𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚢 𝚗𝚘𝚒𝚛 : Once ongoing work is done and dusted I will be introducing an imprint within my dremour press indie publishing house entitled 𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚗𝚢 𝚗𝚘𝚒𝚛 . It will showcase my creative shift into artwork and writing utilising both the Noir & pulp style/aesthetic and my interest in the unheimlich and will reference other modes/personal interests such as the urban wyrd, liminality, nostalgia , anemoia, hauntology, psychogeography, Forteana, cinematics and horror, crime,uncanny & weird fiction. It will also mark my return to writing/illustrating comic strips / graphic novels for the first time in two decades. This dapper skeletal guy is the ‘face’ of the press (As yet unnamed, unsure whether he will appear in any stories).

Did they ever explain why/how the American superheroes have powers?? Like, some are just gadgets and tech (like Knightowl and Sparrow), and Jess is the only one with a miraculous, but others just… have them??

Do some Americans in the Miraculous universe just innately have powers, or was there some event that happened in America (because we haven’t seen anything like this in other countries so far) that caused people to get powers? Like… what’s going on here? Did I miss something???

every time they make a ui change on this site it's like. they moved the furniture 1 inch to the left. i can smell it

Okay I agree with a lot of the points you make except Adrien never taking responsibility, like that's why he quit in the New York Special because he a 14-15 year old child believe he was not worthy of continuing being the holder cat miraculous after not only accidentally killing a fellow kid but because his actions resulted in massive amount of destruction in Paris and probably claimed dozens if not hundreds of lives

No, it's totally fine. I wasn't upset by this at all, even before my hiatus. I still don't agree with the claim you made, but I will try and explain it in a professional manner. I hope you can at least understand my perspective on this.

The problem I had with Adrien choosing to quit in the New York Special was less that he did it at all, but because he chose to do it in the middle of a crisis. Ladybug and Cat Noir were being hunted down by the United Heroez, there's an Akuma still on the loose, and part of Paris is in ruins, and Cat Noir decided to not even help Ladybug during all of this. He didn't say something along the lines of "After we stop this Akuma and clear things up with the Americans, I'm renouncing my Miraculous to atone for my mistakes". He just gave up on the spot and didn't even give Ladybug the dignity of saying goodbye face-to-face.

Another thing that I felt soured that scene for me was that the United Heroez were trying to force Ladybug and Cat Noir to hand over their Miraculous earlier, so Adrien renouncing his Miraculous felt like he was trying to get out of getting in trouble and go back to his normal life without taking responsibility for unintentionally contributing to things getting worse.

Even the guilt Adrien felt for nearly killing someone didn't go anywhere, as he was stirred out of it by some vague praise from Ladybug that Uncanny Valley recorded. Yeah, I can see why Adrien would be happy Ladybug still thinks highly of him, but it doesn't really resolve the whole "I almost killed someone if not for my partner's miraculous healing powers" thing that caused him to think he wasn't worthy of the Cat Miraculous in the first place. I don't think he even got to talk to Uncanny Valley or Majestia afterwards.

I guess to me, the way the writers handled Adrien temporarily quitting without even developing him as a character just felt like a way to pad out the runtime of the special, because I can see a plot like this working if more effort was placed into the guilt he would feel for accidentally taking someone's life. Hell, that could have been a really interesting season-long arc. The way it was handled just felt like Adrien was quitting because he got in trouble and wanted an easy out. I know that's not what the writers wanted to convey, but that's just how I saw things.

WHAT HAVE I DONE—

One of my friends and I were goofing off while chatting and he thought that one funny image of Gabriel’s face looked like something from analog horror, so I turned it into one and I spooked my friend and we both were laughing and it was for all good fun. 🤣😹😂

THE OG IMAGE:

The Bell in the Fog was so good. Everyone in the world is sleeping on this noir detective book series that centers around the 1950's queer underground in San Francisco. It's an ongoing series and the audiobooks are fantastic. Run, don't walk, to your local library / bookstore.

Near Mint Condition looks at the Sandman Mystery Theatre Compendium One. Out last week.

Hi, I did this sketches of Eagle and Uncanny Valley from Miraculous New York. And I think that I have an idea of who and how would have the miraculous. First of all: Aeon Hill aka Uncanny Valley wishes could have the thunderbird miraculous.

You would think why? She’s a machine. She couldn’t see the Kwai or hear them.

I’ll tell you why: even though she’s an androide, she is capable to think and learn as a human, the only thing is she thinks that is all machine created by Majestia, but what if I’ll tell you that she couldn’t be made by her own mother, I mean she made clear that she’s not human, so she could have another origins like outer space, maybe she could be sort of alien or even she could be more person that’s machine. But that’s the thing: she has to believe that she is her own person with her own ideas, and once she recognizes herself not a human, a living being. Then she would be able to see the kwamis. And she would use the thunderbird that represents the “will” or “libre albedrío”.

Besides in the episode of Startrain, Markov didn’t say anything about not being able to see Kaalki, and even he seemed he was able to see the Kwami, so I don’t matter if you aren’t a machine what if matters if you are capable of feel. And Markov had showed that a couple times, even he was able to make a wish with the miraculouses of ladybug and cat noir.

Besides, searching about the name of Aeon, which means “unlimited power that long last ever” and Uncanny valley that’s means “not at all human because of the theory of th Uncanny Valley in robotics”

And searching about the thunderbird, is a mythical creature of great power, beyond the earth and it was the messenger of the gods, and that made me remind about the special of New York that she acted such as messenger between ladybug and cat noir.

I’m still thinking on the design.

I hope you like it. :)

I just realized that people with cochlear implants wouldn’t be able to hear kwamis 😶

Grab a dictionary, flip to a random page and point, use that word to create a scene using Queen Bee, Kitty Noire, Bunnix, Nino, Tom and Uncanny Valley

I played the shit out of L.A. Noire, too! (Also, I am a fellow Joseph, at least on the dotted line.)

ONE OF US. ONE OF US. I’m a full-time Joseph both on and off the dotted line, with years of experience in the trying-to-get-people-to-talk-about-L.A.-Noire-with-me field.

So if Aeon/Uncanny Valley knew Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities because it doesn't confuse robots the way it does with humans does that mean that Markov knows who they are or
