I think my favorite part about the New York special is when Sparrow and Uncanny Valley were talking about how they're two halves of the same whole just like Ladybug and Chat Noir, and then in the end we find out they're sisters.

Majestia's backstory in Replay

On a separate post, we got excited and overindulged on explaining an aspect of Replay again, so we're putting it on a separate post as well for clarity. If this is against proper etiquette, let me know.

Majestica is a magical interdimensional alien who was raised in a world where everyone has magic. Her arrival on Earth, however long ago (my notes are a mess and I didnt list it in the quick notes) caused New York to be a massive hot zone of magical activity.

Never aging, she grew lonely and made herself a child combining technology and magic so she'd have a child who, like her, never knew à life without magic.

At first, she used the magick-tech of supervillains, but then she met à revolutionary and brilliant mage, Miss Jones, who claimed they had found a new magic. It was more volitile and uncontrollable than Majestia was used to, but it had potential, and Majestia was intrigued. She incorporated a small amount into her daughter's design, but not too much, fearing the instability it brought as well.

Slowly, the two worked on improving the technology. Although both were brilliant inventors, Miss Jones proved stronger in the fundamentals of the magic needed, and Majestia was better at the AI. As the project continued, and the two began spending all their time together, Majestia, a sapphic disaster, fell hard.

Before she could confess her feelings though, Miss Jones suddenly went missing. She wasn't at home. She wasn't at her job. She wasn't returning her calls. Majestia grew worried. This wasn't like Miss Jones, not at all. So, she contacted her friend KnightOwl, a detective from a long line of detectives, to find out the truth.

She'd already known KnightOwl of course. They were both single moms raising two superhero daughters and preparing them for their world, their life, but the two had, to an extent, been avoiding each other except on professional matters.

Majestia had been the one to start the trend of superheroes with open identities, while KnightOwl had always been the biggest advocate for the privacy of superheroes and was one of the few heroes who still maintained a secret identity.

It wasn't that Majestia was opposed to secret identities. She felt that heroes should go public with their identities whenever they were ready, but KnightOwl took it too far in her opinion. She had donned, not only a secret identity, but an entire personality that had been made by generations of heroes before her, keeping up a charade that she was ageless, invulnerable, and a man.

Majestia didn't understand it.

This was the modern era. KnightOwl could be a woman if she wanted. She could do her own thing. She didnt have to fit herself into literally becoming her mentor, and she didn’t have to pressure her own child to do that either, but KnightOwl was stubborn. About legacy, and the strength of an unbroken line.

Behind closed doors, KnightOwl's gender was an open secret, and her role as a legacy hero was hardly news to anyone. In public, however, Majestia was to pretend as though KnightOwl was the same person she'd invited to join the United HeroeZ all those years ago.

It was infuriating, but Majestia knew better than to push. Yet she hoped one day KnightOwl would see the light. The world didn't need an unbreakable hero. They already had that in Majestia, but they would do so much better with seeing KnightOwl and Sparrow, the real KnightOwl and Sparrow as they truly were behind closed doors. The parts of themselves they hid away for the sake of their charade and their stupid legacy.

Only, now, Majestia needed KnightOwl for their legacy. She needed that detached professionalism as they learned the truth. Miss Jones, a minor superhero in her spare time, had last been seen fighting a powerful ghost. And she hadn't been seen or heard from since.

The news had been heartbreaking. Majestia had warned Miss Jones not to do it, not to fight an enemy who didn't follow the unspoken agreements that most villains nowadays did. Her enemies had always been mindless, but they had no limits, no desire to pull their punches, and Miss Jones had always been so very fragile.

But Miss Jones had insisted that she was the only one who could do it. Most of the other heroes didn't have the magic to fight them, and even if they did, they didn't have the tech or the know-how to contain them. Even Majestia's magic wasn't compatible enough to really do some damage.

And Majestia could understand that, really she did, but she had never understood why Miss Jones had always insisted on fighting alone, why she'd always been so protective of her research, like she was afraid might steal it at any moment. Majestia knows she should've fought harder, should've insisted that her love never work alone. But she'd always loved the stubborn ones.

It's why she falls for KnightOwl. It's why she lets KnightOwl comfort her, let's KnightOwl see her vulnerability as she falls apart. It's why together the two decide to enroll their kids in the same school, for the convenience of covering for each other at first, but later because the two are so close, separating them seems cruel.

And KnightOwl loves her back. She loves Majestia more than she knows how to handle. She loves her effortless strength. She loves her passion. She loves how Majestia writes her name with delicate little swirls over her giant rack of ribs in the staff fridge. She loves how Majestia treats Sparrow like her own daughter. She loves how Majestia totally hogs the bed without an ounce of shame.

That's why KnightOwl makes one of the most selfish decisions she's ever made. When she gets wind of a new hero team, one using tech that could only have been made using Miss Jones's ideas, KnightOwl says nothing. No, she not only says nothing. She deliberately takes steps to keep the United Heroez away from them.

Because Majestia loves with her whole heart, and KnightOwl is afraid of losing to Majestia's lost love. As a result, Majestia never learns that Miss Jones survived. She never learns that Miss Jones has gone into hiding to prevent anyone from knowing just how far she's truly fallen. Struggling with her new, changed body, her mind not nearly as sharp and focused as she once was, and reliant on the creatures she hunts to keep surviving. Guilty about the kids she's managed to convince to fight her battles for her. The kids she loves so dearly, they might as well be her own.

Majestia never learns about Glowboo, Uncanny Valley's little brother, a glitchey mess compared to other AI, who's programming is slowly being implemented little by little to give his system time to adjust.

Majestia never learns about the friends Glowboo makes, and his overwhelming desire to protect them. She never learns about Glowboo's insecurities that he may never overcome his glitches. She never learns about his friendship with Mike, and how human Mike helps him feel.

But if she ever did, she might just hate KnightOwl forever.

New York United Heroez: The Story of Eagle and Uncanny Valley - Chapter 2: Aftermath (Part 2)

Aeon pays close attention to the lecture given by their teacher. Her doe eyes were fixed in front as she sat quietly with her hands propped up on the desk. Nothing could draw her attention until- "Hey! Aeon!”. Despite the interruption caused by Jess's call and the subsequent chair kicks beneath her, Aeon's focus seemed undeterred.

As the curly-haired girl turned around to face her friend, her demeanor remained calm and composed, though she couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint in her Jess’ eyes. That Cheshire grin was a telltale sign that she had something juicy to share. Despite their upbringing teaching them to be cautious about “second-hand information”, the allure of gossip was undeniable, especially for teenagers like them. And although Aeon wasn't particularly intrigued by gossip herself, she understood Jess' penchant for it. Over time, she had come to realize that indulging Jess in her gossip was a way of showing care and camaraderie. So, even though she maintained a sense of reservation, Aeon was willing to listen to what the native-american had to say, if only to share in her excitement and bond over the experience.

“Yes, Jess?” she responded with a serene expression. Her voice was steady, betraying none of the disturbance that the sudden interruption might have caused.

Jess leaned closer to her, her eyes widened in excitement. “So I’ve been observing for a while and well..- I think that boy over there has a crush on you” she whispered eagerly.

She took a moment to process the information, her thoughts racing as she considered the implications. “What?” Aeon's expression shifted subtly, her voice tinged with a mix of disbelief and curiosity. Jess' knowing expression spoke volumes as she pointed out the boy, her eyes gleaming with mischief and excitement. Her gaze flickered briefly toward the direction Jess indicated. Her and the boy’s eyes locked for a fleeting moment, a silent exchange passing between them before he broke the gaze, only to return it moments later with a friendly wave and a bright smile. Aeon waved back.

“His name’s Hector” Jess revealed, a smile playing on her lips “He introduced himself to me a few days ago.” she explains, her tone tinged with interest 

"Hector.." Aeon repeated softly.

OC #1 - Nova

Time to introduce the first OC of mine. He has no art yet and I am crappy at making art, but I can tell how he looks like in appearance, at least. He has silver-opal-blue esque short hair (hair length is a little longer than Adrien’s and a different style), dark blue eyes and is normal built. He wears casual stuff to not stick out. 

His name is Nova. He is a 17 year old boy from Planet Zeta; the same planet Majestia and Ignoblia originate from. He holds superpowers to a similar extent, as he is Ignoblia’s very own biological son. Things like breaking the sound barrier and punching a supervillain through multiple buildings is something he is not capable of just yet - that comes with age. But he is still fast enough to keep up with Mercury (that blue superhero from the NY special) and can fly, as well has solid, over-human strength. Of course, he has it’s own weaknesses, since else, it would be OP and I dislike the concept of too perfect characters - unless it’s self aware, then it could be funny.

When he was young, he witnessed the battle between Majestia and Ignoblia, that decided the fate of the planet - Majestia was the leader now after their mother died when she defended the planet from a storm of destructive energy (sound familiar?), as the people of Zeta had chosen. Of course, Ignoblia didn’t like that. She wanted control over the planet, so she fought it out with Majestia. Majestia was able to keep her away for now, but obviously, she returned and that battle took place all the way to Earth - where she met Barbara/Knightowl. Even though she intended to take the battle against Ignoblia alone, Barbara formed a group as a backup plan (that included Thorn, Hurricane, Mercury and Sting at first) and with their powers combined, they managed to defeat Ignoblia, with Majestia sealing her away. That was when she took on the name Olympia Hill and formed the United HeroeZ (Aeon was built a couple years later and Jess was already born when this happened). 

Nova, however, was still left behind on Zeta - but thankfully was raised by his father Cycnus (Ignoblia’s former husband), who believed that it is for the better that Ignoblia is away. But Nova slowly wanted to know more about the family he never had - most especially, Majestia. His mother barely told him anything about her and knowing she left to Earth, Nova wanted to follow. His father didn’t want him to, but after a little bit of Nova’s convincing, he gave in - but with a condition. He would not be allowed to use his powers under humankind. Fair enough, Nova thought.

But when he arrived, he used his powers but made sure that no one was around. For most part, he didn’t need to - he only used them if it had been an emergency. His mission on Earth was simple - find Majestia. Could be a little hard though, as he didn’t know where exactly she is. But after staying with a newfound friend for a bit, he discovered where she was last sighted - New York.

--

So, that is essentially all I got so far. The story that I posted earlier basically describes his search and if he is able to find her, or not. I have already plans for how this ends and I will come back to this once the story is over.

If you want to read Part 1; I posted it earlier I think you don’t need to scroll too much. Check it out if you are interested in this premise. Part 2 is already in development and halfway done. 

As for the next character I’ll introduce, I’ll stay with Miraculous and introduce my main OC in this franchise. He is fully developed, so I don’t need to hold back on information...so look out for it. :)

Miraculous World: New York United HeroeZ

"I wouldn't mind being stuck with a friend like you."

This movie is great and I’ve seen it twice now. I would watch an Endgame-length Miraculous World movie without a doubt.

[vavandeveresfan]

When your fandom makes you cringe.

I watch Miraculous Ladybug primarily to Ship Marienette and Gabriel.  I do enjoy the show overall, and god, I wish it’d been around when I was 12.

That said, I’m gonna get nit-picky here.

First, a personal preference: Even though I’ve read Marvel and DC comics for literally decades, and in them the entire world is crammed with superheroes, I like the idea of Marientte and Adrien being the only superheroes in the world, and the Miraculouses only being in Paris.  That makes them unique and special.  Having multiple superheroes in every country means superbeings aren’t any more unique than, well, gay folks.  If 10% of the population has superpowers it’s not impressive.  “Oh yeah, Ted down the block’s got superpowers.  He’s Lightning Bolt or somebody.”  “He’s Lightning Bolt?  I thought Eric was.”  “No, you’re right.  Eric’s Bolt and Aylesha on the corner is Lightning Strike, and Ted’s Super Plumber.  I dunno, I can’t keep them all straight.”

To quote The Incredibles:

But of course the MCU and DCU have made us used to superbeings as thick as Autumn leaves on the ground.  So naturally Miraculous Ladybug would follow suit.

I managed to find most of the movie, Miraculous World: United Heroez on YouTube.  You can’t find in on Region 1 DVD, and I don’t think it aired on either Nickelodeon or Disney+.

And I can see why.

This movie reinforces the old adage Write What You know.  Because the screenplay has so many problems for a diverse American audience.  It’s obviously written by someone who doesn’t understand American culture.

The special is listed in very small segments, subtitled in Hindi, on YouTube, if you want to judge for yourself.

SPOILERS AHEAD

First, this is one of the main American superheros.  Being New York, I thought he was Roachman.

And immediately we move in to Problematic Territory with this character:

I worked in an international airport in a store that sold Native American items.  I was the only staff member who wasn’t Native, but I’m brown with hip-length blue-black hair, so everyone thought I was.

One of the things I learned is Europeans fetishize American Indians, hard, while not knowing a damn thing about them.  Many of them are shocked to learn Native Americans are still around.  They think they’re all extinct.  And they don’t know that there were Indigenous people all over the North American continent.  They think they were only in the American West, all lived in teepees and hunted buffaloes. Europeans -- including people in the UK and Ireland -- only think of the stereotypes they’ve seen in old Westerns -- who were mostly played by Redfaced Whites-Italians-Latinos-and some Asians.

So it’s no surprise that Miraculous World depicts the stereotype of an American Indian as being that weird mix of Lakota-Dakota-Crow-Cree-Navajo-Hopi.  When these peoples are very different.

Add to that  . .  oh lord . . .

 . . . the main Black character is a fucking robot . . .

. . . . who, called Uncanny Valley (get it?) transforms into basically a white-colored ball-jointed doll.

And she was created by the superhero Majestia to be her daughter . .  .

 . . . . and Majestia looks like Joan Rivers . . .

. . .  . and she’s apparently a lesbian with a hard-ass partner/wife.

So we’ve got a white lesbian couple (that part’s good, brava) who “adopted” a Black girl who’s not a real girl, not an orphan, but a fucking robot.

This is every bad stereotype of White Female Liberals with Pet Negroes in a nutshell.  Then throw in the Stereotype Injun.

Next we have the two-earrings-bald-white-possibly Family superhero The Doorman . . .

. . .  who basically is The Dean from Community.

Continuing in the OH Fuck NO category, we have the French idea of a totem pole.

This is a real totem pole.

And once again, the Plains-Southwest Injun Mashup.

Her miraculous is the Power of Freedom.  Which most Native Americans would find darkly ironic.

“We had the Miraculous of Freedom and still we had Europeans committing genocide on our ass?  How the fuck did that happen??”

And of course they have the Wise Stone-Face Gruff-Voice Indian Elder as The Guardian.  Because we can’t have enough stereotypes in this movie.

Then we discover that Roachman Knightowl is really a woman, Majestia’s significant other.

Nice, but it was already done in Batman: Mask of The Phantasm.

Why did they have to hide that Knightowl was female?  Majestia’s so obviously female; her tits could knock down the Chrysler Building. WTF difference did it make?  Obviously they did it just so they could have a Big Reveal.

Supposedly the Miraculouses didn’t exist in America until 1880, which would be after the end of Slavery (1865) and the worst of Indigenous genocide (1863 “Scorched Earth” policy).  But since we’re shown that through history Native as well as Black people were both Knightowl and Sparrow, why the fuck didn’t they end racism against Natives and Blacks as well as Chinese and everyone else??

But isn’t it great that they have Native and Black heroes at all? you ask.

Nope.  Not when they perpetuate stereotypes. WTF couldn’t they have someone who was Onondaga, they’re from the New York area.

Remember, the Black girl ain’t even human.  She’s pretty much a doll.

I want to sit the screenwriters down and make them watch Reel Injun.

Pros:

Gabriel/Hawk Moth.  But then, I’d love him if he were in a toilet paper commercial.  Hawk Moth, deep voice: “Buy Cottenelle Quilted.  It’s so . . “ strokes roll of TP sensuously, “ . . .  comfy.”

Lafayette & George Washington:  I’m a huge American Independence geek, so seeing the movie use the history of Lafayette and Washington gave me happy geek shivers.

I wish they’d shown the entire Horrible Lafayette & G. Washington Sock Puppet school video instead of just teasing it.

The Gorilla’s fear of flying.  Told he’s going with Adrien to NYC:

On the plane, Relax Program: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your fear of flying?”

"11.”

[immaturityofthomasastruc]

There are many options for arc villains in Miraculous Ladybug other than just keeping up with the Evil Butterfly Holder and Akumatized Villains thing. Robots (possibly deployed by Tomoe Tsurugi), Pain and Tears (future villains mentioned by Bunnyx), those aliens that Bunnyx also mentioned, Guardians going rogue, plain supervillains like what the United HeroeZ deal with—Heck, they could bring in monsters like what past Holders (e.g. Hercules and Hippolyta) fought. What do/did the Miraculous Holders face when none of them had fallen into the wrong hands?

Either have Gabriel be the single main villain of the entire show (five seasons at the absolute maximum) or cut his time short and have new storylines and Big Bads every season or two.

The thing is that there's another obvious way to have more recurring villains: Use the Zodiac Miraculous. Have some other villain steal one of the Zodiac Miraculous and have another conflict revolve around getting that Miraculous back too. Maybe Tomoe could be a more active antagonist with the Dragon Miraculous.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Funny Idea: AU, where Marinette accepts Audrey's proposition and leaves with her to NY. Only mention about her afterwards, is short cameo in "NY Special", where she is so "concentrated" on her "newest fashion project" that she is completely oblivious to Miraclonizer almost smashing into window of her office/apartament (during his fight against United Heroez)

I mean she'd have to pick a new LB. So I guess we'd get Scarabella early!

But honestly Marinette would probably have like a hell of a time(derogatory) having to deal with Audrey.

New York United Heroez: The Story of Eagle and Uncanny Valley - Chapter 1: Aftermath (Part 1)

In the heart of New York City's bustling streets. Amidst the cacophony of honking horns and hurried footsteps, a fierce battle unfolded. The United Heroez found themselves facing a foe, known as Janus Two-face.

She stood before them like a twisted embodiment of duality itself. Janus's appearance was as unsettling as her name suggested. Pale skin, streaked with muck, gave her an otherworldly aura, as if she had emerged from the depths of some forgotten nightmare. Her black, silky hair hung in dreadlocks, parted down the middle of her head. Adorned in worn-out cloth that billowed around her like a tattered shroud, she seemed to embody the very essence of decay and destruction. Thick broken chains hung from her wrists, their metallic clinks echoing like a sinister warning of the danger she posed.

It was a visage that sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest souls. But it was not just her appearance that set her apart. She possessed a chilling power—her mesmerizing gaze can manipulate people at will. With a single glance from either of her haunting eyes, she ensnares minds, bending victims to her dark purposes. Those caught in her gaze become puppets, their thoughts and actions controlled by her influence.

As the heroes braced themselves for the coming battle, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at the sight of Janus. When she unleashed her power, chaos erupted among the citizens, turning them against each other in a frenzy of fear and aggression. The United Heroez sprang into action, prioritizing the evacuation of citizens first, giving Janus much less targets.

Uncanny Valley and Sparrow assisted in the evacuation, fetching people from each corner.

Uncanny Valley soared through the smoke-filled sky. She was joined by a squadron of fellow heroes, their capes billowing behind them as they darted between buildings, their presence instilling a sense of reassurance in the hearts of those below. Meanwhile, Sparrow, agile and swift, raced through the streets with unparalleled grace, his movements a blur as he navigated through the labyrinth of debris and confusion. His eyes scanned the surroundings for any sign of distress as she guided frightened civilians towards safety. They retreat to the evacuation center, farther away from the attacked area.

High above, atop a towering bridge, a man teetered on the edge, his mind ensnared by the spell of despair. With resolve etched on his face, he made a fateful decision—to leap into the abyss below. But as he prepared to plunge into the unknown, a streak of movement caught his eye.

Swift as a lightning bolt, Sparrow swooped in. He unleashed his owl-grapple, the metallic hook of the grapple embedded itself into the concrete wall with a resounding thud, anchoring Sparrow in place as he swung perilously through the air. He launched towards the falling man, grasping desperately for him hurtling towards oblivion. Sparrow's hand closed around the man's wrist, his muscles straining against the force of gravity as he fought to halt the descent. With a mighty heave, he pulled the man close, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as he defied the darkness threatening to claim them both. Sparrow was able to hoist the man to safety, his heart pounding in his chest as he surveyed the chaos around them. 

As the dust settled and the chaos began to subside, a figure descended from the skies with an air of regality that commanded attention. Majestia landed gracefully before the assembled team, her presence exuding an aura of strength and authority, "Is that everyone?" she inquired. "Yes," Uncanny replied, ever vigilant in the skies above scanning the area below for any stragglers in need of rescue, "That's everyone," she confirms. Sparrow, standing steadfast at her side, nodded in silent agreement.

Then a new presence made itself known. Knight Owl, towering and imposing, emerged from the shadows with an intensity that sent shivers down their spines. "Good. Now go," he commanded, his words leaving no room for hesitation.

As Knight Owl's stern command hung in the air, Sparrow's rebellious instincts kicked in. Before he could voice his protest however, Knight Owl silenced him with a raised hand, his gaze unyielding. "I am not repeating myself. You and Uncanny leave," Knight Owl reiterated, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. But Sparrow, unwilling to back down, persisted, his voice tinged with defiance "But we can help take her down! I can even fight her with my eyes closed!" he argued fervently. Yet, before Knight Owl could respond, a sudden blur of motion streaked through the air, drawing their attention.

A blue streak whirled around them, revealing to be Mercury. "It’s too dangerous for you kids," he interjected, his voice laced with concern as he sought to temper Sparrow's bravado. Majestia, her expression grave, added her voice to the chorus of warnings, "You two must go now," she insisted, her words carrying the weight of authority born from years of experience on the battlefield.

With a heavy heart and a sense of reluctant acceptance, Sparrow hesitated for a moment before reluctantly obeying the adults’ command. Alongside Uncanny, he turned to leave.

Or did they?

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)
