Blog / Another Life With Parisian Superheroes

Another Life With Parisian Superheroes (alternatively known as ALWPS) is a Miraculous Ladybug roleplay hosted on Tumblr. The blogs follow the characters of Miraculous as they go about their daily lives in the city of Paris. The roleplay has an archive blog here that keeps track of all the major developments, and a character list here. Be warned that the second link does not work in the Tumblr app.

Tropes

• Abusive Parents: Gabriel Agreste, obviously, but also Kaitlyn's mom and Rosetta's parents.
• Apocalypse How: A Class 1 example in the Life Without Parisian Superheroes arc, as a result of Hawkmoth not paying the price of the Wish.
• Archnemesis Dad: Hawkmoth and previously Dadmoth.
• The Bad Guy Wins: Hawkmoth gets a hold of the Miraculous and makes the Wish at the end of the Strike Back arc.
• Badass Boast: Tikki gives one to Nino before the Denny's Fight.
  Tikki: Know you not who you deal with, mortal? I am Tikki, kwami of creation. I saw the birth of this universe. I have witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. Battles fought and wars conquered. I have fought in wars myself. Do you truly believe I cannot defeat a mere teenager?
• Berserk Button: Someone disliking cookie's is Tikki's, as Marc found out the hard way.
• Can't Hold His Liquor: Dadmoth tends to enter Drunkmoth mode after only a couple of shots.
• Cassandra Truth: Played With. When trying to explain lying to Nathan, Tikki provides an example:
  it's really easy to lie on the internet
  for example
  marinette is ladybug
  see? easy
  you can't just trust everything someone says
• Conspiracy Theorist: Eiffel Tower Is Tikki Anon, who is convinced that, well, the Eiffel Tower is actually Tikki.
• Crack Defeat: Tikki, in her true godlike form, fought Nino, an ordinary Parisian teenager... and Nino won.
• Denser and Wackier: The roleplay is considerably more comedy based than the main show, frequently doing things not because it makes canon sense but because Rule of Funny. Lampshaded by Bridgette and Joanne:
  Bridgette: never assume we will shrug off anything stupid, ever
  Joanne: Our entire blogs run on stupid.
• Didn't Think This Through: When Wayzz asks if someone can livestream the Denny's fight for him, Bridgette volunteers. Come the fight, she notices a problem:
  Bridgette: i promised i'd livestream it for wayzz but im not sure we thought this through cuz kwamis can't appear on video
  so the livestream just shows nino freak out over nothing and attacking a ghost
• Drunk on Milk: Everyone who's an Agreste or sentimonster, though Adrien and Nathan are the worst offenders.
• Evil Counterpart: The Conqueror was this to the Visitor.
• Hypocritical Humor: During a Syren attack, Tikki pokes fun at Paris's Skewed Priorities in live blogging an akuma attack... while blogging from inside the Miraculous, since Ladybug was actively transformed. Shadow Moth calls her out on this.
• Ironic Nursery Tune: Stormy Weather sings one on her way to find Alec.
• Killer Yo-Yo: Ladybug, as in canon. Bridgette also has one that she can use even when not transformed.
• Love Dodecahedron: Marc noticed this with Hawkmoth, Mayura, and the Agrestes, only for it to quickly ecalate◊.
  Marc: i swear is EVERY adult in paris in this?
• Mass "Oh, Crap!": The reactions to Tikki revealing her true form in the Denny's fight.
  Nino: WAIT WHAT
  WHAT THE FRIG
  HEY
  NO
  BRO????? SINCE WHEN WERE YOU
  WHAT
  AGH????
  Lila: i am beginning to regret some comments i may have made in the past
  Eiffel Tower: ...you know what? I'm Tikki. Or I'm not Tikki. I don't even know anymore. Which one is safer for me?
• Monumental Damage: Lampshaded constantly by the Eiffel Tower.
• Must Have Caffeine: Luka and Bridgette developed quite the coffee addiction due to their knowledge of everyone's identities.
• Night of the Living Mooks: One of Mourning Cloak's akumas created an army created full of every Parisian that ever died. This included Chat Noir's many lives.
• The Power of Friendship: How Nino defeated Tikki during the Denny's fight.
• Reset Button: Invoked. Whenever something drastic occurs that goes too deep against Miraculous canon, the timeline is reset to a previous point. Resets have included:
  • Luka confessing he knew Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities, resetting back to shortly before Sentibug was revived.
  • Bridgette revealing that Gabriel Agreste is Shadowmoth, resetting to "We Don't Talk About [REDACTED]".
  • The entire Life Without Parisian Superheroes arc, resetting back to the begining of the main series.
• Running Gag: Perfume Anon, an anon that has an unhealthy addiction to drinking Gabriel-brand perfume.
  • The Eiffel Tower and Tikki being one and the same.
• Take That!: Bridgette questions why Disney filmed her death:
  Lila: Money.
  Bridgette: disney in a nutshell right there
• Tyop on the Cover: Chat Noir's URL was misspelled as "defintelynotchatnoirshh". It got fixed after it was pointed out.
  • Similarly, the Eiffel Tower's URL was briefly misspelled as real-eiffel-towel. It also got fixed after it was pointed out.
• Unconventional Wedding Dress: Marc wore a rainbow half-dress half-suit to his wedding with Nathaniel.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Nino's reaction to Tikki asking if Adrien killed Emilie.
  Nino: god i'm fighting you
• X Days Since: The Eiffel Tower kept one of these pinned regarding how many times it's been destroyed by akumas. It was temporarily removed during the Life Without Parisian Superheroes arc, then temporarily removed a second time after the full reset. There is also a second counter, tracking how many days it's been since Eiffel Tower Is Tikki Anon has spreaded a conspiracy theory.
