You mean, during Representation? It is not Chat Blanc, but rather an inversed-colored Chat Noir.

Chat Blanc :

Chat Noir's Nightmare :

Case in point, when I apply a negative effect on that last image, this is the result :

So, this isn't an akumatized Chat Noir. Rather this is a Chat Noir who fears of losing control over himself and his power because of the amount of anger and frustration he has accumulated.

Why is he developing this fear now? Well, he did used Cataclysm on Monarch (even though it wasn't his intention to hurt him) during Destruction. He had some moments over S5 where he wanted to use Cataclysm directly on people (and coincidence, both of those people play with someone's feeling and emotionally hurt him or someone he deeply cared about, similarly to how his father does).

And last thing : with being sent to London by force by his father, Adrien is losing the so little control and happiness he had over his life. Adrien doesn't have his father's trust nor acceptance on what he wants. Adrien was furious about his father and his decisions and he knows very well that this isn't right nor fair. But even so, this impacts him.

So, it is the combination of those factors. Adrien is scared of losing control, of losing everything he cares about, and would blame himself if that ever happens. Being the holder of the Black Cat Miraculous, Adrien might be aware of the potential of Cataclysm. Plagg's raw power did provoke the end of the dinosaurs. Adrien might realize that he could potentially destroyed the world too. Especially now that he has unlocked unlimited access to Cataclysm without transforming back now.

Also, symbolically, Ladybug represents hope. She always has a solution to fix a problem. However, seeing a dead Ladybug turned to ashes in his arms means whatever hope of a solution Adrien had is dead.

That is his nightmare : no hope. Just destructive behavior and litteral destruction with Adrien believing that all of this is his fault.

anyone else feeling liek adrien getting a chat blanc nightmare out of the blue when he should have no reason to have one felt kindof odd and convenient when it technically never happened at all in this universe? I mean...I don't hate it...but does anyone else think maybe it might be a weird side affect from they time travelling back with sass in emphereal and how everything got weird?

There’s some common threads I see in the anti-voting posts going around, and I feel like I need to discuss some of them. Let’s start with the biggest one:

Voting to punish evil. I see lots of variations of this. Biden is supporting Israel, therefore we can’t vote for him. Is there any viable candidate who would stop the genocide? I don’t think the anti voting crowd actually cares. They are appealing to moral feelings rather than political strategy, because strategically, you have to realize that voting is not going to change foreign policy, and that change has to be pushed by other means. It’ll probably be something in the long haul.

Democrats should run someone else. First of all, this is a shit strategy. You don’t primary your president in the second term unless your party is falling apart. This may come from people from countries where replacing the head of government is easier, but the POTUS is the de facto party head. Also, going to the lack of thought to the goal — do you know someone willing to primary Biden and able to win who would do the things you want.

Biden hasn’t done anything anyway. This is just a way to bat away pro arguments. There’s plenty of lists of progress on lots of things. Student loans, insulin price caps, regulations, anti-trust.

Putting the entire Palestinian genocide on Biden. I’m not saying there’s not culpability there, but understand that the entire US government is in support of Israel, on both sides. It was a miracle we got a handful of Senators to call for investigations. We should cut off aid, absolutely. Who’s running to do that? And keep in mind that Israel chose to engage. US officials would have liked a more limited response, not out of care for Palestinians, but because they know from experience that it will come back to bite Israel in the form of newly radicalized Hamas recruits.

Liberals just have no hope for change. This is a new one. Just some idea that people are stuck in a rut and that’s the reason the two party system exists. The two party system is a mathematical consequence of the way we vote. There is reason to hope for change. The change, though, whatever means you choose, will take decades. Keep working at it. The hope is not that this election will fundamentally change things. The hope is that many small political actions over the years will push things forward.

Funnily enough, I haven’t seen a whole lot of third party promotion, just lots of this rhetoric aiming to punish. When voting, ask yourself:

Is this problem I have with this candidate something that the other candidate would be better on?

Are there other political actions I can take that will help?

What things can change with a different President or Congress, and what needs to be pursued by other means?

Withholding your vote as a punishment isn’t really going to help. Biden doesn’t know who you are or why you are not voting for him, and there is no one with a chance of winning that will do everything you want. But you have other means. Protest, organize, donate, build up alternatives, advocate for a different system.

Vote to give yourself space and get a little bit. Do other things to keep things moving.

Listen it wasn’t the most baffling thing in the world when Netflix canceled Lockwood and co even tho it performed well bc let’s be real, Netflix will basically cancel a show if it breathes wrong…

But do you think that Netflix actually canceled Lockwood and co bc around the time it aired they’d aquired the rights to dead boy detectives (a show with a competingly similar premise to Lockwood and co that has Neil Gaiman attached who’s had two very successful shows in the last few years with Netflix and Amazon prime)… because I do.

Like to me that’s the missing puzzle piece of what happened there
