Been talking to friends and. Why is this website sleeping on the incredible potential of feligami happening via fake adrimi dating. Have you guys even considered the potentials.

I LOVE Y’ALL ALREADY

Further proof that Nino and Felix would get along: They both only needed one episode to get with their girlfriends in a stark contrast to the main couple AND refused to hide hero identities because their relationship is built on trust

I’m not entirely sure what went down without subtitles, but I’m warming to this dynamic.

Féligami has potential if she can call him out and beat him up while being clear she doesn’t hate him. He needs someone to make him feel it when he’s in the wrong.

Maybe Félix can even match Kagami in the ways she wants. He’ll need to like her for more than shared species, but that should come with time.

🪱...

Just a lil guy passing through

He's definitely not up to anything

Certainly not on his way to steal his dragon girlfriend for secret smooches

yeah he's sooo sneaky and unnoticable with his feather cap and cowl

(this was his mating dance. somehow it worked.)

simps the both of them

Ok so

First, Pretention

Marinette murdered Gabriel, you go girl.

Kagami is free from her senti ring. I refuse to accept Feligami as a romantic ship, mostly cause Felix calls every senti a “sibling” so it’s fucking weird. For now the hand holding for me is platonic.

Gabriel ended his relationship with Tomoe or...? I cant tell.

Gabriel is a bitch and is going to send Adrien to London. Adrien is noticing that his “obedience” to Gabriel is weird and is trying to fight it. But he hasnt tell Marinette yet about it.

Why am I the only one bothered by the way Kagami has been treated this season?

She gets gaslighted and manipulated by Lila, to the point she becomes suicidal and everyone says she's stupid, sucks, and doesn't deserve to have friends.

Then Felix stalks, kidnaps, and gaslights her into a relationship, and all anyone says is "Aw it's sweet. She can do so much for him."

Like, the fuck? What does she get out of this? Nothing is my answer.

Give the girl a break.

Also there's something I can't stop thinking about in regards to Emotion and Pretention.

"My father was a thousand times worse," he tells Kagami. In what ways? Tomoe has been so strict on her daughter that she doesn't even feel she needs the magical ring to control her. She's trying to teach her that any emotion is a weakness, and force her into a relationship with someone who doesn't love her back, even though it hurts her. That's...already pretty bad.

And looking back at what Félix says in Emotion doesn't paint a pretty picture of his past. His response to Marinette saying everyone's looking at her like she's a monster?

"Look closer. They're the monsters."

His motive behind wanting to make a wish? To create "a better world, a free world. Where no one will be under anyone's control anymore, where no one will be excluded like I was!"

It sounds like, in addition to being controlled with his amok, he was excluded by other people because of it. Remember, the specific people he wants to be not under anyone's control anymore are Adrien and Kagami, likely also sentimonsters. Thus, we could rephrase his world to get "No sentimonster will be controlled or excluded the way I was."

People call him a monster a lot in the two episodes, actually. Kagami calls him one for making everyone she loved vanish. It gets turned around on Gabriel and "them all" by Amelie at the end of Emotion, similarly to Félix's response to Marinette earlier. In Pretention, he's called a monster repeatedly by Tomoe for getting in the way of her controlling her daughter. And by this episode, he's decided to tell Kagami not to use the word "sentimonster" anymore.

The readiness that he tells Marinette "No, they're the monsters," seems like it's a premade response. Or rather, perhaps something he's thought in response countless times before.

It all seems to me to suggest that in contrast to Adrien, who's controlled by an amok and doesn't know it, having no idea why he's acting against his own will; and Kagami, who's never really been controlled with the amok but does have one, Félix may be an example of a sentimonster who was controlled with his amok and knew it.

Imagine being told by your father to do something you don't want to do, but you know you have no choice because he can force you magically. Knowing you're not a human, but a "monster." Does he really not have many friends because of the way he acts, like Chat Noir suggested in his debut episode, or was it that he was excluded for being a sentimonster? Was Gabriel's sentimonster replica the first person to threaten him with "What would your poor mother do if you disappeared?" or did his father ever hold that over his head?

And yeah, that...does sound pretty bad.
