"Im'a snek. I'm a slithery little sneaky snek." -Luka probably
You know when face shape, body type, hair, skin, eye shape and color are already decided and drawn digital it saves a lot more time! I had a plan for Luka's civilian design but when I went to do it digital he just took the reigns and demanded his jacket back (it was originally going to be tied around his waste)
Silencer always bothered me a bit? For the most part I likes his design, but the purple was a bit too vibrant. I chnaged it drastically to make it look more cyber-punk inspired.
I had zero plans for Viperion's diesgn outside of giving him snake bites and wanting him to not look like Aspik. And once again the design took over and demanded a leather trench coat, I don't make the rules guys.
For the re-write stuff, Luka is 18 (as is Juleka, they are still twins) He graduated a year early to get a job and start helping support their family. To the surprise of exactly no one Anarka kind of struggles to keep a job. They always had food on the table, and living on the Liberty meant there was always a roof over their heads. But new clothes were reserved for birthday and Christmas presents, everything else is usually thrifted. Luka got really good at basic tailoring and likes to paint, dye, bleach, or otherwise make his and his sisters clothes unique. When he started they would have little fashion shows for their mom, which sparked Juleka's love for modelling. This shared interest is part of what draws him to Marinette.
Luka is canonically an empath, and I ain't about to take that from him. Non-miraculous super powers exist in this world, it would not shock me in the slightest if Luka was powered. He can sometimes get overwhelmed in large spaces of conflicting emotions, but had been slowly adjusting to it with each performance he and Juleka do. Kind of like exposure therapy.
If your scared to do something and want someone to support you? Ask Luka, he'll probably do it to to show his support. When they were 6, Juleka wanted to get her ears pierced but was scared, so Luka decided he wanted his pierced too. He ended up loving them and got more earrings later, and an eyebrow piercing. So far only 1 has ever gotten infected. In turn when Luka wanted to dye his hair for the first time, Juleka decided to get it done as well (albeit without bleach for fear of damaging it to much)
While they've never met their father, they have a feeling they know who it is. Their mother doesn't hide her child support letters nearly as well as she thinks she does.

Gender-Changing Costume
Okay I had this idea while reading a genderfluid Adrien fic and I need to get it onto paper (well a tumblr post) so!
What if for people whose gender fluctuates would have their costume change representative of their gender that day? Because we know that their costume's represent who they are deep down, but what about the people see themself as something different everyday?
For example, what if a genderfluid Adrien is Chat Noir with his basic costume most of the time, but sometimes when she's feeling more feminine, her costume leans more like Kitty Noire or Lady Noire's costume
Or a bigender Marinette that switches between her basic costume and a more androgenous one for the days he's feelings less feminine
Or better yet! What about a gender non-confirming Luka who's costume switches between masculine, feminine, and androgenous every time they transform!
Okay so I may possibly make a few designs for my rewrite that follows this idea even though I'm probably gonna hate myself for it

Gems of Dupont - Rewrite
Since it's been bothering me these past few days, this is a list of how I would rewrite a fic I wrote last year, called The Gems of Dupont on Ao3 if I were to do so.
Spoiler Warning if you want to read the fic then read this
Premise: There is a group of students who while anonymous, are known to have a lot of power. Namely, they have a history of getting rid of unsavory figures in the school or associated with it. Their current targets are Marinette (stalking, minor abuse of power, and her actions towards her 'rivals'), Adrien (bystander, actions as Chat Noir towards Ladybug, etc.), Lila (obvious), Alya (misinformation, slander, and something else), Mme. Bustier (bystander, emotional manipulation, poor teaching methods), Mr. Damocles (fraud, neglect, etc.), and Fu (facing the consequences of his own actions)
Problems: A scene that I did not flesh out enough to show the reasoning behind it, too many characters involved in the takedown, illogical plot points, involving characters that make no sense, and moving too fast due to me losing interest but not wanting to go on hiatus or abandoning the work.
The Rewrite:
Establishing the Gems -
The sign of the Gems (a wreath of gems on Mme. Mendelieve's door) is shown, causing rumors to spread through the school
Adrien, Alya, and Lila ask what they are, giving them the full explanation
The Gems are a group of six that every year go through and gather evidence of people's wrongdoings, before giving them to those that would cause the most change. This most of the time results in someone leaving the school. When they are done, gems are left where the person sits. Each gem represents something, and while there are six Gems, there are more gems.
Chloe scoffs out loud while Lila internally scoffs. Chloe thinks she is immune, as she has never been hit before. Lila scoffs because she thinks she hasn't been caught, to begin with.
Cut to a group chat, where two people are arguing over the nicknames they have in the chat. "Eye candy" seems particularly frustrated and claims they bring something more to the team than their good looks.
Safety Measures -
We see a week pass, with people becoming more and more anxious waiting for something to happen. Some sign that this wasn't a fluke. The first week is always when it is that they send out the warnings, where are the warnings?
But one day, as Nino walks in, having not arrived with Alya due to her running off to record an akuma fight, he finds a note sitting on his desk. The note contains a list of numbers and timestamps. A small doodle of a gem sitting in the corner.
On another day, Rose finds a small slip of paper that has Prince Ali's phone number on it, also with a small doodle of a gem in the corner
Luka opens a note left on his bed. He finds the chords for a song, with no lyrics. Each page has small annotations of cherry blossoms in places where lyrics would be, and a doodle of a gem in the bottom corner.
Kagami is surprised when a note falls out of her locker, with a message in brail saying "He hesitates, where is his backbone?". A gem is engraved on the page
The first -
Alya is the first to go down. After a fight between her and Nino that results in their break up, she learns that her parents got a similar note to the one that started the fight.
The numbers and timestamps were coded for different videos on the Ladyblog. The one for Nino was instances where Alya endangered him and those around him. The fight was about her recklessness, and her want to get up close to akuma fights with little regard for her safety.
The one her parents got, however, was every single time she had endangered herself.
The two of them were busy with work often, so they only really watched the videos Alya sent them. Often those were the ones where she stayed safe for the most part or had a lot of views.
So they opened her blog, to investigate what these timestamps were, only to find their daughter once again throwing herself into situations she shouldn't have. Along with countless posts trying to figure out the identities of people who were trying to protect the city and a single post that had them questioning her integrity.
The next day, Alya was pulled into distanced learning. She was also grounded until further notice, with no blog posting for one day per timestamp listed.
Will continue this post tomorrow, as this is getting really long

Tales of Bloody Bug and Chat Noir - Chapter 10 - Reflekta
Beginning || Previous || Next
(Before we get into this, a quick amend from canon. In the episode Reflekta, we see when Chat Noir is transformed into a Reflekta, he loses his miraculous. This has been amended so when they are hit, their jewels don't disappear.)
            Alix sat on the ground as she watched the class before hers got their photo taken. She listened to the mindless chatter of her peers. Nathaniel mumbled to himself as he took notes for his latest comic idea. Adrien and Nino talked about some new music album. Juleka, Rose, Marinette, and Alya discussed Juleka’s self-inflicted jinx of not having a proper photo taken since she was young.
            Alix rolled her eyes as the class ahead of them finished. The photographer set up for her class before he ushered them in. She joined Max, Marinette, Mylene, and Rose on the bench for the bottom row.
            “Look, Sabrina, they’re up front in the baby seats. Go on, rugrats, don’t forget-!”
            Alix leaned over and locked eyes with Chloe. She snarled and slammed her fist into her hand. Chloe gulped and shut up.
            “Seriously, how do you do that? One look and that’s it. Chloe doesn’t say anything else to you,” Marinette remarked.
            Alix crossed her arms. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
            Marinette sighed and faced forward.
            The photographer got everyone else into position while Chloe complained the entire time not being next to Adrien. The photographer readied to take the photo until Marinette reminded him of Juleka, who he almost left out. Alix wished they had because the photographer spent too long rearranging them for a simple photo.
            “This is ridiculous. My stop is unacceptable!” Chloe yelled.
            Alix growled and jumped to her feet. She whirled around and faced Chloe, who tried to push Juleka out of the way. “Shut up! Shut. Up! No one cares what you want! Just stand in your stupid little spot and let’s get this over with!”
            Chloe flinched and stood in her spot.
            “Alix, my office after this,” Mr. Damocles said.
            “Worth it. Someone has to do the job you two refuse to do,” Alix muttered.
            Mr. Damocles and Miss Bustier sighed.
            “Alright, we’re perfect now. Everyone say, ‘Spaghetti,’” Vincent announced.
            “Spaghetti,” everyone said.
            Vincent clicked the button as the camera’s battery died. “I don’t believe this. I’m sorry, I have to go fetch another battery. Nobody move!”
            Alix let out a groan of frustration. She slipped off the bench onto the ground. “Can I just go to your office now, please?”
            “Not until after the photo. Get back into position, Miss Kubdel,” Mr. Damocles said.
            Alix huffed. She sat back on the bench as Juleka moved. She listened to Juleka ask to head to the restroom. She rolled her eyes until she heard Chloe mutter to Sabrina to ensure Juleka doesn’t come back.
            “Oh, Miss Bustier, I need to go to the bathroom,” Sabrina announced.
            Alix turned her head as Sabrina ran off and neither Miss Bustier nor Mr. Damocles stopped her. Didn’t either of them hear Chloe’s remark? She couldn’t have been the only one.
            “I have to go to the bathroom too,” Alix announced.
            “Alix, no. Stay put,” Mr. Damocles said.
            “But it’s an emergency.”
            “I don’t care. Stay.”
            “It’s a bloody emergency,” Alix growled.
            Mr. Damocles sighed. “Fine. Go.”
            Alix ran to the girl’s restroom. She burst into the room as Sabrina stuck a chair against the stall door.
            “Oh, you fucking bitch!” Alix roared.
            Sabrina gasped and screamed. She ducked away from Alix and ran back to the group. Alix snarled and tore the chair away. Juleka burst out of the stall once the chair was gone.
            “Let’s go!”
            Alix grabbed Juleka arm and yanked her out into the courtyard. Alix yelled out, but the group had their picture taken without them. The class had moved from their spots so the next class could get their photo taken.
            “Thank you for trying, Alix, but it wasn’t meant to be.”
            “That’s not true. It’s all because of Chloe!”
            Juleka frowned. “That’s right. And so long as Chloe is in the picture, I’ll never be seen or heard. I’ll always be invisible.”
            Juleka tore her arm away and ran off crying.
            Alix reached out in the direction Juleka ran off in. She begged her legs to move, but a sinister rage held her in place. Her stomach knotted and plunged as the sickening familiarity of this all-consuming rage. She took several deep, labored breaths in a desperate attempt to calm herself. She staggered back against a wall before she ran into the locker room. She fumbled with her locker combination before she tore it open.
            Alix reached into her backpack for her family heirloom. Tikki looked up in shock at the frenzied panic Alix was in. Alix clutched her heirloom and leaned against the lockers. She clicked down on the heirloom’s lid. It popped up with the hologram. She stared at it as she focused on calming herself.
            “Alix, what’s wrong? I’ve never seen you look like that,” Tikki said.
            “I felt it rise. That same anger from, well, not too long ago.”
            “What kind of anger?”
            “Blinding. Dangerous. Murderous. I… I don’t mind my anger, but I despise that side of it. And I felt it again. Almost lost myself. I just might still, and I don’t want to.”
            “What triggered it?”
            “I… the same that tried it before. Lessons I saw over and over again. Heard time and time again. Don’t let yourself be walked on. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. Don’t put up with anyone’s crap! This world will always take advantage of everyone, especially girls. So don’t ever let your guard down. Never let people see you bleed.”
            “Alix, that’s-,” Tikki started.
            “And I saw it. All the time. People would try to take advantage of her, but she wielded anger like a weapon. She stood her ground, and no one messed with her. That was until the world struck back and she withered away before my eyes. In the end, she just… she stopped… fighting. Her anger dulled and will gone. A-And… I… I just….”
            A new anger consumed Alix. This one bittersweet and foul. It mingled with her sorrow as tears gushed from her eyes uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth as she closed her watch and curled into a tight ball. Tikki wormed her way and settled at the nape of Alix’s neck.
            “Allow yourself this, Alix. You need to feel,” Tikki said.
            “I don’t want to. I don’t want to be reminded of it. I want to forget it and move on. I want-!”
            “You can’t keep ignoring the circumstances of your mother’s passing. You’ll need to face it one day. That day need not be today, but for today, let yourself feel.”
            Alix whimpered as more tears flooded her eyes. She curled into a tighter ball until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She gasped and scooted away. Her eyes widened seeing Luka, Juleka’s brother.
            “Are you… ok?” Luka asked.
            “Do I look ok?”
            Luka flinched at Alix’s harsh tone. Guilt tore through her that mingled with everything else.
            “I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve that. No, I’m not, but it’s ok.”
            “What’s… that?” Luka asked as he pointed to Tikki.
            “Oh. It’s a prototype I’ve been working on. I want to be an engineer, so I made a little AI creature, bot. I hoped it would be a nice companion, but it’s still in the development stages.”
            Alix nudged Tikki, who flew up. Tikki smiled and bowed her head.
            “Greetings. I am Proto-Beta, codename: Tikki. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, friend of Alix.”
            Luka’s eyes widened. Alix tilted her head seeing the smallest spark of life to his otherwise dull, blue eyes.
            “Do… do you think you could… make one for… me too?” Luka asked.
            Alix’s jaw dropped. “I-.”
            The door to the locker room slammed against the door. Luka recoiled and covered his ears. Panic and dread were plastered on his otherwise stoic face. Alix hid Tikki as a girl in a neon pink jester’s outfit strolled in. Alix curled back her lip at the rubbery look of the jester girl that carried some hint of Juleka’s face.
            “Juleka?” Alix and Luka asked.
            “Juleka’s gone. My name’s Reflekta and you’re both about to join the ranks of mes.”
            Reflekta aimed her right arm at Luka. He fumbled to stand only to fall back to the ground. Alix jumped up and shielded Luka from the attack Reflekta shot out from the trinket on her hand. Alix gagged as her appearance became a mirror image of Reflekta.
            “That’s much better. Now, stand aside. It’s time my dear brother got his extreme makeover,” Reflekta demanded.
            Alix steadied herself and dropped into a fighting stance. “Make me move.”
            “Do you really think you can take me?”
            “If I’m stupid enough to face Nathaniel as a villain, what makes you any different? At least he had something useful to keep me at bay. Can you say the same?”
            Reflekta hesitated. She stepped back and ran out of the locker room.
            “That’s what I thought,” Alix muttered.
            “Th-th-that wasn’t… that wasn’t Juleka… was it?” Luka asked.
            “It seems so. Look, go hide. Like this, she isn’t herself. You’ll be safer until she’s freed.”
            Luka nodded.
            Alix smiled and ran out of the locker room. She stopped and gawked at everyone that had been transformed. She looked to the front doors to see them blocked by lockers. She ran upstairs to find an empty classroom. She frowned seeing they all had students in them. She changed course and headed into the library. She ducked behind an isolated bookcase and transformed.
            Bloody Bug sighed, relieved to see her normal self and not Reflekta’s image. She ran out of the library in search of Reflekta. She frowned see the countless clones as she worked how to identify the real one.
            “Bloody Bug! You’re not Chloe, but you’re just who Hawkmoth wants,” Reflekta yelled.
            Bloody Bug looked around as a beam came her away. She ducked before, narrowly missing it. She stood as Reflekta approached her.
            “Where’s your precious kitty, Bloody Bug? I’d hate for him to miss out on this wonderful opportunity to receive the facelift of the century with his little Bug.”
            Bloody Bug blinked and looked past Reflekta at Chat Noir. He readied himself as he stealthily closed the gap. She snorted as she raised her right hand and waved it around.
            “Don’t you think this is all a little extreme?”
            “Nothing is too extreme. Not when it comes to Chloe. I’ll make her pay for excluding me. I’ll make her pay for getting rid of me. But only after I’ve dealt with you and claimed your earrings for Hawkmoth.”
            Bloody Bug hummed. Chat Noir was in position to take Reflekta by surprise. A thought crossed her mind to help him. She smirked and shrugged.
            “Alright. Nice and easy, right?”
            “Wait. Just like that? You’ll hand them over?” Reflekta asked.
            “Sure. Why not?”
            Bloody Bug approached Reflekta, who held out her hand for the earrings. Bloody Bug grabbed Reflekta’s arm and flipped Relekta over her head. Reflekta screeched as she was slammed into the ground. Chat Noir rushed in, grabbed Reflekta’s right arm, and smashed the trinket. The Akuma flew from the remains. Bloody Bug caught and purified it. Reflekta reverted to Juleka along with everyone afflicted.
            “What-? What happened? Where am I?” Juleka asked.
            “You’re back in your school. After being akumatized,” Bloody Bug answered.
            “I… I’m sorry.”
            “What happened to push you to accept such a deal?”
            “I missed out on the class picture because of Chloe’s pranks. Alix, my classmate, tried to save me, but because of me, we both missed out on it. I felt awful. Not only did my jinx ruin my photo, but my friend’s as well. I felt powerless. No one sees or hears me. The only time they do is when I act like my mom, but I don’t always like acting like my mom. But I have to just to be acknowledged by anyone.”
            “Not me,” Luka whispered.
            Juleka gasped. They all looked over as Luka shuffled towards them. She burst into sobbing fits as she ran towards Luka. She tackled him in a hug that sent them both to the floor.
            “Luka! I’m so sorry! I must have terrified you! I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
            Luka shook his head. “Alix protected me from… Reflekta.”
            Bloody Bug hummed. She looked out to the courtyard to see Chloe confronting Mr. Damocles. Her eyes widened seeing Marinette getting reprimanded. She started towards them but stopped as the anger nipped at her. She covered her mouth and staggered back.
            Chat Noir caught Bloody Bug. “Woah, easy. Are you ok?”
            “I… I don’t think I can confront Chloe on her part in this. I’ll…!”
            Chat Noir smiled and squeezed Bloody Bug’s shoulders. “You don’t need to. I’m here. Let me handle this.”
            Bloody Bug gulped as a tear fell from her eyes. “Thank you. I… I’ll see you later.”
            Chat Noir watched Bloody Bug leave before he approached Mr. Damocles, Chloe, and Marinette. He caught snippets of their conversation where Chloe caught Marinette sneaking into Mr. Damocles’s office with video evidence on her phone. He snarled and snatched Chloe’s phone.
            “Who dares-!” Chloe started.
            Chat Noir snapped the phone in half, then handed it back to her.
            “How dare you! I’m friends with Bloody Bug, fleabag, so you better watch yourself. She just might make a rug of you once she hears what you did,” Chloe snapped.
            “You think Bug would help someone as vile as you? Not after everything you did to hurt that poor girl that was akumatized?”
            “Please. Who are you really going to believe? Some nobody or someone like me.”
            “Chat Noir, has the threat been dealt with?” Mr. Damocles asked.
            “Reflekta is no longer a problem, but she’s still hurting. There’s still a risk she’d transform again.”
            Mr. Damocles stiffened. “Is there something we can do to help her?”
            “Yes! Let us take the photo again. Please, for Juleka,” Marinette butted in.
            “No way! Besides, aren’t you paying the photographer by the hour?” Chloe reminded.
            “What’s another hour compared to another akumatization?” Chat Noir countered.
            Mr. Damocles sighed. “Very well, we’ll take the photo again. I’ll let the class and photographer know.”
            “What? But-!” Chloe started.
            “Face it, Chloe, you’ve lost this one. Bloody Bug isn’t here. Even if she was, she wouldn’t defend you. Not for something like this.”
            “That’s not true! She’s my friend!”
            Chat Noir snarled, his ears pinned back, and tail lashed. “You don’t deserve to be her friend. You don’t deserve to be her anything. She’s the most amazing person ever and you’re just a little monster. You don’t even need an Akuma to be one.”
            “How dare you! You’re going to eat those words, fleabag. Mark my words!”
            “Consider them marked,” Chat Noir growled.
            Chloe snarled and stormed off. Chat Noir shook his head as he hid away and de-transformed. He snuck around until he found Nino and stayed near Nino but kept his eyes on the photographer. He was relieved to see them set up to have his homeroom class take their picture again. Everyone was arranged as before, except Alix was missing.
            “Miss Bustier? Where’s Alix?” Mylene asked.
            “She seems to have left school grounds. I’ve already informed her father of this,” Mr. Damocles answered.
            Adrien knotted his brow as he looked at Alix’s empty seat. A budding suspicion gnawed away at him. Bloody Bug had left, and Alix was still gone. There were some similarities between the two, but were they the same person?
            “Alright, last time we do this. Everyone say, ‘Spaghetti.’”
            “Spaghetti!” everyone cheered.
            The photographer took the photo and straightened. “Alright. All done.”
            Juleka beamed beside Adrien. Marinette, Alya, Mylene, and Rose all hugged her as the final bell rang. Everyone dispersed, gathered their things, and headed out. Adrien took a moment to look around for Alix but didn’t see her anywhere. He hummed as he headed out to his ride.
            Adrien got in the car but kept his eyes on the school. He waited to see if Alix would make an appearance at all, but she was still missing. The suspicion gnawed and ate away at him the entire ride home. He headed straight for his room up to his window.
            “Uh, what do you think you’re doing?” Plagg asked.
            “I’m going to look for Bloody Bug.”
            “How? She’s likely out of uniform, going about her life. Just as we should by staying here and eating cheese.”
            “No, Plagg. She’s hurting. Something happened and she needs someone. She’s probably alone and suffering. I can’t let that stand. She needs me. Even if she doesn’t, she shouldn’t have to be alone.”
            “You don’t even know who she is. How will you find her?”
            “I have my suspicions.”
            “What? Well, nix them. You two aren’t supposed to know who each other are.”
            “Why is that?”
            “Because that’s how it is.”
            “Well, it’s stupid. Especially when my partner is out there suffering. You want to know what’s stupid? Expecting me to sit by for her to bled because of some rule you can’t even give proper reasoning behind.”
            “Look, not everything is going to make sense. Regardless, the rules are there for a reason. Usually to keep you guys safe, but that’s that.”
            “Safe from what exactly? What harm could come with us knowing?”
            “Well… I mean, your enemy could akumatize one of you and learn who the other is. He may come for either of you directly.”
            “Wouldn’t that help us stop him?” Adrien pressed.
            “I mean, it could, but it could also put you two in a lot of danger.”
            “Maybe so, but you’re running on an assumption that we’d get akumatized in the first place. I know I’d never let our enemy manipulate me, and do you honestly think Blood would fall as easily too?”
            “Look, she’s got spunk, but also a temper. She’s wild and impulse, so she’s a risk.”
            “You’re wrong. If she’s so much a risk, why isn’t she akumatized right now?”
            “Maybe… maybe Hawkmoth didn’t want to use her right now.”
            “You’re telling me that someone with such strong emotions with some kind of major trauma isn’t as enticing as say some kids who got humiliated. Sure, it’s no better, but you really think he’d pass up on all that negativity?”
            “Well, probably not.”
            “Exactly, and right now, she needs me. She needs her best friend.”
            “And where are you even going to start looking? Even with your hunch, she could be anywhere.”
            Adrien paused. Plagg did have a point. He could end up searching the entire city to never find Bloody Bug. Even if she was Alix, that still didn’t help him as he knew less about Alix than Bloody Bug. Except he knew about Bloody Bug’s late mother. There could be a chance she could be at a graveyard, visiting her mother’s grave. It was a shot in the dark, but it was worth investigating first before he roamed aimlessly.
            “Maybe so, but I need to try. I’d rather spend the rest of the day looking for her and not find her than to not try at all.”
            Plagg sighed. “There’s no convincing you otherwise, is there?”
            “Not at all. Let’s go. Plagg, claws out.”

Updated to add the bois
Anyone who knows who the guy on the left is without looking through my tumblr gets a veteran award or something.
This is Luka’s friend group in the reboot/rewrite. Since he’s not being retconned into being a 15 year year old, I figured it only right to give him 17 year old friends. Who also happen to be ex-criminals who worked for Hawkmoth before realizing they made a big mistake. And because they are all collectively Chat Noir fans, they named their punk rock band Kitty Section. (Juleka is a honorary member of the band, but none of the others are)
Their band/club uniform is leather jackets, cause that’s cool. They’re cool. Smooth brained but cool. Cool cool cool cool cool. No doubt no doubt.

Stupid MLB 'Rewrite' Lore Dump!: Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland
Luka Couffaine, the frontman of Vampire Revival and notorious cheater, is nothing but the spitting image of his father. The only thing Jagged Stone (or, as he was born, Jack Zimmerman) had that Luka doesn't is that he combined the two.
(whole ass fake article under the cut)
Founded in 1978, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland owed its inspirations to the psychedelic movements of the 1960s as well as musical giants such as David Bowie and The Rolling Stones. Their first album, titled "Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland" was not a commercial success, but in recent years has amassed a following of fans who prefer the older psychedelic style of this album. In contrast, the second album, "A Kiss Too Far", was an instant hit that took on a much more "glam rock" aesthetic, helping popularize the style in France and Germany.
Much like his glam rock contemporaries, Jack Zimmerman took on a flamboyant, ostentatious, and occasionally androgynous style in his performances, and encouraged his bandmates--the aforementioned "Waifs of Wonderland"--to do the same. Each also adopted a stage name ending in "-ka". Drummer Anne "Anarka" Couffaine, Rhythm guitarist Ellen "Elvenka" Blackwell, Bassist Lucy "Lunoka" Müller, and Keyboardist Tori "Tonika" Blackwell are considered the most recognizable "Waifs of Wonderland", though other instrumentalists and artists have been featured in JSWW albums and been given their own "Waif Names" accordingly.
Aside from their music, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland is best known for the sheer amount of scandal they used to further drive publicity. Zimmerman was reported to be in committed relationships with all permanent "Waifs" at various points in the band's career, with later testimonies by band members reporting that Zimmerman was involved with no less then two relationships simultaneously (though it was not confirmed whether these stayed within the band itself). This caused significant strife for the band in their later years, notably leading Anne Couffaine to formally leave the group in 1988, shortly preceding the births of Luka Marcel and Juliette Élise Couffaine.

oh boy, there we go. if you got this far (or skipped past to get here), thank you :) tell me if y'all want to see more lore drops like this! mostly stuff for worldbuilding that isn't related to the main plot, obvi.
also, if it wasn't clear by the fact that i decided that Nino's name is now Nicolas Lahiffe... I like giving them all new names :) That, and because TWEOS is set nebulously around 2008-09, I changed the timeline of everything accordingly. :)))))

Miraculous reworkering
Wish i could draw;
Marinette: tone down her obsessive tendencies, and give her a costume that reflects her Chinese heritage, she seems rather proud of it
Adrien: Give this boy some brain wrinkles!also add some elements of stereotypical punkish leather jacket to his costume, because being chatnoir (for him at least) is an act of rebellion
Gabriel/Hawkmoth: Make it 92.4% more obvious that his grief is at the wheel when he’s hawkmoth with scenarios like of lucidity like in “Gorizilla“
Alya: ... Skip
Lila: I would have volpina be a real miraculous holder, but has it taken away by master fu
Nino: he’s fine
Kagami: Well, i’ve got a headcanon that canon!Kagami is on the spectrum. so that, also have her costume have elements of tokusatsu heroes!
Chloé: Slow down her redemption arc, but have stick!
Luka, Juleka, and Rose::: i can’t think of anything

Miraculous: Magical Connections Relationships
So unlike in canon, in this version Marinette actually has friends BEFORE the events of the story and doesn't just befriend her class and gives them all powerful jewels
More than half the main cast isn't a part of Marinette/Adrien's homeroom class, in fact they aren't even in the same class, so everyone becoming friends (and subsequently heroes) isn't as easy as it was in canon
So instead of becoming friends by being classmates, everyone is connected to someone else in one way or another (everyone's either friends, related, or a couple)
The couples canon to the story before Origins are Max/Kim, Mylène/Ivan, and Juleka/Rose
A few more ships will become canon throughout the story but the only one's I'll mention now are Alya/Nino and Marc/Nathaniel (as both are canon and hence don't change)
Marc, Socqueline, and Marinette are all cousin's, all of their mom's are sisters
Just like in canon, Félix and Adrien are cousins
Also something never really mention in canon is that Ivan has a little sister?? So she's also here
And the other canon siblings are still around so if you like Chris, Ella, Etta, or Jalil don't worry, I didn't forget them
Chloé has... actually that's a spoiler so no info on Chloé's family tree for now (:
Other than that, everyone else is connected via some kind of friendship, with the only one I'll mention now is that Félix and Luka are (kinda) friends
If you have any questions about my rewrite, please ask, I'll try to answer all of them to the best of my ability! <3

Tales of Bloody Bug and Chat Noir - Chapter 20 - Friends
Beginning || Previous || Next
            Alix headed out during lunch for the Couffaine residence. She knew the twins headed home for their lunch and she needed to give Fluff to Luka. She probably could have waited another day, or until next week when she’d be back in school, but she felt stable enough to meet with him. She’d rather take the opportunity now before something came along and pissed her off.
            Alix arrived at Liberty as Luka and Juleka arrived. She took a deep breath and waved them down. Juleka’s face lit up as she rushed over while Luka trotted right behind.
            “Alix! Are you ok? Miss Bustier told us you’d be out of school for the week. Did something happen?” Juleka asked.
            “A lot of things happened. Things I don’t want to discuss with you just yet. I’m sorry.”
            Juleka’s shoulders drooped. “Is it about Marinette?”
            A long pause. “Has she said anything?”
            “Yes. She’s worried about what she did while akumatized to you, but… mostly Adrien.”
            Alix sneered. “Whatever, it doesn’t matter. Look, I need to speak with Luka, alright. I do that, and I’ll be out of your hair.”
            “Would you like to stay with us for lunch? I’m sure one extra person would be alright, right, Luka?”
            “Uh, I guess?” Luka asked.
            “See? So, will you?”
            “No. It’s nothing against you, but I just… I need more time.”
            Juleka frowned and looked away. “I get it. When it comes to us you want nothing to do with us, but when it comes to Adrien-.”
            Alix sucked in a breath. Her hand spasmed and shook before she balled it into a fist. Her every impulse screamed at her as she moved on her own. She grabbed Juleka’s shirt and yanked Juleka down.
            “Fuck you. Fuck you and all your fucking friends! I never asked to be used and manipulated by your precious little Marinette. I never asked to be tricked and lied to by all of you. You all never cared about me, well, maybe Rose, but not the rest of you.”
            “Alix, that’s-!” Juleka started.
            Alix roared and tossed Juleka near the wall. Juleka stumbled and caught herself when Alix slammed her against the wall. Juleka cried out and sunk to the floor while Alix seethed. Alix took several deep breaths before she grabbed Luka’s wrist and dragged him onto Liberty.
            “Enough of this. C’mon, Luka, I want to get this over with.”
            Luka yelped as Alix dragged him into the hold. She let him go and took Fluff out of her hoodie pocket. His eyes widened and jaw dropped.
            “Is that… one of your prototypes?”
            “Yes. I never had a chance to give you an answer, but here. Its name is Fluff. I just… please keep her hidden when in public. I’m not exactly ready for people to see them. Can you do that?”
            “Of course. I… I understand that feeling.”
            “Thank you. And please make sure Marinette and Alya don’t see Fluff. I don’t want to be bombarded by them on anything if they take an interest in it.”
            A long pause. “Alix, do you hate them? Do you… do you hate Juleka?”
            “Look, Luka, I don’t know. Everything just… just came crashing down around me. Everything I thought I knew was a lie. A sweet, comfortable lie I told myself because I wasn’t ready to face the truth. Or rather, I didn’t know the truth until a few days ago. Now that I do, everything is different and I’m… I’m reeling still.”
            Luka’s eyes widened before he looked around the room. He spotted paper and a pen. He took them and wrote down his number and gave it to Alix.
            “Is this your number?” Alix asked.
            “Yes. I… I usually don’t like people having it, but I like you. You’re not like everyone else. You understand. You and Bloody Bug.”
            Alix smiled. “Well, I’ll keep in touch. And I’ll be sure to warn you when I’m heading over to check on Fluff and her performance.”
            “Well, if it would help you, I can come to your place.”
            “I appreciate the sentiment, but you don’t seem to do well with crowds and people, and I live right next to the Louve.”
            Luka tensed up. “Oh. Uh, well, I can manage school, right?”
            “Again, I appreciate it, but don’t make yourself uncomfortable on my behalf.”
            “It’s not just for you… but myself.”
            “What?”
            “I want to be better. I want to be like Bloody Bug. She told me she deals with her own triggers. It’s hard to believe seeing her as she is in the media, but up close and within closed off walls, I saw it. She’s just like us, but she’s able to push through and be our hero. If she can do it, I know I can.”
            “That’s noble, but not everyone is built the same, Luka. Whatever she’s dealing with must be easier to manage than whatever you are.”
            “Maybe, but I want to try. I just… I just don’t want to live like this forever. After being akumatized, everything has been… different. I’m constantly walking through a maze and finding new dead ends and I just want out. I want to be free.”
            Fluff squeaked. “Oh, good. My mind’s always a labyrinth too. Maybe we can both escape them. Well, you can escape yours. Mine is eternal torment.”
            Luka raised a brow.
            Alix chuckled nervously. “I think you see why I ask you keep her a secret. She’s… she’s still very much in development.”
            “Still in development and constantly evolving,” Fluff added.
            “Right. Anyway, I better go before… yeah.”
            Alix handed Luka Fluff and ran out. She didn’t stop until she was far enough away from Liberty. She sighed and sat on a bench. She put Luka’s number into her phone when she got a message from Adrien. She looked at it to see he’d be a little late coming over because of fencing. Another message popped up where he asked her if she could meet him at the school because of fencing team tryouts and he heard Marinette was going to try out. She bristled and told Adrien she’d be there. She took a deep breath, put her phone away, and headed home.
~~
            Adrien stood in line with the other fencers on the team. He was thankful for the mask that concealed the discomfort on his face seeing Marinette opposite him. She looked around, likely looking for him. He gulped as Mr. D’Argencourt announced for them to pair off with the new students to see who would make the club. He moved to anyone else other than Marinette when a fencer in a full red fencer’s outfit grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.
            Adrien breathed a sigh of relief as his opponent greeted him, then dropped into a fighting stance. He did the same and his opponent lunged. He sucked in a breath as he parried the attack and stumbled back. He fought to keep his footing as his opponent relentlessly held the offense. He slammed into a pole as his opponent lunged to take the victory.
            Adrien swung around the pole and put pressure back onto his opponent. The clash of their swords rang out as they danced around the courtyard in their match. He dared a few glances as he planned his next move. He eyed the stairs and nodded. He parried the next attack and ran up the steps. His opponent gave chase and lunged again. He parried again as their swords clashed once more.
            Adrien jumped back and headed up into the library. His opponent slammed into him as they went barreling into the library. He sucked in a breath and readied himself as his opponent lunged. They danced around the library, swords ringing, when they finally landed a blow on each other at the same time.
            Adrien bent over and gasped. He lifted his mask as he looked around. He didn’t see anyone except Marinette. He grimaced as he held out his hand. His opponent looked at it, then at Marinette.
            “Who won?” Adrien’s opponent demanded.
            “Uh, I don’t know. It was all too fast. Um, I think… Adrien?”
            “What? No! Neither of us got the win. It was a tie,” Adrien argued.
            Mr. D’Argencourt ran up and looked between them. “Incredible! I’ve never seen a fencer like that since mine ancestor, Darkblade. Young knave, kneel.”
            Adrien’s opponent stood for a moment, then knelt. Mr. D’Argencourt tapped his fencing sword on each of their shoulders.
            “Rise, knight. Rejoice! Thou art a member of D’Argencourt Academy.”
            Adrien grinned and held out his hand. “Welcome to the team!”
            Adrien’s opponent looked at him, took his hand, and removed their mask. Adrien’s jaw dropped seeing his opponent was a Japanese girl with black hair that shone blue in the light.
            “Woah! Where’d you learn to fence like that?” Adrien asked.
            “I am a Tsurugi. It’s in my blood.”
            Mr. D’Argencourt cheered. “A Tsurugi? In my Academy? Huzzah! Come, we celebrate!”
            “Wait, are we done here?” Adrien asked.
            “Yes. A new member has been knighted.”
            “Sweet. Well, I gotta get going then.”
            Adrien ran out of the library before anyone could stop him. He grabbed his bag and Alix’s homework before he headed out of the school. He stopped right outside the school when he saw Alix on the sidewalk.
            “Alix! Hey!” Adrien called.
            Alix put her phone away as she turned to Adrien. She watched him gallop down the steps as Marinette and another girl ran out of the school.
            “Yo, Adrien, who’s with the baker girl? Another fangirl?” Alix asked.
            “No. She’s-,” Adrien started.
            “I am Kagami Tsurugi, heiress to the Tsurugi line. I am the newest member for the fencing team, and student to your homeroom class. I am also Adrien’s bodyguard.”
            “What?” Adrien and Marinette yelled.
            “Cool. You can join us,” Alix said.
            “What?” Adrien and Marinette yelled.
            “Is something wrong?” Kagami demanded.
            “No! I just… Father didn’t mention this. It’s just a surprise.”
            “I see. And why is that one surprised?” Kagami asked, pointing to Marinette.
            Alix smirked. “She’s his stalker. Huge a major fangirl. Pretty sure she has a lock of his hair she prays to at night.”
            Marinette gasped. She frowned and charged down the steps towards Alix. “I do not! Why would you say-?”
            Wind whooshed past Adrien and Kagami as Alix slammed into Marinette, knocking Marinette off her feet and into the steps.
            “I’ve had it up to here, Marinette! I made a promise, and I intend to believe,” Alix hissed.
            “What promise are you talking about?” Marinette whimpered.
            Alix leaned in, grabbed Marinette, and pulled her close. “Chloe’s not the only one that will have made your life a living hell.”
            “What? Alix, please, don’t-!”
            Alix shoved Marinette down into the steps. She snorted and skated back to Adrien and Kagami. “So… I’ll meet you guys in, say, an hour, I guess?”
            “What are we doing?” Kagami asked.
            “Study group. Adrien has been helping me since I’m technically out of school until next week due to illness.”
            “Are you contagious?”
            “Mental illness, new girl.”
            Kagami hummed. “Very well. We’ll see you in an hour.”
            Alix nodded. She waved good-bye and skated off.
            “So, Kagami, you’re really my new bodyguard? What about Gorilla?”
            “I don’t know who that is.”
            “Oh, uh, my other bodyguard. The one who’s also my chauffeur.”
            “I see. If you think I’m replacing him, I’m not. I’m simply here to keep you safe during school hours and when you are hanging out with your friends.”
            “Oh? That’s great! You’ll be like a friend too.”
            “Not likely. I’m not here to socialize. I’m here to keep you safe.”
            “Oh. That’s too bad. Well, I’ll see you later.”
~~
            Adrien arrived at the Louve museum. He grabbed his bag and headed for Alix’s house when he heard his name. He turned and saw Ivan, Nathaniel, Rose, and Mylene. He grinned and waved them down.
            “Hey, guys! You ready to surprise Alix?” Adrien asked.
            “You bet! I even made cupcakes for us all!” Rose cheered.
            And I got some killer music for us to jam to,” Ivan added.
            “Awesome! Let’s go!” Adrien exclaimed.
            Adrien led the others towards Alix’s house when Kagami joined him.
            Rose gasped. “Adrien, who’s your friend?”
            “Uh, this is Kagami. Kagami, these are my friends. Well, some of them,” Adrien remarked.
            “Are they hostile?” Kagami asked.
            “Not at all. Cupcake?” Rose asked.
            “Uh, no. No, thank you.”
            Rose smiled. “Ok!”
            Kagami frowned. “Your friends are weird, Adrien.”
            “Hey, we’re not weird!” Nathaniel protested.
            “If you’re not weird, then you better get the fuck out of here,” Alix remarked.
            Everyone turned as Alix skated up to them.
            “Oh! Hey, Alix! I thought you would have made it home by now,” Adrien commented.
            “Took the scenic route. Needed to clear my head after that shit with Marinette.”
            “What happened with Marinette? Is she hurt? Did you hurt her?” Nathaniel demanded.
            Alix rolled her eyes as she grabbed Nathaniel’s jacket. “Do you still love Marinette?”
            “What? Who? Me? No, not at all,” Nathaniel said.
            Alix snorted and released Nathaniel. “Good, cause she’ll never love you.”
            Nathaniel’s shoulders drooped as Alix approached the others.
            “So, what’s going on? Why are the rest of you here?” Alix asked.
            “We wanted to check on you! Miss Bustier told us you’d be out due to illness,” Rose said.
            “Yeah! And we heard from Marinette about what happened, but we still wanted to check on you and make sure you were ok,” Mylene added.
            “That’s right! And I brought cupcakes. The frosting is different colored and has unicorn sprinkles just because I like them and I wasn’t sure what to make you,” Rose rambled.
            “And I brought us some killer music to enlighten everyone else with since we aren’t allowed it during school study hall,” Ivan chimed in.
            “I don’t have anything like them, but I did bring my sketches of the next Bloody Bug comic. I think it’s my best yet and I just know you’ll like it,” Nathaniel boasted.
            Alix deadpanned. “Does it include you hooking Bloody Bug up with someone again?”
            Nathaniel stepped back. “No, not at all. I’m honestly a little insulted you’d think that.”
            “Oh yeah? Give me the sketches.”
            “I don’t feel like it.”
            “Give.”
            “No.”
            Alix narrowed her eyes. “You have five seconds, Tomato. Run.”
            Nathaniel squeaked and bolted.
            “One… two… alright. Hand them over, bitch!”
            Alix took off after Nathaniel. Nathaniel screamed as Alix pinned him down. Ivan goaded them on while Rose and Mylene rushed over to separate them. Adrien and Kagami watched as Alix and Nathaniel wrestled until she ripped his sketchbook away.
            “Now let’s see… what the fuck! What did I tell you? No Bloody Bug with Chat Noir!”
            “But they’d make an amazing couple. Do you blame me?”
            “Yes! That’s it!”
            Nathaniel screamed as Alix wrestled with him. Kagami raised a brow they others fought to separate them.
            “Your friends are… unique, Adrien,” Kagami remarked.
            “They are certainly different than the crowd we run with. The posh elites, that is. It’s honestly… refreshing to be amongst them. Don’t you think?”
            “I… have no comment.”
            Adrien frowned until Rose ran up and shoved Nathaniel’s sketchbook into his hands.
            “You hold onto this. Alix won’t hurt you,” Rose said and returned to the others.
            Curiosity got the better of Adrien and he flipped through it. He marveled Nathaniel’s drawings and stories until he got to the part with Bloody Bug and Chat Noir kissing. He curled his nose at the drawing and shut the book.
            “See! Even Adrien doesn’t like it. Remove it!” Alix roared.
            “No! Besides, what other options are there? We’ve only seen the other heroes a handful of times and they’re all girls!”
            “The fuck does that mean?” Alix demanded.
            “Uh, Nathaniel, I think-,” Ivan started.
            “Get him Alix!” Mylene yelled.
            Alix charged at Nathaniel, scooping him up, and threw him over her shoulder.
            “No, please! I’m sorry for whatever I said!” Nathaniel begged.
            “Nathaniel, I’m ashamed. We’re going to teach you a lesson. Let’s go, ladies!” Rose ordered.
            Alix led Mylene and Rose to her place. Ivan sighed and followed behind them.
            “Let’s go, Kagami. Don’t want to be left behind.”
            Kagami grunted and followed Adrien into the madness.
