Chloe and Marinette still clash

But queen bee starts coming around Marinette being real friendly/flirty

Hey! I’m back with the designs for turtle!Marinette and bee!Marinette. I did them both at the same time since last week I did the fox by itself. 

When it came to the turtle I wanted to lean into her Chinese heratige again, but also lean towards a memorial to Fu since I’m sure that’s something Marinette would do. So she got a top that’s like her Kitty Noire one, but also got gi pants (Martial arts pants, free moving and I like the snap they have when you kick.) I also gave her shoulder armour simply because I like the look of it, which is the same reason I changed the shield to bracers.  It really was just because I didn’t want to draw the shield, but when I had given her the bracers in the sketch (which did have the shield) I was drawing some inspiration from Wonder Woman.  Overall, she looks feminine, and yet everything is easy to move in and won’t inhibit her ability to fight. I also don’t know if I spelled her name right, but my other option was Lady Jade.

On the bee I simply don’t like the canon weapon. I think it doesn’t match with the other five and takes too much from Ladybug. All the weapons for the five main miraculous are ones that don’t allow you fast travel (like Ladybug’s yoyo or Chat’s staff) except the bee, which seems off to me. I get the power relies on it having some reach, but still.  So in this design I made the weapon a hammer, with the stingers since, ouch, and it still allows the power to be venom (or even change the power, make it similar to a worker bee and give the hammer some properties like Felix’s hammer from Wreck it Ralph)  Then with her design, I chose to use the half jacket again, but instead of a popped collar, give it some fluff since bees are fluffy and Chloe was cheated out of having some fluff in canon. I did the same to her boots to give more areas with fluff (Her gloves originally had fluff too. I decided against it though) Her pigtails were something I took from Marigold (Zoe-Oneesama’s AU) because I like it, and the fact it actually looks nice (And I don’t have to deal with giving her hair much detail at all) Her markings I thought up on a whim, but I made them sharp since the bee is an attacker. 

a quick thingamawhatsit for @megatraven

i wanna take care of my Megs, okay?

Marinette sighed as her majesty leapt over the apex of yet another building. “Seriously, the akuma isn’t even following us anymore. You can put me down now.” She let Chloe keep the Bee miraculous, the least the blonde could do is not obstruct Marinette’s own superheroism.

Not that she knew Marinette was Ladybug. Sigh.

“Nonsense! I have to keep you safe, Marinette!”

She suddenly cares, how quaint. “At least slow down, Queen Bee. Your face is really red from all this exertion, you must be tired.”

Chloe’s face became even more sanguine at that comment. Was she that unused to physical activity?

Marinette supposed she should not have been surprised.

“Don’t be ridiculous! I’m a superhero! I can handle a little running!”

“Of course, I forgot how amazing you are at – HEY! DON’T DROP ME!”

“Sorry!” The bee heroine scrambled to reaffirm her grip on her classmate. She hooked her slim arms firmly underneath Marinette as she clumsily pulled her over her shoulder.

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.
