ind. priv. highly selective. headcanon based. hawkmoth of miraculous ladybug. by haley. READ ALL PAGES BEFORE INTERACTION !
letters.
DECREE
i . this blog is heavily canon divergent . my version of le papillon was created entirely from scratch . he is not gabriel agreste . to keep things short , canon hawk moth is too badly written and boring to find remotely interesting lmao . you all need to respect me and my creative work . i'm currently hard at work on an upcoming project for dorian .
ii . selective / private , mutual exclusive , and low activity . if i am not following you back , you are forbidden from any sort of interaction that is in character . i block non mutuals that try and bypass this rule . i manage several other blogs that can be found @ queenedstyle , swordhonor , spotlady , and blueplumes . i can't remain constantly active on any of my blogs . don't pressure me and we're cool .
iii . duplicates of papillon are welcome here , however note that i will not follow / unfollow if i am stolen from , being made to feel like it's a competition , or i notice any hints of insecurity . i busted my ass to create my papillon from absolutely nothing , every little characteristic and whatnot applies to my version of him and him alone . in regards to insecurity , i am not responsible for your own lack of confidence lmfao . grow a damn backbone and deal with it yourself . feeling down on one's portrayal is understandable on a standalone , but if those feelings develop because of me , then i don't know what to say . : /
iv . icons , graphics , banners , etc . are crafted by me or for me . again , don't steal .
v . i practice mains and exclusivity . regarding ladybugs and chat noirs , i take up to three portrayals of each character for mains . this is to better maintain unique plot lines for specific portrayals and whatnot . exclusives in the miraculous fandom are unlikely to happen . i ask that request for either status be mutual otherwise don't bother approaching me for it .
vi . i can promise i'm easily approachable in spite of what my rules may make you believe otherwise ! thank you for reading !
Dorian Arnaud appears well put together from an outside perspective . Conducting music and ballet dancing are his passions . Handsome , charismatic , and compassionate ; perhaps even irresistible when he wants to be . He is an empath , soaking up emotions whether they belong to him or not . He resents such an ability - his blessing and curse ; he'll outright avoid the general public if it means even some short lived solitude to get on track with his true emotions . He enjoys the perks too , those who know Dorian oft thank him for his phenomenal listening ability and insight . Few are aware he is living a double life : the supervillain Le Papillon . With the Butterfly Miraculous found and wielded for his pleasure ; he exploits and manipulates the negative emotions of others , turning them into supervillains tasked with obtaining the Miraculous of creation and destruction . He has a disastrous tendency to fight other people's battles for them even if it's not welcome . One can say Dorian and Le Papillon are not entirely the same : there are notable characteristics present in Dorian and absent in Le Papillon and vice versa alongside those he exhibits with or without the mask .
Renée Cordier is Dorian's significant other and ally . Wielding the Peacock Miraculous as Mayura , she is Le Papillon's superior . I write her @ blueplumes where more information on her can be found !

LUCI’S “BUT THE ORIGINAL IMAGE WAS WHITEWASHED IS A SHIT EXCUSE” PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL
Scrolling through photos of my OC’s faceclaim is really irritating. She’s somewhat light-skinned, but she is half Black, not that youwouldknow it by looking at her in most of her pictures, except the ones where she’s not wearing makeup and skin editing is minimized, such as theseones where you can see her freckles.
I used to just get annoyed whenever I put the same PSD over one picture of her that didn’t leave her looking whitewashed and another that made her skin literally #ffffff white. But then I did some really quick googling and found some ways of editing skin tone, particularly for the sake of darkening skin tone. I’ve laid out the simple process here, under the cut, with the before and after shown here (note that she is still somewhat light skinned because she is not a dark skinned person and I am not trying to pretend she is, but as shown at the end of this tutorial, this does work on dark skinned people who have been whitewashed);
