ML, if Origins ended differentlyā¦
My favorite Headcannon is if the Umbrella Scene didnt happen in Orgins because imagine:
ā¢marinette just assumes Adrien is as bad as Chloe and just chooses to avoid him
ā¢Adrien gets frustrated with Marinette dismissing him so he just decides sheās assumptive and stop trying to apologize
ā¢Adrien complains to Nino about āstubborn Dupain-Chengā and Nino is amused and suggests āyea and donāt you just hate how she smells like vanilla and strawberriesā and Adrien is like āyea! and donāt get me started on-ā but stops and blushes because why must Nino expose him like this?
ā¢marinette sometimes mocks Adrien to Tikki or Alya; āoh Iām Adrien Agreste; Iām gifted at the piano and fencing, blah blah blahā but doesnāt realize thatās sheās complimenting him constantly even though Alya tries to hint to her about it
ā¢Adrien is lowkey calling out Marinette during class by saying to Bustier āsome people canāt listen and forgive othersā and Marinette just sits behind him and mocks him while he talks
ā¢marienette tells bustier āwell maybe if some people understood how to not do mean things in the first place or at least be sorry they would deserve to have their explanation listened toā
ā¢we get lots of scenes where Marinette and Adrien are in each otherās faces, lots of sassy arguing and always them calling each other only by their last names
ā¢meanwhile Chat and LB had revealed their crushes on each other way early on but Ladybug shut it down saying āIām sorry but this is our job. Weāre going on missions, not dates, we canāt be together Chat noirā they stop flirting and being romantic but they both secretly still have repressed feelings for each other
ā¢ladybug and chat becomes a badass best friend duo (still pretty cannon)
ā¢in Evillustator, Chat is annoyed about having to watch Marinette but just sucks it up and goes since Ladybug asked him to
ā¢When Chat gets to her house Mari has a plate of passion fruit macaroons ready because she just so happens to be making them (itās actually because Chat told ladybug he loves passion fruit on a missions once)
ā¢Chat is shocked and weirded out by how sweet Mari is to his alter ego and wonders why she canāt be this nice to Adrien but just thinks itās because chat is a hero and all
ā¢Chat canāt help but make a snarky comment to Marinette (maybe because she mentioned a certain annoying Adrien to him) and she turns into Sassinette for a second and snatches his half eaten macaroon from his hand saying sheāll give it back if he apologizes
ā¢Mari and chat get really in each otherās faces and stare intensely seeing who will break first
ā¢Chat leans back and inhales āSorry, princessā & Marinette stares for a moment before smiling softly and giving his macaroon back āyouāre forgiven, Iām sorry tooā
ā¢Chat meant to call Mari āprincessā sarcastically but it makes her heart flutter anyways
ā¢Chat wonders if only Marinette would let Adrien apologize whether it would be that easy to forgive
ā¢Alya asks Mari about her time with Chat at the end of the episode and Adrien blushes as he heard Marinette go on about how cool he is
ā¢in Horrificator, Adrienette are made the leads because Alya and Nino are attempting to get them to be friends and put an end to this stupid feud
ā¢they freak out when they hear about the kiss
ā¢in Animan, Nino himself invites Mari to the zoo but asks if Adrien will come for support since heās nervous, Adrien doesnāt understand why Nino likes Marinette but he says āIāll help you out but only because youāre helplessā
ā¢little to Adriens knowledge this whole this is another elaborate plan from Alya and Nino to have Adrien & Marinette end up āaloneā at the zoo together and become friends (Alya and Nino are secretly watching from afar)
ā¢in Kung Food, Adrienette are both annoyed that Alya set them up but Mari genuinely needs help and Adrien does actually want to practice his Chinese
ā¢when Chloe is racist tho Adrien calls her out and after Chloe leaves Adrien tells Mari ālook I donāt like you, Dupain-Cheng. But no one deserves that treatmentā and even reluctantly reveals to Marinette that Sifu does like her
ā¢itās quiet for a moment and marinette just kinda nudges him with her hand and whispers āthanksā
ā¢Chat complains about this girl that is stubborn about not letting him apologize and he doesnāt know what to do, Ladybug tells him to find a common interest and try to bond with her
ā¢Lb complains about this jerk in her class and chat says āwhy donāt you give him a chance and if heās still a jerk Iāll handle him!ā
ā¢In Gamer, Mari signs up for the tournament because she knows sheās good and wants to rub it in Agrestes face (she didnāt know they would be partnered)
ā¢marinette pulverized Adrien but then they have to be partners and Adrien is gonna refuse at first but remember ladybugs suggestion so he decides to try it anyways
ā¢marinette doesnt try to get out of the tournament because sheās trying to give Adrien a shot like Chat said to
ā¢When adrien comes over Mari is panicking to get a bunch of chat noir stuff off her walls because she think Adrien will make fun of her
ā¢the gaming scene is similar just a little more angsty and competitive and Mari still gives him her lucky charm but itās because she feels bad since Adrien reveals he spends most time cooped up in his room at home with little free time and can only play the game alone and heās not even that good at it
ā¢the rest of the episodes goes pretty similar except instead of marinette saying āheās always so over the topā When chat leaves her on the roof she tells Tikki āheās so cool!ā
ā¢in Volpina, Marinette was just in the library for research and doesnāt want to follow Adrien but Tikki says she needs the book
ā¢marinette realized Lila is lying about LB and the Fox miraculous but doesnāt say anything since sheās not jealous, she just hopes Agreste isnāt really that dumb
ā¢the rest of the ep goes pretty similar but except it (the season finale) ends with the umbrella scene
ā¢adrien says ālook, today I found out this one person lied to me and I realized when people get wrong information it can lead to bad things so i just wanted to make sure you have all the right informationā *gives the same umbrella scene explanation*
ā¢marinette has a pretty similar reaction to cannon but she makes her acceptance of the apology verbal this time āIām sorry I didnāt give you a chance to explainā and then he gives her the umbrella
ā¢Adrien says āsee you tomorrow, Marinetteā and leaves
ā¢marinette stammers and tells Tikki āh-he called me marinetteā
