Hear Me, O' Goddess!

i love the role reversal with alya/nino and adrien/marinette. (the season started with adrien and marinette not knowing how to be a couple and second guessing everything and trying to emulate nino and alya and now towards the end of s6, we have nino lying to alya about not hating strawberry and not realizing the difference between debates and discussions and actual fighting because of his parents.) glad it ended with the honesty (a constant theme this season for obvious reasons) but the show tends to write this (mostly) super solid unrealistic teenage relationship between alya/nino so i'm always here for the few times they feel more realistic, even in very minor ways.

i also really like that they didn't sugarcoat the v real problems nino's parents had and it ended in them getting separated and that being the better solution for everyone involved, including their children. i hate when shows gloss over serious relationship issues for the sake of "keeping families together" when it's obvious every single person involved would be better off if they didn't so that was nice.

yay nino character exploration and and a very cool carapace transformation.

marinette finally getting a superhero transformation with one ponytail! she looked so cute, i'm a fan.

it was hilarious watching adrien and marinette pretend they had no clue how to be heroes and were seeing kwamis for the first time. also hilarious as hell because adrien knew marinette was lying because he knew she was multimouse and marinette knew he was lying too, since he was aspik. that part where plagg made fun of him for pretending to be scared of being a hero and called him quite the actor, i died laughing.

i am obsessed with how trionyx's hair is the most parisian fashion model-like hair adrien has ever had.

Adrien: Trionyx is a genus of softshell turtles belonging to the family Trionychidae. In the past many species in the family were classified in this genus, but today T. triunguis, the African or Nile softshell turtle, is the only extant softshell still classified as Trionyx…

Soooo… I guess we won’t get Adrien revealing his identity to Nino. :(

But honestly this scene felt very significant. Adrien probably doesn’t want someone else to feel the guilt he feels about not being there to save his dad.

Also, Ladybugs reaction does feel very telling, too. I’m not sure exactly what she is thinking in this moment, but it probably has something to do with the burden she is carrying as Ladybug.

I dont think Adrien was fully ‘acting’ here like Plagg joked

Chat has been concerning me this season, learning that he is now afraid to tell Ladybug who he is (wreckless driver), fearing his own powers (lady chaos, although he has been fearing them for a while), and now not wanting to burden anyone else with being a superhero.

Early Chat Noir desperately wanted ladybug to know who he was, he was a lot more confident with his powers, and he would have leaped at the chance to have a buddy that can tap in when he’s not there.
