No Miraculous AU Where Juleka Is Desperately Trying To Stop Lukanette And Lukadrien From Happening.

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS!!!

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS!!!

if i ever tell you "i cant possibly read a book in a day!" i am LYING. i am a FUCKING LIAR. because last night i read a 50k word fanfic in three fucking hours.

her! or at least, my design of her !

Concept Art, one might say

waiting for a fandom to come that somehow ships two people in more ways than miraculous. We’re even coming up with new ones, bravo people

We got the Love square and its 4 ships. Then we have the reverse versions who have 4 ships and when we mix and match, things get WILD. 8 more ships, (and 16 if you want to self-ship). THEN we have Cat walker, adding 2 more ships. THEN we have the fan made Loveybug. Another 2. But they can be shipped with the reverse worlders as well, so another 16 with self-ships.

And then I’m probably forgetting some niche variation but I’ll add another 4 to cover some I forgot.

In total, 2 people make 48 ships. And probably more… jeez

No miraculous AU where Juleka is desperately trying to stop lukanette and lukadrien from happening.

Not because she’s malicious or anything, just that she thinks marinette and Adrien are way too cool for her Emo sad brother and wants them to get better tastes.

Miraculous Ladybug shipping is a fucking mess. Yes that's the official statistical term. 52% of all Miraculous Ladybug fics include some permutation of shipping Marinette (Ladybug) and Adrien (Chat Noir), and there are four permutations.

So shipping these two people requires four ships, because they each have a secret identity. 52% of all Miraculous Ladybug fics include some permutation of shipping Marinette (Ladybug) and Adrien (Chat Noir), and of those, 1.6% are tagged with all four permutations and 72% aren't tagged with any particular permutation.

11% of all the fics are tagged Ladynoir. 14% are tagged Adrinette, and 11% are tagged Marichat. There is significant overlap (see Venn diagram below).

Ladrien (Ladybug x Adrien) is less popular. Only 4% of all Marinette x Adrien fics are tagged Ladrien, and only 2% of all Marinette x Adrien fics are only tagged with Ladrien.

Also, 10 fics were added while I was working on this post. Damn.

BEHOLD THE VENN DIAGRAM OF SECRET IDENTITY CONFUSION

official data visualization guidance says i should use an upset plot for this, but i'm going for max psychic damage here.

The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.

But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.

Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!

The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
