ive seen some updated lovesquare charts recently and i think there’s some missing nuance so i’ve made my own
as you can see it’s requited on all sides now. they’re in love.
I found these from an inktober prompt and I can’t believe I didn’t post them
Concept: Marinette and Adrien match on a dating app and both have chat noir profiles and neither believes the other is chat noir and they both jokingly try to prove they’re actually the real chat noir
And meanwhile they… fall in love…..
this is so horrible
This isn't even new for him. Gabriel did basically this same exact thing in Collector three seasons ago, faked a breakdown in his office and made Adrien believe it was all his fault. This is so consistent with Gabriel's methods of abuse/manipulation, and I already knew Gabriel did this shit, but seeing it again like this and with the dialogue really drives home how absolutely despicable and purposeful this all is.
Gabriel isn't just talking about the friends pushing food on him. He could've chose to say "why don't children respect me!" or "this suit cost so much!" or "i was so embarrassed in front of all the other parents!", but he didn't. He chose instead to talk about Adrien's conversation with him in the kitchen that morning, the one where Adrien very reasonably mentioned that he was uncomfortable being a virtual personal assistant. Adrien didn't even push it. He just mentioned that he was uncomfortable and then kind of moved on from it.... and this is what Gabriel saw as a fitting punishment for Adrien asking a question. To fill Adrien with such intense guilt and shame while shouting things like "Maybe I wasn't meant to be a father!"
Like, this is traumatizing, right? Adrien is witnessing this, and Gabriel knows that Adrien is witnessing it, in fact, Gabriel is only doing it because Adrien is witnessing it. Literally no excuse. This is just pure 100% emotional abuse, flat out, with zero way to sugarcoat it.
every new episode of miraculous ladybug reminds me why ladynoir is the best dynamic
Tom any time someone shows the slightest bit of romantic interest in Marinette:
i don’t speak french but i’m pretty sure this is a 99.9% accurate translation
determination was great
we now return to the adventures of Simpbug and Chat noir
