The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

Always fucking breaks me T^T
And he says it so flatly too, like “Why are we even doing this? Why are you making us go through all this hell? Is it even worth it?”
He’s so tired and worn out. If the Tower is us giving up on Hero—our agency—then The Moment of Clarity is us wearing him so thin that there’s simply no more choices to make anymore.
Wait, actually–
This might just literally be Hero blocking our choices. After all–

This could be a stretch, and I am putting my clown makeup on (hesitantly though)
So during the ladynoir scene in Exaltation, where Ladybug said that it’s clear Chat Noir doesn’t have feelings for her anymore, to which he replied that it’s not exactly that, he still loves her, but as a friend now.
But what if that’s all a lie?
I know that scene has one of the prettiest colour schemes within the whole episode itself, the red and black contrast with the orangey light from the fire that was caused by Glaciator himself.
And Chat Noir has half his face in the shadows, while the other is brightly lit
compare that to Ladybug’s
where the left side of her face is lit up in the orange light too just like his, but her right side isn’t concealed at all.
I don’t know about you, but while watching this scene, my eyes were guided specifically to the half of chat noir’s face that’s brightly lit (which bravo, I’m sure that’s the goal of this scene).
But more importantly, I can’t help but think that having half his face hidden within the shadow, he’s hiding something, he’s not being true to himself. In dark places, we cannot really see what’s going on, and for this effect to appear on Chat Noir’s face, I believe he’s hiding something from Ladybug, from us the audience, he has something that he isn’t willing to share. Specifically, he’s hiding/concealing the fact that he still loves her romantically.
And note that they squat at the same place throughout, from their talk to the point where Ladybug summons her Lucky Charm, and look at the difference in lighting on Chat Noir’s face after Ladybug told him that he’s going to need to trust her on this
The shadow is gone, there is nothing to hide, because it’s “like always.” Chat Noir wholeheartedly trusts Ladybug, that part is never going to change, it’s the same in the past, it’s the same now, and it’ll be in the future.
No matter what might have changed within their dynamic from here on.

undoubtedly the funniest thing about all of this has been watching billy harris’s instagram follower count steadily climb over the past few days as all the casuals learn his character’s name for the first time
