Ml London Spoilers - Tumblr Posts

am I the only one who can't watch Miraculous the same way anymore after the London special? like I can't even think about Miraculous without feeling a wave of sadness hit me in the face.

I was trying to watch Origins, then re-watch the whole show, just to enjoy the old animation one last time. but I just couldn't.

all I saw was Marinette's numb expression as she walked through the hallway. Adrien's cries as he grieved his father. Gabriel's wish ruining everything.

it's not the same anymore, and it never will. that's how I know they nailed it with this special.

when I got to the part when Marinette renounced Tikki, all I could think about was that current timeline!Marinette would be there to fetch the earrings, and that Tikki knew everything from the start. and whenever Adrien was on screen, I thought about how sad he would become soon. he still had that sassy humor and all, but it disappeared over time. I had forgotten how snarky he used to be...

I am both excited and terrified of the upcoming season. let's hope it's a good one.

so I'm both excited and mad about the special and what this means for season 6. on one hand, I love a good conflict, an angsty plot point. I love that the characters have flaws in this show, especially a main character. and I also love that the special doesn't try to convince the audience that what Maribug did was a good thing, it let's you decide for yourself. I personally think it was a bad decision, but that's what I love about it.

and at the same time, I'm angry. because HOW is this show going to survive if the main character did something so awful? Marinette is COVERING UP FOR THE VILLAIN WHO'S ALSO HER BOYFRIEND'S ABUSER. she is covering everything up and turning it into a good thing in Adrien's eyes. she's twisting all the abuse into something good, making Gabriel seem like a hero he never was and never will be. and I honestly don't know how the writers are going to pull this off, like how can Adrien EVER forgive or trust her again? it's not realistic and not a good message to the YOUNG and impressionable audience. Marinette did something awful. She had good intentions, and the reason why she lied is because she didn't want to hurt Adrien, but it was awful regardless. she didn't consider what ADRIEN would want, she failed to consider his autonomy.

I don't understand how the lovesquare is supposed to keep sailing like this, in this weather. because right now, what Adrien would need is to get away from Marinette. for his own well-being. not because Marinette is being toxic on purpose or anything, but that it's just the way it is. because all the blame is on her at this point. sure, she had all this responsibility just dumped on her without regard for her mental health, how much of it she could take. everyone just expects her to solve everything without giving her any support at all. (Kagami, Felix, Su-Han) so I understand where she is mentally, it's not at all surprising that she made that decision to lie. but all her turmoil can't excuse it. (I actually think Nathalie should've stepped in and steered Maribug in the right direction, bc she is the only adult here. but alas)

so I'm genuinely scared for what's to come. I won't accept Adrien to be treated this way, and I wish for a healthy and acceptable resolution for this plot point.

if I had any say in what this would've looked like, it would be that Marinette crumbles at some point, choosing to tell Adrien the truth herself. she sits him down somewhere private and reveals her identity, so he could get all the context. she tells him about his conception, the reason why his mother passed away. how Gabriel was Hawkmoth, and his motives and how Nathalie was involved in it. about the final fight and the wish that was made. y'know, the whole truth.

and I want Adrien to be mad. I want him to be furious. that's his damn right. (maybe Chat Blanc 2.0?) and I want him to ask for space, so he could process and think things through. (no break up bc that would break me as well)

he'll probably be thinking for some time, maybe a few weeks, then he'll come to Marinette when he's ready to talk more and come to a conclusion and what to do next in their relationship (and also what to say to the public)

that would be my preferred outcome, I guess. Marinette having to slowly build back everything she'd ruined between them in some way. and then happily ever after blah blah blah

Adrinette hug

Do you think Adrien sees himself in this new image he has of his father—in the way Chat Noir always sacrifices himself for Ladybug and the greater good, and now he believes his father has done the same? Giving his life so that Ladybug can live, so that Monarch would be destroyed?

do you ever think about. every single moment where marinette must feel guilty about keeping the truth from adrien. every time he says something about his father and she has to paste on a smile and convince herself she's doing the right thing. every time he comes close to losing his amoks because he doesn't realize how important they are. how it must have dawned on her at some point that gabriel CONTROLLED his son. and why is she protecting the monster that did that

how her love for adrien is somehow keeping her silent and alone. how she didn't even tell alya the truth

all the times she must come so CLOSE to telling him, but then talks herself out of it?

do you ever think about all those feelings making her want to explode?

"well if I went through a harrowingly traumatic experience that involved being viciously attacked and watching two of my boyfriend's parents die and seeing the corpse of his third, i would feel completely comfortable telling him that his dead dad and extra parent were evil terrorists and also that he's been mind controlled his entire life and his existence is a lie and he's not even human. all on top of breaking the news to him that he’s been orphaned. at age 14"

speak for yourself man i can't even make phone calls

Oh, look, another reason to hate Adrienette as if I didn’t have enough already

anyone else feel like this or is just nathalie and me

An amazing woman, respect.

Natalie has done a lot wrong in her life, but you gotta respect how she was on the brink of death and could barely stand, but grabbed a freaking crossbow to murder her boss/ex-crush. Then she nearly/actually dies, but she wakes up perfectly healthy for reasons she doesn’t yet understand, and her first thought is: “I gotta murder my boss again.”

What a woman.

this leads to Adrien thinking Nathalie is a somewhat retired ghost hunter

sleep well

and as she SHOULD

I love that the first thing Nathalie does when she's got her health back is grab that crossbow and try to kill Gabriel again 😂
