First Up: Sleeping Beauty Comments
Note: Please let me know in the comments what enchanted furniture you think Gabriel transformed into while Adrien was the Beast! Grimm Talia did say “a curse upon your house and all within it.” 😉 Talk about an akuma backfiring on the user!
~~~
@techRomancer: Also with the way Adrien's curse is worded I'm imagining Shadowmoth suddenly getting transformed into like... a toilet plunger or something. XD
PlungerMoth! PERFECT! Question: is the handle or the bottom of the plunger his head?
"Nathalie! Nathalie!"
"Coming, sir..." (in hops a foot stool that has a wobble so it never sits level)
(Gabriel emerges from the shadows as PlungerMoth, Natuffetlie struggles not to laugh for the first time in her adult life)
"Nathalie, this is serious! Where is my son?"
"I know, sir. I'll find him. But, in the meantime, Gorilla blocked up the downstairs toilet again..."
~~~
@DanyNeko: if Gabriel wasn't transformed at the time, I'd bet he was turned into a candy cane, cuz, well, him outfit xD
But about ShadowMoth... 🤔🤔 A piano, maybe? Or a clock xD
Ooh, he could have transformed into one of those inflatable candy canes people put in their yard at Christmas! You know, because he's also a blowhard? 😂
ShadowMoth does seem melodramatic sometimes...perhaps an out of tune pipe organ? God, imagine the miraculous suit merged over a piano or organ! He'd be stuck in his lair! 😂💀
~~~
@San_fics: I see Gabriel as a big pompous chest of drawers with carved legs and butterflies on drawers, who is very indignant when something is put into it or taken)))
Yes! Paris shall quake with fear at....ShadowDrawer! Tall, purple, butterfly carved chest. One drawer opens and closes when he talks. Instead of butterflies, an eclipse moths slip out of his drawers -- he coughs a few out grumpily mid-dramatic speech. 😂
~~~
@Neakco: Gabriel would be either a sewing machine or a stone bust. Since the object should be a reflection of them. Natalie would be a tablet.
But would Hawkmoth still be a sewing machine? 🤔
Oh God... I just imagined Gabe as one of the singing busts from Disneyland's haunted mansion. 🤣💀
@Neakco: 2 suddenly bust, one for Gabe one for Hawky.
Hmm I'm picturing a normal armless bust when he's Gabe and then one of those broken statue ones that holds its own head in a hand as Hawkmoth (like Cephalophore).
Or maybe a two-sided bust, it spins around to the correct side according to its transformed state.
@Neakco: Or both sides can be active at the same time and yell at each other.
🤣🤣🤣 Perfect comedy act.
~~~
@PyrokineticMarshmallow: He would ABSOLUTELY be a chair. A very tall, uncomfortable, foreboding chair. And woe betide those who dare approach ChairMoth.
For he will dramatically brood
I can see it now... One of those slightly too narrow, hideously opulent/over ornate chairs (butterfly motif with stripes and ostentatious gold leaf), made of something too hard to be comfortable, with a seat that's oddly shaped so that the sitter is always shifting position.
Perhaps he looks more like a medieval torture chair (with spikes on the seat) when he transforms? Hmm, might make him look too capable...and I love making look like an idiot.
ChairMoth communicating through a kaleidoscope of butterflies (a la Stoneheart episode):
"QUAKE WITH FEAR, LADYBUG AND CHAT NOIR, CHAIRMOTH IS-- damnit. Hang on. How am I supposed to..." [pause, hollow thumping and low cursing heard] "MAYURA, I'M TOO WIDE TO GO IN THE LIFT!" [another pause] "What MEAN that sounds like a ME PROBLEM?!" [pause] "So now it's MY FAULT that ingress/egress building codes DON'T account for ornate, antique chairs?!"
[resigned sigh] "Ladybug, I'm going to have to call you back..."
