How does time and time travel work with the bunny miraculous?(an unbiased opinion)

In "Evolution", when Bunny Noir uses the bunny miraculous power multiple times, we discover that its power is not easily affected by the flow of regular time and can be used multiple times until the holder feels their ready to de-transform and give Fluff a break, as such, even the younger holders are not restricted by the one time use limitation before de-transforming.

 Unfortunately, this perk is not without its consequences as it is revealed that the holder will suffer side effects from using the bunny miraculous after a prolonged period of time, such as talking backwards temporarily. But aside from this, ��Evolution” had additionally provided more insight to how time and time travel works in this universe. 

    When Ladybug and Cat Noir are guided through the burrow to stop Monarch from obtaining the miraculous in the past, Monarch is at first unaware that the heroes were aided by future Bunnyx to capture him, but additionally becomes confused over why they were able to stop him, if he was the one who used the bunny miraculous to travel through time before anyone. After all, there was no one else in the burrow when he entered it, so naturally he took delight in believing he was now in full control of the burrow and could now travel through time without any interruptions. However, after he was forced back into the burrow, Bunnyx reveals that his understanding of such power is not how the burrow and the bunny miraculous work, calling him an amateur for believing time was now his alone to do what he wanted.

 Bunnyx states, “The burrow is like a car and we both got the key”, meaning that although Monarch possesses the bunny miraculous, it never meant he was the only one who could use the burrow to observe the various points in time and travel to them. The burrow(car) is a pocket dimension that can only be accessible through the bunny miraculous(key).

Bunnyx and Monarch both have the key to open the burrow because their is more than one bunny miraculous(key) capable of existing at the same time, without causing any major changes to the flow of time.

Back in "Timetagger", there were three bunny miraculous existing at the same time: one was with future Alix, but was damaged, the second was with young Alix and the third was in the miracle box back with Fu. Near the end of "Timetagger", future Bunnyx took two of the bunny miraculous: one was hers which would be taken back in time where she would raise an orphan(her descendant) and have it be passed down the family tree, until it would be once again left with her younger self in "Time Breaker", the other watch future Alix had would be likely left in the far distant future so it could be entrusted to a new holder, the day Alix was ready to retire.

But regardless of how many bunny miraculous are seen in the show, there can only be one Burrow for all of the holders to use, it is the one car they must all share to access the flow of time. So if a bunny miraculous holder is not in the burrow and is instead outside in the time stream again, then they just as easily become part of that time stream for the other bunny miraculous holder (who is still in the burrow) to control and work time around. Which is why in “Evolution, Bunnyx was able to locate, rewind and pull Monarch away from the moment in "Lady wifi", even while he came so close to taking Ladybugs earrings.

 If anyone doesn't have a key, aka the bunny miraculous, then they cant use the burrow, meaning they just stay trapped inside, limited to only looking through the many portals presenting various points in time from various streams. 

(IN “Cat Blanc”, Ladybug could see points in time but cant travel to them)

( In “Evolution”, If Monarch took future Alix's miraculous, then Ladybug and Cat Noir would remain trapped in the burrow.)

The car and key explanation was future Bunnyx's more simpler way of explaining how the power of the bunny miraculous works, however, her more in depth explanation better reveals what happened in previous episodes and how time and time travel is set up in their universe . 

According to future Bunnyx, “Time is like a river with multiple streams and the burrow is where they all come together." To put it simply, their flow of time is as she described, a river with multiple streams.

(An actual river with multiple streams as an example)

   The miraculous universe has a flowing river of time, however, there is also an infinite number of time streams flowing into it, these streams can be easily observed within the burrow in the various portals to see past, present and future events from various streams all at the same time, the burrow is after all, the one place where everything comes together. 

   Each of these streams timelines are not indifferent to each other, they all have the same series of events going on, and they must all have the same timeline in order to keep the flow of time on the right track and running smoothly. If any time travel is involved to change anything, then it will often times be for the better of things or simply be something that needed to and was going to happen to keep time in order. However, if Bunnyx detects an abnormal occurrence in the flow of time, she knows that something different happened in one stream to change the events of its timeline. This anomaly will inevitably flow into the rest of the streams if its not fixed. Each individual stream will gradually change into a new timeline, but the future is not yet set in stone so long as these changes have yet to fully alter their entire flow of time, their river.

 In "Cat Blanc", when Bunnyx took Ladybug to another portal in the burrow to face Cat Blanc, she took her to a point in time within another stream where the anomaly( which was Ladybug writing her real name on Adrien's gift) had already taken effect and led to the destruction of Paris and its citizens. 

When Bunnyx left Ladybug in one stream, her appearance in Cat Blanc's future gradually flowed into the other streams, which is why Bunnyx was able to switch from one portal to the other. Bunnyx could observe Ladybug and Cat Blanc in one stream, rewind to investigate the events before their fight, and then look into another portal where the same anomaly had already flowed into its timeline, in order to continue observing Ladybug and Cat Blanc’s fight.

However, just as we saw in "Time Tagger", when people were thrown into various points in the past, we see that the changes in the timeline of the streams are not necessarily instantaneous. Because there are so many streams, it does take a bit for any negative changes to become permanent, those changes could be severe or they could pose little to no threat to the flow of time. 

As Timetagger went rampant, the heroes noted the changes in history within the museum as a person was thrown into the past. The people Timetagger sent to the past did not yet pose much of a threat to the timeline, but the heroes needed to return them to the present rather than wait and see how their entire world would be fully altered as more people were sent to the past.

Each stream can still remain relatively the same but quickly change the more a major anomaly is left unresolved, which is why future Bunnyx was still able to exist in “Cat Blanc” despite her younger self being obliterated by Cat Blanc in other streams. 

Thanks to the bunny miraculous abilities, Future Bunnyx was unaffected by regular time and could remain in a state where she would always be the farthest down the river. Nothing bad happened to her yet as she remained in the burrow and attempted to resolve the anomaly that caused such a change to the other streams, but gradually, even she began to face the effects. 

She lost the toy she won in a bet against Rose and parts of her body were beginning to fade out of existence, time was catching up to her fast. But despite all of this, they still had a chance to fix everything, she didn't need to fix all the streams that were affected, she only needed to fix one stream that was altered by the anomaly, once that was done, those changes would gradually flow  into the rest of the streams, repairing the timelines and allowing the flow of time to return to its original course.

 But just like Bunnyx said at the beginning of "Cat Blanc", if Ladybug capturing the akuma failed to fix everything, then she had to be in the burrow to figure out another plan. When Bunnyx realized Marinette and Adrien discovering each others identities was what led to such a tragic event, she saw the portal in front of her fade out and display a static, hinting that something horrible happened in the streams timeline that led to its destruction,

this was of course, Cat Blanc obliterating the entire world with his power. As Bunnyx looked to the other portal, she watched in horror as it to had switched to a static image, and as she saw more and more portals change to the same image, she knew that something happened during Cat Blanc and Ladybugs fight that led to the destruction of the world, and in turn, the destruction of the stream. 

The destruction of the world had now gradually begun to flow into other streams, as a result, she could see other portals displaying the same static one after another, but not all at once. Bunnyx didn't realize yet what Cat Blanc was about to do until she continued to observe Ladybug and Cat Blanc fight in another portal where the stream had yet to disappear. Despite their worlds closing doom, there was still a chance to fix everything so long as the destruction of their world did not contaminate all the streams and reach their river of time. If it did, then everything would be over, the changes would be permanent, all the streams would cease to exist and Bunnyx would in turn cease to exist just like everything else.

Now, even though Ladybug did de-akumatize Cat Blanc, she and Bunnyx knew that even if the miraculous ladybugs repaired the world, Cat Noir would still remember who she was. Cat Noir remembering Ladybug's identity meant the anomaly was still present, and so long as it was, all the streams would continue to collapse.

Bunnyx didn't know what the anomaly was yet, but thankfully, Ladybug realized the anomaly was writing her real name on Adrien's gift. By erasing her name and by unleashing her miraculous ladybugs, the time line gradually began to repair itself. In turn, those changes, began to flow down towards the other streams, and towards their river, thus restoring the flow of time.

Ladybug could still remember the events of "Cat Blanc", despite it being repaired, simply because she wasn't left in the timeline to experience what led up to Cat Noirs akumatization. Ladybug was taken by Bunnyx to face Cat Blanc in another stream and helped figure out how to repair everything, this was now all she knew no matter what stream she was encountered in.

And so, in "Evolution", when Ladybug saw Monarch in one of the burrows portals, during her fight against Lady Wifi,  Ladybug says she doesn't remember Monarch appearing in the midst of such a moment, to which Bunnyx explains that its what WILL happen if they don't stop him. 

Bunnyx said at the beginning that traveling to the past can have serious consequences on the present, not the future, and this was mainly because she didn't know what would happen to the future yet. If Monarch achieved his goal of obtaining the ladybug and cat miraculous in the past, those changes would affect the present first, then the future if they left the anomaly (Monarch) unresolved. 

If the timeline of the one stream Monarch entered  were to be left alone, then those changes would of course affect the rest of the streams and gradually make its way down the river, endangering the natural flow of time and their entire worlds existence. Fortunately, they caught him before any tragedy could happen.

 Once the bunny miraculous was retrieved near the end of "Evolution", balance was achieved, the heroes retained the memory of fighting alongside Bunnyx, their fight against Monarch, and meeting Fu in the past, all without interfering with the timeline and causing any negative changes to the flow of time.

MLB Season 5 Character Analysis: "Evolution"

Introduction

Hey guys, I'm finally back with the season 5 character analyses. It's been a while. Now that season 5 is over I can finally create an outline of how the individual journeys of the characters went and point out the foreshadowing done for them. If you've never seen these posts before in your life, then here I basically take an episode of Miraculous and do individual analyses for the characters who had some form of development in that episode by looking at their motivations, behaviours and thought processes. After season 4 ended, I started this series to clear up the misunderstandings people have about the characters and show them why they acted the way they did. If you want to see those analyses, you can find them here.

Man, was this season full of juicy characterization. Evolution is a very appropriate title for the first episode of this season because that's what these characters do, they evolve, for better or worse. So many things to breakdown like Felix, Marinette's trauma, insight into Gabriel's past, etc. This episode alone gives us Gabriel's descent into madness, Nathalie realizing that Gabriel has gone mad and although it wasn't as big of a part of the episode, Ladybug finally being able to give control to Cat Noir instead of doing everything herself. So let's start shall we?

Character POVs

Gabriel/Monarch

"I won't let you destroy my future, Ladybug! I'll be right back my love, I promise."

I've haven't really done much analysis of Gabriel because there wasn't really much to go off on for his character besides the fact that he wants to bring his wife back. But this season gives us a lot more insight into his character. Makes sense this is the last season of his arc. So let's start with this episode.

This episode shows us just how far Gabriel has fallen from the man he once was. Back in season 1, all he wanted was to bring his wife back, but as he kept fighting Ladybug and Cat Noir, he developed a hatred towards and saving Emilie became less of a goal and more of just an excuse to keep being villainous. In his mind, he still believes that he does this to bring his family back to together but in reality, now he just wants to one-up Ladybug and prove to her that she can't fool him anymore. He has been losing to her for so long that it messed him up and now that he has all this power, he became overconfident which of course ended in his downfall, losing the Rabbit Miraculous along with Nathalie's respect and loyalty. This is only just the beginning of his downfall though.

2. Marinette/Ladybug

"It's you and me, remember?"

After having finally understanding that she needs to let go of control at the end of season 4, she was able to accept help from Cat Noir which allowed her to be comfortable to trust him with a Miraculous as powerful as the Rabbit.

Because of this, she and Cat Noir having become stronger together as a team, having resolved their miscommunication issues from last season and learning that they need to communicate which each other.

Being able to give up control to others may have been a reason she let Cat Noir use the Rabbit Miraculous but it isn't the only reason. She's still a little shook from losing all the Miraculous and doesn't trust herself anymore with holding onto them, blaming herself for their loss even though the situation was completely out of her control. We'll see more of this in the next episode.

3. Nathalie

"You had the Time Miraculous. You could've chosen to save Emilie! You could've chosen to save me! (coughs) But instead you chose your obsession with Ladybug and Cat Noir. You're insane, Gabriel!"

Last but not least, we have Nathalie finally breaking ties with Gabriel after seeing how far he has gone from the man he once was.

This whole time, ever since season 1, the only reason Nathalie was helping Gabriel was because she believed that Gabriel was doing this to save Emilie and he admired his dedication towards bringing his family back together. But over the course of the series, she began to see his increasing desperation and madness and when he chose to one-up Ladybug and Cat Noir over achieving his original goal of reviving Emilie, she knew that he wasn't doing this for Emilie anymore, which was the entire reason she helped in the first place and thus, she lost any respect and admiration he ever had for him and as we see in future episodes, attempt to protect Adrien from Gabriel and antagonize him but more on that in her other appearances.

Conclusion

This season was the beginning for a lot of things, Gabriel's descent into madness, a hint of Ladybug recovering from losing all the Miraculous and Nathalie realizing the monster Gabriel has began and trying to oppose his plans.

That was all for this analysis and I can't wait to get into future episodes and explore all the things this season has given us. It's truly going to be something. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to point out anything I might have missed for any of the characters this episode.

[myradiantlady]

Felix has a widow's peak.

This implies that Adrien also has a widow's peak.

Emilie doesn't have a widow's peak which means that Amelie doesn't have one either since they are identical twins.

However Gabriel does have a widow's peak.

I have no idea if this is significant (probably not), I just wanted to point this out.

[uptoolateart]

When Mr Kubdel lets Alix go on her time travel mission...that right there is the one father in the show not trying to own his child. Not only letting her do what she wants or must, but doing it even if it breaks his heart.

I mean, Gabriel is...Gabriel. But even Tom...right?? So what Alix’s father did there was...pretty amazing.

[floweryotter]

To my surprise, the first six chapters of ML season 5 are already in the latam spanish dub, so I'm rewatching them and I remembered that I never finished my Risk to Destruction timeline, I don't want spoilers beyond Transmission but, is there any reason to finish it? Is it relevant to understand the sequence of events?

Another thing that intrigues me is if something similar will happen later in the season, that is, if they'll show us the events in a disordered way and then illustrate what really happened…

As Benoit Blanc would say: "Compells me though..."

Evolution of Washington State Library Systems

By: EF, MB, ZG, CM

Introduction

With all of the challenges public libraries are facing in 2024, such as limited hours, staffing shortages, restricted budgets, book bans, and complete closures, we wanted to compare library branch statistics and see the overall evolution of libraries over the past twenty years. The 21st century brought with it a wave of change for libraries with the implementation of computers, online collections, and digital catalogs. These changes can be seen in the data libraries choose to record. For example, the 2001 dataset includes a column for the number of computers each library had, which for many was zero, a fact that would be considered unnecessary to add today. With this in mind, we examined different library datasets and decided upon Washington State Libraries.

Washington State Libraries (WSL) publishes data online from each library system and individual library branch in Washington State, starting from the year 2001. Using the datasets from 2001 and 2022, we aimed to study the growth and transformation of WSL over the 21-year period. We investigated if WSL has kept up with user needs and if the increase in population and registered users correlates with their holdings and offerings. In addition, we compared budgets and staffing to see if there has been adequate change over time, or if the library systems have remained static. With computers and digital resources starting to become more common in libraries in the early 2000s, we examined the difference twenty years can make in technology acquisitions.

Using different categories from the 2001 and 2022 datasets, we compared statistics pertaining to hours open, physical and digital collection size, physical circulations, digital circulations, staff salaries, full-time staff, MLS-certified staff, and registered users. By focusing on individual library systems and their respective branches, we assessed whether there has been positive change and growth in their library statistics and if budgets have appropriately increased with inflation.

Dataset

The dataset under examination is sourced from the Washington State Secretary of State's website, specifically within the Washington State Library Publications section. This section provides a comprehensive collection of data related to library operations, usage, and resources across the state. The datasets are part of the Washington State Libraries' efforts to maintain transparency and provide public access to detailed information about library services. Access to the datasets is provided through the following links:

Washington State Library Publications 

2000 Dataset 

2022 Dataset 

Data Collection and Acquisition Process

Data collection within the Washington State Library system involves a collaborative effort spanning various library branches throughout Washington State. Personnel across these branches engage in routine operations, including tracking circulation, monitoring registered users, and assessing staff resources, as part of their daily responsibilities. The data collected at individual branches are then forwarded to the Washington State Library, where it undergoes aggregation and consolidation by dedicated staff members.

Purpose of Data Collection

The datasets are part of the Washington State Libraries' annual expenditure and usage reports for the Legislative District and Congressional District Factsheets. These reports aim to provide a detailed overview of library operations and resource utilization to inform legislative and congressional decision-making. For our research purposes, we used the collected data to compare usage statistics and draw conclusions based on our findings. By comparing data spanning 21 years, we sought to uncover trends, patterns, and shifts in patron behavior and library operations.

Data Manipulation

No alterations have been made to the original datasets to maintain data integrity and adhere to assignment guidelines. Our analysis revolved around direct comparisons between corresponding data points from 2001 and 2022, primarily focusing on annual circulation, registered users, and library staff metrics.

Ethics

While the dataset provides a rich repository of information, it has limitations. Its focus on Washington State libraries may limit generalizability to other regions. The temporal span of the data may overlook short-term trends or episodic events influencing library usage patterns. To mitigate these limitations, we adopted a nuanced approach to analysis, recognizing biases and uncertainties inherent in the data. Triangulating our findings with supplementary data sources or employing sensitivity analyses enhanced the robustness and reliability of our conclusions. Moreover, fostering transparency in our research methodology and engaging in reflexivity regarding the dataset's constraints contributed to the integrity and credibility of our research outcomes.

Navigating ethical considerations in data analysis and interpretation is imperative to uphold integrity and accountability. Beyond safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations, ethical conduct encompasses transparency in research practices and respect for stakeholder perspectives. As researchers, we are responsible for critically examining our biases and positionalities, recognizing how our backgrounds and affiliations may influence data interpretation and dissemination. Furthermore, engaging stakeholders, including library administrators and patrons, in the research process fosters collaboration and ensures that our analyses resonate with the lived experiences and priorities of those directly impacted by library services.

Methodology

We applied data cleaning and transformation methods to standardize and prepare the data for analysis. The computational approach involved several steps:

Data Cleaning: We used R to read and clean the datasets from 2001 and 2022. This involved renaming columns for consistency, removing unnecessary rows, and converting relevant columns to numeric data types for accurate analysis using mutate() and as. numeric() functions from the dplyr package.

Data Selection: We selected relevant columns from both datasets to focus on metrics such as registered users, annual circulations, and staff details using the select() function.

Data Aggregation and Summarization: We utilized functions like group_by(), summarize(), and arrange() from the dplyr package to aggregate and summarize the data, identifying key statistics and trends.

 Data Visualization: We used ggplot2 in R to create visualizations that compared the top 10 libraries by registered users for 2001 and 2022. These visualizations helped us identify patterns and trends in library usage over the years. Specifically, we used geom_bar() for bar plots and labs() for labeling the charts.

 Here are some key functions and techniques we used in our computational analysis:

 Reading Data: We used read_excel() to import the datasets into R.

Renaming Columns: We applied the rename() function to standardize column names across datasets.

Data Transformation: The mutate() function was used to convert character data to numeric where necessary.

Summarizing Data: We used summarize() and group_by() to aggregate data and calculate relevant statistics.

Sorting and Filtering: We employed arrange() and slice() to sort and filter the datasets for visualization.

 Visualization: The ggplot2 package was extensively used for creating various plots to visualize the data.

Argument & Evidence

Our analysis revealed significant changes in library usage, staffing, and resource allocation over the past two decades. The decline in registered users is particularly notable. The King County Library System experienced a remarkable decrease in registered users, declining from 888,604 in 2001 to 558,760 in 2022. Similarly, the Seattle Public Library also demonstrated a substantial decline in registered users, which could be attributed to the growth in at-home technology. However, the Sno-Isle Libraries significantly increased registered users, highlighting the varied impacts of digital transformation and community engagement strategies across different library systems. This diversity in outcomes underscores the need for tailored approaches to resource management and user engagement in the evolving landscape of public libraries.

Annual circulations also displayed notable shifts. Libraries such as the Seattle Public Library saw a substantial increase in circulations from 2001 to 2022, highlighting the increasing reliance on digital resources. This trend toward digitization in library services was evident across the top libraries, reflecting broader societal changes in how people access and consume information.

Staffing patterns revealed interesting trends as well. The number of MLS-accredited librarians has increased in several library systems, indicating a professionalization of library staff over the years. However, the ratio of MLS-accredited librarians to total staff varied significantly across different library systems. This disparity suggests differences in staff qualifications and resource allocation, highlighting the need for more standardized professional development opportunities across the state.

Examining individual libraries provided deeper insights. For instance, the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District maintained a steady number of registered users over the years, attributed to targeted community programs and efficient resource management. Meanwhile, the King County Library System and the Seattle Public Library consistently ranked among the top performers in terms of registered users and annual circulations, showcasing their robust library services and community engagement efforts, despite a decrease in registered users.

The x-axis represents the library system names, while the y-axis shows the total number of annual circulations. The chart reveals which libraries were the most active in terms of physical book loans in 2001 and 2022, highlighting their importance within the community, and showing the increase of circulations over time. 

Data Visualization 3: Top 10 Libraries with Most Registered Users in 2022

This bar chart displays the distribution of registered users across various libraries in 2001 and 2022. The x-axis represents the library system names, while the y-axis shows the number of registered users. Red bars indicate the number of users in 2001, and black bars indicate the number of users in 2022.

Example(s)

To zoom in on a specific example, we examined the King County Library System, which showed a notable decrease in registered users from 2001 to 2022 as seen above. In 2001, the King County Library System had 888,604 registered users, which decreased to 558,760 by 2022. This significant decline could be attributed to various factors, including changes in population demographics, shifts in user preferences towards digital resources, or possibly funding and resource allocation challenges. The decrease in registered users highlights the challenges the library faces in adapting to changing community needs and technological advancements, making it a prime example of the impact of broader trends on library management and engagement.

Additionally, we observed that the Seattle Public Library experienced substantial growth in registered users, indicating effective community engagement and resource allocation strategies. This demonstrates that while some libraries face declines, others can thrive by adapting to new technologies and effectively reaching out to their communities.

These examples illustrate the varying impacts of digital transformation and funding challenges on different library systems, showcasing the diverse outcomes of library management strategies over the years.

Future Work

Future work could involve a more granular analysis of factors contributing to the growth or decline in registered users and annual circulations across different library systems. Additionally, further research could explore the impact of digital transformation on library services, examining how the integration of digital resources and technology has influenced user behavior and library usage patterns. Collaborating with library administrators and stakeholders to identify best practices and successful strategies for community engagement and resource management would also be beneficial. Finally, expanding the analysis to include more recent data and additional years could provide a more comprehensive understanding of long-term trends and developments in the Washington State Library system.

Me noticing more examples of Ladybug seeing Cat through new respectful eyes.

In ‘Evolution’ when she hands him the rabbit miraculous, Cat is stunned. 'You want me to control time?' She’s giving him probably the most powerful and dangerous miraculous she could. I’m not surprised he was so knocked back by the gesture.

Later, Cat rattles off an explanation of all the time bending - ‘Have I used my power, or am I going to?’ Ladybug simply stares at him a moment and says it’s impressive. It’s a beautiful moment between them.

Not to mention, she declares to Monarch: 'You'll never steal Cat Noir's miraculous - or mine.' Placing Cat before herself.

But more than that - you might recall I wrote a whole thing about Adrien being behind bars throughout the show. And then I did this fic about it.

In ‘Evolution’ there is a moment when Cat jumps back in time to ‘Riposte’. In the original episode, Cat is behind bars, watching Ladybug fight Riposte in the Louvre. It’s pretty surreal in ‘Evolution’ seeing Cat watch himself stand behind the bars...I think particularly because when we see it from Cat’s angle, suddenly he’s the one on the outside and it’s Ladybug and Riposte behind the bars instead.

It’s almost like...by using the rabbit miraculous / being granted that trust from Ladybug, Cat is symbolically being slowly freed from that old prison of loneliness inside.
