marinette’s voice appreciation post because i’ve never seen one on tumblr<3

chat noir and carapace bonding over decapitating gabriel’s statue and kicking it around like it’s football WHEN? 

im very sick right now and had a fever nap dream about this exact scenario earlier and it had to be done before i go to sleep again omg

The thing with the "Adrien deserves to know the truth" is that while yes it's true, to me it's also a lot of "Marinette deserves to be happy too"

Because sure right now Adrien is happy and that's great for him, I've seen people argue that he might never know and that it's probably better because he deserves to be happy and not traumatised. But him never knowing means Marinette has to hide it everyday and live with the knowledge that she's hiding something big to the person she trusts the most, unable to share everything with him. And that's not fair at all

In the long run, Adrien knowing would hurt his happiness less than him not knowing would hurt Marinette's. And if the show chooses to let Adrien blissfully unaware of Gabriel's crimes (which I doubt but you never know), I'm not okay with Marinette hurting, nor with their relationship never feeling quite as strong as we know it should be all because of Gabriel

After a number of aggravating technical delays, part eight is finally heeeere.

First | Prev | Next

Reminder again that the next part will have S4 finale spoilers! (And I guess technically S5 spoilers because I’m gonna use you-know-who’s new name? You’ve been warned.)

Constantine sees that Batman fathered Two half dead kids, one who is the Ghost King, one that's basically a Demonspawn who's Grandad uses magic mountain dew pools to stay fresh, and a reality warper that uses a yo-yo to said reality warp: Jesus Christ man, I thought that Himbo thing was an image. What's next? You having a child with Trigon who was in disguise or something?!

( Bruce internally thinks of Raven and remembers dating a pretty unusually tall platinum blonde woman named Teigan, over analyzes it essentially has a Blue Screen Of Death moment*

Also what's the League's reaction to all this, and would some hold this over his head?

MAGIC MOUNTAIN DEW!!!!

But your right! For someone who has a thing against magic he sure do have a lot of bio kids that do magical shit on the regular!

Also what a mood! Constantine coming to the watch tower for some thing and sees bruce giving his two newly acquired kids a tour and immediately has the urge to pound his head into the fucking wall.

And when batman blue screens Danny would take a picture because: “thats a really funny face your making dad, would be a shame if someone shared it with the rest of your children.”

Bruce: “dont-“

Danny: “too late! Bye!” And he proceeds to phase through the floor of the watchtower into space for a jaunty little adventure.

Once again, i will say im not a big fan of miraculous x dc x dp (specifically just Marinette being bruce’s kid) but Marinette—sensing the tension would use the space power up and follow Danny and go explore the outside while she FaceTimes Chat Noir on her yo-yo.

Just wait until Constantine meets the chaos tornado that is Danielle Phantom.

I'm so glad that you've translated Adrien and Griffe Noire conversation . Could you translate the conversation between Marinette and Toxinele as well?

Yes of course, I can't leave the girls in a corner!! Here you go, Anon 😊

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! If I were you, I wouldn't break the mirror! You'd risk 7 years of bad luck! Toxinelle: You think it would make a big difference? You know what, I don't have your peaceful little life. In the world I'm from, I don't have "super awesome friends who inspire me every day", or a "best friend I'd follow to the death", even less a "gentle and calm mum", or a "crush who doesn't think I'm a lame-o"! Ladybug: You read my secret diary... So you know we're the same, you and I. Toxinelle: Are you kidding? I'm the opposite of you. Everything I've known is nastiness from that horrible Chloé Bourgeois, who spent her time making me suffer until... the Supreme finally accepted to entrust me with a Miraculous, and nobody could harm me anymore. You see, we have nothing in common. Ladybug: You're wrong. Detransformation. --- Marinette: If you read my diary, then you know that everything isn't always easy, this life often hangs by a thread and... I was also very angry, I also suffered, I was also scared. And I still struggle every day with all that. You don't need magical jewelry. It's not the powers that changed my life! It's me, who changed my way of seeing myself; I'm the one who accepted to love myself, to love the world around me, and who decided that I could fix what was wrong. I'm sure that if you decide to change the way you look at yourself, at your world, you, too, can fix what's broken. Just like I fix my world each time. You have the power to fix everything. Toxinelle: I can't do that honeyed thing. Marinette: In a way, by doing it... I think you'll fix yourself, too. --- Toxinelle: Miraculous Toxinelle!

@TotallyNotChatNoir: i'm not a magical girl!!!! D:(

@Ladybug: Magical Girl™ is a gender neutral term, chat.

@Ladybug: your a Magical Girl.

*#Hawkmothisamagicalgirl is now #1 on trending*

i cant fully describe how polarizing adrienette is for me

Personally I will NEVER get behind Marinette not telling Chat SHIT.

Like..at first it made sense but it keeps fucking happening and she needs to learn the same lesson of maybe dont keep important info from your PARTNER cuz thats a shitty thing to do??

And ESPECIALLY if that info involves his damn father. You cant say you care about someone and then coddle them and think for them, thats a shit thing to do to assume you know how theyll react and then never give them a chance to do so?? It puts Marinette in a very silly light and she should know by now Chat hates being excluded from important info!! Its them against the world.

But no its HER that fights the main battle, its HER that decides to give Gabriel his stupid damn wish for??? What reason?? She decides to give him a second chance he doesnt deserve?? (Despite Chloe and Lila repeatedly being mentioned to not deserve a second chance, but nah, this terrorist grown man deserves a second chance cuz his ridiculous wife did something stupid) and SHE DOESNT TELL ADRIEN/CHAT WHO HIS FATHER WAS, DOESNT TELL HIM HES A SENTI?

Thats not a good choice!! Itd be cool if this is used as a character flaw and its used to point out that Marinette is wrong to even think this!! But knowing this show, itll give her a pat on the back for continuously not thinking about how Adrien ACTUALLY feels but how she THINKS he'll feel, and its just..not great, like literally..you love him but then?? Do this?? Girl cmon now.

This stupid plot point better be changed, retconned or something cus it makes Marinette seem..dumb, impractical and selfish.

Like its easier to not tell your boyfriend his father was an abusive terrorist?? Easier to let the world know this asshole as a hero?? Give him a second chance after hes traumatized and injured and killed countless people every time hes akumatized people, after hes neglected his son and controlled him?? Really now?

Who thought this was a GOOD ending??

I waited 8 YEARS for the FINALE of Miraculous Ladybug, and I got that?!?!!! What the actual fuck--

⚠️Spoiler Warning⚠️

Tis a horror show, an absolute shit-show, like I was expecting some epic showdown and I got a mediocre battle at best.

Don't even get me started on the last minute redemption arc for Gabriel, like my man didn't deserve to be redeemed. The AMOUNT OF TIMES he tried to KILL literal teenagers, including his nephew and son-- he did not deserve to be remembered as a hero. He was a villain, and he should have died as one.

And- AND there wasn't a reveal?!?!?????

8 years and still no reveal (that is in a timeline that didn't get erased or memory wiped). Like they're together, but still not?? The hell?? I am dissatisfied, disappointed and absolutely destroyed that they decided to end it that way. Like wtf?!

Honestly the one character on Miraculous that won't ever be redeemed for me (villains aside) is Fu. Like I'm sorry but his purposful exclusion of Chat weakened Chat and Ladybug as a team to the point that even after becoming the Guardian, despite having a dependable partner, Ladybug feels the need to shoulder all her burdens alone.

I want Marinette to have a grounding significant moment where she realizes and vocalizes that Fu was WRONG to seperate her and Chat the way he did. He was wrong to single her out for more responsibility yet maintain she and Chat were equal using words but not in actions. I want her to come to grips with the fact that he is the most at fault for her struggles and Chat's struggles too.

Here's the thing: when you have a kids show and want to teach them good lessons, when said kids show wants to depict partnership and team work, you have to show what it truly means. Ladybug and Chat Noir, Marinette and Adrien, they're not just depicted as friends and teammates but romantic interests as well. And for all three of those categories it is SO. IMPORTANT. to realize that you are not alone. The other person is there to help you. That you need to willingly give up some independence to become one part of a larger whole. That is what real partnership is. That's what is necessary.

When you have an alleged all-knowing wise character like Fu showing otherwise, saying that one person (the girl especially in this case) is meant to shoulder her burden alone and not share what she must with Her Person (because that's what Chat is) you're teaching them to internalize independence above all. In a partnership, its important to forgo some of that independence willingly so you can allow the other person in. It goes both ways. They fill in your cracks and help you when you need it because you trust them to.

Fu isolating Marinette and Adrien, having one keep secrets and the other confined to his own, its basically the worst possible message you can send about partnership to young girls. Its a negative side effect to white feminism in fact. To believe that you need to be self-reliant at all times in order to be considered strong. Women and young girls need to learn that dependency on another person, on a man, is not a bad thing when you have a reliable partner. And given Astruc's views on feminism I'm not surprised this is the message he's been sending for the past 5 seasons at this point.

I only just began to tune back in for Season 5 but I realized the reason I left can be blamed entirely on Fu being a detriment to the entire story and it's ripple effect to the larger plot.

That being said, i HOPE the direction the show is going in now is that partnership means to work together and not alone. You can argue that Chat and Ladybug already work together. But the thing is they still have important secrets from each other. They trust each other but are being held back. When you're in a real partnership, you share the ugly difficult parts too and then where needed, Your Person steps in to help. Adrien needs to do that for Marinette and Marinette needs to do that for Adrien and that can only ever happen if Fu's methods are openly opposed by the show as Wrong and Detrimental to the heroes and their teamwork.

Marinette and Adrien are getting closer in S5. The sides of the love square are slowly moving towards merging but atp that isn't enough for me. I need the show to openly have Marinette realizing Fu did her dirty (whether he knew better or not is irrelevant) and that she needs to define her partnership and her guardianship by her own rules. The show has spent so long enforcing seperation as a plot point that is necessary that it needs to just as strongly and directly oppose it as the solution to the conflicts occurring to have any real value.

Felix, unable to snap Marinette into existence: Let me walk you through a hypothetical. Can I walk you through a hypothetical?

Adrien: What did you do?

My Primary Derision Thoughts (as I live reacted):

?? Marinette backstory!!!!

surprise the backstory was (more) trauma.

Socqueline is the original real one, clearly. Alya and her should hang out.

omg I love how Marinette's big realization is that it's all Chloe's fault?? I mean, it's a little Kim's fault too but that's something!

!!! Chat Noir is just! beating him up - no superpowers just violence!! Kim messed with his person and he is very angry!!

Marinette and Adrien are telling each other their emotions! communication!!!!

I hope one day someone will love Marinette just like YouTube alone hates Marinette. And this is not even the half of it. I could barely fit all these vids AND I WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THE COMMENTS OH MY GOD! Literally combine ALL ML characters' salt and you won't get enough salt to cover up Marinette's. When I said that if the amount of Marinette love was as big as the amount of Marinette hate we would've achieved world peace this is what I meant.

But you know what? I could let these vids make me hate her, but I just...don't. I love her, my reasons are bigger than theirs. And those vids are all the same. It's like watching the same one a few times in a row. Rip to YT but I'm different.
