La terreur AU aka Mrs lahiffe nexus of torment

Cat Man

Thanks so much for 1000 notes on the original post guys—I’ve never had so many people seeing and sharing my art before. Honestly it’s a little terrifying. But I’m so grateful! I’m glad you like my silly sketches. I feel like if Bat Man existed in the Ladybug universe, or something similarly edgy, that would be Chris’s favorite thing ever. He probably likes edgy stuff, and watches shows that are too grown up for him without understanding the nuance. I imagine him posing dramatically and stuff to try and look cool, saying edgy stuff to the villains like “You went bad because you tried to be good.” With absolutely no clue what that means. He’d just say it to sound cool. And before anyone says it, yes, I know he looks like a PJ mask.

And yeah, there are cooler names than Cat Man, but I wanted the name to be symbolic of Chris’s perception of himself—that he’s an adult rather than a kid. He probably thinks he’s way more mature than the other super kids. He’s not.

as a side note, I imagine him creating dark backstories for himself about his dead family or his grudge against his sister’s killer, or something equally silly. :)

Miraculous ladybug - the chained titans thoughts:

Oh hi Nino's parents. I see we're back in time

Something tells me these two's dreams are going to be crushed. Or we're going to cut ahead to the future where they now hate each other

Vita and Nordine huh. Interesting names

Pffft everyone tryna sneak around their houses

Nathalie 🤣😭 Madeleines... Naw those are sad looking. (Somehow I bet they still taste better than Gabriel's pancakes)

How did you get flour everywhere Nathalie???! Oh my God 🤣

Oof. The parallels of everyone having a good time with their families (and everyone had to go out on a mission in their pj's looks like) and Nino's parents are arguing. I'm sure not for the first time....

He looks so tired. Poor Nino

Honestly understandable. Nino putting his headphones on to block out his parents arguments. Sad but understandable

His parents look SO different (not surprising but still)

At least nino and his brother are getting along

Heh. Ninos moms glasses look kinda like turtle shells

Those plates are entirely too tiny to hold a single piece of toast. Or the bread is huge

Oh hey Vita has tattoos

Oh Chris....

Nino and his bubbles

Oh hi Alya

Pffft wayzz and trixx

Man now I want a strawberry smoothie

Nino don't lie. You don't like strawberry

You don't need to love the same things to be compatible

Oh my gosh the hamsters. It returns! The one thing you can count on miraculous for is the ever present theme of Adrien and Marinette owning a hamster 🤣

Oh no... Nino "every discussion looks and feels like an argument to me!" Yeah actually his behavior and thinking he needs to overcompensate by agreeing with Alya about everything makes sense now considering his home situation

I love Alya "us letting them manage on their own and not meddling in their business" 🤣 with that deadpan expression.

Nino do not live vicariously through your friends relationship!

"and like us, they'd never break up".... Oh that's foreshadowing isn't it 😬

Alya "uhhh how do I explain to Nino that we can't do this because Marinette IS ladybug and I can't tell him that"

Wait wait you can locate the others?? Too bad she can't locate nooroo

Oooo Alya is Not Happy 😂 "we thought / no YOU thought"

Same thing?? No Nino

Marinette's face 🤣

Also Alya's face

"very clever and very very wise person"

Nino 🤣 he's just insulting his best friend and his best friend's girlfriend in front of her 😭

Ooo someone's projecting hardcore. "We'll be a family - that loves each other and doesn't argue"

Marinette why're you doing this because Nino praised you. I know your under a lot of stress but come on

Alya "I've found out Nino is freaking out about his home life so yeah let him live vicariously through you and Adrien ok?"

At least Marinette is becoming self aware about her "moments"

Adrien is a better actor then Marinette

The mayor... Is still madam bustier I'm guessing

I'm digging the outfits for both Adrien and Marinette

Awww cute. It's like ladybug and chat noir but if they knew each other's identities. Getting a little sneak peak of that if it ever happens

Adrien kinda breakdancing on the turtle shell pfft

How did you not notice the giant ass titans roaming around ... Unless they just appeared

I see you Greek themes! Makes me wonder who Nemesis is going to be. Maybe Lila / Cerise? (We've seen Gabriel akumatize himself before sooo)

A literal ball and chain.... And also (kinda) like Sisyphus but they're walking away from each other but are unable to (instead of pushing up boulders). What a lovely visual metaphor

Ooof that could've killed them

What is that giant ass anchor 🤣

Someone tell these kids the akumas are specifically catered to their own issues

Hooray for divorce!

Thank you Alya! That's what I've been saying!

Oof. They are still not technically telling each other everything. I'm calling it now during nemesis or the episode before everyone's going to split into 2 teams a la the intro.

Yes and they should probably split up.

Good to see you two talked your way out of that one

Oof. Chats aware. It is a heavy burden... And Marinette is still the guardian. What happens if she loses her memories and someone (probably Alya) has to step in as ladybug and guardian. Would she be okay with putting that responsibility on Alya or someone else? Something to think about

Reaction to "The Chained Titans" (S6 E21)

We finally get to meet Nino’s parents, albeit as newlyweds. Perhaps this wedding was a bit rushed, considering Nordine and Vita already had a hatchling on the way? And it seems the realities of married life got in the way of all the dreams they had.

All the Core Four Miraculers have good, solid homelives. Or, at least Adrien does now. And Nino? (shakes head) At least there’s food on the table. Now we know why Nino’s always wearing those cans. The Lahiffes are so used to bickering with each other that they don’t even bother hiding it from Nino and Noël/Chris, who for once isn’t causing any trouble. At least the two of them get along, maybe making a point to do so because their parents don’t.

Remember “The Bubbler”, Nino’s first spotlight episode? Nino isn’t being abused like Adrien was, but considering his fractured homelife, it makes more sense why he took Gabriel’s mistreatment of Adrien so personally. Fortunately, Nino has Alya and her family in his life to model what healthy relationships look like. But he’s so determined to make this work, not to lose the good thing he’s found, that he avoids conflict and sometimes goes along to get along, even when it’s not what he wants. He’s lucky Alya is… well, Alya. If Nino got involved with a girl who was manipulative or bossy, he’d be in trouble.

The hamster! How long has it been since Adrien or Marinette talked hamsters? Of course, it’s a none-too-subtle metaphor for naming something else they might have in the future.

Marinette doesn’t have a monopoly on hare-brained schemes. The concept of Miraculer stand-ins isn’t entirely a bad idea—recall the deployment of Scarabella and Kitty Noire in Season 5; in fact, Scarabella’s actively referenced in the cut scene at the end. But that’s assuming the stand-ins aren’t… otherwise committed. By the way, anyone notice how quickly Marinette and Plagg both came up with names for the theoretical fusions? I can already hear a dozen iterations of Lady Rouge and Carapaw being scribbled into existence.

It’s cute how Nino gets all defensive about his buddies when he’s trying to sell Ladybug on the stand-in idea. But it’s not necessary: both Adrien and Marinette been targeted by supervillains and “rescued” enough times by LB and CN that Ladybug should be amply familiar with them.

Even if Alya didn’t know about Nino’s home situation, it wouldn’t be hard for her to figure out. Alya’s good at reading subtext, and bro is drowning in it.

TMW you realize people talk about you. At least she’s taking the Marinette-meter and Marinette-moments in stride. Theoretically this knowledge should incapacitate someone this self-conscious.

“Miracle Station” is a way catchier name than “Abandoned Subway Station of Solitude”. As playful as this scene is, the intrigue here is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Every human character but Nino is keeping a secret from someone else and somehow manages not to tip their hand.

For anyone who feels cheated about not getting transformation scenes for Renardette and Trionyx (and you should), at least we get a fresh new transformation for Carapace later.

There’s more to Alya’s power than thinking about whatever and whistling away on her flute. The Trixx—sorry, trick to Mirage is creating a clear, detailed image in the mind’s eye that resists glamour failure. Consider the scale of the illusions Rena Rouge has created in the past: colorful and noisy fairgrounds, images of herself and other people reciting detailed scripts. There’s way more heavy lifting involved with her power than throwing a yo-yo in the air or whapping up a force field, although some other Miraculer powers come close. There’s Genesis of course, but Voyage, Multitude, and Amokization require similar amounts of brainpower.

Adrien and Marinette convincingly portray brand-new superheroes trying out their powers, and maybe the experience reminded them a little bit of those easier earlier days. But whoops, looks like a Titan got past Wall Maria. Oh, there’s two of them, but you only get one guess who they used to be. Looks like this plan has suddenly gone to pot!

Old woman using walker in foreground: “Dammit, another akuma. I keep tellin’ my son and that wife of his that we oughta move down to Marseille with the rest of the family, get away from all this nonsense. But no one ever listens to me…”

Theoretically the Titans are only struggling against each other, but their tug-of-war is rippling destruction all over Paris, affecting people who aren’t even involved. Feel the metaphor coming down like concrete and rebar. Here’s another, quieter one for you: Renardette and Trionyx were able to protect people and prevent some of the damage, but they realized they couldn’t fix the problem as they were. They needed to bring in other more experienced people to take the lead.

“They’re the only ones who can escape their chains.” And the only way to do that was by unhooking each other, which is ultimately what Vita and Nordine had to do later…

…or did they? When Nino says, “they split up”, did he mean “they’re getting a divorce” or “they’re taking separate vacations”? Sure, Adrien’s reaction implies the former, but between this episode of the denouement of “Riginarazione”, I could do without the ambiguous statements about major life transitions.

Regardless, the important takeaway is that just because your parents' relationship or that of someone close to you falls apart doesn’t mean that love isn’t real and it can’t work. Granted, you need to make it work by talking out your disagreements respectfully and being honest with each other. (Insert obligatory reference to the Big Damn Secret here.)

Re the cut scene, Chat Noir doesn’t want to appoint a stand-in who can take over for him (never mind the past successes of Kitty Noire and Catwalker). The ominous sting in the BGM suggests this is a bad idea, so I’ll be watching to see how precisely this move backfires.
