Glimmer and Adora have so much chemistry together. They had a lot of build-up as a couple, and they have so many sweet moments together.

Yet the writers of Season 5 didn't let Glimmadora become canon.

C*tr*dora is an unhealthy ship.

Glim / Bow is rushed.

I’m wondering if they forgot about the “Everyone hates me, I have no friends, I’m useless line?" Why does Chloe not view Sabrina as a friend has been a massive question on my mind since that episode.

Now I'm suspecting it's because on some level, Chloe suspects that Sabrina would be better off without her, and that's why she said it. And Season 5 would imply she's right.

I disagree. I think it is because she is fully aware she was buying Sabrina's friendship. It's possible Sabrina sincerely wanted to be friends, but André taught Chloé that you buy people. Once you start down that path though you can never know if the friendship is sincere.

This is why later the friendship devolves into dehumanizing. The step after gifting is seeing what someone will put up with. The person always hopes the other will stay, but expects they won't. Over time they increase the pressure, trying to find the breakpoint because 'I'm unlovable, eventually they will see it and leave' turns into a self fulfilling prophecy.

The only thing S5 proved is that the writers had a checklist. Sabrina's break from Chloé was dross. It *could* have been done well, but they just didn't care to. They had 47 other things to cram in and a tight schedule.

There's a new wave of rooting for Adrienette breakup. I'm blocking ppl constantly. Will we ever see the end of this hostility? Some of the break-up truthers claim they just want more angst because canon Adrienette is boring, and 'that's just how the teens are'. I might be taking it to heart too much, but it's disgusting 😭 Adrienette April has just ended, and I enjoyed it so much, why do this fandom always have to spoil my mood? Sorry for coming to your inbox with my nonsense, but I don’t feel comfortable enough sharing it on my own blog.

Fandom still on its bullshit, I see. We spent how many seasons begging for something to happen with them and for them to get together, and now suddenly it's boring and they need to break up? 🤡🤡 You know what I find boring and exhausting? Constantly being strung along by couples in shows that can't figure out what the fuck they want? I actively stop rooting for couples that are on again off again bc it's toxic. "Oh but other shows-" are also toxic. My favorite fictional couples are couples that get together and stay together. They work through problems together and fight to be together. Love isn't inherently more "realistic" if the couple breaks up all the time. Why the hell would I want to root for people who leave the moment shit gets difficult? Why would I want to root for people who can't work through things together and problem solve? What incentive would I have to be happy they're together, knowing they're going to break up in 5 minutes? The reason I appreciated their development in s5 so much is because we saw them fight for each other and stick together against all odds. That's the crux of the show. "The power of love is always so strong" it's been the theme song the whole fucking time.

But honestly, I can't be too surprised. This fandom has hated Ladrien (aka the requited side) since they first looked at each other on screen. Why should canon Adrinette be any different? Some MC stans even turned on MC after Elation and claimed it was boring because it was requited. This fandom doesn't want the LS to be together, or to even like each other. They want to watch them continuously suffer and pine for each other. Adrinette being canon is full proof of that. Elation is full proof of that. Not to mention the casual misogyny associated with Marinette antis wanting her to be punished for everything, but that's a topic for another time.

Just keep blocking people and take comfort knowing you're beautiful and have correct opinions. 🥰 It's how I get by.

Miraculous Season 5 finale

Pretty sure THIS sums it up:

Austruc needs a swift kick in the ass for such a bullshit finisher!

#miraculous ladybug #s5 salt #ml s5 #miraculous s5 #we were all thinking it

[sidsinning]

I legitimately can't believe a show like MLB with MLs like Adrien and Luka let Ondine end up with Kim after he lightheartedly mentioned he did one of the worst things you could ever do to a girl and then said "Chloe’s the prettiest girl in the world and the funniest too" right in front of her

He didn't even do anything to earn her heart back he just apologized to Mari

Poor girl

If this scene is the Finale of PV!Ladybug...

…then we have a confirmation that in an universe where PV!Ladybug happened, Félix as Chat Noir was part of the final battle against Papillon.

Somehow, a 3 minute PV!Trailer delivers more than the actual Miraculous Ladybug show.

[nixthelapin]

So apparently the Miraculous writing team released commentary on the s5 finale, during which they explain that Chat Noir not being in the final battle was planned from the beginning. (All the way back in 2014/2015)

Like, they had to come up with a reason (they were struggling to figure out how to keep Adrien away instead of him, like, cataclysming the wall determined to help his Lady) for that specific outcome, rather than a good reason supporting the outcome.

And their big reason? Wanting to use the Bug Noire combination on Marinette. That’s it. They left out the second most important protagonist, one with personal connections to the villain… because they wanted a cool power up scene.

Just when I thought I couldn’t hate that outcome any more than I already did.

I really should be sleeping but I really think one of the reasons Adrien is so fond of the statue scene and why it led to the realization of his feelings for Mari is because in that scene she's basically doing what he does as Chat Noir to Ladybug.

As in she's speaking his love language.

And I don't mean cringe, I mean honestly saying how she feels, showing open and deep devotion for the other person, a willingness to be vulnerable and dramatic in pursue of passion and love.

It must have been so jarring for Adrien to see Mari act that way, because it really is something Chat would do. And while I do think he thought it was just her joking around, that playfulness is what Adrien adores! And remember in psycomedian how important comedy is for Adrien! And Mari, well she's like him!

That "cringe" that all the haters complain about is exactly what Adrien loves about Mari, because it's exactly how he would express his feelings! And, as we've seen in canon, it is what opens his eyes to her and to his own feelings.

Don't forget Mari has ALWAYS struggled with her feelings and never been clear about them. That's WHY the statue scene happened in the first place, because Adrien thought she hated him. And all he wanted was to know if she maybe, just maybe liked him back. At least as a friend.

What he got instead was something way more, and I really do think it's because once she did say her feelings, in that ridiculous over the top way of hers to a statue, he realized they were more similar than they'd previously though.

LISTEN TO THE BOY.

We're in unfortunate implication nation, baby

The Season 5 finale, with the help of episodes like Chat Blanc and Ephemeral, establishes that Adrien's emotions are to be seen as inconveniences or even seen as potentially dangerous in such a way that they need to be controlled by another person. This validates Gabriel's abuse of Adrien by suggesting that he was right all along to control Adrien, lest he goes out of control by being emotional and destroys the world or something along those lines.

By all logic, the Paris special doesn't portray a true morality swap situation, just a story about the same people with the same capacity for good who have gone down the wrong path, but can be brought back to the light. Everyone who is good in our world is good in theirs, and vice versa, as evidenced by the fact that the terrorist children are going to be redeemed but Chloe is still somehow still evil. Gabriel is among those who are considered good.

The above point is further driven in by the fact that Gabriel is akumatized (I forgot the word used in the special and I'm too lazy to look it up) into Guardian Angel in the special, a phrase commonly associated with caring and protective caretakers of any kind even though his son has become a magical terrorist despite his wonderful parenting, somehow.

Gabriel is akumatized into Guardian Angel by Marinette, and considering the revelations from the Season 5 finale, this works as foreshadowing for her siding with Gabriel and essentially continuing his work of controlling his son. Gabriel is named Guardian Angel by her, and in the narrative, this implies that she validates him as a parent, metaphorically now and literally later.

Considering the lack of morality swapping, her actions in the finale and the fact that Marinette is the writers' mouthpiece, this is the writers' way of informing us of the wonderful parenting abilities of Gabriel Agreste, reinforcing the idea that Mr. Monarch is not evil, just misunderstood.

In fact, the Paris Special has Claw Noir be a murderous villain who is willing to Cataclysm his opponents in a universe where Gabriel is a good father, leading to the conclusion that Gabriel's lack of abuse and control of his son has led him down this dark path. The implication being that he needs to be abused or else he'll become a villain.

And this is supported by the fact that Gabriel akumatizes Chat Noir into an angelic version of himself, complete with the angel wings and white costume and all, showing us that Adrien on his own is prone to becoming a volatile monster and needs Gabriel to keep him line and turn him into the angel he is today.

I hate it here.

Can we talk about how OOC Adora is in Season 5?

The Adora of Seasons 1-4 wouldn't forgive Catra that quickly and she wouldn't date her adoptive sister.

The fact Gabriel a child abuser, that took part in a murder(Shanghai special), almost murdered an entire family small children included(Senti bubbler), threatened to start World War 3 (new york) and has been terrorizing Paris for over a year not only gets hailed as a hero but gets his crimes buried by Ladybug meanwhile Chloe a child that has done far less than him not only gets treated like the devil incarnated but is sent off to live with her abuser as a 'just' punishment is quite frankly disturbing

I'm trying so, so hard to not be a little salty about recent ml episodes cause I really do truly enjoy the show, but there's still just the nitpick of how Thomas treats Chloe like she's the worst person on the show, but then excuses the behavior of Andre Bourgeois, a notable enabler of Chloe's behavior.

I keep thinking I'm over Chloe's murdered redemption arc. I know that ship has long since sailed, but then we have an episode centered around Zoe or a flashback to Marinette's past out of nowhere which kinds just rubs it in our faces that, yeah, Chloe is supposed to be the absolute worst. And it annoys me.

Chloe is a child. An actual child and Andre spoiled her constantly, giving in to all of her (utterly) ridiculous demands no matter how outlandish or terrible it was. He constantly abused his power as mayor of the city. And you want me to believe that he, as Chloe's parent, had no control over any of that? That he did it cause he's blinded by his love? That he's a sympathetic character who is abused by both his wife and his daughter? And that he's actually a "good guy" who can be a "good father" as long as he has a kid who isn't a piece of shit?

No. I refuse. I actively refuse. He should've long since disciplined Chloe, being her only present parent. He had every chance for 14 years to be a good parent and he wasn't. Part of being a parent is teaching right and wrong and he did not. He is the primary reason Chloe is the way she is, not just her mom.

It's just so dumb. Why is the worst person on the planet a 14 year old girl when there is a person around her who actively nurtured her personality? But then that same person is narratively supposed to be the victim? HES AN ADULT WHO HAD A RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE NEGLECTED, HE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.

The fact Gabriel apparently calls Chloe his favorite victim in Penalteam makes me want to scream for many different reasons.

Oh it is ALLLL kinds of abuse and molester coded.

But remember, he just WUVS his family SO MUCH. Let's give him a statue.

No offense but its really fucking rich that in the last season, Sabrina suddenly chooses to be mad that Chloe goes on a "losers are meant to be under me!" spiel- as if this hasn't been her daily dialogue for the whole time she's known her
