Oof, I hadn't even considered the part where Our Heroes have been actively destroying them since Mayura came onto the scene. I would say that she almost certainly doesn't put nearly as much effort or meaning as she could into most of her sentimonsters ("Ladybug" being one of the exceptions), but uh. Considering that Astruc has tweeted something to the effect that senti-beings are capable of aging and having kids... I mean, it's still "word of god" only so far, but. Er. Yeah.

I mean, something is clearly going on? With the rings and stuff? And I don't know if Miraculous Ladybug is a sophisticated enough show to pull off a red herring to that level. But I don't know if senti-Adrien is the way it should go, especially with people already suggesting that Gabriel's treatment of Adrien is no big deal if the theory is correct, because Adrien is a construct/not human and therefore it "doesn't count". Which I think we can both agree is bullshit to the Nth degree, and I would be very happy if I never had to see that take again, but I'm pretty sure I've only been lucky so far since my fandom interaction is pretty limited as is.


I've gotten as far as sorting relationships to "Alya Cesaire & Trixx" with my filters on AO3, and have found a few with promising summaries, but I may end up flat-out asking for prompts at this rate.
