I don’t think we’ve ever seen a real apology from Marinette. Has she ever said the words “I’m sorry”? Without following it up with what a monster she is? Self-flagellation is not the same as apologizing. It comes across like Marinette isn’t sorry that she messed up or hurt someone, but sorry she was caught.

Other than Lila and Chloe we haven’t seen anyone not immediately forgive Marinette when she hurts them. Lila and Chloe are just brushed that off as “Oh, they’re bad people, of course they wouldn’t forgive Marinette”. Anyone else is expected to immediately set aside their own feelings and cater to Marinette’s. They might get one minute to feel sad or disappointed before they’re reminded that Marinette is upsette. Her crying to her victims because she can’t handle the consequences of her own actions feels very manipulative.

What do you think would happen if someone called her out on this? How do you think Marinette would react if someone who is explicitly a good person, maybe even one of her friends, didn’t immediately forgive her or accept her “apology”?

---

Not for nearly everything she should, no, and a lot of the time it comes with “I’m sorry your feelings were hurt but I was justified” and “I’m the worst” caveats to shield herself from having to actually make up for what she did wrong or improve on what she did wrong. Like, she apologises so much in ‘Kuro Neko’, but all those apologies were to what she thought was an Akumatized Cat Noir, who wouldn't have remembered them, and ended up being empty platitudes, considering she took them back by the time the actual Cat Noir was in front of her again, giving him the silent treatment until he apologized to her. Meanwhile the S4 finale is nothing but her crying about how awful she is and how she messed everything up.

Apologizing to empty air is the same as not actually apologizing, because the point of the apology is to let the wronged party know you acknolwedge you messed up. A general apology is there for the audience, to gather sympathy. Similarly self-flagellation definitely isn't the same thing as apologizing, because it always leads to the people Marinette wronged insisting she didn’t do anything wrong and doesn’t have to change her behavior. An apology should be about learning the error of your ways, telling the person you wronged that you accept responsibility and then making up for what you did wrong, but in Miraculous, Marinette might acknowledge her faults, but it’s done with wild exaggerations and crying about how terrible she is and how she deserves to be shunned, so everyone will focus on comforting her and making sure she stops being upsette and feels good about her failures. Of course Marinette won’t make up for what she did wrong when everyone keeps telling her she’s perfect and did everything right whenever she messes up. Marinette might mean her apologies in the moment but, as soon as she feels good about herself again, she’s right back to thinking she's perfect and never does anything wrong ever.

At this point, if Marinette faced any pushback on her manipulative pity parties from a friend, she'd just assume they'd been brainwashed by an Akuma or something. Because, like, that's the beauty of Marinette's brand of manipulation; Marinette turns every situation where she's in the wrong into her personal crisis. You'd have to be able to harden yourself a whole lot to be able to tell someone who's a hysterical, blubbering mess that they need to stop being so self-centered and focus on something other than how bad they are feeling. All the mentally better-adjusted people around Marinette are willing to be the bigger person and let the thing go. They might tell themselves it's "just for now" so that they can fix the immediate Marinette crisis and discuss things properly with Marinette when she isn't freaking out, but, as I said, Marinette just takes the coddling as a sign she was in the right and, as soon as she feels good about herself again, she'll think she's flawless and perfect again and will most likely ignore anyone trying to tell her she's been a jerk.

Marinette is the type of girl to think boys and girls can’t be just friends

Gabriel Agreste seems like the type of person to put himself and his company first over his son.

Why is Marinette still weird.

Oh hey, this is exactly how I feel

I have been chewing on this bone for a while so i would keep my mouth shut about miraculous but gosh im getting tired.

Adrien just became useless, like im not talking about chat noir part and no dont come at me with they are both the same, i KNOW that! but you cant turn a blind eye that the show makes the civilian form as nothing but useless. Take him out of the scene and boom! Nothing happens, it feels like he only has a space when hes chat noir and even then it became so small with all those new heroes coming which fuck i used to like some but now im just pissed theres so many.

Adrien is a character i always liked and still like no better i freaking love him, and thats why as time went by it became more and more tiring seeing him never leave the first stage.

He has no friends, nino is downplayed so much, kagami was made distant from him, luka is just a random dude he talks once in a blue moon, alya doenst even interact with him that much plus everyone else, and marinette the one i most thought would be the one he would feel more free with feels like shes not being given permission to be close to him.

They are just lovely dovey and is not even in a fun way just a eh way, did i wait since 2016 for that? Just that?! No fucking way.

"Oh you had an idea of what you wanted thats why youre upset crizztel" yeah it might be that, im happy youre satisfied with how things are going no lie i hope people are in fact having fun but i dont like playing the sugar card anymore im sad, im disappointed, but i keep my mouth shut because i want space in the fandom and i fear being labeled as a salter when i do in fact love canon so much.

I absolutely adore adrien but now hes nothing but a plain boy that the narrative sometimes remembers and just throw something on him to make him at least a bit special.

Do the Vees represent different types of media? Because what I’ve got is

Vox = News Media

Velvette = Social Media

and

Valentino = P0rn Media

If that isn’t what Viv went with then that’s sad because I thought that’d be pretty cool ngl

Helluva Boss AU where, Loona is just a regular husky dog.

Blitzø was about to leave the victim’s home after killing them but hears a whimper, he turns around and sees a husky that looked afraid. Blitzø walks towards the dog (because it’s a cute dog and he wants to pet it) then notices how the dog would cower in fear and had its ears pulled back.

Blitzø then realizes that the poor husky wasn’t loved by the victim he just killed, so he took in the husky and renamed the husky, Loona.

(+ AU of Loona being a service animal.)

(+ AU where if you take a normal earth being to hell, it will have a slow painful transformation if it stays there for too long.)

After learning how awful the ending of BNHA is, I’m glad I dropped the series years ago. Horikoshi points out the corruption and apathy of Hero Society, giving us insight into how cruel it was. We saw how people become villains to survive and seek revenge against the society that caused them to take this path.

Hero Society discarded those who failed to fit into its definition of “normal” and did not get the help they needed, as represented by the League of Villains. Throughout BNHA, the narrative keeps speaking about heroes needing to reach out to villains and help them. Instead of imprisoning or killing them, give them a chance to be redeemed.

It appears that Izuku, Uraraka, and Shouto will save Tomura, Toga, and Touya. As a result, Class 1-A and the reformed villains will rebuild Hero Society, leading the change and bridging the divide between heroes and villains. However, none of this happens.

Instead, Tomura and Toga die. Touya is trapped in a tank and is forced to stay alive against his will. Hero Society imprisons both Mr. Compress and Spinner. Class 1-A accepts that they couldn’t “save” the League of Villains because heroes are unable to save everyone and become heroes who uphold the corrupt status quo. Everything leading up to a massive change in Hero Society is rendered meaningless because, in the end, everything returns to how it was before.

Horikoshi wastes the reader’s time by establishing a message that his story fails to follow through on. Why speak about the problems of Hero Society and the harm it perpetuates when nothing changes? Why have multiple characters suffer and make it seem like they’re going to be saved, only to either die or end up imprisoned?

BNHA genuinely had the potential to be an interesting story, but it was squandered into a meaningless mess by an awful writer who wasted numerous people’s time.

[averagemoxxiestan]

Ugghh been consuming some bnha stuff and I'm reminded of why I largely prefer fanfiction over the actual story. I have so much hate and pettiness within me. Even so, I am never going to change my mind on how much I hate how bnha is just an amalgamation of wasted potention. Search the definition of wasted potential up and there's just an image of bnha.

I remember watching it as the first season was coming about because it was made by Bones and I just have to watch it in that case. I watched episode one and was so excited.

We have our mc, Midoriya Izuku, being powerless in a world full of quirks.

His childhood friend turned bully, Bakugou Katsuki, is shown to be favoured by literally everyone and this feeds into his ego.

All Might, the number one hero, is jaded and powerless for 21 hours of the day because of a fight nobody knew existed. Izuku is attacked and helpless, but saved by All Might. All Might tells him he can't become a hero. A much needed reality check because Izuku didn't work out a single bit before then and it's so incredibly hard to fight someone who has something you lack.

Then Bakugou is attacked and helpless. Bakugou, who is so much stronger and who people love, is left useless, only able to make the situation worse with his explosions creating a fire hazard. The pro-heroes can't do anything. All Might and Izuku both hate themselves for the part they played and how useless they are. Then Izuku sees how scared Bakugou is. He runs in, inspiring All Might as he mocks himself for breaking Izuku's dream yet forgetting the core of heroism.

Then, after all is said and done, All Might goes back to Izuku. And he tells him he can become a hero.

...

Then he offers him One for All. Now, when I was watching this for the first time, I was so disappointed. You set up a powerless mc in a world full of powers and you just give him the power of the strongest hero? Great. But, I kept watching.

I watched Izuku work to get his power, struggle even after getting a quirk. I watched as Izuku finally stood up for himself and win against Bakugou. I watched as the series went on and I... I started noticing more and more missed opportunities.

See, bnha is supposed to be a zero to hero story. It's supposed to be about the mc going from powerless to powerful. But it does it so quickly. Suddenly, it's not about Izuku finding his own form of strength, or realising how being quirkless may not give any advantages but it also has no disadvantages, or even any commentary on quirk discrimination or fantastic racism or anything.

It turns into a story about controlling your power. It's not what I signed up for.

That's just one missed potential. There's so many more. Horikoshi clearly tries to make some commentary on quirk discrimination and female heroes/sexism in the workplace and entertainment over peace. There's some effort put into making a comment on how heroes are glorified and people don't see them as public workers, they see them as celebreties.

But it's never delved into. We don't see how bad people with mutant or 'villainous' quirks are treated, and we don't see how people with weak quirks are treated, or how the quirkless are treated (because the only reason Izuku was treated so horribly was because of Bakugou). We don't see how female heroes need to have a bit of allure in their personas to have any sort of support.

Yuuei is literally a camp for making child soldiers, yet there's no controversy over it? There's no such things as heroes having to take lethal action and no moral dilemmas over it? There's nobody speaking out about how Midnight flirts with students?

We have literally no information about how heroes work. We don't know how their salaries are decided, how they're ranked, how undergound heroes work. if twilight heroes are a thing, how anybody but Rock Lock feels about bringing children into adult matters, (seriously, why do people hate Rock Lock for being rightfully worried about having 15 year olds in a raid against the yakuza), we don't know how villains work and how to decide if one's a criminal or a villain.

Heck, the only laws we know of are fanon, and the canon stupid idea that you can't use your quirk in self-defense.

It's just. Incredibly infuriating.

Also, analysis as a whole is so under-utilised. Both Izuku and Shigaraki are deemed creepy for their analysis, which is such a useful tool. I mean, Izuku accurately guesses Stain's quirk, which is useful because, otherwise, they wouldn't be wary about Stain licking their blood or cutting them. Shigaraki accurately guesses the time intervals between Aizawa's blinks, which helps him a shit ton.

But is it ever used outside of these situations? No. The thing is, quirks are scientific in nature, not magic. Therefore, they're not restricted like magic is. Fire doesn't always have to be fire, it can be smoke or just heat. Ice can be water or steam. Acid can melt through anything or just be used as a mario kart banana peel.

There was so much missed potential and that's exactly why there's so much fan content.

Horikoshi leaves so much out, and everything he misses tends to be the interesting parts. He willfully explains Bakugou's quirk in detail, but everyone else? Nah. Fuck them.

I mean, let's look at Ochako's quirk.

Gravity negation. Or is it? See, if it were just gravity negation, then two things, in particular, would happen. First of all, Izuku would have fucking died when she saved him from falling. Second of all, she would not have been able to get infinity in the ball throw.

Negating gravity does not negate the forces. Therefore, when she saved Izuku from falling, he would have still been affected by the force of his fall. It would have been no different from hitting the concrete. Additionally, when she threw the ball, it kept going. Air drag would have made it so that she couldn't possibly get an infinity.

More accurately, rather than force negation as some fanfics suggests, she's telekinetically accelerating whatever she touches. She telekinetically accelerates Izuku's body to stop him falling, and does the reverse for the ball, making it so that it continues to accelerate after she throws it.

See what I mean? Because Horikoshi gave Bakugou's quirk a scientific explanation with him sweating a nitroglycerin-like substance and being able to spark it, you have to look at every quirk with scientific knowledge. He could have said 'oh, yeah, I store energy from my quirk in these gauntlets' but Hori just had to be a smartass.

By the way, because of Bakugou's explanation, it's possible that his quirk is not what is named. Yes, it's possible to have two sides of a quirk, as we see in Shouto, but Bakugou's quirk isn't explained in the same way.

Rather than his quirk being creating explosions, his quirk is more like creating sparks in his palms. Why? Well, you see. Bnha never delves into actual quirk theory, but there's more than enough canon evidence that you have one main quirk and then one or more quirk mutations. For example, Ashido Mina's quirk is secreting acid that she can manipulate the acidity and viscocity of. Her appearance is not related to her quirk at all, meaning it's a quirk mutation from her parents. Same with Tokoyami Fumikage. Quirk is Dark Shadow, so there's no need for the bird head.

Why does this relate to Bakugou? Let me explain: Bakugou explains that he recieved a mutation from his parents with his mother secreting glycerin and his father sweating acid with combustive properties. In other words, Bakugou inherited nitroglycerin-like sweat from his parents, but his actual quirk is being able to create sparks.

His quirk is 'Sparks'. Not Explosions.

Why am I ranting about this? Because bnha completely misses all of this! It makes no sense which is a shame because the concept is so interesting! But then it throws away any scraps of potential left when it becomes 'My Kacchan Academia'.

Seriously, why do people and why does Horikoshi love abusive pieces of shit so much? Why did he throw away the potential to look into Shouto and his siblings' feeling about Endeavour? Why did he make Dabi's plot all about Endeavour instead of Shouto?

It's so easy to compare the ways Dabi and Shouto handle their trauma and their ways of revenge. It's so easy to look at Dabi and think about how easy it would have been for Shouto to become like him.

Shouto was transfixed on Endeavour. Everything he did related back to his hate for Endeavour. Using his quirk, fighting, grades, social interaction, everything. His only reason for becoming a hero is to spite Endeavour. It's only because Izuku reaches out to him and saves him from his own toxic mindset that he's able to move one and do things for himself.

Dabi, or Touya, on the other hand, doesn't get that. He doesn't get that person who recognises how far he's gone, how, in trying to spite Enveavour, he's living a life centred on him. How he's jealous of his little brother for being abused and tormented.

While Shouto became a hero to spite Endeavour, Dabi became a villain.

They're both full of hatred at first, but Shouto is saved from that spiral. Izuku helps him. Dabi doesn't have that. It would have been so interesting to see these two face of as parellels, but nope. It's all about Endeavour. Shouto is nothing more than an accessory.

I understand Dabi being hung up on Endeavour, but to outright replace Shouto with the abusive flaming trashbag? No.

Also, if Horikoshi wanted Dabi to be seen as sympathetic or redeemable, don't make him kill innocent people. Don't make it so that he unlocks an ice aspect to his quirk in a life-or-death situation because all that means is that Endeavour was right to hurt Touya the way he did. All that says is Endeavour should have hurt him more.

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON BAKUGOU.

This piece of shit bullied Izuku relentlessly for years, used his quirk on him (yes that is canon), told him to end his life, tried to assault him in Yuuei, tried to kill him, threw a tantrum at an abused kid for not being magically okay with using a quirk that reminded him of his abusive father, assaults Izuku when he tries to work together but still magically gets a pass for being carried out unconcious which Sero was failed for, and the list just keeps growing.

Oh, but my bad. He has a sad backstory. You see, he fell in a river.
