Miraculous School AU Idea!

I’ve been sitting on this for God knows how long, and just now have gotten around to posting it. Hello procrastination my old friend~

I really don’t have any real inclination to write this, but if anyone does all I ask is that you tag me so I can read it.

This is a kind of mix of Miraculous Ladybug, Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson. Please don’t jack me if I get some details wrong, I’m a casual fan. If you have ideas for this, I’d love to hear it.

 There is a school type setting where gifted children go to learn of their powers.

Magic is real and it’s known, but not everyone has it.

Think like Bending in the A:tlA. That kinda commonplace.

One has just as much of a chance of having magic as the next. Class, birth, status, history, none of it matters.

Having magic in your bloodline does help your chances of having magic yourself though.

The children are gathered to learn how to harness their powers and use them for the betterment of humanity and defense against the Others.

While normal classes are present, like math, history, science, more active ones happen too, like magical potency, combat, survival, and other things.

There are school wide competitions between class years, Houses, groups, clubs, and so on.

There is also a system of ‘jobs/chores’ that the students do.

Kids need to learn practical life and critical thinking skills, not rote memorization.

There are classes based on age, others based on proficiency and interest, and some based on your House.

The students are ‘Housed’ by the Miraculous they wear and called by the animal they are.

Tikki’s charges are called Ladybugs, Plagg’s are called Cats, Sass’s are Snakes, Loong’s are Dragons, and so on.

I’m thinking the space of the School is huge. Like sprawling.

The Kwamii are kinda like House Mascots, Teachers, Counselors, all rolled into one.

Each house has their Human teachers and Counselors as well.

They wear Miraculous-like jewelry to identify themselves, kinda like House Colors in Hogwarts.

But the jewelry is just that, jewelry. Nothing magical there.

Even after graduation, many’ll tend to wear their jewelry as homage to their Kwamii.

Each Kwamii House has certain specializations when it comes to magic. Foxes are superlative at illusions, Turtles are masters of barriers, etc.

That’s not to say others can’t use those same abilities like it’s an exclusive thing, but they’ll never come to the same level of skill or power as a naturally Housed child would.

Even still, a whole lot of people choose to specialize in just their House.

I have no idea how some of these powers would work in this setting though, like Bunnies and Time Travel for instance. If you have ideas, let’s hear it.

The Houses all have their own quirks and stereotypes. Turtles tend to be longer lived, Dragons are honor hounds, freedom fighting Eagles, yada yada.

Fuu is a few hundred in this and a beloved headmaster. Kinda takes on the Dumbledore/Chiron/Gandalf type role.

Via an undetermined magic, the kind that Kwamii have an instinct for but can’t explain, the children are grouped up by the Kwamii they work with/have an affinity for.

The closer to the center of the Miracle Box their Kwamii is, the more powerful potential they possess, and typically the rarer they are.

There’s no real way to determine which House you’ll be in beforehand. Roll for initiative.

Ladybugs and Black Cats are the absolute rarest, obviously. Like shiny Pokémon. (ooh, shiny!)

Bugs and Cats have less stereotypes and more rumors and legends. There haven’t been enough to make those kinds of overarching assumptions.

A few things are certain though:

o   There has never been a Bug without their Cat and vice versa.

o   They’re soulmates of some kind: platonic, romantic, whatever.

o   As they have the greatest potential, they also carry the biggest burdens and danger.

o   They naturally have the longest and hardest roads to walk.

o   Apart, they’re formidable. Together, they’re unstoppable.

o   The chances of being chosen as a Bug/Cat is so low, it’s almost nonexistent.

o   They have not only the powers of Creation/Destruction, but there are things known only to and things achieved only by Bugs/Cats.

Beyond that, mostly hearsay.

It’s been said that the main founding members of the School were a Bug/Cat.

There have been many powerful and notable figures throughout history, good and ill, magical and non, but Bugs/Cats seem to have a league of their own.

There is no guarantee of what House you will be in when you get there, but some are still convinced at keeping a ‘Pure Bloodline’.

It’s not illegal, but very ‘elitist’ in a supercilious way. (Look it up, seriously. It’s a fun word.)

It ‘works’ in a way that you take on the traits of those you grow up with, so are more likely to get into said House. So it’s a ‘yes but no’.

Every House has at least one family that does this. It’s as dumb as it sounds.

Soulmate magic is a thing, but it’s just as unpredictable as normal magic.

Think of all the differing Soulmate side effects, put them in a grab bag, and then pull out one or few dozen.

Sabine and Tom are soulmates despite not being magic users themselves. This is more uncommon than having a soulmate bond. Most soulmates are magic users.

The kids are mid-teens, young adults when they’re given the notice of joining the School. Gives them time to be kids for a little bit.

Marinette was surprised that she has magic potential at all, being a normal baker’s daughter and all. Adrian was excited to go to the school his parents did.

There are tests that measure if a person is capable of going to said school well beforehand, but few can actually afford it and has a low accuracy rate.

There’s also some side issues with the test that have their own debates.

The ‘Sorting’ takes place a few days after they arrive, which the trip takes a few days in itself.

The theory is that the new bloods will more easily mingle without things like House stigmas holding them back.

This usually works as a lot of classes are mixed House and/or year anyway, but cliques still happen. School, duh.

It’s nowhere near as divided as Hogwarts was, but more of a chaotic unity of Camp Half Blood. (it’s been a while for both, don’t quote me)

While it’s true that getting chosen as a Bug/Cat is an off chance at best, everybody has fantasized being one at least once.

But by the time the Choosing comes around, they’re old enough to know how horrifically improbable it is and aren’t heartbroken when they aren’t chosen as such.

There’s always a small ‘underground’ betting pool that, while not really encouraged, happens every year. Sometimes those that should know better are in on it.

I figured the Sorting would be something between the sorting in HP and PJ. A nice little ceremony with moderate fanfare. Nothing too big.

Plagg doesn’t bother with any of the proper etiquette stuff, he just plops himself on Adrian’s head and takes a nap.

“My Cat, deal with it.”

All the Kwamii are excited, but he could have at least waited his turn…

“Marinette! Marinette! Did you see that?! We have a Cat in our year!!”

“Alya, was it? She might see better if you weren’t shaking her like that.”

Tikki decided to have mercy on the rest (and prevent a riot) and claimed Marinette quickly.

Fuu and the staff knew that they got their work cut out for them. It’s never quiet when a Bug/Cat appear. Ever.

If it is quiet, for any length of time, something’s wrong.

Instant celebrities, but big titles make for big targets. See: Harry Potter and Percy Jackson.

No secret identities here. Mwahahahaha! *crickets* Ok, I have no idea how that’d work.

No clue for the Love Square either, as much of a lovely chaotic mess that is. Ideas are welcome.

It’s ‘highly suggested’ that you sit with your House for the first few days to get acquainted with your new ‘siblings’.

This means that Marinette and Adrian have a small table all to themselves with two miniature gods and most every eye on them.

A girl with adhd/anxiety and a boy with emotional baggage/socially clueless issues alone at a table. Who happen to be soulmates of a sort.

I’ll take Awkward for 200.

The other Kwamii typically have to spread their time out among their students.

Even though they have to split their time, they are much more involved in their young ones’ lives than a Demigods’ parent.

It’s almost like having a third parent for most children.

Tikki and Plagg have no such limitations, so they go everywhere with their Bug/Cat.

That’s not to say that Mari and Adrian, or any others, will only be seen with their Kwamii, ‘Kwamii Swaps’ happen all the time. It’ll just be more obvious and more understandable with those two.

Everybody can see and talk to any Kwamii. Some have better advice for certain situations.

While Bugs/Cats are the responsibility of Tikki/Plagg, the other Kwamii don’t hesitate to lend a hand when needed.

True they’ll do that for most anyone but Bugs/Cats especially.

As Bugs/Cats have the longest road, they need the most help.

Each House has a kind of ‘Cabin’ sort of rooming. They’re not hidden per se, but you need permission to enter if you’re not a resident.

Each Cabin has their own unique style, feel, and history to them.

The House Cabins are separated for space and privacy. Bugs and Cats are technically separate, but they’re basically sharing an apartment.

I’ll take Awkward for 500.

Logically it makes sense: why have a whole section for a Cabin like the others when Bugs and Cats are so few and far in between? They’re Soulmates anyway.

The other Houses have no issues with students. There’s always been a handful in their House at any time.

Marinette takes one look at her new pad and thinks “this is bigger than my house!” Adrian thinks it’s rather modest.

On the upside, it offers some of the best views. Rather private too.

Who knows what other secrets their Cabin has…

Or the School for that matter.

Queen’s Battle (pt. 1 + pt. 2)

*WARNING: SPOILERS  AHEAD*

First off, I didn’t think we’d get Queen’s Battle before 2019. I can’t be the only one. I for sure thought that Frozer would be the last episode we’d get to see for 2018.

Moving on, literally every time Marinette goes into freak-out mode, I want to reach through my screen and give her a hug - stop stressing my child out 2k18 and beyond. Everyone needs a Tikki in their lives, btw. Also, why do I feel as though the writers scroll through Tumblr? Because everyone’s been talking about Adrien’s allergies, and the writers fixed that plot hole up real quick with synthetic feathers. Like, I feel as though they’re getting better at not leaving us with a million questions…?

AntHoNy -

Girl, you forgetting his name on purpose or…?

(Gorilla’s face was everything though, he was probably just like, “my boss may be Hawkmoth, but at least he remembers to treat me like a human every now and then, sayonara bitch.”

Why isn’t the carpet made out of marble - jfc! I can’t deal with this woman and it’s only been like two minutes. Her magazine is named Style Queen? Why didn’t anyone on here think of that? Also, Audrey’s just a straight up bitch, I want to knock that ridiculous hat off of her head, she is the worst, and not to condone Chloe’s own actions, but if that's what I had to look up to, if that was my main influence growing up, I’d be Chloe too.

cLarA?!

Thomas, what the hell is this?! We can’t have parents on this show who are worse than Gabriel, he’s the fucking villain!

“And you’re fired.” - from what, being your daughter - wait, actually, that’s not the worst idea, run Chloe run (I’d just quit if I could)

Aw, Adrienette, my sun, my stars, the only way to turn this episode around… No, seriously, I missed their adorkably awkward interactions, it feels like it’s been a while since we’ve had on of those (maybe it’s just the shipper in me, but whatevs)

Okay, I know that everyone thought that Nathalie might deliver some savage comebacks or whatever, but her monotonous air of ‘shut up, god, why are you still here?” was the funniest shit ever, I lived for it people! Oh Nathalie…

Moving on, are they really gonna’ have Audrey get akumatized cuz she thinks that Gabriel making her sit in the second row (GOD FORBID) is a sign of disrespect? So he reserved the front seat for his son’s closest friends, one of whom designed a piece for the show, big deal.

The coffin - oh dear god, I knew it was coming but with the music and everything, chills, literal chills. Also, why does Emilie’s outfit look like a fencing uniform…?

But like, my boy Nino living his best life, fulfilling his dreams - YAAAASSSS DJ!NINO

“Is this supposed to happen?” - Tom is so precious!

ADRIEN WHY DIDN’T YOU RUN?! (I knew it was gonna’ happen, but he could’ve gotten away and transformed, ugh)

I know that Style Queen’s the villain, but she’s not wrong about the costume. Is it practical and thematic? Yes. Does it look like the work of an aspiring fashion designer? Don’t make me laugh.

Aw, Chloboats just saved her hero’s life - Chloe’s a real stan, like she’d do anything for Ladybug, even somewhat defy her mother.

Also, I can’t believe they actually made Adrien as Sleeping Beauty canon. I’m telling you, someone in that writers’ room is on Tumblr. 

Mari met Plaag guys, she met Plaag- I LOVE THIS SEASON SO MUCH!!!

Yo, I need flashbacks of what Plaag did to Atlantis, the leaning tower, dinosaurs, and god knows what else. Master Fu was quick to jump on him though. Like, Marinette comes in full panic mode and he’s just chillin, meditating, living life, but the minute Plaag starts talking he was in Mari mode like “no, nope, nopitynopnope.” and Wayzz just groaning in the background - highlight of the episode for me honestly.

Alya nearly became Queen Bee y’all!!! I love how Marinette just knows that she’ll be there, so she’s like, ‘yo, how’s about a second miraculous, you up for it?’ By the way, what are rules of being a miraculous holder exactly? Like, are you allowed to be in possession of more than one? Can they like, switch miraculous all willy nilly depending on the situation?

Is it wrong that I love Plaag even more now knowing that such a tiny little bean can cause so much damage? God bless Marinette and Tikki’s powers cuz’ otherwise, I think Plaag’s cataclysm would’ve probably destroyed the entire city, or at least half of it.

Also, Mari, sweetie, the bee miraculous! The bee mirac- this girl...

Nathalie knows?! Did we know she knows?! I know we headcanon she knows, but did we know?! Guys, this is too much for me. On that note, Pollen is adorable, I love her already, she must be protected at all costs!

Now onto part two…

HE’S GIVING UP?! GABRIEL, REALLY?! I mean, should be happy…? I did not see that one coming but I guess this was the final straw for him, so I kind of get it. Like, Style Queen was supposed to be his end all be all, and even she failed to seal the deal for him, and with Adrien being caught in the crossfire once again, it was just too much, and goddammit, am I relating to/sympathizing with Gabriel? Especially after what an asshole he was to Nooroo during the last episode, like, guys, I wanted to wring his neck, what is this feeling?

Okay, so after all that crap in part one, Audrey’s suddenly doing a complete 180 and being sweet and complimenting people? I mean, she’s still a shit mother so I still loathe her existence, but giving credit where credit is due is actually pretty fair of her considering everything we just witnessed. Everything’s coming up Marinette, and I want to be happy for her, I really, truly do. But we all know Chloe’s hurting and she’s gonna’ blow a gasket.

Imagine doing everything you possibly can to follow in your mother’s footsteps despite the way she treats you, imagine loving her so much that you nearly start to become her, and she doesn’t give a fuck and simply continues to refer to you with the wrong name (casserole, really?). Then imagine watching her praise your classmate who you despise, and offering to take her to New York with her when she wouldn’t even take you, her daughter. Add that to said classmate getting support from her own parents, one of your oldest and only friends and his dad, the biggest name in fashion who is known for being cold-hearted and ruthless. And the cherry on top is said mother not feeling a single speck of guilt, remorse or regret. I feel bad for Chloe you guys, her outburst makes sense, her anger is justified in my opinion.

Pulling out the miraculous though… I get it, rash decision taking her heightened emotions into account, but still not okay. Despite my feeling bad for her, I still don’t think her actions were okay, she’s so all over the place emotionally, she’s going about things the wrong way. She’s so desperate for her mother’s approval, she’s ready and willing to do anything, which actually makes her so dangerous taking her powers into consideration.

CHLOE WHAT THE FUCK?!

NONONONONONONO

SHE INDIRECTLY BROUGHT HAWKMOTH BACK TOO, DAMMIT, EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL!!!

Of course Mari’s parents are the first to rise to the occasion and help save everyone, everything about Marinette makes so much sense now.

Moving on, the fight sequences in this episode were exceptional! I don’t know why, but they were so cool in this episode I just had to talk about them. Queen Wasp was like a one-woman arsenal, she was the most badass villain ever, which is saying a lot considering Anansi and Sandboy. The underwater fight sequence was good too, my only complaint about this episode is honestly just the lack of Pollen, like, she’s so precious, I wanted more than four words to come out of her mouth y’all.

I don’t know how the rest of you felt about the episode, but I don’t think that they forgave Chloe too easily. Obviously Adrien knows her, he knows she is and he understands why she did what she did. But that look on Mari’s when Audrey told Chloe that she wasn’t exceptional, and then later on when Tom said he was willing to do anything for his daughter, I think something may have clicked inside Mari like, ‘I have two parents who love me, so I’ll never understand how Chloe feels, but I guess I get why she is the way she is,’ and just like in Zombizou, this was Marinette extending the olive branch in a way. This Marinette is definitely different than the one from Antibug, and I like that Marinette is being patient with Chloe and letting her come terms with her actions on her own rather than being so quick to just berate her for her mistakes - THANK YOU CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT (for both my girls).

Now, as far as the confrontation with Audrey goes, I think a little part of Marinette used helping Chloe as an excuse to stick it to both Bourgeois women, and honestly, I see you Marinette and I must admit, you made me proud. Mari throwing shade aside, I feel like they could’ve ended it with a much more tender moment between Chloe and her mother rather than Audrey just being ecstatic at how her daughter is as horrible a person as she is, which I honestly think just regressed all the progress she made, like, come on Thomas, give me a break!

All in all, I did think that Queen’s Battle was a really great two-parter, part two was definitely a lot more action-packed and hit me right in the feels, but part one really brought that comedic element, so I guess they’re both pretty even in that sense.
