Rewatching Dark Cupid right after Derision is hilarious because Marinette's behavior towards Kim just does not line up with the backstory at all. Supporting him the way she does when he wants to declare his love for another girl she doesn't even know the name of yet in the beginning:

(I mean, look at this unspeakable trauma reaction here. How can Marinette even manage to stand up in the morning is what I'm asking lol)
She's just acting perfectly normal about it. Excited even. How can you claim that the Derision backstory the way we got it was ALWAYS the plan when you have written Marinette without any actual signs for it for YEARS?
Ironically Marinette is thanks to Derision the LEAST consistent character in all this now while Chloé being a massive bitch about love confessions towards her because she wants Adrien is the MOST consistent characterization between these two episodes.
Those are laughably bad priorities writing wise. S1 MARINETTE doesn't make sense anymore in this regard, and please don't ask me how sad it is in hindsight seeing the Valentine's Day episode have Marinette say that she will confess her love for Adrien, because you as the viewer knows by now that season 5 had André the ice cream man do it for Marinette in the Marichat episode.
And then ADRIEN had to hard core cuddle her into her romantic development for the rest of the season so she can finally at one point say "I love you" after Adrien had to openly and publicly do it and give her the princess treatment FIRST in way too many ways for it to not be sad at this point.
How do you manage that??
How is MARINETTE the character they screwed over the most in this case regarding Derision and Dark Cupid????

I think I've made my feelings on Derision fairly clear, but if I were to acknowledge it as canon, it does add another layer to Dark Cupid. It implies Kim got the 'get down on one knee and give jewellery' thing from Chloe. He thought that was what you were supposed to do when you like someone. Whereas to Chloe, it was just a part of a trick she played on her punching bag. If you want to go further, it's proof to her of how above him she is, since he was stupid enough to believe it. (Heck, if you're feeling particularly salty, Kim did that on purpose - he was trying to remind her of the trick like it was some great moment between the two of them. I definitely don't believe that myself, but whatever floats your boat I guess.)

Considering canon has given us:
The True Love’s Kiss spell break during Dark Cupid 
AND Sleeping Beauty-mode frozen Adrien Agreste in Style Queen
What are the odds that as things go dark...and maybe once they know who Hawkmoth is (or perhaps because of it), we see both of these two concepts finally meet in the middle.
Given all the craziness they’ve already gone through and how being close in Ephemeral, even fleetingly was all Gabriel needed to turn the tides in his favor in the darkest way possible, I kind of doubt even if the Love Square reveal to each other happens before Hawkmoth is unmasked.  If anything their love and their doubts might make them both only pine that much harder.
Until Adrien tries to break free of Gabriel’s control.
Gabriel already has the alliance rings to pretend his son is there and real.  
And with no Nathalie to keep Adrien in line...and the Gorilla’s competence already in question, it wouldn’t be a leap to see Gabriel take a drastic move.
Especially since he conveniently has had at least two glass coffins for his wife since he seems to be pretty prone to smash the glass in a fit of rage.
At least to anyone who might not be watching him close enough.
Of course, Marinette would know.  She would absolutely worry...and with maybe only Alya else to lean back on, her Gabriel Agreste theory might come back up... (especially since Alya’s early theory was far more spot on than either of them ever realized.)
It just would make Adrien’s suddenly compliant behavior all the more suspect.
She wouldn’t let him suffer.  Not when she could do something about it.
We know from Style Queen that Plagg could be free when Adrien was in stasis, so long as he escaped.
We also know Adrien still has the spy tools he picked up from when Felix dropped them.
Getting down into the basement would be easy.  And with Plagg unseen by cameras, he could easily mess with the cameras to hide Ladybug’s presence in the Agreste basement.
Surely it would be shocking for Ladybug to see Adrien’s mother lying prone in the middle of the basement, after she was supposed to have been dead for more than a year.  But it would be seeing Adrien lifeless and unmoving that would be the most chilling.  Especially after knowing how free and animated as Chat Noir that Adrien had proven himself to be.
It all felt wrong.
She tried jostling him.  She tried pleading.
She even tried crying.
Her mind raced and must have tried a dozen more things -- to include her Lucky Charm to bring her Prince back to her.
Until, finally, a mad, truly reckless thought occurred.
True love’s kiss had worked once before.
She just hadn’t realized why.  She never would have imagined Chat Noir and her Adrien were one in the same.
So, Ladybug’s powers weren’t the only ones she had.
Which meant there was hope. 
With her earrings beeping furiously, Ladybug leapt forward, hastily pressing her lips to Adrien’s chilled one before she could second guess herself again.
Not daring to breathe.  At least not until he finally did.
Adrien’s green eyes fluttered open.
The soft pink glow of her de-transformation haloing around her head as Adrien slowly smiled back up at Marinette, his hand lifting up to dry the tears from her eyes.  “Hello, my Lady.”
She dove back against Adrien as he sat up, hugging him for all he was worth.
“Not that I’m complaining,” Adrien smirked, fingertips hovering just over his lips.  “But this isn’t exactly the way I expected to be woken up.  Your plans never fail to amaze me.”
Bracing her hands on either cheek, she covered her lips over his once again.  “It was a last resort,” she assured, exhaling as she backed away from him a little more.  “However, unless you want that kiss to be our last, we both need to suit up quick, to deal with your father.”

Happy Valentine's Day 🌞💕🐞
What better way to celebrate than with Ladrien? 😉
Shout out to my new Ladrien-loving friends Asti and Lettuce for growing my little idea into a whole 3x3 collab just in time for today. I swear, the longer I'm in @frostedpuffs's Discord server the more Ladrien recruits I get 😈
Anyways, check out individual full res images at @miraculosus and the side-by-side grid + silly extras at @asti-doodles [coming soon] 👀 This collab was a lot of fun and I'm proud to be contributing to the Ladrien nation reservoir

The “Forbidden Love” between Marinette and Adrien
Tumblr media
I know this has definitely been talked about a lot, but I feel we need a little refresher of all the reasons behind the narrative that Marinette and Adrien can’t be together and why they’re not true.
Their love didn’t destroy the world
Chat Blanc was wrong when he said “it was our love that did this to the world, M’lady!” No. It was not their love that destroyed the world.
There’s this narrative the show likes to push that these two can’t be together because it’s too dangerous and it’s what destroyed the world. Marinette has continuously thought that she can’t be with Cat Noir for that reason, but she wasn’t given the full story.
Tumblr media
The line she should’ve paid attention to was this: “Things were purr-fect until Hawk Moth found out about everything. Once the cat is out of the bag, it’s only a matter of time ‘til everyone knows.”
Tumblr media
That was Chat Blanc explaining it was perfect until Hawk Moth found out, but to be fair, this is also a bit vague.
Marinette may not know the full story, because she’s not an omniscient main character and the present version of her didn’t see the timeline where they were together, but we as the audience do. There’s probably people somewhere in the fandom who stand by Marinette in thinking she can’t love Cat Noir, but it’s not true.
You know who caused the world to end? Oh that’s right, Gabriel Agreste. If Gabriel actually cared about Adrien, the love between Marinette and Adrien would’ve lasted.
In Chat Blanc, Gabriel went out of his way to end the relationship between Marinette and Adrien. He purposely did that so he could akumatize Marinette. Then, obviously, Adrien transformed into Cat Noir to save her, but of course he got caught. Yes, he should’ve been careful with that, but also, his father shouldn’t have reacted the way he did when he found this out.
If Gabriel was a good father, he would’ve had that realization that he’s been hurting his own son, having him fight all these villains. He could’ve renounced Nooroo. But nope. He’s the worst father ever and just HAD to manipulate and akumatize his own son.
Tumblr media
Fast forward to Ephemeral, Gabriel also mistakenly finds out Adrien is Cat Noir (for the dumbest reason, too!) and repeats that same behavior of manipulating and akumatizing his own son. Adrien wasn’t even jeopardizing his relationship. All he did was call Marinette “M’lady” yet he STILL had to deal with this.
Tumblr media
If Gabriel was in jail or in a coma from using too many miraculouses at once, Adrien and Marinette would have a happy relationship! He’s always the root of the problem when Adrien and Marinette tried dating. It’s never been them.
Having romantic feelings isn’t the root of the problems in their relationship as heroic partners
Additionally, in Kuro Neko, Plagg plants the idea in Marinette’s mind that Cat Noir quit just because “she doesn’t love him back,” which is not why he gave up. But, it makes Marinette think that part of them having a healthy partnership might rely on them having a shared romantic interest in each other. As if it’s not possible to have a healthy partnership if she doesn’t like him back romantically. She never learns the real reason is that he was hurt because she didn’t see him as her most important partner, despite being there since day one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, Ladybug develops some feelings for Cat Walker, and she can’t think of a plan to destroy the sentimonster because she’s so distracted by Cat Walker. This further pushes the idea that she can’t love her partner either because then she’ll struggle to focus on the task at hand.
They don’t know why they’ve kissed but they’re always reminded of the times they’ve kissed
All this aside, there’s also the kisses that happened in Dark Cupid and Oblivio. The forgotten kisses.
It wasn’t until Prime Queen that Cat Noir finds out Ladybug kissed him in Dark Cupid. Let alone, he doesn’t even know why that kiss had to happen because he completely forgot about it. Although, admittedly, Ladybug wanted to kiss him, at least a little bit, because it wasn’t necessarily something she had to do. But, again, Cat Noir will never know that.
Tumblr media
Then, in Oblivio, they both forget what happens and only see this picture of them kissing. Both of them are pulling their hair out trying to figure out how in the world that kiss happened between them. There’s no way they’ll ever be able to figure out what caused it. No one was watching them prior to.
Tumblr media
Glaciator 2 really shows how much it’s gotten to them when Ladybug gets irritated that they were voted Couple of the Year. She has Alya delete all the photos of them off the Ladyblog. Meanwhile, Cat Noir gets so hurt that he feels the need to delete his own photos of Ladybug and destroy the many posters of them scattered around Paris.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
It’s sad because these two deserve to be happy together and not feel the need to question their feelings and wonder why having a relationship would be such a bad thing. They’re constantly given these ideas that they can’t be together because it’s too dangerous and causes too many issues (including destroying the world).
Cat Noir is so in love with Ladybug, but she feels the need to push him away. And it’s not necessarily because she doesn’t feel the same way, but because she believes it’s impossible to ever be with him, and potentially risky to even just trust him. It’s so sad. Marinette shouldn’t have to feel like she can’t even trust her own partner.

Do you think in Dark Cupid, Kim thought the reason Chloe rejected his gift was because he forgot to include spiders in the jewelry box?
