i still wake up with things to tell you. and in another universe, we have done everything correctly. but i am not in another universe, and i am drowning in my grief and regret. but somehow, i am still standing. because i am not drowning, no matter how badly it feels like my lungs are heavy with water. i am only holding my breath. and one of these days, i will remember how to let it out, and take another breath in, until i have breathed all of my watery pain away. and i will be okay again without you.

So I had a different post up about the miraculous movie and how it wasn't perfect but - as someone who liked the series back when it was just Ladybug and Chat Noir against the world, and sorta naturally dropped it when the show started to introduce more heroes just bc it wasn't my thing - it felt nice and it gave me closure.
I was just gonna rewrite it in a way I liked better, but Jesus, whatever minor desire to pick the show back up again was very quickly snuffed out by how negative the a browse through the fandom tags felt. It's like people who like the movie are rubbing it in with a sort of arrogance, and the people who don't are almost gatekeepy with how "it's not the show" and how inferior it is bc of that. And I feel like wanting to talk about that instead.
Like. There are actual criticisms and praise going around but it gets lost in a sea of salt. It's kinda scary.
Personally, I liked it. It had some very cheesy lines, a couple scene transitions could have been better, What Have They Done To My Son, Plagg, and Adrienette's dynamic would have benefitted from a couple extra scenes (just a few tweaks showing him a little embarrassed or staring a little longer than usual in the Baddie Of The Day Montage(tm) would fix it, since I think they do a decent job of setting Marinette as special to Adrien given she's the only person we see him open up to about his mom, when we know he and Nino are friends and Nino already stated to always be there for him), to make the turning the ball invitation down + reveal hit harder, but overall it was fun. It was different.
What I truly cannot understand how this isn't Miraculous or how it doesn't really have a story. Sure, it's not The Series but in movie format, including the characterizations (they ARE different characters), but?? I feel like the core of who they are, or who they were back when the show began, still remains. Marinette still struggles with self confidence (which is in line with her season 1 self), and I particularly love how you can see how she HAS that spice bubbling underneath the surface, she just needed a push to embrace it and grow more confident (very Origins of her). Adrien is still closed off and quiet, and I love the implication that it was each other that gave them the push they needed to open up and be stronger and more social. I love how it was still Adrien's kindness that made Marinette fall for him, and Ladybug's bravery and selflessness that caught Chat Noir's eye.
Marinette is still clumsy and a little over excited, which we see in the first music, it just has a sense of WONDER to it instead of a frazzled energy like in the show, lol, poor baby. Adrien is still flirty and punny, he's still closed off, except show Adrien is trying to put up a brave face about it and trying to move on, and movie Adrien has lived with grief for longer and developed different coping mechanisms in regards to it. They're both very interesting in their own right, and I think the timing of Emilie's loss really explains the changes in him- movie Adrien is just past the meek attempts to be happy that show Adrien is still trying to do. He lost his mom and lived with an absent father for much longer than his show counterpart and it SHOWS. It's a different flavor of Adrien, but I think it's a neat choice, to have LB be the reason why he chose to open up. Show Adrien was interesting bc he chose to stand up to his dad in order to go to school, but he still felt alienated from his peers. The movie just makes that separation clearer but lets Adrien grow and hang out with his friends* and create actual bonds with them thanks to having first created a bond with Ladybug. It's a cool take on it.
I also really like what they did with Hawkmoth, though I don't think I can compare it to the show bc back when I watched it Gabriel was more or less just the absent father, mustache twirling villain that he was. This is where that * is inserted, I think the biggest change is that show Gabriel was more controlling of his son's life, and more demanding. Movie Gabriel straight up "lets" Adrien go missing for a whole night and only tries to talk to him the day after. He doesn't seem to mind Adrien spending time with his friends. He doesn't micromanage his son, though we still see hints of that control in how he talks about his designs, so its there, just a little hidden, that pride and arrogance. Again, it's a different flavor of Gabriel, but it works within the characterization of the movie and what they wanted for his character. Reminds me a bit of the Gabriel that wasn't willing to hurt Adrien (which apparently is an early series thing only, rip lmao) but was willing to go all out on Ladybug and Chat Noir.
So... yea. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the fandom and the show. Maybe it's because the characters have grown in ways I simply don't know bc I lost interest, and the modern MLB fandom understandably attaches those changes to the characters and wants to see it represented, which is valid. But tbh? I still love early MLB - not bc the "writing was better" or bc of Astruc v Zag shenanigans (are those still going? oh the war flashbacks) - just bc I vibed with the concept more. I love the show versions of these characters. And I think the movie is a different spin on them, but I think it does them justice. It has flaws, but the show also did, and I loved it anyway.
Speaking of just what I watched back then... I still think nothing in the movie tops the Umbrella Scene(tm), but I love that Ladynoir got a cute equivalent in the sparring one. I love the banter in both. I love the Adrienette moments in the show and I love how the movie expands on the inconditional trust between Chat and Ladybug, on how they're partners and always there for each other. I love Tikki in both. Show Plagg is my baby. I love what they did with Hawkmoth in both (movie and s1/some of s2). Master Fu as a cooky old man is hilarious. The cringe somehow got cringier in the movie. I think it's funny that movie Adrien gets to have his own "oh my god the second hand embarrassment, I want to cry" to balance out show Marinette lol. I love Chat still simping for LB and I love the cute little romance scenes, shipping fodder moments were always one of the strengths of the show, and we have it here in spades, so good for me.
It's just... as I said, it's different, but to me it's a love letter to the MLB that captivated me for years. It does its own thing, but I think I'm just gonna make a few tweaks in my head, mash Origins with the first half of the movie, then watch season 1 and a few select season 2 episodes, then go back to the movie to finish it up. I actually think that they complement each other quite well, even with the characterization changes, because, for example, the early seasons compensate for the movie's lack of Adrienette, while the show expands on the ladynoir side. If you use both, then the movie manages to effectively reverse the love square, allow Mari to grow past her awkward self, deal with the bits of insecurity in her that we still see sprinkled across the series, allow Adrien to stand up to and face his father, and give me a satisfying conclusion to the Hawkmoth plot and a cute little reveal.
I could go on over more talked about topics like the music (its fine. Christina inserts a certain breathlesness to Marinette that you feel Lou is trying to capture but she just can't. I got used to it tho, and Lou's voice is lovely) or the animation (gorgeous), like I did in the original version of this post, but to me what mattered most was the... For lack of a better word, the vibe of the movie. To me, it felt like a little time capsule bc it really embodies everything the fandom liked about the show during season 1 and its hiatus. I can't give it an objective score bc I think my 8.5/10 feels very biased, but I loved the nostalgia trip. I loved getting that closure. I'm still gonna go off and enjoy parts of both the show and the movie, because something something stronger together might just apply to them as well :)

I am content this morning before work. Around 5 this morning, I decided to lay back down to get more sleep (plus ti get warm because it's fooking cold). My dear baby Gizmo (my cat) crawled up onto the pillow I was laying on, got comfortable next to my head, and took a nap with me. I opened my eyes to have him cuddled up to my face. I love it when he does it. It makes my day when he shows that he really does love me. Just thought I would share an adorable moment this morning with my baby. Hope you all have a fantastic day. Love y'all. 😘🫂💖😺

a bunch of gifts for boyfriends n friends!!! if u were wondering why i haven’t been posting much, it’s bc i’ve been struggling w/ working consistently on art as i toe the line of art block, and i STILL have gifts i haven’t finished. OUGH.
anyway. hi. gifts in order are for: @dilfgmancoolatta @crowbarcollector @sanddall-asy @asthecrowrambles Image IDs under the cut!
[First image: a short comic of Gordon and Benrey. In the first panel, Gordon is looking up at Benrey, both their faces a bit flushed. Gordon says, “This is just painful.” In the second panel, Benrey looks concerned, making a confused, “Whuh?” In the third, Gordon raises his hand, cupping Benrey’s cheek and making him blush deeper. In the fourth, Gordon is grinning up at them, saying, “I’m gonna kiss you now. Bend down a little for me?” To which Benrey quickly answers, “Sounds good.” In the last panel, the two of them are kissing, softly smiling against each other’s lips.
Second image: Marvin and Dart are cuddled on a couch in a cozy cabin while snow falls outside. They’re both sharing a blanket, holding cups of hot chocolate while Marvin talks and Dart listens.
Third image: Kasim is sitting on the floor, surrounded by dozens of records as one turns on a record player. A sleeve is sitting open in his hands, his face turned up and smiling.
Fourth image: Peter, Ellen, and Jack are taking a picture together in front of a shop’s lights. Peter is grinning at the camera, Ellen is shyly smiling at Peter, and Jack is flashing the camera a peace sign, winking with his tongue sticking out. /End ID.]

when i said, "i will never stop loving you", that isn't quite what i meant.
i meant i will never stop caring for you.
i will never stop being in your corner if it truly comes down to it.
i will never stop defending your name.
but i will not always love you.
you will not always hold that power over me.

Midnight Slumber
the lights are off
it’s dark in this house
but it still feels warm
from the evenings bouts
the dogs are asleep
laying on the couches
their snores are what
we are accustomed
and there’s music playing
ever so softly
it’s rather calming
it makes me feel whole
i lay on the loveseat
curled up into a ball
appreciating this peace
that is so rarely found
we all fall asleep eventually
to the sounds of
the unknown
and the pitter patter
of the cats paws
on the wooden floor
oh what a life
to find happiness
in the dark
to feel content
with where you are
Tumblr media
Fenrir in his midnight slumbers

ok but I'm so happy with how s4 handled Rayla and Callum. I was incredibly on board with their dynamic... until the final episode of s3. S3 in general could have done with being split in two, but I always thought that a relationship that had been super slow burn/subtle suddenly jumped to an "I love you" in a matter of what, a couple of days from their first kiss? idk, it almost put me off them.
But this. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I really, really want a multi-season getting back together slowly thing. Getting to know each other -- Rayla's been gone for 2 years and it shows that all of the dragon gang are different now. And doing this with a dynamic in which its established they still care deeply for each other instead of a classic will-they-won't-they is so refreshing to see. Just, letting them take it slow, build that trust back, get to know each other again, as I said. Good content.
