I'm going to grab all of your hands and remind you that in a relationship, someone CAN'T be the other's therapist
That's why Luka and Marinette didn't work out. He was so absorbed in doing nothing, in trying to fix things, waiting for Marinette to become someone that loved him, that he never loved the real Marinette. And he ended up going to another continent because of that.
And the thing is that Adrien and Marinette work because they are the same amount of crazy. He is as obsessed as Marinette is but we only saw glimpses of that with Chat Noir (because of the sentirings). Now that he is fully free, we can see him as fully chaotic
AND WE NEED HIM AS AN ENABLER OF MARINETTE
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP, NOT A THERAPY SESSION
It needs to be different from how Alya and Luka are to Marinette because girl is suicidal and a defeatist. Marinette doesn't have a plan regarding Gabriel's secret, whenever she asks for solutions she is shone away by adults who should be responsible for that or by her friends who are better emotionally (to an extent).
See when Ladybug lost the miraculouses because of Felix. You know who helped her by not shoving her away but by supporting her and listening? Chat Noir
Marinette needs her Chat Noir. Adrien needs to be her Chat Noir because then, again, it becomes another Luka situation
I'm not saying that Adrien is going to be happy and smiling knowing that Marinette lied. But you are taking for granted Adrien's ability to understand and be emotionally intelligent if you think he is going to blame her fully for that.
BECAUSE👏 HE👏WAS👏A👏VICTIM👏 OF👏GABRIEL👏 SAME👏AS👏MARINETTE👏IS
And he knows he is a victim. Adrien is 100% aware he is a victim but since he was the only one hurt he is trying to shove it away. Now, what happens when he recognizes another victim? That Gabriel actually hurt someone else?
He will be finally be able to move on and not try to forgive his father and fight for himself
We need Adrien to fight for Marinette because it means fighting against the abussive system that started it all. Because it's about the victims (Félix and Kagami included) and not just punishing somebody else that can't be even punished since he is dead.
