#ml kwamis' choice spoilers

[its-us-against-the-world]

one day I’ll have to write a meta comparing and contrasting how relieved Marinette was when she realized someone else would take care of the akuma and it wasn’t her responsibility, to the sadness Adrien felt when he looked down at his hand without the ring and realized he couldn’t help.

It all goes back to how they view being hero and the concept of responsibility being thrust upon them

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.

the moral of miraculous ladybug is that you’re only safe if you turn of gps, because you truly never know who is tracking your phone

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.

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

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

this is the post i was talking about. just got confirmed by 5x10 Transmission that they're currently around June in the same school year as when Adrien first came to school.

@seizerofdarkness sorry for the delay. had to dig through my archive because the tumblr search wasn’t working (as usual)

ok so things we learned about the miraculous timeline from Determination (that I can now confirm, having watched the English dub): (side note: of course, this show doesn't really have a timeline, because it's not consistent enough, but this is a fun exploration anyway)

this episode is "a few days" after Strike Back (marinette says "a few days ago" her feelings for adrien caused her to lose the miraculous)

we are still in the same school year as the one that began in origins (marinette says "we've been schoolmates for months now" about adrien). because of Chris Master, however, we know that the "christmas holidays"[1] break has passed (which fits with it having been "months"). so we can conclude that they're in the second semester of that school year — somewhere from early January to early July.

implications of that second point

in the span of less than 9 months, marinette:

got a miraculous

heard there was a "guardian"

met the guardian

starting giving miraculous to her friends

accidentally lead a supervillain to the guardian, leading to him losing his memories and making her the new guardian

lost the miraculous

both marinette and adrien fell "unconditionally and irrevocably in love" with someone (adrien and ladybug, respectively) and then moved on within that same time period (to be fair that's just how teenagers are)

marinette confessed that she was ladybug to alya, who she has known for only a few months

in the same span of less than nine months, gabriel went through these stages: (in addition to the consistent one "asshole")

mourning his wife i guess? she was in his basement...

calling himself "hawk moth"

calling himself "the collector"

back to "hawk moth"

"scarlet moth"

back to "hawk moth"

becomes "shadow moth"

briefly "the collector" again? i haven't watched dearest family

back to "shadow moth"

"shadow noir" (timeline erased)

back to "shadow moth"

"monarch"

"the collector" again

back to "monarch"
