being so brave today (rereading my own writing)

My favourite thing about being in the Miraculous fandom is seeing all the confused replies on posts from people who dipped a long time ago.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN ML"

Dude

My buddy

My brother in Christ

We have no idea either, and that's the point.

Our fandoms elected mascot is a tiny cat gremlin who scarfs down cheese and also is a biblically accurate eldritch God of chaos and destruction.

Nothing makes sense here even when it does. :))))

I’m also thinking about how Hennessy literally dreamt up a version of her without all the trauma (or at least the biggest trauma) and watched right in front of her eyes all the potential she had and lived with it for years :)

I'm sure most of us have these scenes burned into our brains, but at :38 you can hear him strongly imply he's been in a situation like this before (just that it happened in the Fade, for some reason, don't think too hard abt it, Lavellan)

underappreciated moments: the ability to apologise or affirm solas’s interest when he’s hesitant in the wake of your first kiss.

completely disregarding retcons/errors from HoO, aka the series full of both internal and external inconsistency, I wanna talk about Luke cause it is literally a constantly battle in the fandom of what the hell is up with Luke. And as somebody who likes to rattle Luke around like a six year old with a headless barbie I would like people to stop yelling about misinterpreting a very simple scene after like 15 years.

So here's my breakdown. it's quite simple: Yes, when Luke was dying, he was asking if Annabeth was in love with him romantically. This has absolutely nothing to do with Luke's own feelings. Luke very explicitly did NOT love Annabeth romantically. This is established many times over. Seriously go read Demigod Diaries or something.

Luke was asking if Annabeth was in love with him because he had already caused her so much pain, he couldn't die peacefully if he knew he was about to break her heart on top of it all. He wasn't implying he had any thoughts of reciprocating it. He was just asking permission from Annabeth to die, through the lens of "Will it absolutely ruin your life right now if I kick the bucket?" because if it was going to, then he wouldn't want to. Annabeth reassured him she'd be fine if he died and he went "alright cool peace out ✌️." It was not at all related to Luke's own feelings towards Annabeth. Her opinion of him mattered, mostly in "I care if you will be hurt by this," but he did not feel romantically towards her.

Now HoO has one (1) line that implies Luke did like Annabeth, but HoO also gets Literally Everything Wrong, including making simple errors within like 3 chapters of itself, and given it is retroactive, regardless we can pretty definitively disregard it.

Also like, the meta reason for that scene, and also the Rachel scenes like two minutes later is entirely to clear the air for Percabeth to happen. Like, it's literally just to have an excuse for Annabeth go to "No I conveniently don't have any hang-ups about previous romantic feelings I didn't have that may impede me dating the protagonist" followed immediately by Rachel going "Percy btw as your secondary love interest: I am explicitly unavailable now. Go date Annabeth." Like that's the other purpose there and why those scenes follow each other at the end of TLO. It's just wrapping up loose ends for the romance subplot and confirming that the tension between Luke and Percy in Annabeth's life that Percy had built up was not real and didn't need to be further addressed.

AND IF U KICK OUT ALL BLACK WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY, THEN WHO IS GONNA RUN AOT TUMBLR, @tumblr ????

oh that’s not—IN THE SENSE THAT

[queenaeducan]

being a solas fan is fun bc there are some crimes where i'm like "he was right" and other crimes where i'm like "i literally don't care that he did that" and other crimes where i'm like "you make it so hard to love you sometimes" and the line is completely arbitrary. sometimes murder is the worst and sometimes it's tuesday.

So....what do you guys think their transformation/detransfomation phrases are gonna be?

Listen, if Trash Moth got a milquetoast edgy one like "Dark Wings Rise/Fall", Shadybug and Claw Noir need new ones.

Please Zag, I need the cringiest ones ya got. I need my soul to leave my body from the cringe.

I didn’t have energy to write it out when it happened like weeks ago but I turned around for TWO SEC to help another student and another one of my students comes and goes “look teacher, I cut my hair!” and in my head I was like WTF WHY DID U DO THAT HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS TO UR GRANDMA but she was like “my hair was bothering me in my eyes so I just cut it” and I was like ohhhh “okay cool, glad ur feeling better, but next time you wanna cut ur hair or you feel it bothering you come tell me and we’ll figure something else out okay?” and she was like okay! And walked away like she didn’t just messily chop off her front hair pieces

Like props to her for exercising her autonomy and everything but I’m pretty sure her grandma had a heart attack that day when she came home from school <3

a re-read of Friends Like These got me emotional and decided to throw my (somewhat benevolent) rottmnt oc, Charlie, at Timothy for human friend/machine shop TA support.

Timothy is @pinetreevillain ‘s son and was only abducted momentarily for another doodle with heavy duty machinery.

PS: dealing with CNC ghosts is a mechanical engineering right of passage (and so is having a kooky TA that claims to hear the voices in their head). Might do more of Charlie later?
