#marichat superiority

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

Genuine curiosity

I reread my first chapter of it and now I’m fixating on it a little too much. So. Just curious

Extra context: I’ve redesigned multiple characters and it’s no longer set in Paris but instead a vague European city because I couldn’t be fucked to learn about France and figure out how it would impact certain choices of mine. It’s also slightly more mature but that’s just bc of my writing style

[a-g-l-e-tagletdontforgetit]

just finished all the mlb episodes i can find in english and the latest season feels like a fever dream

like no way that actually happened with the reverse love in each ship

i actually didnt like it that way, like i thought i would like it more

but i am always here for a mr bug and lady noire episode so loved that

[shylittlefrogg]

I really like Marichat, I find it like the side of the love square, superior. mostly because they are the most genuine version of them

Marinette can be more relaxed with Chat Noir without the Ladybug mask, she doesn't have a burden of proving to be the 'best person in the room' she can be herself in a more relaxed way with Chat noir, since that is her partner, one of her best friends, she knows him and knows the type of person Chat is, she knows the good type with a good heart and now she can be her friend in a more genuine way for her.

Then there is Adrien's side, who now like Chat can see another side of Marinette, from his perspective he thinks that Marinette doesn't like Adrien from the beginning and that's why she gets very nervous around him, so he really hasn't known Marinette, he knows the general thing, he's seen her actions towards others and he admires her but they've never really had a long and serious talk so it's a new perspective for him to talk to Marinette as Chat. Without Adrien's weight.

They are both much more genuine, each knowing the other's other identities and feeling relaxed because they know their character. Also, without their interactions as Marichat we would not have had the love square inversion, which although I complain about the last seasons, that was one of the writing peaks, thank you very much

I really think a lot about Marichat. them just being dumb like. Marinette saying that Chat's puns are dumb and then laughing when Chat tells her a new one because he's so genuine and she can only laugh because 'how did you add cat to that?' you-ha!" Chat is a goofy comedy genius and it gets Marinette.every. time

and then Chat just has fun listening to Marinette's inspirational things while she's starting to doit something new. the excitement and the erratic way she immerses herself in every little thing. Adrien admires her a lot

Ladybug and Adrien are an important part of their personalities. Yeah. But Marinette and Chat Noir are the part of them that can allow themselves to be freer. So like freedom found, they both feel very comfortable with each other.

chit chat 2.0! 💖🐈‍⬛

[frostedpuffs]

it is so funny how ppl in this fandom consistently forget that the love square are the same two people. how tf can u say u hate one side of the square or dont ship it. THEYRE THE SAME TWO PEOPLE. HELLO

[groundrwalker]

I wasn't a marichat shipper since the START for nothing

[carlostck]

Ahh, I think I know what you're talking about. Knew it wasn't an actual bike pump, but was real funny imagery to me if it was, haha!

Marichat! You get me. Literally the superior version of their relationship (mainly because it has chat noir in it lol)! Ghghg them play-fighting was everything to me actually... I know it was used to get into a romantic position but they'd literally just do that to have fun like come on that's the best! Romance is lame, give me them genuinely being happy and having fun because what is a romantic relationship if they are not the best of friends

Haha! I get that... Leave my food on the stove all the time and end up burning it ('m a minor safety hazard). Haha!! That's great, glad you can enjoy yourself!!! Even when you gaffe!

White Mustang is back at it again and will not leave my brain!

How was your day today?

SO REAL. lana del rey brain rot is strong this time of year. back to the basics and off to the races cannot. ever leave my head. ur gonna get white mustang stuck in my head.

days been okay!!!! school is. school. as always but had fun in my kinesiology class!!!! we got to do vacuum splints!!! its super epiccc hddhsjsb my favorite class ever. we shall ignore my test scores forever tho. and we shall ignore the fact that i woke up at four and studied before i headed out to school. then proceeded to study every second of free time i got in my classes. yet still ended up with a 75. just happy its the weekend!!!! my friend is coming over in a bitttt and we might have a sleepoverrrr so im happy abt that!!!!! currently watching the mlb london special in my harumi cosplay. put it on like 30 minutes ago and i dont. wanna take it off ❤️ rambling now. anyway!!!!

HOW R UU!!!! how was ur day!!!!

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

okay i keep going on my Marichat bullshit about my miraculous rewrite (which i remember now I still haven't posted because yeaaahhhh i'm editing that bitch, i said i wouldn't but this is my rep on the line, not yours)

but i think I might make it so that, whilst Marichat will ALWAYS prevail, it's THE superior ship, Adrien and Mari do start with Ladrien. Just in a... crushing on an idolised version of someone before I become unmeasurable enamoured with their painfully flawed self

like they enjoy the the model and the superhero and all is well and good, innocent crushes. But they get the truly meaningful connection when Adrien's allowed to kick back and be an ass as Chat, and Mari gets to make mistakes as herself without risking, y'know, lives. They're both stupid idiot weirdos together and they start liking that more than the perfection they previously desired.

[shameboree]

Have you ever thought of an undercover Chat Noir in civilian form going on a date with Marinette and Marinette cannot believe that she can finally get to hold Chat's hand?!

this is PEAK braindead marichat romance i LOVE when adrien pulls insane dumbass shit like this!! every fic that uses this trope gives me anxiety while also refilling my entire health bar. chat being like Yes. Hello. It Is Me, Civilian Chat Noir, And Not Your Good Friend Adrien Agrest With A Mask And Tousled Hair. and marinette being like yeah totally this seems legit- that shit is good. whenever either of them get Romance Brain they immediately cease all other cognitive function and marichat is the most terminally braindead no impulse control corner of the lovesquare so this is TERMINAL. get them together and their prefrontal cortexes just rot into oblivion. i love them. good soup.

[marichatdeservesbetter]

his range>>>

[gameguy20100]

You said it buddy.

I'm really getting sick of Toxic Marichat stans acting like they're side is superior and all other sides are Toxic and unhealthy.

It's the same people you idiots! And stop with that "true selves" crap.

You all have the reading comprehension of damp sponges in bucket of coleslaw.

Y'all Ladrien didn't deserve you to make fun of it so much for not being as popular, it's not it's fault the writers won't give them screen time

[gentil-minou]

The irony that some of us have to now say Gabriel Agreste is our favorite episode, named for meow meow moth buttface

HAVENT WATCHED MIRACULOUS IN YEARS WYM THEY REVERSED THE LOVE SQUARE

[sunfoxfic]

Adrien didn't fall in love with Marinette's superhero self on accident. Marinette didn't fall in love with Adrien's civilian self on accident.

Reversing the love square without seriously developing their characters from where they started (or, often, outright changing their characters) is to fundamentally change what the love square is.

Adrien fell in love with Ladybug because he saw her at her most stressed out, where she felt like all eyes were on her and she'd never be able to fix her mistake, and then you know what she did? She picked herself back up and fixed her mistake.

Adrien went to school after that and fixed his mistake, too, by making things right with Marinette.

Marinette fell in love with Adrien because she saw his persistent kindness even after she'd decided she didn't like him. She saw the way he refused to reflect back the worst of her and decided to do the same. She made things right, too, by not judging him based on their first impressions (not to mention how that likely impacted her relationships with Chloé and Kagami).

They fell in love with the person they needed the most. The one they needed to be more like. If you change who they initially fell in love with, you change a fundamental part of why they fell in love, and you fundamentally change the love square.

But some of y'all aren't ready for that talk.
