Set of sketches that were supposed be released with Uprising and The Will of the People back in november.
I'm back on my sadder/bleaker reverse-Paris mood. So I might be able to finally work on this pile of unfinished sketches.
Miraculous Reverse paris fic list after the cut...
I also feel inspired by the new outpour of darker or heavier themed works. Some for reference from the top of my head:
@revolutionary-thoy 's ML Paris Reverse AU * Look at this release enough said! I'm living for this project and the Project Reverse AU X. Where u can see feat. the big/evil sword.
@toxinellebug Extensively explained Alt world ruled by the Supreme . I'm always waiting for an update. a fav post of mine
Frisky69's To a World of Absolution was the first fic i read that explores the final moments of Shadybug and Clawnoir. *awestruck*
@dreamer-from-yuggoth @artemonh Blood on his hands reminds us that, even reformed, Claw Noir will have the memories of his evil past.
AelitaYoru's La Chute du Double Maléfique I'm still obsessed with the veins/disease effect of the miraculous. They better refer to it in S6
@aanabear2803 surprised me with this tiny ficlet You don't belong here
@tanzle 's Caring Fleabag don't let the cute title fool you. this is gritty, action packed and heavily emotional (complete work)
Purple_doom's Dead set against (ongoing)
@justmywritingstuff Speechless Changes AO3
... needs to go back and check a masterlist of Shadyclaw fics to reread my old favs.

For my fellow fibre arts witches, if you're starting to get the Annual Cold Weather Fidget, that driving urge to reach for hooks and needles and that big bin of spools and fabric lurking in your closet....
If you feel like Doing A Witchcraft, you can work some witchy into whatever you're making. Weaving, crocheting, knitting, nalbinding, stitching, embroidery, and knotwork can all carry magic and serve as a vehicle for creating spells, sigils, talismans, or enchanted wearables.
Am I saying you can put a spell into that pair of socks you're knitting? That scarf you've been working on? That pile of granny squares waiting to become a blanket? That cross-stitch piece you've been meaning to finish?
ABSOLUTELY.
There are even books on knot magic, witchy crochet and knitting patterns, and beautifully spooky cross-stitch and embroidery pieces. (And lots more downloadable patterns exist on etsy and fibre arts forums!) Perfect for chilling with your favorite hot beverage and current binge-watch while you keep your hands from getting bored.
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing,”
That’s one of the first things Miraculous ladybug has taught us. And I am done doing nothing.
In almost a month, According to the ministry of health in Gaza, 10.000 civillians have been killed in Gaza. 4000 of those are children.
Parents have been writing their childrens name on them so that they’ll be easier to identify if they get killed. This child’s hand reads ‘ladybug’ in Arabic.
Miraculous teaching kids the importance of consent. Even when their friends are pressuring them to go faster than Marinette feels comfortable or ready Adrien always puts the brakes on for her.
Draw or paint using your non-dominant hand to bring out your inner child
Create a mini oracle set out of bottlecaps or coins
Write odes to the tools, herbs, etc. that you use the most in your craft
Use only natural materials in a work of art- tea, coffee, dirt, plant parts, etc.
Decorate playing cards to act as talismans and keep in your pocket/wallet/bag (i.e. a money drawing card to keep in your wallet)
Bring your inner sacred space to life by drawing/painting/collaging/sculpting it
Use handmade images as offerings to spirits or deities; create personalized images of spirits or deities you're in contact with
Make a poppet of yourself and stuff it with petitions or pictograms of what you wish to embody
Create a powerful protection amulet to hang above the doorway of your home/sacred space. What does protection look like to you? Use materials that reflect the kind of protection that you're looking for.
Crochet or knit a blanket that is enchanted to bring good sleep, good dreams, or for inducing a hypnagogic state
The organelles of the cells have been translated into human anatomy, so the nucleus is the brain, the vacuole function as the lungs, and the mitochondria is the heart since it’s the… you already know, I don’t have to say it ;)
I never understand why in the intro, Marinette says "In the daytime, I'm Marinette." Like she's saying she's only Ladybug at night or something like that
That might be a nod/reference to Sailor Moon's intro, which had a similar misnomer:
"Fighting Evil by Moonlight,
Winning Love by Daylight".
Like, girl, you were doing both those things at all times of day, often at the same time, what are you on about lol.
You are correct that it’s a nod towards Sailor Moon’s DiC opening (The “Fighting Evil by Moonlight” Opening). Marinette’s name and hairstyle are also nods towards the character. One of the meanings of the name “Marinette” is “Little Sailor.” Usagi/Serena’s hairstyle is also pigtails.
Welp, time for the annual question of what episode is next
Once again I can't find a gif of the actual akuma, but that might be for the best. I'm already sorry for the unfortunate header I'm going to subject you all to.
I joked a few minutes ago about how in internet discourse anyone over 25 is a “queer elder” but come to think of it most of these young discoursers don’t even believe such a concept exists. Gay men who watched their entire friends groups perish to AIDS are “privileged cis gays,” older trans women who use dated terminology to describe their own experiences are problematic, elders are just a conservative old guard to rebel against, and anyone over thirty who speaks to you at all must be a predator. The first time I heard the phrase “okay groomer” online, it wasn’t coming from self identified conservatives but from tiktok teens reacting against leather at Pride. You guys are ignorant and uncultured and proud of it!
