Thinking again about the scene in Elation where Andre calls out Marinette for being in love with Adrien Agreste and Cat Noir being in love with Ladybug.
Tumblr media
Man, lowkey fuck Andre for exposing who they love in front of each other like that. Things like that are sacred. But, here’s the thing. Cat Noir knows he’s told Marinette about loving Ladybug (throwback to first Glaciator). However, Marinette has never told Cat Noir she loves Adrien - so, truthfully, she’s the only one who got exposed.
Tumblr media
Marinette doesn’t feel okay telling anyone about her feelings for Adrien (most people just figured it out based on how blushy and goofy she acts around Adrien). But, she especially didn’t want to tell Cat Noir since he might know Adrien and doesn’t even know who he is under the mask.
Even worse, now she realizes she loves Cat Noir too and obviously wouldn’t want him knowing she’s had feelings for someone else. Luckily, Cat Noir is too oblivious and believed her when she told him she doesn’t have feelings for Adrien anymore (but also sad because he loves Marinette). Hey they kissed though - multiple times!! It wasn’t under great circumstances, but it happened and they won’t forget it happened!!
Tumblr media
Similar to Adrien, Marinette can also be a bit oblivious and believed Cat Noir too when he said he dropped his feelings for Ladybug. Also not true, silly kitty.
So that really reverses the love square when it shouldn’t have. Andre - through the supposed magical ice cream power or not - was right about Marinette loving Adrien and Cat Noir loving Ladybug. They want to deny the feelings for “both people” and unknowingly did to each other’s faces (Marinette turning down Adrien, Cat Noir turning down Ladybug).
Ugh for fucks sake, can they just admit to loving “two people” and have the reveal already? 😭

Reverse Love Square should not be a step back to square one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve probably said it before but I’ll say it again:
The reverse love square shouldn’t be Marinette losing her feelings for Adrien, and Cat Noir losing his feelings for Ladybug.
Why? Well, there’s plenty of reasons why.
1) Marinette has pined over Adrien for a long, long time
Marinette has loved Adrien since season 1. One of the main focuses of the show is her feelings for him. She does a ridiculous amount of crazy things and tries to think of convoluted plans to confess to him. We’ve watched her for about 6 or 7 years pining after Adrien. That’s a long time.
I know it’s not a super long time in the show’s universe. The time frame is about 4-5 months (I think) according to Thomas Astruc. However, for the people who watch the show, it would make no sense to stop seeing her pine after Adrien after all these years.
But, also consider this. After the amount of things she’s done trying to get this boy to date her, it’d make zero sense for her feelings to just disappear. I feel like the only way that’d make sense is if Adrien did something really bad to hurt Marinette or turned into some sort of criminal/villain. But we know that won’t happen. And Thomas would damn well be hunted down by the fandom if he did go in that direction.
2) Cat Noir has pined over Ladybug for a long, long time
This is the same concept as my first reason. Ever since the first day these two met, Cat Noir fell for her.
The show title is The Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Of course a major plot line is going to be romance between them, and naturally, it’s going to be dramatic.
If there’s no mutual love between these two right now, no plot of a mutual love developing, the show would be completely different. It’d focus on just them being heroic partners and friends, and trying to defeat Hawk Moth. (More of a kid’s show that probably wouldn’t have as strong of an adult audience due to no romantic drama.)
But, this obviously isn’t the direction the show took. They made it very clear in their trailers and in the very first episode that there’s going to be romance between the protagonist and deuteragonist.
Cat Noir has flirted with her since day one. It wouldn’t make sense for him to drop both his feelings and this act entirely. Him loving and trying to woo Ladybug is on brand for him, and it has been throughout the whole show.
Ladybug has let him down - ignoring him, pushing him away, and leaving him in the dark. But, again, it wouldn’t make sense for Cat Noir to drop his feelings for her - he only has her. In his civilian life, Adrien doesn’t have his father’s support and starts losing support from his friends, Kagami and Nino. Him and Ladybug have to work together, meaning they need to sort their issues out no matter what. They were picked for a reason, that reason being that they’re an unstoppable force, even more so once they end up together (romantically).
3) There’s the signs of them loving each other’s other identities alongside of the feelings they’ve already declared
That’s a bit of a long title, I know lol. But, it’s been years of seeing them develop feelings for their other identities.
Marinette has made it obvious to just about everyone that she’s in love with Adrien, and keeps saying that’s the reason she doesn’t want to be with Cat Noir.
Cat Noir has made it obvious to everyone that he loves Ladybug and keeps saying Marinette is “just a friend”.
But this is a showing vs telling sort of thing. Despite Marinette saying she only loves Adrien and Cat Noir saying he only loves Ladybug, they’ve shown many signs throughout the entire series that they love their other identities at the same time.
It’s all denial. They don’t want to believe they have feelings for “someone else.” But they do and won’t admit it. It’s confusing for them trying to juggle all these romantic feelings that keep developing.
And as a bonus, even though it’s not canon in the show itself, there’s that short clip on YouTube of Marinette writing in her diary about Cat Noir. The big part being her mentioning things might be different if “Adrien wasn’t in the picture.”
In relation to the reverse love square, it makes perfect sense for Marinette to finally admit she loves Cat Noir and Adrien to admit he loves Marinette. Meanwhile, they’re going crazy thinking “how can I love two boys/girls at the same time?!”
Just because they’re finally coming to terms that they like each other’s other identities does not mean their feelings they’ve declared for the others are going to disappear into thin air. Realistically, that isn’t how romantic feelings work, and the writing in the show wouldn’t make sense if that happened. Speaking from personal experience, there have been times I’ve crushed on more than one person. When I develop feelings for someone else, sure the feelings for the other person simmer down, but they don’t die off right away.
4) They’re supposed to love both sides of each other
Isn’t this what the whole show is telling us?
The whole idea of the romantic plot is that these two have different sides of their personalities and that they need to fall in love with every side of each other.
When I first saw a trailer for this show back in 2016-2017, it showed Cat Noir flirting with Ladybug and Marinette being blushy around Adrien, but not them dating, not them being in love in both civilian and heroic identities. They made that very clear.
At first I was like, “wait, she’s fine around him as Cat Noir but not as Adrien?” and then I had the realization “ohhh, she doesn’t know he’s Cat Noir.” So, I - as I’m very positive other people as well - went into the show knowing she hasn’t fallen for him as Cat Noir just yet, and vice versa with him not having feelings for Marinette just yet, because they don’t know their other identities.
Marinette and Ladybug are initially two very different people in the eyes of Adrien. Adrien and Cat Noir are initially two very different people in the eyes of Marinette. And in case this wasn’t obvious to you from the get go, in Ephemeral, Marinette is in utter disbelief that Cat Noir and Adrien are the same person, and can’t immediately come to terms with that after figuring out he’s Cat Noir.
In order for them to have the purest and realest love of all, they need to fall in love with both identities. Then, when the reveal happens, there’s no surprise, no saying “wow I don’t love this side of you.”
Conclusion
No romantic feelings for each other can’t be dropped. It wouldn’t make sense after all this time and build up, it’d destroy the entire point of the romantic plot between Ladybug and Cat Noir.
“The power of love always so strong.”
Yes. Yes it is. That’s why no part of the love square should ever die out.
