#miraculous the gorilla

The Agreste household lineup with descriptions! Because all I do are character sheets nowadays and I might as well add a little flavor lol. Can you tell I had the most fun drawing Emilie? I love drawing pretty clothes what can I say...

I've been mostly sorting notes n stuff with my miraculous stuff cuz I just dumped everything into a single note in my notes app for a couple months so it's kinda a lot lmao

Also I watch a lot of the Bliss Foster YouTube channel and am trying to incorporate what I'm learning about high fashion there into the Agreste fashion stuff but I'm still a bit of a dumbie about it but I am trying my best!

Anyways have fun reading my large blocks of text! xx

The Gorilla and Marinette sitting in the tensest silence ever in the Agreste living room.

The Gorilla, slowly turning to Marinette: *In the thickest English accent* "Bad French?" Marinette, blushing as she drops her head: *In an equally thick accent* "Very... bad French..."

The both of them now bond by having to interpret all the Agreste family drama through vibes alone cause they have no idea what anyone is saying.

Miraculous Ladybug AU where, like in the deleted scene from the movie, Marinette only recently moved to Paris from China so she barely speaks any French. And all of Paris thinks Ladybug is this cold, calculating, silent badass cause she never speaks in interviews, leaving Chat Noir to do enough talking for both of them.

Until one day, Chat Noir is all like "My dear, dear, lady. We have been working together for so long, and I've come to believe we are close. But you never talk to me. You never respond to my jokes. You never consider my flirts. You never fill me in on your plans. Did I do something to upset you? Please, if so, let me atone. Let us be friends and partners, M'lady" And Ladybug just looks at him for a while before saying, in very broken French. "My... French... very bad..." and Chat Noir has to reconsider everything he thought he knew about Ladybug. Then they both realize they speak Mandarin Chinese and just start blabbering on and on to each other during fights and patrols.

Which then gives Adrien the idea to approach the weirdly quiet girl in his class to see if she maybe also doesn't know French. Blah blah, Adrien and Mari talk all the time and Marinette gets better at French cause of him.

From war vet to mercenary to super nanny, Placide has had some questionable career choices.

Marinette: Adrien won't have anyone to take care of him if you are gone.

Me:

Yes, even the photographer and fencing instructor. You guys don't even know how many of these I did. The Great Hiatus did something to me.

Do you know what I haven't seen people were talking about regarding the London Special trailer? Worried Gorilla!

Just look at him, how he reacts when Bug Noir talks to Adrien. He might not speak but his actions, gestures and expressions tell volumes about how he loves and cares for Adrien. We don't know how long he's been with the Agrestes, he probably watched Adrien growing up and so he won't quit his job even if his employer is already gone.

a chat noir im more happy with will probably change in the future because I’m never satisfied

[monpetitchattriste]

As fandom I don't think we talk enough about how Adrien has not only a Ladybug doll (which is obvious) but he also has a Chat Noir doll that he plays with.

THEM DOING EVERYTHING TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER

AND GORILLA HELPING THEM

“"Speaking of Gorilla, you probably heard that he was finally named in the "miraculous secrets” card game, and his name is “Placide I.T.” What do you think of that name?

Is that like a pun in French or something?“”

Yup, Frenchie here, the pronounciation of the whole name makes a (very, very poor’s man) Bart-Simspon-esque homophone of ‘placidité’ (English equivalent 'placidity’, and it sounds like English would have a similar homophone but for the way 'I’ alone is pronunced in this language).

As you can see, only the greatest and most original dep- heights of humor for this show… Could have been better staying nameless honestly.

So basically, they gave him a name like “Sy Lance”?

While a bit clunky (because Astruc and the writers probably didn’t have a backstory in mind when they first came up with Gorilla’s character, and because the English translation of the show opted to have it stated that everyone is speaking English in-universe despite following a bunch of French people living in France), I do love that Miraculous Ladybug essentially gave us an explanation for why Gorilla never speaks. In season 5, episode 24, Representation, Felix just offhandedly mentions that in addition to the magic jewelry and petty rivalry between his dad and Adrien’s, he also owes his existence to Colt handing over his best “knight” to serve as Adrien's protector in exchange for the use of the peacock miraculous. And just like that a light goes on: Gorilla doesn’t speak because he’s American. And not one that up and moved to a whole ass new country by choice! No one named names, but Gabriel didn’t leave any wiggle room for Colt to give him someone who already had an interest in relocation. Gabriel demanded the best of the best, and shucks to them if they don't speak the langauge! Poor Placide I.T. (aka, Gorilla before little kid Adrien decided to rename him) had his whole life derailed because Emilie wanted to help her sister have a baby, and Gabriel was too petty to do it without getting something in return, and we don’t even know if he knew a single word of French before being told to pack his bags.

It's so sad, but also kind of funny, because of course he’s probably learned the language over the years since becoming Adrien’s bodyguard. Even if he doesn’t feel confident or feel the need to speak, he can probably understand most of what’s said around him. But then we have characters like Marinette, who have a tendency to frantically vomited out words in sudden gusts that just get more and more rapid and embarrassing with every breath, and we can only assume that while she’s standing there mortified and hurriedly saying one thing and then another, Gorilla is actually just trying to pick out the last word he understood in all the mess.

He's not staring at her because he's rude or because he's judging her. He just can't understand her when she's talking so fast!
