that in Gorizilla when they had that beautiful Ladrien moment

MARINETTE FRICKING DUPAIN CHENG

was so confident when talking to Adrien which leads to me to draw two conclusions

Marinette can talk to Adrien seriously (or normally I guess) in a high tension situation when there isn’t any time to be a flustered mess

or

When Marinette is transformed she has more confidence because no one knows she’s Marinette.

WHICH MEANS

that she’s either thinks that Ladybug is more impressive than Marinette making it more likely for him to like her (seriously doubt that)

or

Her suit/unknown identity is kind of like a safety net where she could be her true self and show her feelings for him (she didn’t do much of that though, just smiled) without him judging her
