#i haven't watched this show in 4 years

[kazykatlady]

I've seen a lot of people shitting on Adrien's orange shoes, so I thought that I should share why those shoes deserve more appreciation.The shoes actually show a lot about what Adrien's dream in life is and how he can be pretty rebellious at times.

Throughout the show Adrien is trying to become his own person. We see this a lot during the show especially when he is Chat Noir. This and wanting to experience stuff like normal kids his age is the whole reason that he started going to school, met the other characters, and got his miraculous by helping Master Fu. He always had to do whatever his father approved of (or demands). Until his father allowed him to be able to live a normal life.A normal life where he doesn't have to match his shoes to his outfit. A normal life where his father isn't a famous fashion designer. But he's also testing how much individuality will let slide. So what is a subtle part of his outfit that no one will notice doesn't match that well with his clothing, if they aren't a fashion designer or looking for it? His shoes.He CHOSE to wear those bright orange shoes in order to express himself. In order to be what he viewed as 'normal'. A way to make this dream of being a normal boy with a normal life. A way to be himself. Everyone else gets to be themselves Why can't he be like them? Why can't he just have a normal life with normal parents and a normal house and normal clothes and a normal childhood and a normal ANYTHING? HE DIDN'T ASK FOR A FAMOUS DAD! HE DIDN'T ASK A MOM THAT DISAPPEARED OR TO HAVE TO BE PERFECT AT EVERY-FUCKING-THING! HE JUST WANTED A LOVING FAMILY AND A AVERAGE LIFE! But he can't have that. And he definitely can't voice any of that because that would be selfish. He can't tell anyone that because then he would just be another spoiled rich kid that almost no one likes like Chloe. And he can't lose the only thing- the only people that make him feel like he has autonomy. Like he has a chance of being his own individual that doesn't have to stretch that individuality with the lone action of warning orange shoes that don't go with his outfit at all. Not only does this bring up his views of whether he has a chance to make his own choices and get a taste of normal life, but it could also be a way of having some teenage rebellion against his father. We know he's capable of being rebellious. We can clearly see that in many episodes like the one with his birthday party. Obviously his father being a world famous designer means that he has to be the 'perfect' son. That's why his life is so planned out and sheltered. He has to look flawless at all times. But his shoes don't match. The clash with everything he wears. Those orange shoes are the last thing that the public expects him in. That his father expects him in. He's the son of one of the if not the most famous fashion designer in France. He knows that those shoes don't match. He knows what his father would think of him not upholding the Agreste name. Or tarnishing it in any kind of way no matter how small. He knows that one wrong move and he'll be looked away behind his bedroom door. That he would never be allowed to leave the house again except for photo shoots and PR. So he has to do it subtly. So he chooses orange shoes. Him wearing his shoes is basically the polite equivalent of spitting in his father's mouth.

how i felt finishing season 4 of the next step:

[lucky-clover-gazette]

i feel like it might finally be time for that she ra rewatch

[obxfiles]

like let's be real; as much as we adore the show in its entirety, there's a huge majority of us who really just aren't as invested in any of the other characters as strongly as we've been with jj

[kaythefloppa]

I know that Wild Kratts is one of those shows where the main [human] characters don't age despite it still being a quasi-continuity driven show, but it does admittedly make me sad that the WK kids from the earlier seasons are now relegated to (presumably permanent) background cameos because of this.

[laugtherhyena]

Actually i think this is a good time to let you guys know i never watched Sdra2 chapter 4 in full

[vispera-sabbath]

FINALLY GOT TO "DELIVER US FROM EVIL." Of Miami vice S4 Ep: 21

[lovysmtalks]

I'm like, really trying to stay set on a book and finish it, so let's push past the like 4 books I haven't finished writing for almost 3 years! 😟

Hoping that in around a week's time I might finish the first chapter of the new book I'm working on, the chapter is already pretty long but I'm enjoying the plot I'm working with so in the worst case the book might end in like 100k+ words 😘 (I'm dying inside as English isn't my first language so many words are starting to repeat lmao.)

Anyways,

How would y'all feel about Marinette going in the military?

(ahem)

[witchern]
