“Cute As a Bug”
Inspired by this comic post by @i-wadako
Recently
I discovered this cute short comic strip where Adrien, being the total
Ladybug-obsessed weeb that he is, dresses up poor Plagg in a red, polka-dotted
dress, much to the chagrin of the Black Cat kwami. The concept came as a
request from another miraculer to the artist who then illustrated it. Either
way, I found this comic art not only amusing but incredibly cute and I tip my
hat off not only to the genius miraculer who came up with the funny idea but
also the cool artist that brought it to life. Bless you both for the idea of Plagg in a dress.
I
liked the idea of dressing Plagg in a cute Ladybug-style dress so much that it
inspired me to do my own spin on it. Remember that
♥ MEOWPlakki
squigglustration I did a few weeks back where I drew Plagg, reacting, in typical male nose-bleeding over a
pretty female looking cute anime fashion, to Tikki slaying everything in an
adorable black cat kitty costume?
Well as a lovely companion piece to that artwork, I drew Tikki this time reacting (again in traditional anime girl fashion fangasming over her boy crush in a dress–I’ve read too many shoujo manga in my lifetime with this kind of scene) to beautified and bedazzled Plagg; glittery make-up and all, killing it in Ladybug-themed dress of my design .
And just for more kicks, I also tossed kwami newcomers—Wayzz and Noroo into the mix since I promised myself that I would squiggle these two at least once in my style; even if it is rather cartoony. Pfft. LOL.
To
discuss the piece, I wanted to depict each of the canon kwamis reacting
differently to cutie bug Plagg, and I
knew immediately what kind of reactions I wanted them to have. I wanted Tikki
to be react with nothing but love; completely heart eyes and mesmerized by how
beautiful her kwami bestie looks in a dress and just fall head over heels in
love with the look. After all, you gotta admit, Plagg does look hella pretty.
I wanted Wayzz to be completely amused at seeing the Kwami of Bad Luck in
feminine attire to the point of wanting to burst out in fits of scandalous
laughter. But my head canon is that Wayzz is the type to not really laugh at
those he considers his closest comrades.
So
even if he wants to just piss himself guffawing at Plagg, being the old fart
wise and considerably nice turtle that he is, he’ll more try to compose himself.
So instead of laughing, he’d just stand there struggling so hard to suppress
his turtle chortles.
As
for Noroo; well Noroo I decided to have fun with. I wanted one of the
characters to just be shocked STUPID by Plagg in a dress and there’s
no one better to show that than Noroo.
Cause in my head, I’d imagine that after being in Hawkmoth’s company for so
long, Noroo has developed an immunity to everything out of the ordinary.
Since he’s assisted his master in the creation of countless akumatized villains of different shapes, sizes, genders, colour schemes and of course powers; from a giant juggernaut rock creature to a slimy horrific monster; from a winged messenger of hate and heartbreak to Tron Junior and his giant mechanized X-Box 360; to a human 4G wireless connection to even a walking, talking bubble toy; Noroo probably has seen practically everything under the sun so for the most part, nothing really phases him anymore.
Nothing except the sheer sight of one of his fellow kwami brothers in a bloody dress. This alone is enough to just leave the poor butterfly kwami more than just shocked; but profoundly stupefied. Whether Noroo shamelessly loves Plagg in a dress like Tikki, finds it funny like Wayzz or is more horrified by it than anything else, I’d leave that up to you guys to interpret.
For
now, to put it plainly:
Plagg, Noroo is just so 100% done with you and that darn dress. As a matter of
fact, he’s more than just done. He’s gone.
Bye, bye petit papillion.
Bonus:

I
hope you all my fellow miraculers and PLAKKI cheesecake fans can get a good
laugh out of this piece. I really liked drawing Plagg in a dress. Maybe I should
draw all the kwamis, in dresses XD Enjoy the new squiggle art and please,
please reblog it around.
Reblog and if you can, leave a comment as well
of what you think. All of the above would make this squiggle meister very happy
