You were one of the 20-40ish senators who conspired to kill Julius Caesar, but did NOT stab.

Okay, so we all know that Marinette and Adrien were chosen because they passed Fu’s tests, proving their ability to think on their feet, put others before themselves, etc.

But like, the tests were targeted at them specifically, meaning that there was already a reason that Fu wanted them as Ladybug and Chat Noir.

And then I realised: teenagers are broke. Most teenagers would not be able to fund a constant supply of macarons or camembert, both of which are quite expensive. So isn’t it really convenient that the kwami who eats baked goods went to the girl who lives in a bakery and the kwami who eats expensive cheese went to the richest boy in Paris?

Guys. Marinette and Adrien were chosen for their ability to feed their kwamis.

Every time I open Tumblr and I see Odysseus one of the three pops up, should I feel pity, sympathy or feel charmed???

girls when they analyze ancient texts about murder incest and cannibalism together

teaching latin can be a difficult thing to explain to people for a variety of reasons (mostly boiling down to "why do you do that") but sometimes in the middle of talking about my job i realize how absurd some aspects of it are. like i can't even take it seriously myself when i'm in the middle of telling someone that "he needs mouse bites to live" is an important plot point in the textbook i use

the thing about teaching middle school in the current day and age is that it makes you say the most absurd things in order to engage with students on their level. like yeah sure caesar was a real rizzler. now can we lock in and finish these last few sentences before class is over. one of my colleagues has stuffed animals that the kids can keep on their desk but they have to ask in french if they can have the animal and the other day i heard a student asking if he could have the among us plush named sussy rouge

the Artist is @hemmyjam2, sorry didn't know, found it somewhere on the internet and liked it like so many of you.

Marinette Dupain Cheng the woman that you are

And that is how you wrap up an arc!!

Loved the way they transitioned to the new animation at the end.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that the three Bunnyxs in the London Special was a sort of comparison to the Moirai, an entity from the Greek Mythology, and honestly i think it's pretty clever.

In greek mythology, the Moirai (also named Parcae in Roman) are the personification of destiny and determine the live of each living being. And they are also three, like the Bunnyxs in the special. They watch over the fate of the humans too.

There's each of them and their roles:

Clotho, the younger one who spun the thread of life. 15 year old Alix represent her due to receiving the rabbit Miraculous.

Lachesis, the middle sister. She measured the thread of life affilied to each person who lived. she's represented by 25 yo Alix.

And the third one, Atropos, who cut the thread and determine the manner of each person's fate (her name means also inevitable). The third Bunnyx who 70 years old is most likely who she represent.

We talk a lot about how Lila was able to figure out Ladybug’s identity, steal the Miraculous and make her Wish within a few hours (!!!), but not enough about how Chronobug was able to beat her at her own game after the terrible awful no good day she just had.

This is Marinette at her WORST. She was literally dealing with the world ending for a second time that day, but this time for GOOD, and she still went out and did her job and absolutely KILLED IT.

Because the girls are both so smart, they highlight each other’s intelligence, and it’s great 💛

utterly UTTERLY fascinated by Nathalie in the london special (and I say this as someone who wasn’t all that compelled by her before)

I’ve changed, she says - and proves it. When both the miraculouses she’s been looking for are right in front of her, she doesn’t take them. Doesn’t even try to. As though it doesn’t occur to her.

I’m not a mother, she says - but when she sees a child in pain, her first instinct is to hug them.

I’ll go to jail, she says - once again, arguably, taking the easy way out. That way, she doesn’t have to keep looking in Adrien’s eyes every day. She can feel her own guilt in peace, with no one else’s to mingle in with it.

Adrien will be okay because he has you, she says - to a child with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Nathalie doesn’t even try to lessen that burden; instead, she makes it all the more heavier.

I’m here to kill Gabriel, she says - and then what?

IM SORRY. I'M SO SORRY. They really chose to draw THIS? I CAN'T😭😭😭😭

actually, miraculous ladybug is an objectively good show and i can prove it. every writing decision you don't like? that was actually written for meeeeeee specifically!!!!! it's all for meeeeee to make meeeee happy!!!!!! that animation errror? teehee, it's because they knew i'd find it funny heheee!!! the purpose of the show miraculous ladybug is to cater to meeeee specifically and they succeeded!!!!! it's all for meeeeeee hehe <3

I find it so frustrating when people say that a fault of miraculous is that the characters don’t have more outfits. (A writing/design fault) like that’s not a completely normal thing for cartoons.

Giving a character multiple outfits isn’t as easy as just giving it to them. It needs to go through a character designer, a turn around, then modelling, then texturing, (in miraculous’ case) all of which costs money. It doesn’t make sense in most cases for shows to devote that level investment just to give a character more variety when let’s be real, it’s not necessary. That’s why in 2D productions characters can often get multiple outfits because it is slightly less costly (you really only need to come up with the design and make a turn around).

Why do you think the show only gives the character a new outfit when it’s relevant to the plot? Or when it would be weird not to? It’s not that it would be hard to do. It’s not that they don’t want too, it’s that it would cost more money to. Money executives aren’t willing to give.
