Oblivio stripped marinette and adrien to their most raw and real characters ((and exposed their love languages))
-adrien falls in love quickly and expresses his love through verbal affirmation
-marinette takes a little longer to fall in love and expresses her love through actions
adrien was quick to fall for marinette and express how he feels for her; “no wonder i fell in love with you”, “i’d never be able to hide my identity from the girl i love”, “i don’t need my memory to know that i love that girl”
marinette took a little longer to do so. it wasn’t until adrien offered to fight beside her without his kwami or his powers that she confesses that she was “starting to understand how much [he] means to [her]”
this would explain why adrien never notices that marinette is in love with him when she gives him presents on his birthday, made a special macaron for him, etc. adrien DID realize marinette was “in love with chat noir” because she literally said she was, in a state of panic.
this would also explain why ladybug never takes chat noir’s flirting seriously and reacts poorly to it. it wasn’t until marinette sees the romantic candle-lit dinner he had made for her that she reacts in a positive way.
EDIT: as @tsscat mentioned, (i can’t believe i didn’t even think of this) marinette literally fell in love with adrien when he apologized and offered his umbrella to her

A series of events:
1. I put in an Annual Leave request form almost 3 weeks ago and my boss has not approved it yet
2. I went into my office today and replaced every single writing utensil with crayons in preparation for April Fools Day on Monday
3. Whilst searching for pens to remove, I found my unsigned Annual Leave form in my boss’s drawer
4. I placed my unsigned Annual Leave form in a photo frame and put it on his desk
5. The frame I used was from a photo of his kids that I deemed less important than my Leave form
6. My boss sometimes goes into the office on Saturdays to work

I am new and I have never just randomly reblogged or shared things I see and like. I usually just leave a like? So this is gonna take some getting used to haha
yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.
like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.
but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.
and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.
PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.
REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you
I will sit here and wear this clown nose until I get fed.
gasp
oh my god not to be a clown but I have a theory about the chat noir and alya balcony scene
so in the rocketear trailer we have Chat Noir visiting Alya on her balcony. I think it's safe to assume that Chat isn't referring to his budding feelings for Alya (which means Alya isn't cheating on Nino), since, as we should all know by now, the trailers are designed to be misleading. So, if he's not flirting with Alya, then he's visiting Alya for some input on his love life. But, why Alya of all people? Remember, Chat Noir doesn't know that Alya is Rena Rouge (unless her identity somehow gets revealed to him sometime between Optygami and Sentibubbler). Before we can figure that out, we need to figure out who he's talking about in his conversation with Alya.
Is it Ladybug? It's possible, since Alya knows a lot about Ladybug, being the Ladyblogger and all. However, I don't think that's the case. It's been made very clear that Ladybug has no interest in dating Chat, plus Chat is becoming more distanced from Ladybug throughout the season. So if he's not talking about Ladybug, then who is he talking about with Alya?
Well, let's look at Alya's various roles in the show once more. Alya is Rena Rouge, but Chat Noir doesn't know that. Chat Noir knows that that Alya's the Lady blogger, but it's unlikely that he's going to Alya for love advice on Ladybug.
BUT. Who else does Alya know very well that would warrant Chat Noir going to her for love advice?
Let's look back at what he says to her in the trailer:
"We got to know each other way better now, and I've been noticing these little things... you know..."
Now, what could this possible budding romance be referring to???
well, who is Adrien stuck in the elevator with in Optigami????
And who was Chat talking to in Sentibubbler???
in conclusion, Chat Noir is coming to Alya to set him up with Marinette since she's Marinette's best friend.
