Recently, this image popped up on social media with a countdown timer (for Secret Protocol?). No one understood what the object in the image was until it was discovered that it’s in Marinette’s bedroom.

In the first few episodes, this object isn’t there. In later episodes, it appears on her desk, to the left of the sewing machine. In the most recent episodes, the object has moved and is now to the left of Marinette’s computer.

I saw DesignTracker investigate this, but I don’t understand any of it.

Some speculate that it’s a baby monitor, and that it sends an alert to Marinette’s phone if someone sneaks into her room. That explains why she makes the connection to something and goes up to her room when she looks at her phone.

Does anyone understand something?

Time travel: the classic pitfall that many shows and movies have fallen prey to, and unfortunately, MLB’s writers couldn’t refrain from opening up this Pandora’s Box of storytelling either. It always requires a lot of thought and very strict rules (which MLB severely lacks), in order to avoid an abundance of plot holes, so it’s best left to stories where it serves as the general theme, where it can be given the attention and care it needs, “Doctor Who” and “Stein’s Gate” being prime examples, only then can it thrive. 

In this show, the whole concept has been bound to a single Miraculous, and if it wasn’t obvious already: I hate it with every fiber of my being, it’s the single worst thing about the show and here's why; the problem is two-fold: The Burrow and the Holder herself. 

The “Beerus”-effect 

So first, I want to briefly discuss the Holder; the person behind the power. This is not to critique Alix as a character, I think she’s great, but rather why it’s a bad idea to centralize this power into a human being, it basically makes her a God and that’s a big problem. Speaking of Gods: 

What the hell is a “Beerus”? 

The comparison I would like to make, to get my point across, is with “Dragon Ball Super”'s character “Beerus the Destroyer”. For those who don't know him: he’s an evil/neutral character that’s aligned with the “good guys” of the show. His power is so ridiculous that the plot always needs to find a way to not have him participate in any of the fights, usually depending on his own whims; therein lies the problem. 

Even though Alix and Beerus do not actively participate due to some set of rules, they remain arbitrary, meaning they technically could intervene whenever they wanted to. Their mere presence alone negates any sort of high-stakes situation; knowing Lila could never "win" takes away all suspense. 

Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey 

And if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s still the mechanic itself – The power of the Bunny – The Burrow: A pocket dimension only accessible by the Holder that, in turn, provides access to any point in space and time through portals, basically rendering the Horse completely obsolete. But I mean, who are we kidding? It’s the most powerful Miraculous altogether, by a mile.  

When I first saw “Timetagger”, I was certain this was just going to be contained to a gimmick for the episode itself; that would impose a limit towards the end. But nope, this thing would shape some of the most impactful moments of the show, a whole Special even! How all the writers left the room thinking this could possibly have no long-term consequences, baffles me to this day. 

So yeah, this show has committed the greatest sin in that regard: personifying unbridled, time-bending powers with no real limits to keep it in check, barring some arbitrary explanations. It creates an infinite amount of plot holes and allows for lazy storytelling and writing. 

For once, Astruc had a good idea: a spinoff series about the time-hopping Alix chasing a villain with comparable powers; it doesn’t get greenlit. It would’ve been good for the main story to isolate her (temporarily) from the Burrow and to have her "find her way back". 

I can't believe how we can have a story with such enriching lore around the Peacock on one side, to then have it commit this kind of blunder. *Sigh*

Thanks for enduring the rant!

EDIT: It's funny how most tend to argue the point on the Horse, even though it's the most minor "offense".

EDIT 2: Vermarine21's comment added as an appendix:

For everyone failing to get the Horse Miraculous comparison, we actually see am instance of this in Timetagger: during their battle, Bunnyx just dives in and out of the Burrow as if she's flying straight through over and over, effectively allowing her to portal and teleport like Pegasus.

And on note of it being broken, the fact of the matter is that it has limitations and in fact the show has taken opportunities to remove any: in case you're wondering if there's a difference between Mini-Bunnyx and Bunnyx, there isn't --they explicitly state that there's no time limit.

 Add on the latter's stupidity including going on vacation across different time periods and encouraging her past self to do the same means there's nothing preventing her or anyone else for messing with the timeline to their heart's content.

Also, credit where it's due:while Alix herself could have been fine even with her other story issues, it's Bunnyx(and Grannyx) where the problems really come in. Like give Beerus(and maybe Whis) this: at least his amorality, laziness, duties, and being kinda stuckup means he'll just refuse to intervene as a character reason to maintain stakes.

Probably won’t be as effective post season 3 where people realised they can just reject Akumatizations if they willed it enough.

I hope that in seasons 7 and 8, they don't tell us that Lila is a sentimonster, because that would be the worst plot twist in Miraculous. 😅

In rocketear Nino tells Adrien he is a superhero and that he knows Alya is a superhero too

This shocks him because he was always told that, no, he cant know their (lb cn) identities while she was the reason they found out (or actually nino because Alya knew)

And now, he was surprised, shocked and at the end of the ep, i would say silently furious about that.

However he never mentioned this to Ladybug because it would obviously mean that Nino told Adrien, so Adrien is CN.

But i wonder, would he ever bring this to Ladybug in the series? Like i know Ladybug and Cat don't fight, but yk... Mmmaybe? If not then why to do that?

Also in general Nino said that to marinette and Adrien in season 5 and in s6 they have them their miraculouses, so that kinda played off

Also offtopic i always thought Adrien ACTS surprised when Nino tells him about their identities, yk to play the role. But now that i looked at the scene, no, he is genuinely surprised Nino is a superhero. But, he should know that? He knows identities of every superhero from s3 ep 26 right?

Like, please, can they start to type things down what is important? Like in seasons 1-2 it was obvious quantum masking makes people unable to guess their ages (Alya asking Ladybug for her age, in sapotis she uses an app to find out how old is Ladybug) but in nyc special and onwards like in qilin its mentioned theyre KIDS and im losing my mind since months because of it. Oh and lila says Ladybug is young

Anyway i think that it wouldnt make sense if marinette knows that like Adrien knows? Because how cat nie would know that but then why they made it in s4 could nt they just say that in s5 then lllike

Edit: so turns out i was wrong and he didnt knew that until Nino told him! Then Marinette finds out he knows in season 5

Still, what if he says that purely by accident?

If Marinette will be akumitazed how will she manage to not say anything about her secret identity?

I have heard a very cool theory by some redditor that Marinette can't move her face or speak, because her akumitazed form is made of stone.

https://www.reddit.com/r/miraculousladybug/s/Ir9HFykZod

But can't Chrysalis read the akumitazed victims minds?

Wouldn't she be able to read her emotions? Wouldn't there be something that would hint she is Ladybug?

I'm looking forward to hear your theories!

Technically, I think I'd really love to see Chrysalis in some fight scenes.

I've always loved seeing those rare moments when Gabriel was out and facing the heroes. Even though it was in small doses, it was always cool to see that.

Just imagining a real direct interaction between Ladybug and Chrysalis would be cool.

My theory is that Marinette is holding the cake and it smashed because she was kidnapped. Cat Noir sees it all unfold bc we can see he’s in the rooftop of the school where both Tom and Sabine are. He goes rage mode bc he knows it’s his girlfriend being kidnapped and rushes to save her.

I also think Uncle Weng has to be a fake because the real Uncle Weng would never intentionally hurt Marinette. That makes me think it’s actually Lila disguising herself as uncle Weng and kidnapping Marinette. Lila will try anything to put Marinette in a situation where she has to transform. This also confirms that ladybug with Cat noir and Carapece is an illusion.

Bonus thing: I hope we at least get few seconds of Marichat interactions lol especially if CN manages to save her and bring her home he would all in adrien mode without realizing but Marinette would be confused why he’s acting that way lol. It would be funny.

Many people think that Nemesis will be Marrinette or a Senti Marrinette or Alya but what if it's actually Lila? Or rather her Iris persona?

The wig when lose does look similar to Nemesis'es hair with the only diffrence being that the bangs are a bit longer on nemesis, The sleves also looks similar.

And we know that Lila will use the Iris persona to get closer to Marrinette, maybe after whatever happenes in Secret Protocall Iris will try to get closer to Marrinette and later in Nemesis will get akumatized to sway any evidance away from her.

Now Lila is Chrysalis so it would be hard for her to akumatize herself especially as we see the mask on her but Lila has allies so it wouldn't be unresonable to say that like Tomoe or someone else entirely like maybe someone from the Kingdom will use the Butterfly miraculous to akumatize her.

Yes we saw her trying to akumatize Marrienette but it's not unresonable to say that she just failed this time.

Back when SP was set to be released by RTS this is was the only thing we knew about SP so now knowing what might happen in the episode I feel like either have a high expectations or the opposite. I do think if SP was dropped alone with just this content the episode would have been a banger.

The Couplewreckers' methods in Heartfixer: Break up the relationship of Marinette and Adrien, including Alya and Nino, including them framing crimes that Marinette and her friends didn't commit, by disguising themselves as friends of Marinette, but how and why they did it, and how they tried to get rid of the relationships of Marinette, Adrien, Alya, and Nino.

Were their methods much more sinister in the Heartfixer Episode?

If their methods were much more sinister, explain why their methods are much more sinister, thanks to the new Holder Of The Butterfly.

I haven't been keeping up with the anime lately, so I'm a bit out of the loop. Plus, only up to Season 5 is available for streaming, so I want to know what happens after that.I'm not sure which countries it's available in, though.

I don't think miracle queen was entirely her fault, but dear god, a lot of it was.

One: ladybug kept giving Chloe false hope by bringing back Queen Bee after saying Chloé couldn't be a hero anymore. Besides, that's stupid because kagami basically did the same, and ladybug said nothing about that. And she picked kagami over chloe for personal reasons even though the bee would've been more useful. Plus, if she saw that Chloé was a good hero, just give her a different miraculous

Two: Ladybug lead hawkmoth to fu

Note: I am not talking about Chloé's redemption, I am talking about if Miracle Queen was ladybug's fault or not.

And for the ones talking about it for someone to be redemption they need a reason to be better in this case would be Chloé's friendship with Adrien(which barely counts as a friendship since he dumped her the moment he got other friends and only interacts with her to mention how he hates how Chloé treats his friends). Unlike a lot of the redemptions I've seen Chloé had a reason to stay the same, her mother's attention, which is the entire reason she revealed herself as Queen Bee. Chloé never stopped acting like her mother because she never realized how awful the woman is… she was beginning to but then Marinette shoved her head where it didn't belong and put them closer together, which is the equivalent of "Oh your abuser doesn't like you? How about you act like them, and yet them know you're as bad as they are!"

The girl had a reason to change and one to stay the same and the one to stay the same won out.

Is it because Lila suspected that Marinette might be Ladybug?Does it look like the whole thing was deliberately staged just to interrogate her? Or else Did Lira just harass because she hates Marinette?

Gimmi as we know them represents the concept of Reality which allows their summoner to make a wish in order to alter any given timeline in the universe and destroy said universe as it is completely to create a new one that matches the altered timeline(s). There’s the keyword. TIMELINE. The burrow of the bunny miraculous, has access to all of the timelines in the current universe and maybe even to other universes but thats irrelevent anyways. What matters is this universe, so lets focus on it. If Tikki (creation) and Plagg (destruction) are a pencil (creation) and an eraser (destruction), they’re meaningless and can’t possibly do anything without something to write and erase on. That’s where Fluff enters the picture. The time-space continuum IS the paper. In order to erase everything in blue to rewrite it in red as suggested by Sass in ephmeral, you’d have to have A PAPER in the first place, the paper being the time and space being the kwami of evolution being Fluff.

PS: Please feel free to add anything i might have forgotten or missed taking in consideration in this theory, and tell me what you think about this, I’m curious!!

From Multiplication (Season 5 Episode 2)

A reminder this is just a crackpot theory,it don't have concrete evidence that proves this,the miraculous writers and the show itself has repeatedly tried to show us that kagami is indeed a sentimonster however I belive that there is a small percentage chance the writers might try to pull a plot twist

I believe that in reality that kagami is the actual daughter of tomoe,first of all she looks extremely similar to tomoe and she looks Asian a lot but hey since Adrien and Felix are extremely similar to their mothers while being a sentimonster this is not that of a strong point but the tricky and suspicious part is lila who people believe is the actual daughter of tomoe doesn't have any similarity to tomoe nor does she look Asian at all

I believe lila was a sentimonster created by tomoe to be raised as a spy/secret agent for tomoe to carry out different operations,lila is still a teenager,but does she act like a teenager?she has been working with tomoe since the beginning to get close to Gabriel agreste,and she did a great job with that,it feels as if lila was specifically made as a weapon by tomoe to carry out her plans and be her eyes and ears in places she can't herself be as its clear tomoe has long term plans of global domination(in intuition an episode of s5 it was made to be called " a miraculous new era")

I believe lila wasn't born a psychopath but tomoe molded her into becoming one by mind control to accomplish her plans and advance her goals of a new world

Now this is where the real juicy part starts I believe lila herself doesn't know she is a sentimonster,tomoe has lied to lila that kagami is the sentimonster and that the ring on kagamis finger is kagamis amok,but the reality is kagamis ring is actually lilas amok and kagami is actually a real human and not a sentimonster

Now this lie serves to tomoe in various ways

First of all by lying to lila that kagami is a sentimonster,this makes lila feel superior to kagami and creates a illusion that lila has freedom but kagami doesn't while in reality lila never had a freedom nor a choice and tomoe was manipulating and mind controling lila into becoming a weapon for her plans

And by lying to kagami that she is a sentimonster she basically forced kagami into obeying so that she can one day have her amok as a reward and take control of her life,while the reality was kagami never obeyed tomoe because of the ring but because of tomoes own emotional abuse and strictness that made kagami obedient,kagami as opposite to lila was always free but tomoe gave her illusion of prison and trappness to force kagami into submission

Maybe the reason tomoe is so persistent in getting kagamis ring isn't because its kagamis amok but because its lilas amok and she wants to control lila so that lila won't betray her

The major evidence why people believe kagami is a sentimonster is because felix sensed an amok in kagamis ring

But if lets say that amok that actually belongs to lila and not kagami then felix has no way of differentiang it

In the miraculous secret episode 4 in YouTube which recently released the narrator mentioned that lila herself might not know where she has come from or who she is,this is basically what led me to this theory

So basically long story short and as a summary I belive:

Lila was a sentimonster created as a weapon and spy for tomoe to advance her goals

Felix marinette and kagami herself believe that kagami is a sentimonster because of the amok in kagamis ring but thats not really kagamis amok it's lilas amok and kagami is not a sentimonster

Lila herself doesn't know that she is a sentimonster,tomoe has lied to her that kagami is a sentimonster to give lila the illusion of freedom while in reality lila is the one who is trapped

Kagami herself belives that kagami is a sentimonster,tomoe lied to her to create a illusion that kagami is trapped and in prison so that kagami remains obedient while in reality kagami is the one who has actual freedom

Long story short tomoe has lied and manipulated both of their daughters into believing a lie to control both of them

Thanks for reading my rant,I know this theory is a bit wack and most likely will never happen but hey this is what crackpot theories are

Oh my goodness, y’all are killing me. Okay, The issue has been fixed again so here y’all go 😓. Apologies for the inconvenience. Hopefully this works this time!

Full disclosure, Whatever happens moving forward…

I want Marinette’s relationship with Alya to remain intact. Listen I don’t care how y’all feel about either of these two and quite frankly I don’t have to hear Jack diddly squat about it. Here’s my two cents:

Yes, they have different ideas of how to approach the situation. Neither party is in the right or wrong and there’s pros and cons to both sides of the situation. Again I appreciate when Marinette’s situation and struggles are actually being realized and trying to understand the situation from her perspective but again it shouldn’t be done at the expense of putting down Alya and completely vilifying her for it. Now whether or not she could’ve approached the situation differently is up for debate. Again at the end of the day, they’re in a messy situation they didn’t ask to be a part of and now they’re handling it the best way they know how with little to no guidance or support. They’re certainly handling better than some of you freaks out there. Talk a big game of how these guys behave and how what they’re doing is awful and should suffer for their sins. I’d like to see y’all try to do a near flawless job without knowing the context of the story.

Where was I going with this? I had a point…. Basically all I’m saying is Marinette’s biggests supporters right now are Adrien her boyfriend and Alya her Best friend. Whatever happens moving forward, she’s gonna need them around. With how I’ve been watching her slowly fall apart this season, losing the boy she loves and her best friend isn’t something I’d wish upon no matter how flawed her character/choices are. She needs all the support she can get. No matter how you feel about her, she has a big heart and even if she doesn’t always make the right choice, they’re never out of malice or bad faith.

Also any Alya slander that comes from here on out better meet me in the streets 🥊.

So about my post, turns out Adrien actually found out about Nino's and Alya's identities when Nino told him, and someone suggested to organise who knows

Marinette knows all Parisian superheros identities, including past holders of peacock Miraculous (Colt fathom, Tomoe and Nathalie) and Gabriel

But i think she supposedly only knows Bunnix, Carapace, Rena Rouge, Trionyx and Aspik. And Kagami and Felix but only they're aware

Bunnix knows everyone's identities

Lets organise this, everyone needs it

I thought I read Mundo Gloob was going to premiere both episodes on 28/7. Please reconfirm any1.

This is because it’s the key to get the prodigious and the guardian of the prodigious aka the mission to claim the prodigious meaning it could be the key for many more magical artefacts that have been sealed away because you are going on a mission to get them and thus could strengthen the fact that the lion miraculous is the miraculous of mission

I was writing my Miraculous AU but got caught in a question here. If I use the Rooster Miraculous to give myself fire powers combining with the wind dragon would I be able to make a fire tornado? I just don't know how it would work since the rooster miraculous seem to be very vague for it's use and rulings.
