Summary
Tired of the way season 4 is treating Chat. In general, I don't like the way people are treating Adrien/Chat. His father ignores him, Nathalie needs to be professional because of her job. Gorilla seems to care but he also has to be professional. Ladybug and Fu don't tell him things. Only Nino and Alya are nice to him in cannon as Adrien. Marinette too I guess, but she rarely interacts with Adrien. I'd mark them as acquaintances at most. But we do know that Nino has/had some issues with Chat.

Summary
“That’s my seat,” is the first thing that leaves Lila’s mouth when she walks into the classroom.
Marinette pretends to think it over. “I don’t believe it. It doesn’t have your name written on it.”
“It doesn’t have yours either,” Lila snaps.
“She never claimed it as hers, did she?” Adrien tests.

Summary
Adrien’s heightened senses picked up low growling from the back of the room. He slowly turned to see Marinette tensed over her desk, muscles coiled.
Like she was about to spring at someone.
Adrien’s first instinct was to duck. He’d seen Marinette snap once. It was at Chloe. And, well, it wasn’t pretty.
But then he saw it fluttering at the window.
Akuma. AKUMA!
Bad. This is very bad. If Marinette is akumatized in this state-
Paris would burn.
The blue-black demonic insect squeezed itself through the window seam and fluttered toward Marinette, loping along like it had all the time in the world.
He found his wits for a moment.
“Mari! Marinette, AKUMA!” he screamed, pointing behind her. The whole class whipped around to see Marinette’s head snap up, panicked for a moment.
Then her eyes narrowed.
And she grinned.
(AKA the writer is feeling sadistic and takes it out on the sunshine children)

Summary
“I know he said never to take you back,” Plagg mutters. “But he’d change his tune if he knew.” He looks Adrien straight in the eye and, more serious than Adrien’s ever seen him before, says, “There’s someone you gotta meet. He’s been looking for that book for ages.”
How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?

Summary
“There will come a time, my darling,” her Great Grandmother Margaret Dupain née Black said, “that those around you will show you who they truly are at heart, whether they are friends, foes, or mindless sheep. When that time comes it may be more politic to let them think that you forgive them but never forget it, not even for a second. They showed you their true colors, believe them.”
