the yin-yang logic between adrien and marinette implies that adrien’s passion is food

i can’t ever let this one go because food is so interwoven with human connection. the same human connection adrien was depraved of for years.

Simulacrums of luck, day 6: REVELATION

She’s ok she’s just gonna need some doliprane

silly thing I thought of while I was on the phone with my friend

It’s based off of that one horse “how hungry” meme ,,

it was funnier in my head 😓

Thought Marinette looked cute. Couldn’t get Adrien’s perfect face to work out though so have a Plagg sticker instead 😉✌

Feels good to draw something stupid again

well i wanna draw something stupid too

guy who says "this is the worst day of my life" and then pulls out a spreadsheet ranking every day of their life so far to prove it

I think Marinette and Adrien should break up but like only like she’s on the phone with him and he’s like hey we should get married someday, you can wear my other ring :) and she’s like chzzzzsssszszszzzzz Adrien? I’m going through a tunnel and sssccchhh break cccczzzzzz up czzzzchhhh

@wield-the-mighty-pen’s tags are brilliant:

inspired by recent events from my sister’s actual real life

Sometimes I think about how Adrien, throughout the series, constantly grapples with his fear of abandonment. Gabriel conditioned him to believe that any love he receives is purely transactional, and that to earn affection he has to prove his utility. Adrien is constantly trying to prove his worth to his father for scraps of affection, and Chat Noir infamously crumbles on-screen any time he feels as though he is replaceable to Ladybug. It's a constant insecurity of his, like everyone will just dump him like a sack of potatoes the moment they find out how useless he is.

Meanwhile, all Marinette wants to is ensure that Adrien is happy. Because she loves him. She doesn't give two shits about how """useful""" he is. She holds him and tells him that she will never abandon him (both as Ladynoir and as Adrienette), and her fantasies are about saving him, not about him being "useful" to her. Throughout their relationship, Adrien is forced to disappoint Marinette constantly for reasons outside of his control (amok commands), and yet Marinette is still there for him.

At Adrien's lowest point, when he is forcibly torn away from everyone who had ever showed him genuine care, locked away in an all-white room and at his most "useless", right after disappointing Marinette and unable to even join the final battle or contribute in any way, she still saves him. She still loves him. Because he doesn't have to prove anything to her. Because he is loved and cherished for who he is, not for what he does, and that love is not conditional. Adrien's "happy ending" at the end of the first arc wasn't about him finally proving how useful he can be, because he never actually cared about being useful — he just saw it as the only means to feel loved and needed. Instead, in the end, he found out that he was loved and needed no matter what.

*looks at you like this*

world needs more online lovesquare AUs. like no-miraculous AUs where Ladybug and Chat Noir are their online personas and they're dating on discord or something. met in a gaming discord or something and clicked. marinette being just generally wary/cautious of giving out personal information online and adrien obviously has reasons to not use his real name (he's a celebrity irl and wants people to treat him like a peer). or even AUs where Ladybug and Chat Noir ARE still superheroes and they're just ALSO dating on discord SEPARATELY as a FIFTH lovesquare side and---

An AU Where…

Marinette can read minds but only when the other person is thinking about bread

steampunk au.

machanical designer!marinette/machine boy!adrien

in this au the human ad died at 6. then gabriel made a machanical copy of him just to see their son smiling and running in the minor again, but they found that this machine boy could do much more.

(i spelled his name wrongly in the pic. )

day & night, as if

Adrien and Marinette from my AU (go to my tumblr if you want to see them as Coccinelle and Chat Noir <: )

does anyone else form their headcanons of marinette and adrien largely on the basis of "they have to be opposite each other"? like, creation and destruction, yin and yang, etc. like Marinette being late all the time and sleeping through her alarms? so she's probably a deep sleeper? So that means, by the laws of my lovesquare headcanons according to my brain, Adrien has to be a light sleeper. Marinette is a chaotic creative person and I can imagine her just having so much STUFF all around and living in organized chaos. so therefore Adrien likes his spaces neat and clear. (also something something creation and clutter vs destruction and emptiness) you know??? ???? ? adrien and marinette headcanons just cant be independent of each other in my brain. they are always intrinsically linked

something so fucked up about Chat Noir’s whole deal is that he is in a lot of ways Adrien playing a character. Like Adrien picked up his miraculous and was told he’d be a superhero so he was like “ok, time to act like a superhero!” and he lets himself have fun w it and play up the role and let loose and kind of just allow himself to be silly and goofy and have fun and for once in his life not care about performing Perfection™.

But. But none of the other characters KNOW THAT. So everyone just sees Chat Noir and is like “look at this guy’s ego. He’s so full of himself. Surely it’d be fair to knock him down a few pegs” without being aware of how few pegs he actually HAS. He’s like the “insecure character who overcompensates in ego” trope except he’s really not doing it unironically, he’s just having a fun LARP pretending to have self worth in his off-hours but nobody else is on the same page about it being a game and he refuses to tell them. He just dramatically pouts about it and lets them laugh and pretends like he’s not internalizing it and it is almost 3 am and my brain forced me to write this instead of sleeping I’m gonna take a melatonin

I like to imagine that post-reveal Marinette realizes this with dawning horror and Ladybug goes from “playfully roasting chat noir and also not really intervening when others roast him more seriously” to being “suddenly and aggressively protective of Chat Noir for reasons nobody else understands”

Chat Noirs like “I’m the sexiest coolest and most awesome cat in the entire mewniverse and everyone’s just jealous ;3c” and another hero opens their mouth to playfully retort and Ladybug snaps her head to them like “WHAT??? YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING THE SEXIEST COOLEST AND MOST AWESOME CAT IN THE ENTIRE MEWNIVERSE?????? DO YOU???? HUH???? BECAUSE YOURE JEALOUS???????”

you know how cat owners will defend their scraggly little cats no matter what they do? post reveal marinette is like that with plagg. adrien catches her scratching his lil belly and finding extra cheese for him and he’s like “don’t let him manipulate you for snacks!” and mari is just like “but adrien he’s just a little guy. just a hungry little guy he needs cheese to live what else can i do he’s just a little baby” and plagg just smirks at adrien
