Sometimes It Works Itself Out

By: the-coffee-fandom

Art here

Marinette really could not take any more bullshit. Honestly. She might punch the next person that comes by if they try and say something dumb to her.

Here she was on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Well, the anniversary of such anyway. The anniversary of what she was told was the best day of her life. But even though she was told as such, it never felt that way to her.

Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with a million flowers, a cake too big for all your guests to eat, surrounded by everyone you love and cherish, and with the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with. Your chest is bursting with joy and the smile can’t be contained nor wiped off your face, the birds feel like they are singing love songs far into the night. Everything is perfect. That’s how she always thought it was.

That’s what she thought she had with Adrien. She didn’t realize that her vows were hollow in his heart and his eyes were always on another.

Even if that other was technically still her.

Ladybug felt like a different entity to Marinette. She was strong, confident, and powerful. Marinette had a semblance of that still within her day to day life, but not to the degree that Adrien Agreste had fallen for. He was in love with a hero, not with a human.

Maybe that’s why she wasn’t upset when she found out about his crush on another. She watched as his eyes drifted over to him whenever they hung out together. She saw the hearts in his eyes, felt the quickening of his heartbeat, and heard the stutter of his breath. It was so clear that he had moved on now that he had grown up and realized his fantasy of marrying the mask of what she used to be wasn’t the life he was meant for.

She was in a light pink dress, cherry blossoms decorated the ends of it. If she twirled her dress would flare out and circle her. She liked her dresses like that. She knew her maskera had begun running down her cheeks, black streaks decorating her face like rain drops on a window. She felt it deep in her soul that this was definitely the right thing to do. Not just for her partner, but for her as well. Moving on is hard but it's right.

So she finished the last of the papers making it official, and walked out of the room now a single woman again.

She paid no mind to the blonde that tried calling after her. She didn’t need to hear a thousand more apologies, empty words falling past his lips trying to fix the pieces of a relationship that was never meant to be. Her heart hurt and she didn’t need him to see her break down.

She threw open the doors and stepped into the cool breeze of the outdoors. It was almost a slap in the face how bright and beautiful everything was. It was a painful reminder of her own wedding day. So filled with warmth and love and laughter. Everything and everyone but her.

She lifted her eyes from the concrete and they met with azure blue eyes that were filled with a sympathy and understanding beyond what she thought she deserved.

“Hey.”

Marinette let one side of her lips perk up into a half sort of smile.

“Hey,” she responded back softly.

“I thought you could use a ride?” She used her head to nod sideways towards the purple mini behind her.

“My knight and shining armor.”

The blonde smiled and chuckled, “I am dashing enough to be one.”

“You keep telling yourself that,” Marinette shoved her shoulder, her smile becoming genuine.

“I will,” the other girls voice followed as she walked around the back of the car to get to the passenger side.

She stopped short when she saw what her friend had done.

“Really, Steph?”

The amused tone of her voice showed that she wasn’t actually upset.

“Yeah, I thought we could head out to celebrate being single.”

“Because that’s something to celebrate now is it?”

Stephanie punched her lightly in the arm, “duh! Single people have the most fun. Everyone knows that!”

“Sure,” Marinette rolled her eyes with a giggle as she moved to climb into the car.

Steph joined her, taking her space in the driver's seat and looking over at her. Her eyes sparkled in the midday sun and her hair blew lightly in the calm breeze. She looked like an angel.

“Is that for me?” Marinette joked, pointing at the coffee sitting in the cup holders.

“It is!” She beamed brightly.

Marinette’s heart, for the first time, today felt lighter.

“Is this really all for me?”

Steph looked at her, her eyes softening and her shoulders relaxing, “of course. If you ever need me, I’ll be right here for you.”

Marinette nodded, blinking back more tears.

“Where to?”

Marinette tilted her head slightly in thought.

“Nowhere,” she decided on.

“Nowhere it is!” Her friend called out excitedly.

The music was cranked up to full blast as the windows were brought down so they were completely open. The blonde driving sped up to ten above the speed limit and they were off to who knows where.

And for once, Marinette decided she was fine with the unknown. Maybe things don’t work out the way she had planned but she was here and she will live in the moment.

Her eyes trailed back to the girl beside her, singing at the top of her lungs to a song that wasn’t even that good while her hair blew widely in the wind. Her music tastes were adequate at best. But she was goofy and fun and beautiful and…

And maybe, this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

She was with the person she wanted to spend her life with now. And that’s enough.

emilie agreste and rose quartz.. the same

I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME

#the. what's that one post about characters who aren't in the story but are in every part of the story #the way emilie and rose are both so revered in their narratives #and leave such a gaping hole #i find stories about the absence of someone so interesting #ive spent so long trying to decide how i would characterize emilie if I were ever to write her #and eventually I made a list of things that adrien is that he got from his dad and things that adrien is that he definitely did NOT #get from his dad #and then i decided to attribute THOSE things to my perception of emilie #and I love the idea of borrowing from rose quartz's complex of becoming whatever the people around her wanted her to be #so that they all elevated her but had different ideas about who she actually was #& how she was actually so deeply insecure and doubtful about who she really was #that she decided to leave #very emilie to me.#think a lot about how adrien impulsively reflects what people want from him #(he's a mirrorball girl if you get what I mean)#and how he's just so universally adored #how he doesn't have a strong sense of self because he is always performing just as much as he is experiencing.#his expression of self is always at least somewhat impacted by who's around him and what they want or expect from him #and he didn't get that from gabe. gabe doesn't model that at all.#so I think it would be interesting if he got it from emilie #because she WAS universally adored. the same way adrien is.#look at what she did to adrien. to nathalie. to gabe. everyone who knew her loved her so completely #but she's also someone who would leave them all behind #I think that emilie taught adrien the idea of self-sacrifice as an expression of love. I think she taught him how to hate yourself #and be loved by everyone else #I think emilie messed him up too.#anyway YES tumblr user mari-monsta. yes I do think about that #ml #anna rambles #thirteen

No, no I don't think I will "get over" this shows poorly veiled misogyny lol.

#ml salt #Adrien has always been the “female love interest” character who gets nothing substantial of his own #this is really obvious in Volpina: where Adrien's golden ticket to see Foo is usurped from him and given to Marinette through plot bs #Marinette is rewarded for Adrien defying his father. Adrien knows he will be punished for breaking into the safe but does it anyway because #the book is clearly filled with important miraculous info. Suddenly the fandom cries out:#but Adrien couldnt keep the book because hes too girly - i mean too feminine- I MEAN too stupid to figure out a good place to hide this boo #yeah okay listen if this show actually gave a single fuck about making him anything more than a female LI type of character #they would have come up with a way to make sure Gabriel couldnt take the book from him. he could have given it to Nino or something since #theyre ya know. friends. and Nino hates Gabriel so hed be cool with Adrien stealing from him.#something something people need to stop appying outside logic as for why characters behave a specific way #because the job of the writer is to clearly convey why characters do (x) thing

Will forever stand by the fact Chloe deserved a lot better.

Obviously her bullying was bad and Marinette doesnt have to forgive her and shouldnt.

But holy shit, how do you show a young girl desperately trying to get her shitty mothers approval, showing she cares for her friends and even asks her mother WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME? and then we have another child who knows nothing about having shitty parents, tell her she needs to act like her shitty mom to be accepted ?? (No salt towards Marinette, but idk why they have her speaking up for abused kids and caring more about them than their fuckin parents)

Suddenly shes just irredeemable?? Even more so than the grown ass terrorist?? Seriously?? And not to mention, shoe horning in her random blank slate sister?? Same name, same age (which means Audrey fucking cheated but..no ones gonna talk about that??)

Its..just so annoying. Zoe is literally just Marinette with extra steps, shes just there to be another nice girl to push Adrien and Marinette further ??

Sabrina is right there?? Like..imagine if she got to have an arc away from Chloe?? CMON.

Just ughhhh.

#chloe bourgeois #j.p speaks #this is a Alya Chloe and Adrien stan acc idc #miraculous ladybug #mlb salt #its just #her character arc couldve been interesting #instead of this 14 yr old girls is the DEVIL #but the literal terrorist is just a man who loves too much #INSANE decision

im probably never going to get into miraculous but i truly think jack and adrien could bond over being objectively interesting characters who are constantly reduced to cannon fodder slash prize money for another character because the writing sucks and the fandom sucks harder

#and having an evil dad And having a constant conflict of being distrusted for a reason he’s never given #and having world ending powers and going crazy at some point #And is also an unnatural human with a dead (?) mom #i got all this from a video essay okay I promise #cal.txt #spn #supernatural #jack kline #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #adrien agreste #chat noir #and also they both deserved to be villains idgaf 🫡🫡#but heavy on being objectively interesting and shelved anyways because i am still so incredibly sick and tired of the spn fandom #i love my little circle of friends who understand jack but i do not love that it’s limited to a little circle do you understand

I’ve slowly been catching up with miraculous ladybug after like 6 years of not interacting with it, and why is my girl Mari doomed by the narrative. She was going through enough she doesn’t need this

#miraculous ladybug #ml marinette #I’ve been catching up via wiki and fan blogs #I refuse to watch it after I stopped watching it years ago #look is mari kinda cringe? yeah.#but she’s also like fucking 14. all 14 year olds are cringe #not sure what age she is now cause I’m not convinced they’ve aged in the show #but she was going through a lot in the first season or so I watched #why is she going through more??? let her have a fucking break #I also really like that there’s way more shipping options now #I used to be a marichat truther #cause I think mari deserves to be badass as a hero and CIVILLIAN #And I thought Adrian with the chat freedom was way funner #insane to find out they got a cannon kiss tho. I was not a respected person in the fandom for a shipping them #but the options now are great #I’m not a big chat/adrien fan because I don’t think he’s super fun or interesting (personally. I get that he is like. objectively)#and Chloe x mari was like. very uncommon #love being a multi shipper tho. I love assholes/guys who are just way less badass than their gf #also. love kagagami #luka kagami way more platonic fics #it’s brill #Felix even if I’m going really obscure #feralnette au #my beloved. let her be a fucking badass. let it physically show how much she’s went through it #POLY SHIPs you guys have gotten fucking great in the last 5 years. glad to be a content consumer for u again #aimeespeaks

#i'm fine i just have depression and chronic issues and i have decided to stop forcing myself to post when i am not well #disappearances are probably just part of my brand at this point #me coming back from the dead once again #miraculous ladybug #the oc is named raven romero renato he's so bbygirl #he's got anxiety but he's also an adrenaline junkie which makes a terrible terrible combination.#of course he's given a miraculous and this just makes it so much worse #he's a coyote btw #and like a model n shit but who cares about that. show me this man vigilante-ing #(i am making them actual vigilantes not just responding to akuma attacks)#(i'm also aging them up because... 14 year old superheroes.......... insert throwing up emoji)#he also has trauma ofc hes my oc but it's also kind of a crackfic #if you couldn't tell his love interest is adrien #and maybe a little luka but idk. they might just be besties instead #marinette will be severely less creepy and things will overall be changed to fit my headcanons. cope.

If you don't like marinette then you don't support women's wrongs and you also can't handle a gorlboss slaying sorry I dont make the rules

#im sick and yuck and im comprehensible #but what this post actually means is that if youve started to dislike marinette because of her flaws and mistakes #then something something characters can have flaws and that doesnt mean theyre suddenly terrible irredeemable characters #flaws make them realistic and more human and dynamic and interesting #i feel like so maby ML fans jumped ship after the characters proved they were imperfect and thats just. sad #goes for adrien too #i love them both BECAUSE theyre a little fucked up #whats important is they are a little fucked up and selfish sometimes but they always at least TRY to do good #they try their best #people try their best and they cant always be perfect #thats how life it. it makes them real. i like real #anyway im sick and yelling into the void #theyre flawed but they CARE and they try to be better and thats what i love about them.#they deserve each other because they deserve to be with someone who wwabts to be with them and who they want to be with #and they deserve each other because they will both put in the work to deserve each other and be together #and AGAIN thats what matters

I truly wonder if there will be a season 5 heart break scene where Ladybug will learn that Chat Noir Loves another girl...

Look at me forgetting to answer that ask and...well...Exaltation happened so 🥲

#ask #anon #tbh i would have answered you something like 'this is very likely to happen' 🥲#well she doesn't exactly learn he loves another girl but that he 'osn't in love with ladybug anymore'#& unlike adrien who goes 'marinette can love me again then!!' she goes 'oh guess i've missed my chance then' 😔#it's very interesting how different their reactions are to unrequited love!!#ml spoilers #exaltation #exaltation spoilers #ladynoir

i finally watched mlb's derision episode and. okay yeah the writing in this season REALLY stepped up?? i like how it retroactively made the previous seasons slightly better with the context it gave about marinette's PTSD, like i've been dying to see what the fuck chloe did to make marinette's life so awful and now we got like a small glimpse of it ITS VERY NICE ?????? LIKE. FINALLY

i still HATE how chloe is been turned to this cartoon supervillain girl though lmfao. good on adrien and sabrina for finally seeing her true colors but like....................thats not the og chloe................... not to me...........

she did have the best line of dialogue, when adrien told her "you only think of yourself" aND SHE JUST WENT "WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT?????" SHES SO FUCKING FUNNY EVEN WHEN SHES BEING FLANDERIZED BY THE WRITERS GUYS

also shoutout to rose and mylene for roasting the shit out of chloe like. "dont be mad at [her], shes like this because her mom left her when she was little" and "SO DID MINE BUT YOU DONT SEE ME BULLYING MARINETTE"

#i love whats happening rn in the show #but this is not the real chloe to me sorry </3 #the real chloe cherished sabrina and adrien bc they were the only ppl who saw she was a real person #i wouldve liked if they kept THAT side of her and also continued trying to make her a villain #you already have lila for some fucking unapologetically evil antagonist #and gabriel is going down the corruption arc of becoming on too #why not keep chloe as a villain that you can sympathize with......................................................................#they did it for 4 seasons with gabriel's entire ouguhhh my dead wife ouughhh drama #why cant a rich blonde entitled spoiled girl have feelings sometimes #look i need an outlet to talk abt my interests #i cant talk abt anything i like with anyone bc no one gives a shit #so tumblr it is <3

... The way i know these alternate versions of Adrien and Marinette are going to have a healthier relationship than the originals, but theyre gonna try framing it as a bad thing because they're "EEEVIL."

They're going to have open and honest communication with each other [since it looks like they're still choosing to work together as a team] and Claw Noir is gonna display some form of agency in his actions but the writers will be like "NO, this isnt good! Adrien can't have any agency of his own because he's too emotional and he exists just to be a pretty prize Marinette wins after defeating the villain."

#ml special #this show is so fucking funny bc it expects you to see it as a character driven story but its entirely protagonist-centric #when it comes to its morals and story structure #also it believes every teenage girl who doesnt like Marinette is an irredeemable monster but a man who terrorizes an entire city #and his family is capable of being redeemed. It is insane how this show tries to push itself as progressive but it's riddled with #misogyny. Treating Adrien like every single female love interest that has ever existed in action cartoons isnt progressive #idk why ppl think it is lol. The show is basically saying Adriens “girly” qualities are a problem and the reason why he has no agency #in his own story #like it immediately made me think about how women are denied humanity because men claim we are too emotional to make #rational choices for ourselves or others like they can #Also I cant believe Gabriel was able to go to heaven with his wife despite all the child abuse and terrorism.

Will never approve Plagg wantin to cataclysm Chloe over Zoe.

Ever.

Will never approve Zoe having the cat miraculous and being important despite not actually doin shit to earn it and get anyone to care about her.

I hate how this shows message is. If you have shitty parents, you ALWAYS have to be nice and if you arent youre the literal devil, and worse than actual abusive parents fuck you.

#j.p speaks #as someone whos fucking mean and wants to lash out frequently this is ANNOYING #not everyone wants to be nice!!!#obviously dont be a bully. but holy shit #sometimes people want to lash out #not everyone can be a nice ass saint #some people are ANGRY and should be allowed to feel angry idc #miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers #zoe salt #chloe bougeois #ml writing salt #zoe isnt special shes literally like everyone else #painfully nice but ig shes??? also good at lying??#female adrien goes crazy.#but adrien is more interesting and weve actually spent enough time with him to care and love him #so callin Zoe that does him a disservice #this is an anti zoe acc always idc

Honestly I think my take on the "Chat Noir was not there in the final battle" comes down to the fact that I kind of just don't think a satisfying final battle between Chat Noir and Monarch was actually possible.

I read a lot of fic, for example, and I've read the scenario play out a lot of times in a ton of ways and I've never been fully convinced of it tbh (and not because they weren't great fic!!). It seems just completely traumatic for Adrien in a way that the scenario inherently cannot properly focus on, because it's all happening in the middle of an action scene and Adrien is too busy being Mid-Battle to properly have a cathartic breakdown about it all. I mean, Chat Blanc already showed us what would happen if he did have a breakdown mid-battle (and why wouldn't he?). And though it'd be fun to have a big triumphant moment of him defeating his abusive father, Adrien simply isn't a character who would find that scenario triumphant, or cathartic, or anything other than viscerally traumatic.

Also, I agree that it's unfair that Chat Noir was not present— like it was unfairly tilted in Ladybug's favor— but I don't think it'd be fair if he was present, either. Because Marinette is, in fact, the main character. The main character whose character arc is primarily focused on her finding her footing as a hero and discovering all the responsibilities that come with that power (as opposed to Adrien, whose character arc is moreso about freedom and identity). And let's face it, in a fight between Ladybug and Chat Noir and Monarch, nobody would be focused on Ladybug at all. It's not about her. It's not her fight. She'd just be there as moral support and an extra set of hands, which really doesn't work for her character arc at all and is completely unfair to her!

Basically, it would just be Chat Noir temporarily acting as the main character and having the worst time of his life in the most un-cathartic battle for him possible left completely traumatized with Ladybug in the background awkwardly trying to comfort him after the fact? And then the season ends? And then the next season presumably goes back to Ladybug being the main character? After a time-skip to the new school year? It's just an ending that I feel like is a lot better in theory than actually on paper. And you can probably make an argument for ways that it could be made to work, where it would enhance Ladybug's story in a meaningful way where she still feels like the main character, and would somehow be triumphant for Chat Noir despite it probably being the worst moment of his life, and somehow not make the rest of the series following feel like bonus content as opposed to a continuation of the story...... but, I dunno. I think it's a lot easier said than done.

The fact of the matter is, I've always been waaayyyy more interested in how the aftermath of Gabriel's defeat affects Adrien than the battle itself. Post-Hawkmoth defeat is one of my favorite types of fic for a reason, and it's because the aftermath can be so juicy, especially for Adrien as a character. I think whether or not Adrien is actually there in the battle itself has always been kind of irrelevant to me, because no matter how Gabriel is defeated, his defeat will have immense repercussions on Adrien's life going forward. And the way they did it, Marinette is now a part of it in a more active way, too. Which is good for her character!

( Also, if he was there to triumphantly defeat Gabriel, would that mean he would just.... watch his father die? of cataclysm? a-and.... nathalie would just.... die, too? so he'd have three dead parents after all that? who he watched all die (or, in emilie's case, saw her corpse)? or is this a scenario where MONARCH BEATS CHAT NOIR and still makes the wish? is that cathartic? for Adrien to lose to Gabriel? Frankly, I loved seeing Gimmi and The Wish, it's been teased for so long that I was expecting it, and I loved the fact that Nathalie got to live as her narrative reward for coming to her senses and trying to murder Gabriel with a crossbow. I like that we got to watch a full season of Gabriel painfully dying to a cataclysm— poetically inflicted on him by Adrien, but of Gabriel's own doing. I like that Nathalie has presumably adopted Adrien after having an arc of her trying to be a parent to him once she realized nobody else would, that's so much more interesting than any other alternative. I just don't see how all of these things, some of my favorite things that season 5 gave, can still all exist at once with Chat Noir present in the final battle in any way that's satisfying. )

one thing i really love about miraculous ladybug is that marinette’s attractiveness is a non-factor. in fics, authors often describe her as being pretty or beautiful, and certainly her character model is made to fit within modern beauty standards, but in the show, it’s almost totally unremarked upon. it’s irrelevant. we hear how attractive adrien is all the time, both from people who are interested in him and people who aren’t. but marinette? almost nothing. she’s not pretty, she’s not ugly, she’s just marinette.

when marinette’s beauty is remarked upon, it’s entirely in the context of her being romantically desirable. for example, adrien’s poem to her in dark cupid or the subtext in heart hunter.

and even then, while her love interests find her attractive, it’s made clear that is not why they’re interested in her.

marinette might be pretty. she might be average. she might be stunning. but time and time again, we are told that isn’t what matters about her. and i think that’s really cool.
