* In "Rocketear" Alya discusses how difficult it will be to keep her secret from Nino, her boyfriend, Marinette says that it wasn't easy hiding the truth from her best friend. Marinette directly compared her platonic relationship with her best friend to said friend's romantic relationship with a guy.
* A scene near the end of the Miraculous World:Paris special has Marinette and Alya laying on a lounge chair together, basically cuddling, while Marinette tells Alya how lucky she was to have met her. They even kiss each other! (On the cheeks[[note]]Kissing on the cheeks in France is similar to hugging in the US[[/note]], but still!)

* Clara Nightingale gets very up close and personal to Marinette, such as dancing with her, dipping her with their faces a literal inch apart, and getting down on one knee when asking her to take part in the music video, very much the same as Cat Noir did in "Evillustrator" when he went to kiss her hand. The fact that Marinette ''smiles and blushes'' when Clara dips her doesn't quite help.
** Clara also immediately takes back Marinette after Chloé's audition despite Chloé doing very well (she mentions she's had eight years of dancing lessons and Marinette, [[CuteClumsyGirl well...]]) and being dressed in a well-made Ladybug costume and wig.
** It starts from the ''very beginning'' of the episode. When watching her on television and talking about her, we get ''multiple'' instances of her holding her hands against her cheeks and talking about her in an increasingly squeaky voice as she absolutely gushes over how great she is. We never see her act like this with any non-Adrien person, even the other celebrities she's met. It happens ''again'' when everyone's waiting in line to see her, with Mari excited that Clara is coming in their direction (this ''just'' before the scene mentioned earlier, with Clara dancing with her.)
* It's debatable since the kwamis in the Miracle Box are genderless and are qualified as "brothers and sisters" by Plagg, but during the kwami party in "Sandboy", horse and goat kwamis Kaalki and Ziggy (who both have feminine voices and are referred to by female pronouns) are seen gleefully dancing with each other. Later in the episode, Ziggy is seen helping Kaalki to stand up after the kwamis' confrontation with Hawk Moth.
* Pretty much the entirety of "Chameleon" is Lila trying to kiss Ladybug. Granted, that's how her shapeshifting power works, and she spends most of the time in various male forms, but still. Also, she's defeated by tricking her into ''kissing a clam'', which sounds like a DoubleEntendre for oral sex.
** Additionally when Lila gives an ultimatum to Marinette to make her decide to be Lila's friend or she'll make Marinette lose all her friends, Lila [[WallPinofLove pins her against the wall]]. The scene takes place in the restroom though. At the end of the episode, she [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace gets right up in Marinette's face almost seductively]], and when Marinette smiles and laughs it off it actually gets her flustered. All in all, Lila gives off a vibe of [[FoeRomanceSubtext hating Marinette far more passionately than she likes Adrien]].
** Regardless of how she feels about Marinette, "Oni-chan" confirms that she definitely hates ''Ladybug'' more than she likes Adrien.
** In "Heart Hunter" Marinette is given the chance of choosing combos from André's ice cream of love, that more than once was hinted to give people hints about their future partner. Marinette ends up choosing the peppermint-orange combo, reproducing Lila's color scheme of green eyes and orange jacket.
* Chloé booping Marinette on the nose near the end of "Animaestro", not only did she do this while telling her she wasn't worth Adrien's attention, but Marinette appears to look a bit flustered after it. Could it be that Marinette is worth someone else's attention?
** Also in "Cat Blanc" we see Chloé angry that Marinette and Adrien are a couple, but given Chloé's hinted lack of romantic attraction to Adrien, it very well might've not been Adrien she was mad about seeing taken.
* A very subtle one, but in "Backwarder", Ladybug visits the pharmacist to give her the prescription for Master Fu's medication, but ends up accidentally giving her the letter that he wrote for Marianne. The pharmacist reads the letter and exclaims that while she's very flattered at Ladybug's apparent feelings for her, she's already taken (plus her name's not Marianne) Though neither is implied to have actual feelings for the other, the show ''clearly'' acknowledges girl-on-girl-itude to be a thing, and something the pharmacist has no problem with even though she doesn't share Ladybug's supposed feelings.

** However, considering the fact that his Mr. Bug form is pretty muscular as well, he might [[InformedAttractiveness actually be muscular in-universe]], but the team can't be bothered to re-model him.
* Adrien has some quasi-{{selfcest}} moments in "Copycat" and "Chameleon".
* While Adrien obviously means a lot to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Plagg]], it is sporadically implied that Plagg's affection reached an extent that surpasses the normal relationships between Kwamis and their human partners. Compared to Tikki, who has a more [[TheConscience mentor-like relationship]] with Marinette, Plagg is far, far more flagrant and sentimental in his interactions with his human partner. This gem from "Syren" sums it up:
-->'''Plagg:''' Oh, I'm sure there'll be another Cat Noir to give me cheese... but he won't be ''you''.
** In "Chameleon", Plagg attempts what basically amounts to using the TrueLovesKiss to awaken Adrien from the sleep the latter was forced into by the titular Akuma, a la ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' or ''Literature/SnowWhite''.
*** Albeit Adrien awakened before anything happened, and Plagg was visibly reluctant about going through with the idea, it should be noted that this was nonetheless ''the very first thing'' he thought of when trying to come up with a way to free Adrien. It doesn't help that of all assurances he could've used to rationalize trying it, he chose NoOneWillEverKnow.
* "Party Crasher" is just ''loaded'' with homoerotic subtext, as the boys all decide to throw a party at Adrien's place with girls being explicitly forbidden. Ostensibly, it's so that Mylene and Alya don't find out that their boyfriends ditched them, but still.
** At one point they put on a vinyl record of a Music/VillagePeople {{Expy}} - a ''bright rainbow'' record with sparkle dust - and several guests dress up like the Village People and sing a song similar to "YMCA" (which is titled ''The Holiday Camp Dance'').
** It's just about everywhere you look in the party scenes. You see Mayor Bourgeois and Butler Armand made up like drag queens (ineptly made up drag queens, but still), and Kim is a WalkingSwimsuitScene who is seen striking a pose on top of the grand piano, at one point, and ''pole dancing'' on the fireman's pole that descends from the gallery later on. Overwhelmingly, what we're witnessing here looks like the jubilation of a bunch of gay men who can't be Out in their public personas finally getting together in a safe space and being able to stop pretending. (And then the VillainOfTheWeek shows up and everybody runs like they're in a pre-Stonewall gay bar being raided by the police.)
