Like… I’m gonna be the party pooper and say I disagree with the theory going around that he “knows” about Marinette being Ladybug; I don’t even think he suspects anything, and I’ll explain why: 2 reasons.

1. Adrien’s behavior in the last scene of the episode.

Adrien wouldn’t just… act business as usual if he suspected Marinette was Ladybug. He would act flustered, turning around to sneak glances at her, not focusing on class, playing with his pencil, maybe staring at her after class, asking Nino if Alya has said anything odd, etc. I bet he would even try to strike up a conversation, ask her how she’s doing, trying to be totally slick and inconspicuous, stuff like that. In the last scene, he was just, too relaxed!! He only glances at Marinette!!

I don’t know. To me, it doesn’t look like the face of somebody who suspects the love of his life is possibly behind him. Him knowing and acting like this just doesn’t add up, especially if you compare it to other scenes on the show which address Adrien’s feelings about this.

You could argue that the ending of the episode offered only a short amount of time, so they couldn’t show Adrien doing too much, but… Stuff like this is vital, and Thomas ( @miraculoushawkdaddy ) knows he can’t only dedicate 2 minutes to something which is pretty important to both the characters, AND development of the story. Especially something as huge as the reveal, that the whole season has been building up to. Yeah, 2 minutes isn’t nearly enough.

When Nino told Adrien that Chloe was Ladybug (Lady Wifi episode, about 8 minutes in), he immediately turned to look at her, wide eyed and open-mouthed.

I bet you he spent the rest of the class thinking over the possibility of Chloe being Ladybug, look at his face.

I believe he would behave similarly when presented with the idea that Marinette is Ladybug, except he wouldn’t look disappointed. I actually think Adrien would be incredibly happy that someone like Marinette turned out to be his Ladybug~ He would try to find similarities between them, possibly remember some of these moments, and certainly give Marinette a lot of attention (directly or indirectly). Again, he was too relaxed. He would do what Nino was doing in the zoo episode!!

Back to this: He used his stick thing to spy on Chloe, even though he pretty much knows that’s wrong and wouldn’t normally do something like that; that’s how much he wanted to know if she was really Ladybug; Adrien is a gentleman, and for him to do something like this should tell you how anxious he is to learn about her identity. ~~You could say he was only spying on Chloe to see if she was okay, but you know that’s not true, lol~~. He comes to his senses later in the episode, when he’s given the choice to truly learn who Ladybug is; but he respects and loves her too much, and closes the door, even though IT PAINS HIM TO DO SO. LOOK AT THIS CHILD:

Adrien is SO desperate to learn about her identity that it hurts him; Even in the Dark Cupid episode, he overrides the orders of the akuma whose powers he’s under, and goes straight for her secret identity instead of her miraculous.

If he suspected someone else was Ladybug, he wouldn’t act all cool and relaxed about it. He loves her too much.

How much does he love her?

That’s how much. ~~Somebody save the sun prince from himself~~. If he suspected someone like Marinette, who he admires and respects as a friend, is Ladybug, he wouldn’t act business as usual. He would, again, act flustered, try to sneak glances, talk to her, talk to Alya. SOMETHING. Yes, he respects her privacy, but it would just make him more anxious!! He would stare at her, ask Nino about what he knows, stuff like that.

2. The simple fact Thomas said this:
