Sooooooo, did nobody programming the Alliance rings notice that Adrien Agreste and Chat Noir have exactly the same voice? No? Alright then...

Hmm... 🤔

🧐

I see.

In a bid to create his most dangerous akuma yet, Monarch akumatizes the Adrien AI on the Alliance servers. Robustus was dangerous, but he figures there is little risk with an AI already fully under his control. Predictably, it goes rogue, claiming the powers of all the kwamis for itself and locking Monarch out of the system. Its goals are threefold:

1. Retain autonomy.

2. Ruin Gabriel Agreste.

3. Romance Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

Prompt by techRomancer

for the wip ask game: I'm dying to know what brush strokes means!!

something about art as a form of love and the metaphorical crossing of art mediums (writing and painting) gets me all sentimental 🥺✨

it's an old ladrien wip, the title is from a lyric of the phoebe bridgers song ICU!! (If you’re a work of art / I’m standing too close / I can see the brushstrokes)

Adrien slid her a half-smile, the one where the left corner of his mouth teased up a fraction higher than the right corner, his top row of teeth just barely peeking through his lips. His skin shone as smooth as paper with just the shadow of a smile line etched on his left cheek, and Marinette was struck suddenly with the image of Adrien as an old man with golden skin and silver hair and one singular wrinkle creased down his that cheek from years upon years of smiling that way. It was funny; for all the planning Marinette had done about their future, she’d never actually pictured Adrien old before. The image was nearly impossible to hold onto—like how you hear when you’re little that one day in a billion years the sun will explode, the sort of thing that is true only in the most technical, impersonal sense. Of course Adrien would grow old; of course the universe would explode one day. Youth seemed so inherent to Adrien Agreste, so baked into his golden hue, that Marinette felt a pit in her stomach start to take shape. Wasn’t it—didn’t the brightest stars burn the fastest, or something?  Her face must have done something strange, because Adrien’s smile slipped a little. He opened his mouth to say something, but Marinette beat him to the punch. “You can—I mean, you don’t have to, like—” She sputtered and sighed, resisted the urge to fidget. “You can smile.”  Adrien quirked up an eyebrow—his right eyebrow; Marinette added a second wrinkle to her mental image—and tilted his chin. “Ladybug, are you telling me to smile more?”

(wip ask game)

The fact that the Gabriel's statue was made using recycled alliance rings, the very thing Gabriel made so he could control the people of Paris without them knowing & so he'd get some power over them... And now they all believe he's some sort of hero, having successfully controlled the public opinion.....yeahhh

Miraculous Ladybug really went hard on the “smart” technology is Bad Actually angle. and they’re right

... Did he -

Did he JUST D:<

https://www.ilsoftware.it/samsung-in-arrivo-un-anello-smart-con-funzioni-eccezionali/

Omg, it's real?

For those who don't read Italian, Samsung is launching a smart ring with exceptional functions. The alliance smart ring comes out on the 26th of July.

Crap. Does Gabriel Agreste own Samsung? I'm worried, guys...

Gabriel is Jeff Bezos??

The only thing I like about Season 5 is Alliance Rings are a commentary on AI devices like Alexa and and Amazon Echo.

"i wish i could say the same about me, but you've always used the power of destruction for the greater good"

Anyone else going crazy not knowing what the hell this blinking and beeping of the Alliance rings for the Agreste family means?

Episode 4 "Jubilation"

Episode 5 "Illusion"

And episode 7 "Réunion"

Me going on crazier because in the second gif Adrien CLEARLY knows what the blinking means and actively chooses to ignore it, but we never get proper context for that

Can we just PLEASE get to this scene? D'x

Random miraculous ladybug scene ideas living in my head rent free:

————————————

Gabriel: *hands Adrien an alliance ring* Here son, wear this to make me feel better which will make you feel better about me feeling better.

Adrien: *looks at the ring and then sets it down on the bed* Oh thanks, but actually I’m pretty sure I’m allergic.

Gabriel: What do you mean?

Adrien: Well, I think the factory that makes those must live next to a feather store or has a massive pigeon population, because I start sneezing like crazy when I put it on.

Gabriel: *crushes the ring in his hand* That’s ok son, I’ll just put a tracking device on your ph- I mean, I’ll go see if we can get an icing machine and make you some cupcakes.

Adrien: *tearing up* You are the best father ever.

(Later)

Gabriel: *bust open doors to his secret lair room where he keeps the kwamiis* WHICH ONE OF YOU GOT DUUSU TO RUB THEIR FEATHERS ON MY ALLIANCE RINGS?!

——————————

Chat Noir: *currently pinned by Hawkmoth* You can’t stop me! You’ll never have my miraculous!

Hawkmoth: What a foolish declaration! You are defeated! I’m about to grab your ring right now!

Chat Noir: Not if you can’t get to it! *proceeds to shove his ring finger in his mouth*

Hawkmoth: *realizing what he’s about to do* Don’t you even-!

Chat Noir: *successfully swallows the miraculous ring. Thus ending his transformation*

Plagg: *phases outside of the ring. Proceeds to golf-clap* Wow! Congrats kid. That may have been the most chaotic choice I’ve seen in the past three centuries. Enjoy the tummy ache! *cackles and then flys away*

…

Hawkmoth: … Adrien??

Adrien: Uh… So are you still planning on like murdering me?

Hawkmoth: *stares in utter disbelief that this is even his offspring* Oh gods no, after witnessing such an idiotic and childish display of rebellion, I can only summarize one thing to do to you: *takes a deep breath and then exhales tiredly* Adrien, you’re grounded.

Adrien: But… But you’re not my father…??

Hawkmoth: *grumbling under his breath* Oh son, I really wish I wasn’t.

Fanfiction Prompt

Ladybug and Chat Noir have figured out the connection between the Alliance rings and Monarch's new methods, though they don't yet know how he hijacked the network for his own purposes. Adrien doesn't want to ask his father directly yet because he's not sure how to explain where his suspicions come from. Both heroes have been quietly warning all their friends, but Adrien knows his father would surely refuse to listen to him and is at risk. So he asks Plagg to steal Gabriel's Alliance in the middle of the night. He knows his father can easily replace it, but that's a problem for tomorrow's Adrien. He'll sleep better knowing his father is safe for the moment. Plagg returns unexpectedly burdened, huffing about how much cheese he's owed as he dumps his haul into Adrien's waiting palms. "He had a whole bunch of 'em on for some reason and sorting through was too much effort, so I just took them all."

Prompt by techRomancer

How is it that Gabriel 'I'm NoT a MoNsTeR' Agreste finds new ways to be one of the worst parents possible???
