History Fanfic / HawkmothGetsAReference

* HumanoidAbomination: Dark Tyrant is this. An emancipated black figure with all the flesh of her fingers melted off her body and her face a porcelain mask showing a SlasherSmile full of teeth.
* HijackingCthulhu: [[spoiler:Despite Hawkmoth's refusal to grant Audrey akuma powers, her own spiteful and vindictive attitude let's her steal some of his power, with Hawkmoth barely able to break the connection before she could drain him completely]].

** [[SuccubiAndIncubi Incubus]], the Akuma at the start of the story, has CharmPerson powers over women... but ''only'' women. Once the heroes figure that out, they just have Chat Noir use himself as a HumanShield to keep Ladybug from being effected.

** During the anime binge, Gabriel expresses his frustration at how a male protagonist is missing the obvious signs that his female friend likes him. This rant [[LoveEpiphany helps Adrien realize his mutual feelings between him and Marinette]].

** It's revealed that Juleka not only wasn't aware that Rose liked her back before Shipmaster got to them, but that ''they were dating'' the whole time and she didn't realize, not even when trying out swimsuits together or even kissing. In the chat fic, Rose is very much peeved about the whole thing, at least until Juleka offers her a trip to the pool and promises to wear the bikini she bought for her on her birthday.
* SeenItAll: In the chat fic, Alya isn't too fazed finding out that Kagami likes Marinette romantically, given that several girls (herself and Chlóe included) all had a crush on Marinette at one point or another.

** Luka finds out that Marinette is Ladybug when he sees her transform [[FailedASpotCheck without checking if anyone is around]]. He lampshades that she needs to work on her spacial awareness.
** In the chat fic, thanks to a few statements from Marnette after she shared her SecretIdentity, [[spoiler:Alya figures out that Adrien is Chat Noir]].
** [[spoiler:Emilie knew that her son is a super-hero since the first day, though he isn't aware that an emotional construct of her has been watching over her family]].

** They are a few ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' reference, namely Ladybug creating her own "Stand" in chapter 20 and the Sentimonster Reality Check referring to himself as Gabriel's Stand.
** In chapter 43, they are a trio of hotel staff named [[WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated Arthur, Lewis, and Vivi]]

* TraumaCongaLine: Domestichaos has Audrey hand deliver one to...well, ''everyone'', but Chloe deserves special mention. In the span of what couldn't have been more than a few ''minutes,'' Audrey insults her girlfriend, slaps her hard enough to draw blood, and is outed for ''trying to kill her as an infant'' by her father. Audrey then declares her intention to fight for custody for her and force into a carbon copy of herself just to spite André, prompting him to ''willingly Akumatize himself'' to stop her. ''Then,'' Audrey tries to take the Akumatization for herself, and when Hawkmoth tells her no, ''hijacks the Akuma'' to get powers anyway. And when Marinette pulls her ass out of the fire, Chloe realizes that Sabrina's ''still in there'' and she can't do anything about it. She nearly hits the DespairEventHorizon before Hawkmoth of all people shows up with Sabrina in tow.

* EntertainlyWrong: After the Sentimonster Reality Check completes his mission of helping Marinette and Adrien communicate, his creator Azur Royal decides to let him live as the [[ArtificialFamilyMember the Agreste's family's newest son]], a stark contrast from Hawkmoth or Mayura who dispelled their sentimonsters like Sentibug [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness when they are no longer needed or turn against them]]. This leads to Alya to conclude that Azur Royal is an AntiHero that stole the Peacock Miraculous from Hawkmoth and is skirting around the law. She's unaware that Azur Royal is Gabriel Agreste AKA Hawkmoth, his decision to spar and adopt Reality Check the result of [[TookALevelInKindness noticeable character growth as he improves his connection with the Miraculous]].

* ExactWords: After finding out that Felix attempted to sabotage Adrien's relationship with his friends and girlfriend, Gabriel creates an akuma and orders it to find the person with the strongest negative emotion to hunt down Felix... and it flies straight to [[PapaWolf him]] first.

* AdaptationalVillainy: '''Audrey'''''''', full stop.''''' You thought she was bad in canon? In the first chapter she gets, she insults Sabrina's dressware and demands to have her thrown out of the party being hosted, reacts with open disgust at Chloe calling defending calling the girl her girlfriend, ''strikes her hard enough to draw blood'' when she tries defending herself, and when André finally realizes how much of a monster she is and annuls the marriage, he reveals that '''''she tried to smother Chloe as an infant for crying too loud.''''' Oh, and she to decides fight for custody of Chloe ''specifically'' so André can't keep her, [[EvilIsPetty purely out of spite.]] [[FromBadToWorse And things just get worse from there.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: '''Audrey.''' You thought she was bad in canon? In the first chapter she gets, she insults Sabrina's dressware and demands to have her thrown out of the party being hosted, reacts with open disgust at Chloe calling defending calling the girl her girlfriend, ''strikes her hard enough to draw blood'' when she tries defending herself, and when André finally realizes how much of a monster she is and annuls the marriage, he reveals that '''''she tried to smother Chloe as an infant for crying too loud.'''''

Oh, and she decides fight for custody of Chloe ''specifically'' so André can't keep her. [[FromBadToWorse And things just get worse from there.]]

* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Besides the whole "give the Miraculous to Hawk Moth" part, Alya as Shipmaster also makes Lila go obsessed over Chloe with her "[=LiBee=]" ship as payback for Lila claiming to ship Ladybee after getting annoyed by Alya's ShipperOnDeck behavior.

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Unlike past akumas, the new akumas created by Hawkmoth {{Subvert|edTrope}} this and keep full memories of what they have done, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone often to devastating effect]].

** Dutch's powers cause anyone he touches, anyone ''they'' touch, and so on to immediately transform into their fursonas. This is to try and bypass the {{Glamour}} that protects Miraculous users, since it can't hide their ''species'' like it can identifying features. The heroes only get around it by recruiting temporary heroes to use their Miraculouses.

** During the anime binge, Gabriel expresses his frustration at how a male protagonist is missing the obvious signs that his female friend likes him. This rant [[LoveEphinany helps Adrien realize his mutual feelings between him and Marinette]].

* NotSoImaginaryFriend: What Gabriel thought was his consciousness taking on Emilie's voice and mannerism after improving his compatability with the Butterfly Miraculous [[spoiler:is revealed to be a [[AstralProjection manifestation of Emilie's emotions]] while she's still in a coma]].

** PlayedForLaughs when Gabriel and Adrien are watching ''Anime/KillLaKill'', with Gabriel horrified when he sees the flashback of [[BigBad Ragyo]] [[spoiler:throwing away an infant Ryuko in the trash]].

* AdaptationalSexuality: Chlóe in canon never showed interested in girls, yet here she's a lesbian, and admits that her crush on Adrien [[TheBeard was just for show]], not that she fully realized it until Shipmaster's powers affected her.

* BullyingADragon: Upon debuting his new look, Hawk Moth lampshades that the people of Paris were mocking a man who creates supervillains with their list of Akumas that look like they were designed on drugs, and now that he's been made aware of his failings he's a ''much'' more dangerous threat.

** Played much more seriously in "Domestichaos", where Hawkmoth tells Audrey he has no interest akumatizing someone [[spoiler:that attempted to murder their own child]].

** In chapter 43, they are a trio of hotel staff named [[MysterySkullAnimated Arthur, Lewis, and Vivi]]

* HijackingCthulhu:

* AdaptationalSexuality: Chlóe in canon never showed interested in girls, yet here she's a lesbian, and admits that her crush on Adrien [[TheBeard was just for show]].

** Shipmaster’s abilities are designed to take advantage of Chat Noir's tendency to end up TakingTheBullet for Ladybug, as her blasts cause the person who provides the first part of the relevant ship name of the pairing, and since their ship name is "Ladynoir", all Shipmaster has to do is hit Chat to take Ladybug out of the fight. Marinette directly refers to her as their "counter".
** Dutch's powers cause anyone he touches, anyone ''they'' touch, and so on to transform into their fursonas. This is to try and bypass the {{Glamour}} that protects Miraculous users, since it can't hide their ''species'' like it can identifying features. The heroes only get around it by recruiting temporary heroes to use their Miraculouses.

* VisualPun: Shipmaster is an Akuma based on {{Shipping}} who also has a naval theme (as in, actual ships). [[Invoked]]

* AdaptationalSexuality: Chlóe in canon never showed interested in girls, yet here she's a lesbian, and admits that her crush on Adrien was just for show.

** Shipmaster's powers cease to affect Ladybug when she de-transforms and changes back, since her civilian self's ship names are different from her hero self's.

* ShoutOut: When Chlóe temporarily uses the Ladybug Earrings, she dons the name "Beetelle". Sabrina, however, says that she always imagined that Chlóe would pick "Webcomic/ScarletLady" as her superhero name if she ever became the Ladybug hero, with Chlóe agreeing that it's a good name, but feels that she shouldn't use it for some reason.

** [[SuccubiAndIncubi Incubus]], the Akuma at the start of the story, has CharmPerson powers over women... but ''only'' women. Once the heroes figure that out, they just have Chat Noir use himself as a HumanShield to keep Ladybug from being effective.
