my bestie told me march 19th was when volpina first aired so i am legally obligated to run yet another lilanette week...

[lilanette]

I commissioned bsy1235422 for macaron chibis in the style of the this Japanese postcard!

This is part of my AU where Lila gets the Peacock Miraculous instead of the Butterfly.

My designs for Reverse!Lilanette, drawn by the wonderful vercilla!

While I get what they were going for, the whole emo aesthetic just felt a bit too on-the-nose, so I repurposed the skirt and striped socks design from Marietta instead. I did keep the thorn design from OG Reverse!Marinette's jacket, but I ended up adding it to Marinette's usual flower motif.

Redesigning Lila is always a bit of a challenge, mostly because I actually really like her original design and colour palette. In the end I went for an opposite colour palette for her, green instead of red, and dressed her down so she looked a bit more casual instead of "cool".

Lore rambles under the cut :D

Marinette's characterisation doesn't change much from canon, I like to headcanon that her family is a lot more successful (ofc, canon already states they're renowned in Paris, but in this case it's more akin to the Agreste family's success), and unlike for our Marinette, Tom and Sabine were not as loving of parents and think Marinette's fashion aspirations aren't worth pursuing, so she dresses a lot more boldly to defy their demands of a respectable daughter, especially after the Supreme chose her.

I think, in this AU, Marinette isn't very sociable and doesn't have any friends, though it's mostly through her own choice. Initially, Chloe isolated her, but after Marinette gained the Ladybug Miraculous, she fought back, and due to the Supreme's favour and connections, got away with it. As a result, people are mostly scared of crossing her, and she has a lot more arrogance than our Marinette, because she thinks the power she wields and her favour with the Supreme means she's above everyone else. She's initially very loyal to the Supreme for giving her power, magical and mundane, but will eventually realise the cost of abusing her Miraculous.

Lila in this world I think was already exposed for her lies before coming to Paris, so she's a lot more humble and just trying to stay on everyone's good side. I think she'd be a lot more like the fanon Lila people thought about during the S2 hiatus. She hides a lot of herself in order to be liked and avoid getting into trouble, but a part of her still wants attention and to be accepted, so she doesn't have much of her own opinions on anything.

Lila admires Marinette for being so fearless, and initially tries to cozy up to her in order to win her over as a friend. Marinette isn't having any of this though, but eventually recognises the facade Lila is putting on in order to be liked and feels a tiny bit of kinship for someone who's also putting on a front, and that eventually spirals into something bigger.

I'm still working out exactly how Toxinelle and Griffe Noire operate in their world, so I haven't thought too much about the identity dynamics at play here. I do see Lila eventually joining the Resistance though. Maybe I could make a kamikotised design for her.

[lilanette]

I also commissioned azaamond to draw Marinette and Lila! I really wanted to see Marinette in her old concept colours and design, and I think it worked out!

[lilanette]

Et voilà! Here is the Lila to go with Ladyfly!Marinette, again drawn by u66gy. I don't normally stick with the same design rhetoric as canon, but since I was using Ladyfly's design, I figured it would be better for Peacock!Lila to match.

(Yes, this is basically a Volpina recolour, but in my defence, the sash as a tail was too good to pass up)

I wanted Lila to have a blue-ish theme as a civilian to better match her new Peacock colours, so I gave her a denim jacket instead :D

[lilanette]

I commissioned u66gy again for Marinette's design in a Lilanette AU!

In this AU, Lila gets away with the Peacock Miraculous instead of the Butterfly, leading Marinette to become Ladyfly again to combat her.

I'll be commissioning Peacock!Lila just as soon as I finish designing her... (I'd like her to look different to the Peacock!Lila in the AU where she and Butterfly!Marinette are both villains together.)

[lilanette]

I commissioned u66gy to draw PV Lilanette!

[wooawi]

Lila: I’ll just woo Marinette. I think it’ll be funny.

Narrator: It did not remain a joke for much longer.
