Oh boy... Lies is a thing
So new episode is released, hooray! Also, finally it’s an actually Adrien-centric episode! (This is the lowest marinette got screentime wise with 3:40 minutes while Adrien gets 9:41! And that the first time this happened in this show!)
Now, I’m gonna say some things about the episode, but let me start with clarifying what I clarified in my Truth post:
I AM NOT UPSET AT MARINETTE FOR NOT TELLING LUKA ABOUT BEING LADYBUG!!! I AM UPSET AT HER FOR CLEARLY STILL STALKING AND CRUSHING ON ADRIEN WHEN SHE WAS DATING LUKA!!! AND THEN CRYING OVER HOW HARD HER LOVE LIFE IS!!!
(I made this in a separate paragraph and in all caps to get the point across because you know someone out there will be like “oh my god you hate marinette for no reason”)
This episode is literally a confirmation that she was drooling over Adrien, as this episode is basically Truth from Adrien’s perspective! And honestly? I respect the adrigami breakup worlds more then the lukanette break up
In Truth/Lies Marinette is actually confirmed to still obsess over Adrien and show her stalky tendencies did not fade, so that when the explanation for her and Luka breaking up was “oh she’s too secretive!” It felt half-assed, because Marinette wasn’t making any effort to move on or be there for Luka (which is actually why I’m upset at her! NOT THE FACT SHE DIDNT TELL HIM SHES LB)
(Like seriously if you call your boyfriend the name of your long time obsession you know you’re not taking this relationship seriously and using him. There was already something wrong in this relationship outside of the secrets which Luka also still respected)
On the other hand with Adrien and Kagami, we get more of what the show wanted to show happened between Marinette and Luka! Their relationship actually feels like a relationship doomed to fail not out of one obsessing over another person, but rather it truly feels like it fell apart because of the lies
Adrien actually legitimately acknowledges that his heart wasn’t truly in the relationship and that he shouldn’t expect Kagami to stay with him if he isn’t honest with her. HE ACTUALLY APOLOGIZED AND ACKNOWLEDGED HES NOT THE ONE BEING HURT HERE!!!
Marinette did not do that! She just cried on Luka’s shoulder while he told he it’s alright and that she’s ok and just not ready, before the show proceeded to shoehorn in how rough this is for her
And before everyone starts to bitch at Kagami for being a jerk and not reacting the same way Luka did, I would like to remind y’all that Kagami is not Luka! She isn’t a doormat my dudes (no offense Luka I know an Atlas complex when I see one sweetie please get help)
Kagami is headstrong, and she’s rightfully angry too! She doesn’t know why Adrien is constantly disappearing, and honestly feels hurt by it, because she feels like Adrien can’t be honest with her.
What was the line? “I lie to everyone to be with you, but you don’t lie to be with me”
Also not to forget the only lead Kagami for on his secret was the lucky charm Marinette gave him, so she would also feel understandably jealous and kinda betrayed even if it wasn’t the case
So yeah! Adrien and Kagami is honestly a breakup I can understand and respect more then Luka and Marinette! It was a respectable breakup where the viewer knows no one is truly in the wrong, and Adrien still respects Kagami and acknowledges he hurt her by not having his heart in the relationship (as much as he actually tried btw! Marinette didn’t try one bit to move on from Adrien and be with Luka!)
Also why the fuck did Chat not get to save the day? We didn’t need LB saving the day again and Chat being a sacrifice AGAIN! The fights are truly getting boring. (But that’s a topic for another post✨)
