#turtle!max

Open with requests, which I will also be posting up on AO3. 

.

A few days after this discovery and Max still didn’t know what to make of this. It was illogical. It was strange. It was unorthodox. It was just… bizarre. Max stared at the little turtle being before him, taking a long sip of chamomile tea that he requested, seemingly oblivious to Max’s analyzing stare. Or perhaps he was aware and just didn’t care.

Either way, Max didn’t know what to make of the being. He reached out and poked the turtle’s antenna, traced the shell, looked over the claws, well, lack of claws; the being seemed organic, biological, need to eat like everything else.

And yet, there was nothing on earth like, or at least, there shouldn’t be.

Kwami was a term Max has never heard of and he was still struggling with the turtle being’s existence, even after a week.

It was just so… odd.

Queen of Miraculous Swaps, I like it. 

Miraculous swap for Kim Max…. for sure like all healthy, solid pairs, they have a nice echo of yin and yang to them that allow them to balance and work off each other well. 

Kim for sure is a full on yang, he’s expressive, has energy, this boy can’t sit still for the life of him. For miraculous swaps that would match, bee or fox. He, like Marinette, can be the living embodiment of “busy as a bee”,  and he can have the coyness to match the fox. Though ultimately, I think bee would be best. Pollen, most likely, will be a semblance of control and able to cool down her energetic holders, help them focus and spend that energy wisely. Trixx though will be a huge enabler I feel, the likely mischievous kwami eager to see what trouble Kim could get into and wants to watch the show.

Either way, miraculous!Kim is going to be a wonderful mess of good intentions full of chaos. 

Now Max, he is more yin, though he is a yin that does lean towards yang. While he is still and conserving, he can be outspoken and expressive. I would give him turtle or peacock. If the five miraculouses echo Wu Xing, turtle is likely the earth, the true neutral of the 5 Elements, having an even balance of yin and yang. And Wayzz I can see being good for Max, supportive and serious, but will also be blunt if he disagrees, especially if Max is thoughtless or his pride is getting in the way of his judgement (like it did in Gamer). For peacock, Duusu would be another good source of bluntness and could make up for Max’s emotional stiffness. But I can also see her being too sensitive with Max too.
