a slightly different way to approach luck and misfortune powers?

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

do you have any fanfic recs?

YEAH i do!

And also can people put fanfic recs in the comments of this ask?? So we get even more recs. THANKS!

here's some of mine:

Metamorphosis by @peachcitt - Its been a couple years since they defeated hawkmoth, chat noir is gone. I read this earlier this year and it was SO good, just deliciously dramatic, and it destroyed me. but like in a fun way :)

Tell me something I don't know by @marimbles - it's marichat. do you want to have fun? don't lie to me, I know you do. this one is so funny and sweet

Final Girl by @picayunearts - AU where marinette turns down the ladybug role. this one got to me deeply. listen im unlikely to ever tattoo a quote on my body but if i DID im not saying it WOULDNT be from this fic.

As time goes by, by @redundant-lava - its like if casablanca was even MORE dramatic and romantic and also starred your blorbos.

Under Oath by @eoscenes - Gabriel is unmasked and everyone is dealing with the aftermath. This one takes some of the season 4 drama between ladybug and chat noir and gives it a real play-out, I read this one when it was half-finished and just loved it, I haven't caught up but it looks like its finished so i WILL be going back. join me :)

Happy Anniversary Surprises by @ming85 - short and so so so sweet!!

Double Entendre by speaks, I don't know their tumblr - no intro, just go check it out. man I just love this one, so fun and such a good reveal.

Sting by KryallaOrchid, I don't know their tumblr - Adrien loses the cat miraculous and gets ahold of the bee miraculous so he can keep helping - but ladybug is NOT having it with the new partner. an oldie and a romp!! lovesquare identity shenanigans galore. have some fun.

anything @buggachat has written is good, and i've loved so many of @coffeebananas works, so go browse both of those authors.

A bunch of others but i cant list them all so im leaving off here!! Tell your favs in the comments. whats good out there?

i am like a tiny little creature. collcting precanon material like shiny baubles and bringing it back to my "nest" in the #concept-materials chat at the felinette discord

here have an isolated picture of the Chat Noir ring from way back before PV

"two bodyguards drag me away" has been my fav way to finish insane sentences, its up there with "who said that", "can anyone hear me", "is this thing on" and "its so dark in here"

Another doodle batch, and its the batch where i realised how much ive been drawing them offscreen

someone should write saiki k ff of the illusionist x nedous mum and have an inspiration be the song just an illusion and then they give an explanation in the beginning about how hes singing the high notes becuz hes a bottom

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

I always love Marichat side in the love square because it’s the side where they can be dork together but for the PV version… The dynamic could be a bit different, I think.

Felix become Chat Noir to gain the freedom from the curse that he has on him and as far as the canon PV goes, that’s all his motivation to become Chat Noir : Get close to Ladybug so he can get kiss from her to free him from the curse.

This is why I think his “extraness or cheerfulness” when being Chat Noir isn’t all genuine like Adrien does therefore, the way he approach Bridgette also different.

I have a HC where in Felix’s eyes, Bridgette is a crime magnet, one that constantly make him frustrated because “How in the world she always find herself in this place, time and situation???????!” (Lol) But she’s the frustration that he just can’t ignore, not only because she’s his classmate but also because she always help him in school so he’s??? In short of debt???? (He does care for her, he just doesn’t want to admit it)

So time and time again, Chat Noir need to keep this girl, who’s badluck somehow always led her to this situation (it’s not lmao), out of trouble and I can imagine he just vent all his frustation at her and be like :

“I am the black cat, but why, WHY, HOW can you have more bad luck than me?????????” (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

And Bridgette, being can’t tell the cat the real reason why she /need/ to be there could only be like :

“Because… I’m a bad luck champion?” (• ▽ •;)

For Bridgette seeing Chat Noir being all grumpy is a side that she never see before because for all she know, Chat Noir is a catsanova who always have terrible time to flirt and a jokester, basically your typical class clown. Sure he can be sweet at times but grumpy? Chat Noir? Grumpy? Grumpy Chat Noir, who??????? It feels like alien take over his body and it baffle her at first but the more she see it, the more she find this side of him is interesting. Because as it turns out not only this cat could be grumpy, he also… Pretty socially awkward??? Also he’s not that extra with her??? Huh??? Where’s that catsanova act?? And she find Chat Noir is more fun to hang out with when he’s not dial up his dramatical extraness. Soon, they become a friend’s.

It’s funny how she think he tried to act cool and by cool she meant cool, like Felix kind of cool? Sometimes he tries to act distance but always fail at it. He said he won’t help her again if he find her near the crime scene next time, he he save her anyway, even get hurt because of it. He said he won’t come again after that one time she share the left over pain au chocolat, but he did come again to play. He really is like a cat and she like him his company! Yup! He’s definitely a nice companion to have, but her heart is only for Felix.

BROOO NOOOO U GOT IT???!?!!??

music can’t save you from this one, luka

(LISTEN to me, zag. LISTEN to me. this is a JOKE. this is a CRACK prediction of where season 4 is headed. this isn’t an ACTUAL prediction. you hear me? this isn’t… ACTUALLY what i think is going to happen. because it wont. …right? right????)
