ML hot take: (Transmission)

(Spoilers below)

It makes complete sense for Marinette to give up her miraculous. It doesn’t make sense for Adrien to.

Okay so we know Marinette has been going through the struggle since season 3 finale.

Marinette is racked with guilt over failure and the stress of her love life. She is 14 and is dealing with a lot.

The amount of pressure she had to endure is enormous and it was taking a toll on her mentally. Not to mention she almost got akumatized recently and she can’t truly let herself feel sorrow or else monarch gets a win. So her depression and emotional state makes total sense.

Adrien’s does not.

Yes he probably feels guilty about what happened during Elation. Yes he is impulsive and will do dumb things for love. BUT, he has no idea ladybug would also be leaving her post. Chat noir/ Adrien Knows that Ladybug is emotionally vulnerable and he is a loyal partner. Not to mention HE ALREADY DID THIS!

Chat noir has quit being chat noir before. Sure this circumstance doesn’t have Plagg coming back. But him willingly accepting this does make Kuro Neko seem almost pointless.

So really it doesn’t make sense with how willingly he accepts Plagg leaving. Maybe if Plagg mentioned that Tikki was doing the same for Ladybug, then he could be able to accept it easier.

Marinette is so emotionally distraught with everything that her not putting much of a fight just shows how low in depression she is. That some relief of not having the world’s fate on her shoulders makes sense. She isn’t a liability anymore, she is allowed to emote again.

That’s my hot take

people complained SO MUCH about kitty noire's design but like. look at her

she has dip-dyed neon green hair and highlighter lipstick to match. she has entirely useless zippers on the upper part of her sleeves. her bangs are totally uneven and look like she did them herself with craft scissors. she's wearing a crop leather jacket over a leather undershirt and SUSPENDERS. zoe lee is 14 years old and designed her cat superhero oc to Kick Ass and if i was 14 i literally would have done the exact same thing

damn adrien and marinette are canon. like, they're actually canon. there's no reset, no memory loss, no alternate universe they're actually canon they confessed to each other and they are going to start dating like. we did it. it took seven - SEVEN - fucking yEARS (let me just repeat it cause i find it so incredibly hilarious: SEVEN !! YEARS) but we did it. god.

[aalissy]

Nahhh I’m sobbing I can’t believe Plagg actually killed himself to save the world 😭😭😭

[miraculouscataclyyysm]

This chaotic bastard really threw the miraculous at Zoe’s ankle and was like fetch

You know what just hit me like a truck?

Marinette at the end of the Paris special traveled through several universes and in all of them Chat Noir was the partner by her side

In all besides ONE universe where Scarabella and Kitty Noire had the Ladybug and Black Cat.

The Paris special took place before episode 4, so way before the Kwami Choice two parter. I wonder how Marinette felt whne she realized (or at least in the theoretical case of her realizing) that at that point the one and only universe became their reality too where Chat isn't by her side at all and that she has made alot of active choices to heavily contribute for it to end up this way.

I mean, she too literally CHOSE to leave and she already wanted to do it before Plagg initiated his plan. That happened. No way around it.

I wished the show wouldn't just throw in such awfully heavy implications without paying it off. I was glad that Marinette having seen Kitty Noire in another time line explains why Marinette didn't think of worrying about if this new Black Cat truly is a good person and not a bad one who happened to get her hands on Plagg after Chat renounced (though Alya isn't off the hook for this. She didn't even care to ask for a HERO NAME. The non-existent security around the Black Cat Miraculous from the two leader girls at the top of the hierarchy is just insanely irresponsible. Literally ANYONE could infiltrate the team as Black Cat through Adrien's isolation and be welcomed with open arms as long as they aren't straight up announcing themselves as the villain)

But now having realized that Marinette saw that she and Chat Noir are a team in so MANY universes besides ONE and it's exactly THAT one which ends up coming true through alot of her own decisions no less?

That's harsh. That is such a harsh thing to simply throw in there and then do nothing with. As if that wouldn't be an extremely crushing realization for her to have.

Same as Adrien being kamikotized into Celestial Cat who looks way too much like Chat Blanc and they just... did nothing with that. Marinette had NO reaction to it whatsoever.

Both kamikotizations came with such heavy baggage, but they just did nothing with it. It's just THERE.

plagg once again proving he’s the best kwami

[alteanroyals]

not to ruin the adrienette fest but... did they really give up their miraculous without saying goodbye to Chat/Ladybug?? Like am i the only one seeing the huge problem here???????? THEY ARE PARTNERS, THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS, THEY WOULDN'T DISAPPEAR WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE TO EACH OTHER OMG THEY ARE JUST FINE WITH IT??? NEVER SEEING THE OTHER AGAIN????? ALSO IMAGINE IF IT WAS ONLY ONE OF THEM WHO RENOUNCED THE MIRACULOUS WITH NO EXPLANATION TO THE OTHER ONE??? shut up this is awful i need a fic to cope with this

[biastromedae]

you came so far, you two little shits. im proud of you.

[geekgirles]

Y'know what? I think I'd prefer it, actually.

[gale-gentlepenguin]

I’m gonna say it.

Replace the whole Kwami’s choice episode arc with the Loveybug AU.

After the rejection instead of having her give up the miraculous, have her become Loveybug, and in response to Adrien feeling distracted as chat noir. He becomes Chat Walker again.

It would allow for growth and allows for the whole development of the reverse lovesquare.
