let’s say we take the “good luck” “bad luck” thing literally. as in, their powers are literally just extreme good luck and bad luck like in the really early concepts. meaning, no power based weapon.
i think this will make their fights much more interesting.
like for example, as long as chat noir keeps a villain close, bad things will happen to both of them. when a sign falls onto them, ladybug can pull chat noir away. her good luck cancels out his bad, so they’re both saved, except for the villain. of course a villain isn’t so easily defeated like that, but it sure as hell is comedic and would catch the villain off guard, leaving them wide open for more attacks.
another example, a 2 on 1 close range battle. chat noir’s bad luck will make his attacks clumsy, but this narrows down the villain’s range of motion and allow ladybug an increased opportunity to hit him.
imo, bad luck feels more like an offence type of power, while good luck feels like a mix of both offence and defence. this makes chat noir more of the “brute force” while ladybug more of a silent defender as well as the secret ace.
it’s definitely a lot more difficult to come up with fight sequences. but it’s gna be more unique.
possible power ups include: controlling how large the area their powers affects, controlling how much luck/ misfortune is in the output, concentrating their luck/ misfortune into spheres to bless/ curse objects.
ladybug can bless people to save them, bless weapons for enhanced strength and impact. on the other hand, chat noir can curse villains for them to falter, and their weapons to make them malfunction.
ladybug can take it one step further and also make her blessing pills become (legal) body enhancers, increasing overall aim and accuracy.
i think this ties in neatly into the early concept that the more ladybug and chat noir can control their emotions, the more they can control their powers. this gradual increase of power ups is actually just an increased control rather than stupid nonsensical potions that seem to be made for convenience’s sake.
furthermore, this can amp up the tension during climax fights. when theyre triggered by certain things, their power fails and can even backfire on them. and the thing is, you don’t know when and what they’ll get affected by. keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats.
and i can just imagine the climax of the entire show. richard severely injures chat noir, sending ladybug into a blind rage. but this makes her powers fail, and no matter how much she tries, she cannot make them work again as long as her emotions are out of control. then richard stands before her, saying: “look, this is why emotions are useless. because with them, you cannot protect anyone. with them, you’re nothing but useless.” (which can be a callback to how he lost his wife. his emotional side made him lose her maybe.) but in the end ladybug wins because she puts into practice the art of zen that grandpa fu taught her. which is a state of extreme calmness. this causes her full powers to be unlocked. it’s no longer “good luck”, she can manipulate the future to her favour with a 99.9% chance 😱😱
okay as much as i’m just bullshitting this as i write, i mean how cool is that?
miraculous should hire me to be in the writer’s room frfr
I haven’t drawn a lot lately and thought this funny expression meme by @capochiino would be a good way to get back to it.
I changed Bri’s expressions a little bit because I don’t picture her to show annoyance to someone who just… can’t help being annoying.

Marchesa Balbi, c. 1623 Anthony van Dyck
While I drafting for my fictober fic I has this question suddenly popped out in my mind : “How would marichat in PV version work?”
So… I think it’d be nice if somehow Chat Noir always find Bridgette near the crime scene and it happened so often that he nicknamed her a “crime magnet”.
(she just trying to find a way to transform but it seems like her bad luck attract the black cat???
Cue
Bri, Everytime Chat Noir manage to find her even though she’s sure she’s well hidden : “JENDJSOSJSJS” )
Hi my name is Marinette Dark'ness Dupain Raven Cheng and I have shoulder length black hair with a pink streak tied in two ponytails and a lot of people tell me I look like Shadybug (AN if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Adrien Agreste but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm half Chinese but my eyes are blue. I have pale white skin. I'm also half French and I live in Paris with my parents in a apartment on top of their bakery. I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black and pink. I love fashion and I make most of my clothes myself. For example today I was wearing ripped pink jeans, a white t-shirt, a black jacket and black boots, with black fishnet fingerless gloves and a black and pink ascot. I was walking to school. It was raining and thundering, which I was very happy about. Chloe and her friends stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
Another doodle batch, and its the batch where i realised how much ive been drawing them offscreen
Bridgette Cheng/Ladybug
Bridgette Cheng is a normal teenager who lives with her grandmother Mei Cheng in an apartment above the family tea shop Dynastie du Lóng in Paris. She is bubbly, high-spirited, creative, compassionate, optimistic, determined and a bit of a daydreamer, with a smile that will warm the coldest of hearts. Being an artist at heart, she enjoys graphic design and drawing, often doing commissions for her friends. Despite her genki nature, she is also clumsy and suffers from bad luck, but always manages to bounce back from any kind of mishap. Bridgette has developed a crush on her aloof classmate, Félix Agreste, often trying to find a way to talk to him and befriend him…
After finding a strange jewelry known as the Ladybug Earrings and meeting the Kwami of Fortune, Tikki, Bridgette gains the ability to transform into Ladybug - a superheroine with the power of good luck. As the protector of Paris, Ladybug is confident, tenacious, hard-working and determined to fulfill her superhero duties and make sure to defeat any villain that threatens the city. Aside from her good luck charm, Ladybug can transform her compact into various weapons (like a staff, shield, yo-yo and even wings) that aid her in her fights. She needs to remain careful when she uses her good luck charm, though, as selfish use of it can result in her being punished by bad luck. She is also joined by the black cat superhero Chat Noir, developing a partnership with him and being often exasperated by his attempts at flirting with her.
Félix Agreste/Chat Noir
Félix Agreste is the nephew of the famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste and has moved in with him after the death of his mother, Michelle Agreste. Cold, calm, snarky and standoffish, Félix tends to keep to himself; causing his classmates to perceive him as snobbish, rude and arrogant, resulting in the nickname ‘Ice Prince’. He is often seen reading a book, seemingly ignorant of his surroundings. Despite his icy barrier, he is actually quite observant, smart and athletic, with a passion for reading, writing, karate and playing the violin. In spite of his attempts to avoid social interaction, he often finds himself in situations where he interacts with his fellow classmate, Bridgette Cheng…
After finding a jewelry known as the Ring of the Black Cat and meeting the Kwami of Misfortune, Plagg, Félix gains the ability to transform into Chat Noir - a superhero with the power of bad luck. After finding out that he had been cursed by having bad luck (and only gaining good luck if he uses his powers for selfish purposes), Félix becomes determined to find a way to cure his bad luck curse. As Chat Noir, he has a chance meeting with Ladybug, attempting to flirt with her and charm her into giving him the kiss that would free him from his curse, only to fail. Undeterred, he becomes her partner, showing that, despite his reluctance, he is still a competent fighter, using his cat-like reflexes, claws and the power to create dark energy projectiles to support Ladybug in her quest of protecting Paris. Playful, sarcastic and mischievous, Chat is more than willing to help out Bug against any threat.
