I Need To Join A Ml Discord Server Because Right Now I Force My Friends To Listen To Me Rant And They

miraculous ladybug sucks but the one thing that was fun was that marinette has two love interests that play the femme fatale (chat noir: fun but dangerous, flirty, oh no he's trying to tempt me into giving away my identity, literally based on black cat) and the ingenue (adrien: innocent and naive, passive role, oh no they know nothing of the world so i must protect them, etc.) which are typically foils. but it turns out these two love interests that she must choose between - are the same person. instead of two stock tropes that she must choose between (the innocence and safety of her civilian life versus the dangerous adventure of superhero life) she must reconcile and choose both. and then they added luka because they were bored.

keep thinking 'do i tag anything for organization' on here. first of all this blog was made to yap on like nobody is seeing it but me. truly my journal. and second of all i really don't want it appearing in any tags. but if i start rewriting i might tag shit for my own benefit i don't know lmao. like at least so i can find that through my endless complaining

the thing is that i actually love moral grayness. and i actually don't personally believe lying is always wrong. sometimes lying is necessary in the society we live in. sometimes people that want to hurt us want to use information we have against us, and there's no reason to tell the truth to those people. it's just self defense. so mls secret identity rules have never been a problem to me ever. in fact i think the superhero genre is a perfect avenue for exploring the topic of what is and isn't okay to lie about. but there are some things that are just so fucking crazy to me to keep secret and ml has reached the point where it's like Jesus fucking Christ.

WHY DID HE GET SUDDEN GOOD VIBES??? AT THE END OF THE EP???? WHEN DID HE SHOW THE CAPACITY TO FROLICK AMONGST THE COMMON FOLK??????????? NO MORE RANDOM REDEMPTION ARCS FOR OLD WHITE MEN MLB WHAT THE HECK

like im not saying anyone has to remember everything that gabriel has done but keep in mind he's done things like threaten nuclear annihilation to the entire North American continent, drowned the entirety of paris, and marinette is also aware he akumatized chat noir into literally destroying the entire world. so keeping this in mind, one might think to themselves "maybe the people of the world would like some sort of real closure and justice for these crimes against humanity." of course, if one only thinks about adriens wellbeing, it may seem like telling the world about it to be detrimental to him. but it's also important to keep in mind gabriel also did things such as: threaten to blow up the north american continent while adrien was on that continent. and keep adrien in the white cage. and the multitude of other things akumas have done targeting adrien personally - gorizilla? riposte? one might think even adrien would want some sort of closure or justice for how he's personally been treated by hawkmoth. of course, this may be terrible to find out that it's your father who didn't care about your personal or physical wellbeing, but at least a person can come to terms with how they were treated if they know all the facts.

of course marinette is a 14 year old girl who has a lot on her plate and having to navigate very hard decisions. and sometimes it seems safe to simply do nothing at all. especially with secrets like this - because you can't reverse telling people the truth, but you can always reverse a lie by coming clean later. but i do generally expect like most people with morality of any kind to think to themselves "wow. i think keeping this secret is detrimental to a lot of people and their personal growth and their capability of making autonomous informed decisions." at least one tiktoker could say "hey maybe adrien should know he's a sentimonster if nothing else so he can be aware he can be remote controlled so that he can better protect his autonomy" alas this show is for 7 year olds so no. marinette is always right. and so the shitty moral lessons of ml win yet again. i need tequila.

i can't go on tiktok and read comments. revelator has done something insane because i have seen so many comments saying what marinette is doing when it comes to lying about gabriel being hawkmoth is 100 percent correct and alya being upset about her lying is wrong. am i fucking crazy? am i out of my mind right now? or do tiktok comment sections live in an entirely different universe than me? because what do you mean it's the correct option to lie to the entire world about how the person who has terrorized them for years is actually a hero and not even tell his son that his father was a criminal. omfg does no one understand the concept of justice or closure or autonomy. even if telling the world gabriel agreste was hawkmoth might result in adriens life becoming harder, why not tell adrien and let him make ab informed decision about any of it? or do people hate letting other people other than marinette make decisions. this is actually driving me insane like i can't actually deal with reading people saying marinette is morally correct. what are we teaching people right now

@wavebiders sorry to screenshot your tags but i agree with all of this so much + the examples. the messaging has always irked me about ml. for a kids show with an akuma of the day it's a pretty perfect set up to have those kids show episode formulas of learning a moral every episode but the morals ml teaches is, quite frankly, insane. which would be fine if it was for a little bit of an older audience but it's NOT. i dont know for some reason ive always seen miraculous as quite honestly pretty mean spirited in its storytelling...

like there's just so much going on in miraculous ladybug like it's a baby kids show that has akumas every week and is funny and has cute romance which is what i expected and i assume most people wanted. and then it also has insane themes from things such as having a miraculous that has a power of creating designer babies forced to do whatever you want; which is not inherently bad i actually think it's a fascinating topic to explore but maybe in a horror movie. not the baby kids show that is mainly a feel good romance? i suppose the idea is to make it more similar to avatar and other family focused shows where it is both fun but has adult themes that cater to parents watching, but in this case they could handle their more adult themes with like a smidgen more care than they do. instead they introduce shit like sentimonsters and waffle on the morality of doing stuff like: killing them. GIRL‼️ this is a baby kids show we're teaching children MORALS‼️ murder is bad guys. unless the heroes do it 💖

Most Hated Magical Girl Character - Round 3

If we lived in the good timeline Nino would have canon parents and Adrien would have become an honorary lahiffe but instead he’s gonna keep on being marinette’s pet boyfriend

don't ever remind me of miraculous ladybug it's that serious to me. I treat the writing of ml like being in the damn navy.

the miraculous au in my head where chloe and marinette are actually both into fashion and their school rivalry also becomes an actual rivalry in the fashion world but marinette wins that hat competition and impresses gabriel enough that she eventually becomes his apprentice, slowly entangling marinette in gabriel’s webs and manipulation not unlike adrien, lila, and even the other rich kids such as chloe n kagami. ties marinette closer to the main conflict in her civilian form. so i dont have to see marinette sneak into the agreste mansion for the 500th time, she’d just be there. also just because i think the drama would be insane.
