Miraculous Rewrite

Hey all this is an account for a fanfic that'll be rewriting Miraculous!

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

Hey, this is an for my fic Miracles Aren't All They're Cracked Up To Be, which is going to be a rewrite of the Miraculous series. Starting off with of course Origins, as the series goes along it will diverge further and further from Canon.

Couple of notes: though I start of with the love square, I will not necessarily end with them together. That'll depend on how the story flows. Chloe is going to genuinely be developed, along with other characters, like Alya is going to have a much more prominent role. I've also aged the characters up, because I thought 14 felt a little too young. I'm also not French, so if I get aspects of the culture wrong please tell me, and I'll fix it.

Chapters are currently being written as less than one episode, but if you want me to change that let me know. Anyways, here's the fic, hope people read it

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

When is the next chapter?

Oh wow, Tumblr just sent me this notification now. So sorry for the late reply.

Anyways, I got busy with exams, sports and more class, etc etc etc. All excuses really, but hey, life's freed up for me, and I just need to work out a couple extra kinks with it. I'd expect maybe Wednesday tbh.

Thank you for the interest!

Older Lukanette cuddles for the soul

I swear I’m still drawing, im just working n stuff. I’m indulging in art with these precious lil beans💙

Been moving on to some traditional then coloring on procreate!

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

Ok, but how do people feel about platonic soul mate adrienette/ladynoir/marichat/ladrien? Because idk, wouldn't it be cool if they start off attracted to each other, but learn that they are the most important person in each other's life, but not in the way they thought they were initially?

Look, I just think it's cool

I finally had time to draw something again! Enjoy this little chibi I made 😁 .

Tap/click for better quality.

Is it really worth it...?

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

It's not worth it Marinette, don't do it!

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

Controversial opinion maybe...

I don't like sentimonsters being actual living thinking beings with their own soul. Nor do I like sentimonster!Adrien. The implications are much too dark for the show level, and it means that they've been killing real people everytime they've bested a human sentimonster. And that hasn't been given the weight it deserves.

Either commit, which I know they can't, or don't make them sentient beings.

I prefer them as puppets.

[justaninterestingroach-deactiva]

I would think the difference would be more like robots. Like imagine if a robot could over time develop a personality and emotions. So initially a sentimonster wouldnt really be much of anything but what you programed it to be, but give time to learn and grow they could become an actual person. Thats my take on it atleast.

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

I don't hate that take tbh. I think it's the best one that fits with Canon at least

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

My first time reaching 1000 notes on any Tumblr post I've ever had is gonna be the sentimonster one....

I've had Tumblr for years now, this is a sidelong I created less than a week ago I really don't know how to feel about this. Lol

FINALLY I’VE FOUND SOMEONE WHO THINKS LIKE ME, THANK YOU

[wolfhowls]

Agree. It makes the mood too dark. Good idea badly used.

[felixdoriga]

Lol we didn't even reach the twist how can it be badly used?

[wolfhowls]

Whole senti being thing is a poor plot twist

[felixdoriga]

What makes you said that? It was obviously planned from the beginning, so not only it makes sense but also goes along perfectly with Adrien's character arc.

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

A twist being planned from the beginning doesn't make it good. The set up, the implications, the reasoning etc etc. Those are all important too.

You could argue for set up sure, but it's iffy, the implications are much too dark for what I feel the show is willing to handle, the why is something we haven't seen, but considering the show it will likely be flimsy, though I can wait and see.

But overall if they reveal that, how is gonna be handled? An episode, maybe a two parter? And then back to normal? Cause that's not a good job. That's not enough.

[felixdoriga]

Oh so your issues with this twist are things that haven't occured yet. My point with the fact that it was planned beforehand is that this whole arc has been thought out. They aren't jumping in the sharks here. Adrien being a senti is an integral part of the whole show so we can at least expect that they know what they're going with it instead of already thinking they will mess it up.

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

It's not just that, the moral implications are there too, but also like, how is that integral to the show. Tell me exactly what is gained by this that makes the rest of the show click? Like integral implies that without this plot point the show doesn't work, but that is BLATANTLY untrue. So tell me, what exactly is gained?

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

They look so good! They are so good together

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

Ok, so I know it's hard to get a following, so this is gonna be a challenge, BUT, I think if I post enough and reblog I can do it.

If only I could draw this would fare better. Lol

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

The irony of me saying this and then having literally my next post be the most popular post I've had on any account. And like, I know that doesn't equate to getting a following, but it's still funny to me.

[chronicallylatetotheparty]

This is starting to bug me, well, bug me more but Adrien confronting Gabriel does absolutely nothing.

There's this weird implication that all Adrien has to do is stand up to Gabriel and I can't stress enough how that's probably already happened. Adrien's fear of Gabriel is a learned behavior.

So when did he learn it?

Adrien's first Canonical act is running away to go to school. Nathalie's dialogue that first day implying that Gabriel has already forbidden Adrien from attending. Which means Adrien told him about his desire for normal schooling and Gabriel shut it down.

When Adrien expresses worry for Gabriel's safety in Simon Says he gets scolded for "being too emotional."

In the Collector, Gabriel disproportionately punishes Adrien and outright lies to him. Reinforcing Adrien's very accurate belief that he can't say or do anything that would make Gabriel angry without severe repercussions.

Adrien publicly joining the protesters during the mayor's publicity stunt in Mega Leech was treated like he specifically went against Gabriel's orders.

And that's only some of the big things we've seen out of what's shown onscreen. To say nothing about both reset timelines.

Adrien has pushed back against his Father's inflexible disposition over and over and over again. In big ways and small. And every time Gabriel meets his son's "rebellion" with guilt tripping and derision.

Adrien doesn't confront his father because he's scared, yes. But Adrien is scared because he knows what happened the last time.

[miraclesarentthatgreat]

Honestly! Gabriel is abusive and controlling, not just a strict parent. Like I get his friends trying to help, but I wish the shows narrative didn't paint it as if that's what he needs to do. As if he hasn't tried that. As if anything Adrien does could help him with Gabriel. We've seen how much Gabriel is willing to do, we know how little he actually cares about Adrien, so then why does the show like to pretend that if Adrien talked to him things could change? They wouldn't. We all know it.
