You Know Whats Sad About Marinette Never Even Considering Adrien As Cat Noir And Adrien Being So Ready

You know what’s sad about Marinette never even considering Adrien as Cat noir and Adrien being so ready to Jump on the Idea that Marinette is Ladybug?

It’s the fact that we will never get the worst/best Cold War of Chat Noir Vs Ladybug, both of them examining every interaction they to for some scrap of proof to prove the others’ identity and both of them coming up with planes to contrive a clue.

Ooh yeah, that particular bit of fanon is scrapped. Adrien will immediately jump on the slightest evidence that Ladybug could be Marinette, skipping the whole "finding a smoking gun" phase and just going "Yep, that's my Lady!", while Marinette Will Not Consider It unless it's literally staring her in the face.

Kinda funny, since fanfics often pushed the opposite, especially with Adrien. Even now, "Oblivious Adrien Agreste" is SO ingrained that there are still fanfics and jokes about it, even though he's shown that he can sniff out Ladybug, EVEN when she's wearing another costume, like in Feast and Kwamibuster, and has zero difficulty believing that she's the love of his life.

okay i just genuinely need to know and i'm sorry if it comes across as salty

but why are people so disappointed that the reveal didn't happen and stick for real?

do people really think the characters is ready for a reveal? that the writers are prolonging it for funsies and not because the circumstances aren't right for it?

and do people really want the dynamic to change this drastically? do they not see that when the reveal does stick the show is never going to be the same?

and do they not like seeing all these scenarios? like if i am entirely honest i want to see all these reveals because i feel like once it's done it's done and i will be sad about not seeing any other possible situations and scenarios and confessions and shocks and how the environment/circumstances influence their actions

like i just don't get how people can be disappointed? i loved this reveal, yes, but it was NOT the right time and frankly there are so many other scenarios i want to see and i love getting a chance to explore them in the source material and not just in fanworks

the way Adrien stuttered like “You want to reveal our identities right n-n-now?” and then his small hopeful smile after the transformation dropped and then the way he had no hard feelings whatsoever towards Ladybug for not wanting to reveal her own identity right away because he knows it’s terrifying and then the way he said “my heart is beating so fast″ and “I hope you’re not too disappointed”

Like compare his actual reaction to the reveal vs the time he said “if you saw me without my mask, you wouldn’t be able to resist me” I’m crying he’s so sweet he just wants Ladybug to like him

but gabe doesn't deserve redemption. He's an abuser

(sorry for the late reply, uni's been kicking my ass atm)

Redemption =/= Atonement

Redemption refers to someone correcting their actions to change people's negative perceptions of them into positive ones.

Atonement refers to an act of reparation for offensive or harmful behaviour.

One can redeem themselves through atonement, but atonement in itself doesn't guarantee or warrant redemption.

okay i just watched ephermal in the french dub and i will not give anything major away but…

i think it speaks volumes how chat wasn’t available for one pretty standard, run-of-the-mill villain fight at the beginning of the episode, and ladybug still felt the need to bring out every single one of the current miraculous holders just to make up for his absence. she relies on him so much that she called him 14 times throughout the fight and pulled out all the stops just to feel comfortable enough facing a villain without him. if that’s not reflective of how much she trusts chat noir i don’t know what is.

I despise the sentimonster theory but I agree with you 😐

I love how us clowns are assuming that if Adrien is a sentimonster he will find a way to free himself, possibly with a new power.

Like they would actually let Adrien do anything that lets him have control.
