Can Adrien Agreste Be Happy For ONE FUCKING EPISODE

About what you say about communication, I also think that Marinette had a bad role model in Fu in how the miraculous should be handled (though Fu didn't get the tools to deal with it when he was the guardian and there were traumatic experiences since young, but still not a good role model). And I wouldn't say Adrien has very good role models. It's a good thing he at least made some friends cause...

This is what makes the show unique. There are no perfect role models and that the stereotypical rules that heroes have to abide to can cause more harm than good.

Fu wasn't fit to be a guardian from the start and his mistakes and fear made him overprotective and overbearing with the rules and secrecy. He's not a bad person and as you've mentioned, was traumatised too (hell he was still alive during the world wars lol).

Su-Han has potential to be a good role model but we know very little of him and we haven't seen him since Furious Fu. Though, I believe that he can help out with alleviating Marinette's guardian duties.

Adrien's only good role models so far are his friends which has its downsides because they're children and make plenty of mistakes- especially Ladybug. He still has her on a pedestal and believes that she can't do no wrong when in actuality, her biggest blunder right now is keeping him 100% in the dark because she's scared of getting him akumatised again (when she's unaware that it's not her fault). Plus, it doesn't help that he has trouble expressing negative emotions due to being brought up in a way that makes him mask his own emotions.

These idiots need to talk. Fear and secrecy is just in the way. Once they do get the miscommunications out of the way, they will be unstoppable.

realization ™

Not people saying Adrien “lost all character development by the end of the episode” 💀 When are people going to realize losing their feelings for their original love interests is NOT character development and doesn’t resolve anything lmao. There’s nothing wrong with them being in love. This is a romance series ffs. Enough of that “reverse the lovesquare” bs

They need to learn how to HANDLE their feelings. They need to learn how to be themselves around their crushes. They need to be the ones to take initiative to overcome their personal barriers and show their crushes who they really are. That’s character development. 

Y’all, Adrien literally experienced THE most important character development in regards to the romance plot. Hearing Marinette’s confession about how she acts around her crush, and how she thought her crush was stuck up and pretentious before she realized how kind and genuine and sensitive he could be and fell for him, made Adrien finally realize what’s been holding him back. Adrien finally realized he needs to stop playing casanova and crossing Ladybug’s boundaries and just be himself - i.e. kind, genuine, and sensitive - to have a chance at Ladybug returning his feelings. This means Ladybug is finally going to be able to see ADRIEN shine through Chat Noir.

Recall Origins, where Marinette realized she was wrong in what she initially thought of Adrien after he opened up to her about how new he is to school and friendship, and she fell in love with him after seeing his kindness and vulnerability.

Now we’re moving towards that repeating with Ladynoir - and this time Ladybug will see Chat Noir’s vulnerabilities. We’re now closer than ever to not only having Ladybug realize her feelings for Chat Noir, but also to her eventually learning and coming to terms with his identity, which is something she hasn’t considered at all thus far, unlike how Adrien has already thought about Marinette being Ladybug. And given how it’s been foreshadowed all season, I’ve been betting on Ladybug learning Chat Noir’s identity by the end of this season — whether it happens this season or later, this is a big step in warming her up to seeing the resemblance before it happens.

Adrien realized he has to be genuine and vulnerable with Ladybug if he wants any chance of her truly loving him. THAT’S HUGE. That’s the realization he’s been needing to make for three and a half seasons. That’s the realization Kagami was trying to get him to make in the art room scene back in Lies -

That even when he’s being silly he’s still playing a character and not being genuine. He wears the mask of a perfect dutiful son as Adrien. He doesn’t stop wearing a mask as Chat Noir – he puts on a different one. One where he can ignore and hide all his vulnerabilities and loneliness and solely play the part of the charming, funny Cat-sanova with superpowers. Just because it’s a character he LIKES playing doesn’t make it any less of a character. He wasn’t ready to come that realization then, but he’s done it now.

And what did he do in the very next ep that comes after this one?

He was vulnerable and honest with her about his feelings. He opened up about how terrified he is of losing her, of being abandoned. It can’t have been easy given what we know about what happened with his mother, and you can see that it wasn’t easy for him – his voice wavers and he curls in on himself and looks away from her. But it worked, and it brought her closer to him – both literally with her hand on his, and emotionally, by softening her up to him more and helping her understand him a bit better and finally allowing her to give him heartfelt reassurance.

DEADEST INSIDE SHES EVER LOOKED WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

Hate how the show just never addresses that even though the entire hero squad got there identities revealed, ladybug still gave them their miraculous back even though she explicitly said that she can’t give them back…
