You know what would be super messed up.

Alya/Rena Rouge being the one that interacts with Chat noir, acting like an intermediary between Ladybug and Chat noir. Like as Alya becomes more trusted, Ladybug has to take care of something, she tells Rena Rouge what to tell Chat noir to do. Afterall, she needs to focus on the plan. There is a patrol? Well surely Rena Rouge can go instead of her, she is having a break through with guardian stuff. Better then losing progress on her work and that way chat noir wouldnt be alone.

And Chat noir starts realizing that Rena Rouge is basically Ladybug's Nathalie, and it dawns on him.

'This feels just like when I am at home'

Okay so I had this idea.

So Ladybug and Chat noir have their falling out. Its bad, its pretty bad. Chat noir doesn't quit being a hero, he is just done treating this like a partnership, its basically a job for him now. Ladybug can do her patrols with Rena Rouge or whoever she decided to trust more than him. Ladybug can't exactly fault him for that, but it hurts her too. And Rena Rouge stopped trying to mediate after Chat noir bit her head off during the argument. So Ladybug and Rena Rouge agree to give him some space.

Now Adrien's relationship with Ladybug suffered, but somehow, during this time, His relationship with Marinette improved a lot. He needed an escape from his escape. And Marinette provided him that. A comforting friend, a warm family happy to have him over. It was a pleasant little haven.

He is hanging out with her more. She doesn't get mad when he suddenly dips out, she is actually really cool with things. Honestly she is the person he really needed at this point in his life. He starts seeing her in a better light, wondering if maybe marinette was the one he should have been looking for all this time.

During one of their hang outs, an akuma attacks the bakery. Adrien focuses on protecting Marinette. He will make sure she is safe and as soon as he gets an opportunity, He will get out as chat noir and help.

Rena Rouge arrives and gets dealt with too quickly, not even giving Adrien time to get marinette to safety.

They are hiding in her room and Marinette is freaking out, wondering if chat noir will save them. (Though she is saddened saying it, she misses her kitty)

-Adrien realizes he doesn't have time to wait for Ladybug and decides to do what he was going to do in Optigami.

"Please keep this a secret."

He transforms in front of her. Then he dives down the door to fight the akuma.

-Marinette has a LOT to process, Chat noir is Adrien, Adrien is chat noir. Chat noir trusted Marinette with his identity.

-But right now she needed to transform.

-So she turns into Ladybug and goes down the door.

-The Akuma has been dealt with, pinned down and the item in Chat noir's claws.

"Took you long enough."

He tosses her the item. She purifies the akuma, makes the charm and gets the charm to the former akuma.

-Ladybug goes for a fist bump but he walks right past her. He asks where Marinette is.

-Ladybug gives Chat noir the " Oh she is safe." But Chat noir snaps at her.

-"Where specifically."

-Ladybug realizes he is concerned and she says she put her on a rooftop nearby. She will go get her.

-"Just go check on Rena Rouge and Leave." Chat noir dismissed.

-Ladybug casts miraculous cure and ensures Rena Rouge is fine.

-Ladybug tells her to go. Rena Rouge could tell Ladybug is having a rough day, she will ask later.

-Ladybug rushes to a nearby rooftop and Detransforms just before chat noir got there.

-Chat noir hugs Marinette in relief. He shifted back to Adrien.

-Marinette confesses that its a lot to take in. Marinette asks if Ladybug would be okay with him telling...

-"Probably not, and she can take his miraculous later if she has to."

-Marinette was hurt by the sharp response... but she knew she had no right.

-"What matters is you're okay."

More interesting subplots for Marinette than love rivals and triangles #1,000,000,000:

After all the conflicts she’s had with her friends and the various embarassing scenarios she was written into during season 3, Marinette starts worrying that she’s coming off as clingy and needy, and ends up further isolating herself from her friends. Lila takes advantage of this.

I really need this, like how relatable could you get??

Miraculous itself is connected to a parallel world, and the Chat blanc consciousness has mixed in with their world a bit.

Gently, he covers one of Chat noir's eyes, almost realizing who she is, because he doesn’t want him make the same mistake he did.

So I have been listening to “Now she’s getting married” and “Lookalike” and now I have this #Felinette story (on Adrien perspective because the only thing my sleep-deprived self can think of during exams dates is suffering)

It’s the last fight, Hawkmoth (Gabriel or Lila, doesn’t matter) is on jail/dead. The heroes won. Paris is a party people are happy... everyone except Adrien. For him the reveal of his father being a supervillain and her mother in the basement is too much so he decided to go and live with his mother’s family in London. He gives up being Chat Noir without asking for LB identify (he didn’t care, he have gave up on her a while ago, although they were still “good friends that are in love with each other but too afraid to say so”)

The day he is leaving his friends goes to say goodbye, as well as Marinette. She knew he was Chat Noir so she pleaded him to stay, to be with her. He rejected her (poor sunshine, he doesn’t have a head for fixing his love life in that moment) so Marinette give him a letter and says “It will always be Chat Noir and Ladybug against the world, never forget that, Adrien”. He doesn’t get it so he leaves without listening a soft “Even if I don’t remember it”

Years go by and now Adrien, 24, decided that he is ready to go to Paris and reunite with his friends. He never answer any of their calls, he even didn’t read Mari’s letter. So, in the train to Paris he decided to read the letter and oh, he regret he didn’t read it before. In the letter she reveal her identity and her love for him. Adrien now happy, plans to visit his Lady, ready to make everything he can to make up the years he left and the broken hearts he left behind.

The first thing he sees when he is back in Paris is some posters of his cousins new movie. He is surprised, when Felix left London all those years ago to pursued an acting career he never though he will stay so many years in Paris.

The first days are hard. Trying to find his friends new numbers, visiting the places he used to spend with his Lady (in and out of the suit). It’s a Friday night he is able to go to a party his friends are making for his return.

And he sees her, beautiful breathtaking Marinette. He tries to go straight for a hug but... something was wrong. Her arms are stiff and she looks kind of uncomfortable. He says he is sorry that he never answered his letter back, he almost have a heart-attack when she ask if they know each other.

That’s when Nino and Alya told him the thuth they have been hiding this few days he was back. Marinette had a accident the day after he left and had memory loss. But Adrien knew exactly what happen when he focused in a little detail he didn’t realized before: She wasn’t wearing her black earrings anymore, she have give up her position as a guardian and lost all her memories of the miraculous, all her memories of him.

And that is when Felix appears. Felix who had became Marinette fiancé after years of dating, since she lost her memory more precisely. Adrien tries to be happy for his cousin but he can’t help to think that the reason his Lady loves him is because he look so much like Adrien used to look like.

So you have a heartbroken Adrien who came back to Paris to find the love of his life... just to find she’s getting married to his lookalike.

Would he try to win her back? To make her remember who she was? Who they were? Or he will give up on her?

(If anyone wants to write this idea just do it, and tagged me please, I live for the angst)

Ouch. This is some good angst

I discovered the exact moment the dynamic of Ladynoir switched.

The hug from Animan was a desperate action from Chat Noir. After nearly seeing Ladybug die, AKA one of his greatest fears.

The hug from Miracle Queen was a desperate action from Ladybug, after making a serious mistake and out of fear from being alone and powerless.

In Animan, Ladybug reciprocates and leans towards him, but he's still a lot more closer to her than she is to him. Vice versa for Miracle Queen.

Both hugs have one of them resting their heads on the other's shoulder, ie The Sleepy Shoulder hug, plus a platonic hold from the other, ie holding on only to their arms and shoulders without their bodies touching.

Trust + Friend(zone)ship

You can see that at the exact time Ladybug chose to hold on, Chat Noir chose to let go.

Smooth, Criminal. Smooth.

Consider an angsty scenario where, instead of finding out Chat Noir knows her identity when he reveals his own, she finds out when Chat gets possessed by an akuma and nearly destroys her family and everything they have, exposing them to the world in the process. Marinette proceeds to go into hiding with her family, giving up her miraculous, her identity, her dreams of being a fashion designer, her home, her friends, her family’s business, literally her entire life up until now because the partner she thought she could trust decided that dating her was more important than her safety.

it’s been months and I still can’t stop thinking about what Chat Blanc did with himself all those months he was alone as the world gradually flooded

(Slams door open) So! Yall still writing COVID19 shit for your salt despite how INSENSITIVE it is?! (Loads prompt gun) Fine. I'm gonna shoot y'all in the feels. (Takes aim)

------ ISOLATION ------

Due to the rampant spread of COVID19 throughout Europe (as it is one of the major hotspots), France is essentially shut down. There are still people on the streets shopping for minor things (or not because honestly, people are stubborn :p) but Paris is absolutely taken by fear.

But no one more is more afraid than Adrien Agreste.

Ever since the first few cases were confirmed, he was put on lockdown. He was taken out of school without warning, and essentially locked in his room for the past 3 weeks.

Father claimed it was for his own safety. But he figured out by Day 3 it wasn't. Suddenly, there were blocks on his computer (Nathalie said Father didn't want him to stress over the outbreak) and his phone had disappeared around Day 5. And when he tried sneaking out to help Ladybug, he found the windows welded shut. Too risky to destroy those.

Fear. Fear took him over. It gripped his heart and all he could do was curl up in a corner and stare outside.

Twenty-One. Twenty-One days- No. It had been Twenty-Two now, Someone just slid breakfast through a gap in the door. (For his protection. Social Distancing was the best thing to do without a cure).

He looked out the window at Paris's empty sky line. Ladybug had stopped appearing over Paris around Day 15 for her own safety (that's what he had guessed, anyways, he had no clue since the TV 'stopped working' around Day 7)

He smelled cheese. Plagg. He stood up, legs aching as he grabbed the plate and looked around for the Kwami.

Sure enough, Plagg floated out of the bathroom, sniffing hungrily. When he saw Adrien's face however, he shook his head. "Kid. No. You have to eat, too."

Adrien shook his head, a sad smile on his face, putting the plate down and retreating back to his corner. Plagg's tail dropped. Adrien had stopped eating around Day 18: The same day he stopped talking.

Plagg floated away from the dish, plopping down next to Adrien instead. That seemed to get his attention, until he turned away, resting his head against the wall.

Suddenly, the door opened. Plagg hid among the pillows as Adrien looked back.

"Adrien." Father appeared, hands behind his back and looking as intimidating as ever. His voice was hollow, but it had the slightest tinge of emotion.

Adrien stood up and turned around, the slightest glimmer of hope in his eyes. "...Yes, Fathe-"

"I have received news that the virus is spreading exponentially fast. Faster than anyone has been anticipating. Paris's lockdown will be in affect for another 3 months."

Adrien's expression shifted to that of disbelief. He looked down at the floor and nodded. "Ok... Thank you for telling me, Father..."

Father's expression seemed to shift as well. The tiniest of frowns appeared. "Adrien... I didn't want to bring this up, but... One of your classmates was among the new cases today."

Horror appeared on Adrien face. "W-Which one?! Please tell me-"

"It is not of your concern, Adrien. I know this is hard. It's for our own safety right now." Before Adrien could try to argue, Father had swiftly left, the door slamming and echoing.

Adrien stood there. He stood there, frozen. He stood there so long, the sun had set, leaving him in pitch black.

And he sobbed. He sobbed and dropped to his knees.

Day 22... was when Adrien gave up

I’ve had this scenario in my head for like over a year and only just now am making it a comic. hm

hey guys i’m back with a some gloomy art. I’ve been super busy with work to and decided to take a break, and that means from illustrating or animating, or working with art AT ALL.

this is because since i work in the creative industry, it’s really hard to enjoy making art anymore. every piece feels like it has to live up to certain industry standards and that is very exhausting. i’m trying to separate fun stuff and work stuff, but it’ll take time. a long time.

so forgive me if it seemed like i’ve been churning out depressing stuff, i’ll draw happier stuff when my mood allows it :D

thanks for sticking around!

Hope you feel better lily!

I comissioned @s0lsticedraws for some sad Adrien and thank you so much for the sad boy I really love himst 💚

Please follow and comission her as well her art is *chef kiss*. You gotta it's the law sorry I don't make the rules.

I got permission to repost this by the artist!

😞😞😞😭😭😭😔😔💕💕💕💕 baby 😞😞😞 this is so good and soooo sad

I like him in his T-shirt and barefoot having a crisis. He is a vulnerable babby

Trippy ML Concept:

(Heads up. Might definitely write this fic)

Gabriel starts a new clothing line themed ‘white cat’ as inspired by Chat Noir, but instead it’s “Blanc”

Imagine. Just Marinette’s reactions. Her thoughts. The triggering. The bleeding panic. How? How?! It really messes with her memories she really wanted to forget - but now it’s all she can remember

The timeline doesn’t exist anymore... no one knows about it. No one understands why she freezes up at the teaser launch posters

And then Adrien (oblivious) starts modeling the clothing

And ofc it’s not Chat so he can wear the white mask w/out being recognised right? while Marinette, getting really and scared and fixated on all this has his photos practically glaring back at her

- And like an entire Tangled moment happens where it all screams out after so much staring and sweating where everything, everything just
