Hello! I'm the nominator of both the self-cest ships.
Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir Chat Blanc is the only canonical alter ego shown on-screen in the show, but since Chat Noir's real identity is a secret, the Miraculous Ladybug fandom has a history of creating in-universe RPF featuring Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir which assumes they're different people. That was one of the main reasons I nominated the ship, since in-universe RPF is a medium opt-in and it seemed fitting! Aside from that angle, though, I'm always looking for self-cest works in more traditional fic/art mediums where the creator just makes another version happen somehow - whether through time weirdness, a convenient plot device, whatever else, or even just leaves it completely unexplained, regardless of any kind of canonical basis or lack thereof.
If possible, having made my case, I'm hoping that the nomination can be accepted as-is, but if the final stance is that the only version that will be accepted is Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Adrien Agreste | Chat Blanc, I'll accept that as a second best.
Morax/Zhongli As above: yes, they are the same character; I nominated it specifically as Morax/Zhongli because Zhongli has a specific outfit/appearance associated with the name Morax (this one) as opposed to his regular playable version, and I was hoping to use the nomination to specify that I'm interested in works where the two designs appear side-by-side. Again, Morax and Zhongli refer to the same person and the identities don't separately appear in canon, but my intention in nominating the ship is for self-cest works where the creator makes another version happen, however that's achieved. (Also: same as above, Zhongli actually being Morax is a secret to the general public with only a few people knowing the truth, so in-universe RPF would be a possibility too.)
I'm happy to have it changed to Zhongli/Zhongli and keep the Morax part to optional details if mods think that would be better!
