Chloe Bourgeois (Mlb rewrite)

[Note] Hey, hey! I wanted to start rewriting and designing miraculous for the fun of it. Please note that this is just for fun and giggles! I will try to keep the rewrite as close to the show as possible, at the same time I want to put as much of my ideas into it as I can. Also this is probably an angst au, because of my 3 am brainrot.

Chloe Bourgeois

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe. Oh boy where do I start. Chloe could have been such a good character, especially since it was hinted at that she has actual trauma and has to move on from it, but that Astruc had to butcher into..... well what she is at the moment. Tbh, I wouldn't have minded if Chloe was more vile, but the show tried to do this waayyyy to late. So I will try to villanize Chloe and hand her a redemption arc!

Backstory:

Chloe grew up in paris and as far as she knew, her family always had been damaged and she knew it had something to do with her and her 3 years older sister Zoe. Chloe grew up rich and spoiled and up until she was 5 she also had a parental figure. Until her parents divorce.

Suddenly Chloe was alone, surrounded by money, but alone. She knew her sister had done something for her, a sacrifice that saved Chloe in more than one way. She claimed to be the child born out of wedlock.

Chloe's and Zoes mother had been cheating on Andre for years now and through a secret informant he found out that one of his children wasn't his, causing the divorce. Before that he had been a neglectful but I guess you could call it "loving" father.

He demanded to know which of his children wasn't his and told Audrey to leave with her. Audrey didn't remember who was Andre's kid and so Zoe decided to say she wasn't his child, so that Chloe would get the better half of two horrible parents.

Now the five year old Chloe had nothing except money. Her role model was her cheating and manipulative father and a mother who only cared about fame. Chloe would become narcissistic, spoiled, envious, power hungry and manipulative under her father and she acted like it.

Until her father introduced her to Adrien, who would become her friend. In Adrien she saw someone she wanted to protect and cared about, so she thought that was love.

When she was 10 she was introduced to Sabrina in school, who she immediately took as her servant. (Who she secretly cared about) During this time she also realized that inflicting fear gave her power over othersand she decided that picking Marinette as her subject of her bullying would be ideal. Chloe hated Marinette, who had caring parents and always looked so happy. Chloe wanted to see Marinette's smile falter. And while it brought her short lived joy, Chloe always felt empty afterwards, so she decided to do worse things.

It continues on, till season 3, when she finds the bee miraculous. She heard all about lady Bug and since she starts to care more and more about Sabrina, Chloe decides she will also become a secret hero in order to save others. For fame of course. (Keep telling yourself that)

Her Personality:

(Season 1-2)

Narcissistic and self centred. Chloe didn't care about anyone but herself, she had been the person to give herself love for years after all. No one did it for her, so why should she care about anyone else?

Manipulative. Yeah, she got that from her dad. He manipulates and blackmails people for his business, so she does that in school. She uses people's emotions to her advantage and while she doesn't sound like it she is people smart. (If she hadn't been so neglected and had such horrible role models, she could have been a very empathetic person)

Smart. Chloe is not stupid, just lazy. Yes others are forced to do her homework but she still aces every test, like even the teachers are suprised.

Envious. Yes, she is jealous of everyone around her. She wished she had nice parents, she wished she had her older sister, she wished she was good at designing, she wished she was good acting, so Chloe hates everyone who is able to do any of these things.

(Season 3)

BOOM! Redemption arc is starting. During a villain attach Sabrina gets injured and Chloe actually cared! For real! Chloe was devastated, she was crying! She was shocked to notice how powerless she is.

(As Queen bee)

Look, Sabrina's injury is the reason she decided to be a secret hero. This simple thing made Chloe's motive shift from fame, to I actually care.

Quick thinker and level headed. Remember that I said Chloe is smart? Well here all of that comes handy! Queen bee is witty and can point out flaws in lady Bugs plans. She also rarely panics during villain attacks.

Honest and kind. As Queen bee Chloe shows what she kept to herself. She is truthful about her faults as a hero and through a talk with lady Bug she realizes that she and the spotted hero have a few things in common.

Patient and forgiving. Yeah, with the miraculous Chloe is not Chloe anymore. If you saw Queen bee you would doubt she was Chloe, so it is no suprise she is patient and doesn't hold grudges with akumatised victims. You can tell her your whole life story and she will sit there and listen!

(As Chloe)

Chloe doesn't change that much, but you can feel Queen bee bleed into her personality. For example as she is forced to work with Marinette she other hears her speaking with her mum. "Oh? Isn't Chloe the girl you told us about? Glad you finally initiated getting along with her." Chloe knows a lot about people and that is not how parents should react if the bully of their daughter was present. Chloe decides that being nice to Marinette wouldn't hurt.

Chloe shows that she cares about Adrien and sabrina. For the former, through pointing out Marinette's creepy behaviour and for the latter by helping her study and buying her gifts. (According to Chloe: old rags she doesn't need anymore. Ignoring she forgot the price tag)

Happier. Chloe becomes happier more social, less I hate everything and everyone, so yay!

(Season 4-5)

So for the first part of season 4 chloe becomes very gloomy and sad, because she finds out why her sister had to leave and also finds out that she is the child born out of wedlock. Also she is incredibly angry that her father hid the letters Zoe send her from her and almost ruined chloe's chance to ever meet her sister again.

Confident and Sassy. Look, Chloe deserves to be confident and sassy, she is a superhero! And a good one at that, though lady Bug does take the miraculous from her, Chloe gets it back through Zoe!

Hopeful. Yeah, I am revealing way too much plot over here, but one of the side plot lines is that Zoe and Chloe get to talk again, because chloe is handed a letter by Audrey's assistant, which tells her about the other 900 letters- long story short, Zoe comes to paris to battle her father for custody over Chloe and Chloe Hope's she wins!

Mature. Chloe matures, just like all miraculous holders. She stops bullying Marinette and even starts doing her homework herself. She still has drawbacks to her her horrible personality, but she becomes a better person every day.

Drawing:

I'm way to crazy about this design, you might not like it, but I do.

Her every day outfit is simple, but tbh I like the idea that her outfit looks simple, but it's quite littarly all famous brands. I also forgot her glasses which kinda destroys me, but hey.

So for her costume, I based it all around the fact that Chloe is a QUEEN BEE. She isn't just any bee, she is a queen bee. Despite being mean, Chloe is a capable leader.

Well now that this is finished, I'll write Alya next. See you in our next drawting session!^^

I haven’t watched miraculous ladybug in like 1-2 years (probably won’t pick it back up) but I think every kid show fandom should have an obligatory miraculous ladybug au so here’s my version of a fopanw x miraculous ladybug au :333 I got this idea while getting a YouTube video yapping about mlb. Again I haven’t watched it in FOREVER so I do apologize if I get any information wrong!! I really only used the wiki. I hope you enjoy this REALLY LONG info dump <3

Hazel - Ladybug (obviously since she’s the main character 😭) but I feel like she matches well with creation and I’d feel like she’d get along great with tikki. I’d also give her Longg who is the kwami of Perfection, Ziggy who is the kwami of Passion, and Sass who is the kwami of the Intuition.

Antony - Pegasus. My idea for this came from the fact that Kaalki is the kwami of migration. I feel like this matches the with the fact that he’s at to college and that means migrating away from family and your loved ones.

(I’m going to give Winn and Jasmine special treatment and give them multiple miraculous. I hope yall are okay with that ! I feel like Hazel would probably give them multiple anyways because of how much she trusts and cares for her friends.)

Jasmine - My ideas for her include, Miss Hound (who has Barkk, the kwami of adoration), Rena Rouge (who has Trixx, the kwami of illusion), Pigella (who was Daizzi, the kwami of jubilation), and Minotaurox (who has Stompp, the kwami of determination). I feel like the personality traits of the kwami’s match her (except for illusion, which I did to nod to fearless)

(I didn’t include the outfit for the ox kwami because I personally feel like it doesn’t match her vibes)

Winn - My ideas for them include, Carapace (who has Wayzz, the kwami of protection), Vesperia/Queen Bee (who has Pollen, the kwami of action), Purple Tigress (who has Roaar, the kwami of elation), and Bunnyx (who has Fluff, the kwami of evolution). I feel like the personality traits of the kwami’s match them.

Dev - Cat Noir but also I feel like gets akuamatized like every week???? Like I love dev but do you know how many issues he has ☹️😞 I’d be surprised if he didn’t get akuamatized at least once. I feel like he matches destruction too. He’d probably HATE plagg though idk. I could also see him being Rooster Bold (who has Orikko, the kwami of pretension) I feel like pretension matches him a lot idk. He’d gets the miraculous taken away after the finale.

Dale - Hawkmoth for more reasons than one 💀 Gabriel’s story with his wife could also be projected onto Dale and could explain why we don’t see his wife. Also they’re both horrible dads and rich business men

I’m not going to force ships on this AU, it’s honestly your choice! I really don’t mind 😭 this whole universe could either come from a wish, or something where Jorgen and guy who made the miraculous jewelry (probably a fairy), are friends and he runs tests to see which godkid is worthy of being the guardian. In this au, hazel would probably pass all of the tests and thus, making her the guardian.

My friend also brought up that Jorgen could also be the guardian and had to put the miraculous to rest but noticed people getting akuamatized and had to pull them back out and find new heroes which I really like !)

That’s it :D thank you so much for coming to another yap session crossover! I hope you have a great day/night wherever you are in the world!

MLB - Black Swan AU

Many of us are unhappy about how the Agreste household was written and shown. Personally, I dislike how Emilie was said to be a Saint and how she and Amelie were sold as "Best Moms material" while looking at canon facts, it was obviously untrue! There are thankfully plenty of AUs that point this out, I am thinking especially about the "Dad Villain AU" by @bigfatbreak right now (love it <3 )

As for this AU, I chose to do what I did with many aspects of the show in my "Miraculous Team AU": pick what Canon said were true facts and actually make them true. Here are the elements I picked:

Emilie is a good person and a good mother

Gabriel is redeemable and truly loves his son

the Agreste household was stricken by tragedy

Nathalie couldn't have done much more than she did

Felix is a victim that almost became a villain but stopped before it was too late

Now, on with the concept of Black Swan AU!

PART 1

GIF publié par ouiladybug

Emilie and Amelie were born into a prestigious and filthy rich family, the Graham-de-Vanilly. The parents want their twin daughters to be "perfect" at all costs and put monstrous pressure on them.

Emilie hated the life her parents wanted for her, so she decided to emancipate as soon as she could. She became friends with people like her, people her parents called "lecherous" and a "group of misfits" (because they are all LGBTQ+ and some are outcasts). Emilie managed to build her life again by breaking away from her parents. She married Gabriel who had no fortune and no name, and despite their struggles, the two were happy and lived their lives fully.

Meanwhile, Amelie never had the courage or will to rebel. In a way, she found it easier to stay obedient and follow blindly her parents' directions. While she still cared for Emilie, the way her parents kept comparing them and calling her "the good twin", and "a good girl" was slowly becoming addictive and reaching her, making her believe she was indeed better than her sister, deep down. However, her life took a tragic turn after she married. Her husband was an abusive man, and no matter how hard she tried, he was never satisfied.

Probably due to all the stress and abuse, Amelie could not have a child. And because of that, her husband became worse; even her parents took his side and called her unworthy.

Emilie got more and more worried for her sister, whom she had kept contact with. She offered her sister to come live with them, but Amelie refused, she was afraid of divorcing, of disappointing her parents even more. But she agreed to spend some time at her twin's house. Part of Amelie was grateful towards Emilie, but she couldn't help envying what her sister had. Emilie and Gabriel were happily married, and the two had managed to make their own fortune; her only solace was that they had no children, so she thought it meant that Emilie had trouble conceiving too.

After many discussions, Gabriel and Emilie agreed to introduce Tomoe to Amelie. They knew Tomoe had the Peacock Miraculous and had been training to create a child with it, so they thought that maybe it would help Amelie if she kept refusing to leave her husband.

Indeed, Tomoe had managed to get "pregnant", but she lost her sight doing so. The Miraculous was now unstable, so Tomoe warned Amelie about using it. Amelie still took it, even if she was hesitant; she didn't want to become disabled and thus "useless" afterwards.

Back at the Agreste house, Amelie saw a doctor walking out and, morbidly curious, she went and eavesdropped on her sister and brother-in-law's conversation. When she heard that it had just been confirmed to them that Emilie was pregnant, something snapped in her. The fact that they hadn't even planned to have a kid, it just happened, only added salt to the wound. Amelie's repressed anger started to boil, and she became even more bitterly jealous of her sister. How unfair was that? She was the good daughter! So why was Emilie the happy one? Why was her sister getting everything Amelie ever dreamt of?!

Refusing to lose to her sister, Amelie decided to use the Miraculous of the Peacock. But instead of using it herself, she gave it to her husband so he would suffer any consequences, not her. To her great (hidden) joy, his health started deteriorating as her pregnancy got to term. Felix was born, and Amelie was finally praised for birthing a healthy baby boy.

Wishing to get rid of any evidence in case her husband were to die, Amelie decided to give the Miraculous to Emilie, since this kind of magic object was one of her passion. On the day Amelie went to visit Emile with Felix to drop the Miraculous, she saw Adrien for the first time. Then her jealousy erupted like a volcano, driving her to madness.

Adrien felt so real, contrary to Felix who was way too calm and unmoving. Gabriel was a loving husband and father, contrary to Colt... Emilie had everything while she had nothing. It didn't feel right, it wasn't the right order of things! Amelie was the good daughter, she was meant to be rewarded for that!!

Insane with rage, Amelie transformed and used the twin rings to create sentimonsters; the sentis hypnotized both Emilie and Gabriel so Amelie could switch places with her sister. Emilie, now convinced she was Amelie, went to London with Felix while Amelie took her place in the Agreste household.

In the following years, Amelie made herself the centre of Gabriel and Adrien's world. Adrien was easy to manipulate because he was a child and couldn't remember his real mother at all. However, Gabriel was more difficult; she especially got scared when Emilie came back to visit them with Felix. The two lovers almost broke out of her grip. Amelie had to use the Peacock powers to keep the hypnosis working, not realizing she was getting ill because of the damaged Miraculous until it was too late. She turned Emilie and Gabriel against each other, going harder on Gabriel so he would despise - even hate - his "sister-in-law".

Amelie's hold on Gabriel had become so strong that she didn't even need to use the Miraculous at some point, she had reached her goal. Gabriel was head-over-heels for "her", she was his muse and relished seeing all the paintings and statues of herself around the house; and Adrien loved his "mother" dearly, more than his father. Neither Adrien or Gabriel knew that "Emilie" was keeping them apart, abusing them whilst making Gabriel the strict parent figure. And when she understood she was dying, Amelie made Gabriel swear to bring her back, manipulating him until she fell into a coma.

Meanwhile, Emile held on as Amelie, doing her best to survive and raise the one she believed was her son and cherished him. And when Colt died, she didn't grieve him long. She was more focused on her child, wishing to give him full agency and freedom of will.

Most of the following events stay the same, until "Amelie" and Felix come to visit on "Emilie's day of disappearance anniversary". "Amelie" asked for the twin rings, pointing out that it was a family treasure and that she never understood why her sister, who had left the family decades ago, took them with her and even used them as wedding rings. Gabriel, of course, got angry in answer and refused to give them back; Felix, wishing to make his mother happy, went with his plan to make a mess. "Amelie" was very defensive of her son in front of Gabriel, but she still chastised him when she heard what happened. Felix still snaffled Gabriel's ring in the end and gave it to his mother.

From then on, "Amelie" started to have strange memories resurfacing.

Reverse AU: The Good Guys

Fiona is the Ladybug for this AU. Haven't come up with a name for her yet.

Blake is the Chat Noir for this AU. Also doesn't have a hero name yet.

They stay platonic though. Fiona's still got something going on with Keagan. While Blake sees Fiona as even more like a sister to him since he got separated from Blair and Fiona is the most sister coded person he's stuck with for prolonged periods of time.

It doesn't help that they started off as a team of four with the Aurelio cousins dropping in as an akuma and as a Butterfly rather than as a duo, so their relationship never got to be as intimate as ShizuBlair's version of the LadyNoir partnership.

Keagan is still kind of an investigative reporter. However, there's now more emphasis on him being the rich mayor's son. He pretends to be a dumb hedonistic party guy with no talent for fencing. Little do the Supreme know, he's Lorelei's go-to combat akuma and is a hacker for the Resistance.

Lorelei is the big good, current head of the Resistance. She descended from a long line of people running the Resistance, all the way back to Adrinette.

Initially, it was just her, a few of her friends (her husband who died so she could escape with her secrets, Mrs. Liung and grandma Hisui), her son Leo, and her nephew Keagan who found a way to contact them discreetly.

Fiona joined in, lead to the group by Keagan. Keagan was initially just trying to convince Fiona to stay away from certain people so her family doesn't get pocketed by the Supreme (like his is) or worse, recruit her (like a certain bodyguard keeping tabs on him). He's doing what he could to prevent the Supreme from getting any more powerful.

But one thing led to another and Lorelei decides this girl had what it takes to be the next Ladybug (instead of her son, whom she'd rather stay safe and away from the front lines as the next Butterfly).

Blake joined in a couple of years before Fiona. Its cause he overheard Mrs. Liung talking to Lorelei, who can't get in contact with the rising model Blair. They can't reach her no matter how many strings they pulled, which is really saying something as one was a former celebrity and the other is the mayor's sister-in-law. They suspect the Supreme had something to do with it. This is why Blake joined the Resistance.

Mrs. Liung couldn't talk him out beyond getting trained first before jumping into the field. There's that and the Supreme tried to get rid of them and framed it as the Resistance's doing, so now they had no choice but to fight back and hidevwith the resistance.

Mr. and Mrs. Crawford were also members of the Resistance until they got caught and were snuffed out... yeah, Blake has plenty of reasons to be angry at the Supreme here and its why he's a bigger grouch in this au than in the main mlb au.

Grandma Hisui (real name: Haruji Tate) was one of the kids the Resistance saved from the Supreme, hence, why the Turtle Miraculous is with them. She left her daughter behind in Japan thinking she'd be safe there. Little did she know, the Supreme had influence there too, through the Tsurugis.

Some people are helping the Resistance but not on a regular basis. The Hale Clinic patches them up during the period when they didn't have a Ladybug. The Guerreros were one of the few rich families who heeded their warning and saw how horrible a deal with the Supreme is. So in gratitude, they let them hide in their property owned by their real estate business. Talia and Damien, being from those families the resistance helped, helps them out whenever they could.

Vincent Liung may be the turtle in this AU, trained by Hisui.

That's about it on everyone actively supporting the Resistance for now.

MINIFIC: Oct. 23: Day 1: Autumn (MLB, Lukanette, DLM AU)

...I was gonna do these, and then I wasn't gonna do em, and then work life flipped off creative life and here I am, joining the fun at @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers's late. Using the Ghostober 2021 prompts here. Just having fun. 👀

To Feel Alive Again: Day 1: Autumn

A chill breeze whispered through the street, nipping at the edges of exposed skin peeking out from coats and scarves.  Marinette pulled her own coat – a lumpy, gray thing she had lifted off a reap a few weeks back – and tried not to scowl.

She used to love this time of year.  Before.

The changing of the seasons meant a new wardrobe.  Layers of material, vibrant splashes of color, boots and hats and scarves – so many accessories.  She used to have the cutest peacoat, made from a deep burgundy wool that always kept her warm on the coldest fall days.  She had embroidered a swirl of leaves around the hem in a rich gold thread, and she had even found golden buttons shaped like maple leaves to line the front.  She had been so proud of that coat.  She’d lived in it every fall for years.

…she hadn’t died in it, though.

She’d died in the spring.

When it was too warm for such a heavy coat.

She supposed it was funny, in a way.  Before, the fall – a season marked by death – had always brought a new life to her, but the spring – the season for life and renewal – had brought with it her death.

Now she saw it everywhere.

It was hard to love things anymore.  In the After.

“You’re still allowed to love things,” Théo had said, not unkindly, one morning over breakfast.  It was a rare moment of seriousness for him, and if she hadn’t been in such a foul mood she might have appreciated it.  Instead, she hunkered down deeper in the gray coat she hated and stared – glared – out the window.  She hummed, not really agreeing or disagreeing.  She didn’t see the way Luka glanced up at her from his coffee, a small frown playing at the edges of his mouth.

She did see the large, chunky sweater folded on the foot of her bed when she came home a week later, though.

“…Fred, what…did you leave this here?” she called, her hands trembling as she held the sweater up.  It was obviously handmade – not as good as she could make, but absolutely perfect in its little imperfections.  The stitches pulled just a little too tight or a little too loose, the slightly uneven ribbing along the neck, the braiding that hadn’t been blocked properly zigzagging down the front…it spoke of time, and care, and things Marinette hadn’t let herself think about in far too long.  And it was soft, the yarn used to make it obviously high quality.  She knew just how much a sweater like this would cost – more than she could dream of affording these days, when she was still struggling to hold down an after-death job.

“Hmm?” Fred called, popping his head in the room.  When he saw the sweater, his eyebrows lifted.  “Ah, that?  No, it wasn’t me.  Luka dropped it off while you were out.  Said something about pink suiting you?”

Marinette’s head jerked up, surprised, but Fred was just smiling at you.

“You’re still allowed to love things, Marinette,” he said, inclining his head towards her.  “You’re still allowed to feel.”

She looked back at the sweater, her lips pursed and her eyes burning with tears she refused to shed, and didn’t answer.  Fred sighed and flipped his hat onto his head, nodding at her.

“I’m off,” he said, tipping his hat at her.  “Make sure you eat tonight, kid, all right?

…he probably hadn’t meant a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of macarons, but as she hunkered down in the nicest sweater she had ever worn and watched her old favorite sappy movie on the cracked tv…well.

At least when you’re dead you don’t have to worry about calories.

The Umbrella Scene Redux in the NYC special wasn’t about Adrien falling for Marinette but a foreshadowing of the importance of friendship going onward

Adrien’s pain lies not in unrequited love, but projecting his abandonement issues onto Ladybug

A small but heartfelt declaration to adrigami

When you have to make your characters repeatedly insist that someone is so totally in love, it’s not coming across as totally convincing to your audience

tl;dr I suspect that the reason marichat is so popular and ladrien is correspondingly disliked is about gender roles, actually

On marichat and ladrien and romance tropes

No really, ladrien is stupid and that’s why I love it

The Reveal is supremely unlikely to happen before the deciding battle against Gabriel and if it does, they won’t get together before it anyway

MLB’s got a bit of a genre problem and that’s why the plot cannot ever move

Chloé is the Loki of the MLB fandom and given how much attention the show proper gave her compared to the rest of the secondary cast, Thomas Astruc has no right to be surprised about it

Chloé can’t be Queen Bee again before she realises that she doesn’t need to be Queen Bee to do good things

More Chloé analysisin’: An irredeemable character wouldn’t need a three-episode storyline to explain her reluctant fall for the villain

Some people finding the sentiadrien narrative a healing parable about emotional abuse does not stop it from functionally annulling the actual emotional abuse the show depicted

Scarabee and Kitty Claw Au [movie special]

The au belongs to @a-chlolix-blog with the idea just randomly popped out of my mind.

I just gonna give it a try about my Shanghai sketch based on their SB and KC au, if you reading this @a-chlolix-blog , I love your au and hope this can be the first au base special.

So let's begin.

Take place earlier into season 2, around post Befana after Marinette got the Dragon miraculous.

Alot of things change in the Shanghai special with some detailed that the next mlb au tales will be needed.

-Like the beginning of the movie, Gabriel researched about the prodigious and the Chinese legends, he then send both Adrien and Chloe to their with him (With audrey permission too).

-Hearing that, Chloe tranform into Kitty Claw and inform Scarabee that she will have to move away from Paris. Similar with Stallion star.

-On the other hand, Alix's family also have an invitation to Shanghai for a ancient sculptures which is also related to Hawkmoth/ Gabriel plans. The villain requesting for Alim to go into the old kung-fu school and find the secret prodigious.

-Alix who knew something wouldn't gone well so she give Kitty Claw an alarms cat with four buttons, one for each heroes (Scarabee, Kitty Claw, Stallion and Draconia). They also have the similar type of doll but all represent their heroes indentity.

-After Befana, Gina question if Marinette want to visited her uncle, who now famous with his signature soup (Kung-food) and pay a visit to her mother home country.

-The girl worried about the money as her parents and Gina told they will take care of that. She agree.

-4 of them all went to Shanghai with 2 side not no the other appearance.

[Alix inform Marinette and they were in one group.]

[Chloe and Adrien go as a group]

[They forgot to tell each other. Mostly Chloe being rage at her mother for sending her to Shanghai, Alix did told them but didn't told about her destination. Similar to Marinette who begin to late.]

~

All of them arrive at Shanghai.

Marinette noticed Adrien and Chloe

Alix spotted a strange girl.

Fei who secretly steal people stuff

(Fei past still be the same in this Au's)

Feeling unusual, Longg and Tikki warn each other through their owner pigtails, as the crowded become big, splitting them up. Fei take her opportunity to appoarch the rich kid group, as she immediately pause and take a turn due to Adrien's bodyguard.

Due to Alix height she been cut off from Marinette (being pulled away by those bullied), her father and Gabriel were having a meeting (carefully since Gabriel will spoiled his identity without caution).

-Hey little girl? Lost from your parents?

-Shut the fuck up or I will spit out Arabic you fucking perverted.

Before they get to shove her, Jalil having a siblings radar and sense a dangerous things so he bolted to her place and punch the heck out of the guy. (1 out of 5 being eliminated)

-Luckily those boxing lesson with Nora seems useful for this type of situation.

Marinette from no where appear, crushing the other two. (3 out of 5 being eliminated)

A girl sudden appear (Fei) beaten the other one, with Alix totally smacking the last one hard in his nuts. (all of them being eliminted. Victory)

-Alix! Are you okay? Did they SA you?! Do you need me to push them down the river behind you?

Jalil worried, Marinette about to crushed them, while that happends, Fei sneakingly stole Marinette choker, which Longg felt a bad feelling before freezed when they knew something wrong was happended, they been suck into the choker, later on being put into the pink purse.

Chloe and Adrien sees the scene, run to, the blondie who watched Alix flipping off the male that two times her side having butterflies inside her stomache. Adrien also recognized Marinette martial talented which she leared from her mother.

Fei assited Alix up since the girl just fell to knock out the guy, while helping dust off, she slyly take the earring, but only got one as Chloe called out Alix name.

-Hey SHORTIE!!!!

Fei tense up and get away with one earring and a choker with some stuff from Marinette pocket. She later on give to Cash who bargain her a small price. Since Alix left out only an earring, Tikki being reannounced into it as well as Longg. Chloe happily reunited with Alix.

The group united and splitted out again, Alix with her family at the exhibition, Adrien and Chloe at the fashion (to which Chloe didn't have any pleased to be here), Marinette got lost into the main street.

Marinette and Fei scenario recreated, but with Longg be able to exit the necklace and witness the scene between Fei and Cash, they then pick up the earing the moment Fei switched between the choker.

Marinette lost her believe in Fei and run away, Longg stopped explained the problems. They then encounter a ruin school.

Back at the Kubdel family, Alix was in the school with her dad and brother, without knowing they accidently open the secret door. Hawkmoth show up as they all ran away. Alim and Jalil being protective as Alix find it hard to transform both for her lost earring and the family supervise.

The pink hair girl have no choice as pressed and call out the other hereos, whom both transform and arrive at the school, Marinette already there with Longg so she asked Longg to return the earing quickly, they did as Alix be able to transform.

Fei catched up on Marinette so she been delayed her transform, they heard a noise so go in and investigate.

The prodigious and Hawkmoth scene still remain as canon but with Draconia and Stallion, Fei able to use the amulet yet unable to become the dragon. Cash attack in his akumatized form, later on the statue, which wiped off both Hawkmoth and 1/50 the population of Shanghai.

Draconia encouraged Fei; Stallion, Scarabee and Kitty Claw fight agaisnt the statue, which also wiped off both Stallion and Kitty Claw, Scarabee have a panic attack, Draconia become stress as de-trasform (already use all her elements) in the corner of the building.

The statue blast off the corner, Marinette fell, Fei turn into a dragon and save her.

Understanding her power, she team-up with Scarabee and Draconia and defeated the statue, also become the true prodigious. Stallion return with Kitty Claw, Scarabee pulled the cat into a hug which make her blushed hardly and hug back (with a kiss).

Fei being ask to worked in Marinette uncle restaurant, Alix and Chloe hang out a bit, and everything sovles.

~~~~~

Cut off from the canon, this is the au post ending for the next Scarabee and Kitty Claw movie that I think off - relted to Vietnam so I could write about Kim and more Chloix romance. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

At the end, while everyone packing up to returned, Fei receive an mysterious letter, in which the owner of it would recover fully her kung0fu with a special sponsor. The renlings then told her to get back at the place where she met Mei Shi, only to found a water pouring fountain with weird symbol crossing over it.

Later on, after left and went out, Fei meet an old man who resemble almost identical her adoptive father and an old woman.

"Who are you?"

"You wouldn't want to knew me yet LadyDragon, or I may say the new holder of the Chinese prodigious."

"We're here to tell you about the power that you're holding as it also related to your country"

Fei baffle look at the couple before been warn by the renlings, however Mei Shi didn't seem to bother as it come out, to most of Fei shocked, the couple look normal over the spirit like creature.

"Fei, from what I sense, these two are the last vigilante prodigious master. They have a protection aura that only myself can sense it"

The girl worried as willing to be in defence stance, but on what the spirit said, she soften and greeted. They acquaint about her future destination as well as the water fountain symbol.

"If Scarabee and Kitty Claw call out, don't hesitate and fly to their place. We won't be here for long afterward, let's hope all great things happen to you"

yeah, so the next au special gonna take place 1 year after in Vietnam since Miraculous have a few hints in that country, such as Kim's origins and one of the Ladybug holder from there too. I do not knowing when the series will told about it so I wanna make my own headcanon and fic about that with Chlolix shipped

Love yall and have a great day :3

[briiettapv]

Feligette/Felinette in the Rich Kids AU Concept I made a while ago :D

The concept being Bri/Marinette moving to a whole new school filled with a crap ton of stereotypes.

Felix leads a group called the ‘QK’s (Quantic Kids) and they are kind of against another popular group in the school,called the RKs (Rich Kids lol) Featuring Chloe, Adrien, and GDV.

Felix agrees to let Mari join his group just so she can get closer to Adrien. But as you can see, things don’t go as planned. 💕

[minnesota-fats]

Also its okay that the DP x JL x MLB isn't your cup of tea, so whenever I ask about what I'll call the Halfa-Siblings au ( heh ) it'll just be in the JL x DP world.

With that out of the way, I was reading reading family reunions but at the worst time au, and I wondered about how that must had went down in the Dark Dan timeline 😬.

Because despite being willing to kill his own family and friends again to ensure his existence, I'm sure when Dan found out that his bio dad was Bruce Wayne, he was stunned because to him, Jack is his dad, full stop. And Maddie isn't the type to cheat, how how did this happen?

Also, if he found out as a late teen, then he might jump to the wrong conclusions and because of bad experiences with Vlad, thinks that Bruce could have taken advantage of Maddie, since he is a powerful rich man and then gave his family hush money, and if they complained, who will believe them?

*The part that got Vlad's intelligence thought that maybe he could be a baby from an open relationship but that thought never took root because despite being evil, there are things not even Supervillians want to think about what goes on in their parents bedroom, thank you very much*

And the JL would have tried to stop Dan at one point since he's causing so much damage and getting more powerful, so a fight had to happen( and they probably either lost horribly or even died, ) Dan finds out about Bruce being Batman because that tech is expensive and he'll need money and connected the dots, and blows up at him, revealing that he is his long lost son that he never even cared about and how he treated his mother like a used toy.

If Dan did kill Bruce with the League, the Batfam, including Damian would tried to get revenge. Dan sees they he has a younger half-brother and goes ballistic and yeah I don't see that ending well for them either.

Maybe Damian did get away and he was leading some resistance out there, and he and Dan despite knowing their blood bond, hate each others guts.

What do you think went down during that Father-Son confrontation? And what did the Dark Dan timeline Bruce think about Dan, and then finding out that's his son?

—I made a short bit of how i would write that interaction cuz I couldn’t help myself cuz I LOVE angst at the best of times!—

Dan held the man by the throat and glared up at him, teeth bared, “what do you have to say for yourself?” Bruce—even while being held like this—looked down at Dan with sad eyes. He was confused and in pain and this young man who was going to kill him was another son he knew nothing about. “I asked you a question, old man!” Dan growled, tightening his grip ever so slightly.

Bruce gargled before finding his voice, “I’m. Sorry.” He says softly, “I didn’t know about you. If I did I would have done everything in my power to have met you…” Bruce’s vision began to blur, “I failed you, son….”

Dan stares up at Bruce, eyes wide and full of dangerous human emotions. But it didn’t last long, Dan throws Bruce onto the ground and puts his foot on his head. Dan looks up at Bruce’s family and smiles wickedly before putting pressure on the man’s skull and crushing it beneath his foot. The screams of anguish that came from his so-called siblings was music to his ears.

How dare they live here and be happy while I had to suffer, how dare they call him a monster when the world made him this way! Dan stalked forward like a wild animal walking up to its corner mes prey. “Now what to do with you brats?” He asked, looking at all of them bound by his ecto energy.

Unknown to Dan however, Jason managed to free himself and was working on freeing Damien. But in typically Damien fashion, the kid jumps up and tries to attack Dan. Dan sidesteps the kid and smirks when he hears the other bat kids gasp and shout for Damien to just run away. Dan picks the kid up by the scruff of his robin suit and growls when he can’t see the kid's eyes. He rips off the kids domino mask, expecting fear. But he froze when he saw looking up at him with big green emerald eyes so much hatred. even with tears falling like waterfalls Damien glared at him. Frozen in that moment, Dan could only look at this kid. So similar to him—his human half— lost so much in a single day and it was only going to get worse from here on out.

Jason took the opportunity to rush forward and deck Dan in the face, causing him to drop Damien. In one fluid motion Jason houists Damien onto his shoulder and runs out of there. The whole time Damien cursed and demanded to go back, calling Jason a coward and screaming at how he was going to kill Dan. Dan smiled and watched them go, Dan had made a decision and he was excited to see how this would play out. But for now he turned to look at the remainder of the bat clan and smiled a fanged grin before he began ripping into them like a wild animal.

—

This whole scenario gives me JLD: Apokolips War vibes! If you haven’t seen it I recommend it! Its about the JL fighting Darkside and losing and the whole movie takes place after a two year timeskip where Constantine and the remaining JL band together to fight Darkside.

But if you dont like gore dont watch it! Its SUPER dark and there are many on screen deaths, such as: Nightwing getting impaled protecting Damien, Koriand’r getting ripped in half and so on!

(It also has Dami throwing Dick into the Lazarus Pit and it not working like it did for Jason and Dick comes back wrong and insane!)

Anyway, moving on!

—

Damien resents Jason and will call him a coward for the rest of his life.

Jason couldn’t care less, he was just glad he was able to save one of his siblings.

Damien will try and run off on his own but Jason isn’t far behind.

After the fall of humanity they are left in the wreckage until they find Amity Park the last city still standing, protected by a tall shield that northern Jason or Damien could get through.(because of the Lazarus pit)

Valerie and Damien bond over losing people they care about (he doesn’t tell her that mother he nor his brother can’t go through the shield after she explained that Dan couldn’t get in because he was a ghost)

Damien and Jason decide that they will go around the world to see if they can find any survivors and bring them back to Amity Park.

Jason becomes a better big brother and takes care of Damien (similar to how Jazz took care of Danny)

They meet Vlad who almost has a heart attack cuz Damien and Danny look so similar.

Dan appears and asks how his toys are doing (because he is creepy like that!)

Damien tries to kill him again but is yeeted into a wall and Dan leaves cackling.

Vlad tells his story

Damien nearly beats the shit out of him before Jason can stop him

Vlad believes he deserves it and moves on

Vlad offers them some weapons that work against ghosts

They take them cuz yay weapons!

Vlad helps supe up their suits with ghost tech like Valerie’s suit and makes an ecto dampener so they can go into Amity through the portal.

—10 years later—

Amity Park falls and Damien, Valerie, and Jason are all that’s really left.

Past Danny comes to the future to stop Dan and he meets Damien (who almost kills him but is stopped by Valerie when she finds out phantom is danny)

Damien explains that they are half brothers which throws Danny for a loop.

Meets Vlad again who nearly cries when he sees Danny. (Danny clocks him in the face and Jason is like, “I like this kid”)

Damien and Danny bond over fighting ghosts. Damien actually starts to like Danny as a brother

Danny finds out that he is technically the older brother and is like “I’m an older brober!” And Damien tells him to shut up and Jason and Valerie laugh! Cuz holy shit Dami is a baby!!!

When Danny is about to go back in time and Damien pulls him aside and is like “it was nice knowing you kid! But if you fail I’m gonna go back in time myself and kick your ass!”

Danny hugs him and Jason, and promises that he wouldn’t.

Then some happy bittersweet sibling banter and Damien warning Danny that if he ever meets Damien like, “bother be warned, if you ever meet me in the past, he will most likely try and kill you.”

Danny laughs thinking it’s a joke and Jason is like, “no seriously! He was raised by assassins for the first 10 years of his life.”

And Danny gets sent back to the past with SO MANY QUESTIONS! Like what the hell

Danny will have a heart to heart with his mom, calming that he just had a feeling and she will then explain everything to him (including his parents open relationship)

And Danny wanting to meet Damien and Jason again goes to meet his bio dad because he wants to be a good big brother!

(This is just a random thought but what if future Damien and Jason are brought back in time too and are tasked by clockwork to look after Dan in the GZ as the more human than ghost protector’s, just a fun thought!)

[gardenergulfie]

so i added joey to my silly lil mlb hero au he's the chloe to katherine's adrien but a better character. he and kat are childhood best friends and his infatuation with katherine is stemmed from a "oh im a boy shes a girl and we like each other a lot and enjoy each others company so we must be married and in love yes" and katherine doesnt really have the heart to tell joey shes not interested thinking "oh i'll reciprocate eventually" like these two got heavy comphet goin on eventually katherine realises her feelings for shrub though and tells joey and hes like "oh if thats the case i guess i shouldnt pursue you anymore good luck with winning shrub's heart tho" and the next day everyone is absolutely bewildered how joey went from declaring his definitely real love for katherine every 5 minutes to "oh no we're just friends now" and shrub probably tries to explain to him that's not how crushes work at some point

but when he's not a civilian is a night time rascal, sometimes a vigilante that does the right thing in the end but sometimes he causes problems On Purpose bc like his childhood best friend he has the rich kid urge to be rebellious. I debated wether or not to use his s1 or s2 character for his night time sona but then i opted for s2, he's a pirate themed anti-hero and when he gets corrupted by xornoth he's parrot themed it fits yes.

also around the first-ish meeting he and katherine's hero sonas meet, he's under the impression that she's flirting with him and he's like "excuse me sir im very flattered but i have a girlfriend" and kat was Not Flirting at all, she's very confused but also feeling a bit gender affirmed anyways then he turns around sees Xornoth and proceeds to have homoerotic tension with him and katherine is even more confused

OH THATS VERY GOOD FOR HIM LOL MY SILLY!!

[a-chlolix-blog]

AU where Chloe was abandoned in London when she was 10 cause Audrey took her there during a business trip and didn't bat an eye when Chloe was nowhere to be found. Cue Amelie and her husband took her in and took care of her. So when Amelie's husband died the Graham De Vanily family decides to move to Paris to heal. They moved around the time of Volpina which caused Lila to be shadowed of the arrival of two rich kids so her lies didn't have a chace to be spat out.

Chloe has the Falcon Miraculous and Felix the Pelican or the Peacock Miraculous cause bird themed hero siblings lol. And they know martial arts and Felix is a smart bastard so Hawkmoth better watch out.

This will be kinda interesting since Chloe and Felix are heroes with more fighting experience and arrived alongside Volpina who is an akuma pretending to be a hero.

And I really like the Chloe and Felix sibling relationship thing which is more fun than Chloe-Adrien.

Felix is smart and good fighter even without the miraculous considering he fought three akumas alone and figured out Hawkmoth's identity.

In a fight Felix and Chloe are better than Ladybug and Chat Noir since the other two knows martial arts and is used to their miraculouses by now so in a fight Ladybug and Chat Noir will lose.

And Chlolix.

Love everything about this one!

This AU's new called "Graham de Vanily Siblings"

From the info we're given about London in the MLB world is that there aren't really there, but there are super spies. So maybe they'll have gadgets similar to Miraculous?

They'd totally be an Anti-Hero Duo for sure!

Amilie would totally give them spy tools to defend themselves against Akuma Attacks... only for Chloé and Félix to willingly go AFTER said akumas!

Adrien would've totally missed Chloé over tbe years.

Félix would TOTALLY tease Chloé about her crush on Alix!

I can see both Gabriel and Audrey getting dunked on by these two!

I need the @ of the person who came up with this idea. It's so good!

[whocalledhimannux]

hello my friends it's time for another wildly self-indulgent AU, based on the fact that I spent several hours tonight with two windows open on my laptop, one showing Queen's Thief fic and the other showing the Philadelphia Phillies absolutely crushing the Reds:

Q T B A S E B A L L AU

featuring Eugenides as a hotshot player who is a rediciulous thief of bases (if u click on that link, take moment to pray for Roman Quinn's achilles 😢), incredible speed, no one can touch him, if he gets on base he will be scoring...

...until noted Absolute Asshole Nahuseresh "accidentally" steps on his hand with sharpened cleats (for the grip! he had no idea they would be dangerous! shocked and apalled and apologetic, really!) and causes nerve damage bad enough that Eugenides is more or less forced into an early retirement, reigniting the old Eddisian Griffins-Attolian Lilies rivalry with a vengeance

Helen is the manager (main coach) of the Griffins (she played baseball on teams with her brothers as a kid) and Irene is the owner of the Lilies

a year later, during the off-season, Irene and Eugenides elope, she hires him as the manager for the Lilies, and trades Nahuseresh while making it clear it's not about his playing, which is good, but because he's an absolute asshole. all of this happens in like a week and sports media goes BUCK WILD.

Dite is a very precocious pitcher, Sejanus is a shortstop. Eugenides trades both of them just under the trade deadline because he suspects Erondites is doing some shady Black Sox shit behind the scenes

Sophos is a pretty inconsistent player when he's younger and it's openly speculated he only makes it into professional ball because of nepotism--ironically, once his uncle loses a shit ton of money in a business takeover and has to sell the team to [random rich owner, idk], he really hits his stride and is called up from the minors to play for a major league team under the guidance of the Magus, who is his manager. he's a center fielder. drove his father nuts in his youth because he was always daydreaming instead of paying attention to the ball.

fun side note: like Sophos, I have a scar on my lip that alters my smile. I got mine when a softball glanced off my glove and hit me in the face, and my lip got caught in my braces. so I like to think he gets an injury in this AU in a similar way, lol.

I haven't thought this through for all of them, because it's midnight and I can't be doing this for hours, but major King's Guard/Attendants are Lilies players, cousins/major Eddisians are Griffins, etc. I'm de-aging some of them to make it fit.

MoW (is it weird that's still my default for him?) is a base coach, Ornon is a long-suffering umpire

Teleus is captain of the Lilies and their catcher (for non-baseball fans, the catcher does a lot of directing during the game--helping pitchers choose which pitch to throw, helping to decide if fielders should move back or move in or cover certain gaps)

he does get into a shouting match with Eugenides at one point, on the field, and again, sports media goes BUCK. WILD. the Lilies have so many good unwritten rules/bench-clearing/wtf-just-happened moments during this time.

as a player Eugenides defied a couple of the unwritten rules--he was not shy about bunting or stealing bases whenever tf he wanted to, for example. he dodged a lot of intentional hits from pitchers but he was too damn charming for the fans to be really mad at him

Relius is their general manager at first, the guy in charge of numbers and trades and negotiating. he's kicked out after a scandal but Irene ends up keeping him around. he starts to actually attend games in a private box and watch instead of schmoozing and rediscovers his love for the game.

oooooh I kind of like the idea of most of the attendants being pitchers. pitchers are sort of divas and teams have like 10+ and fans of Certain Teams experience a LOT of exasperation over their pitchers' inconsistent performance (not that I would ever ever point to any specific team and the fact that Lilies rhymes with Phillies means absolutely nothing)

Costis is the first baseman (because TALL) and has a killer batting average, is v close with Aris who plays second base, and kinda sorta accidentally becomes the first out MLB player when he gets caught making out with Kamet after winning the home run derby. oops.

Teleus, who has been successfully avoided winning that title for years, mocks him ruthlessly (although he does have a Glenn Burke kind of deal where his teammates know but keep it private)

Kamet has relatively little interest in sports and there is a lot of online complaining about the fact that he openly grades papers/works on other stuff during games, but hey, this PhD isn't going to earn itself. he does pay attention to Costis's at-bats, though, and gets more invested in the games as he gets to know other players better--he also eventually reveals that he's got a mean head for stats, even if he doesn't feel the need to be watching every second of every game. there are 162 of them for each team and they go on for 4 hours, okay? give him a break.

dear god, I don't even know exactly where Pheris fits in (once he's like. an adult.) but please take a moment to scroll through this page of commonly tracked baseball statistics and appreciate how much Pheris would lose his mind over this game

WAIT no I've got it, Relius becomes the scouting director for the Lilies and Pheris works with him. Moneyball.

the equivalent of the fighting the guards scene at the end of KoA is one day Eugenides is running a practice with the team and lets Laecdomon (one of the pitchers, doomed to be traded soon after) goad him into stepping in the batter's box. Laecdomon goes between strikes and balls that come VERY close to hitting him, including one that almost beans him in the head, but Eugenides manages to hit the ball even with his bad hand, fuckin' zooms around the bases while the team fumbles and commits multiple errors trying to stop him, and leaps over Teleus at home to score.

ok I spent an hour typing this up when I should have been sleeping lmao, but I have written two other baseball AUs for two other fandoms (as a contributing writer/brainstormer for one, tbf) and I am totally down to talk more about this concept if there are other QT baseball fans out there

[my-miraculous-headcanons]

Honestly I'd PAY you to expand as much as you can on that concept mlb. I think I love it more than the show itself just from that one post. And if you end up expanding the idea are you going to delve into closest friends like Alya and Nino or Claude, Alan and Allegra and civilian "enemies" like Chloé and Lila?

Ahhh, Claude, Alan, and Allegra. Better known as the Quantic Kids, and would have been superhero companions for Ladybug and Chat Noir.

Man do I love their concepts. There was Sparrow, Melodie, and Mercury, although they later replaced Sparrow with Kid Mime, since they had quite a bit of love for the Mime’s power.

And Mercury also seemed to have been a replacement for the other concept of Alan’s alter-ego, Gavroche.

Gavroche seemed to be the inspiration for Nino’s turtle costume later on, but the character itself doesn’t seem to have the same theme or powers. Gavroche doesn’t seem to have the same theme and powers as Mercury either. 

In my Concept AU, I would probably agree with the scrap of Sparrow, especially since he now seems to be an American hero in the current ML universe, and stick with Kid Mime. However, I love Gavroche’s hero design more than I like Mercury’s. I’d say I’d keep Gavroche’s design and Mercury’s power set, mix those two together and use that for my concept verse. (Which makes sense to me, since Mercury’s power is speed but his design makes him look more like he’s an electricity based hero.) 

They’re a pretty solid, unified group.

Claude seems to be the most boisterous of the Quantic Kids, which is ironic given his hero theme. But his wild hand gestures and movement as he talks fits with his theme. He likes to tell a story with more than just his voice. 

Allegra is a rather calm and sophisticated. She’s the kind of gal who’s poise, but willing to break those stereotypical rich lady barriers around her friends. She’ll sit wrong on a chair and relax around her friends in a way she wouldn’t at home. 

Alan seems pretty chill. He’s the kind of person who knows how to relax and take a breather. Similar to Nino in that he clearly has a love for music, considering the headphones around his neck. He seems quieter but almost as physically expressive as Claude. 

As for where Claude, Alan, and Allegra place as friends for the main duo, I’d say yes, they’re friends with Marinette and Adrien. They may not be friends with Marinette’s other friend group, however, but that’s fine.

Alya and Nino still exist in the concept verse, as well. Nino I can see being Alan’s brother— possibly twin. Alya, well, she does actually show up in the older concept art, actually. 

She and Marinette still seem to be friends. But, Alya seems to be a lot different from the Alya we know and love in the current show. This Alya seems to have more common interests with Marinette in comparison to current Alya— She’s carrying around a bunch of shopping bags and wears a pair of sunglasses on top of her head, something about her just makes you think she’s a fashion lover, right?

And I’m not wrong. 

Concept Alya IS a fan of fashion, just like Marinette. I think the difference between the two is while Alya loves fashion, she’s not so much into fashion design. Clearly, that’s more Marinette’s thing— She’s the one taking notes right now, after all. Alya’s recording instead.

If we’re gonna mix Concept Alya with Current Alya, I’d say this Alya has a popular fashion blog, and might co-run it with Marinette since the two are both obviously big fashion fans. 

As for Concept Chloé, I think she may actually help out on that front. I can’t say much for Lila, since I don’t think there’s any concept art of her from this far back, but Concept Chloé definitely has enough content of her for me to say that she was probably not intended to be such a pain in Marinette’s backside.

In the fashion show image, Concept Chloé is sitting right next to Marinette and even placing a hand on Marinette’s arm while they stare at the catwalk in awe. They certainly don’t seem like enemies here. They seem like close friends, if anything. 

If we’re going to mix Concept Chloé with Current Chloé, her design would be more in line with this:

Fashionable, still got that sassy attitude, clearly would judge people with a single look, but also modest and nice enough that she could be really good friends with Marinette— possibly rivals, too. 

Chloé in my concept verse is not going to be nothing but a major pain— she’s going to be a character that is a foil to Marinette. They’ll disagree a lot, compete against each other, but remain good friends and help each other grow.

The only other thing I can think to add to Concept Chloé is that she may possibly be related to Allegra, but that’s all I got for now.

[irondad-fic-ideas]

AU where Peter is rich/famed and Tony is poor/unknown

-Tony lives on his own in a one person apartment that is cluttered with chaotic inventions and leads an isolated/misunderstood life OR (depending on your preference) lives with Pepper and Morgan and is more outgoing/involved in the community as a caring father figure. Does Tony make lofi Ironman gauntlets/whole suits out of junk and use it to anonymously keep peace in his neighborhood? Probably.

-Peter is young son of Richard Parker, ceo of Parker Industries who is not a great dad (anger issues, verbally abusive, strict with Peter); think of the relationship between Adrian and Gabriel in Miraculous Ladybug.... Peter being Spider-Man behind Richard’s back and having to be an expert sneak because of how controlling Richard is with the kid’s schedule (band practice, robotics club, decathalon etc). Richard secretly is fascinated with SpiderMan and actually wants to catch and run tests on him, even employing thugs/villains to do so without knowing it’s actually his son

How do they meet in these circumstances? Now that I’ve mentioned MLB... imagine SpiderMan working with IronMan and neither of them knowing their real identities, while at the same time Peter meets/befriends Tony and they hide from each other that they’re superheroes?? How does the truth come out?

[butterfly--empress]

Crazy MLB Thoughts...

Or shit I would sort of want to see but after watching Seasons 2 and 3 doubt highly will happen nor do I trust the writers to be substantially confident in making a cohesive story that doesn’t fall at the rails.

The fact that they seem to like making Miraculous Ladybug Episodic when it really should be a Serialize show, tells me all I need to know to NOT but much faith in what they do. 

But I’ve been surprised before but...GREAT DOUBT (I’m trying really hard not to tl:dfr the essay about my...gripes with MLB on a whole because writing that...we’ll be here all day. ALL DAY)

anyways moving on;

1. Adrien and Felix are either step siblings or identical twins and someone lying about who’s the real baby daddy/baby momma and both sisters are in on it. 

2. Both sisters are in on EVERYTHING...and prob share everything and Gabe is none the wiser. Don’t make that face at me fam, Ya’ll come up with very interesting poly ships...DON’T @ ME! XD

Look at their fucking Maiden Name; without some translation; Vanily? If that shit don’t sound too damn close to Villain IDKWTF does! XD

But seriously, the name has various meanings which all boil down to, deceit and moral ambiguity. I don’t put nothing passed nobody.

I seen what the animators were doing; trying to paint Amelie in Black while Emilie is dressed in White. See, that symbolism of trying to make me think Amelie is a bad twin to Emilie’s good twin because of how Gabe sees her. But I like to think the reality is more of the opposite if...IF Emilie’s really a big bad. 

3a. Emilie is more antagonistic than Gabriel but actually loves her son and husband.

3b. Emilie could also just be full calculating evil and all of Adrien’s ‘memories’ of his loving mother could be of his Aunt Amelie instead...

4. The whole ass episode of Felix had me like: I watched one too many damn K-Dramas to know that anytime rich families act like this around each other; it usually involves birth secrets and the fact that someone was getting it on with the ‘wrong’ somebody...or the right somebody. 

Look, all I’m saying is, Gabe is def the father and most likely the father of Felix but Adrien could...maybe...actually...be...Amelie’s kid for some unfounded reason and no one’s saying anything about it. (no way in the 7 HELLS do cousins look identical like that unless the creators just felt spiteful for some reason and rehashed a scraped character design...)

Don’t look at me like that Fam! I cannot be the only one who thought there were a lot of secrets not being shared/said in this episode! If ya’ll can theorized about Sentimonsters, I can theorized about  Agreste/Graham de Vanily family drama. 

5. Audrey and Tomoe might have a bitter rivalry/partnership/something with Emilie and Gabriel. I feel like something happened for Tomoe to be all; ‘I don’t need friends, they’re a disappointment’. 

6. Fam! Ya’ll have got to chill with the ‘Character X is a Sentimonster theories’, come on that’s weak writing fam. FAM we’re better than this!

7. Marinette will finally get to tone down on her crush/obsession for Adrien WITHOUT having to be with *coughusecough* Luka.

8. Adrien as Chat Noir will finally get to tone down on his crush/obsession for Ladybug WITHOUT having to with *coughusecough* Kagami because she vaguely makes him think about Ladybug....Yea I said it. 

I believe Adrien only tries to move on with Kagami because she’s the closest thing that reminds him of his Idealistic view of Ladybug and not really for Kagami herself. which isn’t fair to Kagami...jfc I said I was NOT going to tl:dfr this post....ahh too fucking late now!

Sure, Adrien admires her but I don’t think he really truly likes the girl in that way. Out of Order Episodes or not, that boy can’t go 5 mins without going nuts over his precious M’Lady. XD

9. I just rather there NOT be this extra baggage of a love triangle and I just would like for ONCE to get through a season without feeling 2nd hand embarrassment over the cringy shit Marinette does to get Adrien’s attention.

Before you try to go ham on me LadyNoir/Adrinette/Marichat/Ladrien (GODDAMN THIS FUCKING OTP) shippers hear me out: I am not saying I don’t want the love square..THE ORIGINAL LOVE SQUARE OF really two loves in like/lust/future love unknowingly with each other to end.

I WILL FUCKING GO DOWN TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL FOR THIS SHIP!

But I do want less cringe, there’s so much I can take of Marinette learns not to be petty and seems to grow up a bit for the NEXT damn episode to reset like that shit didn’t happen....boi..i’m about to rant about the writing...

10. EPISODES WILL NOT BE SHOWN OUT OF ORDER!!

11. EPISODES WILL NOT BE SHOWN OUT OF ORDER!!

12. Season 4 will be consistent with it’s plot driven story and continuity...we can only pray.

13. When old Gabby Moth gets redeemed (not if but when...hey i’m trying to be marginally realistic here) the story for it, isn’t weak asf and doesn’t feel forced. Even though its going to feel forced...unless Emilie really does turn out to be that bad bitch and shows she cares more for power over her family and dismisses Gabriel...only for him to wisen up that his wife really isn’t a saint and realize too late that Nathalie was always there for him...FUCK I just made myself sad..I’m sad....

14. Astruc is really being a troll and Chloe actually gets a redemption...maybe too much to ask for?

15. Meanwhile Lila FUCKING Rossi can eat ass I don’t like that hoe. 

16a. Marinette will not try to carry the huge/sudden burden of being the guardian...(yea..THANKS FU FOR THAT BTW...*coughshitguardianmentormotherfuc...coughs*) ah Mari will not try to carry this heavy ass burden on her lonesome and actually lets those she chooses to give Miraculous too, KEEP THEM THIS TIME...ya know..so it’s more convenient for them to help her and Chat Noir when they need assistance.  While she maybe the Guardian, she will allow Chat Noir to share her burden with her. 

16b. Chat Noir will play more of an equal role alongside Ladybug and not be kept in the dark. ISTG RN; if Mari, after telling Fu she doesn’t want to keep anything from the guy that is supposed to be her number 1 partner...in the fucking dark...this whole ass website is going to feel my wrath for days on in. 

no more of this ‘pushing Chat Noir to the sidelines and keeping him in the dark’ more than Hawkmoth trying to use their trust for each other against them, distrust and lies is the fastest way for him or some other big bad to win.

Also I just REALLY want the gang to keep their miraculous. 

17. Probably going to get flack for this but I really want to see Chloe/Luka happen or at least some form of interaction between them. 

I don’t mind the Lukagami Ship but it rly feels like a forced pair the spares to sideline them away from Adrienette and I rly can’t see it. I mean I can but I think Chloe/Luka would make for something more interesting. 

18. Felix NOT becoming a big bad, because wow do we really need ALL of Adrien’s fam being coo-coo for coca puffs?? especially if Emilie is as worse than her husband 

19 the other side characters get to actually develop.

20...Was there something else??? Probably but I’m tired and can’t think outside of really wanting a kind and just Emilie Fucking Agreste and also wanting the Bitch Mother of all mothers from hell Emilie FUCKING Agreste, while also wanting a lil of both.

And now unable to decide WHICH Emilie Fucking Agreste to write about in my two AUs because where at first i wanted sweet innocent Emilie fucking Agreste, now I want cunning, ambitious gets what she wants behind a sweet demeanor, you’ll never see her striking, Emilie Fucking Agreste!

While good!Emilie Agreste would be simple and easy to write for...my mind is going; palace politics is just so much better when everyone is backstabbing everyone! Just like historical dramas! only not everyone dies! XD

Naruto AU where Uchiha Sasuke is not The Cool DudeTM  who swears a lot, but the biggest nerd you have ever seen.

The dork grew up in a giant extended family who were very traditional and probably got scolded for saying darn.

Idiot (affectionate) was later on hell bent on getting revenge. So I need you tell me he sometimes didn't stay awake at when his poshy rich kid persona resurfaced out of the trauma and he had a little whatamidoingwhydididothatwhatwouldeveryonethinkofme- moment.

Heck, the only reason he was seen as the cool kid in school, was cuz it was school. we all cringe looking back at it.

I'm just saying, Sasuke probably spent all his time in Konoha either talking like an old man or a rich kid with a poshy ascent.

We don’t talk about this scene enough

Aleksander, approaching Alina with her guards having just received the news of the stag and seen the tracker, already planning to celebrate taking over the other nations using the fold and testing one final time to see if the tracker is who he claims he is and if he is any threat to his other plans with Alina: *Offers flowers* For you.

Kaz and Inej, disguised as Alina’s guards, having just gotten rid of Arken who was going to betray them, having nearly died many times, knowing dang well that Jesper is sleeping with the stable boy as he was suppossed to be their get-away driver and were just about to kidnap Alina: *Side-eyes with an ‘Is This Guy Serious’ look*

Alina, blissfully ignorant of all the attempts to kill and/or kidnap her that are currently taking place, that one of her friends have been murdered, her childhood friend that she thought had given up on her is on the palace after nearly dying so many times just to talk to her, all the people around her want to use her but for different reasons and the the fact that her entire life is going to get thrown into a roller coaster in a few hours: *Taking the flowers* Thank you.

yall, sometimes i forget how much funny the darkling can be. like we don’t give him enough credit for it.

like i know he is the big bad guy who did a lot of horrible stuff but every time he makes an appearance i get all giddy to see what dramatic shit this bastard is going to do now.

like that one scene in Siege And Storm: where he personally took Alina to her cabin and through the prison and one time she tripped and he “put his hand on the small of her back to steady her and didn’t let go”. for what? just to make Mal jealous? “You’ll know when I make her scream.” (sir????????????)

and then Rule Of Wolves comes out and i actually got to read his POV and ooooh boy, i was not dissapointed.

Aleksander, watching his army of fateful Starless gather and prepare to follow his orders and march to the northern front of the war: Never in my centuries long life have i ever regretted being sober more than I do now at this moment.

and in the final fight with the fjerdans where he arrives with his cult to get favor and popularity for Zoya and in Nikolai’s POV he was like,

Aleksander: ;)

Nikolai: Did that bastard just fvking WINK-

like, hes funny man
