@mysteriousxgirls - Nate to Harms

[citrusbugz]

There's something uniquely cool about coming back to an older project but with better skills. Like, wow I can finally draw it well enough, 2021 me would've been proud!! Anyways, here's crumbs of my (mid-redesigning) kwamiswap au :)

[sophiathefallen]

Shout-out to Crash Out Shanila Iris for being the realest ever

You cannot tell me that this wasn't the most reasonable reaction

At this point, if I was Mephisto and Praxina, I would be GIVING UP

Anyways, I think she should go crazy more often

[kari-go]

This was so much fun :D

They will change ofc. Mostly just Marinette and Chris get buffer xd

btw, the body birthmarks' placement was random.

Ramblings under cut

Marinette

Marinette has a typical teen girl body type. I don't think that her legs and arms would be weak tho. She helps around in the bakery and has to keep up with Kim. Sometimes she even runs with him in the morning (he takes a slower pace ofc).

She does have neat handwriting when she isn't in a rush, which doesn't happen that often honestly. Sometimes her notes are readable sometimes not, it's a gamble. She tries to make them look nice tho, she has a few highlighters she uses constantly.

Chris

Chris has a sort of hourglass shape. I always drew him as slender and like. Why did I do that. It's a crime that I haven't drawn him chubby like of course he will be. Mf sits around all day and goes on a walk sometimes like bruh. Other than that he has really veiny hands, another thing he got from Arthur along with his baby face lol (although, Arthur’s veins are even more prominent, so much they're kinda concerning). I like how I drew them :]. The baby face is not gonna change soon unless he stops transforming which he definitely won't do. Btw, despite being the weakest of the trio as a civilian, he's actually the strongest while transformed (with the lion ofc)

As for his handwriting, it's not bad. Sometimes he squishes the words together to not waste space and it ends up not being readable.

Stephan

He's already pretty athletic, he used to do competitive gymnastics and ice skating in his free time. Used to, he sprained his wrist (mostly out of stress and to occupy his mind to keep him from thinking about Viktor,,,, it's just.. a thing he does). Then they moved to Paris anyway, so he just stopped completely. He gained a little weight so he started running in the morning, to also get to know the city better. He also starts going to the gym with Kim after a while. His freckles are mostly on his face and neck

Surprise, his name is Štěpán lol. Would Štefan/Stefan be more fitting? Yes, but I like Štěpán more. Anyway, his handwriting is really neat, he's left-handed btw (idk just vibes). His notes are also nicely organized so he's the one to go to out of the yellow group if you need them.

Alya

Alya, my girl, I love her. She doesn't do much physical activity, she usually just sits around doing something on her phone or laptop. But after The Butterfly appears she starts running around more, to get the footage for Ladyblog. Her stamina gets so good omg

Her handwriting is not that bad. It honestly depends on the day and mood, sometimes she can't even read it herself xd

Chloe

Chloe is another athlete, she did gymnastics, track running, ice skating and sometimes ballet and fencing. Her legs are so powerful you have no idea. I know that's a lot of sports and her grades reflect that which is why she needs a tutor. She stopped ice skating, fencing, and ballet when she was younger and now she just does them for fun, when she gets the time ( ,,, she honestly doesn't lol). But now she also quit the other ones as she went into lycee because her grades were too bad and Andre put his foot down (he mostly just told her that Audrey would be disappointed oof). Btw, Aurore’s mom was her ballet teacher :) definitely no rivalry there 

She writes in cursive? She does, to make herself stand out and appear fancy. It does look fancy but she focuses on that too much so sometimes she doesn't write everything down :/

Kagami

My girl is BUFF. Her main focus is on fencing, which is how she met Chloe :D. She has a private gym wherever she lives, so she trains there. She also has an interest in archery and sometimes ice skating so she does that but also just regular sparring. But again, her main focus is fencing, she's already one of the best but she can be better. Her freckles are mostly on her face (her nose to be specific) and are more sparse on her body

Her handwriting, like everything else about her, is bold.

Lila

What do I say about her? She cares about her appearance a lot and she knows she's pretty. She exercises at home but also goes to the gym sometimes (she has to watch out for her asthma tho). Her self-control fails when it comes to sweets but it goes to her thighs mostly which she doesn't mind as much. Her tummy and fingers annoy her tho

Pretty handwriting. She tries to make her notes pretty but gets so occupied with that, that she doesn't even pay attention to the lesson and just the appearance (wow really subtle lol)

Nino

He's the least athletic out of the three besties, he doesn't even try to catch up anymore xd. He can barely run a lap (same tbh). 

His handwriting takes up space and is sometimes unreadable. That's not really an issue because he remembers stuff more by listening so he doesn't take notes. He just looks at Marinette’s (or Stephan’s after they meet) if he needs to.

Kim

Another athletic fella. He does track running and swimming. He did track sooner than swimming but he likes swimming more and wants to focus on it (it's also how he and Ondine met). And like I mentioned before, he runs in the mornings and then starts going to the gym with Steph. So yeah, another strong legs lol

His handwriting takes up SO much space. He goes through so many notebooks, it's also not that readable xd and it's not like he can focus on the study sessions with Nino and Marinette, they usually just end up playing UMS3. (he always loses if you're asking)

Juleka

Jules! She's pretty thin. She walks around a lot and forgets to eat sometimes. Especially when she's studying. Her collarbone is really prominent, she also has bony hands.

Her handwriting is small, sometimes unreadable

Luka

He has a belly button piercing!!!! (very important information imo) That's it. bony hands also

His handwriting is shit. You will not understand half of the stuff (unless you're Juleka).

Sabrina

Just an average teen girl's body, she exercises at home at least once a day.

The best person to go to for notes. So nice, so readable, so neat

Alix

Her legs are strong, she just flies around all day. She skates to school every day (which is like 45 mins on foot). Then she goes to a skate park or a roller skating rink.

Her handwriting is somehow worse than Luka's, like it's completely unreadable, just cat scratches.

Mylene

She loves walking around, just taking in the atmosphere and nature

She has really small handwriting, the words look lonely on the page

Max

He sits around a lot but he makes sure to exercise to make sure his body is healthy. He also watches his diet.

His handwriting is the best out of the class but his notes look less nice than Sabrina’s. He always writes down his full name

Rose

She has a hard time gaining and maintaining weight (even if we ignore her allergies) so she eats a lot and doesn't exercise much. Her chronic cough also doesn't help

Her notes are always decorated, there are so many cute drawings and stickers. It's so adorable

Nathaniel

He's a lot like Chris, except he gets forced to do stuff by Alix

He doesn't have the prettiest handwriting. He usually just ends up drawing all over the page

Ivan

His little sister is a back killer, she wants to be on his shoulders all the time.

His handwriting is on the smaller side

Aurore

She did ballet since she knew how to walk. She slowed down a little, wanting to focus on her grades and the weather competition she loses.

Pretty notes, she doesn't use highlighter and decorations that much, just headers

Ondine

Swimmer, she's like a fish. She has pretty wide shoulders. She has freckles everywhere.

Her handwriting is so round and spacey. She has a lot of pretty highlighters. Also her last name is Rosseau :D!

Marc

They don't exercise much, or at all. They like to take a walk when their inspiration is low

Their handwriting is nice, but it can get messy when they're really inspired and just write with no breaks.

Yall can pry Miraculous from my cold dead hands

[cardiac-agreste]

After working with other, extremely dedicated mods on this event, I'm so STOKED to share a preview of my work for @mlbigbang2024! This year, I'm taking "courtroom drama" out for a spin, in a manner of speaking. A Twelve Angry Holders, if you will. I will begin publishing it Jan 15!

Synopsis

In The Demon Takes Two Chairs, thanks to a shift in allegiance by Nathalie Sancoeur, Ladybug's team of holders has just defeated Hawkmoth. Now they must decide what to do with Mayura, who is being held prisoner by Bunnyx in her time burrow.

But a tense standoff between Gabriel and Argos revealed that Adrien is a sentimonster.

Ladybug feels overwhelmed by all her allies’ differing opinions. She sets out to convince them that Adrien Agreste’s only remaining quasi-family should be shown leniency.

As the team (very) vigorously debates Mme Sancoeur’s fate, old wounds and grievances are re-opened.

Perhaps most painful of all is that she hasn’t seen Chat Noir in days.

The other members of my team are artists @zambiv and @supergirl9130, and @uptoolateart, who is my beta reader.

Preview

Bedsprings shifted, and Rena finally scanned the rest of the room. Ladybug sat at the edge of Adrien’s bed, destruction spiraling out around her on the ground. Had she thrown a tantrum? There were books from Adrien’s second-floor library everywhere, ripped to shreds; his desk was upturned, monitors shattered; there were cracks in the walls from what must have been Tikki-powered punches.

Her friend and hero was hunched over like a solitary cypress tree, roots clinging desperately to the cliffside, bowed over the years into submission by ceaseless oceanic gusts. Its bark weathered and pale, its leaves disheveled and grasping for any stray light peeking through the storm clouds.

Ladybug held something small in her hands, passing it from one to the other.

Rena inhaled swiftly at the sight, and muscles in her chest fluttered in anticipation of whatever support her best friend would need. As she walked to the bed, she recognized it as Adrien: The Lego, one of Gabriel’s less-inspired marketing ploys. Her friend was being so gentle with it even though it had previously been the subject of two wide-ranging tirades. Marinette was taking the news worse than Alya had expected.

“Girl, let’s sneak in and put that on the floor in Lila’s house. Then she’ll step on it and hurt her foot.”

Threatening Lila with pain usually teased a smile out of Marinette no matter how down in the dumps she was, but not this time. This wasn’t good. Rena went and sat down beside Ladybug, shoulder to shoulder, willing her body heat to envelope her friend. “Hey…”

“Why would he do this to Adrien?” she whispered.

If Rena hadn’t been right next to her, she wouldn’t have heard it. She put her arm on her friend’s back and began rubbing softly. “What do you mean?”

“Adrien told his father he didn’t want to be a model anymore, and Gabriel retaliated by creating an AR version that anyone could manipulate. Do you think there were restrictions placed on the AI? What if some horny pervert had used it to make deep fakes? Do you think Gabriel even cared?

“And then there’s this. It’s cheap, mass-produced, plastic, and can be manipulated by a child. How could he think this was a good idea? How did Adrien feel about it? It’s like all Gabriel did was focused on controlling him…”

Ladybug shot to her feet and growled, hurling the toy across the room. “There’s a mini-fridge full of fucking camembert over there! I think I’d know if he liked camembert!”

Her voice reverberated in the room, and then near-silent but for some rustling around the corner near the skate ramps. The force of the throw had probably blown a few loose book pages around.

“No!” She sprinted across the room and retrieved the toy, stroking it and clutching it to her chest like a poultice intended to heal a broken heart, leaning over so her forehead pressed against the wall.

“Adrien…” She turned to Rena and asked, “Do you think he already knew? That he’s a…” Her eyes were brimming with a hope that was already being stabbed in the back. It seemed like Ladybug couldn’t even say it out loud. 

Without pausing, she answered her own question. “Of course he didn’t. This is Gabriel we’re talking about. If Adrien didn’t know his father was Hawkmoth, he wouldn’t have known this.

“And what am I going to do about Nathalie? This is…it’s too much for me.” Ladybug stumbled beforefalling to her knees, breath becoming ragged as her chin dipped to her chest.Her hands pressed to her temples, as if to wring the anxiety from her mind. “I can’t… how do I do that alone?”

Rena’s eyes burned as her friend fell apart before her. The revelation that Adrien was a sentimonster had hit her hard, too. But Rena was furious at someone else.

Why hadn’t Felix ever told Adrien the truth? Why hadn’t he told anyone that Gabriel Agreste was Hawkmoth? That bastard had toyed with Ladybug’s emotions, stole all the Miraculous, and set Paris on a collision course with Armageddon.

She clenched her fists. Everything in this room looked like a pressure release valve. Why not throw that chair through the window? Why not torch this place? It was likely Adrien would never want to be here once they found him and told him the truth. Because she, Nino, and Marinette weren’t Felix. Adrien was their brother.

Rena Rouge walked over to Ladybug and knelt beside her. “You’re right. This is too big for Ladybug alone. But Ladybug isn’t alone. She has me. And she has Pigella. And she has Purple Tigress. And Polymouse. Carapace is ride or die. She’s got her whole secret garden of flowers here.” She lowered her voice and looked around conspiratorially. “Though I’m not sure Nino would like being compared to a flower.”

This elicited a giggle from her friend.

(Was going to send this as an anon to not be tagged as a Nevra-obsessed girl but the option was gone😭lol). So yeah, another question about Nevra. You mentioned that Nevra gives away different versions of why he lost his eye, so, is the story about Shaïtan real or what is the true version? Was he insecure about it? Don't mind ANE, I'd love to hear you canon :). Also, one more thing now for MCL if it's possible... Nath was ambiguous about having a gf before meeting Candy, was he lying?

Ahah no problem, with the amount of time I take to answer no one will know (well, now they do. ) 1> Yes, Shaïtan is the real reason Nevra lost his eye. But losing his eye in trying to tame a familiar (even if a wild and dangerous one ) always nipped a bit at his ego, that it was not on some epic battle against evil ennemies.

So yeah he went with saying something random to everyone who asked him and legends and rumors build up on top of that. Which he was amused to keep going on and to mess with people. 2> You mean Nath HSL ? He did have a few girlfriends but it never lasted long (few days to two weeks maximum ). They never really picked his interest after seeing each other over some dates, so he would just break up with them. So nothing really specific to share about this, its just some "teenage experiences" I would say. (now if the question is if he did have any sexual experience before candy, yes, one or twice from those dates.) For CL, well obviously he was seeing girls, they would not pick his interest much more at this time neither but the difference with HSL is that at this time he enjoyed having them around as ONS. ( yeah sorry he did have his heartless fuckboi time ;;; )

[sciderman]

today i learned that nathan summers is actually named after a kid who bullied cyclops in childhood

his mom really did say "fuck you scott. im going to name your child after your childhood bully. fuck you."

[avernusreject]

Its really becoming a problem at this point.

Why Rendon Howe is evil

This is a little theory thats been going around in my head for several days.

Rendon Howe. Evil personified. Probably one of the most despicable and hated characters in the Dragon Age series. One of the characters thats most easily defined as being just plain bad and evil, with good reason. Even in the game itself no one likes him (with 1 exception that I'll mention later in this post)

In the game, we really aren't given many reasons as to why he is the way he is and why he does the thing he does beyond saying he's evil, power hungry, and like he himself says as he dies, "I deserved more!" But recently I started to become curious about him to try to find out what had made him become like this, cause I prefer villains to have some complexity that goes beyond just "He's evil just because".

Rest of the analysis under the cut.

.

My main theory of why I think Rendon became "evil" is cause he may have suffered brain damage due to his injuries while fighting against Orlais with Maric and his rebels. My first thought for this came cause historically, Henry the 8th of England suffered several brain injuries during sporting events, and its believed that his injuries led to him having a severe personality change, which led to him become more radical, tyrannical and murderous.

After the death of his father and the Howe family joining the rebellion, Rendon joined Maric's forces and became close friends with Bryce Cousland, future Teyrn of Highever, and Leonas Bryland, future Arl of South Reach. The 3 of them fought together in the Battle of White River, which was the worse defeat the rebels suffered in the war against Orlais, and only 50 of the initial thousand soldier strong fereldan army survived.

Rendon was very badly injured during the battle, and Bryce and Leonas had to dragged him away to safety as the rebel army was crushed by the orlesians. Bryce was injured in the arm while trying to save Rendon from a chevalier. They got Rendon to Redcliffe and stayed with him for a month while he recovered before leaving to rejoin Maric and the rest of the rebel forces. While Rendon recovered in Redcliffe, he was tended to by Leonas's sister, Eliane, until he eventually recovered months later. He eventually proposed to her and they got married.

And here is the first bit of evidence we get of Rendon's attitude and behaviour completely changing after that battle and his wounds. From the wiki: "Leonas had become concerned by the changes in his friend's behavior since the battle and attempted to prevent the marriage." And some other quotes from Leonas that we get to her in dao: "Rendon Howe was no friend of mine. The boy I knew... died at the Battle of White River" and "That he didn't die years ago is the only thing worth mourning here." Leonas cut all contact with Rendon after he told him that he was only marrying his sister for her dowry and connections.

This goes back to what I mentioned earlier about the one person that seemed to care for Rendon. That person is Bryce Cousland.

Bryce and Eleanor were the only people that attended Rendon and Eliane's wedding, and even though Rendon was treated as a pariah by almost everyone in fereldan nobility, Bryce still maintained a friendly relation with Rendon, and seemed to have an almost protective attitude towards him, which contrasts greatly with how Leonas feels about Rendon. And this is where I came up with another theory about why this is. I believe that Bryce feels personally responsible for the injuries and near death that Rendon suffered during the Battle of White River and feels that he is somehow obligated to look after him. I can only hc why these could be, but maybe Rendon got injured while protecting Bryce, or maybe Bryce's actions during the battle led to Rendon's injuries. Maybe that's why Bryce seems to have keep pushing for the friendship that he once had with him, even though he clearly no longer was the same person. Cause Bryce felt responsible for the way Rendon had turned out.

Its possible that Rendon was just always like this, and those months he spent recovering just made him become super resentful against everything and everyone, but I do believe that the near death injuries he suffered during that battle, including possible head injuries and brain trauma, led to his personality changing and to him becoming the sheer villain we see ingame.

And to finish, a bit of background as to why Rendon would have hated Bryce even despite of this, here's a bit of info about them and about the relation between Highever and Amaranthine.

Rendon's father, Tarleton, supported Orlais during their occupation of Ferelden, and was eventually hanged by the Couslands before the Howes officially joined the rebellion. Adding the fact that Highever was once part of Amaranthine before they rebelled to gain their independence and annexed a good part of southern Amaranthine after winning their independence war, it adds some context to how Rendon could have seen this part of his greater vengeance against the Couslands and Highever for killing his father and taking away land from Amaranthine.

TL,DR: Rendon Howe suffered grieveous injuries during the war against Orlais, including possible brain injuries which may have led to a complete personality shift and to him becoming the person that we see him being in the game.

is TTONF compliant with Battle at Procyon’s lore?

Maybe if you squint? lol

I'll probably have a raccoon character as a reference to the Procyon, but there'll be no mention of the "Procyon War" in TToNF, as the main "world" conflict is tension growing over the lack of transition to solar power as crystal power is dwindling for ships, the implications of what will happen if the King and Queen suddenly dies with no heir, and the poacher crime market

BUT-- I'd say Battle at Procyon’s lore could work if you imagine the Procyons started establishing themselves as a threat AFTER the events that take place in TToNF Vol. 3 (as opposed to having been involved in a war for centuries, and instead make it for the past 100 years or so)

My Fic: Flames Of Knowledge

Marinette gets the Cat Miraculous when she is seven... But the Order of the Guardians have forsaken the ring, believing it to be evil. Marinette will have to prove to both Fu and Paris that she isn't evil.

Featuring Chloe/Marinette, Adrien/Luka, a bit of Adrien/Kim, Nathaniel not getting paid enough to deal with Alya's Shit, and Worldbuilding!

NARHANIEL IS/WAS APRT OF A BAND!!!!??

I love the jewl tones so much!! Very exited to meet them. I love how jugey he was with kremy enven tho he seems to always be around non-humans XD. He's such a compelling guy

HE DIDNT PLAY, BUT HE AMD THE JEWEL TONES ARE PRETTY DAMN CLOSE!!!

They asked him to sing once or twice with his country voice, but he never joined fully. If he had, he'd be wearing orange/yellow, to make up the rainbow!

They made him wear a coloured flannel/neckerchief at every show though.

TBF when your first tiefling is Artie, you fear no tieflings. He's like a blueberry marshmallow who sings to cows.

ALSO KREMY SHOWED UP, TEETH AND CLAWS, LOOKIN' LIKE HE OWNED GIDEON IN A BAD WAY. At least tieflings are just multicoloured humans. Kremy does look like an animal - he has the sly smile of a hungry alligator.

Also helps that Nathaniel finds them. Well. 😏

He and Artie are real close 'friends' 😏😏😏

y'all. this took forever. like idk two and a half hours.

maybe longer idk :/

also do you recognize the videos at the end

[madamemozart]

ehe hehhe thani :3

You know, I don't think I've ever shared a Picrew of (probably) my most notable male OC Nathaniel here! Although he has made a few appearances in my Sims 4 game...

I found this maker through a random Picrew link generator, and it's not totally perfect (he looks like a mf handsome Squidward), I still wanted to share my guy. I believe there are female options as well, so feel free to make a pretty buff muscle woman or whatever. :P

For the uninitiated: Nathaniel Ambroise Beaumont (affectionately known as "Thani") is a French-Canadian history major originally from Montreal (in the province of Quebec). He works alongside his former history professor in the university he graduated from, doing things like conducting anthropological studies, cataloguing artifacts, holding lectures (and even his own classes) over ancient cultures, and occasionally flying out to different countries to work right in archaeological sites. His biggest pet peeves are conspiracy theories, and he considers his most important mission in life is to educate others about ancient cultures and the world itself.

uhuhuh i might've have been wayyyy too inspired by miniminuteman aka milo rossi, big fan of him and his debunking of awful conspiracies

In his spare time, Nathaniel enjoys creating art, studying and playing old musical instruments and just spending time with his family! He's married to his beloved Lucrezia (or "Luce") and the father of orchestra-inclined Violetta ("Viola"), science-obsessed Michelangelo ("Mica"), and curious Serafina ("Sera"). An introvert by nature, Nathaniel also considers himself a "cat person" and treasures his little Siamese, Chouette.

Nathaniel was initially created as a historical character, believe it or not - he lived during the RENAISSANCE. So I suppose it was no surprise I chose to still have history tied into his backstory when I made him a modern-day character. His long, wavy, hair has always been a signature part of his appearance and it used to be red; now it's dark brown. He also used to have green eyes, but they're actually supposed to be hazel. I've always imagined him to have a mole somewhere on his face, and one of his eyebrows is split because I imagine he tried to cut his hair as a kid (back when he was self-conscious and got teased for having long hair) and somehow ended up accidentally cutting the skin there bad enough that the hair hasn't grown back since. He does also enjoy wearing simple pieces of jewelry (including necklaces), especially if they have some sort of historical or sentimental/familial value to him. He additionally has one tattoo on his lower right arm: "je me souviens" (the motto of his home province) written in cursive.

creds to @mona-lark, Lucrezia and Michelangelo are her OCs lol
