Marinette: Bad news—Chloe locked herself outside of her own hotel suite.
Marinette: Good news—we didn’t have to wait around for a locksmith.
Marinette: Bad news—Adrienne finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory(TM). I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned it was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute guys/girls/enbies.
Marinette: Good news—a cute guy/girl/enby saw me do it.
Marinette: Bad news—it was Kagami, and since she's already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a fawn that was just too damn small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she’ll never think I’m cool no matter what I do. It’s too late. She knows.

Marinette: They... well, I wouldn't call it inheritance per se. What do you call it when you kill someone and get their stuff?
I don't really see it working in canon, but outside of canon I really love the potential of it.
I mean, we're talking about childhood friends who've known each other since they were toddlers, were each other's only friends for a really long time (Chloe did eventually meet Sabrina, but especially for Adrien, Chloe was the only friend he had for a long time) and can relate to each other in ways most other kids can't (being rich kids who were emotionally neglected/abused).
I didn't initially ship it and I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but like with most things in this show, it's so much more enjoyable when you detatch it from canon and just have fun with it.
Even shipping aside, their relationship deserved so much better than what canon did with them.
