idk why people think the ladrien dynamic would be the marichat dynamic now that the sides are shifting (expanding) reciprocation like these are not the same people to each other??? ladybug isn't chat noir so why would she act like him and adrien is not marinette so why would he act like her? also this is not a s1 blank slate this is s5 and these characters all have history together every interaction every side has ever had with each other informs everything they do now.

ladrien s5 is completely about the ramifications of strike back. it was never going to be nor should people want it to look like anything we've seen in the past for other sides because it's not other sides.

s5 we're seeing these boxes break down. in the same way marichat is not the new ladrien and ladrien is not the new marichat adrinette is not the new ladynoir nor is ladynoir the new adrinette.

marinette isn't going to be calm and silly around adrien like ladybug was around chat noir because that's not what she does. she's panicky and confused and so so scared and that's the battle adrien is going to have to fight. likewise i don't expect to see ladybug falling over herself trying to get with chat noir in any major or meaningful way because she is convinced that any relationship, but especially with him, will result in the apocalyptic chat blanc timeline.

ladybug and adrien i expect will be awkward around each other in the way that they will be trying to reconcile their new feelings with their old feelings while dealing with this sense of guilt that hangs over both their heads- ladybug for not knowing it was felix she was handing the miraculous over to and adrien for switching places in the first place and believing he's responsible for the whole mess.

marinette and chat noir's dynamic i expect will be some echo of what we've seen in past seasons– maybe just shyer or more uncertain. historically marichat scenes have been the vehicle through which marinette has been able to see the more serious/softer side of her partner and adrien has been able to find out more about marinette's mysterious crush. with marinette's skittishness around adrien as himself i'm sure there will be some big question in his mind when he interacts with her as chat noir– who is buttercup? where does adrien stand? is she really "over" chat noir like she said before and how can he steer her towards his civilian self if at all. meanwhile marinette believes chat noir has fully moved on from ladybug and she feels like she's too late so she'll be uncertain and wondering if she really did miss her chance, why it matters when she can't date anyone in the first place, and who exactly is chat noir crushing on now. idk how any marichat scenes will play out but i imagine these are the big questions that will hang over these interactions.

but ultimately what i think this season is working towards is the full unraveling of the gordian knot that's been woven between these two so that they can come out the other end knowing each other as the complete picture, marinette and adrien, ladybug and chat noir, two kids who very much love each other and want to call each other nauseating nicknames and have creepy cabbage patch children.

and idk i think that's exciting and i wished we embraced the nuance of the square when we talk about the dynamics more.

anyways i'm hype for this season
