Did you know you’re the top #adrien agreste blog according to Tumblr?

this is honestly all i’ve ever wanted all the time forever

#top adrien agreste blog according to tumblr….. #oh marinette wishes she had my stanning skills. alya wishes she had my blogging skills. #i can think about that boy like nobody’s business #ml #asks #anna rambles

[gingerbread-qwq]

Do yall ever think about how the show takes place over a few months? I think about that dayly and how it makes literally no sense..

Like i get quick friendship but Chat Noir and Ladybug are a bond of like 3 years. Same with Marinette and Alya, honestly they act like childhood friends more. The only ones that act appropriately for how long theyve known eachother is Nino and Adrien. And youre telling me Marinette is *that* obsessed over Adrien after a month or 2??

Its not just relationships either its hawkmoth and the city too. Most of the time it feels like an issue going on for years but then we find out that theyre barely done with the first quarter? Wtf?? Like dont get me wrong i dont want paris under brutal attack by this crazy old man everyday for 3 years but like, it definitely couldve been paced *way* better.

Like he attacks sparsly at first and then after a bit it gets more common and then mayura is added in and then hes like doubling up attacks every day. Or y'know they actually defeat Hawkmoth in a timely manner instead of dragging it out for 5 seasons. Idk im just rambling atp

#Im gonna try to make a “fixes” post later where i explain out all my changes to the story/world because oml it needs it. #this show is so bad #i promise yall its my favorite show #i just kinda hate it with a burning passion #miraculous ladybug #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #mlb #miraculous #marinette dupain cheng #adrien agreste #nino lahiffe #alya cesaire #hawkmoth #miraculous complaining #thanks for listening lol #ginger rambles

Possibly How It Should Have Been

Gosh, I've just thought about it sometimes, as I'm largely trying to turn my creative focus onto something more enjoyable than ML (hence less writing for ML fics), but sometimes I just can't help but focus on it. Cause it's a great concept and it's butchered and that bothers me so much.

And there's SO MUCH that could've been done to improve it. Some of which could be easy tweaks. Some of which needs massive overhauling. Some of it is just picking a lane, staying in that lane, and you follow the road to progress.

It's a great concept with a LOT of possibilities and ways it could've been done. I've actually thought about possible ML Rewrites a few times, I even reached out to a friend to try and help develop a Rewrite that we could've collabed on cause I was struggling to much to decide, and we both just got stuck cause there's so many options for characters and what could possibly be done as we could see so many pros for each option.

And of course, part of the pondering that came to my mind was seeing promising improvement with kwami swaps.

Like, Marinette and Adrien may have developed better if they had each other's miraculous. Plagg could've been the ideal foil to Marinette as he's the opposite of her in every way, addressing her overworking herself, prioritizing others over herself, and caring so much about her responsibilities that it just weighs and stresses her out. And with Adrien and Tikki, she could've helped him develop as an actual, step up in responsibility, learn to take on duty, to care about others over himself. She also would've helped him get the plot rolling, as Adrien is a stagnant character but Tikki is not. She's going to get him involved into the Agreste plot whether he wants it or not, and in turn, he's going to get Tikki to learn to be more attentive and considerate of her holders cause things can go south for Adrien very quickly if she pushes too much.

Gosh, another great kwami swap that could've been done that could've improved a lot was switching up who are the leads. I always wondered if Tikki and Plagg TRULY would've picked Marinette and Adrien, also if they were even the right picks now that we know that Fu doesn't know everything and is running on limited knowledge. As far as we know, they ARE the wrong picks for these two. And considering there was an ep of Tikki and Plagg picking their own users, I now wonder if Alya and Nino should've been our actual leads.

How Alya was initially as Scarabella screams to me that it would've better served in the Origins as a starting hero. Alya also has promising potential arcs as a starting hero, especially as being a superhero is her living her dream:

There's the struggle of balancing her civilian and hero life, she can learn that the civilian life is just as important.

She can learn that being a hero isn't all glory and isn't always easy.

She can learn the importance of secrecy, and what happens if she exposes herself to the public or to a friend (probably Marinette).

And a lot of the lessons Tikki is involved with would make more sense with Alya, who does get tunnel vision and isn't good at listening to others and isn't so considerate and can be very pushy with her own agenda. Alya naturally aims for the leadership position and Tikki wants her Ladybugs to be leaders, so Tikki can help guide Alya to improve as a leader. Lastly, Alya will challenge Tikki on her call outs, which could at certain points help established that Tikki isn't always right and is open to learn and adapt too. And Alya could busy herself looking into HM, making her theories and being nosy about his identity, which Tikki would readily be apart of and encourage. Which Alya should've done in the show than recklessly trying to expose the heroes identity to the public and help HM win. Which, if Adrien wasn't a hero, maybe that should have been his role instead, which Gabriel could encourage and Adrien is even more excited cause he thinks his father is taking an interest in what he does which can be some later Adrien angst for you.

With Nino and Plagg, the BIGGEST plus is that it would actually give Nino SOMETHING outside Alya and Adrien. It would've prompt him to get more focus, and based on what's seen, he's 2nd to Marinette in having the most friends, meaning he can be more engaging and present with what happens to his classmates. Plagg also could bring some needed chaos to his life. You can even expand upon what's seen in Horrificatr where Nino can be controlling, strict, and harsh so Plagg can work on that. Nino does have some similarities to Marinette where he does care a lot for his friends and is hardworking, so there's something there to make Plagg a bit of a foil to him. To expand on Nino's role as Alya embraces being the big hero and savior, could even do the fandom popular idea of him getting Guardian training.

With those two taken, this nicely opens up others getting the Five.

Marinette can work with either Bee or Fox. If you want to work off Chloe vs Marinette, it works best if Marinette has the Bee. Though I think Pollen's personality should be overhauled, but if not, at least there's a perk that yes man Pollen going to force Marinette to take initiative and decide things for herself instead of seeking advise from her kwami. And with Fox, that can work off Marinette being a meddler, schemer, being creative, and her more inclined to work from the shadows. There could also be a fun twist to explore with Marinette not liking liars and she has a miraculous tied to deception, plus her and Trixx could've been an interesting pair to see interact, especially if working off what's seen in Sapotis where Trixx is very observant and manipulative, but also a bit of a chaotic gambler (from what I've seen, later seasons seem to ruin Trixx as a character). And of course, Marinette having Fox could work off her vs Lila, you could even dabble in her vs Felix.

Arguably, Chloe MAY grow as Alya and Nino would NOT have been so tolerant of her unlike Marinette and Adrien, so Chloe could've gotten the Bee and actually be a good hero and character for it. But that can also come down to preference and how you want Chloe to go.

Adrien could've gotten the Turtle, which I think could've been one of the best miraculous he could've gotten as he naturally likes to be a protector, and this miraculous works off that while also giving him protection. Wayzz also could've maybe addressed Adrien readily sacrificing himself, help him learn to be more cautious instead of rushing in, or at least think and be smart about how you go forward. There's even a possibility of Adrien having Turtle full time, as Nino could share his suspicions with Fu about Gabriel, so Wayzz could be there as a spy to check things out, which would have Adrien eventually get involved in his own plot, but still allow things to be at a slower pace. And as Wayzz, ideally, seems to be serious and dedicated but also playful and open minded, I think he would be very engaging with Adrien, which in turn could mean that when Adrien needs a call out, he would listen to what Wayzz had to say more (as most of the time Adrien ignores what Plagg says).

As for the leads, both would have an equal neutral involvement in the plot that can explain why things don't resolve quickly (looking at you Adrien who won't even ask questions about the suspicious book your father has). Alya would be a hero and lead for glory and self-righteousness, Nino would be to genuinely help others. Neither would have a super close tie to Gabriel, allowing him to sit under their noses for a while.

Also, gosh, you even could've had a lot of fun with color coded rivals/foils/personal antagonists for Alya and Nino.

If you really wanted to do Alya vs Lila, let Lila actually have the Fox or maybe she bought the Fox in Volpina, and this has Alya and Lila having the miraculous the other is color coded for. She could work off being a hero initially for the wrong reasons, just like Alya who starts for the glory too, as well as integrity vs deception.

Something could also be done between Nino vs Felix, with Nino really color coded for Peacock while Felix is color coded for Cat. Could play off both being ambitious to a fault and being selfish and nosy, but Nino cares more for others vs Felix is more exclusive.

And if expanding to others...

Of course could do Marinette vs Chloe if Marinette has the Bee, Chloe could have the Mouse, which could be funny to see Chloe deal with herself. That might humble her.

As for Adrien... could do him and Max being foils, work off Max getting Horse while largely wearing green, and I think Adrien is most color coded for Horse. Could work off both being perfectionist and could delve into the shared interest of gaming, with Max trying to bring out the competitiveness in Adrien. Could be thinking vs action.

Either way, ML is frustrating cause it's a show with potential and great concepts and it's irritating that it got butchered so. And the most frustrating thing is that there is just so many options to how it could've been done better. And kwami swap wise, these are my top two picks that would've been better.

Thank you for coming to my TED talks.

Hey guys. I realised nothing is stopping me from assigning my 5 favourite miraculous characters lucozade flavours.

Felix: Apple. Apple will forever be my favourite. It's a good, simple and easily findable flavour. It's nice with most snacks and it's really good when it's been in the fridge for a few hours. Felix is amazing, complex and I think he suits apple.

Alya: Blue burst! I'm actually drinking it right now and it's so good. I think the name alone screams Alya, the burst being how energetic and determined she is. It's sweet but not unbearably so, like her, and it's absolutely delicious!

Ladybug/Marinette (I preferred this picture to the marinette one): cherry. Now you may think this one is completely obvious, and I agree. But not just because it's red like her. I also think how sweet and bubbly it is reflects on who she truly is. Also I feel as if her lip balms would be cherry flavoured so I felt it fitting.

Chloe: Orange. I feel as if not a lot of people appreciate the orange flavour, nor like It, like her. I'm a Chloe Stan till the day I die and I think shes just orange. I don't know how to justify it, she just is y'know?

And last but not least, chat noir/Adrien (like Marinette, I preferred the chat pictures I found) : lucozade sport raspberry. Hear me out on this, it's fucking amazing and underrated. Just like him. Also it pairs bangingly with a sausage bean and cheese melt from Greggs and he would probably love one of those so, y'know.

Did I spy Alyadrin headcanons in your tags? 👀👀 have any more bouncing around that brain of yours?

you did 👀 it’s twitter canon that alya did think chat noir is cute in season 1 but alya seems to have less than than zero interest in adrien as anything other than the ken to marinette’s barbie. she doesn’t dislike him but he’s really just kinda this prop in marinette’s grand love story, especially in season 1 before dj wifi gets established enough that they start inviting adrien to video chat on their group hangouts. so from that i think there’s nothing really about adrien as a civilian that captures alya’s interest. she supports marinette 100% but doesn’t really get it. she oohs and sighs at the right times when marinette tells the story of the Umbrella Scene but privately she is like. i don’t get it. he is just some polite boy with good hair.

of course i think her opinion of him grows and changes as she gets to know him over the course of the series, but he’s not someone she would’ve have been drawn to on her own. she was just as ready as marinette to write him off in origins, after all. and she’s pretty unbothered by the idea of marinette moving on with luka at the beginning of season 2. but i think sometime in late season 2 through season 3 she starts to get to know adrien a bit more and he’s not just some guy who gave marinette an umbrella one time. they’re not super close but he’s no longer just Romantic Lead #1 that can be swapped out for Romantic Lead #2 with no changes.

and of course by season 5 she’s unwilling to entertain the idea of marinette moving on from adrien at all, even with himself (though that is not entirely about adrien). and clearly some of chat noir’s charms have worn off by season 4, too—though she’s not unaffected in sapotis, so that shift probably happens later in season 2 as well.

(of course they truly bond in the post season 3 instagram timeline which blessed us with multiple alyadrien posts 😌)

Sometimes Miraculous Ladybug does things that look dumb but that I enjoy anyway because the characters are fourteen. Like Alya’s blue camo supersuit? I think it’s hideous. I think it looks terrible. BUT. “I’m a stealth superhero now so I’ll change my costume to a camo print because it’s stealthy!” is such a middle school thought process that I can’t help but love it anyway

#miraculous ladybug #Alya Cesaire #Rena Furtive #ml season 4 #also Chloe's blue eyeshadow. look if you wear makeup when you're 14 these are just the style choices you make #Rachel rambles

[beezonia]

Okay some more general miraculous mons stuff because I need to world build a bit more

I feel like all I’m posting for this au is doodles and no story (I’m sorry)

——

Mari is 18 and so are most of the kids

She and Nino are still best friends in this, same with Kim but he’s separated himself from them now (hangs around with Max, Alix and Ondine)

These three were like shauna, tierno and trevor in the xy games and they went around Kalos helping professor sycamore with his research

Marinette then went to compete in showcases full time

Nino has his own radio show where he just blasts good tunes and vibes all around Kalos

Kim and his pokèmon are training to become the strongest (he plans on doing the gym challenge soon)

Yeah

Adrien grew up with Chloe as one of his closest friends

The two of them trained together constantly, longing for their parents validation (Chloe specifically wanted to impress audrey)

Adrien then started to enter contests due to his mother and her showcase performances being his inspiration

He gained his popularity for being humble but absolutely decimating his competition

Chloe followed not long after but ended up doing showcases instead, her father always backed her and was proud she had decided to do something for herself

Chloe and Marinette met due to the showcase circuits, they tended to but heads at first but soon found common ground when they both realised they loved styling their pokèmon

Chloe also does Furfrou grooming in her spare time, she finds it therapeutic!

She then flips when Adrien and Marinette tell her they finally met each other

Kagami longs to be a pokèmon ranger instead of a champion (like her mother, Tomoe was the champion of Jhoto before she passed it to Lance)

So when she meets Felix and the rest of the gang kagami slowly learns to let loose and break free from the chains

Felix is going for champion

In Galar, he’s already in the top 2 for the region’s best trainers so why not

He also really loves studying the legends of pokèmon and how the bonds of humans and mons made the pokèmon world how it is today

Alya is working under Alexa, she’s always out looking for the next big scoops

Yeah that’s about it for now (again sorry I’m not giving you guys a lot for this au)

Your favorite character with your less favorite miraculous

Look at me, I used to salt on her so much and now she's my fav,, character development :P

It was hard to pick my fav so I restricted myself to just the show's characters because I would not have been able to pick between my ocs (Blanche and Stephan to be specific lol)

The miraculous was a bit easier, now, it's not because I dislike the miraculous but it's because of just how much the kwami/suit was a pain in the ass to draw, and since I'm still struggling with Voltt (and Orikko doesn't exist LOL) it was really simple

look at him, he's just not it

#ask #art request #my art #miraculous ladybug #kwami swap #thunderbird miraculous #alya cesaire #thunderbird!alya #voltt #anyway ive realized that im gonna have to redo the md timeline again #because befana cannot exist at that point in the time #and i could merge it with ikari gozen #but that just puts so many things in one chapter #like kagami prima queen AND the fox miraculous first appear there #thats too much #anyway yeah im rambling about nonrelated stuff again lol

once adrien and marinette figured out how to date each other they got too powerful and are now dating all their other friends one by one

Alya's the type of person to give all of her pets stereotypical pet names but when you actually meet the pet it's not at all the animal you expected

#rambles #alya cesaire #ml headcanons

[crizztelcb]

For me marinette does not have any social media, she just can't keep up on seeing everything on there (and she had almost no friends on them anyway) she maybe has an old account with nothing in it but she long forgot the password for it. I can only imagine alya the social media girl with marinette.

Alya: so I made a post on Instagram about ladybug new hairstyle and did you see it got more likes than my hours spend research over possible ancestral ladybugs? That sucks i spend days searching for some evidence!

Marinette: you did a post about ladybug hair style?

Alya: yeah, Didn't saw it?

Marinette: I don't have Instagram so no.

Alya: I also posted on Twitter.

Marinette: I don't have Twitter, also last night I got way too focused on crocheting a hampster jumbo size want to see it?!

Alya: wow yeah I would love to but you really don't have insta or Twitter? Maybe tumblr?

Marinette:...... does pinterest counts as social media?

Alya: no. Show me the hampster.

Ultimate Love Square

LADYBUG and CHAT NOIR are always sniping at each other - might even be an Enemies AU. MARINETTE does understand that CHAT NOIR is working under mitigated circumstances and does want to help him. ADRIEN is deeply attracted to LADYBUG, which makes perfect sense if you understand QUADRANT VACCILATION. LADYBUG is in love with ADRIEN. MARINETTE might like him just as much, but ADRIEN is too busy trying to get MARINETTE and CHLOÉ to get along to notice.

#there's a moirail ladynoir enemies marichat version #in which alya ends up auspisticing between adrienette #but that one was just kind of sad (adrien loves ladybug but hates marinette) and unrealistic #(this kind of quadrant vaccilation for marinette seems unlike her) #miraculous ladybug #homestuck #chaos rambles #I ALSO have some eccelent graphs for a sedoretu lovesquare.
