BREAKING NEWS!!!! Earlier, this morning, an anonymous person posted a picture of a certain Parisian supervillain emerging out of the attic window of Paris's own fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste! IS THERE A SCANDAL AFOOT?! Could Gabriel Agreste be involved with Hawkmoth? It certainly would not be the first time the elites of Paris's society have been seduced by evil.

Gabriel, thinking about Hawkmoth: I don’t mean to be unprofessional but sometimes I wish a bitch would crush my windpipe under their 10 inch heels, you feel?

Adrichat is great. Adrichat is one of the best things to ever cross my dash.

I’m here to tell you though that comparatively, Adrichat is broke.

You know what’s woke? Gabemoth.

That’s right, you heard me correctly.

It starts as such: Let’s say that Gabriel and Nathalie put on their big boy brains and decide to give Gabriel another alibi. Gabriel temporarily gives the butterfly miraculous to Nathalie, and she akumatizes him in public.

Now we all know how Gabriel loves his pet names. As he accepts the akuma, he nearly says, “Yes, my dear Nathalie,” but obviously that would give away her identity and ruin the whole plan.

What comes out instead is, “Yes, my dear... Hawkmoth.”

People latch on to this, of course, because Gabriel Agreste is an international celebrity, and he seems to have just professed his love for Paris’s most notorious superterrorist. Soon, the hottest news is that Gabriel is Hawkmoth’s new boyfriend. When questioned about it, Gabriel aggressively denies it, which clearly doesn’t help the situation.

All the Hawkyura shippers in Paris (a surprising number) cry.

And so it begins.

Shipping wars break out. Some people latch onto Gabemoth instantly, drawn in by the forbidden danger of it. This obviously enrages the city’s Hawkyura fans in addition to the Gabrilie shippers and the rare Gabenath shippers who picked up on the tension between the famous designer and his ever-present-very-hot assistant.

It would be a perfect opportunity for akumas, but Gabriel is beginning to feel like the butterfly miraculous has done quite enough, thank you very much.

In fact, these days, Gabriel spends most of his day with every single electronic device he owns (8 if you count the smart fridge, and he does), creating fake online accounts to combat the growing popularity of Gabemoth. It goes something like this:

not-gabriel-agreste: Gabriel Agreste can't be Hawkmoth's boyfriend! What about all those moments with Mayura? Hawkmoth may be evil, but he’s not a cheater.

paris_user_420: we see you, mayura 👀

Of course, all of this is super stressful for Adrien, who would very much love a stepparent, but preferably not a psychotic magical terrorist (little does he know). Being a Gabenath shipper himself, this is clearly a disappointment as Nathalie is way nicer than Hawkmoth (little does he know).

His dad seems happy though, if not a little stressed about the publicity, so Adrien’s primary concern is Nathalie. He tries to break the news gently.

“Nathalie, I’m so sorry... But I think my Father loves Hawkmoth.”

“Oh!” she exclaims, trying not to laugh “Oh- Oh...” She puts on a sad face. She is bad at acting, but Adrien is oblivious.

“I know this must be hard,” he says. He stops and thinks very seriously. “I don’t want you to be sad. Do you think you might be interested in Mayura?”

She chokes on her coffee and sputters, “I don’t... swing that way,” grabbing any excuse to not be paired up with her alter ego as Gabriel has.

Adrien knows this isn’t entirely true because he saw how Nathalie looked at Penny Rolling that one time, but he figures she’s just upset and he should let her be.

In reality, Nathalie is enjoying this quite a bit. Gabriel complains to her about all the fanart and fanfic, of course, and to her good fortune, he shows it to her as he rants. She tries to keep a straight face and not visibly salivate.

“I don’t know why anyone would draw that, sir. It’s truly disturbing.” When he turns away from his workstation to rant some more, she quickly sends it to herself. On her own device, she likes it, favorites it, and adds it as her wallpaper.

She hopes that’s what Gabriel looks like under his-

So Nathalie is having a good time. But Adrien is Very Stressed™. As a hero of Paris, he really can’t let his father date a supervillain. On the other hand, if Gabriel is finally finding happiness, he can’t break his dad’s heart! Therefore, he hatches plan Reform Hawkmoth.

He begs Ladybug as Chat for them to stop fighting Hawkmoth and try to bring him to the side of good instead. Ladybug is firmly against this until he takes a risk, bats his eyes, and asks, “Please? For Adrien’s sake?” Suddenly, Ladybug is very on board with this plan.

Cue Hawkmoth being very confused and distressed by the heroes shouting at him through his next akuma to change his ways. “For your boyfriend’s sake! For the sake of his son!” He screams, regretting all of this and wanting it to be over.

He gives up the miraculous within a week, just to wash his hands of Gabemoth.

Nooroo: you are him

Gabe: it’s the most tragic love story

nooroo: people actually die in Romeo and Juliet
