ooommmgg who else is sooOooooOOooo excited for the adrinino endgame 🥰🥳🎉 (nino can't keep a secret to save his life and also is not privy to the horrors. what a GUY)
adrien and nino grow up and get married and have kids and their house is always messy and noisy and busy. they never say no to having friends over. their living room is always full of kids laughing and they always have enough food to feed anyone who’s hungry. dinner most nights involves pulling up chairs and cramming around the table to eat the dinner nino has happily tripled from what he originally planned to make. adrien is always happy to drive other kids home if they need it. sleepovers are always a yes, extra blankets and pillows are in the hall closet, and there’s snacks in the pantry if you get hungry, you can help yourself. summers mean warm nights in sleeping bags under stars in the backyard and of course the neighbors can join in. they can never quite keep up on chores but that’s okay - they’ve never minded a little bit of clutter to remind them their house is lived in and loved.
I have a theory as to why we hardly ever see Luka and Adrien interact, which coincidentally is also why Adrien and Nino’s friendship got nerfed.
It’s because for the first like. 4 seasons? Marinette is convinced Adrien has an amazing perfect life. Sure, she knows his dad is strict, but she doesn’t once think about trying to help him break out from the abuse the way Nino did in the Bubbler until it directly involved her when she started dating Adrien in season 5.
That’s why the writers made sure to write a storyline that solidified Adrien never telling Nino that he’s Chat Noir.
And that’s another reason Luka got shipped off to Brazil timeline-wise a WEEK after he discovered Adrien was Chat Noir and his home life was more fucked up than he originally imagined (Remember, Luka learned Adrien’s childhood dream is to be exactly what his parents wanted which is super depressing.)
Adrien’s friendship with these boys would be too powerful and the writers are acutely aware of this. So they wrote storylines to isolate Adrien even further so that only Marinette can “save” him in season 5.
It was really really fun getting to do this little collab with you, @alazic02, and @mari-cherri! Y'all are such a riot and I love you guys so much. And Kelly, we hope your birthday treats you well and that you have a fantastic day :) <3

"I physically injure my blorbos" "I give them more trauma" "i kill their parents" all basic. Wanna talk about REAL torture? I make them gay and in love with their best friend.
Hey. Hey. Hey. AU in which Felix gets insanely jealous of that classmate who keeps lurking around Adrien and calls himself his “best friend” or, worse, his “bro”. What’s his deal? Sure, Felix has been cold and distant and randomly puts cheese under his cousin’s pillow, but they still grew up together. That has to count for something, right? Who does that guy think he is???
Turns out Nino has the biggest strongest dorkiest crush on Adrien, and has been heavily leaning into the brotherly act as a cover-up. That’s just his buddy! His pal!! Nothing to see here!!!
So of course, as soon as Felix finds out, he decides he needs to set them up. Very reluctantly. Only when they smooch will he stop feeling threatened. Shenanigans and ✨ friendship ✨ ensue.
yeah, the pride merch is great and all, but i can see that the designers had trouble fitting both Chat Noir and Carapace into the green! luckily, I have a solution—
