Poor Chaton..
I’m too deep in these reveal scenarios especially with Chat Blanc/ Chat Noir and his dad.
I’m going to digitalize this i just felt like posting it since it might take a while. My laptop isn’t working
Parents Day
We talk about these reveals where one of them finds out, or they both find out at the same time, but what about a three-way reveal?
One-shot

In a stunning display of paternal affection, Gabriel finally does come in for some parent day activity. Adrien is beside himself and drags his father around to meet his friends. Rose, Kim, Nathanael… Adrien introduces them all with enthusiasm. Gabriel really doesn’t care about meeting them, but he doesn’t outright say that to his son.
What he does care about is Miss Dupain-Cheng’s earrings. He catches sight of them as she’s turning to say something to her friend. They sparkle in the light just as he looks across the room at her. They’re plain, a deep red, but he’s poured over that miraculous book enough to know that they’re very similar. Very, very similar.
Adrien sees his father staring at Marinette and tows him over to her. Of course he would want his father to get to know Marinette better. They both like fashion. She’s polite and cheerful and helpful. She’s probably one of the only friends his father would allow to visit house. And Adrien would love it if he could spend more time with her.
Gabriel allows himself to be led, though he still pretends to be disinterested. Just to keep up appearances. Adrien makes some hasty introductions, though his father is barely listening. Instead, he’s staring at the girl’s ears. They’re hard to see now that she’s looking at him directly. It’s all he can do from reaching forward and turning her head with his hand for a better look.
But Marinette is fidgety and nervous, and Gabriel feels disappointment set in. There’s no way this timid, stuttering girl could be the Ladybug that reacts so coolly under pressure.
The conversation tapers off awkwardly, and she turns to scoot away, face pink in embarrassment. But those earrings. They do look so much like the ladybug miraculous.
"Excuse me, Miss Marinette.“
"Y-yes?!” The girl turns back to him so fast that she almost loses her balance. Adrien perks up in excitement that his father wants to continue speaking with one of his friends.
"Those are very nice earrings. Would you allow me to see them for a moment?“
One of Marinette’s hands wanders up to her ear, covering the jewel. At first, she only appears surprised, but her expression quickly becomes guarded, all traces of social anxiety gone. The change is startling. "I’d rather not, sir,” she says clearly.
Wait, Guys!…
All this time we’ve talked about what they’ll remember post-reveal, what things they’ll call each other out on, I wanna know what happens when Adrien remembers getting stood up!
“Wait, you’re Ladybug!”
“And you’re Chat Noir,” Marinette rolling her eyes, “we figured this out like a month ago,”
“No, if you’re Ladybug, then that means you were free the night you stood me up. You were sitting alone on your balcony, why didn’t you come to see me?”
“You had to be there, actually- yeah, you had to be there, that was the whole point.”
“What on earth is that supposed to mean?” Poor Adrien really was lost on that one.
“That was the night everyone was going out for ice cream, I ditched Chat Noir hoping Adrien would show, and then you didn’t so I went home to mope while Andre became akumatized. Then Chat showed up.
“Also, I saw your surprise, and I thought it was so sweet and I felt so bad for leaving you all alone. I never knew you were actually in love with me before that point.”
“You never knew? It’s not like I was exactly subtle. Miss-I-told-you-to-your-face-that-we’re-just-friends-nothing-more.”

This is a PSA
Stormy Weather 2 was a good episode and here’s why (Spoilers ahead):
- While there was a ton of old footage used, it serves a great purpose in showing what is internally important to each character. This is especially needed because we see most of the show following Marinette. This episode is not about the Akuma, it’s about character growth and the flashbacks show how they are learning from past mistakes, and sets the stage for a lot of important things to happen soon in the season.
- Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that it has been confirmed that Emilie Agreste is not actually dead so I’m bringing it up: Emilie Agreste is not dead. Nathalie said that she slowly fell into an eternal sleep. This could possibly be a result of the damage to the peacock miraculous.
- Nathalie is still affected by her transformation into Mayura, this can lead to a variety of different future plot points, including her fate being similar to Emilie’s.
- Nooroo calls Gabriel out on his lack of affection toward his son. This could lead to future plot points.
- Marinette makes a real effort to get more comfortable around Adrien. This shows how she is growing as a character and really sets up for some good things to happen in future episodes.
- The DjWifi scene where they reflect on how they met and got together was so important. It shows us how Hawkmoth’s appearance has really changed the lives of each person in Paris, not just Adrien and Marinette.
- The Akuma attack was shown following regular citizens instead of the heroes. We haven’t seen an attack from this perspective before. We usually don’t think much of it, Ladybug and Chat Noir will always save the day, after all, but in this episode we see the fears of those who live average lives and it’s incredibly important.
- Adrien almost grows a brain cell and figures out that Mari likes him, almost. While it is extremely frustrating that his ultimate conclusion is that she’s just a friend who’s into fashion, it’s still important because he brings it up as a possibility and gets his mind off of Ladybug.
- In Conclusion: Stop bitching about this episode barely having any new content because it has a ton. It brings a whole new perspective into the picture and sets up for an amazing, plot and growth filled season.
this was possibly the worst version of “she’s just a friend” we have had yet
