2024-01-02: A little update for the new year! Kayo’s section is now complete, you can find it completely at the bottom.
I’ve had fun doing research on Alchemy to build up my AU’s lore, since I decided that my Miraculous set would have an origin based on alchemy instead of just using classic elements. I should have a post about my original Bad Guys (a group of Alchemists who want the Miraculous to do the world conquering thing) very soon.
---
So, I’ve been working on and off on this AU concept for a while, pushed it aside a few times and almost completely abandonned it, but the concept is just so anchored in my brain that I just keep going back to it and working out more and more details and ideas. No fanfics have been produced yet but I’m hoping a story might happen eventually.
I’ll be using this post to organize my ideas. I want to rework the Miraculous magic system a bit and develop the lore more. My Miraculous items have powers based on concepts like in the show, but I’ve also given each an associated natural element, because I’m lazy to come up with superpowers, and because the elements seemed to fit the Tracy brothers well.
I know that the TAG and Miraculous fandoms don’t overlap much, but I would love to hear your opinions on this.
If my ideas inspire you to write your own fic or do some art, you have my full permission to do so. Just don’t forget to send me a link so I can check them out! ^_^

Summary:
After the Zero-X tragedy, Colonel Casey has no choice but to shut down International Rescue for good. She simply cannot risk Jeff Tracy's sons suffering a similar fate as their father.
Five years have now passed and the Tracys have all returned to civilian lives and mundane jobs, moving on and slowly drifting away from each other. But helping people has always been the Tracy brothers' true calling. That’s why each are given by a mysterious Guardian a magical artifact called a Miraculous and told to use them for good.
But evil forces want to find the Miraculous and use them to control the world. To prevent this, the Tracys will have to unite and become the heroes they were always meant to be.
- Tornado: creates a funnel of wind that can blow away objects or slow down someone's fall. This attack will not work under water or in space, as there is no air to manipulate.
Stormhawk uses his agility, speed and an occasional boost from his wind control powers to perform incredible acrobatic stunts, swinging or gliding between buildings to reach the danger zone fast and assess the situation.
After a few misunderstandings and frictions with his new teammates, Stormhawk proved himself to be a competent leader, able to strategize and make split second decisions.
Kwami name: Zapp
Kwami personality: Zapp is a bossy little drill sergeant who wants to turn Scott into the greatest superhero ever, whether Scott likes it or not. He's impatient and pushy, seemingly more interested in his wielder's superhero exploits than their well-being.
- Super strength
- Vibration detection
- Limited earth manipulation
Attack:
- Tremor: Creates a shockwave that will shatter almost any kind of solid material. Works best against rock like materials like concrete, works the least against wood and other bendable matter. The complete effects of this attack are hard to predict.
Transformation: "Bronnz! Move Mountains!"
Info:
The Roc Miraculous grants its wielder incredible physical strength and the power to destroy any obstacle in their way, but the gentle Titan would be the last person who would want to use this power. He is fully aware of the damage his Miraculous could cause and only uses his full power as a last resort.
Titan might seem intimidating at first glance, but he’s a down-to-Earth (hehe) guy with a big heart who just wants to help people.
Kwami name: Bronnz
Kwami personality: Bronnz is shy and nerdy and fascinated by modern technology. He likes to take things apart to see how they work but is not very good at putting them back together.
Kwami Favorite Food: Brownies
-----
Nightwatch
Civilian name: John Tracy
Miraculous: Owl
Item: Ring
Concept: Perception
Element: Night/Darkness
Weapon: Telescope
What the owl Miraculous lacks in offensive capabilities, it makes up in stealth. Over the centuries, it was often used by spies but sometimes fell into the hands of criminals.
Nightwatch rarely engages in rescues, gathering information and guiding his teammates from the sidelines, while also trying to unravel the mystery of who chose them to wield the Miraculous and why.
Kwami name: Nyctti
Kwami personality: Nyctti can be an annoying know-it-all who always thinks she’s the smartest person in the room. Fortunately, John is more than smart enough to keep up with her and earn her respect. Nyctti also has a habit of falling asleep randomly during the day, since owls are nocturnal and all.
Previous wielders: Kororā (maori word for the Little penguin)
Abilities:
- Enhanced swimming ability
- Resistance to the cold
- Limited water manipulation
Attack:
- Frostbite: creates ice spikes or similar simple constructs of different sizes according to the user's will.
Transformation: "Tchill, High Tide!" / "Tchill, Low Tide."
Info:
It's hard to take a penguin theme superhero seriously but Antarctiking should not be underestimated. His water and ice powers can be the most versatile of the Miraculous, to be used in many offensive and defensive ways.
Laid back and cheerful, AntarctiKing can give the impression that he doesn't take being a superhero seriously, but nothing could be further from the truth. He will not hesitate to push himself to his limits to help someone in need.
Kwami name: Tchill
Kwami personality: Tchill is the go-with-the-flow type who never worries about anything. He also hates heat and likes to sleep in the freezer.
Kwami Favorite Food: Anchovies

Fireflash
Civilian name: Alan Tracy
Miraculous: Phoenix
Item: ear cuff
Concept: Combustion
Element: Fire
Weapon: Ax
Previous wielders: Fire Angel
Abilities:
- Fire Immunity
- Limited fire Manipulation
Note: Like the Ladybug Miraculous can counteract the Butterfly's powers, it is rumored that the Phoenix has a secret ability that can cancel the Owl's powers (Foreshadowing? Me? Of course not ;).
Attack:
-Blaze: this attack will surround the user's body with fire, turning them into a human torch. The flames can also be manipulated to propel the user in the air and fly for limited distances.
The Miraculous were never supposed to be used by children, but the guardian took the risk of giving one to the youngest Tracy brother. Had Jeff Tracy been still alive, the Miraculous would have gone to him instead.
Fire is the hardest element to control but Fireflash seems to have natural talent with it and an instinctive understanding of the magic of the Miraculous. He forms a deep bond with his Kwami.
Kwami name: Sparkk
Kwami personality: Sparkk is a little cinnamon roll, a real concentrated ray of sunshine who’s always there to cheer Alan up when he feels down. His Miraculous has unfortunately been involved in wars in the past and with each new wielder he is afraid of being used to cause harm.
Kwami Favorite Food: Snickerdoodle cookies

Black Swan
Civilian name: Tanusha “Kayo” Kyrano
Miraculous: Black Swan
Item: Brooch
Concept: Transmutation
Element: Prima Materia
Weapon: Whip
Previous wielders: Alchimia
Abilities:
- Boosting other Miraculous powers.
Attack:
-Swan Song: Allows to transmute one element into another.
Transformation: "Oodil, Join the dance!" / “Oodil, Take a bow.”
Info: The Black Swan Miraculous is an anomaly that should not exist. It was the result of an attempt to create the Philosopher’s Stone using the Elemental Miraculous. It has very little power by itself, but combined with the other Miraculous, it can grant almost limitless power to reshape the world.
Kayo was not given the Black Swan by the Guardian (her father Kyrano), but she could not stand by while her brothers were in danger. She took the Miraculous and uses it to help the heroes from the shadows, while trying to find whoever is behind the suspicious events and accidents happening around the city.
Kwami Name: Oodil
Kwami personality: Oodil appears to be mute, communicating mostly by body language. She has a calm and childlike personality in general, but will not hesitate to attack if her holder is threatened (careful, she bites). Kayo and her have been friends since Kayo’s childhood, when her father became the Miraculous Guardian.
Seriously thinking about Thunderbirds Are Go for the first time in a long time and the utter lack of any meaningful diversity whatsoever is just making me really sad :(
I'm not sure what you mean by that, the show always seemed to have a diverse cast to me. Sure, the main characters were five white guys, but Kayo, Brains and Colonel Casey are persons of color. Kayo is considered an equal to the Tracy boys with her own ship, Grandma is an important secondary character. Colonel Casey is a female version of a male character from the original series.
Among the rescues there's an equal amount of men and women. We see black and asian minor characters, and even see a young disabled girl using a hoverchair.
If you mean diversity in sexual orientation/LGBT inclusion, then yes, you can say the show is lacking. None of the main character's preferences are mentioned, except for Gordon's interest in Lady Penelope. If you look hard I guess the two astronauts in "SOS part 1" could be seen as a couple, but that's pretty much it from what I remember.
If you liked the owl house, amphibia, she ra, any sports anime ever, any magic school show ever, or even just animation in general, PLEASE go watch Dragon Striker at your earliest convenience!!!!
It's an absolutely outstanding show complete with stunning, jaw-dropping animation, layered and engaging characters, a fun and gripping story, and a wonderfully built out world.
The first episode is free on YouTube, so please go check it out! The only way we'll get more is if it gets support, so please watch legally if you can! High quality, original animation can be hard to come by, and especially with Disney steering away from serialized shows, Dragon Striker deserves all the support it can get!
That could be their next halloween costumes, if they can convince Virgil to be relish. John could be Mayonnaise (to go with his pale complexion ^_^) and Scott, well, he can be the hotdog.
Finally got the last Miraculous doll I wanted, Multimouse. I prefer Polymouse's designs (working on a cosplay of her right now), but let's be honest, no way was there going to be a doll with Polymouse's figure.
But why did they leave the other Miraculous on the packaging image? I know she uses them in the episode, but it just looks weird here. It's not like it's hard to erase them from the 3D model.
The Miraculous toy license now belongs to Jazware, so this doll line by Playmates is over. Too bad they didn't make more characters instead of 20 variations of Marinette, that girl has more outfits than Barbie.
I just received an email from my building management company which opens
On Monday, from 1:30 PM to 1:37 PM, several residents have volunteered to host a brief tutorial in the laundry room for anyone interested in learning more about proper use of the equipment.
That is a leviathan passing beneath the ice of my peaceful fishing hut if ever I saw one.
The passive-aggressive nature of declaring it will take only seven minutes, but precisely seven minutes, for people to actually learn how to use the laundry room is amazing (I'm figuring five minutes to present and two minutes for questions).
The sad thing is, I've lived here long enough to know this informative presentation is absolutely necessary.
Too many people in my building need to be told that you only need to put a cap of detergent in the washer tank, not pour half a gallon in the opening clearly labeled "bleach" (leaves a gross blue residue).
Can someone please recommend me fluffy Scott centric fics bc I’m reading “yesterdays promise” rn and it destroying me 😭(yk that rlly good 1,000,000) word fic
Scott is in such a dark place it’s HURTINGME bc everyone is in a REALLY bad place as well but they’re trying to help and the guilt complex’s…
Here's a few lighthearted fics, not always Scott-centric but fun:
