seen on tumblr earlier today, but my brain did not present me this thing till now, and therefore fuck if I know where the thing got to: a comparison of a couple Marinette faces in Papa-Garou. she is annoyed at Chat, right up until he says it's the friendliest dinner he's had in a while.
therefore: Marinette drags Chat to family dinners. and Ladybug pushes him into going.
and possibly Marinette notices Adrien being sad on the same theme, and therefore Marinette conspires to get Adrien invited to not!parties involving various configurations of classmates. (not her own family dinners, unless Alya or Nino or somebody is also invited, because hell if she's going through the Adrien edition of Papa-Garou. the Chat Noir edition was enough fun.) and also Ladybug sneaks Adrien out of the house for—well, they don't start as dinner dates. neither do any meals Ladybug and Chat Noir happen to eat together at around that time of day.
does Gabriel notice Adrien isn't eating dinner at home anymore? only if Nathalie notices. does Nathalie notice? maybe, but if he consistently shows up for the first few minutes he's scheduled to be eating dinner at home, then probably she won't. does Gorilla notice? probably! but Adrien is a lot happier this way, so Gorilla has no objection to this plan!
the point at which the polycule waveform collapses is probably about when it occurs to Marinette to try to get Adrien and Chat Noir to a Dupain-Cheng family dinner at the same time.
