THE 'PERFECT' CHILDREN

"They are the monsters".

This resonate very differently after watching 'El Toro de Piedra'. Why do I feel like Felix knows way more than he lets on? 😏

For so long, people have torn Marinette, Kagami, and Nathalie apart for not telling Adrien the truth about his father being Hawkmoth or the truth about him and Felix being Sentimonsters.

And now, when Felix uses that information as an excuse to yell at him, nobody is doing anything, or flat out saying he was right to do so.

You can't get mad or shout at someone for being ignorant about something when you're intentionally leaving them in the dark.

Kagami didn't do that. Even when she was terrified at the possibility her amok was lost and her life was at risk, she never got mad at Adrien. Because it's not his fault.

Felix? He flat out screams at him, exactly like Gabriel did whenever he disobeyed or tried to be independent. Again... over something Felix refuses to tell him.

This is what's known as gaslighting via lie of ommission. An extremely common type of abuse, often used to manipulate the victim with guilt and make them doubt their perceptions.

yes !! from context clues, we know they were all friends for a very long time, I assume at least since college. I can't imagine them not knowing about emilie's fertility issues, the safaris, everything.

I guess if I had to situate chloe's conception somewhere in time, i'd say she could be the second sentikid ? we know that andre and audrey always had a strained relationship, so what if andre borrowed the peacock miraculous to trap audrey because she was about to leave him ? I know this is basically fanfiction territory at this point but let's just imagine this scenario for a moment.

so chloe spends her life without a mom and on top of that, her father isn't really present either. he spoils her but doesn't give her the structure or emotional support needed for a child to grow up properly. maybe he even isolates her voluntarily because he likes having someone who depends on him ? she's his only remaining family, so he traps her in this golden cage where she basically gets what she wants. like that, chloe grows up knowing what buttons to push for her father to give her what she wants.

simultaneously, chloe still wants her mother's approval. all chloe knows is materialism, so she takes care of her appearance more than anything. it's also what society praises the most, which only reinforces her obsession with her image. she needs to look perfect to maybe one day become the perfect daughter for her mom.

and that's how you get a mean girl. she lacks personal identity, and her demeanor is a direct result of her lack of self-worth. chloe is powerless in her life. the only way for her to take control is to act a certain way. she's also emotionally unregulated, which means anything can lead her to have a meltdown/tantrum. she only knows how to sabotage people, not how to love. when she sees her mother again, she tries to behave just like her, to show her they're on the same level. but it's not enough, chloe is told she's not perfect enough. so now she wants the same power her parents have, because then they'll finally see her as capable.

so if actually chloe hates marinette because she has the parents chloe dreams of did we think about that ? while ladybug is kind of a maternal figure that chloe looks up to

Scheherazade knew this.
