You know what I want in season 2? I want dynamics between the team members that are completely different to their real life selves. I want a Queen B who can’t stand Chat Noir. She thinks he’s so annoying and how can a superhero be so immature? and This isn’t the time to make puns! and Ladybug, although she loves Chat and is his best friend, completely agrees and is so glad someone on the team gets it. Give me a Queen B who is so happy that Ladybug is giving her the time of day. Give me a Queen B that learns to love more easily through Ladybug and their hero work and learns patience and fondness with Chat Noir and his antics. Give me a Queen B who learns to build honest to god friendships with all her teammates while she also tries to do better in her real life. Give me a Chloe who learns from Ladybug what it’s like to have your idol genuinely care for you. Give me a Chloe who tries to pass it forward to Sabrina and tries to do just a little more good for others.

Give me a Carapace who tries to distance himself from Chat because Adrien is his best bud! No way Chat Noir can take his place (not matter how good his jokes are.) He makes sure to talk to his other teammates more (even though he seems to talk to Chat just a little bit more for some reason? They just seem to click) And somehow Carapace becomes the “cool” friend, the one that just gets along with everyone? Not that the others don’t, but Carapace is just so loyal and so kind, and he genuinely cares even though he hasn’t known them that long. Ladybug is convinced that Carapace could talk an armed robber into dropping the gun and getting a coffee if he were so inclined. He has a real way of getting people out of their shell! Chat once said, with a lot of eye rolling from everyone else. Of course Carapace keeps talking to Chat, and he can’t help but keep comparing him to Adrien and slowly seeing their similarities. With having to take on his new duties and the stress that comes with it, Nino finds solace in Adrien’s steadfast warmth and level-headedness, but alternatively relies on Chat’s wit and spontaneity when fighting akuma. But give me a Carapace who gradual finds that Chat is warmer than he originally thought, and more considerate than he initially lets on. Give me a strong consistent friendship between Adrien and Nino, and a hesitant one between Chat and Carapace.

Give me a Rena Rouge who is downright euphoric to be able to work with Ladybug and Chat Noir. Give me a Rena Rouge who is still curious about who Ladybug is. Give me a Rena Rouge who tries to distance herself from Ladybug since she doesn’t want her idol to know that she runs the ladyblog and has maybe, probably, absolutely tried to figure out her secret ID. Oops. But she can’t just drop the ladyblog all of a sudden! It was her life, people would question it. So Alya halfheartedly runs the ladyblog just for appearances, and has to record a quick video at the beginning of akuma fights before she transforms. Rena Rouge builds a reputation for running late, much to Ladybug’s annoyance. Chat Noir of course, always has a quip to say. There she is, our lazy fox! and Carapace is faster than you! and Sly? More like slow. But it just makes Rena push herself harder to save the day. And of course she can’t let Chat have the last word, so she quips back. Sorry, would have been a cheetah miraculous but cats are overrated and I prefer a dynamic solo entrance and I rather be sly and slow than unlucky and unamusing. They quickly bond over their quick witted banter, while the others keep tabs on who outwitted the other that day.

But most importantly, give me a Chat and Ladybug who know who the new recruits are in real life, but not vice versa. Give me a Ladybug who is conflicted about knowing who Queen B, Carapace, and Rena Rouge are but not let them know that she knows. Give me Chat and Ladybug working together to help their new teammates on and off the battlefield, as heroes and as classmates. Give me a Ladybug who is learning her new role and responsibilities as the team leader. Give me an unconditionally supportive and loving Chat. Give me a Chat and Ladybug who just enjoy each other’s company, enjoy being a team, and enjoy spending time together. Give me a Chat who wants desperately to know who Ladybug is, and a Ladybug who is warming up to the idea. Give me a Ladybug and Chat who at the end of the day are the protectors of Paris. But mostly, give me a Chat and Ladybug who are unquestionably best friends.
