Thank you all for reminding me of Spite Wars.

Do you have any Gabriel salt fics? I sometimes feel like you salt more on Adrien than him

Of course I salt on Adrien. It's like adding a bit of salt to a bland dish to give it flavor because it's still worth the time and effort even if you don't particularly like it otherwise.

Gabriel is just shit. There's no point trying to add salt to make it appetizing. I've written entire essays on how much of an idiot he is. I expect nothing from this character.

But if you want to know my stories that make fun of Gabriel or call out his stupidity or horribleness...

Gabriel's Lament - where Gabriel makes the Wish and it doesn't go well for him. Plagg manages to take some revenge, however little he can get.

Take Out The Trash - Dolls AU where Gabriel tries to throw Littlebug away and she does not take kindly to this.

My-Crack-Ulous: The Movie Trailer - Just crack that pokes fun at the setup and Gabriel in general.

Papa's Day - Another Dolls AU where Gabriel sucks as a Dad and Adrien realizes he's a better one.

My-Crack-Ulous: Akumaid - More crack and Gabriel suffers.

Dolls at Play - More Dolls and more callout specifically at Gabriel.

Guardian Assistant Kevin - Where Villain Assistant Kevin takes Marinette as a client and calls out a lot of things including Hawk Moth.

Banned Movie List - More Dolls where they watch movies and get ideas.

Akuma-ed - More Dolls where Gabriel tries to akumatize the Dolls and it does not work out for him.

Oneshot where Gabriel messes with human-turned-Chaton and Adrien does NOT approve

The Hero of Paris - a one shot pointing out how stupid it was for Gabriel to transform on a TRAIN.

...

So yeah, a number of them are Dolls AU, but they really don't like him and he deserves it.

I've also got Gabriel essays and a tag I've often used literally called "Gabriel Is An Idiot"/"Hawk Moth Is An Idiot", but not sure if you want those.

Do you hate Adrien more than you hate Gabriel? Cause I've come across people who do (as well as hate Alya and Lila more than Gabriel)

I don't hate Adrien. I am disappointed in Adrien. I critique Adrien. I salt him with a frustration for the potential I know that bad writing will never allow him to reach. But I don't hate him. I wouldn't have him be such a prominent and positive (if not still somewhat enabling and problematic) focus in the Dolls AU or give him a good ending in Missing or BURN THE WITCH if I did.

Gabriel, on the other hand, tends to be one of three characters I usually keep at the center of "unpleasant experiences" in stories I write just for the fun of it. I just speak less on him because I didn't expect as much from him in comparison to the deuteragonist, hero partner, and obvious endgame love interest of the series.

When it comes to Adrien and Gabriel, one of these two is a somewhat problematic character who could be handled better and easily forgiven if the writers would just acknowledged the shitty stunts he's pulled and have him learn from them and grow rather than just ignore that those stunts happened or are a problem. And the other is a problematic character with only one redeeming quality ("he did it for love!") who warrants bad things happening to him to make the audience happy and see some justice in this Miraculous world.

And yet somehow, Miraculous Ladybug fails on both fronts. We don't see Adrien learn and grow. And we don't see Gabriel get ANY comeuppance for his horrible choices.
