If people are parasocially connected to you, that means you have power and are an abuser.

No exceptions. No ifs, ands, or buts.

What’s one thing you’re just not good at? (Just the silly, inconsequential stuff here! Unless you think being able to divide anything without a calculator is important, in which case, sorry!)

Math. No need to feel bad. It’s hard for no reason at all

Being on time for literally anything

Replying to texts or DMs

Adding tags that sort of don’t make any sense to your posts

Remembering to drink water (here you go🚰)

Touching grass (like actually going outside and breathing real air)

Drawing hands

Cooking new recipes

Making the bed in the morning

Having a sense of direction in a new place

I’m bad at all of these except one.

Miraculous bedtime stories

I came across this tweet from ladybugfrance:

The Miraculous Secrets cards have apparently revealed a secret about Chat Noir:

Adrien chose the name “Chat Noir” for his superhero counterpart because it was the name of the superhero in the bedtime story his mother would read to him 😭

(Definitely not crying here 😭)

But wait a minute…

If you think about this…

Was Emilie telling him a story about a superhero named Chat Noir a total coincidence or did she make up a Chat Noir character because she knew about the black cat Miraculous and that’s where she took her inspiration from?

Back then, she would never have thought that her son would know about the Miraculous one day so she thought it was safe to take inspiration from the magic jewels they were hunting down with Gabriel and Nathalie but now that Adrien is the actual black cat Miraculous holder, how insane is that?? 🤯

Going further with this:

What if the book Emilie used to imagine Adrien’s bedtime stories was the actual Miraculous Grimoire and that’s why Adrien got so intrigued by the book and stole it from his Father’s safe? He might have been too young to remember anything or what the book actually looked like but seeing the book again might have unconsciously triggered some deep buried childhood memories in him.

What do you guys think?

Is it too far-fetched or are you also convinced that everything happens for a reason in this show and that’s not a coincidence?

What if the reason he feel for Ladybug so quickly was because she remined him of a superheroine from the bed time stories his mom told him?

Like Emilie knew about all of the miraculous stuff (or so it seems) so it would make perfect sense for her to make up stories based on the grimoire.

Actors and Animators should go on strike next tbh. Especially cgi animators. Put the fear back into Hollywood

Animators? Yes. Actors? If youre talking ppl like RDJ or Jamie Lee Curtis or what have you. They have more than enough fucking money. Take a look at one production cost and see how much these people are paid.

My dad is an actor/playwrite. He has to constantly search for new gigs to make ends meet, and even then ends up doing retail or lyft or doordash a lot of the time between gigs.

And my parents don’t live in a huge house in New York or LA, it’s a tiny townhouse in a really small city. My mom’s the one who really pays the mortgage with her events organizer and house manager jobs at local theatres, and even then they struggle to afford living expenses. They used food stamps when I was a kid - not every month, but enough that I see it as a normal thing to do.

And when he does get gigs, especially like big tv gigs, working conditions are CRAP. He nearly got severe hypothermia once for having to jump in a freezing cold river in early winter from 11pm-3am, repeatedly, for a shot they didn’t even end up USING.

Scheduling is abysmal, overtime is never properly compensated for, the jobs are DANGEROUS (mostly on a physical fatigue level), and work is contractual by nature. Are there some contracts that are ridiculously good? Yes, that’s how contract-based work tends to happen for a lucky few.

But getting a contract like that is like winning the lottery, and even then they can be really exploitative if you don’t have a kickass agent and/or a really good entertainment lawyer. There aren’t really steady 9-5 full time acting jobs with benefits the way there are with other jobs. It’s difficult to get any gigs in the first place, I cannot emphasize enough how much it is a constant job search.

And that’s not even getting into the horrendous conditions and disrespect for voice actors. Actors should ABSOLUTELY go on strike

I fucking hope RDJ and Will Smith and everyone on top strike too. You want a real impact? Let’s see what happens when top names refuse to work until the people on the bottom are compensated fairly too.

Being able to pretend it’s just some uppity character actors or commercial actors lets studios distract. When there’s no star for the best blockbuster to be, they can’t ignore the demands.

The top-paid members of an industry strike in support of better working conditions for their coworkers, not for more money. Neil Gaiman and George RR Martin aren’t striking because they want or expect to be paid more, they’re striking to support the entire rest of their industry because they care about it.

Years ago, I encountered the following quote on a forum:

I am objecting to the loose policy of using this whenever somebody on the writing team says “hey, we need to show that this guy’s really really really really mean, maybe we should have him screw a bunch of babies and then eat them, man that’s mean! That should make up for the complete lack of character development up to this point.” It does nothing for the character… it just shows the idiocy of the writer….

Unfortunately, it seems the showrunners of Miraculous Ladybug have taken this sentiment not as a complaint, but as a challenge to see how much lower they can make Chloé Bourgeois go.

copdog1234:

I’m trying so, so hard to not be a little salty about recent ml episodes cause I really do truly enjoy the show, but there’s still just the nitpick of how Thomas treats Chloe like she’s the worst person on the show, but then excuses the behavior of Andre Bourgeois, a notable enabler of Chloe’s behavior.

I keep thinking I’m over Chloe’s murdered redemption arc. I know that ship has long since sailed, but then we have an episode centered around Zoe or a flashback to Marinette’s past out of nowhere which kinds just rubs it in our faces that, yeah, Chloe is supposed to be the absolute worst. And it annoys me.

Chloe is a child. An actual child and Andre spoiled her constantly, giving in to all of her (utterly) ridiculous demands no matter how outlandish or terrible it was. He constantly abused his power as mayor of the city. And you want me to believe that he, as Chloe’s parent, had no control over any of that? That he did it cause he’s blinded by his love? That he’s a sympathetic character who is abused by both his wife and his daughter? And that he’s actually a “good guy” who can be a “good father” as long as he has a kid who isn’t a piece of shit?

No. I refuse. I actively refuse. He should’ve long since disciplined Chloe, being her only present parent. He had every chance for 14 years to be a good parent and he wasn’t. Part of being a parent is teaching right and wrong and he did not. He is the primary reason Chloe is the way she is, not just her mom.

It’s just so dumb. Why is the worst person on the planet a 14 year old girl when there is a person around her who actively nurtured her personality? But then that same person is narratively supposed to be the victim? HES AN ADULT WHO HAD A RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE NEGLECTED, HE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from

Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.

Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.

ALT

What’s worse is some fandoms pirated material to get it circulated in favor of the official releases of the time, only to condemn piracy once the pirated material became official, while the old official releases became unavailable.
