You know, the moment where Emonette wipes away some of Badrien's make up, revealing the same black vains she has hidden away underneath her scarf and then after she tries making a wish they reach her face
That actually has some massive implications the narrative just glosses over, huh?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Emonette only looked like this AFTER she tried making the wish but the black vains already reach far into Adrien's face BEFORE that.
And the thing is, we don't even see ALL of Adrien's face underneath the make up. Just this little part.
The black vains could be all over his face and neck by now and we wouldn't know because the scene literally shows us that he's wearing very good make up covering it up. Something Marinette didn't saw the need of doing before bc it wasn't bad enough yet to go to these measures. In her case a scarf was enough.
Something that for Adrien apparently stopped being an option for quite some time before the special even started. That sure explains why Griffe Noire took the cataclysm like a champ, his body was already much more damaged than Toxinelle's and he got alarmingly used to the pain.

*sigh*
I really hate being a bitch about this because Marinette's shot here is simply beautiful and such a heartbreaking piece of story-telling. I hate that the show can't let me enjoy something like this for Marinette anymore. Man, I REALLY love that shot of hers...
But for the love of God, Miraculous. If you want to give Marinette the special treatment with the striking visuals that show how bad she's got it, PLEASE just write it accordingly.
Why are you here, giving Marinette this extremely striking visual alongside the message of "it's just a little broken, we can fix it again" after the unique event of her having tried making the wish and then only letting Toxinelle openly run around with all her black vains visible?
Tumblr media
You just admitted in the same damn scene that Adrien has long started wearing make up to cover up his own damage marks and from what little we can see his marks at least reach as far as hers. Not to mention that Marinette looked like this after she tried making the wish, the special SHOWS that this created a big leap in how big her damage got.
Adrien already long reached that level only through using his powers. That was equivalent to her getting punished for releasing the wish-making energy.
Miraculous, why are you out here visually manipulating the viewers into thinking Emonette/ Toxinelle had it "so much worse" again than Badrien / Griffe Noire, when what you actually did was cowardly hiding Adrien's damage marks underneath make up so Marinette can get the cool and deep shots?
I'm not against Marinette getting these cinematic and striking visuals, she's the main character, I KNOW.
But would it hurt you to then actually write the story accordingly? If you want her to be the one who has it worse here then actually write it being HER who has it clear-cut worse and don't just hide away Adrien's damage and seriously implied to be bigger problems AGAIN so Marinette can get the spotlight instead.
Why is this ALWAYS happening? JUST WRITE IT, DAMN IT!

OKAY BUT NO in full honesty... when it comes to how Adrien sees Marinette, the thing he seems to find most endearing, most charming, most funny, most loveable about her is her absolute unhinged cringe and awkwardness. 
And that is like my FAVORITE thing. That’s what makes me giggle and blush the most about them lmao 
The trait that the fanbase sometimes criticizes her for, the trait that she feels self conscious about, the trait that has caused her to often be perceived as awkward, weird, and strange... that’s the trait that Adrien is so captivated by and I cannot tell you how much I just love that ADFJKJFF...how much I love them!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“School time,” Marinette says, and accept the nuzzle pressed to her cheek. “You know, maybe it’s not that important that you’re with me today. I mean, now that Hawkmoth -“ “Oh Marinette, of course I’ll come with you!” her kwami says, diving towards her purse. As Marinette makes to close it, the air moves as something not quite solid brushes past her. “Plagg?” He stares up at her from beside Tikki. “I’m not staying holed up here all day.” “Okay,” Marinette says and closes the purse, swimming in too many feelings and too little sleep to pursue the fleeting thought that Plagg was here for Nooro and Duusu and she should at least tell him to stay away from any cheese in school. Maybe he just wants to be with Tikki. The thought of Plagg wanting to be with Tikki sends a tense reminder about the boy with Plagg’s miraculous wanting to be with the girl with Tikki’s and how he’s all alone somewhere, but looming in front of Marinette is the tangible reality of another boy who probably isn’t going to be in school because he’s so very much more alone than she’d ever thought possible.

You know what I think about every now and then? How wild Miraculous would be if they waited to tell us Adrian was Chat Noir until like the last episode (not Origins but Volpina).
Imagine that scene where they’re each on one side of the wall, but it pans to show Adrien instead of Chat. Imagine the fanfics, the explosions, the REVELATIONS! Heck, I think the wait for the actual reveal could be more bearable if we had less time knowing these dorks are just in love with one another. We could probably guess at it (though based on the old “Hawk Moth is Gabriel’s twin obviously” theories I assume it wouldn’t be a popular one lol), and that would only sweeten the moment. Idk, just imagining how wild that would be makes me weep for a world that never would have existed

Miraculous Ladybug AU: Long Distance Relationship
WARNING: suuuuuuper long post.
(this is something I’ve debated on writing a fic for, but the combination of one of the main themes being a language barrier where I do not speak either of the languages and also the lack of real plot has sort of put me off to it. I might do a bunch of loosely-related blurbs/oneshots based on this universe, but again I’m undecided. I still really have grown very fond of this AU though. If you like it please do let me know!) 
An AU where the miraculous team is split up into different countries, and Akumas are a worldwide problem, not a specific-to-Paris problem. 
this AU really doesn’t have a lot of “plot” i guess… it was more just my brain being like “what if Ladynoir was an LDR” and I kinda built an entire spinoff universe based on that idea. 
this is almost completely feel-good-fluff, just a fair warning
Semantics
The main changes are that every hero has their own way they can cleanse an akuma, not just Ladybug. Most major cities have anywhere from 1-3 people on their designated superhero team. 
So- in this AU Hawkmoth is actually the one with the guardian box, and he is looking to collect all remaining miracle stones, not just Ladybug and Chat Noir’s. The AU doesn’t really hinge on Hawkmoth’s identity being Gabriel or not- it really doesn’t matter lol. It could be him, it also could be a completely different guy. Nonetheless; I did change it so Emilie is alive and well in this AU for funsies. 
So… How does Marinette not know her own powers? Wouldn’t Tikki explain this to her? Well, in the beginning of the AU, the heroes don’t even know the kwamis exist either. Since the stones have been separated from the box for hundreds, even maybe thousands of years in some cases, all of the miraculi have entered this “low power mode” and the kwamis can no longer make a physical form that appears when their holder is not transformed. 
So the Kwamis can see through the eyes of their holder when they are transformed, however when their holder is detransformed they are sent back to a plane where the kwamis exist together; the box itself. The kwami can’t directly talk to their holders either, but they can sort of give them vauge direction, steering their conscious or almost like “put thoughts in their head” which the heroes just kind of play off as instincts/powers kicking in and telling them what to do. 
I saw somewhere the idea that Ladybug’s default moveset technically doesn’t come with purifying akumas; and that this was something Tikki added to her moveset because she is fighting Hawkmoth, and i took&ran with this and also the old pre-3d bibles that leaked a LOT. 
The kwamis understand that they are stuck in the box and that Hawkmoth does not have good intentions for them once he is able to collect the stones, which all of them still feel connected to and they know are scattered all about Earth(or just Eurasia is what im thinking honestly; since there are already other miraculi that exist in North and South America). So in a last ditch effort to overthrow their evil collector they are able to… “magically destinise” the stones into the hands of a bunch of 17 year olds. They also know these kids will need to work together to defeat him; even if they live in different countries and speak different languages. This is where the “added powers” come in. 
If a hero/heroes need help, they are able to use their miraculous to call another miraculous holder out to their city. In my original concept the hero could choose who they were summoning, but I think I prefer the idea that it’s truly random now; maybe even that the kwamis themselves decide who to send over based on what power would be best suited for a particular fight. Once transformed, they are able to walk through a gateway to the other hero’s city to help out. 
This has limits, of course. If you detransform in any way(whether that’s running out of time after using your power or if you call it off yourself), you will be sent right back to where you were before you walked through the gateway, so that you can’t possibly get stuck in a city halfway across the world. 
The calls themselves also have a cooldown period. Once a hero makes the call, they themselves will not be able to make another one for a full 72 hours after the called-in hero is back home. You can however still make like a “chain” of calls, for example: lets say Chat makes a call and it chooses Ladybug to send to Paris. As long as it has been more than 72 hours since Ladybug made a call, she would still be able to use her own power to call a 3rd hero out to them if need be. 
If they’re already transformed for some reason when they’re called; their weapon will start ringing like a phone and allow them to simply press a button and open the portal. If they’re not yet transformed, each of their miraculi will “react” in a certain way to let the holder know they are needed somewhere, for example; Marinette’s earrings will snap tight against her earlobes, Adrien’s ring will burn hot, Alya’s necklace gets strangely heavy etc. Something that would bother them; but not something noticeable to others. 
Same thing for transformations- since there’s no kwami around to eat and recharge, they have a “cooldown” period. This only applies after you use your power though, and they can still freely detransform and retransform by calling the suit up or down as many times as they want; like it is in canon. This cooldown is waayyyy smaller, only maybe 2-3 hours. It’s again one of those instinct things they can’t fully explain, it’s just a gut feeling they get if they’ll be able to transform or not. 
Their suits also have almost like an auto-translator built into them? It’s not like the suit dubs everything over for the hero in their own language, it just sort of magically makes them be able to understand what the other heroes, the villains and the civilians are saying, even without knowing the language. I think i’ve always found this idea really funny, just like 4-5 teenage superheroes fighting alongside each other and yelling in completely different languages and yet not missing a beat with one another, and how absurd it would be someone outside of the team. 
Another power given is also the power to speak in other languages too; however this takes a ton of effort and focus from both the kwami and the holder. This part is like exercising a muscle though; it gets easier the more you do it. At the start they can only use this to communicate very basic things to civilians (“stay here” “get down” “yes/no”) but with time it evolves. 
I also think I’ve landed on their kwamis actually being the ones picking which words to give/teach them; this will be relevant later 
They can also use their weapons to make a phone call to one another (like they can in the show) and it has the same translating abilities. 
Also they have the cool extra powers from the old bibles like Ladybug being able to make wings with her yo-yo and having sticky fingers that can climb on glass walls etc. but that’s just me wanting them to be cool LMFAO 
OKAY; now that’s the semantics out of the way. 
“Plot” (we’re going to use that term loosely)
In my original version of this AU that is now scrapped, I had Marinette be the one that stayed as the hero of Paris, and I moved Adrien to the UK to be the hero of London. But the more this went on, the more I was very….. eh about a British Chat Noir LMAO. Chat Noir as a whole just feels like such a Parisian thing; his suit, the name, everything. Also come on, French Loverboy Adrien is wayyyyyy better than making him British LOL 
So, I have moved Marinette to Italy, and she is actually the hero of Milan instead of Paris.  This doesn’t really change too much about her tbh. it makes Tom full blooded Italian instead of Italian-French, they still have a bakery on a corner and she still has her little rooftop balcony, it’s all there; just in Italy instead of France. She’s still very much the same character she is in the show lol.  
Both Adrien and Marinette still have superhero partners- Just not each other. Alya is Marinette’s partner, and Chloé is Adrien’s. 
Adrien and Chloe actually go to a private school for uber rich kids; so they’re not exactly unpopular but they’re also not special or stand out in any way. Chloe’s still got a bratty personality, but I actually quite like the idea that instead of being a bully towards Marinette and Alya, she’s borderline desperate to make friends with them. (finding other female teenage superheroes to relate to isn’t exactly commonplace.)
I also just love Chloe and Adrien being able to have a genuine sibling-type relationship and Chloe not being Literally The Devil so sue me. I could always just replace her with Zoe….. but Chloe’s personality is way more interesting than Zoe’s, I feel like Zoe and Adrien are very similar so it would just be a boring dynamic to think about idk. I do Not Hate Zoe in any way and she’s even an important character in my fantasy AU but for this it just does not work as well imo 
The hero teams each fight their first few akumas on their own, and it isn’t until Queen Bee and Chat Noir are on their 4th akuma, totally panicked and cornered and grasping for solutions that he notices a “summon help” button on one of the screens of his baton. He’s just kinda like well fuck it and presses it…. and then nothing happens. 
3 minutes later, an italian fox hero by the name of Rena Rosetta arrives. Rena and Chat don’t even fully comprehend that they’re speaking different languages; Queenie is the first to point this out. Ofc Rena helps them save the day, and once her timer runs out; she finds herself back in her room in Milan.  
Since there’s no kwamis or guardian to really give the kids “ground rules” there’s not really anything in place holding them back from telling each other their identites. They still understand that it’s dangerous though; so while Alya and Marinette know each others identities almost immediately, and same with Chloe and Adrien, they don’t go blurting their names and real lives out to one another right away. 
ofc in classic Chat Noir fashion he falls hard for Ladybug the first day he meets her, and in turn she finds him to be dramatic and ridiculous.
Once Marinette implies to Alya that the cat boy was flirting with her though; hooooo boy is it over for her. Alya is fully gunning for Marinette to give him a chance; and Mari is like hell the fuck no. She doesn’t even know anything about him! He could be a horrible snob and she doesn’t feel like giving him the time of day to find out. 
And then all unravels when he discovers he can call her. He was just messing around with his baton one afternoon, seeing if there was some feature he missed; when it’s right there on his screen, a list of contacts, with the only option not currently greyed out being Ladybug. 
Naturally, Ladybug tries to play off always answering his calls as just… having nothing better to do on patrol anyway, but in reality there isn’t even a real patrol schedule; she just finds herself craving his company in spite of herself and ends up transforming to run along rooftops and talk about… anything really. They tell each other about their hobbies; they talk about their favorite tv shows, and end up finding out they’re generally into most of the same things. 
Things get flirtier and flirtier, and even if Marinette won’t admit it, she does really like him back. When he’s out of the heat of battle, he’s very sweet and genuine. 
I always have the very cliche scene in my head of the first time Chat is able to see Ladybug without the mask being on a night there was supposed to be a school dance; Marinette was very excited for this as she spent all of her extra money on vintage fabric and countless hours creating herself a garment. In classic MLB fashion, an Akuma attacks, the dance is destroyed, and it gets subsequently cancelled. 
Coincidentally; Chat was called in for this fight, and he does not have to use Cataclysm. So after the fight is over he decides to hang around for a bit, get away from home for a few hours and take in the sights. He knows he won’t see Ladybug or Rena around, both of them had to use their powers, and it’s likely they’d be too tired from the fight to come and hang out anyway. 
It’s annoying; cause I can never decide if i’d like him to know what she looks like before this or not. at the very least, I like that they know each others civilian first names, and this comes about because they give each other their switch codes to play some games together and Completely Forget that their display names are just their irl names lol. 
But of course; she isn’t transformed, nor can she yet, so this is the first time they’re face-to-face with a language barrier, and it’s only one-sided. She’s able to talk freely and he’ll understand; but forming a meaningful sentence in Italian about just how pretty she looks tonight is proving to be a feat for Chat. 
This is where Plagg being the one who is picking the words to teach him comes in. During a fight he’s not going to mess with him of course- he needs to do his duty as a hero, but it’s just too good of an opportunity to pass up to magically teach him sentences like “My car needs an oil change” or “I wish bananas were the color blue” in Italian instead of anything remotely useful while he faces the girl he’s got a crush on. 
This frustrates Adrien to no end. He’s screwing his face up in concentration, and yet he’s got nothing. It’s almost as if he can hear Plagg laughing at him; and he doesn’t even know the little guy exists. 
And for someone who calls a couple times a week and ends up talking to this boy for hours; Marinette notices right away that he’s now uncharacteristically quiet around her. 
Marinette expresses her disappointment for how the night’s events played out; and Plagg finally gives in and starts giving the poor kid some stuff that’s actually useful. He bucks up the courage and asks her if she’d like to have a dance with him, and this is the first time they have a real romantic moment together. He’s still too nervous to kiss her, but now he knows he’s in deep and he needs to find a way to Milan so he can ask this girl to be his girlfriend like ASAP. 
After this night; there is a definite shift on both ends. There’s a newfound fondness in her voice when she speaks to him; and their calls end up running later and later each night. 
So it becomes this dynamic where Ladynoir are extremely comfortable, touchy and flirty; and Adrinette are bashful, sweet and downright shy around one another. Even after they start officially dating.
That’s probably my favorite part about this AU; you have both extremes and they exist in tandem together. 
They also have a loooonnnggg period of time where they are like all but officially dating but he just hasn’t asked her yet, and it’s because he’s made it Very Very Clear that she is much more important and valued than having him ask her for his hand over the phone or during an akuma attack. He wants to be Adrien, look her in the eyes and ask Marinette to be his gf. and the only way that’s possible is if he travels to Milan. Which his very strict father does not want to let him do. Oh at all. 
“wa wa they fall in love too easy in this AU!!’!’” yeah well I DO NOT CARE!!!!!!  
Ladybug doesn’t know she’s already interacted with Adrien once before she finds out his identity. Something was going down at his school because ofc, but Adrien was unable to get away from class because the teacher had barricaded them in, so he’s just sitting there like fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck. 
Ladybug finds her way into this very same classroom by being thrown in through the window from the akuma, and Adrien goes into NO NOT BABYGIRL mode and tears across the room to help her up. He winks at her and she had found him to be Very Handsome, but obvi she has no idea that it’s him until a few weeks later when he confesses that yea, you already saw my face. tht was me b. and she’s like OOHHHHHH NOOOOOO I AM SOOOOO SCREWED!!!!!!!! IM DONE FORRRRR even though she was already completely so totally done for.
Also Emilie is alive in this one because I love the classic idea that she’s the one pushing for Adrien to be allowed to meet his GF in Italy while Gabriel is like “absolutely not” and the silliness that comes with that.  
______
I have a couple other funny ideas for this, but I dunno if I’ll ever write something for it! 
If you enjoy it please leave a like or a rb or send in an ask with questions I’d super appreciate it <3

Ironically enough "Exaltation" made me realize something about Ladrien for which I just can't help myself but give the show a free pass for hardly ever using this side of the ship, even if I think the show definitely suffers from it not really being present:
Tumblr media
Seeing that Gabriel now intends on taking advantage of Chat Noir being in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng made me realize that I to 100% support the shows decision to use Ladrien as rarely as they do because that way the show can never EVER even just accidentally create the situation in the narrative that one can blame Marinette/Ladybug and her love for Adrien for the abuse Adrien endures at home.
It would have been SO easy for the show to have the villains son as civilian at some point declare his love for the main heroine (which are mutual) and that secretly enrages his father, or have Ladybugs love and interest for Adrien Agreste be noticed by Gabriel/Hawkmoth at some point which could have lead him to use his son as a tool in that way.
But that never happened. The amount of negative influence Marinette/Ladybug COULD have had on Adriens abuse by default was basically kept at the absolute minimum possible story wise. And that's how it should be.
The abuse Adrien endures at home is on Gabriel as abusive Father and Nathalie as abuse enabler. They are the shows main villains, that's where all the causes of Adriens abuse at home belong. There should be no ways to twist and turn Marinettes/Ladybugs highly limited involvement in their lives and be able to come out of it with a way to blame her. Because domestic child abuse is on the parent/care takers not anyone else.
So yeah. I might be salty that Ladrien is so rarely in the show because the show would have MASSIVELY benefited from it, but I sure as hell can respect THIS.
