hehe. thinking about the (non-canon) thing i wrote where claudia roasts the shit out of fuckass loser luka

"You know- I just gotta ask," a voice spoke. "Why would a girl like you be wasting a night like this working?" Lydia turned towards it. The boy was tall, with faded blue-green hair and a garish hawaiian shirt. He propped his elbows up on the counter, and all of the spiked bracelets and bangles on his wrists clinked together. He was attractive—too attractive. At least to be flirting with her without some secret ulterior motive, that is. "I get paid to do it," she deadpanned. He didn't like that response. Whatever. Lydia was more focused on figuring out if the stupid getup he was in was more punk or emo or even scene—minus the dumb shirt. "That guy you were talking to," the punk said, as if he were sharing a secret worth dying over, "You do realize that's Adrien Agresté, right? The supermodel? ...The one guy famously out of anybody's league?" Lydia looked to see Adrien being bothered by the short Chinese girl the punk had entered the store with. It looked like no matter what he was trying to say, the girl kept trapping him back into another conversation. "He could be the King of England for all I fucking care," she replied. "A customer is a customer." "And you're right," he confessed, "Speaking of customers... I'm Luka." Luka reached out to take her hand. "Pleasure's all mine." "Yeah, you sure as hell ain't letting anybody else have it," Lydia pressed her tongue against the back of her teeth, as if a bit of food was stuck between them. Obviously, she didn't let that emo fuckhead touch her. "And that's your girlfriend over there, isn't it?" He slunk back a little, dejected in the exact same way a cheater would react when they got caught cheating. "It's complicated— wait-!"

#fucking 'I get paid to do it' hshhsdhshhshh #luka is trying SO HARD to rizz her up. and as always claudia responds the only way she knows how #shutting it down immediatedly #luklaudia could feasibly work as a ship though. I suppose #shitsquare #tweos luka couffaine #claudrien #thewarmembraceofshadow

Stupid MLB 'Rewrite' Lore Dump!: Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland

Luka Couffaine, the frontman of Vampire Revival and notorious cheater, is nothing but the spitting image of his father. The only thing Jagged Stone (or, as he was born, Jack Zimmerman) had that Luka doesn't is that he combined the two.

(whole ass fake article under the cut)

Founded in 1978, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland owed its inspirations to the psychedelic movements of the 1960s as well as musical giants such as David Bowie and The Rolling Stones. Their first album, titled "Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland" was not a commercial success, but in recent years has amassed a following of fans who prefer the older psychedelic style of this album. In contrast, the second album, "A Kiss Too Far", was an instant hit that took on a much more "glam rock" aesthetic, helping popularize the style in France and Germany.

Much like his glam rock contemporaries, Jack Zimmerman took on a flamboyant, ostentatious, and occasionally androgynous style in his performances, and encouraged his bandmates--the aforementioned "Waifs of Wonderland"--to do the same. Each also adopted a stage name ending in "-ka". Drummer Anne "Anarka" Couffaine, Rhythm guitarist Ellen "Elvenka" Blackwell, Bassist Lucy "Lunoka" Müller, and Keyboardist Tori "Tonika" Blackwell are considered the most recognizable "Waifs of Wonderland", though other instrumentalists and artists have been featured in JSWW albums and been given their own "Waif Names" accordingly.

Aside from their music, Jagged Stone and the Waifs of Wonderland is best known for the sheer amount of scandal they used to further drive publicity. Zimmerman was reported to be in committed relationships with all permanent "Waifs" at various points in the band's career, with later testimonies by band members reporting that Zimmerman was involved with no less then two relationships simultaneously (though it was not confirmed whether these stayed within the band itself). This caused significant strife for the band in their later years, notably leading Anne Couffaine to formally leave the group in 1988, shortly preceding the births of Luka Marcel and Juliette Élise Couffaine.

oh boy, there we go. if you got this far (or skipped past to get here), thank you :) tell me if y'all want to see more lore drops like this! mostly stuff for worldbuilding that isn't related to the main plot, obvi.

also, if it wasn't clear by the fact that i decided that Nino's name is now Nicolas Lahiffe... I like giving them all new names :) That, and because TWEOS is set nebulously around 2008-09, I changed the timeline of everything accordingly. :)))))

How many miraculous exist in tweos? It's there only the main four(plus karra) or the Chinese zodiac kwamis also exist in your au??

The Chinese zodiac box does exist, but only because Luka has the Snake. Marinette chooses to only use the snake because she thinks its ability is the most helpful (Its powers in this are more along the lines of stopping, slowing, and speeding up time), and neglects the others. She might use them for unifications here and there, but they're more like powerups to her.

Actually, on this topic: Luka only really got the Snake Miraculous because Marinette's first choice passed on it. Juleka is Marinette's childhood friend in this AU, and as Marinette prioritizes giving miraculouses to her best friends, Marinette offered it to her first. Juleka didn't want the responsibility, so she asked Marinette to give it to Luka instead. I might design Snake!Juleka in the future if you guys want me to.

Also, the fox, turtle, and bee, all still exist in this (though they get no screentime simply because the story isn't Marinette's anymore). Like in canon, the bee was given to Chloé, but instead of it being taken away from her, Chloé just quit on her own accord because she didn't realize how uncool and annoying being a superhero could be.

#tweos lore #no other aztec kwamis will show up in this btw #karra has and will always be an exception to the kwami 'rules' and having more of them would defeat that purpose #miraculous fandom #miraculous lb #miraculous fanfic #thewarmembraceofshadow #mlb kwami oc #tweos luka couffaine #tweos viperius #tweos cara.pace #tweos renared

The LuckyBug Miracle Team Sucks - TWEOS AU Analysis

(4 individuals who don't work for their miraculous, and 1 person that does)

Just to start off, yes, I am analyzing my own work. Nobody really has the same depth of information on this other than me, after all. I want to get more into these sorts of things, because I like to organize my thinking behind the choices I make in this fic, and maybe even draw people into my work as well!

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Viperius - CARA.PACE - Renared - Chat Noir

These are the five main holders of the LuckyBug Team before CN quits at the start of TWEOS. We're going to be talking about why most of them suck at their job (but mostly why Lucky chose terrible miraculouses for her peers), starting from worst to best synergy.

Viperius - Snake of Intuition

The ideal holder of the Snake Miraculous is someone who is level-headed, wise, and capable.

Luka Marcel Couffaine is the exact opposite of all of these things.

In TWEOS, Luka Couffaine is as far removed from empathy as humanly possible, making him a terrible superhero in general, much less one with a power as important as interrupting the flow of time. Luka never goes out of his way to explore his abilities, rarely involves himself in battle unless forced to, and put more thought into giving his superhero form a sexy haircut than into being a good teammate. He is explicitly only a superhero for the money it brings in even though he is already the son of a world-famous rockstar. Luka is not intuitive or wise, he is shallow and self-serving.

More Suitable Miraculous: None of them. Maybe the Mouse so he can multiply and go fuck himself.

CARA.PACE - Turtle of Protection

The ideal holder of the Turtle Miraculous is someone who is stable, sacrificial, and steadfast.

Nicolas Ibrahim Lahiffe, unfortunately, falls short of the mark.

While not as outwardly shitty as Luka, Nino also lacks the right qualities in an effective superhero. Nino is the type of person who, as Quinton Reviews once perfectly put it, "would rather be chill than be right". Nino is laid-back and likes to show off with his Miraculous, enjoying how cool it makes him look while still helping out at the end of the day. ...But he's not exactly protective. If anyone even stood up to Lucky being physically abusive, it should've been him. But Nino does not protect the weak, because he is the kind of person to stand on the sidelines. Nino is not a source of stability, he's too much of a laid-back (and often cowardly) jokester to protect anyone.

More Suitable Miraculous: Monkey, Pig.

Renared - Fox of Illusion

The ideal holder of the Fox Miraculous is someone who is cunning, sly, and witty.

Aaliyah Thérèse Césaire is trying so hard to make it work, but is underserved by what she's been given.

If anyone in the team has the braincells, it's Alya. Alya can draft up plans with her Holo-Illusions like second nature, strategize on the fly, and takes to her ability to make diagrams out of thin air like a fish to water. ...But that's not what the Illusions are for, is it? As natural for her determined nature, she strives to bend her miraculous to her will anyways, rarely ever using her Illusions to actually distract and more to help her with her thankless job of the actual team leader. It makes sense that she would function this way, though! Alya is a proponent of the truth through and through, and is rather blunt often to the point of being brutally honest. Alya is not cunning, she is forthright and stubborn. If only she got a miraculous to reflect that.

More Suitable Miraculous: Ox, Rooster, Bee

Lucky Lucky Ladybug - Ladybug of Creation

The ideal holder of the Ladybug Miraculous is someone who is creative, compassionate, and clever.

Marinette Anne Louise Dupain-Cheng is this in all the wrong fucking ways.

It does take a creative person to formulate a plan to woo your celebrity crush with a perfect version of you. It takes someone who knows how to be compassionate to so effectively deny a shred of it to Chat Noir. It takes a clever person to make up a fake eulogy. And yet, at the same time, Lucky Lucky Ladybug is hindered by her hot-headed entitlement and her need to be the center of attention. She lets her team do the creative work, weaponizes her compassion as something to market herself with, and is somehow so caught up in her own world that she ignores evidence of Adrien being a relationship when it is staring her in the face. Marinette is best described as an embodiment of "creation" only in the sense that she will one day orchestrate her own undoing.

More Suitable Miraculous: Anything would be better than the Ladybug. That way she isn't brainwashing people anymore.

Chat Noir/Errant - Black Cat of Destruction

The ideal— Actually, let's break from convention for this one.

If anyone is fit to embody Destruction, it is Adrien fucking Agresté.

Once you get deep enough into TWEOS, Adrien is by far the most emotionally turbulent character out of any of them. It helps that the narration is so often colored by his input, but his range is exceptional and takes up a significant focus of the story. He is the mostly openly self-destructive and suicidal, romanticizing the idea of dying with his girlfriend, but is equally willing to destroy others in pursuit of his goals.

It's also worth taking into account that TWEOS is essentially a corruption arc. The whole point of the story is to witness his circumstances tear him apart, unearth his traumas, show a version of Adrien that becomes bitter and violent and vengeful. What power would suit a vengeful, violent person better than the power to destroy things?

Conclusion

In short, it's meant to be incredibly ironic that the only holder that truly embodies their miraculous is the one that quits. The entire ordeal is a stageplay put on by higher powers, of course it's more important to them that their puppets are obedient more than anything.

Of course, this isn't to say that synergy between a person and their miraculous is a good thing, either; That's what makes the eventual magic-induced insanity even worse, after all. This is what killed Emilie, what's ruining Marinette's relationships, and what is starting to happen to Adrien as well.

how is it that i was thinking about that fuckass loser luka earlier and then thought “wait i can’t remember. what is juleka like in tweos” AND THEN YOU POST JULEKA ART

uhm. because i have access to all of my nation's minds. (except for the part that would let me distinguish between anon asks. that power i am still honing)

I should really post more TWEOS!Couffaine stuff though! Same with DJWifi/Nicaliyah. They deserve more. especially Aaliyah. i just have this perfect idea of her in my head and then i draw her and like.. i can't get it across the way i want, which sucks because i worry it comes across like she's my least favorite/not as developed as her own character when she is. She likes bagels and is a go-getter and loves documentaries and is the nonfiction girl to Adrien's fiction boy (in an antagonistic way lol) and is the true brains behind the Ladybug team and--- she's super cool. and i undersell that a lot. lol

AN-Y-WAY. yes i am psychic but also i like the validation of asks so like. if you guys want to see art of the side characters you have to ask or i won't know. but i will know because psychic powers, but i will pretend i won't because i'm a bitch. unless you tell my yourself then i will do it. yep.

#JULIETTE ELISE COUFFAINE THE CUTIEST EVER #i'm the kind of writer who says every character is my favorite #because that's objectively true.#yes i have favoritism. it looks like it changes around. because they are all my favorite #it both swaps between all of them and exists for all of them simultaneously.#tweos #thewarmembraceofshadow
