For my next magic trick, I’m going to turn Alya into a car!

Final destination style

It’s kind of funny for me to think that she’s cursed to die during every akuma attack in some bizarre final destination-esque death. Best part is, she only remembers how she died in violent nightmares and flashbacks!

Yeah, I know. It’s morbid. Don’t ask me why I like to torture my characters for fun, it’s like getting cuteness aggression

Side note, Plagg is not actually telepathic, he's just done this a few times and already knows the questions likely asked. However, when Plagg talks, it's like a voice in your head!

If you’re new, hi! If you’re returning, welcome back!

Before getting invested in this AU, do keep in mind that Simply Miraculous is a Miraculous Ladybug Alternative Universe that takes place in Undergraduate University and explores the dark themes missing in the original show. Keep in mind that this comic will explore mature content and warnings will be indicated before each part :)

I don’t know why I love the idea of friends to enemies Chloe & Marinette but it’s just so good

Another Chloe trait that I thought up with is that she would attempt to sleep with another friend’s boyfriend/crush to see if he is loyal or not. She would literally seduce them, take photo evidence, and then show up the next day like:

“Yeah Marinette I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but Kim didn’t pass the vibe check. He’s for the streets. Way too easy to get him to drop his pants.”

“What?! You slept with my crush!? How could you?!”

“Me?? I just saved you from a cheating scumbag! You should be thanking me for saving you the time! You are worth so much more than that, Mari.”

It’s so ironic to think that Chloe engages in questionable behavior to try and be “nice” but fails epically, often getting a negative result from those she’s trying to help

Opposingly, her relationship with Adrien is protective. She thinks he is too naive and weak-willed to make good social decisions. She’s his scary dog privilege. Their relationship is complex because there are no romantic feelings involved. Chloe merely values him so much that until she can find someone worthy enough to be with him, she will occupy that spot to keep him happy. It’s her twisted way of people-pleasing those she cares about.

And it’s tragic. A girl who thinks about others and tries to help them but goes about it all wrong. She’s the perfect antihero. She’s perfectly human.

Idk why this turned into a half-asleep ramble but the point stands. Since starting this AU, I’ve started to love Chloe’s character.

Drawing his transformation in my AU got me analyzing his sequence poses and.. He’s so goofy tho

Technically, in my AU the transformation is very instantaneous, but like. Magical girl transformations are so fun, so it’s happening

[kaileedraws]

I kinda want to procrastinate the comic and draw the Chat Noir transformation sequence….. hmm

5/16 pages done!

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

>:)c

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

[penanatomy-studies]

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

[zheida]

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

Please have a look at these archaeological references

Welcome to the Digital Atlas of European Textile Heritage — The Digital Atlas developed by the EuroWeb research network documents a new vision of European history based on textiles: the vast material culture of textile production, trade, and consumption. Here you can explore the rich culture of more than 10.000 years of European textile heritage.

Update! The next pages are all colored, just have to shade and render! Spoiler alert, it’s an Adrien POV

I also figured out how gradient maps work and I’m stoked about them. Also playing around with texture brushes!!

Thought dump incoming

Being a nurse right now is kinda insane. Being in the emergency room is even more insane. Hospitals here have a law that they cannot turn anyone down for safety reasons and it’s making unsafe situations because there are simply too many people who need help. There isn’t enough of us and we can’t do the job we want to do. It leads to people being neglected and it makes me feel like a shit nurse. Some days, I’m lucky if I can just keep everyone alive and medicated. I don’t see patients for hours because I’m stuck with someone else who is trying to throw themselves on the floor, fight me, their bed is covered in feces, or all of the above. I wish I had a character to dump my trauma onto……..

Lowkey tho, but also high key, Adrien as an ER Paramedic (paramedics have basically the same role as nurses in the emergency rooms I’ve worked in). My favorite coworkers were Paramedics/EMTs in the ED

Also I’m going to definitely dump my trauma onto him (Adrien) in the role of an EMT/first responder having a lot of colleagues who had assumed that role. Unsure of how medicine works in Europe/France, so it’s going to be Americanized for sure (but accurate).

And the fun part? Based on true experiences I’ve either heard stories of or first hand experience!! :D

I think that’s why I’m so comfortable with gore in art. I’m so desensitized by it all at this point. The only thing that can really shock me is mangled corpses. Half of the people on this app would probably throw up if they saw the pressure ulcers I did wound care on the other day (imagine the smell of decaying flesh slipping off muscle and then shoving cloth into a tunneling wound about an inch and a half deep) Took me literally half an hour to dress and clean all of her wounds. I saw a woman when I was training who had an animal bite and the necrotizing fasciitis went to the bone (ended up being an amputation). I’ve seen joint replacement surgeries and open abdomens. After a while, it just is. It’s a human body. It’s weird how psychologically it gets to feel normal (still concerning and crazy sometimes, but still like “wow ok, that’s that. Anyway,). Anyways, come join me while I draw my trauma!! :D

Which of these have I not experienced and heard second hand?

Motorcycle + guard rail = arm amputation

Bloody vomit Code Blue

Scalp maggots

Alcohol withdrawal-induced seizure

Overdose rescue with narcan and the pt OD’d again 5 mins after discharge

Lethal heart rhythm on the monitor, patient is asymptomatic

Scalped in a car accident

There’s so much more it’s crazy. The answer may surprise you!! All of these are true stories too

[kaileedraws]

The answer is the first one! Here’s some brief context

1. Shift report. Motorcyclist vs guard rail on the highway. Ripped his arm off. Poor custodian was left to clean the blood-soaked trauma bay

2. My first code, I did compressions. It was sudden and unexpected, and they couldn’t find the source of the internal bleeding.

3. I picked dancing rice out of some poor person’s scalp with another nurse

4. EMS came in with a guy on a stretcher who withdrew too fast from an alcohol detox. They said he hadn’t seized the whole time, then proceeded to have a tonic-clonic seizure as we got him into a bed. He was ok after it subsided

5. The entire shift we narcan’d this guy. He wanted to go to rehab. He couldn’t find a ride. Somehow he went to the lobby upstairs and OD’d again, so day shift had to narcan him again

6. Cardiac floor in nursing school. Bolted into the room because patient’s heart rate looked like this= nnnnnnnn (this isn’t usually compatible with life) We locked eyes for a solid minute as he told me he didn’t feel anything. Hearts are weird

7. I saw this woman’s skull as we got her back from the OR. Laceration was huge and deep

One thing about healthcare is that I always have cool stories to tell and I learn something new every day! :D and you get to trauma bond with your colleagues, which is a plus.

I think I saw the most in the ER, it was wild down there. I was a trauma scribe a decent number of times too so I got to document on individuals from a scene/EMS. I hope this is enough to correctly paint first responders and EMS! (Plus research/documentaries)

[kaileedraws]

Just a pique of being bemused with my favorite ship and working it in wherever I can. In your AU I imagine Adrien and Sabrina hooked up at least once (opportunity, misunderstanding, commiseration, maybe or maybe not alcohol, you name it) and though its never going anywhere, it cemented them as friends/having each other's backs/mutual allies while dealing with their erstwhile friend/boss/girlfriend Chloé. There's a platonic connection there that doesn't shine compared to all the shipping, but is resilient like embers and survives the highs and lows of life.

She still puns with him when no one is watching.

Just me playing around in my head with a dynamic that hadn't been codified yet and I thought I would share.

Thanks for the ask!

Personally, I’m not an anti-shipper unless it’s pedophilia so I think this is an interesting idea! I have two potential avenues:

One:

In this AU, considering Adrien and Chloe take drugs/alcohol/etc and canonically black out and have orgies, it wouldn’t be out of the question for an accidental threesome, even. “Ah shit I think we accidentally slept with my assistant last night.”

Though drugs/alcohol seem uncharacteristic for Sabrina, perhaps she partakes just to fit in or she is drugged by Chloe/spiked punch. The latter seems more probable since she likes to maintain professionalism. Randomly sleeping around also seems against Sabrina’s moral code. She’s the “good girl,” always follows the rules like her daddy taught her to. Then she enters Chloe’s world and is sucked into the chaos.

I need a Boss!Chloe x Secretary!Sabrina fic I think.

I also think that Chloe is a closeted bisexual (as seen under the influence of drugs) but also super homophobic— believing in the nuclear family— thus denying this side of her, so that’s another fun dynamic to play with :)

Two:

Another alternative is that Adrien— only knowing about relationships through Chloe— thinks that hooking up with people is how to be friends/make them happy. Sabrina also does what other people want her to do to make them happy. Maybe they would hook up under that misunderstanding and both people-pleasing tendencies are revealed.

In conclusion, they really are two peas in a pod and insanely similar in their personalities. They would be good mutuals trauma dump buddies

The next headcanon I’m making is about Chloe and Adrien’s friendship

She feels like she needs to educate him about the dark side of being a celebrity, but she does it in the exact wrong way.

Normal people would show their friends it’s easy to drug them by dropping candy in their drinks. Chloe full on slips actual drugs in Adrien’s drinks and lets him deal with the consequences.

Kidnapping? She hires someone to kidnap him and then when he comes to, yells at him for being lured into a white van with the promise of seeing kittens. Absolutely ridiculous how easy it was!

I love the idea that Chloe means well but comes across in the worst possible ways. Most of which is to go to extreme lengths to prove a point.

Oh and here’s a sketch of a flashback in the next part, where upon meeting Plagg, Chloe’s antics are the first thing to come to mind as an explanation.

Chloe is literally so fun to write, I swear I don’t even write half of it, she just takes over

Headcanon alert

Max is pretty much Tony Stark in this AU but with a Miraculous

He creates the akuma alert system MARKOV that utilizes the STAR protocol around Paris. Still workshopping the acronyms :)

Turtle or fox Adrien's please

I didn’t forget about this! I promise! Because of recent Miraculous episodes, I’m getting some ideas. Not sure if a kwami swap will happen in this AU or not but it would be fun to design!
