First sorry if my English is bad, I'm trying to learn more. Well, I gonna make an au (role swap, older!au and kwami swap, maybe some more), where Kagami is the ladybug holder, but I don't see Luka (Adrien's role) being her partner or love interest, because he's too old for both (17/18), and I love your work, so do you have some tips? I'm so undecided about who will be the cat holder, especially considering I don't plan of making a love square since Kagami won't fall in love as fast as in the series. (Not to mention that I never bought the idea of Feligami, so I'm going to make another couple, even it's a crack one).
Ivan, Nathaniel or even Felix can be the "new chat noir", but the last it's just an old idea that I don't wanna make true since they have an quickly romance and I can't believe in "first look love", and the second I can't see a romance to both sides (And Marc x Nathaniel or Chloe x Nathaniel it's some of my favorite ships), Ivan it's an incognite to me, I can see Kagami x Ivan (but I like Myvan), Marinette x Kagami it's an good choice too, but since Marinette will not be introduced to soon, probabily will not have too much time to desenvolve they romance. Kim, Max, Adrien and other male characters I have some ideas, some goods and others bad, for some character fans.
Thanks for reading this and sorry for writing too much
Don’t be sorry! Didheh for one I really appreciate that you like my work enough to ask for advice.
One big thing is that any cat and ladybug duo do not have to be romantic! If you want luka and Kagami you could have it be a older sibling/family dynamic with Kagami. When writing the idea that romance is not a necessity for a story to work is a very helpful tool. But if you want to add romance scenarios for civilian stuff can help, have Marinette tag along with Alya for her ladyblog stuff have. Maybe Marinette has a crush on kagamis hero persona and Kagami rescues her but doesn’t really know her. (Think like an admiration thing with some attraction, not love but like- a little crush)
There’s so many ways you can make stuff like this work, I tend to really focus in on character dynamics platonic or not and building off those characters. Lukas good if you want found family stuff, because he’s a nice contrast to her. He’s calm and has a kinda mom friend vibe while also living a life of freedom, while she’s also calm but in a different way, she’s not afraid to chase after what she wants and lives a very restricted life. Luka likes to wait she likes the chase. And Lukas thing with the heart soul can definitely help with Kagamis issues with self expression.
There’s also Ondine if you are looking for other Kagami ships as people headcanon they go to the same school (a sports private school a believe is the common interpretation) So she’s another option.
But all and all, the cat and ladybug dynamic can be platonic and that could be helpful in many ways plot wise, but if you want romance don’t be afraid to be creative with the citizen and hero dynamics that could come from it! I hope this helps! And I’m glad you appreciate my work^^
All my support, Maddy^^
