#Season H8

[edwardsissyhandsthtdanceslikeabb]

i love how carmy is willing to blow up his relationship, completely change the restaurant and subject them all to psychological torture bc "this is what you wanted right?"

syd wants a star, she wants a worldclass restaurant and it doesn't matter if she wrecked things in season 1 or if she's green and overzealous or he thinks a star is silly, he wants success for her and it's a non-negotiable.

[hoh-windows]

I have decided to make my peace with Ch*ls** winning the season (if she doesn’t get sniped)- this season has given so much I’m gonna take the wins and if the victor ends up being a dark horse candidate instead then hell yeah all the more reason to celebrate

Time with you moves so slow, so quick

A pouring of love, so deep, so thick

Can it be bottled?

Any which way, please, to preserve it? How do I put some away for later?

How do I save that which must be enjoyed temporarily, seasonally? How do I savor my favorite flavor until the spice has reached its shelf date; how do I freeze the meal I waited for and will nonetheless wait for again?

I suppose some things are meant to be enjoyed fresh, and not again until you harvest in the new season.

Are all farmers filled with this anxiety through their prosperity? Do all farmers feel this blessed?

I h8 when you reach the covid season of a show

[blitzwhore]

So. Stolas is an alcoholic. That much is very clear at this point in the show and has been for a while now. He binge-drinks to cope with depression and with his life problems at large.

What's interesting is that he's far from the only character in Blitzø's life who is an alcoholic. In fact, substance abuse seems to be a recurring theme in the show. At least three other people Blitzø was or is really close with (potentially four, if we count his father) have struggled with substance abuse: Verosika, Barbie, and Fizz.

And the show has made a very clear point that both Verosika and Barbie have been in rehab. Not just that, but it's also emphasised that they're both still struggling with addiction (Verosika still drinks at her concerts, "clutches onto Beelzejuice bottles like they're the last cock in hell", and writes magazine articles about binge drinking being sexy; Barbie still peddles heroine, though not H8). Clearly, for both of them, this is an ongoing issue presently in the show.

So, with all of that being said, I recently saw someone theorise that, in a future season, Stolas is going to go to rehab, too.

I thought it was certainly a possibility, and one that I would personally love to see explored. So I've been thinking about it... and I remembered this:

The beginning of Unhappy Campers, and Blitzø breaking into rehab to go visit Barbie.

Now, I think a lot of people (myself included) felt surprised and a bit disappointed the first time we watched this episode, because our initial assumption was that Blitzø was trying to visit Stolas. It just made sense! Stolas was hospitalised right at the end of the previous episode and texted Blitzø that he could visit if he wanted to. (At this point, we also didn't know Blitzø had trauma surrounding visiting loved ones at hospitals). And suddenly they hit us with Blitzø seeking out Barbie out of the blue? So many of us were left wondering... why? Yeah, people have mentioned that maybe feeling like he could've lost Stolas prompted Blitzø to try to mend a different broken relationship, one that he felt he had more chances of fixing. But the timing, as well as the non-immediate revelation that it's Barbie he's looking for, is still... strikingly suspicious, isn't it?

And just now, after all this time, it hit me.

What if this is foreshadowing?

What if, all along, they were telling us Blitzø will visit Stolas at the hospital in the future... when Stolas is in rehab?

Tell me, what do you like so much about Lila, and do you like any of the canon ships in Miraculous?

this is rooted in "you had to be there in 2016-2018" mindset in which the fandom was popping, we were young and innocent and full of zeal. and we sat thru the airing season 1 only for volpina to be the last aired episode (since it aired out of order) and then we had to sit for 2 years in hiatus.

how do i summarize this succinctly... with lila's appearance she had the potential to be the perfect marinette foil and anti-chloe. for example:

marinette: h8es lying but still has to lie for her identity. lila: wields lies but doesn't necessarily hurt anyone (in fanon, we were like she just did it to make friends).

chloe h8s marinette but loves LB. lila hates LB but could love marinette (with the assumption that we all thought mari would feel guilty post-volpina and try to make it up by being nice in civilian form)

those are both fun dynamics and the potential was mainly introduced via that one sorarts comic (and also this other one) and it was also the fuel for my biggest ML longfic (apparently The lilanette fic, at least at one point idk if it still is)

anyway that became like a whole thing where i started lilanette week and have run it a total of 7 times over like 7-8 years? so i was really in it. made a lot of friends, collabed on projects, i even did a lilanette secret santa?? it was the crux of my participation in ML fandom (and the reason why im friends with one of my best internet homies) and infinitely more compelling than "those two were made for each other" pathetic white bread.

EVEN when lila wasn't an UWU-lies-for-friends-because-insecure and she was a snake, it was interesting to have scenarios where marinette might need to reluctantly rely on lila for whatever reason. and in the end, any potential for her to become interesting was smashed just as astruc smashed any potential for anything in his show so it is sad. and i keep coming back every once in awhile out of nostalgia, and also spite.

canon ships? there's a universe where the love square is good and interesting, same with alya/nino but we don't live in that universe so they are bad and i don't like them as presented in canon.

[justchillandshipit]

I read an article where Tim was interviewed, and it mentioned how scripts are written within a couple of weeks of filming. Was there a change throughout season 7 that indicates he is now more interested in telling a Tommy/Buck story? No hatefulness. It's okay to not like every ship. I have my preferences too, but no H8 please.

          casey  wasn't  the  easiest  person  to  approach.  he  wasn't  exactly  unwelcoming  and  cold,  but  he  wasn't  a  social  butterfly  either,  typically  keeping  to  himself  and  avoiding  social  interactions,  a  resting  nonchalant  expression  that  always  seemed  like  he  was  bored  one  way  or  another.  if  someone  was  willing  to  start  a  conversation  with  him  considering  more  than  half  of  the  time,  it  looked  like  he  had  eaten  a  box  full  popeyes  biscuits  with  no  drink,  then,  well...  they  were  worthy  of  his  attention.  he  could  be  very  playful  and  witty  when  you  got  to  know  him,  but  it  rarely  ever  got  to  that  point  with  most  people.  “oh,  you  get  chatty  after  a  few  drinks?  did  you  pregame  before  this  or?”  he's  teasing  the  other,  as  there  is  really  no  malicious  intent  hidden  in  his  voice.  casey  could  easily  roast  anyone,  but  it  was  all  in  good  fun.  if  he  didn't  playfully  bully  you  one  way  or  another,  none  of  it  was  real.  “well,  it's  nice  to  finally  get  the  name  of  my  actual  date.  i'm  casey.”  his  following  words  have  him  scratching  his  head,  scrunching  up  his  nose.  “yeah,  so  this  might  sound  pretty  sad  and  borderline  he's  secretly  a  serial  killer  vibes,  but  i  don't  go  out  much.  or  like,  at  all.”  he  pauses  for  a  second.  “i  mean,  i  go  out  in  the  sense  of  like...  groceries,  and  errands  and  all  of  that,  but  go  out,  recreationally?  not  really.  i  don't  really  have  friends.  not  by  choice,  but  i  just  moved  here  and  it's  freaking  hard  to  meet  anyone  in  a  big  city  unless  you've  properly  attended  school  here,  which  i  haven't.  also,  i'm  usually  always  trying  to  work,  but  i  haven't  been  able  to  write  even  a  god  damn  predicate  in  weeks,  so  i  thought  maybe  if  i  go  out  and  attempt  to  not  be  an  antisocial  loser,  i'll  somehow  find  muse  in  the  middle  of  it  all,”  he  taps  his  fingers  against  the  table,  “but  instead  i  was  found  by  a  guy  looking  for  a  pretend  date,  so...  here  i  am.  long  story  short?  you  haven't  seen  me  around  because  i  haven't  been  around  until  very  recently.  also,  your  chattiness  is  rubbing  off  on  me,  so  kudos  to  you  for  that.”  he  never  usually  ranted  the  way  he  just  had,  but  it  felt  good  to  just  talk  to  someone  who  wasn't  his  publicist  or  a  family  member.

it seemed as though zane was typically a target for oddballs given how welcoming he strived to be , his warm nature often leading him directly into a scenario that made him squirm . the unexpected kindness of a stranger managed to spare him tonight , attention shifting from the figure walking away to the new face in front of him . " my friends are adamant on setting me up on dates with people they know — zero hits , all misses — so i blew off their suggested blind date last night . now they'll think i was with you . " broad shoulders rise in a nonchalant shrug , refusing to dwell on the topic unless pressed . " what they don't know won't hurt them . " finds himself relieved once his invitation is accepted , donning a boyish grin that's essentially his signature . " you have yourself a deal if you're willing to put up with me after a few drinks . i get quite chatty . i might talk your ear off and send you home with a headache . " truthfully , there was little difference between sober and inebriated when it came to zane and his desire for a flow of conversation . " i should probably tell you my name since we're on a date , right ? it's zane . " the center of his brow furrows . " i don't think i've ever seen you here before . "
