#mint is crazy

Well, inspiration struck, and now I’ve built a whole AU based on my snippet based on @corail-rouge’s drawing. Because honestly, I had no choice.

Welcome to Miraculous Satogou, peeps.

Here are the AU’s basics:

Ash replaces Adrien/Chat Noir as the hero Nekuro

Goh replaces Marinette/Ladybug as the hero Lord Bug

It’s a Reverse Love Square (Ash likes Goh/Lord Bug likes Nekuro)

Giovanni is Ash’s dad, as well as the supervillain Lunar Moth

Everyone lives in Kalos, specifically in Lumiose City

There aren’t any Pokémon in this universe, but the franchise itself does exsist.

(@nopilotsinthepilots you know what this is)

Who wants to learn what the heck the context for my mini-preview-comic was? Because I’m about to tell you.

As most of you know, the ending of the Ice Chapter...left some stuff to be desired. Yes, it was okay, but something feels missing. Everyone has their own ideas on how to fix it, and this is mine (that is honestly just me being self-indulgent but hey aren’t we all?).

Peeps, welcome to my newest AU:

Wintergreen

(Yes the name is in fact a mint pun but it fit so well—you’ll see in a minute)

Well, everything basically happens as canon up to around this point in “A Fragile Hope” (like, not EXACTLY this point, but this is the best picture I could find).

As you know (or maybe don’t, I don’t know what you know), after Lloyd was defeated in this confrontation, he gets imprisoned.

But then I had a thought—what if instead of that, the Ice Emperor decides that Lloyd might be useful, and thus...

...does what he did to the warriors in “Corruption”?

Thus putting this “stranger in green” under his control.

Because of this, some things are going to change drastically. But the main two points:

The other ninja are now in a position where they will end up confronting the Emperor. The problem won’t be resolved beforehand.

They’re going to be faced with not one, but TWO of their teammates. Kinda like in @mcfanely’s IEED AU, but not exactly.

So...yeah. But before I end off, a few random notes:

Akita’s confrontation with the Emperor becomes even more futile, sadly, as the mind-controlled Lloyd is there as a guard, and thus...you get the picture.

The Emperor actually manages to get information about the others from Lloyd, and knows what to expect, making this even harder

The Emperor is much less passive in this. Sure, he still listens to Vex. A lot. But is much more proactive. C’mon, he’s been ruling for DECADES, he is not just a shell anymore!

(@zebra-all-the-time I PROMISE I’LL WRITE THE THING I PROMISED FOR YOUR AU SOON JUST LET ME COLLECT MY INSANITY)

@rinas-ninjas I don’t know where this came from, but I had this random idea that when *illegibly written spoilers* happens in Prime Programming, well...I kinda drew Jay but with a glitchy fusion of his outfits (normal/digisuit/avatar)? I call him Prime Jay like this.

I had to.

Monkie Kid/Miraculous LB AU where MK has the Monkey Miraculous

(Because the Monkey Miraculous is also actually a shout-out to Journey To The West)

Mae could get the Dragon Miraculous maybe?
