Description

Part 20 ( Part 21Part 19 ,  Part 1 )


(Damn, Alya talks so much, I hope her speech is readable lol %D)
(Please don’t judge the background (well yeah there is something in the background and I was trying to do it according to screenscaps from the show you know!) and colouring too hard - I know it’s not very fine but I’m doing my best really (friendly reminder that I do it traditionally, by hand, picture by picture))

It is a reveal story that I had in my head since about November, so now I’m finally starting to post it. It is my first ever try to make a comic so I guess there gonna be some offence against comic rules here and there (also my poor editing skills), still I hope someone will like it and enjoy as I am when drawing it.

It is my version of possible reveal story and though I haven’t actually read any (fanfiction nor comic or so) I guess there’s lots of them around so I guess it’s possible there might be some similarities, but if so, it wasn’t intentional, right?

Still - Please don’t repost, edit or use anyhow, I’m putting lots of effort into it and I want to decide myself where and how would I present it. Thank you.

Given Alya's intuition and ideas, it's strange that she hasn't see through Ladybug's identity yet! She's really cut out to be a journalist, isn't she?
I absolutely love Alya's expressions! All of them!
About the background, I think it's okay. It's cool that it doesn't mix with the foreground and it doesn't draw attention from the characters. The characters are most important here

I think Marinette's rather shy and modest nature, together with her occasional clumsiness and so makes her good shield, on the other hand given Marinette's sudden disappearing happening pretty often and some other weird things happening around her, Alya should have suspect something is behind all that. (I mean canon Alya, MY Alya certainly is suspicious lol!). (you said you read all parts so when Alya later mentions Marinette arranging an interview with Ladybug for Alya - that was really in one episode (I think you said you watched only the Origins some time ago?). In this episode (sorry if you saw it and I'm explaining it to you) Alya got a short video when Ladybug after one fight went straight to her, greeted her and made a compliment on her blog. Alya - of course - runs straight to Marinette to show her and Marinette - of course - accidentally deleted the video from Alya's cell phone. Later she tries to fix it, "borrows" Alya's phone and tries to take another video on her own (like Alya certainly wouldn't notice the difference? With no people around and stuff? Really, Marinette?), but it's not that easy of course and then akuma attack happens and at the end of the episode Marinette decides just confess to Alya, using also words like "and when I tried to fix it" (like how exactly could she try to fix it if she didn't "know" Ladybug?) ending with the mentioned interview when she - of course - couldn't go with Alya but "waits for her in front of the building". I mean like - Alya, are you blind or what?? %D. Not recognizing superheroes in their normal life is the things that gets on my nerve since I watched Sailor Moon for the first time (and Sailor Senshi don't even wear any mask!) so I had to explain to myself as part of the magic.
I wonder if canon Alya would ever know about Ladybug's true identity...
(uh, I got carried away "a bit", sorry! )

Anyway - thank you for the compliment on Alya'a expressions, I was pretty satisfied with them myself so I'm glad it's not just me! (plus compliment on expression in general is big compliment for me)
And thank you for the comment on the background, I'm glad you see it like that!

Yeah, not recognizing heroes is always funny but everyone just pretends it's okay. Although I guess Alya could just miss these indications about Ladybug's identity... although she could get a little suspicious, given that Marinette and Ladybug are never seen in the same place. But well I just wonder if the producers ever plan to reveal Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities to each other and if Alya will ever get to know the truth

ilwin In reply to lichotka [2017-11-19 14:05:07 +0000 UTC]

I think they plan reveal for Marinette and Adrien and I think everyone is expecting it to happen in second or third season. Not sure if makers of the show indicated something or fandom just guess. 
Not sure about Alya though she should get her own miraculous and become superheroine herself so I guess she'd have different problems than thinking about Ladybug's identity lol. (I hope you don't mind spoilers , though there's lots of Volpina!Alya fanart here to be seen so you probably came across it yourself anway (well maybe not when you're not following any ML group) )

Well, there are some shows that are based on 'never revealing the truth' concept, like, dunno, Inspector Gadget or Phineas and Ferb (these are examples that came to my mind now, though there are probably much more of them) - like every single episode is based on the same scheme and it never changes. But I think it'd be much more interesting if 'Miraculous' actually made the reveal. As in your comic - there is plenty of room for funny misunderstandings and both of them feeling awkward

Agree. Though I would leave it like that for some time yet. Also bit afraid everything might be... too fast. Don't know how to say it, but what I meant is that there's lots of things said to happen in new seasons - not sure if everything already in second but there should be more Miraculous holders and more happening between Marinette and Adrien and everyone expects the big reveal as well and it just sounds too much "at once" for me. But maybe I'm just imagining it too dramatic and it wouldn't be like that, some of it might be actually only the third season so... We'll just have to wait and see...

Well, no one says it could be at once... I guess that reveal story could last at least the whole season if not more Let's say, at the end of next season e.g. Marinette discovers something that indicates that Adrien is Chat Noir, so the next season is about her trying to become sure about this... If the authors are smart enough, they won't rush anything.

ilwin In reply to lichotka [2017-11-19 20:27:21 +0000 UTC]

I hope so (that they won't rush anything), it just seems to me that there's so much planned for next season (or two) that it worries me a bit. Though I don't know how many episodes there are supposed to be and most likely all of it won't happen in one season so maybe I'm just thinking about it too much lol. (well when I think about it, I mostly think about my comics lol)

But are these things official statements or just rumours? If rumours, I wouldn't worry. I mean, if I were the producer, I'd prefer to make 2 or even 3 seasons about the reveal, because otherwise the fans could lose interest too soon (and it's always better to sell 2 seasons than 3).

New miraculous holders (yes, plural) and "more between Adrien and Marinette" are official spoilers (well new miraculous holders are, the other thing is something Thomas Astruc confirmed on his twitter), as for the  reveal for Marinette and Adrien, not sure if it was said at some con or something but according to something Thomas said on his twitter, it is planned. Oh and last time I forgot to mention new powers that Ladybug should get. I don't think there was said when particularly this is meant to happen, but I think except of the reveal, it sounded that the rest was "spoilers for next season" so... But they might have meant it to be for next two seasons as well so yeah. As I said, we'll just have to wait and see

This might be the way to stir up fans' interest. If they mention that reveal might happen in this season, the fans will wait for every single episode. And then they may just throw one or two hints about it.
So yeah, the best way is just to wait and see

lo, subtle cough there, Marinette. They totally don't know each other out of costume or anything (sarcasm). Let's go get those pastries!
