Y’all I missed this detail for so long: the split-second Félix realizes who’s in front of him, he throws his bag back into the bathroom!

I guess it’s not really anything major, but it’s kinda cool and funny to me that was able to think “Quick! Must hide the evidence!” and act on it so fast and make it barely noticeable. Cool character moment!

Im so in love with the narrative use of sentimonsters in ml???? And how it serves as a metaphor for parents who are Wrong??

You have Félix, who’s the most direct case of “parent thinks that having a child is like a little trophy and checkmark on the list and doesn’t want the child to actually be a person or exist or cause inconvenience.” His father literally didn’t see him as a person and based on the fact that he literally broke Félix’s miraculous he seemed to see Félix as either disposable or unbreakable. There was no sense that he needed to be loved or protected.

But then you also have Adrien, who Gabriel *theoretically* loves. I think Gabriel actually thinks that he loves Adrien as a person. But he has this idea that he can make Adrien happy through obedience alone. He thinks he can just order Adrien to be content or to have the same priorities as him. He calls Adrien melodramatic a few times even and it’s like???

Gabriel *theoretically* wants Adrien to be happy but it doesn’t cross his mind that it’s going to take more than him yelling “hey Adrien i order you to be calm and content.” And ordering Adrien to love the career Gabriel Chooses and love the girl Gabriel Chooses for him and the hobbies that Gabriel Chooses for him. And when that doesn’t work he decides that Adrien is just Beyond His Help and will be better only with his mom there.

And it’s like???? Very fun nuance with this idea of,,, you cannot yell or force someone into being happy,,, it doesn’t matter if you have their best interest in mind,,, if you never listen to what they actually want or see them as a human person then you’ll still be the villian in their story

And THEN!!!!! You have Kagami who’s a completely different case even though she starts with the same circumstance. Because Kagami IS treated like a person and has a good amount of autonomy. It’s just all Conditional. She can do whatever she wants with her life as long as its also exactly what her mother wants. And her mother doesn’t always explain why. And the thing with that is!!! It DOES work for a while!!!! She does trust her mother and actually talk to her about things. And she will defend her mother to the ends of the earth.

But all it takes is that One argument where kagami says “hey . please stop making me date adrien. i dont want to . its hurting me” and tomoe TAKES HER RING instead of listening. And its like. Thats IT.

It doesnt matter if you spent years making a foundation of trust in a relationship because Eventually your kid is Going to grow up and theyre Going to disagree with you on Something Eventually. Kagami was so ready to listen to whatever her mother had to say but her mom didn’t elaborate on anything she just basically said “okay if you wont listen without question you dont get to have autonomy” and of COURSE kagami’s gonna be like. Okay. Bye then.

And i just think it’s soooo cool how there’s these different Layers of “parents forgetting that their child is a person and not a tool for your own personal gain” and that ml shows how it can manifest in so many different ways and it shows that it messes ,up trust and relationships and then it also shows that the kids are all okay once they have love and support and someone who treats them as a person with autonomy

and theres this theme of “it is not too much to ask that you be treated like a human person . no matter how broken or how much of a disappointment you think you are. you are still in the right for demanding to be seen as a person.” And i just. I really love my senti kids i love them soooo much

this show really said “it doesnt matter what sacrifices your parents made for you, youll never be an object that they own” and i just,,, yessssss

So, something I've noticed re watching the series. Adrien seems to be different from Felix and Kagami, in that he seems to physically be a normal person.

In his debut episode Felix shows feats of agility and strength way beyond the limits of a human.

He’s able to take on three Akumatizsed people, all of whom are dangerous in their own way and he seems to wipe the floor with them easily.

Same with Kagami. She always thrashes Adrien when they fence. Adrien has been established as a skilled person, but she always wins. Always. and from Kagami’s comments she seems to win rather easily. Maybe it’s just her being cocky?

No.

This bitch cut down a tree, with a wooden sword! A pretty thick one too!

So here’s my question.

If Adrien is a Sentimonster like Felix and Kagami are. Why is he the only one without superpowers?

I wonder if Felix might turn ultra protective of Kagami in front of LB and CN in particular. Like they wouldn’t wanna advertise she’s a senti anyway but I can see him begging her not to let the two heroes of Paris in particular find out. Maybe Kagami tries to reassure him that they can be trusted but he shakes his head because all he can see is years of snaps and sun spots and senti lives going to waste while all he could do was watch

ooh yes anon you're onto something!!

like sure felix has nothing against adrien and marinette, but he has every reason the mistrust lb & cn. they have killed sentis & been lauded as heroes for it! meanwhile kagami points out that ladynoir couldn't have known and that if they just talk to them, ladynoir can be a force for good to save senti lives. bc they're good. they are heroes. they care and show mercy, and kagami knows that better than most having once been ryuko.

i miiiight make a fic out of this 👀 a one-shot at the very least 👀👀👀

Day 2: twins

“Just like twins, the two of them don’t you think so too?”

Felix grows up with these words, ever since childhood, they follow him everywhere whenever he and Adrien are seen together, and they’re seen together often. Amelie and Emilie are always together despite living in different countries. They would never allow things like growing up or distance put a wedge between them. It would only make sense that their children always play together. Felix never minds the comparison much, it simply intrigues him. He knows that he and Adrien are cousins but no one he knows looks this much like their cousins so he wonders why he and Adrien are alike. Felix prides himself on being smart; Aunt Emilie calls him curious and encourages him to always ask questions and try to find the answer to them. So Felix does his research and finally puts meaning to the label that follows him and Adrien

Twin noun /twIn/ : One of two children born at the same time to the same mother

It makes sense in hindsight. The Graham de Vanily sisters are close, when two young girls joint by the hip and two adult mothers, sharing everything with each other. It makes sense to his young mind that they’d share their children as well.

He doesn’t mind having Adrien as a cousin nor as a twin really. The Graham the Vanily sisters are as close when adults as they once were children. Felix can only hope that he and Adrien can follow their example.

***

“Do it again, do it again!” Adrien insists and Felix smiles at his enthusiasm.

“Okay, but this is the last time.” It’s a lie and they both know it, he’d gladly perform magic tricks for Adrien until the time he leaves if asked. Magic tricks are something that fascinate Felix, all the spectacle of the performers, the awed looks of the watchers are amazing but what he really likes are the secret mechanisms that makes people believe something extraordinary is happening.; a shortcut to actual magic. So you can imagine his excitement when his father told him he’d start teaching him a few. He takes another tied rope and holds it up so that Adrien can see it. Then with utmost care, folds the rope unto itself in a way that the there are two nots interloped with each other and he covers the second one with his fingers so that Adrien doesn’t see it. He takes the scissors and cuts the rope and puts it in his mouth, it’s something both for distraction and suspense and so he can hide the cut piece of rope under his tongue. When he takes the rest of the rope out of his mouth, it looks like the rope is restored.

“Wow!” Adrien’s mouth forms and O. “How do you do it?”

Felix smiles. “That’s for me to know. Your job is to be dazzled. ”

Adrien pouts. “You said you’d teach me!”

“If you beat me at chess.” Felix reminds him of their deal. It’s a good deal because he knows he’d win. Adrien is always too quick, so quick that he acts without thinking. His moves are always shortsighted.

Adrien folds his arms. “It’s not fair though. You’re so good!” Felix sits a little bit straighter at the compliment. “And I don’t have anyone to practice with…”

Seeing Adrien upset is always tedious. He looks like a cat that had his milk taken away and is now looking at you with big, bulging, shining eyes. Felix can never deal with cats, so he needs to fix it. “Hey, how about we pull a trick on your gorilla?”

Adrien’s eyes start shining like emerald. His horrid chess skills and unlearned magic tricks forgotten. He’s always up for playing with Felix, especially when they’re up for ‘mischief’ as his mother calls it. Felix can always count on him on that department.

“Yeah!” He stumbles into his feet. “Let’s do it!”

See? Adrien’s the best.

“Alright then, we’ll have to fix your hair.” He starts tousling Adrien’s hair in an effort to straighten it up. Adrien makes an annoyed noise and tries to get away from under his arms but Felix’s other arm holds him tightly. Felix has to stop himself from laughing. It’s a game the two of them always play and the real pride comes when they manage to not get fooled into getting tricked.

“Ah! Felix, Let me go? Why can’t we just mess up your hair? ”

“Because yours is easier.” Felix lies. Their hair is as similar as it can get, it would take the same amount of effort into making it look like the other’s, which is not much to begin with. They can change it up to look like each other’s with a sweep of their hand. Felix’s exaggerated movements may be just a little bit intentional.

“No it’s not! Let go of me! Ah Felix! I hate you…”

And he can’t hold back his laughter anymore. “No, you don’t.”

***

Emilie Agreste nee Graham de Vanily (and Felix always thought her maiden name fitted her much better.) is an image of perfection, with a fountain of golden her, a rosy smile and a symmetrical face, a face that’s currently trying its best to not distort in a fit of laughter. Her presence is like sugar in the air. She looks completely out of place besides-

“I cannot believe the two of you thought this was funny.” Uncle Gabriel says, voice flat with disinterest and face twisted into an ugly grimace while simultaneously betraying no. It’s a paradox and really an interesting one considering that he didn’t even care enough to realize he’d been spending the entire weekend with his wife’s nephew (It’s Aunt Emilie that figures it out.). It doesn’t surprise him though. The man never spends time with the two of them, not in any way that matters, at best he joins them at dinner, and that’s only due to Aunt Emilie’s insistence.

Felix only raises a brow at his uncle’s question, his lips curling into a smile; just to see what Uncle Gabriel’s reaction would be. The man’s frown deepens and somehow he still looks like a wooden scarecrow. Sometimes, Felix wonders if Uncle Gabriel can emote at all.

“It was a little funny though, wasn’t it dear?” Aunt Emilie gives out her bell like laugh.

“No, my love,” Times like this, are the only moments that Felix is convinced Uncle is human (He still looks ugly though.) “I thought it was juvenile and irresponsible.”

Ire rises within Felix and he opens his mouth but then the doors open. He straightens up and looks back to see his parents and a very bashful Adrien enter. His mother hugs him while Aunt Emilie does the same with her son (a second round of bell like laughter escapes her.) Felix’s attention is on his father though. The man is looking down on him and he looks mad and impressed at the same time. It’s another Paradox, but unlike Uncle Gabriel’s, this is something Felix has to live with everyday.

“Do not ever do it again.” Uncle Gabriel says and he may seem worried but Felix knows better. He’s just upset that he’s been fooled. If he really cared about Adrien, he wouldn’t ruin his and Aunt Emilie’s chance of spending Christmas with their extended family just because he couldn’t leave his stupid work. If he cared, he would have noticed something was amiss with his supposed son.

Adrien, the poor dumb dear just looks happy his father is hugging him.

Once they’re in the car his father looks at him from the rearview mirror. “Whose idea was it?”

Felix bites the inside of his cheeks in trepidation. His father doesn’t wait for a response. “Of course it was you. Adrien would never come up with things like this.”

Something ugly twists in his guts. It was true but not quiet. The idea was theirs. Adrien really wanted to spend the holidays in London, and the solution was easy really, Felix never minded spending more time with his aunt, so it would be a win-win situation. But saying any of this, defending himself by saying this was more for Adrien’s sake would be useless.

Instead, he turns to his mother. “He never even suspected anything.” Because what other thing could he do then changing the subject. “Uncle Gabriel. He wasn’t even around enough to notice. Aunt Emilie figured it out. He’s horrible.”

Father snorts and mother makes a noise of disapproval. “Felix!”

“What? He is! Aunt Emilie deserves better.”

Mother hums. “Well… my sister deserves the very best in the world and Gabriel… isn’t it. So you’re right about that, but I don’t think horrible is the right word here.”

Felix doesn’t acknowledge her answer; instead, he looks at the window, avoiding both of their eyes.

***

His father looks at him like a raptor judging its prey. Felix stares back unflinchingly. Father sighs and hands him back the second place kung fu medal. “You need to do better Felix.”

“I will.”

Father eyes him with doubt and that hurts more than his chiding. “I head Adrien has gotten first place in junior fencing competition.”

Well that’s what Uncle Gabriel wanted and obeying him is Adrien’s only personality. He doesn’t say it, mother says things like this are cruel; he can’t help but think them though.

“I will do better.” He insists.

Father smiles and Felix is thrown into another paradox. “Don’t think that I’m not proud of you, I am. You trained hard. I just want you to reach your full potential. Believe me Felix, you will need it one day. You need to be strong. You are fragile-” There he goes. He always acts like Felix is one step away from breaking, Felix never feels more made from marble than these moments. “You are not like everyone else Felix, one day, I won’t be here and you’ll have to take care of yourself.” He kneels down and cups Felix’s cheeks. “I can’t stand the thought of something happening to you. Your mother would be devastated.”

Felix’s chest tightens. He doesn’t have many people he cares about, people he knows he loves without any doubts and other than Adrien and Aunt Emilie, mother is the most important one, the center of his world. The thought of anything upsetting her makes his stomach churn; even though, he knows how nonsensical it is. He isn’t in any danger, he isn’t fragile, his father never explains what he means by these words.

Felix feels guilty anyway.

And guilt is one destructive force, one that Felix always tries to avoid it. The best way, really is to stay away from situations that would warrant it.

So he promises with all of his conviction that he’d get first place next time.

“I know you will.” Father smiles. “Now come on. I’ll teach you that card trick you always wanted to learn.”

***

“He should go outside more.” He hears mother say.

“He’s fine honey.” Father replies. “He and Adrien are very close.”

“Adrien lives in Paris!”

“And yet he’s the only one that he needs. Believe me honey. Adrien’s the only one that can ever understand him.”

Now there is some truths to his father’s words. Him and Adrien are close and Adrien is the only one Felix can call friend, he likes it this way, him and Adrien are different of course, they were family, twins even (Felix is even more sure about it as he gets older). It’s not the same as friends who aren’t family and he knows it. He never felt the need for friendships like that though. He’s always been invited to play dates and as he grows up to parties but he never grasps why. He never gets what makes those events fun, the entire time he feels like observing a herd of animals through a window, trying to understand how he’s supposed to act like them and why.

So yes, his father is right; but it stills niggles at very uncomfortable places within him. Adrien’s the only person that can ever understand him. What does father even mean by that? That there’s something so fundamentally wrong with Felix that only Adrien can tolerate him? Take him in chunk size bites?

***

“He’s not coming?” Felix’s features are schooled (a thing his father always insists on) but within him is a bubbling rage. “It’s your birthday!” Technically, it’s their birthday, but he doesn’t expect Uncle Gabriel to care about that detail.

“It’s okay Felix. I’m alright.” Felix can barely stop himself from scoffing. He’s even angrier and he’s confused to why, at his uncle for refusing to leave his stupid, ugly office for one day? At Adrien’s horrible lying skills? He cannot even hide how upset he is!

“It’s nothing really.” Adrien reassures him. “Mom’s… she’s been having this dizzy spells. He’s really worried.”

Felix can’t stop himself from rolling his eyes this time. “Aunt Emilie is the sick one and she’s here.”

“Still… He tries to tell me that it’s nothing.” More like not telling you anything. “But I know he’s worried. He probably needs to be alone. I’m alright Felix really.”

And Felix is really mad now. Why? He doesn’t know. It shouldn’t bother him but it does. The fact that Adrien just never tries to talk to his father. He’s always willing to make excuses for everything and everyone. A single excuse and he turns to mush. And this is the guy he’s always being compared to?

Or maybe that he can forgive at all. He’s like a blinding sun, the kind that everyone can bask in its glory. Felix cannot stand his light, so natural that he can’t hope to copy it authentically.

“Boys, come down! It’s pictures time!”

It’s Aunt Emilie’s idea. Pull a double twin. They don’t say it of course but anyone looking would mistake them for two generations of twins and this is the point really.

When it’s all done his eyes trail his aunt. Her skin is a little bit paler and she stands for shorter periods of times. Something in him curdles like spoilt milk.

She caresses his hair. “You’ve grown so much.” It’s all flattery and kindness; he’s just as tall as Adrien. “You and Adrien, you should take care of each other.”

And as much as he avoids Adrien’s light he covets the same light in hers. As much as he hates it, he can’t hate Adrien for it, not fully. How can he when he knows where Adrien gets it from?

When they go back upstairs he tells Adrien to grab a deck of cards. “I’ll teach you a trick.”

“No way! You never teach your tricks to anyone.”

“I’m only doing it because it’s your birthday and you’re my favorite cousin.”

“I’m your only cousin.” Adrien frowns.

“That automatically makes you my favorite.” He smirks.

He basks in the light of these happy moments, knowing that once he gets home he’ll live under the shadow Adrien always casts and he’ll start hating it all over again.

***

Sometimes Felix feels like he’s preparing for a battle that will never come. He doesn’t know what it will entail. His father is preparing him and there’s no routine that Felix can attach himself to, no pattern that will tell him where it all leads. He doesn’t know what his father is trying to accomplish and he hates it. He hates not knowing things.

Father is always there for him. He cherishes it. Especially knowing the alternative, he’s very familiar with it from simply knowing Adrein. His father is always there for him and mother. But that doesn’t mean some things don’t hit too close to home. His father is someone who can adore Felix’s whole existence and allow his disappointment and disapproval to seep into every interaction he has with his son.

He teaches Felix how to speak, how to mince his words and pay attention to politeness. He teaches him how to have a nerve of steel and a clinical eye, how to predict how cruel people will think and act, to always expect such cruelty.

He teaches Felix how to tie a tie and to always look presentable, to look for what people would want to look at.

He encourages him to take as many sport classes as humanly possible, sometimes even participating in the act of teaching himself. He teaches Felix how to always, always hit a target.

And each time whenever Felix questions him, he uses Adrien’s name like a whip, worst of all, he talks about mother, don’t disappoint mother and how can Felix come up with an answer for that? For the shame that comes with even the idea o upsetting her?

More importantly-

***

There they’re again, Felix always finds himself in this position, and yet he never learns. His answer to disapproval is lashing out and doubling down. Mother says that father can stop him from getting into mischief; the truth is that he simply gets better at it. Why does he get better at it?

It’s because, most importantly-

Father looks at Felix whose holding a basketball ball. His expression looks quiet irritated, probably because he specifically forbid Felix from making any noises, he is suffering from horrible headaches recently. Felix isn’t afraid of course, he knows father won’t hurt him but something tells him to just run away, because father is planning something. It’s game time again.

Father gives one last glance at Felix and starts walking toward a table. He picks up a vase that belongs to mother and then lets it go. It shatters on the floor. “Now Felix, why’d you do such a thing? You need to be careful.”

Felix can only stare at him dumbly. “But I- I didn’t break it. You just-”

“Maybe, maybe not. You are always playing basketball, aren’t you? Sometimes even in places you’re not supposed to. Maybe you decided to do it here and accidentally broke it. No one would be surprised if you did. Your mom wouldn’t if I told her. I’d only describe a plausible scenario.”

He stands there, basking in Felix’s dumbfounded expression. Slowly, he smiles, lips stretching to bare his teeth. This kind of smiles are different than the ones he gives mother, or Felix when he’s happy. This one serves a more animalistic function of reminding others of the teeth ready rip into all of their weak spots. The way he looked at Felix almost made him believe that he broke mother’s vase, so much so that he felt a tinge of guilt over it, which is probably the point. It’s something he shares with Uncle Gabriel. They really love their children guilty. Something in that shame pleased them immensely. In another life, they might have made great inquisitors for the church.

The moment ends when Father just laughs. “And this, is how you lie Felix. You take most of the truth.”

Felix cannot even spare enough energy to be confused. “What about the vase?”

“Oh, don’t think about it. It’s gabby’s gift. She hates it. She’ll be grateful it’s gone.” Felix slowly learns to hate that sincere tone his father has, so genuine (so much like Adrien) that it loops back into mocking. Felix can’t stay enraged though. He’s just grateful

-Most importantly, his father teaches him how to lie.

***

Aunt Emilie gets sicker, until she’s bedridden. But it’s not some mysterious sickness that takes her away. She just… disappears.

There’s a search, the police look for every nook and cranny.

Mother worries, she cries herself to sleep.

Father paces around the house like a madman, he seems even more worried.

The search finally stops. Uncle Gabriel decides to hold a public funeral.

He stays the entire day next to Adrien. If anyone looks at them thoroughly, they would seem like two mannequins, or two mirrors. Felix finds it fascinating actually. Adrien and Felix might be mistaken as twins, they have a whole game of pretending to be each other that would make others think that maybe the two of them are just so similar that it comes easy for them. That’s the thoughts of someone who only looks at them in a superficial manner. The two of them have enough different characteristics that would definitely make them distinguishable.

And yet…

And yet, at the day of the funeral, they are absolutely similar; two copies. They’re emptied enough that they simply resemble two voids bouncing off of each other.

***

Father’s death is slow and unexpected at the same time. He just collapses one day and is taken to the hospital the same day.

Three weeks later he dies.

It should be what rattles him to the core but it’s not.

It’s the conversation they have in the hospital on father’s last day. He speaks to mother, gives her his ‘I love you’s, and everything a dying man should. Then he calls for Felix to enter the room and Felix thinks about how unprepared he is for this goodbye.

He’s far less prepared for what he actually says.

A lot of people come to talk to Felix in father’s funeral; all of them probably wondering about Felix’s dry eyes and vacant stare. He doesn’t look like he’s in mourning. He looks confused; they say. Oh leave him be! Sometimes shock and grief manifest this way, sometimes; others would answer.

They’d all be right.

They’d all be wrong.

The thing is, Felix actually believes his father. He’s not unfamiliar with magic and super powers. Super heroes with powers are a dime a dozen in New York. So the idea about magic jewelry that can create life out of thin air isn’t so farfetched.

It doesn’t mean that the whole thing doesn’t make Felix’s brain crumble into itself.

He looks at the word twin. The word looks back.

Felix spends the following days in his room, trying to fight the sickness in his mouth.

His mother is an absolute unit. She holds strong, radiating such sweetness and strength it makes you drunk just being around her. Felix meanwhile, feels his mind cannibalizing itself each time he thinks about his father, his aunt and uncle and Adrien.

God, Adrien.

His father is gone now. And with him is the whisper of Adrien’s shadow coming to shame him.

He feels rage bubble inside of him. He thinks of Adrien and all he can think of is the word twins, twin boys, twin rings that can control them like puppets and he wants to gouge his own eyes.

He doesn’t hate Adrien though. Not completely. Not in the way he sometimes hates his father with a burning, consuming passion; his father who wielded guilt and shame like a weapon so effectively in his game that Felix slowly learnt not to feel it just to stay sane. The shame is still there but now it takes a new form. Instead of measuring against Adrien, he has to measure against some unknown standard and entity that made one human. The game begins again, play your part Felix, maybe if you try hard enough, you’ll convince the world that you aren’t a freak, you’ll convince them to value you in the vague way your father cherished you. The game is on and Felix needs to learn how to play.

The only good thing, is that some things become clear real fast. It’s no wonder now, that his father always acted like Felix is a china doll, on the verge of breaking.

He wonders if his father preferred to have ended up with his other twin; the more obedient one; the one that could be shaped into the perfect statue more easily and would be easier to protect.

It’s the final nail to his sanity.

***

He visits Adrien on the anniversary of Aunt Emilie’s disappearance. He is determined and on a mission: A ring and a brooch.

He doesn’t expect all of his rage to come back the moment he lays eyes on his twin. He isn’t even looking at Adrien. He’s only able to see a silhouette. The same silhouette that was empty on his father’s funeral. All he sees is Adrien standing straight and graceful like a dainty marble statue instead of buckling under the weight of his own existence like Felix is. He tells Felix that his father is overprotective and that’s why he was absent for the funeral and Felix wants to shake him until everything within him spills out and he’s laying there raw. He cannot believe him. Adrien has been playing this game of survival and shame alongside Felix ever since birth. How could you not when you’re a Sentimonster, and he still doesn’t know how to play the game properly. Just like the way he plays chess, his moves are crude. He can’t still lie properly either, Felix bets.

A very silent part of him tells him he’s being unreasonable. He shouldn’t expect anything different. But it’s easier to stay angry at his twin then tell him the truth and let him carry the weight with him. His rage is like a wound that he can’t stop scratching; a pain that is still more preferable than the itch of healing.

He leaves the house with one of his wanted objects gained.

He gives the ring to his mother. It’s not like she can use it. She wants in anyway. It’s now them against the world. The only person whom he knows he cares about more than anything else.

He wonders when Adrien quietly slipped off the list.

You and Adrien, you should take care of each other.

***

In the meantime, he researches Sentimonsters obsessively.

He watches the Alya girl’s ladyblog, looking for any article and video.

Two butterflys, a pink giant doll, two lollipop men, a blue blob that just eats Paris’s heroes that one time, a ladybug doppelganger that makes his stomach betray him and his breakfast to make a comeback , a giant eye, and a big yellow and black gorilla.

They hunt him. His dreams are filled with colors and bleak. His uncle snaps a finger and he disappears into thin air. Ladybug grabs at his cheeks in search for his amok and his cheeks comes off like he’s made off play dough.

He attaches photos of each and everyone on his wall and promises to never forget. His shame simply transforms into hatred to the world. To Every single human being that makes him question his own worth.

***

He visits again and has his worst fears confirmed. His uncle has no qualm about killing him in an instant.

Also he’s hawkmoth.

It’s a secondary thought.

***

His third visit ever since the revelation is the most vital.

He takes Adrien’s place and by pure luck is given the perfect opportunity for striking a deal that would guarantee his survival.

Three giant golems join his collection of nightmares. They drag him into the sun as they float down.

***

Duusu has a never ending energy; changes moods faster than Felix can hit a target and has a bell like laugh.

Felix absolutely adores him.

The Kwami takes on everything as if it’s his first time in the world of humans and Felix can’t blame him. The poor creature had to tolerate his uncle’s company and for years. That would give everyone brain damage. Duusu is well adjusted, all things considered.

“So,” He cradles the Kwami in his hands, said Kwami munching on almonds. “Which one of them do you think we should create first?”

Duusu takes one look at the wall, decorated with photos of all the Sentimonsters discarded by his uncle or Paris’s heroes and squeals in delight.

***

He looks at Adrien crouched down on his carpet, his face is the face of someone who’s tasting vomit in their mouth. He punches his own chest as if to punch the air out of himself.

Felix looks at the photo; the one from their birthday with their mothers. Aunt Emilie looks alive, as if she might wink, or frown which is the more likely scenario.

Tell me I did the right thing. Felix doesn’t regret making the deal with Hawkmoth; doesn’t feel shame. Shame is a fatal poison he isn’t willing to take. But he needs to know that she would approve. Tell me you would think one of us should have it. You always loved us. You’d want us safe from your husband and Paris’s so called heroes.

Aunt Emilie’s picture doesn’t speak to him but his memory does. Take care of each other.

He puts a hand on Adrien’s shoulder. They’re tangled together; have been since birth, Conjoined twins in everything but physical aspects. It doesn’t matter if they like it. They’re in this together.

It might be his imagination but Aunt Emilie’s eyes shine in the picture.

Crazy conspiracy Rich kid Senti-Theory:

I know I posted about it before but I cannot find the original one now, so here we go anyways.

Like the others, Adrien is able to be manipulated via the relevant jewelry.

However, from the letter of his name, he was the first. It is highly possible that he isn’t alone, since we know Felix is for sure. Notably, Chloé, Felix, Kagami, and Xavier-Yves were also at his father’s weird party.

After all we saw in Season 4, Tomoe’s walking stick, Audrey’s necklace, and Bob Roth’s necklace or ring are all looking a little suspect right now.

It also might explain why Andre struggles to do more than coddle to get Chloé to behave...

Now, I can’t help but notice how many letters from the alphabet are missing from the list there. There were a bunch of other adults at Gabriel’s secret backroom masquerade.

What is five Senti children is actually the lowest possible estimate?

I feel like the sentimonster theory is in this limbo of confirmation or denial.

Agreed.

And I don't know why they're doing this.

Is it because the plot has to progress slowly and ease into the truth at snail speed? Or are they milking it?

I think I can say most of the fandom now doesn't have a doubt that Felix is a Senti, and we've seen pretty strong confirmations that Adrien and Kagami are too, especially after Emotion, where Felix treats them as equals.

But there are still some unanswered questions that make no sense, like: Why 2 rings for Adrien? Why does Gabriel have to remind him that he's his father in order to have him fulfill an order, or why doesn't he have a telepathic connection with his 'son'?

And I feel like even more questions started to arise now that Kagami is in play.

... I just hope we won't have to wait for more seasons so the canon can finally admit it in our faces that they are all, indeed, Sentis.

Or even worse - keep the whole thing in limbo permanently.

Analyzing THE RINGS leitmotif in MLB

I believe we all know how vital the rings are in miraculous ladybug. This leitmotif has been going around since the beginning of the series and I thought that we should all take a look at the following:

First of all, let's define this term: "leitmotif"

The recurrent theme is a ring... or should I say, the rings, in plural. Leitmotifs DON'T refer to only ONE recurrent theme. This theme can evolve throughout the events of the "musical or literary composition". And what I mean by evolving, is that it can "transform" itself. in the end, the meaning of the initial leitmotif will change. And this depicts a TRANSFORMATION in a story arc, the DEVELOPMENT of a specific character, etc. Let's analyze all the rings in the series and theorize a bit!

1. Adrien's ring = his Miraculous

In the beginning: It is a ring that can give a person superpowers. With it, Adrien transforms into Chat Noir: Not only a superhero, but an alter-ego Adrien has grown to be comfortable in. What I mean by this, is that since S1 Adrien has been acting freely as Chat Noir: "His true self."

Throughout the series: Let's correct a few things said, and add a few more ideas...

Let's correct what I've said before when I stated that "Chat Noir" is Adrien's true self. That's what Adrien used to believe, but in Kuro Neko (S4), he got proven otherwise by Plagg. Basically, Plagg told Adrien that he IS a mix of ADRIEN AND CHAT NOIR. So, "this ring" has showcased a positive change in Adrien's arc in Kuro Neko. Thanks to becoming Cat Walker, Adrien learned that he is a mix of both Adrien and Chat Noir: he got to understand himself better and be more confident in his personality.

In Ephemeral, we'll see that after his identity reveal to Ladybug, he fully embraced "both personalities" and started acting like Chat Noir being Adrien. All in All, although Adrien got to realize who he actually is in Kuro Neko, once he is able to fully embrace both personalities, (without secret identities in between) he'll finally start acting like himself. Per se, The culmination of this "arc".

Another thing to add is whenever Adrien starts to embrace his true personality (polite, rebellious, charming, funny, etc, in short, adrien+chatnoir) we will begin to see changes in the decisions that he will make. For example, in Wishmaker (S4), we've seen that Adrien wants to be whatever his parents want him to be. One of the reasons why he's a model. However, after the events in Kuro Neko, where he accepts that he's both Adrien and Chat Noir, plus Marinette's help, Adrien tells his father that he doesn't want to be a model anymore. Which goes against his dream in Wishmaker. Adrien is finally letting himself do what he wants to do. He's finally being himself.

BUT LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT S3 episode titled "Chat Blanc": In this ep, Chat Noir's power which was meant to be used for good, got used for evil thanks to Hawk Moth's manipulation. There's a negative development arc showcased here. And since Marinette has been forever traumatized by this alternate timeline, and currently believes that if their identities eventually get revealed, Chat Noir WILL turn into Chat Blanc... well, this shows us that depending on the course this show takes, Chat Noir may become Chat Blanc again. This means Chat Noir's arc can turn into a negative change arc easily. And MLB is known for foreshadowing, and in the recent events in Jubilation, we've seen Chat Noir going rogue and ALMOST CATACLYSMING DARK OWL BECAUSE HE WAS ANGRY!! Plus, we've seen Chat Noir going rogue on several occasions before: breaking down a wall in Sentibubbler w/ his cataclysm because of his anger toward Ladybug, etc. All this shows us how Adrien's behavior COULD lead toward this negative change arc. WHICH IS A POSSIBILITY. (And you may ask yourselves about DESTRUCTION, an episode in which Chat Noir was SO traumatized because he cataclysmed Monarch. In my opinion, that was because HE WASN'T ANGRY/GOING ROGUE AT THAT MOMENT! HE WAS BEING RATIONAL!) In conclusion: Adrien's ring, thanks to the events in Chat Blanc, could depict a turn in Adrien's positive arc into a negative change arc... BUT something MUST TRIGGER THIS TURN. Either Adrien getting manipulated, controlled, etc. He must go rogue so that his positive arc changes into a negative one.

Oh and never forget that Adrien's power means DESTRUCTION. He could "destroy" his positive arc and change it into a negative change arc. What do you think? I may be looking too far into it though.

2) The Graham de Vanily Rings

In the beginning: Well, these rings are Emilie's and Gabriel's marriage rings. However, we've learned that these rings actually belong to the Graham de Vanily family, a.k.a Emilie's family. That's why Amelie wants them back, in Felix (S3)

Throughout the show: However, we know that Felix wants the rings in both "Felix" (S3) and "Gabriel Agreste" (S4). We don't know why he wants them. We've made theories about that reason, which I'm going to address because I do believe in them:

The sentimonster theory: A sentimonster is supposed to obey their creator, IF THE CREATOR POSSESSES THE OBJECT WITH WHICH THEY'VE BEEN CREATED. The theory says that Emilie has created Adrien, and since she used the broken peacock miraculous, that's why she "disappeared" (died) and lies currently in Gabriel's basement. In Evolution (S4) we see how Gabriel asks her if SHE'S READY, and gives her the peacock miraculous. This could mean, that THAT was the day Adrien was created, using one of the Graham de Vanily Rings. That's why in Ephemeral (S4) we see how Gabriel controls Adrien by touching the ring. Although he did not create Adrien, he possesses the Ring with which Adrien WAS created, meaning, he can control him to his will.

But what about Felix? Well: There are two rings. Twin rings. Adrien was created with ONE RING and Felix WITH THE OTHER ONE. However... Did Emilie create both Felix and Adrien? I don't think so, since Amelie is Felix' mother. However, we DO KNOW that Felix' father DIED. BUT following the theory, Felix has always searched for the Graham de Vanily rings because supposedly, one of them could control HIM. So, how could his father create him and then die and not possess the ring with which he created his son? So this could mean, Emilie created both???? Neither do I know. We still need more information about this.

However, we do know that these rings are related to two things: creation and alliance. (because those rings tied Emilie and Gabriel together in marriage.) See where I'm going next?

3. Alliance. The rings created by the Agreste's & Tsurugi's

Interesting, how Gabriel decided to design these artifacts and name them. These are RINGS called ALLIANCE'S.

And their premise is: "The ties that bind us are precious. Unique. They can all be found inside a Jewel. [...] Bringing you closer together." (Gabriel Agreste in Multiplication S5)

And their meaning is easy to analyze: These are rings that tie the Parisian population together in an "alliance".

Although they've been made to sorta "transfer" the miraculous powers through them, it's quite interesting that they're called Alliances and how they are related to Monarch.

4. The Miraculouses are now RINGS.

As I previously said, Gabriel created the Alliance's to "transfer" the Miraculous power into them.

These two facts led me to think about something: The Alliances tie the Parisian population together. Monarch can akumatize them whenever he wants, just like in Catalyst & Mayura (S2). So: He can create another supervillain army that's gonna be way stronger THANKS TO THE ALLIANCES, WHICH WILL GRANT THE VILLAINS THE MIRACULOUSES POWERS!

Plus, these rings actually tell us a lot about Gabriel's development arc and inner want. Someone whose apparent initial want was to revive his wife and that he would go beyond his human limits to do so. However, his want got twisted because the power granted by the miraculous' blinded his senses. We saw this in Evolution (S4): Gabriel "would do anything to bring Emilie back" but didn't use the opportunity to give his past self a Pendrive with the necessary information to repair the peacock. Instead, he wants LB&CN miraculous, no matter what it takes: He wants more power. That's his inner want now, (camouflaged by his will to bring Emilie back, too.) The reason why he created the Alliances + melted the miraculous into rings.

Now, let's tie all these "rings" together in order to comprehend this leitmotif better:

Adrien's ring symbolizes many things, like the power of destruction, and his struggle to embrace his personality: who he really is.

The Graham de Vanily Rings mean alliance (in marriage), creation and control (sentimonsters)

The Alliances tie the Parisians together. They're allies (and they don't know that they're actually Monarch's allies)

Monarch's miraculouses. He's got their power and can use them to his will.

All in all, all these rings mean one thing: POWER. The power of destruction. The power of controlling a sentimonster or a group of people. Having the power of the miraculous and being able to transfer their power into other rings. This is wild. Plus, isn't it interesting how Adrien was created "by a ring", and gets controlled by it? ... But he possesses a ring too, which grants him the power of destruction? This is why this leitmotif is so important!

Power can be used for good or bad. You can't let it fall into the wrong hands. Gabriel got blinded by the miraculous' power and turned into the psychopath we know. In Chat Blanc (S3) Adrien got manipulated into using his power for evil and ended up destroying the world. Which can happen again, if he goes rogue, or if he gets manipulated again. However, if he uses his power for good, this won't happen.

This led me to think another thing: I believe that all miraculers once asked themselves what Emilie saw in Gabriel. How she could fall in love with such a psycho. One answer would be: she's a psycho like him. BUT. What if Gabriel was a sweet bean just like Adrien in the past? What if this TRIGGER=Emilie dying was what turned his positive arc into a negative one? I believe that this is true. And since we've analyzed the same thing in Adrien... what if in the seasom finale sth happens to Marinette/LB and Adrien must take a huge decision? Will he succumb into evil to bring her back? Which means, will he do everything for her? And, let me tell you sth: he will do so. He would even die for her. We've seen that in Gamer 2.0 (S3). What if Gabriel's story is meant to happen again? In a cycle? The Agreste turning evil. His partner disappearing/losing her memory (bcause Mari is the guardian!!)

I'm sure there's way more to this leitmotif. But this is what I came up with until now. I hope you liked this and thanks for reading!

So I was thinking about the sentimonster theory, right. And then I realized some of the differences between Chat Blanc and (I forgot the episode name >~<) but the other episode where Adrien gets akumatized.

In Chat Blanc, Chat never actually gives up his miraculous. He fights his father so much, that he ends up destroying everything instead of making a decision between Ladybug and his father. However, in the other episode when he’s akumatized, he immediately gives up his ring, and gets akumatized as Adrien instead of Chat Noir. He still fights it, hesitating when he goes after Marinette, but not fighting back any where near as much with Chat Blanc.

The key difference between the two? Right after Chat Blanc we have the episode Felix (or at least that’s how it’s ordered on Netflix and this theory falls apart if Felix is actually supposed to come first >~<). What happens in the episode Felix? Of course Felix comes pretends to be Adrien, gets Adriens friends akumatized, teams up with Hawkmoth, but most importantly right now, snatches Gabriels wedding ring. Forcing Gabriel to grab his wife’s ring instead. Now why would this be important. Because if Adrien really is a sentimonster than I would assume his object would be his mothers ring, meaning that the second him he was akumatized, not only was he fighting the power of the akuma and his negative emotions, but also the power of his sentimonster object (idk what they’re called tbh)

If we want to say that Felix is a sentimonster as well, I would assume either his object is something else entirely, or Gabriel’s ring, which explains why he wanted to get that one so bad. It also explains why he could trick Gabriel so bad the second time (taking Adriens place on the trip) compared to the first time when he was immediately spotted (tho that could also be contributed to the fact that Felix was supposed to be there the first time, so Gabriel was on the look out, while the second was a surprise visit)

Miraculous AU where Gabriel is a little a lot more messed up, and when Felix comes around in s3 and takes the wedding ring, instead of just letting him go he, as Hawkmoth, goes to London after him, gets his own ring back (which is technically Adrien’s), but also takes Felix’s amok (maybe even brings Mayura with him to do the about-to-snap thing to make sure he can’t fight back at all), and forces him back to Paris where he’ll use the (still broken) Peacock miraculous instead of Natalie because he just really hates Felix and doesn’t care if he dies from using it and therefore is willing to make him create more frequent sentis than Natalie did in s3 canon. “You wanted the Peacock didn’t you? Well now you got exactly what you wanted.” And this will all be under the guise of Felix spending more time with his cousin to “improve himself” because of how he likes to cause trouble or whatever.

(This could be paired with an Enemies AU where Adrien is already being forced to be a villain with the Cat with his amok, but could also just be as is.)

Bonus: Felix would actually end up improving himself by spending more time with Adrien and being dragged along to hang out with Adrien’s friends (cough, Feligami, cough)
