Hello kibastray,

The art you see of the Garden Guards is made by artist Asterisk Kome (twitter, bluesky, pixiv). From what I can tell, admittedly I use Google Translate to understand their posts, it does appear to be a series of artbooks. I'd tell you their deal in detail were it not for the language barrrier, but from what I can gather, they're a mercenary/security service for wealth patrons set on a fantasy Victorian-era world.

You can purchase some of their books from MelonBooks or Amazon.

Hey! Yes I've seen this AU but also haven't read it so I could be completely wrong with my assumptions

I kinda get where it's coming from but I personally am not really invested in it. I think it would actually form an even bigger rift because then the family might actually outcast Bruno and Mirabel, refusing to talk about them and no side would understand at all how they're feeling or what's actually causing the cracks. Also I don't think Mirabel as a 5 year old would want to leave her family to live inside the walls. And her family does love her, why take her away from her loving parents?? Imagine a five year old Mirabel at her failed gift ceremony, traumatised confused and scared, and then her tío comes to hide her away because she didn't get a gift. In the movie she feels like an outsider, but that AU would literally make her one, imagine growing up like this.

Idk, I think Bruno is a great uncle and I love his and Mirabel's dynamic. But I can't really imagine him raising Mirabel. And from the movie it doesn't seem like she had a miserable life, her family loves her, even if they don't understand her fully or really show it they way she needs. And yes Abuela is too harsh and makes Mirabel feel like she's to blame.. but that would only get worse if she literally hid away because of it.

Unless this is when she's 15. But still then nothing would've been learned, Abuela wouldn't see the hurt she causes and would continue to push these extremely high expectations on everyone so everyone would be miserabel (probably even more than before). Mirabel would also be miserabel because she'd basically outcast herself from the family (and my point still stands, she loves her family and they love her) and I mean.. Bruno wasn't exactly happy either, he literally says he never left because he loves his family. It's more understandable for her to want to run away after the house breaks down which she did but... idk this still doesn't sit right with me.

I lowkey do not have any clue what Trigun is lmaooo but I strongly believe that Marinette can pull off anything if she puts her mind to it

Here’s a quick screenshot of the sketch - I might go back and color it at some point after I cross off something else on my insanely long to-do list

for some reason, I am simply unable to form coherent thoughts right now, but I feel like ladybug/batgirl would be the most kickass duo ever

some other semi-coherent thoughts:

commissioner gordon 100% ships his daughter with that cute french girl that stops by sometimes with the most delicious bakery treats

ladybug kills the joker after he shoots babs because she’s not batman and his no-kill rule is fucking stupid

this also leads to red hood having a hell of a lot less of a revenge plan and once he releases all his anger by yelling at bruce for being a bad father and having that dumb no-kill rule, that’s it. he’s all good now.

i have no clue how they meet. please don’t ask me how they meet.

gosh I just realized mari’s elbows are really fucking pointy in that sketch uhhhh 

oracle is by far the best version of babs (though i drew batgirl because idk) and I want ladybug out there kicking ass, as oracle watches through hidden cameras and cheers her on like the supportive girlfriend she is

Okay so I have absolutely no idea who Kanaya Maryam is (and I still don’t lmao) but I had lots of fun sketching this anyway, though the coloring is a bit messy because I may or may not have done this during debate practice as I seem to do everything these days but I hope you like it anyway :D
