Nino knew that, he always knew. She was a reporter and
too smart to be fooled. He knew she had figured out Marinette’s secret identity
only a year after Ladybug had shown up.
For Adrien it had taken her about two weeks longer but
she had figured out that boy’s secret as well.
But to upkeep their secret and not to worry them that
Hawkmoth would target a knowing civilian, she had kept their secret like her
own, never letting them know that she knew exactly well what they were doing
when suddenly vanishing during Akuma attacks.
So, he hadn’t even tried hiding from her that
Marinette had chosen him as Carapace and thus, a temporary helper. Of course,
he hadn’t told her right away but as he had dropped into her room at midnight,
in his suit, she had already been a little suspecting. Even though she had
already known to 80% that it had to be him. She wasn’t dumb, she had been
picked as Rena and Carapace had definitely been too similar to her beloved
boyfriend.
A few cues from him and she had thrown her arms around
him, excitedly pressing a kiss to his lips and grinning from one ear to the
other. She had known from the start and even though careful, she had just
needed his nickname for her.
Yes, surprising Alya was not an easy task. He had
known that and that’s why he naturally had to try and pick the hardest thing to
surprise her with. Naturally.
there’s a difference between being bi, and trying to pass off two characters as in a relationship when they keep coming back and affirming that one of them is romantically interested in someone else
as much as I’d like the explanation to be “they’re in an open poly relationship,” I really doubt that they were going for a poly relationship on a kids show
queerbaiting is when a show implies two characters are in a same-sex relationship and then in-show throws in an excuse that disproves it. like, yknow, having a straight love interest come out of nowhere
good queer representation: Nathanael Kurtzberg. Has a crush on a girl in a previous season, gets over her, has a relationship with a nonbinary character in a later season
bad queer representation: Rose Lavillant. Is implied at best to be dating a girl because they have a lot of physical contact, but is only ever explicitly stated to be attracted to a male character
I’ll ship Julerose myself until the day I die, but the creators can’t claim it’s representation until it’s actually represented in the material, and that’s the tea
galaxy brain queer representation: Marc Anciel. Name is a pun for “rainbow,” wears a rainbow shirt, is inspired by a genderfluid fan, ends episode in partnership (and, optimistically, relationship) with a boy he’s implied to have a crush on
@miracu-less got me thinkin about chat noir in dark cupid bc he’s adorable??? and i felt compelled to make her an early half-birthday gift lmao
i imagine him and ladybug fighting when ladybug pulls some bugs bunny crap to get away from him when he has cornered her. He doesn’t like smoochy fighty stuff and is dramatic about it but he gets taken a back by sincerity
“Chat Noir. Honey, I get it. You’re overworked! Stressed out. But you know what? You deserve better than to be a lackey, bossed around by someone who doesn’t get how much you’re worth. A handsome cat like you deserves to have someone take you out and make you feel special. Will you let me take you out to dinner sometime?”
“–Wh… D-dinner?…………………… With me? ………… Well, I-I..I’d love to! … And you know– you’re right! I do deserve better. Day in and day out I.. ”
of course while he’s going off she sneaks away and feels bad. he springs back to his good ol evil self after getting mad. but she feels so bad she takes him out later anyway post akuma fight spontaneously even though he has no recollection of the incident
Broke: Oh my god, my poor lil cat babbu Chat is always getting captured or mind-controlled because the writers are unfair and make him play second-fiddle to Ladybug. Why can’t LB ever get saved??? uwu
Woke: Chat consciously puts himself in the line of fire to protect Ladybug and takes more hits as a result. If the ladybug miraculous were to be captured, it would mean game over. They would be royally screwed, as Chat can’t purify akumas.
Bespoke: Hawkmoth is a pure idiot, considering he has repeatedly failed to secure the cat miraculous, despite having direct control over Chat on a number of occasions.
