inspired by this post (warning for religious imagery.) of a black fem angel moodboard by @vampyrkalm!
As angels in a black body, finding that board meant everything to Seraph and I. The angelkin community and angelcore and general angel aesthetic has an overwhelmingly white image. No more. ♡
AU details now I am very interested (you don’t have to)
HI ILLY THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I AM GLAD TO OBLIGE. I'M ASSUMING THIS IS ABOUT MY BUG NOIRE AU LET ME KNOW IF IT'S NOT
So basically. Cracks knuckles. The set-up of the AU is based nearly entirely on two concepts: 1. In the show, Bug Noire cannot stop grinning when she first unifies the Miraculous which I have capitalized on completely and taken to be a consequence of a power rush, and 2. Marinette in this scenario is the only one given both Miraculous, as Master Fu (or perhaps another, more strict order of guardians?) thought that entrusting the two most powerful Miraculous to multiple people was too dangerous.
(GIF taken from the Wiki!)
So in this AU, Mari is Paris' only magic defender, and she is SCARY. She has all the same incredible forward thinking that Ladybug does in canon, but without anyone to support her or protect her, she's gotten used to absolutely tanking damage and pressing on regardless with a wild air of enthusiasm. The unity of the two Miraculous of creation and destruction in this AU are nearly unbearable for mortals to handle; because they, unified, are Gimmi, representation of all of existence, wielding both at one causes interesting consequences.
(Screenshot also from the Wiki :3)
For Mari, that means she's full of a powerful joy and elation to be participating as an active agent of Existence (or Balance) in the universe, but she also revels in destruction and chaos, and every time she transforms she finds it harder to adjust to the more limited understanding that mortals possess. Tikki and Plagg are very worried about her, and Marinette is too, but under careful watch Mari cannot part with the Miraculous and instead presses on-- to her own detriment.
Alya and Adrien, on the other hand, have never met Mari. They're both newcomers to the school, but Marinette as a full-time hero never makes an appearance there. Instead, both Alya and Adrien befriend Nino who is their guiding light. He mitigates Alya's relentless drive to investigate akumas and vouches for Adrien's goodness to the class when Chloe puts it into question. The three grow close, but something's missing.
Alya meets Bug Noire when she's put herself into the battlefield, eager to film the mystery of the akuma and record it to the public on her BugBlog, since Noire herself seldom interacts with the public. Adrien, on the other hand, meets Bug Noire when he's being targeted by the akuma, and his inner desire to help recognizes that Noire, as wild and energetic as she is, seems to be struggling in a way that others don't see.
Noire, drunk on power but still fighting tooth and nail to retain a sense of her identity and her desire for companionship, is ecstatic to speak with Adrien and Alya but tries to keep them away from the fights as much as possible. Adrien and Alya, being themselves, of course don't let this stand and repeatedly put themselves in positions where Bug Noire would be a fool not to rely on them to help wear down an akuma, or evacuate the area, or break an object, or make shaky banter to. This grounds Bug Noire in a way she clings to, and she begins visiting Alya and Adrien not as a Miraculous user but as their friend.
In my head I feel like Alya and Adrien would convince Bug in the end to give them her Miraculous "to inspect" (can we see them!! They're so cool and you can use a break), and Marinette, Tikki, and Plagg would finally be able to speak to Alya and Adrien (and Nathalie and Alya's parents and Nino, presumably) to try to seek out the support they've been lacking after being out in this position. Perhaps this would be the catalyst for convincing the guardians that having multiple Miraculous active is a blessing rather than a needless risk?
Anyways that's all I've got for now!! Thank you for the ask Illy I am giving you a hug
Genderguérison (masculine, feminine, and neutral versions respectively)
🌼🌼-🌞🌞-🌼🌼-🌞🌞-🌼🌼
1. Genderguérison - a gender that results from one's own healing from past events (i.e., trauma, health conditions, etc.)
Derivation and pronunciation:
Derived from French, “guérison” meaning “healing, recovery”
Pronunciation: /ɡe.ʁi.zɔ̃/ (ge-ree-zon)
I’ll always miss you when you’re away. I want to try and keep myself busy, and yet you keep me distracted, ever present in my thoughts. I cannot help but wait for you, use this time to create for you, and long for you to return. I want to be able to sit like a dog waiting for its owner: my whole life revolves around your presence.
I’d sit here for as long as it takes. Let everything I do while you’re away only bring us closer together. Every memory I make without you, every meaningless thought I have, let me tell you about it all when you return. You’ll always return, won’t you? I want to know what you do when you’re away.
No matter how long it takes, I’d wait for you. The seconds might stretch on into minutes, hours, days, and yet the second you come back, it will all have been worth it. Every moment without you might feel like a lifetime, yet I am not really alive when you are away.
It would all be worth it, as long as you’d miss me too.
