#literally any kwami can be used for evil why is it only ever nooroo

[hezuart]

....I miss the days when we had good cartoons and good stories or actual role models on TV, like Last Airbender and Teen Titans. Miraculous Ladybug. No. It's not that good, and the role model part, hell no. Like, You have Marinette, who is supposed to be the main protagonist, and she has friends AND her parent's approval of stalking him! Only one episode did someone find this weird and who may that person be? Alix in the episode where the baby is super tall and a giant, and then Rose said it was romantic. Like no! No! That is not okay! Stalking someone and calling it romantic! It's freakin Twilight all over again. A stalker vampire who is manipulative and a***ive, and then there is the werewolf who doesn't know boundaries. I liked Marinette in the episode Origins, where we got to know the character, OUTSIDE of her stalking. That was when she was likable and actually had some character outside of Adrien and stalking.

Adrien, he was a bit interesting, back in that episode, he wanted to go to school and make friends, while his dad was locking him up, unable to make friends after the death of his wife. But then...now we have stalking Maricreep and a cardboard cutout.

Oh! Oh! The icing on this crap cake of a show is the creator. I won't tell everything, but...I'll list a few things he's done - Claimed he and his team make better designs than Pixar( Way to insult the studio that pioneered the very form of animation Miraculous Ladybug uses today, Astruc, and he makes a huge risk, considering Disney is airing his show) -Deemed Chloe irredeemable, even though there is PLENTY of time to redeem her!

-He criticized Wonder Woman 1984, for having things that happened in the show, End of the movie, was exactly the same thing that happened at the end of Season 3.

There is much more, but their sensitive things involve horrible things, and I don't want to list them all. I can't watch this show, without getting mad. I'll laugh a bit because it's so stupid and their stories are laughable. Like nothing in the show matters, and the plot is so inconsistent. The things that made it interesting and had unique premises, like you said. But now...ugh. This show is leaving me with a bad taste in my mouth, I wanna rant about Kingdom Hearts again, and how it doesn't make sense lol

I don't know about Marinette being a role model, but the writing of her character is certainly... not great.

I've heard some things about the creator of the series myself, none of which were very good.

Honestly though, aside from writing, there's several other reasons why ML is a mess. It all involves the production of it.

It has like... three animation studios behind it which explains the inconsistent animation and jumbled airdates. It's a "joint effort by France's Zagtoon and Method Animation Studios with Toei Animation of Japan and SAMG Animation of South Korea."

So right off the bat there's going to be translation issues and inconsistency.

Miraculous Ladybug was originally pitched in 2D

The main characters were "Bridgette" and "Felix". The creators realized that Felix is too cold hearted / uninterested in Bridgette which doesn't make sense why she would crush on him. His Chat Noir personality was fine though. As to why Felix was cold hearted is most likely because of how he grew up with his father, isolated and unwanted. While I agree Felix needs more spark to him for Bridgette's crush to be believable, instead, the creators completely erased him and replaced him with a cardboard cut-out of a boy named Adrien who just lets his dad abuse him and doesn't see anything wrong with it and still loves him. While the Felix in the pilot already realizes his relationship with his dad is a lost cause.

The pilot was a completely different, but balanced dynamic.

Bridgette was actually super open about her feelings. Felix found her constant stalking/crushing annoying and did his best to ignore her, just like Ladybug does to his Chat Noir personality.

So it wasn't like Felix was the bad guy here, their level of interest was the same! Their dynamics were the same!

Instead, in the 3D version, Adrien, instead of not being interested in Marinette, he is indifferent to her / ignorant of her crush / thinks of her as just a friend / does not realize she has feelings for him. It is so obvious to everyone except for him that she likes him, and he doesn't find her annoying in the slightest, meanwhile, Ladybug gets to think Chat Noir Is annoying all she wants. It's unbalanced.

So Felix was completely replaced.

OR SO I THOUGHT.

THE CREATORS ARE LIKE??? YEAH NO ACTUALLY FELIX STILL EXISTS AND HE MIGHT BE ADRIEN'S COUSIN OR BROTHER OR SOMETHING ???

that's not weird or confusing at all!! The hell?? Why is this even necessary? He's even more of a jerk in the canon series!

On top of that, the early versions of ML renders were superior.

Marinette initially had black hair for her 3D render but the show runners were like "no make it a weird blue" and we got this

On top of that, allegedly there's a cinematic movie in the works with a DOZEN leaks

Meanwhile there's another project the studio has been working on called "Pixie Girl" (which may or may not have been considered an ML spin off or gotten a crossover at some point) that was set to release in 2019, but three years later there's been no news.

Also I'm in love with this Witch boy and if they change his design I will die

Yeah so in conclusion the entire production of ML has been hell and it certainly doesn't help that the initial superior ideas and concept art are overwritten by bad writers

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous ladybug spoilers #pixie girl #text post #long post #ask #if it werent for hawkmoth there wouldnt even be a show #hes the only villain #and his miraculous isnt meant to be used for evi l #literally any kwami can be used for evil why is it only ever nooroo #Chat Noirs power can literally kill people like what is going on

Rena didn’t know what to do.

She really didn’t want to suspect any of the other miraculous heroes. She’d spent years of her life looking up to all of them and, while they were all definitely different than who they portrayed themselves to be, she hadn’t thought any of them to be ‘bad people’. They were just… people. They had their flaws, they just also happened to have miraculi.

But…

She remembered the way Master Fu had talked to her. Remembered why he had chosen her. She was there to find Hawkmoth. If he ever caught wind of the idea that she hadn’t investigated a possible traitor, she would be out. And she couldn’t be out.

And, she told herself, it wasn’t like Chat wasn’t at all suspicious.

His room had been left alone. He was definitely upper class like they were assuming Hawkmoth to be. He was also… too nice, somehow? Sure, everyone expects heroes to be good people, but there was something weird about how Chat seemed determined to never make anyone angry. Even when she and Chloe were outright accusing him of being a traitor, he’d defended himself without retaliation. She just didn’t understand.

Of course, there was also the persona thing. Ladybug and Carapace, the two heroes that had known Chat the longest, apparently had differing ideas about his personality. Ladybug had mentioned offhandedly that Chat was the only one of them who didn’t seem to have a persona. Carapace thought everyone had one. Which one was right?

She thought Ladybug would be the one to know because she’d known him for a few extra months, but Carapace was closer to him, so…

She squeezed her eyes shut.

For the first time since she’d gotten it, her miraculous felt heavy around her neck. Because it would be SO EASY to just say she had a family emergency and needed to go home for a few days and then spend the time watching to see what Chat would do. He wouldn’t have to know, and her curiosity would be sated.

...

She curled her fingers around the necklace and pulled it over her head.

She looked down at the foxtail pendant. It was so innocent-looking, could have been ripped straight out of a cartoon with the bright colors and shiny plastic if she were being honest. And the kwami linked with it was a tiny ball of fluff. She never would have thought that it could be so evil. She probably wouldn’t have even thought of it if she hadn’t been told ahead of time.

She looked at the old man in front of her in disbelief. Was he seriously going to try and convince her that THAT was a miraculous? She would have understood if she was a child, a younger her probably would have jumped at the opportunity, but she was EIGHTEEN. Just how stupid did he think she was?

She didn’t laugh, though she was tempted to. “Thank you, sir, but I don’t have any money on me so I can’t buy it.”

He’d sighed. “It is free.”

Somehow, she managed to trust him even less. “You don’t say.”

“I do.” He held the necklace out to her again, nearly forcing it into her hands.

She opted to ignore the weird rush of energy she’d gotten when it touched her. It was anxiety at being given a strange object in a dark alley, it was the placebo effect at work, it was confusion at why he was trying so hard to sell her on this. It was definitely NOT magic.

“Alya Cesaire --.”

She didn’t remember telling him her name. Her eyes flicked past him to the only exit.

“-- I am bestowing upon you the fox miraculous. Your patron god is Trixx, the god of deception.”

So she was either getting indoctrinated into a cult or murdered. Possibly both, in that order.

“I don’t know what you’re on, sir, but I don’t want any. So, take back your creepy necklace and step aside or I’m going to start crying and I don’t think you’ll be fast enough to outrun my akuma.”

The man sighed again. “Trixx, show yourself.”

There was a beat before two tiny, purple eyes appeared between them.

She yelped and backed up a few steps, nearly tripping over an abandoned soda can in her haste to get away from the weird floating eyes.

And then the area around the eyes rippled with light and suddenly there was a tiny… fox… thing where there had once been nothing.

The fox thing -- the old man had called it Trixx -- waved at her. She managed only a squeak in return.

The man regarded her for a moment before offering his cane as a kind of hand up. She opted to get to her feet on her own instead. She dusted herself off to avoid eye contact. The necklace wrapped loosely around her wrist jingled merrily with every slight motion of her arm.

When she thought she could do so without breaking down and possibly getting akumatized, she looked at the old man. “Explain. You have five minutes. Go.”

And, so, he did. He explained that he was a Guardian, that he was in charge of miraculi, that he selected all the heroes personally…

And then he explained her kwami.

She stared at him, open-mouthed for a long time as she struggled to find her voice. “I’m sorry? You’re telling me that you’ve had a kwami that could cast illusions this whole time and you just chose not to use it? This isn’t an anime, being overpowered is a GOOD thing.”

He sighed again. He did that a lot, she noted. Or, maybe, she was just very frustrating to him.

“Some kwamis are… more easily corrupted. The longer you hold onto one the more likely they are to corrupt you, but some… they can’t be held onto for long before you start having trouble figuring out what is you and what is them.”

She swallowed thickly and looked at the necklace in her hands. “Oh.”

“Yours is the easiest to corrupt.”

“Oh,” she repeated.

“Under the right circumstances, anyone can be corrupted. A high-stress situation at the wrong time… well, let’s just say the butterfly miraculous was supposed to be the hardest to corrupt.”

“Oh,” she said yet again, feeling a little lame.

He didn’t seem all that bothered, though. Instead, he took the necklace from her. She felt oddly cold without it.

“This is dangerous in the wrong hands. I hope I can trust that yours will remain clean.”

She closed her fingers around the pendant, blocking it from view. She knew it wouldn’t help, that she wouldn’t truly be herself again until she gave it up. He’d told her that she would have to do so if she ever expressed that she couldn’t handle it any longer.

But she couldn’t let it go. She’d felt it the moment it had touched her skin. It was HERS. She was meant for it.

She met Trixx’s luminous purple eyes and wondered, vaguely, what the kwami was thinking. Like all the others, Trixx never talked, but…

Trixx smiled and floated over, nuzzling against Rena’s face.

Her gaze fell back to the necklace in her hand and she slowly unclenched her fist. There were tiny marks where her nails and the rough edges of the necklace had dug into her skin.

She pulled it back on.

Having a traitor around could be dangerous. Dangerous for her, dangerous for the team, dangerous for Paris…

She could set her morals aside for just a little while if so much was riding on it.

~~~

Hahaha you thought the miraculous side effects would just be physical huh

But, more seriously, I always thought it was weird that the kwamis were so… good, y’know? They’re basically all powerful gods that have been around since the beginning of the world. And then they get enslaved by some jewelry? Why are they so relaxed about it? Why aren’t they bitter? Don’t they want to be free?

Anyways here’s a list of easiest to corrupt to hardest and why because it was a shorter chapter

Fox (literally the kwami of illusions/deception, it being a deceitful little shit was kinda mandatory)

Cat (... it’s a cat. try making a cat to do something. see how it goes)

Peacock (... again, it’s a peacock. have ya’ll seen zoos with peacocks just letting them roam around? idk they just feel free spirited and would hate being stuck in a brooch)

Ladybug (with the powers they have and the ability to create almost anything, I feel like it would be very tempting; creation is neutral, though and I feel like Tikki would be the same, so middle ground it is)  /  Bee (the holders that get it tend to be hard headed but also there can only be one queen bee per hive so I’m also putting it as the middle ground)

Turtle (more of a story than a philosophical reason, I just feel like Master Fu would give himself the second safest option and then keep the safest for if he ever needed to take on a partner; also the power is protection so it doesn’t really feel right to make that kwami evil)

Butterfly (since the powers seem to essentially enslave people, I feel like Nooroo wouldn’t want them to go into the wrong hands because he can relate)
