#Malekidiator

Okay, so Thomas and the show argued that Chloé only liked being a superhero for the attention, right?

And while I do believe that it was true since at first, she wanted to please her mother until Ladybug decided to give her another chance,

I believe that deep down, it was more than Chloé wanting attention.

I believe that it was Chloé wanting a true friend. Someone that could help her see the light out the end of the tunnel.

How do I know this?

Look at her reaction when she sees Pollen in "Malekdiator" and "Heroes Day- Part 1."

Also, if you recall, Chloe took pictures of Pollen on Instagram and called her cute, despite not showing up on pictures.

(Can’t find a photo of this. If anyone can find it, please link me to it and I will update it.) 

Bonus! Who remembers at the end of “Queen Wasp” after Chloe is deakumatized, she looks miserable when the bee miraculous is destroyed. She knows Pollen lives in there. She believes that she’s dead now because of her.  

Clearly she regrets using her for selfish desires. 

Then, we finally get to “Miracle Queen” where if you look closely at Chloe, while she does snap at Pollen, it’s more out of angst and pain than legit anger.

If one knows basic psychology, one who snaps at someone who is feeling hurt, stressed, etc..,usually doesn’t mean it. 

And that’s proven at the end when Chloe is expelled and kicked off the team. 

She definitely looking at Pollen and trying not to cry.

Proven by these images after this.

Hell, even Pollen and Marinette look remorseful for what has happened.

In conclusion, while I do believe Chloe wanted to be Queen Bee for attention (in some aspects), I also do believe that she only wanted Pollen because she saw her as her true companion. Someone that saw the good in her and only got to know the real her because unlike Adrien and Sabrina who are only there for her when the plot says so, Pollen was her only true friend. With Adrien; it’s social status and clinginess; with Sabrina; it’s obviously abusive. 

Yes while I do believe that Chloe to an extend did truly care about them both, it wasn’t a real friendship with either one of them because Chloe was never taught what true friendship was until she meant Pollen. 

Without Pollen, Chloe would’ve never experience what it’s like to be a hero with Ladybug.

Without Pollen, Chloe would’ve never learned to be a better person with Ladybug.

Without Pollen, Chloe would’ve never felt like what would it be like to change for the good with Ladybug.

Pollen was Chloe’s key to her redemption.
