Chrysalis is so evil I love it.

Instead of Hawkmoth where he targeted anger, hate and feelings of passion.

Chrysalis targets self hate, guilt, grief. It's evil. And it's genius.

She has her options open as to how to get ladybug. She doesn't always ask for the miraculous from the people she akumatizes.

She targets Marinette, tries to work out Ladybugs identity, she uses the akumatization as simply one more part in her plan. Just one of the many ways she has open to guarantee her win.

The way she talks to them. The way she is there as a friend. Not a master, but an equal. Someone who understands.

She doesn't name them. They name themselves.

It's not "I'll give you the power to get revenge"

It's, "I will give you the power to save others from the pain you feel"

In a way she targets selflessness.

No wonder Marinette fell for it. No wonder she agreed.

The therapist too. And almost everyone who's been akumatized because it doesn't feel like an akumatization. It feels like a rescue. It feels like a friend. She makes sure of it.

I just love having a smart villian. And I'm sure there's more to the writing in her journals than just the identities. There's so much more to all of this and I genuinely think I can watch this slowly unfold over more seasons

I find it really interesting we can't see Gabriel's face in the poster. Might just be my overanalyzing brain at work here but it feels like it's supposed to be symbolic for something. Eyes are the windows to the soul after all.

Meanwhile Chrysalis' eyes are glowing an even more intense blue.

Then there's the fact that they're in the direction away from the hero they have the deepest connection to. Adrien facing Gabriel and Marinette facing Lila.

So essentially Gabriel is still going to haunt the narrative for a little while longer it looks like. Doesn't exactly mean that Adrien won't learn the truth at the end of Season 6, but I think the fact we can't see Gabriel's eyes and Chat's expression are confirming that poor Adrien is going to go through it even harder with the reveal of his father being a super villain. Adrien feels even less sure about who exactly his father was as a person. So.... yeah the lie is going to definitely backfire.

As for Chrysalis, seems she's going full in on her villain persona and really showing she's emanating the same sort of vibe Monarch was. Honestly you could argue that Gabriel's Monarch era was perhaps the time he was all around his cruelest, which might mean Lila may become even crueler in her own actions to get back at Mari. (Or possibly Kagami if the theory about Lila being Tsurigi's daughter is true)

Ladybug's expression is something interesting too. She isn't shocked or angry, she's serious but... it's kind of a blank expression? Kind of in awe in a way? I don't know how to describe it... But you would think it would be determined or more considering all that's going on and the mental turmoil she's gone through Season 6. Maybe it's confirming that she might go through the mind wipe giving up her Guardianship?

OOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR, this could just be a wicked cool poster they dropped and I might be overanylysing but hey I love when shows or movies do the show don't tell sort of thing for the audience to see it!

@jesuis-melodrama you are hereby convicted of High Sin of dragging me (and many others) into a rareship against our will (with how good your works and character portrayals are) and leaving us without any sustenance (I've read all good Liladrien works). As such, the appropriate penance chosen for you, is to write more fanfics.

I am not as cruel as you, so a prompt will be provided.

Jokes aside, your works are lovely and me want more. The idea I had is what if after Adrien threatened Lila for suspending Marinette, she saw his hidden edge and it got her highly curious. She of course gets Marinette back, even if she despises the self-centred baker girl, but instead of evading Adrien, she starts to spend more time with him, trying to see that hidden, sharp edge again.

The thing is, she doesn't chase a mirage, Adrien actively leaves her crumbs here and there, because that sharp, amused look that said "Let's see how far you'd get" was definitely aimed at her. To say that she is curious, is to say nothing. Lila is thrilled!!! She's a danger junkie and this is prime cut venison for her.

Adrien behaves as normal to everyone around him, but Lila is not some nobody, she knows where to look and what she sees is one of a kind beast.

Correction, two of a kind. Because Liar recognises Liar and Adrien is as good as her, if not better.

Just like he shown a new side, Lila decided to repay the gesture and bare a piece of Cerise. Suddenly the lies stop, so does the attention seeking, even the wig is off.

Lies are for fools, she will win Adrien over with truth, because that way he won't be able to weasel away. Now her aim and attention are directed entirely on Adrien Emilien Agreste, and he knows it. He allows it. She knows that there's no one like them, but she also knows Adrien.

So if he wants to pretend to be normal and date pastry disasteress? She'll let him, after all she knows she's the endgame, and that soon he will understand it too, wannabe designer is not a threat to her, never was, and never will be.

Adrien and Marinette are leaving class, hand in hand, blushing and talking tooth-achingly sweet, yet Cerise still looks at Adrien with a lovesick smile as if he hanged the moon, the sun and the stars just for her.

"Hoe, you okay?" Even Chloe is worried at the vixen's behaviour but she's dismissed, so she leaves her be. "Ridiculous."

Few weeks pass before a sudden fencing tournament happens at Francoise Dupont and bastards from Carnot Academy come. The feud between schools is long and bloody, as it is pointless. Yet it gotten to a point where the fights are on sight with almsot everyone in the class, sans Adrien, Marinette, Chloe and Cerise having been in a fight or two with them.

(Now that she thinks about it, Adrien absolutely could have beaten them, except he kept it hidden somehow and the idea of Adrien covered in someone else's blood starts some outright sinful thoughts in her.)

Of course when they come, boys are getting way too handsy with Dupont girls, harassing and groping them without a worry, teachers, as usual are turning the blind eye because everyone is Golden Youth. Not the students though, but even when confronted, the teachers suddenly pipe in and make sure Carrots are unharmed.

Lila is pissed at what's going on at HER turf. Those are HER schoolmates to torment, and also she was looking for an excuse to let out some rage over the whole Timestalker fiasco. Before she can do something with a switchblade she always carries, she spots Adrien and he's pissed.

He looks pissed.

Adrien is as good an avtor as it gets, so no one ever saw him so enraged, and that's saying something. He leaves and something is about to happen!

When she silently peeks through the door she sees him fiddle with something. Curiosity took the best of her, so she slithered in, tiptoeing towards the blonde. Suddenly he stood up, catching her sneaking in the boy's changing room. With each step he took forward, she had to take one backwards until she ended up being squeezed between him and the wall.

"And what do we have here?" He said with toothy grin.

"He-he-he, can't blame girl for being curious, right?"

Suddenly all mirth left him and he turned serious.

"Be quiet and observe. You wanted something interesting, you'll get something interesting."

The arm that left her no escape and made her heart beat faster left with the boy, and Lila couldn't help but start giggling like a fox she once was, still is to some part.

"a-are you okay, m-master?"

"Okay? Okay??I'm thrilled, Nooroo!! Ladybug be damned, this is so much more interesting! I can't wait to see what he will do! Hi-hi-hi-hi!!"

Few guys got punched when the adults weren't looking, so perverse behaviour somewhat mellowed out, but Dupontians were out for blood.

"Mec, I know you are an athlete and rich, but I will give you a hundred euros if you tackle sons of bitches."

"Jeez, calm down Nino. Don't worry, we'll crush them so bad they'll never show up."

"That's my bro! But the offer still stands."

"I'll keep it in mind."

And just as he put on the protective mask, she saw it again. The smirk, the one she knows too well, the promise of suffering is what it meant. Everyone was cheering for their school's team, so was Lila, if only for Adrien. Marinette looked as if he was about to jump from a skyscraper. The naive, foolish Marinette.

En Garde command was given, and the athletes were exchanging blow for blow. Everyone held their breath as light bounced from the foils creating an illusion of sparks. Unlike usual, Adeien wasn't feinting, just parry, attack, block, attack. Cerise spared a glance at Kagami, Adrien's equal in fencing and confirmed her suspicions, he was toying with his opponent.

Then suddenly, Adrien threw a feint and poor bastard fell for it, moving his foil up for defence. Lila felt it, Kagami felt it, and Adrien too. The perfect moment to strike.

Everything happened so quickly, but Tsurugi sisters jumped up because they saw it. As if afraid and trying to defend himself Adrien slapped the tip against his enemy's foil. The tip blicked as it fell off, and Agreste thrusted the newly sharpened edge right into opponents shoulder, passing all the protective gear.

The scream of pain was so loud almost everyone flinched. The medics and officials run in as Adrien tried to help. He took of the mask showing his shocked and afraid face. The referee was and D'argencourt were trying to calm down the shaking model, even her lovely sister jumped over the fence and ran to her friend.

If Lila didn't know Adrien, she would believe it was an accident. She would be sure it was an accident!! Adrien truly was a prodigy.

"...and to think he called ME a liar." She said to nobody in particular. And when his gaze found her in the stages?

She silently applauded.

Okay the new episode was very beautiful and cute and sad and all but i can’t help but wonder why lila would akumatize Nino’s parents?? Like none of what they were doing was working towards them getting chat noir and ladybug’s miraculouses and it only served to help them let go and divorce which i can only guess Lila does not give a shit abt

Genuinely what was the plan Chrysalis

[wonderfull-star]

Marinette will be akumatized?! WHAT

I don't believe it. It's another trick!

Or maybe not???
