Hahahaha multiplication I am so fucking lost
Ok so let’s go we’re doing this
Episode starts with Ladybug and Chat Noir looking for Felix, good job for using a braincell bestie, also why are the Astro costumes so sparkly bro?
People are for some reason still forgiving and supporting ladybug (bitch why?! She fucked up so bad and y’all doesn’t even have the “complex” context to it!) and Chloe and Lila are demonized (Chloe is right to criticize Ladybug tho)
(Also Su-Han was such an afterthought to justify Ladybug, he’s right to be furious)
And Marinette… well. I don’t really know how to feel about her still.
Like I know most people who actually know my opinions of her would think “isn’t this what you wanted? She’s feeling guilt about what she did and trying to move on!” And in that regard, yeah! I am glad that she’s acknowledging that she fucked up miserably and that its all her fault and that she should have done better and let go of her obsession with Adrien, but that’s just the thing
She’s blaming it all on her “love” for Adrien.
This show has a big thing with phrasing, which I never really liked, and while I’m glad Marinette’s finally trying to move on, it feels:
1. shallow (I’ll link my post about her breakdowns and feelings of guilt here, but I still don’t trust her to actually move on, I’m afraid I came across the spoilers for season 5, and she goes back to stalking real quick)
2. Wrong? Like it often feels like whenever Marinette says she should move on it’s not “I can’t function around him I’m fucking crazy” it’s “oh he’s so dreamy I can’t help but be in love with him Alya he’s too perfect I canttttt”
3. Like it’s the wrong thing to do! Everyone is moaning and crying over how “Nooooo you should keep at it honey you got this we love you you deserve Adrein as yours noooo” to make the viewer feel like maybe Marinette and Adrien being apart and not a part of this toxic ass stalker relationship is bad!
And with Adrien…
Listen first of all, I would like to congratulate the Love Square shippers, and specifically Adrienette. I know this is what a lot of people have been wanting from day one and I’m honest to god happy for them! Having ships come true and such always makes people happy! You guys deserve nice things and I really hope this time around, this ship won’t be dragged out to long.
I personally tho? Am not as thrilled, because of the context behind this love square finally coming together.
With Marinette’s constant stalking from day one, Ladybug’s treatment of Chat Noir, Chat Noir being initially very obsessed with Ladybug, and now Adrien being obsessed with Marinette? (Like seriously man, The entire thing with Adrien trying to kiss Marinette’s cheek and Alya trying to hold her so he would kiss her have me such creepy energy and like “no but she wants it!” And like??? NO????? BESTIE NO ALYA STOP MARINETTE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO)
This entire ship has been dragged out for so long and is so unhealthy from both sides (personally I think it’s primarily from Marinette’s side, because she was legit breaking the law or being a really shitty toxic hypocrite, but Adrien is no saint either, never really trying to move on except for season 4, to only now latch onto another person for approval, god I hate it here) that even if on paper, Marinette and Adrien are developing, the tone and background to this ship has kinda ruined it for me
For me, even if right now, they come together in a healthy way (which I’m not even super sure about, Marinette goes back to stalking and viewing Adrien (just like she views Chat Noir now apparently) as an idea/an object of desire for her use, and Adrien is just making the same mistake he made with Ladybug with Marinette! this ship is forever really unhealthy and toxic for me
(Plagg sweetie not you too)
Personally, I still side with Adrien more, as he is again! Given more shit for his bad behavior, gets more mistreated and sidelined by the plot, has a really fucked up childhood that somewhat explains his behavior, and is not a criminal who could be arrested for breaking and entering MARINETTE, but again! Both are really bad
Anyways now that this tangent and my stance on the love square has been made clear let me real quick list everything else out:
1. Natalie my goddess my queen kill your husband and take your boy with you away from Paris please
2. Tomoe is evil out of nowhere!!! And with literally no fucking motive as to why???? WHY IS SHE SUPPORTING GABRIEL?????
3. Gabriel go die, bitch looks like a Q-tip and really went “yeah no we don’t need you for modeling anymore let’s just scan and use a clone of you
4. I love how no one in Paris gives a shit for their constant impending doom from a terrorist so much for that support
5. Felix is about to get demonized and god why am I not even surprised anymore! They made a 14 year old a terrorist to justify Marinette’s hatred for her, forget a complex plot
Also the alliance rings are really weird for me, and I have a million questions as to how Gabriel did what he did with the rings and miraculouses which open a million plot holes for discussion, but I’ll make a post about it when the show releases more info on the rings, so I won’t spoil it for anyone who hadn’t seen the spoilers for season 5 yet
