_____________________
Thought it was fair to update Season 1's cover... and give this blog an actual master post, cause searching things through it was a MESS>
Either way, before that, time for a F.A.Q.
Q: What is this AU about?
A: It's a next-generation AU after a bad ending of the original miraculous story. All of canon's Marinette mistakes blew up on her face. She lost Adrien, didn't defeat Chrysalis, and is dead.
______________
Q: Who is Henri's dad?
A: It's Lance Smith, who is a part of the massive classverse created by @booksrbetterthanpeople , @msweebyness , @nerdy-chocomallow, and @imsparky2002 , and then I, @natedogx15 , @fayflutter, and others joined the trend. You can learn more about him in the main blog @thefcguy
_________________
Q: How is Henri like?
A: He is very depressed, tbh. He acts sarcastic, bitter, grumpy, and a bit cynical, but ot's only because of how harsh life has been with him.
__________________
Q: Has he met any of Marinette's friends?
A: Some of them. However, he never met his father in person because his father is on a mission off the planet.
__________________
Q: When does the story start?
A: At his 14th birthday, when he ends up finding the miracle box, awakening the kwamis, and bringing Chrysalis back.
____________________
Q: What's the tone of the story?
A: A pretty somber one. Henri is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. But the message of the story is about hope and not giving up on life, no matter how bad things seem.
____________________
Q: Why is Henri's classmates Danganronpa THH characters?
A: Because I became obsessed with Danganronpa this year and thought the characters could be very well explored. A lot of Danganronpa elements will start to show up on the story.
_____________________
Q: How many seasons are planned?
A: At least, three.
______________________
Q: Is everything that happened in Miraculous canon here?
A: For the most part, yes. Marinette, Adrien, and Felix are as questionable here as they are in canon, and Chloe didn't get a redemption. There are some changes and additions, like Marinette finding out that Sentimonsters aren't killed when the peacock holder snaps their fingers, but sent to another dimension, which can now be accessed by a book that becomes a secondary weapon of the peacock miraculous (inspired by the Legendarium from the Winx)
Another plot for later in the story I’m considering is bring back Su-Han and the Order (aka the original guardians of the Miraculous Box). But not as an ally, as an antagonist.
When the reemergence of Ladybug Miraculous is brought to the attention of the Order, they send one of their brightest young discipline to scout and report on the situation. She (I haven’t given her a name yet) was raised to wield a miraculous, particularly the Ladybug Miraculous.
So when she comes to Paris and sees the new holder in and out of the mask, she is enraged by Elodie. How could someone so meek and weak be the Ladybug holder? Or even wield a miraculous?!
This rage boils inside her until it turns her into an akuma. At first, she looks like a Ladybug then an Antibug like Chloe, then as she becomes more and more unstable, her forms transforms into a monster.
When the akuma is purifed, she goes back to the Order in shame and humiliation, vowing to make Ruby Bug pay one day...

Move over, Queen Bee and Vesperia, there is a new and cooler bee in Town!
I present you all Shiny Sting, Harmony when she uses the bee miraculous. The design was inspired by Rainbow Quartz 1.0 cause I thought that the 80s vibes would be fun.
And I will say to you all… the new bee Mirauclous design is very complex to draw XD
Either way, next time, I will be presenting you all to Spring Shell… aka, Turtle!Clover.

Miraculous Next Spots: Miraculous Awakening: Part 2: Star Talent
Summary: Henri wakes up to discover that his attempts to ignore what happened on the previous day were flawed. A sad singer has been turned into a villainess, and he will be forced to act.
The first four additions to the Trigger Happy Havoc Cast!
In my rewrite, Hope’s Peak had so many new Ultimates in that specific year that they split their class into two: class 78 and 79.
It doesn’t matter a whole lot in the end, cause they are all in the same game.
This four are just some of the students of class 79… there are still 6.
Henri shares the role of protagonist with Makoto.
These characters are also part of my miraculous AU p, @miraculous-thenextspots , but it’ tricky cause not all that is canon there is canon here and vice-versa.
Since you seem interested in my Haunted Class AU, I wanted to share this next-gen project I am working on, where the Haunted Class makes a cameo from time to time.
It handles some heavy topics (like depression) but I think it's interesting.
Red Wraith: So how many people have tried to kill you?
Ladybug: None?
Red Wraith: Good.
I’ve explored ReVerse Elodie/Crimson Dame in the past, so I thought I’d update her for the Redux. Elodie in the ReVerse is apart of the resistance and the current holder of the Ladybug Miraculous. Unlike OG Elodie, who ‘s only had it for a few months, she’s had it for several years. This has created a target on her back, especially with the ReVerse black cat holder tasked with hunting her down. This makes her an extremely distrustful and paranoid person. While Re-Elodie is more skilled with the miraculous, she doesn’t have a life outside of the miraculous or the resistance. Re-Elodie wasn’t adopted, she lived off the streets, and joined the resistance at a young age. To her, the resistance is her family.
Meanwhile, Og Elodie is still learning the ropes, has no idea how to talk to akuma victims (she’s not trained to be a therapist), and doesn’t have a team behind her. She also is having identity issues, but we’re not diving into that right now.

Okay, so, behind the curtains, I have been working on some rewrites for Next Spots and the main difference is Henri’s new dad. I am still deciding the plot and some minor changes but what I can say is: Henri suffers.
Dusk Spots is his outfit for season 2.
