I've been theorizing a lot about who the members of the weird cult/council seen in the post-credit scene could be since this post I made.

I think everyone agrees on the fact that each symbol represents a sector that the person leads. For example, Gabriel is the diamond because he's in the fashion industry whole Tomoe is the engine because she has a tech company.

I'm also thinking that all the members could have sentikids just like Gabriel and Tomoe as I've already mentionned in a previous post.. And since we know for a fact that Gabriel was the diamond, it led me to think about the diamond ball a bit more.

I'm referring to that special event that Gabriel and Tomoe organized in "Emotion", where only children of the elite were invited.

Since the members of the weird cult all seem to involve rich people leading a specific sector, what if they were all there with their sentikids ?

Adrien and Kagami are possibly the first sentikids since Gabriel is the one who found the peacock miraculous. So them being the king and queen of the event would take a whole other meaning : Adrien and Kagami may be a representation the new Adam and Eve of this new idealized world these billionaires want to create.

Portrait of a father

Luka was the biggest cuck fr lmao

luka going "THATS NOT A SECRET 😠" when people tell him that marinette has a crush on Adrien WHILE LUKE WAS DATING HER will never not be funny

This episode has done irreparable damage to my mind

thinking about the letter again...

@little-mari-on-a-roof 's tags on this post:

#his sacrifice in front of Marinette was already so fucked up #but knowing he had a backup plan is somehow even worse #and he definitely thought Nathalie had more time left than him (at least according to Intuition) #even in his letter he doesn't admit to all the wrong he did. he only says HE sacrified everything and that he was Monarque #he never talks about the pain he inflicted upon others #so even with his last words asking Marinette to not let him know about the villain he was #he doesn't actually write off Adrien finding and following the letter

This made me want to go check out Intuition again and... all this might be a stretch, but could this be the moment he decides to write this letter? Find a solution? And then he asks Adrien and he confirms that no, he doesn't have any adults that could replace his parents (a stupid thing to ask unless of course you don't know anything about your son)

I also added that dialogue from Recreation and I'm now convinced that it's only then that he remembers about the letter. The moment when Ladybug mentions "solution" for the second time and his face changes. And all the remorse about wasting his and Nathalie's life and fear of leaving Adrien alone, that I do believe was sincere at first (but like little-mari-on-a-roof said, no regrets about the villainy) is gone from his face. Ta-da!

Here is his solution. He promised Adrien that Nathalie would help him with his new task. So he heals her instead, since Gabriel himself keeps failing anyway. Nathalie was right and his use of Miraculous is condemning them. Fine! Perhaps Adrien will do a better job!

Also, well... Intuition is an episode that revolves around the power of Second Chance. Sooo.... makes sense if he found a backup plan right there. Adrien as his second chance...

Bonus points: in Recreation he knows Adrien would have to betray none other than Marinette to do that. Couldn't get rid of adrinette yourself? Lol just convince her to lie to him and him to betray her and let them do the rest! Another problem solved?

YES OMG that's what I was going for with my most recent fanart. Adrien now needs to figure himself out without anyone's lead, find his own thing. But for now, he's very lost, he's never taken any decision for himself. I'd love for him to get into some kind of art or craft

His character seems to kind of take that direction in s6 with Revelator where he clearly states he won't do anything that will bring attention to him, so I'm thinking of something that allows him to have a more of a safe space and a community + He seems to have made changes to his room as we can see in this scene, his bed changed spots I guess ? And he painted the wall behind him :

I'd like to think that Adrien's going to get into abstract art. It's totally opposed to his father's very symmetrical, cold and strict artistic direction. He'll be able to express his emotions and creativity freely

A lot of people think of baking, since it's already a running joke in the show. But it's too tied to Marinette, and I don't like that very much since I don't want him to keep being under her wing, although she will probably be the one to inspire him to experiment.

So maybe cooking instead ? It's a way for him to connect and take care of the ones he loves, and it's also an art form

I'm really trying to figure out the development of his character since I've been planning out a rewrite/redesign of his character, which hopefully I'll be able to present to you soon

So if anyone has other suggestions/opinions on the matter, I'm all ears !

Saw the interview of Thomas saying Adrien/Chat Noir is in a stage of his life where he's finding himself and he's akin to a blank piece of paper and i could feel the mental illness activate like a sleeper agent at the thought of Adrien staring at a blank canvas trying to decide what and who he's supposed to be now im going to explode

Nathaniel's transformation and suit are probably my favorite now omg

This reminded me that in the s5 finale, Maribug also uses a bread peel to beat up Monarch :

She really takes after her dad lol

tom dupain prepared to beat a man to death with his bread peel for harrassing his daughter and her boyfriend online is one of the most in character things ive ever seen him do

I just watched El Toro de Piedra ! the animation seems to be even better in this episode ? I'd say it's on par with Climatiqueen which only excites me for what's coming next !!

The letter Gabriel addressed to Adrien broke my heart, I understand why Marinette didn't show it. I don't know if it's the best way to explain to him everything, especially since he doesn't express any regret in that letter about what he has done...The audacity to tell Adrien he should also pursue the miraculous lol ? But I feel like Adrien's getting closer to learning the truth

We also got a better understanding of the layout of his room. So the top floor is where he's supposed to sleep but since he's still figuring things out he didn't organise it yet.

I also love how this ep was constructed, the pacing was really good. First, the obvious parallel between Ivan and Adrien and their fathers. But also the fight sequence happening simultaneously with Juleka's song. They gave character dev/depth to not only Ivan but also Juleka, her singing was beautiful and I'm fully in love with her new look <3

ALSO can we talk about THE END SEQUENCE ? TF is that illuminati looking group ?? NATHALIE'S STILL EVIL ?? Look at thiiis

But it also makes sense, it was actually hinted and explains why Tomoe was collaborating with Gabriel. I remember her telling Gabriel in intuition "I want a better world".

But this also means that now we've got multiple grown ass billionaires beefing with Ladybug and Chat noir. Do you think Lila/Cerise is collaborating with them (which would bring her funding and support) as well, or is she working alone ?

Gabriel Agreste dares to ask the question: "what if I kill myself in front of you to forever change the trajectory of your life while simultaneously giving you so much trauma that I'll forever haunt the narrative."

I hate the guy but he is determined I'll give him that.
