if plagg and tikki appear like actual cats and butterflies, does that mean that marinette just kinda has a goat sitting in her bedroom? :)
They will manifest as whatever is less disruptive to the holder's lifestyle and surroundings, so Ziggy mostly presents as a plushie to match Marinette!
She has a big goat mode and a keychain plushie form too.

i love ur lets go karaoke art!! just curious, have you read Onna no Sonno no Hoshi (hoshi of the girls’ garden) by the same mangaka?? it so good as well :3c
yessss!!!!!!! i love onna hoshi omgggggg
i really wish it was published in english i would recommend it to everyone i know it's just so enjoyable. one of those reads that'll always put you in a good mood yknow
the tears that streamed down my face the first time reading the photoshop chapter bro i was laughing soooo hard
So how would the powers differ from the original universe? I’m assuming Mau Abyss would participate more in de-akumatizing the villian but I want to hear what you’ve done. I really like your gambit AU :)
To make it more interesting, I made so everyone too can eventually unlock more powers and alternative uses as they go too. Specifics changes from character to character and their style. :]
But about Mau Abyss and Akumas.
During deakumatization, getting rid of the Akuma is his job. Destroying magical objects is a perk of the cat miraculous so he's able to destroy the butterfly without any effort as long as he's as he's close in strength to the Butterfly holder. It also means he can break things like lucky charms and render them useless. There are other ways to deal with akumas, but he's the first and most reliable way they found. No insect is harmed as Akumas are 100% magical here.
Because of that, Akumas also have the little quirk where they will vanish if the emotion they feed on is gone. So in cases the victim breaks the conextion itself, it will be gone without having to be destroyed!
I did it this way because it opens opportunities to shenanigans and them being able to deal with akumas individually. Or, yk. Certain things happening without needing to erase the timeline every time.
Other sillier updates from the older post:
Weapons can be changed as long the core object still there. Child holders are simply nerfed and aren't strong enough to do much beyond splitting them in 2 or changing size. But they get creative with it tho. I really like the Rooser's pen, it's used both as a darts in its normal size, and as a big fountain pen, used as a sword/plolearm.
Suits are able to be changed anytime. There's a few special occasion, one-off, suits for fun. BUT, not completly RIP to powerups. Rare occasions. If they transform with a foreign object, it will be dragged into the transformation with it.
"Define foreign object" Exemple: In my little script for Timebreaker, when they get dragged into the fight, Nathaniel is wearing skates. The magic isn't sure if it should vanish them, so Crimson gets his own pair of skates enhanced for this occasion. Alix will intentionally do this a bunch too. But general rule: If it can't be qualified as "outfit", or the holder doesn't intend getting rid of it, then it's part of the suit now.
They will abuse this oversight of what the magic gets or not rid to deal with certain things. Frozer with ice skates for exemple. But sometimes is purely "wouldn't It be fun if" scenarios, nothing ground breaking. It's no astro suits.
Them having to leave some of their stuff behind, to not waste time and energy transforming it too, reminds me of Amazing Spiderman where Peter keeps leaving his shoes on random rooftops because he can't use shoes with the suit kaksksk
hiiiii i was wondering if in your au using a miraculous changes your personality at all when you're transformed?? like is marc as mau abyss *actually* more stoic/serious or is he just a reeaalllyyyy good actor?
Ahhh, the lobotomy liquid courage thing.
Yes, yes it does! It's a side effect from the "ideal version of themselves" aspect of the transformation. It ranges from just a little bit to completely rewiring their personality based on what they want their persona to be. Whatever makes the job easier. They are aware of this too (at least on a subconscious level).
The original personality can occasionally peek out too, purely dictated by shenanigans. It's just fun as fuck to play around. (Specially if you like drama of civilian/hero dichotomy.)

Man Alya gives me Carmen Sandiego vibes, please tell me she has an arc of unmasking Hawkmoth or smth
She's so Carmen Sandiego yessss.
Gambit Alya is a bit of an impartial party because she believes truth always comes first, therefore she's curious about both the heroes and the villains identities and that they should both be known. But she's definetly working 10x harder in busting the butterfly holder behind the scenes because fuck them.
At first her big deal is discecting akumas and how they work because it's something nobody, not even Nath and Marc, know. And she DOES, she's the first one to do a public awknowlegent that akumas feed on negative emotions with evidence to back it up. But after that (and both Anansi and Sapotis), it's full on butterfly hunting season.
1. Which of the super hero team overstep on their anger leading to hurt Crimson's feelings (knowing they tired their best on tolerating him) and what was the outcome after that?
2. When or How did Abyss realized he developing feelings for Crimson?
3. Was there a point where Crimson felt a little depressed after certain things? If so, how did handle that? (I yern for good hurt comfort pls)
These are rly hard to answer without spoiling things I have on works or don't feel are concrete enough to share. Sorry but I'll dance around them and be vague this time!
1.
You guys are only privy to Abybug until now, but once it gets to the other guys it will be obvious of who take issues with his passive-agressiveness and who is joking back at him. Most issues are lighthearted and caused by clash of personalities, rarely a deeper reason, so they solve it by taking jabs at eachother and will have cooled off by the time akuma fighting is done. There are recurrent offenders (Snake), but if they're still listening to Crimson then shame on them.
Fights only escalate to yelling matches, dissing and cold shoulders until they come to a settlement. The whole team is comprised of goody-two-shoes or people already in anger management, max they will do is "accidents" in battle and badmouthing. Crimson is ignored by a few of them after certain things, but like, so is Mau Abyss, and it's mostly for comedy sake.
2.
Won't talk abt the exact when. But the how is just a change in perspective because of how Crimson handled certain situations. Marc likes his boys competent and a bit miserable, and everything after Queen Bee is in that realm. It's also when his public good boy mask starts slipping and Crimson gets closer to Nathaniel's actual personality, which is more endearing.
3.
Yeaahhh, a few of them, and his favorite way to deal with it is moping in his room. If he's going to plunge into a (often bad) plan on how to fix it, or keep retelling facts to someone who's better with feeling to see if they agree with him, depends on what it was. Nathaniel is not above using miraculous for selfish reasons, but he avoids using Crimson Bug to solve these kinds of issues so his public image remains perfect.
My fave is his threats of quitting to Tikki, he does the Adrien Agreste special everytime he's mildly annoyed at superhero life.
Btw. Hurt comfort with Nath/Crimson are few and far between. You guys shouldn't see Gambit Nath as a poor little meow meow (Idk how else to express this patheticness) and more as a guy who's anguish is mostly self-made because he keeps repeating isolating and hostile behavior as a defensive mechanism. It's often his fault AND he's stubborn as hell to be vulnerable about the results upsetting him. But see it this way. When it happens, it will be a big thing.
(I'm rly harsh on AU Nath but it's because I love him ksksk)
what would you say might be different in terms of personality for nath and marc in your gambit au compared to canon and/or the fandom perception of canon ?? (sorry if you've already answered an ask similar to this)
I like joking that everyone is a slightly worse version of themselves in the AU.
But Nathaniel and Marc, specifically, are me interpreting and exageraring traits they shown through the show so they can have more stage presence + consequences of protagonism (to make good traits pop more if you want to get technical). Marcaniel both get a massive confidence and independence boost because of the thrill of superhero life, which gets them to be more proactive. It's that first domino that will change everything else.
I got around 5 episode of them with speaking roles to work with, I'm milking everything I can.
About fandom depictions. I see many people only giving Marc bad personality traits that can be spun into cute and good intentioned (shy, clumsy, yk, Boyfailure). They're also here, it just isn't enough for me to enjoy writing him long term. So I'm having fun with his brand of "I'm the only rational one here" superiority he thinks he has over other people. He's a show off if given the chance, he's a people pleaser and shoves his own wants aside because he's afraid of disappointing people, even if it's bad people, it also means he often fantasises about being more selfish and snarky when left alone.
I also try to avoid making him Marinette 2. It's a very easy pit to fall into because they share similarities (since Marcaniel, in the show, is essencially set up to reflect aspects of adrianette).
Gambit Nath is very on par with one of his popular characterizations for saga 1, tho. Bunch of issues, emotionally distant, blunt, sarcastic, but still a good person despite everything. I'm not doing anything new.
I love the themes of putting yourself first and being selfish isn't inherently bad, and being vulnerable isn't a sign of weakness. How they have one figured out but not the other. So everything goes to fit these 2 personal themes across the AU.
They get closer to their s6 personalities as the story progresses because I think it still the natural evolution of their personalities, even with AU events. It will simply takes some time :]
