Why Can't He Look Cool - Blog Posts

Please they could've just removed the full face mask and stick with the phantom of the opera style!!!😩😩😩😭😭😭

This here is what we call a costume upgrade!!! Just look at that cravat, the mask, the boots, changing his staff into a saber, just *chef kiss* beautiful. 💕💕💕

I hate his Peacock-Butterfly design blah blah redesign blah blah, it’s been four seasons now, you know the drill.

Design Notes!

> The dark theme is supposed to represent the point of no return. The only part of the outfit that has light elements is the neckerchief held by the brooches (a sliver of sanity left in someone embroiled with grief and madness) which represents the power of the miraculous. He uses his miraculous to see his ‘pure-hearted’ goals through. Those same goals also hold together the level of corruption he’s now sunken into.

> He’s paler and his hair blanches considerably. Represents both miraculous, the level of power and the corruption in his goals sucking his life away (figuratively and literally).

> That power overflows from the Miraculous and overtakes his body NOT because they’re broken, but because his abysmally negative intent overloads them.

> His armor and cloak represent the dark wings that rise

> Mayura’s head pieces turns into an eyepatch for Shadowmoth; represents the eye-for-eye trade for such monumental power.
