You know, I liked Lila as a character much better when she was just a lonely girl who lied to get attention and clout rather than some evil mastermind who somehow has three (3) different identities and has a secret lair in the catacombs under Paris.
But the writing team doesn’t want to hear that.

Okay I was in fact bitten by the nostalgia bug and can concede the new miraculous animation is overall better than the old one☺️ I was simply momentarily disgusted by change ☺️

I've recently come across a couple of season 4 fanfics that dealt with the Chat Noir feeling left out and quitting thing and every time I read one I can't help but think "man did they chose the wrong side of the masks AND the wrong characters for this conflict. Chat Noir comes across terribly here". It's weird to see people try and justify his behavior and act like Ladybug was in the wrong.
Was Ladybug being the best friend ever? No, but friendship is secondary when they're wearing the masks. Paris comes first. Chat Noir quitting because he doesn't feel special enough is literally him endangering everyone he loves because his crush isn't paying enough attention to him and I truly can't tell if the show wanted us to feel like he was in the right or the wrong here. In Kuro Neko, Catwalker actually does acknowledge the lesson he needed to learn
There's nothing wrong with you. Maybe the boy who was Cat Noir was more sensitive than it seemed. But his feelings for you shouldn't force you to pay more attention to him than to others. You take care of everybody equally, Ladybug. 
And Chat Noir apologizes at the end of the episode for causing Ladybug trouble, but the whole thing is incredibly lackluster. They don't actually have a meaningful conversation about why he was feeling that way and the rest of the season seems to present Ladybug as being in the wrong, especially the final! Trusting Alya leads to nothing meaningful and not trusting Chat Noir loses her the miraculous. Basically, I still have no idea what season 4 was trying to do with this conflict and it's been dropped forever now that Adrien is fully reduced to nothing more than arm candy.
HOWEVER, this basic setup could have been a fantastic b plot if the "Adrien doesn't feel needed" conflict wasn't a Ladynoir conflict, but was instead a conflict between Adrien and Nino. Move Rocketear up to earlier in the season and have the fallout from that be that Adrien's relationship with Nino is strained. He can still feel leftout because Ladybug has a bigger team now, but instead of him pouting about it and skipping fights, focus on how that need for connection has transferred to his civilian life, but he doesn't have Kagami or Nino now and he's lost. Then you can either have an Adrien and Nino b plot because that relationship needs more screen time OR you use this to make Adrien and Marinette start to grow closer because Rocketear's fallout is also Alya paying more attention to Nino. Then, when season 5 does the whole crush switch, it actually feels earned.

Something I love about mlb is when these teenagers just get to be dumb fucks with eachother. Like Alya and Marinette being besties, Nino and Adrien being stupid together, Chat Noir fucking around and having fun, Ladybug getting to have thise moments when she relaxes and leans on Chat. Its so human. I live for it.

watched revelator. first of all, so happy to see felix. second of all oooooh my gosh whadda hell that's so fucked /pos
#I was a little confused at first I think but yeah I understand we good#and I agree that Ladybug should tell people herself#she needs to make that choice. she needs to speak up#because having it just get found out like. Alya would be much less mad if Marinette had told her directly#even if it took a while right#and she should tell adrien! of course she should! but it's scary and hard like idk if I'd want to tell him either eeek#especially at her age right like being a teenager makes shit scarier absolutely#I do think Mari is keeping too many secrets and they're building up and this is. not healthy for her even#let alone the impact on adrien#something I think she could do is talk to felix about this#not just saying this because I miss him#but like. he knows right#she should talk to someone else who already knows#though I guess by that logic Tikki or Nathalie would also work#just! talk to someone#get your feelings out. come up with a plan to tell Adrien. get yourself together#I think Felix or Nathalie are the best options for that and not Tikki#because they're both closer to Adrien so I think they'd have better advice. it's a delicate situation#idk I just. I hope she doesn't put it off even more now#because now she's convinced people will hate her if they know she kept it a secret#and that's not true or at least not to such an extreme#but she's good at catastrophising and she's panicking#and she needs to! talk to! someone! gah.#also. adrien getting the power to erase the secret that he needed to know he needs to know he needs to#GAHHHH#melting into a puddle of goo on the floor. this show is good sometimes hhhhh

Honestly fair, I’m sick of their crap also (which probably isn’t super surprising considering I literally made the post lol)
What she says: “I’m fine.”
What she means: There is a whole subsection of the Miraculous Ladybug fandom who thinks one character having to sit by herself in the back of the class for a single episode (literally gets her seat back by the end) is worse than another character getting abused by his dad for five seasons.

I actually think the nature of the love square is really interesting because the love square itself is the main ship of the show and Adrienette and Ladynoir are like … pieces of that ship
When we ship them, we ship them with the knowledge of all sides of them, and usually when they get together in fics it’s post-reveal. Why? Because that’s the whole ship
Ladynoir trust each other completely and are comfortable around each other and enjoy bantering … but they can’t be a part of each other’s regular lives
Adrienette can do that … but they’re not completely comfortable around each other yet, especially with this huge secret about Adrien that Marinette is keeping
I think it’s really interesting that the show decided to get Adrienette together pre-reveal because it’s so clear that they’re missing the Ladynoir aspect of the ship, especially with all the emphasis in Illustrhater about them not having the partnership that Alya and Nino do as superheroes … despite the fact that they’re THE superhero duo of the city
Idk I just find it really interesting that the main ship of this show is currently half a ship

One of the tragedies of Miraculous Ladybug is that Adrien and Alya aren't as close friends as they could be. They're both "new kids" at the start of the series. They're both massive fans of superheroes, ESPECIALLY Ladybug. They both quickly become experts in dealing with Marinette's panic spirals. Both of them think Nino is the Coolest Dude to ever Cool Dude. Let's be honest they're probably both anime addicts. They're both chaos gremlins in their own way.
But despite being apparently part of the same little social group at school, Alya and Adrien barely seem to interact without Marinette acting as a bridge. And that's sad. Let Alya and Adrien have a day where they just get to be chaotic together. It'd be so fun.

“Why is Marinette suddenly clumsy around Adrien again?”, “Why is she acting weird again?”, “She was acting fine before,”
Yeah, she WAS acting normal at the end of season five, but that was before she found out her boyfriend’s dad was the supervillain terrorising Paris and had then witnessed his death.
Marinette now has even MORE secrets she has to keep and she can’t tell anyone. Not Chat Noir, not Alya, and ESPECIALLY not Adrien. So yeah she’s going to be acting a little more strange again because she now has this added strain on their relationship, because even after his death, Gabriel Agreste/Monarch still has control over her.

Yo, hey man!
Accident Swap, does Marinette even *care* about Lila in your AU, or is she just another nuisance she can brush off?
Does Lila try to say Ladynoir is evil because of all the destruction, or does she go Canon Route with "Ladybug/Ladynoir and me? We're best friends!"?
Hey!
Marinette does care about Lila but not in the same way, she doesn't want her lies hurting her friends. In my AU they don't believe the bad things she says about Mari cause like- they know her. But like people often are, they give her the benefit of the doubt, and Lila is smart, she realizes she can't just lie about anything, especially since the class does actually know celebrities. She plays the long con game, having to take a different more subtle approach, she blames Marinette for making it harder for her to get what she wants. Marinette tries to keep tabs on her but there's only so much she can do, especially with her responsibilities, so there are people who fall on Lila's side, but none of them are Marinette's friends. (Kagami would never believe this girl over Marinette. I'm sorry, but no)
Lila pretends she's close with Mr. Bug in this AU, she has seen how Lady Noire isn't publicly loved as much and jumps on that, this is what gets her more popularity, since Adrien is a sweet boy, he doesn't want to publicly humiliate Lila, especially since it might draw Hawkmoths attention to her. In this AU Alya of course is start struck with the idea of Lila knowing Mr. Bug, but isn't irrational enough to place that in her blog to make her a target. So it just remains in their group that Lila told, Adrien coming as Mr. Bug to prove her wrong might end up causing more problems in his head. She does start spreading rumours to gain more interest from their friend group, jumping on the narrative that Mr. Bug had told her he doesn't really like Lady Noire, the public isn't really aware how much she does because it's the miraculous ladybugs that fix everything, so he must be the one in charge. Lila also spreads rumours that she has actually talked with Lady Noire and just insults her character, lying about how she doesn't care about Paris and that she generally was really rude. Lila doesn't actually care about the heroes, but she realized it was an easy way to get attention and trust from the classmates as long as she was careful about it, people are easily swayed by gossip and fear. Alya was on her side up until she was Rena Rouge, quickly deleted all the old theories Lila helped her come up with from her blog after that. (She becomes Rena after Lila is introduced in my AU).
I hope that answered the questions! I got a bit sidetracked while typing this, on the phone it's hard to scroll up and down without it glitching akdnlaf

Miraculous identity rant
I have seen videos, comments, post about the latest season 6 episode The ruler, mainly the aftermath of how Marc and Nathaniel decided to reveal to each other their hero identities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People are saying that “ Ladybug should/ would take back their miraculous.” “They shouldn’t have a miraculous if they’re going to do that.” “They’re putting each other at risk.” I’m NOT saying people can’t have thoughts and opinions about the episode just Careful on how you phase your theories, watch back to some of the episode if needed to.
My main point
Since most aren’t reading it 💢
How is it far and acceptable to all these side characters revealing their identities and secrets but not when it comes to those two. Where was the hate with Alya and Nino or Kagami and Felix? Heterosexual couples that revealed their secrets to each other?
Since the comic was based off of them, Nath changed the ending so we don’t know what it is unless they choose to tell us. We also don’t know much about their character as they weren’t seen much in previous seasons other than the fact that they enjoy each others company, into fantasy, they love to work on comic and that’s about it.
Them knowing the identities of each other would help make them stronger in battle and future challenges just like the best friend group, Kagami and Felix, or probably with MylĂŠne and Ivan.
I think the lesson on that last scene especially for Nathaniel is that he shouldn’t hide who he is with being bisexual in the term of him hiding his comic.
Marc being the one who had always been there to support his struggles, defending him by making up lies to his mom about a school assignment, jumping into danger to protect him from an akuma and being the shoulder for him to lean on.
I believe that they came to that term of their relationship where they shouldn’t keep any secrets from each other. With Nathaniel wanting to protect Marc but trusting him with that information.
Tumblr media
Similar to gang of secret with Marinette dealing with an extremely difficult and stressful situation of now being the new guardian. Alya being her best friend was willing to wait and offer to help with whatever was on her mind until Marinette broke down and revealed to that she was Ladybug.
So why can’t Marc and Nathaniel do the same?
May I also remind the fans that in earlier seasons there has been countless reveals.
Tumblr media
First off Chloe not only revealing a miraculous but also transforming into Queen bee in front of everyone and to the world.
Ladybug stated she could not give her the bee miraculous anymore as she had put herself and her loved ones in danger but proceed to still give it to her when they needed help.
Until the episode Miracle Queen where she betrayed them
Tumblr media
Chloe had revealed the other heroes identity to the enemy breaking Ladybug’s trust in her.
Hawkmoth already knew Chloe and Kagami but that was just added more to the list with that information and the translation of the miraculous book which were probably saved in Tomoe Tsurugi’s laptop that’s now in Lila’s possession. She knows their identities.
Tumblr media
Felix had also done the same in season 5 Emotion during the Diamond dance in front of people but not on screen for the world to see compare to Chloe.
His mom also knows but chose to keep it secret as she loves her son.
Ladybug did demand the miraculous back twice but randomly gave up.
Tumblr media
Nino and Alya during season 2 Heroes day. Ladybug gave them the miraculous at the same time being unable to separate them from the current situation they were in even let them be permanent holders too.
When Alya went into hiding as Rena Furtive in season 4 Marinette told her to keep it a secret but she still told Nino.
Tumblr media
Nino had also revealed his and Alya’s hero identity to Adrien in Rocket tear and Marinette finding out in Deflagration.
Tumblr media
In season 5 Multiplication. Alix as Bunnix was revealed to the whole class by her dad with the addition of a Marc included in episode Reunion and Luka in the season 5 finale probably more but we’re unsure about that.
If they were to get akumatized ?
They haven’t been akumatized since their introduction in season 1 and 2
Tumblr media
Puppeteer does not count as Nathaniel was not affected by the akuma but more forcefully transformed and controlled by a doll.
Same goes for Gamer 2.0 as everyone literally got turned into akumatized video game characters.
Even if they were in a upsetting or sad state to where they’re about to get akumatized. They’re able to break the hold knowing that they are both Miraculous holders just like Sabrina did in Daddycop.
Ladybug told them to keep it a secret.
Where? When? If you all are referring to the penalteam episode in season 4 Ladybug never told that to either of them.
During the part where she gave them their Miraculous she was reassuring Marc and suggested that Nathaniel joins. Never once did she say that people are forbidden to know their identities.
Ladybug to Marc: you’re too hard on yourself, you’re more talent than you realize.
Ladybug towards Nathaniel: you’ll use the power for the greater good and return it to me once the job is done.
What if people saw from the outside ?
Nathaniel’s window was being covered by the sun and if you ever look at building where the sun is shining then you’ll know can’t see nothing but bright light even when it’s setting.
The window could be tainted on the outside for privacy. Hardly doubt the bed frame did any help as that entire area was covered in glass.
Trees were covering some parts so we don’t know how tall Nathaniel’s place is.
Heck even Adrien has transformed in his room before countless time and one section of his wall is literally made of window.
What if one of them goes into hiding?
I don’t think it’s possible due to the fact they only knew each others.
If they knew Ladybug and Chat noir’s identity like Luka and Alix then I can see why.
The antagonist always to seem to want one thing which are the bug earrings and cat ring due to its ability to make a wish and not the other miraculous jewels even if some are extremely powerful like time travel, reset time, teleportation, transfer objects, have any power or object you want.
What if Chat Noir erases their memories?
His new ability to erase parts of memories are if the person is willing to accept it but that’ll erase only that part of their memories and throw away the whole point of trusting in each other.

AHHH copycat is so good!! I absolutely love all the small details like the cat noir poster with darts, the fact ladybug and chat are both blurry compared to the news reporters, copycat having a gardevoir keychain, and Nino holding Alya back!! The dialogue is also super refreshing and feels so natural especially the cape pen part! (The way you guys write makes me insane and I can’t even begin to describe it.) You guys do such a amazing job capturing everything and making it so genuine
I was curious about what the inspiration for this was? I can see bits and pieces of all kinds of things ( perfect blue and maybeee Madoka Magica with lucky and her attack/general appearance) If you can talk about it without spoilers for the second part!!
I think Ladybug being treated as a celebrity is unfortunately most commonly used in this fandom for the sake of putting her on level playing field fame-wise with Adrien, thus being another vehicle for shippies rather than explored as interesting within itself. There's a fuck ton of critique about capitalism, consumerism, and celeb culture to be had in a superhero story (*cough cough* Vought International *cough*), and that's an element that's always fascinated us in the LT crew.
Later installments with Fakeybug will center around her relationship to Marinette and how Marinette views herself (with Fakeybug as a parallel/conduit), but until we get there the first step in Fakeybug's arc is her introduction as the commercialized, sanitized commodity that Ladybug is warped into, and eventually how Fakeybug will break out of that mold. Given that, there's obviously the conceit following Fakeybug of the limited roles of women in patriarchal society, and that if women do not fit into palatable, digestible roles (i.e. Ladybug), their selves will be misconstrued and warped to make them fit one (i.e. Fakeybug).
All this to say, I'd personally love more AUs that go the gritty realism route in service of deconstructing superheroes from the lens of fame (and its subsequent disillusionment between one's public persona and private identity) and consumerism, especially in magical girl shows or other media that is, frankly, meant to sell toys.
What really is the difference between the knockoff market stall Fakeybug merchandise, and, say, the merchandise made for Miraculous Ladybug in the real world?
oooh... meta.....
