Creating MY OWN Miraculous Story (WILDWARD) with Xencelabs Drawing Tablet

I honestly can't relate to people who dislike magical girls. Magical girls are probably the highlight of my childhood.

As someone who grew up with Sailor Moon I see why shows like ML exist, they want to be that for younger generations. But when you only do the same tropes without any risks or nuance it becomes stale and predictable. I don’t think every magical girl show should be as intense as Madoka but they really need a different approach nowadays. I’m glad you’re exploring this concept more, you have a real talent for storytelling ❤️

It's quite refreshing seeing an element of knowledge associated with ravens instead of owls. And I just really love the different Aegis', Sentinels, and their traits. It's so detailed and thought out. And can I just say? Those gemstones. Beautiful. Thank you for bringing out this idea and sharing it all to us.

i really liked the phrases “To the Heavens” and “Down to Earth”, theyre really simple but effective

Imagine finding a cute cat styled choker at Claire’s and you’re joking with your friend while talking about random tiktok audios and you start quoting “If the men find out we can shape-shift they’re going to tell the church. The men will be bewitch- *Transforms* uhhh wtf?” “Dude…you’re a furry?” “I guess”

Some thoughts: 1. I was SO relieved to hear that using an Aegis grants the wielder a damage absorption state, after all, those artifacts were named after a shield. 2. All of those accessory designs were SO COOL! If you ever decide to make merch, how about imitations of these? 3. I like how all of the Sentinels' names have some sort of etymology! Some you didn't mention are Felis and Naga, which are the words for "Cat" in Latin and "Long" in Japanese, respectively. 4. As for the question at the end... I'd either be a Songbird or a Raven. As for you, Calli (is it okay to call you that?), I think you'd either be a Songbird or a Snake as you are both an artist and a nurse (huge respect to you for that!). All in all, I really like the concept and can't wait to hear more about it! Keep up the good work!

This story sounds sick! I’m intrigued by the story and I’m already drawing my theories on what the holders for each gem stone will be like. I like how each personality (and power) of each aegis has a strength and a drawback and how none of the sentinels have a strong sense of right and wrong. It gives more of a grey nuance to the sentinels that the kwamis lacked. I found it weird that the kwamis naturally knew that they’re purpose was to do good when their purpose is the just give power over to the weirder. (I’m sorry if that came out as shallow but that is essentially what they do-) I also like how the sentinels don’t talk. It adds to the nature aspect of the aegis. (It’s also less annoying lol-) It forces the wielder to try to understand the sentinel more than one would with a kwami. And it builds more of a stronger partnership. One thing I disliked is how Marinette was able to give and take miraculouses even before becoming a guardian. I like that the sentinels determine who to partner with and not the weirder. And I like how the stag wielder is the only person who the sentinels bow to. Some slight critiques I have is that it seems that some strengths of some aegis overlap. Like the wolf and the tiger both exert super strength. (Though this does lead to potential with said aegis working well together in battle.) Idk about all of them, but I imagine the musician weapon for the song bird could be a long flute and for the hawk or the stag, a bow and arrow. Also for clarification can the song bird also fly (but just not as well as the hawk?) or can the hawk only fly?

The hero's masks would definitely benefit from a redesign, like, almost all new heroes have that same two color mask, sometimes with a line in the middle, and the others may not be so unique.

I absolutely love this. All the characters are very creative, diverse, and well thought out. I love that all of them are neutral/“gray morality” and can end up as villains, and how well their gemstones fit each other. Also, can I say that I love that you associated knowledge with ravens rather than owls? Not many people chose to do that, and personally ravens are one of my favorite birds. I think, being an emotional and creative person, I identify the most with the songbird aegis. I’d love to see more of this series!

If this actually became a show, manga, graphic novel, etc., I would 100% be immersed with it. Edit: I feel like I’d be the cat (or songbird) aegis.

I love it that you chose alexandrite for the snake aegis, it changes colors based on the type of light shown

The way you describe the direction of the story and its relation to the main show is very similar to how I treat Winx Club. I love the first four seasons, and I like the transformation designs of some of the later seasons, but I like taking the idea of the winx club world and making it my own thing if that makes sense

What I love the about the Aegis: How they're neutral: They do not know the distinction between good or evil unlike the Kwamis who all know they want to be good. How the aegis users are nature-like: How they do not have unrealistic body like Kwamis but bodies like the animals we have in our world. Also how they cannot speak our (human non-other species) language(s), which would make the users try to understand them better. this could form a better relationship with the aegis and their wielder. How aegis try to find a wielder who suits their interest(s): Which is what I love the most because Marinette was easily swapping miraculous in the series. Not only that but to give them to randoms. I like how you can't do this with the Aegis until they have the proper judgment of said user. This can also help aegis users and the aegis bond as well. The names and stones: All the stones properly suit the personality of them. Now the names are all amazing because they're all a reference to an -ology like Naga meaning long in Japanese. These were all so creative and lovely. Also something I would find amusing is all the aegis around their own species, how would they react?😂 Sorry for any bad grammar by the way.

Wake up babe, new roles to put ocs and ourselves into just dropped. I'm definitely going to do some fanart for these guys when I'm less busy because I love all of these concepts. Btw what aegis do you guys think you would have? I think I'd probably have emotion.

Whenever Calli posts, ya already know it's gonna be good.

I'm sooo excited to continue hearing and seeing details about Wildward! You're so talented and your ideas are already so compelling, and you're right, at some point the pre-existing material/inspiration can only get you so far, so I'm very excited to see what else you come up with for the story!!

Aaaa I usually don't comment often but I cant help myself, your story, designs, just everything are so compelling and interesting and I'm definitely excited for a more adult-oriented story! I can just imagine a little kid growing with stories about the Aegis and actually getting it when theyre older but being nothing like they imagined, tragic but adulthood taught them that that's just life

I'm slightly confused about the limits of Changing Winds. It manifests a lucky/favorable event through the user's will and focus, but how big could that event be? It could be the difference between causing a foe trip over a pebble at a vital moment, causing a foe trip onto your spear and impale themselves, or causing a nearby mountain to explode all over your foe and their army, crushing them all in one full swoop. Without a proper frame of reference I can't really understand how the Hawk user could ever lose, especially if they started the day in a motivated mood and with a decent cup of coffee to help them focus. I guess I'd like some more examples of what Changing Winds could and couldn't do and in what exact contexts it would likely be used, 'cause at the moment my imagination is leaning somewhere in the realm of Domino from Deadpool. Of course, I could always be misunderstanding your meaning of the power.

This is more well written than the whole show itself! 😭

Songbird: likes artists, musicians, actors, and writers Me: look I didn’t need to be called out like this In all seriousness I love al the concept they are well thought out with their drawbacks and powers. I was feeling really upset before watching and this helped me keep my mind busy so thank you for making such a wonderful world, can’t wait to see the rest of the cast and story unfold!
