Ml Season 4 Speculation - Tumblr Posts

I remember trying to look for a MLB post that was made in like April or May when I was in early June and I searched for HOURS for multiple weeks finding similar posts (some of which I liked but weren't the ones I was looking for) to what I was looking for, scrolling FAR back into the history of the tag, but I STILL couldn't find the posts I was looking for, EVEN THOUGH I SEARCHED THROUGH PEOPLE'S ACCOUNTS AND HAD DONE THE HACK I'D SEEN ONLINE AND STILL COULDN'T FOND THE POSTS I WAS LOOKING FOR.

Right now I had found some of the posts I wanted to find and I'm grateful for that, but I still can't find the others and I am hoping that I'd be allowed to find them again.

Nothing will make you evil like trying to find a specific tumblr post

*includes ramble on my justification for why I thought this was Felix

This whole time I kept thinking about how this must be Felix somehow in possession of the black cat miraculous and I went about justifying it by noting how the little details on his costume sort of parallel (not even that, they just look similar) Cat Noir's costume and how it initially resembles it but upon closer inspection it doesn't. The bodice looks like a more "upper class" design compared to CN as felix's has "buttons" and resembles something like mid-18th century upperclassmen jackets and that the belt for the tail is similar to CN but looks more "neater" I guess? This goes along with the overall design of the character too. Cat Noir's costume didn't look unrefined or sloppy, or too overly embellished or anything like that (apart from the messy hair to hide the ears), but compared to "Felix's" costume, Felix's just looks different yet similar enough as to why I drew my theory around this character model being for Felix somehow.

BUT YOU ARE TELLING ME THERE IS A CHANCE THIS COULD BE A CHARACTER MODEL FOR

ADRIEN'S SON?!?

(Upon closer inspection the words say: Chat Noir's SIZE.)

I still hold onto my theory that this is Felix in some way, he is immediately who I thought of first.

Guys it literally says “Chat Noir’s Son” on the middle left there why are we arguing about this

I can't speak on this confidently, as we haven't seen the episode "Gabriel" yet, but I think Adrien's growing resentment towards Ladybug is meant to parallel Gabriel's pipeline into becoming Hawkmoth.

I have also come to the conclusion that Adrien's whole character arc is revolved around the duality of the power of destruction, which I get is obvious, but hear me out. While destruction can cause chaos and harm to others, it also plays a necessary part in tearing down oppressive forces.

Let's talk about this scene.

What this scene has communicated to us is, despite the two of them having seemingly opposite personalities, Adrien is indeed Gabriel's son. What I mean by this is that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree; both have a tendency to get caught up on their projected fantasies involving the people they love.

The position Gabriel is in right now, being Hawkmoth and all, is a direct result of him being unable to process his grief. Much like Adrien and his fantasy of Ladybug, Gabriel clings onto the fantasy of a "better world" with Emilie to cope with his grief and reconcile his guilt. Consequently, Gabriel has now become Paris' biggest threat and he's dealing out collateral damage onto his family (i.e. Adrien and Nathalie).

Adrien is at risk of falling down the same path; Adrien's grief has led to him becoming emotionally dependent on his romantic fantasy involving Ladybug. Even after everything he went through in this episode, this poor boy is still clinging to this damn fantasy for dear life.

Right now, even after everything that happened in Glaciator 2.0, Adrien is still stuck on this cycle of hoping Ladybug will one day fall for him, Ladybug rejecting him and inevitably breaking his heart, him getting depressed and lashing out because of it, him and ladybug reconciling, and then Adrien slipping back into the fantasy again to rinse and repeat.

In order for Adrien to truly develop as a character, he needs to break the cycle. He needs to break the cycle of damage his father is doing to the environment (as demonstrated in Mega Leech), he needs to break the cycle of complacency in his life, and he needs to break the cycle of enabling his father's actions. In order to do that, he needs to stand up to his father and get him to break the same cycle within himself.

If Adrien can't break the cycle, he's going to succumb to it and end up just like his father... or worse.

I REALLY want ephemeral to be Chat noir's 'Chat Blanc'. Where he gets the trauma on an identity reveal and has to find a way to deal with things. And he remembers that Shadowmoth is his father, and he has to DEAL with that.
