I wish TMNT 2012 did Timothy better,,, (not as in doing his character better I love him but canons treatment of him is. Sad) like I wish we could see him come back as a long term character. not necessarily as a fighting team member but just a friend for Donatello yknow
its a shame everyone is ignoring Kuro Neko so much, I get its a really shocking episode especcially for us into fanon content but it should be acknowledged. especially since it's so important to the show since this confirms lovesquare *likely* won't be happening, and revealing Marinette's future son with Kagami seems like it'll create a really new turn of events for the series. twist like this were bound to happen eventually and we may as well welcome them yknow
^On the bus, anything, anywhere, just a little any time you can.
Read well! If you didn’t understand a passage, reread it until you understand. Speed doesn’t matter, just take your time to get it.
Question vocabulary!
^Review words you already know unless you’re sure.
^Question how the word was made and learn the origin. Learning the origin of certain sounds in words may be helpful for understanding more vocabulary.
Take notes on what you read.
^Just little notes on what happened in a chapter are good. They’ll help you review later.
^ Explain the passage some way. Maybe a summary, notes, or to another person, but anything helps.
Practice writing yourself! There’s a lot of ways to do this.
^Time yourself.
^Re-write a conversation or something that happened. If you don;t know how, google how to do what you need!
^Describe something around you or an image or scene in your mind.
^Write something based on a friend or someone you saw!
^Make sure it looks okay! If you’re passage looks like a big text blob, remember to cut it up more. Anytime something changes (New Person, New Place, New Thing is a good time to, and whenever someone speaks is the best time to)
Read what you write out loud, or re-read it at least. Once thereafter. and maybe another day when you’ve forgotten what you wrote (it may seem different then)
Get apps to help! I personally prefer poet assistant!
ideally gonna try a scarlet hollow hardmode save file in 2 ways:
1, "alcor" trying to get the lowest relationship with every character and try to as safely as possible become hated (VERY hard line with tabitha to find there). While also having the highest perception as possible of everything possible on my own. If everyone dies may as well accept the fate.
2. "mizar" trying to get the best bonds I can with every character and become as loved as possible. While also trying to contribute the least to finding out what's going on and having everyone else do everything for me (like not reading the books). Generally going to be a struggle lmao
So uh about to post art for it so I figure I should post about it for the main long-term plot differences and premise difference. The main difference is instead of Master Fu only losing two miraculous, he loses all of them EXCEPT the ladybug, cat, and turtle. The main goal isn’t just to defeat hawkmoth, but to find and get all of the miraculous back to Master Fu as asked.
Overall premise differences:
Marinette's characterization is a bit different here, she's generally much more reclusive and only talks to Alya, and even then they're not the closest. She's only really close with family. She's more intensely bullied by Chloe.
Both of them were tested and chosen by their kwamis, not really master Fu, who's going to be a bit more of a mess in this au (he never got proper training afterall)
Both Chat Noir and Ladybug have contact with Master Fu fairly early on and equally
The miraculous cure has a time limit. It can only fix things for a few hours after the damage is done. (Chat Blanc's timeline chaos, for example, could never be fixed in any shape or form by the miracle cure.)
There's a secret society and research hidden from the public on the miraculous
As a result they do have to fight other miraculous holders every now and then, mainly in S1 (like the bee, the snake, and pig miraculous)
Not all of this is villainy, it's sometimes people trying to be heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir try to teach others that not everyone should, or can be a hero though.
The Agreste family and Graham de Vanily family are all villains here working together
Emilie (Still kinda dead here) and Amelie have heavy involvement in the secret groups researching miraculous
Same miraculous for Nathalie and Gabriel, Amelie gets the mouse
A LOT of Amelie manipulating Gabriel
unfortunately going with sentimonster adrien in this au (which is the reason he's excluded from his family's villainy)
This is already a lot, the other big details are eventual fox holder Felix and eventual butterfly holder Emelie. Gonna put it under read more since it's already a long post, but here's the rest of main differences that happen.
Warning this gets long rip
This is pretty much a S2 Rundown:
Amelie using the mouse miraculous to spy on ladybug and chat noir (it's easy when you're small and everywhere to use it to spy)
Lila in S2 has the real fox miraculous, and in the fight against ladybug, she loses for Hawkmoth to come in and get it at the end (his first physical public appearance)
He then gives Felix the fox miraculous
Felix pretty much becomes a phantom thief with it called the Phantom Fox as a result lol. He steals jewelry across Paris (a chance to get the missing miraculous, and also enjoy a fun hobby of his)
Honestly he's just out here to waste so much of Ladybug and Chat Noir's time because it's fun for him (really big stunts of stealing stuff and just being a public bother, but Master Fu has emphasis that someone with a miraculous has to stop him lol)
Adrien's family is all together a lot but exclude him constantly despite a lot of episodes being him trying to impress them
Felix almost gets caught and revealed. Gabriel realizes how if he's caught there could be an investigation, and even worse, he could be mistaken for Adrien even if the miraculous is only taken for a minute.
I hate to make it edgy (this goes in with a later plot point though) but as a result Gabriel harms Felix pretty badly. Still personally debating what kind of injury or the specifics, but to the point where he has some facial injury to not be mistaken as Adrien, and for Felix to not be as casual when using the fox miraculous. After that, he stops making public appearances too (Adrien is told he went back to London for study-related reasons) and is slightly mute at times. Gabriel lies to Emilie that it was Ladybug and Chat Noir's doing to Emilie, causing her to start having actual resentment to them.
I know canon is going otherwise lately but Gabriel is fairly unaware about miraculous research and the potential of it. His goal is just to sacrifice Adrien for Emilie to come back to life, nothing bigger
He starts actually using Mayura and Amelie offensively in what would be S3. Happens pretty similarly to canon honestly with how Mayura is used, except for the main climax:
Gabriel does win one day
During this Gabriel, Marinette and Adrien all get to know each others identities (no one else)
They lost outside of the mansion but he takes Adrien back for his weird sacrifice thing and so that he can see Emilie the second she awakens
Even though wearing multiple miraculous is supposed to be hard in canon Hawkmoth wears all four lol, so in this au he's only able to wear two at once without hurting himself. So once in the mansion he's not wearing the butterfly and peacock
This clown gives them to Nathalie to hold onto
Gabriel dies instead of Adrien (woo!)
Because Adrien's right there he's able to take back the ladybug and cat miraculous
For clarification no Emilie doesn't notice she's out here dealing with way too much after being resurrected and having her husband die for her (and almost kill their sentimonster son )
Society is aware of their failure, the Agreste family is looked into, and they weren't able to miraculous cure the casualties or destruction away this time
It's not exactly. hard to steal from a sick woman. so Felix steals the butterfly and peacock miraculous
So it's generally a really big loss for Adrien and Marinette. They know each other's identities which is nice sure sure, but due to the major loss, disappointment in them from society, and the hurt Adrien feels a lot of the time spent is in somber comfort of each other instead. They're not sure what's going to happen next, so they keep their identities secret from society. They just have each other now.
Everything after is, well. even more different from canon because I went feral. Basically S4:
Ya'll know how I mentioned Marinette is a lot more reclusive? She's still bright as ladybug, but this effects that too. She really refused any interviews or explanations on herself or miraculous in the past, and now that really screws them over. A lot of distrust from society because they have no statements from her to know what's going on.
Amelie is so glad Gabriel died lmao, fake mourning for Emilie's sake though
Emilie created Adrien to just be her child, but not a full person. The fact he's in school, has a free will, and a life outside of her? Kind of kills her. She doesn't know how to interact with him really.
She falls into a similarly reclusive state to Gabriel when it comes to him with a bit more awkward-try-hard parent moments. She was ready to *own* a child not be an actual parent lol
Amelie gives Emelie the butterfly miraculous, and keeps the peacock for herself.
Because of the evidence of harm on Felix, during the investigation of the family they realize he has the fox but the family is able to plea that he was forced against his will and traumatized from it. (Amelie might be faking this, but doesn't know how true it is)
This is all just set up in episode 1 and the feelings happening throughout the season. Actual Stuff that happens though?
Emilie and Amelie make a plan to "adjust" the world they're in. Neither of them like how things have ended up for their sons, Emilie has been dead for a while and is bad at adjusting herself to the changes around her, so they may as well.
They just need for Emilie to play the hero and Amelie to play the villain to do that.
Nathalie isn't arrested, but is suspected so this is a pretty good pass for Amelie to use the peacock as long as she's hidden while using it. She makes sentimonsters that terrorize Paris.
Emilie meanwhile uses the power of the butterfly to become the supposedly-hero "The Monarch", who gives civilians the power to become heroes based on their passions or drive to defeat sentimonsters.
The Monarch just straight up contacts and makes a ton of interviews on the news. Explaining the miraculous, saying she's a member from the society researching miraculous who Felix gave the miraculous to (and why secret identities are important but she'll reveal that much), and bringing all that jazz that to light.
In contrast to LB and CN, she keeps saying how anyone can, and should be a hero.
Sooooo much passive aggressive shade on LB and CN during these lmao
A lot of her discussion about them is how they're just kids, "not trained or prepared", how she's the one not sure how they got the miraculous which is suspicious of them, with a lot of fake sympathy towards them too. (Mainly being it's not their fault, with her stating they were bound to fail eventually given how they are)
She does actually reach out to the folk she makes heroes to train and discuss things with them. A lot of it is honestly lowkey manipulating and trying to be a parental/role figure towards them while using them though
She especially reaches out to people who've tried to be heroes before and have some issues.
Like Chloe, reasoning LB and CN were wrong, how she's wrongly judged by society, how she deserves better and another chance, trying to be the kind figure Audrey isn't, etc.
The heroes don't always come after LB and CN. It's just The Monarch tells them to exclude them at best because they can't be trusted, and sometimes they *happen* to try and capture them because hey, maybe that'll impress The Monarch. And she doesn't really stop them from doing that lol
Felix is now using the fox miraculous pretty much 24/7. The police revealed the Phantom Fox was him and some info about what happened to him anyway (Not that Marinette trust that)
It's true the group of heroes The Monarch makes start off good but it starts to become an extreme "justice" group that'll get more intense over time, punishing whoever they see fit.
This ended up being so. So overly long so I'm gonna end it here since I have art and some more writing to show for the rest of it, but yeah. Just a big list of stuff about my au/rewrite, sorry it's kind of a mess but I'm having way too much fun with it.
I know I should probably post some more content of my miraculous au since folk are still liking it now and then but. my brain is just Chloe Bourgeois right now
