Let’s Actually Do Something with the Photos of Adrien in Marinette’s Room Instead of Just Making Fun of Her
I know what you’re thinking - “All those photos of Adrien that Marinette has makes her come off as a creepy stalker.” I’m personally not fond of this sentiment, but I get where it comes from. I don’t deny that when it comes to Adrien, Marinette gets obsessive and has difficulty focusing on anything else. It’s draining to watch because the show would rather make fun of Marinette for being like this rather than discuss why she might be obsessive, or offering her ways to actually work on her friendship with Adrien.
So instead of that, let’s make an arc out of it.
#ml salt#ml rewrite#ml plot bunny#ofc being a lukanette stan#i also have an au of this scenario#where when marinette gets closer to luka#she starts putting up pictures of him instead#but doesn't need to rely on talking to them to express herself#bc she's never had difficulty with that#eventually#she's able to put adrien photos back up after they establish#that they're just friends#but her photos of luka are in the center of her collection#or they're in areas she's most likely to look at when working at her desk#but since i'm trying to rewrite this into the canon of the show#it's lovesquare focused#also i'm open to suggestions on this#i just really like the idea of marinette's room reflecting her inner psyche#or taking something that's meant to be a joke#and actually making it relevant to a character's development#this whole idea is making me think of the song love deterrence by nana mizuki#back when s2 ended#i thought how nice it would be to have an amv of their moments set to that song#but then s3 ruined everything for me#so i'm just going to imagine this scenario and the version of the show that uses it#being set to that song as an amv#salty rambles
