Sometimes my favorite thing about the reveal is just the concept of marinette realizing that chat noir is really just Some Guy who is like. A fairly normal guy. Like the realization that being a cat boy isn’t his full time job and her being baffled by the fact is endlessly entertaining to me

I've gotten less regimented with my daily comics and a lot of them are about DATM and stardew valley at this point.... but heres a couple ML ones I liked lately :)

Here’s a Fluffy Idea

You know what I want to see? I want a fluffy one-shot where Marinette has to pretend to be an akuma for some legitimate reason and actually ends up being convincing enough that Chat Noir gets called in. Like say as a babysitter for Manon, Marinette is roped into some sort of children’s event. Maybe something for charity. Maybe even specifically something for sickly or disabled kids who normally can’t go out and do special things because they could certainly use the time and attention.

In the children’s event she she’s volunteering in, they’re letting a bunch of kids play as heroes–whether as Chat Noir and Ladybug, others, or even their own made up hero identities. Doesn’t matter. Let the kids go wild. They go the whole nine yards. Dressing up. Getting their own superhero costumes. Yes, Marinette makes every single one of those kids their very own superhero costume. It doesn’t matter if there are multiple Ladybugs and Chat Noirs, the costumes are still tailored to the child and they each look awesome because Marinette IS that good at her work. She ends up making at least five different Ladybugs, three Chat Noirs, two Rena Rouges (who are twins and Marinette suspects secretly evil), one Carapace, and one Queen Bee/Carapace hybrid because the kid couldn’t decide between the two. Along with one kid who wants to be Majestia and another who makes up her own hero.

Only problem is, as part of the event to really let the children feel like the heroes they may not otherwise feel they can get the chance to be, they need a villain for the children to “battle”. And either due to the original choice cancelling last minute or simply poor luck of drawing the short straw, Marinette has to be the “akuma” in question.

So Marinette, at the very least, decides if she’s going to be an akuma, she’s going to show how it SHOULD be done (because wtf was Hawk Moth thinking with his designs? No wonder he keeps losing!). She goes all out. Makes up her own name, her own akuma costume, full on face mask and makeup, EVERYTHING. And she makes it look good.

So the day comes, the event starts. Everyone’s having a good time until “akuma Marinette” makes her appearance, overacting in all the best ways and making subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at Hawk Moth while she’s at it. It’s awesome. She may just be a little TOO good at it because some people see her and actually think she’s a real akuma.

Maybe Lila saw Marinette in costume and assumed or just otherwise started spreading stories about how she “barely got away” to milk sympathy. Or maybe some random people saw her in costume and simply mistook her for an actual akuma and hightailed it out of there before anything could be explained? Or maybe Alya finds out what happened and after an initial panic over thinking her friend was akumatized, actually decides to spur the joke on and posts it to the Ladyblog (Showing pictures with captions like “This is Fashionette”, “She is very scary”, “Look how evil she is”, “She criticized my outfit—how truly villainous!”). Or some variation thereof.

Regardless, Adrien eventually finds out without getting the full story and rushes out as Chat Noir to face the akuma thinking some variation of “Marinette NO! Marinette why?” But when he gets there, he arrives to a bunch of laughing and giggling children, unconcerned parents, and a very pretty but altogether not particularly destructive “akuma”. He’s honestly confused because what’s going on? Is this her power? What is she doing? What is all this? It kind of looks fun rather than evil.

Marinette is surprised to see him there, but takes it in stride. Namely by improvising and tying him up in yarn before proclaiming to the assembled children heroes that she has captured Chat Noir and no one can stop her. Chat quickly realizes what’s actually going on and plays along—also surprisingly well. He acts like he’s caught. Cue evil laugh from Marinette.

“You are scarily good at that.”

“Thanks!”

The children naturally charge forth to do “battle” to rescue their hero, with perhaps the sole exception of one little girl dressed as Chat Noir who decides to stay next to him for the “fight” so he doesn’t get scared or lonely (and only maybe a little to do with the fact that she scares easily and doesn’t like fighting). In short order, the children defeat the “akuma” and break her object—in this case a staff that actually releases a little toy butterfly, thus returning Marinette to “normal” (really done by her simply removing her mask). And yay! The heroes won! And as thanks for freeing her and saving the city, they get free pastries from the stand that Marinette’s parents set up nearby.

Chat also gets a pastry for being a good sport. Honestly, he’s just glad Marinette’s not ACTUALLY an akuma. Turns out some of those knots she tied him with were a bit trickier than he expected.

So loads of fun for everyone involved. Plenty of pictures and video footage to look back on and enjoy. The children got to feel like heroes. Chat actually had fun and a nice break from dealing with actual akumas. Plus the one little Chat Noir who remains attached to him for the rest of the event and follows him around by holding his tail because that is adorable and no one will be able to talk me out of it. And it all ends on a bright note with happy children, satisfied parents, a cackling Alya, and a nice big box of macaroons for Chat for his unexpected yet completely welcome help in making things go well, playing with the children, and giving out autographs and words of encouragement to each of them. Except for the little mini-Chat Noir. She also gets a giant stuffed black cat because shut up it’s Chat-Freaking-Noir and he can damn well buy an oversized cat for his mini-kitten if he wants to.

The event is a huge hit. It even gets in the news. The class is buzzing over it. Alya’s a mix of laughing and cooing at the pictures and video she took. Lila is put off because that just destroyed her “akuma Marinette attacked me” story because 1) Marinette didn’t attack anyone and 2) that means that Marinette’s costume was really just THAT good. Marinette has gotten more recognition both because of her work for the event and her acting as an akuma, as well as the fact that she literally designed everything from the children’s costumes to her own, which would get her attention and more notice in fashion.

Perhaps the best/worst? part is when Adrien approaches Marinette afterwards to ask about commissions for cosplay.

Why Scarlet Lady Is Better Than Canon: Desperada

Can we take a moment to just appreciate how @zoe-oneesama vastly improved Desparada?

There are so many things to love about this episode. Aspik and Viperion’s redesigns. Jealous Adrien. Blushy Marinette. Aspik’s redesign. Actual follow up on the previous Luka confession in Silencer. Seeing Scarlet taken out by the akuma. Aspik’s redesign. Viperion’s snek tongue and hilarious expressions. Seeing more family interaction between Jagged and Penny with the Couffaines. Aspik’s redesign. There are SO many reasons to love this episode, but there are also reasons it’s better than canon and these are in part due to the issues with the canon version of the episode in the first place.

miraculous is such a funny show because every character has normal teenage cartoon character problems, meanwhile Adrien is consistently having the Worst day of his Life every episode

she’s a 10 but she posts abt the bible

Kagami: do you know your gay name?

Marinette: my...my gay name?

Kagami: yeah, it's your first name-

Marinette: haha, very funny, kagami-

Kagami: *gets down on one knee* and my last name

Marinette: oh-oh my god-

Non-miraculous AU where Adrien works in a Cat cafe. He likes the post-covid mask policy since it make it less likely for anyone to recognise him.

All the kwamis are the cafe's cats, with Plagg being the sort of mascot. Mostly because he's the one with the "most personality" (i.e he's the biggest and loudest)

Bunch of little Plaggs plus one little Tikki.

He is many shaped.
