“Marinette took down all her pictures of Adrien when she realized what a weirdo she was being and started acting like a Normal Person and-” cool I already stopped reading
petition to replace this with “marinette took down all her pictures of adrien modeling, as he’d stopped modeling at 18 and now that she was 22 it was getting a bit weird to have pictures of a teenage boy on her walls. mostly for adrien, who also slept there and said that waking up to hundreds of pictures of his teenage face was a bit disorienting“
Perfect but also every year on April Fool’s Day (if they celebrate it in France) Mari wakes up early and decorates their room with his model pictures and every year Adrien pretends to hate it and everyday Mari and Plagg love it.
Listen if you think Adrien isn’t absolutely in love with Marinette’s lingering Weird Little Girl tendencies then I’m not sure what show you’re watching. His reaction to finding out she has a whole wall of just pictures of him would be “oh god do I not have enough pictures of her? She has a whole wall and I just have this nook in my closet, I’m falling behind!” and then he replaces his entire wallpaper with custom stuff featuring her face
It’s like that post about neurodivergent people acting like two furbies who haven’t realized the other one is a furby yet and then one of them realizes and goes “dance?” and they start dancing in unison
The difference between Mari and Adrien’s love for each other is Mari’s family is supportive and kind enough to let her hang up pictures of her crush on her wall while Adrien’s dad is awful and won’t allow him to “mess up” the carefully manicured set up of his room, so Adrien keeps his photos on his phone or hidden inside trophies and cabinets
