ROUND 1 POLL 1

ADRIEN/KAGAMI:

"They know how to have fun, be it competing or sneaking out. They are both very supportive in their own way and just care a lot. They make each other strive to try new things, like when they both rebel, or when Kagami wanted to befriend Marinette knowing that Adrien holds her in high regard, or when Kagami brings out Adrien's unrestrained side. Adrien supports Kagami's passion for art, Kagami enjoys listening to Adrien playing the piano. They share some sweet gestures, such as a soft cheek touching, or lifting the chin to leave a kiss on the corner of the mouth, and make them casual. Just being close to each other makes them smile. They can be cute and dorky together, as well as have important conversations about their relationship. I can talk a lot about them. Anyway, they deserve some appreciation, even if they may not win."

"They are- as the poets say … weird but fucking beautiful!!!. No but seriously They’ve got so much potential! They’re messy and complicated and wonderful and they help each other grow and evolve."

LILA/MAX:

OH MAN good question. and funny question. me and cap talk about so many batshit aus that some of the ships we have make no sense without reams of context but. lets dive in!

-lilanette is a classic which i dont feel like i have to explain -lila and nino but like in a qpr way. in this specific scenario, nino and alya are properly dating, but nino and lila live together and are incredibly close friends and shes kind of their professional third wheel. the kind where alya was super worried at first but after getting to know her realizes she is no threat to their relationship whatsoever. she is too busy running pyramid schemes to worry about romance. but they're also inseperable and very important to each other. deeper than friends but not to the extent of romance. basically described as "and they were roommates". also aro lila. -lila and juleka but specifically in a toxic way. unhealthy relationship goals. -lila and mireille, but specifically for comedy. the most interesting, chaos riddled person to walk the plot has been neutralized by dating The Most Boring Person On Earth and its really funny. Lila loves her boring girlfriend even if all they do is go to cafes and order bottled water or watch friends on netflix. Marinette wants to organize a rescue mission to get lila out of there. but lila has resigned herself to her boring fate. mireille is akuma proof as well because shes a Background Character so lila is safe from any further hawkmoth influence.

-lila and max, both in an ace way, where lila drives him crazy and irritates him on purpose and max cant figure out why he still doesn't hate having her around. both crazy geniuses in their own right. they compliment each others strengths and make up for their weaknesses. and i think they're cool. a powerful team.

-lila and adrien, but in the kind of bond they'd have in the future where like. "we were hurt and used by the same cruel person, and then we hurt and used each other, but its easier to just blame him and reside in this kindred feeling than confront the problems that are still here" kinda way. yaknow?

-theres a case for lila and nathaneal here too, but also probably in an unhealthy way where she inevitably rejects him (sorry nath to do that to you. again.)

-i know felila (felix and lila) is very common, and while i do see the potential, for some reason, it just doesnt catch anything for me
