Nothing sucks about correcting misinformation, which is something a lot of this fandom tend to do to make certain supporters of a character look bad. At the very least I make sure to have evidence of what I’m saying to back up my claims. If you don’t like the conversation just keep scrolling.

Okay *sigh* this scene in itself has many problems. And I’m gonna give this my thoughts.

I just really dislike this scene. Why does he keep tryna kiss her after clearly seeing that she is uncomfortable?! Before anyone says anything I know that what Adrien is doing is La bise. We’ve seen it with Marinette and Chloe back in Despair Bear. But however that doesn’t excuse what he is doing because Marinette clearly doesn’t want to so why must he continue?

I mean like if you are meeting up with your friend and you try to give them a hug as a sign of friendlyness, but the person you are trying yo get in contact with backs away immediately, would you keep hugging them?

It was fine the first time, nothing wrong there. Then the second time he tries it again and that’s fine because mabye he didn’t get the hint. But the third time? Absolutely not! This dude clearly doesn’t know what boundaries are… (well considering how he is Chat Noir it shouldn’t be surprising am I right?) And don’t even get me started on Alya. She fucking restrians Marinette from backing away and I thought she was getting some sort of development during season 4 ;-;. Why the fuck is she so pushy this episode.

Like what even is this writing?

Hi! Are you still mad about the ML finale? ‘Cause I very much am, but I feel a little silly about it. I know the show isn’t high art, but I am just so disappointed that they never do anything with the potential that it does have

Sorry about the late response, tumblr isn't showing when I get asks apparently.

But to answer your question, no, I'm not mad.

I'm furious.

It has nothing to do with it not being high art, it's about the writing blatantly doing everything it can, including contradicting itself, dumbing down characters, etc., just to sabotage one character.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

Thomas says it himself, that the way the show is supposed to go, is that Marinette has to learn a lesson every episode. So basically what he's saying is that Marinette, no matter how much it doesn't make sense, is always wrong. Always. When she does the right thing, she's wrong. When she gets bullied, she's wrong. When everyone turns against her because of a liar, she's wrong. When she breathes, she's wrong.

But when Adrien Agreste is the one that's wrong, which happens more often than not, he's never wrong. He barely if ever faces consequences because in Thomas's words, "he's perfect." It's always that world that is wrong and not Adrien. But that's just the thing though, isn't it. The world isn't blamed for being wrong, it's Marinette that is. The blatant misogyny, comedic, and dismissive take on a female POC suffering, and the glorification of this white boy (even if he's actually a sentimonster he still has that privilege) as the one who is morally right when it's false, is absolutely vile.

Marinette has full on panic attacks and yet most of the miraculous fandom doesn't give a single damn about her being crushed under the pressure of all of her responsibilities.

But the moment Adrien Agreste looks sad, everyone is ready to go to war. It's disgusting how people find him more sympathetic just because his father is controlling. They dismiss his problematic behavior, and while some could say the same about Marinette fans, it's not actually the same. It's far different.

For one thing, when people complain about Marinette's obsessive behavior regarding Adrien, they always disregard her efforts to get over him. ALWAYS. They also disregard how she was often forced into interacting with him by her friends and even Tikki. They call her a stalker, but you see plenty of times that Alya is the one who approaches her about Adrien's location and will even physically push Marinette into going along with a plot.

I'm not gonna disregard the times Marinette was out of line, but a lot of the time her friends were the ones who encouraged her into interacting with him when she was too scared to, and there's plenty of instances of that in the show. Marinette even says NO plenty of times but is often either ignored or just outright dismissed when she says she's trying to get over him.

For all that the fandom tries to call her a stalker, the writing, inconsistent as it is, proves that she isn't. In fact that's one of the things it has been consistent on. By definition, isn't a stalker, and by the show itself proving time after time that her friends involvement, whether she likes it or not, is usually the catalyst to her and Adrien interacting. In fact she'd been changing for the better in that regard and even found romance with someone else before it was taken away from her.

Adrien on the other hand was told to stop going after Ladybug by Plagg and by Ladybug herself. And yet he kept going. He kept pushing. There is no episode where anyone is forcing him to interact with Ladybug when he doesn't want to, that's purely only happening to Marinette. And unlike Marinette, Adrien actually fits the definition for sexual harassment. His advances are unwanted, and he knows that they are unwanted, he's been told numerous times. And yet somehow the fandom blames Ladybug for his shortcomings because like Thomas said, Marinette has to learn a lesson every episode. She's always wrong even if she's right. And that means that Adrien is right, even when he's wrong.

I can honestly say that while everyone claims he hates Chloe, I say he hates Marinette the most. Because by his own words, if Marinette is always wrong and needs to learn a lesson, then that means in some way Chloe is more right than she is, even if she's a bully. Because Chloe doesn't learn a lesson every episode. Neither does any of the other villains. Even when Hawk Moth is defeated there's no real consequence for him. He loses the fight, but he gets the opportunity to try again. It's a minor setback, whereas for Marinette it's constant criticism that she doesn't need or deserve.

And now because of the season 4 finale, Adrien gets framed once again as being in the right, as if he was right all along and he wasn't. Not once. While Marinette gets all of the blame as if she was a total failure instead of using her brain to make the only logical decision that was available to her. Felix barely caught any heat for what he did, nope, it was Marinette. She was blamed for "pushing Chat Noir away' and other things that she never did. She didn't push him away, she was doing her job, like he should have been.

It's not and has never been her job to coddle him. She's the Guardian now and she has better things to do. And even then she always tried to reassure Chat that he was irreplaceable to her. And when she asked if there was anything wrong he said nothing. Instead he quit like a child. And then Plagg turned on her out of nowhere as if he hadn't been telling Adrien for the entire 4 seasons that he should stop pursuing Ladybug. There was literally no evidence that he'd had any problems with how she ran things until that moment. And when Ladybug correctly thought that Chat being in love with her was the problem, she sought to fix it by finding another Cat that wasn't.

People claim that she was falling in love with Cat Walker and that he wasn't different because he fought the same. But the thing is, he didn't fight the same because he didn't act the same. In my opinion, I think she was just happy that she wasn't being flirted with, but in the end needed Chat Noir back because she was so used to his behavior that her plans were often based on it. So she took the devil she knew. And lets get one thing straight, banter is NOT the same as flirting. She was not flirting back with Chat Noir, EVER.

Thomas may have created a truly awful show that craps all over a female POC, but it's the fans that really make this awful. Because any of Thomas's shitty writing can be dismissed by the amazing talents of fanfiction writers. But its the fans who ignore blatant evidence just to spread misinformation about characters that gets me. Adrien stans especially fit this and unfortunately, they are the larger part of the fandom.

I will take solace however in the fact that the ones who actually have the braincell are the Marinette Stans. At the very LEAST, it's the Marinette stans who actually do the research and prove their points of view. Miraculous Content here on tumblr is proof of that and I encourage anyone who wants to see actual research done to prove how this show treats Marinette vs Adrien to watch some of their videos.

But yeah, I'm still upset about this. I can at least say that unlike the majority of this fandom who can barely type legibly on the internet, (and I'm not saying that to be mean, I've actually seen it) that there are some out there who actually knows how to check their facts and back them up with evidence.

"Chat should get the chance to hand out miraculouses!!!"

Then he's gotta earn the right to do so and maybe start by telling Fu about the almanac or investigating his family's involvement with the miraculous

Only then he can try ripping Marinette's role as guardian-in-training from my cold dead hands

Marinette literally spent all season being a bad partner but no one cared, but now you're crying when the tables are turned. Honestly everything could've been avoided if she was a better partner in the first place

You do realize how you look coming here with no evidence, no rebuttal to literally anything I said, and just making claims without proof? You guys get so bitter about what I say and then you just insult Marinette as well as me while not backing it up with anything. It’d be like if I was in your inbox saying, “How dare you insult Marinette when Chat has been so awful for the whole season!”

You would (even understandably so from a debate standpoint) go, “Where? How? When?” because I provided nothing of value and was clearly just angry. All of my longer salt posts go into a level of detail bordering on excessive, yet you can’t even come up with one counterargument because you don’t care. You’re the one crying that I insulted your poor little feather boy and the only thing you can do is project.

For reference, here’s multiple separate occasions where Ladybug shilled for/supported Chat Noir in Season 4:

“Truth” (where she talks about her favorite traits about him and says that she likes it when he clowns around)

“Guiltrip” (where she tells him that he’s the greatest partner she’s ever had and that she couldn’t do this without him)

“Optigami” (where she apologizes for not getting him and swears that she would had she known his identity)

"Hack-San” (where she promised not to abandon him)

“Rocketear” (where she asked him if he was okay when he looked sad)

“Ephemeral” (where she does whatever she can to keep Su-Han away from Chat Noir while minimizing as much damage as possible identity-wise)

“Kuro Neko” (where she reassured him again that he was needed and apologized to both Plagg and who she thought was Chat Noir)

“Penalteam” (where she was so confident that Chat Noir could take on Penalteam with her that she wasn’t even going to call in other heroes).

She’s a bad partner because she was traumatized and scared to get close to him or reveal her identity? She’s bad because she doesn’t want to but apparently has to do whatever Chat wants? She’s bad because she wants to protect him and is afraid of him getting akumatized (oh, and he’s also gotten mind-controlled on multiple occasions and could’ve been asked what Ladybug’s identity is)?

Here’s what your kid has done:

“Truth” (where he forced Ladybug to tell him her favorite things about him instead of asking literally anything else, unlike Luka “the truth should be shared, not forced,” Couffaine)

“Lies” (where he laughed off Ladybug’s criticisms and said the equivalent of “you’re cute when you’re angry”)

“Gang of Secrets” (where he used Ladybug’s upset state to trick her into going on a date to the cinema with him, then shushed her when she called him out)

“Psycomedian” (where he wastes time painting the entire helmet instead of just the screen)

“Furious Fu” (where he plays soccer with the Miracle Box because he doesn’t take things seriously)

“Queen Banana” (where he Cataclyms the sentimonster because he was too obvious about his attack, causing it to go on a rampage)

“Mega Leech” (where he failed to keep himself from being controlled despite “the distraction” being what he’s supposed to be good at)

“Guiltrip” (where he drags Ladybug into negatively with him because he succumbed to it first, as she was hardly affected beforehand)

“Sentibubbler” (where he commits property damage from Rena Rouge’s plan because he’s so entitled to his position, then brushes it off as “Miraculous Ladybug will fix it” because he does not care)

“Glaciator 2″ (where he tries to suggest that he and Ladybug should kiss when he knows that she’s not into him, then never tries to tell Paris directly that they should stop shipping them since it makes Ladybug uncomfortable)

“Hack-San” (where he tries to Cataclysm Ladybug’s replacement despite having seen her clearly harmless and trying to come up with names for herself - not at all akuma behavior - and doesn’t care even after Alya suggests that she didn’t have time to tell him)

“Rocketear” (where he stewed over the identity situation, didn’t talk to Ladybug about it when asked, and then has the gall to complain about her “not talking to him” in the finale as if he doesn’t do the exact same thing)

“Wishmaker” (where he easily gives into the akuma’s suggestion and almost reveals his identity, then doesn’t confess that weakness to Ladybug later on)

“Dearest Family” (where he was told to stop the akuma from following Ladybug and then failed miserably)

“Kuro Neko” (where he purposefully stays at home instead of going to battle and never tells Ladybug why he was late, continues to push Ladybug even after being refused and waste her time, then manipulates Ladybug into believing that he’s a different hero while having no qualms that Plagg tricked her)

“Penalteam” (where he continues to play despite knowing nothing about soccer and scores in Penalteam’s goal, not even apologizing afterwards)

“Risk” (where he doesn’t tell Ladybug that he’s leaving despite having time to at least text her)

“Strikeback” (where he picks a fight with Ladybug in the middle of a battle, criticizes her over things he’s not entitled to, and gets upset over a new hero she brings)

Not that you haven’t already proven that you aren’t worth listening to since you apparently thought that such a lacking ask was some big “gotcha,” but next time you want to go at someone because you can’t stand the thought of your bootleg sunshine child being criticized, either formulate an actual argument or admit that you don’t have one.

Adrien: Mopes like a sad boy all the time, got what he wanted when the miraculous were stolen, harasses his partner, acts possessive of said partner, caused multiple deaths, caused Bunnix to be lost in time, threw a tantrum while the city is drowning beneath his feet, actively participated in trying to get people akumatized just to see his partner, is useless everywhere you turn, is a bully apologist, never gives anything to anyone even after the’ve sacrificed a lot for him, was only worried about Rena Rouge and Carapace knowing eachother’s identities and not the fact that Nino found his behavior as Cat Noir disturbing, etc (more transgressions that can’t be named on this post)

Adrien stans: Omg! He’s my king! He’s so sad and Ladybug is a terrible partner for not returning his feelings. His dad neglects him so that automatically makes everything he does ok!

Anonymous asked:

My God does Strike Back really culminate in the writers’ ethos on how the LS works. That FUCKING breakdown actually enraged me a bit like holy shit. it’s clearly framed as this huge manganimous thing Chat’s doing and uwu superhero corner is winning out guys uwu.

LB breaks down in the saddest fucking moment and the writers still have to have her say ‘I didn’t trust you and kept secrets from you’ to him as if Kuro Neko ain’t still fresh in all our fucking minds of just HOW untrustworthy this guy actually is, like my god….

They really had the gall to have “Kuro Neko” be, what, two episodes away from the finale? And did it all with a straight face.

And if you insert “Miraculous New York” into the canon (where Ladybug rightfully said that she couldn’t trust Chat Noir anymore), then he was the one who’d already proved that he couldn’t be trusted, yet two episodes into Season 4 they’re pretending it didn’t happen.

“I didn’t trust you!” wow I can’t imagine what perfectly valid reason you had for doing that, Ladybug, but I guess there’s no time to talk about that (nor the trauma they gave her explicitly so she’d be afraid to get close to him)

Anonymous asked:

Considering how Angstrien’s plot this season involved him whining about how MariBug is learning to rely on people that aren’t him, I should’ve seen it coming that they’d take away all the residual miraculous.

Now she has to fall in love with him, guys! She’s isolated, miserable, and overwhelmed, so much so that any remaining standards she has will fall by the wayside as she falls for the only person she has left. They’ve been breaking her down to rock bottom so that even someone as unreliable and self serving as AdriChat would look like a good choice!

What an amazing Girl Power show this has turned out to be!

I genuinely feel like people forget that this is supposed to be a girl power show and not “The Adrien Agreste Show.”

Is it just me or does Marinette have it worse compared to Adrien narratively and in the fandom?

Let’s go over the facts:

Marinette has two bullies while said bullies are rubbing themselves all over Adrien

Marinette is the one constantly embarrassing herself and tripping over a guy who barely acknowledges her

Adrien gets to put other peoples feelings (her bullies) above her’s, but if Adrien isn’t her priority 24/7 she gets bashed to hell and back by the fandom

Adrien is the one who gets to be akumatized and destroy the world, but if Marinette even shows the slightest bit of negativity she gets bashed for being ‘too emotional’ and ‘Irresponsible’

Adrien gets to ‘move on’ with Kagami and actively chase another girl with a mask and got almost no flack from the fandom, but Marinette actively trying to move past Adrien with Luka even though her secret identity keeps getting in the way gets her scorn from the fandom, her friends, and the universe bending over backwards to punish her for trying to leave Adrien behind her

Adrien’s jealousy can get excused but Marinette’s earned her a rival who trying to get her hero persona murdered

It’s alway Ladybug who has to deal with people hating her and trying to destroy her via working with a terrorist and having to endure them in her civilian life (Chloe and Lila) but Chat Noir is never on the receiving end of this

Marinette is portrayed as a jealous person who can’t change how she views people (despite her becoming best friends with Kagami, supporting her relationship with Adrien, and tried to get them together twice Frozer and Pigeon 72), but Adrien’s jealous destructive jealously is either brushed off or justified by the narrative and the audience

Adrien gets to be a bad partner to Kagami for no good reason,but Marinette’s struggle to balance out her secret identity as well as her relationship but gets treated as an even worse partner

Adrien gets to be a bad partner and throw childish tantrums but Marinette is somehow the terrible, irresponsible, toxic, abusive one

Marinette is always held up to unfair standards and expectations while Adrien has close to none both narratively and in the fandom

Marinette is the one bashed for not helping Adrien escape his abusive father (despite being 14) but Adrien is never bashed for not standing up to his father (his age is always used to excuse his passive behavior)

These are just the few I can think of off the time up my head but it’s pretty clear whose side the show is on. This is clearly a show that young girls should look up to.😘

Feel free to reblog and add more if I’m missing anything.

Do people realise that...Marinette doesn't need to have constant flashbacks to Chat Blanc for her to have trauma over it???? That just because she can focus on other stuff doesn't mean that she isn't traumatised by that event??

At this point Lila has more plot armor than Marinette salters ever accused Marinette of having. She literally gets away with everything with zero explanation and zero accountability.

#anti lila #lila rossi salt #is that even her real name?#most likely not #miraculous ladybug #ml salt #marinette sugar #marinette dupain cheng #marinette deserves better #once again the salt against Marinette makes zero sense #there’s literally no explanation as to how lila is able to fool everyone #not magic #not super intelligence #nothing #just writers dumbing down everyone around her to convince people she’s actually a viable threat #make it make sense

The sheer hypocrisy of Marinette salters who are Feligami shippers is absolutely baffling to me.

Every false thing they say about Marinette being a stalker and a bully and all that crap, is literally what is happening with Felix and how he treats Kagami.

Ima need y’all to keep that same energy because at this point the hate for Marinette is childish and is smelling a bit racist to me.

By the way, @staff is changing the video player and photo viewer on the mobile app to the one from Tumblr TV. As a result, they have made the abhorrent decision to remove an important accessibility feature in order to TikTok-ifying Tumblr. You can no longer zoom in on photos. Or so I thought. Because the visually impaired are now second-class users to the Tumblr Staff, they just decided to make it harder to zoom in on photos.

So, for all of you who, like me, find the pinch-to-zoom feature on Tumblr invaluable to read and view photos, you now have to:

Tap the Photo > Tap the “more” button in the description > tap the photo again

This will open the old photo viewer (for now, anyway) which was formerly one tap away. It will grant you all the former features of the old photo viewer, including the ability to zoom in.

EDIT: if you’re seeing this on your For You Dash or some other non-reblogged method you will see this edit. Before reblogging and commenting on this, there is addition information in the replies. I have replies disabled, so I am the only person who can add them. I’ve added addition info, as well as an update. Please read them. TLDR: many others, and myself, are now seeing it’s fixed. Many others are not. It may be a roll-out fix from the back-end. Be patient and wait to see if it’ll make its way to you.

The selfishness and destructive jealousy of Cat Noir never stops surprising me. He literally spent the second half of the season four finale being passive aggressive and jealous that Ladybug brought in a new hero (Flairmidable).

The reason this is all so bad is because when Ladybug comes back to collect the miraculous from Adrien, when in reality she handed it the Felix, he immediately responds with, ”You gave it to Felix,” without missing a single beat.

I don’t believe that Ladybug is to blame for losing all the miraculous and I never will. Because the blame falls on Adrien’s shoulders. His spontaneous response to Ladybug’s inquiry proves that he knew Felix was the new dog hero the entire time and didn’t warn Ladybug that he may be dangerous. He instead spent the entire time being a dumbass and bitter that he wasn’t Ladybug’s sole support system.

Adrien stans: But how was he supposed to know that Felix would betray them! It’s not like he knew he’d be after the miraculous!

He definitely knew how cunning and dangerous Felix was. Need I bring up the episode Felix, where he witnessed his cousin trying to get into contact with Hawkmoth and wagering the Ladybug and Cat miraculous? Not to mention, Felix offered to dress up as Adrien to go on the trip with Lila in Adrien’s place. He should have been able to put two and two to together and realized that Ladybug gave the dog miraculous to Felix believing that it was Adrien, which wouldn’t that far of a stretch, seeing as Ladybug entrusted him with the snake miraculous (which failed in using it miserably in typical Adrien style) in Desperada.

And you can make the argument that he couldn’t devolve such information with Ladybug with out putting his own identity at risk, but at the very least, he could have told his worries to Ladybug and advise her to keep her eyes open and ready for anything. But he doesn’t do any of that.

The red flags were literally laid in front of him on a silver platter (like everything is) and he ignored them in the worst way possible. This is one of the many times where Cat Noir has failed to deliver or refused to either warn Ladybug of something crucial that may put her in danger or didn’t have the mental capacity or competence to piece together bright and shinny red flags being waved in his face to at least take initiative and investigate on his own. Let’s not forget that Ladybug is the one who has to pay the price for his stupid ass.

Examples include but are not limited to:

-Chat Blanc: He found out that Marinette was Ladybug and jumped at the opportunity to date her as a civilian to satisfy his obsession with love for her, not even bothering to tell his beloved “partner” that she was compromised, which Ladybug had to fix and gained bucket loads of trauma and the blame for the world being destroyed.

-Oni-chan: After witnessing that Lila had lied to him about her ankle after teaming up with an akuma to end Ladybug, he doesn’t tell his partner that a civilian had tried to get her murdered by a volatile monster and only chastised her lightly, as if that would stop a budding serial killer. And he suddenly loses his brain cells after Lila (a person who he knows is dangerous) targets Marinette, his response to to encourage Lila to continue lying to get Marinette back in school.

-The Collector: Adrien finds a book his father keeps in a safe with designs that look glaring like miraculous super heroes, yet he never questions why a supposedly normal civilain like his father would have a book on such topics, or broaches the subject with Ladybug. Again losing a crucial lead that could have led them to discovering who Hawkmoth was.

-New York Special: He failed to inform Ladybug that he was leaving Paris, going against her trust, and thus left Paris without any protection or the power for her to fix any damage that an akuma may cause in their absence.

-Kuro Neko: He left his ring on a random rooftop, completely unbothered by the fact that anyone could have found the ring (including Hawkmoth) and use it for their own gain. There was no guarantee that Ladybug would have found it in time.

So, not only have his childish and outright disgusting antics have led to countless people being hurt in and out of the mask, but his careless disregard for things that aren’t his feelings for Ladybug and his failure to warn his partner about a dangerous wild card that could’ve changed the outcome of what may be the most important battle in the series led to him being directly responsible for the loss of the miraculous.

And no, Ladybug doesn’t get any flack for giving Felix the miraculous because she was under the effects of an akuma, which clouded her judgement and sense of reason. Plus she was acting on information that she had, which was the fact that Adrien was scheduled to leave Paris and jumped at the opportunity to make a powerful ally in a clearly desperate battle. Like, this behavior has been a constant with his character for the entire show, but his awful personality is highlighted more during season four where he refuses to communicate his feelings to Ladybug and then acts out when she doesn’t comfort him.

But that clearly doesn’t matter, because he is rewarded for his irrational jealousy by finally being the only option for Ladybug to rely on. And then has the gall, has the acrimony to claim that he was on her side, nevermind the fact that he had been insensitive to her problems, expecting her to drop her very important guardian duties just to soothe his protagonist complex, and smashing property (the infamous chimney scene) and nearly murdering Ladybug’s stand in in Hack San and basically being a massive dick that he wasn’t in the center of Ladybug’s universe.

With his blatant hatred of sharing Ladybug with anyone, including the temporary heroes (who he knows are his friends. you can pry this fact from my cold dead hands), I would be less than shocked if he did this on purpose, and used Felix’s sly personality to do the dirty work for him, so he could swoop in and play the part of Ladybug’s savior.

In conclusion, Cat Noir is a liar and a traitor who is willing to stay silent and ignorant of the world around him while forcibly cultivating his own rose tinted version and simultaneously defending his feelings from anyone and anything he feels threatened by viciously. And as usual, Ladybug/Marinette and everyone else has to pay the price.

To anyone stating that Marinette has jealousy issues, you’re right. But Cat Noir and by extension Adrien crank up the jealousy meter to eleven. It’s to the point where his inability to put aside his own feelings and desires have led to consequences that have quite literally blown up in everyone’s face.

TL;DR I rewatched Risk and Strike back and realized that Ladybug was being unjustly blamed for something that wasn’t even her fault while Cat Noir was being praised for "always being by her side" and "pushing aside his feelings for her to comfort her even though he's had the short end of the stick". Frankly, I got sick of people usong the season four finale as anti-marinette fuel without all the facts. So I made this post to prove her innocence while criticizing (read: dragging through the mud and back) the real perpetrator of the disaster that is season four.
