#mlb brainrot

[princesscrybabytears]

I have this idea in my head, idk if anyone else has done this (if so, please help me find it!!) But it's this: sad pictures or gifs of Adrien, Kagami, and Felix with the lyrics from what was I made for by billie eilish

Agreed, but I also need to point out that this doesn't necessarily mean that Chloe would always stay the person she became because of the lack of safety in her life. I'm glad they explored this aspect in S2, but sad we never got to see her childhood. Obviously Chloe has done some pretty bad things in the show, but I think the point is that she *could* have changed. She started getting better, and became Queen Bee because Ladybug was the first person to give her a chance. Let's face it, all her life Chloe was *tolerated*, at best. Her father had no idea how to parent her and just replaced interaction and effort with expensive gifts and whatever toy she asked for, Audrey is absolutely something she needs to talk to a therapist about...and her household staff are just working for her.

The closest Chloe ever got to a genuine relationship with someone that was halfway positive was Armand, because the man was kind and patient enough to try and help a little girl who was alone. Don't get me wrong, Chloe was an absolute demon, self-certained and very insecure about herself, hence the tantrums, bullying others, etc. The worst part? I don't think she ever realized that Armand cared about her. Chloe knew deep down that he was only there because her dad was paying him to be, or at least convinced herself that was the case. And why care or even bother being polite to "the help"?

None of this excuses her actions or behaviors, bt it's also not her fault. Obviously bullying is a bad thing nobody should do...but Chloe was what? Like five years old when Audrey dipped to NYC and didn't come back for a whole decade. As a child, Chloe wanted that safe space, and tried to find it in her parents. But with a father who was...a bad parent, to put it lightly (I have a whole stitch with Andre but nvm), and a mother who couldn't care less about her daughter, Chloe did the only thing she could. She learned to copy them. She started treating people the same way Audrey does in the hopes of getting approval from her mother, she convinced that with Andre's lavish gifts, she didn't need friends! Why would she care what random schoolmates think when daddy just got her a sparkly new dress? Chloe told herself again and again that she was better, superior, more worthy of love than anyone else. She internalized all those thoughs and gave herself a massive superiority complex...because she saw other kids her age with their families and felt broken inside.

She never had a home, or even a safe space where she could be herself. There was no one to confide in and no way for her to express or even articulate these feelings, so she did what all kids do. She lashed out. Granted, she did it in the worst way possible for a kid (Lila aside, not *everyone* can be assistant to the local terrorist by age 15), by bullying and threatening her peers.

And who was her biggest target? Marinette! Because she had a loving family. Two parents who supported and stood by her no matter what. Marinette Dupain-Cheng had the home that Chloe Bourgeois had craved all her life. And she was jeleous of her. As an aside, notice how everyone else in the class (that we have information on) has single parents or "incomplete" families. Alix has just her dad, Juleka only her mom, I'm pretty sure Rose or Mylene said something similar about their families in the S5 flashback...you get the point. I think that's why Marinette specifically got the worst of it.

This trend of inflated ego and superiority continues well into Chloe's teenage years, given that Andre only enabled her, spinelessly giving into whatever his daughter wanted even if it went against the law (see firing Roger on a whim in Rogercop). The only person who tries to curb this is Adrien, but we all know he's too nice and has a hard time confronting people. Again worth reminding everyone that Chloe did try in Despair-Bear, because Adrien is important enough to her for Chloe to put in the effort to be polite to people she has convinced herself are fundementally inferior to her.

Then, we come to Queen Bee. Some of my favorite moments of S2 is when Chloe gets entrusted with the Bee Miraculous again to fight various Akuma, because here we get to see her grow a little bit. She acts a bit more mature, is trying to impress but also genuinely wants and does her best to help Ladybug and Chat Noir. Attitude aside (since that doesn't change overnight), Chloe is slowly coming to expect Ladybug to seek her out, and I speculate she comes to see the Team as Home. It's what she's been missing all this time, and Chloe is desperate to hold onto it.

This, of course...leads us to Miracle Queen. I could do a whole analysis on this episode alone, but the short version is that I think Chloe subconsiously knew that she was making a bad call when Hawkmoth came to her. She sided with him anyway, and it wasn't ever about the Bee Miraculous itself, or (solely) about losing Ladybug's trust. It concerned what the Bee represented to her. Home. Chloe had started to find her footing in this new, safe environment, and Marinette unintentionally took this away without communicating that Chloe hadn't done something wrong.

Naturally, Chloe internalized this affirmation to her doubts and insecurities, leading to Miracle Queen and then her cranking up the bitching to a staggering 37/10. All this to say that while I'm okay with her not being "redeemed" since that kind of stuff just doesn't happen in a day, and can sometimes takes years of therapy to work through such problems, I am very much not okay with this never being shown.

Chloe is a very complex character that could have gone both the "redemption" and "corruption" route, depending solely on her own decisions. I wish we got to see more of her, or gotten a Chloe-centric episode showing us her thoughs on everything that happened instead of Queen Banana. I will forever hold a grudge for the harsh cut between her character arcs and lack of explanation about Chloe's reasoning. This doesn't mean I'm mad about her staying a villain, I actually preffer her as that archetype for a variety of reasons, I simply wish we got an explanation for this internal change, an episode that showed why she's a cautionary tale and maybe gave us perspective on why Chloe won't change. She isn't going to, that much is obvious, but there could have been a good message here instead of a corruption arc executed so poorly it felt more like a regression of her character.

Why do I have Chloé brainrot? Let me explain.

Close your eyes. Think back to the last time you felt safe. Conjure up that image out of your past that means 'love' to you. That feeling by which you judge every other interaction. The metric for 'okay' and 'not okay'. The quintessential nostalgia that carries us through. The 'better times.'

Home.

Now imagine they very concept was denied you from birth.

Tim Drake didn't particularly like the occult.

But Constantine said the two were their best bet against the demon uprising. The magic-user, howeover, refused to contact them himself, claiming that it was a bad idea to involve them, that they were better off dealing with the problem on their own than . . . outsourcing. Unfortunately, Tim (and the rest of the Batfamily really) was stubborn. If they had potential allies to help them, wouldn't it be worth to take the risk?

This mission to contact those people then dragged him to a downtown bar to talk to famous designer Marinette Dupain-Cheng, who he was ninety-five percent sure was one of the two Constantine was talking about.

Tim told himself that perhaps a little bit of sweet-talking would do. His hand inched closer to hers on the tabletop, but she immediately pulled away. "This night has been fun, Monsieur Drake." She smiled sweetly. "But I don't think my husband will appreciate me staying out late."

She showed him a glowing band on her finger, which Tim completely missed when they met. He, too, pulled away, cheeks turning pink. "Uhh, yeah, sorry 'bout that. Don't let me keep you."

Although Marinette had slipped out, he still had a mission to do.

He decided to follow her.

He knew of her potential danger, signified by the fact that she was walking on a dark, deserted, Gotham street by herself. He held his breath when she stopped right below a flickering lamppost.

She turned around, plump red lips stretching into a sinister smile. "That's quite sneaky of you, Monsieur Drake. Why don't you be direct with what you want, hm?"

And he took a step out of the shadows, dropping his act. "We need your help."

"Who told you about me?"

". . . John Constantine."

Her nose wrinkled. "That soul-whore? Figures."

Tim definitely didn't show it, but the way she stood, her mere presence was unnerving like a beast waiting to pounce. But at the same time, she was so unfairly beautiful even in the darkness.

Marinette smoothed down her hair. "What makes you think we're willing to help?"

Tim's eyebrows raised. "'We'?"

A sudden chill arrived with the wind, summoning goosebumps all over his skin. The lamp switched off in a blink, and when it turned on again, a shadow had appeared beside Marinette, which morphed into a human. Or at least he thought it was a human.

"Yes, 'we'," a new voice said. "She and her husband."

Fuck. The man was dressed in elegant clothes, a perfect match with his wife. His hair was slicked back but with strands softly falling on top of his ethereal eyes. Tim swore those were fangs under his pale lips, sharp like the gaze he was shooting at him. Both his deep blue eyes and Marinette's seemed to shine under the moonlight.

Tim was officially scared. He never did like the occult, but goddamn, the occult was causing his bi-panic.
