About Evil teenagers antagonists in Miraculous

I currently wonder how can some fans still want a redemption for somoene like Chloé who willingly hurt people just because that's was her definition of "fun".

Why not accept Chloé as somoene evil ? Just because she's 14 years old ? Just because Gabriel was worst than her doesn't take away the fact that Chloé is a truly bad person who has the potential to become as evil, if not worse than Gabriel while growing up.

Even in real life, adults are not the only ones who are capable of cruelty and crimes. If only adults were capable of monstrosity, I wouldn't have 14-year-olds killing each other with callache nikoffs in the drug trafficking districts of my city. we wouldn't have young people beating up little ones and pushing others to suicide and absolutely not regretting their actions. And we wouldn't have stories to raise eyebrows about kids capable of committing murder and acts of torture without necessarily having been abused in their lives.

To me, anyone who loves to make others suffer for their own sick pleasure (and their victims are people who objectively don't deserve such cruelty) has serious mental issues and can be a danger to others.

Both Chloé and Lila love to make others people suffer or don't care about hurting innocents, and they certainly don't feel any empathy for anyone, or in Chloé's case, no longer feel any empathy (she may have felt sympathy and empathy for Adrien at some point, like during the episode Felix in season 3, but that's definitly no longer the case as soon as Adrien asked her to stop being a biatch). Maybe Lila may feel a form of attachment toward her mothers, yet that doesn't stop her from manipulating them and fooling them in a way that's pretty cruel if you dig deeper in Lila's scale of truancy and imposterization.

I know that technically when a 14 year old kid behaves like Lila and Chloé we could say to ourselves that it is unfair to give them no chance and to condemn them when they are only 14-15 years old and could change for the better if they could be guided on the right path.

But Miraculouse is a show in which the superheroes with the fate of the world in their hands are 14 year old kids. And as such in this fictitious reality, other 14 year olds are perfectly likely to become real cruel and threatening villains i without any scruples, especialy if they are influenced by the wickedness of an adult supervillain.

And I believe that Gabriel's evilness only made Chloé's and Lila's wickedness worse.

He put those two girls in positions of power where they could hurt others and act according to their darkest and Manichean impulses. And Lila and Chloé would only want more taste of that power to crush others. And you know how power easilly corrupt the most greedy hearts.

On several occasions, Gabriel even approved of Lila and Chloe's horrible plans and actions. He has encouraged Lila on numerous occasions to "get rid of" Marinette, thus giving the impression that he supports Lila's jealousy, and during collusion he will have the nerve to say that Chloé's ideas, which consist literally ruining the academic future of your classmates and putting your pregnant teacher in jail for no good reason are good ideas. Having a rich adult in a position to approve of their actions in this way will only have given Lila and Chloe the feeling that their acts of cruelty and malice are justified, and thus reinforced their evil nature.

On several occasions we have seen Chloe and Lila voluntarily let themselves be akumatized, and worse than that, we have seen them plan to be akumatized (Chloe in Penalteam, and Lila in Revelation) and not for understandable reasons like that of a desperate Jalil brainwashed by lies on social media. Because Lila and Chloe have only ever been motivated by their narcicism, their ego, and their desire to get revenge on people they hate for the most pettiest, vain and selfish reasons possible.

Lila and Chloé may be kids, but they are evil teenagers, because they would gladly become supervillain if that means getting what they want. And what they want is anything but noble. For their selfish goals, Lila and Chloé were willing to endanger the city they live in and all its inhabitants. I don't even know if I can still call Lila and Chloé kids or teenagers, with how far they're willing to go and hurt people for the sake of their ambitions.

Although there's still the possibility that Lila may be an adult with a youngfull appearance or a hormonal abnormality making her look like a teenager when she could be an adult. But that would risk making her a pedophile so I don't think the show will go that far ^^ At most they could give her the same as Théo Barbot

But an antagonist adult would be needed then to balance an antagonist teenager supervillain.

Good thing we still have Tomoe Tsurugi then

It's tragic that Chloé and Lila wickedness and evilness could be due to serious mental issues or Chloé's bad upbringing, and the show may have decided that it's more important to protect others from the harm Chloé and Lila can cause rather than to prioritize "helping" them with their issues. Both Marinette and Adrien proposed another path for Chloé to chose, one that could have helped her heal from the emotional and mental wounds her mother's abandonment and neglect. Chloé instead chose Hawkmoth's/Monarch

Ladybug offered Lila her friendship, and Adrien also offered Lila to be there for her as long as she didn't hurt those he loved. Yet both Lila and Chloe voluntarily chose to continue committing bad deeds and hurting others, regardless of the fact that someone reached out to them and offered them another path to get love, acknowledgement and recognition from people. Adrien and Marinette don't have to sacrifice their mental health for people who wish them harm, so I understand very well that it wasn't and won't be their priority to help Chloé and Lila find potential redemption. And especially when Lila and Chloe seem determined to refuse to change and continue to cling to their wickedness.

It should be the adults responsabilities to deal with Chloé and Lila issues, and unfortunatelly the adults in Miraculous are pretty lousy and incompetents. It's very tragic when we don't know that one kid is a psychopath, and if another has always gotten away with his narcissistic behavior disorder and nothing had ever been done to help them deal with that issue, that only leaves the opportunity for the seed of evil in these kids to germinate and flourish, and then reach the level of nastiness that is more often found in adults.

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous thoughs #chloé bourgeois #lila rossi #gabriel agreste #tomoe tsurugi #This show seems to like evil teenagers antagonists in Miraculous #and the fact that the influence of an evil adult antagonist only facilitates their premature fall towards the path of evil #We had Garbage Agreste giving Chloé and Lila opportunities to be villains and supervillains who would antagonize and oppose the heroes #then in season 6 we may have Tomoe Tsurugi becoming one of chrysalis's ally #That sure would be better than the whole miraculous team having a lot of trouble against just one villain teenager

9 Lukadrien

9. Which one swears more?

Naturally, at the beginning of their relationship, Luka would be the one to swear more. He was raised by what is basically a pirate while Adrien was raised by… Actually, he was barely raised at all.

Over time, Luka, who is always eager to make others as comfortable as possible, would drastically limit his use of swear words and keep them almost exclusively for his songs.

Meanwhile Adrien, who was originally petrified at the mere idea of using swear words, is reconnecting with Certified Bad Influence ™ Felix “You can do whatever the fuck you want forever” Graham de Vanily (phew what a long name!) and ends up just. Letting one slip out one day. Which sends him panicking and not talking to anyone for three days because he’s scared it’ll happen again, prompting Plagg to repeatedly hit his two remaining braincells together until there’s finally a spark - after which Adrien starts swearing with child-like enthusiasm all the damn time, with and without the mask.

He’s a menace. Someone needs to stop him.

Xena Warrior Princess 3x07 The Debt (2)

You mean that I should serve someone who hates me. More than that, you need to serve someone you hate. I'd rather die. You've been a dead woman for a long time now Xena, I'm offering you the chance to live.

If the world is against Lao Ma then I am against the world. #anyway I just love it - I just love the idea that dark xena came around to the point of wanting to serve this woman simply because she #believed in her and in how much of a good influence she could be 'I have been blessed or cursed to see into the souls of others.

Andre n Metallica

I don't know if this was in the movie, so I'm gonna headcanon that Andre is a metallica listener and I stand by the idea so much like he'd be blasting their music in his room or when he lifts some weights. Metallica would play in the bg and Andre is doing his homework, Cal would just sit at the edge of his bed and both are bopping silently and headbanging just a little bit.

I also think he would be into thrash metal music in general. 80s thrash metal bands, Andre would be so into that.

He would've enjoyed Kill em all or Ride The Lighting. Also Wherever I May Roam is SOOO HIM, I PICTURE HIM ALONG WITH THE LYRICS

Since Dracul doesn't sleep, like, at all. Imagine Hector and Mathias watching as this man either stays on the throne or paces around aimlessly, but they never see him sleep. Maybe Mathias confronts him about it because Dracul tries to nod off as Mathias is talking. Dracul simply growls and walks away. Now, Mathias might interpret this as Dracul being angry with him, and tell Hector about it.

Now imagine this, one night Hector leaves for a moment, leaving Mathias alone in bed. Maybe he got called by the Toymaker for some assistance. Imagine something crawling in bed with Mathias, and he almost immediately knows it's not Hector. It's heavy and weirdly warm and cold at the same time. It also smells like rot and death. So he wakes up and instinctively tries to get away, only to see Dracul passed out on top of him. The Castle also shifts above him, and informs the confused Lord that, Dracul was asleep and it needed a safe place to leave him. And that if him or Hector hurt its Prince, it will make sure that their death will be long and painful. Before just, vanishing from the room, now leaving Mathias under Dracul. Imagine Hector when he returns and finds his Lord and Dracul in bed together. Of course,Mathias would explain what he understood happened. Maybe this will make Hector and Mathias see something more in Dracul as he sleeps. Maybe Dracul would wake up not even an hour into the nap, and immediately tries to get back up. He offers no discussion nor explanation.

Maybe this becomes a pattern. A very sad pattern.

Anyways, that's just some thoughts I had.

@beevean @the-crow-binary

#LoS AU #i made a tag #god i just want Mathias and Hector to realize that Gabriel isnt that bad of a man #but the Castle's influence just making everything worse. #but i also want them to suffer #just a little #its like a zebra cake #a nice little treat

Crack Prompt: Alya and Adrien were assigned to do a project and Adrien suggested that they work in his house.

It also leads to Alya snooping around and Adrien having to reel her in and then they discovered that Adrien’s father is Hawk Moth.

Adrien instantly gets into a spiral and Alya is there to reassure him during this. They came up with a plan to steal the brooch but also to mess with Gabriel for being a shitty father and villain.

Or in layman’s terms, Adrien goes through a teenage rebellion phase with Alya encouraging this while making sure to support Adrien and threatening to expose Gabriel being a terrible father thanks to Alya’s influence as the Ladyblogger and being best friends with the babysitter of Nadja’s daughter.

(Marinette is blissfully unaware of this because she’s too busy having her brain melt into mush at seeing Adrien in leather outfits and looking absolutely fine)

Bonus if it ends with Rena and Chat just telling off Gabriel after he reveals his plans with the wish and Rena giving Gabriel her absolute terrifying speech of how he should allow his son more freedom or else she will make his life a living hell.

(Let’s say, if he doesn’t comply. She’ll make him her big sister’s new punching bag)

Also, it would be funny if Alya figured out Adrien’s identity during this or Plagg simply said “Screw secret identities” when the duo found out who Hawk Moth is and exposed himself to comfort his holder

#miraculous ladybug #ml fic idea #ml prompt #ml crack #alya sugar #adrien sugar #seriously I think we need more Alya and Adrien brotp content #I can just imagine how freaking hilarious this will be with these two causing shenanigans for Gabriel #while planning to steal the brooch under his nose #plus I would love for more threatening Alya because imagine just how scary she is with the right motivation #Plus I would love a fic for Marinette to be blissfully unaware of all of this because she’s being distracted #identity reveal and shenanigans lol #plagg would definitely influence this kind of rebellion

i am in Love with the idea of gabriel becoming a baker for some reason. i know ivor says he does a whole Wandering Warrior thing but gRAHH i just..

i’m just super into the idea of baker gabriel. he does his fair share of adventuring of course- he might not be the hero everyone thought he was, but he’s still an adventurer in his own right, and it’s hard to let go of that lifestyle- but when it’s finally time to settle down and watch a new generation of heroes come into their own, gabriel getting into baking just feels so Right to me

plus, its fun to imagine the new order of the stone visiting gabriel every once in awhile. they get to see dad gabriel And get delicious pastries out of it :]

#minecraft #minecraft story mode #mcsm #mcsm gabriel #this is prob influenced by the fact that he just has such dad vibes #that is totally not bcz his va is also twd lee #and also influenced by the lets do bakery mod #WHATEVER.. i like it tho.. from greatest warrior to greatest baker. he wins deez

[commsroom]

one of the first things we hear from hera (via eiffel, before she even speaks) is that she finds human bodies to be "uncomfortably liquid".

that was the moment I knew I'm going to project my whole ND ass at her forever. same, girl. big, big same.

real. she's soo neurodivergent. and also. okay. that's such an interesting line as part of a larger pattern, because the way she talks about eiffel's body (and it's almost always eiffel who gets these comments from her) feels like a direct response to the way he talks about her, um... lack of body. "three pound glob of meat" is a direct response to "your iron giant processor" etc.

even in the framing of that first script, he's complaining about her talking about his "fragile, carbon-based, uncomfortably liquid body" right after a comment about something hera wouldn't understand "as an artificial intelligence"... a real breakthrough for human-AI relations, was it? i think there's a way hera plays with the assumptions people have about her as an AI, that's part of her sense of humor (post about that here), but it also comes from a place of real hurt and constantly being othered. and i think the way she navigates that also definitely resonates from a ND perspective. eiffel doesn't even recognize the equivalence or significance of her comments, because he's privileged in a way that her jokes about him are just jokes. "what if i just went around blaming every stupid decision you made on 'biology'?" and it still takes him so long to really get it.

#like a lot of things in the early scripts. there are growing pains for sure. but it does make it look a certain way in retrospect #i don't know if i've talked about this recently but it's interesting that hera's name is stylized 'HERA' in the first script only #and that gabriel said that all of his influences from other AI characters went out the window as soon as he started writing for michaela #in the second episode. so you can see a clear shift and like... clarification of who hera is. i think about that a lot and it really inform #how i talk about her i think. like the way that stylization becomes an in-universe microaggression in retrospect is fascinating. #but that's a whole other topic of discussion. #sorry i just kinda springboarded off of your comment but #much to think about... #wolf 359 #w359 #hera wolf 359 #asks

ML Meta Theory: Chinese legend “Butterfly Lovers”

I just realized that I never got around to talk about the Chinese legend 梁山伯與祝英臺 (Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai) - or the title its mostly referred to in English: Butterfly Lovers – and that I think its quite possible that this tragic tale is the reason why the Butterfly Miraculous specifically is the villain in Miraculous and Marientte’s and Adrien’s love story, even though Butterflies aren’t exactly that special of animals in Chinese cultures.

(Statue: Liangzhu Culture Park)

Disclaimer: As per usual, I’m of no country of the Asien continent and I also have no family roots there I’m taking this from. I’m one person who is very interested in culture and literature and research is all I can do in this regard at the moment.

So if my post contains false information, misrepresentations or other points, please let me now.

Butterfly Lovers was selected as one of China's Four Great Folktales by the "Folklore Movement" in the 1920s and I’ve gotta be honest, this is such a spot on “civilian Ml-Love-Square” way for a romantic couple to tragically never reach each other and then die in the end, I would find it surprising if it didn’t at least have SOME influence on the show.

Cause the Love Square WOULD

Zhu Yingtai is the ninth child and only daughter of the wealthy Zhu family of Shangyu, Zhejiang. Although women are traditionally discouraged from taking up scholarly pursuits, Zhu manages to convince her father to allow her to attend classes in disguise as a man. During her journey to Hangzhou, she meets Liang Shanbo, a scholar from Kuaiji. They chat and feel a strong affinity for each other at their first meeting. Hence, they gather some soil as incense and take an oath of fraternity in the pavilion of a wooden bridge.

They study together for the next three years in school and Zhu gradually falls in love with Liang. Although Liang equals Zhu in their studies, he is still a bookworm and fails to notice the feminine characteristics exhibited by his classmate.

One day, Zhu receives a letter from her father, asking her to return home as soon as possible. Zhu has no choice but to pack her belongings immediately and bid Liang farewell. However, in her heart, she has already confessed her love for Liang and is determined to be with him for all eternity. Before her departure, she reveals her true identity to the headmaster's wife and asks her to pass a jade pendant to Liang as a betrothal gift.

Liang accompanies his "sworn brother" for 18 miles to see her off. During the journey, Zhu hints to Liang that she is actually a woman. For example, she compares them to a pair of mandarin ducks (a symbol of lovers in Chinese culture), but Liang does not catch her hints and does not even have the slightest suspicion that his companion is a woman in disguise. Zhu finally comes up with an idea and tells Liang that she will act as a matchmaker for him and Zhu's "sister". Before they part, Zhu reminds Liang to visit her residence later so he can propose to marry her "sister". Liang and Zhu reluctantly part ways at the Changting pavilion.

Months later, when Liang visits Zhu, he discovers that she is actually a woman. They are devoted to and passionate about each other and they make a vow to the effect of "till death do us part". The joy of their reunion is short-lived as Zhu's parents have already arranged for her to marry a wealthy merchant, Ma Wencai. Liang is heartbroken when he hears the news and his health gradually deteriorates until he becomes critically ill. He dies in office later as a county magistrate.

On the day of Zhu's marriage to Ma, strong winds prevent the wedding procession from escorting the bride beyond Liang's grave, which lies along the journey. Zhu leaves the procession to pay her respects at Liang's grave. She descends in bitter despair and begs for the grave to open up. Suddenly, the grave opens with a clap of thunder. Without further hesitation, Zhu throws herself into the grave to join Liang. Their spirits emerge in the form of a pair of butterflies and fly away together, never to be separated again.

The Love Square WOULD!

Switch their roles out at several points and you do have a pretty strong Love-square tragic love story and I simply found that way too fitting to be a mere coincidence.

Again, it’s one of China's Four Great Folktales and the Butterfly has always seemed like an odd choice for the villain of this show, which does intergrade a lot of references in the narrative and characters to for example the Chinese numbers and the Zodiac system, their meanings and relations (Post here)

So this doesn’t seem that far-fetched at all, and in my opinion it just FEELS extremely right for Le Papillion’s/ Hawkmoth’s role in the show without making him culturally inappropriate since Gabriel is a white man, terrorist and child abuser. He, as the villain, is the narrative manifestation of “Butterfly Lovers” but without having him as an actual PERSON be its embodiment.

while i guess one could make the excuse of tyler’s scrawny-ass genes affecting miguel, there is NO excuse to make gabriel a skinny little twink when u take into account the combined stocky- and largeness of conchata and george o’hara. i mean. george alone was the size of an actual fridge

I feel like no one has pointed this out. Gabriel is an asshole, but in the last episode, he has become much worse because he is under the influence of a cataclysm.

I mean, that's probably the fattest hint I've ever seen from Astruc.
