Jim scoffed, grabbing his sword tightly, trying to stop the trembling of his hands and his lips. "You liar" he didn't look at Strickler when he said those words "You- you dare to say that while you are attacking me?"
"I wouldn't have to fight you if you-"
"If I what? If I let you talk? If I wanted to hear what you have to say?" his eyes filled with tears but he tried to hold them back "There would be nothing you could say to avoid this. No words could fix this"
"What do you mean?" Strickler seemed confused.
"I trusted you, Strickler. I thought- I thought you cared about me" he frowned, feeling a tear slide down his cheeks.
"I do" he stopped holding his knives "I do care about you, Young Atlas"
"Do you?" he closed his eyes "You say you care about me. You say you are trying to protect me. See what you're doing right now and tell me if this is protection. If this means you care about me" he lowered the sword "Strickler, you- you were my-" he couldn't say the word father. It was too painful to say.
"Jim-"
"It's funny" he laughed, but it wasn't a happy laugh "I thought I was important to you but- Guess I always saw something that wasn't really there" Jim used his sleeves to wipe away the tears and looked at Strickler again "Okey, let's end this right now, Mr. Strickler"
"Jim- I don't want-"
"You don't want?" Jim said in a broken voice "I didn't want you to betray me, to hurt me, but you did. You didn't care. So why should I?"
In that moment-
-Strickler knew.
When he heard Jim's voice, broken, and saw the pain in his eyes, he realized everything he did was a mistake.
When I watched Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie I liked everything about it, but there is something I loved. The song "Courage in Me", in both English and Spanish version (in English it was sung by Lou and in Spanish it was sung by Laura Pastor) was awesome. And just when I thought I couldn't like it more, Cristina Vee made a cover. I just gotta say: congratulations, Cristina Vee, you made me like the song even more than I did before.
I'm gonna say it: Miraculous Ladybug is one of the most toxic fandoms related to the ships and that's a fact. Don't try to tell me I'm wrong.
I saw a lot of pins in Pinterest of Adrigami, Lukadrien, Kagaminette and more ships with comments like "Wtf is this?", "Disgusting", "The only good ship in MLB is Adrinette", "Marinette only deserves to end with Adrien".
Are. You. Serious?
People can ship whatever they want, and if someone ships Lilanette, Chloรฉnette, Alyanette, Ninonette or another ship it's up to them. You don't have to say they're mentally ill for not shipping Adrinette. Just because a ship is canon doesn't mean everyone has to like it. And if you don't like Lilanette, Chloรฉnette, Alyanette or any ship involving Marinette and a classmate of her, just ignore it. Don't watch posts of that ship or read fics just to say you hate it. Because if you do that, don't complain when people decide to do the same with Adrinette.
