Imagine finding an escape from your neglectful father, by being a superhero, and eventually your superhero partner (who you just happen to be in love with) starts slowly neglecting you, and all of a sudden your escape is no longer an escape because you’re just always being neglected by people you care about 😭😭

Hawk Moth: Oh perfect, someone is really disappointed and sad! Adrien?? Nvm lol..

I’m up to Crocoduel in my miraculous rewatch, and it brought back my disappointment that it’s just Captain Hardrock and Guitar Villain again, rather than giving them new looks and personas. Even with Gang of Secrets, it was just their old villain looks, and in the episode where Rose gets the pig miraculous (i don’t remember the episode name) Juleka just becomes Reflekta again?? When the whole point of her becoming Reflekta is that she feels invisible, but her getting akumatised this time was because she was feeling incredibly guilty?? It just didn’t make sense for her to become Reflekta again, rather than giving her a new villain persona that actually matched the reason she was akumatised. To me, it just feels lazy

“Chloe’s character isn’t that deep. some people are just mean” yes, HOWEVER, there are multiple moments where we are given a deeper look into Chloe’s character and i am absolutely not convinced that she’s mean because she genuinely believes she’s better than everyone.

it’s made clear that Chloe is insecure about the fact that she has only two friends and nobody else likes her. even Armand (her butler) is aware of this, when in despair bear he asks her to make an effort so that more people could like her not just so Adrien would still be her friend but also so she could hopefully make some new ones.

On this topic, I’m not convinced that Chloe doesn’t deeply care for Sabrina and Adrien. Sure, the way she treats Sabrina is not the best, but we’re shown very often that Sabrina actually doesn’t mind. In Star Train, she’s more than happy to do what Chloe wants, and her dad even says that it’s the way their family is. They serve. I also know that Chloe cares more about Adrien than the supposed crush she has on him, because they grew up together. They were literally each other’s only friends as kids, and Adrien points out a lot to Nino and Marinette that Chloe can actually be nice.

And you know what I don’t think Chloe is mean to Marinette just for the sake of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason she’s mean to Marinette is actually because she’s jealous that Marinette so obviously has both of her parents in her life, who absolutely adore her and care for her. We know that Chloe is deeply affected by her mum’s own view of her (that woman doesn’t even know her name half the time) and she grew up knowing that her mum would rather live in a different country than with her daughter. Her mum, on TV IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, told her that she thinks Chloe is the least impressive thing she’s ever seen. Genuinely can you image your own mother telling you she doesn’t think you have any exceptional thing about you in front of all these people who know you? No wonder Chloe acts like she’s better than everyone all the time. And the way she acts around Ladybug, especially as Queen Bee, I think she’s craving that validation from her hero where she’s not getting it from her mum. I could go on about her character.

But the main topic of this post was to talk about chloe x luka so 🤷‍♂️ Luka’s a chill guy. He doesn’t rlly get angry very easily, and is very understanding. I think if he met Chloe, he could actually be beneficial to her growth, and hold her accountable when she’s mean. “But Chloe wouldn’t date a guy with Luka’s vibes” SHE SAID HE WAS CUTE IN MIRACLE QUEEN 😭😭 so at least she doesn’t think he’s ugly or lame, so the ship is not this absolute absurd possibility

frightingale, captain hardrock, frozer, mayura, reflekdoll, silencer, desperada.. you know how it is (there’s more luka episodes but i’m not listing them all)
