you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

(partly because the Insta stuff is all dated 2019–2020, and still has to fit into the rest of canon, which is dated ?? 2014–2017 ??)

Summary:

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Or, causality is not an oxymoron.

A suggested episode order for Miraculous Ladybug canon, with reasoning.

Chapter 1: First-watch order, spoiler-avoidant (with dates of upcoming episode premieres)
Chapter 2: Chronological order
Chapter 3: Episode order reasoning (assume spoilers for all aired-in-order episodes and all deuterocanon)

For snowflake_challenge 4, "add something to your canon", and marchmetamatterschallenge

First-watch order, imo, moves Origins to sometime after "Princess Fragrance" and before "Collector". Origins was apparently originally supposed to be the S1 finale, thus between "Volpina" and "Collector"; this is an okay place to put it, I suppose, except that "Collector" begins moments before "Volpina" ends, on a different camera angle of the same moment.

Ignore how many seasons US Netflix says the show has. US Netflix is wrong about a great many things; one of them is what it says are seasons two and three are in fact S2, and everything listed under seasons four and five is S3. ("Santa Claws" has its episode number given as 0.00 because it is the Christmas special that US Netflix inexplicably has as a whole separate show.) See also miraculousubs Discord.
