Miraculous Fandom Stats

Miraculous Paris Special

I was wondering if the Miraculous Paris Special has generated more excitement than the other specials or is it just me connecting with my past punky girl?

I also wondered if this was measurable - and possibly translate to more fanfics on Ao3.

I’ve definitely seen a lot of art and have also gone on an art binge myself @hamsterdraws (but I don’t know how to quantitate posts on Tumblr). So here is my attempt to quantitate my obsession with these emo kids!

Reblog don’t repost!

📈 The data presented here is a snapshot of the Ao3 database as of December 17, 2023.

🖤 Fics Posted to Ao3

It’s only been since October 15, 2023 [1], but the preview was shown straight after the Season 5 finale in July. So overall there has been almost 6 months of speculation and hype surrounding the TV Special.

Fig 1. Total number of fics posted that has been tagged with the Miraculous Paris Special (sample size of 80) [2].

🖤 How does it compare against the other specials?

From my own opinion, I was way more excited about seeing the evil counterparts of my blorbos than seeing them do the same Lovesquare dance again. So is is just me?

Fig 2. Total number of fanfics for each Miraculous special or movie.

I think the numbers reflect the positive uptake of the Paris Special. In the first two months alone there are twice as many fics as Miraculous Shanghai.

Fig 3. Time-adjusted number of fics posted to Ao3 per month since aired. The lighter shaded bar takes into account the public release date and not the trailer date.

For a better comparison, I included the movie because it was released at roughly the same time the teaser trailer. Even though the characters were roughly the same in the movie as the TV show, they had slightly different personality traits.

Fig 4. Number of fics written about them per month in the first six months following their release dates.

The arrow indicates when the Paris Special was televised and the preceding months were based on the teaser trailer. At the time of posting, we are only halfway through December and more fics may be posted by the end of the year.

🖤 What did I learn?

On all appearances, Miraculous World: New York - United HeroeZ had more fanfics, but keep in mind that this was released in September 26, 2020 [3].

There appears to be an initial flurry of fanfics posted on Ao3 using tags for the Miraculous Special: New York, however this excitement has petered out gradually. While the Miraculous Paris Special has yet to reach that initial number, only two months has elapsed since it was publicly aired.

The Miraculous Movie on the other hand was released a few months before the Miraculous Special aired and it had generated much less fanfiction - or at least were not tagged [4-5].

In conclusion, it appears that the Miraculous Paris Special has been received well by the fans. I would be interested to see if this trend continues or if like the New York special, the fics will fizzle out.

🖤 Total Number of Fics Tagged

Miraculous Paris Special (80 Fics)

Miraculous Shanghai (33 fics)

Miraculous New York (177 fics)

TBaB: You could possibly just replace the NY Special with a Metropolis special and have Ladybug and Chat Noir team up with the Justice League.

Flash Villain Killg%re could take the role of Technopirate (it wouldn't be the first time it was the main villain of a crossover).

Or, if you make the RWBY crossover movies part of this universe, you could have Dr. Arthur Watts' AI Copy be the guy who takes Technopirate's role. Except, unlike Mike Rochip, he actually backstabs Gabriel for his own ends because, unlike with his original boss from RWBY, he can actually get away with it. It would just be a matter of freeing him from the simulation he and Kilg%re were trapped in.

Is that name supposed to be censored or is the % actually in his name?

#I wouldn't be surprised either way tbh

[rozonrozark]

I figure if Technopirate successfully manages to take a miraculous from any of the Paris heroes it would go something like this:

Technopirate: Finally, now I can use this to continue my evil ways!

Cheshire/Griffin/whatever form she's using atm: Machine.

Technopirate: ...what?

Cheshire: I will cut you down. Break you apart.

Technopirate: Uhh...

Cheshire: Splay the gore of your profane form across the STARS!

Cheshire: I will grind you down until the very SPARKS CRY FOR MERCY!

Technopirate: Wait a second...

Cheshire: My hands shall RELISH ENDING YOU. . .

Technopirate: Is she quoting Ultrakill?

Cheshire: HERE

Cheshire: AND

Cheshire: NOW!

I have never played Ultrakill but I could see something close to this happening if Techno were to take one of the miraculous.

I didn't feel like doing blood today, so I put Techno in a pirate costume. I've gotten too ambitious with painting this... If I had completed it, it would have been at least October 10th.

Proof that Adrien isn’t a Sentimonster

Since it was revealed that Emilie Agreste is in a coma because she used the peafowl miraculous, theories have floated around that Adrien must be a sentimonster. Now I have official proof that he isn’t!

When Uncanny Valley/Aeon uses her scanners, this is how people look to her:

Technopirate was influenced by the magic of the akuma and here’s what he looks like to her:

As you can see, he has a blue aura surrounding him, that she can’t process because it’s from magic. He has some yellow because he is still technically human but he’s also influenced by magic. Now let’s look at Adrien and Marinette~

As you can see he is completely yellow, the same as Marinette and the rest of their classmates. If he was a sentimonster he’d be influenced by magic and would also have a blue aura around him.

We still don’t know what Emilie was using the peafowl miraculous for but at least now we have proof that Adrien is in fact human!

#adrien agreste #uncanny valley #miraculous aeon #technopirate #miraculous new york #we finally have proof! #so glad my precious sunshine boy is NOT a sentimonster! #he's been through enough hell in his life as is...

Thoughts on Miraculous New York: United Heroez

Warning: Spoilers! I am back! Also, this is my 700th post, so yay!

The new intro is so cool! I stan! Will it be the same for the Miraculous World Specials (ie. Shanghai)??

Mr. Pigeon? Akumatized for the 51st tims?!?!?!?! I thought he moved on from pigeons and went with rats?!?! (Timetagger anyone????)

The Spacesuits! So cool! (By the way, its the purple potion).

Ladybug and Chat Noir are very autonomous, trust connected from their bond, and super efficient! (You will see where this comes into play later on.) Ladybug could have not gotten a better partner than Chat and she says this herself.

The rose scene after defeating Mr. Pigeon! I loved it so much and its better than expected!

Oh Marinette, didn't you say you have moved on from Adrien? I think her heart has yet to catch up with her brain, which takes time. Time will tell...

Tikki is visibly annoyed with Marinette saying she will move on and yet act like she still has a crush on Adrien. First of all, that is the fandom's mood. Second of all, be patient. Time will tell...

The sock puppet film was adorable. And apparently famous in NY amongst the Queens students (thank you Zag for including another NYC borough!)

Miss Bustier is pregnant?!?!? Wait...IS SHE IS MARRIED?!?!?!? Whether she is married or is seeing someone, this is still shocking (unless her prefix in the French version is Mrs.)

Poor Mrs. Mendeleiev. The class was less than satisfied with her being their chaperone. I know she is not the fun teacher, but she still has feelings and I know she is a nice person. People tend to judge and despise teachers based on them being fun or not, which is unfair. But karma comes after the class since throughout the trip, she becomes the teacher they think she is. What? She could have been fun.

Lila was not welcome in New York to begin with. At least she won't be causing any problems on the trip (though I wish she went to Antarctica).

Marinette has done more for Adrien in this episode than in all three seasons when she promised him that she will find a way to convince Gabriel to go to New York. I guess her deciding that he is "just a friend" has allowed her to do more for him than beforehand.

But she still collects pictures of him, so we will keep quotations on "friend". Or we need to give her a break (Alya I am looking at you). We'll see as we go on.

I am happy Nathalie is alive, though I am not happy with the fact that she showed Gabriel the Eagle Talon Miraculous. And he plans to go to New York. And that this is the only reason he lets Adrien go to NY.

Speaking of which, the Miracu-class showed up to his place, with Marinette being the spokesperson to yell at Gabriel Agreste's freaking face. Good for you Marinette for fighting against Gabriel. Though you did not have to put up a long fight, which while shocking, is also worrisome.

Adrien was understandably sad to not be able to go to NY. Kagami seems happy about it though. Maybe too happy...

Yes, I know that Kagami and Adrien are potentially dating (Battle of the Miraculous ending anyone? *sobs in Adrienette stan*), but it still pains my Adrienette stan heart though when she kissed him.

Of course Chat Noir will be sad to see Ladybug go. But she brings this cute cat buzzer and seeing him play with the buzzer was adorable. Ladynoir anyone?

Adrien is stuck with this dilemma: NY or Ladybug? Poor sunshine boy was shocked to hear this news. He initially chose Ladybug and wanted to stay and alert Ladybug about the new situation, but Plagg was like "FREEDOM! GO AFTER IT! BESIDES, YOU CAN USE YOUR SPACESUIT TO RETURN TO PARIS IN THE EVENT OF AN AKUMA!" Seemed like a good plan...initially. (Plagg, I am after you...sorta).

Of course Marinette will miss the bus, but Luka?!?! They either trying to remind me of Miracle Queen or Luka is superhuman for being able to show up to her place and peddle so fast that they caught up with the bus. Pains my Adrienette heart once again to see her kiss him, but he does have a point about her needing some clarity in NY.

Then we have the plane scene. Poor Marinette was panicking over sitting next to Adrien (really now universe?!). There was more to the scene: from the AC trouble to the seat reclining at the wrong time to Adrien placing the luggage in the compartment (not in that order exactly). It was somewhat cringeworthy then seeing that Marinette went to swap seats with Mrs. Mendeleive (though she only did it when Alix whined).

Note to self: DO NOT SIT NEXT TO MR. DAMOCLES IN AN EIGHT HOUR FLIGHT. He is not very conscious about personal space as he took over Marinette's seat when he was asleep and woke Marinette up. And sleeping with a bucket of popcorn? Really?

If anyone has ever been on a plane, turbulence is common, and Marinette's experience with the Bathroom is very relatable. That's why I only go in an emergency.

Adrienette watching a sunrise! (Or sunset? They are not too clear on this, especially since they arrive at the hotel at night, but everyone was asleep on the plane). And get this: Adrien complimenting Marinette and hugging her tightly! (Just a friend now, huh sunshine boy?)

Alya and Nino are a mood when they say that they love their friends, but they wish that they could express their love to each other (Operation: New York).

Alya, did you really have to tell Marinette that NY is the city of love? Thank you for making her feel even nervous.

TechnoPirate and the United Heroez everyone! (By the way, Alya needs a chill pill because she was WAY too excited to be rescued by the United Heroez. And the Owl Mr. Damocles? Really?!)

Note to everyone who does not live in NYC: no, there is not a superhero for every job.

Ladybug and Chat Noir are exceptional superheroes, but Marinette and Adrien cannot open or walk through automatic doors, which is funny and kind of sad. Peoples, your saviors of Paris.

Sabrina has her own story peoples! She is given her own love interest from Astoria! I love them! And how he invited her to the rooftop party.

Alya, do you really have to tease her and Marinette at once. "Maybe you will make a "friend""

Aeon, I agree: Marinette and Adrien are made for each other. But you sound like Master Fu in Stoneheart. Are you secretly Master Fu???

The feeling is mutual Chloé. Marinette and Alya do not want to be your roommate as much as you don't want them to be yours. And I know you do not want to be there in the first place (my city is beautiful btw).But I am happy you did not rat them out for going to the rooftop party.

When they hid from Mrs. Mendeleive, Marinette and Adrien ended up in Jess(Sparrow) and Aeon(Uncanny Valley)'s room.

Magic hotdogs!

Remember the Hotdog Scene I posted over a week ago? That really was Adrienette and it was better than before, with them floating up and dancing to the song from Despair Bear! Yes! Best scene so far!

Doorman! I want him to be my college professor!

Okay, I know I am desperate to see Marinette and Adrien get together, but really Alya, Nino, Jess, and Aeon? Put them in DANGER?!?!? I cannot.

So Marinette and Adrien are put in danger and actual danger. Danger: Jess and Aeon simulating a dangerous situation. Actual Danger: Hawkmoth in New York having akumatized TechnoPirate and make him break into the museum to get the Eagle Talon. Oof.

Then where my Ladynoir heart wears off: Ladybug and Chat Noir seeing each other in NYC to save their civilian selves. They have seen Paris being destroyed by a sentimonster, with Chat supposed to be there and call Ladybug.

Uncanny Valley and Sparrow see Ladybug and Chat Noir in action and decide to be like them because they do not have that same freedom. Look, I feel them, but I still think they should have called for the United Heroez. Plus, cool transformations!

Remember the whole thing about "autonomous, trust formed by their bond, and super-efficiency"? Yeah, that was Sparrow saying that. But Ladybug and Chat Noir are now currently lacking the last two because of the whole "Chat you are supposed to be in Paris" ordeal. Well, you are generally right Sparrow, but now they have their own issues.

Of course, the new lack of trust (and Ladybug making her anger verbal) has affected their ability to fight TechnoPirate inefficient. So much Chat cannot defend himself and while trying to free himself...

HE CATACLYSMED UNCANNY VALLEY!!! This took a dark turn as this is the first time he cataclysmed a "person" (though she is an android, but still a person by standards. I mean Majestia was understandably very upset and I get it).

Majestia punching TechnoPirate into multiple NY buildings: woah.

Ladybug manages to fix everything, but two problems arise:

1. Knightowl wanted to take away their Miraculous and reveal their secret identities. They are now somewhat fugitives in their eyes for almost killing Uncanny Valley.

2. We see the limitations of Miraculous Ladybug. While Ladybug repaired NY, she was unable to repair Paris and the damage caused by the Robostus sentimonster. Which not only indicates that the Miraculous Ladybug cure only repairs the damage created by a specific villan, but that they have to be present. Here, there were too late.

Here is where my Ladynoir heart shatters: 1. Marinette sobs over how she was unable to repair Paris and felt horrible about how she failed them, and 2. Adrien renounced Plagg because of what happened to Uncanny Valley AND for disappointing Ladybug. Then, he runs off and Marinette sobs over losing Chat Noir. It was very sad that I wanted to cry.

I know this part is still very sad, but can I say that Tikki and Plagg are cute together in Marinette's purse? Poor timing? Moving on.

Aeon and Jess are disciplined by Majestia and Knightowl for disobeying their orders and for straying from their mission: protect the French class.

Are Majestia and Knightowl together in their civilian life? And Aeon and Jess are sisters?!?! I stan.

Here's the thing: I like how the special stayed true to this part of the Miraculous Comics. There, we find that Knightowl is a woman (which you can find out from this scene or at the end). And i just stan her relationship with Majestia.

Also, how dare the writers forget the Miraculous Comics! Sure, they might be different entities, but still: how dare they let the United Heroez forget about the power of the Miraculous Cure! I know that Chat Noir should be more careful about his cataclysm and Majestia has a right to be upset, but still: they had a deadly plan set in the comics to defeat a villan and called on Ladybug to cure the millions of dollars in damage. But hey, to each their own.

Also, somewhat unrelated, but Julerose appeared in the beginning and I am here for it!

Gabriel kidnapped TechnoPirate and akumatized him again while giving him the Eagle claw jewel to liberate people from their fears or other factors. Oof.

The kwami for the Eagle Miraculous is relatable. We would all wish we had our previous owner and fear about our power going into evil hands, right?

Now back to Adrien and Marinette, my heart breaks to see Adrien having to go back to Paris because Gabriel delcares NY as "too dangerous". YOU ARE THE FREAKING DANGER THOUGH! YOU MADE TECHNOPIRATE DANGEROUS AND RELEASED HIM FROM DANGER!

Marinette decides to go after him, but falls over from the bike she borrowed due to the rainwater as she begs him to stay.

And peoples, the moment we waited for three seasons (sorta): Marinette finally utters the words "I love you" when referring to Adrien. Too bad he got too far for him to hear her.

Also, who was going to get her off the road when she broke down? Is that her form of closure?

The United Heroez are now under the Liberty Eagle Miraculous' influence, which made them go haywire. Huh. So Jess and Aeon now have to save them with the help of the French Superheroes!

So Aeon was able to uncover that TechnoPirate is akumatized and using a Miraculous through her scanners. I stan her!

Also, she was able to recognize Marinette is Ladybug and Adrien is Chat Noir. And we have a reason to explain why everyone is blind: there is a quantum mechanism in the suits that makes them unrecognizable when compared to their civilian form in the eyes of humans. She can only figure out their identities since she is an AI android. So our theory about everyone having a reason to be blind is correct AND we can cut everyone else some slack. Please.

Marinette confessed that she needs Chat Noir. This was what we wanted to hear after all that has happened: what she said in the beginning, but now in the most genuine form. I have no words other than that this is heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Adrien was worried over Ladybug's disappointment, but Uncanny Valley is amazing in the sense that she recorded Marinette's genuine words, which inspired him to come back.

Plagg, you literally make light of everything. He literally made faces in front of Uncanny Valley because she can't see him. I can't.

Ladybug and Chat Noir's reunion healed and broke me. It was so emotional as Ladybug expresses how worried she was and how she missed him and Chat explaining while admitting his mistakes.

Time to take down TechnoPirate while using Doorman's powers to take the Eagle Talon and freeing everyone. The fight scenes are epic per usual, this one especially.

TechnoPirate counting down the time was alarming, but also funny as he makes light of it.

Hawkmoth, you would have been to blame for the World War III because of your ultimatum, not Ladybug and Chat Noir.

They missed the countdown, but Majestia stops the rocket and sends it to the sun. What the hell?! What if the sun exploded?!?!?!?! (I dunno? It was an atomic bomb for starters?)

So TechnoPirate is defeated and the United Heroez apologize for misjudging our Parisian superheroes and decide to no longer treat their children like kids.

So Paris for the first time in forever needs to undergo actual reconstruction, but Nadja is somewhat forgiving as she mentions that they needed to help the United Heroez and save NYC, where Hawkmoth also was. Hope there are no hard feelings?

Marinette had the idea of having the banner saying hello to Adrien, which he watched on the plane. So nice of Marinette the class to do such a nice thing for him.

Chloé, we might have somewhat forgotten that whole Miracle Queen stunt, but I am glad to see you enjoyed NY even if you will not admit it.

There are more Miraculous around the world. At the end, we need to fear Hawkmoth. Also, there are more Miraculous guardians and I am glad to see Jess convince one of the Guardians to create a new team of next generation superheroes

Overall, the New York special did not disappoint. We got Adrienette and Ladynoir (even if we know that Lukanette and Adrigami are also a potential reality, though good news for the shippers). We also saw the New York superheroes. Though there are some points that really surprised me (ie. The Ladynoir trust fight and Uncanny Valley dying temporarily and Paris being destroyed), I enjoyed watching the special.

I am worried about the Love Square, especially with Marinette though, but that is for another post. To sum up, we know what happens in NY stays in NY, but since the season 4 synopsis mentions Marinette struggling to find time to tell Adrien her feelings, I think that the Love Square is not 100% dead, but I am not too sure. Oh well, let's leave that for tomorrow.

I stayed up for another hour or so, so I will sign off. In the meantime, go ahead and watch it on an Instagram Page or on Disney Channel or wherever you can watch the special because I will tell you this: you will not regret it! (I watched it twice and will watch it again tomorrow!)

Didn't Chat noir kill that robot girl because he wasn't because careful with his power, you think with having the power of destruction, he be more carefully when using it.

It's true that he did momentarily kill Uncanny Valley through his cataclysm in the New York special, but for a better understanding of how it reflects/does not reflect on his aptitude as a superhero, let me run down all that happened that led to this particular accident:

As Techlonizer attacked the museum, Ladybug got angry at Chat Noir for abandoning his post in Paris without informing her promptly of it.

While the both of them were taking on the superpowered Technopirate, out of anger, Ladybug had said a lot of words that hurt Chat Noir. It was valid for LB to get upset with him after abandoning Paris and coming to New York, because she told him beforehand she was going away and trusted him with protecting Paris while she's on leave. Chat Noir didn't do that same thing she did.

Chat Noir, isn't at all separate from his emotionally-stunted civilian self, and so in the fight while he was trying to explain himself to Ladybug, and she continued to shut his explanations down out of anger, he lost his momentum in the fight. That's all his confidence gone out the window, because Ladybug told him she can no longer trust him.

He triggered his cataclysm at the hopes of using it against Techlonizer, but he got flung and accidentally hit Uncanny Valley with it.

With all these events that happened, it just goes to show that even the most experienced and sophomoric superheroes have vulnerabilities that when exposed, can lead to them further losing their edge because their vulnerabilities take over, rendering them helpless. Remember that Superman has Kryptonite. All Chat Noir wanted was to prove, even desperately, that he could still be trusted by his partner. What happened here was not a show of him misusing his power, but a show of how Ladybug's words to him in those scenes threw him off-guard and caused an accident.

If the mistake lied in activating his cataclysm immediately mid-fight, it was because he wanted to bank on his power turning the tide of the battle to the heroes' favor. He wanted to still do something to prove he could be useful. Chat Noir still knew what his objective was when he activated his cataclysm, and just because he accidentally got flung towards a robot and destroyed it with his power doesn't mean he's less of a superhero. It was an accident, and he was not totally in control of things that transpired with Techlonizer in the museum then. He can make mistakes and trigger accidents like this too, especially with the emotional turmoil he's got going on from time to time.

Please, don't be too hard on him for that.

Had two ideas for Red Velvet AU: For the NY Special, Mari and Chloe would still be in NY while RV and Tux are still duking it out in Paris. So the girls would probably jump to help when they could. But, unless Technopirate is told by a second party, would the Eagle still be found and/or used?

The second idea is an AU of the AU wherein Gabriel has the Ladybug and Tom finds the Cat on Marinette's desk.

Honestly yeah like. In HC and LL I had Hawkmoth stay in his own lane during the Special while Technopirate figured out the whole Eagle thing on his own.

So like.

Yeah it's a vibe.

While I don't have a name for LB!Gabriel at the moment, Cat!Tom is actually Tomcat because I can't resist.

[miraculouslycool]

Ok, so how is it that in Cat Blanc, Ladybug's healing wave was able to cross through time and fix the damage made by the Chat Blanc, fix an entire timeline, AND repair the moon but in the NY Special, the healing wave was only able to fix Uncanny Valley but unable to repair even a single scratch in Paris?

Because her lucky charm was intended for the use of defeating Technopirate's akumatised form in general. She had a plan for it but she wasn't able to actually put it to use, because of Uncanny Valley accidentally getting killed and Majestia yeeting Technopirate away for that.

If Ladybug and Chat had gotten to Paris before Mayura made the sentimonster disappear, she would have been able to repair Paris, because she would have gotten a different Lucky charm to defeat Robostus in particular. She wasn't able to do that because there was no monster to defeat and akuma/amok to release.

It would have been nice to see this in action, but it did show the limitations and just how detail oriented and specific the Lucky Charm is as a power. The NY special made its use involve more timing and precision and I like that it wasn't used as a press-to-win button with the formula that a normal ML episode would have.

#ml nyc special #asks #ladybug #lucky charm

[gale-gentlepenguin]

I still can't believe people are thinking there were instances of racism in the ny special. Apparently, the original owner of the eagle miraculous was white so the show suddenly condones colonialism? Doesn't it make it even more remarkable that the current owner of the eagle is Native American? And Aeon's creator literally treats her and calls her her daughter, her mother punched Technopirate through four blocks cause he killed her. But salters say this is somehow slavery??

How does one twist things so much?? I don't understand it.

Yea, at this point nothing surprises me on what the salt community tries to do to hate on something.

I could say more, but dedicating more then half a braincell to this would be a waste.

I know you may have been asked this before but do you know of any J/H stories where Jackie gets pregnant but Hyde does not know and someway or another Hyde or Jackie leaves and Hyde does not find our about his child till they are older but not an adult? Thanks!

I can rec a few stories with this plot (and totally different approaches to it).

1. Like A Rolling Stone by elphabachan

Summary: Ashleigh 'Ash' Burkhart is a typical teenage girl. She never knew her father, and never cared to. Until she stumbled upon a new record store in a Minneapolis Neighborhood....

Rated: T

2. Frames by heatherlea75

Summary: Future JH fic. Two decisions lead to devastating consequences. Can Jackie and Hyde fight and beat everything that has so far successfully kept them apart?

Rated: T

Note: Unfinished but worth the read.

3. How Was I Supposed to Know? by HydeLuver

Summary: Two years after Sam shows up, Jackie returns to Point Place and brings with her a surprise that will forever change Hyde’s life.

Rated: K

4. Who’s Your Daddy? by romionefan4eva

Summary: Leaving Point Place, Jackie vowed that Steven Hyde would never discover he was the father of her unborn child. Twelve years later, finally returning, it seems glaringly obvious that Jackie’s daughter is related to Hyde. Glaringly obvious to everyone but Hyde, of course.
