Adrien: I wish I was an actual cat, then I can maybe sleep all day and the people I love would cuddle me and make me feel safe and warm, and maybe I can get adopted into a home I always wanted
Plagg: That's why you have that ridiculous bell, it represents your subconsciousness desires
The only thing left for me to be excited about in ML is Marinette/Ladybug starting to simp for Chat Noir, and I can't tell you how much I can't wait to see it.
Gabriel, trying to pretend that his fight with heroes is a big game of chess, thinks about making a sacrifice of one of his main pieces on the board - Adrien.
In the D&D film, there is a moment when Edgin admits that he didn't want to bring Kira's mum back. He wanted to bring his wife back.
And I keep thinking about this, in relation to Gabriel Agreste. Because it was the same. He didn't want Adrien's mum back. He wanted his wife back. The main difference is that Edgin does care about Kira very much, while Gabriel couldn't care less about Adrien.
And in the end, Edgin uses the "wish" (the tablet of resurrection) to bring back Holga, the woman who actually raised Kira. And Gabriel also uses the wish to save Nathalie's life, who is the woman who lately has been closest to something like a mother to Adrien. But the reasoning couldn't be more different.
Edgin understands that Kira needs her mum. And her mum is Holga. So he lets go of his wife and of his past, and finally starts thinking of a future. Gabriel, on the other hand, simply cannot let go of Emilie. He just wants to be with her, even in death. He chooses death specifically not to save Nathalie, but to run away from a life without Emilie, even if it means abandoning his son one final time, after choosing to abandon him so many times, again and again, throughout five seasons. Saving Nathalie is not an end, but the means to an end: to being together with his very dead wife. It is not a sacrifice, but a suicide with a "lucky" positive side effect.
(As a bonus, please accept some very d&d potatoes to chuck Gabriel Agreste in the face with.)
