This is Painted Lady, my take on butterfly Marinette! Got a couple other butterfly designs coming too~
Ref under the cut
The 3 a.m. is dawning on me and thus the time has come to start my first au, and by start I mean after it lived in my head for a month I will write it down.
...
(damn writing is hard)
So...
Anyway Miraculous Ladybug au that spawned in my brain and hunted it is typical "what canon? Only canon I know can shot" by which I mean:
- Kwami are eldritch gods "bound" to Miraculous to allow them to experience world from human perspective without causing mass madness and corruption... Most of the time. Which means that...
- Miraculous cause side effects which depend on the age of the wielder, time and their realationship with the kwami.
- A lot of Miraculous (and their kwamis) are changed most drasticly the Rabbit (because I can't deal with this level of time travel shenanigans) and many more just don't exist in this au like Goat.
- Also in this au they were created by diffrent cults over long period of time all around the world, often in pairs (time wise not necessarily by the same cult) for example Cat Miraculous was created in Ancient Egypt during/just before Bronze Age Collapse while Ladybug Miraculous was created at the same time in Mesopotamia.
- The order was founded and collected Miraculous from the Eastern hemosphere during times of Mongol Empire. And exact reason for their Collapse is diffrent but I am still thinking about specifics.
But those changes are just background the real meat of this au is:
- Lila joins class when Alya joins in canon (and vice versa) and she fights to rule over the class by any means (putting her at odds with both Chloe and Marinette)
- Marinette is butterfly wielder and...
- at first the incidental but later deliberate vilain. Because as the saying goes "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".
- she will have eldritch and fae vibes
- also Chloe maybe (definetly) started a cult of her alter ego
Feel free to ask questions also name sugestions for au and Marinette's butterfly persona will be terrific
