All my episode centric mlb art I made while season 5 was airing (in order of the episodes I drew them for)

[rainbow-arrow]

"So you don't know me completely either, and yet we're still close friends, right?"

"I don't know what I'd do without you."

the most criminally underrated friendship in this entire show

[ijustliketoreadstuff]

Luka couldn’t let Adrien make his mistake.

Even though Luka knows he and Adrien were talking about Marinette hiding something even she doesn't fully understand is causing her so much distress, hearing Adrien say "I wonder if you can love someone fully if you don't know them completely", hit Luka hard since he now knows Marinette's hidden life as Ladybug interfered with their relationship back in "Truth". Luka wanted to know what she was hiding to better help her and sort out the troubles between them, but now that he knows it was Marinette's duty as a hero that left her no other choice but to end their relationship, Luka realizes that Adrien cannot afford to make the same mistake he did by constantly worrying and wondering about what Marinette could be hiding. 

 (Marinette broke up with Luka back in "Truth" due to the risks of her hero life)

    Knowing now that Adrien and Marinette are currently unaware of each others secret identities as Ladybug and Cat Noir, Luka is worried they will face a rough patch in their relationship the more they realize they are hiding things from each other, so in order to ease Adrien's worry, Luka explains to him that its very common for someone to not know another person completely immediately, everyone acts differently when they are in the presence of others, everyone has all sorts of sides to themselves others don't know about just yet, but that doesn't change how they see each other. 

     Luka has all sorts of sides Adrien has not seen yet, but that doesn't change the fact that they are good friends. Adrien in turn knows people are not yet aware of his more clownish personality, its a part of himself he only tends to express when he is Cat Noir, but that doesn't change the fact that people know he is a kind hearted person. And even though Adrien is unaware of what Marinette is hiding that is causing her so much distress to the point of preventing her from accepting his affection and confessing her feelings, it doesn't change the fact that they are already aware that they love each other and want to get to know each other, its just going to take time to learn and understand the parts of each other they don't know about just yet, but they will eventually.

Aahh so we are finally addressing this!

[uptoolateart]

I love the double meanings to the script for Migration:

Blatantly what the two of them need to do, to break free of this love square business.

Classic Adrien, reaching out to support her, as Adrien or as Cat Noir.

Marinette trying to do it all alone, as usual...but you know, in a way, she does need to figure things out for herself...with support. Every time someone says to Luka, ‘What would I do without you?’ I think, ‘It’s important to have people you can speak to, but you also have to be responsible for yourself.’

If by ‘keys’ you mean ‘Marinette’, then yeah, totally.

This was beautiful because Adrien feels like he’s finding himself, at last, and only worries about Marinette because he can see that she’s struggling with something that’s making her unhappy. He doesn’t need her to be perfect. He just wants her to feel happy.

Obviously, this was all about Marinette’s secret identity (without Adrien being aware of it). What I really liked was this scene that happened later, between Luka and Ladybug...

She didn’t hear him the first time he called her Marinette - but this line meant more than just that. She’s often so caught up in her worries or schemes that she doesn’t hear what others around her are saying (think of Season 4 when Cat offered to be a listening ear after her breakup with Luka, but she kept brushing him off).

But more than that - she’s not listening to herself, to her inner music.

That’s what this whole episode was about. When victims got hit and turned into records, they sang their inner songs.

Gold Record quipped, ‘In space, no one can hear you sing.’ Aside from being a reference to ‘Alien’, it also made me think no one can hear your inner music if you hide away in a vacuum. That’s kind of what Marinette’s been doing. She’s afraid to face herself.

I have more to say on that, but I’ll keep it in another post before this gets overly long.

Please no post-Migration spoilers in the comments - I am watching in order. Thank you :)

S5 is such a great season to have Felix, Kagami and Luka as your Top 3 💜❤️💙

[mxrizza]

(Post-migration)

Adrien: hey, Luka, what was my childhood dream?

Luka: you wanted to be whatever your parents wanted you to be.

Adrien:

Luka: …you ok?

Adrien: *sniff* YEAH

[presidentalpaca]

i wish when ladybug and chat noir were together with luka at the end of the akuma battle he wouldve visualized them as marinette and adrien. the reverse of what happened earlier

[kiichikonoes]

MLB S5 SPOILERS

Can you handle this??? I can’t

The way she realized. And he just looked so pained and like “I’m going to have to deal with it” and “I honestly don’t know what to do or how to feel. I’m sorry” and the little shrug and I’m so UPSET. The shared look at the end between all them three???

But, honestly. This ep?? Character development for Luka. He listened, understood Marinette’s feelings, realized how he handled it wasn’t right, gave confidence to Adrien and his whole double persona issue and gave them confidence to take time with each other.

Luka was also always a big mediator. He didn’t care if anyone wronged him because he was so down to earth until it hurt someone else. But, he wasn’t going to go so far as to let someone else control his life. The Luka from before would’ve never let his mom throw that producer off the boat ahahah.

[trashcankitty12]

Normally I'm not into women who have kids because I'm not sure how good of a parent I would be, but damn Anarka could be the exception.

Luka is the therapist friend. He should find one for himself. (Or was that Sass?)

Bob Roth getting constantly tossed overboard was beautiful. But i just know if it wasn't a kid's show, Anarka would be beating the shit out of him

Gabriel.... Dude. How many times do they have to tell you that you're a fucking loser?

I love Fang. He was so proud of himself about eating contracts.

(JuleRose! Penny and Jagged! Hell yes!)

Best reveal yet too, as far as the identities go.

Poor Adrien though. Who's he gonna talk too now? (Maybe he could call somehow? Secretly? Idk.)

Also was it just where I watched or did the English dub of Bob Roth get to "swear"? I swear i heard him threaten to make their lives hell if Luka didn't sing. (Also why wasnt he obsessed with Juleka too? She's fucking Jagged's daughter. Which seems to often be forgotten.)

[arjengelly]

I wish they’d stop making Luka so pale!

Also this is my only Zoka/Lukzoe crumb 🥲

[unikittythings]

This is going to be slightly out of order because the episodes released later than a few I've already written about? 🤷‍♀️🤔

MLB season 5 Migration:

Love that my boy Luka is in the thumbnail

You better pay Luka for the therapy sessions he gives you guys🤦‍♀️

Luka is the single person who keeps everything and everyone together

I did scream at the screen, that they should read the contract and I was right

I guess Luka can't keep the secret for long anymore

He's so fed up with them not getting a hint

So no more Luka😢 (he does deserve a break tho)

Derision:

Someone's going to have a breakdown

REALLY?!! Wrong time Gabe!

Omg, Chloe is even more evil than I thought. I didn't think that was a possibility

Omg she had a crush on Kim

This actually explains soo much about Marinette

Sooo close

Intuition:

Natalie, don't help him. I thought we made progress

Actually it makes sense that he tried using Second Chance multiple times and we didn't notice

Natalie: make arrangements and spend time with your son

Gabriel: How about I plan a new scheme to get the miraculous

(Alternatively) Gabriel: How about I speedrun declining physical health

Wtf? Is this what happens when you somehow program emotions into an AI?

Is ZAG trying to tell us something about AI?

As we can see here again Second Chance is very difficult to get right

Poor Natalie, she had to drag is stupid ass upstairs

[rainbow-arrow]

jokes i made in my fanfiction that turned out to be canon:

-luka having fake gauges

[ijustliketoreadstuff]

Luka learned the hard way that even though anyone can change,not everyone wants to. Jagged was willing to sacrifice his rich lifestyle to commit to being a better father, while Bob was not as willing to make similar sacrifices to be a better person/record producer.

[roro59]

i swear to god i will never watched derision. EVER. and don't get even me started on marinette in this episode. and what else? ehh, nothing much besides the fact that migration is way better then this shit.
