Okay but back on the topic of the maribat fandom, I understand that there’s a large base created around salt, and that the whole point is to focus on Marinette and giving her what she deserves when the show itself really likes to screw her over.

But that is absolutely no excuse for the complete embarrassment that is the Adrien/Jon ship. I just checked, there’s like one author who posts short stories about them. Everything else is them as a background ship for Marinette’s story. I have my issues with the “pair up the old love interest to get them out of the way/give them a happy ending too” trope, but mostly I’m just personally offended at the wasted potential.

Yes, it’s obviously just an idea that formed to give Adrien a good love interest, too, without going back to the love square, and because best friends i guess, but come on. If only to give Adrien the experience of a country home dinner, that ship deserves more focus.

#speak #and no marinette’s family dinners don’t count #it’s GOTTA be a classic country-style thanksgiving #absolutely nothing like it #for real though Adrien/Jon is so overlooked #it’s always background so they’re always simplified down to bubbly sunshine couple #which is just really disappointing considering how interesting that dynamic could really be #ffs please don’t make me write it #i keep telling myself that i don’t have to write for only rare pairs no one but me cares about AND YET #seriously i just can’t stop myself i am just incapable of writing stories with relationships that any more than 5 people care about #i still have the fire emblem fic to finish too so i’m just going to try to not think about it anymore #because i obviously have no self control #i am the one who wrote a ML/Housamo crossover after all lmao
