Ml Thoughts - Tumblr Posts
I want to defend Adrien for a moment, against everyone who says he's an idiot for not seeing that Marinette likes him.
He clearly knows she has a fan girl crush on him. He's just mega famous and very used to that kind of thing. He doesn't take Marinette's crush as anything more serious.
He's not stupid - that's precisely why he's avoided getting entangled with someone who outed herself as a fan, in 'Troublemaker'. That's not a basis for love. I think that's partly why he's so drawn to Ladybug - if she falls for him, it will be without having the celebrity bias of knowing he's THE Adrien Agreste. He'll know it's real.
More on Butterfly Holder Chloe
(Temporary holder of course lol.)
I can’t stop thinking about how cool a plot thread/point this could be so here’s some more thoughts on it:
*If the Kwami swap is a two-parter then in the first part she could akumatize (But like the good version of it? Would it still be called the same thing when not corrupted?) Butler Jean in the first part and Sabrina in the second part.
*They might be the only two wiling to listen to her long enough to become heroes/champions for her during the time she wields the Butterfly Miraculous(however long the swap goes on for).
*She could appeal to them and strengthen her connections to them by truly recognizing them both as important people to her- Jean as part of her family and Sabrina as her best friend.
*By her making Sabrina a hero that helps save the day she could partly make up for causing her to become a villain/the Vanisher. This could help them on the path to becoming actual best friends instead of just fake friends/using her.
*Also just imagine how poor Nooroo would react. He finally gets a holder other than Gabriel(who is very dismissive and controlling of him) only for it to be someone else who will probably look down on him(or so he thinks/it seems).
*Though her and Pollen due seem to get along rather well. So imagine Chloe feeling terrible every time she accidentally makes Nooroo flinch from her or shrink away from her. Because Pollen’s her friend, and Nooroo is Pollen’s friend, and she doesn’t want Pollen’s friend to hate her so that Pollen doesn’t hate her.
*Speaking of Pollen she seems to hold Chloe in high regards so just imagine how wonderful it would be to have her back talk Gabriel on her behalf. Like he’s being controlling of her and she mentions that Chloe’s her true queen so that prompts him to be all “Well I’m your king now.” and she just snaps back at him with “There are only Queens in beehives, Hawkmoth. You will never be royalty to me.”
oh my god, I just had a terrible thought.
so I've seen a lot of Marinette and Gabriel parallel takes on here recently. they all make so much sense, so spot on. (ba-bum tsh)
and it got me thinking...
Adrien sacrifices himself without a second thought for Ladybug. no questions asked, no hesitation. always.
Marinette's love for Adrien is so deep, to the moon and back...1000x amount of times. she would do anything to keep him safe, to keep him happy. no matter the cost. (same goes for him ofc)
see where I'm going with this?
what if... Adrien does something stupid during battle? more stupid than normal. and Marinette for some reason can't undo that. what would Marinette do? what lengths would she go to get him back?
what if she becomes the thing her partner hates the most?
(Obviously, this probably won't happen. since Marinette and Adrien are the holders of the needed miraculous, so what would Marinette even be after? and it would be a bit dark for a kids' show.)
