I think the difference between Chloé and Zoé as bee miraculous holders is they'd both reference it, but in GREATLY different ways.

Chloé would be all about glam, high fashion looks that really emphasise the 'queen' part of Queen Bee. Lots of gold and black, lots of stripes, the HEIGHT of fashion but with a bee-inspired twist.

Zoé loves bright colours and is a total theatre kid. She'd wear a LOT of saturated yellows, and a lot shirts with bee puns. Her favourite bag is definitely a mini backpack from Loungefly that's got little cartoony bee wings, and she definitely wears it everywhere.

It's you! Despite everything, it's still you.

I've been wanting to try the Undertale meme because I've always liked the quote. It feels kind of hopeful to me? You've been through a lot, it feels like everything has collapsed around you, but by the end of it all, you got through it, and you're still in one piece. You're still you.

It made me think a lot about Marinette and all the crazy stuff she went through between seasons 1 to 5. It was hard, she was overwhelmed, she had to fight impossibly hard for herself and the person she loves. But she made it out alive, she got through it and I'm so proud of her!! Go Mari!!!

I do still love Miraculous but these hiatuses have genuinely killed my enthusiasm for the show, so I haven't been drawing it as much. I have been drawing other things, though! And I know my enthusiasm for Miraculous will come back, I think I just need a break from it for a bit. I'm looking forward to binging the show on Disney+ once it all finally drops on there! :)

I don't think Miraculous Ladybug gets enough credit for improving itself over time.

Marinette's crush on Adrien was way overboard in the early seasons, so they toned it down and provided a sort of explanation for why she acted that way. Prince Ali was left behind in the early seasons. They started establishing real arcs for the show, arcs that aimed to actually develop the characters and their relationships. They expanded on Marinette's character to pull her out of the protagonist archetype a bit (Gang of Secrets was AWESOME).

The show isn't perfect and I won't pretend there aren't misteps with the writing at times, but it's trying to improve and it's trying to grow, and I think that's something to be appreciated.

I'm so excited for the new season!!

🐝Welcome to the Rouge Wasp AU!🐝

Zoé Lee never really wanted to leave New York. She's half Parisian, but she's also half New Yorker, and she's lived there since she could remember. But sometimes something happens--something SO bad-- that running is the only choice you have.

Being the daughter of Audrey Bourgeois, THE Queen of Fashion, isn't easy. Not when you're a living, breathing chip in her diamond studded belt. And being Chloé's half sister is even harder.

So when Ladybug offers her the deal of a lifetime-- to have real, actual superpowers-- she finds she can't refuse. Not when it means being free from her family, free from her trauma, and finally have a bit of FUN.

But with freedom comes a price.

The powers are temporary. She's supposed to give them back.

Well. Ladybug can pry them from her black and yellow hands.

Because to keep her freedom, this wasp is prepared to sting.

Part Two

Ladybug: Zoé Lee, will you be the holder of the bee miraculous?

Zoé: Oh, absolutely.

I wanna make friends in the miraculous fandom but it's so hard to find people that don't hate the show lolol I'm old, I miss when fandom spaces were less about fixing the source material and more about freaking out over all the things we love. Anyways!! I tried something new with my favourite holders! 🐈‍⬛️🐞🐝
