Marinette! She too is here. She too is swapped >:3

I actually think that she is the first one Rose and Chloe picked as additional miraculous holders. It happens in episode Sapoti, like Alya’s Rena Rouge first appearance. It seems logical to me that different people will make different plans. Instead of creating an illusion, Bliss and Felina find a real object that interests the akuma (candy? Favourite toy? TV controller?) and try to guard it Really Hard

Her place in Secondary Miraculous Cast is Rival to one of the Main (cat and ladybug) holders (similar to Chloe in canon)

If asked, Chloe says they picked her just because she was close at the time. But Rose quite likes her, and actually thinks her advice on her best friend’s sisters’ behaviour was useful

(I actually really like the cloth thing i made the shield into. I struggled with limited ways you can put a shield on a suit, and then. What if it wasn’t a shield all the time)

[starrynighttime]

Will rena rouge be in this Au in some way. Will alya and chloe (or Zoe lee) be in the au

And here they are, ALL of Marinette’s updated kwami swaps from my Timey Wimey AU including her new Multimouse design! Now that she’s FINALLY done and I’m completely satisfied with her designs we can get a move on with the other character designs! YAY!

*Updated version*

[maddascanbe-blog]

Yes, this is for sure just random kwami swaps and not me trying to convince RozonRozark of The Cheshire au to give Alya the bull. (It can be attached to her mask and she can just not wear it until she transforms, just wear it horrendously wrong or something. Please I am begging I think that would be so freaking cool-)

So here is Bella Blue (Alya), Battle Ox (Alix), and Bixi (Marinette)

Bella's hat is meant to be one of those wide brim flat hats. Similar to the one I drew for my own Bull miracusona. I based the suit on the type of cowboy/cowgirl outfits I'd see dancer's wear.

Meanwhile Battle Ox I based on repeated themes I saw in brawlers or fighter classes in video games. Her collar ended up being shaped like a cow skull which started unintentional but I leaned into it.

Bixi is directly based in Marinette's one time use of the turtle in Cheshire as well as the Miracle Heroes dolls version of turtle marinette. Literally the only one of the dolls that I do like (discounting basic ladybug). I gave her cute pink accents because it was a nice complimentary accent.

[a-flaming-idiot]

So remembered an animatic that said every Ladybug holder was destined to abandon their Black Cat and they'd never see each other again. So I quickly threw together a set of curses for all the Chinese Box.

Ladybug - They are destined to always die alone with their goals unaccomplished

Black Cat - They are fated to always be abandoned by the person they hold closest

Fox - They are fated to always destroy the person they love most

Turtle - When it counts most they won’t be able to protect those they hold most dear

Bee - They are fated to drive others away at their most vulnerable

Butterfly - They are fated to have their good intentions twisted sour

Peacock - They are fated to put their faith and love into the wrong person and destroy themselves

Snake - At the end of things, they will always end up alone

Dragon - They are fated to never have the strength they most need

Bunny - They are destined to see the worst fates of their friends repeat over and over again with no chance to save them

Tiger - They are destined to always squeeze too tight and break those they love

Pig - Their kindness and desire to help will be their downfall

Mouse - They are fated to feel the weight of every task and eventually be crushed by it

Ox - They are cursed to be destroyed by their own growing doubt

Horse - They are fated to always be a moment too slow and be ruined by it

Monkey - Their happiness will come at the cost of the misery of others

Goat - They will be consumed by their passion and desires

Dog - They will devote their lives to a goal and only in their last moments realize they were wrong

Rooster - The people they hold closest will be unreachable

My rough idea is that the Miraculous of the Chinese Miracle Box are so powerful that their magic naturally backlashes onto the user in the form of a curse. So if someone wears a Miraculous for too long, they will be doomed to the curse even if they take it off.

Been a while since I've done something with fashion so have these

I guess these could be another day outfit for them (except for Lila's second and Chris' first,, not in Paris at least)

[imthepunchlord]

So with my thought on different yin-yang pairs that would cycle between 6/7 Miraculous, I also wanted to cover the different pairs for Felix and Marinette as I do think they are a pair that can easily use both Ladybug and Cat.

So I wanted to see if that could extend to my idea on other pairs, particularly Fox/Peafowl and Bee/Butterfly.

Which, for this, there are tweaked themes for these pairs.

Fox and Peafowl echo themes of Deception and Truth/Vision.

Bee and Butterfly echo themes of Order/Notion and Chaos/Emotion.

And a bonus, Turtle and Serpent, the neutral pair that undo wishes, and loosely echo space and time.

Initially, I'd say immediate stand out picks are Serpent!Marinette and Turtle!Felix.

As Wayzz and Koyll lightly echo space and time, you can see a bit of those themes echoed in Felix and Marinette.

Felix is a character who literally likes to have his space. He'd rather be withdrawn, in his own bubble, then have it be filled with others. He's a character that would rather open up his space on his terms, and let others in on his terms.

It's one of the big reasons Turtle is a natural, easy click, one of the archetypes I associate with turtles is being a loner, to be self-reliant, not make it through life on fellowship and trust. Felix, from what I've seen concept wise, is a loner.

Another factor is the probability is that Felix isn't a character that lives life in a rush. That he moves at his own pace and leisure. It could be a stretch and may be just my own interpretation, but it works off the fact that for the PV, one of the few things they show off about Felix is him spending time in a library, implying he likes to read and/or is quite studious. Typically those that spend their free time reading not only show off their dedication, but that they take time to enjoy/learn, and are fine chilling as they do so.

Him being a reader/scholar can also work off the themes of turtles being knowledgeable/wise, and books in media are heavily tied with intelligence.

Last detail I'll point out that matches Felix with Turtle is his defensiveness. At least PV wise, Felix who can be a mean/antagonistic character, isn't someone who goes out of their way to bully others. You have to come into his space and provoke him for him to snap back (like ignoring his clear no to romantic confessions).

Turtles are animals that can snap back and have a very nasty snap.

The thing is though, these animals aren't going to go out of their way to pick fights. They bite back when provoked, when space is invaded; otherwise, they'll leave or simply want to chill and be unnoticed and unbothered.

Of what I speculated from Felix, that's a pretty similar behavior.

And of course, I've mentioned it before, but I do think there's merit in a monochrome character getting something colorful to reflect a beneficial change in life, to gain color in life, something more lively. Turtle as a colorful Miraculous meets this quota, though I will be going over a few colors and what they can bring to Felix, as unfortunately for me, they had the black kwami have green eyes, suggesting green could be a color he could be associated with, but they also decided to do a green turtle. So I could have Cat more tied to chartreuse (to work off yellow popping up in Cat heroes) and Turtle is green, or have Cat be green and Turtle is more cyan/turquoise.

Green is a color tied to harmony, security, growth, and healing. It can have additional perks of generosity, hope, and prosperity, and negative themes of being envious, greedy, inexperienced, stagnant, and judgemental.

By the entirety of Felix, from PV to canon to fanon, there are aspects of the negative associations of green to be seen with his character, fans did have the idea of him being jealous of Adrien and canon backed it (in response to seeing Adrien having a lot of friends), PV wise he is a stagnant character that doesn't want to change, and being judgemental is a trait that just clicks with him. Green though can easily cover what he needs growth wise, to literally grow, have a sense of security which can be nice for a reluctant hero, and to learn to be generous and harmonious as a trade off to someone solitary and chaotically spiteful.

Now going off Turtle possibly being more cyan/turquoise, those colors come with calmness, clarity, communication, compassion, individuality, renewal, practicality, support, healing, enlightenment, peace, empathy, and stability. Negatively, they come with secrecy, narcissism, stress, and anxiety.

This is one of those where a lot clicks, but offers a lot growth wise, especially empathy and compassion. And can doubly work off what Turtle should factor in for users, not just providing self defending, but extending protection to others.

Now on the topic of kwami, I do see Felix and Wayzz getting along well. One of the things that stands out to me about Wayzz is him being adaptable. He's able to pick up on his human's personality and quirks, and he's able to adjust and take in what they're interested in, what they like, and how to work off of them. Which how, despite being with Nino for a very limited time, he's able to integrate himself into Nino's interests, greeting him as Nino likes.

As Felix (PV) is a character that was very reluctant to be a hero and have heroic responsibilities placed upon him, Wayzz would make that much easier, getting a quick idea on how to work off Felix and reason with him. Wayzz would validate Felix needing to self protect, to prioritize himself, but also ease things out to others. Secure stability to others, that they have rights to a safe space as well.

Now for Marinette and Serpent, this wound up to be another nice color coded pair with extra little themes to work off.

When I was doing Koyll's design, pink was one of the colors that stood out to me, and being made a counter to Wayzz and a sister of Sass, yeah it was an easy pick to contrast both of them. And her being a pink kwami with black details and blue eyes, it's very easy to work off Marinette's primary colors (only thing missing is white). What's the extra icing on this cake is the factor that Marinette is associated with plants, not just from the iconic blossom design she does, but also from her balcony garden, and in a few different mythology, there are serpents and dragons wrapped around the base of trees or associated with trees (Laden, Nidhogg, and Mucalinda). And Marinette's signature flower is a Chinese plum blossom, which comes from a tree.

With Koyll working off Ouroboros and time, Marinette can work off the concept of time very well.

Time is always in motion and never stops. Marinette is a character I perceive to be incredibly productive, a true busy body, always likes to be doing something, always compelled to meddle, just always be doing something. I really don't know if she truly knows how to stop and relax. Time is also something that extends and effects everyone, and that can work off Marinette being very sociable, and involving herself with everyone.

As for Marinette's potential ties to serpents and snakes, the biggest one to stand out is duality and healing.

Snakes/serpents have long been a dual symbol, a fine balance of themes, from life and death, creation and destruction, benevolence and malevolence.

Ouroboros even echoes yin-yang as it cycles between creation and destruction, life and death, endless renewal. And to add to it, alchemy itself has two dragons/serpents that circle each other, who are stated to be black and white.

With these themes of duality, that naturally works off Marinette and how she is. Between the two official leads, Marinette is the one that better reflects yin-yang and the concept of duality. Marinette works off her head and her heart. She can be the leader and the follower. She can take action but will also be the nurturer. She can be clear and open but also secretive and elusive. She can be chaotic and all the place, but also work off structure and have her own order to work off of.

And, ultimately, the biggest show of this is her being able to use both Ladybug and Cat with no issues with either.

And for healing, Marinette naturally is a provider, always stepping up to assist. And plays the vital role of healer in the field.

As for Marinette getting a pink kwami, what can be gained is her learning calm and tranquility.

And working off Koyll, I don't have her all down yet as a character, though she's more coy and fast acting to contrast cautious Wayzz (and the go with the flow Sass), so she'd click with Marinette being quick to respond, but push to be more open on possibilities, not everything has to go as Marinette wants them to, and she can't be as controlling as she would like. Also probably challenge Marinette being more tolerable, as to counter Sass more, Koyll is more willing to "bite" back if something rubs her wrong.

Now, on the reverse, I can think of some merits to work off of.

Turtle can naturally work off Marinette's nature to provide and assist, secure safety and stability. Marinette herself can also be a risky taker. Usually it's calculated risk where she likes her chances of coming out.

But not always.

Canon's initial test was the riskiest test we've seen, and despite the lethal risk, she ran out to help Fu. And for this small moment, it's says a lot about her character. For at canon, she's at her lowest point, low self esteem, no confidence, and no hope for a good year. And despite that, she saw someone in trouble and rushed out to help them.

It was such an iconic moment that even the movie kept it in and expands upon it.

You even see a moment of her putting herself between him and the car, ready to take the hit before he does. This not only proves her as a hero, but confirms her as a protector. And you know, side note, I do prefer movie's take on this over the show, not just expanded detail, but the factor that movie wise, this incident is an accident vs show's Fu intentionally putting her in danger of getting hit by a car.

So, not only does Turtle work off her nature, but it also works off providing self-defense, to prioritize herself when she doesn't.

Wayzz would also be a good kwami to work off of her, having the appeal of being calm and reasonable, so when she starts to spiral and could get emotional/reckless, he can ground her.

Lastly, she does need to learn to withdraw more. She has a tendency to over involve herself, solve problems that aren't her own and shoulder too much (which can work off the World Turtle).

She does need to learn to ease back, that she's stretching herself out too much. And this being an animal known to withdraw into itself, could be helpful.

Now Felix with Serpent I can also see merits to.

Right off the bat, he does click with the more negative associations to serpents/snakes, being distant and aloof, vindictive, deceptive, and being a risk that will strike out.

But this can set up Felix growing to work off the more positives of serpents, from the creativity, to the guardianship, to the healing. Felix for sure is set up to learn to be a guardian, a hero who protects others, and to learn to be a healer and provider.

Felix getting a pink kwami can work off him needing to learn to be a more loving person.

And Felix with Koyll, I can't fully say yet, but she can definitely push for him to act instead of staying out of trouble, and to be open to possibilities and to roll with the chaos. Don't close himself to the world. Could even play into the theme of Ouroboros, needing to self-destroy to begin anew, especially as he starts antagonistic, and is set up to grow and redeem himself, and Ouroboros is a good theme for a redemption. It makes Serpent a pretty iconic animal for Felix to have on his path to improvement, how his nature and who he is will be challenged as he walks forward, and how he will change.

[cornerverse]

And with that, we officially have the entire Main Five team of the Lady Luck AU! Adrichat is the only one of them completely unchanged from the main universe but he's here!

Also, because I can and since I did it on the last team photo, have everyone's heights in my AU:

Chloé - 172 cm/5'8"

Adrien - 181 cm/5'11"

Mari - 163 cm/5'4"

Sabrina - 168cm/5'6"

Mylene - 152cm/5'

Miraculous Ladybug crossover salt AU idea:

Marinette lose her friends thanks to Lila's lies BUT she go to New York for a student exchange program, became friends with ROTTMNT April O'Neil, meet the ROTTMNT turtles and become the little sister of the group.

Personal headcanon + unpopular opinion(?): ROTTMNT April and Alya are similar characters but April is better written.

Personal headcanon + unpopular opinion(?) 2: The turtles and April would be way better friends for Marinette than the Akuma class and April would make a better best friend for Marinette.

---------------------------------------------

If you want to use this idea go ahead! Just credite/tag me in return please! ^^

[huynun]

I definitely want to keep what I think the canon writers were trying to do with assigning the miraculi so I want each hero to have something to do with the powers that they’re good at and one thing that they improve on throughout the series

Currently I have

Marinette

- Good at: creation

- bad at: good luck

Adrien

- good at: ? (Destruction???)

- bad at: bad luck?

Alya

- good at: attention to detail

- bad at: noticing lies (and or telling lies)

Nino

- good at: being protective of others

- bad at: standing up against things that are wrong

Chloe

- good at: ? Being able to delegate? Good at subjugation?

- bad at: hard work

Now, you may be able to tell that I have some uncertainty, with Chloe, then I know the bee is the miraculous of subjugation but I’m not entirely sure I want to encourage that, especially for a show that I would theoretically target towards kids

Honestly, I want them all to be very good at the main point of their miraculous like marinette is good at creating things and Nino is good at protecting people (in this au, i don’t mean in the canon show where he has…. limited screen time)

But, that leaves me in a bit of a pickle because I don’t know how one can be specifically good at destruction, especially since destroying things is very easy; it also means that with Alya I’m at something of a loss because illusion is not something easy to be good at either for different reasons, though maybe she would be good at selling lies but not good at noticing when someone else is telling them?

Much to consider

Miraculous Mix Ups

[starrynighttime]

Your Chelone Au is very good! The animation, dialogue, and drawing style is very nice. How would the episode Dark Cupid workout since the hero side is platonic and who would get hit? 🐞🐈‍⬛🐢

Yep. Totally completely 100% platonic.

Another Dark Cupid comic here!

Also thank you so much!!

[celestiall0tus]

Bloody Bug, Ao

For those that keep up with Bloody Bug, y'all knew this was coming.

Marinette will take up the turtle miraculous later down the line and be called Ao.

[redtippedfox]

Accidentally deleted this post when I was trying to edit it but guess I can’t undo that.

———————————-

All characters in this AU are aged up and are adults

—————————————————————-

Anyway gonna take this chance to redo this post and upload her updated kwami swaps.

Behold the holy trinity of Kwami swaps part 1

1. Fox! Marinette: Huli Jing, she’s a trickster and her illusions are beautifully dangerous

2. Bee! Marinette: HoneyBee: She’s hella sweet but you don’t wanna piss her off because her sting can hurt

3. Turtle! Marinette: Chelona Jade: Graceful, strong, and powerful she is the protector.

4. Black Cat! Marinette: Lady Noire: Pent up Destruction can be dangerous especially for a rule follower who’s been stuck being perfect

5. Mouse! Marinette: Multimouse: She may be small but she can give you quite a scare when she divides and conquers.

6. Peacock! Marinette: Bleu Celine: A Goddess in human flesh her Sentimonster’s seem like a dream but beware for they are not all they seem.

7. Butterfly! Marinette: Titania: Light as a butterfly, become her champion be blessed by her gift.

—————————————————————————————————

These kwami swaps are definitely going to appear in Timey Wimey soon, we’re getting really close to Marinette’s reveal. I’ll also be posting the other half of this which the Chinese zodiac part of the Miracle Box, yep that’s right my girl is pulling a Kwamibuster on the corrupted hero’s but with a twist. Anywho, updated their designs and was just trying to edit the post but accidentally deleted it so whoops.

So cleaned up their designs and thought might as well post more.

The main seven Miraculouses are still my favorite

[maddascanbe-blog]

Here's a bunch of doodles I did for the redesigned heroes, plus one Zoé Lee-Bourgeois, in her Bee hoodie no less. I do have designs for tiny Vesperia that I might put out later. But for next time, I think it's time we bring in a villain? Maybe a certain fox?
