alex hirsch going rogue… king shit

So, so far we know that Gabriel is not a good father and has been abusive and neglectful towards Adrien while also maintaining that he loves Adrien and wants to protect him. We know Gabriel is a sad excuse of a parent, but in the show many characters including Adrien believe that Gabriel is a complex man who does love Adrien.

While the fact of the matter is Gabriel has absolutely gone off the deep end after becoming Monarch. Having that false hope in Evolution that he could save Emilie by using the bunny miraculous just further his descent into madness. From that moment I believe we saw two things that became true:

That Gabriel is very willing to risk somebody dying so Emilie can return and (this is what I believe) that deep down Gabriel knows it will probably be Adrien and he doesn't care.

That Gabriel was going to go and prevent past Emilie from using the miraculous to bring Adrien to existence which I believe is what we were seeing played out.

He failed. He lost the opportunity to reverse everything and he knows all that remain is the truth of what he was willing to do for Emilie. Now without Emilie here, Adrien is growing more and more into his own person. He has wants, wishes, desires that Gabriel can no longer repress as easily. Adrien has now also showed his defiance in doing what his father wants him to do by switching places with Felix to stay home. Adrien is his own person and that makes him a nuisance.

And to top it all off Gabriel lost Nathalie who has been Adrien's primary caretaker and Gabriel's trustee to the secret of Adrien's sentimonster nature. Gabriel is done. Gabriel is done with Adrien he is too much for him, Adrien is uncontrollable and a constant reminder that Emilie is gone.

- there is 0 mention of why emilie fell into a coma or anything meaningful about you-know-who being sentimonster(s).

- gabriel redemption 🥴

- marinette finds out gabriel's identity but adrien will never find out 🥴

- lila is the next hawk moth (her name is chrysalis); apparently she has fake identities and fake moms??? she's 14 btw!

- adrien gets his kwagatama; apparently you can communicate with past holders with it??

- chloe is irredeemable and evil bla bla, adrien breaks off their friendship forever

- marinette begins to fall for chat noir... because adrien is too perfect and scrambles her mind. ROMANCE y'all!

- luka just fucks off to brazil to study with su-han???

- zoe has a crush on marinette. she also gets the black cat miraculous for an episode 😑

- for the nathalie enjoyers: the woman met the agrestes bc she was a magical artefacts hunter??

- my boy adrien apparently cataclysms a human in 'destruction'???

- adrienette kiss at the end of episode 23.

- it's been real y'all.
