ok so. ladybug!luka and blackcat!kagami au. but also adrien gets the dog miraculous and marinette gets the mouse AHHHHHH
guys guys guys guys the DYNAMICS ARE SO.
i also have zero names other than multimouse so feel free to give me some BLINK BLINK BLINK
ougghh. kagami giving adrien the dog because she doesnt really know anyone else and he is ECSTATIC. and kagami like almost immediately regrets it and luka giving the mouse because he trusts her and wants her to realize that shes strong
kagami wants to kill everything on sight and luka is like "bro. chill. i got this" out of costume they know eachother and are trying so desperately to figure out who "hawkmoth" (its tomoe) is and then they bring any info they find out to each other and then also in costume and both just. cant. seem to figure out their identities LMAO
oh gosh this dynamic i love because. well adrien has different lore. he doesnt go to school but ends up at the bakery alot and gets to be besties with marinette, and marinette is still definitely kinda shy due to mever getting that ladybug confidence, adrien IMMEDIATELY peices together she's multimouse and just quickly tells her that its him its so funny
SDFGHJKSJFCTYUSGJ I absolutely LOVE your kwami swap designs!!! all of them, even older ones! I was wondering if you had any other kwami swap ideas or designs, maybe ones that you haven't posted before? if not that's okay, I was just wondering, cause they're a m a z i n g
Here’s a bunch that I showed my Patrons about 6 months ago ~ <3
This includes my original sketch of Serpentine, but also includes Dragon!Marinette (Dragonfly), Dog!Adrien (Gold Chien) and Monkey!Adrien (Tamarin)
Some for the poor ladies who haven’t had their shot yet...and Snake!Alix because we deserve her dammit! I will note that this was before Kwami Buster so I thought the Goat/Ram Miraculous was also a set of earrings but I wasn’t sure, so I was switching up their position. Pig!Rose (Miss Piggy), Tiger!Juleka (Tigresse), Ram!Sabrina (Chevron), Snake!Alix (Diamonback), Dog!Mylene (Puli Puli), and Rabbit!Rose (BunBun)
And then some rethinking of the Main 5 with Zodiacs! Goat/Ram Alya is my straight up favorite I’ve ever done ever. Ram!Alya (Chevre Tachetee), Snake!Nino (Mamba, possibly Black Mamba but that might be too on the nose), Ox!Nino (Baza), Tiger!Alya (Tig Orange), and Rooster!Chloe (Alsacienne).
The words sounded beautiful to Marinette. Choirs of angels had begun singing in the background of her brain as she gaped at the elderly man before her in shock. She may have even actually teared up a little in a combination of joy and relief. Master Fu seemed oblivious to all of this, too wrapped up in his own thoughts to give the now giddy girl his full attention.
“I’m not comfortable with the idea of having more miraculouses out and about, but the situation is too dire. Since Scarab has the Ladybug Miraculous and his partner Psyche is abusing the Butterfly, it leaves us at an incredible disadvantage. Especially as I cannot join you in battle as often as I’d like,” here, Fu gave a heavy sigh that seemed to originate from his toes, “you have proven to be a remarkable hero, Marinette. Incredibly clever and adaptive. But I’m worried that the longer the fight drags on, the more dangerous our enemy will become. And I don’t like the thought of leaving you alone in their line of fire.”
“I definitely wouldn’t turn my nose up to a little extra help,” Marinette admitted, biting her lip, “trying to do all of this by myself is really stressful sometimes.”
“I can certainly appreciate that. And you did an excellent job of securing both the dog and the rooster miraculouses and returning them to me before Scarab could claim them for himself and abuse their powers as well,” Fu said, giving her a warm look of appreciation that had Marinette smiling back. That battle had not been an easy one, since a lot of her classmates had gotten caught in the middle of the fight, so she had to both keep Scarab from finding the mystical artifacts he was after AND protect her friends at the same time.
She was still a little amazed that she had made it out of the fight in one piece, honestly. If it hadn’t been for Adrien jumping in at the last minute and carrying her to safety, she probably wouldn’t have managed at all. She hadn’t been happy about it at the time, nearly blinded by the panic that the model was recklessly endangering himself, without the protection the magic suit gave her. Thankfully, Scarab seemed to have been taken by surprise by Adrien’s sudden appearance and didn’t attack, so everything turned out okay in the end. Still, Multimouse had spent about twenty minutes chewing the blond out before his sad eyes made her cave and she thanks him, but asked him to leave the heroics to the heros from that point on.
And hopefully, getting more heroes involved in the fight would mean that Adrien would stay safe, far, FAR away from the danger where he could potentially give Marinette yet another heart attack.
“So you’re going to find new heroes for the rooster and the dog, then?” Marinette asked eagerly. Fu gave a small frown at the question.
“Just one for now, I think. Throwing two inexperienced heroes into the mix at the same time could make things more difficult rather than easier. Once the first choice is adept enough, we will revisit the potential of adding another to the team.”
“But Master Fu, with my Miraculous training two new heroes at once would be easy!” Marinette protested with a frown, “we could have more allies trained faster if I just used Multitude to help both of them at once, and then we’d be better prepared to handle Scarab and Psyche!”
“Perhaps, but that would also weaken you, and as you are currently the strongest fighter we have it’s not a risk that I feel comfortable taking. Our enemies know that we have more miraculouses in our possession now, and their next attack will be much more aggressive in response to that. If our line of defense comes down to myself, an elderly man who can barely help with the fights, two new heroes who will have no idea what they’re doing, and you, weakened from overusing your powers to train both of your new allies at once, it will leave us in a bad position, even if we outnumber our enemy.”
“Yeah, I guess that makes sense,” Marinette admitted, a little reluctantly. It was a little disappointing that they weren’t going to double their team’s power right off the bat like she’d hoped, but she did see the logic behind Fu’s caution now. And they’d still be getting a little stronger, going forward with his plan, which hopefully meant less weight on Marinette’s shoulders.
“Luckily, I already had an eye on someone who should be a strong asset to the team,” Fu said, making Marinette perk up. “If worse came to worse, I was prepared to surrender Wayzz to them, so that you would have a more battle capable partner to help with your fights. But now that we have other miraculouses, I believe that they could be an excellent choice for the Dog Miraculous.”
“Great!” Marinette said happily. “The sooner we can get them familiarized with the Miraculous, the better. It’s probably better for them to try to train first, instead of throwing them into a fight unprepared.”
“Indeed,” Fu said with a rueful smile, no doubt remembering the near disaster that was Marinette’s clumsy first attempts with the Mouse Miraculous. It was lucky for both of them, and Paris as a whole, that she was a quick study and eventually got the hang of it. Otherwise. Scarab would have already won, “I will give them Barkk today, and hopefully their training can start tonight.”
“I can do that,” Marinette agreed. “Just let them know to meet me at the Mazarine Library tonight around 11 or so. It should be quiet enough over there that we can work with getting them more comfortable with their miraculous before their first fight.”
“Of course,” Fu said, nodding. “However, I will not be revealing myself to the one who will be given the Dog.” THAT made Marinette start a little, staring at her mentor in confusion.
“What?” She said, eyebrows stitching together. “But… why not?”
“With a new chosen in play, it may be wiser for me to remove myself from the battlefield more, so I can instead focus on helping from a more supportive position. I’m too old to be of much use in a fight, but my knowledge may help serve you and your team in the coming battles. Not only can I put more time and effort into locating the other Miraculouses before they fall into the wrong hands, but I can also find ways to help you unlock even more power, so you can fight more efficiently.
But we need to be safe about how we proceed from here on out. Yes, we will have more allies going forward, but that may also mean making ourselves more vulnerable to the enemy, should one of us be discovered. For that reason, we need to be even more cautious from here on out. I will hand out the Miraculous, but will not allow the one I chose to know my true Identity. And when I believe our new hero to be adept enough, you will choose the holder for the rooster. Neither of us will tell the other who we chose, and of course We will not reveal our identities to either of the new heroes or allow them to reveal themselves to each other. If, at any time, anyone’s identity is compromised, then the hero or heroes involved will have to relinquish their Miraculous. Even if that hero is one of us. Do you understand?” Marinette stared at the elderly man across from her for a moment, too stunned to speak as he held her gaze with his own unwavering look. It was only after Mullo gave her palm a worried nuzzle that Marinette realized that he was still waiting for her response.
“I… yes. I understand, sir,” Marinette said, holding Fu’s gaze with her own. She understood the seriousness of this undertaking, and the reason the precaution was necessary, and she knew that she needed to step up and be more authoritative if Fu really was stepping back away from the fight. These new heroes would be looking to her for guidance, and she couldn’t leave them vulnerable. She was going to be the one with the knowledge and experience. And she was the one who was going to have to make sure that these rules were enforced.
“Excellent,” Fu said, giving Marinette a warm smile. “Tomorrow, start giving serious consideration to anyone you feel would be fit to use a Miraculous themselves. But for tonight, get some rest, so that you’re ready to help your new partner.”
“Of course, Master,” Marinette agreed. She already had a few potential people in mind, but needed to mull it over carefully before she committed to any of them. And before THAT, she had to devote her full attention to training whoever Fu chose to wield the Dog.
Whoever it was, she hoped they were better prepared for it than she was.
Multimouse was a little surprised when she got to the library and found someone else already waiting for her on the roof. Surprised, but pleased. Being eager to start was a good sign that the new wielder wouldn’t be a clumsy, half panicked mess like she was.
Landing nimbly on the roof, Multimouse smiled warmly at her new companion. Male, from the look of it, with sunny blond hair that almost blended perfectly with the yellow of his suit and big green eyes that went wide with awe at the sight of her.
“You must be my new partner,” Multimouse greeted him cheerfully. “It’s nice to meet you…?” She trailed off inquiringly, waiting for the new guy to introduce himself. After a moment, the blond snapped out of his daze and grinned widely at her, and the belt that served as his ‘tail’ began to wag aggressively behind him.
“Me? I’m Chien de Garde! At your service, Ma Souris!” He said, bowing in flouish. Multimouse arched an eyebrow and gave him a bemused smile. ‘Guard Dog,’ huh?
“Affectionate, aren’t you?” she observed, eyes flitting to his wagging tail. She grinned when Chien de Garde blushed and grabbed the offending appenage to try and stop it, to no avail. “you planning on flirting Scarab and Psyche into submission, puppy?” Chien de Garde pulled a face at the question, clearly not finding her little tease that amusing.
“I’ll have you know I am a well trained attack dog, Ma Souris,” He said, pouting a little. Multimouse snickered a little at his antics.
“I’ll be the judge of that, puppy,” she said, motioning for him to follow her, “come on, let’s go see if your bite lives up to your bark,”
“Yes, Ma’am!” Chien de Garde said happily, eagerly following behind her. Multimouse felt her lips tug up into an easy smile as the feel of his presence right behind her, already comfortable with this boy she hardly even knew.
why tf does the cat have a stick?? like y'all gave the dog a ball coz "fetch" and u gave the cat the stick coz,,,, destruction??? bad luck???
fuck that, I'm rewriting that for my au:
dog miraculous has a stick, a baton if u will, which is just like Chat Noir's with the way it extends and shit but when the holder activates their power (still Fetch coz it's a decent power to have) they use the tip of their baton to touch the object that they want to be able to "fetch" (or they can just use their hand, up to whatever they need)
and like ppl use sticks to play fetch with more than balls anyways so that's my reasoning :)
also then, in my au, we can still have Adrien with his baton in combat coz when I picture dog!Adrien, I always picture him with his baton across his back so yeah :D
now for the cat, I think Marinette would have fun with a ball rather than a stick, and also stick ??? really ??? where's the correlation between stick and cat ??? I think a ball fits better coz ball of yarn (ok maybe that's a stretch) but my cat has always been more interested in sphere objects rather than long thin ones so :P
so cat!Marinette has a "ball" as her weapon of choice, or maybe !! it's her bell, he can detach her bell (with a string attached) and can enlarge it to use to hit opponents (like she does with her yo-yo or as if it's one of those spikey balls on the end of a chain)
and !!! when she wants to use cataclysm, she can hold the bell in her hand and "channel" the cataclysm to the bell so that she can throw it at objects to cataclysm them (because ofc Marinette has good aim, what isn't she good at??)
anyways, dog!Adrien with a club and cat!Marinette with a spiky ball on a chain - Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :3
