Of Marry Madness

This blog started out as a Miraculous blog, now it’s just fandom. https://ko-fi.com/laarts

If you could go back in time and rewrite any of your fics, which one would you choose? And what would you do differently?

Oooo that is a good ask.

hmm honestly I would like go back and rewrite all of them, mainly because my skill have expand as a writer and just my general worldview.

Probably my ‘Eden Au’ and all those Alya salt I’ve written, mainly they were just in poor taste, would have been happy to have never written them.

For those I still like, I still like the Hades and Persephone au plus the haunted mansion aus.

So some miraculous angst idea

So for some reason my brain really want Plagg angst and him fighting against Ladybug and Tikki.

So idea is that in the multiverse things are starting to weight on Plagg, out of all the Kwami, his kittens (affectionate name for his user) don’t really get happy endings. They are killed, he’s taken away from them, he sees his bad luck ruin their life. Time and time again they never seemed to get a happy ending.

Something happens in one of the universe (likely a death) that causes Plagg to snap, breaking his cute Kwami form and taking his real god form. He decided he will take all his user to his realm, one of destruction and chaos but a place where he can keep them safe.

Because of this Plagg starts universe hopping and because most of his offsets have to see it too, agree to reform and capture down their users.

This results in one of his universe (Felix Culpa) universe jumping with the miraculous to try and get away from Plagg and figure out a way to take him down or get him to listen to reason.

He ends up in the current miraculous universe we know (aka canon)

—

I like to think that while a god Plagg can take many forms to fry the brain, he often choose forms of past users (ones he’s lost) or mythological cat based beings. Aka, two tail Neko, Sphinx etc etc.

The other difference is that all the Kwami are sort of like branches of the same god, so while having access to the same power they won’t all act the same, hense why Adrien’s Plagg doesn’t join the others cause, because he knows he would be acting like Gabriel and Adrien would hate him for it.

Miraculous lost idea

Mari ends up losing both of her parents during a break in at the bakery, losing her family her only hope is to stay in Paris with her grandpa right?

Her mother was long times friends with Amelie Graham de Vanily and because of the high business family her Mother and Amelia agree to set up a betrothal between their two kids, making Amelie her godmother and the one to take her in.

Marinette is now trying to make sense of her life, trying to control her sadness less she be akumatize and having to navigate her new environment is not helping her mental state at all.

Felix had not realizing his best childhood Mari was the Marinette that sent his cousin the love confession is not only trying to rebuild the relationship he once had with his friend. But also help her adjust to her new environment and hopefully win her affections, and what’s the best way to do that? We’ll treat her like a princess of course (and bring her the head of her enemies).

Adrien thought everything was somewhat going good, their were a lot of rough parts with Lila but now everyone happy right? After Marinette loses her family Adrien is trying to do everything in his power to look after her, sadly his cousin Felix seems to be playing keep away; thankfully that isn’t a problem for Chat Noir.

Sooo I’ve somewhat gotten back into miraculous ladybug (in a more hateful, I can do this better way). Might start with this au.

[merry-madness]

Question! Are there going to be a continuation for Haunted Mansion (with Felinette) or does it have to be continued from @symwinter by any chance? I'm curious on the next update on her side.

Hello, thank you for the ask.

Sadly I have no current plans to work on my Haunted Mansion au, I really fell out of love with Miraculous.

@symwinter has an amazing version of the au, plus their are many fics under the Haunted Mansion au on ao3.

Tell me, where did you come up with your Twisted Fairytale story, especially making the merpeople so dangerous?

Originally it was a lot of media coming out around the time Pirates of the Caribbean and Sirens were two.

I had started thinking about life under the sea and how mermaid fit if they were suppose to be the dangers of the sea like the show said. So that where the idea came from.

[merry-madness]

when are you going to resume the ml fics, any of them?

Probably not, I’ve been out of the ML fandom for a while.

However I’m not going to delete them cause I know some people like them.

If people wanna take the concept and write their own their free to do so

[merry-madness]

Well I wanna go back into writing, mostly my own work but also some miraculous salt fic

Any prompts or ideas?

Sometimes even the villains have standards

sky kids: I have faced the Eye of Eden, the calamity that took this people and killed it cold. I have faced it time and time again, a vicious cycle, and each outcome is no different. Death, rebirth, death, rebirth… And yet the world is no more healed than a raindrop fills the sea. Why must I die for the sins of a corrupted king I’d never met? This realization, this apotheosis at our first chance encounter: it’s no enlightenment, but a burden - an infinite pain - that I must shoulder until the end of days.

A year ago this month (approximately), I got hit with writing fever and typed something on my grocery list

Anyways, happy birthday (?) to my fanfic, my Dark Passion Play: Empire Moths

[oob-water]

Made my friend try Sky the other day

[🕯If you like this please reblog it!🕯]

[Image Description: Two filtered pictures with texts of two skykids implied to be one and the same. The first picture has a moth skykid standing over the ledge in Isle of Dawn overlooking butterflies flying over sunken boats afar, an upright ledge even further, and the sihouette of the bell tower even further at the horizon. The picture’s text reads “Every journey has its final day.” The second picture has a skykid dressed in a fancier cosmetic hunched over in the opening area of Eye of Eden. The picture’s text reads “Don’t rush”. End ID.]

Skykids Live Forever.

You know how skykids basically live forever? Even if they die, they are always reborn again and go to re-experience the same story again, collect the same winged lights, see the same places, try and save the same kingdom. Once you think about it, the life of a skykid kind of becomes a living nightmare. The spirits they rescue are forever stuck reliving the same memories. The elders they meet are forever performing the same motions in the lonely cutscenes. Even the land around them is forever resetting itself. Mantas and krill follow the same paths day after day. Dark plants always grow back.

Only the skykids change. They grow and witness the passing of seasons, they learn new emotes and gain new cosmetics, yet none of it is of avail in the face in the endless repetition of the rest of the world.

Don't you think they would grow numb to it all? Don't you think they would cease to feel altogether, forever repeating the pattern:

go to Eden, die, repeat.

And yet that's not what happens.

We persevere, even when it seems like nothing we do makes a difference, we keep going. We keep looking at the world of sky in awe and wonder. We keep exploring.

Even when we've seen the same Isle of Dawn, or Daylight Prairie, or any other realm countless times before, we see beauty. We see beauty in the ruins of what was once magnificent, and we make it something else. No longer the foundations of a great empire, it becomes the cradle of a new world, a world that is given life by us. The players.

Even though that wonder from the first life may long be lost, we still find beauty, even in the same scenery. Even when nothing we do seems to make a change, we still continue.

We persevere.

I think that's one of the best things about this game.

Was thinking about how we now know that the areas in sky that are deserts used to be fields and meadows, which lead to wondering why is Golden Wasteland called Golden Wasteland if it was originally fields?

Which then made me think, where did the realm names even come from?

Did the Skykids make them up? which explains the literal descriptions: Isle of Dawn is (to begin with) a place that looks like an island and the sky looks like dawn, Golden Wasteland is a ruined desert with gold statues, Valley of Triumph is a valley where you win etc

Or are they casual nicknames that the Ancestors had for them? Isle of Dawn is where they first arrived and therefore the “Dawn” of their society, Hidden Forest is a hard to reach forest with hidden factories and houses within it, Vault of Knowledge is a vault storing the knowledge of the kingdom. So, was Golden Wasteland a jab at the fact that it was an elaborate area of golden statues and massive factories, but no residents? It was a wasteland because no one lived in the place, it was just an empty shell churning out pollution and weapons surrounded in the golden markers of the Kings growing ego and paranoia? Or was it a name that only came about after the fighting there destroyed so much of the area? If so what was its original “nickname”? What were the real names of the realms?

And as a final point, whichever of these possibilities is true (if either are) its interesting that Eden has a more definite name rather than a description. If the Skykids named the realms, how did they know that this one was called Eden before? Were they told? By Lamed in the final cutscene? Did they always just subconsciously know, as a way of reinforcing their end goal?

Who decided on the name? King? His city at the peak of the kingdom, the highest point that the Ancestors reached both as a civilisation and physically (that then ended up being the location of their fall, from Kings perspective ironically adding to the symbolism). Or again, was it a sarcastic nickname by the Ancestors who saw the originally bright plans for the city devolve into the sprawling factory and darkstone experiment site that it is now?
