Low key is finding out that Tomoe is a terrorist the best thing that ever happened to Kagami?

Tomoe: You’re supposed to be making flower arrangements

Kagami: And you’re supposed to be in jail so

Dragon among men, Diamond among girls

Not going to lie, Tomoe with the peacock miraculous might be my favorite design this season hands down.

Lila using the term Mother for Tomoe wasn't literal, but was to poke at the wound left by Kagami. We know how good Lila is with words from the moment we met her. By calling Tomoe Mother and hanging on her, Lila is reminding her that Kagami, her real daughter, is pushing her away. Lila is reminding Tomoe of things she doesn't like to make her more willing to go along with Lila's plan.

Still reeling from the revelation that Tomoe can actually see through those glasses she wears. I guess that explains why she feels able to criticise Kagami's art!

Sentibeing Timeline Headcanon

Once Gabriel and Emilie discovered they couldn't have a child as they wanted, they went searching for a magical solution. They had heard legends of magical jewels that could grant wishes, and though the most of the Kingdom dismissed it as fairytales, they let the Agrestes go on their expeditions. Natalie was sent with them to assist and keep an eye on them.

To everyone's surprise, the Agrestes succeeded, bringing home the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses. Because of this success and now knowing the legends were true, the Kingdom decided to start looking for the other Miraculouses to bring about their perfect world, all the while working in their non-magical ways to ensure success.

Meanwhile, Gabriel and Emilie used the Peacock Miraculous to make their child, Adrien. Knowing the difficulty Emilie's sister was having conceiving, they decided to offer the Miraculous to Colt Fathom so he and Emilie could have a child as well, leading to Felix. Once fellow Kingdom member Tomoe Tsurugi heard about the creation of the unborn children, she asked Gabriel to let her use it for a child of her own. All of the parents were pleased with their new children.

Tomoe, though the last to use the damaged Miraculous, was the first to feel the effects. After all, the eyes are much less complex and important than the heart or brain. Her vision slowly deteriorated, and no doctors could explain why. Tomoe remembered the cracked appearance of the Miraculous she used and began to develop a theory. Her theory proved correct in the following years as Emilie and Colt began to get sick.

Panicking about his ailing wife, Gabriel began searching for a way to heal her. He began leaving his son and wife at home while he and Natalie went searching for answers. Eventually, they found the Grimoire, though they were unable to translate it. Any help would have been too late anyway - Colt and Emilie got sicker and Tomoe completely lost her sight.

It wasn't until Colt died and Emilie slipped into a coma that Gabriel thought to use the Butterfly Miraculous. The Kingdom had been searching for the other Miraculouses for years with no success, but maybe using one would help him find the others. The Kingdom supported this theory.

And we all know what happened next. 🐞🐈‍⬛️

One last one before we get new episodes (!!!).

So, this whole 'those two were made for each other' business becomes really interesting when we hear Gabriel and Tomoe say that Adrien and Kagami were 'made for each other, just like we planned' and 'perfection calls for perfection'.

In the most literal sense...it's Adrigami who were made for each other. Seen from that angle, Adrinette are actually breaking the programming...even if they are bending to some more mysterious influence.

Gabriel and Tomoe imagine that they can shape and control destiny - that they are the highest power. And whenever mortals develop that kind of delusion, the universe throws some wild cards into the mix.

Enter Felix. He definitely wasn't 'made' for Kagami, even if he looks like the boy who was...but he seems to be for her anyway. He's a mixed up ball of emotion - the perfect complement for a girl groomed to believe emotions are a weakness. She tempers him and he sets her free. There was no way she could have been with Adrien. They're too alike. Of course he needed someone like Marinette, his wild card who allows him to be just a normal boy.

Perfection doesn't exist - and no one is drawn to their exact likeness. Remember 'Kagami' means mirror, and if you stare in a mirror all the time, you start noticing all your flaws. Good relationships are founded just as much on our differences as our similarities. That's how we grow - we learn from each other.

We can't know why things happen as they do, or even be certain there is a reason (though I like to think there is). The adults can't truly control the paths of their children - and this even applies to Marinette's family, where Sabine might be the only one not carrying a clear vision of who she hopes Marinette will be. No parent controls their child's destiny. No parent is a god.

In trying to divide Adrinette, Gabriel claims it's all done so Adrigami can have their happily ever after. Gabriel clearly can't see that he's the wicked witch in this fairy tale. (Imagine him as your fairy godmother.) What the kids keep demonstrating is that it's up to us to find our own happy ending - and it just might take others by surprise.

When Felix and Marinette dance together, and he murmurs to her, 'All eyes are on you'...I really think he's relishing both of them being gatecrashers to this party. There's a strange kind of connection there, between the two who aren't wanted.

Marinette says, 'They're looking at me like I'm a monster.' He leans in and says, 'Look closer, Marinette - they're the monsters.'

It's that word again - 'monster'. I wrote about it before, taking a look at the word as used in 'Frankenstein'. Felix saying, 'Not all of us,' made me wonder if Amelie knows Gabriel is Monarch. She clearly knows Gabriel has changed (which I'll get to in another post). She has history with Nathalie. She might know everything about what they're up to...though, if she does, how culpable is she, not turning them in?

And, of course, in 'Transmission' Gabriel told Nathalie, 'I am not a monster,' while in 'Pretension' he and Tomoe keep referring to Felix as a monster, but not their own children...like he's an abomination for not fitting the 'perfect' image they have in mind.

The kids are called sentimonsters, but I think the term only refers to the fact that they were made by unnatural means (magic). However, language has power. Gabriel is a true monster, in the horrific sense, as made very clear by Felix's speech about parenting in 'Pretension'. The semantics being thrown around in the show are really interesting.

Early on in 'Emotion' Amelie tells Nathalie, 'I don't understand how Gabriel could have become so cruel or how you're still complicit in his actions.' Nathalie says, 'I have no choice,' and Amelie replies, 'There's always a choice, Nathalie.'

At the end of the episode, Amelie says bitterly, 'They're all monsters' - perhaps of Gabriel and his cronies. Argos says, 'Not all of us,' and reveals himself to be Felix, who I guess really was missing for a while.

I see this as Felix reassuring his mother that, having understood the error of his ways and choosing to restore the people of Paris, he's made his choice to be something better. This is then exemplified by his decision in 'Pretension' to break his weapon because he's done fighting - he now only cares about keeping Kagami safe.

It's a nature vs nurture thing. Felix may be a 'monster' by making...and by having that word applied to him for years, it's possible that he mistakenly believed that was all he was, so he lived up to the appellation. But now, he's overthrown the label and chosen to be better...whereas Gabriel is a monster by choice.
