Ik It’s Been An Eternity Since My Last MTS Post, But I’m Still (mostly) Here You Guys, Dw (I Say

Hi, big fan of your drawings! I've some of your stuff for your au, and I'm curious if you could help me with something. So I'm working on my own miraculous headcanon au with a whole miraculous order and Miracle council. The council has 13 seats, the Grandmaster of the order, and the Guardians of the 12 miracle boxes. Currently I have 11 box for different regions (China, North America, Central America, South America, Japan, Greece, the Celtic Regions, India, Egypt, Australia, and Iberia) currently I'm unsure of what to have as my 12th. I'm thinking either Russia or Canada (leaning a little more towards Canda). Which of the 2 do you think I should go for, or do you have any other recommendations? (Sorry if this is ranty, I have a tendency to do that. Sorry to put you on the spot it's just that I feel like you could be a big help since your Miracle Box system is kinda similar)

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I’m happy to help to the best of my ability and I don’t mind receiving messages of this nature at all.

While you could always go with Canada as it’s own box, the North American continent only has three countries to split the miraculous between (Canada, Mexico, US), so I feel having both a North American and Canadian box isn’t really necessary.

Russia isn’t a bad idea either; however, I feel like making your twelfth miracle box inspired by a country or region in Africa might add more variety to your Order. So far, the only box found in Africa is Egypt, and that’s far more closer to the European continent. (By that I mean that there are a lot of miracle boxes in that general area, which isn’t a bad thing at all, but it does mean that you might want to place your final miracle box in an area where there aren’t as many nearby boxes.)

As for where specifically, I’m not entirely sure, somewhere around west, central, or Southern Africa might be a good place to start.

(I understand how difficult it can be to narrow your options down to only twelve boxes, as well as the struggle to evenly distribute said boxes around the world, especially when every country, even ones right next to each other, has their own unique culture and identity.)

Thank you for the ask and I hope this helps (if there is something I wrote that I need to further clarify, feel free to message me again)! Good luck with your AU!

Idk, seems kinda Émilie-core to me…

Hi everyone. Mohammed Khalil (@ahmed0khalil) has asked me to share his story, and I’m writing on his behalf. Mohammed created the donation campaign for his little brother 6-year-old Ahmed, and he aims to raise funds to evacuate his family of 8. You can see in his blog how much he loves and worries for 6-year-old Ahmed. Mohammed is only 19 years old. This is not normal. He should have been in school, not begging for our attention to try and raise enough funds so that they can buy food, water, medicine, and a chance to evacuate to safety.

In Gaza, where the sounds of bombing blend with the cries of children, Mohammed and Ahmed's family experienced days they never imagined they would endure. Mohammed (19) and Ahmed (6) have four other siblings: Fathi, Aya, Anas and Abdullah. Aya (21) is a uni nursing student and Anas (15) is also a school student. Neither of them can study anymore with the current genocide. This war is especially hard on Fathi (23), who is blind and suffering from coronary artery disease, Abdullah (11) who is autistic and does not understand what is happening, and Ahmed (6), a small child who had barely started kindergarten before his education came to a halt.

The destruction that struck the area left them with no place to live. The sounds of explosions fill the horizon, and the homes that once sheltered them have become piles of rubble. They suddenly found themselves outside their home, homeless.

The bombing not only destroyed their home, but also severely injured Mohammed. Mohammed was sitting at the entrance of the school his family was sheltering in when three bombs were dropped in front of him. The bombs destroyed a residential tower in front of Mohammed. Dust filled the air and the resulting rubble and shrapnel fell on Mohammed, injuring him in the leg. Mohammed was so severely wounded that he could not walk, and he had to lie there, hurt and bleeding, for 2 hours before the Palestinian Red Crescent came and carried him to the hospital.

The bombing shattered the glass in the school Mohammed and his family was staying at, but thankfully the children sustained no serious injuries. Soon after, they were asked to evacuate the school immediately as there were news that the IOF were going to bomb the Abbas prison near it. And so even though Mohammed was wounded, he could not rest and wait for his leg to heal, but had to leave again with his family.

Now they are living in a small tent in a refugee camp. Mohammed told me that they had to bathe in polluted water and the place smelled of sewage and corpses. Camp life was difficult not only because of the scarcity of food, the infectious disease, and the polluted water, but also because of the psychological torture they endure. Looking at all the devastation, and how the world seems indifferent to their suffering, Mohammed told me that they, including young innocent 6-year-old Ahmed, had begun to lose hope for a better future.

Internet is unstable and often lacking in the refugee camp. Mohammed is using the precious time when Internet is available to tell me his story. I hope you will not turn away their calls for help. They urgently need donations to provide for shelter, food, and medicine, as well as to evacuate out of Gaza. Donations are coming in really slowly for Mohammed’s campaign, and I beg all of you, please, don't turn a blind eye to his story. 

Mohammed’s campaign has been shared by 90-ghost and I’ve also been talking extensively with him. He is a very nice person and he just really wants to help his family survive. Please, please, help Mohammed evacuate himself, his 5 siblings and his parents! Little 6-year-old Ahmed does not deserve to live in fear of falling bombs every day, and neither does Mohammed and the rest of his family. 

Really low funds! Only €1,185 raised of €50,000 target!!

Dropping an obligatory disclaimer before I decide to start rambling about the MTS characters:

While I do have the occasional… grievance… with how the original Miraculous show handles its plots and characters, I don’t completely hate the show. There’s some aspects of it I rather enjoy. That’s kinda what got me started here, after all, being interested in the core concept/premise of Miraculous.

Don’t get me wrong, when we first started coming up with ideas for our own Miraculous show (which was referred to as Mirauclous: Rewritten at the time), it was kind of a “grrrrrr I hate the Miracubug, I bet I could write it SO MUCH BETTER” but I was being pretty immature at the time. Now it’s a lot less about one-uping the writers and far more about coming up with a compelling story using the main ideas of the original as a framework.

That’s why I might tag my posts as “miraculous rewrite” (because that’s the tag people use when they wanna see a different kind of Miraculous), but it’s actually far more akin to a miraculous reboot of sorts. That’s also why the characters will be a bit more different from their OG counterparts than they should in a miraculous rewrite, kinda like how the Turtles’ personalities change a bit in each TMNT reboot.

So yeah, if we didn’t end up keeping some element of the OG show, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we hated said element, it just wasn’t a part of the story we wanted to tell, or it simply wasn’t logical to include with the MTS context (for example, I think Alya becoming Ladybug’s confidant and a temp Ladybug was a really cool idea in the main show, but as you’ll end up seeing down the line, it would not work with the new story events and character dynamics that appear in MTS).

If there’s a particular part of the show you’re especially curious about, feel free to drop an ask about whether it’s included in Miraculous: The Series! If it’s not, I can explain what plot point occurs in its place. While I can’t guarantee that you won’t be disappointed by a few of the changes (quite a few popular aspects do get replaced), I also think that’s there’s quite a bit that you’ll enjoy.

Wanted to draw something for the day, and this idea has in the back of my mind for a bit now.

are you aware of the storm that is coming thine way?

You think you’re slick, don’t you @aeonianlunartine?

I don’t usually draw larger drawings, but since someone I know irl suggested it, here’s these two!

Individual drawings (and a bit of extra text) under the cut:

Basically these are actually remasters, as I had originally drawn close ups on Night Light and Greyhound two years ago. Hopefully my art development is evident through the compare and contrast!

Okay, now it’s time for the actual main characters.

I tried to make them look good both as stand-alone characters and as a duo (I got CN first try, but this LB was actually my second attempt at designing her…)

Try and rip ridiculously long character lineups from my cold dead hands, I dare you.

Here is a sketchy lineup of the miraculous side characters! Yes I have oc-ified Kagami. Also my Nathan is an insufferable pretentious artist type, thinks he needs to be a "tortured artist" to make good art which just ends up making him a complainer lol

I also changed Max's entire style because I am not drawing that monstrosity, he's supposed to be like an 80's nerd stereotype so I wanted to keep the 80's influence but just make it a lil better looking

Finding different poses for everyone was a doozy lmao but Alix's ended up being my favorite xx

Uh think I'm late to the party but I just saw @star-stages DTIYS and wanted to do it with my own sonic!
