Carrie Becoming Alex's Gay Icon And Him Dancing On Stage With Her Is Truly Unmatched.... She Walked Through

ahem

i miss girl meets world

thank you for attending my tedtalk

"how are you doing?" my emotional dependency on a kids show gets stronger with every passing day

alya: (doing an interview) do you have anything left to say to your fans

chat noir: yeah

chat noir: gabriel agreste is a little bitch

Are there Adrien Salt takes that you agree with?

I mean, the thing about salt that I inherently disagree with is how it often equates "a character making a mistake / doing something 'bad' " to "a bad character / poor writing / a bad person".

Like, I could sit here and list out all the mistakes that Adrien has made, but that doesn't mean I agree with the salt interpretation of those mistakes. I kind of equate "[character] salt" in the fandom at this point with "bad faith criticism of the character", and no, I don't have any 'bad faith' criticisms of Adrien.

I think at the end of the day, Adrien and Marinette are both flawed characters who have done things I disagree with, but those flaws and decisions are what make them compelling characters. And even when I don't agree with their choices, I always understand why they made them (and it's almost always either some kind of trauma response or a misguided attempt to do good), and that's why I love them.

They're just kids, they're genuinely trying their best, and they're going to make some interesting mistakes along the way. I don't personally see any point in fixating on those mistakes. That's just not how I enjoy the show.

( also, please no one add salt to this post. just wanted to answer the question and honestly I'd prefer to stay sodium-free. make your own post if you must. )

Lila’s threat

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown

I will never stop thinking about how Zoe has a crush on Marinette but she’s also supposed to be Chloe’s replacement.

I don’t think this just meant as the bee holder. I think this meant for a lot of things.

Being Andre’s new daughter, being the star for that movie.

The only thing Zoe hasn’t completely replaced Chloe in is being Adrien’s childhood bf.

So….with all of this being said…

DOES THIS IMPLY THAT CHLOE ACTUALLY MIGHT HAVE HAD A CRUSH ON MARINETTE AND IF CHLOE GOT HER REDEMPTION, WE COULD HAVE SEEN A CONFESSION FROM HER??? I-

This means that Thomas knew about the popular headcanon that Chloe was sapphic and was secretly in love with Marinette/Ladybug. HE TOOK THAT ISH AWAY FROM CHLOE AND GAVE IT TO ZOE-

ship so good they had to cancel the fucking show

thinkin about my two hundred different embarrassing and completely self-indulgent daydream universes that i’ve actually taken time out of my day to create content for and have never shared with anyone bc they’re that embarrassing but not being able to stop bc they’re one of the few things that bring me genuine joy 

Carrie Wilson’s character redemption arc

let me rant. Carrie had/has a bad relationship with her mom, and that definitely had an impact between her feud with Julie; her being raised by a famous father definitely affected her in some (many) ways and gave her this pressure and obligation to be a performer, be the lead singer in her band, be successful and have ‘all eyes on her’; her relationship with Nick was actually comforting to her even thought she was always mean to him, because she doesn’t have friends besides the girls of Dirty Candy (which actually may seem not too close with her, since the only person we see Carrie hanging out with out of the band and school is Nick) and now that she’s broken up with him (probably for the 13th time but this time is more serious since Nick chased after Julie) she’s definitely more sad because now she really has no one else; she DESPERATELY wants to be friends again with Julie and Flynn (and I really love this theory the fandom created of her and Flynn having some past or future story out there) but now she sees it even more far and complicated since the arrival of this ‘hologram band’ and it just saddens her even more; LISTEN TO ME IN THIS ONE OKAY i believe she even wrote “All Eyes On Me” as a cry for help, just look at the lyrics from that perspective it’s actually terrifying (i know this sounds too deep and dramatic lol, please forgive me i’m just so invested in this type of characters i can’t help it); she has dealt with her father’s emotional trauma HER WHOLE LIFE i mean C’MON !! (not blaming Bobby, i believe he’s also a good person); and last but not least, it is really tough to see her past best friend performing with a band that makes her HAPPY. she sees Julie so happy and shinning and having all these support —from friends and parents— she just can’t help but feel sad not only because she wished that was her case, but more mad to herself because she knows she wasn’t there for Julie when she needed it and now she can’t show her support because they’re friendship’s supposed to be over.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.
