Marinette: I won’t get akumatised! I am proud. I am strong. I am-
Hawkmoth: You are Lady Justice
Marinette: No! I’m not-
Hawkmoth: You will finally have the power to reveal Lila as a liar. Punish Chloe for all she did to you. Hold those accountable for their actions. Expose the mayor for abusing his power to appease his daughter.
Marinette: I won’t-
Hawkmoth: You will make the world truly just and right the wrongs of this world.
Marinette: I refuse-
Hawkmoth: With a single judgement they all must obey your ruling. Doesn’t that sound good? You can finally protect the weak. The powerless. The silent. Those who disobey rules will be the only ones to face judgement, so you really aren’t harming anyone. Isn’t that what you wanted? To help?
Marinette: No! I won’t! I refuse! I won’t wear this horrible outfit
Hawkmoth: You will……what?
Marinette: I get you akumatised me and this time I lost but you’re really making me wear this? I have designed countless outfits. Even Adrien wore my designs and Audrey Bourgeois complimented them. Couldn’t you have given me colours that go better with my skin tone? Seriously, did you just spend all your style on Volpina and Dark Cupid so I have to wear something so horrible and don’t even get me started on what you made Nino wear. Plus this sword is just tacky and oversized. Never fought with one before. Why would you think this was a good idea? Thanks for making the scales so I don’t have to hold them but can be weaponized, but how do you expect me to fight in this? Why not just put me in a cool stylised black judge robes? Really Hawky?
Hawkmoth: I thought you were fighting the akumatisation
Marinette: Well, after I have a half decent outfit I may but right now this is just an insult.
Hawkmoth: Well, I like it.
Marinette: You don’t. Nobody does. Ladybug’s may not be perfect but at least it’s practical unlike this garish thing. So see ya, because I don’t want to hurt people, I don’t want to help you, and most importantly I really don’t want to wear this tacky design that looks like something Manon would draw up.
And that’s the story of how after Zombiezou and twice in Chameleon she fought off akumatisation but nearly fell to temptation, with Hawkmoth still failing because despite being a fashion designer Gabriel Agreste isn’t great at akuma outfits all the time.
