Now do I make things happy and fluffy by saying Adrien loves Marinette so so much that he doesn't mind her all disgusting and sick like a normal person

Or do I make it sad and angsty by thinking about the fact we have confirmation Adrien was the only one around while his mom was sick and deteriorating so he probably got desensitized from a young age when it comes to sickly people and bodily fluids and all the unpleasantness that comes with disease

The tough choices we have make. Hmmmm....

I now understand that the reason they aired these two episodes Like That is because they wanted the gays to have two big wins in a row

marinette really went to school just to spread the new covid variant between all her classmates

[floweryotter]

also marinette really had no reason to be afraid of adrien seeing her sick or hear her blowing her nose. boy literally bought her constipation pills thinking she hadn't shit for a week and was totally unfazed

sun-heart and rain-piercer who are so clearly not marc and nathaniel self inserts in light of the characters’ blonde and black hairs… they are ladynoir shippers THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!!!

Gotta say, the new animation style really brings out facial expressions, I love the glare of defiance!

I'm so into the Marcaniel story and reveal that I forgot we all thought this episode was gonna be about Ms. Bustier lol

Caprikid's fighting style really calls back to Evillustrator and it's fantastic. It was beautiful watching him summon up supplies and using them as attacks--the markers as throwing knives, the huge pencil, the art palette as a shield and the supersized eraser. Genesis lets him weaponize his creativity again, and he's impulsive but he's also quick on his feet. Especially love how he still pulled off the plan even when LB's distraction fell through, he absolutely slayed in this.

Ziggy : Are we really going to confront your mom?

Nathaniel : Yes. I'm ready. I won't hide anymore.

I literally cannot remember the last time I laughed this hard!

I was literally choking I was laughing so hard!

NEW NIGHTMARE FUEL UNLOCKED

[floweryotter]

Marinette having a dad sneeze is so real. Its her expunging demons from her soul meanwhile Adrien has a pathetic little mewl of a sneeze they're so perfect for each other.

I really like how Marinette handled this. She knows that Nathaniel's likely to regret this, so she persuades him to let her hang onto the proofs. But she also agrees not to show them to anyone else in order to respect his present choice.

[floweryotter]

The knights' story tells us that they have to make a choice between revealing their identities and staying together, or not revealing their identities and keeping their powers. I think many of you will have seen the parallels with the lovesquare, but not only...

The scene where Marc and Nath reveal their identities is a parallel to the Ephemeral episode where Marinette and Adrien also reveal their identities. I have a feeling that the curse of revealing identities gone wrong doesn't just apply to the love square, but to the other miraculous holders as well.

Seeing that Marcaniel’s passion for comic books obviously acted as a metaphor for being queer this episode, I’d just like to point out that it wasn’t just Nathaniel’s mother being depicted as the homophobic parent, but his dad also depicted a different flavour of non-acceptance this episode.

I think he’s meant to represent the kind of parent that says that they accept queer people but continue to enforce their own agenda onto their queer child regardless. Him saying that the relationship between the two knights lacked real sentiment and instead suggesting it would be better for them to fall for the villain lady instead because that’s what people wanted to see is just another form of disregarding your child’s queer interests and suggesting that they put on a heteronormative mask instead to appease others.

I'm sorry, but that scene made me laugh so hard. It was such an unexpected reference.

(I don't know if it was on purpose, but the joke seems specific enough not to be intentional...)

“Il pleure sur le poulet” (“He cries over the chicken”) or more commonly “C'est quoi ce poulet?” (“What's that chicken?”)  is an expression many French people use on the Internet to express something they find incredible.

The expression was coined following an interview with rapper Kaaris.
