Got the sudden inspiration to go back to my Butterfliar AU with some concepts based on like... Actual butterflies. But I ended up spending too much time and energy on this one and burnt myself out. And despite the fact that this is definately, in no way, Lila in the Butterfliar AU; I still spent forever on it and think she's pretty so I'm posting it anyway.

Can you tell me more about your butterlair au? I love the design of Lila. What is Lila’s goal in the au? It is similar to hawkmoth goal?
Tumblr media
I'm just kidding, lol.
Okay, so... Gonna give some setting and context first.
The Butterfliar AU is an AU based in an hypothetical future in which Lila, after doing some soul searching and traveling, comes back to a Hawkmothless Paris. With your Villain gone, there's really no need for Heroes. And the more Lila gets comfortable in her new/old setting, the more she just... Wants a little bit of chaos.
Don't get me wrong, she's matured. She knows how to empathize with people, she can let go most of things in a healthy adult way, and though she hasn’t entirely beat the habit... She can go a full day without telling a single lie. But a part of her yearns for this... Action. Something that's a picture-worthy moment. But in it's essence, she desires to capture the very thing that spiraled her as a teenager, the thrill of living everyday seeing these dramatic scenes play out. But without a Villain,,, there's no need for these scenes. They don't even happen.
It starts at a job, where she was hired as a photographer for a Fashion Show featuring Marrinette's Fashions. A simple enough job, just photograph the modles, get the right angles, so on. But a break is initiated and Lila feels... Compelled to go backstage. Something pulls at her very being to just go... Take a peak. So, always weak to her impulses, Lila listens.
And I'm not sure why the Butterfly Miraculous was there, why it was left unattended, but it was. And before she could even think, she was almost caught. She panicked, grabbed the box, and ran. And the rest was History the moment she opened the box and met Nooroo.
With this box in her hand, the pin proudly displayed and this tiny... Confused purple creature before her. And the explanation that followed from it of what it was, as well as the looming threat of what would happen if she was caught trying to return it; hey'd know. Her career would be over and she just couldn't have that. But also... She now had the power to... Create the scenes she desired to capture. And really, the Public needed role models, heroes. She'd be doing them a service by stepping into the shoes Hawkmoth had left to fill. Of course, she would avoid outright damaging or hurting others, but...
It would be a shame not to use this new knowledge and power, right? A waste, even!
Extra notes:
>Lila is a phrotographer, and does freelance jobs as well as ones that are licensed. Photography was a hobby while she traveled, but it was something she had learned to genuinely enjoy as it showed something that could be honest if taken in a moment. But still could be staged just as beautifully. Both sides intruiged her, and so she pursued it as her career.
>Lila and Nooroo actually get along pretty well. She's never once mistreated him, and treats him as a close friend. But also makes no effort to hide him. Most people think she's schizophrenic or something.
>Lila views herself as a Necessary Evil, and honestly doesn't hold any truly ill will. Is it to hide her selfish desires and maybe deal with some unchecked trauma? Absolutely. But she has yet to figure that out for herself.
>It's uncertain if Marinette knows that Lila is the same Lila from her youth. But Lila certainly does, so the few times they've interacted has been... Awkward.

Hello I have another question for you! So how does the public react to butterfly! Lila? Also what is lila goal? Is she planning on taking the miraculous or is she just doing it just for fun?
Good question! However, I'm afraid that's a question that has many different answers.
Tumblr media
The public reacts to Butterfliar in different ways, both in the beginning and continuing through out the story. Naturally, there are some people who are terrified, as that entire Era in itself was just... Something deeply traumatizing for most of the people of Paris. And other people, like Lila herself, had felt an almost guilty sense of excitement- since Akumas being back would mean there's once again a need for Heroes. And there would once again be a reason to tune into the daily news for things other than the reminder that the world they live in is a depressing place.
Speaking of the News, they would capitalize heavily on it. New big thing, it's scary, it's a potential threat to the public, and it rakes in the ratings like hell. I imagine that, especially in the beginning, all you would see on TV or any form you get your News from is about the return of the Akumas and who could possibly be behind it all. Late night talk shows, casual tik tokkers, random people the News asks in the street, it's all about the Akumas.
As for Lila's intentions, you can find more details here.
But TLDR; She happened upon the miraculous on chance and then (because Trauma and dealing with traumatic events is a huge theme here) she steps into Hawkmoth's shoes, and views herself as a necessary evil. So... In some way, I suppose it could be categorized as "For Fun".
Some casual sketches <3

I've been thinking about this idea for an AU for a while now. I'm calling it the (Liar, Liar,)Butterfliar AU. And, it's a Miraculous AU- even though I don't really keep up with the show anymore. I still enjoy the concept regardless.
Okay, so, the basic run down of this AU... Its set in a hypothetical future where Lila ends up getting her hands on the Butterfly Miraculous.
She's still a liar, but now with empathy. She views herself as a necessary evil, and she has a tendency to break the fourth wall. So on and so forth.
I don't think I have enough courage or motivation to create a separate askblog for her... But if anyone wants to ask Butterfliar!Lila anything, or just ask me about her... My ask box is almost always open! ☆

Everyone thinks Butterfliar!Lila is a schizophrenic.
But thanks to that, she can talk to Nooroo in Public without too much of a problem.

Drew a little icon for myself, and surprise, surprise... Butterfliar!Lila makes her return.
I swear I'm making progress in The Chariot as well. >>
