Gentle Deet and Brave Rian
His face is priceless
After Adrien’s hundredth ‘lets not stand up for Marinette’, ‘be nice to your bully’, and/or ‘Chloe won’t change’ moment, Marinette starts making all her designs include feathers. Just some petty revenge
He just takes the feathers off refusing to sink that low
Gabriel gives Adrien a bird as a pet as he ruined Marinette’s design.
Adrien cooks quail for dinner. Gabriel is completely horrified until he realises it wasn’t the bird he gifted
Marinette points out if Gabriel had spent more time raising his kid then perhaps Adrien wouldn’t pull such dark pranks. She then criticises the quail for being over salted

Adrien: I just wish she would like me back
Marinette: Oh, talking about that absolutely amazing ice queen again?
Adrien: No. The girl I actually like. She’s incredible in every way. Passionate, graceful, brave, kind, doesn’t have my schedule on a chart
Marinette: That must….Was that a dig at me when I am trying to be nice? What happened to the high road?
Adrien: So, where’s that amazing dessert buffet you were preparing for heroes day?
Marinette: ….Let’s just get back to your love trouble, that way you can only hurt me once
___________________________
Marinette: I was thinking of throwing a party for Adrien’s birthday
Adrien: That’s really kind of you.
Nathalie: Let me take care of catering so nothing is overly salty
Gabriel: I’ll take care of decorations so they are in style
Marinette: Haha guys, but seriously that’s all done. I was just wondering if I should invite Chloe
Adrien: Why wouldn’t you?
Marinette: Really? Well, putting my own issues aside I couldn’t remember if this was the week you were friends or the week you forgot she existed
Adrien: I never-
Marinette: When was the last time you had a conversation with her?
Adrien: I think…How many words count as a conversation?
Marinette: If it’s with Gabriel, lucky if more than 5 words
Nathalie: Anyone else should be more than 30 seconds
Adrien: After Despair Bear attacked? Maybe?
Marinette: That’s actually worse than I thought and kind of sad
Gabriel: Add her to the list
Nathalie: It maybe nice to have a real superhero here rather than just a civilian ladybug
Marinette: Seriously, Adrien, I know I get petty about how you treat me but if Chloe really is your friend you need to talk to her more. Especially of the way her mum treats her
Adrien: So you are going to be nice?
Marinette: No. I already have a name tag for her with the name Claudette
Adrien: Really?
Marinette: I never claimed to be her friend.
__________________________
Gabriel: What would happen if I accused Chloe of stealing as she did you or hired actors for a fake Queen Bee interview
Marinette: Don’t, that may border on mean. Anyway it’s Adrien’s day if he wants her there we should respect that as it may be nice for her to see parents worse than her own
Gabriel: Really? Adrien’s mother is dead
Marinette: Better father then? Andre spoils her and buys anything she wants, Adrien’s he only sees when scheduled. Hers gives her a hotel, his locks him in his room. Hers encourages friendship, his homeschools him. Hers-
Gabriel: Marinette. Stop.
Marinette: Sorry Mr Agreste.
Gabriel: You’re forgiven baker girl.
___________________________
Marinette: Hey Gabriel, just letting you know I won’t be around here as much
Gabriel: Grounded again for missing classes? Adrien get a restraining order on you for the stalking? Always being late?
Marinette: No, there’s this really nice guy called Luka who asked me out and I want to give him a shot. I may have the start of feelings. I want to explore it.
Gabriel: But…but you love Adrien
Marinette: Well, he never noticed and never really stood up for me much, plus put bullies’ feelings ahead of mine. Luka just seems to understand. He’s patient, gentle, and all around a genuine nice guy. He’s the one who went ice skating with Adrien, Kagami, and I. Whenever I fell he was there.
Gabriel: I forbid it
Marinette: You aren’t my father though?
Gabriel: Nathalie get in here. Tell Marinette she’s not allowed to date Luka
Nathalie: I’ve organised your schedule and oops sorry, Luka’s not on it.
Marinette: I don’t think you have that power. Luka-
Nathalie: That name is banned in our house
Marinette: I’m still going to a Jagged Stone concert with him
Nathalie: No. I just bought all the tickets. None left
Marinette: I already purchased them
Gabriel: I will fly you to New York for a fashion show if you don’t go to that concert
Marinette: Counter proposal, I go and rather than get upset at me you get upset at your son for ruining your plans that he never even agreed to or knew of
Gabriel and Nathalie then spend the rest of the day trying to figure out ways to stop the date.
________________________________
Gabriel: Nathalie…I think we’ve made an error in our plan. How do we fix this?
Nathalie: What if we akumatise Luka?
Gabriel: Tried that. He’s too mellow and understanding. Wouldn’t even hurt a fly.
Nathalie: Akumatise Marinette?
Gabriel: Never happening
Nathalie: Chat calls her princess right? Akumatise the cat.
Gabriel: You really think that would work?
Nathalie: I’ll make it.
Do you ever stop in the quiet of the twilight?
Do you ever sit in the dew covered ground?
Do you ever inhale so deep the cold air hurts?
Does nature ever tell you to stop and breathe?
Basically imagine Lila just keeps lying and Marinette finally snaps, calling her out on her bullshit and everyone is pissed and Marinette is just like yeah fuck this, and leaves and Adrien tries to plead with her to apologize and basically it’s Defying Gravity with Marinette as Elphaba and Adrien as Glinda and it ends with Marinette choosing to do what’s best for herself and it was okay, let everyone think she’s wicked–at least she won’t be bowing down to anyone.
So months pass and the school regards Marinette as a terrible person but she is still confident and proud. She laughs at the image that’s been given to her. No one goes near her or else it would be social suicide.
Finally, Chloe is fed up and joins Marinette, Sabrina follows. Chloe knows Marinette is not a bully–she even is kind to her. Naturally, Chloe and Sabrina get shunned but ironically, they find Marinette’s company far more enjoyable than their other classmates and become overprotective of her against the class and Lila.
In comes new student Felix, who sits in the back with Marinette, finding everyone in the class to be loud and annoying or trying to get into his space. Marinette is surprised, but offers him a sunny smile and lets him be. Felix finds her respect of his boundaries comforting. It isn’t long before Lila and the class, sans Adrien, try to convince Felix Marinette is wicked, but he doesn’t buy it. Marinette has been nothing but respectful towards him since he sat with her.
Lila pulls something on him, maybe like steals something of his or vandalizes his bag, and tries to frame Marinette, who only faces him and says she didn’t do it, but she would do whatever it took to fix his bag. He sees honesty in her eyes and he doesn’t believe Marinette did it. He accuses Lila, noticing some clues that lead him to believe she was the one who vandalized his bag. Lila protests and puts up an act, but Felix doesn’t buy it, angry she did this and tried to frame Marinette. He tells off the class and says from what he’s seen, Marinette doesn’t do anything and doesn’t bother anyone so to him, they were the bullies and he doesn’t want to associate with bullies. They try to protest, citing that Marinette is a terrible person and Felix just says “I don’t care. You’re irrelevant. Get out of my sight.”
He continues to sit with Marinette and they become closer and she invites him to sit with her, Chloe, and Sabrina. Chloe and Sabrina accept him, since they saw he was able to see through Lila’s lies and easily see Marinette wasn’t like that. They tell him Marinette has always been kind to them, even when they didn’t deserve it, so it was ridiculous to say that Marinette would vandalize his bag for no apparent reason.
Marinette keeps her promise and sews up his bag, and Felix gets to spend some time with her at her house, finding it warm and soothing. Chloe and Sabrina often hang out there too. The four of them become a group. Marinette and Felix get closer, and Felix learns from her to not always be serious all the time. That sometimes life can be fun. She teaches him how to mellow out, but also respects his boundaries and interests. She listens to him, even when he’s grumpy, and offers him reassurances. Before Felix realizes it, he’s fallen for Marinette. Chloe notices, rolling her eyes, and calls him out. Felix gets defensive saying he doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
“Well duh! Everyone falls for Marinette at some point! It’s happened to me already!” says Chloe scoffing, blushing.
Soon Luka transfers to their school, worried about what he’s been hearing from Juleka. Marinette being evil? It was impossible to him. Seeing everyone shunning Marinette in action and seeing how she’s being treated immediately has him joining their group, very protective of Marinette from bullies. He won’t let anyone hurt his precious person.
Eventually, Ladybug and Chat Noir fall out of balance. Adrien not sticking up for Marinette and ousting Lila riddles him with guilt, he often gets nightmares. He fights with himself, staying in denial. He was taking the high road–It was Marinette who chose not to get along with everyone. He didn’t force her to snap. Plagg has tried to get him to see his mistakes, but Adrien stays in denial. Eventually Plagg and the ring are taken from him, and Fu confronts him saying that he has failed his partner in her moment of need. Ladybug and Chat Noir need to be partners, and Adrien abandoned his partner. Adrien realizes that Marinette is Ladybug too late. He’s devastated. How could he do this to someone he claimed to be in love with? He is left alone to grieve for his loss.
Next day he goes to the school and comes out with the truth. Lila is a liar. The class is shocked, horrified that Adrien apparently knew this whole time. Lila is quick to save herself, claiming that Adrien did something to her, and the others see that Adrien has been distant ever since Marinette has been shunned. They realize he has feelings for Marinette and deny he’s telling the truth.
However, there are some who believe him, such as Kagami, who actually punches him when he tells the truth. She’s furious–Marinette was her first friend and Adrien lied, making it sound like Marinette was actually terrible and caused Kagami to stay away from her. She denounces Adrien and immediately sets forth to her class, telling them what she knew. Her class, containing Aurore and other kids, put to work to spread what they know to help Marinette. Marinette is shocked coming lunch time there’s a lot more people who want to sit with her. They apologize and tell her they’re going to fight for her. Kagami vows she will never let anyone steer her away from Marinette ever again. The girls cry together.
Meanwhile, Felix finds Plagg’s box, and Plagg tells him he is now Chat Noir, as he has demonstrated loyalty to Ladybug. He figures out that Marinette is Ladybug, and he vows to be by her side on and off the battlefield. He goes to Marinette and confesses he now has the Cat Miraculous and knows she’s Ladybug. He tells her fiercely, embracing her tight “You’re never going to be alone again. I won’t ever let you suffer by yourself ever again. I swear it.”
Eventually Chloe, Sabrina, Luka, Kagami, and a few others get their own Miraculous to join the fight against Hawkmoth. It doesn’t take them long to figure out who Ladybug is, and they love Marinette even more, also swearing loyalty to her.
With Kagami’s class working towards denouncing Marinette’s previous image, students start getting smart, and soon Lila’s hold on them fades, and Lila is getting desperate. The school starts turning against each one of the classmates, and they are all angry and upset. Lila’s control over them is slipping, and they soon figure out that Lila has been indeed lying, Adrien was right, and they shunned their precious friend for months, claiming she was wicked and evil. They want blood. They end up getting akumatized and Hawkmoth has an army. Ladybug and the team defeat them, and they are left with regrets that they have hurt Marinette. They apologize to her, but she doesn’t forgive them. She actually thanks them because now she has actual friends that love and support her, and if they didn’t push her to her limits, she would’ve stayed depending on and loving people who didn’t return the favor.
In the end, Adrien and Marinette have a talk, and Adrien reveals he knows she’s Ladybug and that he knows she will never forgive him, but he still loves her, and he’s going to spend every day making it up to her, and it’s okay she doesn’t love him back. Losing the ring made him realize he was being a child, and he needs to work on himself to be better. Marinette accepts his apology but doesn’t forgive him–maybe one day, she thinks, but not now.
It ends with Marinette being happy with her new friends. Felix is beside her as always, and she eyes him fondly with a shy smile. He catches her look, giving her a smile. Everyone catches the exchange.
“So I guess Felix is smitten now too, huh?” Luka speaks. Marinette squeaks while Felix gapes. Luka smiles “Nice to see you join the club.”
“W-what?” Felix splutters.
“Yes, liking Marinette is like a man breathing after all.” Kagami chimes in. Marinette’s face gets redder.
“I don’t–”
“i told you, Felix. everyone eventually falls for Marinette sooner or later” Chloe flips some hair over her shoulder.
“You–”
“Oh, thank god. I thought I was the only one!” Sabrina confessed. Others sitting with them also chime in their own Marinette crushes and Marinette’s entire face is cherry red, and everyone coos at how adorable she is.

Marinette and Luka are dating when Chat finds out Viperion is Ladybug's boyfriend but Viperion doesn't know, and now Ladybug has to keep slapping her hands over Chat's mouth whenever he's about to say something that could give away her identity to Luka/Viperion
Can we please take a moment to appreciate this scene?
Luka’s anger came not only from the fact that his band’s work had been stolen, but mostly because Bob was threatening Marinette!!! He only had strong enough negative emotions once her career and future were in danger. He wasn’t thinking about his! He kept thinking about her at all moments! This shows just how deep and pure his feelings for her are. He doesn’t have a mere crush. He loves her.
Just like in Chameleon, when he was talking about Marinette’s righteous anger, Hawk Moth nailed his description: “The rage of a creator whose work has been stolen by someone a little bit fussy and who can’t stand them making the one he’s in love with suffer. Go little akuma, and evilise his pure heart.”

Thank you, Thomas Astruc, for blessing us with his existence. We are not worthy
This is were I dump my love for anime and the feelings I get from them.
