Why Marichat is the key to Love Square happiness (aka, I’ve thought about this too much)

(contains season 2 spoilers)

I ship every side of the Love Square, however, Marichat is the best. Here’s why.

Adrien is constricted by his father’s expectations of him, his public persona and his desire to be a ‘normal’ teenager. As Chat Noir, he is free to be himself and shows a more carefree side of his personality. 

Marinette can’t be herself in front of Adrien, which makes Adrienette problematic. She is too conscious of herself and her crush on him to allow herself to relax and just be the fiesty, caring Marinette that her other classmates know and love. The thing is, during the times that she does manage it (e.g. in Gamer), she and Adrien are comfortable with each other and we can see how they’d be great together. It’s short-lived, though, she inevitably ends up tripping over her words and it gets awkward.

Ladrien is the ship of blushes. The two are so caught up in their crushes on each other that all they can do is stutter and stare. It’s cute, and those kids are pure sunshine, but they’re too shy around each other to make any move.

Ladynoir has two main obstacles; Cat Noir’s crush and Ladybug’s sense of responsibility. Chat lets his feelings for Ladybug cloud his judgement (oh hai huffy Chat Noir in Glaciator, I’m looking at you). Whether he’s trying to impress her, seduce her or blame her for not reciprocating his feelings, he has an ulterior motive in the way acts around her. It took him confessing his feelings about Ladybug to Marinette for her to truly understand the depths of his feelings. 

Heartbreakingly, Ladybug’s sense of responsibility as a superhero prevents her from completely opening up to Chat Noir. As Ladybug, Marinette is restricted by her sense of duty. Her main priority is defending Paris, catching Hawkmoth and protecting those she loves by keeping her identity a secret. Her knowledge of what would happen if Hawkmoth got his hands on the miraculouses is a massive burden on her. She fears the concequences of being herself aroung Chat.

Marichat is the only pairing that allows Adrien and Marinette to be completely themselves. They can be honest with each other and enjoy each other’s company without expectation or fear of embarrassing themselves.

Ladybug trusts Chat. As Marinette, she can show him that without feeling like she’s leading him on, or worrying that she’ll accidentally reveal a detail to him that might betray her identity. Adrien thinks of Marinette as a great friend and is able to spend time in her company and truly get to know her without her clamming up, tripping over her own feet and running away.

These two gorgeous humans can flirt with each other, talk freely and generally enjoy friendship as Marichat. They are able to joke with and mock each other with no hard feelings (see: sassy Marinette in Evillustrator). They have the potential to become real friends.

I honestly believe that for any side of the Love Square to become an actual romantic, reciprocal relationship, all sides need to care affectionately for each other. The final step in rounding out the square is Marichat - they are the key to it all. Glaciator has moved us closer to that than any other single episode (I’m still crying, it was gold). 

So, to sum up… more Marichat, please!

If you don’t know the ancestors of @ferisae STOP what you’re doing and go see them now, cuz they are a more beautiful than others. (In particular) when she revealed her new ancestors Mistontli and Mikasoyolin Mexican ancestors, I was simply in love with them, needing draw and paint them. This incredible warrior is called Mistontli, the Aztec/Mexican Black Cat. Learn more Ferisae’s work, you’ll love it  💚🖤 This is my little gift for her <3

just streamed some marichat soo time to uploaaadddddd

[imunderagreste-blog]

aaaaand that’s it folks! i honestly didn’t plan for this comic to give me feels. it was meant to be “haha adrien is so oblivious” instead of.. confused pain. but my hand kind of did its own thing. i hope everything becomes easier after the Big Reveal and not more complicated. these two already love each other so much, they just need to realize it. 

also i used a ref for the last panel. not gonna embarrass myself again by not learning how to draw hands properly.

miraculous ladybug but all the miraculous are slap bracelets

alright I’ve run into some revealfic that has given me this sudden and terrible and cruel thirst for a set-up in which Marinette tells Alya, Nino, and Adrien that she’s Ladybug because [insert literally any valid excuse here; I make no pretenses about caring, none at all]. Alya flips out for all the obvious reasons and Nino’s just like “jfc this explains so much” and both their minds are, like, blown and it’s all a big old fuss like “MARINETTE WHAT THE HELL AND ALSO MARINETTE HOW THE HELL DID WE MISS THIS”. 

And meanwhile Adrien is just, like. Sitting there. Sitting there very quietly in the middle of all the chaos, with his hands folded in his lap. Marinette gives him this nervous little look, worried about how he’s going to react, and Adrien puts on his Model Smile™ and beams at her, his whole face lighting up. 

“You’re amazing, Marinette!” he says brightly, absolutely fucking heartbroken.

Because Marinette told her secret identity to Alya, and Nino, and him, who she’s held maybe half a dozen semi-coherent conversations with and barely knows outside of his good son act. 

But Ladybug didn’t trust Chat Noir with it.
