(random s5 finale musings) tbh I don't think Marinette chose to keep The Secrets™ from Adrien because Gabriel asked her to. I feel like Marinette keeping secrets like that is so consistent with her character; she hates giving people bad news, she hates rocking the boat, she hates upsetting people, she always chooses to keep any 'controversial' information to herself for as long as she can get away with (examples: bubbler scarf, telling Queen Bee she was benched, confessing to Adrien, warning Chat Noir about Scarabella or Rena Furtive, never told Chat Noir about Chat Blanc, etc) that I just totally believe she would've done it either way. She was even already having nightmares about Adrien hating her for finding out she defeated his father, so I feel like Gabriel's request was moreso giving her a go-ahead than it was a primary deciding factor, yknow?
it’s nothing it’s nothing… I JUST THINK IT’S FUNNY HOW while the peacock miraculous was broken gabriel didn’t touch it and despite expressing guilt about nathalie falling ill he still let HER be the one to use it whenever the peacock’s power was ‘needed’ for gabe’s plan that day. he never once offered to wear it in her place.
but the second the miraculous gets fixed? oh no nathalie is no longer necessary, turns out gabriel CAN wear the peacock miraculous now and he’s going to use it for the rest of the season in conjunction with the butterfly miraculous to make himself stronger.
and this is NOT salt, i actually love that this specific writing choice just further proves something about gabriel’s character; he may feel guilty about it afterward, but he will not hesitate to put his loved ones in harm’s way for his own personal gain.
Marinette stood and wandered to the gallery. She pursed her lips, observing each frame thoughtfully.
“Ugh, you’re too photogenic,” she lamented, spinning around with her hands on her hips. “How can toddlers be photogenic?”
“Is my lady jealous?” Adrien grinned, sauntering towards her.
“Kids are supposed to be sticky and goofy.”
“Are they?” he asked playfully. “In that case, I can’t wait to see your embarrassing baby pictures.”
Marinette’s eyes narrowed. “Never in a million years, Chaton.”
“Tough luck.” Adrien crossed his arms. “Sabine invited me over already.”
“Wait,” her eyebrows raised. “To what, exactly?”
He paused. “Dinner?”
I commissioned @marskiiii to create the gorgeous adrienette asset for the new banner. They were so wonderful! Please check their work out.
Love how the collective has agreed that multiverse/alt Adrien/Chat is practically identical to our Adrien, but remains committed to the emo bit out of love for Toxinelle
Waiting for Adrien's design to drop feels like sitting at the emergency waiting room in the hospital panicking because your wife just went into labor in the middle of the night and you have no idea what is happening
Ladybug: Your suit???? It's...incredible. I just...is that your first?
Toxinelle: Obviously.
Ladybug: Wow, that's...it took me a while to figure out how to—
Toxinelle: Skill issue, lol.
Ladybug:
