okay here's some actual life advice for new parents

go to the library.

those toddler reading times are actually community-building events where you can meet fellow new parents with children the same age as your kid. you know how it's hard to socialize with all your friends, especially if they don't have young children? well here's a group of people that are far more likely to understand your situation and have free time that isn't after 9 pm on a school night. plus your kids can learn how to socialize with their own peer group. AND it's free

do NOT show up and scroll thru ur phone the entire time, the library isnt daycare, you need to be present too

Jaybin getting singled out as particularly reckless and disobedient for victim blaming reasons as if 1. No other Robin has ever disobeyed Batman , 2. putting yourself at risk to save a civilian isn’t the exact type of self sacrifice Bruce taught them, and 3. as if any other Robin would’ve let their mom walk into a warehouse with the Joker and not followed her in

good example of creators keeping their actors in the dark: michael shur not telling manny jacinto, william jackson harper, or jameela jamil the truth about the good place until right before they filmed the scene where it’s revealed, because until that moment, their characters are also completely in the dark and have no idea what’s coming. also note that schur told ted danson before LONG before this, because danson’s character DID know the truth all along, and danson had to know too so he could play the role correctly.

bad example of creators keeping their actors in the dark: the russo brothers telling the actors the characters were at a wedding instead of a funeral (which is COMPLETELY different in tone, environment, and how people act) because ~no spoilers~

Things to never say to someone who just came out

Happy pride month! Well, happy late pride month. What can I say, I procrastinate and undertale is very addictive.

So you know how in "The Ruler," it's implied that Cerise is starting to suspect that Nathaniel is Caprikid? Something I've been wondering lately is why out of all of the heroes, why did the writers pick Nathaniel/Caprikid's to be one Cerise started to suspect. From a meta standpoint, Nath's a rather random choice compared to say Marinette, Adrien, Alya, or Nino. However, I have a theory.

Once Chrysalis is defeated (which admittedly probably won't be for a while since Timetagger revealed that Chrysalis's time as the butterfly wielder will last long enough for Nino's little brother to go through puberty), the writers will almost certainly want to give Nooroo a new heroic wielder. However, I can see the writers taking a look at the teen characters who don't already have a miraculous (like Aurore or Ondine) and deciding that none of them really fit the vibe of the butterfly miraculous (which could be part of the reason season 6 has introduced several new teen characters, like Sublime and Diane). While looking at pre-established characters to decide which characters fit the butterfly' vibe, they may have realized that Nath (despite currently wielding the goat) fits the vibe of the butterfly pretty well.

Also, they're probably at least somewhat aware that the decision to give Nathaniel the goat miraculous has sparked controversy among the fandom due to the horns.

So perhaps the writers are planning to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by doing a storyline where Chrysalis does something to Nath that leads to him stepping down as Caprikid (in the process freeing up Nath to eventually become the new butterfly wielder after the heroes finally rescue Nooroo). Maybe it becomes clear to the heroes that Chrysalis knows Nath is Caprikid, so Nath decides that he'd rather retire from being Caprikid and return the goat miraculous to Ladybug than risk Ziggy falling into the hands of yet another supervillain.

Alternatively, if the writers are feeling edgy, maybe Chrysalis could sick an akumatized villain on Nath, have the akuma injure Nath really badly (like breaking his arm or making even badly damaging his spine, though that may be too dark), and then recall the akuma before Ladybug has the chance to summon a lucky charm, (since I pretty sure Ladybug can only reverse the damage caused by an akumatized villain or sentimonster if she summons her lucky charm BEFORE the akuma or amok is recalled), causing the injuries Nath sustained to have heal the old-fashioned way (or possibly even permanent if the injury in question was a spinal cord injury). If this were to happen, this would almost certainly lead to Nath having to retire from superheroing (at least for the time being), so he may have to return to goat miraculous.

Either way Ladybug reluctantly takes back the Goat miraculous, and finds a new wielder for Ziggy. I'm leaning towards Socqueline.

Fastforward 10 or so years in-universe, the heroes defeat Chrysalis and finally retrieve the butterfly miraculous. Ladybug thinks she and the other heroes can finally rest for a while, only for a bunch of new supervillains to show up in Paris. Nooroo begs Marinette to give him a new holder so that his powers can start being used for good again. Ladybug ultimately decides to make Nathaniel (who has either recovered from his injuries; or if it was spinal cord injury, the butterfly's powers make the butterfly well-suited for someone with mobility issues, as demonstrated, as seen in ML fanfic, "Nymph and the Corrupted Miraculous") the new Butterfly wielder. And since Nathaniel is lot nicer to Nooroo than Gabriel or Cerise ever were, Nooroo becomes extremely protective of Nathaniel.

You know what disney should do for remakes if they weren't Cowards?

Animated remakes of their live action stuff!

Give me a high energy zany slapstick and heart filled freaky Friday, give me a still gritty and dark but fun animated pirates of the Caribbean!

Honestly my suggestion is either this or giving the remake attention to movies that need a better chance like Atlantis or Treasure Planet.

Dialogue I hope to see in Miraculous

Marinette: oh hey, Jalil, fancy running into you. Love the man-bun.

Jalil: thanks, so how are you holding up after that jerk calling himself Vincent Secret tried to run that smear campaign against you on Zoo?

Marinette: I'm doing good. Speaking of Zoo, do you have an account yet?

Jalil: nah, I decided to stay away form social media for the time being. The last time I used social media, I wound up falling into rabbit holes. I still can't believe that I let people convince me that Monarch might be a good guy.

(zoom out to reveal that this conversation has been taking place on front of Gabriel's statue)

Jalil: Marinette, are you okay? Why is your eye twitching?

Marinette: I can't answer that question without the world ending.

Jalil: I don't know how to respond to that.

It just occurred to me that Jalil Kubdel could totally pull off a man-bun.

In any fanfic or ML AU where Adrien and Felix aren't sentimonsters, but the writer/artist doesn't specify what Emilie did use the peacock for in their AU, I will assume that AU's version of Emilie created a sentimonster to kill Colt Fathom in order to protect her sister and nephew.
