Sabine Also Knows Martial Arts And Marinette Does Gymnastics Canonically So I Think They Would Both Teach

Sabine also knows martial arts and Marinette does gymnastics canonically so I think they would both teach her how to fight

AU where Tom is basically Rocky Balboa but quit boxing after the events in the movies to live with his wife Sabine.

Maybe Roland didn’t agree with his drastic career change to a bakery. That makes their falling out much more plausible if you ask me.

Marinette has lots of hidden muscle that is defined by her suit - which would probably be more practical and have bandages around the hands and a headpiece. Tom would teach her boxing moves and how to deal heavy hits.

Ladybug absolutely floors Anansi, who hands over her akuma in respect (when seeing the boxing gloves her Lucky Charm gave she grinned). After, she offers Nora advice on boxing as Marinette, revealing who her father is.

The events in Weredad happen the same, except Chat Noir is much more beaten up and exhausted from the fight they have. At the end of the episode, he learns who her father is and gulps.

Tom gives Adrien lessons whenever he can because he cannot stand seeing the boy so skinny. Sabine just watches in the background, muttering something about a ‘Creed’.

Lila’s plot to expel Marinette absolutely fails because the fact that she didn’t get a concussion (or at the very least a broken bone) from a push from the daughter of a boxer made her tale hard to believe. Kim can contest since he got quite the injury in an arm wrestle with her years ago. Tom refuses to believe Lila since he taught his little girl how to do so much more damage to her opponents.

That day is the day that Lila reconsiders ruining Marinette’s life.

Chat Noir is much more flustered around Ladybug, and has to stop himself many times from asking her to fling him across the horizon. The Ladyblog catches his blushing and gets many comments about how many would be too in his situation. Marinette turns red when Alya shows her them.

One last detail I want to add to this AU is that Marinette has shorter hair for her convenience. I’m thinking it’s in a long bob, similar to Kagami’s, but it reaches no farther down than her shoulders.

Kagami also respects her for her fighting skills. Tomoe allows them to hang out together when learning of her heritage and parents.

Maybe this could lead to Adrien x Marinette x Kagami?

Since people seem to really like my vision requirements illustrations, I figured I could elaborate on my theories/headcanons!

Anemo: Purpose.

Anemo users have been unsure or hesitant about how to live their lives or what to do at some point, but all ended up finding something to strive for. Venti found purpose in rebuilding Mondstadt after Decarabian fell, to make the nation a place that the nameless bard would've loved to live in.

Jean found purpose as the Dandelion Knight, Xiao found purpose in serving Morax, Wanderer found purpose in freedom etc. Everyone has something they find fullfilment in.

Geo: Determination.

Geo users have a set path and/or ideal they live by, something they will not budge on no matter what. Zhongli is solid on his contracts, the written word is law and cannot be allowed to go broken, regardless of circumstances. His path is one of mutual agreement and fairness, to ensure everyone and everything gets their due.

Ningguang walks the path of Liyue's pillar, Noelle walks the path of self-improvement, Itto walk the path of acceptance etc. They are determined in their ways and will not bend them.

Electro: Protection.

Electro users all have something/someone they hold dear, and will do anything to ensure it's safety and longevity. Ei loved her sister more than anything else, and would've done anything to keep her safe and alive. Her actions in Inazuma was her terribly misguided way of "protecting" it from erosion, to keep the nation her sister loved so much in prosperity in her place.

Sara wants to protect her people, Keqing wants to protect Liyue's prosperity, Fischl wants to protect her imagination and fantasies etc. They hold things close to their heart and will do anything to protect it.

Dendro: Understanding.

Dendro users are seekers of knowledge and wisdom, wishing to understand the world around them and all that lives in it. Nahida wants to understand people, for wisdom means nothing when it can't be put to practice. People aren't something that can easily be comprehended by textbook knowledge, they must be observed extensively first-hand to even begin to understand.

Baizhu wants to understand the secrets of immortality, Kirara wants to understand human society, Collei wants to understand how to help others etc. They earnestly search for ways to expand their world.

Hydro: Duty.

Hydro users tend to have a strong sense of responsibility and personal principles they live by. We don't know enough about Furina to say for sure what her deal is right now, but I speculate her duty is closely connected to the Heavenly Principles, and that she views herself as Celestia's "executioner" so to speak.

Ayato's duty is to the yashiro commision, Candace's duty is to the desert-dwellers, Childe's duty is to the Tsaritsa etc. They have solid loyalties and set principles they work by.

Pyro: Passion.

Pyro users are full of love and passion for what they do, dedicating themselves whole-heartedly to their chosen field. We know very little about Murata, so it's hard to say what she's like. As the God of War I assume she has a passion for battle? Who knows.

Yoimiya is passionate about fireworks, Bennett is passionate about adventuring, Diluc is passionate about defending Mondstadt etc. They have a profound love of life and what is in it.

Cryo: Contradiction.

Cryo users are at odds with themselves, rife with inner conflicts and clashing desires. The Tsaritsa is described as an archon with no love for her people, and has been noted to have grown cold post-cataclysm. Her harbingers, most notably Childe, say otherwise, though. She's not unloving, but she is disillusioned and vengeful. Her hatred for Teyvat and Celestia is at odds with her love of her people.

Rosaria is conflicted with her lifestyle(s), Ayaka is conflicted with her status and wants, Kaeya is conflicted with his loyalties etc. They are torn by irreconcilable opposites.

Wing AU. Wouldn’t it be fucked up if Belos took feather’s from each of the previous golden guards and put them as ornaments above his thrown in, what he calls a memorial, but whenever Hunter doesn’t do what Belos likes he not so subtly gestures makes comments about how good itd look with a new feather added. Darius ends up stealing the one that belonged to the previous golden guard and burning it on top of the knee as a sort of memorial to his mentor and what he sees as setting his soul rest. PA

HI HELLO WELCOME BACK!!!

and goddd. it would be So fucked up. He takes the biggest primary feather he has (the most important And the prettiest. two in one) and adds them to his throne as intimidation tactics. Hunter always thought they were from people who stepped out of line/disappointed Belos, and he was Kind Of right, but good lord was he not expecting it to be That.

I think they'd take all the feathers and burn them at some point, to remember the fallen and all that. Darius definitely took the liberty of burning his mentors himself, though. I wonder if they'd set fire to the feathers and then, like, toss them into the air to blow away as they burn to ash. a sort of last-token act of freedom that they never got

If the horse had a sword it should be a rapier or a joust(are jousts swords?) Fencer's have to be fast with good reflexes and agility because speed is one of the deciding factor for a victor and if Mari was given a rapier she could've joined the fencing club to practice with Adrien as her tutor. In the movie she did gymnastics, she could've done gymnastics but quite to make more time for designing, then she becomes a superhero, has to join the fencing club and with practice from Kaalki becomes a key member of the team with Adrien and (soon) Kagami taking more time out of her schedule and Adrien feeling even more trapped by his miraculous because he thinks he's lost his last chance at freedom.

How do you think the story would’ve gone if Master Fu gave Marinette the canon Dragon Miraculous and Adrien the canon Turtle Miraculous in Origins? It plays off of the classic sword and shield combo, gives Marinette the offensive attacks and Adrien the defensive attacks (Lord knows at this point in the game that Adrien obviously has problems with self-control when it comes to his Cataclysm and strategizing in general, and having Shellter as his power and Wayzz as his kwami would force him to take his and his partner’s disposition in battle seriously from the get-go), and with Lightning Dragon having never been shown on-screen to date, it could easily act as the purification of akuma, whether by burning away the negative magic corrupting them, which plays into the idea of lightning being a cleansing force of nature, or burning the akuma itself to ash, which would also deplete Hawkmoth’s collection of butterflies at the time. And with Wayzz being heavily implied to be and Longg being canonically confirmed to be kwami that prefer to take their time and thoroughly explain what needs to be done, I can see Adrien actually having to sit and wait until Wayzz is done talking/sure he’s prepared before he gets the transformation phrase out of him, and Marinette being calm enough from Longg’s explanation of what’s happening and what she needs to do (especially in comparison to Tikki who, after Marinette tries to run what she says back to her with clear lack of full understanding and confidence, even saying verbatim “Aww... this is all going too fast, Tikki... I... won't be able to pull this off!”, simply responds with “Trust yourself, Marinette. Just say ‘Spots on’.” without any further clarification or rerun) to actually remember getting Stoneheart’s akuma the first time without any problems.

It is funny for you to say sword-shield combo as, from what I've seen, Dragon hardly ever uses the sword. I agree with a buddy that it should've been a pearl to grasp that can change you into any element of a storm, for why use the sword at all when you can become an element? And sword could've worked better for horse, they're more associated with swords and hey, that could've backed Kaalki's claim of being powerful, as horseshoe-boomerang just feels random and doesn't really click me (but that is just me). I feel like they only did sword for dragon as Kagami was planned for it and she's a sword fighter.

ANYWAY.

Honestly, of the 5, Turtle is my go to for Adrien. It doesn't discourage him rushing to danger and being willing to take risks, but gives him more protection and would help him learn to be smarter about it. Plus, I see Wayzz doing better for him than Plagg. Wayzz is adaptable and flexible and can adjust to work with Adrien and be engaging, but still offer wisdom and advise and make his concerns to Adrien clear. Also TECHNCIALLY, with the 5 being based on Wu Xing, Turtle should have an edge over Butterfly.

I'd actually make Turtle the cleanser here, maybe Shelter has some healing or cleansing abilities, and it comes down to trapping an akuma in there. It gives Adrien more stake and responsibility.

On Dragon, well, you didn't come to the right person as I don't like mythical creatures as miraculous, and I'd rather Dragon cut from existence, especially knowing how vital dragons are to Chinese culture and it's coming from the Chinese box and it's a wonder why isn't Dragon one of the two most powerful? If it was one of the two most powerful, it's existence would be more acceptable to me. But it isn't and to me, it sticks out like a sore thumb out of all 19 as the oddball, even knowing it's there because of the Chinese Zodiac (which to me over all is very problematic in its existence as there are other Zodiacs out there that have matching animals so what makes this Zodiac exist over them? Or where they moved around a lot? Did they go through phases of other Zodiacs?).

But, ok.

I'll try and roll with this what if Dragon was sent out.

And to me, it's a bit of a random pick. I'd see more use in Bee or Monkey as those than affect akumas far more, fully stun the target making it super easy for Turtle to handle them; or make their powers go out of whack rendering them less dangerous as they can't function properly. And the biggest appeal is that these powers would be focused on the akuma exclusively.

Dragon would be more broad in its use, which could be beneficial or problematic, especially since neither would have a mass restoration power that we see. What if as water or lightning, she shorts a lot of electronics? ...Side note, can you execute yourself if you're water? Becoming wind, as she rushes past, anything susceptible to wind would be blown away, especially with her moving at high speed. For the most part she'd be good at tackling and overwhelming akumas, but I can also see possible damage or mishaps left behind her.

Another big issue is that we don't entirely get how Dragon works and we don't have a lot of examples of it in the field, especially as we haven't seen all 3 powers and Dragon Bug raises some questions. Was she able to make a big water shield because of the combo with LB? Or can Dragon naturally control and bend the elements it can become? And if it can, does the user need the elements there or can it make it themselves? And with lightning, can the user travel through electricity? Are they able to do so without overwhelming the system?

And IF Dragon can cleanse, I'd probably do water instead, as that's more associated with healing and cleansing than lightning, I see that more of a stunning power if anything.

Either way, I'd be all for Turtle Adrien but Dragon being released, not so much. I do think Marinette and Longg could be a good duo, but it's not my pick on a miraculous to be released. But I admit that I have bias against Dragon, and all that I've thought up may not even be issues as at all.

We don't really have enough details on Dragon and how it works, what are the limits, and what else it can do. I'd also rather it just doesn't exist as to me, it's an eyesore. But that is just me. I don't see Dragon being an ideal pick for Butterfly. Turtle should be, but Dragon... yeah to me it's a random miraculous to release when there are others that would be better fit. You want something more offensive: Bee and Monkey for sure would be good, Cat too as that's more built for combat. Fox SHOULD also have an edge over Butterfly. And there's the issue of restoration, so what of the Ladybug? Is Tikki able to use ML on her own with no issue? Turtle could be a cleanser but you do have that issue of no restoration.
