Alright...so I don’t know if any of you guys have watched Micarah Tewers on YouTube (you should if you haven’t), but I just watched one of her videos and it gave me big Marinette vibes and now I need her to run a YouTube channel like this... 

[Here’s a link to one of my favourite videos of hers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CfolgJ9Fik&ab_channel=MicarahTewers]

It’s just the scatterbrained, fashion-loving, wholesome vibes that are packed into those videos that are screaming Marinette to me. They both have the perfect chaotic energy. Like the channel might offically be for fashion, but she gets distracted with random other things so often. Like just imagine...

— Marinette: *sewing something* *the kwamis knock something over in the background and she looking back in a panic* Marinette: *looks back at the camera and lies* anyway I live in an attic and my house is haunted — (and Micarah does this thing where she uses absurb objects to measure things...) Marinette: cut out a strip of fabric roughly the size of your local cat friend’s boot- Marinette: trace a circle about the size of your imaginary pet ladybug’s head- — Marinette: *while handsewing and reading comments from a previous video* are you Adrien Agreste’s Pajama Girl? Ha. Ha. Ha. *spins around in her spinny chair and fake cries and turns around with the pajamas in hand* yes kill me now Marinette: am I Chat Noir’s Baker Girl? Well my parents are bakers. And I am a girl. So maybe. 👀 maybe I have multiple personalities! I’m baker girl, designer girl and pajama girl!! I’ve figured it out. I’ve connected the dots. I’ve connected them. — Marinette: *having righteous anger over fashion faux pas* — Marinette: I’m going to summon the ghost *throws crumbs on the floor* okay. Watch. The ghost will eat it. I swear I don’t lie. But they only do it when I’m alone. I’m not insane. *the kwamis eat the food, which the camera can’t pick up* you’re welcome o ghost for the offering — Marinette: *making rant videos about movies that did not deserve to win Oscars for fashion* Marinette: *getting distracted really easily, playing video games with her parents, baking, having Chat Noir and Alya visiting* Marinette: *pausing her work to stare at Adrien’s pictures* *looks at them longingly* anyway- — Marinette: *reading more comments about the “ghost” living with her* yes I am haunted…..by crippling pressure and self doubt- — Marinette: some of you guys have been saying that I have a crush on Adrien Agreste. *stares at camera* Anyway- — Marinette: *just sewing* *there’s a bump on the roof* AHHH- Marinette: *into the camera* it’s okay, it’s just a cat. *lets the cat in* Chat Noir: Hi, so Ladybug was busy tonight and I’m bored and hungry. Mari: and what do I owe you-? :/ …except my life… hold on, imma get you some gosh darn food- Chat: *after Marinette returns with food while eating* oh my gosh, I love croissants. I never get them. Marinette: *while picking a fabric, does double take* what? Sir- you live in Paris, how do you NEVER get croissants?? Chat: *swallows* that goes into secret identity territory… Marinette: Ah darn. Okay. Well I guess you just live in a big castle all by yourself and you can’t have croissants because your too poor to hire a chef and can’t make them yourself. How sad. Chat: *nodding* it’s so sad. Marinette: yes, now hold this role of velvet- — Marinette: hey everybody it’s Marinette. You can call me Marinette. No, it is not short for Marie Antoinette. — Marinette: I live in Paris. Yes, we’re still alive despite Mothman outlawing sadness. *whispers close to the camera* which really sucks for me- Marinette: *messes up on a stitch* hold on *goes to her balcony to scream for a second* okay I’m good — Hey so Chat Noir is here again this ungrateful stray- but he doesn’t want to sew tonight, so we’re going to bake cinnamon rolls, and I am just appalled because -honest to goodness- I swear he is a real cat because he has never baked anything in his life?? Sir did you never bake cookies with your mom? Wait- don’t answer that. Anyway, we’re changing the channel name to Marinette Bakes now I guess- (the channel is actually called Marinette Makes or something.) — She ends up having to do an interview with editing help from Alya to prove that she’s not Ladybug when people start theorizing. — Marinette: *walking down the street after fabric shopping* that’s Chloe Bourgeois. We are going to avoid her. She’s the mayors daughter. And we are not going to say anything else about her because, you guessed it, she’s the mayor’s daughter. — Marinette: *mad that something didn’t work* *makes an animation of an akuma coming for her* oH NO- — Constant interruptions by akumas.

Anyway, the vibes are great and the possibilities are endless.

Do the Kwamis of the Dark Miracle Box have a preferred/favorite food? I'd love to know!

Yes, they do. I thought about their favorite foods but I guess I just forgot to mention it .

Prikkel loves blueberries. She also loves desserts with them.

Ottila likes toast. The more burnt, the better.

Beppe ironically enjoys tomato juice.

Morii likes spicy food, but prefers bell peppers.

Kassa likes coconut, though he'll eat anything.

Gaari loves broccoli. He doesn't admit it though.

Piijan likes cereal, he eats lots of it.

Vojakk loves nuts, he also loves cracking the shells.

Sirppi enjoys potato chips.

Tawwa adores chocolate, and just every other sweet thing around.

Hope you like this answer, let me know if you want to know anything else.

could you share your source about thomas naming marinette after a coworker? i've been in this fandom since 2015 and I've never seen that before and I cant believe I missed it!! i love when creators name characters or take inspiration for characters from their coworkers/friends/family, it's really sweet

I believe it was mentioned once or twice during some French interviews when talking about the origins of how Ladybug came to be. A new coworker came working on a project Thomas was on. And there is this fun thing among storyboarders to exchange between themselves fun doodles on post-its. And since she was wearing a t-shirt with a ladybug on it, Thomas drew her dress as a Ladybug superhero.

I unfortunately cannot remember which interviews exactly where he dropped that Marinette's name is a derivation of that coworker's name.

BUT!! On one of the concept arts, you can read the name Marietta. 

Note : I don’t know if it was that coworker’s name nor another derivative, but since it is that early in the process, I don’t think Thomas went : let’s dig etymology to find a meaningful name.

I’d like to propose: Cynical Chat

Canon Adrien is bean and I ain’t wanting to change that BUT imagine if he could see his life was a puddle of neglect and was 24/7 sarcasm/hooded eyes/dark humour

Even better Adrien’s still a ray of sunshine but as Chat he’s like yes let’s finally get thrown across Paris and beaten by controlled minds

And LB the whole time is either rolling her eyes or is like, dude, mate, are you okay

Chat: Never will. Never have been. Ciao!

Like the possible scenarios and hilarity are amazing:

-

Akuma: “Any last words?”

Chat, stretching out his arms ready to be hit: “Thanks!”

“Chat!”

He sighs. Another day then.

-

Akuma: “I will steal your sight! No one will pay attention to me ever again! Leave me be! *pew* All of you!”

Chat: “Pff, just come to my house mission accomplished”

-

Chat: “We’re gonna die!”

LB: “Be positive!”

Chat: “I... was?”

-

LB: [holding Lucky Charm] “What can I pierce through this to connect it to that?”

Chat: “Do you take volunteers?”

-

Chat: No, great! You’re fine! Midnight akumas are my favourite! Just make your horrifying screams of terrors after I just got to sleep louder next time, won’t you?”

-

Chat: “Can you send messages?”

Akuma: “Can I...?”

Chat: *taking nearby stadium mic* “Yo Hawk Sloth! If I have to waste my teenage sleeping hours dealing with your angst issues, then stop being a pussy and show up yourself! A real man would break the laws in person!

-

Chat: *to the akuma* “Dude! You like, really need a life!”

LB: “Chat! Don’t be rude!”

Chat: “Oh so he can try to kill me but I’m the one being rude?”

-

[Miraculous Ladybug]

LB: “Chat! *races to hug his materialising body*

Chat: [softly] “You have got to be kidding me-”

-

LB: “I can’t tell if this is a useless lead”

Chat: “Ask my father he’s great at determining uselessness”

-

Chat: [sees Adrien advertisement] “Go shove the fragrance up your cheese-smelling ass”

-

LB: “You know Gabriel Agreste? His son?”

Chat: “That guy has a son?! No way! Does he know that?”

Ml au where every miraculous has a side effect of using it too often, butterfly makes it so user has harder time controlling their emotions, Fox makes user more prone to lying, cat makes user more prone to breaking stuff. Etc.

I have that with Akuma called Broken Butterfly au.

But I have a different idea, what if using the miraculous Drained the user of the concept the Kwami are based on.

Marinette starts getting Designer block after being ladybug for a bit because she is finding it hard to be creative.

Adrien finds he is more Apathetic and more compliant after being Chat noir, instead of rebellious.

Gabriel becomes more apathetic to people with continued use of the butterfly

[residentmiddlechild]

I am a sucker for the concept of Gorilla intervening in the final Shadowmoth battle between a de-transformed Adrien and Shadowmoth/Gabriel and Gabriel looking at him in anger, seething, “What are you doing?” And Gorilla stands above a trembling Adrien and says his first words in the entire show, “My job.” And then he punches Gabriel in the face. And then he adopts Adrien. I love that crap.

Meet the Dark Miraculous Box's Kwamis

Prikkel – Kwami of Corruption

Art by @gothandflowers

Wasp Miraculous

Type: Hair pin

Weapon: Diary

Power: Doppelganger

Transformation: Prikkel, stinger ready!

Detransformation: Stinger down!

Prikkel (she/her)

Prikkel is a romantic, she sees beauty everywhere, even in the most normal and mundane things, and she expresses this in a very poetic way. She uses a fancy vocabulary to express her ideas, even the simplest ones. Prikkel also takes her role as the embodiment of corruption very seriously, she often mentions that "there is beauty in evil" and "evil and good must coexist".

Meet the Dark Miraculous Box's Kwamis

Tawwa – Kwami of Stupefaction

Art by @gothandflowers

Hyena Miraculous

Type: Medallion

Weapon: Ball

Power: Mind Zap

Transformation: Tawwa, bare your teeth!

Detransformation: Laugh it off!

Tawwa (she/her)

Like a hyena, Tawwa is often laughing, even if there's nothing to laugh at. Tawwa is also hyperactive, often trying to do a lot of stuff at the same time and then getting easily distracted. She is also very loud, and will scream what she is saying even if the others are right next to her.
