Carapace when he had to work together with Chat Noir again in the finale:

“We were in love.”

What do you think about Ladybug and Chat Noir's partnership in season 4 so far?

I'm not actually watching season 4 until all the episodes are out in English and I can liveblog it with my bro. However, based on some of the stuff I've seen in other people's posts, I'll say that 'Kwamibuster' seems to be coming to bite our main characters in the ass. The episode where every other character insisted to Marinette that she could definitely not trust Cat Noir is clearly behind Marinette refusing to even tell Cat Noir that their team has three full-time members now, because the lesson Marinette took away from 'Kwamibuster' was that she can't keep anyone in the loop and the less Cat Noir knows the better it is for everyone.

Like, I noticed that Marinette was being set up to take after Fu in episodes like 'Backwarder' and 'Feast', but I mostly thought it was going to be about her dragging her feet in solving her love life issues by going "duty first". However, in addition to that Marinette really is taking after Fu in the worst possible ways in that she just refuses to let anyone in unless the situation simply can't be solved without opening up to someone. 'Gang of Secrets' was basically the 'Collector' for Marinette, the episode where the lone Guardian realizes that they can't keep going on in total secrecy, and then picks someone else to open up to while Cat Noir is left to not even know there was a situation to be solved. I'm saying Marinette is probably gonna get her own 'Syren', when she finally realizes that the current level of secrecy is damaging the team. And just like Marinette was the key in 'Syren', Alya will probably be the key to Marinette realizing that Cat Noir is being needlessly excluded.

The show is even setting up the reasons why Marinette doesn't realize she's actually shutting her partner out; Marinette is so busy with her Guardian duties that she doesn't have time to spend being with Cat Noir, and the increased size of the team means she's splitting her attention so she's more likely to miss anything wrong in her dynamic with Cat Noir. This means that, unlike Fu, Marinette is still sympathetic to me within this plot. I don't want what's going on to blow up in her face, because it couldn't be clearer that she isn't intending for things to be one-sided. On the contrary, she's trying to improve the situation for everyone.

Me: wow I’m way too attached to fictional characters

Me: *sees y’all send death threats to writers because you didn’t agree with their decisions*

Me: never mind I’m attached the healthy amount

I’ve been so obsessed with @buggachat bakery enemies au, it’s got me staring at my phone at the same time every day waiting for that notification.

Natalie really gave adrien false hope by giving him Marinette gift in bubbler.

In the episode we saw how Gabriel straight up ignored him on his birthday and only said something to him when Adrien did something wrong. And Natalie giving him that gift made him think that his father really cared about him smh. Gabriel also gave him false hope because he lied to Natalie about asking her to get a gift.

i was thinking about how many tourists must get akumatised in the mlb universe and how they would be able to understand ladybug and chat noir. then i remembered that adrien speaks like a billion languages so this is canon to me.
