ah yes... as selkie says... the depression pose...
so this summer i am nannying a 5 year old who loves miraculous ladybug (my dream) & every day she asks if we can play ladybug and chat noir at the park. these are some comics based on our various games<3
i feel like people are ascribing way too logic into marinette’s decision making right now. marinette is not thinking logically. and that does not mean “marinette has flawed reasoning” or “marinette is making choices on bad logic” - i mean she is literally not applying logical thought. she is avoiding these conversations out of fear. she’s not paternalistically “making decisions for chat noir’s own good” or deciding what is best for him without his input. she’s avoiding a hard conversation.
this has been a consistent character flaw of marinette. she does fine with some confrontations, but emotionally heavy convos with people important to her? that is something that she has always gotten anxious about and avoided. telling adrien how she feels, telling chloe she can’t be queen bee anymore — even when she wants to do it or knows she has to, she procrastinates or avoids or self-sabotages. marinette not talking to chat noir - about rena and identities, about chat blanc - is the same thing. she’s avoidant.
now, with chat noir, she does have extra reasons to avoid it. with chloe, she knew she had to. with adrien, she wants to. but with chat? having that additional “it’s a safety risk” and “what if it makes things worse” is an excuse she tells herself and maybe others, but it’s not the real reason she hasn’t talked to him. marinette is bad at perspective taking. she’s not thinking “i need to keep this from him because he can’t handle it,” she’s thinking “i never want to talk about this ever because i can’t handle it.” yes, it’s unfair to chat noir and it’ll bite them both in the ass. but marinette’s flaws are not master fu’s flaws or gabriel agreste’s flaws, even when from the outside she is doing something similar.
she’s scared of that conversation. full stop. safety risks and worry about his reaction are all rationalizations she’s using to justify her avoidance.

every time I’m exposed to too much of this fandom’s alphamale fabio Adrien disease and begging for an end to my suffering tumblr user buggachat comes along and singlehandedly saves my life by drawing/writing the truest and most correct form of babygirlified catboy Adrien Agreste
Sometimes my favorite thing about the reveal is just the concept of marinette realizing that chat noir is really just Some Guy who is like. A fairly normal guy. Like the realization that being a cat boy isn’t his full time job and her being baffled by the fact is endlessly entertaining to me
I like to think that, even out of costume, cats are inexplicably drawn to Adrien
(and by inexplicably I actually mean because he smells like cheese)
new adrien crying on a bench just dropped!!!!!! <3
