#but i do NOT want to hear anyone saying 'why cant movie gabe be show gabe??'

Something about people saying that movie!gabe is better than show!gabe because he "cares about adrien" rubs me the wrong way because… show!adrien is very clearly a victim of abuse that has obviously been going on for a while, i'd guess even before emilie's death. You don't get a boy as terribly afraid of his father without him being some form of abused, and that's the whole point of his story. like, if gabe cared about adrien, then adrien wouldn't be the adrien we know, he'd be movie!adrien. It works for the movie but would never ever work for the show. Show!Adrien's entire arc and character basis is about overcoming his abuse, so to take that away from him feels… gross, to me. idk!

#conveniently is also why i didn't like the movie #they took everything that made adrien interesting and just. stripped it from him. #I was never going to be a fan of a gabe redemption because to do so is to obliterate adrien's character #and yes i say this as a gabriel simp and a huge gabenath shipper. those are like aus to me and should never be canon #and NO. i dont want to hear your emilie apologism. argue with the wall!!!! #she gives off enabler vibes but thats me speculating we know nothing about her #i gotta admit though. when movie!gabe says 'my little boy' my soul gets CRUSHED. so well done keith #honestly that line saves it for me #so. if you can separate movie adrien and show adrien. it's fine. #but i do NOT want to hear anyone saying 'why cant movie gabe be show gabe??' #show gabriel is a controlling manipulating bastard. he is heartless. that is the point. #indiposts #anyway just my take on this #ml #adrien #gabriel #miraculous
