This episode has done irreparable damage to my mind

thinking about the letter again...

@little-mari-on-a-roof 's tags on this post:

#his sacrifice in front of Marinette was already so fucked up #but knowing he had a backup plan is somehow even worse #and he definitely thought Nathalie had more time left than him (at least according to Intuition) #even in his letter he doesn't admit to all the wrong he did. he only says HE sacrified everything and that he was Monarque #he never talks about the pain he inflicted upon others #so even with his last words asking Marinette to not let him know about the villain he was #he doesn't actually write off Adrien finding and following the letter

This made me want to go check out Intuition again and... all this might be a stretch, but could this be the moment he decides to write this letter? Find a solution? And then he asks Adrien and he confirms that no, he doesn't have any adults that could replace his parents (a stupid thing to ask unless of course you don't know anything about your son)

I also added that dialogue from Recreation and I'm now convinced that it's only then that he remembers about the letter. The moment when Ladybug mentions "solution" for the second time and his face changes. And all the remorse about wasting his and Nathalie's life and fear of leaving Adrien alone, that I do believe was sincere at first (but like little-mari-on-a-roof said, no regrets about the villainy) is gone from his face. Ta-da!

Here is his solution. He promised Adrien that Nathalie would help him with his new task. So he heals her instead, since Gabriel himself keeps failing anyway. Nathalie was right and his use of Miraculous is condemning them. Fine! Perhaps Adrien will do a better job!

Also, well... Intuition is an episode that revolves around the power of Second Chance. Sooo.... makes sense if he found a backup plan right there. Adrien as his second chance...

Bonus points: in Recreation he knows Adrien would have to betray none other than Marinette to do that. Couldn't get rid of adrinette yourself? Lol just convince her to lie to him and him to betray her and let them do the rest! Another problem solved?

he has the coolest entrances and then does fuckall the rest of the episode 😭😭😭

God this man continues to piss me off even when he's dead

In the light of the very recent episode I think we as the fandom must understand now that Gabriel telling Marinette to "make sure that Adrien remembers him as a good father" was specifically just so Adrien would continue his last will more willingly as the new Monarch by making everyone singing Gabe's praises taking away his blame while also setting up everyone who knows the truth as liars so Adrien can channel his anger through them and not him with him no longer being present too. Gabriel specifically set Marinette up to fight her own boyfriend and end their romance while still extending his control over Adrien. Damn what a douchebag

Nathaniel's transformation and suit are probably my favorite now omg

this panel did something to me :

Raccommodeuse, Part 9

yes nathalie is the adult in the situation and IS the one that should be held responsible for telling adrien the truth etc. (like. i mean i personally hold her the most responsible.) but i think also there’s something to be said for the fact that marinette has been outsmarting nathalie’s every move for the last year or so~ despite nathalie throwing her entire life into her efforts. like. there’s something to be said for how nathalie knows ladybug has and can prevent her from doing what she wants to do. and nathalie’s whole history of supervillainy is probably not doing wonders for trusting her own judgement over ladybug’s. and this isn’t me defending nathalie i’m just saying the power differential here is so strange. in some ways it makes sense that nathalie is bowing to the convictions of a 15 year old girl. even if nathalie knew that telling adrien the truth was what was best for him, is there a part of her wondering if marinette would even let her? marinette has led an entire superhero career consisting of not letting nathalie do what she wants to do. nathalie is adrien’s guardian. and marinette is the guardian of the miraculous. and adrien is a boy made from miraculous magic. marinette is acting as the ultimate authority here despite being the child, and it kind of makes sense why nathalie is letting her.

YES OMG that's what I was going for with my most recent fanart. Adrien now needs to figure himself out without anyone's lead, find his own thing. But for now, he's very lost, he's never taken any decision for himself. I'd love for him to get into some kind of art or craft

His character seems to kind of take that direction in s6 with Revelator where he clearly states he won't do anything that will bring attention to him, so I'm thinking of something that allows him to have a more of a safe space and a community + He seems to have made changes to his room as we can see in this scene, his bed changed spots I guess ? And he painted the wall behind him :

I'd like to think that Adrien's going to get into abstract art. It's totally opposed to his father's very symmetrical, cold and strict artistic direction. He'll be able to express his emotions and creativity freely

A lot of people think of baking, since it's already a running joke in the show. But it's too tied to Marinette, and I don't like that very much since I don't want him to keep being under her wing, although she will probably be the one to inspire him to experiment.

So maybe cooking instead ? It's a way for him to connect and take care of the ones he loves, and it's also an art form

I'm really trying to figure out the development of his character since I've been planning out a rewrite/redesign of his character, which hopefully I'll be able to present to you soon

So if anyone has other suggestions/opinions on the matter, I'm all ears !

Saw the interview of Thomas saying Adrien/Chat Noir is in a stage of his life where he's finding himself and he's akin to a blank piece of paper and i could feel the mental illness activate like a sleeper agent at the thought of Adrien staring at a blank canvas trying to decide what and who he's supposed to be now im going to explode

makes me sick

WOW

the parallels between adrien/ivan hit hard omg

I enjoy that direction and it's a refreshing idea for a kid's show, but they executed it so badly.. the writing was FAR from perfect. Like revolution was such a goofy episode lol. But the idea itself wasn't bad !!

I especially HATED how people in the fandom just casually spread disinformation about the supposed reasons of her "ruined redemption" when there's only one reason : it was planned.

I would've enjoyed more if Chloe failed her redemption in a less extreme way though, there was no need to make her as bad as they did, she should've stayed as some kind of minor antagonist or a more neutral character. Like, she stays a bitch but doesn't cooperate with a literal terrorist.

I'm worried about what they're planning with her for s6 as I wouldn't enjoy her being a major antagonist at all.

Caught myself thinking about Chloe Bourgeois and my unpopular opinions about her (that redemption arcs are so expected in any mean character of any media that she is a refreshingly nuanced and interesting take on a character that refuses to take accountability and go through a redemption arc because she doesn't like the consequences that come with taking responsibility for her bad actions and that I very much prefer how her arc is unfortunately tragic in the original show). I am then shot 57 times.
