I know ML canon massively contradicts this, but I just cannot stop thinking about Chat Noirs being chosen not just for their kindness/ good heart, but specifically for their natural bad luck. Ladybugs are naturally luckier than the average person, and they need a partner to balance that out. That bad luck is converted into power by the black cat miraculous, which then attracts more and more bad luck - until it eventually crescendos into a catastrophe like the Great Fire of London.

This is how Plagg loses most of his Chat Noirs. All that bad luck that they were weaponising into power eventually ruins them. He calls it "breaching the event horizon." Going beyond the point of no return.

So Adrien has always known he had a metaphorical sword hanging over him. He knew there were consequences to being Chat Noir. But he figured he wouldn't breach the event horizon until wayyyy into the future when he was an adult. And it would be worth it if he got to keep Paris and Ladybug safe.

......And then he finds out his father's secret identity.

#ml #miraculous ladybug #ml headcanons #look i know ml canon massively contradicts this (havent watched the past few seasons but i've stayed semi-appraised of it via tumblr)#but i don't care i'm mad gabriel had such an anticlimatic end when he has SO much power and potential in the narrative #just!!!!! adrien being born with natural bad luck!!#esp as marinette is often the clumsy one with poor timing #esp as he's literally a #rich nepo baby model so everyone assumes he won the luck lottery #bad luck being weaponised!!! magical consequences!! chat noir KNOWING he's probably going to die young #and it will be gruesome and explosive and probably HIS fault #but not caring #only for him to get past that event horizon and for it to be so much worse than he ever imagined - and he doesnt die he has to live #which he was never prepared for #my posts #au ideas #also it always made my head hurt that the black cat miraculous would just HAPPEN to end up in the hands of hawkmoth's son #that always felt so sus #but if the miraculous was drawn to his shitty no good terrible luck? makes a lotttt of sense #also! explains how chat noir and ladybug just HAPPENS to be in the same class without knowing it jussssst as they got their miraculouses #thats ladybug's good luck working overtime #and saving her chat noir from being isolated and vulnerable (bc he WOULD have been if she wasnt there to counter act his bad luck)#i cant stop thinking about luck magic and a kids show i havent even seen in years i need to go to bed
