Thank you omg. I understand Adrien wanting to stay with her, but only because HE DOESN'T KNOW SHE WAS FUCKING MAYURA! And just because she's playing nice with the kid now, doesn't erase her standing by and doing fuck all to be there for him in the first four seasons.
Why does everybody love her so much? I feel like I'm going crazy here.
If we don't get Felix + Duusu and Argos + Chat Noir (pre- AND post- Argos knowing the other's identity) interactions in this coming season, I swear someone will pay.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Queer representation was always important, but in recent times with an increase in censorship and bigotry in the mainstream, it has become vital.
Please spread the word. Queer people deserve to have our stories told and we must fight this new wave of discrimination to ensure that we are represented.
i have had this in my head for longer than i would ever admit but never drew it because i knew it'd take up too many panels. but apparently i did it anyway
This episode is before sublimation, btw
But, still crazy they're putting a very ~villanous~ bgm over another "love rival"
This is what it feels like being a Felix fan in the Werepapas era btw. If you even care —
miraculous season 6 prediction:
adrien with felix is all buddy buddy and chat noir with argos he will fuck with him every chance he gets "haha loser nobody loves you except your mom" and agros is mad about it and vents to adrien about it (hes giggling)
Her wins are like "The boy I like asked me out! :)"
Her losses are like "I let my enemy rewrite the universe! Oopsie! :)"
remember seeing a post that said marinette was a girlfailure and just. no. she's just a failure (derogatory). her "wins" in the show are usually personal but her losses far outnumber all of that.

Yeah, like, “gilrfailure” is supposed to be the opposite of “girlboss”, a girl character that’s endearingly pathetic and pitiful. This is because it started off as a self-deprecating joke for women and girls online who didn’t see themselves as having the drive to become “girlbosses”. From there it snowballed into this idea of female characters that purposefully go against the girlboss mold to show femininity as more than just being a constant go-getter.
While Marinette is pathetic and pitiful, that’s only because the writers failed so utterly at making her a girlboss. There’s no deliberate subversion here. We are supposed to read Marinette as a girlboss, but she fumbles every single goal she had and the only reason she’s still around and kicking and dating the guy of her dreams is that the villain changed his mind about what to do when he won and the boy she was into changed his mind about who he was into and decided to pursue her instead. We aren’t supposed to laugh about Marinette getting the world destroyed and having Adrien just decide they’re dating one day; we’re actually supposed to view Marinette as winning here. The writers literally say so in the commentary for the season 5 finale.
I feel like the new “girlfailure” moniker being applied is either Maripologists trying to make every positive/quirky character trope apply to Marinette or them getting wise to the growing criticism of how much Marinette accidentally sucks at everything the writers insist she’s good at and are trying to turn that into a positive. It’s like “it’s okay Marinette isn’t the competent, intelligent hero we were told she is because failing is cute!”
Nah I'm just fucking tired all the time, so as soon as I go to sleep my brain is like "Finally!".
Late 20s; female; interests: video games, Marauders (NOT ATYD or related), Markiplier uhhh... and a few other things
