Miraculous OC: Ladybug (because man can be ladybugs too)
I wanted to focus on the Agreste arc bc Thomas did shitly with it and it pissed me off so I made this. Vincent A. Kline has a phd in biology an laters adopts Adrian.
Non-Human’s aren’t worth much
Today, I’m gonna talk to you guys about a narrative device / story trope called “What Measure Is a Non-Human?” This device refers to the choice a creator might make to question the distinction between human and non-human. In terms of censorship, it refers to how, especially in children’s media, you can inflict worse fates on explicitly non-human characters than human ones without the people funding your project trying to axe your story. It’s basically an excuse to rack up a body count without there actually being a body count because the things being “killed” are not human and are, therefore, not really being killed. You can’t kill something that’s a thing.
Thomas Astruc has worked with children’s action/adventure shows for years. He knows about this story device, he has even taken advantage of it. Aeon and Sentibug were killed on-screen and Miraculous Ladybug is still rated TV-Y7 or the equivalent in most countries. In contrast, Batman: Mask of Phantasm, an animated kids’ superhero movie, where human characters die nonviolently on-screen, is rated PG.
Even in the case of the Special, Aeon’s death was undone almost instantly after. This story trope is often called a Disney Death, where a character can die and it won’t affect the rating as long as it gets undone quickly enough through a fakeout or resurrection. Even so, Aeon was in her robot form when it happened, to make sure her non-humanness was explicit. In contrast, Sentibug’s death doesn’t get undone, meaning a Sentimonster’s life is worth even less than a robot’s in the eyes of the arbiters of the Miraculous Ladybug universe.
In other words, Sentimonsters are considered explicitly enough “non-human” that they can be killed irreversibly on-screen without it affecting the rating. They cannot be killed. They do not have lives that can be taken away. They are not human.
This means that, if the writers then turned around and revealed one of their main characters to be a Sentimonster, an explicitly non-human creature that can be killed with no out-of-universe repercussions (aka, a rating bump) because they are not really alive, then he isn’t human in a metatextual sense. If Adrien is meant to preserve his worth as a human being or as close to human being as possible while being a Sentimonster, every single other Sentimonster needs to be treated as fully human and their deaths have to be undone.
I don't know if you saw the Fairly OddParents but the scenario of Chloe going to the real world to beat up Thomas Astruc would be like in the end of an episode from the Fairly OddParents when Nega Chin goes to the real world to find the creator of Crimson Chin and he tells him "let's have a little chat about heroes" and proceeds to beat him up.
Let's be real, Chloe should've been the next Hawkmoth more than Lila, simply because Chloe has more reasons to terrorize the city.
The whole city was against her. Her parents were against her. She lost her privilege. She lost her hero status, and with the temp heroes are all back, it adds salt on her injuries. She hates both protagonists. And she's more than likely has enough savings to get herself supplies of butterflies and a hiding place, or she can just take one of Audrey's credit card.
Meanwhile, Lila's reason is just lame and petty. She hates Marinette and Ladybug (and Chat Noir as extension, but let's be real, who even cares about him at this point? Because the writers surely don't), she has the truth about Gabe that's more than likely only gonna be used in S7 finale, and...that's about it. She has no reason to terrorize the city other than to bring inconvenience for Ladybug. She couldn't care less about Adrien if it's not to hurt Mari. And she's infamous for bending reality to get everything her way no matter how big of a BS that is.
(Yes yes, i know that Lila is smarter and it would makes more sense for her to be the villain, but if her being smart means turning everyone into amoeba brain, then i reject the idea.)
I guess it's worth a shot to make Butterfly!Chloe AU fic.

Ummmm. . .EXCUSE ME!?!
You mean to tell me that Marinette and Luka were not only supposed to kiss in the show WITHOUT being interrupted, BUT they were also supposed to kiss TWICE!!!!
WHY! WHY WERE WE ROBBED?!?!?! tELL mE wHY tHOmAS aSTRuC!?!? tELL mE wHY!?!?!?
Marinette and Luka weren‘t supposed to kiss once but TWICE in the s3 finale
WE WERE SO ROBBED
⚠️⚠️ATTENTION⚠️⚠️ This is a serious post and I feel the need to talk about so let’s go. This is Ezra Weiz the Voice director (I think that’s the word?) of Miraculous Ladybug. He basically casts all of the lovely voices to the English cast of miraculous. I’m pretty sure everyone by now knows that everything from every script, to episode, to storyboard of season 5 has been leaked. The leaker has NOT ONLY decided to leak all of season 5 BUT HAS ALSO decided to leak all of the miraculous staff INCLUDING winny, Jeremy, Ezra AND the creator Thomas’s phone numbers and possible addresses. It’s one thing to leak a show but to completely dox a whole miraculous cast is wayyyy to far. Whether you like them or not this is NOT okay and will NEVER be justified. It’s plainly wrong. While there’s nothing that we can do it’s important that we are educated on stuff like this. Please do nothing but send love and support to everyone and let’s all hope they are safe and sound.
Why am I not surprised.
Oh yeah, why would any of us even think you based Chloe off a real person you used to know? It's not like you've said you did it before, like with Marinette's mom, right?
And also, for someone who says he loves Chloe, you really haven't thought twice about insulting other fans of the show who like her for different reasons or thought she had potential to be a great hero, throwing insults at the character herself, and trivializing domestic abuse and rape when talking about her fans.
I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd say things to other people who just so happen to like a character I obviously like and don't hate with a burning passion.
Ummmm. . .EXCUSE ME!?!

Omg astruc just said on twitter that max is rather ace and alix is rather aro (it was an answer for someone who asked if they were together or they are going to be)
Just had a look on Twitter to confirm and yeah this is legit!
That's neat! I do hope that we get more on-screen LGBT+ rep in future seasons, it would be pretty awesome.
