So I just woke up from a nap, and as I was stumbling about the bathroom in a post-sleep haze, I was musing on celebrity culture (as one does). And I thought:
"People don't want people. They're still searching for the old gods."
Immediately after that, I felt a brief flash of pain in my chest and I stepped on a sharp piece of wood lying about (on the tile bathroom floor?)
I think I've discovered something the universe doesn't want us to know...
(we could chalk it up to the fact that I've been stuck inside for weeks and I'm also sleep deprived but where's the fun in that??)
Calling all artists, people! Now is your time to shine!
AKUMA DESIGN CONTEST
Now YOU can help us by designing and naming the Akumatized forms for Mireille and Alec!
Download the images provided above and edit them how you would design their Akumatized forms.
Please note: You do NOT have to be a professional artist, sketchy designs are acceptable too!
Please be descriptive with your design ideas! Tell us about the Akuma’s powers, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and any other details you wish to add! You can also tell us how you believe they should be defeated if you wish. You also have the option to NAME your Akuma form! This is your chance to contribute to the group!
Here is the backstory to their Akumatizations:
One of the mornings on Adrien’s route he’ll go to the TV Studio to record lines for the upcoming Ladybug and Chat Noir movie sequel.
After finishing his session, he walks out into the hallway to encounter an upset Mireille talking to Alec. It appears she’s flustered and upset that the teleprompter malfunctioned during her morning weather forecast and she fumbled her morning review. Alec seems to be teasing her about it in a harsh way. Adrien has the choice to either side with Alec or Mireille in the discussion.
If Adrien sides with Alec, “Technical difficulties happen! It’s okay if you stumbled on your words a bit because you’re still new. All of the people watching will understand.” Mireille will still be upset and leave the group to be alone.
If Adrien sides with Mireille, “Hey, you should think about your first times on TV. I recall my father telling me about his first interview with you when you were new. You tried to lighten the mood cracking jokes but got in trouble with your supervisors. All new people have to learn from their mistakes.” This causes Mireille to giggle a little and Alec to walk away miffed.

Three cheers to the six fanarts challenge for lifting me out of my Beetlejuice obsession and getting me back into Heathers. (Not for too long, though...you’ll see.)
Sneak peek at the upcoming #sixfanarts I'm working on! I might bring down the exposure when I finish all six 🤔 but for now, here's Poison Ivy!
(I've never drawn this character before and I initially wanted to give her costume more details, but in the end I decided to keep it simple to save time. I still think it's pretty nifty!)
Which musical murderer do you think is the most dangerous?
So, we’re gonna try something new here. I’m new to Tumblr, new to YouTube, and new to...social media in general (raised under a rock club, hi there), but I’m a fan of musicals and I started wondering of all the musical murderers I’m a fan of (Phantom of the Opera, J.D., Sweeney Todd, Beetlejuice)...which is actually the most deadly?
So I made a speedpaint where I talk about that. It premieres tomorrow at 2pm, if that’s the sort of thing you might look forward to. Idk, quarantine sucks. But in the meantime...who do you think is the most dangerous?
