I was like, “It’s just a hat. If you like it and you wear it, it’s not a woman’s hat, it’s just your hat. You don’t need to follow what the tag says if you don’t want to.” And it was like I gave him some kind of awe-inspiring wisdom he’d never considered, and he left with that hat on his head.

And I think if/when Adrien finds out that Marinette was the one who got hurt because he wasn’t there, that she was tormented and haunted by a secret she kept while trying to protect him, I think it will destroy him

Adrien and marinette both try to protect each other to the point of self destruction, and I think that rather than feel betrayed by marinette keeping the secret he’ll feel like he failed her by again not being there to protect her from his father.

Adrien isn’t blind he sees how desperately marinette wants to tell him and cat noir knows that ladybug hates the feeling of having to keep secrets.

He also saw how devastated marinette was at the idea of hurting him, enough to turn into heartfixer

But

Season 6 has made a big point of saying that Adrien hates when marinette isn’t honest with him

They’ve purposely steered Adrien to be a character that hates being lied to so I’m scared that they probably will make Adrien get angry that they kept the secret

I feel like season 5 Adrien would of forgave maribug for lying but I understand that he is a traumatized 14 year old so I can understand that he has probably changed and that to forgive marinette on the spot would take a level of emotional intelligence unreasonable to expect of him at this time

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

Keith Haring's story is usually told as a solo rise, but that version leaves out Angel "LA II" Ortiz, a Puerto Rican artist from the Lower East Side who collaborated with Haring from the very beginning. Angel was a teenager when they met, already active in the neighborhood's graffiti culture. He taught Keith how tagging worked on the street, painted alongside him, and guided him through spaces Keith did not come from. Angel's tags, infill, and visual language appear across works that later became associated with Keith Haring's public legacy.

After Keith Haring's death, the story changed. Museums mounted exhibitions, publishers released books, and merchandise entered the market under a single name.
