After He Started Dating Marinette

AI can scrape my blog all it wants to

because i'm going to stick random words into my posts goldfish to confuse it.

i chicken cat kangaroo salmon hate generative AI, broadly speaking. AI makes me want to live alone in the woods with my Celsius Fahrenheit cats like my ancestors probably did.

Banana.

Also, I will be telling lies. Did you know fish can get jobs. Some of them are lawyers.

First, thank you very much for your response ! Also, I apologize for any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker, but I'll try to map out my thoughts as well as I can ! Also, for anyone reading, spoilers ahead for s6 (El Toro de Piedra).

On the Adrien = love thing, I see what you mean, I guess I just tend to ignore certain messages the show seems to push and interpret some things my own way (keeps me sane). s1-s5 already made me so skeptical about Adrien's parents, but s6 is just making them look worse to me, especially Gabriel. Him being involved with the cult they introduced in s6 (idk if you're caught up with that) makes me go "yeah no that guy was still weird even before his wife's death ? And she's maybe on it too ? They both wanted to reform the world ?" or maybe that was after Emilie's death who knoooows.

I guess a reasonable "fanon" interpretation of Emilie and Gabriel would be that while they DID love Adrien, they're still shitty, self-centered people and parents who always projected their own dreams/wants onto their kid, whom they wish to shape into the perfect little man. However, near her death, Emilie seemed to have semi gained some self awareness which is why, in her final moments, she tells Nathalie to change Gabriel's mind and to let Adrien choose who he wants to be. Idc if the show wants me to think that she was a good mom, but to me that seems to indicate that she only had a change of heart towards the end. So she was somewhat controlling at first, but finally understood that she could not mold Adrien into just who she wanted him to be. I guess making her a semi decent mom is a more interesting thing. It also makes her a more complex, realistic character.

So, maybe Adrien is made of multiple complex emotions : His parent's love, his mom's desire for freedom as you said, but also her desire for him to be a "better" version than her, destined for bigger, great things (to go with that theme of her projecting onto her kid). So I see him breaking free from Gabriel's control as a first step, which gets him some extra power, like shielding the ones he loves since he's so attached to his identity as a super hero ? Make him go like, marie-sue style and face off his dad in the finale ? Well, at least it has to be impactful to signify his emancipation from his father's control.

Felix being a copycat makes a lot of sense to me, I think he's naturally a genius (was made that way), which is why he is skilled at so many things. But him being a shape-shifter would add to his manipulator aspect a lot.

As for Kagami, truthfully I'd love for the show to release more information about her or her mom, since we don't even understand fully Tomoe's motivation, or even who actually made Kagami. Her father maybe, since he seems to be absent ?

Globally, Miraculous is a real mess to rewrite, because you have the sort out a looot of stuff. They have so many good ideas but they always execute them poorly or drop something right after being on the good track. I still think it's entertaining, and they seem to be fixing some stuff in s6 although it's a bit late lol.

Sentimonsters are beings made from a single emotion and Adrien's emotion is heavily implied to be love. Sentimonsters can also have any random power the writers decide to give them and have been established to sometimes get powers their creators didn't intend (see Feast). That is the ultimate setup to use the power of love to empower Adrien and yet the show gives us nothing.

Lurking in the shadows

Another Adrien piece but with his s1-s5 design this time

I had in mind the moments where Gabriel suspected him of being Chat Noir, hence the choice of purple as a main color for the piece with a contrasting green 🐈‍⬛️

I'm not sure I agree with Adrien being made of "love", but just the idea of him developing a power to rebel against his father..I love it I need to make it into an actual thing

Don't have many ideas of what it could be though, so I'll have to think about it. I mean, why make multiple characters be sentibeings without giving them any cool extra abilities ? That would be sick as fuck

makes me sick

WOW

the parallels between adrien/ivan hit hard omg

omg buges

managed to watch the new episode during my lunch break and I LOVED IT SO MUCH..... huge contender for best episode so far.... I mean not only was the animation gorgeous (all the new camera angles and lighting and even 2D effects!!!) but all the adrinette, the ladynoir moments showcasing their flawless teamwork, Adrien loving being a superhero, AND ALL THE SUBTLE CALLBACKS TO S1 E1..... im so happy rn i loved this episode so much. idk how to describe it but it felt like new and classic ml all wrapped in one perfect package. yay

Just saw the og storyboard for the s6 opening and IT INCLUDED ADRIEN ON EQUAL FOOTING WITH MARINETTE ! I'm so disappointed that they scrapped this !

Just rewatched Revelator but in french, and holy shit I'll never say enough how much I LOVE the french dub. Maybe it's because it's the one I grew up with but it always hits hard (and the cat puns were always better in french norry not sorry). Watching without the subtitles felt like a whole other experience.

Like hearing Marinette saying Adrien makes her melt in this dub, and the conversation between Alya and Marinette feels much more powerful !

Also hearing "Miraculous Chat Noir" feels unreal. Btw, I don't get why people think that Chat Noir's power is only abt erasing memory ? From what I understand, it can destroy any damage that has been done by an akuma, while Ladybug's power allows her to restore things to their past state.

I gotta make fanart of this episode. It's one of my favorites so far 😭 I just never commit to finishing anything I've started lol

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸I am

ahmad from Gaza. I am 26 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family. 🇵🇸💔💔

We try to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger, disease and fear; Rather, it means actual death.

With a heart weighed down by sorrow, I reach out to you, hoping that kindness and humanity still shine in this world. My family and I have lost everything—the home that once sheltered us, the walls that echoed with laughter, the warmth and security that every human deserves. The relentless attacks on Gaza have turned our lives into a daily fight for survival. What was once a place of comfort and love is now nothing but rubble, and we are left with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a fragile tent that barely stands against the bitter cold.

Now, our days and nights are consumed by hardship. The icy wind pierces through the thin fabric of our tent, leaving us shivering, with no escape from the freezing temperatures. Food is scarce, clean water is hard to find, and the most basic necessities have become luxuries beyond our reach. Every day, we struggle—not just to live, but to preserve the dignity that war tries to strip away.

Amid this suffering, a new life was brought into the world—my brother’s daughter, an innocent soul who took her first breath in a tent instead of a warm home, her tiny body wrapped in whatever scraps of fabric we could find. She was born not into joy, but into loss, into hunger, into the unforgiving reality of war. And as we watch her, so fragile and pure, our hearts break knowing that we cannot give her the comfort and security she deserves and we cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for her😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

I do not ask for much—just a little help to keep us going through these unimaginable times. A warm blanket to protect us from the cold, food to fill our empty stomachs, or even simply sharing our story so that others may hear our cries for help. Every small act of kindness can make a difference. 💔🍉🇵🇸😭

Your generosity has the power to bring warmth to our freezing nights, hope to our despair, and life to those struggling to survive. May the kindness you extend be returned to you a hundredfold.
