Something about the history book on the shelf.

We’re more alike than you think.

I hope we get a scarf reveal soon. I feel like, with the inevitable “Gabriel was Monarch and Marinette lied about it” reveal, it could be interesting for Adrien to have a “Marinette made this scarf and never told me it wasn’t a gift from my dad” reveal. Because the scarf is an AGGRESSIVELY saner example of Marinette keeping something hidden for the sake of Adrien’s feelings; it could possibly help him see her motivations in a different context and be more forgiving when he realizes the truth about his father

Miraculous London Edge of Time or Neon Genesis End of Evangelion?

Not to mention some bonuses that aren’t from the special but are still relevant:

Thinking about the symmetry of Catwalker and Loveybug.

Yes, they’re both just a version of their civilian selves, but those versions have been pushed to extremes. For Catwalker, he’s the embodiment of perfection and doing what he’s told, but Adrien the civilian often pushes back against being controlled. For Loveybug, she the embodiment of daydreams and affection, but Marinette the civilian is often gets in her own way of fulfilling her romantic dreams.

But these two aren’t just mirroring their own civilian selves, they’re also mirroring their superhero partner. Like Ladybug, Catwalker is focused on the mission above all else and tries to be professional. Like Chat Noir, Loveybug wears her heart on her sleeve and indulges in grand romantic gestures at inappropriate moments.

And this new version of the heroes is simultaneously all their partner thinks they want, and yet not at all what they truly need. Catwalker can help her carry her burdens, but he can’t be the partner who knows Ladybug well enough to be her best friend. Loveybug can shower him with affection, but she can’t be the partner Chat Noir knows well enough to love him for the real him.

And even when you remove the partner they know from the equation and just have it be Catwalker and Loveybug, they still find themselves drawn to each other. Loveybug knows from prior experience that Catwalker is a total sweetheart and is exactly the sort of boy she’d drool over if she didn’t have Chat Noir and/or Adrien. Catwalker knows from prior experience that Loveybug is totally lovey-dovey and is exactly the sort of girl he’d want to have close to him if he didn’t have Ladybug and/or Marinette.

And both are internally screaming just being transformed like this. Catwalker is stressed over having to force himself to conform to a strict standard for Ladybug’s approval, but he thought that having this clean slate would let him be by her side after facing rejection. Loveybug is stressed that letting loose on her emotions so much will be lead to a mortifyingly embarrassing rejection, but she thought that having this clean slate would let her act on her feelings for once without having to worry about long term consequences.

And in our scenario where Catwalker and Loveybug have become partners, it’s only a matter of time before they both crack from pushing their identities to their limits (her from showing a boy more love than her comfort zone has ever allowed, him from restraining himself from reciprocating the love he desperately wants). And once those cracks finally show? Then they’ll be able to see—just a bit more fully—who their partner has been hiding under the mask all this time.

KAGAMI TSURUGI - THEN vs NOW

[chengagreste]

"If you smile a lot around them, make an effort to look good when you see them, mirror their body language, and turn your body towards them, those are all signs that you’re falling in love."

season five - determination // passion

[miraculous-floconfettis]

End of season 4 vs. end of season 5 😰

Let's not forget that Lucifer used to be an angel called Lucifel (literally "the one who carries the light") who fell from Heaven and became the Devil.

EDIT: Also Adrien / Chat Blanc / Celestial Cat being often represented in white and/or with wings is clearly linked to this theory and I'm deeply convinced he's going to break down sooner or later. From Lucifel to Lucifer.

[vestsfriends]

I don’t think anybody realized this while watching Illustrhater, but I got major flashbacks to ‘Truth’ in Season 4. It seems like it’s happening all over again, and since there’s more superheroes, (meaning Adrien won’t have to leave to transform as often), Adrien is going to notice Marinette disappearing. I’m calling it, something akin to Lukanette in early Season 4 is gonna happen; but probably slower since Adrien’s got a lot on his mind.

Guys marigami is so homumado coded its crazy

-Madoka/Marinette= clumsy sunshine babies

-Homura/Kagami= awkward cool girls

-magical girls

-is Marinette being Ladybug/the Guardian not her being completely self-sacrificial to save the world, like Madoka becoming god to save all magical girls for eternity?

-Homura is a girl who seems very stoic and emotionless, even harsh and offputting to others, when on the inside she is actually kind, very emotional, and feels deeply- much like who exactly in mlb???

-the way Homura fixated on/devoted herself to Madoka bc she was her first friend who opened her up to others; hello Marinette being Kagami's first gf who was THE friend to open her up to other people, while still remaining her best friend above them

-now lets think of all the times Kagami has been akumatized from feeling possessive over her s/o, possessive like how Homura selfishly took Madoka away from the magical girls who had only her as their savior????

-Kagami has gotten straight up akumatized bc Marinette wasn't talking to her in Perfection; much like Homura being corrupted as a witch bc of her sadness at Madoka's absence in the world????

IS IT JUST ME????? HELLO????
