What-if for Season 4

So at the end of season 3’s episode “Ladybug” we see that Adrien "asking” Lila to get Marinette back in school and what not. Words are spoken and wow just look at how they’re spoken:

That line right there! Okay so I watched this episode in English and in [Latin American] Spanish and wow the way that line is spoken. Both voice actors really conveyed how Adrien would channel his anger. It’s not an emotion we really got to see in Adrien before but in both languages the barely contained anger is something I feel is in line with what we know about Adrien who controls and is conscious of his emotions. It got me thinking about how passive aggressive this boy really is and man oh man how I wish that it get’s worked into season 4. Passive aggressive Adrien Agreste vs. resident liar/manipulator Lila Rossi. Yaaaas sign me up.

Hopefully, this side of him is explored next season and we can finally give Adrien some rivals who can help us explore his character a little more. This ending suggests that Lila is completely in Adrien’s danger radar and he’ll be in Protect Marinette Mode (similar to his Protect Ladybug Mode). In fact, the scene pictured above aligns with his self-sacrificial tendencies that he has as Chat Noir. Lots of people have mentioned that agreeing to the photoshoot is him selling his soul,  but he also establishes that he won’t ever have a genuine friendship with Lila. Bring on the war!

I personally think that Adrien, who we know isn’t too confrontational, will take a subtle approach. And how can he do that? Well, he could channel his inner actor where he can certainly play the part of “friend” while simultaneously working to discredit Lila. 

Like you can not tell me that Adrien, who’s enrolled in a bunch of activities, was not enrolled in acting classes at some point in his homeschooled life. His mom was an actress, so it’s not like his parents would be against the idea of acting lessons. He was even the VA for his own superhero persona in canon’s LB+CN movie lmaoooo. Yes, he’s a model and very much loved by the people of Paris so perhaps being chosen for the role isn’t too surprising, but that also doesn’t mean he has no talent or training for it. Let’s be real, modeling could be the compromise to his parents wanting their son to follow in their footsteps. Modeling is the fashion from his dad and the art of perfecting his facial expressions from his mom.

And like even if acting lessons were never a thing, his mom was around in his life. We know basically nothing about the woman, so really we can speculate that she showed Adrien a thing or two about acting. Let’s say it was through her that Adrien learned to be expressive, to be not expressive, and to be anywhere in between. His mom could have taught him to roll with what life has to offer through ad libs and improv. Adrien we’ve seen to have a dramatic flair as both Adrien and Chat Noir, and he honestly controls his temper waaaay better than we give him credit. Sure he makes mistakes, but really he’s human and he does learn from them (now if only the writing could keep character development for its characters but yeeaaaah).

Here’s a scenario where Adrien can start his stop Lila campaign:

Adrien and Lila are interviewed about the recent shoot and you know questions roll around about how was it working with together, they’re classmates right, are the two dating, yada yada

Adrien answering and not even trying to let Lila get the first word in because the boy is on high alert and knows this girl will try to spin it in her favor

“Oh, it was surprising my father even thought of letting one of my classmates model with me. In fact, I didn’t even know Lila was interested in modeling. Still, it was interesting to work with someone new to the field.”

Which on the surface seems like an ordinary, polite response; appropriate of Adrien but it’s also everything Adrien needs to corner Lila. 

In all of three sentences Adrien says he played no part in making the photoshoot happen, effectively shuts down the possibility of dating Lila, and establishes to the public that Lila is nothing more than a classmate, one he doesn’t even know well.

Lila is annoyed but she’s not giving up because she’s under the impression that Adrien is far too agreeable and spineless therefore she writes him off as Not a Threat

Hahahaha jokes, Adrien plays on people underestimating him

“Well, I didn’t want you to think that I wanted to make it seem like I was using you because we’re friends and friends don’t do that.”

Or something along those lines I dunno

“That’s the great thing about our class everyone is so nice that we can all be friends. Lots of us are so creative and I love getting to know everyone. Nathaniel, Lila’s desk mate, is a great artist; sketching, painting, he’s your guy. He’s currently working on a superhero comic with Marc from the other class and I can’t wait for what else they come up with for the sequel. Ivan, who sits in front of Nathaniel, he’s a rockin’ drummer, and Rose, she’s another one of our classmates, killer voice and awesome lyrics. Her best friend, Juleka plays bass and I’ve actually modeled with her before. Nothing official, but since I know Juleka wants to be a model I honestly thought she was going to be the one I was modeling with for this shoot. Sure it wasn’t a huge shoot, but Juleka did such a great job. And the clothes we modeled were made by our everyday Ladybug, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Marinette, she’s also our class rep by the way, is such a brilliant designer! Did you know that she actually won one of my father’s contests? Her hat was adored by Audrey Bourgeois AND she was offered the chance to move to New York. And you know…”

Basically, Adrien ends up spending the rest of the interview talking about how much he knows about his friends and “gee it’s such a shame I don’t really know much about you Lila.”

Read: you aren’t special, I have more friends, and I actually pay attention to them.

Bonus point: Alec is the one who interviews them and he picks up on Lila becoming more and more frustrated with Adrien. 

Pretty in character for him to poke the bear *cough* Stormy Weather *cough* so for him to let Adrien take the reins of the interview for the sake of drama isn’t that much of a stretch.

Alec: What about Lila? 

Adrien: I don’t know, I really don’t want to get anything wrong so she can answer

The next day, the interview is the only thing anyone can talk about 

Adrien’s classmates gushing about how sweet Adrien is because he literally showed them that he really cares about them. 

Adrien remembering all this information about all of them and hyping everyone up on TV!!

Friends know each other’s dreams and likes and dislikes and Adrien isn’t known to have lots of free time, but him making the effort to remember all that about each person is flattering to the class

Let Adrien show how much he appreciates and admires his friends pleeeeeeease

Lila can be in the background plotting how to paint Adrien in a bad light 

But uhhh the class is going full Protect This Precious Boy at this point so your plan has to be fool-proof Lila

Bonus point: the class is now more sus of Lila after the whole Marinette-got-expelled-and-then-unexpelled (which is still fresh in their minds). 

No one get’s an expulsion reversed unless they’re innocent 

And dude Lila was in the middle of that whole mess. 

Whatever Lila did shows she has the power to get any of them expelled. 

If the kids aren’t at least wary of Lila in season 4, then the writers really be tripping because too many red flags around Lila for people to just wave them off.

In other news, Marinette starts to trend after enough of Adrien’s fans connect the dots that she’s the same girl who they chased around that time she and Adrien went to the movies

If the majority of Parisians weren’t convinced they were dating back then, oh boy they at least ship it by this point hahahaha

[aceofpandas]

Wait lmaoooo I love this!!! Poor boy wonder how he’s gonna explain this one

Also can we talk about Marinette’s persuasion skills? (Granted Gabriel has his own agenda I guess, but still!!)

ooh spicy

[aceofpandas]

Honestly tho the inconsistency in writing in the series is y my expectations are as low as they come >.>

What I wanna see in the NYC Special

Tour guide: And in the case of an-

Lila: *bragging about the MANY times she was brought to NYC* *talking SUPER loudly and distracting everyone* *so loud it’s almost like she’s trying to yell out her story as if she were about to lose Wi-Fi connection in the subway*

Tour guide: *slams hand HARD on nearby wall* EXCUSE ME, but does Mlle. Chatty-Pants want to lead this tour? Of course, you simply MUST with all the times you’ve been here. K so, do YOU know how to get back to the hotel if you somehow end up in Fresh Meadows? No? Gee you should, given how much you know? Alright, do you know how to navigate the subway system if there’s construction on the rails without ending up in the middle of Brooklyn? Or better yet, name me what neighborhoods border the second largest park in the city? You can’t, oh gee that’s SUCH a shame! Oh, I know you MUST speak enough English, Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, AND Mandarin to ask for help in the event that you end in one of the many diverse neighborhoods in Queens, riiiight?

Lila: *sniffles* B-but-

Tour guide: And look, even if you did know all that, I can’t believe how disrespectful you are of my time, your teacher’s time AND your peers SAFETY. If you know so much from your travels how about you mention that after I get across everything YOUR classmates need to know. This whole exchange is about friendship and your attitude is showing you need to be taught ALOT obout it. Your unnecessary bragging is telling of how you value your self-importance is above letting other people receive useful information in the unfortunate event of an emergency.

Classmates: *pikachu shook*

Tour guide: Aight you know what? I was going to let you all pair off BUT for Mlle. Chatty-Pants YOU are going to stick with your teacher. No ifs and buts about it. Understood?

Classmates: *still shook*

Tour guide: *smiles brightly* Good!

How can you even say that girl groups like 15&, Davichi, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher, f(x), Ladies Code, 2NE1, SISTAR, GFriend, Marmello, SPICA, etc. are all the same? It just shows your ignorance and inability to give girl groups a chance because you automatically categorize them as being the same in your head without even listening to them. If you think girl groups are all the same then please show me what other girl group has a dark gothic J-rock concept like Dreamcatcher. All of the girl groups I listed have different concepts from each other. And to say that Kpop female vocalists aren’t as good as Western vocalists? Um, Luna? Bestie’s Uji (her cover of Whitney Houston on Girl Spirit was amazing)? 15&’s Park Jimin? Wendy? Eunji? Ailee? Hyorin? SPICA’s Bohyung? Shannon? I could go on all day naming all of the great female vocalists in Kpop.

[aceofpandas]

Park Jimin is one of JYPE strongest vocalists and 19 to 20 was a beautiful mini album. Her style is refreshing and I became her fan because of it. I really hope she gets to show her fans her own colors now and JYPE gives her room to grow.
