#kwami's can't fall in love MY ASS

love cheesecake so much fr they mean everything to me (aka plikki)

Okay I can see why people are bummed about certain parts of the Season 5 finale, but it was genuinely??? So good??? Like it was not bad at all, it's wild to me that people are calling the whole thing terrible because of like. Two plot points.

Spoilers and thoughts under the cut (in no particular order):

I fucking loved the Bug Noire design, her eyes were so COOL LOOKING

The classmates all getting their kwamis back STOP 😭😭😭😭 Wayzz and Trixx get to hang out all the time now that's so cute I'm gonna die.

I need an entire episode about what the fuck Jagged Stone, Penny, and Luka were up to because WHAT WAS THAT?

Loved getting to see the other heroes again, it was a nice change of pace

GOD TIKKI AND PLAGG??? WHAT?? The lighting in that scene was so pretty 10/10

I'm glad Gabriel fucking died he deserved it 🖕

Following that, I truly think that if Gabriel's plea had come even one season ago, I would have felt more sympathy for him. I felt none. I was rolling my eyes while he was crying. You locked your son in a literal prison Gabe. You are beyond redemption.

Really liked the parallel of this episode with Ladybug fighting w/o Chat while the classmates help out and the episode Representation, where Chat was fighting w/o Ladybug and the classmates were helping out. Not QUITE the same, but I'm glad we did get a fairly Chat-centric episode before the finale

Adrien absolutely deserves to know that his father was Hawkmoth. But he's also had like. The SHITTIEST fucking life the last year or two. His mom fucking died, his dad stopped being a dad, he was overworked, never allowed to see friends, was a whole ass superhero on top of that, and then his father sent him to a different fucking country so he couldn't be with his girlfriend. And then said father DIES and suddenly his mom is magically alive and Nathalie isn't on deaths door??? Yeah, I'd give him some time to process and just be a kid for once too. He is definitely going to find out, and when it does it'll be angsty and I will enjoy it

I really hope they don't drag out the Lila plot five more seasons. This show has fallen victim to the "too many seasons" problem and at this point I'm mostly in it for the kwamis and the classmates relationships lol

God poor Nooroo can't catch a break 😭

While I was low-key hoping for a reveal, it would have felt really forced and out of place given that Chat Noir literally didn't show up until the very end of the season finale, so I'm glad they didn't shoehorn it in

Alya. Round of a fucking plause for Alya please and thank you. Also please I need more of her and Plagg they were adorable the way he went to her for help when he couldn't find Marinette

Actually round of applause for all the classmates trying their damnedest to keep the city from falling to chaos I love them all so much together

Love that these kids have just fully accepted that their principal is a little wacky and they continue to include him

BABY BUSTIER I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

Marinette was so fucking snappy and good with the comebacks during her fight with Gabriel it was fantastic

Also the way she reacted to seeing him as Gabriel was INSANE the animators did such a good job with that

Back to Alya for a hot sec, the way she looked at Nino during the classmates group hug was so soft 😭❤️

Adrien understanding that he was at high risk of hurting the world as Chat Noir and being under the influence of nightmares is such a mature move. Alya realizing the same thing? God give them more SCENES together

Once again. TIKKI AND PLAGG???? TF???

In conclusion:

The finale wasn't bad, you guys are just upset there wasn't a reveal and that Adrien still doesn't know his dad was a literal terrorist. Which is valid, you can be upset about it, but the rest of the finale was pretty damn satisfying and it's a disservice to the crew who worked on it to just dismiss it entirely.

[gitcheegitcheegoomeansily]

it'd only be fair if my kwami swap au happened in all the different directions, right?

i kinda want emilie to be the butterfly user instead of gabriel. nathalie would be the one in the coma.

emilie and nathalie are the sort of friends that make you feel nauseated by how they act with each other (but bc they're just that fucking cute). like childhood best friends with such a high dependence on each other that they're each other's emergency contact, most frequently texted person, "oh [insert name] would love this i should get this", blah blah blah (basically they fucking love each other deeply). so when emilie finds out she's infertile, after some discussion and a Lot of thinking, nathalie agrees to be a surrogate. she doesn't want to raise a child, she's known this for years, but emilie has been dreaming of being a mother for years, and gabriel has drunkenly admitted that he'd probably cry (of joy) if he had a child. also she's morbidly curious about pregnancy. and she wants to be an aunt so fucking bad, goddamnit.

childbirth goes like how you'd expect it to, with alive nathalie and alive adrien. for like seven years, emilie, gabe and aunt nathalie raise this beautiful little child, researching the miraculi in between bc of emilie's curiousity and the fact that it tickles gabriel's fashion brain delightfully and fulfills nathalie's childhood dreams of travelling. the four of them travel a lot. anyway, emilie and nathalie (as like a fun side-trip) find the peacock and butterfly by accident but smtg goes very wrong and nathalie is caught in the crossfire. in a last ditch attempt to save nathalie, emilie puts the peacock miraculous on nathalie (maybe the butterfly is locked up or smtg), and nathalie chokes out the words. it works.

nathalie makes it to a hospital, but it turns out the usage of the very broken peacock miraculous makes you weak and she falls into a coma.

blah blah, some more backstory, emilie and gabriel have a fight, they move back to paris, emilie researches ways to fix this, blah blah, and eventually, years later, psyché is borne, hunting élytres and miss fortune for their miraculous.

as for gabriel, he wants nothing to do with magic. magic got nathalie dead. he just sort of turns a blind eye to emilie's butterfly adventures and other assorted crimes and throws himself into his work. he's guilty, he's so guilty, and he finds his release in his art. eventually, he does become the peacock user but that's a little iffy

like canon, adrien ends up falling to the wayside in this lonely ass house. i mean, his parents are around (never together, and when they are, they're fighting/passive-aggressive) and they talk to him occasionally, but y'know when it's not really neglect or abuse but you as a child can't help but feel something is wrong? yeah, it's like that. a lot of parents-who-should-be-divorced vibes. they are also deeply overprotective

on a bigger scale, the miracle box ends up in the butterfly's hands. how? idk, haven't thought that far into this au. probably grieving emilie trying to find any way to save her best friend and committing b&e? or smtg else idk.

as for the lb and cn miraculi, they'd be "lost" bc of master fu (he jsut sort of releases them into the wild just to be safe). also master fu would have the grimoire, and out of worry, he releases guardianship of the miracle box to whoever the wielders of the ladybug/black cat miraculi are (operating on a "whoever finds the box and claims it first" scale).

Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie Review

Will Include Spoilers So Be Warned!

Where do I start there is so many conflictions in this movie for me. First being could have sworn last year was called the awakening but when you look it up I swear it is listed as above "The Movie" well that was plain lame. Anyways lets see if I can break this down into parts might be a better thing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladybug/Marinette

I honestly missed her clumsiness around Adrien it was weird not having it. She was able to walk right up to him and ask him out and just spend time practically falling in love with him and even touching his hand thanks to tikki's help yet she didn't freak out and pull away. The closest clumsy scene you get is the day she meets him and she fumbles on to the bookcase. The way she led cat noir on with the song and sounding like she was in love with him up until he confessed his feelings and then she shut him down WTF how cruel even for ladybug that was wrong. Soon as she saw how he felt in the show she turned him down telling him that there was another but not build him up than crush him. I didn't even much care for her singing voice either she really was more of a disappointment and I didn't love her as much as the original Marinette we have all grown to love.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cat Noir/Adrien

Ok don't mess with the kitty, like seriously he was like a whole different person from the Cat Noir flirty type we have grown to love. I mean Adrien was more flirtier and that was in his actions that cat noir like WHAT? Anyways the Ma'lady being cut from his vocabulary irritated me. He even came off as obnoxious as cat noir in the beginning with the whole side kick bullshit like cat noir has never been so cocky that I wanted to slap him before. Not only that but he really looked like a little kid and acted as one and yet the real cat noir is pretty sexy in how he comes off you forget his age :D He does have a good singing voice though I will give him that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luka

Practically was non existent and didn't have any lines like seriously even pain in the ass Chloe got lines but we didn't get luka WTF. Plus all his uniqueness drained away like he is just some little boy who decided to have blue hair for no freakin reason when it was always his identity, his personality, and who he was to the core which is why he had the whole rocker feel to him but not in this movie. Like look at this stupid difference and yes I chose mad Luka cause thats how I feel about this change.

Don't let me stop there go look up luka on sites for this movie and this is what you will see Are You Fucking Kidding Me!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladynoir/Adrienette

So I have always thought they were perfect together this movie gave me that at least but in such a weird rushed way I could barely enjoy it. Whether it was as ladynoir or adrienette either way we just didn't get to enjoy the ride. Not to mention the fact that they stole the kiss in the end and didn't even let us end with that being the ending. The fact that they changed how she fell for Adrien as well when we are so used to the umbrella being iconic just made me mad who cares about the stupid library. These scenes are iconic and can not be just changed the way they were.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kwami's

Nooroo seemed nothing like he did on the show like he seemed over sophisticated for a kwami and I don't know just didn't care for it.

Tikki - I will say this much she was pretty much like she was in the show I can't say I saw too many differences which I was thankful for. However was kinda blah when she showed up as an actual ladybug in the beginning.

Plagg - Ok this is normally my favorite kwami but let me tell you what I was irritated at how they portrayed him. First he shows up as a regular cat that felt off. After he spends the whole first part of meeting Adrien sitting around farting everywhere and eating molded cheese. Ok Camembert cheese does not look like food that has gone bad WTF.

Anyways on with my rant on plagg it says everywhere its the same voice actor but I swear it sounded nothing like Plagg like even his actions really irritated me too. I don't know but I missed my old Plagg I just missed his nasally sound when he talked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hawk Moth/Gabriel Agreste

So as far as his personality as Gabriel he seemed to actually love his son in the ending and stopped his bullshit the moment he realized it was Adrien. However we know in the show this wasn't even a thing because the alternate that happened and you saw him find out his son was Cat Noir he exploited him took how ring and used it to get to Ladybug showing not a damn bit of care for his son. Also they got him wrong making it seem like his love for his wife was everything and that he was doing it just to get her back yet in the show its the same but when Nathalie helps him and he has a way to do it he chooses to try to destroy ladybug and cat noir instead of saving the woman he supposedly loves. You get a father who cares in the movie but it just feels weird when its not real its almost like its fake.

Hawk Moth himself was ok I guess nothing really different the wings was kinda cool when was akumitized but thats all I got for him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also last but not least the transitioning effects I want to mention. So first being you see her guess in her mind with tikki when she first transforms however in the world she was standing on the street so technically wouldn't that mean she changed into ladybug in front of everyone or is that just over looked. Cat Noir his transition was so fast I barely knew it even happened like the transitions on the show are so cool and they just dropped like they were nothing. You only saw the lucky charm used once and it wasn't anything like were used too. Not to mention the fact that I waited for the whole saying she gives when she throws up and grabs the butterfly saying de-akumatize anyways that was lost as well as the throwing her lucky charm into the air and cleaning up the city another thing taken out. Also the repeat villians at a time instead of one at a time pushed this to also feel rushed.

This movie is really a hit or miss with me and I would just rather go watch season 5 the rest of it than watch this movie ever again. Also the one song I loved in the movie that I waited for when I first heard about it last year was cut from the movie since the french girl left its like are you kidding me they didn't think to lock that shit in so even if she left she couldn't take the song with her. It was a perfect song as well like seriously if you haven't heard it go listen it fits our wonderful couple so well. I will leave you with one last thing if you remember the movie being called the awakening its because it was but was dropped not long before the movie went live for some damn reason. Honestly I was really disappointed in this movie. I will tell you if this movie was how I had been introduced to Miraculous I would have turned it off and never watched it again.

This is the one that was done around the ones we know but still was supposed to be in the new movie so screw it this fits our ladybug and cat noir more anyways.

[dadplagg-mamatikki]

The happiness they bring me is more than a lot.

[dadplagg-mamatikki]

Thank you. I needed this in my life.

I love them so freaking much.

I made a huge post somewhere about it. No, wait, I added it to a post and just from a small one episode piece I explained how they are fantastic.

Plikki for the win.
