5 MLC Only LaDrien Makes Sense! 2-7

*SPOILER* FT ch 541. And S1 (duh) of MLC, kinda MariChat S2

*Warning* Will be confusing because I'm talking about 2 and 4 people at the same time. If you don't watch Miraculous, I suggest skipping this chapter until you have. Too many head spins if you haven't. And if you have watched it, and it is still confusing... Well, sorry. Can't help much there.

Also, I know lots of season 2 spoilers have come out. But I have not seen them. And I will not see MLCS2 until the whole season has been released. I repeat: I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM! So, please DON'T SPOIL IT FOR ME!! (And neither has PS or M🥜. So don't spoil it for them, either.)
So obviously, I'm basing this off S1. If you've seen some of S2 and S2 makes the points I use invalid, don't explain why in your comment, just say that it is invalid and I will see it for myself when I see S2.

Now, I know I'm shooting myself in the foot here, because I ship AdrieNette, LadyNoir and LaDrien. So what I say actually making sense, and proving that most ships won't happen feels wrong... but, because it bugs me, I have to say it.
I mean, I get that people want all 4 ships to happen-And it might, if they aren't as thick in S2 as they are in S1-but, logically (without anyone breaking their unspoken vows to their crushes) I don't see how 3 out of 4 ships could work out.

LaDrien is the only ship that would work.
The reason is because they are technically the only ship that we know likes each other. The others all have 1 (or both, in the case of MariChat) person who has a crush on a different identity. Think about it:

AdrieNette: We know Marinette has a crush on Adrien, (how could we not?) but as far as we know, Adrien just sees her as a friend. Besides, Adrien is Chat Noir, and that means...

LadyNoir: Chat has a crush on Ladybug. If you need proof-Dark Cupid, the scene where he gets the love letter from Mari/LB. The only time boys do the whole *dreamy slide down a wall and weird sigh thing* [that me and PS mocked when we heard it] is when they have a crush. Oh yeah, as well as the confession he tried to say before being shot. Almost forgot about that. Chat sacrificing himself so many times (*sob* Alix, how could you?) is more proof that he likes her.
LB keeps turning away Chat's flirtations because she has a crush on Adrien and doesn't want to betray him (Even if he doesn't see her as a love interest in the end.)
Granted, they have kissed, so... it is canon, but LB only did it so Chat would get unpossessed. (Feels so wrong saying why my ships won't sail!)

MariChat: As explained above, they both have crushes on the other identity, so why would they fall for the one that they don't like? It doesn't make much sense. (Unless something like the Evillstrator happens again, and they realise, deep down, that they do actually like the identity that they didn't have a crush on. [Which I doubt would happen, but we did get spoilers of a MariChat balcony scene, so...] It might in S2, we don't know.)
I say it won't work, but have MariChat books in my library... Not a hypocrite at all.
PS: After revealing themselves, yes, MariChat would happen, but before? It won't work.

LaDrien: Mari/LB likes Adrien and Adrien/CN likes Ladybug. It makes perfect sense, because they are not betraying anyone, not having crushes on someone else. They have no barriers to their ship.

And I know that the reason most people like AdrieNette, LadyNoir and MariChat is BECAUSE they don't like each other. (It gives it a HUZZAH! factor if/when they do get together [in fanfics and MLC itself]) It also causes some great tension in fanfics if one has to finally realise that they actually do like the other identity after all.
So, I get that. Really, I do. (I do ship AdrieNette and LadyNoir, after all.)
But... One thing still bothers me.
