#turtlnette

“Have you heard of Heilong, Paris’ local hero?” 

Been meaning to do a turtlnette fic a while, and I'm happy to say I finally have a possible idea, and for sure wanted to play around with a possible design.

more of her full body below, as well as meaning behind the name. 

Heilong (Hēilóng) translates to black dragon in Chinese, the name was largely inspired by Bixi, one of the 9 dragon songs who is a Chinese dragon with a turtle shell, the mythical beast dragon turtle (Lóngguī), and the black tortoise, one of the Four Symbols of China.

Turtlnette, Blue Shell

Adrien: Coque Saphir!

CS: A-Adrien! H-hi!

Adrien: Coque Saphir, I wanted to tell, you truly live up to your name. 

CS: I do? 

Adrien: Yeah! For akumas, you are truly like the dread blue shell from Mario Cart!

CS:

CS: Well, I guess you’re not wrong.

Turtlnette the Shipping Trash

Marinette: I have found the perfect Ladybug and Black Cat.

Wayzz: You mean your friends? Alya and Nino? Marinette, I know you think they’re cute, but you shouldn’t-

Marinette: My ship will live! They’ll be the ultimate team!

Wayzz, looks at the screen like he’s in the office: Why are all my turtles such hardcore shipping trash?

So I freaking LOVE your kwami swap stories, and I was kind of wondering if you have any plans to do a full story of turtle!mari or bee!mari? I think those are the only 2 you haven’t written full stories for. Either way, love your work! :)

Yep! Haven’t done those, which is kind of wild since I think those would probably be the best for her, especially bee, she matches with the traits of the bee a lot. Only thing is thinking of what stories to do but I have some maybes.

An upcoming idea, Fortune Favors the Bold, where Adrien fails Fu’s test and Marinette works solo with two miraculouses, there’s a chance she may get turtle alongside the earrings, or it’s the ring. But by Fu’s comment in Robotose about how earrings and ring should never be together, more likely for him to not hand out the ring. So FFtB could be the turtlnette, with a mix of LB to her. 

As for bee… there are two maybe ideas. 

One is another take on the au of Marinette giving up the earrings to Alya. After doing a character study on what miraculouses could work best and which would be the least fit, I had a realization on why the earrings really wouldn’t be best for Alya, and want to explore this new thought. So while Alya struggles, Marinette is groomed by Pollen to embrace the queen bee that she truly is, helping her be confident and capable in herself.

The other idea is a set up where Fu doesn’t have the best intuition on choosing heroes, playing off the detail that he didn’t finish his Guardian training, and he had chosen DJWifi as LBBC pair. Only the duo aren’t as solid as he had hoped and need a little extra help. Though, this could also potentially be another Marifox or turtlnette; with this time for sure, Marientte won’t be obtaining the earrings. 

It’d be one of those for another miraculous swap with Marinette, but we’ll just have to see on them. I need to think on them more and the other I need to finish LFP first, which will be a while.
