#but oh wait that's Master Fu's rule that they can't know each others identities because Su Han didn't seem impressed by it AT ALL

tell us your evil tikki headcanon 🙏
ohboy. okay, so one self-indulgent evil!Tikki headcanon coming right up
This spirals from my machiavellian!LuckyCharm take (also featured here and here), which is technically toying with the idea of what if the Lucky Charm worked in a “the end justifies the means” way. Meaning, that in desperate situations the object it gives would lead to morally grey or straight-up evil solutions to save the day. (For example, threatening the akumatized person’s loved ones to make them surrender.)
Since in the end the outcome -- defeating the akuma and preserving the jewels -- is what counts, isn’t it? And even if the Lucky Charm paves out a solution that doesn’t exactly sound right, it must know what it’s doing... After all, it’s always needed to save the day. There is no other solution. And since the “Miraculous Ladybug!” restores everything to its original state in the end, it isn’t just a big deal. Right?
(Wrong.)
This all originates from the blind respect for authority, for the role of the Guardian and the institution of the Order, we see in season 3. How protecting the Box is a greater good and thus all that counts in the end. (It’s not Marinette’s fault, really, she’s 14, she is not the one who should know better.)
So, Tikki comes into the picture because she’s the one “in control of the Lucky Charm’s object”, since it’s her magic that powers it. And if she agrees with all of the above (again, she supports the Order and Master Fu’s actions), then her moral attitude can screw the range of items the Lucky Charm can provide. Of what it considers acceptable.
Easy, anything.
In conclusion, the Order (and as their extension, Tikki) isn’t evil in a cartoonish sense. (Much like Hawkmoth,) they just have an original interpretation of the lines that can be crossed to reach their goal.
(Leaving Marinette and Adrien in a literal crossfire.)
#last resort#miraculous ladybug#evil!Tikki#master Fu salt#headcanon#okay so this is basically and AU but at this point who cares#ladyofthenoodle#but just imagine how fun it is when Marinette realizes what is going on and refuses to use the Lucky Charm#that leaves her without her trusted and well-practiced method to save the day most likely leading to a defeat again Hawkmoth#and leaving her in learned helplessness because the one solution she has build her carrier on has failed her and if the solut#that's the real fun ladies and gents coming back from there#aka I should really write that second installment to WUS because it's pretty much just left off not finished but I don't feel committed eno#also you can't tell me that Tikki NOT telling Marinette that she reject Adrien daily isn't evil#and she also knows that Adrien is in love with someone else (well it's also Marinette but he can't know that so he'd just reject her all th#and doesn't even consider telling her that there is something not exactly right with this situation but she can't tell why#but oh wait that's Master Fu's rule that they can't know each others identities because Su Han didn't seem impressed by it AT ALL#but shouldn't Tikki know that the past Ladybugs and Chat Noir didn't keep secrets?#shouldn't she see that the NY heroes are just fine with their identity being public knowledge?#she's a billion years eternal being for crying out loud she SHOULD know better#and she can also clearly see that the identities are only causing them trouble so tell me#tell me what's her excuse because I can't see a good one#in conclusion Tikki is b a d n e w s. thanks for coming to my TED talk!#oop#Tikki salt#I guess that's a thing now#(I am not actually this vehement about this but let's just say if I have to write a kwami I much prefer Plagg)
