Miraculous Office AU (Part 5) - Reunion Arc

[@emzurl]

📢 PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW: This behemoth of an episode took 7 months, but it’s finally complete! Thank you to everyone who has stuck around and been patient, I know these take a while but I am only one person and there’s only so much I can do. Your constant support and excitement are greatly appreciated and make ME excited to continue this series. 🥰 For those of you who are new, or weren’t aware before, please make sure to visit mlofficeau.carrd.co for info on the series, FAQ answers, and updates on my progress. ✨ Now for the important announcement: WE’VE REACHED THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE SERIES!!! 🎉 I have 10 arcs planned overall and arc 5 marks the halfway climax. I started this series back in May 2020 and it’s been quite the ride. I didn’t realize then how big this was going to get, but I’m so thankful! With that being said, I do need to take a few months hiatus from the series. At this time, I’m unsure when I’ll be starting up arc 6 on Patreon. During this time, I need to focus on real life stuff, as well as produce and finalize the ML Office AU merch line (which I plan to launch later this year). Please note, I will not be posting arc 6 parts on Patreon during this time off, but I will still continue to fulfill other benefits. When I begin working on arc 6, I will make an announcement on all of my social media, as well as in the KZbin community tab. Other info to note if you weren’t aware: Aside from all of the voice actors and translators I work with, everything else in this series is done by one person - me. This is why it takes so long to make. Since I work almost full time on this, I use Patreon to support myself financially as well as pay voice actors and translators. This series is NOT made for free, it would be impossible to do that. Hence why I need to fund it through Patreon. I have always planned for this entire series to be released for free, and it will be. But for those who do not subscribe to my Patreon, you’ll have to wait until a full arc is completed before you get it for free. I unfortunately don’t have time to respond to everyone’s comments, so I greatly appreciate those who have taken the time to explain things to others who have asked about this! With that, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ALL!!! And I'd like to extend a very special thanks to all of my patrons, without whom this series would not exist. I truly hope you enjoy this arc, a lot of love and hard work was poured into it! 💗

I like that Felix fell in love with Marinette instead of Ladybug in this arc, and that Ladybug and Chat Noir's relationship has just been shown to be a strong partnership so far. There's much more to be seen of LB and CN in this arc but it's just honestly so refreshing not to have to see the complicated love square play out and overcomplicate everything, instead we get more into their civilian lives and actual character development and I just love that

[@hawklegs6940]

I hope to see more of LB and CN's dynamic! I'd like to take a guess: Felix can let loose and have a lot more fun as chat noir, which probably clashed with Marinette in the beginning since she's been so serious about keeping everyone safe and finding Hawkmoth. I think over time they grew to understand each other and work better as a team, but still have that core difference between fun-loving and business-like.

[@fellinskiecream8546]

Why is it that literally everybody writes Chloe better than the writers of the show!?!?

[@anjaturdiu3070]

IDK!!!

[@frogs2822]

I feel like the writers wrote her as a Villaine and thought we would all hate her so thay didn't give her much thought and when the show dropped everyone just loved her

[@dphantom1314]

@frogs2822 My issue with that is, then why do they keep trying to make her pointless? Lyra is a better foil to Marinette and actually succeeds in half her plans. Zoe is a better queen bee, and through her, we learn more about Andre, Chloe's family, and they even made her A GODDAMN LESBIAN THAT SECRETLY HAS A CRUSH ON MARINETTE!!!! Hell, even now, when she gets Akumatised, she's such an afterthought that the class was able to take her down in the background without powers while Marinette worked through her actual problems. They have plenty of story potential with Chloe, whether that be making her a full villain or redeeming her, but they keep choosing to do neither and just make her a generic bully. And i just don't see why, after all the character development they gave her in season 2 and 3. Hell, she was the first person to completely reject Hawk Moth's influence on her own. Even Marinette couldn't do that. Why give her moments like this and do nothing with her character? Edit: To any future people that read this and are confused why I put the lesbian part in caps. A common trope in several miraculous fan creations is to turn Chloe into a lesbian. Then, have her romantically interested in Sabrina or have her in the closet with a crush on Marinette. I'm not mad they made Zoe a lesbian. I'm mad they're using ideas similar to ones fans have come up with to progress Zoe's character and make Chloe more irrelevant. Similar to how Hermione in the Harry Potter movies does all the cool shit Ron did in the books.

[@MMDTrxsh]

Because Thomas Astruc literally hates her with a burning passion and refuses to let her have anything better than being a generic second rate bully/villain. She was practically demoted to being Lila's little sidekick in evil, which is the best writing she's ever going to get in the later seasons through a sense of irony (since Chloe herself was known for having a little evil underling, she was basically placed in that role herself.)

I love how Marinette and Felix here are literally the epitome of “A fell first but B fell harder,” because Mari has always liked Felix since she first met him basically, to the point where she seems to have just sort of blocked her feelings out enough to have normal interactions and just normal day to day life in general. Meanwhile, Felix just… started liking Marinette out of nowhere, so suddenly that he didn’t even have time to realize the feelings himself and had to have someone point it out to him (he’s also maybe a little bit dense but we love him anyways😌).

[@snowcloud8]

While the character development is amazing for this series, you should to take into account the type of audience, genre, and kind of shows these two different series cater to. The original series is very much a monster-of-the-week, magical girl/superhero action series with romantic overtones (much like Sailor Moon was), which gives us more action scenes, filler, and is made for younger audiences. This fan animated parody series is based on The Office, which is a comedy slice-of-life mockumentary made largely for adults that emphasizes more about the day-to-day interpersonal relationships and less about them being superheroes. We don't get to see the akuma fights or Chat Noir and Ladybug's interactions, which gives this series more time to breathe and focus more on the relationships of the actual characters rather than their costumed aliases. Also, because this is largely based on the original early concepts of Miraculous Ladybug, Felix does not genuinely love Ladybug (since Felix's original goal in that concept was to woo Ladybug because a kiss from her would break his bad luck curse) and finds no issue of choosing between her and Marinette, thus eliminating the love triangle/square debacle that has created so many filler episodes. While Miraculous Ladybug's will-they-won't-they act can be frustrating, it is actually a proven fact that in romance, wanting/longing is better than having, because waiting with hope is better than pining without. If you always get what you want, then your happiness is short term and there is no rich payoff. There IS such a thing as stringing it along too much, but I've seen the show do its best to not make their relationship and concept stale, such as giving us what we want in What If AU situations and new romantic partners. I'm not saying the show is perfect and that they haven't made their fair share of mistakes (throwing Chloe under the bus kind of bombed her character development), but I would recommend to just keep an open mind. All in all, if the original show has taught me anything, it's that despite how badly we want it, Marinette and Adrien will never be truly together until Hawkmoth is defeated- because every time the relationship fails, he is behind it -so it's likely that we won't see them get together until the very end of the show. Until then, we get fun little reprieves like fanfiction, comics, and this animated series.

I just realized that Marinette was talking to Tikki and she pretended that she was talking with her mom. Her excuses here are not as lame as they were in show.

[@The_Maroon_Rose]

Marinette (canon): I had to bake a cake for my . Grandfather's . Rats Me:🤦‍♀️ Marinette (office): bye mom talk to you later Me: nice excuse

[@rewatigajbhiye8830]

@@The_Maroon_Rose at least its better than baking a cake for my grandfather's rats. In that way, I like her excuses in here. They kind of makes sense.

[@prettyspectrum6371]

I love this version of Chloe. She still has that snoob personality but you can see how she grew and what could have happened hidden between the lines. How her and Marinette became more closer

[@sampaguitea]

i love the implication that marinette (and by extension felix) can't move away or leave paris too long because of their superhero duties! that detail was really good! i think it highlights their desperation to find hawkmoth because it really interferes with their personal lives. maybe marinette more than felix, but still. also seeing all the classmates was really fun. and allegra, finishing her character development, wanting to kickstart other people's journey to self-improvement was just gold. love that the office gang feels like a proper friend group now and that they offer felix support.

I really loved how they showed Chole as a good character than as depicted in the show.

[@OBNOXIOUSBLA13]

ML Office AU not the series that is canon,, but the series that we wanted and the series we deserved. But seriously. Thank you so much for making this. I'm not in a position where I can support financially but I've been following this series since episode 2 (I actually jumped on just before episode 3 came out) and I just want you to know that I'm so happy and proud of you. Your art is amazing. This series is amazing. Your work and the work of the voice actors is truly something splendid. This goes beyond just "fan content." You've made something really special and you should be proud. I love this series. We all do. And we're all so proud of you. You're doing an amazing job, now get some rest and take all the time you need. We'll be here when you get back. 🐈‍⬛♥️🐞 🏢

[@Miciggy24]

"You want to ask us about our favorite mugs????" "Claude, I swear to god if you ask them one more question about mugs!" That ending is very on brand for this series. Also Felix and Mari's relationship and how everything had developed this episode. I'm REALLY curious how you develop that going forward. As frustrating as it is that it's been 4 seasons and Mari still hasn't told Adrien how she feels or that the two have shared a kiss without it being an alternate reality bad ending or amnesia, its definitely a writing hurdle that the writers will eventually need to overcome and it's nice to see how fan content tackles it. I can't wait to see the next arc! Please keep up the great work!

[@Miciggy24]

It has also dawned on me that Luka's ride is Kagami! I had to go through frame by frame, but the helmet has her little dragon horns from her superhero costume and you actually see her face right before they go off frame.

[@madlycountingsheep139]

you got me losing my mind with this like the redesigns of all of the characters?? so gorgeous and amazing. and chloe?? you actually gave her a proper redemption without even showing it. like shes still annoying but has clearly gotten more kind. and her design was one of my favorites also, all those cute romantic moments got me pausing the episode to compose myself cus i was squealing. you outdid yourself, emzurl. i would wait a century for this series. its genuinely so good, and much more thought out and interesting compared to the actual show. thank you so much for making this series and showing us your wonderful work. get some rest, and i look forward to the next part!!

I've watched this an embarrassingly amount of times... I'M OBSESSED. I love the character development and how you manage to make the scenes align similarly with the original Office show. I literally gasped at the ending and I just love the endless amounts of details put into it. Can't wait to watch until the end :)

[@mlpsecrets7931]

I love everything about this! The ending, the reunion with the middle school class. How are they all so mature. How they want to help the main couple! The ball all the clothes looked so cool! The redesigns were amazing, especially Chloe's hair in marinette's crown. Can we take a moment to appreciate their hair and the crown. Lila SUCKS, PLEASE TELL ME THAT WAS KAGAMI! I wonder who she was talking to, did she tell her parents or was it master fu? Can we all praise the development with all the characters? Allegra, Chloe, Sabrina, and ALIX look the best imo- I loved this arc so much! It was amazing! :D I hope we get to see alia and Felix work together in the future! I'm glad there onto something. I appreciate the writing here to! Normally I hate it when everyone's pushing someone to get together, but here it's just so wonderful! Everything was absolutely wonderful. And the animation was absolutely 100% perfection in the last scene! Thank you! Just thank you for all your hard work, I can't wait to see where this channel goes in the future. See you in the next episode :D

I literally screamed when I realized this arc was 30 minutes instead of 20 minutes. This was so incredible! I already want to rewatch it. I love the expressive art and all of the hyping up Felix content in this arc. The ball concept is compelling and so fun in execution. I love the love in this episode. The class shenanigans, Felinette making moves, everything is so perfect! Honestly I feel like the arc of Jim and Pam's love story works even better in the context of miraculous ladybug. This entire AU is so beautifully done. I really appreciate the voice actors' work. I cannot say enough how much I love your art! The facial expressions are so complex and read so clearly as a viewer. Honestly, I'm no longer a miraculous fan. I'm a Miraculous Office AU fan. This was well worth the wait! The collide of the miraculous characters I know and the Agreste Office Characters I have grown to love was so enjoyable. The end bit with Claude and the mugs was priceless. I absolutely died laughing when Allegra called Luka "Blues Clues". Also, may I just say, CLAUDE STARTED THE FIRE!
