Lukanette is the Ideal Ship (for now) Here’s Why

Hi before, anyone gets mad at me - I still think Adrienette is endgame, but with the information we have right now, I’m really rooting for Luka atm. I’m not hating on anybody’s ship, ya’ll can ship whoever you want with whoever you choose. This is just an analysis considering the plot and the characters within the show. Also this POV is in Marinette’s favor - NOT Ladybug, I personally think compatibility-wise Chat Noir and Ladybug belong together. So this post is strictly analytical and I’m going to do my best to keep the bias down to a minimum.

We all know Luka was created as a love triangle for Marinette. Like the first time we’re introduced to him (Captain Hardrock, S2Ep13) Alya was already all up in Marinette’s business meaning the show wanted us to consider him as a love interest. I mean she was infatuated with him the moment she saw him, she straight up stammers like she did with Adrien. We also see him making fun of Marinette afterwards, which is similar to when Adrien laughed at Marinette during the umbrella scene (Origins PII, S1Ep26). There a few more key similarities between the two main love interests which is just more confirmation that this was intentional. The show wanted more drama in our superheroes civilian lives because let’s be honest, Marinette stumbling around trying to get Adrien’s attention was getting a little old.

Now let’s actually talk about why I believe Luka is better suited for Marinette (again, for now, because we all know Adrien and Marinette were made for each other). We’ve all read the fanfictions, Marinette is just overall clumsy and shy irl vs her superhero persona, this isn’t something that can be fixed overnight. Confidence needs to be built up from the inside out and I really think Luka does a really good job of bringing that side out of Marinette.  She has great confidence in herself around Luka, but she freaks out about her designs not being good enough around Adrien (Mr. Pigeon, S1Ep6). In the Silencer episode (S3Ep6) you can see Luka constantly looking at her during rehearsal and praising her designs. Although Adrien does this in Mr. Pigeon, this is the only time it happens, and he’s been around her designs quite often - Style Queen (S2Ep23) and Reflekdoll (S3Ep9) to name a few - while Luka has only been around Marinette once, you can already tell that he’s not just being polite like Adrien. Confidence is something she lacks around Adrien, and maybe it’s because all he ever does is be polite around her and not so much genuine. Luka has said outright that she’s amazing (Captain Hardrock, S2Ep13).

Ok maybe that’s just semantics and poor line choices, so let’s talk about Luka’s confession:

"You are an extraordinary girl, Marinette. Clear as a music note, sincere as a melody. You have been the song I hear in my head since we first met. I won’t let anyone hurt you."

I swear if someone ever said that to me I would have lost it. Like, I would not know how to cope after that, forget Adrien, I want this kind of poetry in my life at all times. Regardless, this isn’t about me, this is about Marinette. This woman just stands there blushing, she knows that he likes her now, but she can’t get over Adrien, which is understandable, she’s liked him for so long. His confession just kinda shows that he’s ready to support her forever, and that’s really all he can do because clearly she’s still hung up on Adrien (Desperada, S3Ep13).

Here’s my issue with this, do we ever really hear why Marinette likes Adrien so much? For me, I have to separate the fanfiction from the show because I recall in so many fanfictions about why Marinette likes Adrien but do we ever get a reason in the show? Let’s look at the umbrella scene again, what made him so attractive in this one moment? Was it him saying he was trying to be a good friend? Was it the umbrella? Or, hear me out, his looks? We can’t tell for certain, all we know is, after given the umbrella, she’s completely in love with him. I fear that this is a toxic relationship though; throughout the show we can assume that Marinette has stalked Adrien (Copycat, S1Ep9) and has documented everything about him (Animaestro, S3Ep4). This obsessive behavior can come off as creepy irl and honestly our oblivious cinnamon roll is just vibing and only recently figure out that she liked him (Puppeteer 2, S3Ep12). She’s so nervous about being the perfect person around him I feel like she’s completely forgotten that he’s a person with feelings too. In fact, in the same episode, Marinette goes on a whole soliloquy about how perfect he is. I don’t think Marinette really can share her reasons for liking him and that’s a problem in itself.

Luka also complements Marinette very well. Our girl loves to get jittery and excited, she’s impulsive and just ready to take the initiative (as long as it’s not around Adrien). Her high-strung energy requires someone to be her rock and keep her centered. Luka proves to be a great supporter in Heart Hunter (S3Ep25) when Marinette is overwhelmed with emotions. He just stands there and let’s her cry, which I don’t think she would ever be able to do around Adrien. He also proves to be observant as a superhero (Desperada, S3Ep13) which is something that even Chat Noir sometimes can overlook. He knows even as a hero that he’s the support and Ladybug needs him for that reason. This is honestly the biggest reason why Luka is the better choice at the moment. He has clearly shown that he wants to be there for her, whether it’s watching her do dumb shit like givING his guiTAR to a man who only plays classical, or just seeing her make costumes. He wrote a soNG for her!!

Luka is really out here just trying to be supportive and I love the headcanon that he knows who Ladybug is because he can tell it’s Marinette’s voice, but that’s besides the point. Adrien is being forced to the side because the show wants to dramatize the love life, which is understandable (I mean, who watches the show for the hero stuff, nah, we here for the romance). Like Kagami says, she’s gonna have to make up her mind eventually (S2Ep21) and I think the way the show is going, she’s currently siding with Luka given that Adrien is with Kagami (Miracle Queen, S3Ep26). I would love to see how the romance pans out in the end, because I really believe that the only reason why we’re here is because Adrien can’t make up his gd mind, and he’s honestly doing the same thing but with Ladybug - as in he’s not even considering other people or acknowledging them because he’s put Ladybug on a pedestal but can’t go through the same obsessive lengths like Marinette since she’s pretty good at hiding her identity, he’s got the Ladyblog and that’s it. (If ya’ll wanna talk about how oblivious he is, or even his love life hmu)

If you guys have any inputs feel free to have a discussion down below! I do sound a bit biased in this, but I hope my analysis explains why. As always this was just a fun post, so please don’t judge me based on this! Thanks~

The gloves look so gooood~~~ ~ I tried a lot of new techniques like gathering mesh, using elastic thread, and top stitching to get these gloves to look this way! You have no idea how many gloves I’ve cut out and patterned and sewed, all of those tutorials out there work well with stretchy fabric not so much on anything unfortunately... or maybe I’m still incredibly inexperienced, hopefully I’ll get there soon! ~ #miraculousladybug #marinettedupaincheng #gloves #cosplay #miraculous #ladybug #homecoming #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx3RDH5ljMs/?igshid=1gyu1aoy1cjmq

My Ladybug dress has a petticoat!! The embellishments look great but idk how I feel about the petticoat making me look disproportionate? But I do love it peeping out from under the skirt, each piece of tulle has two pieces of ribbons glued to make circles and more Ladybug motifs because I wanted to be extra-took me about a week to get the petticoat all ready to go and I’ve also been working on the earrings on the side! Can’t wait to post them when they’re done! Swipe to see the dress without the petticoat and just the petticoat! ~ Also might I just say that the recent episodes have me quaking and I can’t compute and wow take me for a ride why don’t you Astruc ~ #ladybug #miraculousladybug #miraculous #cosplay #dress #design #homecoming #flowers #marinette #marinettedupaincheng https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxp74GblOHC/?igshid=x9ygf7fargf

I’ve been an avid fan of MLP since I was a little kid (my favorite G3 was Dancing in the Clouds with Star Catcher) but since then, I’ve also loved FiM. I really like the morals and the badass battles they have. but cosplaying them in the public is a different story because I’m scared people will judge me. I really want to do a Countess Coloratura and Rarity’s Grand Galloping Gala, but I really don’t want people judging me or calling me a kid or cringe at the sight of my being a pegasister... how do I get over this?

Dear Eden, you're super inspiring to me because you majored in STEM but still found time to release your creative juices. I hope to be able to balance my STEM major and continue to create as you do!

Awwww, thank you!! I appreciate you saying that! 🥰

It always feels like people are told that you’re either left or right brained, but I don’t believe they have to be mutually exclusive. It’s great to pursue interests from both your creative side and your analytical side. I think it makes you well rounded in your way of thinking and makes you more open minded, able to make more connections about the world. Like Leonardo da Vinci! :D OOH WE SHOULD ALL STRIVE TO BE LEO DA VINCIS!! 💪💪💪

I’m hoping to get at least two orders! DISCLAIMER: I’m away from my art materials until May, so if you do order from me, it won’t be ready until late May. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPEAHmpVcM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o8axf3vb2u6x

I haven’t really posted much lately, but here is an update on my Ladybug costume! The bodice and skirt bases have been redesigned to match my original design... my only problem is that the back was originally supposed to be a zipper, but I don’t think it fits the aesthetic. I’m working on a new backing but any suggestions are welcome! After the back is done embellishments will be hand-sewn on! I’m super happy that I’m finally finishing this cosplay, it’s my first cosplay EVER and am really proud of its current outcome already! ~ WIP: Miraculous Ladybug - Ladybug Homecoming Dress ~ #cosplay #dress #cosplaydesign #design #sewing #fashion #wip #bodice #circleskirt #ladybug #miraculousladybug #marinettedupaincheng #homecomingdress
