#𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 : An independent, highly selective, and private roleplay blog for 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍-𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐆, aka 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐘𝐁𝐔𝐆 / 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 of Zagtoon’s 𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘𝐁𝐔𝐆 franchise. Portrayal is heavily headcanon-based given the limited nature of the special, but largely follows series canon with movie influences. Written by 𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐄, established in October 2023.
────────────────────────────────────────────
𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 : Non-roleplay blogs are blocked on sight. You must be 21+ and have an indication of such and an alias somewhere easy to find.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑 : First and foremost, I will not be writing sexual NSFW content here as Marinette is a minor. However, the universe she's from is not a pleasant one, so other triggering content will be present here. My headcanons and portrayal of reverse!Marinette and Shadybug will frequently deal with suicidal ideation and self-destructive behavior as a result of her environment and condition from misusing her Miraculous. Additionally, bear in mind that Shadybug is a villain and is described as being merciless. While I will not do anything extreme without prior discussion, I will not hold back my muse should you provoke her.
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 : Given that we have very few details about the Shadyverse, I have done a fair bit of expanding on it myself. I highly encourage you to check out my headcanons on this.

#𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐑 : Although not ship-exclusive, Vic is my main Adrien Agreste/Claw Noir. We're both duplicate friendly, though, so don't be afraid to approach one or both of us!
Affiliates are slightly different than mains in that these are people that I have specifically built the canon of my blog with / around / to include and when I reference one of the characters they write in my blog canon or writing, it is their specific portrayal that I am referencing. I already state it in my rules, but: I am not exclusive. I am happy to interact with duplicates of both my own muse and theirs, regardless.
Let me know if you need anything tagged. Please tag spiders using some form of the arachnophobia tag for me.
Anti-AI. Do not interact if you condone the use of AI in writing, art, or both. You are not welcome here.
Don't steal anything, don't force ships/headcanons, don't godmod/metagame major events without permission. Minor events (ie. assuming my muse accepts something yours offers them) is generally okay. If you're unsure, just check!
Multiverse, multi-ship. Ships in their own verses. The usual.
↳ Marinette has canonical crushes and I will write her as having said crushes. Please do not mistake this for force shipping! Your muse, regardless of who they are, is not required or expected to reciprocate. Yes, I am specifically talking about Adrien and Luka, but it applies to any crush Marinette may have, canon or otherwise.
I'm 34 years old and I don't have the energy to be insecure about playing with Barbies on the internet anymore, so:
↳ I will have mains, but I generally don't do exclusives anymore, including ship exclusivity. This is so my partner(s) and I don't enter into exclusives and get locked out of certain kinds of interactions should one of us go inactive. My ship partners are more than welcome to ship with duplicates of my muse(s).
↳ Affiliates are slightly different than mains in that my affiliates are people that I have specifically built the canon of my blog with / around / to include. When I reference one of the characters they write in my blog canon or writing, it is their specific portrayal that I am referencing. This does not mean I will not interact with duplicates of their muses. Once again, I do not intend to practice exclusivity on this blog. Please don't be afraid to interact because of this!
↳ And on that note, I am duplicate friendly for my own muse as well! I generally won't follow duplicates first for your comfort, but you are more than welcome to follow me! I highly encourage you to hit me up to plot time travel or multiverse shenanigans and twin AUs alike. I will not approach you first for this in any way. Again, this is for your comfort first and foremost. If this is something you want, you must initiate.
↳ Exceptions on all of this may be made for longtime close friends.
Crossover friendly! Easier to do if the universes mesh or you have a modern AU at the ready. If I don't have an AU of my own or am not familiar with your muse's world, plotting is preferred before interacting.
Multimuse friendly as long as there is at least one muse I'm familiar with. I generally won't follow a multi that doesn't have something I'm familiar with. I may follow single-muse blogs that I'm not familiar with. It's easier for me to focus on one thing I don't know about than to try and pick from several things I don't know about.
Mostly OC friendly; you must have basic information at least. Not self-insert friendly due to past experiences. Will not interact with second generation/child-of-canon-parents OCs (friends exempt from this), however this is an OC x Canon safe space and encouraged.
This blog will feature Marinette as an adult, as future Ladybug has been alluded to in the series, and will feature adult Marinette in romantic situations but, again, will not feature sexual NSFW content.
Give me platonic and unrequited ships.
No greeter posts. Plotting preferred over winging it.
I only have access to the beta editor. My graphics and post formatting are tailored to dark mode and I typically make use of small text and colored speech/thought text with icons anywhere between 50px and 100px in size. You are not required to have icons or format in any way when interacting with me.
As I am dash-only, if the search function fails you, you can navigate my blog via my tag drop tag on this post for anything you may need to find.
Graphics featured on this blog were made by me unless otherwise stated.
↳ Icon border was made by vicsmakes ; gfx templates made by Isaworks ; PSD colorings are by gmfioart and wasirauhlpsds.
pipe down with the noise, i cannot bear my sorrow / i hate who i was before / i fear i won't live to see the day tomorrow / someone tell me if this is hell / i gotta escape the void, there is no other choice, yeah / tryna turn off the voices, the void ate me / look at the mess i've done, there is nowhere to run, yeah / holdin' a loaded gun, the void
si je pouvais effacer enfin les erreurs et n'être que moi / par le pass j'ai caché ces marques loin / j'ai tant menti, oui, bien trop de fois / mais j'en ai assez, je veux briller à travers la nuit / car les guerrières sont là et chantent encore / telle est ma vie
for real though, if there's anything that can keep the boundless power of shady and her lucky charm in check, it's monkey's power of disruption. his ability to render her ability completely useless makes him a massive threat to her and i fffffffffucking love it
the path i'm on is a path paved in black. i'm taking that road and i'm not looking back. each twist and each turn leads straight where i'm yearning to go. yes, it's true, my path is dark, but i see where it ends: my rivals will fall as my power ascends. despise me, that's fine, i'm taking what's mine even so.
not like you—you lost your nerve, you lost the game. but you and i, we're not the same. i'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose. so i chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains, lose each weakness that remains now that i have nothing left to lose.
#𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 is an independent, selective, mutuals-only, series-based roleplay blog for Marinette Dupain-Cheng, aka 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐘𝐁𝐔𝐆 / 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 of Zagtoon’s 𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐘𝐁𝐔𝐆 franchise, as charmed by 𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐄! Originally established in 2023 as a side blog, freshly moved to her own solo blog. I'd appreciate if you could give this post a ↺ if you're interested in following to help me find people to follow!
thinking about shadyverse kwami swap. thinking about a situation in which they need to swap miraculouses. thinking about the trust needed between them to be willing to trade and ohhhhhhh my god i feel. insane.
also thinking about like. shady knew claw had been suffering from the rebound of misusing his miraculous and that he'd been covering it up with makeup. "makeup. i should have known." like... zero surprise at all. she made a guess about him because
she's been covering hers, too, under her ascot. if she has rebound effects, logically he should, too. and he does. and they're worse than hers.
when the ascot falls off after she tries to summon gimmi, you can see just how bad it was for her before the attempted summoning made it worse.
...but claw's was already that bad. her making hers worse by trying to summon gimmi just... essentially made her catch up to where he already was. hers was still only ("""only""") at her neck, his had already spread to his face
and that suggests a) he's had his ring longer than she's had her earrings, b) that he uses his powers more than she uses hers, or c) both
where do we go when we no longer have a home? the flowers under the concrete. mom, tell me, where do we go? / where does the heart go when it gets lost in doubts and winters? why do the days look alike? / where does it go— happiness, this fragile thread, when it wobbles and breaks? / mom, tell me beyond the storm there is love, love, love. when the sky opens, everything becomes calm again and everything is fine.
