Hi I’m gonna Lilapost real quick. Literally no matter what I do I can’t see Will’s outerwear as anything but a bathrobe. Like he’s got some jeans and something like a polo and then a bathrobe.

He’s in his cozy robe fit for his day of manipulation and treachery

DON’T SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT STEAL CONTENT FROM OTHERS.

IT WON’T RUIN THEIR LIFE TO CALL THEM OUT AND TELL THEM THEY’RE DOING SOMETHING SHITTY.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY’RE YOUR FRIEND.

is supporting that kinda shit really worth the tumblr bonus points to you?

AND DON’T JUST?? SAY  “OH I HOPE THIS WILL BLOW OVER SOON”?? 

you’re saying you want every editor to just forget they’re getting their content stolen and let this shit continue? you expect us to just let it die?? 

well, surprise - i run on spite so reading that line pushed me over the edge.

- go check coffee-bean-boi for your gifs and edits. look closely on some, because she tends to use screenshots of gifs too.

hi more miraculous ladybug thoughts, this time about chloe and marinette and why i really like that ship (though generally my favorite ml ship is big poly mess)

you ever think about how similar cloe and marinette really are? the pettiness, the jealousy, the obsessiveness, the manipulation-- marinette doesnt manipulate people as often as chloe and she doesnt go after her parents but gosh she can be really manipulative at times. see: basically any episode she gets jealous of adrien. ignoring chloe's actually good advice about vanisher, the way she treated kagami on the scavenger hunt thing, etc etc. like, in a sense, i can kind of understand how it was so easy for lila to get the class to distrust marinette because there is a grain of truth in there! (oh i need to do a lilapost too at some point :O)

like, they're super similar people deep down it seems to me. the main difference is that cloe has audrey bourgeois who's been really really bad for her, where marinette has in a sense two mayor bourgeoises for parents? tom and sabine are doting and permissive and sweet and the mayor seems the same way, right? the difference is that cloe learned from her mom to coldly take advantage of that where marinette learned to be more like that.

consider too how much progress chloe seemed to be making in becoming a better more thoughtful person instead of just thoughtlessly and desperately seeking attention (it doesnt matter if they hate you if they all say your name, natch.) right up until marinette got chloe's mom to stay. in marinettes mind, like, helping chloe reconcile with her mom was a good thing but gosh looking at it from my side its maybe the worst thing marinette could possibly do to chloe. chloe's mom is *awful* to her, and its really no wonder chloe behaves the way she does. shes hurting, her mom is horrifically emotionally abusive, and its just... chloe just wants to be loved. even if she denies it in an insecure, *i* know im great fuck all of you sort of way. she just wants people to notice her.

(sabrina clearly has a whole host of her own issues, god. that level of enabling is horrifying and i really worry about her)

what chloe needs in her life is someone who can guide her without rolling over at chloe's first sign of resistance. and this is where i make the case that *giving* chloe the bee miraculous would have been really good for her. see, think about how often tikki guides marinette to be less obsessive or less jealous or less vindictive. tikki being generally present has been really good and helpful for marinette, right?

if chloe had pollen just generally in her life, she would have a guide who can like help her be better! shed have someone who paid attention to her as, like, a big sister or mom or whatever! (idk what pollens like beyond that she generally seems chill) like a chloe who kept position of the bee miraculous would be given what she needs to grow, a chloe who has her mom back in her life is basically completely blocked from growing (how can she if the only way to make her mom pay attention to her seems to be imitation?)

anyway, i feel really bad for chloe as it stands in canon. queen bee was kind of her lifeline, and more and more often she was completely shut down by marinette. i dont want to make it sound like marinette was unreasonable in this, she *did* have alright reasons, and more than that her hypocrisy in her treatment of chloe as opposed to, say kagami (sure your identity isnt a secret but heres the dragon miraculous in a pinch anyway) is also understandable given chloe's treatment towards marinette-- but understandable doesnt mean that what shes doing isnt hurting chloe and perpetuating this antagonistic cycle between them. if marinette was really some kind of perfect everyday ladybug then shed be able to, if not forgive, then at least recognize her feelings towards chloe and the way they cloud her judgment and work to account for that, but marinette is painfully human. and so is chloe. and its tragic.

double anyway i think chloenette is a very fun and dramatic ship with a lot of great potential for interesting stories.

Gaia Girace (Lila Lamicageniale) is having a hot girl summer in Bali

This wouldn't have fixed Lila but it might have gotten certain things through Lenù's thick skull

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

What a tour de force. It's tempting to invoke "suspiciously aphobic and possibly terfy" on Lila here, but I think that's an injustice to this admittedly concerning-to-offensive passage's descriptive power, even though diegetically it's supposed to be a bad paraphrase of something she said decades before.

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

She's just like me fr
