#ML Truth

[sidsinning]

Bruh the way Luka flirted with Mari in Truth was so smooth like having Marinette finish the lyric "kiss me" during their lil game then being all "thought you'd never ask 😌" like it was peak wish it lasted longer

Geez, I never connected this before

Did you guys think I was done talking about this?

[piromina]

yknow I really love that the whole point of the episode was breaking free, standing up, fighting back — and then it all ends on a line of complete obedience. all of those lessons and heartfelt moments and rising up and such, only to end with “yes, father.”

I've decided to go back to my roots and reveal the truth about secret identities in Miraculous Ladybug again because I think I might have found some compelling evidence that Ladybug = Gabriel Agreste

[j-a-n-e--d-o-e]

It's not even just Adrien that Marinettes lie protects though, there's also like the consequences for everyone else.

If the world knew Gabriel was Hawk Moth I guarantee you that his company would be ruined. The stock would crash, ppl would stop buying the brand... we've seen it in real life when celebrieties or companies do something stupid or terrible.

I imagine that a lot of people work for the Gabriel brand, alot of people who would be suddenly out of a job and maybe even tarnished but association if they'd ever interacted with the man.

'Because how could you not know?'

And if Gabriel is as big a brand as the Show suggests, it's collapses would 100% fuck up Frances economy to an unclear extent given how it's based there.

There would also be a lot of people who suspected Adrien of being somehow involved because they lived in the same house and that was his dad. Either through actively helping or just ignoring what was happening.

He'd probably be investigated by the police just to be sure, and though the chance is small, the police could find something implicating Adrien as either Chat Noir or that he's a sentimonster.

Okay I get why people are mad about the lying. I hate lying. But you know who also hates lying? Marinette.

It’s a complicated situation, and I can’t say that if I were in her shoes that I wouldn’t also lie. Can most of us say that for certain?

She’s 15. I made so many dumb mistakes when I was 15 but at least I didn’t have the weight of the world on my shoulders as well. She’s figuring herself out while also trying to be a superhero. She’s allowed to make mistakes and this is probably a really big one yes. We can’t expect her to do the right thing all the time.

If anything this episode has made Marinette actually face the consequences of her lies for the first time. That’s good progress! She’s seen how her best friend reacts to the truth - and it is making her think about it.

I am not saying that Marinette’s actions are right - she is lying to the entire world. But I can understand. And I would do the same thing.

So how about instead of hating on a tv character because she ended up in a terrible situation and only had terrible choices to make (and yes telling the truth in this situation I would say is a terrible choice, there’s no winners here, only stupid gabriel) - we enjoy this complex character who at least has the right heart behind everything she does.

We’re in a lose lose situation here but that’s what makes it entertaining 🙃

So aside from being a heartbreaking line, is anyone getting the vibe of....

I mean. I don't know if they would have the balls to do that but. It sure as hell is interesting 👀

[starrynightskies12]

Alya being so torn between her principles and her loyalty to Marinette that she chooses to forget about what she saw. Knowing that she would either keep the secret and go against her morals or she would tell the truth and betray Marinette, knowing no matter what it would eat her up inside.

i think it is genuinely insane how gabriel threatened to kill felix in that one episode

"then you know all i have to do is snap my fingers to make you disapear from here, think of your mother" HELLO???

also gives felix so much more reason to be so desperate to get that peacock miraculous

the idea that gabriel could kill him with the snap of his fingers at any given moment, its terrifying

[slysum]

Okay, yk what I've realised?

That Gabriel, of all people, is the only one who has ever wanted to tell Adrien he's a senti. (If we go on the assumption that the last part of The Letter™️ was about Adrien being created by the peacock miraculous and that Gabriel was the one to write it)

Felix, the boy who has said that he wanted senti's to get freedom? No. He goes to sell out one of the rings (supposedly with Adrien's amok)to Gabriel, even though that only makes his "goal" for a "free world" harder for himself.

Marinette, Adrien's girlfriend? No. She goes on to kill him because she's too much of a coward to tell him any important information.

Nathalie, who is supposedly Adrien's new mother figure? No. She keeps the ring for herself, and instead of warning Adrien and giving him the ring, she does the bare minimum by keeping the ring for herself, and even when Adrien has the rings, she keeps her mouth shut.

(There's also Emelie, Amelie, maybe Kagami, probably Ms. Tsurugi, and some more characters that I probably forgot about)

the fandom is in absolute agreement to the point where its essentially canon on adhd marinette and nothing makes me happier but also everyone sleeps on autistic adrien in this essay I will

[bobamilkteaboy]

friendly reminder

(Marinette's nightmare Adrien: "Why would you do that Marinette?!"

London special: "Why didn't you save him??!")

i think these parallels are really interesting . Marinette's worst nightmare being Adrien hating her for killing his father, even though in the dream it was purely accidental. And his reactions are pretty similar too so it's a cool foreshadowing too. I wish we saw more Chat Noir resenting Ladybug, even if he doesn't mean it, because of this.
