mlscience:

If Adrien and Marinette had children, what eye color would they have?

(Graphic made by @azurajae. Click to enlarge.)

It’s time for mlscience’s first actual post! This topic is actually the thing that started it all. A few days ago in the mlsubbing chat, we stumbled upon the topic about what color Marinette and Adrien’s children would be. The result is the above graphic.

Using the beauty of the basics of Mendelian inheritance and Punnett squares, we concluded that if Marinette and Adrien were to have a child, there’s a 50% chance of it having green eyes and another 50% chance of getting blue.

UPDATE (3/11/2016): ‘Jackady’ has proven our hypothesis that Adrien’s mom has Green or Dark eyes!

Ships Ahoy! #2:[FEBRUARY LADYNOIR] Results!

(Infographics made with Piktochart.)

This is a bit late, but the second ‘Ships Ahoy!’ survey results are here! This survey can be seen as a ‘sequel’ to ‘Ships Ahoy #1: [LADYNOIR]’.

All results were collected between the 1st and 26th of the month of love, February 2016! A lot has happened since then, so while these results may not reflect current opinions, they are accurate to that time period.

If you didn’t get to answer this survey, check out @mlscience and our research page!

This same survey will be reconducted in about a month, so we could provide a picture on how the fandom’s preferences and opinions change over time.

We also launched the BOX OF FREEDOM with this survey! Click “Keep Reading” to view some of the responses that caught our eyes.

Q:Do you think a possible reason why Adrien and Mari can't identify each other behind the mask is because they view the world differently when suited up? Like how Mari only sees the world in black and white so she really can't see what Chat Noir's hair color/eye color is?

Eh, if you really want my answer, the canon reason is just Clark Kenting. Astruc has also confirmed that their vision is totally normal, and the “bug vision” is more like a visually-shown thought process than what Ladybug literally sees.  

Voilà. Exactement. Two answers in one ^^

MLScience Fandom Research: Ships Ahoy! #2: [February LadyNoir]

MLSFR’s second Ships Ahoy survey is now accepting responses! Think of it as a sequel to the previous one. This survey is updated and contains different questions, focusing more on the preferred ship combinations than their naming conventions.

You can participate in this survey by clicking here. Shipper or non-shipper, we need your opinions. Reblog this post to share it with fellow Miraculers!

This survey is a project by MLScience Fandom Research.

Like the last one, full infographics and conclusion will be released. The survey will only be accepting responses for a few weeks, so answer while you can. After answering, click here to view the Google Analytics of the responses so far. Check out the previous survey’s results over here!

Maybe this is why Marinette and Adrien can’t tell each other apart when they are ladybug and chat noir.

Wait a second, this would totally make sense actually! When Ladybug uses lucky charm, it’s the one of the only times we get to see the world through her eyes. Everything is in black and white as she scans over the objects around the room. Maybe Ladybug can only see in black and white! 😯

well bless this :0!!!

O_O omg wait a sec

How sees Chat, based on this and this image.

Ships Ahoy! #1:[LADYNOIR] Results!

The first full infographic out of MLSFR and ‘Ships Ahoy!’ is here! All data that was used came from a Google Forms Survey conducted between November 27, 2015, and January 7, 2016. A total 550 people answered the survey. If you didn’t get to participate in this survey, don’t worry! @mlscience has many more to come in the near future. Check out our research page!

We now know what the fandom calls the combinations of ships, including how to pronounce “Ladrien”, how the ‘N’ in “LadyNoir” doesn’t matter whether it’s upper- or lower- case, and how only nine people support “Marinara” for the very saucy ship.

We also noted the popularity of Marichat, which was possibly caused by the popularity of fanfiction such as @taylordraws ‘s Heartstrings, which has earned over 4,634 Kudos and over 82,058 hits on Ao3, and 741 Favs on Fanfiction.net.

We also conclude that everyone ships LadyNoir, bar a couple of outliers.

This same survey will be reconducted in a few months, so we could provide a picture on how the fandom’s preferences and opinions change over time.

  Mlscience is happy to announce MIRACULOUS TRIVIA!

We figured that the many calculations and research we’re working on were taking too long and making the @mlscience blog… inactive. So we thought about this! MLTrivia posts will be regularly scheduled and should give you your daily dose of facts relating to Miraculous Ladybug.

So while we work on looking for what species of butterfly the akuma are most similar to, re-calculating everyone’s heights, doing some psychological analyses, and figuring out how strong some of our villains are with some hardcore physics, enjoy some cat biology. Of course, your asks aren’t ignored :)

The MLScience blog is also undergoing renovation; we’re adding new sections and links to make the browsing experience easier and more enjoyable.

Chat Noir’s “Night Vision” (as seen in the episode “Stormy Weather”) may have been inspired by the amazing abilities of real-life cats to see in the dark!

Cats, as predatory animals, have adapted to have improved senses that make them more efficient hunters. One of these senses is their ability to see better in the dark. 

The tapetum lucidum is a thin layer of tissue located just behind the cat’s retina that reflects the light back through it, increasing the light available to the cat’s photoreceptor cells (Rod cells and Cone cells). This membrane also causes the “eye shine” that we see in flash-camera pictures of cats and dogs!

Rod cells are photoreceptive cells in the retina that can function in low-light environments. An average human has around 90-120 million rod cells, but cats have six to eight times more! This explains their impressive night vision.

LES HAUTEURS DES COLLÉGIENS V1.0 

(Graphic made by Admin AT. Click here to view the full image in higher quality.)

(Adrien Agreste was used as a reference. To see how we retrieved Adrien’s height, click here and here.)

Using the pixel-proportion method, we now have a realistic and somewhat accurate list of the heights of the “collégiens”, or Marinette, Adrien and their classmates, minus Alix, Kim, and Max. This took a long time to do for various reasons, including the countless attempts to draw proper perspective lines on the reference image and the numerous calculations involving counting pixels, plugging the numbers on a calculator, and making that graphic above.

While we do have some pretty specific numbers up there, those shouldn’t be taken as 100% accurate results, due to some rounding off and other stuff that may have happened during the multiple stages of this project.

We might produce a more accurate version if we get more decent screenshots.

HOW TALL IS CHAT NOIR? 

~PART 2~

Yes, this post looks familiar. No, this isn’t the same post. Here we are again trying to calculate Adrien/Chat Noir’s height even though we clearly already did in this previous post. 

A LOT OF YOU said some things along the lines of ”Chat Noir is so tall wtf” and “How tall are the adults?” (which we will someday totally calculate btw), and Admin AT agreed that yes, Adrien does look a little bit… too tall for a french ~15 year old.

So we did it again. This time with fencing swords.

TL;DR We pulled out four possible heights from these calculations; ~156.5cm (5′2″), ~166.6cm (5′6″), ~171.7cm (5′8″) and ~181.7cm (less than half an inch shy of 6′0″), based on four different sizes of modern regulation fencing foils and épées.

(Click “Keep Reading” to view the calculations. Click here to see Part 1 of this series that aims to narrow down Adrien/Chat Noir’s height and the heights of other characters.)

“@mylittlehony said: Just a quick correction to your height calculations for Chat Noir - 180cm may be equivalent to 5.9 feet, but that’s according to a decimal system. There are 12 inches to one foot, so 180cm is actually closer to 5′11″. Chat Noir...

(The post concerned.)

Whoops. 8D

Thanks for pointing it out! I’ve changed the feet values in the post to 5′11″ and 5′5″. Hopefully everyone notices. (Also, Adrien is huge. What)

On a sidenote: I’m never trusting those instant Google conversions ever again.

-Admin AT

Y’know what? I’m gonna calculate Adrien’s height again using his Mercedes.

HOW TALL IS CHAT NOIR?

As a science and mathematics blog, @mlscience needs a lot of data to calculate stuff. One such piece of data would be dimensions; length, height, width, etc. These dimensions are crucial in order to calculate how fast things go, how heavy things are, and how much volume everything has.

We needed to find someone’s height, so we set our eyes on one of the easiest candidates: Chat Noir. We also needed something that we can compare him to in real life, and that thing turned out to be Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa.

TL;DR: Chat Noir is about ~180cm (5′11″) tall, assuming that Copycat and Chat Noir are exactly identical in height and that the Mona Lisa portrayed in the show has the same dimensions as the real life Mona Lisa.

(Special thanks to @madelinelime for providing us with HD screenshots, and to @mylittlehony for pointing out an error in the cm to feet conversions!)
