Yeeeeah nobody likes this idea. But at this point Adrien only cares whether it will work.

CN serious injury, self-injury, blood. Might also choose not to click if you're unnerved by vampires.

Scenario: Post-reveal on multiple fronts. Marinette is on the verge of dying. (Internal bleeding? Blood loss? Who knows? I haven't decided exactly what bits Gabriel stabbed yet.) Tikki is exhausted. Neither Marinette nor Adrien has anything to feed Tikki. No one will be able to get them help of any kind soon enough unless Gabriel permits that, which he will not do. Recent events have not exactly lessened Adrien's willingness to get himself hurt or killed if his so doing will improve Ladybug's chances against Hawkmoth. Killing Gabriel is technically an option Adrien has, but it's neither desirable nor, more to the point, certain.

Think Tikki could recharge via Adrien's blood sugar?

ETA: I did math and no.

Sure, the math wouldn't add up, but if Tikki has decided that Hawkmoth is going to be a meal, I'm not sure she cares about the math. Or whether he's going to hold still while she ravages him. Tikki's unchecked lucky charm might not make it matter, either.

I think the only person who matters in determining who lives and who dies if Tikki goes unchecked is Tikki.

Valid points but like. The picture in my head involves Adrien (who proposed this and, on being assured it could work, wouldn't take no for an answer without a less risky alternative being presented) looking Gabriel dead in the eyes while Tikki's drinking, so Gabriel is forced to realize just how desperate Adrien is--how desperate Gabriel has made him--and to illustrate the contrast between a desperate Adrien and a desperate Gabriel. This picture derails because it couldn't actually work. And let's be honest, this picture started out way creepy ANYWAY. This idea is done. :P

Okay. Done idea, creepy imagery.
