SHREK 2 (2004)

The funniest thing about ml for me is how Adrien is a model beloved by many but he's like "pfft nah, this girl I'm friends with isn't in love with me" meanwhile as Chat Noir he's like "I'm the sexiest bitch in France, ofc Marinette and Alya have fallen in love with me"

Oh, so when DC fans call Batman and Red Robin’s suits good with the cowls, that’s acceptable. But when I do it to Hawkmoth, society goes wild

✨Society✨

I think one of my issues with the Adrien is Oblivious fanon (especially after Puppeteer 2) is that it's never talked about in the context of Adrien growing as a person. Adrien's emotional development was stunted due to his isolation. But instead of him establishing boundaries with Chloe or understanding himself it's almost always "Adrien realizes Marinette has a crush on him".

I do not have the words to explain just how Absolutely Irrelevant romance is when talking about Adrien's psychological development. Dating is the least important reason Adrien should develop his emotional awareness.

We could talk about Adrien becoming consciously aware of his emotional needs. Or opening up to Nino about his feelings. Or coming out of his shell with the rest of the class. Or him Canonically figuring out Ladybug's identity.

But no. Adrien is constantly kept from finding out Marinette's crush by literally everyone who knows about it. So Adrien is oblivious.

In the early developments of “Cinderella,” after she tries on the glass slipper, the Grand Duke brings her back to the Palace, and the prince runs out to greet her. He doesn’t care at all that she’s in rags ❤ ❤ ❤

{So of course I HAD to draw it!}
