@hzlspot@Thomas_Astruc We literally get the legendary scene right after that where Cat Noir destroys the akuma with Cataclysm and they hug, realizing the feelings are mutual. Everything Marinette said before that basically got cancelled out.
Quick reminder: Gabriel is NOT Adrien’s biological father. They aren’t related at all and never have been.
Their son was created with the Peacock Miraculous by Emilie Agreste herself. She literally created the pregnancy, carried the child herself, and gave birth to him herself. Gabriel has no blood, genetic, or any other biological connection to Adrien, which is exactly why he never truly cared about his son.
You can say, “But he loved him in the earlier seasons, he protected him sometimes before completely losing it in S5.” No, he didn’t. He loved his wife, and that’s exactly why he carefully kept the last thing he had left of her in his mansion – Adrien. He “loved” Adrien through his love for Emilie, nothing more.
By S5, he became completely obsessed with defeating Ladybug. That season is exactly when he showed his true face toward Adrien, coldly sending him off to London not to protect him, but because he was convinced Emilie was about to come back and Adrien personally wasn’t needed anymore, just an old reminder of her.
In the S5 finale, he realized what he had done, which is exactly why he told Marinette not to tell Adrien anything about Hawk Moth or any of his other dark secrets.
“Getting sentimental over a sentimonster?” – S3E24. Gabriel’s own words, and a pretty clear demonstration of how he viewed Adrien.
In S5 btw, episode 6, Luka was supposedly trying to push Marinette and Adrien together by making Adrien jealous. He was hugging Marinette way too closely, walking around holding her hand, that’s such Katherine behavior: trying to get an ex back through obvious hints while simultaneously pissing off the person they’re currently with.
I NEED a fic where Luka eventually starts taking revenge on Adrien for real.
#DesperateHousewives and #Miraculous fans, hear me out: I can’t stop thinking that if Miraculous had a higher age rating, Luka Couffaine and Katherine Mayfair could’ve had basically the same storyline, if you know what I mean… neither of them could let go of the person they loved.
I also wanna add that whenever he found out in different episodes that Adrien was actually Cat Noir, he never ran to understand him, he immediately started figuring out how to use him to take Ladybug’s Miraculous.
In Style Queen, Gabriel’s whole “what’s done is done” attitude showed he wasn’t worried about Adrien because he saw the villain as his masterpiece and was convinced he was about to get the Miraculouses and then his wife back.
In Gorizilla, he genuinely worried about Adrien because he wasn’t sure Gorizilla would actually bring him the Miraculouses.
His “love” for Adrien works in impulses: the closer he gets to bringing Emilie back, the more he suppresses that performative love for Adrien.

@yourladynoirr@riverhynn He said I’m 14 because apparently I don’t accept all this tolerance shit. Fuck that shit, I don’t care. And he still hasn’t backed up a single word he said.
Imagine being isolated from society from birth until you’re 15, barely talking to anyone except one friend, your brother, and a father who basically speaks to you through recordings once a year. Then suddenly you’re thrown into the real world, and people call you a pick me.
Got the picture? Great. Adrien doesn’t have to imagine it. Bravo.
@DesignTrack894 Yeah, I completely agree. It genuinely feels like there’s this massive gap between the S5 and S6 fanbases now, and at this point I can’t even tell who actually knows the show and who just hopped on with S6.
I’ll say it again: I despise NEW Marinette stans. I love this character, and both she and her old fanbase were way better, people could actually talk without making everything personal. New animation, new fanbase: both are full of completely unhinged people obsessed with her.
Like someone I know once said: «getting blocked by someone is basically a quality seal for your take»
Why do people find it so easy to publicly insult you, then block you before you can even respond? Hmmmm… 5–0 to me. New-gen Marinette stans are weird.

@d1zzy_0m Yeahhh, I got it. I laughed at the video too, I just wanted to explain my actual point to the people who didn’t take it as a joke, but as a literal statement and genuinely believe it.❤
