Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

“Favorite superhero, huh? I mean, Ladybug is just perfect, Chat Noire is awesome, it’s difficult to decide”, said Zoé carefully. Too carefully, apparently, because Alya noticed straight away with her interviewer skills.

“Come on, no need to be shy. The temporary heroes are cool, too! There is no wrong answer here. Even Queen Bee had her moments.”

“Yeah, well…” Zoé thought for a moment. Not about Chloé, but a different hero, one who hadn’t left her mind in weeks. Oh what the hell. Alya was probably cool.

“Actually, this is is going to sound stupid”, she continued. “But I really liked Scarabella. She was so cool! I know she was only there for a bit and in the end Ladybug took over again, but Scarabella was elegant and funny and awesome…”

Zoé sighed dreamily. Scarabella’s smile and deep brown eyes had been seared deep into her memory.

“Oh”, said Alya. “That’s… not something I hear a lot.”

“Yeah, I know, it’s not-“

“-no, no, it’s a good answer. I just didn’t expect it.”

Alya leaned in close and whispered conspiratorially.

“I know the blog is called the Ladyblog, and I love Ladybug and Chat Noire with all my heart… but I think my favorite might be Kitty Noire, actually.”

“Really?” Zoé perked up. This was highly unusual. “Thank you- I mean, that’s so cool! Those two were a great team!”

“Yeah, they were!”, Alya shouted happily. “They had so much fun together.”

“Absolutely! The way Scarabella carried Kitty…“

Zoé couldn’t believe it. Her few minutes as Kitty Noire were the high point of her existence so far, but she always assumed everyone had forgotten about this short fight. But it turned out Alya knew every moment of the event, including some that Zoé herself hadn’t even seen. Those cameras clearly must have been amazing.

Being Kitty Noire and fighting alongside Scarabella had been exhilarating. The freedom to act on her own, without any Ladybug plan to fall back on, had been scary and exciting. Scarabella had more of a plan of what to do, but she had been enjoying the fight as well. Trying out poses, moves, cat puns, it had been a blast. If only there had been a repeat.

“-and the way they were joking around”, said Alya. “God, those two were a great pair.”

“Yeah, the way Scarabella looked at Kitty, oof. I mean, jokingly, of course”, said Zoé, just to tip her toe in the water. It was what she had always said to herself: Scarabella hadn’t meant it, and now would never mean it, and she just had to live with that. But there was a part of her heart that still had hope. And with Alya memorising that fight in so much detail, well, maybe she had spotted something that Zoé hadn’t. It was worth the risk.

“Yeah, jokes…”, said Alya thoughtfully. “Or was it? The black cat and the ladybug have to flirt, after all, it’s part of the fun, right? But the way Kitty was talking… were they really just joking?”

The main reason I usually default to lesbian Chloe is because her interest in guys often seems extremely artificial and performative.

Its like if a guy performs traditional masculinity so intently that it ends up coming off as insincere. The same sort of thing tends to apply to Chloe with my reads.

Especially because her rather awkward, both too extreme, and yet very at a distance 'flirting' attempts on guys can be contrasted against her much more affectionate manner with Ladybug. Which seems to lack the same sort of language, both verbal and body, that comes out with guys.

Plus there's the fact she only ever seems to express an aesthetic appreciation (Luka), a weirdly oscillating mix of formality and performative gestures at a distant target (Ali), or otherwise seems to 'pursue' a guy who is seemingly profoundly disinterested, (Adrien).

Plus like, I tend to assume that if she wanted Adrien as a boyfriend she probably could have swung that before school was even a thing. She was literally his only friend and company, the idea she never even tried seems odd if she was truly super interesting.

Plus, when fear regarding her relationship with Adrien comes up its rooted in the friendship over a potentially lost lover. The times she does lean on the idea of Adrien being her BF, tend to be more implied and usually used for a bit of social clout before being forgotten just as quickly.

It all really adds to the feeling her interest is, either consciously or subconsciously performative. More about playing a role than it is something she's genuine about.

Oh yeah absolutely!

Chloé's supposed romantic interests are in like. Safe people. Adrien is her friend and she wouldn't mind marrying him but she knows he won't return any feelings like that. While she has connections to be able to meet various celebrities, from popular-but-quickly-irrelevant idols like XY or someone genuinely influential like Ali, they're also not really people that there's hope for a proper relationship with, so they're also 'safe' for her to show interest in.

I think the thing about Chloé's seeming to be a lesbian is mostly in the way that she repeats her parents' relationship dynamic with her most obvious relationships: Sabrina and Ladybug.

Sabrina is the more obvious one because here, Chloé is playing Audrey while Sabrina plays Andre. The demanding, the devotion, the verbal abuse mixed in with genuine affection, the cold shoulder when she does something 'wrong', etc.

With Ladybug, it flips. Chloé is fawning. She's doing anything and everything to please Ladybug. To make her like her. And falls into despair when she 'fails'.

These are things she doesn't really do with the males she's showing affection with.

Has anyone seen my dog?

He doesn't come when called, has a habit of stealing, and hates father figures.

He's a terrible dog but I miss him and want to see him again.

Oh hey I literally saw this one in Essen at Techno Classica three weeks ago!

It was for sale, but "price available on request", and given the prices of the other vehicles around it, I don't think I could have afforded it either way.

It just makes a lot of sense why Marcille and Laios would be good friends, really, because Marcille Will Tell You What Is On Her Mind. If she doesn't like something, she throws a tantrum. If she's down to clown, she clowns like a champ. If she has an opinion, she voices it clearly and concisely. Laios knows exactly where Marcille stands in pretty much every topic.

On Marcille's end, she's down to clown more than people give her credit for. Laios said "yo let's play with these bones and rearrange them in funny ways" and Marcille joined right in. Like, yeah, she'll want to bonk his skull in sometimes, but aside from the monster and dungeon (well, she does have this one, just differently) fascination, she's pretty much in the same wavelength as Laios when it comes to most things.

Which is cool! Because they could've made them hostile siblings in law but they are besties actually.

It would have been cute if Adrien had kept that pottery wheel Marinette gave him in season 4. He seemed genuinely interested in it, and we could have had this delightful progression of ugly little armature pottery filling up the Agreste mansion from that point onward.

It could have started in Adrien’s room at first, with just a few little bowls and misshapen vases appearing on his coffee table and nightstand. But then by season five, they’re in the kitchen and living room. Eventually, they’re all over Gabriel’s studio because Nathalie knows that he hates the ugly little things, because they are mediocre products of a hobby that Gabe did not approve for his son, but he knows that if he says a word about it she will snap him like twig over one of her robot legs.

And then one day, Chat Noir gifts one of these little pots to Ladybug. Because she’s his best friend, but also because Adrien is seriously running out of space but is having too much fun with his pottery wheel to stop making them. And while Ladybug does give him a cursory speech about how they really shouldn’t be giving each other gifts, she accepts it, because it’s season 5, and she has a crush by this point. 

And depending on whether Adrien had gotten into glazing and firing his pottery by this point, maybe he even added a little yellow rose to the pot to symbolize friendship. And a little black cat, because you know. He’s him. (And the two would not be at all in proportion to one another.)

Then weeks later, when Adrien just happens to be hanging out at his girlfriend’s place, he happens to glance over at her sewing table and sees a familiar little pot holding a bunch of spare bobbins and fabric scraps. And then his head explodes.
