Okay, lots of thoughts so ima just cram it into this post.
1. AU where it takes place in season 3 and Adrien starts getting interested in “nerdy media” (creepypasta, Twilight, My Little Pony, etc) and finds friends online that share the same interests as him. I think this AU could be really cute even though it’s a bit of a comfort/self indulgent AU but idrc, basically a crack AU taken seriously at times.
2. I was rambling in my mind if Marinette would still support Adrien if he was actually a huge nerd (a little bit tied to number 1) and I was gonna ask others but I already got my answer and the answer is, no.
3. It’d be pretty cool if around late season 3 to season 4, Gabriel would realize he’s taking stuff too far when Nathalie gets sick and stuff and lowkey just gains brain cells to not put all of Paris, including his son, in danger because he wants to bring his wife back from the dead. Like, it could be a small redemption AU where Gabriel tries to right his wrongs and stuff and maybe a little Gabriel x Nathalie sprinkled into it.
