For Pride Month, consider this

A Julerose Pro Wrestling AU

Juleka and Rose have a famous rivalry in the Miraculous Wrestling Federation

Juleka is The Mortician (basically Undertaker but as a woman) and her rival Rose is Pastella (enters the stage with a rainbow unicorn horn attached to her head).

Secretly, they're gfs who find it hard to maintain kayfabe (basically stick to your character in public) without blushing.

Lemme know what you'd add and your headcanons

And it works, oh wow does it work.

Anytime her petite girlfriend holds out her hand and says "Come hither, my darling" or "Thou hath witchcraft in thy lips" it turns the tall goth into puddy.

What do you guys think? Anything you'd headcanon or add to this?

A fun little idea I had for Ghoul Squad is that Transylvania (and by extension most vampire cities and the vampires inside Paris and other places) is actually pretty modern, like the places in Weeby's Monstrous AU. It's just that the Constantin family (my version of Couffaine) are retro enthusiasts. Both Ancuta and Jagomir grew up in contemporary vampiric homes and found that boring, so the Count and Countess moved to Paris, got a big creepy castle and raised their children as if they were still in the 1700s. Juleka and Luka like being vintage too, but have taught their parents how to blend in with modern times for certain occasions.

I was also going to mention how annoyed I've been at Juleka's recharacterization making her basically impossible to understand except when she's Reflekta but then, her she is, doing the hard thing for her to do in order to help Mr. Damocles and now I'm all emotional

I still feel most bad for Kaalki (spelled it "Calqui" before looking it up to verify...never had to write that name before :-) ) as every hare-brained scheme of Monarch's now involves him forcibly using that kwami's power because I guess he just can't wait for his evil butterflies to flutter their way on down to their next victim anymore :-)

Also, is Monarch choosing to give former holders of the Miraculous the power of their particular Miraculous on purpose? Juleka as Reflekta gaining Roaar's power in this particular case but I know it's happened before. Monarch never gloats about it so it makes me wonder if it's a coincidence to him but not for the audience.

And now that I think about it, I'm surprised there hasn't yet been an akumatized villain who recognized the essence of their former kwami and used it to un-akumatize themself or attempt to take on Monarch before he snaps away their power...

Also, how fucked up in the head is Lila Rossi? I already know about her role in Season 6 thanks to my friend's daughter not particularly caring about spoilers and just watching YouTube clips of the show. It was this behavior that inspired me to binge (at my level of binging, which is about four episodes in a sitting...two if the show has 47 minute hour-long episodes...probably why I'm never enthusiastic to watch a movie that's more than two hours long - it had better good, dammit!)

Juleka Couffaine

Codename: Doctor Odd (Based on Doctor Strange)

Juleka is following in the footsteps of her heroic and rockstar father Jagged, otherwise known as Sorcerer Supreme, just as her brother Luka is following of his mother Anarka, otherwise known as Burning Fist.

To those who don't know her well, Doctor Odd can come off as aloof and terse. She just has some confidence issues and feels self-conscious about how she speaks, since she has a tendency to mumble. She often meditates to cool her mind.

She's a lot more coolheaded and talkative when discussing magic and mystic powers. Juleka's always willing to learn new spells at the academy and with her father.

Juleka likes to spar with her brother Luka, a.k.a. Chi Punch. He usually wins, but she always likes to be prepared if she's having an off-day spell-wise and needs to go into battle.

Juleka likes popping in to chat with her friends via the sling ring, then quickly popping somewhere else. She's also been trying to control the Cloak of Levitation but isn't quite there yet.

She's incredibly cautious before hero missions, looking over all the possible outcomes in different timelines for the safest one.

Juleka thanks her girlfriend Rose for helping her come out of her shell. The two often snuggle together, staring out into the depths of space.

Juleka Couffaine

Codename: Feline Shadow (Based on Catwoman)

Juleka was born to a single mother alongside her fraternal twin Luka. They lived on a little houseboat docked at the Seine. The only reason they were able to scrape by were due to anonymous child support payments made once-a-month. (It turned out to be Jagged Stone, and Juleka responded by stealing his precious guitar pick.)

One month, there was a delay in payments, and 10-year-old Juleka decided that she needed to fix that. She began pick-pocketing with her brother Luka, using the proceeds to pay Anarka's bills. They passed it off as earnings from odd jobs.

She soon worked her way up to robberies, creating the alter ego of Feline Shadow. She'd use her catlike reflexes and help from alley cats to break into banks and steal from the rich. It soon became not just about getting financial help for her mother, but about the thrill of the chase. She found that Grey Bat (Jess) was her favorite to annoy.

She and Luka, going under the codename of Shadow Snatcher, were soon put into DC's reform class after they tried to nab earnings from an XY concert. Not that they minded, as they now had a bunch of new friends and more opportunities to get the shiniest and most valuable items with some added muscle and magic.

Juleka often puts on a facade of being alluring, elegant and confident when in costume as Feline Shadow. Around her closest friends, she becomes a lot more shy and reserved, finding it hard to speak up. Music therapy really helped her become more truly confident.

Juleka and Rose, a.k.a. Thorn, actually were close before DC. They both had huge crushes on eachother. Juleka would give her pretty gifts at the Lavillant plant shop and Rose would give her intel on new places to steal from. After they met again in the school, they became inseparable and Juleka refuses to steal paper money as it's made of trees.

The Couffaine Twins still financially support their mom, but also have little contests to see who can steal the most in a single day. Juleka brags that she's the better thief since she doesn't need fancy tech or shadow powers.

She really loves cats, and cares for a whole bunch of them alongside Rose's sentient plants. They treat the cats and plants as their children.
