click the green flag for music ^^ hello everyone! this is part 2 to my GABENATH series, where i'm gonna be rambling about my dilemmas and confusion. if you havent seen part one i highly recommend :D !!! also ive only watched until ep9 so please no spoilers from after unless it's a sweet & simple gabenath scene because believe me i need assurance. i am very very very scared not fun btw, this does involve some season five spoilers (like the first episode) so avert ur eyes if you don't wanna see ^^ ok, so now presenting... DO I SHIP GABENATH? honestly, you probably think i do but tbh i have no idea. i mainly shipped gabenath for a couple of reasons and it seems as though my original reasons aren't valid anymore? i was thinking about what to say in this project in my bed & fr started tearing up because this ship legit has such a special place in my heart to the point where even if i wanted to (which i kinda do #amenath) i can't because i love it ❤ so i mostly made this to connect with my emotions and like figure it out. it kind of seems like i am making this way more dramatic than it actually is which i mean i do do that quite a bit but no joke i love miraculous no matter what flaws it has specifically for my agreste family dynamic and all sorts of stuff and can't bring myself to stop watching :cry: okokok i am getting on a tangent here so let's go back to the *actual point* of this project. so here are the reasons why i ship gabenath and me rambling because that is definitely happening: 1) uh my love NATHALIE??? yeah everyone >:)) i wanna say during my 2020-2021 phase my only actual reason for shipping gabenath was "omg NATHALIE loves him!!111!!" and i mean, in the span of like 2(????) years since 2021 i have definitely matured in terms of in depth lore and understanding meaning and all that and just in general ANALYZING the characters so this isn't my only reason atm but yk nathalie is a queen like what did you expect smh so pretty <3 but like honestly IDK if this is valid anymore because of #season-five-spoilers NATHALIE IS SUPER ANNOYED WITH GABRIEL? idk because i feel like when you love someone and they do something incredibly stupid you dont just stop loving them and we have legit proof (at least i believe so??) that nathalie probably loved gabriel even before this hawkmoth stuff so idk that just doesn't really sit well with me that she doesnt love him anymore? but then again, gabriel picked his freaking obsession with the miraculous over saving nathalie and emilie so like IG nathalie has a reason to be pissed..... ;_; like fr i am ALL FOR nathalie being a boss queen and getting it into gabriel's head he's a maniac but like? i mean gabriel *has* made a lot of stupid mistakes so like i guess? but i don't rlly get it. i also don't ship nathaliexemilie because i don't. i'm sorry, i just hate the ship so much and i don't even know why. i guess it's probably cuz it interferes with GABENATH but also it doesnt make sense for this all to have been because she loves emilie since there's been so many proofs that nathalie loves gabriel such as the one where audrey got akumatized or the episode ladybug. and i'm all for poly representation but i just can't see emilie x nathalie x gabriel. i'm having a very hard time envisioning that so i don't ship it. i am a person and i would ship amelie and nathalie but i'm too into gabenath at this point for that. (i made a whole fan fic art thing about amenath as teenager before nathalie knew them and that's how nathalie got introduced to the agrestes! very cute ehehe). i feel like that went off topics but uh YEAH if you have any spoiler free ideas please lmk i've only watched until episode 9 of s5 lol ^^""" ok now i'm gonna move on to my second point or we'll be here for days :happy-cry: 2) i believed in gabriel sounds kinda dramatic, but hear me out :cry: i am a person who wholeheartedly believes that people CAN change. people can become better and honestly? if this had anything to do with gabriel, it's the fact that i believe he could be there for his son. for his family. i have this vision that nathalie and gabriel will get married and raise adrien. heck, even adrien supports gabenath... but, gabriel is an idiot. nathalie is very smart and obviously she understood when gabriel was going crazy. i think in risk is when she gave him the "he's loco" face. when nathalie gave him the USB drive he was a dumb(yk) and was blinded by greed for miraculous. if anything, she's being harsh because she a) is super pissed and b) wants him to be better. gabriel is lucky she's still there for him. honestly, man doesn't even deserve her. i feel like that's where i started to question my loyalties to this ship. do i want to be shipping it anymore? well, yes, but also no... it's incredibly hard to let go. i still have trouble leaving lukanette but it was a lot easier because I []
(have to continue here cuz instructions is too long loll) [] KNEW from the beginning it wouldn't be canon. i love luka, and i know they will continue to be great friends. but gabenath is harder because as a kids show you'd expect it to teach things like people being able to let go and keep people in their hearts and things like that, which adrien has obviously done, but isn't it awkward as well as wrong if the father is pining on his basically dead wife and ends up never moving on? isn't that sad?.. but anyways, if they bring back emilie i will actually stop watching the show. because why? isn't it sad that nathalie never got a happy life. but also, it's stupid because it's not like i can bring people back, nobody can. miraculous *is* magic, but.... i don't think it's a good idea. i think the show should teach MOVING FORWARD and all that. i feel like i might be taking it too seriously, but i have been analyzing and honestly believe all this. sorry if it doesn't make sense anymore, i'm so tired from this that's all my reasons i can write anymore but i can do a follow up if you'd like! so now, to answer my question: DO I SHIP GABENATH ANYMORE? i think it's a grey area. not completely black nor white. as i've been writing, i realize villains like nathalie are more of a grey area because nobody is one or the other. even chat noir for example. although we portray ourselves as one or the other, often times we have bottled feelings/motives that seem hero or villain. but that's a whole another thing. what i mean is, i'd like to see gabenath happen more than any other gabriel or nathalie ships. so yes, i do ship it. but also, i kind of dislike it at the same time which is kind of strange but please forgive me because cuz i haven't fully figured it out. do YOU ship gabenath? lmk in the comments, along with ur ideas as i'd love to read ❤ thanku everyone, good bye until next time!! #gabenath #rant #s5 #cry #thousand-words also the music is kloud - blood --> first project in the series! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/801071051/ wish i made this during swc :skull:
