Summary:

Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube argue over the Parisian superheroes’ relationship and identities. Things heat up even more when interviews from the Ladyblogger, Chat Noir, Adrien Agreste, and Ladybug release!

Notes:

I’ve watched two episodes, New York, Shanghai, and every Instagram reel that comes up. So I literally have no cohesive idea of this universe. Also typos are mostly intentional for internet speak! Thank u!

Also the work-skin I'm using only changes certain text colors, so if you hide it, the fic will not change at all. But, it helps for immersion!

People are literally so dumb it’s funny. You think the superheroes of paris are also super busy celebrities? You think Chat noir is also walker scobell? Or Adrien agreste? Dude they’re literally working all the time

😽 ladylady Follow

Plus their identities would’ve been revealed at a pr event or smtg ffs

🐾 chats-left-claw Follow

Adrien Agreste has never been seen at the same time as Chat Noir.

🥰 peace-and-love Follow

Yeah, I’ve probably never been seen at the same time as Ladybug, but that doesn’t mean I’m ladybug

🗼 paris-citizen Follow

The fan casting is out of control. @peace-and-love is right, they’re not celebrities. They’re just going to be some guy at the grocery store. Or at your local bakery. They’re real people just like you or me

😽 ladylady Follow

That’s why I’ve always said the LadyBlog list of most likely to be the superheroes is wrong bc it’s all celebrities

E! News On the Red Carpet for the new French superhero documentary, Behind the Masks! Supermodel Adrien Agreste weighs in!

[Instagram Reel Transcript:

Interviewer: So, by now you must’ve seen that there are petitions to put you on the Ladyblog’s most likely-to-be list. How do you feel about that?

Adrien Agreste: Most likely to be Ladybug or Chat Noir?

Interviewer: It’s hard to say.

Adrien Agreste: [Laughter] Well, it’s definitely flattering. I would love to have superpowers, but my modeling gig along with school kind of takes up all my time.

Interviewer: But, if the modeling stuff doesn’t work out?

[Laughter]

Interviewer: Would you send in an application?

Adrien Agreste: [Laughter] Sure. Chat Noir, if you’re watching and you ever need a stunt double, I got you.

Interviewer: You in his costume would make half of Paris faint, I think.

Adrien Agreste: Oh, well, then I think it’s probably for the best that I’m not. I wouldn’t want to cause harm as a superhero! That’s kind of against the whole principle.

E! News logo flashes on screen

Inside the Bizarre World of Superhero Identifiers
Drew Gooden • 1.2M views • 1 year ago

[Transcript: So, the other day, I got onto a bizarre side of Tiktok, and I had to show it to you. It’s all TikTokers trying to identify Chat Noir and Ladybug which are the superheroes of Paris if you guys aren’t aware. Chat Noir has a costume like a black cat and can, like, destroy stuff while Ladybug looks like…a ladybug and has a yo-yo? Don’t ask me, the French translations just confuse me even more. But, let me just show you a TikTok.

A clip of Lana Condor waving to the crowd on the red carpet cuts to a clip of Ladybug waving to a crowd on top of a building. The clip then cuts to side by side, slowed-down zooms on their hands. Text appears on screen: Mannerisms the same!

So, if you know anything about Lana Condor, you will know how far-fetched it is, but let me let her explain.

A clip of Lana Condor walking along the street while paparazzi harass her.

Paparazzo: Ladybug!

Condor looks around confused, before pointing to herself.

Lana Condor: I’m American!

If you don’t know, Lana Condor is an actress most famous for her starring role in To All of the Boys I’ve Loved Before. As she said, she’s American. She doesn’t even speak French! But, people believe steadfastly in this.

A picture of the Tiktok comment section is shown that says:

people clown on us bc lana has apparently never been pictured in Paris, but we all know from when lb and cn showed up in ny that they can get places pretty quick. plus astro/cosmo

For the uninitiated, “lb” means ladybug, “cn” means chat noir, cosmo means Cosmocat which is the name for Chat Noir’s spacesuit, and Astro is Astrobug—the name for Ladybug’s spacesuit. Yes, you heard that right. These two have gone into space.

Also, they’re referencing the time when Ladybug and Chat Noir showed up in New York City, funnily enough right in time for French-American week. Shout out to our favorite fighting Frenchman!

But, that was actually a tame theory, rooted in more evidence than others. There’s ones where they just take pictures of anyone in Paris who possibly looks like them. Let’s take a look…

the cringe I feel when these tiktokers try to pass any asian celebrity off as ladybug…

🎭 @fanaticpop • 1y ago

I wonder if this is just the natural conclusion of keeping a secret identity. Like people are going to wonder? That’s why the ny supers just show their faces.

🦠 @oogabooga • 1y ago

@fanaticpop But, ladybug and chat noir shouldn’t have to show their faces. They already give so much for Paris and that should be respected.

#voice is changed but still…


[Instagram clip with an interviewer sitting in a dark room. The Ladyblogger’s voice is changed and comes from off-screen.

Transcript:

Interviewer: How do you gather all your intel?

Ladyblogger: I try to be around the action, and get it from there. I also have some sources. I won’t tell who! But, they make sure I have pretty up-to-date information.

Interviewer: Are the sources close to the superheroes?

Ladyblogger: You could say that.

Interviewer: How do you come up with the most likely-to-be list?

Ladyblogger: Honestly, I just look at whoever is being speculated and then verify a few facts about them like age, physical features, and stuff. It’s not that serious. I was even considering adding a voting option that could move people up or down the list.

Interviewer: What’s the reasoning behind when you explicitly don’t add certain people to the list?

Ladyblogger: [laughter] I don’t think I really do that.

Interviewer: Really? There are a few faces that haven’t popped up on the list that are pretty popular.

Ladyblogger: Like who?

Interviewer: Lana Candor.

Ladyblogger: She’s American! No, that makes no sense.

Interviewer: Okay, well, what about Adrien Agreste?

Ladyblogger: Too young.

Interviewer: The internet doesn’t seem to think so.

Ladyblogger: [Laughter] Well, maybe once I add the voting option they can put him up there.

Interviewer: I’m sure they will. Now, do you think if their identities are revealed, they’ll be on the likely-to-be list?

Ladyblogger: Honestly? No. I don’t think the superheroes as civilians are famous enough to end up on it. Like I said, the list is more of a gimmick.

Interviewer: Do you hope their identities are revealed?

Ladyblogger: Some part of me says yes. The journalistic part. But, overall, I think they deserve to keep their masks on. I’ve talked with Ladybug before—

Interviewer: You have?

Ladyblogger: Yeah, usually right before or after she shows up to fight an akuma. I’ve never had my phone recording.

Interviewer: Bummer.

Ladyblogger: Yeah. So, I feel like their job would just be too hard if masks were revealed. Think about it. Akumas target emotionally vulnerable people right? If everyone knew who Ladybug and Chat Noir were, it would be that much easier for them to be targeted.

Interviewer: That makes sense. But, I’m sure you’ve heard this question: what if they turn on Paris?

Ladyblogger: I have heard it before. A lot. Ultimately, I think we have to put some trust in them that they’re just not going to do that. They save us almost every day so I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Also, we can’t give them reason to. So, no harassing them for identities or the like. I’m talking to you, Tiktok!

Interviewer: So there’s nothing going on between you too? Nothing?

Adrien Agreste: No, no, Marinette is a good friend. Her family owns the Dupain-Cheng bakery that Chat Noir posted about, I think.

Interviewer: Oh, yes, the superhero’s favorite bakery. You know, Paris will be okay if you eventually get snatched up. They still have Chat Noir.

Adrien Agreste: You think so?
