Anne-Jeanne Theoxanne du Bocquale is a time traveling adopted daughter of Lukadrien Adrienette
This is the first of my crack theories I've decided to tackle, is very much a major crack theory.
I have no actual proof of anything, except that:
According to this now deleted interview that can be read via Internet Archive, Wilfried Pain tells a fan that there would be a new character from the future.
The Fandom Wiki seems to think this interview is discussing season 5, but after some back and forth with a mutual, we've come to the conclusion that it's actually discussing season 4, which just so happens to be the season that Anne-Jeanne is introduced.
I've seen multiple posts of people noticing that she has quite a bit more detail than you'd expect for a small side character. She doesn't look out of place at all next to our main girl Maribug, which you can't say for a lot of the designs of minor characters.
She was slotted to be a teacher to the kids in season 5, but apparently that was scrapped. Perhaps she'll be a teacher in the new school for season 6?
As for being Lukadrien's Adrienette's daughter...
The fandom wiki claims that the vision of a T-Rex Ladybug sees in the Burrow during Chat Blanc is foreshadowing of Anne-Jeanne's existence. I'm a bit skeptical on this, but Anne-Jeanne would have needed to somehow get DNA in order to bring the T-Rexes back to life, and in Time Tagger adult Bunnyx has a pet T-Rex named Denver.
Anne-Jeane is officially introduced in season 4's Hack-San, an episode that irrevocably fractures the LadyNoir partnership.
She shows up again in Rocketear, another episode that kicks LadyNoir while it's down. (After wrangling her T-Rexes, she says she's not really sure what to do with them, and wonders if it was really a good idea to bring them back to life... Kind of an ominous statement for a show where the deuteragonist is a boy born of magic, and whose creation caused the events of literally everything in the show.)
She has a short mention in Jubilation, where her T-Rex pigeon hybrids escape and go on a rampage. Nadja Chamack asks if she has gone too far with her science creations? Another ominous statement.
It's important to note, that Ladybug accidentally wears her friend's Alliance ring while capturing the hybrid dinosaurs, and thus, gets her friend who has been pretending to be Ladybug in hot water for possibly actually being Ladybug. It's interesting that Monarque doesn't even know Socqueline was impersonating a hero, he just sees her name in the Alliance alerts and goes after her. Of course Maribug thinks it's because she's been cosplaying being a hero and Monarque found out!
Anyway, I want to make a point that the dream sequence in Jubilation is very odd. It doesn't read to me as anything other than a child's idea of what love and marriage is. For one, both French citizens and foreigners need an entire forest of identification documentation, and they need to be married at a town hall in order to be legally binding. Only then can a religious ceremony take place. Obviously Ladybug and Chat Noir cannot do that, so they are only symbolically married at a church. The babies the couple are, for lack of better words, in possession of are inanimate dolls. There's a strange haze around the entirety of the dream sequence, just like the strange haze of the season 5 finale.
One of these days I'll do a line by line rundown of the Jubilation dream sequence, but that isn't the point I'm trying to make here. The point is this: the juxtaposition of Anne-Jeanne, the actual future daughter being the catalyst for whatever the hell Jubilation was, would be *chefs kiss* excellent storytelling.
FINALLY we have the final episode of season 5: Re-Creation. Anne-Jeanne makes a cameo in an interview where she gives an ominous message:
"We all remember the worldwide nightmare epidemic followed by the victory of Ladybug over Monarch...and how the swarm of magic ladybugs swarmed the planet to repair everything and free us. This even raised global awareness. We humans have accomplished incredible things throughout history. But still, we often fall victim to our emotions, because no one teaches us how to understand or deal with them... If we don't listen to what our fears, sadness or anger are trying to tell us—
Alya turns off the monitor, and the audience doesn't hear the lesson Anne-Jeanne is trying to convey. Gabemoth had taken advantage of negative emotions in order to akumatize his victims. Presumably, future Lilamoth will do the same.
The Paris special made it very clear that our universe Adrien is just distracting himself from his grief. Bottling up and ignoring doesn't do any good. He can avoid his hurt all he wants, but it's not getting to the core issue. He needs to address his emotions in order to heal.
More propaganda!
Anne-Jeanne's dress has moonflowers on it! Guess who loves flowers and has a lot of baggage concerning the moon! Yes, that's right, our boy Adrichat! Once again, Adrien being represented by the moon is a post for another day, BUT I DIGRESS.
Plagg is the reason the dinosaurs are extinct, and has a very particular grudge against T-Rexes in particular. Well, AnneJeanne brought the T-Rexes back to life!
More of a "Lukadrien's daughter headcanon", but I think Anne-Jeanne would be using a fake name if she's actually time traveling. I like the name Aurora because Luka's hero name Viperion is based off of Hyperion, the father of the dawn who was named Eos. Eos' Roman name is Aurora. Funnily enough, I checked the Luka Couffaine tag tonight and someone else thought his daughter would be named Aurora. I promise it was just a coincidence we both came up with this name! It also sticks to the Couffaine naming tradition of ending in "A", so it's still a pun on the French acouphène :D

Where We Find Ourselves Again - Ch 5
PREVIEW:
Adrien hadn’t seen Bunnyx in twenty-three years. Yet, as she stood there in the middle of the storage room in their apartment, it was like it was yesterday. Probably because she hadn’t aged a day. Maybe twenty-three years ago for him was twenty-three minutes ago for her.
She grinned, fists on her hips, as she turned slowly, taking them all in – him, Marinette, Hugo, Plagg, Tikki, each gaping at her in amazement.
‘I can’t believe your note idea actually worked,’ said Plagg.
‘Amazing as ever!’ said Tikki.
Marinette stared at the phone in her hand – at the memo she’d just typed, the memo to remember to ask Bunnyx to visit them at this exact moment. ‘Wow,’ she breathed. ‘I really called you here?’
‘The miracles of time travel, am I right?’ Bunnyx’s eyes found Hugo, who stumbled backwards like he’d been shot by her gaze. ‘Oh wow, look at you! Practically a baby!’
Hugo paled. Probably wondering what kind of witchcraft this crazy woman in a bunny costume with a magical umbrella was wielding. ‘You…know me?’
‘Of course! An older you, anyway. Don’t worry – you’ll get to know me better, someday.’
‘I…okay….’
‘I can’t believe it,’ said Adrien. ‘You look…exactly as I remember you. But…you seem younger.’
‘Because you’re so much older. One of the quirks of time travel.’ She gave another broad grin.
He scratched his head. ‘Yeah, I guess…. I mean, the last time I was you, I was the same age as Hugo here.’
‘Whereas the last time I saw you was a few minutes ago.’
So he was right. ‘Am I allowed to know what we were doing?’
‘We were having dinner together. Then Marinette was scrolling through her phone for something and found this old memo she’d made ages ago and read it out. It said I had to come back to this exact date and time. We all laughed because you remembered this conversation we’re having now, and you – ’ She pointed at Adrien ‘ – suggested that I follow the instructions, to preserve the timeline and avoid paradox. Soooo…here I am!’ She splayed out her arms as if to say, Ta-da!
Adrien dragged his hand over his face. This time travel business really was exhausting.
‘This is why I stick to cheese,’ said Plagg. ‘Cheese isn’t nearly as complicated. Speaking of….’
Adrien waved a hand at him. ‘Yes, Plagg, you can go back to the kitchen.’
‘Finally.’ He zipped out of the room. Tikki frowned after him and remained by Marinette’s side.
Hugo took a tentative step forward, his face starting to regain some of its former colour. ‘So, you’re really from the…the future?’
Bunnyx scrunched up her nose in thought, then laughed. ‘I guess you could say that’s where I just came from…but I’m sort of outside the timestream, you know what I’m saying?’
He blinked at her.
She clapped him on the shoulder. ‘It’s okay, kid. Take it slow. Your dad here, though, must understand how easy it is to feel untethered in the time burrow. Spend enough time in there and – um, pardon the pun, Cat Boy.’
Adrien shook his head. ‘Not at all. I appreciate it.’
‘Of course you do. Well, as I was saying – spend enough time in the burrow and you give up all control over that dimension. You learn to flow, accepting that things go backwards as well as forwards and even happen simultaneously. Every reality overlaps and every possibility coexists. We can be all things at all times.’
She cast a look at Adrien, like she expected some response from him – some very specific response. Like she knew exactly what he was thinking. ‘You’re going to ask how this can be, if there’s a soul.’
‘Well –’
‘And I’m going to tell you anything’s possible if we’re infinite beings, both fragments of and the same as the All. Then you’ll ask what I mean by the All, and I’ll say that’s been debated since the dawn of mankind and even the power of time travel doesn’t help me get any closer to the answer, and you’ll give me that cute little frown you do when you’re totally flummoxed, and we’ll change the subject and have this same conversation another time. You can close your mouth, now.’
He hadn’t realised it was hanging open. He clamped it shut.

Overall, it was a good episode. I was worried with the time travel, but I would say this episode handled it the best. Alix and Chat noir got a lot of shine, and the episode ACTUALLY REMEMBERS the consequences of multiple miraculous use. Good to know
I give this an 9 out of 10
I think there could have been more, but Alix really got a lot of development and I know we wont see her for some time which does stink. But hey, It has a lot of good and I think the pacing was decent.

Evolution Things
I see you’ve all been sleeping on Alim Kubdel. Couldn’t be me <3 glad everyone’s waking up though. I’m glad to see him finally be relevant again
Also Alix ‘cause she didn’t do jack in s4???
I’m a bit confused about why adult Bunnyx was sending Alim in “our” time postcards instead of him in her time. Just so that he’d know she’s Bunnyx before it even happened? Plot bs?
Edit: I had this typed out and then I deleted it, but I saw other people mention it so I’ll edit it back in. Will Alix’s dad die??? I had the thought while watching that scene, but the tone was so cheerful I thought nahh it’s a kids show. If it’s true, though, NOOOOOO!!! Also, would it be something that happens during canon, or off-screen right between present and future Bunnyx time? Ik Alix is a pink-haired cartoon girl who just got her superpowers, but don’t orphan her! You have to make her the new MC of the series if you do. It’s anime law.
Edit 2 I can’t shut up: I remembered in Chat Blanc when people were theorizing that future Alix sentimentally holding on to this stuffed toy she won off Rose as a kid was meant to imply that Rose will succumb to her illness. If THAT’S true… *screaming and crying* if I had a nickel for every time future!Bunnyx showed up bringing a vague omen of someone’s impending death unrelated to the emergency at hand I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Okay a little fandom salt here, warning: I’m seeing everyone talk about how cute Cannigirl (?) is, and imma be real, I feel like Miss Hound, Flairmidable, and her all have similarly designed and equally good suits. But when Penalteam came out the majority of people were shitting on Miss Hound saying she looks ugly? Idk I think if Miss hound has a bad design then so does Cannigirl and if Cannigirl has a good design than so does Miss Hound. Maybe everyone’s just gotten used to the Barkk drip after the initial expectations vs reality reveal in 4-24 but I’m starting to think a lot of you guys just play favorites big time…
I love Alix’s hat tho. It’s so cute, it’s like a newsboy cap or a Donald Duck hat. I love how Sabrina had a dog ear beret and she had a dog ear cap. It’s different and fits their characters. I also love that it turns rabbit-themed when she unifies. I kinda wish it was part of her usual design? Attention fan artists who draw the kids in alternate outfits: I need more hatlix.
I’ve been waiting to see if baby Bunnyx looks different from the big one, and she does! The white part of her suit on her belly is shaped like a romper in the present while in the future it’s shaped like a crop top. Edit: baby bun doesn’t have the circle thingies oh her mask. Present!Bunnyx has a black inside on her umbrella instead of white. Future!Bunnyx keeps her normal hair and piercings when she transforms but little Alix doesn’t have piercings yet and her hair stays similar, but changes ever so slightly. It’s the same length on all sides, is styled a little differently, and is a darker shade of pink. Reminds me of Caprikid’s hair change.
The DJWifi kiss. Man people have been rightfully complaining for the past forever that we didn’t see them really interact in Animan before coming back on screen and going, “oh yeah btw we like each other now”. This was an admittedly very clever way of addressing that. Still a little weird that they became so serious so fast, but oh well, we don’t know how long the tension was building up before Origins ‘cause they’ve been close for a long time and Animan was just the tipping point.
It was also funny how they re-contextualized the taxi joke from Reverser. Turns out Scaredy-Chat wasn’t exaggerating too much!
Gabriel get drinked by Nathalie
I saw someone say Nathalie is finally growing a backbone. More like she’s wearing one as an exoskeleton. She has a literal spine of steel now, but at what cost.
Something that I find really interesting is Alix talking about her interest in engineering. This is pretty much new info for us and it adds context to future Alix’s shirt with the gear with rabbit ears. It could also lead to development in her undeveloped friendship with Max by giving them something in common beyond being aspec.
They keep dropping new hobbies for the cast beyond their “one defining cartoon character interest”. They tell us that Kim likes running and swimming, Max likes playing games and programming, Marc likes writing, and also soccer/football. But I noticed that they’ve also gotten into talking about the kids’ career aspirations. Nino likes to DJ, but he wants to direct films. Luka likes playing music, but he plans to make stringed instruments for a living. Juleka likes music too, and she likes cosmetology, but she dreams of modeling. Alix likes skating and street art, but she plans to become an engineer.
Adrien has no idea what he likes, and Marinette has too many things to choose from, so it’s interesting to watch these side characters start to figure out their futures first. Ik a timeskip to the kids as adults wasn’t in the plans for s6/s7 as announced a long time ago by Astruc, but I’d love to see them grow up and have these different hobbies vs jobs. Who will follow their current interests into the pro level and who will take a totally unexpected path? I’m looking forward to seeing more of this from others in the present.
I hope they will do the pattern of recovering a miraculous one at a time and giving it to the holder permanently. As exciting as the love square resolution is, miraculous is so lonely to me without the side characters. Idk how it’d work out with the rings, like is the kwami actually in there? Is stealing a ring the same as recovering the miraculous? But we’ll see. They can’t episodically shoehorn meaningful side character moments into episodes that aren’t really about them.
Maybe the whole season is just the cat, bug, and rabbit, but that doesn’t make sense to me. If the show was originally planned to end at s5, you’re telling me the hero team was just never coming back until post-canon? That some of them were meant to have a combined screen time of 2 minutes over the whole show? It makes no sense. Plus, why drop transformation phrases for the Penalteam heroes if they’re not gonna actually transform for over a season? Chat said it himself, we’re getting them back one by one.
Maybe each and every episode won’t feature the hero for its miraculous, but they’ll get the kwami back anyways and make the holder permanent later at a time that makes sense? Idk
Gabriel dumbed his last ass
Nathalie spit in Gabe’s eyes challenge
If I want anyone to have a redemption arc it’s her come on bbgirl I believe in you
Alix dodgeball master
Poor 1940s Barkk is so innocent. She doesn’t know what’s coming. I mean, they pulled her out of Nazi-occupied France, so comparatively the present is in a much better place, but still.
Rabbit Noir was so cute. The neon blue under-eye weirdly works, but I feel like they could’ve done something different with the tails.
Let’s drink to all the Alix screen time yet to come. I told myself that my one expectation for this episode would be good Alix time, and I got it, so I must say I’m happy. Return of the queen.
About Multiplication: idk if Mylene will be relevant to this plot considering she wasn’t in the trailer and it’s gonna be big Adrienette time, but in Mega Leech the filter thing they were protesting was a Tsurugi company product, and Ikari Gozen is quite literally a Tsurugi car. Could there be a connection? Is Mylene gonna bring her environmental concerns up to Tomoe directly? Will she help defeat her? No clue how they’re actually gonna do it ‘cause no lucky charm or cataclysm alone will defeat an army of giant samurai sports car centaurs deliberately wrecking Paris. (If you steal the mouse ring off one of the clones will it be the same as taking it when they’re all combined?)

Didn’t Need Burrow (August 7th-September 13th)
Anonymous asked:
Didn’t Need Burrow: Ladybug and Chat Noir will be asked to participate in judging a competition that Marinette and Adrien are both a part of. Ladybug will want to vote for herself as Marinette, but Tikki will tell her(once detransformed and while she is snacking) that she can’t because then people will know that Marinette is Ladybug. Chat Noir, meanwhile, will freely vote for Adrien with no repercussions or drawbacks, and Adrien will end up winning the competition. Marinette will admit that she was “so silly” to even think of voting for herself, especially since “Adrien needs the award more so that I do” despite being rich, white, male, and “perfect”(oh, I’m sorry, “purrfect”!), since all of Marinette’s legitimate problems of anxiety, dyspraxia, and the like get thrown out the window because the writers’ perfect sunshine boy incel stand-in has a “saaad home life!”, and Marinette needs to give him pity and put his feelings above his rather than wish for her own success. Cuz Girl Power.
tbh, given the leaks script, I’d reverse that and saying that Adrien voted for LadyNoir as Couple of the Year.
Anonymous asked:
Didn’t Need Burrow: Marinette and Adrien will reveal their identities, and Marinette actually WILL be disappointed that the boy who goofed off in fights and didn’t take no for an answer is none other than her perfect modeling celebrity crush. However, rather than this being a point towards Adrien needing to learn how to improve himself and accept Marinette’s feelings, this scene is used to make HER look bad(because of course it is) and she is blamed for expecting Adrien to be perfect(despite being encouraged and told to see him as such), and told that she should be happy that Chat was hitting on her even when she didn’t like it or it got in the way of battle plans, likely by Alya, because it was her true love under the mask all along. Eventually she “learns her lesson”(ick) and comes to accept Adrichat for who he is, warts and all. Bonus if she has a flashback to when Chat said “if you saw me without my mask you wouldn’t be able to resist me” as she realizes that he was right.
Didn’t Need Burrow? More like “Didn’t Need to Think About This”
i hate it

Don't Need a Burrow: Luka will be Chat Blanc "2.0"
But Luka doesn’t have Chat-level favoritism going so Bunnyx won’t be there to defend him from consequences.
Anonymous asked:
We will have Ladybug!Alya in Marinette's akumatization episode. Obviously everyone would think that she is "better" than "old" Ladybug. (Bonus points if Ladybug!Alya don't "alienate" Chat Noir, mostly by catering to his whims)
Oh, of course! No one will miss the “old” Ladybug.
Anonymous asked:
Don't Need a Burrow: Bob Roth is akumatized into Rip Off, a supervillain with power to copy anything he sees (including powers of heroes)
Okay but that’s genius.
(I know we already had it in “Miraculer” but I like this more.)
Anonymous asked:
DNB: Now that Luka knows their identities, he will push the Love Square in a romantic manner. Stans would be totally fine with this because it doesn't interfere with their endgame :)
Well, obviously!
I’m just waiting for them to basically say that the secret identities don’t matter and, because they like one side, also means they like the other side.
Because forget nuance, am I right?
Anonymous asked:
Don't Need a Burrow: In the end, (after Adrienette gets together) Narrator reveals himself (herself?) as Alya with words "that's how I helped my bestie [Marinette] get a relationship with love of her life [Adrien]" or something similar.

why did you include all the humilation
why
That explains her making herself look good though.

Don't Need a Burrow: Luka will finally reveal that he knows Heroes' secret identities... to Alya, who obviously decide to hide from Marinette that Luka knows her identity (Bonus Points if reason provided by Alya why she is doing this is utterly ridiculous)
AAAAAAAAAAAA
I guess Luka would have to realize that Alya knows. Bonus if he tells her Chat’s identity too so love square shipping can commence.

Don't Need a Burrow: "Knitting Fairy" will be name of Marinette's akumatized form.
Can you say “reused design”? I certainly can, we’re used to it.
Anonymous asked:
Didn’t Need Burrow:
Luka keeping his knowledge about the identities (esp. Ladybug’s) will somehow blow up in a way for the writers to paint him in a bad light, probably ending with Marinette not trusting him. (As well as no hint of irony that Adrien did the same thing for completely selfish reasons in Chat Blanc).

Anonymous asked:
DNB: If LS gets reversed, Adrien complains about Marinette having other friends. Not just being friends with Luka or any other guys, but friends PERIOD, showing the same jealousy/desire for his 'love interest' to be isolated as Chat Noir. These MASSIVE RED FLAGS are treated as Just More Innocent Sadrien Things, because he's sOoOoOo Sad and SoOoOoO Lonely~
Oh god, now I had an awful thought that this is where Adrien getting jealous of Luka, and Luka feels bad/”knows what’s best” so he either ditches Marinette/finds an excuse to leave or makes sure that Adrien gets his time with her.
Because it’s the love square so it’s “important” that Marinette spend time with Adrien.
Anonymous asked:
Dnb: assuming the Senti-Adrien theory is true, in the season finale, Viperion joins the fight, stops SM from using the ladybug an cat miraculi by going back in time only to use them by himself, wishing for Adrien to be a real boy (and love Marinette). Of course Luka needs to give something in exchange, worst case scenario, his life.
That got really dark.
Though tbh with how much they push Luka and Marinette around, one of them will probably have to give up something huge for Adrien (they both already sacrificed their relationship, so--).
Anonymous asked:
Don't Need a Burrow: If Chat Noir joins Shadow Moth then he is treated by both Gabriel and Heroes as his greatest asset, even through he is still complete joke that is defeated by rest of Heroes faster than Mr Pigeon in "Timetagger". (Bonus points if Heroes defeat him by "Backhand Offhand", Offscreen or he is defeated by "Friendly Fire" from Akuma of the Week due to his own stupidity)
tbh I could probably do more sad math with “how often Chat Noir/Cataclysm is useless,” bonus if it’s put up against characters/Ladybug stroking his ego.
Anonymous asked:
DNB: Adrien's fears concerning Ladybug are made more explicit through a nightmare/vision (possibly akuma-induced) of Ladybug calling him unreliable/saying she doesn't need him anymore because she has partners she can actually COUNT on. Naturally, this is treated as Pure Sadrien Hours rather than a fair critique. Bonus if he ditches/forces her to beg for his assistance AGAIN to soothe his poor bruised baby ego.
*“Malediktator” flashbacks, but Adrien instead of Chloe*
Anonymous asked:
Didn't Need Burrow: Adrien/Chat Noir skips out on a fight/akuma attack for some spiteful, selfish reason or another. Ladybug handles it without him, either completely through her own skill or with help from Rena/other heroes. Adrien then angsts about 'not being needed', with Marinette's 'Mistake of the Day' being that she didn't cater to his pity party due to being too busy DOING HER DAMNED JOB.
me seeing that one leaked script where they talk about how Chat/Cataclysm would make things easier: *sigh*
Anonymous asked:
Didn't Need Burrow: Plagg will encourage Adrien to act even more selfishly, skipping more battles and being even brattier. This is so his stans can blame Plagg for being 'a bad influence' on their perfect angel, even when it's clear the two of them are on the same wavelength. Oooh, he's twisting his rubber arm; how AWFUL--! Adrien would NEVER do all these Awful Things he's already done if he didn't have Plagg~! What a bad kitty~!

tbh Plagg already is super laidback and doesn’t really like transforming/complains about going into battle, so this isn’t much of a stretch.

DNB: "Gabriel Agreste" or other episodes will reveal that Gabriel flew many, if not ALL of the same Red Flags his son displays on a regular basis. The narrative treats this as though this makes Gabriel more 'sweet, sad and sympathetic' rather than illustrating that both of them are dangerously entitled and generally awful.
This sounded really intriguing as a sort of “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” thing until that last sentence kicked in.
That’s damn accurate to what they’d do too, ugh.

DNB: Plagg is the one that discovers that Gabriel is Hawk/Shadowmoth, but is forcibly sworn to silence by Adrien. Bonus if Adrien somehow gives this command without learning what Plagg is trying to tell him -- i.e. he get irritated and orders Plagg to shut up in a way that bars him from EVER saying what he was attempting to say -- so that Adrien's stans can claim it was all a big misunderstanding and blame Plagg entirely for it. Or Marinette. Somehow.
Oh oh oh!
Alternatively, Adrien silences Plagg without realizing that he has that kind of power (like saying, “you can’t tell anyone!” and we see the magic hit Plagg’s mouth), so the fandom can say, “HE DOESN’T KNOOOW THAT HE DID IT.”

DNB: To further cement the whole 'destined to be' shlock, after the shock of the eventual reveal wears off, we get a call back to how frequently Chat Noir told Ladybug that they were meant for each other and that she 'was the only one who didn't see it'. Marinette agrees that she was silly and foolish for not recognizing it sooner, parroting Adrien's bullshit in order to further cement the notion that she's HAPPILY accepting her 'fate' to be nothing more than his personal prize.
You can’t see it but I have my head in my hands in grief.
Anonymous asked:
DNB: Adrien's gross sense of entitlement towards Ladybug will become even more explicit, with him angrily ranting about how he DESERVES to 'get the girl'. No matter how awful and nasty he gets, the narrative continues to treat him as though he's 100% right to be pissed off at her for DARING to have agency or thinking she has a say in things. As clearly, the biggest mistake Marinette has ever made is thinking she gets to have Opinions or make her own decisions. G-girl power...?
Marinette needing to be constantly told what’s best for her by other people and it’s okay because she needs to accept+follow all opinions.

Didn’t Need Burrow: As a result of being written by a straight white male writing team, the show starts to use Marinette’s girliness against her. From her love of pink being mocked to the kwamis admitting(in the spirit of another DNB) that they don’t respect Marinette because she’s “too girly”, to her fashion designing being treated as a cutesy but ultimately fickle pastime(in the spirit that all teenage girls’ interests are treated), the show absolutely throws Girl Power out the window in favor of giving Marinette absolute hell for daring to present herself in a traditionally feminine way, treating her femininity as the butt of a joke that no one is laughing at. Bonus points of someone says(or even outright tells her to her face) that she’s “such a girl”, as if that’s supposed to be an insult. Alternatively, this happens to Rose instead of Marinette, as she’s just as girly if not more so than her, or it happens to both of them(regardless of whether or not it’s at the same time).

Especially on that “comment that Alya is just as good, if not better,” one, it probably won’t even be used as a reassurance for Marinette like, “oh, that’s good to know that I’m not the only one who can be Ladybug,” it’ll just be praise for Alya.

“Alright, so tonight is going to be fairly standard. Arkham is silent, and there’s no solid leads on what any of the free rogues might be up to. Harley is sick and Ivy is stuck at home taking care of her, so they aren’t going to be up to anything on either side of the law for a few days. Catwoman is the only person we’d have to look out for right now, but her kleptomania has taken her out of the city for a change,” Barbara was typing away at the large Batcomputer keyboard as she brought all of the Gotham vigilantes up to speed on what to expect for patrol that night. “So, Red Hood and Black Bat will take the Narrows and surrounding area patrol route like usual. Nightwing and Batgirl, Upper east side and fashion district patrol route. Red Robin, you’re taking the route that passes city hall and through Old Gotham and Diamond District, and if you don’t throw a fit maybe you can take Robin with you. Batman, crime alley and Newtown patrol. Robin or no Robin, pick your poison,” the redhead offered, finally spinning her wheelchair around to look at everyone. “We’ll be pretty spread out tonight, but like I said, there’s nothing. No whispers of anything planned on the dark web, no news from any of the rogues, Blackgate and Arkham are, dare I say, peaceful right now. But if you see anything, I’ll redirect you guys so you can get backup ASAP.”
This was a rare night. Usually there was at least a plot or red flag to investigate, but not that night. For some reason, it seemed like Gotham had gotten a dose of sanity that it had been desperately missing.
“Actually,” Alfred took that moment to walk in, a slight pep to his step that seemed to catch everyone’s attention. “I do have news. Batman, you of course know that I have been keeping a close eye on Paris’s situation as per your orders, yes?”
Bruce, who had already been inching towards the batmobile none too subtly, suddenly stood stock still and slowly turned to look at his father figure. He could feel the eyes of his many children honing in on him, silent questions behind those orbs.
“Of course, I remember,” he confirmed cautiously. “You haven’t had an update for me in years.”
Years? Tim furrowed his eyebrows. That meant this had to be something that stretched very far back, because everything that Batman tried to keep secret from him since he became Robin had already been outed. Right? Well, he supposed there was always the possibility that Bruce could have snuck something by, but not a large one. Between him and Oracle, any new secrets he tried to squirrel away were unearthed pretty swiftly. So, most likely this was something Bruce had asked Alfred to keep an eye on at least back when Jason was still Robin. Maybe even further back than that.
“Yes, well you wouldn’t have appreciated any prior updates, sir,” Alfred said pointedly, raising an eyebrow. He always would be the one to understand Bruce Wayne and Batman the best out of all of them. “But this is a big one. I used our inside contact to check up on the Paris situation like I do every month, and this came up,” Alfred pulled out a remote from his pocket and clicked it at the computer, triggering it to bring up an article that likely had been hidden and only accessible via that remote signal. If Barbara had had any reason to check for hidden files she would have found it easily, but Alfred was good at never giving any hints as to when he was hiding something.
But what was on the computer was far more interesting than the all-too-familiar, cryptid ways of Alfred Pennyworth.
Because it was a news article from an online Paris newspaper. It was still in untranslated French, but nobody in that room had any trouble reading it. It was dated to have been published two weeks earlier.
On the cover picture for the article was a man that everybody also recognized, being high-profile and extremely influential in the fashion industry. Most of them had even met the man at least once, the aging Gabriel Agreste. In his early seventies, it was odd to see the man being herded into a police vehicle. He didn’t seem all that threatening, though he still struck an oddly intimidating figure with his cold glare and straight back. Being herded behind him was a woman of around Bruce’s own age, with long brown hair in several elaborate braids. Her dark, almost muddy green eyes bore into the camera and a snarl was on her face. Lila Rossi, the model that had been employed under Agreste for quite some years now and had turned into a sort of reality TV celebrity after she got too old to be hired for as many modeling gigs. She was known as highly untrustworthy, a lie monger and the most infamous gossip in the celebrity world. The headline for the article was;
“THE PARISIAN NIGHTMARE FINALLY OVER! AFTER THIRTY YEARS OF TORMENT, THE HAWKMOTHS OF PAST AND PRESENT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED.”
Underneath that title picture was another, this one detailing the Parisian heroes to stop Hawkmoth, who had been replaced years ago by his female counterpart Monarch, a play on the Monarch Butterfly. The Heroes, on the other hand, had remained mostly the same after the infamous confusion of the early years of Hawkmoth’s reign of terror, where Ladybug had temporarily started adding hero after hero to the team before mysteriously and suddenly retiring almost all of them.
On the right was Ladybug, who stood proud with her arms crossed and a somber gaze directed towards the two unmasked villains. On the left was Chat Noir, in a weird black leather costume that was like a bizzare yet fashionable meld of DiscoWing and the classic Batman uniform. Minus a cape or cowl, of course. Standing behind them, all fanned out, were the last four members of their team. Viperion, in a dark teal snake-themed costume. Ryuuko, standing next to him in a black and red ensemble with her elemental symbol proudly on her chest. Bunnyx, in her bright baby blue and white, and lastly the imperious Stinger behind them in her black outfit with gold accents.
As everyone but Alfred and Bruce read the article and examined the photos as quickly as they could, the eldest vigilante in the room slowly removed his cowl. His eyes were wide, disbelieving as they stared only at the two pictures on the screen and didn’t pay any heed to the article itself.
“Thirty years,” Jason remarked, turning to face Bruce angrily. “Paris has been under attack by magical madmen for thirty years, and you never told us? We knew nothing about this, and this has been going on since before us. Since before you, even,” he waved a hand at the screen angrily. “You know that they have been under attack since before Batman was even a thing, and you never said anything? We could have helped! The league could have—“
“Been a liability,” Bruce interrupted, but it was the uncharacteristic softness to his tone that ultimately shut Jason up and attracted everyone else’s rapid attention. “The league knows. The founding members, anyway. It was something I briefed them on back when we first founded the League, but we were careful to keep any mention of it off of any electronic system. The magic behind the attacks stopped any word of the terrorism from getting out through normal means. We pretended to put the JLE in Paris, when really they are centered miles out of city limits and never set foot inside Paris’s boundaries.”
“Why?” Dick asked, his own mask off so that he could glare into Bruce’s eyes without it obscuring his expression at all. He wasn’t explosively angry like Jason, but it was clear that Dick wasn’t happy either. “They all look to be your age, Bruce. Which means they’ve been fighting HawkMoth since they were teenagers, on their own, since before there was any Justice League or very many other established heroes at all to provide backup. And I get that HawkMoth and Monarch seem to have controlled or fed off negative emotions and a lot of us would have been liabilities, but there are Leaguers who have extreme control over their emotions. You could have gone. Or J’onn, you could have even sent Tim. Anybody to help even a little.”
“Paris isn’t my city, it’s Ladybug’s city. The League and most metahuman heroes stay out of Gotham because I asked them too, but I am not the first to have the idea that keeping other heroes out of a volatile city can be beneficial for damage control. Ladybug herself told me not to allow any interference in the situation,” Bruce braced himself against the back of one of their metal debriefing chairs, leaning forward so it could take most of his weight. That, and the way he never looked away from the photos displayed on the computer, tipped off everyone else that Bruce might not have stayed uninvolved willingly. That he had a deeper connection to the whole Paris mess than just keeping a shrewd eye on a possible issue.
“You know Ladybug?” Tim decides to speak up, leaning back against the desk that housed the batcomputer keyboard. His voice was decidedly softer than that of his elder brothers’.
Bruce nodded, still in an odd partial trance. “We met when I was on a trip to Paris, before I became Batman. It was twenty-three years ago, I was eighteen and found out the hard way about the situation that the rest of the world was somehow oblivious to. I was able to meet Ladybug during one of her patrols, and confronted her. Even after I became Batman two years later, she refused any help. It wasn’t until about a year before I adopted Dick that I finally decided I couldn’t keep worrying about a situation and people that I wasn’t being allowed to help, so I told Alfred to use the sources that Ladybug had given me back when we first met to check in on the situation every month or two. I know that it was not the best decision, making Alfred do what I couldn’t bring myself to, but by the time I adopted Dick I had mostly forgotten about it. I was too worried about trying to figure out how to raise a kid and then deal with raising a vigilante kid after that, for the first time.”
Silence reigned for a while. This was, essentially, news that Bruce had been waiting to hear for over twenty years. An outcome that he had been barred from being a part of. Talk about bittersweet, especially when Bruce seemed so passionate about wanting to have helped. Probably too guilty about not being allowed to.
In the end, it was Damian who made the connection between this news and his father’s foreign mood and behavior first. Or at least, he was the first to vocalize it. Cass probably noticed it sooner.
“You have feelings for Ladybug,” Damian somehow managed to make the declaration sound like a reprimand. “I admit, she is likely much better of a suitor for you than that mangy cat, but I hardly think that trying to start courting her again after so long apart is reasonable. She could have changed from—“
“I know, Damian,” Bruce’s knuckles were white from how tightly he was gripping the chair. “Trust me, I have spent more than enough hours contemplating calling her again to catch up, but I knew it was best to stay away. I had grown busy with Batman and the League anyway, and adding the time difference on there was no way any relationship between us would have been feasible.”
“So you cut yourself off from even being her friend. Which, might I remind you, I heavily advised against,” Alfred finally cut back into the conversation, hands clasped behind his back. “The two of you had maintained a perfectly stable long distance friendship for over five years, and I still consider the day you cut her off to be one of your stupidest mistakes, master Bruce. On an unrelated note, I received a call from the designer that you always commission your more high-fashion suits from, sir. She is coming to Gotham for a time, and I gave her an invitation to come visit for dinner tomorrow. I hope you don’t mind.” With that said, Alfred turned on his heel and walked away.
“That man never raises his voice, but somehow still makes you feel like absolute shit when he gets mad,” Stephanie mused aloud when the butler had left, earning silent nods from everyone else.
“How are you still alive, Father?” Damian asked, raising an eyebrow over one vibrant green eye. “If you cut off Ladybug only to continue to commission the person that I assume is her civilian identity on a regular basis, how has that idiocy not blended into the rest of your life?”
“It has,” Jason added in, always up for a game of Rag on Bruce. “He’s just always had this annoying ability of surviving even the shittiest situations he ends up in. It’s like he has plot armor or something.”
Bruce only grunted, pulling his cowl back on. “Patrol. Robin, you’re with Red Robin today. Don’t kill each other.”
“Oh no, I want to live to see the girl you’ve apparently been crushing on since you were a teenager,” Tim said as he ambled over to his motorcycle. “Seeing THAT reunion is gonna be way better than picking another fight with Demon Spawn.”
“Tt.”
—*—*—*—*—*
“Your tie won’t get any straighter,” Barbara teased Bruce, watching as he fiddled with the tie around his throat for the millionth time in just the past ten minutes. Alfred had made sure that he couldn’t escape this, even going so far as benching Batman for the night.
And to make matters worse, it was still far too early for patrol so all the Wayne kids were present. Stephanie had other obligations to see to, unfortunately, but other than her even Jason had come over to the manor to see the fallout.
“Master Bruce, she is here,” Alfred’s voice cut through the almost palpable nerves emanating from the usually stoic or charismatic man. Batman was nowhere to be seen at the moment, but neither was Playboy Billionaire Brucie Wayne. No, this was Bruce Wayne, as genuine as anybody could see him. And more nervous than his kids had ever witnessed.
The door was opened, and in stepped someone that defied any of the Batkid’s preconceptions. They were expecting someone suave, sophisticated, with hard-earned muscle trying to hide under her skin. Like a Wonder Woman type of person, bursting with strength except for when they made an effort to disguise it. But that was not what they got. No suave, sophisticated bachelorette of a businesswoman and reputable fashion designer. No goddess-masquerading-as-a-human. Not even a femme fatale like Selina Kyle or most of Batman’s exes.
But there was a distinct observation that the kids made the moment they saw her.
Black hair, so dark that it seemed to reflect blue in the light, and clear blue eyes that were dark, vibrant, and seemed to glow with intelligence and humor, with just the slightest gray tones that hid in them grim experiences and disillusion.
She had a smile that was eerily similar to Dick’s when she laid eyes on the family and let it spread across her face. It was like the warmth of the sun, and instantly made the impersonal foyer feel cozy and welcoming. But the sharpness in her eyes as she scanned over all the people gathered, more than she expected if her eyebrow raise was any indication, was just like Tim. Too much like Tim.
She came to a stop a few feet away from the Wayne clan, and rested one hand on her waist as she popped her hip out. Jason’s attitude.
Her hair was up in a simple but elegant bun, with a braid curling around the base of it. She was small, about five foot four if their estimates were correct, and the sleek sleeves of her midnight blue dress simultaneously emphasized and disguised the lithe, corded muscle mass that seemed to flow smoothly down her arms. Not a brawler’s muscle, but an acrobat or gymnast’s. The delicate silver embroidery along the sleeves and trim of her dress, and curling around her waist like a belt of thread, was in actuality a string of bats in various flight poses interspersed with silver swirls and tiny ladybugs. Her own playful personality, it seemed, something innocent and daring and subtle all at once that didn’t quite fit any of the kids, it was solely hers.
“I am Marinette Dupain-Cheng,” the woman finally introduced herself, holding out her hand even as her radiant smile stayed firmly in place. When her eyes found Bruce again, they stayed there. “An old friend of your father’s. And by the way, Bruce. If you ever cut contact with me again without ever explaining yourself, I will not stay twiddling my thumbs in some other city again. I will hunt you down and get you to tell me what exactly possessed you to freeze me out, and only if it is some really good reasoning will I let you off without giving you a remedial lesson in the importance of dodging.”
Damian’s fire.
Dick looked over at Bruce, then at Marinette. She caught his eye, nodded and winked, and looked back to her old friend.
“But I do have to say, this looks suspiciously like a family we might have had if you had ever gotten up the courage to ask me out all those years ago instead of not realizing that I never specifically forbade you from visiting Paris, only heroes in general. You’re lucky I’m patient. I spent thirty years waiting to get back the Butterfly Miraculous and lock those two up for good, but making me wait twenty years to finally confess to you is a bit much, don’t you think? And adopting kids with only blue eyes and black hair is a bit on the nose, even for you.”
Scratch that, Damian’s loyalty.
Bruce really had adopted kids that reminded him of Marinette in some way, and the way he would grin or smile at Damian when he was displaying his usually subtle but steady loyalty, or the way that Bruce had almost unending tolerance for Damian’s stubbornness, it all started to make sense.
Bruce had tried building a family around the one he imagined he could have had with Marinette.
“Mari—“
“Nope. You’ve made me wait this long, you don’t even get a hug until after dinner. Then we can catch up, and you’ll take me out to dinner in a few days,” suddenly what was happening seemed to creep up on the woman, and she fidgeted. Sheepishness rose to her face, and she winced at her own words. But damn, she had imagined this day for so long, she couldn’t help but get assertive! “I mean, if you want to. I get it if you lost interest in dating me, but—“
“How about I set up a private dinner on the top of Wayne enterprises, day after tomorrow. We can even do a patrol afterwards if you’re up to it.”
His sons all facepalmed, some inwardly and some outwardly. Barbara groaned and Cass pinched the bridge of her nose. But, to their astonishment, Marinette’s smile just came back full force.
“Aww, you know I can’t resist the offer of a patrol. But just one, I want to enjoy some time off now that I’m not perpetually on-call as Paris’s main hero.”
Bruce finally grinned back, his eyes soft for the first time in a while that wasn’t directed at his kids. In way that they had never been soft towards Selina or most of his past flings.
“Just one patrol, then.”
“Sounds like a date.”
First attempt to upload this goofed and deleted the first part, so here is attempt number two! Again, Brucinette has been invading my dreams.
Apparently there is a part 2 now.

Different Transformation Phrases and Effects on User theory (also what might happen to Natalie)
So I was rewatching the NY special, and noticed that Hawkmoth tells Techno-Pirate that he needs to say “Wings of Prey” to transform when he gave him the Eagle Miraculous. However, when Ladybug got it back and threw it to Jess to use, Liiri said “Wings of Liberty”.
At first, my friends and I thought I was mishearing, then when I could verify I didn’t, we thought it was a translation error. Nope, turns out it was intentional:
If that’s the case, we can clearly tell the differences when someone uses the Miraculous for good and for evil. For example, Miraculizer has fully functional wings, whereas Jess doesn’t. Miraculizer has the ability to use his power more than once than the presumed usual of doing it to one person at the time while Jess most likely can do that once before having five minutes to detransform (but it can just be the akuma, like Queen Wasp).
From there, we can infer that using the Miraculous for evil is a quick way to use more of its power. Hawkmoth doesn’t need to detransform quickly possibly because of that and terrorize Paris long enough to get what he wants. He’s possibly bragging about that to the heroes in the season 2 finale. However, using the Miraculouses improperly have been shown and stated to have very adverse effects on the users. Marinette merely wearing multiple of them made it harder for her to walk (for a moment but still) and Fu warned her she may go insane from it in Kwamibuster.
Perhaps Gabriel is also suffering from those effects by using the Butterfly Miraculous for evil and quickly to use more of its power, not physically, but mentally and cognitively. In season 1, he was scary and generally competent, but in season 2, he had made grave errors through choosing Markoth and the baby as his akumas, though he had problems with having to fight with his own son for his Miraculous. In season 3, he has made more questionable decisions and in the alternate universe, was totally okay with trying to akumatize Adrien to get his Miraculous and Ladybug’s. The longer he tries to get his wife back, he starts losing his rational thinking and his love for his son. Perhaps at first, he was aware of the consequences but was desperate, but after a while, it isn’t just desperation plaguing his mind. It’s not doing some sort of preparation or training to get more power that costs him his sanity.
To further support this theory in the contrary way, Bunnyx was seen to be able to stay transformed longer and use her power multiple times, but is arguably the highest pinnacle of mental strength in this show, with being willing to stay in a coffin for 5000 years just to get her Miraculous fixed and face decaying from existence to make sure that all timelines are in order. Perhaps the Miraculous may have had an effect on her mind to numb her to this sort of pain and horror, but it doesn’t rule out that she could’ve done some sort of preparation or training to use its full power by following the good side, and the others can do that also. She’s also pretty nice and pleasant overall with excellent quick thinking, further supporting that.
The de/transformation phrases of “Dark Wings Rise/Fall” and “Wings of Prey” are aggressive and obviously evil, but where does this put Natalie? She’s able to stay transformed for longer than five minutes, her transformation phrase “Spread my feathers” isn’t aggressive and obviously evil and is pretty neutral, and she’s obviously abusing it.
So here are two possible reasons why Natalie is able to do this, especially with the possibility that even fixing the Peacock Miraculous won’t mean she’s going to stay mentally well, on top of the seemingly permanent damage of the Peacock Miraculous:
1. Natalie can stay transformed for longer because her body absorbed quite a bit of the Peacock Miraculous’s power (her body already gets its wounds after all) and sustain the transformation longer, at the cost of her physical health, though maybe not mental because Emile was seen as normal in personality (but we can’t be sure since we get that from her son and husband). Perhaps she’s also aware that using it for evil will be bad in the long-term and even worse when damaged, so she uses the “good” phrase to make it less risky.
Or
2. Natalie is quite possibly, a legitimately experienced Miraculous holder in her own right and she’s technically not abusing it at all (other than using it when it’s obviously too dangerous for her). As much as Duusu thinking Natalie is using it for good reasons is unreliable, the Peacock Miraculous may be designed to assist heroes not only in battle, but self-defense for the defenseless. Using fear, sadness, and anger as emotions to create sentimonsters can be seen as perfectly fine, because the person really wants to get out of a sticky situation, or is mad and sad the enemy hurt someone dear to them and let the have power over their situation, while still under control by the Miraculous holder. To further support this, according to the short “Natalie as seen by Gabriel”, she was the reason why they founded the Miraculouses, so she could’ve been a Miraculous holder way longer than Emile but it got damaged while Emile was using it. The season 2 finale doesn’t rule out it’s her first time using it either. This experience to stay transformed longer kind of helps her when she’s using it when broken, and possibly why she can make complex sentimonsters like Ladybug when it might be a struggle to a beginner.
Both theories would certainly match up with the hints that she might make Hawkmoth “look like a baby” if it ever happens, because she’s the one who has the most power and better mental state compared to him.
In any case, I certainly hope this gets more explored in the future, but my hopes are not high since this may be a dub exclusive thing with the regular ol’ “transformez-moi” thing in French and that’s the most canon script. I credit my friend and my sister for helping me to flesh out this theory.

I've been nothing but random ideas since watching Chat Blanc, and one idea just won't let me go.
Bunnyx states that she got her job because she's good at keeping secrets. So what if at some point Alix figured out that Marinette is Ladybug and has kept it quiet this whole time, and by the time Marinette figures this out she's met adult Alix several times and is well aware of Bunnyx's powers.
So she gives Alix a mission, keep an eye on the timeline, and make sure that neither she or Chat gets akumatized. She's seen first hand what it will do to Chat, and she knows that if it happens to her, there will be no way for her to be purified.
And for the most part it's super easy for Bunnyx. See what happens in the future, give Tikki a heads up the night before, and she keeps a closer watch over Marinette the next day. After all, Gabriel seems oddly fixated on turning Marinette.
But, we also know from the first time we meet Bunnyx, that Gabriel is not the Hawkmoth that sent that Akuma back in time. So at some point he gets usurped. And Gabriel strikes me as an 'over my dead body' sort of villain.
So my general assumption is that he either dies or is incapacitated.
Which leaves the question, who takes on his miraculous?
As I see it right now, we have 3 choices. Natalie, continuing her bosses mission (possible). Chloe, still trying to stick it to Ladybug (unlikely). Or Lila. I'm going to go with crazy pants Lila Rossi for Hawkmoth version 2.0.
Much crazier, angrier, and unhinged.
Suddenly Bunnyx is confronted with a much bleaker future than akumatized Ladybug and Chat Noir. It's a future where new Hawkmoth, just straight up wants them dead.
So now she goes to the dynamic duo, after exhausting every possible way to fix the timeline.
And lays out the 57,000 times that she cockblocked Chat Noir (because he's somehow the less oblivious of the two and keeps figuring out who Ladybug is which, while his father was Hawkmoth never ended well). Because every future she's seen is certain death for them, but also no longer runs the risk of akumatization.
The only variable that hasn't been tried is if they knew who the other one was to be able to better protect each other. And it works. Insert mushy reveal, and Chat Noir 'accidentally' breaking Alix's miraculous at some point.
Bunnyx continues to monitor the past, later going back in time to the first time mini-bug and baby-chat met her, because, finally they're gaining ground on Hawkmoth 2.0, and she's desperately trying to get one up on them.

Chat Blanc (aka what could have been)
Since my friend @gryffindorcls has been so kind to send me the English subtitles, I’m gonna rewatch the episode now.
(Link)
I’ll be writing about it too.
Here I go.
Adrien’s fifth middle name? And there’s a day to celebrate it? What’s that all about??
Adrien won a fencing competition YAYYY!!! Congratulations my boy!
Fucking Gabriel wants his son to excel at everything but he can’t make time to appreciate him for his achievements because he is busy monologuing in front of his wife’s corpse? Screw you Hawkmoth (because that’s all he is for me now).
Adrien was so happy to realise that the boy Ladybug is in love with is him! (Honestly, I’m so glad that there wasn’t another “There’s Luka” moment) Also, further proof that Adrien is not oblivious.
“Just because I know her secret identity doesn’t mean she needs to know mine too.” Adrien decided to keep it a secret because he knew how important it was for Ladybug that their identities are kept a secret! Oh this boy is so precious we need to protect him at all costs!
Chat... he thought he lost his Lady. He was so remorseful. He just wanted to undo his “mistakes”... my heart!
“I always felt there was something more.” Let this be the new Adrienette chant!
I just noticed that Luka was playing his guitar in thebackground when Adrien and Marinette were dancing together. He was happy for Marinette. He is such a sweet boy.
How dare Hawkmoth say that Marinette’s relationship with Adrien was ruining the image of his brand? You jerk, that girl has a million times class than what you or your shitty secretary or your evil wife will ever have!
That break-up scene... I’m gonna cry no matter how many times I see it...
Marinette chose to leave Adrien just so that he did not have to go back to hislonely life again...
Adrien was crying... he loves her... he didn’t want it to be over...
I’m gonna say it again. Gorilla is the only person I accept as Adrien’s parent. I want him to kill Hawkmoth and Nathalie and take custody of Adrien.
Well fuck you Hawkmoth for rejoicing in the pain of your son’s girlfriend!
“I’ve never felt so strong a sense of hopelessness as I feel now.”
“Marinette Dupain-Cheng will be the greatest work of art.”
I’m going to murder that man you see...
That reveal scene... it was the cutest! It could have been so beautiful if not for Nathalie... screw you too Nathalie!
Adrien... he just wanted to fix everything and be with Marinette...
The body posture of Ladybug and Hawkmoth’s remains speaks a lot. Ladybug was reaching out to him, because she wanted to save him... and Hawkmoth was just shielding himself.
Adrien, on knowing that Hawkmoth is his father, stopped himself from Cataclysming him, because he just wanted answers. Hawkmoth, on knowing Chat Noirishis son, manipulated him, threw him out of his lair, hit him like a ball into the Eiffel tower, and akumatised him.
Please, someone just take that precious sunshine child away from that hell of a place!
Adrien... oh Adrien... he couldn’t take it anymore! Hawkmoth was making him choose between his love and his mother.
Leave him alone, he is just a baby!
Chat Blanc wanted to destroy everything. Himself, his lady, their love, the memories. He was so done... I just want to hug him...
So Bunnyx was slowly disappearing because Chat Blanc was going to destroy the world and everyone and everything in it!
Now I understand the significance of the unicorn. If Marinette succeeded in giving the gift to Adrien, Alix would return the unicorn to Rose. But that would set off the series of events leading to everyone’s extinction! So for the world to see the light of the future, Marinette needed to fail in that, and then Alix would not return the unicorn and she would have it.
“To me, you’ll always be Chat Noir.” Ah, my heart!
I saw a Sentibug parallel. Sentibug tried to fool Chat Noir into kissing her so that she could take away his ring. Ladybug tried to fool Chat Blanc into kissing her so that she could take away his akumatised bell.
“I free you from evil Chat Noir!” This time, Ladybug’s prime intention wasn’t to de-evilize the butterfly, she wanted to bring back her kitty!
Chat looked so sad when Ladybug told Bunnyx they have to make him forget... he wanted to remember that Ladybug is Marinette...
“I never doubted it for a second.” It makes my heart catch how much he trusts and loves Marinette.
In a way, it is a good thing that Marinette did not know what could have been. If she had seen the beautiful relationship that she had with Adrien, then it would have broken her heart to erase it; maybe she couldn’t have been able to go through it in the end...
She has faith in Adrien that he would not expose her. She thinks it spread to Chat Noir through no fault of his. She trusts him so much. Oh my...
Chat Noir’s song...
“A small sitting cat on a roof, is bored waiting for his lady.”
Chat Blanc was waiting for his Lady, his broken heart did not realise what he had done...
It looked so cute though when Chat Noir was singing it, he looked like a happy little kitty! (Ah the contrast...)
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, but this works just fine for me.”
The little Ladynoir scene was the perfect ending.
Fuck the finale. This is the finale for me. All Love Square shippers were fed because we had everything. We were fed with every side of the square, and we got the cutest reveal ever. I know it was all reversed, but it warms my heart to know that in some timeline, they were happy.
Also, shove Hawkmoth’s cane up his ass. He is the only one standing in the way of their happiness. I don’t want his Miraculous to be taken away, or him to be arrested; all that is too mild a fate for him. I say straight up kill him.
It was a great episode though. I loved it.

___________________________________________
Okay so I am LOVING this continuity. The flow is nice. It seems like they are actually USING the characters! Season 5 seems to really seems to be an improvement. The writing is much more crisp. The pacing is a lot better, the drama is more apparent. It’s like they took the best aspects of season 3 and 4 and fixed it.
I enjoy the ladynoir and adrinette. Solid stuff
Felix’s mom is awesome. (And she is single)
Gabriel seems to have a new plan that involve those rings and Tomoe seems in on it.
I’m hoping it’s the rich cult from season 4.
Adrien finally waking up and realizing Marinette is special is about DAMN TIME!
And just in time for Marinette to try and keep her distance. A little late, but a reverse lovesquare would be lovely.
Overall I will say that this is a solid 8.5 out of 10.
It is a bit dialogue heavy but I think it’s crucial in setting up the next episodes. Now some might call that boring, I call it world building.
If season 5 can keep this level of good writing and execution it will be a great season.

Some people are expecting commentary from me, but I’ve been super busy lately. When I’m like this, I like to only talk about things I haven’t seen other people saying.
So I liked Kuro Neko a lot. It was very solid imo and I appreciate the alternation between episodes where a ton of action happens (Ephemeral, Penalteam) vs episodes where the two dorks just kinda talk to each other and not much happens heroes-vs-villains-wise (Glaciator 2.0, Kuro Neko). Commentary speed run: Adrien pajamas hell yeah finally, wtf Nathalie out of bed? Good for her but ouch those braces. Rhythm (is that her real name?) was super cute and wholesome as a “villain”, and I love the senti. Lastly, Plagg is awesome at drawing?
But here’s what I wanted to talk the most about.
CT’s favorite thing: new heroes
The almost-last batch of my blorbos have arrived so clearly I stared at screenshots of all of them for 48 hours and noticed some stuff. I would like to point out that these 48 hours also let me go through what I call The Five Stages of New Hero Grief aka getting over the instant repulsion people feel upon seeing their designs for the first time and learning to love and accept them.
Between his ram-like original concept and the antelope-like final Caprikid, I don’t think Nathaniel actually knows what a goat is? My manga rec for him is one of those baby picture books about different types of animals. Now that I’ve gotten used to him, I actually like his suit. It reminds me of Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3. I feel like I’d like him waaaay more if his hair was different, though. It throws me off that it’s so similar to its usual style, even if it’s a little different, so any sort of more noticeable change would’ve made him look more natural. Idk why his paintbrush would have golden metal if everything on him is silver, but oh well.
Sabrina looks just about how I expected her to. I totally called it that she would have a hat. I’ll talk about her design more when I get to that image of her standing upright ‘cause this angle sucks, but I think the marble-designed ball on her chest could be her tool. If her power has to do with tracking, maybe she’ll be useful in tracking down the original, non-clone Penalty who has the actual akumatized object on her.
Minotaurox my beloved. Everyone’s saying that they see his suit as black, but I see it as navy blue? It’s a kinda desaturated color compared to most of the other suits, but he’s still all blue? (Trust me, I have perfect color vision). I like the way his mask is, it’s new and interesting. I also love the big cargo pockets. Practical. I think the puffy part around his shoulders is supposed to be like an ox yoke. His boots kinda confuse me ‘cause cloved hooves like that could never work irl but I guess it’s just part of the magic. I feel like his normal hair works well with his design because his suit is pretty reminiscent of Ivan’s usual clothes with the cargo pockets, boots, dark colors, and not a lot of details or flashiness. That’s why Nathaniel’s bothers me a little, since his clothes, on the other hand, looks so different from his usual self.
Marc looks fantastic. Glad to finally see an HD image because now we can see the gold trim which is awesome. I like his little scarf, I love his tail, and somewhat unpopular opinion but I love his hair. I’m mixed on the shoes. They make sense, and I always prefer designs being heavily influenced by the animal traits over “this looks good”, so I can’t complain, but how is he gonna kick a soccer ball without wrecking it? I guess it’s a magic ball idk. Super important detail that I haven’t seen anyone talk about: is it just me, or does he have earrings in his left (our right) ear? If you zoom in, it looks like he does. Bunnyx twins? In the picture below, I noticed that his feathers aren’t flat to his chest like I previously thought.
There are four heroes whose animals have hooves, yet zero of them have hoof prints on the bottom of their shoes. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
What I want everyone to look at is the glimpse we have of Ivan’s back. I think his tool’s on there, but what is it? It’s pretty big. Big hammer? Musical instrument? Idk
One thing I do appreciate is that they didn’t go pussy mode with the horns. If the character designers were cowards, they could’ve easily given us Minotaurox and Caprikid with tiny stubs, but they did not, and for that I am grateful.
First glimpse of Marc’s tool. They changed it from a fountain pen type thing to a quill, but they way he’s holding it makes it look kinda like a combat knife lol. Like in Hack-San, when most of the kids got brainwashed by Robustus, Marc is one again standing in the middle and a bit in front of all the other side characters, and he’s the one speaking for them. This is some consistent new development since it happened twice, and it makes me wonder how important he’s going to become because he was so irrelevant in previous seasons, but he’s changed a lot in s4. I think he’s probably the “beloved character with a big role coming up, like more than this character has ever spoken before” that Ezra Weisz talked about once in a tik tok.
Sabrina looks way cuter in this image than in the trailer imo. Her suit is similar to her normal clothes in that 70s-like aesthetic. Another important thing that nobody’s talking about: is it just me or does she have glasses in this shot? Zoom in on her mask. It looks like she has frameless oval glasses, but I can’t tell if they’re there or not in the trailer shot. If I’m seeing what I think I’m seeing, I like them a lot. They’re cute, and it’s nice to see a girl with glasses not lose them for “aesthetic reasons”. The white part on her chest/belly is a heart aww. Her boots look like those tall schoolgirl type socks, and that plus the shorts, beret, and glasses has a huge vintage prep vibe.
I bet Ladybug is drawing out a game plan in this scene, but everyone’s expressions are so funny. Every single character could be a different reaction meme.
Last thing: I’m trying to imagine how Ladybug is going to give out all of these miraculous. We know the class starts all together, so it’d be tough to separate them all to individually give them miraculous in different locations later. On top of that, there are four more heroes in three other locations, and they’re probably all supposed to be in class right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t explain how they get busted out of class, but in Kuro Neko we see how collecting the miraculous from even four temp heroes is stressful and time consuming for Ladybug. Maybe this is the episode where she’ll start considering making more people/all of them permanent at some point, and maybe even considering that everyone knowing each other’s identities would make things way easier.
That’s all for now. I have no time, but I’m sooo tempted to draw the four of them in fashion inspired by their hero forms waking down the street “late with iced coffee”. I can see the designs in my head already. I hope to see fan art of all four of them, and I really hope the show will develop all of them at least a little this episode.

Gale Reviews: ML Season 4 Episode 24 Penalteam
(Spoilers below) Two episodes in 24 hours. I was a bit underwhelmed by Qilin. So Lets see what Penalteam brings to the table
-Kim and Marinette are Captains.
-Kim picked Max first then asked Markov who should he pick for the best chance of winning. (That is hilarious)
-Marinette picks alya
-Marinette points out Kim is cheating
-So Mr.Divia (idk how thats spelled.) He is gonna teach them soccer/Futbol
-I think the lesson for today is gonna be teamwork (call it a hunch)
-Alix suggesting Girls against boys. Which Kim points out they would lose again. Which a lot of people would take as the cliche of cartoons making girls better than boys but really... All of the girls except Chloé and Lila are CRAZY STRONG (rose is especially strong). And Aside from Kim and Adrien (and nino somewhat) none of the boys are really athletic. Ivan is big but he is slow.
-Nino throwing shade at Chloé.
-Nathaniel you a lazy bitch proving my point, I love you.
-Marc you are adorable little bean. boy gushing about Soccer. (I want to protect him
-So the coach is like a sports journalist. Marc would probably know about good writers. also 50 BUCKS SAYS THATS THE BABY DADDY
-Nathaniel making marc come up with an excuse for him. Dude... WHERE HAS NATHANIEL BEEN? I MISSED MY BOY
-Marc is pretty good at soccer (also he went over the top with that pass
-Marc getting some development.
-Sabrina is mad fast but then Chloé pulls the forbidden (listen to me card) And marinette encourages
-Ivan doesnt want to hurt anyone (cause he too stronk) Also i heard that cute nickname Myvan for LIFE
-GASP! Marinette found her self facing the perfect defence against her... ADRIEN.
-And Adrien doesnt know how to play soccer. Considering he litterally showed he can dribble and shoot in Furious Fu... Meh its. funny I will ignore it.
-NINO LOOKS SO BETRAYED
-Yo, That was some clever Play manuver (As a former soccer player i compliment Marinette's amazing Shot on goal.)
-And Lila is there but is on bench. As usual (also she never learned Lila's name) Marinette knows its bulls***
-Marinette's suggestion makes sense and Is a dig at Chloé
-WAIT... Is Chloe waiting to get akumatized?! OMG they really just said f*** all of that previous character development. But also using it to get out of class. Mood
-Oh look a reason for Mega akuma
-Chloé just like "Just do the thing already I know what you want."
-I really like the design of penalteam
-Chloé being next level petty (I am living for it
-Ms Bustier is like "Vengence isnt the answer" but like... isnt it though (jk) and she got red carded
-And Alya is out via slide tackle (which warps her out into a little ball)
-And Alix is out too... So no bunnyx
-Ooo, the more goals means less space
-Plagg hates soccer
-Ladybug is like "Me and Chat noir can kick your butt." But chat noir is fidgiting
-OH THAT WAS CLEVER OF CHLOÉ. Putting it so she cant be un akumatized.
-Chat noir whispering that he sucks at soccer. and Ladybug realizing (s*** we need reinforcements)
-The commenter is great
-Wtf was Luka, kagami and Zoe doing there? I get that marc took Nathaniel's place.
-Looks like they speed running the other miraculous holders
- Sabrina's power is called Fetch. PFFFFF (oh this will be useful in the finale)
-Sabrina is too much of a simp. Honey get a personality
-OHHHH. Marc has the cock Rooster. I was confused. okay neat.
-Wait she found nathaniel?!
-Ivan you sweet bean.
-"ITS NOT SPORT ANYMORE ITS ANIMAL ABUSE." Best line
-Okay so the announcer conveniently knows the old heroes.
-So new heroes. Miss Hound, Rooster bold (like booster gold i see you), Caprakid, and Minotaurox.
-Okay so now that I have seen the costumes. Rooster kid and Caprakid look cool
-Now i want a Miraculous Strikers game. GET ON THAT ZAG
-AND VIPERION IS DOWN! First one out.
-HOLY CRAP! CARAPACE GOT SMASHED THROUGH LIKE 4 BUILDINGS. CHAT NOIR WAS TAKING HITS LIKE THAT?!
-So now the field is all of Paris. Neat.
-Seriously giving me mario strikers vibes and I LOVE IT
-And Ryuuko is out.
-Man Ladybug really needs to learn about the lesson of the day
-CHAT NOIR OWN GOALED!!! AND HE LOOKED SO HAPPY. YOU STUPID CINNAMON ROLL. NEVER CHANGE
-And Pigella is down. They are getting their asses kicked
-12 to 0 at halftime. Really starting to feel like space jam
-Ladybug giving the team pep talk. She needed Mike's secret stuff
-YO!! THAT SHOT BY ROOSTER BOLD THO!
-And the game is tied up
-So minotaurox power is Called resistence. Which makes him immune to other powers. Like a charging bull. I expected it but it is very cool.
-And Penalteam cheated. What a surprise. (shadowmoth did say she could)
-"IM THE VILLAIN!" we get it thomas.
-And she red carded chat noir
-And now the game is on a 5 minute dead line
-Shadow moth is basically watching with popcorn
-And the Lucky charm.
-Oh so Ladybug's plan is really clever.
-And Caprikid can make any object he wants but its not magical. So its the exact opposite of Ladybug's lucky charm. Thats kind of situational AND a reference to evillustrator. AND IT HAS THE COOLEST NAME EVER! Genesis
-And they fooling her
-Sublimation. Basically the power to make a specific outcome occur. Thats a really cool power
-So this plan is really brilliant
-And DUCKIES!!!
-Shadowmoth is trying to calm her down
-Chloe just RAGE QUIT! Amazing
-And thats how ladybug and team wins
-Shadowmoth is salty
-And NATHANIEL JOINED THE GAME
-Oh and Lila-Chloe alliance. (welp. My fanfic was already outdated. so this doesnt matter) Risk now makes more sense
___________________________________________________________
Okay so I did feel the hero intros were rushed. But I was very entertained.
I wish they didnt bulk intro the other heroes. It feels like they got robbed. But I did enjoy the akuma and the set up.
The ending was also good.
The lesson of the day was obvious but that was expected. It was a lot more fun
8 out of 10.
If the other heroes were more fleshed out and Ivan and Sabrina were given more personality I feel like this would be higher.
