If we lived in the good timeline Nino would have canon parents and Adrien would have become an honorary lahiffe but instead he’s gonna keep on being marinette’s pet boyfriend
maybe i could crack open my rewrite doc again... make her sparkle...
someone's had to write a fic where adrien is told to wear his dead parents wedding rings and no one tells him of their importance so in an act of grief he does something like punch a mirror or flush them down the toilet and everyone has to deal with the fact that not informing adrien of his remote control autonomy has resulted in disastrous consequences right
im still thinking about the miraculous finale. i understand marinette not wanting to tell adrien his father was a terrorist because the mans dead, and honestly who wants to open all that baggage when you cant even confront the guy... yikes! like i promote honesty but i understand the perspective here. but someone has got to tell adrien hes a senti. it feels like keeping adriens medical history a secret. between marinette, felix, and kagami, someones got to break it to him. i know its a kids show and im overthinking this too hard, and also ive heard it said that sentis are actually just the same as humans, but that makes no sense to me... hes made of magic. like hes a little boy made of emotions and a dream. what if something comes up. what if adrien needs to know hes a senti because when he goes to the doctor, and he has some senti symptom going on like not having to blink or breathe or some other weird shit , the doc is like "sir you are the most abnormal human alive can we put you in a medical journal? can we study you?" what if adrien went in for surgery and he just had no organs or something i dont know... i just think he needs to know to be able to make informed decisions about this. also so he knows not to flush the rings that grant him free will and autonomy down the toilet but i mean thats secondary to me compared to the medical history stuff obviously.
okay not to say any of these aren't valid takes people can like what they like and make what they want it's just crazy to me this is what people focus on when they're writing reviews of miraculous ladybug. or they get mad because it's a baby kids show for babies which like okay get real. in my opinion the worst thing about miraculous ladybug is simply that its narrative is completely incoherent. it can't hold a theme to save its life so it picks 5000 and puts it in a blender. it's a baby kids show and gabriel vomits ash in the finale from internal-cataclysming but they can't handle adrien finding out his dad is like. bad. and child abuse is like. wrong. if you can't handle child abuse as a theme then do not make hawk gabriel agreste moth a FATHER!!! crazy work.
i hate miraculous ladybug but i disagree with everyone else who hates miraculous ladybug and that's my true real problem. no video essay does it for me because they're literally wrong (because my opinion is always right btw) and every salt blog is wrong. "adrien should be the main protagonist" wrong. "the biggest problem is marinette being a stalker" wrong bad faith argument not understanding the genre (though it is a valid criticism to be uncomfortable with it personally) "marinette is a mary sue" literally wrong. "adrien is a gary stu" wrong. "adrien sucks and this is why marinette should get with some random guy named robin." what the fuck are you talking about.
don't ever remind me of miraculous ladybug it's that serious to me. I treat the writing of ml like being in the damn navy.
WHY DID HE GET SUDDEN GOOD VIBES??? AT THE END OF THE EP???? WHEN DID HE SHOW THE CAPACITY TO FROLICK AMONGST THE COMMON FOLK??????????? NO MORE RANDOM REDEMPTION ARCS FOR OLD WHITE MEN MLB WHAT THE HECK
season 4 where instead of ladybug pushing chat noir out because of uh. er. well. shes reluctant to give him information because she's started noticing hints that he's a sentimonster and she's unsure if he's been replaced. meanwhile chat noir has no idea what's going on and why ladybug is starting to rely on other people -- after all... nothing has changed, right?
i do think the sentimonsters thing is absolutely intriguing but it doesn't seem planned at all and the fact that so many characters are sentimonsters makes it feel more contrived to me. also the fact there's no difference between people and sentimonsters. it would have been way more interesting if it had been hinted at since the beginning and became more of a hint over time to gabriels identity. like for example how fascinating would it be if chat noir had the typical "symptoms" of a sentimonster - whatever that may be - that he doesn't notice because he's lived with it forever but ladybug does through pattern recognition - and she has to figure out if this chat noir is HERS and always been a sentimonster or been replaced. and if he's always been a sentimonster, his identity itself is the clue to who hawkmoth is. it would also be a fascinating way to do a "chat noir villain arc" where gabriel finds out adrien is chat noir and instead of being a fucking dumbass and akumatizing him, he uses the ring to make chat noir a double agent and get the earrings from ladybug. ANYTHING but what they're doing. ANYTHING AT ALL!
i need to join a ml discord server because right now i force my friends to listen to me rant and they dont even like miraculous ladybug at all. but also i know im such a hater that i cant join any in fear of me being a total grinch and ruining peoples fun. but i also cant join hater servers because if i see any character bashing ill be the one with a bunch of grinches ruining MY fun. you see my dilemma.
