Twin Silence AU:
An AU where both Marinette & Chloe are mutes who cannot speak.
These two girls grew up together due to a shared support group for not being able to speak when they were kids.
They ARE friends, but they bicker and argue regularly. Which is quite comical since both can’t talk and have to either act out, sign, or write their grievances at each other. Usually, Chloe provokes Marinette (with Mari doing similar a few times.) Marinette would use sign language to mock her knowing Chloe is not the best with it which also gets Chloe mad. It usually ends with comical fighting that isn’t as serious.
Marinette uses sign language and charades to express herself. If she gets flustered she has a habit to sign fast and frantically, making it hard for people to tell what she’s saying at times. She’s not good with text to speech so she goes with sign language and writing, but when flustered it ends up nearly impossible to read.
Chloe uses her phone's text to speech function to talk. She types fast, but her phone tends to sometimes auto-correct into words or sentences she doesn’t mean to write. This sometimes leads to her sentences to be funny and with her flustered and trying to correct the sentences. She can use sign language, but isn’t really good at it.
In this AU, Marinette gets the Cat Miraculous and Chloe gets the Ladybug, when they transform they get futuristic helmets that gives the girls digital expressions on their faces leading to very expressive faces. When talking to people, they either express or gesture to civilians or use their helmets' virtual text to show text to citizens.
They do work together well, but also have very comical spats while fighting crime. Usually arguing in silence while others look at them with slight amusement.
How will these two fair in this Comedy AU
