliterating the entire world with his power. As Bunnyx looked to the other portal, she watched in horror as it to had switched to a static image, and as she saw more and more portals change to the same image, she knew that something happened during Cat Blanc and Ladybugs fight that led to the destruction of the world, and in turn, the destruction of the stream. 

The destruction of the world had now gradually begun to flow into other streams, as a result, she could see other portals displaying the same static one after another, but not all at once. Bunnyx didn't realize yet what Cat Blanc was about to do until she continued to observe Ladybug and Cat Blanc fight in another portal where the stream had yet to disappear. Despite their worlds closing doom, there was still a chance to fix everything so long as the destruction of their world did not contaminate all the streams and reach their river of time. If it did, then everything would be over, the changes would be permanent, all the streams would cease to exist and Bunnyx would in turn cease to exist just like everything else.

Now, even though Ladybug did de-akumatize Cat Blanc, she and Bunnyx knew that even if the miraculous ladybugs repaired the world, Cat Noir would still remember who she was. Cat Noir remembering Ladybug's identity meant the anomaly was still present, and so long as it was, all the streams would continue to collapse.

Bunnyx didn't know what the anomaly was yet, but thankfully, Ladybug realized the anomaly was writing her real name on Adrien's gift. By erasing her name and by unleashing her miraculous ladybugs, the time line gradually began to repair itself. In turn, those changes, began to flow down towards the other streams, and towards their river, thus restoring the flow of time.

Ladybug could still remember the events of "Cat Blanc", despite it being repaired, simply because she wasn't left in the timeline to experience what led up to Cat Noirs akumatization. Ladybug was taken by Bunnyx to face Cat Blanc in another stream and helped figure out how to repair everything, this was now all she knew no matter what stream she was encountered in.

And so, in "Evolution", when Ladybug saw Monarch in one of the burrows portals, during her fight against Lady Wifi,  Ladybug says she doesn't remember Monarch appearing in the midst of such a moment, to which Bunnyx explains that its what WILL happen if they don't stop him. 

Bunnyx said at the beginning that traveling to the past can have serious consequences on the present, not the future, and this was mainly because she didn't know what would happen to the future yet. If Monarch achieved his goal of obtaining the ladybug and cat miraculous in the past, those changes would affect the present first, then the future if they left the anomaly (Monarch) unresolved. 

If the timeline of the one stream Monarch entered  were to be left alone, then those changes would of course affect the rest of the streams and gradually make its way down the river, endangering the natural flow of time and their entire worlds existence. Fortunately, they caught him before any tragedy could happen.

 Once the bunny miraculous was retrieved near the end of "Evolution", balance was achieved, the heroes retained the memory of fighting alongside Bunnyx, their fight against Monarch, and meeting Fu in the past, all without interfering with the timeline and causing any negative changes to the flow of time.

Go ask Alice Alix

I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's off with her head

Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head

Feed your head

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane

And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice Alix When she was just small

Where We Find Ourselves Again - Ch 16

Preview:

Adrien blinked at Bunnyx, where she stood at the entrance to the living room. An akuma? Now?

Marinette disentangled herself from Hugo. ‘Already?’

Bunnyx tapped her chin. ‘Well…that depends on your definition of already.’

Ugh, time travel.

But it was so soon. They’d only finished fighting Monsieur Rat maybe an hour ago – and now Hugo had just told them…told them….

Lila used him. She preyed on him like a mantis, then left him in pieces. Stole his heart, then stole the butterfly. Stole information about his parents.

His hands were already in fists again – but his anger came to a shuddering halt when he took in the look on Marinette’s face. All the blood had drained from her skin, her eyes locked on Bunnyx, some private conversation being held without words.

Understanding slammed into him like a truck.

This wasn’t just an akuma. This was the akuma – the one they’d been waiting for but hoping would never come – the one that brought about that terrible future Marinette had carried in her head for so long.

‘It’s happening, isn’t it.’ Her voice was small and low.

Bunnyx pursed her lips…then gave a slow nod.

‘Oh god, I –’ Her knees wobbled.

Adrien darted across the room, catching her before she could fall to the floor. ‘Marinette –’

‘This is it, Adrien. This is it. This is how it begins.’

Hi again!

My delulu brain be like: OMG, Luka and Alix interacting?! They could be besties in your AU!!! or even dating XD. Their interactions would be so much fun!

THEYRE BESTIESSS,, and even in the band sometimes Luka improvs and no one else really likes it when he does that except her so they get along really well!!

And since their powers are both time-related, they don’t really take anything serious since they can just, go back and fix it ahehfeheihs

So they just goof around and crack jokes- (Luka cracks the joke, Alix laughs then adds something funnier, then Luka laughs harder)

why jalil kubdel was the ideal candidate for a second hawkmoth 

in his focus episode we already know he was drawn to a spell to bring back to dead for some reason [looks at the mother shaped hole in the kubdel family]

he’s an archaeology student who would have the resources and know-how to investigate the miraculouses

hates ladybug because her war took away his little sister (and even if it’s technically hawkmoth’s fault, alix still had to go on the run because ladybug lost the miracle box). yes i know reunion technically resolved their issues but i think he should have still had a bone to pick with ladybug for putting her in this situation in the first place

strikes a really interesting balance between “realistically compelling” (his dad neglected him emotionally in favor of his golden child sister, possibly dead mom, and now the only family member that loves him has been taken away from him) and “frustratingly immature” (get the fuck over yourself and go to therapy for your daddy issues, dude) that i think works really well in a lot of villains

would have a different motivation from gabriel hawkmoth, opening the doors to new stories. in my mind, he would take up the hawkmoth mantle not because he wants the wish necessarily but because he wants ladybug and chat noir to give up their mantle as heroes, thinking that if all miraculous use ceased, the world would be a better place and his sister could come home. also maybe he can be nice to nooroo can we have that

would be an excellent case of a tragic self fulfilling prophecy. as we’ve seen before, family members wielding miraculouses at the same time only leads to disaster. even if alix tried to come out of the burrow and convince jalil face to face that the world needs ladybug, i think it would have resulted in some kind of world-ending fight or time paradox, forcing her to not intervene and watch her brother go down the rabbit hole into spiteful rage

Chat noir: Hey Bunnyx, Bunnyx: What up Chat noir? Chat noir: Would it be possible to go back in time and try and save my father? Bunnyx: Nope. Chat noir: Why? Bunnyx: Canon Event. Chat noir: What Bunnyx:

Chat Blanc, covered in blood somehow: It can all be ours! I just need your miraculous, and everything we dreamed of is at our fingertips!

Ladybug: ...

Why it was easier for her in “Cat Blanc” and “Ephemeral”

After I posted my “She doesnt feel good enough” post(read here) , I realized there was going to be a bit of confusion in the fandom over the events of “Cat Blanc” when Marinette was able to reciprocate Adriens feelings much easier than what we have seen after “Transmission”.

To clarify, the events of Cat Blanc’s timeline, were not meant to exist, it was the result of a time anomaly(Ladybug writing her name on the gift). Everything that occurred in this timeline was never supposed to happen, choices that the characters made were never meant to exist and circumstances that originally plagued the characters to restrain them from taking certain actions, did not occur, which is why Bunnyx had to intervene in order to restore the time stream to its original course.

(These events were not supposed to happen.)

Things in “Ephemeral” were also different as these events primarily revolved around Marinette coming to terms with Adrien’s identity as Cat Noir, rather than just facing Adrien.

Marinette and Adrien knew each others secret identities in both “Cat Blanc” and “Ephemeral” near the end, helping them realize that no matter what struggles they faced, they were already always there for each other, making it easier for Marinette to reciprocate her feelings as she now realized that what they had was real from the very start and nothing to be afraid of.

But as civilians who do not know each others identities, things are different. Marinette loves Adrien, but because she is not aware of how much Adrien has already been there for her as Cat Noir after the events of “Transmission”, something within Marinette is struggling in believing that what she has with just Adrien is genuine and can be taken to the next step to be an official couple with nothing to worry .

Where We Find Ourselves Again - Ch 8

PREVIEW:

De-transformed, Marinette opened the front door to their apartment, Adrien at her side. If she’d been asked what she expected to find on returning home from London, Bunnyx and Hugo watching re-runs of Inuyasha at nigh on three in the morning would not have featured on her list.

‘Oh, hey, guys!’ Bunnyx waved at them.

Marinette put up a hand in return, while Adrien shut the door behind them. Plagg and Tikki flew out and joined Bunnyx and Hugo on the sofa. Hugo kept his eyes on the TV, like he hadn’t yet worked out how he should act around all this…stuff.

Bunnyx glanced at the screen, where Kagome was frantically trying to keep her friends from finding out her boyfriend was a half-demon from another era…then threw Marinette a look of apology. ‘Sorry if there was meant to be a bedtime. I figured he’s already fourteen, plus it’s been a long day, so….’

‘No, it’s…it’s fine.’ A beat too late, she looked at Adrien, hoping he agreed. He was watching the TV, too. Maybe relating to Inuyasha.

‘Was your conversation with Felix productive?’ Bunnyx asked.

‘I…think so.’ Actually, it was hard to say. They were no further than they were before they left for London – but at least she didn’t have to worry about Felix’s safety. If anything happened to him…and because she had kept the miracle box….

A vision consumed her mind, of fingers snapping and Felix poofing right out of existence – followed by the usual replay of all the sentibeings she’d sent to their doom…the replay that still sometimes kept her up at night, even now.

Her blood ran cold, as it always did when the memories hit her. Guilt squeezed her lungs. This wasn’t just Adrien’s secret to keep. This was hers. Hugo had a right to judge her, too.

Adrien let out a heavy breath that belied how exhausted he was. ‘I need tea.’

When he stalked off to the kitchen, something in her chest loosened. Thank god. Him and his unnatural obsession with tea. At least that was one thing that hadn’t changed.

She chewed on her lip, glancing at Bunnyx for…support? Answers? She was younger than them…but in a way, she was older. A kind of mentor simply for having lived in so many eras.

Bunnyx smiled and nodded, her eyes saying, Go on. Go talk to him.
