And once again Adriens Instagram account is laying out another meta question appropriate for a character like Adrien
Because yes, Adrien is the son of a super rich and famous fashion designer. The brand “Gabriel” is huge in the world of fashion. And him being the son of Gabriel one would think that he would most likely stay within his fathers fashion empire for his adult life. And it would be quite practical and obvious wouldn’t it? I mean Adrien is not only Gabriels most prominent, popular and profitable model, hes also the face of the brand and became a quite a name himself. Adrien basically has nothing to worry about concerning his future. Even if he one day gets too old to model, his family is so loaded, he wouldn’t need to work anyway.
Basically
Adriens privilege of being born into a rich and famous family with their own popular fashion brand gives him the opportunity other people can only dream of right? His heritage gifts him a set in stone future of luxury and fame for a life time. Perfect, isn’t it?
Theoretically, yes
But Adriens Instagram post brings up an important question:
“Does Adrien even WANT this?”
Call this first world problems however you like (because frankly, to some level it IS) but one has to keep in mind that just like any other kid in this show Adrien didn’t choose his family status either (I don’t think I have to clarify that Adrien would seriously prefer to have a more normal, closer and private life like the Dupain-chang’s for example).
Adriens “job” (pretty sure Gabriel ain’t paying his son) as main model for his fathers brand isn’t so much a opportunity for him than a time consuming responsibility he has to uphold for an unlimited amount of time. This could literally go on for the next 10+ years because that’s expected of him.
Which brings up another question we also could answer ourselves straight away:
“Has anyone ever asked Adrien what HE wants out of life and what he wants to do in his future?”
Because the show tells me and now this post of Adrien confirms it that, no, what Adrien wants has never been a priority to the point that either Gabriel(lol as if) or even EMILIE supported their son in his own interests enough that he could now follow and turn those into a future carrier like Marinette, Alya and even Nino for examples
Even his “hobbies” we see in the show (fencing, Chinese and Japanese and piano) are depicted more as activities that are EXPECTED of him than actually hobbies of his own choice.
And even if his parents did support him and let him do hobbies of his own choice (if one did then probably Emilie tho), Adriens interests, once he started having to uphold his family name and its responsibilities, were then quickly put second in favor of the Agreste responsibilities put onto him and more practical and reputable hobbies.
In other words
Fuck Gabriel Agreste. And Emilie, you’re on thin fucking ice Lady cuz I can’t proof shit right now and I wanna believe that you were a good mom but I swear to God the evidences ain’t on your side
