I think we've all met, at some point, a person who would look at these guys and say:

"I can fix him"

Honestly, I'm not fond of the Alliance Rings in Miraculous Ladybug Saeson 5 being glorified phones on a cheap looking minimalistic ring without any of the privacy. I for one wouldn't want everyone to see a hologram of my phone screen or have my phone calls audible to an entire room of people. It would be a nightmare trying to have a private conversation whether it's through texting or a call.

Every time I see a character wear an Alliance Ring, it looks like it could fly off their finger with a sudden movement. Why is it so far up their fingers? Why not have it at the base of the finger when not in use then slide it further up when they activate it? Would that have been too troublesome to animate?

I've come up with an alternative use for the Alliance Rings which still aids Hawkmoth without being obvious to the characters in the show, or being a gimmicky phone replacement.

The Tsurugi and Agreste brand collaborate and release the Alliance Rings which has a singular purpose, to alleviate the user of any negative emotions they're experiencing by holding down a button on the ring until they're calm again. Gabriel makes a speech about making sure Hawkmoth/Shadowmoth/Monarch has less opportunities to make akumas or something along those lines.

But how does that help Hawkmoth? Simple. The negative emotions aren't gone, but stored in his lair to guarantee his next target becomes an akuma by flooding their Alliance Ring with the negative emotions collected from many different people over time all at once. How are the negative emotions collected and stored? Flux Capacitor - it just works.

Also, by overloading the victim's ring with the negative emotions of other people, it can open up anyone to being akumatized, raising the stakes as there'd be less obvious signs that someone might be the next target. One minute they're bright and happy, the next, they're an akuma. Plus it would cut the monologue screen time and lend it somewhere else.

Some pictures from the sketchbook for my miraculous redesigns so far. I know exactly what I want Marinette to look like, Alya I have a good idea in my head, Chloé I know but I haven’t been able to draw her the way I imagine she looks, Adrien is a nightmare so he’s not here, and I also have some designs of Hawkmoth (now Monarch) and Mayura. I want those two to be a bit more stylish but I’m having some trouble with Mayura.

Anyway enjoy :)

I had a person bring up mlb on my post about how I enjoyed that fic I read where soulmates can read each other’s minds, so here are my thoughts on this (most of which I already shared with @lenacraft ):

• Marinette transforming for the first time and hearing Tikki’s voice in her head and freaking out for a second thinking that this tiny alien is her soulmate

• So many people accidentally mistaking Hawkmoth for their soulmates for a split second (wonder how that impacts getting akumatized, if your guard gets dropped more because you think it’s your soulmate speaking to you)

• Can your soulmate hear you getting akumatized? Can they do anything about it?

• Marinette wondering if it’s Luka or Adrien that’s her soulmate, anxiously waiting for whenever the mind reading kicks in (maybe at a specific age or when you’ve interacted with them enough times), and finally, after all this anticipation, thoughts that aren’t her own (or Tikki’s) filter in, annnnd it’s a bad cat pun. It’s Noir. Fuck.

• ^ prev was a funny thought, but I actually prefer Marinette/Kagami, so: Marinette waiting and finally hearing her soulmate and it’s Kagami, and she panics and introduces herself as Ladybug, and Kagami’s a bit disappointed that it’s not Marinette

• Lila lying and saying she has Ladybug as her soulmate, and that’s what ticks off Alya as being suspicious, since she’s a huge LadyNoir shipper

• Alya being Marinette/Ladybug’s soulmate (greatest realization, she can finally interview her whenever she wants) having Lila tell her that lie to her face

• God imagine if it was Lila. Marinette realizing that and then deciding to forcibly become her conscience. Sending her disapproving vibes every time she can tell Lila lied about something

• I don’t have any specific Lukanette thoughts but I can tell it’d be cute for them

Y’all can add more if you want, I’m not up to date on the show at all 😭

couple of ladybug redesigns ive been doodling while stark raving mad about how this show for little kids doesnt have more badass outfits for the characters. i basically take a crack at these every couple of months but this is the first time im really pleased w what i came up with!

i def wanna come back to these and tweak them or come up with more designs for the other characters. and i esp wanna do a hawk moth chloe..........

long winded explanation of my design concepts unser the cut

ladybug - this is kind of my brain process here. her canon design (the worst one in the show imo) just kinda looks like a polkadot onesie so i really wantes to give her more bug-like features. i gave her black eyes bc i think its really cool when miraculiur holders change eye colours to something unnatural and i think its pretty neat and comicbook-y, and also insect-like. i also gave her bug-wing hairclips and changed her pigtails to twin buns so they had more of a shape contrast to the clips. for all wing details i added turquoise as a third colour to give it some SPICE.

my first designs (1-4) went off the idea of a short dress/coat with puff sleeves to suggest the shape of bug-legs, and the coat tails serving as her wings. i think its a cute design that fits marinette's girly style, but i wasn't quite happy with it.

i had the idea of her sleeves serving as her wings instead of her skirt or coat tails, and looked a little into chinese styles of clothing with big sleeves like this to lean more into marinette being half-chinese. i found a style called hanyuansu, which is modern clothes modified with hanfu elements and took inspiration from looking at a few outfits, so i tried a couple different takes. i really like design 6 with the big coat, but it seems really impractical for crime fighting :/ maybe its like a formalwear alt look lol.

7 is my final design that i'm happiest with, as it has all the elements i wanted but is still simple enough to not feel overloaded. i made the yoyo black for a little contrast and just bc i think it looks really cool!

queen bee - chloe was robbed of a character arc and a cool design. i will avenge her.

this ddsign came to me muchhh easier. a beehive hairdo seemed like a no-brainer, as well as fur trims both because she's a bee and because she's a bougie rich girl. i wanted the look to scream elegance and be a little retro and 60ies-inspired to go with her hairdo. the shape and tights are like a cute minidress married to a fur coat meets bee stinger, which is the vibe i want! the gloves are full chic and also sort of like black insect legs.

again a light blue wing detail for a pop of contrast and just because wings are fucking cool, and it gave me an excuse for 60ies inspired blue eyeshadow! yellow eyes cause i love weird eye colours, and it just looks a little creepy and jaundiced hehe

no mask because everyone knows its's her anyways, so why bother? plus masks are sort of annoying to design around lol. i kept her feelers because theyre really cute!

queen bee x butterfly - ive wanted chloe to become the new hawk moth since the concept was teased. well now my heart is broken forever, but i can still dream!! so this is like, an au where she has a full epic villain arc, keeps the bee and also gets the butterfly miraculous and becomes the new big bad!

i kept a lot of thw elements from the queen bee design but modified them. the dress changes shape into something less like a stinger and more like a chic mini winter coat to match the giant fur trim she has now! obviously huge moth wings are a must, and more of a staff than hawk moth's cane because, hey. she's royalty.

her queen bee feelers change to fuzzy moth ones, and the colours are a little different to match better with purple! plus a butterfly mask now, and white eyes with solid yellow irises to diffirenciate her from.......

hawk moth - who is a fashion designer and should really have a better look!

i gave him solid white eyes to make him look less human and goofy, and again for that cool comic-booky look.

i based the whole design on wanting his silouette to mimic thw butterfly miraculous, so i kept and exaggerated his canon lapels and added two pointy coat tails for the bottom of the wings.

the long coat is a bit more dramatique and less basic, and i tried to give his mask a little flourish to keep him from looking so much like a silver thumb.

the only place i kept the silver is for the vest, which is segmented to imitatw to look of a butterfly or moth's belly. i spent the least amount of time on this one but i'm pretty happy with it for a rougher draft than the other three designs.

Marinette is a yanderé not in a "Just Monika" way but in a Gabriel Adgreste way
