Miraculous Ladybug, Marinette Dupain-Cheng Drawings

I drew a lot of Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous Ladybug. I have the same love hate relationship with this show that most of the active fandom has. I may repurpose the time lapse from this drawing to use as visual while I rant about it and turn that into a YouTube video.

This is technically a redesign of Marinette, except I mostly like her canon design, so it’s actually just putting her in a bunch of different outfits to fit the occasion.

I started by tracing a picture of her and starting to adapt it to my style, thence freeform drawing her canon design in my style, then went from there.

Imagined context for each one:

Canonette Trace: Marinette at a regular school day.

Canonette Freeform: Marinette attempting to greet Adrien like a normal human being and mostly succeeding.

Girlboss Marinette: She had a big presentation that she wanted to look professional for.

Bakinette: It’s 2 a.m. and she’s making brownies for some reason.

Dancinette: She’s ballet dancing alone in her room, cuz she’s not confident enough to dance in any public capacity.

Grouchinette: She hasn’t slept in 3 days and someone just asked her a really dumb question.

Fashionette: Showcasing her newest design

Pridenette: It’s a pride parade and she’s having a little too much fun.

All characters in this AU are aged up and adults

Well we can all guess who won the Poll! Here’s the new version of Celine Titania! I cleaned her up a bit and now she’s all ready to go! Now Celine Titania looks immobile and vulnerable but she isn’t, in fact she has more knives and sharp objects to stab you with than Titania does.

Also she has sharp long nails so be very careful when trying to attack, she can fight back. Just like Titania’s and Bleu Celines dress her bottom part can be torn off for combat. She can strangle you with her see through shawl and her shoes hurt when kicked with. She always has her fan covering her mouth as she speaks to her senticreatures or her champions, it also hides the mouth that knows all secrets of the future.

Also her roses are definitely a symbolism.

I’m gonna be honest, this was a small doodle that turned into something really pretty, I was a bit upset that Celine Titania’s original design had no Chinese aspect to it because I could never figure out how to design something that added both parts of both Miraculouses. But I took OG Celine Titania’s colors and mixed it with this doodle. I really like it and am FINALLY satisfied with it.

Not all Miraculous designs are going to be Chinese themed unless they are unified with the peacock and butterfly and we will definitely be seeing more main seven unifications since I’ve decided that those should just be the main Miraculouses Marinette uses instead of using the Chinese zodiac ones(Because we still have the power ups and that just is too much designing man). Don’t worry the rabbit, mouse, dragon, and snake will be seen and used but only those ones.

Anyway I’m home for Christmas break so chapter 4 will be updated soon!

I usually don’t like talking about fandom salt in public because I like to keep my social media places free of negativity but right now I feel like this needs to be said.

I’m mixed race with Chinese and Tibetan roots who lives in Europe. People like me rarely get any positive reputation in animation or film and in real life, we’re often mocked by other people including our families. So seeing and knowing Marinette being mixed race too and also European? I’m so happy to find such an amazing and wonderful character as someone I can relate with.

And then I see entitled non-mixed race people (especially from America surprise surprise) bitching about how she’s not Chinese enough. How they don’t find her relatable. How she would have been better written if the creative team had a Chinese woman with them.

Of course you won’t find her relatable. She’s MIXED RACE. Not 100% Chinese. You people don’t realise it but you’re invalidating mixed race people with thoughtless rants and declarations like that. Comparing Marinette to fully Chinese characters isn’t fair at all. She shouldn’t have to have stereotypical facial features or habits or life style just to prove she is half Chinese.

Just stop being such little bitches for fucks sake.

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.

GUYS!!! So my brain had to remind me of that one Spiderverse scene and it got me thinking!

What if the alternate Marinette is actually pretty fluent with Chinese and so when she speaks French, she has an accent.

I know dang well the special wouldn’t include such a detail but I just wanted to share it because it’s been bugging me for the past few minutes.

#miraculous ladybug #marinette dupain cheng #ml thoughts #ml rants #shadybug #GIVE HER AN ACCENT AND BE FLUENT WITH CHINESE ML WRITERS #IF THE ALTERNATE MARINETTE DOESN’T HAVE AN ACCENT WHEN SHE SPEAKS THEN I DON’T WANT IT

A Small but Stubborn Fire, Chapter 3: Dark Cupid

Hey all, I've posted chapter three of my @mlbigbang 2023 fic, which is all about Sabine (the POV character!) trying to figure out what's giving her daughter nightmares, and how she can help her. Thank you to @wehadabondingmoment for the help getting one scene right! And thank you so much again to @uptoolateart and @raspberrycatapult for beta reading this chapter. Y'all don't know how complete poop it would be without my friends' input!

Summary

It was times like this that she regretted—only in the darkest recesses of her heart—that she didn’t have more control over her daughter like her mother had once had over her. She felt guilty for even thinking it, and she’d certainly never tell Tom. But she understood how a mother’s fear could turn into a spear, jabbing away, intent on subjugating a defiant daughter.

But Marinette wasn’t defiant. She was determined. Those two character traits were the same object, just viewed from a different perspective. And she couldn’t afford to lose perspective.

---

Sabine worries at home while Marinette and Alya go shopping. And when they return home, Sabine gets more to worry about.

Unpopular opinion.

Marinette not knowing Mandarin doesn't make her any less Chinese.

Heritage isn't a check list, regardless of her looks or knowledge of Chinese culture, she is Chinese.

The idea that she isn't Chinese enough for whatever reason is stupid and a bit racist.

Do I think her heritage and culture should be explored more? Sure, it would be cool. But that's just not the story they want to tell.

Today's Mixed Character of the day is Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous Ladybug!

She is French-Italian and Chinese, specifically from Shanghai🇨🇳

She gives me the vibes of people not believing she's chinese, and asking for proof that she is. Unfortunately very real for some who are mixed. Here's some concept art showcasing her looking more mixed!

ML Meta Theory: Chinese legend “Butterfly Lovers”

I just realized that I never got around to talk about the Chinese legend 梁山伯與祝英臺 (Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai) - or the title its mostly referred to in English: Butterfly Lovers – and that I think its quite possible that this tragic tale is the reason why the Butterfly Miraculous specifically is the villain in Miraculous and Marientte’s and Adrien’s love story, even though Butterflies aren’t exactly that special of animals in Chinese cultures.

(Statue: Liangzhu Culture Park)

Disclaimer: As per usual, I’m of no country of the Asien continent and I also have no family roots there I’m taking this from. I’m one person who is very interested in culture and literature and research is all I can do in this regard at the moment.

So if my post contains false information, misrepresentations or other points, please let me now.

Butterfly Lovers was selected as one of China's Four Great Folktales by the "Folklore Movement" in the 1920s and I’ve gotta be honest, this is such a spot on “civilian Ml-Love-Square” way for a romantic couple to tragically never reach each other and then die in the end, I would find it surprising if it didn’t at least have SOME influence on the show.

Cause the Love Square WOULD

Zhu Yingtai is the ninth child and only daughter of the wealthy Zhu family of Shangyu, Zhejiang. Although women are traditionally discouraged from taking up scholarly pursuits, Zhu manages to convince her father to allow her to attend classes in disguise as a man. During her journey to Hangzhou, she meets Liang Shanbo, a scholar from Kuaiji. They chat and feel a strong affinity for each other at their first meeting. Hence, they gather some soil as incense and take an oath of fraternity in the pavilion of a wooden bridge.

They study together for the next three years in school and Zhu gradually falls in love with Liang. Although Liang equals Zhu in their studies, he is still a bookworm and fails to notice the feminine characteristics exhibited by his classmate.

One day, Zhu receives a letter from her father, asking her to return home as soon as possible. Zhu has no choice but to pack her belongings immediately and bid Liang farewell. However, in her heart, she has already confessed her love for Liang and is determined to be with him for all eternity. Before her departure, she reveals her true identity to the headmaster's wife and asks her to pass a jade pendant to Liang as a betrothal gift.

Liang accompanies his "sworn brother" for 18 miles to see her off. During the journey, Zhu hints to Liang that she is actually a woman. For example, she compares them to a pair of mandarin ducks (a symbol of lovers in Chinese culture), but Liang does not catch her hints and does not even have the slightest suspicion that his companion is a woman in disguise. Zhu finally comes up with an idea and tells Liang that she will act as a matchmaker for him and Zhu's "sister". Before they part, Zhu reminds Liang to visit her residence later so he can propose to marry her "sister". Liang and Zhu reluctantly part ways at the Changting pavilion.

Months later, when Liang visits Zhu, he discovers that she is actually a woman. They are devoted to and passionate about each other and they make a vow to the effect of "till death do us part". The joy of their reunion is short-lived as Zhu's parents have already arranged for her to marry a wealthy merchant, Ma Wencai. Liang is heartbroken when he hears the news and his health gradually deteriorates until he becomes critically ill. He dies in office later as a county magistrate.

On the day of Zhu's marriage to Ma, strong winds prevent the wedding procession from escorting the bride beyond Liang's grave, which lies along the journey. Zhu leaves the procession to pay her respects at Liang's grave. She descends in bitter despair and begs for the grave to open up. Suddenly, the grave opens with a clap of thunder. Without further hesitation, Zhu throws herself into the grave to join Liang. Their spirits emerge in the form of a pair of butterflies and fly away together, never to be separated again.

The Love Square WOULD!

Switch their roles out at several points and you do have a pretty strong Love-square tragic love story and I simply found that way too fitting to be a mere coincidence.

Again, it’s one of China's Four Great Folktales and the Butterfly has always seemed like an odd choice for the villain of this show, which does intergrade a lot of references in the narrative and characters to for example the Chinese numbers and the Zodiac system, their meanings and relations (Post here)

So this doesn’t seem that far-fetched at all, and in my opinion it just FEELS extremely right for Le Papillion’s/ Hawkmoth’s role in the show without making him culturally inappropriate since Gabriel is a white man, terrorist and child abuser. He, as the villain, is the narrative manifestation of “Butterfly Lovers” but without having him as an actual PERSON be its embodiment.

#Let's be real the Love Square WOULD die like this #This is in character for them just packed in a different story approach #ml theory #Ml meta theory #Chinese legend Butterfly Lovers #Ml love square #Butterfly Miraculous #Ml Chinese influence?#Marinette Dupain-Cheng #adrien agreste #gabriel agreste #le papillon #hawkmoth

finished my Ladybug costume redesign!

I wanted to evoke some of the visual differences between western ladybugs and Asian ladybugs for the wings and mask! also , I imagined the locks of hair that frame her face might be more curled inward, to resemble pincers.

Okay so like yeah Marinette is wayyy to overly obsessed with a boy so "bad role model" and yeah the Stokes twins make awful sludge videos for kids, but legitimately, as another half-Chinese person, I really do think they have some value added to the world as popular figures just for that. Like. We're everywhere. We can be anything. They don't make a big deal about being mixed -- they don't just run the "whaa no one's like me boo hoo" narrative --, and yet it's still there, it's not ignored.

But to Andi Mack the whole world btw <3

I can’t believe I have to say this again.

But like.

Do not leave comments that bash on the actual show whilst ‘complimenting’ my fanworks. It does not make me happy at all IN FACT I really HATE it when people do that.

I create stuff for this fandom because I adore the show with all its flaws and everything. I grew up with the show and I adore the characters so much. So when I receive comments or tags saying stuff like “Ugh if only the writers knew how to write like that” or “You should be in charge of canon cos canon is shit lol”, it just fucks up my mood and it makes me feel grossed out.

There are millions of things out there to write or say to other people about their work without having to bring down canon and what the actual professionals have worked on.

Keep your gripes about the show off my work.

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous ladybug and chat noir #ml fandom salt #i've been getting too many of this crap for years and some of them just get too personal #like for example in one of my AUs for fun i had marinette be able to speak chinese in a different dialect #and i had someone who praised me for it BUT bashed on the show for making marinette clueless about mandarin #which kinda pissed me off cos like #i have chinese in me but don't speak any of the languages there so does that mean i'm invalid too? lol #and in one of my recent writing i had someone lament that they wished i was writing for the show #like okay i know you mean it in a good way and you're not directly bashing the show #but the reason i can get away with creating and characterising the way i do is because i am working on them all ALONE #with no zag or money or producers getting in the way #and the stuff i create is always aimed to an audience that #is at least 15 years old #anyways if i keep going the tags will be longer than the river thames #my point is #keep your gripes private or off of other people's work #i wanna hear about what you LIKE about what i've created #not what the show has failed to do for you and whining about it
