The cool couple is talking telepathically again.

When a drama is in its promotion stage, one of the things I always look forward to is for the cast will be featured in a magazine to promote

Something I was kinda thinking about recently

If SL!Nino and Alya swapped kwamis for a day (Alya with the fox and Nino with the turtle), would their costumes be exactly like canon or would they be different (like how SL!Laybug's outfit is different than in canon)?

Hmm, they'd be close to canon I think. Nino's SL Carapace would probably look a lot like his Season 6 suit (honestly canon's Carapace kicks my ass, why is it so good???), while Alya's SL Rena Rouge...

Actually with her storyline about getting more into investigation, she'd probably look more like my Power Upgrade Look:

Seeing as we're on the topic of callbacks: in Episode 33 Part 14, we get a peek at Alya's project of tracking down Hawk Moth. But since he's already been unmasked, what happens to that?

Turned over to the Police as evidence.

Why Alya is again thinking Marinnete like Adrien?

(i mean is not like she doesnt kind of, but Marinette didn't tell Alya but she did explicitly say she likes Chat)

Alya started everything as a staunch AdrienxMarinette shipper, even when Marinette was saying she had no feelings for Adrien as far back as "Stormy Weather". It's only being told directly in "Dark Cupid" that Marinette likes Chat Noir that she drops it, but thats 2.5 seasons of her holding onto Adrienette.

Now she's catching Marinette making eyes at Adrien, and being caught out in public as his "girlfriend". SHE doesn't know that Marinette is looking at Adrien because she's putting together that he's Chat Noir, Alya just sees Marinette switching to Adrien, who Alya originally shipped her with.

Her OTP is setting sail as far as she's concerned. Once a shipper, always a shipper.

Could you explain how Alya's investigation from the last panel works?

Alya has two separate projects going on in the last page, 1. An exposé on Scarlet Lady and 2. Tracking down Hawkmoth, as she told Wayzz.

Here, she's reviewing old videos to look for patterns from Scarlet Lady. This one will take a long time, as she also has to keep in mind the ramifications of tarnishing the reputation of the person defending all of Paris. For now, she's gathering evidence.

Here, she is mapping out akumas - where a person was akumatized, what time they were akumatized, and importantly, what time they got upset. It's super tiny and hard to see, so I wasn't expecting anyone to pick up on it anyway, but the notes have a "address" and then a number - ex: Lady Wifi's sticky note says Across School, 2 min. This is her way of archiving that she was akumatized on the street across from her school and it only took 2 minutes between her being suspended (and therefore, "upset") and then being akumatized.

She doesn't know the speed at which akumas fly, but hopefully by logging how long it takes someone to be akumatized after an inciting incident, she can create some sort of Akuma Radius to narrow down where the akumas are coming from.

If Alya is tracking Akumas and what time things happen, would the collector throw her off if she gets close enough to figure it out?

Some akumas she won't be able to account for because knowing the time difference between When Someone Was Upset and When Someone Was Akumatized requires talking to the person. Gabriel woudn't entertain Alya, or anyone, with discussing a time when he was "emotional".

This also means these are just estimates and not exact. Alya's asking someone to think back and guestimate how long it took, so we're talking old memories of guessing minutes based off an event where emotions might be clouding the memory itself.

It's not a fool proof method, but now that Alya knows this is what she needs to know she can have this question ready for future akumas. This has the benefit of letting the "victim" share what triggered the akumatization, which can benefit the viewers - if the victim was bullied, it may encourage others to be kinder. If the victim reached a breaking point, telling their story might encourage others to look at their own friends and reach out to support them before they reach the same point. If the victim faced an injustice, others may be called to action so the same injustice can't be repeated.

By having her initial goal, Alya focusing on finding Hawkmoth will have a domino effect that changes the focus of her blog from celebrating Scarlet Lady to helping Paris be better for everyone.

Though there's still room to celebrate the other heroes.
