If you've been keeping up with my 'What If Cobra Kai Was A Musical' posts, I hope you're in for a long read, because Season 3's already the longest one and it's not even done
So...Kiaz.
I don't really like Kiaz. Aside from the obvious reason (incest), they deadass have no reason to even consider each other in a romantic sense.
From Season 1 to Season 4, they thought of each other as 'the twink my dad replaced me with' and 'the asshole that kicked me off a railing', even in Season 5, they'd JUST made up, they weren't even close.
And it's not even the problem of their personalities, I think they're personalities are compatible, it's just...their situation.
And the fact that they're literally brothers. Yeah, Kiaz sucks imo (no offense to anyone who ships Kiaz).

Whatās up BITCHESš£ļøā¼ļø
ā¦iām sorry guys, I shouldnāt have called you bitches.
The concept of evolving powers in Miraculous Ladybug has raised someā¦interesting questions. When Ladybug basically said āfuck you, I do what I wantā and made herself a new power, it confused a lot of us. And when Shadowmoth did the same goddamn thing, we were just kind of tired of it. The unspecific and wishy washy circumstances around upgrading a Miraculous userās powers has inspired many people in the fanbase to make up their own headcanons for it, improving on the power that we were given and also conceptualizing upgrades for other users.Ā
Well, in this post, Iām gonna do the same thingā¦.
For every goddamn Miraculous we see in this show
Am I crazy? Yes. Do I even have the time to do all of this? No.Ā Am I going to obsess over this for days on end instead of doing what I actually need to do? Absolutely.
To explain what exactly Iām doing here, instead of looking into the animals each Miraculous is based on, Iām purely going to draw concepts from the, well, concept the kwami embodies. That means Iām going to find a new power for Creation, Destruction, Transmission, Emotion, Illusion, Protection, Subjection (fuck Action, all my homies hate Action), Evolution, Intuition, Migration, Derision, Perfection, Jubilation, Inflatio-nah Iām just fuckinā with you, Exaltation, Multiplication, Pretension, Passion, Determination, and Adoration.
Okay so maybe I lied about every Miraculous being in here since Iām ignoring the Eagle, but Iād rather wait until more Miraculouses from the NA Box get explored. Some of these are going to be easier than others, and some of these are going to be the bane of my existence, lookinā at you Derision (which is oddly fitting). Iām gonna try my hardest not to make these upgrades OP. Now, without further ado, letās do this.
āOh, Ladybug already got an upgra-ā Well that upgrade was ASS, so weāre giving her a better one. When thinking of a new power for the Ladybug Miraculous, it was pretty damn difficult. I mean, Creation is a concept thatās so broad yet so specific. You have so many options yet no options at the same time. I was caught in a bit of a strange conundrum. So, in my desperate time of need, I turned to a friend thatās been helping me with shit like this since I first started writing.Ā My all-knowing buddy,
šŖ½š®šš š®šš šøšš®š š²š¾šš¾šŖ½
When I went to this site, I did what anyone would do and simply searched up Creation to see what I found. And I found a lot, a lot that could become too busted too fast. I had a few ideas at first, my first idea after going to this page was a literal goddamn domain expansion, that being Ladybug projecting her will in the form of a pocket dimension where her imagination reigns supreme. My second idea was something I wouldāve called Power Plant, basically Ladybugās spots glow and she can generate blasts of pure Big Bang energy, which again, is busted.Ā
Eventually, I found something that interested me and thatās Transmutation. Yāknow, Alchemy from FMA? Yeah, that. Itās basically transforming one thing into another thing of equal value. And that, my friends, falls under Creation. Because youāre basically breaking something and using the parts to create something new. So, Iām guessing you can see where Iām going with this, right?
Ladybugās new upgraded power is Overhaul, an ability that allows her to transform an inanimate object into an object of equal weight and density. So she can take a vase and transform it into an ax, but that ax is gonna be the same weight and density of the vaseā¦and itās gonna be made out of glass.
ā¦holy shit, I just realized thatās an MHA reference, I legit didnāt even mean tha-
Another upgrade that I came up with thanks to the help of with the help of my dear friend,
šŖ½š®šš š®šš šøšš®š š²š¾šš¾šŖ½
I am of the opinion that Chat Noir got absolutely shitted out of a new power in Season 5. Youāre telling me you had Adrien go through all that bullshit that season and you couldnāt have at least given him some new razzle-dazzle to pay it off? Boosh.
Anyway, this one was actually fairly easier since Destruction isnāt really that broad a concept. I mean, youāre destroying shit, how complicated can it be? So, with Creation, I wanted to think about how Ladybug was creating something, but with Destruction, I want to focus on what Chat Noirās destroying.
I went through some ideas before I came to a conclusion, Chat Noir being able to destroy someoneās soul to incapacitate them, him being able to destroy someoneās mental boundaries and what not. For the longest time I had the idea in my head that Chat Noir could maybe destroy an aspect of something, like maybe he could just destroy the color in an object and turn it completely gray. However, I feel thatās a bit moreā¦situational. But, I eventually had a definitive idea. You know what falls under Destruction? Division.
āWha-how does Division fall under Destruction?ā You might ask, and thatās simple, division is destroying the bond that keeps multiple things whole, forcefully separating them. For example, if you have a lobster and you tear off itās claw you have to destroy the shell to get to the meat inside. Youāre dividing the shell from the meat by destroying the shell. (Iām fully aware that you didnāt need that explanation but I just watched the episode of Young Sheldon where George taught Missy how to crack a lobster and Iām still not over it)
So, Chat Noirās new power is Hissection, it allows him to forcefully separate one thing from another by basically touching it and pulling that bitch out. He could use it on an akumaās object and literally rip the akuma out of it without damaging the object. Or, if heās getting really morbid, he could rip someoneās skeletal structure out of their body and just watch them fall down like ol jelly bones. He obviously wouldnāt do that, but still.
I have the perfect scenario for this power to develop too, Monarch finds out that Adrien is Chat Noir and tries to use the ring to get him to come to his side since Adrienās a sentimonster, only for Chat Noir to use this power to separate himself from the Peacock Miraculous and wedding rings, granting himself his own sentience. Isnāt that just raw as hell?
Iām gonna call Gabriel Hawkmoth for this section because I refuse to keep up with his new names. Hawk Moth has already got a kind-of upgrade with āMegakumasā. However, Megakumas are just boosh. Theyāre basically āakumas but strongerā. So Iāll be coming up with a new one just how I did with Ladybug.Ā
Now, the butterfly is connected to the concept of Transmission which I was having a hard time with because my stupid ass brain only thought of Transmission as ābroadcasting TV/telekinetic signalsā. Thatās the reason I changed it to āTransformationā in one of my fics. However, one quick trip to le dictionary corrected me. Now I know that Transmission is the act of transferring something from one place to another. THATāS why he can do that fuckinā butterfly head thingā¦well my version doesnāt make sense anymore.
I really only have one idea for this and I find it perfect. Yāknow how akumas transmit powers to akumatized victims right? Well, what if the butterfly user could transmit themselves?
Hawkmothās new power is Swarm Shadow, it allows him to break his corporeal form into a swarm of butterflies, allowing him to blast across large distances in a reduced timeframe and re-materialize. Itās basically teleportation with extra steps.Ā
I always thought him being able to do that in Volpina was cool as hell and I wished canon came up with a way to incorporate that somedayā¦they didnāt.
This one is gonna be a bit shorter because I pretty much got a great idea the moment I thought about it for more than three seconds. The Peacock is the Miraculous of Emotion, right? Well, what better upgrade would there be than, well, controlling emotions?
Argosā new power is Vehementor, it allows him to subtly or blatantly influence a personās emotions, he can push positive or negative emotions onto someone, or soften certain emotions to calm someone down. Someone with a stronger will could of course resist this.Ā
I used Argos instead of Mayura because we clearly arenāt seeing her again for a while.Ā
Now THIS one is harder. The Fox Miraculous is one of Illusion, which is a power thatās so straight-forward that itās hard to think of anything to add to it without dipping into other domains. At one point, I thought of giving Rena a memory-based power, maybe the ability to take peopleās memories and project them in the form of illusions, but that seemed like it was a bit situational in nature.
Eventually, I did come up with something. Imagine an illusion so advanced that it covered you at all times and that you could alter at will. You can make yourself invisible by forcing the illusion to mimic your surroundings, you could make it look like youāre teleporting by disappearing and reappearing behind people in puffs of orange smoke, you could make yourself look like someone else, you could make someone think youāre a shapeshifter, pretty much anything!Ā
So, Rena Rougeās new power is Outfox, it allows her to manifest an illusion thatās connected to her brain and can react to her brain activity, twisting, shaping, and altering itself to whatever Rena can think of. Sheāll definitely need to focus to keep pulling this off, or else the illusion would go haywire and out of her control, but it could still be pretty damn cool.
The Turtle Miraculous is one of Protection, which sounds like it would be difficult to come up for something with. I always felt that when coming up with new powers for the Turtle, other fan-creators did some that justā¦didnāt feel right to me. They just didnāt focus on the āprotectionā part enough for me to feel like it made sense. My first idea for this was to give Carapace the ability to shape his shields into other stuff, and while I do think that would make for a good sub-power, it wouldnāt really fit for what Iām going for.
But then, I came up with something I like. Do you remember Metal Mario? Itās a powerup from, well, Mario, that gave him a thin coating of metal that enhanced his durability and strength. Iām going to give Nino something similar to that.
Carapaceās new power is Fortify, it allows him to create a forcefield thatās shaped around his body, allowing him to run around tanking attacks left and right. It also increases his physical strength, however, a downside is that he experiences a slight decrease in speed and agility.Ā
(Yes, I gave him and Rena similar powers intentionally, DJWifi is one of my favorite relationships, let me be)
Subjection!Ā
āWait, isnāt it Action no-ā SUBJECTION!
Subjection is an easy one. Subjection basically means ābringing something under your controlā. So what better power for this one than mind control?
Queen Beeās new upgraded power is Hive Mind, it allows her to stick someone with her trompo and bring them under her control, forcing them to do whatever she wants.
Notice how I said āQueen Beeā? Donāt worry Vesperia fans, Iām one of you, and Iām not leaving her out. In fact, Iām giving her a completely separate power upgrade. While Chloe would have no problem mind controlling someone, Zoe would likely find the conceptā¦icky.Ā So, weāll have to find something new for her. At first I wanted to give her the ability to control plants, because one, putting plants under subjection and two, bee, but that felt unoriginal. So, what did I go with? Something also unoriginal. Because whatās better than enacting subjection? Reversing it.
Vesperiaās new upgraded power is Layoff, it allows her to reverse low-level subjection, if someone else has you mind controlled, Vesperia can reverse that shit easy. Yes, itās basically Bee Balm from Scarlet Lady (zoe please donāt sue me).
ā¦ugh, fine, if I did consider the concept of Action, then the power would be Comb-Up, it would allow the user to drain the momentum from an object with the tip of the trompo to such a point that the object just completely freezes mid-air.
Weāve got the main 7 out of the way, letās get onto the time-hopping Miraculous itself, the Miraculous of Evolution. I have mixed feelings on the linking of Evolution to the Time Miraculous because, like, I get itā¦but like, it doesnāt match all that well. I mean, Duration was right there if you really wanted something time-related. It doesnāt make that much more sense than Evolution, but itās closer.
Now, at first, I focused a little too much on the time aspect, I thought of stealing time from someone else to slow them down DC style, I thought of enhancing her own time to speed herself up, I even thought of a power thatās actually going to the next Miraculous on the chopping block. But, I eventually got back to Evolution, and thought about what it means to evolve. And I came up with something pretty cool. What if Bunnyx could evolve objects?
Bunnyxās new power is Rush Job, it allows her to harness a small percentage of chronokinetic energies and apply it to an object to evolve it, bringing it to a higher level. For example, you got a car? Do you want it to fly? BOOM! Rush Job! Now your car has jets and wingsā¦.I feel like I havenāt explained it well enough.
The weakness of this one would be, I guess, when it evolves it looses one of itās best features from when it pre-evolved. Like, going back to the car, yeah it has jets now but thereās not a steering wheel anymore, just a steering mechanism thatās hella hard to get down. Also it wears off fast.
Ah, the Miraculous of the Snake, or as I like to call it, the one that basically lets you go ānuh-uhā. Intuition is a simple concept to get down, basically youāre super aware and have good instincts. This is also another wibbly wobbly time Miraculous, it and the Rabbit take turns making each other insignificant. This one was actually pretty easy for me, as I already had this power in mind for the snake for months now.Ā
Viperionās new power is Scale Factor, it allows him to peer through time to view the possible outcomes of each action they take, and adjust for certain happenings. He would have to focus hard, but I feel that shouldnāt be hard for Luka.
Bit of a detour, but the Horse Miraculousā power doesnāt make sense to me, mostly because itās a huge wasted opportunity. The concept is Migration, and thatās basically moving from one direction to another. And what are horses known for? Running! So the obvious conclusion for the Horseās power is PORTALS! Iām gonna give the Horse the power I think it shouldāve had in the first place.
Pegasusā new power is Steed, it allows him to sprint at incredible speeds, becoming a light green blur (same color as the portals).Ā
This oneā¦this one was the death of me. Because what the fuck is āDerisionā? I didnāt even know that was a word before Thomas decided to pull it out of his ass and slap it onto the table. Apparently is means, ācontemptuous ridicule or mockeryā. So basically, magic bullying. Now, how do I find another application of this? Credit where creditās due, Uproar is kinda perfect for the concept of Derision. Basically making your opponent the laughing stock by disrupting their power. After a few hours, I finally got it. What if your power made you the laughing stock.
What if youāre the jester, the joker, the one who made people laugh, whether they like it or not?
Roi Singeās new power is Quip King, it allows him to tell a joke so bad, a joke so cringe, a joke so unbelievably garbage, that anyone who hears it laughs at him. Forcibly. And they canāt stop. Itās basically Joker Venom but WAY less lethal. Canāt exactly threaten the city while your ribs are quaking.
Okay, Derision was the death of me, this buried me underground. This time, I knew what Perfection was, I just donāt know how that connects to the animal or the power. I mean, Ryuko has weather powers. The fuck does that have to do with Perfection? I mean, if you wanted her to have weather powers that bad, Precipitation was right there.Ā
Anyways, finding something to do with Perfection that still looped in with itās main power was very hardā¦so I just didn't. I straight up forgot about the āStorm Dragonā powers and focused completely on Perfection. Perfection means, well, making things perfect, so I thought of something like a stat booster, making the user a living unit of strength, speed, durability, and stamina. I realized that, one, that would be way too busted, and two, it would overshadow the turtleās new power. I eventually came up with something different though.
Ryukoās new power is Omni-Tongue, it allows her to understand and speak all existing languages, including ancient or fictional languages. Itās kind of situational but honestly, the Dragon is already one of the most busted of the Chinese Box, it doesnāt need another super flashy power.Ā
Ah yes, the Miraculous quite literally designed for Rose. Itās the Miraculous of Jubilation, meaning the feeling of great happiness or triumph. Iām sure youāre thinking āZen Master Charles, how the hell are you gonna find another application of this.ā Quiet, dear reader, as I know how to do this. I didnāt really have any other ideas for this one since the answer was pretty clear cut.
Pigellaās new power is Peace Out, it overloads whoever she hits with her tambourine with so much positive emotion that they canāt do anything else but frolic around and enjoy the worldās beauty.
What the fuck is āexaltationā?
āActually, the concept got changed to āelationā.ā Ahhhā¦what the fuck is āelationā?
Okay so Elation means āa feeling of great joy or prideā. Now, how the hell does that factor into a super punch? I have no idea, but I do have an idea of what itās upgraded power could be. See, when youāre super happy, youāre super energetic, like youāre bouncing around and shit. And you would need a lot of stamina for that, soā¦
Purple Tigressā new power is Resolver, it allows her to grant herself nigh-infinite stamina and a slight increase in speed and agility.Ā
Eezy dubs.
Polymouseās new power is Bootleg, it allows her to produce copies of physical objects, the only downside being that the copies will be of lower quality, yāknow, like a bootleg version.
Ah, pretension, a claim or assertion of a claim to something. It actually makes sense paired with the power of the Miraculous itself, good job Thomas! Of course the power itself is busted beyond all accounts and makes the rest of the show seem like it couldāve been solved if at least one character had an IQ above room temperature. Itās hard to come up with something new for Pretension because itās such aā¦specific term.
My first idea was a power that allowed the user to create a specific rule that had to be followed within a certain area, but that sounded busted. Too busted, even by the standards of the power it already has. However, once I wrote this off, I had an idea. How about, instead of creating rules, the Rooster hero could break them?
So, Rooster Boldās new power is Rebel Roost, it allows him to make himself exempt from any rule or law by writing it with his feather pen dagger. Seems pretty useless at first right? WRONG! Laws of gravity? Fuck you, I can fly. Rules of Nature? Hey, mouse! You can kill that cat thatās been hunting you now! Yes, itās broken, but so is itās other power.
Another eezy dub, yāknow how passion basically means youāre dedicated towards something and have strong emotions towards it? And when itās at itās peak, nothing can keep you away from it?
Caprikidās new power is Scapegoat, it allows him to become intangible, meaning that he can walk and/or float through physical objects, but he canāt touch them until he deactivates the power.
The Ox Miraculous of Determination, in the simplest terms, is literally a big blue ānuh uhā button. Surprisingly, it also makes sense paired with the power Astruc came up with! Iām tired as hell so Iām not gonna explain my thought process here.
Minatauroxās new power is Oxenfree, it allows him to supply his allies with boosts to their willpower. Itās lazy, I know, idc. (God, Iām falling off.)
THE FINAL ONE, YEEEEES
The Miraculous of the Dog holds the concept of Adoration, makes sense with the animal, not so much the power. Now, how the hell am I supposed to find another application of Adorationā¦actually itās quite easy. Itās the same thing as the Horse, where all I have to do is give it the power I think it shouldāve had in the first place.Ā
Miss Houndās new power is Track Star, it allows her to target a specific person and track them down wherever they go.Ā
~~hide away, hide away from me, hide away, hide away from me-~~
IāM FINALLY FUCKING DONE!Ā
Guys, this took me 10 days.
Alright, if you have any alternate ideas you want to share or want to use any of these for your fics, make sure to comment below.
I love thinking of Miraculous AUs, but I'm also indecisive. I don't really think I'm good at making these things and soon after I post'em they look bad to me. Even if my writing is good, I look back at it and cringe. But, I think I like this one. This is the Paon Royale AU.
Ā Major Change: The major alteration of this AU is that Hawkmoth doesn't have the Peacock or the Butterfly Miraculous. Instead, the Butterfly Miraculous was recovered by Fu and the Peacock Miraculous is being used by a mysterious evil miraculous holder. The identity of this holder will be kept secret for now, but the holder is related to the Agreste Family (but it isn't Gabriel or Felix).Ā Ā Another major change is that Nathaniel is Marinette's childhood best friend, so Alya won't be Marinette's best friend here. A good friend, but not her best friend.
Ā Minor Changes:
ā¤Ā There will be a lot of Kwami Swaps. I thought about how other characters would look and act with different Miraculouses and abilities. A lot of information won't be given right now, but I'll get the obvious one out of the way. Nathaniel gets the Miraculous of the Fox. Alya won't get a Miraculous until Season 3 in this AU.
ā¤Ā The powers, weapons, and appearances of the Miraculouses will all be changed. I've had a lot of ideas for redesigned Miraculouses and they're pretty cool in my opinion. For example, Ladybug has two yoyos that look like actual yoyos instead of one yoyo that looks like a disc. Chat Noir has a staff with a wooden texture and two golden panther head shaped pommels.
ā¤Ā Marinette and Nathaniel will be a lot more confident because of being a lot closer than in the canon. Marinette won't be afraid to step up to Chloe and Nathaniel regularly tells off Sabrina.
ā¤Ā Sentimonsters will be much more humanoid. For example, Soundtrack (replacing Bubbler) will be a humanoid technological-being with a bubble wand where it's hand would be and a sound cannon where it's other hand would be. The Wild Diamond (replacing Animan) will simply be a diamond that controls all animals. Powerline (replacing Lady Wifi) will be a mass of sentient electric wires that manipulates technological objects.
ā¤Ā Chat Noir plays a bigger role in this AU. Because most if not all of the fanbase notices that in the canon, Chat is treated like a sidekick, not a partner.
ā¤Ā Gabriel does not need a Miraculous to be evil. Yeah, we're making him horrible. He's homophobic, mentally and emotionally abusive, blackmails a lot of people, and even hits Adrien when he steps too out of line. When Plagg sees this, he wants to Cataclysm Gabe on the spot, but he's got Adrien under his spell. Adrien blames himself and tells Plagg that it's his fault.
ā¤Ā Adrien blames himself for a lot of things in this AU because Gabriel convinced him that a lot of things are his fault. Plagg tries to tell the kid that some things aren't his fault, but he doesn't listen.
ā¤Ā Adrien is a closet bisexual and has a huge crush on Jean Duparc. He doesn't think what he has is a crush and is close friends with Jean. Plagg can tell though and hints at it, but Adrien is dense in this AU. Not as dense as in canon, but still dense.
ā¤Ā Marinette doesn't have a crush on Adrien in this AU because he apologized and cleared things up. She sees him as a close friend, and instead, she doesn't have a love interest until Luka. I ship Lukanette with all my heart.
ā¤Ā Since Ladybug and Chat Noir are going to have all these other powers, I realized that the Lucky Charm and Cataclysm will be kind of overshadowed. So, I thought of making them powerful and still a one time use. Ladybug can create whatever she wants with the Lucky Charm, and Chat Noir can create a sphere of destruction and aim his Cataclysm.
⤠I also had an idea of the Ladybug and Black Chat Miraculouses being able to create and destroy memories, but it's a risky power and they would need to be careful with it.
āParasitic hive mindā sure is an interesting way to say polycule
descendants as textposts, inspired by @kybee1497 !!
And now I've done this. Goddamn overwhelming creative spirit. Anyway, I didn't really change a lot because you don't really have to when parodying this song. It's an all-around happy love song that can apply to a lot of fictional couples. As always, if you love it, tell me, if you hate it, still tell me.
Love is an Open Door

Donāt know if itās the moment talking or the lights shining blue
[Pre-Chorus: Miguel and Sam, Both]
But with you (But with you)
I found my place (I see your face)
Youāre not the one that I thought Iād fall for

[Verse 2: Sam]
We finish each others-
[Verse 2: Miguel]
Sentences!
[Verse 2: Sam]
*chuckles* Thatās what I was gonna say
Iām never met someone who
[Verse 2: Sam and Miguel, Both]
Thinks so much like me
Jinx!
Jinx again!
Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation
You and I were just meant to be!
[Pre-Chorus 2: Miguel and Sam, Both]
Say goodbye (say goodbye) the misplacement has passed
Iāve got to say I feel this to the core
[Chorus 2: Miguel and Sam, Both]
Love is an open door
Love is an open door (Door)
Life can be so much more
With you, with you
With you, with you
Love is an open door (Door)
