I binged a few eps of Miraculous Ladybug while I was sick today and ended up making a long-ass observation post about Gabriel as Hawkmoth (or maybe Mr. Kubdel, wtfk) instead of resting.  Because priorities.

Anyway, here’s something else I noticed that wedged itself into my brain and won’t leave.  Prepare for another long post. 

In “Origins”:

• Falls in love with a person he just met (proof he’s a Disney princess)
• Which one?  Ladybug or Marinette?  Who knows.  He gives them both the same “oh shit, I think I’m in love” look.

In “Copycat (L'Imposteur)”:

• Nino invites the girls to the movies and Marinette squeals.
  
• Adrien’s reaction (half startled, half “that was cute wtf?”)

In “Timebreaker (Chronogirl)”:

• He freaking winks at Marinette after complimenting her.
  
• Oh yeah, you’re smooth -_-
• Also, you’re a pirate.  ARGH MATEY!

See how this plays out below the cut:

I have some thoughts regarding the whole Dark Cupid debacle.  Specifically, this:

• you know Chat Noir loves you
  
• due to the fact that he (almost) told you
• not 10 minutes before
  
• his intention obviously got through by the look on your face

• then you decided “hey, true love’s kiss is a thing”
• and used that tired trope to free him
• on one hand, yay it worked?
• on the other, y’all are gonna have a Talk if he ever finds out you did that

• here’s the thing
• you’re chasing after a guy you’re only sorta friends with
• you can’t even string a coherent sentence together around him half the time
• while this sweet, brave, stupidly attractive boy LOVES YOU
• you talk to him, laugh with him and even flirt with him
• we’ve all seen the flirts, Ladybug

• you literally just broke a spell using True Love’s Kiss
• which means not only does he love you, but you’re his true love
• or he’s yours
• think about that
• *mic drop*

I told the husband (Dave) about my revelation that Nino could get the Peacock Miraculous in the future.  Between the two of us (and @luciemiddleford), I think we’ve figured out how this is gonna go.

*Nino first shows up in the costume*

Nino:  Cluck cluck, you guys!

Ladybug: …..that’s a chicken….

Nino:  *looks down at self*  Oh yeah.  My bad…..sooooo, what does a peacock say?

Chat Noir:  *trying to contain laughter*  I’ll look it up, bro.

Chat Noir: I…uh…found it…

Nino:  *has video on loop and spends 5 hours trying to do a peacock impersonation* 

Ladybug:

SPOILER: 

(you guys, I know about Le Paon and I’m guessing it’s gonna be Mama Agreste.  This is AFTER that whole deal xD)

• Wrist Holding: Parting & Reunion
• The Blurry Sword of Doom 
• Bichen at Wei Wuxian’s Throat 
• The Honor of a Glance (more of a “see how time changes things” than a parallel, exactly) 
• Troublemaker (ditto above) 
• Letting Go
• Arm Holding on Mount Yeet - Gif Overlay Challenge
• Protective Lans
• Putting Lan Zhan to Bed  
• A Gentleman’s Revenge
