the feralnette au by @bigfatbreak has had a chokehold on me for months and i got bonked by the art fairy today, making my digital art ACTUALLY good for once, and this idea was living in my brain. the latest update was an incredible depiction of an anxiety attack, and the shattering of felix's bracelet was a panel that i went "i had a feeling this was coming" and also made me go "oh shit"???? literally this au is so good and i highly recommend anyone who likes angst and marinette and incredibly gender felix to go and check it out.
A redraw of @bigfatbreak 's feralnette au bcus it's like my favorite thing ever 🤭 but I suck at fanart and figured a redraw would be better 😭😭😭
big fan of the halo motif in this fan comic btw I rambled to a friend of mine abt it as I was reading it for the first time like a live reaction PLS READ FERALNETTE AU IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Me and my friends were doing that "multiple artists, one base" challenge with our favourite duos!! I just had to do Feralnette and Felix! :3 (we're ignoring the fact I can't do side profiles)
you should go read his fic since it has been recently completed
I wanted to post this as part of a longer series of messing with eye strainty colour schemes but ngl theyre giving me a headache to draw so solo tricky it is tho I might come back to a more muted version of this kind of colouring
… is quite the busybody, jumping at any chance to experiment and make new things. Though his eagerness to create has gotten him recognized for their talents, it also leads to many unfinished (or destructive) products.
Normally you’d find him tinkering away at her latest invention, but as of a recent it seems that her creative spirit has died down. No one knows why.
( And at school, you’d typically find them in the laboratory, but just like her recent willingness to create, his visits have dwindled. )
Older versions:
Equally important additions:
1. Gifted Kid Burnout, Baby!! (That’s possibly triggered by seeing your mentor get snatched into the shadow realm. Who knows? Marinette sure doesn’t).
2. Methinks that most of the headcanons from my old art-dump still applies here (though I have to double-check to be sure).
3. Mar’s inventions tend to (ironically) end in disaster.. but it’s the ingenuity that counts, right?
4. Yes, the suit design was inspired by Spider-Man.
5. I could spew more about Mar’s character but yknow. Mar tends to be a lone wolf in situations, not that they do it consciously! But it’s more like they’ve gotten used to having to solve problems on their own due to the people (and adults) that are in her life. While this is a great(ish) thing because of her classmates dependency on him, it also leads to Chat Noir feeling very frustrated in the midst of battle when Spots run off to do their own plan without consulting the other hero on it.
6. Mar’s creative soul is the one thing that gets her in trouble most of the time! He learns to not be afraid to step over boundaries, but that unwillingness to back down when they should can be terrible in a lot of situations. (Though, beware because Marinette’s personality may be due to change. I’m still figuring out how I want it to be).
7. Spots’/Red’s backpack (which I now realize is hardly visible) has wings giving Red the ability to fly. Spots’ backpack can also be taken apart and turn into almost any invention they want, having its only disadvantage being that they no longer have a means of transportation. The Fanny pack? I just thought it was funny… plus I think they would store candy and water in there to give to any shaken kids (or to anyone who needs it).
8. Yeah, Marinette wears a compression shirt under their hoodie + Carries around headphones in their bag bc overstimulation. (ADHD/Autism as always).
