Chapter 9
Maribug has a late night talk with a certain blonde-haired musician
Swinging across Paris with Xavier should not have made Maribug’s stomach feel the way it did. It felt like a million butterflies were trapped inside her and they were trying to get out. It made her feel tingly and excited.
She couldn’t help but thank the gods that it was dark out. Otherwise, Maribug was sure that her whole face would be as red as her kwami.
When they arrived in his hotel room, Xavier gave the dark-haired girl a bright smile that would’ve made snow melt. “Thanks for the lift”
Maribug couldn’t help but smile back as she wrapped her arms around herself, missing the warmth Xavier’s body gave her, “It was no problem.”
“So…” he trailed on.
“So?” asked Maribug, hoping he would drop it.
“Are you okay?” Xavier asked bluntly, not being in the mood for the heroine’s obvious attempts to change the subject.
“I’m fine.” Maribug said, not meeting his eyes. Instead, she chose this moment to study his room.
This room was one of the biggest suites in the Bourgeois hotel. There was a king sized bed in the middle. It was messy though as if the person sleeping in the mattress didn't have time tidy up. There was a couch in front of the bed that faced a TV.
Even though Maribug might not like Chloe, her family sure knew how to do business.
A sudden gust of wind snapped her out of her thoughts. They left the balcony door open. She watched as Xavier rushed and closed the door before he turned back to her.
The way his eyes studied her made Maribug feel insecure. “So, are you okay?” he repeated.
“I’m fine.” her voice cracked. “It’s just hard being this super-perfect heroine all the time. It’s like people forget that i’m just a teenager.” Xavier sat down, gesturing for her to do the same. Maribug did. “You know you don’t have to do this alone, right?”
“Obviously.”
He winced, making Maribug feel bad for her outburst. “I mean, isn’t there someone you can talk too.” he started making frantic hand gestures. “I mean- sorry.” he sighed. “I suck at this.”
Maribug couldn’t help but give him a gentle smile. “You don’t have to rush. Just take a deep breath and gather your thoughts.”
He followed her instructions and repeated it.
One.
Two.
Three.
It took him three seconds to gather his thoughts. “Okay, what i’m trying to say is maybe you can talk to someone you trust. I know you won’t talk to me. You barely even know me, after all. But do you have a friend that you know will always be there for you, no matter what?” she nodded and he responded with a bright smile. “Then maybe you should tell her. It always helps if you have someone to talk to. It will definitely make things less stressful.”
Maribug nodded, seeing his point. But who did she have that would understand her. She didn’t have a lot of close friends left.
She felt something warm on her cheek. Maribug instantly tried to wipe it away. Why was she crying? She just finished a crying session a few hours ago. She only allowed herself to cry once every two weeks. This was one time too extra. She couldn’t afford to get akumatized. No one would be able to de-akumatize the akuma.
Out of the corner of her eye, Maribug saw Xavier hesitate before she felt his wrapped arms around her. He felt warm. Really warm. It was like there was a snowstorm outside and he was the only source of heat left in the world.
They stayed in that position for a few minutes, his warm arms around her petite body while she let more and more tears drop.
Another minute passed.
Then two.
Xavier slowly pulled his arms away, “You need to get some sleep.” he gently whispered “And think about what I said, okay?”
Maribug nodded, not trusting her voice.
The room was filled with a comfortable silence before Maribug opened her mouth, her voice cracking as she muttered, “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
“You’re not bothering me.” Xavier replied firmly, “But promise me that you’ll consider my advice and that you’ll get some sleep.”
Maribug gave him another soft nod, “I promise.” she gave him a pointed look, “But you better get some sleep too.”
“Don’t worry, I will” Xavier said, “I have a date after all.”’
She walked towards the balcony, giving him a soft smile before zipping away. Not aware of the fact her heart felt a little bit lighter.

Chapter 10
Waiting for Marinette in front of her parents’ bakery made XY feel nervous. He felt like a thousand red ants were crawling all over him and they were ready to bite him as soon as he messed something up.
He shook that thought out of his head. He was not going to mess this up. He did not have a breakdown over this date for nothing.
I got this, he repeated in his head, I got this
I will not mess this up.
I am XY, one of the most popular musicians in all of France. A small date with a gorgeous girl should not make me this nervous.
I got this.
I got this.
I got th-
XY gulped. He does not “got this”.
In front of him was Marinette in all her glory. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. Marinette was wearing an off-shoulder black and white polka-dot dress that went just right above her knees. Her hair was down and wavy. She looked like Aphrodite in disguise.
“Woah” he managed to say, “You look great.”
“Thank you.” Marinette gave him a soft, pretty smile. “You look amazing as well.”
“Did you make that dress yourself?” He couldn’t help but ask curiously.
She gave him a shy nod, “Yeah. I did. A small friend of mine actually helped me pick this.” Her dark blue eyes twinkled with delight, “I was really nervous that you would think that I looked bad.”
He stared at her in shock. “You could never look bad in anything.” He sincerely said, before smirking at her red face. XY liked it when he made the pretty dark-haired girl blush. “After all, you’re the only person I know who can pull off pigtails.”
Marinette pouted, making XY’s heartbeat beat a little faster. How can someone be this adorable? She playfully hit his arm. “So, where are we going today? Xavier.”
He turned away from her so that she couldn’t see his face heating up. She knew the effect she has on him and the way she says his name proves it. But XY knew he had the same effect on her. The blush that was on her face a few minutes ago proved it. He narrowed his eyes and smirked, their blue eyes meeting. Two can play at that game. “Follow me, princess.”
He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the bakery, not bothering to look at her face. From the random noises she was making, he knew that she was flustered. It was one of his favorite traits about her.
XY ignored the people staring at them. He would normally be annoyed but this time he understood why they were all staring. Marinette looked absolutely breathtaking. He honestly didn’t know whether to smack the boys in her class or thank them.
How could anyone let a beauty like her stay single? He mentally scoffed, I guess Adrien isn’t the only blind person at that school.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Whenever Marinette was nervous or flustered, she couldn’t form words correctly. It was like there were a million things that she wanted to say but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. It made her jumble up her words, making the things that came out of her mouth as ‘nonsense.’
She didn't know whether she felt relieved or annoyed when Xavier let go of her arm. Marinette was glad that she could get her mind to calm down so that she could speak properly but she missed the feeling of his hand on her body. It made her feel warm. It made her feel safe.
“So,” she heard Xavier ask nervously. “What do you think?”
Marinette was confused. “What do you me-” She glanced at their surroundings and it was like she forgot how to speak. It was beautiful. “Woah. This is- Woah.”
Xavier let out a small laugh that made Marinette’s stomach fill up with butterflies. “I’m guessing you like it?”
Marinette nodded in excitement. “I love it!”
Xavier led Marinette to a beautiful garden. There was a small stream flowing through the side and there were bushes covered with roses. White butterflies were flying around and landed on the flowers. It was absolutely breathtaking.
“I’m glad you like it.” he sheepishly said. “After everything you told me about the drama that you’ve had to deal with, I felt like you needed a peaceful getaway.”
Marinette’s face started to heat up. “You didn’t have to do all of this, you know. A simple movie date would’ve been fine.”
He sent her a bright smile that would have made any girl's knees buckle, “I know.” he said. “But I wanted to. You deserve nothing but the best after all.”
He held out his hand and she gladly took it. Xavier led her to a casual red and white checkered picnic blanket with a basket in the middle.
The date hasn’t even started and Marinette already wanted to kiss him.
Instead, she looked around. Noticing the lack of people, she couldn’t help but ask “Where is everyone? A beautiful place like this should have more than two people in it.”
“Oh, yeah,” Xavier said casually. “I paid the owners of this garden to make sure that no unwelcome guests arrive.”
Marinette wasn’t sure whether she wanted to hit him for wasting his money on her or hug him because it’s the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for her. So, she let out a small “Oh.” instead.
That caused her date to pause. “Is it too much?”
“No!” Marinette panicked, not wanting him to think that she hated it. “It’s perfect. I just wish you didn’t spend this much money on this date.”
“Oh,” Xavier said in realization. “If it helps, maybe you could think of it as me not wanting the paparazzi to interrupt my date with a beautiful girl.” He patted on the empty space next to him. “Now come on. If we wait any longer, then the food will get cold.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
XY had no idea how long his date with Marinette lasted. In his opinion, it wasn’t long enough. He could spend all day listening to her ramble about anything.
He liked her so much. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt like this. It was like he could fly and touch the clouds. There was something about Marinette that just pulled him towards her. He felt like they instantly clicked.
He was walking Marinette home and he couldn’t help but notice the way she glowed underneath the moonlight. She was absolutely breathtaking.
He loved how they could never run out of anything to talk about. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual arguments XY always got himself into.
Whenever he was around her, he felt at balance. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was like she was good luck to his bad luck.
Marinette stopped walking and looked at him with her bluebell eyes. “We're here.”
“Yeah,” he muttered, a bit disappointed that he couldn’t spend any more time with her.
“I had a lot of fun today. Can we maybe do it again?”
His eyes suddenly met hers and he grinned. “Yeah!” he said excitedly. “Whenever you're free. I would love to hang out with you again.”
She sent him a bright smile before she leaned forward, kissing his cheek. “Great.” she hurriedly said, her face bright red. “I think I hear my parents calling me. I-better-go!” she rushed inside as XY stayed frozen in shock.
He hesitantly touched the cheek that she kissed. “Best day of my life.” he couldn’t help but whisper.
Deleted scene:
Marinette stared at Tikki, she was about to open her mouth when her kwami interrupted her. “No Marinette,” Tikki sighed in annoyance. “XY is not Chat Noir.”
“How do you know?”
“Cause I literally know who Chat Noir is.”
“Exactly!” Marinette exclaimed. “You could be lying.”
Tikki glared at Marinette, crossing her tiny arms. “For kwami’s sake, Marinette. You’ve been asking me this ever since your date ended with Prince Charming.” Before Marinette could reply, Tikki yelled. “Just let me eat my cookies in peace!”

He sent her a bright smile that would have made any girl's knees buckle, “I know.” he said. “But I wanted to. You deserve nothing but the best after all.”
He held out his hand and she gladly took it. Xavier led her to a casual red and white checkered picnic blanket with a basket in the middle.
The date hasn’t even started and Marinette already wanted to kiss him.
Instead, she looked around. Noticing the lack of people, she couldn’t help but ask “Where is everyone? A beautiful place like this should have more than two people in it.”
“Oh, yeah,” Xavier said casually. “I paid the owners of this garden to make sure that no unwelcome guests arrive.”
Marinette wasn’t sure whether she wanted to hit him for wasting his money on her or hug him because it’s the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for her. So, she let out a small “Oh.” instead.
That caused her date to pause. “Is it too much?”
“No!” Marinette panicked, not wanting him to think that she hated it. “It’s perfect. I just wish you didn’t spend this much money on this date.”
“Oh,” Xavier said in realization. “If it helps, maybe you could think of it as me not wanting the paparazzi to interrupt my date with a beautiful girl.” He patted on the empty space next to him. “Now come on. If we wait any longer, then the food will get cold.”

XY had no idea how long his date with Marinette lasted. In his opinion, it wasn’t long enough. He could spend all day listening to her ramble about anything.
He liked her so much. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt like this. It was like he could fly and touch the clouds. There was something about Marinette that just pulled him towards her. He felt like they instantly clicked.
He was walking Marinette home and he couldn’t help but notice the way she glowed underneath the moonlight. She was absolutely breathtaking.
He loved how they could never run out of anything to talk about. It was a breath of fresh air from the usual arguments XY always got himself into.
Whenever he was around her, he felt at balance. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was like she was good luck to his bad luck.
Marinette stopped walking and looked at him with her bluebell eyes. “We're here.”
“Yeah,” he muttered, a bit disappointed that he couldn’t spend any more time with her.
“I had a lot of fun today. Can we maybe do it again?”
His eyes suddenly met hers and he grinned. “Yeah!” he said excitedly. “Whenever you're free. I would love to hang out with you again.”
She sent him a bright smile before she leaned forward, kissing his cheek. “Great.” she hurriedly said, her face bright red. “I think I hear my parents calling me. I-better-go!” she rushed inside as XY stayed frozen in shock.
He hesitantly touched the cheek that she kissed. “Best day of my life.” he couldn’t help but whisper.
Deleted scene:
Marinette stared at Tikki, she was about to open her mouth when her kwami interrupted her. “No Marinette,” Tikki sighed in annoyance. “XY is not Chat Noir.”
“How do you know?”
“Cause I literally know who Chat Noir is.”
“Exactly!” Marinette exclaimed. “You could be lying.”
Tikki glared at Marinette, crossing her tiny arms. “For kwami’s sake, Marinette. You’ve been asking me this ever since your date ended with Prince Charming.” Before Marinette could reply, Tikki yelled. “Just let me eat my cookies in peace!”

Slow Burn AU
Miraculous Ladybug AU that I’m honestly surprised I have seen yet. Though, if some has done this, let me know cause I’d love to see it!
——————————————————————
- Adrien and Marinette don’t have crushes on either side of their identities. That’s right, no lovesquare.
- But, they do know each other’s identities. So Adrien knows Mari is LB and Mari knows Adrien is CN.
- Adrien + Marinette = friendship goals. All hail the best friend ship, USS We’rePartnersBitch.
- Chat is much more jokester and less flirty. Total prankster. Level 100 pun master. All the meme knowledge.
- Ladybug is sassy. Sassy AF. And die hard justice enthusiast. No evil shall escape.
- Basically, without love in the mix, these two go to town on evil. Lots of sleuthing. Hawkmoth is sweating bullets. “I thought I was the villain of a kid’s show, so why is it that there seems to be actually plot development?!”
- Outside the suits, Adrien models for Marinette. He puns and she pokes him with a needle. Very cutesy.
- Marinette comes to photo shoots for Adrien. She claps and he smiles. Then the staff tells her to stop making him move cause it’s ruining the shot. Very cutesy.
- Lots of covering for each other.
- Out with friends and akuma time? “Hey, didn’t my dad want to take with you about fashion?” “Oh yeah! We gotta go!”
- In class when, BAM, akuma? “You still have my book in you locker?” “Shoot, I do. Let me unlock it for you.”
- Akuma while not together? “Hey, I got to go see Marinette/Adrien, later!”
- Class totally ships it but can’t break through THEY’RE JUST A FRIEND force field.
- UNTIL...
- Luka & Kagami
- While there are no feelings on Marinette and Adrien’s part, they are being flirted at.
- We’re not together, why do I feel this way?
- Cue unfolding feelings.

That’s all folks! Feel free to ask questions.
Hello, fellow dino! For Slow Burn AU, do Marinette and Adrien ever flirt without realizing it?
My Saurian friend! Thanks for the ask!
Oh boy, do they! As stated, Marinette is Sassinette, so a lot of how she interacts with Adrien and Chat could be misconstrued/properly interpreted as flirting.
Then there’s Chat. Oh, my sweet son. Don’t you know that teasing is inherently borderline flirting. And you tease a lot!
Argh!!! You all are too nice to me for my first ML post. Special thanks to @gale-of-the-nomads and @thenovelartist! You guys made my day by reblogging and commenting.
Anyway, as for more...
———————————————————————
- Lots of unrest and sleepless nights are in the future for our duo.
- Why do I feel this why? I have no claim to him/her. He/she can do whatever they want. I’m just worried I’ll lose my best friend. Yeah, absolutely nothing else is going on. Imagines other person kissing someone else and feels like they were stabbed. *Gasp* N-nope, not a thing.
- Each tries to improve the situation by inviting the the other out with their new romantic interest to build new friendships.
- Doesn’t work.
- Marinette finds Kagami to be cold and condescending. Adrien thinks Luka is too cool for his own good and needs to be brought back down to Earth.
- These opinions obviously have nothing to do with denial of romantic interest in one another. Absolutely not. It can only be fact.
- Alya and Nino play a big role in this portion of the story, giving reasonable and realistic advice to their friends and often advocating for them to the other.
- The day comes when Kagami asks Adrien on a date. Cue Oblivious!Adrien’s shock face.
- Answer is immediately no. She’s cool and he’s thinks she’s a great friend, but he doesn’t see her as anything more.
Kagami: Is there someone else?
Adrien: Um, w-what? No, I mean, I don’t think so?
Kagami: Not even Marinette?
Adrien: 😳
- Meanwhile, Marinette is at Luka’s, listening to him play guitar. And he can’t nail down her song, cause it’s all over the board.
Luka: So, what’s up?
Marinette: W-what? Nothing.
Luka: You sure? Cause this is what I hear.
Luka: CHaOtic pLaYInG!!!
Luka: It’s the musical equivalent of a cat frantically chasing a bug.
Marinette: 😳
- #ShitThisACrush
- Time passes and the air is cleared between the two. Feelings for Luka/Kagami are strictly prohibited.
- As things continue on, there is a clear shift in the superhero dynamic.
- Shy glances, sneaky peaks, timid questions, all the nerves. Like, hi, can I get five Big Mac(MySentencesIntoAbsoluteGibberish) and four McFlurry(InMyStomachOhMyGoshI’mSoNervous) and a side fries(MyBrianIt’sOkayJustWon’tBeCapableOfRationalThought).
- Civilian side is not much better.
- Marinette seems to spontaneously develop a fever every time Adrien is near.
- Adrien can’t seem to string together a coherent sentence to save his life without a overload of puns.
- Class is watching with baited breath.
- “Guys, I know we’re all excited for this, but maybe...”
- All of the class somehow on Adrien’s roof and walls, peaking through his huge window, watching the two.
- “...we might be taking it to far. I’m just sayin— ARE THEY ABOUT TO KISS?!”
- No, they didn’t kiss.
- ...Yet...
- Side note, Hawkmoth is wants them to get together. Not because he cares, but he finally has a breather from their intensive search for him.
- He’s currently sprawled out on his newly bought Lazyboy recliner, in his lair, napping.

More to come soon!

That’s all folks! Feel free to ask questions.
My bro, my dude, my gal pal homie bro man, When do they kiss? When do they realize that, "oh!! You are in love with me as well!!!!"
My ambiguous anon,
You are asking the important questions here. Too bad I won’t spill the beans so easily. However, I can tell you that the first kiss is not a confession kiss.
Do with that what you will.
(Also, for the record, I am male, and I prefer the pronouns cowboy, partner, friend, and mister.)

Mis rediseños de personajes de Miraculous Ladybug
Espero les guste 🐞🐈⬛🐝🦊🐢
This is my reaction after reading the leaks and all I have to say is….
WHY!!!!????
Warning, spoilers:
-Why not let Adrien know about his father to the fact he is the freaking villain he was fighting the would time!!??
-Why give Gabriel a redemption arc after all the shit he has done!!?? (look, I love him but that is not what he deserve, maybe between season 1-2 he could have one, but now!?)
-Sure, redeem the man who has tormented París for months and even make him a statue but no two teenagers girls because, IDK, they are worst than The Devil I guess???
-Look, I know what Chloe did to Marinette is awful but that is not gonna make me stop of liking her anymore
-I still don’t care about Zoe and her crush for Mari is pointless (I know she is nice, but that fact doesn’t make her better, she is boring)
-Kagami and Adrien deserves better than this shit
-Emilie is a loving mother wow, even do she agree to not let Adrien go out from the house
-Bugnoir is eh, not bad, not good, it’s fine I guess
-Kim….dude….why??? Sure, Chloe shouldn’t have a miraculous after what she is done to Mari, ok fair, but than why Kim and even Sabrina???
I done with this series, I can’t anymore, I hate it now, such a wasted potential
I am the only one who think the other Miraculous characters are just….boring or plain?
Is like, they don’t do that much in the series, if they do, is not really good or is just plain
Like
The classmates for example
They don’t do to much in the series, the only thing they do right now is just be Adrinette shippers and only that
It’s not that is just one of them been akumatized or just appear as superhero’s
Speaking of superhero’s
They are just so bland, forget about the fact is some of them have a cool suit, they’re just boring
Even in their debuts doesn’t feel any special, is only “look this character! Is gonna be a new superhero! Aren’t you exited!?” I would if they were more interesting, but guess what?, they’re not
When they appeared I was just like “oh right, those guys exist, for what?”
Look Juleka, it was cool when she transform and her suit is awesome (one of my favorites but the way), but after that, she doesn’t really do that much, she is just another “yes man” to Ladybug
The only thing they do is just follow Ladybug’s orders, they don’t make their own decisions on battle or opinions about the situation, they just…there
Unironically THE only heroe that I feel ALOT of emotions and did have more going on was not other then CHLOE!
How ironic isn’t?
The mean character, the one the creator hates so much, the one a lot of people say she didn’t deserve be a heroe….was the most interesting character of all of them
You know when the mean character end up being the most interesting of all the other characters than the ones that are “we” supposed to root for, says ALOT
You know you did something wrong right there
And how funny how the only heroe I did care about is replaced with another character who like the others, she doesn’t really matter
I mean, c’mon, I need more than that
The other thing I hate about the characters is that fact, or they are only “good good” or “bad bad”
All of them are sickly nice or just pure evil
Like, morally grey people doesn’t exist in this series or what!?
I need a Neutral character please
If there’s one, please tell me! The only one a can think right now is probably Nathalie
I mean, Emilie could be perfect, she not been a perfect sweet angel but not really that bad
But nope! She is just another good sweetheart who did nothing wrong
The kwamis could be perfect for that too, like not evil or good, they’re neutrals creatures doin whatever their wilders do
But no, they just so sickly nice or just acting like babies…..um….how old are they again?
The only kwamis a I like and care about are Pollen, Trixx, Plagg, Nooroo, Duusuu, Wazzy and Sass
And kinda Tikki but like the others, she is just “Your the best, I love you!” “OMG new holder! 0w0”
Also, can the adults characters have more brain cells please! Why all of them are so freaking idiots!? Dang, that would explain the kids behavior in this show
What is wrong with the parents in this show!?
Like, Gabriel I can excuse him to been terrible, because he is the bad gay-I mean bad guy anyway, if is this his job? well, he does a good one (me no trying to ignore whatever happens in the leaks)
But like, Marinette parents are just those types of parents who let their kids whatever they want, sure, they’re not terrible people but they’re not perfect, but the series paint them as “The perfects parents”
Andre could be a perfect example of a father who fails to their kid but tries to better but doesn’t know how
But nooo, he throw his biological daughter like trash to her abusive mother and replace her with another kid?
What lesson is this?? Throw your kid like trash if they don’t behave like you want and blame them for that when you were the one who raise them!?
Fuck Andre, I hated you before and I despide you now, I hope you paid for this and get karma after that!
Ugh
Ok thinks that’s all
So this is are my redesign for Ladynoire and Mr. Bug
Their names now are “Blue Bell and Goldie”
For Blue Bell I decided to use blue instead of green, I think that color fits better for Marinette, like pink and red
For Goldie, I liked the idea of him having a suit of a golden ladybug instead of the red one
In my reimagining of the series, Tikki and the other kwamis are like a universal animal, like she can be any type of ladybug, so she can give the holders another looks from others types of the animal she represent, in this case, the golden one
But, of course, with Adrien’s hair color, it would be to much yellow, so I changed his hair to blue with some yellow spots
Hope you like it
Here’s the drawing without the details and the original designs
Rabbit! Marinette
Hair style inspired by her Penny Bug’s design
I wanted her to have a more cute look and her suit not be just a spandex (seriously what is with this show with giving the girls cast a spandex??)
Hope you like it
Sketch
There they are
The chaotic duo of Cat 🐈⬛ and bug 🐞
I decided to make four design for the redesign instead of just one
For our bug girl she still keep her Multimouse’s hair and red spots to contrast her black hair, her ribbons are more like a bug and crazy eyes because she is an insect, don’t expect normal eyes from a bug
For her costume, a fashionable look but still childish because she still a kid and she still keep the cape, I added white spots because ladybugs have them, her yo-yo has more details, the first designs tries to be similar to ladybug’s wings
And for Kitty baby I decided to go crazy with his costumes, give him a samurai vibe and long hair with black, his blonde hair is more vibrant then in his civilian form
I keep the bell because it’s look cute, for my idea for his look is that the costume may look crazy and wacky but still comfortable enough to move and fight with bad guys, still have green assents
I think that’s all I wanted to say, hope you like those designs, tell which one you like the most
Here are the old ones
I watched Derision and….oh God, it’s a mess
I hated it
Everything was so lame
Everyone was so out of character in this episode
And I gonna ask this, when Mari was akumatized, we see her memories right?, alright, now can some please tell….why the heck we could also see other characters point of view???!!! Isn’t this sequence is in Mari’s POV?? Like, someone explain that
And please, look me in the eye and try to tell me this backstory make sense, come, try
Because none of this make fucking sense!
And before you go to tell me otherwise, I’m saying this as some who was in the fandom since season 1, like, when everyone where trying to figure out who Hawkmoth is, that old I am, so no, no try to tell me I don’t know anything about the show and the characters because I know them perfectly
So yeah I can tell, Chloe wasn’t this type of ““eViL””” in previous seasons back then, Marinette wasn’t even scared of her, she was just annoyed by her, even before Alya came she wasn’t really afraid of her, she was like “ugh, this bitch”
And tell me Mari, if you where so traumatized about falling in love with someone, than why didn’t you do the same thing with Luka and Chat Noir huh?, Please explain yourself young lady?
In fact, why are you panicking in front Kim??, you always acted normal around him!!
And for last, I just loveee the doble standard in this show
Marinette can be excused of her stalking behavior towards Adrien, every bad thing she does was just because she is traumatize, so please don’t be harsh on her, after all, she is young, and kids do stupid thing
But nooo, no no, Chloe shouldn’t be excused, forget the fact her mom is a abusive bitch, forget about the fact she openly say to Ladybug she feels useless, forget the fact she was only Adrien’s best friend back then and did care about him (watch “Collector episode 1, season 2), forget the fact she has Andre as a pathetic excuse of father
Because every teen can be forgiven except Chloe
She is evil, she always will be, she can’t change, because Thomas say so, and if you not agree than you are an abusive person, your evil as well
And Mylene…shut up, please
When Thomas would release that not everyone reacts the same way on trauma?
Back to Mari’s panic attacks, everything go to fast to me!, there’s no time no analysis what the hell is going on, also, didn’t she used to be in the public pool before this episode?, like, Mr Pigeon 72 never happen I guess
Also, this episode make her look worse because back in season 3 in Animaestro, she fucking team up with Chloe, Chloe, her bully, the person who made her life back then a living hell, to humiliate Kagami in front Adrien
What the hell Mari!?
And Chat….sweety, honey, I love you, and I insist your deserve better but….please don’t do that, this isn’t you, your not like that, your better than this
Anyway this episode is trash, is literally every salt fic in one episode, every single cliche of a generic backstory perfect for a Wattpad’s fanfic
And please, instead of trying to tell me every episode that Chloe is evil and I should hate her, what not you guys try to focus in more interesting lore instead? Please, like, kwamis, Gabriel and Emilie? (Representation doesn’t count)
And even then, why show this episode in season 5, you literally have a lot of seasons to show this, and you decided this was the right moment??
Ok, that’s all I wanted to say
Se ya folks
broken heart
Series well just wow!!!!
