“hey new friend, where’s ladybug?”
“i’m right here. chat it’s me”
“haha sure, i see you’re a real jokester :) but really where is she”

Testing the Clip Studio coloring tool.
If you see the drawing a little out of proportion it is because it is a sketch. Then I will update it

alright.
JADE?
FUCKING??
TURTLE??
REALLY?
Ok but seriously there is absolutely no fucking way they did not take the name from Pilot. Absolutely no way. Jade Turtle is extremely popular - to the point where some people thought it was canon before Carapace was announced. I’m talkin grown adults here, btw. There is no way Thomas or Zag did not know Jade Turtle existed, as active as they are on social media with their fans. For them to use the name now is just fucking low.
Jade Turtle is absolutely a fan character, concept, etc. He is part of the fandom. And, most importantly, he is Pilot’s creation. Ask anyone who’s been here a while - i.e. most of the big names in the fandom - and they can tell you who created Jade Turtle. (Or at the very least direct you to someone who could.)
It is one thing to give us a Miraculous-swap. It’s one thing to give us an aged-up episode.It’s absolfuckinglutely something else to use a Name.
You can try to say that Thomas had this name in mind from the get-go and….maybe. Maybe he did. But I doubt it. Story wise, it doesn’t make sense for an oldass man from East Asia decided to use an English name for his hero form. I was fully expecting him to use a Chinese or Tibetan name. Something that would reflect not only Fu’s origins, but the Chinese roots the Miraculous themselves have.
Fanart and fanworks have always been a gray area for rights and usage but for the most part, creators and fans have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship for years. However…to venture into fandom territory and pluck something that is as steeped in the fandom culture that Jade Turtle is…wrong. Hell isn’t that the reason creators aren’t *supposed* to read fanfiction?? So that if ideas in fics pop up later in canon, people can’t claim they stole it?
So, yeah, I’m going as far as to call this stealing. And “innocent until guilty” my ass.
Until Thomas shows proof that’s more than two years old that he intended Fu’s name to be Jade Turtle–and no that is not an unreasonable amount of time when you consider how long season 3 alone has been in production, never mind ML itself and the importance of Fu’s character–he stole it from Pilot. And that is not okay. At all.
Fight me.
