Me when a character who was formerly bad grows and changes for the better and redeems themselves and becomes one of the good guys

Me when a character who was formerly good gets corrupted and worn down and becomes one of the bad guys and every fight between them and the good guys is charged with so much angst and layers because of their shared history

Redemption Arcs my beloved AND Corruption Arcs my beloved <3

As someone who enjoys a good Chloenette fic, I have to ask: How do you think an evil Chloenette situation would occur. (My computer won't make question marks...) Mostly asking because, let's face it, Chloe and Marinette DESERVE the chance to become villains and rule Paris together!

Hello!

Ooh, evil chlonette! There's numerous ways to write/execute it, but if I had to choose (I'm actually planning an anti-hero/corruption-ish arc for them for my chlonette verse) I'd make Chloe go corrupted first. She's been akumatized for what, 7 times? And I think there's more to come if the writers won't write her off yet. Anyways, it starts when she's finally had enough and sticking to canon (for a bit), she doesn't have anyone to lean on or let alone talk to. Lila, after obtaining Nooroo, offers her a fresh start as being her right hand woman (again). Chloe accepts, what else can she do at this point? Everything's hazy, confusing, blinding and all she wants is to do something - anything. She gets the peacock miraculous which Lila has already akumatized (she doesn't want Chloe to escape) and since Chloe's been akumatized (her previous ones being very powerful) she doesn't notice the sudden charge of powers that aren't the same with the bee.

The corruption is slow, the magic seeps into her the more she fights and wears the Peafowl miraculous until she finally struggles whenever she's de-transformed. It becomes a lifeline and slowly, her memories start becoming hazy. Her emotions are both all over the place but it's pushed at the back of her mind. She's slowly stopping being Chloe, and becoming what Lila wants - a weapon. But it's gonna backfire in the long run cause while Chloe is losing some of her memories, it gives her less inhibitions to anything. Like her obsession with Marinette and Ladybug.

I had two possible endings for it. Either Chloe is 'saved' or she's managed to defeat (debating if I should have it as death or keep it PG) most of the heroes and toys with Ladybug. Ladybug is frustrated and angry and just close to getting akumatized herself. But whenever the butterfly gets too close and she's struggling to fight it, Chloe snatches it off.

"Stop. Succumb to it willingly. You don't have to keep on fighting me, Ladybug. Become my other half and together we can rule Paris with no limitations."

Lila scoffs the first time Chloe explained her reason, saying she was still obsessed with the red clad hero even before she was offered the peafowl miraculous. Chloe doesn't budge, and Lila can't lose a valuable asset so she doesn't push. For now.

I want the corruption for Ladybug to be confusing until it's blinding. Why is Chloe stopping her from getting akumatized? Why is she not finishing her off and taking her miraculous? Why is she taking her time? Why is Chloe not acting like Chloe?

During their fights and interactions, they talk. They spit poisoned words and cusses and Chloe is thrilled. Thrilled that Ladybug does have darkness within her. Thrilled that her obsession wasn't misplaced and if she played her cards right, Ladybug would be obsessed with her.

Once she's fallen (maddeningly) in love with Chloe, she accepts the butterfly and together they (easily) take down Lila and rule Paris. Very slow burn-ish.

That's one of my ideas so far. There's another one but it's a Chloe Redemption after a corruption arc (kinda?). Thanks for the ask, this was interesting!

Love hero x villain. Love corruption arcs. Love the hero descending into madness. But what I love the most are corruption arcs where even the villain is like...wait no Stop. Not Like That.

Perfection. 🤌🤌🤌

I desperately want people *cough* Anakin *cough* to get as many clues (visions) throughout their life that they will end up as a villain. As many oh this is gonna sting in hindsight moments. Valuable life lessons, thrown left right and center. To get hit by the future telling them not to go ape shit crazy.

And in the end it's all futile - they do still fall to the bottom of that ravine of darkness. But... Just slightly to the left. Just a tad smidge different. I want to be tormented in five similar ways on Friday but you are all saving and redeeming them! Corruption arcs are so underrated nowadays - where are my pain and hurt?

ah, you know what my first thought was when i got to this scene?

when logan started off as the side who tried to approach problems as fairly and open-mindedly as possible, and encouraged thomas to not jump to conclusions or assume ill intent.

but he gets ignored, underestimated and sidelined so often that he himself started giving in to the cognitive distortions.

Did you ever expect folks to get invested in the whole..hmm..can't call it a love triangle...or a romantic rivalry either...on Tyren's "hopeless suitor going yandere" situation?

Honestly? Not at all, he wasn't supposed to be super vital but as the story progressed I got attached to him along with the other flock OCs and developed them more and so forth...which is just what kinda happens in the brain. Tyren is either a pest or a rather imposing antagonist depending on you look at it, but this is also a 'we like antagonists' website and I am guilty of such too

#he's a terrible character terrible as in you would not want to be friends with him in real life #dog goes from pretty boy and good friend to a rather uhhh unhealthy lil asshat #corruption arc and all that

characters who have to redeem themselves. Except “redemption” isn’t what they expected. They begged for forgiveness and now their every action is monitored. They have to let everyone know that they messed up— they can’t go anywhere without the whispers and dark stares following them.

Once proud, they now walk with head bowed and never never make eye contact. They’ve leaned that much. They have scars where everyone can see, purposefully placed there as a reminder of what happens when they mess up. It doesn’t matter how much they swear they’ve changed, the blows come all the same. Casual now— just backhanded slaps and grabbing and quick orders to shut up—

they’ve learned their lesson. They don’t want redemption.

so. so fukuchi implicitly believes fukuzawa incorruptible or at the very least the one he trusts in most, by agreeing that dictatorships are poisonous and yet still entrusting him with one order. but the intro to fukuzawa’s backstory we get is that he ultimately was changed by the nature of the assassinations he undertook; that he quit because he was starting to enjoy the killing. the ability to remain impartial and resist corruption of being is tied to the ability to step back from power. to step down when you’re ahead. but fukuzawa can no longer do that can he.

#sorry. my thoughts are not well formed. also I cannot remember if there was something else to the entrusting one order thing #that gives a different connotation to fukuchi’s decision here #but from what I recall. he just trusts fukuzawa #hm.#bsd #storyrambles #bsd spoilers #bsd chapter 112 #bsd fukuzawa #bsd fukuchi #this is not to say I think fukuzawa’s going to undergo a corruption arc or anything #I think more likely it’s going to be more about grief guilt and bitterness over this role he was forced into #but still. things to think about.
