Headcanon: Adrien Agreste is Trans? (Part 6)

First things first: Happy pride month to everyone in the community!

If you’ve followed my blog for a while or fallen down the rabbit hole of this headcanon at some point, you’ll know I’ve supported it for a long time. Sooo, welcome to part 6 of the Adrien being trans headcanon.

Here are the other parts of this headcanon if you’d like to read those: part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5

Usual disclaimer: this is just for fun! Obviously cis boys can have these same qualities and traits. Don’t take it too seriously. These are all just things I’ve noticed. Also, I use the term "sentibeings" vs "sentimonsters" because I personally feel the canon term has a negative, dehumanizing connotation - please keep that in mind, too!

Sentibeings develop their own lives & identities

I feel like this shouldn't have to be said, but in case anyone feels Adrien being a senti-human debunks the hc, I'm writing this as an important reminder. Although they were developed through a miraculous power, Adrien, Felix, and Kagami are very much still human. Felix has made it clear that people of his kind are dehumanized, seen as "monsters," and taken advantage of which is something that upsets him greatly, and rightfully so.

This in itself is sadly something a lot of trans people can relate to. We're often dehumanized for not being "normal" and having unique/different identities in comparison to cis people who identify with their assigned birth gender.

But, I do want to focus more on the fact that sentibeings who were developed into humans are humans, meaning they develop and function the same way all humans do because this is important when talking about this hc. Adrien can still very much be trans considering he's a human with his own life and identity.

Felix had the dramatic presentation of him and Adrien's life story. Yes, he addressed Adrien being a boy the whole time, but also consider that he's going to respect his cousin's identity if he is trans. If this headcanon was in fact canon, Adrien would very much be closeted, and it isn't up to Felix to reveal his identity to others. Saying Adrien was born and raised a girl would not have added anything to the backstory, anyhow.

Gabriel could be controlling for other reasons, too

As we are all aware, Gabriel is a very controlling parent. We're directly shown that he's this way because Adrien is a sentibeing who he can control through his ring, and he's an evil, narcissistic person who doesn't care about others, including his own son. However, it is very much possible that there are other underlying reasons why he's as controlling as he is, let alone towards his own son. Like, why would he not love his own son?

There could obviously be hundreds of underlying reasons why Gabriel is so careless and controlling, but one of them could be that he may not love his son since he's trans. I briefly mentioned in part 3 of the hc that Gabriel could be unaccepting of Adrien being trans, so I'm going to build off of that.

Gabriel may not have always been quite as controlling and neglectful. Maybe before Adrien transitioned, he was a gentler, more caring father. However, we're shown in Wishmaker (yes, I know I always reference this episode lol) from Adrien's perspective, that his parents have always had certain expectations of him, most of which he's followed. So, if Adrien went against their expectations and transitioned to be their son instead of their daughter, that could've easily set Gabriel off (maybe even Emilee too, for all we know).

Why does Adrien tolerate the way Gabriel treats him?

To build further off of my last section, Adrien is aware of his father's terrible behavior and accepts it for what it is throughout a good portion of the series. But, why does he tolerate and accept it? There could be many reasons why, but I'm going to focus on two particular possibilities.

First of all, I also mentioned in part 3 that Gabriel seems like the type who'd gaslight Adrien, saying things like, “you have it so good here! I didn’t kick you out and I use your right name and pronouns!" If he is like that, that could be what makes Adrien so tolerable of his controlling behavior. He may allow this neglect and control because his father is "accepting" of his identity, enough to use the right name and pronouns.

OR, maybe Adrien thinks his behavior is acceptable due to internalized transphobia. Internalized transphobia is sadly a very common thing trans people experience. If this is something he feels, he may think it's right of his father to be unaccepting because "trans people (like me) are not worthy of others' acceptance."

Adrien's vision of the ideal man

This is another thing I've talked a bit about, but I think it's important to talk about in depth.

We see Adrien in many different identities. The ones I'm going to focus on in particular are himself, Cat Noir, and Cat Walker.

Adrien seems to have this idealistic vision in his mind of what an ideal man is supposed to be like. When he plays his role as Cat Noir, he's very over-the-top: flirtatious, strong, protective, destructive. It doesn't mirror how he acts normally, which as we see is the version of him that conforms to most of his parents' expectations. And, when he plays the role of Cat Walker -since he got the sense that Cat Noir was neither an ideal man nor heroic partner for Ladybug- he tones a lot of that down and acts the way he feels she'd like him best for, very laidback, a bit seductive, and helpful, following her ideas.

Why does he have these odd, idealistic versions of what a man should be and tosses his identity around so much? Let me explain.

Adrien hasn't had a good father figure in his life. So he most likely has had to develop this idealistic version of what a man is and follow that, switching it when he has the ability to live his second life as a hero without needing to conform to his father's standards. Adrien wants to be a man but he has no one to follow for that, especially if one of the main reasons for his father's neglect is due to unacceptance of him being trans, Gabriel will hold back as much as possible on being a good father figure and being a positive influence in his growth into manhood.

Inu and Neko Swap

A Miraculous Ladybug Kuro Neko swap au based around the traitor Adrien/Cat Noir idea. May have an ooc, Felix. I haven't watched season five much and don't know how he treats the Kwami.

Basically, Felix finds the Black Cat ring, possibly the wind blowing it away before Ladybug can find it, and discovers that Adrien is Cat Noir via Plagg accidentally mistaking him for Adrien and saying his name.

Hearing this gives him an idea of how to get Gabriel to hand over the Graham de Vanily rings. He heads back to the mansion to meet with his dear uncle. However, instead of giving Gabriel the ring right away, Felix makes a deal with his uncle that he'll act as a spy and help Gabriel claim the Ladybug Miraculous in exchange for the rings.

Que the next few Akumas. While pretending to be Cat Noir after forcing Plagg to reveal about transforming, Felix starts to make purposeful mistakes to mess with Ladybug and the other Miraculous users. He may even flirt with other Miraculous users to mess with them and the team dynamics.

From the sidelines, Adrien watches the way the new Cat Noir acts and how much it seems the team is getting annoyed with him. Seeing this could play on his insecurities at the time of not being needed for a while. However, maybe seeing his behavior from an outside perspective while it's being amplified to a worse degree is what he needs to grow as a hero. It leads him down the line of thinking, "Was I that bad?"

Fast forward to the season four finale, where Ladybug gives the Dog Miraculous to Adrien. This time, she doesn't mess up and gives the real Adrien the Dog Miraculous. When Adrien first gets the Miraculous, his persona is similar to Cat Walker. Ladybug can think it's because of his failure with the Snake last time or ask if he's okay, and Adrien explains that he doesn't want to be a burden to the team like Cat Noir. This causes Ladybug to possibly defend her partner and inadvertently reveal she cares about him still to the real Cat Noir while also trying to get Adrien to loosen up and not force himself.

Hearing this helps Adrien a lot. But he still doesn't want to be a burden to the team and starts learning how to develop a middle ground to his Cat Noir and Dog Hero persona during season five's events.

Speaking of season five, since Felix doesn't have the Dog, Gabriel doesn't get his hands on the other Miraculous. Taking away that plot. However, instead of that. Maybe you can have season four be the season where Ladybug lets the other users keep their Miraculous. So instead of the canon plot, the plot changes to 'Cat Noir' revealing his true colors and stealing the Miraculous one by one during Akuma attacks or by following the users while Adrien tries to discover a middle ground and figure out who he is.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

SUPER SUPER EXCITED TO POST THIS BC I MADE THIS BACK IN LIKE JANUARY and felt too bad to post it until emotion was watchable in chronological order BUT here is Felix and (almost) every senti in all their glory!! 🦚💖💕💖💕

[bittersweetresilience]

adrien often being referred to in fanon as “sunshine” and the sun and something about Felix having Moon symbolism. is this anything sunny?

sentitwin sun moon symbolism is absolutely ridiculous. i have thought about it before but never gotten anywhere. this time i consulted @ninadove about it and rotated it in my mind for many hours and i am still not sure about my verdict. therefore i'm just going to ramble a bit and then pass it over to nina. birthday teamwork!

i started out agreeing with the assignment of adrien as the sun and félix as the moon.

their personalities seem to fit the vibes. moreover, it ties into yin and yang.

adrien's miraculous is placed on the yang half of the miracle box, and ladybug's on the yin. his hair is parted to the right, which is the direction of yang, while félix's and ladybug's are parted to the left, yin.

a brief tangent here: even though the placement in the miracle box and adrien and marinette's civilian selves with their white and black outer garments respectively seem to indicate yang and yin, when they become heroes, they swap entirely. ladybug wears red, yang, and chat noir wears black, yin. their powers of creation and destruction are also yang and yin. my theory is that not only are adrien and marinette meant to be halves of a whole as partners, but their hero selves are also meant to halves of a whole with their civilian selves. yin and yang symbolism all around.

back to adrien as sunshine. before félix was introduced, adrien was established as the character in the show with the disney princess golden hair and golden smile, so it's easy to see where this fanon came from.

marinette describes her love for him as three suns in her heart.

then if we want to pair the sentitwins, and we think adrien is the sun, it makes sense for félix to be the moon.

some final evidence in support of this is mirror imagery. the same way the moon reflects the light of the sun, félix reflects adrien. both in his creation as a reflection of adrien's and in his behavior in the show. félix dresses as adrien in over half of his episodes.

but this picture is complicated by several factors. there's a fair amount of evidence that the twins are actually associated the other way around, with adrien as the moon and félix as the sun.

gold and silver color symbolism. one could easily think of gold as the sun and silver as the moon, but in the show, félix and the graham de vanilys are associated with gold and adrien and the agrestes are associated with silver. the wedding rings, the colors of their homes, their camouflaged miraculous, the lighting... anarchist gang talked about this a few months ago and i think nina may want to expand on what we discovered, so i will leave this to her.

another brief tangent here: white and black color symbolism. i have not fleshed out my thoughts on it but i am leaving notes here for future reference. adrien's civilian outfit features white, but this likely reflects gabriel's influence on him. his hero selves wear black. meanwhile, félix is introduced dressed in black and haloed in white as he enters gabriel's sphere. in the play, it's the opposite. at the diamonds' dance, he and marinette wear white and kagami, like lune rouge, wears red. obfuscation? femininity? yin and yang again?

and a third brief tangent here: when chat noir is unhealthy, he becomes chat blanc, who is white, and patte de velours, who is accented with gold. colors of entanglement? of influence? of inauthenticity? are félix's best parts adrien's idea of a perfect self? i am contemplating.

there are more significant reasons for moon adrien and sun félix. in important moments of the show, adrien is frequently associated with the moon. glaciator, chat blanc, kuro neko, new york special... and on the other hand, where does the sun play an important part of the story? in réplique, with félix.

narratively, sentitwins seem to have moon and sun roles. adrien is the one from whom things are hidden, while félix is the one who shines light on the truth. adrien spends most of his time as support, while félix is an active agent. adrien reacts to things, while félix makes them happen, for better or for worse.

nina has an entire essay on félix and the development of his sun associations from lune rouge to the sunrise in représentation, so i'll leave that to her to discuss.

all right. sentitwins are either sun and moon or moon and sun. what does this mean for them?

it intrigues me that adrien is viewed by fanon as the sun when he could be better described as the moon. adrien agreste enjoyers, please get on this.

here is a starting point for your thoughts. if adrien is the moon, it makes sense why he destroyed the moon in chat blanc when he was trying to destroy himself.

and if félix is the sun, it further puts into perspective why he felt guilty about réplique's fate. they were a sacrifice for his goals. he may has well have literally killed them.

role reversal and false impressions are prominent in sentitwins and this complicated picture adds to that.

frequently bought together. do not separate.

in conclusion, yes, autumn, this is most certainly something. fuck if i know what it is, but i love losing my mind about it.

Over/underhyped:

Fallout New Vegas: Honest Hearts and Nyan Neko Sugar Girls

Over: Honest Hearts. People let this DLC get away with so much just because the voice acting on Joshua Graham is good. It's just fucking racist, though.

Under: NNSG. NNSG represents a type of humor that I really wish survived into the modern day better: loud = funny. No, but really though, it had a developed sense for what it aims to parody, and the mockery is done not out of vitriol, but out of appreciation. Plus, Rakku-chan soloes fiction.

[nezumithewriter]

Nez. I need you to know I am obsessed with Squissistant and Dev (even tho I’m a little behind on Dev’s stuff rn, ooops). I still have that holdable paper doll of Squissistant

Literally your ocs are so cool!!!!! I need to figure out the lore agagsgdhddhbsnd it’s so interesting what you come up with <3

Anyways, what are some other ocs you have for non-squip-rp stuff?

AAAAAAAAAA LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!!!! *explodes*

but seriously thank you i've been kind of out of it for doing things but i'm planning on continuing the story soon!!! 🫂

As for your question OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PANDORA'S BOX YOU JUST OPENED HAPPI

I have way too many ocs and stories related to those ocs but i'll bring up the highlights

Blaire Caddel (HELIANUS) is a terrifying anthro gazelle-spider thing that eats people and is a musical theater nut and i love her. She's the main antagonist of the story I have her in and she rolls around in my head always. I NEED to draw her and I NEED to actually talk more about her world

Oliver Graham (CHAOS CAFÉ) is a normal teenager who gets sent to a void full of monsters and a cafe and slowly starts spiraling after managing to get out. Here's some art of them now but it's very very old like 2021 old i think

Michael Flud (SEPTEMBER 23RD) is one of my oldest characters and one of the ones that has gone through the most changes. He literally came to me in a dream. Originally his story was about alien technology and dumb teenagers getting taken over by it but then it changed into something I can only call "a multiverse fantasy about the death of the artist". This universe is also where my persona lives

Maya Smith (DEATHWALK) is a person I'VE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT FOR YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS ABOUT HER AND HER WORLD. She's a girl who got kidnapped as a baby by a cult called "The Church of God's Tears" and is raised believing in its practices. She's friends with two other people in the church, Helen nolastname and Claudia Lalima. Maya and Helen eventually find eachother very close and secretly have a lesbian love story under the very homophobic cult's nose. This is eventually found out (also Maya saw something she shouldn't have seen) and she's killed in cold blood by Father Liam in secret.

She later wakes up in a void with four other people; Daichi Higake, Neko Satsujin, Maku Sajidō, and Jared Incendis, all of whom I could ramble about for hours on as well. This is where the story actually begins and the group has to find a way through multiple rooms and dimensions until they find a way out of this strange place (they don't know they're dead). All the while, a plot from a third party source unravels around them, and the gamemaster of their misfortune, Adaline, continues to torment them throughout.

here's a picture of maya please ask me more about Deathwalk i'm begging

Conepaw (WINGBEAT OF A KESTREL) is an apprentice of Kestrelclan and I need to start that comic istg!! She's the adopted daughter of the deputy and wants to grow up to be just like her. But because of a certain horrors™️ she finds she's never going to grow up, even though she lives and breathes. This is all based on a clangen play through and Library of Ruina, specifically Love Town

and that's all i can think of rn!!!!!! please please please feel free to ask about any of the stories here (except for september 23rd i'm keeping that one a secret) cause I love to yap!!! i want to yap so badly!!!

Kuro Neko gone wrong prompt.

We know how Adrien and Félix used to trick everyone by switching themselves, maybe even making them think they switched when they're not.

So... what if Adrien used that trick in Kuro Neko?

He knows his cousin isn't his friends favorite person, to the point to even make Ladybug mad at him when she met him. His idea is to use his new hero persona as an experiment, to test how much Ladybug will miss him when having another partner; the catch is simple, he is gonna copy Félix's mannerism in order to trick Ladybug into thinking he is someone else.

Plagg even said the plan is fool's proof, because "how would Ladybug will prefer a boring stoic kid as Félix when she had charming and funny Chat Noir at her side?"

However, he's not gonna trick her into thinking he is Félix exactly, but use his cousin's usual personality and actions as a base for Catwalker.

Someone stric, serious, intelligent and independent who would never joke around in battle. He expected Ladybug to miss him, but never to see her so calm, focused and much determined now that she's not doing twice the work.

She may or may not deveload feelings for Catwalker, depends if you want a romantic or platonic Felinette route, but she likes him enough to accept him as a partner now that Chat Noir is suposed to be retired. That doesn't mean she isn't feeling down because she misses her friend, however.

Imagine how hilarious could be for Ladybug to connect way wrong the dots and assume Félix is the actual Catwalker, acting nice around him while not so subtle trying to "hide her discovery of his identity", just for the real Félix to be afraid of her, thinking she will punch him in the face again.

Marinette is even interested to befriend him as a civilian, talking to him and noticing how both boys have the same conversation topics: cinefile taste, books, theatre and fashion. Yeah, Adrien knows his cousin's favorite movies, books and musicals.

Plagg is distressed that his plan gone so wrong, but Tikki is happy to see her bug having a new friend over.
