why “people will say we’re in love” from the 2019 broadway revival of oklahoma is the ultimate love square song
so for this situation we gotta picture curly is chat noir/adrien and laurey is ladybug/marinette.
analysis under the “keep reading” tab to not clog the tag
we’ll start with the opening.
obviously, the entirety of paris are ladynoir stans (as they should be) and we see people constantly questioning the ever-so-elusive heroes on their relationship status. ladybug (laurey) begins to tell chat noir (curly) what he needs to stop doing in order to prevent people from thinking they’re a couple.
this is where we get into marichat and ladynoir. obviously chat noir has given ladybug flowers many many times, in many different colors and forms (i.e. throwing bouquets at her).
chat noir actually HAS been canonically proven to “please [marinette’s] folks too much,” even if he didn’t know that they were ladybug’s folks. (hence the marichat from weredad)
now i know chat noir is the comedian out of the two, but i think the “don’t laugh at my jokes too much” line is PERFECT for mari/lb to say, because it is immediately followed by this response.
which is just about the most chat noir flirty response ever.
here i can imagine chat noir gazing at ladybug (particularly the gaze after ‘i’ll never leave you, kitty’ from hack-san) AND marinette gazing at adrien in the pink bubble background scenes that i live for.
first of all, it’s obvious that these two bitches collect things from each other. honestly more of an adrienette trope than any other, but i still feel like it’s applicable seeing as chat noir does constantly give lb roses.
now we move onto curly’s verse.
first of all, curly flirts the way chat noir does almost down to a t and it makes me so giddy.
see?
but for real. marinette DOES take the trouble to bake adrien’s favorite flavor of macaron, and chat noir does love the stuff that comes from tom and sabine’s bakery.
in truth, ladybug FINALLY praises chat noir’s charm to his face, not counting the number of times she admits it when he’s not there. either way, she does praise his charm AND proceeds to look vain with him when he flirts.
ARE WE JOKING? THE RAIN???????
it’s almost like theres a major romantic theme in their storyline that centers on standing in the rain together...
okay, moving on.
i just think this is a cute lil thing. they have held hands a fair amount, even if it wasn’t an actual romantic intention (besides oblivio and the beginning of chat blanc, of course)
i’m not crying thinking about the new york special.... you are....
alright so anyways that’s my spiel i rest my case.
