That feeling when ur brush isnt working well but u still go on
I like to think that they practice combat with each other when Paris isn’t in need of saving oh and i have no idea how to draw fight scenes
chat holding his hand over ladybug’s heart and going ‘mine’ flirty eyes and everything ladybug takes his hand and moves it off, replacing it with her own over her heart ‘mine’ puts his hand on his heart 'yours’ and then grins as she brings her other hand to rest over his, and his other to rest over hers 'Ours’
I might just cry. I picture it in my head. And Chat would get all flustered and stuff because he can dish out the flirts but the real feelings leave him giddy and shy.
Because he can’t believe he feels so strongly for this beautiful amazing girl who feels so strongly about him.
And ugh! Just let me drown in my LadyNoir feels.
okay cool but I’m going to need marinette lowkey highkey trying to be lowkey in taking care of adrien and chat in both her forms
thoughts??
while I enjoy everyone’s thoughts for a lark, it seems to me that they’re treating Marinette as a stand in for the reader, and their Marinette acts as though she understands Adrien’s suffering, but that is so SO out of character and frankly it’s a crime to erase Marinette’s character like that, so buckle up, friends. play time is over. here’s the deal:
Marinette is nice because she cares, but she doesn’t understand. Marinette strikes me as a very sympathetic person, but not a particularly empathetic one, which is a fine line to walk. she’s bold and straightforward and very confrontational: once she’s had enough, she’s had enough. Empathetic Adrien expresses discomfort around Chloé, but he never shuts her down in quite the same way Marinette and Ladybug do. As caring as she is, Marinette is not looking past EITHER of Adrien’s masks.
so let’s do this a different way.
Ladybug doesn’t need to understand exactly what makes Chat Noir tick to laugh and smile and respond to him, to humor his bursts of energy after simpler battles. Chat Noir bribes her with cookies to stay with her after akuma battles and race with him, and when Marinette has time Ladybug plays with her cat.
Ladybug fights with Chat Noir over his endless sacrifices. Chat Noir throws his arms around his Lady when she throws herself needlessly into the jaws of an akuma, but Ladybug suffers every time he takes a blow, with every distraction that reduces Chat Noir’s time to five minutes, with every arrow that pierces Chat Noir’s skin, with every touch that rips Chat Noir from Ladybug’s side.
Ladybug can fight alone, but she doesn’t want to, and when she figures that out (when she loses Chat Noir one too many times), she thanks her partner for being her partner, showers him in praise and affection and insistent reminders that she needs him, so please please stay beside her.
Marinette gets Chloé off Adrien’s back, not because she realizes exactly how uncomfortable Adrien gets, but because she is jealous. Adrien mistakes Marinette’s jealousy for kindness, and so he thanks her. Marinette is used to people around Chloé bowing and scraping— isn’t that who Sabrina is? if Adrien disliked Chloé, wouldn’t he simply push her away?— but the moment Adrien thanks her, she catches a glimpse of Adrien’s kindness, Adrien’s empathy, and she doesn’t understand it. Marinette, who lives so fiercely by the rule to “do no harm but take no shit,” does not understand why Adrien takes so much shit. It’s by Marinette’s example also that Adrien begins to stand up to Chloé, begins to allow hints of Chat’s impatience through when dealing with the girl he grew up with.
Marinette validates Adrien with her smiles and her laughter and how responsive she grows to him, how she dotes on him because she loves him, how tenderly she tugs at the scarf she his father gave him in the mornings by their lockers, how she will fume and rage on his behalf when he cracks and confides in her, how she will ask if he needs a hug and fold her arms under his and hook her chin over his shoulder and let him hide his face in her shoulder.
Marinette doesn’t need to consciously realize how lonely Adrien is to want to shower him with gifts. As they grow closer, as Adrien compliments Marinette more and more (and he already compliments her so much), as he naturally starts to spend more time in the Dupain-Cheng household, first with the rest of their classmates, then with Alya and Nino, until he’s had just enough conversations in Mandarin with Sabine, until he’s arranged another tournament with Tom, until it’s just him being plied with baked goods and smothered in hugs, until he looks at the picture on the shelf and blushes and smiles because he’s there, too.
so I wanted to put this as tags but uH LMAO I WENT OVERBOARD AF SO

- Bringing him little snacks and treats constantly, especially on days when she knows he’s going to be busy or particularly active
(I mean she does know his whole schedule like damn gurl show some chill). She always says it’s ‘cus her parents made too much of x by mistake, but in reality the whole D-C clan has unanimously, unspokenly decided that Adrien is Their Child now, and they cook/bake extra stuff specifically to give to him. - Eventually Mari realizes that for all his bravado (as Chat) and the abundance of people who fawn over him (for superficial reasons, as the Over-Achieving Supermodel Son of a Rich Prestigious Designer), Adrien’s pretty fucking starved for approval, so she gets into the habit of praising him a lot. Not in a gushing fakey way, though- She’s just always sure to point out when he’s done something well, and goes out of her way to reaffirm to him, usually with comments that are meant to seem offhanded, that he’s important and appreciated.
- Also, physical affection, 'cus he’s starved for that too. (Apparently he just does a lot of starving. #LetAdrienEat2k16.) Mari isn’t going to be outright clingy, but Adrien’s canonically always been super comfortable with giving casual contact– Putting his arm around Mari’s waist, touching/grabbing/kissing her hand, putting his hands on her shoulders, that sort of thing; It wouldn’t be hard for her to start returning the gestures more often, gradually so as to not draw his attention to it.
- Distracting/cheering him up when he seems sad by coming up with reasons for him to spend time with her and/or their friends. Asking him to help her practice chinese or to go to the park with she and Manon, organizing an easy study session with them, Alya, and Nino, challenging him to a little game of tag over rooftops or a round of video games.
- Enforcing the occasional Fuck-It Day™ 'cus that kid has a lot on his plate and needs to chill once in a while. They could like. Tell Gabriel they’re having a study day at the library or something, and then go to the theater and watch three movies in a row while gorging on candy and popcorn. Hit the mall after for window shopping, try on all the ugliest/most ridiculous clothes they can find. Just silly fun stuff that Adrien’s probably never had the opportunity to do.
- A hat and mitten set that goes well with but doesn’t precisely match that scarf, so she doesn’t give herself away. Gotta make sure ya’ boo stays warm, man.
- She will bake that boy birthday cakes and no one will fucking stop her. Get their whole class to have a little celebration over lunch break the day of, with balloons and snacks and a big hand-made card signed by everyone. She’s happy that her dumb cat was born and he is damn well going to know it.
- Lecturing him to be a little less reckless with himself during fights because oh my god.

After fighting, lucky charms, treated wounds and identities revealed~
Weeeell.. this is my first animated gif, so forgive the graphics and everything else.
I can’t help but think about Adrien and Marinette, after they revealed their identities, after they were able to fight a really evil Akuma, after they come home exhausted and fall asleep, keeping warm to each other, and love.
This is the original image, hope you like it <3
@mademoisellecoccinelle yes but how cute would chat noir and ladybug snow angels be
I need to lie down
I RAISE YOU LADYBUG AND CHAT NOIR SNOWMEN
can paris even get that much snow let alone the right kind of snow for snowman making
Also SNOWBALL FIGHTS TO THE DEATH.
But like:
Nobody’s surprised in the wintertime if there’s a pair of snow angels on the roof, or ones that appear the parks overnight, one with a set of ears and one with two sets of wings like a ladybug’s. Or if they wake up to find elaborate snow battles taking place in public parks by a dozen staged snowmen. Old foes and new, sometimes armies of akuma and sometimes their henchmen, with two snowmen standing in the center of it all, one with cat ears and one with pigtails. Alya’s always excited to get pictures up on the Ladyblog, and no one will dare touch them during the day, preferring to let the snow sculptures stand until the sun melts them away.
But sometimes a park will be completely trampled in the morning by two pairs of footprints, one slim and narrow, the other boots that leave paw prints behind. The snow is kicked up and scraped together in haphazard fortresses, and more often than not kids will flock to these scenes of battle and pick up the game, using the abandoned walls and wind breaks for their own fights to the death. Sometimes if they’re lucky, two figures in black and red will join the fight, taking the lead of opposing teams and leading their troops with enthusiasm and ruthlessness. No one is safe when Ladybug and Chat Noir are pitted against each other, but the only danger is of cold fingers and toes, and smiling so hard that cheeks go sore.
Winter in Paris used to be so dreary and dismal, but now it’s filled with laughter and light even when the sun has long been trapped behind the clouds, and it’s all thanks to two young heroes who refuse to let the weather get the best of them.
Aaaand here I am with a fanart of Simulacrum~ An original idea of akumatized Adrien by @naptillmorning Go check the original designer~
