Adrichat is the pairing of Adrien Agreste and Chat Noir, two personas of the same character, and thus a selfcest ship. It is largely a crack ship.
The Adrichat ship initially started with a popular Tumblr post from user buggachat. The post joked about how Adrien would google his name with Chat Noir's to see if anyone suspected his secret identity just to instead only find RPF Adrien/Chat Noir fanfiction. Because of this post, Adrichat became an extremely popular joke in the fandom for a brief period. Since there were so many different takes on the joke, Adrichat ended up coming 2nd place on Tumblr's Fandometrics weekly ship round-up for April 20th, 2020 despite few people genuinely shipping it. The Fandometrics post acknowledged Adrichat's significant rise from not being featured in the top 20 previously to being 2nd place by including a Chat Noir gif at the bottom of the post and by using Miraculous Ladybug tags. The post was received positively by fans.
Adrichat occasionally also refers to pairing Adrien/Chat Noir with another person who is an identical doppelgänger - doppelgängers have been encountered a few times in Miraculous canon.
