When commissioning this piece, I drew inspiration from the episode "The Incredible Shrinking Stiltons," specifically the moment Professor von Volt whacked Matilda—while she was in Trap's body—with a newspaper. Believe me, in his hands, that thing is a terrifying weapon—especially if you’ve upset his assistant.

Cerise may be smart and cunning, and possess capabilities Gabriel lacked, but let’s look at the situation realistically: her arsenal consists solely of the Butterfly Miraculous—which isn't the most powerful in direct combat—and she is up against not just two superheroes, but a full seventeen, each with abilities capable of taking her out in a single hit during a direct confrontation.

Ladybug is experienced and strong enough to avoid falling into her traps; otherwise, Cerise would have discovered her secret identity long ago—back during "Vampigami" or "Secret Protocol." Plus, Ladybug handles her akumatized villains much more easily than the ones created by Hawk Moth, simply because she has the necessary skills. After all, Chrysalis is still a novice at this.

And the key thing is that Cerise holds a trump card: she knows Ladybug lied to the entire world about Monarch and Gabriel, but she *cannot* use this information—because doing so would land Tomoe in prison as an accomplice, and Cerise is emotionally attached to her as a mother figure.

What tactics does Chrysalis plan to use starting from Season 7, now that she no longer has her lair or her precious records? I am very intrigued; I hope she comes to see me as something more.

The Butterfly Miraculous is still being used for evil, and Ladybug is struggling to handle the pressure because she is still just a teenager. Did the Order really fail to notice the havoc Monarch wreaked using the Alliance rings? Realistically, they ought to start searching all over Paris for Chrysalis.

Rewatching the first season, I noticed just how cool, sarcastic, and witty Adrien was. He definitely could have put that trio in their place.

When she read her notebook, the first thing she mentioned was that Gabriel was dead, and that's why he couldn't be Ladybug. So Iris wasn't bothered by the fact that a grown man physically couldn't be a teenage girl? Or was she unironically considering this because Miraculouses can allow you to shapeshift (you know, because Gabriel and Hawk Moth were so physically different)?

As far as I can tell, she could have started to put together a logical chain of events here, according to which Gabriel and Hawk Moth are the same person... BUT! She's literally standing next to Marinette, who she's really pissed off. The Princess of Justice would literally leave her in pieces, repeating the Oni-Chan episode.

I find this a very funny detail, Lila would not have enjoyed her genius for long.

I really wanted them to be a villainous duo like Gabriel and Natalie had been before, I thought it was obvious that they would meet one day and be a canon couple, but as you can see, I was very wrong.

A craftswoman from Moscow finally made me Asgore and sent it to my city. I'm so happy, I can't wait to put it on my shelf.

I would always prefer to see Pandora as a boy. His name is Pandor, by the way.

I ordered it from a woman named Yulia Ushkalova, who knitted it for me. I don't have enough Lila merch, so I had to resort to these measures.
