I didn’t lie when saying parallelism between Marinette and Young Gabriel was insane and the writers tried to put this infront us so hard
Me squinting between my 2 ML blogs and debating where to post this
Hi I’m being lazy today but I remembered that someone did a Chloe month last year for may and I checked back today and they did not come back this year sadge
Did not do mask cuz I forgot to add it in my sketch and then just did not care enough
Here are some thoughts on why I think Chloe's character arc makes perfect sense.
Chloe has a real bad hangup about power. She needs to feel it desperately.
she idolizes Ladybug, who is powerful
she wants a Miraculous to feel powerful
she orders her dad around to feel powerful
she mis-names her butler to feel powerful
she bosses Sabrina around to feel powerful
she is cruel to Marinette to feel powerful
she is dismissive of Chat Noir because he is subservient to Ladybug and therefore weak
When Adrien stands up to Chloe regarding her treatment of Marinette, she perceives this as him ordering her to reign in her power. To restrict her power.
In response, she re-asserts her power: she cuts him out of her life. Similarly, Ladybug denies her a Miraculous, so she turns on Ladybug, again lashing out at someone who has diminished her power. She then aligns herself with someone who promises it to her.
Then Zoe shows up, and Zoe gets attention and affection (and therfore power) from Andre, who isn't even her real father! She's spent more time with their mother, which is another form of power.
S3 through S5 is a systematic stripping away of the thing Chloe holds most dear: power. In response to this, she exerts power every opportunity she gets: she tries to take over the movie, she bosses Adrien around, she revels in her cruelty toward Marinette, she aligns herself with Lila (who Chloe recognizes has the power to fool everyone around them), she is cruel to her sister, and eventually she "leads" a fascist takeover of Paris (of course, not realizing that she's fourth banana in the takeover after Evil Gandalf, Slightly Less Evil Elon Musk, and Lila.
Her character arc makes perfect sense.
Uhh, umm, in this powerpoint presentation I will
Chloe and Zoe from season 6 in my vision.

One thing I'd like to note about Chloe here
"Replaced by Chloe Bourgeois" Hmmm I wonder who this parallels controlling parent and model it's almost like they're placing her narratively the exact same role as a certain someone how interesting.....I don't wanna get my hopes too high but this is something worth thinking about
i like them and nobody will stop me
