adrien: if i so much as touch marinette with one inch of my body i will surely lose every one of my scooter ride privileges and never again be considered a gentleman look she's already so nervous it must be scary driving i must sit as properly as possible it's fine it's not so bad my arms are almost long enough to hang onto the sides of my seat like this
marinette: if we hit one bump in the road i'm going to faceplant into the basket and adrien is going to fly into the sun seriously he isn't even holding onto anything why isn't he holding onto anything does he have that much faith in my driving or does he not want to hold onto me oh god was that a bump in the road just now i'm focusing i'm focusing i'm focusi
sometimes it's wild to watch an adrienette scene and emotionally reconcile "these guys are ladybug and chat noir!!?!!". but THIS? yeah. this is ladybug and chat noir
imagine being an in-universe adrien agreste stan in paris. holy fuck hes selling canned air!!! gotta FUCKING buy that!! go adrien!!! oh. oh he’s um. against the canned air now. he’s telling us to save the trees instead? YOOOO HES SELLING PLASTIC FANS TO BEAT THE HEAT!!! so true king it is hot outside!!!! um. uh. yeah he’s now on a hacked news network discouraging all plastic use. this is normal right
I like Miraculous going over this. Conflicts of interest like this, where the corporation you want to hold accountable has power over you and could get you fired if you step out of line... those can be a real bitch. Alya could probably report on this, but she doesn't have the reach that Nadja has.
I saw "Action", it was fine. Not an all-time great, but more of the show I enjoy, which is always nice. I know there are people who are like, "I stopped watching long ago only fanfic is good", but personally I'm nowhere near there yet.
But there's one thing about this episode that I think we as a fandom really need to talk about. The code that Max is writing…
That's all just Avengers fanfic in code form.
I mean, as code goes, this is completely meaningless, just code-looking symbols and words thrown more or less randomly together. And that's fine, for this purpose here. But then you freeze frame, and all the Avengers are there. I assume that tells us a lot about what kind of fanfic Max and Markov like to read and write.
adrien casually touching marinette’s hands and forearms is something that just gets me. so bad. it’s so tender and just for them and they haven’t even had their first proper kiss yet!!! but they can hold each other. comfort each other.
often times i suspend my disbelief for mlb but adrien teaching marinette a chinese phrase by pronouncing it wrong and her pronouncing it slightly more correctly despite mimicking him is too funny. also he teaches her a phrase i have never ever used in my entire life as a chinese person
...okay I know that part of the point of this special is "people are using too much plastic in too many things", but honestly making Markov with a biodegradable resin seems like a bad idea. Making Markov using ANYTHING that's likely to degrade seems bad, in fact.
