Finally finished Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts!
It was a fun show, always has been, and it had a nice ending. Though there is one thing that bothered me…
Why were there so many deaths that were shoehorned in? Like who’s bloodlust was not satiated by the mob frog’s and other Dave’s deaths?
Cause first if all why were all the de-muts not re-mutated? What happened to Song making a vaccine? There’s no mention of it after they get supplies for it and then after the time skip there’s still normal animals! Like what???
And then Hugo died. Somehow? I genuinely don’t understand how he was hurt enough to die. Like he was throwing humans around left right and center at the coronation! He survived getting buried in rumble as a teen! How did getting flicked by a mega mut end him? He even had his flamingo car to take the hit/fall!
Like I do actually kinda like that they didn’t just kill off Dr. Emilia. But also it would have been way better to just kill her instead.
Her death has way more potential for making sense. She could have had severe side effects from the shot she gave herself on account of wanting to still look as human as possible as a mut. A building could have comedically fallen on her after her attempt to stab Kipo.
Not to mention there’s no way she’s still alive when the time skip happens. There were bones in the old science burrow. And it’s unlikely Fun Gus would understand the concept of giving his ‘buddy’ and break or feeding her.
So there was no point in not killing her off if the show needed a death that bad!
But yeah it feels like someone decided the series ended too happily and they needed more perma deaths. So they swept the vaccine under the rug and decided redemption equals death.

So, It’s not very good, but this is my first real contribution to the fandom. It’s kind of supposed to be like the mirror? But without any people? I’m working on another version that should be longer, and I think I like the new one better.

I recently finished the first chapter of my Miraculous Ladybug fanfic but unfortunately, I’m not able to post it anywhere else yet so I’m posting it here.
It’s about Lora Powter and her kwami Yipps, Lora is 14 and American. Her and her team reside in the DC area.
I’ve put the entire first chapter below. I’ve had no one beta read it for me so if anyone is interested in being a beta reader, please let me know!
Miraculously American
“Relocated?” Lora asked incredulously at dinner that night. “To where?”
“Paris.” Her mom replied as she set out the dinner dishes.
“Paris. As in Paris, Texas?” Lora crossed her fingers as she turned to get silverware from the drawer in the kitchen.
“No, Paris, France.” Her mom went back to the stove and started to dish out Ravioli.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.” She added after a few minutes of silence. Lora slowly sank into the chair at the kitchen counter. Lora wasn’t sure what to say, what to think, anything. She just felt numb. Her and her mother sat in silence for most of dinner before Lora finally came back enough to get some more information.
“When do we have to leave?” She mumbled into her plate
“At the end of July.” That was only 2 months away! How was she going to explain this to her friends, or even harder, her team. For hiding in her pocket, was a small fairy. Her kwami, Yipps. Yipps was like a very small beagle puppy. A puppy that could fly and transform her into a superhero with magical powers. Her along with 4 other teens, her team.
As soon as the dinner dishes were cleared away, Lora disappeared into her room and locked the door. She flopped onto her bed and pulled her laptop towards her. She opened the chat widow for her team and typed a short message:
L: Full patrol tonight. Mandatory.
She closed her laptop and looked up to see Yipps hovering in front of her, finishing off a hot dog.
“C’mon Yipps, we’re going out early.” It was only 6:30 which left another hour before the patrol would start.
“We’re going out an hour early?” Yipps cocked his head worriedly. “Won’t your mom come in to check on you?”
“Nah, she’ll figure that I want to be alone to talk to my friends about the-” Lora stopped short. She couldn’t say the word. That would make it too real. Yes, she had moved before, a lot. But she hadn’t had so much to leave behind before. She’d met Yipps only 3 weeks after moving to the DC area. That was almost exactly 1 year ago. Suddenly, a horrible thought came to her. “Yipps?”
“Yeah, Lora?”
“Do you- That is, can we-” Lora stuttered to a stop, staring at the small brown dog floating in front of her face. She held out her hands and Yipps settled into her palms. He snuggled against her fingers and she scratched his little velveteen ears. She couldn't imagine having to move away without him.
“I haven’t ever had one of my pups move away before. At least not this far. We might want to check in before the patrol tonight.” Yipps said as if reading Lora’s mind. Lora breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Yipps rose back into the air and Lora stood up from the bed.
“Alright. Yipps, Tail Up!” She called as Yipps zipped into the small paw print clip tying back her red curls. The now familiar warmth and light surrounded her as her transformation swirled up her body. Her t-shirt and jeans disappeared in favor of a skin tight leather costume in a tricolor pattern that matched Yipps' own coloring. Her glasses were replaced with a brown mask that covered everything from her hairline down to the tip of her nose with was black with a brown streak down the middle. Her black high tops turned into boots with marks on the top to look like toes and a paw print on the bottom. Brown ears flopped down from the top of her head to hang down by her ears and a slender tail with a white tip sprouted from where her tail bone was. She breathed a sigh as the transformation finished and the golden light faded away. She checked the lock on her bedroom door before opening her window and climbing out on the fire escape. She scaled it with ease until she was standing on the top of her brownstone's roof, looking out over the capital.
"First things first, let's warm up" And with that, she was off. Running over rooftops on all fours letting the wind whip through her hair and her ears, carrying her thoughts back with it. After she'd gotten a dozen or so blocks away from her home she pulled her communicator from her hip and pulled up the GPS to find the Master's house. She was only a few blocks away so she took off towards a condo complex. She landed quietly on the roof of a house on the edge of the complex. She checked the area quickly before leaping to a nearby tree and heading down to the ground. She let herself in through the back door.
"Master?" She called as she slid the sliding door closed and released her transformation. "Master are you here? It's Lora, we need to ask you something."
Suddenly a woman in her mid forties poked her head into the small kitchen. She was african american with black curls that she kept cut very close to her head. She had light brown eyes that widened when she met Lora's green ones.
"Lora! How lovely to see you dear! Come on in, I'll have Charlie put a few Hot Dogs in for Yipps." The woman ducked back out of the room and started walking down the hall, evidently looking for Charlie. Yipps settled himself on the marble countertop next to the microwave and Lora headed into the brightly lit living room. Master Deana lived with her daughter Charlie who was 10 and already had a Miraculous even though she wasn't allowed to transform. Charlie had gotten her Miraculous 2 months ago which prompted the Guardian to inform Deana of who her daughter would become. Deana decided to become a Guardian herself to be able to keep an eye on Charlie and her kwami, Tammias. Even though the pair couldn’t transform, didn’t mean they didn’t get into plenty of trouble. Lora had just settled herself on the couch when a crash could be heard from down the hall, a small girl and a reddish blur can streaking into view.
“Charlie! Tammias!” Deana called in a reprimanding tone. The two came to a halt and the red blur was revealed to be a small red squirrel. The girl grimaced as her mother came down the hall with her arms crossed. Charlie peeked an eye open and saw Lora sitting on the couch.
“Lora!” She cried as she ran over. “What are you doing here? Mom, why didn’t you tell me she was here? Is Yipps here? Where is he? Did you have to transform to get here? I’ll bet he’s tired. I know! I’ll go heat up some Hot Dogs!” Charlie ran into the kitchen, Tammias zipping in right behind her.
“Charlie!” Deana yelled after her daughter’s retreating back. “This isn’t over young lady!” Deana sighed before turning back to Lora.
“So, what brings you around, Lora?” Deana said, sitting on the coffee table and resting her elbows on her knees.
“Well, Yipps and I-uh… I mean, I was-um…” Lora rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly and felt her cheeks heat up. Deana looked at her quizically but didn’t push. Lora took a deep breath and trained her gaze on her sneakers. “I’m moving. Mom’s been relocated to Paris.”
“Paris, Texas?” Deana asked hopefully.
“No. Paris, France. We leave at the end of July.” Lora said in a deadpan, gaze still glued to her shoes.
“Oh, Lora.” Deana said with a sympathetic sigh.
“Yipps said that he’s never had a-uh…” Lora wasn’t quite sure how to phrase her problem without it sounding too weird.
“I’ve never had a holder of my Miraculous move so far away before.” Yipps settled himself on Lora’s knee, the back end of a hot dog in his tiny paws. “We weren’t sure what would happen since the Guardian in charge of my Miraculous would be so far away.” Yipps finished his hot dog and laid a comforting paw on Lora’s knee, turning to look at her as he did. Lora could feel the telltale pinpricks of tears behind her eyes and she squeezed them shut. Willing the tears not to fall. That was the last thing she needed right now.
“I-I couldn’t imagine moving so far away without him.” Lora choked out. “Bu-but I understand if I have to gi-give up the Miraculous.” A tear slid between her lids and rolled down her cheek. Yipps flew up and wiped it away with one paw, tears shining in his own big brown eyes.
“Oh Mom! You won’t make her give up the Miraculous, will you?” Charlie had entered the room again, Tammias curled up on her shoulder. Charlie herself looked on the verge of tears.
“What? I- Of course not! I mean, I’ll have to check with the other Guardian to see what can be done for you in Paris.” Deana waved her hands around frantically.
“Well let’s go see him right now!” Charlie wiped her tears away and Tammias lifted off her shoulder. “Lora and me can transform and-”
“No transforming!” Lora and Deana cried at the same time. Lora blushed a deeper shade of red.
“We’ll take the car.” Deana said, rising from her seat and searching for her keys. Yipps patted Lora on the cheek and went to go help in the search. “And that’s final young lady.” She said as she turned around, keys in hand to start looking for her phone. Yipps came out of a room down the hall lugging the phone and they all headed out to the car.
It took almost 30 minutes to drive to the other Guardian’s house. It was a small suburban house just on the outskirts of town with a neatly trimmed front lawn and a fresh coat of white paint. The Guardian was an old asian man named Morton Douglas. He was the one who gave out all the Miraculous even though he didn’t possess one himself anymore. Master Douglas was very formal and very unlike Deana in many ways. His house was always very neat and tidy to the point where it felt more like a museum at times than a home. Deana and Charlie’s home on the other hand was organized chaos, warm and inviting. Deana encouraged the team to drop in anytime and to just relax around her. But Master Douglas was very strict about manners and did not like to be disturbed often.
As the car pulled up, the kwami hid in Charlie’s hoodie pocket. Lora was the last out of the car. She didn’t care much for Master Douglas and visited him as little as possible. He didn’t seem to approve of her mother being in the armed forces or of her being a single parent. While Lora was used to people judging her mother, that didn’t mean that she liked it.
“Come on Lora,” Deana sighed, looking apprehesivly at the house. “Let’s get this over with so you can go on patrol with the others.” The 5 of them made their way up the walk and rang the doorbell. It opened a few minutes later to reveal Master Douglas. His white hair was close cut and his mustache neatly trimmed. He wore a blue polo shirt tucked into his beige slacks. He pushed his glasses up a bit higher on the bridge of his long, pointed nose and surveyed the group.
“Good Evening, Master Douglas.” Deana said, placing her hands together and bowing slightly, Lora and Charlie following suit. “We are sorry to call at this late hour, but we have something to discuss with you. May we please come in?”
“Wipe your feet and follow me then.” Master Douglas turned and led them into the living room. “Please have a seat.” He gestured to a long couch with pale blue stripes while he settled himself in a matching armchair. He crossed his legs and rested his elbows on the arms of the chair, interlacing his fingers in front of him as he leaned back. Lora, Charlie, and Deana sat carefully on the couch.
“What did you wish to discuss?” Master Douglas asked.
“Well, earlier this evening Lora came to me with some unhappy news,” Deana started, glancing at Lora.
“Hmm?” Master Douglas looked at Lora with a pentrating gaze. Lora looked down at her shoes. “And what was this news, Ms. Powter?”
“Sir, my mother has informed me that we will be moving to Paris, France at the end of July.” Lora said carefully.
“I see.” Master Douglas didn’t seem fazed by this news.
“Master Douglas,” Deana cut in. “We were wondering about her Miraculous.”
“What about it?”
“We were wondering what would happen to it.”
“What would happen to it?” Master Douglas blinked at Deana in confusion. “I don’t understand.”
“Can she take Yipps with her or not?” Charlie blurted.
“Charlie!” Deana stared at her daughter in disbelief.
“Hmm… Paris, you said Ms. Powter?” Master Douglas ignored Charlie’s outburst.
“Y-yes, sir.” Lora was taken aback.
“Hmm… Excuse me for a moment, please.” Master Douglas got up and left the room.
“Charlie, you need to mind your manners with Master Douglas.” Deana snapped as soon as he was out of the room.
“I’m sorry, Mom but I hate having to beat around the bush with him. It takes so long and it’s so boring!” Charlie whined. Yipps flew out of Charlie’s pocket.
“Your mother’s right, Charlie.” He said. “You have to be careful with what you say to Master Douglas. He already doesn’t approve of someone so young having a Miraculous.”
“But-” Charlie protested.
“Sh, he’s coming back.” Lora said just as Master Douglas came back into the room carrying a large, fairly old, book. He carefully set it down on the coffee table between them.
“This is a record of all the Guardians in the world.” Master Douglas explained as he started to flip through it. “If my memory is correct, then there should be a Guardian in Paris. Ah! Here he is, Master Fu also known as Jade Turtle. I believe he currently possesses the turtle Miraculous, a kwami by the name of Wayyz. He is in charge of 7 Miraculous in total. The turtle, the fox, the bee, the peacock, the moth, the ladybug, and the black cat Miraculous.
“I will contact him to see what can be done about your situation and whether or not he thinks that he could take on your Miraculous.”
“Thank you Master Douglas!” Lora smiled and bowed.
“Oh, thank you Master!” Yipps floated up and bowed his over large head as well.
“Yes, yes.” Master Douglas closed the book. “Now I believe it is almost seven. Patrols will start soon.”
“Oh, yes you’re right Master Douglas.” Deana checked the clock on the mantle. “We should be going. Thank you so much for your help Master.” Deana rose and bowed, Lora poked Charlie in the side to get her to stand too and they both thanked Master Douglas and bowed before being showed out.
“Lora, you’ll be quicker transformed.” Deana said as they reached the car.
“Right! Yipps, tail up!” Lora cried and the transformation took hold once more in a flash of golden light. She reached down and uncoiled the brown leather whip from her waist. “Thank you for your help, Deana!” She called as she cracked the whip and secured the end of it around a nearby chimney before swinging off into the growing darkness.
