#plagg cares

[saharthings]

Butterfly Adrien:

-This au is where Fu lost the Peacock and Cat miraculous instead

-Adrien never went to school until much later on in season 2 or 3, but he was able to try to sneak in the school and helped Fu. That's how he got the butterfly miraculous.

-Gabriel used the peacock miraculous to turn into the villian Pavone. He locked the Cat miraculous in the safe behind Emilie portrait because Plagg won't cooperate to help him, and he tried to kill him once.

-Adrien met Nooroo just like he met Plagg in the Canon version. Nooroo already liked the boy; he can tell he is perfect chosen for the butterfly miraculous.

-Adrien also has the Cat miraculous after he steals it in the safe when there was a power outage in the city.

-Adien wears different clothes when he had the butterfly and ring miraculous. He wears a black turtleneck cloth, dark blue jacket, a necklace (his miraculous, he tied it with a string on it to make it look like a necklace) and a fingerless glove where the ring resides. His pants and shoes are the same

-Adrien calls himself Chrysalis (ca-ri-sa-lis) the butterfly hero, he doesn't often show himself that much instead he send his companions to help Ladybug and giving them instructions but if he does he is a very good fighter

-The first time Ladybug met Chrysalis was in the episode Sandboy. He only shows up at 2-3 times a week

-He transforms into Cat Noir sometimes to help Ladybug and his companion. It's hard work for him; he has to transform into Chrysalis to Chat noir and again. He's doing it to help Ladybug and so she won't be suspicious that he is Chat noir.

-It's really tiring him using both miraculous and switching back to another hero

-Nooroo and Plagg sometimes fight over who is Adrien's holder and favourite.

-Chloe is actually a decent person in this au and is a friend of Adrien. The only real reason why Gabriel allowed Adrien to go to school is because Chloe threatened him with something (still doesn't decided what it is).

-Ladybug fallen in love with Chrysalis in this au when he saved her from Sandboy. Their dynamic is more nicer and decent compared to the Canon one:

"A-are you?"

*Smiles* "Hello, my name is Chrysalis, the hero of transmission. Nice to meet you"

"N-names Ladybug, n-nice to meet you"

"It feels nice meeting my partner face to face for the first"

-Ladybug is in love with Chrysalis but Chrysalis is oblivious about it. But he always accepts her love for him. On Valentine's Day Ladybug got Chrysalis a gift and a flower when she called him to come to a roof. As kind hearted as Chrysalis is, he accepted her and let her be his Valentine's date.

-Chrysalis is serious and a complete dork, sometimes even in fighting sentimonster, it mixes between them. He is always kind to Ladybug that's why Ladybug loves him

-Nooroo and Plagg ships it:

"Ahhh… looks like the bug has fallen in love with my kitten"

"Ahem. You mean my Butterfly, his my holder Plagg"

"Oh shut up Apollo, his my holder not yours"

"What are you two talking about?" - Adrien

"Nothing!" - Nooroo and Plagg

-Chloe knows Adrien is Chrysalis and Chat noir after he gave her the Cat miraculous for a day since he was sick at that time, she calls her self Eloise.

I simply adore this and want more of this sort of dynamic between the two.

thinking about adrien’s abandonment issues…… and his relationship with plagg

[carpetbug]

that moment when you adopt a fuck ton of tiny gods at fourteen and get doomed by the narrative

[karmaxxx130]

Destroyed Memories

So I had this idea for a while, where Plagg as a god of destruction can destroy anything. So Adrien asked him to destroy a traumatic memory so he wouldn't be akumatized.

I made a little sketch to explain better but it's in french (with mistake) and not very clean/clear, sorry.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Disclaimer; reference to abuse and abuse aftermath.

Translation:

Panel 3: Adrien_ As a god of destruction, you can destroy everything, right? Can you destroy my memory of tonight? I try to be a good son, but I don't feel any love for him anymore…

Panel 4: A_ I don't want to be akumatized and be even more of a burden to Ladybug. Please…

Panel 5: Gabriel_ Oh, Adrien… Look what you're making me do… A_ Father?

Panel 6: G_ You keep disobeying me. I'll think you're doing it on purpose… by making the same mistakes over and over again. A_ I'm sorry

Panel 7: G_ Go to your room.

Panel 8: G_ Let's hope you learn this time.

Panel 10: Plagg_ I know I told you I'd destroy that memory, but I can't do it. Not again.

Panel 11: P_ Let's make a trade. I'll keep them for now. In exchange, take some of my energy. I think you'll need it…

Panel 12: A_ Hey Plagg!

Panel 13: A_ Are you okay? You look tired.

Panel 14: A_ My teeth feels weird …

Panel 15: P_ Kid!!! You must just be hungry. I'm starving!!! I need some camembert.

Panel 16: A_ Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too. P_ Let's go eat!

There are some physical side effects and feline tendencies from having a bit of destruction in him, but Parisians are oblivious and it doesn't show much, nor does it feel strange to see.

Took me so long, it's 4 in the morning, already!!? Good night?!!

Ps (why is my photo so pixelated? is there a special way to post a drawing on Tumblr? any size or format limits?)

[cookiedough77]

been thinking about reverse adrien and plagg

so we're all on board with selectively mute adrien right? right. and plagg cant talk at all

so do they just sit around not talking the entire time? until adrien transforms? its just a thing i like to imagine

adrien detransforms and just plops on his couch and plagg does the same and they dont do much, and certainly dont talk, just kinda like do whatever they do in silence

[jennrypan]

Really wish I could feel bad for Marinette and all but..this has been a plot point for what..two..three seasons now??

At this point..maybe you should idk..stop lying to the ones you love. Cuz at first you were scared Adrien would get akumatized or some shit but that doesn't seem to be the issue anymore??? Now you can't tell him cuz he'll be sad and alone?? That's completely forgetting the fact..he has fucking friends to help him?? Like. God.

Modern problems require modern solutions. I'm sick of Marinette making her own damn problems and everyone in this show as to coddle her and make her feel better for shit she did to her damn self cuz she can't think for one MOMENT outside of her intense love for Adrien.

Adrien should be given the grace to deal with his damn problems. So no I don't feel bad for Marinette, it was a choice she made and everyone else just let's her do it. Soo..if Adrien finds out, I hope he loses his damn shit. I hope he gets angry, I WANT him to get angry at her. Idc. If they break up..oh well. They weren't together that long anyways.

THIS COULD BE AN INTERESTING PLOT POINT. CHAT AND LADYBUG WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER COULD BE SOOO GOOD.. lord. Marinette is acting a lot like Gabriel and if this was a better show..it'd be cool to see her deal with that and actually own up to it and apologize properly.

MC: Isaac won’t come out of his room!

Dazai: Just tell him I said something.

MC: Like what?

Dazai: Anything factually incorrect.

MC, shrugging: If you say so.

Isaac, arriving moments later: Did you just say the sun is a PLANET?

I've only had Gimmi and the true forms of Tikki & Plagg for one day, but if anything were to happen to them--

[forcebookish]

how much miraculous fanfiction can i consume before the new season (2 days)

[nick-close]

As always I’ve been combining my two interests and currently I’ve been getting into miraculous again so. As much as I wanted a s1 au the kids don’t fit well enough. I have come to the conclusion Normal is Ladybug, Taylor is Chat noir, and Lark and Sparrow are collectively hawkmoth <3 use your imagination

[justplaggin]

Broken Miraculous Adrien Au

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Au inspired by @thatgirl257 fanfiction; http://archiveofourown.org/works/35103646, Emilie sickness and the peacock adrien aus:

So in this universe, Adrien's Miraculous broke during one of the battles between Hawk moth.

Adrien and Plagg didn't release that the ring was damaged so they went on with their day.

As Adrien continues using it, he often has headaches and nausea. During battles, Chat noir moves slower than he usually is and doesn't say any puns that much anymore.

Ladybug has to save him every time. Ladybug was annoyed by him and, at the same time is worried:

"Chat noir are you okay? You're not acting like yourself anymore"

"I'm fine… I'm just tired that's all" followed by a cough

Ladybug wasn't convinced though… she kept an eye on him in battles.

It gotten worse, Adrien will always stumble, cough, headache, and have a hard time breathing. It's like his body is dying

It concerned Plagg, Nathalie, and Gabriel. But Gabriel was the most anxious this reminded him of Emillie. Gabriel insisted his son take it easy and rest on his bed, but Adrien begged to let him go to school and that he would be fine. This was hard for Gabriel, but he eventually agreed.

Gabriel contacted the school, warning them to keep an eye on his son and what is going on with him.

When the symptoms started appearing, Plagg realised what was happening. The miraculous is broken

Plagg told Adrien about this and tried to convince him to stop using the miraculous and ask for Ladybug's help

But Adrien didn't listen; he told him that he doesn't want to be a burden to Ladybug, especially now she is the guardian.

Adrien ones pass out on school. Of course, they called his parents. The next day he didn't go to school. His friends were worried about him when they questioned his father about this. He reassured them that he is fine and that he just needed some rest. He also told them to keep quiet about this incident, but of course it got leaked as the news spread not only in Paris but the world

Chat noir doesn't appear in battles that much anymore. When he does, he looks like he is exhausted and tired. He became slower as the battle continued.

When Chat Noir doesn't show up on battles, Ladybug has to be the one protecting the city alone. Every time the battle gets too much for her, she calls the other heroes. The other holders now appear more often.

When Chat noir finally appeared for the first time in months there was another person besides him. He had the peacock miraculous he introduced himself as Argos. The peacock hero said that he will be assisting Chat noir for the battle. Before Ladybug can question why he has the Peacock miraculous the battle begun.

During the battle, Argos' concerns seemed to be Chat noir and only Chat Noir. He kepts protecting him from the attacks and saving him while he let Ladybug get hit and in danger. While Ladybug was busy fighting that akuma, Argos make sure Chat noir is well as he kept as eye on him.

After they purified the akuma Ladybug wanted to ask Argos for the miraculous but her concern shifted to Chat noir when he started coughing really loudly, he sounded like he was having a hard time breathing before she could ask him if he was alright. Argos picked Chat noir up in bridal style and left:

'Sh*t! It's getting worse' Argos curses as he tries to keep the cat hero standing and his other arm on his shoulder.

Ladybug went toward the two with worried glances. "Chat! Are you oka-" before Ladybug could finish the question. Argos lifted Chat noir's legs and as he carried him in bridal style when he felt his knees buckle amd left the scene leaving a confused and concert bug

Don't worry Adrien/Chat Noir doesn't die; I can't bring myself to :,)

[buggachat]

i do just have to say though.................... i feel like people who really really loved the movie's portrayals of the characters are adding aspects of the show characters onto them? you know what i mean? like i see people say that adrien and marinette were more likeable in the movie than the show, when movie adrien didn't perform a single act of kindness in the entire 2 hours despite kindness being a core trait of adrien in the show? marinette was normal and not particularly weird at all and just kind of a generic protagonist? were adrien and marinette actually more interesting in the movie than the show, or are you just cherrypicking the aspects of them you like the from the show and putting them on the movie characters to make your favorite amalgamation?

marinette fell for adrien not because he showed vulnerability and forgiveness and kindness and opened his heart up to her.... but because he awkwardly tried to help her up after being kind of weirded out by her? so like i guess she thought he was hot and that was basically it? chat noir fell for ladybug not because she was strong and confident and showed determination in the face of fear... but because she begrudgingly helped him up in the middle of a battle? so like i guess he thought she was hot and that was basically it? they fell for each other over just the bare minimum interactions? most of their relationship was a montage? like, did the movie do the work to convince you of lovesquare's romantic potential, or did you go into the movie already shipping them because the show had already convinced you?

thats totally a valid way to enjoy the movie ftr! i'm just saying.... idk it's weird to see people praising the movie for being "better" when i feel like a lot of the enjoyment of the movie actually hinges on watching the show as context for their characters. and i guess im just a cringe slow-burn enjoyer but i find it weird that people are using "faster" as a synonym for "better"

"There are some people out there who should be very, very aware that their continued existence is owed specifically to how upset it would make a certain kid to discover them as a pitiful pile of ash. At least in an urn, he'd spend more time with his son."

[wheredostarsgowhenyoudie]

OMG HAHHAHAHAHHAA That would be hilarious XD Fanart anyone??

I love "Plagg is a real cat" AUs. Imagine Adrien trying to give him a flea bath

As a follow up to you post about mentors, just to make things fair, what are examples of Tikki being a bad mentor to Marinette?

Post in question for context.

Tikki often acts as the voice of the author. She's there to explain why Marinette is in the wrong. Since Miraculous has some wacky morals, that means we get a mix of good advice and wacky nonsense advice.

Two examples of bad advice that come to mind are Gamer and Strikeback. Gamer is the episode where Marinette stumbles upon an Ultimate Mecha Strike tournament, realizes that Adrien is taking part, and decides to compete so they can be on a team together. Marinette wins a spot through her own hard won skills and then this happens:

Tikki: All you wanted to do is spend time with Adrien, there are other ways to do that! Marinette: What are you getting at? Tikki: You know how much Max wanted to be in that tournament. Kim said he'd been training for it all year. Marinette: You're right. All I could think about was Adrien. 

This is how tournaments work, right? They're not tests of skill, but tests of who put in the most work or who wants to compete the most! That's why we had that scene with Marinette writing out her training schedule and motivations for evaluation, but she lied and that was wrong and...

Okay, I was the one lying here. There was no written evaluation because that's not how tournaments work. All anyone cares about is your skills. They don't care if you're doing this for personal glory or to get closer to a boy or whatever Adrien's motivation was because - notably - his motivation didn't matter in this episode about needing pure motives to be allowed to do things.

What if he didn't care about the competition and only did it to get closer to his classmates? That's not even a random guess. It's a valid read because Adrien ultimately gives his spot to Max while claiming that Max is the better player even though Adrien very clearly beat Max at the start of the episode. Ignoring that weird nonsense dialogue, why was it fine for Adrien to compete when he didn't care but wrong for Marinette to do the same? And Max wanting to compete to show off his skills is also a totally selfish motivation, so why does it matter that he wanted it more? Everything about this episode was nonsense and uncomfortably sexist. If Max wants to compete, then he needs to get better at the game. That's how competitions work.

Strikeback is the second part of the season four final and it starts with Marinette mourning the fact that "Adrien" has left Paris, leading to this:

Marinette: (crestfallen) It's all over, Tikki. Tikki: He'll be back, Marinette. He's just going on a voyage!

Which would be lovely advice if Adrien was a normal boy, but he's Chat Noir and Tikki knows that. She should be freaking out and trying to find a way to get him back to Paris, but then Tikki would have to support Marinette's actions and we can't have that, so instead Tikki gives this nonsense advice because she has to be against whatever "wrong" thing Marinette is doing today.

I could come up with a few more examples, but I think those two paint a pretty good picture of issue one re Tikki. However, when it comes to Tikki, my main issue with her is less a wealth of bad advice - unlike Plagg*, I think she's right more often than not - and more a lack of support. It feels like she's just here to judge Marinette and point out when she's doing something wrong, but a good mentor should be so much more than that.

Kuro Neko is a great example of this. When Chat Noir quits, Tikki just sits back and does nothing while her young charge is freaking out. She doesn't even try to defend Marinette when Plagg is going off about Chat Noir's "ill treatment". For all Plagg's faults in that episode, at least he's doing something about the situation. Meanwhile Tikki literally has two lines in the entire episode! A similar thing happens in Kwami's Choice where Plagg is the one driving them to act while Tikki just wrings her hands in despair.

Tikki: (sighs heavily) What can we do? Plagg: We must free them of that impossible choice. We must… free them of us.

These are not the actions of a mentor. Mentors aren't supposed to just offer judgement about things that their mentee has already done or is considering doing. They're supposed to be a source of support and guidance in hard times, but we never really see Tikki stepping in to give Marinette that kind of advice. If memory serves, she never offers solutions or acts as a sounding board. That role is mainly filled by Alya and I love Alya! It's good for Marinette to have support from a friend, but Alya is also a teenager while Tikki is an ancient being who has seen many Ladybugs go through the kind of struggles that Marinette is going through. I expect her to use that knowledge to help her charge, but she never does. This exchange from Passion perfectly highlights this problem:

Tikki: Don't worry, Plagg... my holder has decided to run away from her real feelings to pursue an impossible love with Cat Noir instead. Plagg: Uh, just to be sure, sugarcube, you do know that Cat Noir and my holder are one and the same person, right? Tikki: I do, but my holder doesn't. Plagg: If she declares her love to Cat Noir, something tells me she'll find out soon enough. Tikki: You have nothing to fear. When my holder is in love, she never gets anywhere. She'll just knit hats and make very complicated plans that will never come to fruition. Plagg: Hmm... ah, then everything's fine.

Tikki, I love you, but by the gods! With a mentor like you, Marinette doesn't need enemies to be miserable! Do you care about her at all??? What kind of mentor delights at their mentee's suffering? Not a good one, that's for sure.

*Quick note: I think that Plagg and Tikki are probably neck and neck for who has given the most bad advice, Plagg just feels like the bigger problem because we don't see him as much as we see Tikki. Since she's tied to the main character, Tikki gives advice in almost every episode and most episodes have decent morals.

Adrien's need for good advice can also feel more glaring because he's so isolated and passive. That makes Plagg's lack of good advice feel more harmful, but Marinette is just as isolated from real advice. Her mentor figures - Su Han, Fu, and Tikki - mostly give orders and judgement instead of support and guidance. It's just harder to spot that fact because Marinette is actively trying to do the right thing, meaning that she's more likely to make mistakes, and it's easy to see why she comes across as a lot less pathetic and a lot easier to judge.
