Gosh so much conceptual choices

Dunno I just think it’s neat to try while trying to draw fanart of
The canon characters

But I still need a plausible narrative device that fits my premise while also respecting the characters staying in character says a lot.

Pony Express policy is dark and annoying.

It’s been forever since I seen the game and grew so attached I want to draw and doodle even if it’s a bit weird to say to the investment as the player for us fans!!!

Basically I have an alive Ai Hoshino fic I created but shelved for now due to reasons.

I am sincerely curious since I plan to binge the series again for inspiration.

I like overfixating outside fan-made interpretations is I prefer watching the PV and reading the quantic kids concept and PV Félix before split into Félix Fathom & Adrien Agreste , same
For Marinette at the time.

Even the villain and how this all works differs is quite interesting to explore and my favorite is always how the black cat somehow changes its meaning and Chat Noir’s motives towards Ladybug in his pursuit.

I know it sounds like it’s me again , but not just me.

Miraculous the Office AU , Discordant Sonata , Bakery Enemies AU , Scarlet Lady , so even my AU not sure if I need to rename that but I just add a subtitle it’s called “Miraculous : Yin and Yang [Remixed AU]”.

I am curious of everyone thoughts between a small fanfic or a ship based fanfic like any of the love square and other characters.

As a fan (still am) and an aspiring creative writer/artist etc. I finally realized the headspace and decisions even if I do not agree it’s due to realize it’s more than one writer voice (obviously) of canon but there’s a lead of the group.

For us fans we have the chance to only either one voice or even if we collab with others to co-write it’s more manageable.

It’s writing priority issues is it? Hey it’s not as bad as a certain show with a love square to drag too long.

My favorite oddly not for the sake of the ship was totally how Marco used to crush on Jackie as somewhere before sidelined and natural.

Where Marco & Star feel like platonic besties.

Another favorite thing is Tom and Marco oddly bonding.

Weirdly , Pony head and Marco on that Turdina trip is funny to remember.

Still archived since it’s old and has my most awkwardly raw writing style when experimenting an oc x canon kind of dynamic but it went beyond that (ironically) that I grew invested it got super slow
to post about it.

Alongside , why wouldn’t I post? The first prologue is only on ao3 but not sure if that’s enough I need 2 more chapters to build my confidence if anyone wants to read it

For context (mild fanfic spoilers for what I wrote).

I renamed my version of Mister Bug and Lady Noire roleswap for my AU Miraculous Fanfic as Spotted Beetle and Minou so uhh….

Ironically , this expands Ladynoir of my interpretation but now all the label I came up with when shipping their role-swap selves as “Mittle” (Spotted Beetle x Minou) basically compare to the camp debut Reflekdoll as a brief use for the premise in the Paris Special for AU variations + episode called Passion I think I recall much as well.

Anyways , finishing this ramble to just ask if this is fine (I enjoy it but I am a writer so uhh reader thoughts?)

Depends if it’s early or not but I am glad to finally debut my AU variation of the designs and such.

To be honest I am invested so please comment here or at ao3 if anyone is interested

I am stuck what to draw for my Omori AU - Konsui anymore since then so….its for traditional art before digital art line-up first

View Poll

Feel free to judge because these are just the ones I covered so far for my Miraculous AU (it all began for the main duo) before other holders - after s6 I decided to renamed the team as “The Miracles”

Here’s a clean design memory sheet for your current AU versions—focused on visual identity, function, and what each element is doing thematically, so you can stay consistent during action scenes.

🐞 Ladybug (Marinette Dupain-Cheng) — AU “Yin & Yang”
Core Visual Identity
A refined, more structured Ladybug design with a slightly “engineered” feel—less playful, more intentional, but still youthful.
Suit Breakdown
Base Suit: Full-body red suit with subtle grey-toned shell texture across the chest

Black Spots: Evenly spaced, cleanly patterned (more precise than chaotic dotting)

Cape: Ladybug-patterned cape that unfurls smoothly and intentionally (not decorative—reads like a stabilizer or motion guide)

Mask:

Red with black spots

Mesh-like refined texture

Goggle-style lens integration

Enhances perception (not just concealment—feels “analytical”)

Hair Shift:

Dark blue hair becomes more structured spirals

Ribbon-like red antenna strands form (Kwami-linked aesthetic cue)

A small ahoge remains as a “human trace”

Gear
Yo-yo: Compact ladybug-shell design at waist

Functions more like a precision tool than a playful weapon

Stronger-than-expected pull force when first activated

Movement Style
Reactive but controlled panic

Improvises protection first, attack second

Uses environment instinctively (shields, redirects, stabilizes people)

Thematic Function
“Creation” as structuring chaos into survival

Emotional translation: fear → responsibility → action

🐱 Chat Noir (Félix Agreste) — AU “Yin & Yang”
Core Visual Identity
Sleeker, more aristocratic feline design—less comedic rogue, more controlled predator energy with playful undercurrent.
Suit Breakdown
Base Suit: Full black leather-like full-body suit

Accents: Dark grey structural detailing (gives “designed armor” impression)

Gloves: Clawed, reinforced, built for grip + impact

Boots: Paw-themed reinforced soles (silent mobility implied)

Belt System:

X-shaped layered structure

Cat-head emblem at center

Tail-like extension with small golden bell

Mask & Face
Full upper-face mask

Neon-green sclera glow

Turquoise irises with slit pupils

Three whisker markings per cheek

Slight feline teeth + subtle ear formation (cat ears integrated into silhouette)

Hairstyle is medium length honey-blonde colored like lion’s mane for a wolfcut to feel fluffy & wavy with bangs to make him more cat-like

Gear
Staff: Sleek dark silver extendable staff

Neon-green paw marking

Magnetically attached at lower back when idle

Used for vaulting, rhythm movement, and spatial control

Movement Style
Fast, instinct-driven precision

Treats terrain like a movement puzzle

Uses humor mid-action, but combat decisions are calculated

Rapid adaptation rather than emotional hesitation

Thematic Function
“Destruction” as controlled deconstruction of barriers

Emotional translation: curiosity → analysis → decisive action

⚖️** Yin & Yang Dynamic (Important for Writing Fights**)
Visual Contrast
Ladybug: red, structured curves, flowing protective motion

Chat Noir: black, sharp lines, angular agility and bounce

Functional Contrast
Ladybug = stabilizes chaos

Chat Noir = disrupts pressure points

Combat Synergy Pattern
She creates openings / safe zones

He exploits timing gaps / destabilizes threats

She protects civilians

He draws aggro and redirects force

⚠️** Key Consistency Anchors (Don’t Lose These Mid-Fight**)
Ladybug’s power feels precision-based creation, not random luck chaos

Chat Noir’s power feels controlled risk-taking, not reckless destruction

Both still retain human hesitation underneath the mask, but:

hers slows decisions

his refines decisions

based on what you established in the chapter text:
Ladybug Miraculous (earrings)
True form: bright red with black spots (classic Ladybug design)

Camouflage form: soft, delicate pink earrings that blend naturally with Marinette’s style

So the shift isn’t just cosmetic—it reduces visual “signal strength,” making it feel like normal jewelry instead of an artifact.

Black Cat Miraculous (ring)
True form: black (linked to Plagg / Cat identity aesthetics)

Camouflage form: an elegant white-gold ring

This is especially important because it does two things at once:
removes the “dark, suspicious artifact” look

reclassifies it as something wealthy/fashionable rather than mystical

Why this detail works so well in your AU
The color shift isn’t just disguise—it’s social camouflage logic:
Ladybug → becomes “cute, wearable fashion accessory”

Black Cat → becomes “luxury jewelry item”

So instead of hiding power through invisibility, the system hides it through recontextualization.
People don’t notice because nothing about the objects violates expectations of what jewelry should look like.

Because as someone who enjoys the lore , canon-adjacent characters spread out besides the lamb themselves.

I wonder if the lamb I can make some HC-adjacent art or snippet like a fanfic idea just because I enjoy and grow attached to my followers (many spouses and loyal ones passed away) before I access necklaces to keep the favorites alive

Preparing for the Mime hehe

Compare to the Movie version on Netflix that’s bearable enough — the 5 seasons before s6 frustrates me (besides the specials just add nail to the coffin).

I am curious how everyone felt because to me the best Gabriel potential was s1-2 and slowly decline by s3 to eventually just be i don’t know the angle of his motives anymore despite its initially sympathetic.

I have a plan to clarify the reason in the future I plan ahead in my Google doc blueprint to guide my AU Miraculous writing.

Unlike the name “Miraculers”
Of s6 no judgement there what the canon does at this point.

I am still exploring my version of s1-2 for now ahem.

I call my AU team called “The Miracles” kinda complement the Miracle Boxes that contain the Miraculouses (the magic jewels themselves) not just the users and moreso they technically perform MIRACLES due to their heroism everyday hehe. Not sure if it’s cooler or not just distinction.
