#ml paris

that's so relevant to the paris special's setting where it's an underground helping each other out that makes anything possible.

fishnets worn as shirts and stockings with runs or holes so they couldn't be worn at the office taken to with scissors and damaged shirts or jeans repurposed.

it stood out to me that we mostly hear marinette referred to as a baker when chloe's talking. so what if it's because chloe's always complaining about the, "uppity baker who doesn't know her place," and adrien has always heard these stories and been like, "haha… this girl rocks :)"

fits with his punk thing

Griffe Noir, like… Grief.

like “im too scared of losing my entire world again to choose not to be lonely because ik every person could become that important.” like “id rather shut out my surviving parent than join him in moving on because it's easier to cover up the pain than process it” and "it's become easier to pretend the pain isn't there than to face what it's become and how it's affecting me"

it makes sense it wasn't canon cause the unhinged was coming from emodrien's self destructive determination to prove to everyone (mostly himself) that he's untouchable & invincible instead of crumbling from unresolved grief & social isolation so like. he wasn't going to trust anyone.

but maybe… that happens post-special when he's in the awkward transitory period of becoming Good (enough)

like, have you seen the video of the cat howling and yowling at a door then they notice the person taking the video and start meowing really cutely? it's like that. sometimes griffe gets mad and he's a fucking menace again cursing everyone out (who does hesperia think he is, his dad? 😡🤬) until goth ladybug shows up and he's like henlo ladybug 🥺 it's me your boy 🥺 your precious partner kitty cat gentle sweet kitten 🥺

in canon, the origins coup de foudre moments happened cause they proved assumptions they made about one another wrong to show there's much more to this person (and the world) than they thought

how… how would this happen when adrien was watching from a limo window and marinette was just handing gorilla pastries [in goth]?

maybe it's just a normal crush but THE WAY HE LOOKED AT HER. MY GOD.

and like imagine emo marinette who's only seen him like that & who always assumed he was stuck up like chloe looking at him in canon marinette's room on the floor SMILING up at her SO SOFTLY with THE GENTLEST EYES

daring implications for… wait, not Sabine, unless she was secretly a scene kid when not looking like her portrait in Uncle Wang's restaurant… and considering Marinette talked in the webisode about her family members that she's most like her father in daily life… Tom???? goth Tom??????

I think I'm onto nothing here, but it is funny to imagine kid Tom wearing Gina's eyeliner telling Roland it's not just a phase
