Some sketches for mlb au "fake death" (official name still to be decided pff) Here a page of doodles and the profiles of Adrien and Marinette. There they are represented with traveling gears/attires, which are the main ones I use for the au, even if they change often clothes to not be recognized. They often wear masks, hoodies, glasses and other elements to try covering their faces, mostly in the first years after the accident, so to not be recognized by other and themselves. The pic shows also them after the reveal and main timeskip of the Au. The light blue bandanas are from Adrien scarf. He cut it in half after they revealed and each treasures one part. Adrien and Marinette at the start rarely travel in civilian clothes, often moving around as heroes since they're also on a constant mission, but slowly as their bodies change and the entire world as well, they manage to blend in easier. . As for the doodles, the two are not yet revealed in that one but essentially they start feeling like for real their civilian selves are dead, since they are always on the move, like if their lives are on hold and everyone else instead gets to experience all they're missing and will never get back. Birthdays, events, driving lessons with a parent, graduation... Normal things that now are only a far dream. .

MAIN TAG: mlb meta
SHIP STUFF
Put your money on ladynoir, kids
On the merits of imperfection (why ladrien is my favourite side of the love square)
The innage tragedy of ladrien, and why I love it
So here’s the thing: (from the perspective of character growth, reversing the love square makes no sense)
To phrase this better than I did so late at night that it was technically morning: (lukanette is a masterclass in the crucial difference between showing and telling)
The NYC special might’ve sunk lukanette before it ever had the chance to happen
if we’re using “friendship is more important than a celebrity crush” to argue against the love square…
On shipping dynamics within the love square, mainly marichat vs. ladrien
ADRIEN AGRESTE MY BELOVED
Adrien Agreste and the limelight
Adrien Agreste and the question of unmasking
Some speculation about Gabriel’s possible ways out of being Hawkmoth and how they will affect Adrien
To cross your DNA with something reptile (on sentiadrien, because who needs narrative logic when you can have angst)
Being the topic du jour and all (the show has already shown that getting his amok can’t be a ~beautiful metaphor~ for sentiadrien’s freedom)
If sentiadrien is meant to be a commentary on child abuse then someone has no idea how stories work (spoiler: it’s not, because abuse is funny on this show)
SPOILER: I’M A CHLOÉ STAN I GUESS
Ending Chloé’s story as a villain would be a vaste of screentime and that’s why they shouldn’t
This be the verse (let’s just say I’m less than impressed with how early S4 handled the Bourgeois family drama)
Some more Zoé meta
Let’s talk narratological theory to explain why Chloé is an abused child in the text even if the creator insists she isn’t
WHY LUKA ISN’T MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER
Spoiler: Luka Isn’t A Great Character Yet (written in response to some people’s very low standards after “Truth” aired)
In fact he’s so poorly written that he’s pretty much an unintentional parody
Overthinking things (they don’t mean it like that but I saw some uncomfortable sexist themes to Luka’s akuma powers, both times)
Can we please stop blaming Marinette for Luka being a simp
MIXED BAG
Paper faces on parade (comparing and contrasting Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Gabriel Agreste)
On the feminist merits of MLB
The Scarf Came Back (on “Mr. Pigeon 72″ and the meaning of its many callbacks to early S1)
Related: S4 and “Gorizilla”
Jagged Stone is… (a spoiled manchild who’d be an awful parent if he’d stuck around and they were better off without him)
“Gang of Secrets” was underwhelming and that’s a problem
I finally realised where my entire problem with “Gang of Secrets” lies
Right now my main hope for S4 is that I’ll come out of it shipping alyanette like it’s going out of style (this show should’ve put more effort into Alya like three seasons ago)
MLB and the bad rich people
Some observations and a poor attempt at analysing the depiction of wealth in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir
No, Marinette isn’t a Mary Sue (because I refuse to acknowledge linguistic drift and “Mary Sue” does not mean what you think it means)
Etymology ragepost, MLB edition
This show just can't up the stakes in battle
NOT REALLY META BUT STILL
Chloé should discover Cat Noir’s identity it’d be great
I also really want Felix to become a gentleman thief
What if all the heroes knew everyone’s identities except Cat Noir’s, wouldn’t that be super fun and not at all heartbreaking
My ideas for the Secret Sibling were way better than who it turned out to be tbh
Did you know that I have a tag devoted to Kagami being a fujoshi
Outline of the Hikaru no Go AU someone else should totally write
“Puppeteer 2″ was a microcosm of the Cat Noir-Ladybug-Nino-Alya mess of S4
Marinette is canonically bi in the Norwegian dub
GOING OFF ON OTHER PEOPLES’ POSTS
The Umbrella Scene Redux in the NYC special wasn’t about Adrien falling for Marinette but a foreshadowing of the importance of friendship going onward
Adrien’s pain lies not in unrequited love, but projecting his abandonement issues onto Ladybug
A small but heartfelt declaration to adrigami
When you have to make your characters repeatedly insist that someone is so totally in love, it’s not coming across as totally convincing to your audience
tl;dr I suspect that the reason marichat is so popular and ladrien is correspondingly disliked is about gender roles, actually
On marichat and ladrien and romance tropes
No really, ladrien is stupid and that’s why I love it
The Reveal is supremely unlikely to happen before the deciding battle against Gabriel and if it does, they won’t get together before it anyway
MLB’s got a bit of a genre problem and that’s why the plot cannot ever move
Chloé is the Loki of the MLB fandom and given how much attention the show proper gave her compared to the rest of the secondary cast, Thomas Astruc has no right to be surprised about it
Chloé can’t be Queen Bee again before she realises that she doesn’t need to be Queen Bee to do good things
More Chloé analysisin’: An irredeemable character wouldn’t need a three-episode storyline to explain her reluctant fall for the villain
Some people finding the sentiadrien narrative a healing parable about emotional abuse does not stop it from functionally annulling the actual emotional abuse the show depicted

MLB KNY Au Umbrella Scene
Notes: uhhh so there is a spoiler character mentioned in here but he's also in the first season. I'm just gonna tell you who he is without spoilers so you can enjoy if you are an anime only! Kaigaku is the one who threw a peach at Zenitsu's head in Zen's backstory! Let me know if you think I should still tag spoilers or not! : )
Warnings: swearing because Inosuke, bullying, injuries, implied horniness but like implied enough to be seen as just a simple crush (because I'd feel weird if I went into detail) (gross). Let me know if it need any other warnings that I missed : )
Characters: Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma, random bully with no name, mentioned Kaigaku, mentioned Tanjirou Kamado
(This was made a 4am-6am so if you see a mistake pretend it's not there I will fix it eventually)
Tumblr media
Zenitsu looked out the window at the thunderstorm from outside. Of course it was pouring down rain on the one day Kaigaku gets sick and has to stay home. He zoned out for the rest of class, thinking about how him of all people was chosen to be Ladybug. He wasn't strong enough nor did he have the leadership skills required for the job.
But Oyakata-sama saw something in him. Something in him that not even Zenitsu could find. He also saw something in that dumb cat too…
He had spaced out for so long he didn't even realize class was dismissed until Tanjirou waved a hand in front of his face. Tanjirou being a good friend, asked him what was wrong but Zenitsu just brushed him off. Oyakata-sama told him to keep his identity secret to everyone including his partner or there'd be consequences. He wasn't sure how much damage a sickly, bedridden, blind man could do but he certainly wasn't trying to find out.
As soon as he exited the warm school building and entered the freezing cold rain and thunder his least favorite person found him. He never really got to know the kid's name considering how every time they ran into each other Zenitsu was left beaten and bruised. On the days that it was extra gruesome, he'd sneak in through the back and hope Kaigaku wouldn't catch him again.
“Oi punk I thought I told you to stay out of my line of sight.” Mystery kid got closer and closer until Zenitsu was backed up into the school’s entrance.
“I mean we go to the same school, it's kind of hard.” He nervously rambled, looking for a way out. The nameless kid didn't like his word choice as he punched Zenitsu in the face. That one would leave a black eye for sure.
He was about to throw another punch at a now crying Zenitsu until the school door next to them slammed open. “What the fuck are you doing?” Inosuke snarled. Zenitsu couldn't help but notice how beautiful he looked with a green knit scarf wrapped around his neck and a plain green umbrella in hand, both matching the green in his eyes.
He involuntarily blushed, not going unnoticed by Inosuke. When did he start feeling like this towards him? When did he start feeling this way about boys in general? However there's no time to question your sexuality when your bully practically has you in a chokehold so Zenitsu lets the thought drift away as his airways close up.
Inosuke grabbed the other kid's hand and gently but still with force removed it from Zenitsu’s neck. Inosuke stared the bully down and he did it right back. “I said, what the fuck are you doing.” He said much darker than last time. Maybe he had caught Kaigaku’s sickness and didn't know it because he felt a lot hotter than he was a second ago. Not only that but Inosuke looked hotter.
“What's it to you? Mind your own business pretty boy!”
‘Pretty boy?’ Zenitsu thought, face painfully contorting with confusion.
“Nah." He huffed before shoving their classmate down the stairs, startling him enough to make him run away. “Man, what a coward!” Inosuke snorted and turned towards Zenitsu, making his heart race and body flush a slight shade of pink. “You alright dude? Your clothes are soaked.”
“Does that matter? Thank you for saving me! You really didn't have to do that.” He jumped at the clap of thunder.
“I did anyway.” Inosuke shrugged, not seeing it as a big deal. He had been itching for a fight, today was his lucky day. He was gonna mention how Zenitsu was shivering but his dad’s assistant pulled up in front of the school.
He sighed as he accepted his fate and dragged his feet to the car before stopping and turning right back to the shivering boy. He tugged off his scarf and wrapped it around Zenitsu. “You need these more than me.” He shoved the umbrella into his hand and- smiled?
Inosuke kissed a lovestruck Zenitsu on the cheek before turning back to the car that was impatiently waiting on him. “Thank you! I'll give them back to you tomorrow, I promise!” he called to the boy
“I don't doubt it” Inosuke lazily waved goodbye with his back still turned. Before he knew it, Inosuke was gone, leaving Zenitsu with two borrowed items and some feelings to sort out.
If Zenitsu walked into his home with a blackened eye, a stupidly wide grin, and two things that were not his own that was nobody’s business but his.

MLB Reverse Love Square AU
So, I see a lot of people thinking what would a reverse love square seem like and how it would it be, so here are my ideas.
Marinette has a crush on Chat Noir, Adrien has a crush on Marientte (obviously)
As LadyBug, Marinette outside of fights is actually pretty good at hiding her crush by saying little and Chat Noir just thinks she’s super shy otherwise
Chat Noir is oblivious to LadyBug’s feelings, so oblivious it’s borderline ridiculous
LadyBug gives him gifts sometimes; his own “lucky charm,” and a scarf
Adrien thinks LadyBug is just super friendly
Marinette is oblivious to Adrien’s feelings
Which is also ridiculous
Adrien has tried to ask Marinette out, but she is like, “Of course I’ll hang out with you, we’re best friends.”
Adrien doesn’t know whether or not to be hurt or find her cute
Adrien around Marinette flirts like he does in canon as Chat Noir, Marinette thinks he is making jokes and is being playfully friendly
Marientte sometimes does fashion designs based off Chat Noir, Adrien finds this too adorable and blushes as he bangs his fist against a table
Marinette is a stuttering mess as herself around Chat Noir, Adrien fell harder than before
Chat Noir around Marinette is flirtier than ever before, and it only makes Marinette stutter more and more clumsy
Adrien just thinks Marinette is super shy around Chat Noir cause he is a hero after all
At school, Adrien and Marinette are pretty good friends.
Alya knows about Marinette’s crush on Chat Noir, and supports it
Nino knows about Adrien’s crush on Marinette and supports him
Nino and Alya are supportive best friends
Marinette has pictures of Chat Noir from Alya’s LadyBlog on her walls
Adrien just has a picture of him and Marientte framed that they had took together
Plagg thinks 110% that Adrien is cheesy as heck, and simply thinks he should just tell her
Tikki knows that Marinette can’t reveal her ID to Chat Noir and vice versa, but supports her crush anyway cause she thinks it’s cute
This is all I have so far, but I love the idea so much.

Back with the fake death au and pain!! Chat Noir and Ladybug only had small time to prepare for their sudden departure, leaving Master Fu to confirm their fake deaths. And to avoid suspicions from their families, they could take only a couple of personal items with them. Guess which ones? And even more than a year later of travel they can't let themselves give in to their stronger love, because they can't move on yet with their dear friend/crush's death. Because how can you when they keep haunting you in your heart? When you feel like they're by your side even if they shouldn't be? When you could have saved them? Why can't you put it behind like they've been doing with their own civilian identity? For Ladybug, her civilian self feels like dead for real, her life torn from her, missing years of ordinary but once in a life experiences. But her only link that keeps her Marinette's side hanging, Chat, sees Marinette everywhere. She sees and knows his pain, because how couldn't she? Chat apparently was affectionated to her civilian self more than predicted. And so Chat does with Adrien, but she can't let her pain known, since she didn't associate with him as Ladybug much. (Finding out the scarf was Marinette's didn't really help his heart) . . For my aus that implicate time skips I always use my suits redesigns. On their travels the two detransforms only when sure there are no cameras recording around, at least not relevant ones. They have new clothes and use masks but only when there are no risks of being recognised. Half of time or more they're still transformed and this eventually brought to a change of designs too. . . (Yes, Mari and Adrien's birthday in the show are for their 15, not 14. Because checking the school system, it didn't really make sense for them to be 14. Also, Adrien is one year behind with school, being born in Autumn of the previous year in my hcs.)
