Just imagine Gabriel lying in bed, peacefully sleeping like the little piece of shit that he is, when he suddenly senses two sad little girls and stumbles out of bed, shouting “Nooroo! Transform me right now!”
So here’s something silly I thought up because I love when animal legends, animal symbolism, and fables.
Going off of the assumption that the boy is Master Fu and the man is a notable person we have yet to learn about (good or bad), we don’t know if the object in that flashback was a Miraculous or something else. Whether Fu used it or not, I think it would be interesting if it was the Rabbit Miraculous because of what it could represent for Master Fu in relation to “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
Like the hare of the fable, Fu was overconfident and prideful, and because of this, he made a reckless and detrimental mistake involving the Rabbit Miraculous that ended the Order of the Guardians, destroyed their temple, and resulted in the loss of the spellbook and two Miraculouses.
Years later, Fu is wiser, having more patience and knowledge of the world. He hasn’t lost his determination, but he is much more thoughtful about his plans and actions, strategically dealing with the situation with Hawk Moth by giving Miraculouses to Ladybug and Cat Noir, working to find superpower advantages in the spellbook despite his limited teachings about the code, and even eventually choosing (or helping Marinette choose, depending on what actually happens) new part-time superheroes. He is a lot more like the tortoise of the fable now, which lines up with him owning the Turtle Miraculous in his later years.
I don’t know how many clever animal connections and references will be within the show. So far, the main obvious connection are ladybugs and black cats, representing good luck and bad luck respectively, and the twelve Miraculouses based on the Chinese zodiac animals, the dragon included. I wouldn’t mind – really, I’d be all for it – if more symbolism and legend/fable/etc. references were used when looking into the relations that can happen coincidentally or intentionally between two or more Miraculouses. I do think that Master Fu making a mistake with the Rabbit Miraculous involved and evolving into the wise man who used the Turtle Miraculous would make an interesting resemblance to the story and themes of “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
Even though she’s tired from watching over Mr. Damocles to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself, she doesn’t want to scare him off from being a superhero because she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings and understands that his dream is important to him, and she worked so hard to make sure that he gets to live it!!!
