Summary: It’s a Miraculous Ladybug college fic!
Notes: Ok, so full disclosure, I had definitely planned out the details of Mathis’ Akumatization like 3 weeks before we ever got wind of the actual ML canon ‘Marionettist’ episode. No joke, this was like early January when I mapped out this story’s climax. So even though there are conceptual similarities, I really, really loved the outline for this chapter too much, and decided to not change a thing. Don’t worry, though, the differences are VERY apparent!
Check out Mathis’ Akuma designhere if you’re interested!
Reminder, this fic is also on FF.net and AO3 (find the links here) so feel free to follow them!
♈️ Aries: They’ve been writing since they were really young. They are always working on a project, or attempting some crazy challenge. They don’t shy away from trying out new genres or writing styles. Once they want to do something, there’s no way to stop them.
♉️ Taurus: They may appear to have a controlled exterior, but all of that changes the instant you ask them about their characters. They write the most lovable & sweet characters, and they also happen to be their own #1 biggest fan— so beware talking smack about their babies.
♊️ Gemini: They’re always juggling several projects at the same time. They write fiction and enjoy it, but they do much more. They can be spotted writing the comic-book version of one of their previous works, or typing up a movie script. Prolific doesn’t even begin to describe them.
♋️ Cancer: Their storytelling is spontaneous, almost volatile, and that is what makes their books so fun to read. There’s no telling where their stories will go or what will happen next. For them, what matters most is not the journey— but the adventure!
♌️ Leo: They know their characters better than anyone else. Sometimes they may spend more time writing backstories (and doing world-building) than actually writing the book, but at the end it’s all worth it. That’s why their characters feel like real people.
♍️ Virgo: Their two best friends are subtlety and foreshadowing. They love leaving clues in the background, hints of what will be happening later in the story. They live for astute readers and, if you pay attention, you will realize there is more going on than you could’ve ever expected.
♎️ Libra: Some writers are afraid of having multiple points of view, not them. They have tons of POVs, and they all get their chance under the spotlight. Sometimes their antagonists get the most character development, and that’s why they don’t feel like “villains.”
♏️ Scorpio: They use everything in their power to strike the reader right in the *feels*. They’re the masters of cliffhangers and plot-twists. It's not about playing dirty, it’s about getting a reaction out of you. Character deaths should be expected, though they will still surprise you every damn time.
♐️ Sagittarius: They don’t simply just *write* a book, they immerse themselves in the process. They’re dedicated researchers, and are known to go as far as changing their entire surroundings to match the ‘feel’ of the story they’re currently working on.
♑️ Capricorn: They don’t write one-shots. Everything (and yes they do mean *everything*) they write is part of a series or their overarching mega-macro-universe. Expect to see cameos, familiar faces, and recurring themes across all their books!
♒️ Aquarius: With them, no idea is too strange or far-fetched. They can take anything and spin it into a story. Mixing genres, and making new ones along the way, is all par for the course. Best of all— is that their crazy story ideas always work.
♓️ Pisces: Everything they write is magical. They can make the most mundane story feel bigger-than-life and, when it comes to creating breath-taking worlds & settings, there’s simply no better. Be careful, though, because if given the chance they *will* make you believe that magic is real.
Dearest Miraculers! There has been a content theft, both dub and art theft! I’ve stumbled upon a youtube page, where user Mary TV (link to the channel) stole multiple comics and translated them into Polish without giving credit, and I assume they also did not ask permission. This is a post listing all of the authors she stole from.
Someone who dubbed shesellsseagull’s comic (i wasn’t able to identify. I don’t know, but it might be @philsterman01‘s dub. I didn’t find the exact video, but I’m pretty sure it’s his voice.)
(oh my god she has an intro and it’s an avril lavigne’s hello kitty AMV. It’s also a stolen AMV from user SexyLittleShorty1, and there’s of course no credit)
I’ve informed Mary TV that this is content theft, and that she should ask permission. This is our exchange:
Translation:
Me: *explains why she should ask about permission.
Part in caps: ASK FOR PERMISSION AND CREDIT ARTISTS. IF YOU DON’T GET AN APPROVAL, PLEASE, RESPECT THEIR WISHES.
*
Mary TV: Okay, I’ll take [your comment] into account.
Me: *explains that “taking it into account” isn’t enough. That artists lose drive because of theft. It’s okay if she likes translating, but her top priority should be asking for permission.*
(Bonus: I was treated like a butthurt child by her fans.
Olga xxx: Piss off. If she likes it, let her do it:). Nobody told you to watch it.
Olga hasn’t read my comments, judging from her comments. She just saw the part in caps and took it as an attack on Mary.)
It seems like Mary has NO INTENTION of asking for permission.
Artists, you can message her in English, or you could get a translation of your message to Polish from me if she doesn’t seem to understand. I’ve given her a chance before I made this post, and she seemed to just shrug to what i said. I won’t let theft pass.
(And so here comes Levith, the theft hunter, lmao)
mahaliciously
I don’t quite know who to exactly tag for this post to get attention but I’ll go ahead and mention @official-ladyblog
I’m not saying anything new by stating how wrong this behaviour is and I’ll ask everyone to reblog this for more attention because art theft needs to stop in the fandom. This is most disrespectful.
unless juleka is a real live vampire or a member of the uchiha clan, her red eyes are just color contacts and that got me to thinking.. is it only for aesthetic purposes or does she really need them to see? so thus….the goth daughter in glasses
