alright guys. i have more miraculous-ish content. 3rd pic is felix, marinette, kagami, and nathaniel from left to right. I haven't done a nino yet, but he'll be there when I post a finalized version I swear. Also, either Juleka or Rose, though I havent decided on which.

SO. bit of context before i yap under a cut. this is a co-op work (and potential series of fics) with @frickifiknow and so I only have half of the cast to design; hence no adrien, alya, or chloe in my lineup. they will be yapped about, and perhaps drawn by me, but maybe dont hold your breath. ALso, this is a rewrite, inspired more by the fandom than the actual show (though I am passively re-watching it currently, so we'll see) and will kindof sortof overhaul the entire premise. but that all goes under a cut, so i will see you all there.

alright SO. hi folks. miss me? Miss my rambles? no? your loss, because my yapping is immaculate.

Starting with the world!

There are 12 kwami in total- i love the Chinese zodiac for the show, but I personally don't want that many characters to be active. This will feature a main cast of my personal favorite characters from when I watched this show, and not much else because this is for personal pleasure, not objective quality. Each kwami has a pair, which corresponds to a unifying concept. These arent wholly ironed out yet, but they go: existence, defense, time, devotion, guidance, and experience. more about them and their kwamis to come.

this runs on a multiverse that the kwami of broken worlds can and do break. the idea is that after hawkmoth, the miraculous holders face the breaking of whatever has held the "antikwami" at bay this long, and have to gain higher power to defeat themselves and protect their world, thus allowing us to move on from gabriel agreste as a villain long before season five. The antikwami can only exist in this timeline separate from their counterparts because they are currently fulfilling a separate role; they would (and have) sort of merge into the kwami of this world if "redeemed". The kwami chose to be bound to the miraculous and to human holders in ancient times, as doing so managed to weaken their antitheses as they entered this timeline due to the natural balancing of, like, natural law. what is must be undone, or whatever. The antikwami tend to also pick "holders" of a sort, but it's... a worse process, overall. They cloud one's judgement, enhance all their worst traits, the works. more to come on them, i haven't ironed out all the cracks just yet.

All of my designs hinge on being relatively young versions of the characters, as you tend to get more power as you get older, and as you gain experience with the miraculous. Early on, any animal parts will be stuck onto clothing, with ear and horn details coming from masks and tails being attached to belts and capes. later, more high-powered designs will look grander and feature more naturalistic inclusions from the animal (including functional wings for ladybug, possibly) as the holders grow closer to their kwami.

It's 2am, I have school in the morning, and I gotta go. Thanks for reading, or not, reblogs > likes, like and subscribe or something, gn

Was thinking about what talents the ML cast would have if they were in Danganronpa, and...

Marinette: Honestly? Could be some. Ultimate designer is the most oblivious since she wants to be a designer, and had her designs picked up by Gabriel and Audrey. Could also work as ultimate lucky student, since her miraculous is the lucky one and all. And lastly, Ultimate jack of all trades, cuz girl do so much shit: Designer, Class president, baker, stalker, etc

Adrien: Ultimate model is very obvious. But maybe also ultimate heir or linguist? Could also work as a Jack, but I'd pick model.

Nino: Ultimate DJ, no doubt. No contest really.

Alya: Ultimate repórter or ultimate fórum mod, cuz of the ladyblog. I'd pick the second one just to mess with her lmao

Chloe: Not ironically, Ultimate hero, since hers was the first identity to go public. But before that... Hard to say. Ultimate fashionista? Since she's not into design, but it's in fashion. Dunno.

I will continue it on another ask

Inch resting!

Re; Chloé's: I think that one would depend on if you're doing a full AU, or if it's the characters as-is from Canon(or Canon-adjacent) being tossed into the Situation™.

oh that Au I have a lot of sketch of that. last year I posted on instagram a little of that au: Instagram post

Basically this, I made a design for Gabriel, Nathalie, Ivan, Mylene, Alya, Nino, Chloe, Sabrina, Master fu and hawk moth too and i try to made a comic. but many people correct the names that I put to the characters in the au so I abandon it.

Now the wips that I never continue until now.

part of that because the rest are on patreon.

Also I am re design it again. this is the old gabrielle/hawk moth design.

ah and a comparison of my Mariet (Marinette) gb with the idea of "as it should be, of many complaining people"

Thanks for coming to my TED talk @lad-bug-and-chad-noir

I'm going to post all my au's in this tumblr.

Finally playing Idol Land and being able to buy/collect all these coords again has finally made me want to do something I haven't wanted to do in a long, long time. And that something is...

At long last, reopen up my old PriPara binders, the ones which have been gathering dust in a corner for three years, and take a trip down memory lane. To look at all of all my old favorite coords, and remember all the struggles I've had collecting them.

And now, I feel like I need to explain a thing. For all the people joining promises with me and judging how much money I'm spending haha ha...

I said in a previous post that once I bought Yui/Nino's Yume Rares I'd be basically all set with all the coords I really really wanted to buy (except for Shion's SCR). But honestly, I was afraid that after looking through my binders that feeling might change. But actually it did not. There were a few coords I'd forgotten about which I'm hoping get re-released, but actually I'm honestly shocked at how many of my favorite coords have been released already such as the Paint Bat coord and the Marching coords, Aroma's initial PR, Hibiki's coords, etc.

But anyway.

I also found all my old tickets for all the coords I bought today and yesterday.

Remember, on the arcade game you could not directly buy coords. It was GATCHA. ONLY.

First up is Nino's team Yume Rare.

This one actually wasn't that bad.

I got the shoes on January 6th 2018, the accessory on January 18th, and the onepiece on January 26th. All with Luna.

(This is with spending at least one day a week most weeks like all day at the arcade tho.......)

Now let's look at Nino's initial Yume Rare.

First, I actually got the onepiece on August 16th, 2017. Then I got the shoes on August 25th.

I then got the accessory... on OCTOBER 3rd.

And it wasn't even while I was playing Luna! That's a Hinode ticket ahaha.

And as for Yui's initial Yume Rare. Umm...

I NEVER GOT IT.

It looks like Hinode got the accessory on June 25th 2017 but the other tickets are from randos. I bought it online way after the gatcha ended.

I definitely remember the struggle with this coord. I remember thinking the design was a total mess and convincing myself I didn't want it. It's not Luna's style.

But the more I stared at it. The more I just... noticed how complex it was, and all the little details here and there and I just... I dunno!

(Spongebob voice: I don't need it... I don't need it....)

I nnEEeeeeEED iiIIIT

And finally after months, MONTHS of pining, at some point I finally caved and bought it online through nefarious (unofficial) means. Because the arcade game wouldn't take my money to give it to me. (Okay no, no, it DID take my money but--)

Flash forward to today. Here's my character wearing the full coord on Idol Land.

Here it is, I bought it, done.

It is far more anticlimactic this way. But then again, would I have wanted to gatcha for it again? No no no no nooo.

I really do love this coord so much and I'm so happy to see the new version of my character in it. It looks even better on her now.

#so if you're wondering why i would spend so much money on this game #i hope this is an adequate answer #i mean #i do definitely still have a problem #but #anyway unrelated but #having this mix of cool and lovely is another reason i feel a kinship with amari ahh #idol land pripara

More Actor AU commentary?

*Juleka, Luka, Myléne, and Alix are having their hair re-dyed*

Juleka: The stylists have a closet exclusively for our hair dye. I’ve never felt so honored.

Luka: *Squeals* We each got our own shelves!

Alix: Yeah, it’s great, but then the fumes really start to kick in, ya’know?

Myléne: I told you guys to go with the eco-friendly stuff, now I’m sitting here not breathing in toxic fumes.

—

Mireille: Come here, we’re gonna show you the Akuma closet.

*Marinette the door to a massive walk-in closet of Akuma costumes*

Marinette: This is where most of the magic actually happens. The artists like to have their space and this is the quietest room to work on designs. Hey, CeCe.

CeCe: *Drawing under a table* Silence!

Mireille: Yes, ma’am. Anyway, the costumes here are all stored here when they’re no longer in use until later episodes when an Akuma returns, or for the design team to come in and make alterations. Like… Oh! Here’s Reverser’s original suit. *Pulls out a black and white Two-Face inspired suit*

Marinette: See, it’s good, but it can always be better. Now, the creators are letting Marc wear it to the red carpet event.

—

Kim: *Doing his makeup* See, unlike most of my co-stars, I do my own makeup for each scene. I’m cool like that.

Marc: *Doing a Smokey eye* We’re cool like that.

—

Reshma: Naturally, we all hate Marc and Kim because they don’t spend three hours in makeup every morning.

Denise: I’d kill for those fine-ass eyes.

—

Nino: To properly look like your typical high school students, we stay up for hours each night to create eye bags instead of using makeup

Marinette: You think students wake up without eye bags? Fuck y’all.

—

Nathaniel: It took all sorts of candy and video games to keep the kids of the original show preoccupied so they don’t tackle me during takes.

Alya: *Laughing* We don’t know why, but kids just love Nath! Ella and Etta are obsessed with him.

Nino: Chris can’t stay off of him. Same for Manon. Whenever they see Nath, they’re clinging to his legs.

Marc: Kiran absolutely ADORES Nath! Sometimes Nath let’s him draw on his arm.

Nathaniel: You won’t believe how thrilled they were when they heard they’d be getting to interact with me more. They’re especially jealous of Manon since she got to do a scene with me first.

—

Aurore: *Opens the door to her dressing room to reveal a wall of parasols* As you can see, I take my character’s love of parasols very serious. You have your holiday-themed parasols, parasols with pointed tip when I need to strike a bitch, and a special one I don’t open. I just walk around with it like a fancy cane.

—

Chloé: Zoé and I are just thrilled to be best friends on the show! Looking at the original script, I’m just like, “God, this dialogue sucks.”

Zoé: Don’t get us wrong, there’s gonna be some ups and downs in my first scene, but we bond over a mutual matred of our mother.

Chloé: Such a wonderful bond!

—

Kim: Behold! The Wig Room! *Opens the door to a room full of wigs* This is where we keep the wigs for Akumas and heroes! Oh! There’s Ikati Black’s! You won’t believe how long it takes the stylists to braid Max’s hair back.

Max: That’s their workout. Because of me, they have amazing biceps.

—

Alya: When filming Lady WiFi, there were like a shit-ton of green screens just everywhere. I’m fact, the characters were forbidden from wearing green during the takes where we had the screens up!

Max: My signature color! Gone!

Tomassian: Uh, how do you I felt? They had to edit in the colors after the shots. I felt so dirty!

—

Sabrina: While everyone else gets some kick ass costume… Mine is literally a green bodysuit. It’s like the one they used for Hagakure in My Hero Academia. And when I’m visible, I look like fucking Silver Surfer! *laughs*

—

Corsette: *Recording on their phone* Observe the blonde gremlins in their natural environment. *Points their phone towards the blonde in the dance studio*

Austin A: And… *Swaying his hips* Sashay. Sashay. *Notices the others aren’t following him* I said SASHAY!

Adrien: What is this even for?

Austin A: Because I felt like forming a blonde dance crew.

Chloé: Dude! Lead with that!

Rose: And you’re working those hips wrong! Watch and learn, Armbruster!

—

Nino/Lila: *Getting their makeup done* Scar Twins, bitches!

—

Ivan: Fun fact, Stoneheart was actually me in a green body suit and everything I threw was made of Styrofoam. Super easy to lift.

Myléne: It was a pretty complicated scene when Stoneheart kidnapped Chloé and I. There were different wires, a mechanical arm, all that jazz.

Chloé: But the thing that wasn’t fake was me getting thrown! It was fucking awesome!

Ivan: Uh! Let’s not forget to add that there was an abundance of airbags below you.

Chloé: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I had so much fun, I actually went skydiving after the shoot.

—

Denise: So, I’m the cast’s unquestioned fitness guru, meaning I help to keep ‘em in shape. Each character has certain muscles the fandom likes to obsess over. Take Nath’s legs for example.

Nathaniel: *Incoherrent yelling as he crushes a watermelon between his thighs* DIE, YOU WATERMELON! *The watermelon gets crushed* YEAH! GIMME A PUMPKIN NEXT!

Denise: Fans are also pretty obsessed with Marinette’s biceps.

Marinette: *Deadlifting a couch* No one! Stop me!

Denise: And Ismael and Nino like to work out to build muscle and look a bit more masculine.

Nino: *Spotting Ismael* Who’s the manliest man?!

Ismael: I am!

Nino: Who’s gonna punch the transphobes?!

Ismael: I AM!

Denise: We have fun. But remember, it’s important to feel comfortable in your own body.

—

Cosette: I’m sure you can tell that Jean’s excited for the upcoming musical numbers.

Jean: *Running around the studio screaming*

Cosette: *Chuckles* I can tell ya, he’s gonna sleep well tonight… Did I mention I’m getting a girlfriend?

—

Lacey: I’m pretty stoked I’m gonna have a big role in Riposte. In the original show, you see me as one of the students trying out for the team, but of course… No lines.

Nathaniel: Well, I’m nervous as hell. I’ve only been practicing fencing for a short time, but I’m still nowhere good.

Kagami: This is why we practice on weekends, Nath. And you’re getting better, so stop putting yourself down.

Nathaniel: Never!

—

XY: *Spooning with Luka and Adrien* We’re rehearsing.

Rose: But this scene isn’t for like another… Thirty episodes-

Adrien: Hush, demon! This is a private rehearsal! *Kisses XY’s neck while Luka nuzzles against his back*

—

Simon: *Having his makeup done while he sits in Denise’s lap* Here’s a fun little tidbit for you guys. A lot of my Gaeilge is unscripted. Yeah, when I have my little angry moments, I can’t help but curse in my native tongue.

Denise: The only thing I understand is ‘shite.’

Simon: And I don’t understand a lick of Spanish. We’re perfect for each other!

—

Reshma: The design team will be incorporating my character’s interest in magical girl anime and anime in general into my clothing, so Sailor Moon jewelry, My Hero Academia bags, Princess TuTu hair accessories, and my true favorite, a Revolutionary Girl Utena jacket!

Ismael: *While Reshma happy flaps* While she’s excited about that, I’m excited about getting some new cardigans. I mean, who doesn’t love a cardigan?

—

Cosette: *Live streaming Nino and Myléne meditating* They’ve been like this for two hours now. Tell me, guys. Should I call for help?

Nino: … *Snores*

Cosette: Oh, thank God!

—

Marc: I’ve gotta say, it’s nice not having to pretend to be shorter than I actually am. It was messing up my back, I… I don’t know why they didn’t just give other characters platform shoes.

Denise: But on a lighter note, Marc keeps bumping into a bunch of stuff! *Cackles* It’s hilarious!

Marc: I’m so used to slouching! *Storms out of the room and bumps into the doorframe* Damnit! Stupid low doorframe! Who needs a door that small?!

Denise: If you’re wondering, Marc and I are both 206.5 centimeters and the doorways here are like 200 centimeters.

—

Ismael: And we’re back to another screening of “Tall People Problems!”

Cosette: Watch Reshma struggle to sit in that chair. *Points her phone toward Reshma with her legs at an awkward position while she’s sitting*

Reshma: … Ugh! *Tucks in her legs* … Forget it. *Sits on the floor*

Ismael: Tragic, isn’t it? Now let’s see how Denise is faring.

Cosette: *Points phone over to Denise, right as they bump into an exit sign*

Denise: ¡Mierda!

Cosette: *Snickers* And now, our favorite subject. Marc Anciel. A young man who just won’t admit he’s taller than a standard doorframe. *Points phone to Marc*

Marc: *Walking off set and comes across the door* … Not this time. *Ducks under the doorframe* HA! I did it- OW! Why is there another door?!

i will admit i didn't know about the turtle nino thing. like i know there's been debates regarding zag stealing fan content for years now (even saw someone claim that the only reason senti-adrien became canon is bc fans were theorizing about it) but the closest i've seen to it happening is that one ladybug doll that was never release but that ripped off someone else's ladybug re-design

I hope that doll designer got fired lol

A Review of Détermination

The episode romance-centred, obviously. And Luka and Kagami are finally re-appearing, as allies. It’s funny how Marinette is looking up at Chat Noir being all suave and cool while Adrien is peering down at Marinette making a fool of herself. Visual storytelling.

Marinette rides the moped to school. To send Kagami to fencing class at least. And her hair is down.

Whoa.

"You’re going to ask Marinette out." "Why?" "You obviously have feelings for her." Kagami’s bluntness is so refreshing. Save the plot a lot of time.

Kitty Section is making an interesting decision trusting Bob Roth again

Luka is so supportive.

So Adrien knows his feelings has changed, but he isn’t immediately jumping onto the 'I’m in love' boat. It’s quite considerate and wise to want to figure things out instead of immediately pushing the romantic angle. Because on the off-chance that Adrien isn’t romantically infatuated, he could’ve strung Marinette along and ended up badly hurting her.

Kagami has an Alliance watch.

"Remember when you mistook me for a statue, Marinette?" What an embarrassing memory to bring up.

Did Kagami and Luka strike up a friendship behind-the-scenes? Because the smooth way they walked off together and started a conversation without small talk speaks of a very easy relationship.

Luka makes an astute observation. As someone who’s always used to being adored and adoring in return, Adrien can’t decipher the truth of his feelings. Are they truly out-of-the-ordinary, or just enhanced for one particular person?

Chloé wants Mayor Bourgeois to take down the heroes and villain exhibit hall because she’s offended by the implications.

Pulling an Alya and Nino in New York. Just lock them in, why don't you?

Superhero-themed villains has been quite popular this season. That and ordinary citizens wanting to be heroes, like Socqueline dressing up as ladybug and Nino erecting a resistance. I’m starting to spy a motif.

I just realised Manipula is the first original Akumatised victim in this season, and she looks really good as well. That appearance could pass a camp on a gala red carpet.

Very Sailor Moon-esque, this scenario.

When did Alix get a statue??

The whole gang’s here.

Those are still wax statue, they don’t have the power of the Miraculous, do they?

The humour of Chloé sitting in André’s seat while he’s consulting her like she’s the mayor. Chloé is in unbreakable charge of everything in his life.

So the wax statues can use Miraculous powers? The power scale is broken.

I made a post sometime ago about how Tigresse Pourpre and Pigella are parallels of Ladybug and Chat Noir. Tigresse Pourpre: also a cat, dark-coloured, armed with a power of incredible destructive force. Pigella: pink-themed, dance-themed, armed with the power to create something. So the two of them being destroyed by their Ladybug and Chat Noir is like watching nature takes its course.

Kagami’s fringe is dishevelled?

I don’t think I’ve ever see her without hair covering her forehead.

She looks good. She should have a formal appearance, or alternate casual appearance, with her fringe brushed away.

"You’re in great shape these days, kitty-cat." "We can’t afford to make anymore mistakes."

Oh, how the turntables.

Ladybug is beginning to have inklings of feelings for Chat Noir.

Faux-Ladybug’s giant sword isn’t purely red-and-black-spots anymore. There’s a silver blade edge. Good design call, it looks much more deadly. The black on the tip of the quills (?) resemble poisonous daggers.

I’m surprised that these signposts in the back actually has readable words on them.

Ooh, I finally get her outfit. I thought she was an ice-cream cone – she’s supposed to be a candelabra. You know, wax figurine.

You know Chat Noir’s not going to be here to stop you from spiralling into despair at every other comment, right?

Neither the Bee Miraculous’ Venin or the Ox Miraculous’ Résistance should be stronger than Chat Noir’s Cataclysm. That's not how the power balance should work.

Nice to see that Chat Noir is actually fighting back for once, instead of letting whatever happens to him happen.

She’s dead.

Ladybug actually managed to communicate her feelings to Chat Noir pretty well. Pity that he misinterpreted.

"Yes. I think I’m in love." Whoa, finally.

The clownery never ends. Finally when mutuality is established, it’s in the wrong direction.

This is a very clean and beautiful scene. The brightness of the Musée Grevin poster, the grey skies and the rain. The animation of Marinette’s tears and the vividness of her emotions.

This episode basically establishes that the emotions are going in the opposite direction now. At this point, it seems that Adrien and Marinette will keep chasing each other in a circle, 'round and 'round.

I'm loving the latest (re-)redesigns! They express so much of the characters personality. It makes me wonder if we ever see them with their miraculous in camouflage form. Especially im kwamibuster the canon really showed the potential of uniqueness the miraculous can bring to a character design (than they ruined it with monarch...) I'd love to see the touch of personality the miraculous would get with each holder.

Thank you! I'm the worst when it comes to decisions, so everyone's probably gonna get modified at least once! I just can't help myself.

I actually hadn't considered that! I really like that the camouflage form changes to suit the holder, making them all individualized. I guess I just forgot about it because of how temp heroes are handled in canon. You only ever see them activated so you forget what they could look like.

That being said, because characters like Nino, Alya and Zoe are permanent holders in my version, it would make a lot of sense for me to show how their Miraculous change to suit them! I love the bee Miraculous's camouflage mode when Zoe wears it, the colours are so excellent. It's just a shame we pretty much never see it. Think of all the merch and blind box potential, gloob!

I do plan on drawing more than just my fullbody references, so when I finally get around to drawing character interactions and stuff, I'll be sure to include their camouflaged miraculous!

Felinette Bloopers

[re-writes of famous movie and comedy scenes]

WARNING: sexual humor, aged-up characters, nothing explicit though

1. Felinette x Friends

[Marinette and Alya’s apartment. Adrien and Nino are making the fire on the balcony, Chloe and Alya are inside. Felix enters, carrying luggage]

Chloe: Hey!

Alya: Hey!

Felix: Hey. [Alya sees his bags]

Alya: How long did you think this barbecue was gonna last?

Felix: I’m going to China.

Alya: Jeez, you say one thing, and...

Chloe: You’re going to China? Is it for our Chinese branch?

Felix: Yeah. Someone sews fakes of our clothes and illegally sells them. Locals can’t track who leaked Marinette’s designs, so they need the help of a professional…

Alya: Someone who could do this himself if he wasn’t a partner, and therefore knows where to look?

Felix: [skeptically] Haha. Very funny.

Felix: Is Marinette here? Um, I wanted to wish her a happy birthday before I left.

Chloe: Oh no, she’s out having drinks with Carl.

Felix: Oh. [pause] Hey, who’s Carl?

Chloe: You know, that guy she met at the fashion show.

Felix: No.

Alya: Oh, well, see, there’s this guy she met at the...

Felix: At the fashion show, right.

Alya: So you do know who he is! [laughs, Felix stares at her] Sorry.

Felix: OK, I’m gonna go say goodbye to the guys.

Alya: Oh, hey, y’know what? Tell them that designs story!

[Felix goes outside on the balcony]

Felix: Hi.

Nino: Hey!

Adrien: Hey!

Felix: [sigh] ...I have to go to China.

Nino: The country?

Felix: No no, this big pile of dishes in my mom’s breakfront. Do you guys know who Carl is?

Adrien: Uh, let’s see... Alvin... Simon... Theodore... no.

Felix: Well, Marinette’s having drinks with him tonight.

Nino: Oh no! How can she do that when she’s never shown any interest in you?!?

Adrien: Forget about her, Fe.

Nino: He’s right, man. Please. Move on. Go to China. Eat Chinese food!

Adrien: Course there they just call it food.

Felix: Yeah... I guess. I don’t – I don’t know. Alright, just... just give her this for me, OK? [gives Adrien gift for Marinette]

Adrien: Listen, buddy, we’re just looking out for you.

Felix: I know.

Adrien: We want you to be happy. And I may only have a couple beers in me, but... I love you, man. [Adrien gives Felix a hug]

Nino: I’m still on my first. So I just think you’re not that bad.

[Time lapse. Adrien, Alya, Chloe, Nino and Marinette are sitting in the room]

Alya: [gets up] OK, how does everybody like their burgers?

Marinette: Oh, no, no, no. Presents first. Food later.

Marinette sees her first gift with Gabriel’s logo.

Marinette: OK, I’m guessing this is from...

Adrien smiles.

Marinette: Well, thank you, Adrien.

Chloe: [pointing out a gift] OK, this one right here is from me.

Marinette: [picks it up] OK... ah, it isn’t light... [shakes it] ...it’s... [opens it] Vibrator! Oooohhh, thank you! [gives it back to Chloe]

Chloe: Hey! It’s a good gift, Dupain-Cheng! With how much you work, who knows for how long you’ll still be single!

Marinette: [makes a grimass in response] I said I didn’t need anyone! [takes another gift] This one’s from Nino... feels like a CD. And… [opens it] ...it’s a CD!

Alya: Oh, it’s Nursery Rhymes!

Nino: [to Mari]: That thing got me through some tough times.

Alya: There is a little child inside this man!

Adrien: Yes, the doctors say if they remove him, he’ll die.

[Marinette picks up the next gift]

Marinette: Who’s this from?

Adrien: Oh, that’s Felix’s.

Marinette: Oh... [opens it]... [sees it is a brooch] Oh my God. He remembered.

Alya: Remembered what?

Marinette: It was like months ago. We were walking by this antique store, and I saw this brooch in the window, and I told him it was just like one my grandmother had when I was a little girl. Oh! I can’t believe he remembered!

Chloe: Well, sure, but can it relieve your sexual tension? [pats the box with a vibrator]

Alya: Oh, it’s so pretty! This must have cost him a fortune.

Adrien: I can’t believe he did this.

Chloe: Oh, Come on! Fe? Remember back in college, when he fell in love with Bri and bought her that ridiculously expensive crystal duck?

[Everyone looks at her. She realizes she just spilled the beans about Felix’s crush on Marinette]

Marinette: What did you just say?

Chloe: [panicking] Ahem... um... Crystal duck…

Marinette: No, no, no.... the, um, the... ‘love’ part?

Chloe: [stuttering incoherently] F-hah.... flennin....

Marinette: Oh.... my God.

Chloe: [rubbing her temples] Oh, no-no-no-no-no....

Adrien: [pats her on the shoulder] That’s good, just keep rubbing your head. That’ll turn back time.

Marinette: I mean, this is unbelievable.

Alya: I know. This is really, really huge.

Chloe: No it’s not. It’s small. It’s tiny. It’s petite. It’s wee.

Alya: Nuh-uh. I don’t think any of our lives are ever gonna be the same ever again.

Chloe: OK, is there a mute button on this woman?

Adrien: I think this is so great! I mean, you and Felix! Did you have any idea?

Marinette: No! None! I mean, his first night in Paris, he mentioned something about asking me out. But we’ve been running a common company with him and Chlo for more than a year now, and nothing ever happened, so I just... [to Adrien]: W-well, what else did he say? I mean, does he, like, want to go out with me?

Adrien: Well, given that he’s desperately in love with you, he probably wouldn’t mind getting a cup of coffee or something.

Marinette: Felix? All this time? Well, I’ve got to talk to him. [gets up to leave]

Chloe: [quickly] H-He’s in China!

Nino: The country.

Adrien: No, no, wait. [checks Felix’s’s itinerary] His flight doesn’t leave for another forty-five more minutes.

Chloe: What about the time difference?

Adrien: From here to the airport?

Chloe: Yes! [Marinette walks towards door] You’re never gonna make it!

Adrien: Mari, what’re you gonna say to him?

Marinette: I-I-I don’t know.

Chloe: Well then maybe you shouldn’t go!

Nino: She’s right, cause if you’re just gonna, like, break his heart, that’s the kind of thing that can wait.

Adrien: Yeah, but if it’s good news, you should tell him now.

Marinette: I don’t know. Maybe I’ll know when I see him.

Alya: Here, look, alright, does this help?

[Alya gets up, holds the phone with Felix’s picture up to her face]

Marinette: Noooo... look, all I know is that I cannot wait a week until I see him. I mean, this is just too big. Y’know, I just, I’ve just gotta talk to him. I... I gotta... OK, I’ll see you later. [opens door]

Chloe: Dupain-Cheng, I love you! Deal with me first!

Free to Be You and Me: chapter 17

Chapter 16 | Chapter 18

Disclaimer: I don’t own ML.

Look, I just re-used my Alya suit design from chapter 19 of ‘Hold Me By Both Hands’ with a few tweaks to suit the context of this story. Sue(it) me.

“So,” Alya says as she and Marinette push through the multitudes of people pouring out of the school gates, “when are you gonna tell him?”

“Huh?” Marinette says. “Tell who? What?”

Alya rolls her eyes. “Chat. About me. Duh.”

“What?” Marinette’s head whips around. Thankfully, everyone around them is too focused on their own lives and dramas, so no one seems to be listening or even able to hear their conversation. Though she wouldn’t put it past Lila to pop up out of nowhere. “Why would I –?”

“Marinette.” Alya facepalms. They happen to be crossing the road at this point, so it’s up to Marinette to guide her exasperated best friend across safely while Alya’s face is covered. “Don’t tell me you’re not going to tell Chat Noir that I’m a perm now.”

“Of course not! The fewer people who know, the better!” Marinette waves her hands around in a desperate attempt to make Alya understand. “Chat knows about you and then he takes another hit for me and gets brainwashed and spills to Shadowmoth that you’re a permanent hero and Shadowmoth will know there’s something special about you and target you and our identities will be revealed and I’ll lose Chat and –”

“Whoa. Whoa. Okay.” Alya suddenly stops, which almost makes Marinette trip over her own feet in surprise until Alya grasps her by the shoulders. “First of all, you really need a therapist.”

“Therapist? Pfft,” Marinette scoffs. Her eye twitches. “I’ve got tiny gods living in my room! I’m fine!”

Alya raises an eyebrow and resumes walking, pulling Marinette with her. “Right. Okay, let’s just skip over that and go back to the beginning. Why would Shadowmoth know about me?”

“Because I’d be telling Chat that you’re permanent –”

“Yeah. You’re telling him that there’s a new Fox hero who’s not a temp. Why on earth would he think it’s me?”

“Because…” Marinette’s shoulders slump. “I was under the impression that I’d be telling him everything. To keep him in the loop. So he didn’t end up akumatised like Nino. And if he knew Rena was permanent and then Shadowmoth found out…”

They make it to the bakery by then, so Marinette’s conversation with Alya is put on hold while they say their hellos to her parents on their way up to her room. Once the trapdoor is shut and the kwamis are flying around, with Trixx ducking out of Alya’s bag to join them, Marinette sighs and sinks down onto her chaise.

“Okay, back on-topic,” Alya says, sitting down next to her. “Why would you tell Chat that Rena’s the new perm hero? He only knows, like, a few of the other heroes and he’s cool with that. He doesn’t need to know anything apart from Rena being retired, especially since he doesn’t even know my identity.”

“But…I thought after the other day, with Nino…”

Alya laughs. “Marinette, there’s a difference between keeping someone in the loop while not telling them everything, and just outright keeping them in the dark. That’s what I learned after we saved Nino. I haven’t told him everything about –” She gestures to the two of them. “– this, you know, just like how you told Chat that someone knows your identity without actually telling him who I am.”

“Oh.” Well, now Marinette feels silly. “I just…want to protect him. The less I tell him, the less useful he is to Shadowmoth.”

“Until he gets so upset about being kept in the dark while you’re running off with me that he’s vulnerable to Shadowmoth’s influence. You know, like a certain person did when she knew her best friend was keeping secrets but wouldn’t share anything.”

Marinette’s blood freezes in her veins. Icy blue eyes flash before her – white, cold, broken, devastation – and she forces herself to take a deep breath and dig her nails into her forearms to ground herself.

“Oh,” she whispers. When she peeks up at Alya, her best friend’s face is soft and understanding.

“I’m sorry.” Alya holds out an arm and waits for Marinette to nod before pulling her into a hug. “I didn’t mean to –”

“No, you didn’t,” Marinette interrupts. “You didn’t mention anything about that. That’s…just where my mind keeps going.”

“Still, I should’ve realised.”

“Alya, if you try and nail every single thing that gets to me, even Mullo wouldn’t be able to help you.”

Alya snorts. “You are so messed-up, girl. When this is all over, you’re getting your boyfriend to pay for the best therapist around.”

“I’m not gold-digging for therapy!” Marinette splutters, her cheeks flaming at the reminder that yes, Adrien is her boyfriend. Adrien Agreste is her boyfriend. No one knows how hard it is to sit behind him every day, knowing that she’s the girl he’s in love with when he has no clue, and she can’t just go up and kiss his brains out! Alya just laughs long and loud.

“I love you, Marinette, I swear,” she chokes out, wiping her eyes. “The things you say.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Marinette grumbles, crossing her arms. “So, when do you want to tell him? Tonight?”

It takes another minute for the traitorous Alya to get herself under control. “Y-Yeah,” she finally manages to wheeze. “You have patrol tonight, right?”

“Yep. That’s why I figured tonight would be best. No time like the present, right?” Marinette pastes on a cheerful grin. Alya just rolls her eyes.

“You’re killing me,” she says and starts to rummage around in her bag. “Let’s just get as much homework as we can done before your patrol. It’s not like you’re far enough behind already.”

“Ouch,” Marinette says. “Rude.”

“But true.”

“Whatever. I’m taking Trixx back.”

“Like hell.”

Marinette had expected the time before patrol to creep by at a snail’s pace while she had a mini freakout an hour at the thought of telling Chat Noir that they’re no longer the only two permanent heroes around. But the prospect of getting relatively on top of her work for once is too tempting to pass up. If anything, it’s too soon before Marinette’s phone chimes to remind her of patrol.

“Time to face the music,” she sighs, pushing her book away.

“Oh, please,” Alya says. “He’ll love me. Trixx, let’s pounce!”

Marinette still can’t get over the fact that suits can change with personality. Rena Rouge’s had been light and airy and a typical tight superhero suit, just like Alya’s heroes before her. But Foxglove’s suit has volume. The only tight part of it is her black-collared white and orange torso. Now she has an actual jacket open over her chest, baggy and cropped and orange. Her legs are still orange with white inner thighs, but they actually tuck into her knee-high black boots like pants. Her fox tail is a wide strip of orange and white around her waist that falls behind her, and Marinette’s brain is already thinking of all the things she could do with that fabric in the middle of a battle, just like how she uses Chat Noir’s tail. Her ponytail, no longer big and bushy, now falls behind her in dozens of box braids. In fact, the only parts of Rena Rouge that she retains are her ears and mask.

Marinette’s glad about that part. She’s already feeling rotten enough as it is about pulling Alya into the pit with her; at least Alya’s not a completely different person because of it. At least Rena Rouge is still a part of her and always will be.

“Damn.” Foxglove brushes invisible dust off her suit, visibly preening. “I look so cool. I’ll miss my Rena suit but…damn.”

“Look,” Marinette says. “If you and I didn’t have boyfriends and if Chat didn’t exist, I’d be all over you. I think I was infatuated with you for the entire first week we were friends.”

“If Chat didn’t exist?” Foxglove says, arching an eyebrow. Marinette’s brain record-scratches and rewinds to what she’d just said.

“Well! Yeah! Because he’s in love with me and I’d hate to let him down and hurt him!” she splutters. “Even though I’m not in love with the best partner I could have! I love Adrien!”

Foxglove raises her hands in front of her face like she’s praying. “Okay,” she says. “Okay. Let’s just focus on the compliment. Thank you for reaffirming how hot I am, because I’ve had the biggest thing for Ladybug since forever and now I can tell myself that Ladybug thinks I’m gorgeous.”

Marinette groans and hangs her head. “You’re welcome,” she says pitifully.

“But I’m still getting you therapy after –”

“Tikki, spots on!”

Not even the cool night air can soothe the burning in Ladybug’s cheeks as she and Foxglove bound towards their rooftop rendezvous. Foxglove, bless her, doesn’t bring up her slip-up again, instead whooping as she takes a massive leap and handstands off a chimney. By the time they make it to the right street, where Chat Noir’s swinging his dangling legs and humming up at the clouded full moon, Ladybug’s cheeks are thankfully back to their normal temperature, and she doesn’t feel like she’s about to die of heatstroke anymore.

“Milady!” Chat Noir’s whole body perks up when Ladybug lands next to him. She instantly sits down, so close that their arms are practically glued side-to-side, and Chat Noir’s wide smile is just everything right with the world. But then that grin fades when Foxglove appears next to Ladybug. “Look out! It’s another Volpina!”

“See?” Foxglove crosses her arms. “What did I say? Right as usual.”

“Oh, shut up,” Ladybug scoffs. Foxglove sticks her tongue out.

“Ladybug? What’s going on?” Chat Noir no longer looks like he’s about to claw Foxglove’s eyes out. “Why’s there someone with the Fox who isn’t Rena?”

Ladybug and Foxglove share a look. Then Ladybug sighs and goes over her mental palm cards one more time before she explains the situation to Chat Noir.

“This is Sentinelle,” she says. “Foxglove, now.”

“Almost went with Vulpine,” Foxglove chimes in. “Just to annoy the hell out of Lila.”

Ladybug rolls her eyes at Foxglove, then looks back at Chat Noir. “I just…after Clueseau threatened you, I thought we could use someone to help us out. To have our backs. Especially since Shadowmoth’s hammering us with two Miraculouses at once.”

“So…what, Rena Rouge isn’t a thing anymore?” Chat Noir’s brow furrows.

“No. If I was drawing on someone for this kind of support, I didn’t want their identity to be known by Shadowmoth. This way, Rena’s family is safe and so is a new hero’s identity.”

“This kind of support?” Chat Noir’s eyes widen. He looks from Ladybug to Foxglove, then back at Ladybug. “She’s keeping her Miraculous?”

“Well…yes.” Ladybug holds her breath, waiting for Chat Noir to explode on her, to get angry at her making this decision unilaterally, maybe even to rage at her for lying about Rena Rouge’s identity even though he can’t possibly know that Rena Rouge and Foxglove are the same person. Instead, for a fraction of a second, he looks like a lost cat that Ladybug might walk past on the street, and then his features smooth into his trademark smirk.

“Well, then,” he says, taking Foxglove’s hand and kissing the back of it. “I’ll miss Rena, but if bugaboo thinks this is the best move, then I’m cool with it. Welcome to the best team in Paris.”

“You’re…not mad?” Ladybug says, sounding about as lost as Chat Noir had looked in that split second.

“Why would I be?” Chat Noir stretches, looking more like a cat than ever as his spine lengthens. “You’re the Guardian. You think this is the right thing. I’ll follow along with whatever you say.”

Ladybug’s stomach twists. No, she hadn’t been expecting it to go this way at all! Where’s the anger? The hurt at not being consulted; at their duo being stretched to a trio? A sick stone of realisation suddenly settles inside her as her mind flashes back, unbidden, to a time that seems so long ago.

“So, what's my role, then? The guy who's always left in the dark? What else are you hiding from me?”

Before Syren had attacked. Before Chat Noir had been allowed to even know of the existence of Master Fu.

“You’re not really replacing me with a turtle, are you?”

He can’t possibly think he’s just another teammate, can he? What about all the times it’s just been them? Ladybug and Chat Noir against the world? Heroes’ Day. Miracle Queen. The time Hawkmoth had held Chat Noir hostage on that rooftop, only letting him go in exchange for Mayura. So close to taking her kitty from her.

No. She can’t lose her kitty. She can’t lose him to the white. She can’t let Chat Noir think that he doesn’t matter.

“Well, how about we start our patrol?” Chat Noir climbs to his feet and helps Ladybug and Foxglove up. “Are we splitting it into three or are you two lovely ladies patrolling together?”

“You know you’re irreplaceable,” Ladybug blurts out in an echoing mockery of the line she’d given him after defeating Anansi. Chat Noir raises an eyebrow.

“I appreciate that, bugaboo,” he says. “Maybe Foxglove can take the Eiffel Tower route for her first time –”

“No, you don’t get it!” Ladybug stamps her foot. “You’re standing there being all understanding about me doing…this!”

“What do you want me to say?” Chat Noir spreads his hands. “You’re the Guardian. What you say goes.”

“But you’re my partner, you stupid cat!” Why is Ladybug even angry? Chat Noir didn’t blow up. He didn’t get upset. He just accepted it and moved on. Why is she continuing to poke that hornets’ nest? “Aren’t you gonna yell at me for keeping you in the dark?”

“Do you want me to?” Chat Noir says. He’s so infuriatingly calm and collected that Ladybug has to resist the urge to punch him in his pretty cat face. “Just give me a minute to channel my inner Psycomedian and put on my angry face and I can –”

“Ugh!” Ladybug shoves Chat Noir. He staggers back, almost right off the rooftop, but he still doesn’t look angry. “Why are you so – so – like this?”

“I’m just…gonna go over there,” Foxglove says in the background.

“What’s the point of getting angry?” Chat Noir says as Foxglove sidles away. “You’re the Guardian. What you say goes.”

“Stop saying that!”

“Why do you want me to get angry?”

“Because – because –” Because I want you to fight me. I want you to know your worth. I want you to not stand there and just take what you’re given. “Because you should be!”

“Because I should be.” Chat Noir crosses his arms. “What do you want me to say? Yeah, I’m upset you just up and made a new permanent hero without me? Yeah, I’m upset that it’s not you and me against the world?”

“Yeah, you’re upset that I’m with someone else?” Ladybug says, desperately fumbling for something to goad him into reacting. Chat Noir blinks.

“What? Where did that –”

“Just admit it!”

“What do you want from me?” Finally! Finally, Chat Noir actually looks angry as he advances on Ladybug, though she never once feels threatened. Not by her kitty. “I get upset, you remind me you don’t love me, I just walk away and sulk while you make out with someone who’s not Chat Noir? Can’t I just be happy that the girl I love is happy?”

“You’re supposed to be fighting for us!”

“What’s the point?” Chat Noir gives her a twisted smile. Immediately, Ladybug wishes she could take it all back; could grab the Snake and rewind so that she’d never spoken this into existence. “If you need more allies, you need more allies. If you need to lean on people outside the mask, that’s what you need. I’ll just show up and do my job like a good Chat Noir.”

“Don’t you get it?” Ladybug jabs him in the chest. “I don’t want you to just be a good Chat Noir! You’re irreplaceable! I wish you’d get it through your thick kitty head that I could never ask for a better partner!”

“Really?” Chat Noir’s twisted smile widens. “After all the mistakes I’ve made? I’m sure there’s someone out there who’d be better than me. Like Foxglove. I’m sure she’d do better with the ring than me. I almost killed someone in New York, remember?”

“I don’t care if I found the best wielder in the world who never made a single mistake.” Ladybug slips her arms around Chat Noir and hugs him, squeezes him to her tightly, drinking in his warmth like a cat on a sunny roof as the realisation of why she’d picked this fight hits her. “They wouldn’t be you. They could never be you. Re – Foxglove could never replace you. Carapace couldn’t. Vesperia, Viperion, Ryuuko, Roi Singe, Pegasus, Polymouse…none of them are you. You’re the one who keeps me going. You’re the one who lifts me up, who supports me, who looks me in the eye and knows exactly what to say when I doubt myself. That’s what I wish you’d understand.”

For a long while, Chat Noir says nothing. He just continues to stand there, in Ladybug’s embrace, holding her close in return while she closes her eyes and lets herself finally breathe.

“Thank you,” he finally murmurs. “That means more than you could ever know.”

“Do you get it now?” Ladybug says with a watery laugh. “That’s why I wanted you to be angry at me about Foxglove. About not getting a say. About feeling like I was replacing you. I wanted you to fight. I wanted you to know that you’re irreplaceable to me. The way you just accepted it…it terrified me.”

“Well, if you wanted a catfight, all you had to do was ask,” Chat Noir grins. Ladybug groans and punches him in the chest.

“Okay, are you two idiots done?” Foxglove pops up next to them. “I thought this was patrol, not group therapy. Not that Ladybug doesn’t need it.”

“Excuse me?” Ladybug splutters.

“What?” Foxglove shrugs. “I was looking forward to my first ever patrol and instead I get stuck with you crying over your cat.”

“You know what?” Ladybug crosses her arms. “You can patrol by yourself. See if I care. At least then I won’t be bullied.”

“Fine by me.” Foxglove salutes and bounds off in the vague direction of the park. Chat Noir chuckles, then turns and bows to Ladybug.

“Until we meet again in an hour, milady,” he says. He shakes his staff out and heads in the opposite direction to Foxglove.

“You’re such a dork!” Ladybug shouts after him. When all she gets in return is a light laugh, she rolls her eyes and swings off on her usual path, unable to wipe the smile that’s embedded in her face.

Numeric/Pixelator

I know the rest of the internet is all off busy theorizing about season 5 and what’s to come from it, but in my little corner of the internet, I’m going to take a bit of time to talk about season 1, because that’s what I’m at in my re-write.

I got a couple thoughts on the episode, and no real structure yet on any kind of posting, so I guess just start off with the broadest stroke and then go on from there?

It’s no secret that in Miraculous there’s the formula of the day of “Marinette learns a lesson”. There are people out there that have documented what each “lesson” is supposed to be, but in this episode especially it feels like the lesson of the story is all mixed up, like the writers themselves weren’t sure what message they were trying to convey.

Like, so Marinette’s sent out to get Jagged his glasses, and Tikki scolds her for doing a half-assed job of it and picking up something that doesn’t match what Jagged requested at all. She doesn’t care, she just wants to spend her day with Adrien.

But then when they go to hand in the glasses and she gets chewed out by Jagged and sent away to do the job right this time, Marinette whines about how this means even less time with Adrien. And Tikki then pipes up that that’s what ze was saying earlier, to get the job done right the first time so that she’d have time to play rather than going back and re-doing it to fix it up to a presentable point. But... ze literally said none of that? All ze said was how the glasses didn’t match what Jagged asked for, ze didn’t mention a single thing about Adrien or free time, that was all Marinette after Tikki had finished talking.

And, I mean, isn’t Jagged Stone supposed to be one of Marinette’s all-time favourite musicians? Like, she’s a huge enough fan of his that she “gets his style” despite their age gap. She has a life-sized cutout of him in her room during season 2 when he comes over. And isn’t she supposed to be an aspiring designer? Shouldn’t she be, like... actually *excited* about the prospect of being commissioned by someone like Jagged Stone? Not have to be talked in to doing the job the right way by Tikki after trying to skirt the duties of helping him, a famous rock star that she’s a huge fan of, because she’d rather spend her day hanging out with a boy that she sees every day in school anyway and can’t even talk to when she is around? How is this the same character that goes out of her way to make banners and presents for her classmates with little to no prompting from anyone, just because it’s the nice thing to do?

But then there’s the akuma that has absolutely nothing to do with the message of the episode and is just another stalker!akuma (seriously, there’s been a bunch of those throughout the series.) And so we fast forward to the end of the episode where four lucky individuals are awarded free back-stage passes to Jagged’s concert THAT NIGHT, and of course Marinette is one of the four, as is Alya, Nino, and Adrien despite the fact that we literally only saw one frame of Nino at work and Alya just vanished from the episode as a whole until now, and Adrien spent at least a good portion of the day stuck in white limbo with Chloe, and then immediately ran off the moment he was transported back. But the message of the episode had changed AGAIN to “work hard and do your best and your efforts will be recognized and rewarded.”

So that’s three so far semi-related morals in this one episode all vying for the right to be the true meaning. But it doesn’t even end there. If you take into account the next episode Jagged Stone appears in, Guitar Villain, you get yet another possible read on the moral of the episode in “you never know when opportunity will present itself, so don’t turn your nose up at anything and always put in a good day’s work.” Because if she had just left the glasses as “good enough” instead of going that extra mile the second time around, she never would have had her talents recognized and never would have been commissioned to make the album cover that basically launches her career. With something like that to put on her resume or into her portfolio, she’s sure to be turning heads.

And still, none of them have anything to do with the akuma of the day.

And on a semi-related note, what did Alya *do* to Chloe to get her stuck sorting trash all day? I mean, Marinette, Chloe’s favourite target that she never fails to take a jab at, just got stuck running errands for people. Sure it might not be fun or what Marinette wanted to do, but in a 5-star hotel like Le Grand Paris there’s bound to be loads of important people staying there, not just Jagged Stone. If they’re putting a 13-year-old in charge of running errands for their most important guest, they must not have any other staff available to run goffer for the other patrons. So then why did Alya have to sort trash instead of helping out with the cleaning or in the kitchens with her mother, or as a bellhop, or as another chasseur...

And then there’s Jagged himself. Is it just me, or is he a lot more of a jerk in this episode than he normally is? I mean, most episodes he’s shown to be friendly and lovable, if a bit eccentric and idiotic. But here he was spoiled and entitled and unreasonably demanding of a little girl on a school-run career day. I mean it would be one thing if she was actual hotel staff getting paid for the work they’re doing, but she’s rather clearly not. And then when Ladybug gets him out of the akuma’s grasp he whines about where she took him to hide. He sort of redeems himself by coming and playing distraction so it’s not too big of a complaint, but still.

And on a further note, where are all of his band mates? Are they all still just back at the other hotel? And why did Alec have a room at the hotel? Doesn’t he live in Paris?

And talking about where characters live, what about Vincent Asa, the guy that gets akumatized this episode? Ladybug looks him up on her yo-yo and goes to his place where all the photos are being stored... only he’s been following Jagged around to all his concerts and sightings for months now (the last 30, Jagged says) and digs through his trash and even follows his mother to her weekly poker games and Jagged is from the States (or Britain if you’re watching the English dub) and clearly hasn’t been around Paris in at least a while or else he’d already have a hotel he knows could accommodate Fang’s needs and would just have booked there.

So the options are: Asa has been paying for a house in Paris, one of the most expensive places to live in the world, for over a year without actually living there as he stalks Jagged and his family; Ladybug traveled to the States and back over the course of this episode just to look for clues without the use of the Horse or her Cosmobug powerup; Asa rented a place in Paris and updated all his official documentation in preparation for stalking Jagged during his stay in Paris; or the Miraculous can track people so exactly that they can find what room a random person has booked in a hotel at a moment’s notice.

And if it is a random hotel room, he sure put up a bunch of photos of Jagged in there awfully fast. And I hope the hotel staff don’t mind all the holes he had to put in the walls for it.
