Miraculous Zorro AU! 🇲🇽
Okay this was actually an idea for an art piece that I came up with. But then I got too excited and decided to make a headcanon before that, like groundwork! I hope y'all enjoy!
┗━━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━━┛
Okay, now as for the time period I decided to go with the 1820s of Mexico, although I couldn't really think of a specific place for the AU? So let's just go with a port town or city maybe?
Also for those wondering, yes, I did take inspiration from the old Zorro movies lol. If anyone hasn't seen it I recommend it, although the sequel is kinda okay in my opinion. But the first one is better.
But anyways, going back in time, the Miraculous used to be in the hands of Mexican citizens during the 1820s. These heroes were known as La Mariquita and El Gato Oscuro, a pair of vigilantes set to stop the dastardly deeds of El Rey Pollillia. An underground crook who is known for sending out villains to do his work.
༻Characters༺
Rosita “Rosa” Sandoval is a local baker who works at her family's panadería in the middle of the city, as well as their delivery girl. While she is kindhearted and cheerful, she has a bit of an attitude. Whether it's with a customer or just anyone, she has a bit of trouble keeping to herself and doesn’t know when the right time to be honest is. This can lead to her coming off as brash at times, even without meaning to.
Enrique Aguirre is a Hispanic nobleman as well as the mayor's son. Since his father is a high political figure, Enrique does have a very formal demeanor but does his best to make others feel welcome. He has a big heart, although he can be a bit sensitive with other people. Leading him to be kind of timid. Especially about his occupation: he does not want his father's position.
Carlos Aguirre is the mayor of the city, who is also known as El Rey Pollillia. His son does not know he is a crook, but he tries his best to keep it from him.
༻Plot Line༺
When the two get their Miraculous, I had the idea of making their personalities similar to how Marinette and Adrien behave when they're superheroes. However, I added my own twist. Normally, Marinette acts a bit more confident when she is Ladybug, and the same can be said for Adrien when he is Chat Noir. Although I wanted my version of the character growth to be different since these Miraculous holders are different people.
Even though Rosa is headstrong, she learns to soften up and connect with someone close to her rather than just being “honest” with people. While Enrique learns that he has to stand up for himself in order to stand up for other people.
Because of this, I even had the idea to include the love square into the AU, but switched too lol. So to put it clearly, Rosa has a crush on her partner Gato Oscuro. Who she thinks is sweet and compassionate but also really cool. While Enrique has a crush on Rosa, who he meets at her bakery when he's trying to get away from his workload. Who he thinks is so passionate and brave.
༻Fun Facts༺
Instead of the piano, Enrique can play the guitar! Think of Manolo from the Book of Life; I can imagine Enrique sneaking out to go play with a mariachi band somewhere! 🤣
This idea I do wanna make an art piece of this if I can find a good reference, but I can imagine Mariquita and El Gato having a sword duel upon their first meeting. Kind of how Ladybug and Chat Noir met in the movie, but more bickering lol.
Maybe they both freak out at first, thinking the other is a bad guy or some kind of villain, and they have this epic sword duel jumping off of walls and barrels! Before realizing that they're the good guys destined to stop El Pollillia.
I can also imagine Plagg having the time of his life in Mexico due to all the food and epics! Like he sneaks into the kitchen at night to steal some leftover queso or even dessert.
Tada!! Redo of my old sketch for my Zorro AU! Also I’m finally drawing again yay!!
I am planning to redo my AU soon, but I figured it’d make more sense to start with the outfits first. Although, while this is a basic sketch, I just feel like it’s missing something again?? I honestly don’t like the boots very much but idk what to do with them? 🤷♀️
It could just be me lol, but feel free to place your thoughts if you want! Thank you! 🙏

‘Skillful infiltration and escape to all manner of places… There is even the possibility that you used special tools and had someone who manufactured them’
(Left Card) Magician, Le Bateleur, (Right Card) Zorro, Morgana, Mona
I may put some colour on this may not depends if I can be bothered. Although I will do the other members of ‘The Phantom Thieves’ with their personas, tarot cards and names. Yet I have not desided if they will be in their thieves outfit, normal or both (half and half)
Next up will be Akira Kurusu (the protagonist) or Yusuke Kitagawa.
Cosmic Discord Cats
Uh… yeah. I was bored on Discord and asked for a bunch of photos to photoshop, and everyone sent me pictures of their cats. This happened.
THE SIGN OF ZORRO (Dir: Norman Foster & Lewis R Foster, 1958)
Guy Williams stars as the vigilante hero who "makes the sign of a Z" in Walt Disney's feature film version of the hit Zorro TV series, broadcast on the ABC network from 1957-59.
Following a lengthy absence, Don Diego (Guy Williams) returns home to the Spanish Californian pueblo of Los Angeles. Finding his hometown under the rule of cruel Captain Monastario (Britt Lomand), he dons a black cape, assumes the new identity of Zorro and determines to overthrow Monastario and restore order to the pueblo. Cue lots of sword fights!
As with Disney's earlier feature Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (Norman Foster, 1955), The Sign of Zorro was edited together from episodes of a TV series. Screened in black and white but filmed in colour, Davy Crockett was a high quality production that transferred to the cinema with ease. Zorro was a more modestly budgeted production shot in black and white. Its static camera work and proliferation of close-ups did not hold up as well on the big screen. The cobbling together of various episodes results in a somewhat disjointed narrative with multiple climaxes and plot threads which are never properly resolved.
That said, the movie does have it compensations. Guy Williams makes for an appealing, athletic hero and is well supported by Gene Sheldon as mute man servant Bernardo and Henry Calvin as local law enforcer Sergeant Garcia; their deft comic performances nicely complementing the lighthearted heroics.
While the movie did not manage to repeat the success of the superior Davy Crockett, it did well enough to warrant a sequel. However, Zorro the Avenger (Charles Barton, 1959) was marketed solely to international audiences and was not released in the US.
Despite its shortcomings, this is an entertaining movie, thanks to its appealing cast and general good-natured ambience. If, like me, you enjoy a bit of swashbuckling you will find The Sign of Zorro has an easy going charm that is hard to resist. Slightly shabby but a lot of fun!

A little late to the party but hopefully still well received 😅
My gift for @downeystarkjr for the @daredevilexchange organised by the wonderful @titconao3 for the prompt “Daredevil AU set in the past - essentially set in the age of swashbuckling pirates and musketeers. In this AU I imagine Matt’s Daredevil attire being like that of Zorro.”
❤️ This prompt was absolute gold, my brain registered reading Zorro and I had to go with it full scale. I hope it’s okay that I went with the Zorro theme more than the pirates/musketeers and that you enjoy it as much as I did creating it ❤️
[ID Portrait format black-and-white digital painting of loosely based TV series style Daredevil (middle bottom), Punisher (upper right) and Elektra Natchios (upper left). Their getup is in the style of early 19th century America/California. Matt is wearing his trademark black headscarf and dark Zorro-type clothes with boots, gloves and a black cape clasped to his left side. A rapier-scabbard is visible to his right. Elektra is wearing a flowing victorian-style dress with a stern expression and a rapier pointed along the side of Matt’s neck. Frank has turned his back to the others and holding a rifle hanging in the left hand and another one slung up on his shoulder. He is wearing a stylised era-typical uniform with boots and a mid-long coat. The background is blurry patches and geometric triangle figures. end ID]
Thanks for the answer. I have not seen that movie in a looooooong time and have no memory of that scene. Time for a rewatch!
