This Color Palette Is Doing Something To Me

I think that another element enforced Ekko's decision to return to his world was that, while he clearly enjoyed his time with Powder, she wasn't his. We see it in that while she uses her genius to help Ekko and Heimerdinger develop the Z-drive, she doesn't do it because she has a passion for it, she does it because a loved one asked her to.

In her world, she already has it pretty good. Life is improving for Zaun, she has her family, she has her Ekko who she is content to act more as his assistant, developing the ideas he comes up with. She likes her little lot in life.

But our Ekko's Powder is Jinx, whose mind is awhirl with changing ideas and chaotic imagination. Who can come up with the bonkers idea of turning her hideout into a goddamn war balloon. Who puts her artistry into her weapons, making it more a part of herself.

That Powder was born of general peace and comfort and deserves the Ekko who shares that experience. But our Ekko, the Boy Savior, knows that despite their sordid history, he can relate more to Jinx than he ever could to Powder.

and as the saying goes keep your friends close and your enemies closerrrr

Happy 10th Anniversary Timebomb⌛️💣❤️ Always a dance with these two. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Jinx and Ekko. They’ve been through so much over the years🥰

My man 😔🤞

I also think Luka deserves better, but not in the context of "deserves better from Marinette". Deserves better for me is just send the boy off overseas, and stop making him be the "mediator" to the love square problems. Why the heck does HE have to deal with that? Even if he's nice enough not to see it as a problem, solve y'all on problems.

Why would people would ship Luka with a girl he hasn't even canonically met (Zoe) and look away from a genuinely good friends to lovers ship (Lukanette)?

An eye-rolling mixture of reasons:

1. The visual connections: the highlights, the crazy shoes, the torn pants (Zoe has a small rip in hers), et cetera.

2. Some multishippers (people who ship both love square and Lukanette) are quick to pawn Luka off on another girl so that love square can be their endgame while Luka is still with someone.

3. The above also goes for love square shippers who don't ship Lukanette. It's easy to say, "oh, see? Luka can't get with Marinette because... b-because he's with Zoe!"

4. Spite. Some people want to "teach Marinette a lesson" and have her be "too late" to go back to Luka so that she can go running to Adrien/Chat afterwards.

5. The """Luka Deserves Better""" crowd, often love square shippers disguising themselves as Luka supporters or spontaneously liking/supporting Luka as a way of discrediting Lukanette. Plus, Zoe's rich and blond and "perfect"; Marinette could never hope to compete.

6. The faux Lukanette shippers who immediately stop shipping it now that it's "over" and "not canon anymore" (so they then go onto ship Luka/Zoe instead which is also not canon ¬_¬).

No judging to people who find intrigue in shipping characters who haven't interacted before because maybe they want to play around with the idea just in general or anything. It's just that, when that's not the case, some people have really obvious motives, lol.

he would definitely help barbies fight the patriarchy

the mandatory annual luka (2023 edition) by yours truly

i hope i got the french part right

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows

For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground

I'm searching to behold the stories that are told

When my back was to the world that was smiling when I turned

Tell you you're the greatest

But once you turn, they hate us

Oh, the misery

Everybody wants to be my enemy

Spare the sympathy

Everybody wants to be my enemy

(Look out for yourself)

My enemy

(Look out for yourself)

But I'm ready

So, there has been some talk about how a show like the Acolyte can have a viewership rating of 11 million in a week and is considered a failure while a show like HBO’s the Penquin can have barely half of that and is proclaimed a success. As far as I know, the Acolyte has still been able to do quite well, even in the wake of its cancellation. The show has managed to hit some major top ten lists and is still up there on Disney+ list of most watched. Or, last I knew anyway, it’s possible that might have changed, as is inevitable. But, I have to ask myself, what is it exactly do streaming platforms want out of their audiences? This goes for Netflix and Amazon as well. As an audience member for the Acolyte, I watched the show, I geeked out over it on line and I did my best to contribute to its trending by using the appropriate hashtags. I know I wasn’t alone in all of that. Yet the show is cancelled anyway. Yet these platforms still want our attention. But how can platforms still expect our attention when, speaking for myself, I am more disinclined than ever to get invested in any new media, especially Star Wars. I have no plans the watch Skeleton Crew nor do I care for any future movies. If Acolyte had not been cancelled, I would have been willing to, at the very least, give any future projects a fair shake. That’s all I’m really trying to say. Everyone, have a good night.

Happy Valentine's day!

This is a gift for the lovely @mistyshadow707-blog

Hope you have a great day. Enjoy your gift 🫴

Short headcanon: In this au, Marinette's somewhat of a lil assassin, and she's been tasked to investigate what's been making such a fuss in the forest. Luka himself has been watching her for dayyyyysssss. He knows she's dangerous but something about that danger seems enticing to him. This is their first meet up. Marinette's too stunned to do anything else but look 🤭🤷🏾‍♀️

My shaylas 😭

Ekko saved her from falling and now all Jinx does is fall for him 😭
