Introducing my new sky oc Adrien!! They're weird :)

[xshimaeraxx]

I've seen many posts about people missing how common asks used to be so I have been trying to send about an ask a week. Now I send this ask first anytime I follow someone as I really don't want to bother anyone, so I'd love to know if you enjoy receiving asks and if so what kind of asks. Not having energy for asks or being comfortable with them is perfectly okay.

The categories I have in my ask notebook that I file under are in colour. Please feel free to make your response as long as you want or private (the asker cannot directly respond to private responses).

Self, Job/Work: please let me know what you are comfortable with from eh idk just ask it to nothing personal at all.

Baggishield/Tolkien, Dragon Age, Johnlock/Sherlock, ineffable spouses, other fandom: Please let me know what fandoms. I think my main fandoms and ships are Bagginshield/The Hobbit, Sherlock/Johnlock, Dragon Age Inquisition, {Pippin/Faramir Merry/Eowyn}/The Lord of the Rings and I dip my toes in a few that I currently can't remember but ships I don't engage with the canon of at all are: Good Omens but only for Crowley/Azirapheal, Stranger Things but only for Steve/Eddie , The Witcher but only for Geralt/Jaskier, and Ladybug and Cat Noir but only for Adrinette .

OC's, art/drawing, their writing, blog specific only

Story snippets ideas and prompts: Do you like receiving them?

Pets: I'd love to know all about them

Like being tagged in things: If so what kinds of things?

*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer.

hello!!! yeah, i love receiving asks, lmao, & as for ur questions:

self, job/work: hmmm. im not rly comfy w any major questions ab my irl life (like stuff along the lines of “where specifically t do you live” (like im a brit, but if somewhere were to ask js where i live in the uk, i wldnt answer, as is common sense (imo) when it comes to the internet), “how old are you” “what is (are) your irl name(s)” etc. etc. - identifying stuff, basically), tho anythin’ else is pretty much on the table rn.

fandoms: oh, fandoms my beloved. my main fandoms atm (for both reading & writing, tho some r only reading while some r only writing, etc. etc.) are cuphead (i have way too much worldbuilding for this one au of mine that branches off into so many aus of the au, its genuinely gettin a lil crazy /pos /lh; i write fic for this one, aswell- in fact, its kinda my main writing-for fandom atm ^^), the hobbit (bagginshield my beloved i love you shjshsjehejs - i also dable vaguely in lotr (mainly gimli/legolas + parentshield tbh lmao) but its mostly js the hobbit for me), good omens (i love the ineffables i love s1 & s2 & HSJSHSJSHSJ i js love it like. all around. fuck gaimon tho, death of the author tyvmm), my hero academia/boku no hero academia (i dont engage w fandom much other then a few fanfic writers’ blogs here on tumblr & ao3 fanfic lmao XD; love the anime tho), harry potter (FUCK jkr, speaking as a brit myself none of us claim her, the transphobes can have her, we dont want her /lh - love the (good parts of) fanbase tho. ive actually made some rly good fic-writer friends thru it over on discord lmao), & ofc rise of the guardians!!! (fuckin love that thing, so sad there was never a second move :sadblob: love playin around w fanon/fandom lore tho, & i LOVE jackrabbit (bunnymund/jack) its my main ship in the fandom, tho im a multishipper so im also kinda partial to some other ones ofc)

ocs, art/drawing, writing, blog specific: not entirely sure what this one’s asking/if its actually a question, but imma answer it any lolol XD. anygays - ocs: i have a few cuphead ocs, but none of ‘em r self-inserts & all only rly exist bc of/for/to enhance/move forward the plot of my (main) cuphead au, tho ofc theyre still ocs - love ‘em like my children even if i dont love ‘em as much as i do the canon characters, snirk. art/drawing: i do draw, tho i rarely post any of my art, and one or two times i have its usually bc im js proud enough of it to want to share it, ehehe. writing: i write. so much fanfic. none of its posted, but i have so many wips i frankly dont know when any one of ‘em will be, sooo… shrug. blog specific: my blog isnt rly “specific”; its more js a place for me to enage w cool art & fics & such & reblog stuff i like on here as well as probably self-promo my own fics & such, as well as js a place to put my random ramblings in XD.

story snippets & prompts: oh, i love ‘em!! always nice 2 get a new burst of writing motivation ::D

pets: ohhh, cats. i love cats. had one for a while for around a good two years or so but after he injured his paw & we had 2 keep him inside for 3 weeks straight, the flightly lil bugger’s runaway. he (might’ve; still don’t know for sure whether it rly was him or not, but he apparently responded to his name from my mother’s accounts, so :shrug:) came back in the middle of the night a week or so ago now, but idtk whether he’s dead, alive, or js been taken in by some other family who thinks he’s a stray. :sigh:

gardening & hobbies: i don’t garden, and as for hobbies… not much, rly. i like writing fic, i like reading, i like going on (short, i have shite stamina) walks every other day or so, i like talkin w my few friends. like i said, not much. ::)

like being tagged in things: yes, i do! and as for what… anything, rly! tag games, fic wip games, askbox/ask games, im good w ‘em all! ::D

thx for the ask; have a good day/night/timezone!! ::>

Okay, I just finished rewatching the first season of Miraculous and I have some thoughts, but before that I need to complain

Why the fuck is the episode order Lika That? I initially set out to watch the episodes in production order rather than release order because I knew there was some funky stuff going on with the release order, only to find that the production order was also all fucked up ??? So I had to rely on someone on reddit who was kind enough to write down a chronological episode order for the first three seasons (and despite that, Origins ended up as the last two episodes of season 1 for some reason, although I am retroactively glad about that tbh, more on that later). Fortunately it looks like seasons 2 and 3 do just follow the production order so watching those will hopefully be easier

One of my main reasons I wanted to rewatch Miraculous and finish it is that I wanted to see if it was even a good kids show. Because while a lot of MLB fans and critics bring up good points about the missed potential of the show, it feels like a lot of them go about it from the perspective of adults or older teens who want to enjoy it as a piece of media that caters to them, rather than as the show for children it actually is (which isnt exclusive to this fandom, its just kinda a general tumblr thing but still). Its something that really bothers me about critiques of childrens media because yes, making something for a young audience isnt an excuse to make something bad, but you still need to apply different standards for kids media than you would for teen and adult media. What I mean by that is, just because a piece of media for children doesnt appeal to you, an adult, doesnt mean its bad, its just not for you.

So, Miraculous isnt well-written by the standards of media in general, but is it a good kids show? The first season, yes. Since Ive already watched seasons 2 and 3 and seen a lot of the spoilers for seasons 4 and 5, I know theres gonna be some problems and Im gonna run into some issues with my future critiques because it genuinely gets hard to tell what theyre even trying to do narratively and if theyre trying to appeal to the under 10 crowd like the first season or trying to become more mature and for tweens (10-12 year olds) as the series goes on, which are important things to consider when critiquing the show like this but Im gonna worry about that later

For now, yes, the first season is a good kids show.

The characters are pretty archetypical and Adrien is honestly pretty bland when hes not Cat Noir but theyre all ultimately pretty likable (or hatable in Chloe, Lila and to a lesser extend Kim's cases) and I like the diversity in Marinettes class, both in terms of ethnicity and in terms of bodytype. That being said, the designs of both the civilian characters and their akumatized versions are mediocre and personalityless at best and straightup awful at worst. For the akumatized villains I find it kinda weird that theres not really a consistent style to them. Some of them, like Stormy Weather, Lady Wi-Fi and Evillustrator, practically have the same color scheme, some of them, like Stormy Weather, Puppeteer and Reflecta, have the vibes of magical girl anime villains, some of them, like Timebreaker, Simon Says and Rogercop, seem like villains you'd find in a western comic book series etc. And it really doesnt feel like its because of the personality of the akumatized or because of their feelings when they got akumatized, it feels like its just kinda random every time and Im not a big fan of that. Marinettes Ladybug suit is really bland and I dont like how much emphasis it puts on her underage body especially since this a show claims to be empowering to young girls while Adriens Cat Noir suit looks fine i guess, just kinda generic for a black cat superhero. I dont think it'll ruin the experience for any kid watching the show but to me stuff like this is a pretty big display of carelessness, especially considering fashion is so important with Marinette wanting to be a designer and the main villain being a world renowed fashion designer.

The animation is pretty good for TV cgi though and I actually found the fight scenes very engaging and fun, I think kids who like action would really enjoy them

After watching seasons 2 and 3, I was honestly very surpised to see that Marinettes crush on Adrien and her awkwardsness around him was actually pretty cute and endearing initially. Like yeah, shes a bit of a weirdo about it but shes not like, a stalker and her awkwardness feel like an appropriate level of over the top-ness for an animated kids show and its definitely a far cry from the cringy, unecessarily slap-sticky shit I remembered, so that was nice. The writing in general was far less juvenile and trying-too-hard-to-be-funny, except for Hawk Moth. Now, theyre not trying too hard to make him funny, theyre actually trying to do the opposite, but hes just impossible to take seriously with his cringy lines every time he goes to akumatize someone. I think it would be better if the sequence of him sending the akuma out was silent, like we the potential victim get angry, cut to Hawk Moth smirking and doing his thing with the akuma in silence, then we see the victim get akumatized and talk to Hawk Moth except we dont hear him so its one-sided. But like with the character-design stuff, i dont think this will ruin the show for the kids but I do think making the main villain more mysterious and scary would be an improvement.

One of the big ways that the show fumbles imo are the lessons. Like, lets take Stormy Weather; the girl (I forgot her name sry) gets akumatized because she lost the vote to become weather girl and went on this huge rampage taking her anger out on everyone. From that description alone I would assume that the lesson of the episode would be about being a sore loser and how you cant always win in life so you shouldnt get so angry when you lose and that lesson would be taught by our Paragon of Goodness Ladybug, but its not. Ladybug doesnt talk to her about being a sore loser and has one of those 'say the moral outloud' kids media-moments, she just gets de-evilized and seems too exhausted to be angry anymore and thats how that ends. The actual lesson, the one that Marinette needs to learn, is how to say no to things and that its okay to accept help and not burden yourself with responsibility so much. And thats a good lesson but its so disconnected from the bulk of the episode in a way that it really shouldnt be

Im also suprised that a show with this premise doesnt have more conclusion-scenes where, after Ladybug saved the day, Marinette goes up to the akumatized person and tries to cheer them up. Like, a lot of the people who get akumatized are pretty much strangers to her so I get why she doesnt go up to those (although I still think she could spare some encouraging words for them in her Ladybug suit considering the experience they just went through), but a lot of them are her classmates and it would demonstrate why Marinette is a good Ladybug, whether shes transformed or not. As it stands, there are episodes where she is that Paragon Of Goodness that teaches other people lessons and episodes where shes just clumsy impulsive Marinette who needs to learn how to be more confident and responsible. That might be intentional, but because the villains and Marinette in civillian form are so disconnected, I dont think the dichotomy here works very well.

And the thing is, she actually does reach out the akuma victim as Marinette in Origins. Honestly, most of the issues I named arent present in Origins, with the exception of Hawk Moth being hard to take seriously; Adrien actually has an endearing personality when not Cat Noir and you understand why Marinette likes him so much, Marinette and her civillian persona feel less disconnected from the Ladybug stuff because she actually talks to Ivan and her learning to be more confident as a heroine helping her become more confident and assertive in her daily life is really good, even if the lessons of "talk honestly about your feelings" and "be more confident and have faith in yourself" arent directly connected either (although still arguably more than the two lessons in Stormy Weather)

Origins as a whole is a far better episode than any other season 1 episode and really feels likethe set-up for a far better and more interesting show. I really think the main thing holding this entire season back is the fact that its episodic and we didnt get to see Marinette and Adrien develop as heroes or anything else, we just kinda smashcut to their 'default' dynamics and while we can ultimately guess how those dynamics ended up developing from Origins onwards, we really shouldnt have to guess, we shouldve seen it because it wouldve been fun and interesting and the show would be much better.

Considering the fact that they jump straight into serialization with season 2 and european cartoons having continuity is pretty common, I have no idea why they would start out episodic like this when all it does is drag the series down. My best guess is that they were trying to imitate popular american cartoons at the time, which usually started with the first season being entirely episodic and then having a big season finale that changes the status quo in some major way before it continues in a more serialized format. But why they did it doesnt really matter, all that matters is that the show is worse for it, although definitely not bad or unsalvagable. This is a very solid start for what couldve been a great show, but just kinda ended up being pretty bad instead

Thats it, thanks for reading

[starlit-dreaming]

tfw you get back into rarepair shipper hell and you know absolutely No one who ships them. also doesnt really help that im not actively in the mIb fandom anymore

i like juIerose, dont get me wrong, i still ship it of course (hell, they’re dating in my elementaire fic even if i haven’t dived into their relationship a whole lot) but whY IS MARINETTE SO SHIPPABLE FOR ME???

i cant even??? i just ship her with everyone?????? i shipped her with adrien/cn once upon a time (dont ship it anymore, but there are aspects of their relationship that i definitely enjoy thinking about and exploring. partly salt but partly just a wistful yearning for what couldve been from when i was ignorant of any development beyond season 1), i ship her with kagami (even before the character reveal, but thats cause i wanted her to be the second love interest for marinette at the time), i ship her with luka, with felix, hell, with chloe too. i used to ship her with lila when it was only s1 too tbh (when lila couldve potentially been friends with marinette but enemies with ladybug)

i didnt consider julerose until i found a fanart of a designer mari x model juleka au and now i wanna write a juIenette au someone heLP

like. maybe its an au where rose ends up with a prince, or rose ends up getting fully manipulated by lila’s lies (as opposed to elementaire), and mari was pretty much outcasted by them and left long ago (via homeschool, transferred schools, or maybe in a different class), and juleka unfortunately gets picked as lila’s next target

luka would ask marinette a favor that she considers talking to juleka regarding the lila situation, since marinette personally knows the kinda shit lila could pull and how unbelievable it can get when nobody who knew you for years would side with you

so marinette begrudgingly and hesitantly does so -- talks with juleka about shit that happened with lila, and finds out that juleka was put down for her dreams of being a model. cue inspo and marinette decides that the best way to get revenge on lila is to just be more happier and successful than her (well, maybe she wouldnt actively plan on getting revenge yet, cause that’ll happen in later years)

i gotta stop before i end up writing a full blown fic outline...

[jess-the-vampire]

i dont watch must of miraculous ladybug but ive being watching alot of videos on its problems this past two days and they sound very similar to the star vs problems. since uve watched both shows how would you compare 'ladybug to star vs' beside the creator's attitudes and love problems

ehhhhh i mean if you throw those two things out star vs was more like GF and TOH, trying to have a compelling world and darker story with plot twists and arcs and character moments.

Basically it wanted to do what toh is doing right now, it just didn’t plan nearly as well and there’s constant contradictions all over the place and you can TELL the writers didn’t watch their previous episodes or make a checklist to keep track of character moments or anything.

star vs is wasted potential and that’s sad tbh, i try and make up for it with my own aus involving that world these days.

ML does have arcs, and stories and plot twists, but as a show it’s far more lighthearted, there’s not exactly a overarching story each season. Things come back and stuff builds up for the finale and character changes DO happen but it’s def different in tone and feel.

there are similarities and differences.

granted for me i also went in both with different feelings.

Ml is a hot mess, but i think the fandom knows it, i went in knowing it was kinda a mess. It’s a fun mess, but if you’re going in for like....huge lore dumps and mysteries then wrong show tbh.

Star vs on the other hand, presented itself as a show with lore, twists, and secrets, which is why it’s far more annoying that it answered little to none of said secrets and left so many of it’s mysteries completely abandoned. It feels slightly deceptive that way, because yeah, it’s annoying to get compelled into the mysteries of a series and then said series never answers a single one...and when they do....the answer is both anticlimactic...or makes no sense.

if i were to recommend star to someone i would instantly tell them not to get too attached to lore, because that will instantly sink the show for you.

You know what you get with ML mostly, Star vs....you thought what you were getting was going to be different then what you did.

that’s the best compare and contrast i have if you ignore the shipping and creators.

[tema-makes-art-sometimes]

Just saw your vent post and I think diving into your self indulgent stuff might help. For me personally, when working on original stuff, that's when I'll think about things like appealing to others/marketability/etc, but when it comes to fandom stuff, the only audience I care to pander to is Me, Myself, and I. Other people sometimes end up liking it, mostly it just goes ignored, maybe a like by a mutual if they see it. I prefer it this way, since worrying about appealing to more people when writing fanfic makes it feel too much like Writing I Do For Work, and I even never use betas for that same reason, it makes it feel too much like Work Writing, when fandom is Fun Writing.

I'm not sure what you do outside of fandom, but you have so much creativity, I've kinda assumed you've either been doing creative work or are studying to go into it--I can see you in a character design shop tbh, I can see Pin being a villain people would just eat up and love or love to hate.

If you're in a creative field, I feel like it's just good practice to go into Work Creative Space and Fandom Creative Space with different intents, if anything for the sake of mental health, as I've been in a very similar place, where silence on my fandom work would make me rethink what I'm doing, make me want to retcon WIPs, thinking "Maybe if I change this to that or this ship to that ship or change this character to be closer to fanon, more people will want to read/will comment/whatever".

You sound like you already very well know this isn't a healthy mindset, so I'm not going to go into that. I'll just say dive into that self indulgence, whether or not you're doing original creative work in the background as a job/part of study. You have great stuff, but audiences can get burned out just like creatives do. Sometimes it's because they're also creatives. Sometimes it's just burn out from seeing so much art/writing/media ALL THE TIME.

Something a professor told me was that if you got to go to an art museum, and you tried to really appreciate each piece, you'd end up exhausted before finishing even one section of the museum. This can lead to the 'mindless scrolling' a lot of the time. Fandom is becoming a large part of a lot of people's lives, but for most people, it's secondary or even tertiary media, and they're already putting a lot of energy into enjoying and appreciating the media they're in fandoms for. (Yes, there are some people who 'set fire to canon' and are in the center area of a fandom, but most people are closer to the sides, occasionally popping in from time to time but not setting up tents, if that makes sense.) So many of those people just don't have the energy to really get involved with a lot of media produced my fan creators, especially if they follow a lot of them and can only comment or otherwise get involved with a few posts/creators at a time. This can be what often leads to some 'visiting' the same 3-4 creators more often than they may go to another creator.

Setting up a place and waiting for more people to filter in can feel exhausting all by itself, especially when you're trying to create more to fill more of that space and hopefully entice more people to pop in and see what's going on.

When you focus on self indulgence for a while, you're not always looking at the door, since you usually don't expect people to walk in (at least, I never expect it), so when people actually do come in and tap you on the shoulder to see what you're working on and if they can see, it can really help offer that extra boost you need.

I really don't think you're doing anything wrong. A lot of artists who don't do what those "How to get more followers" tips still find an audience, sometimes due to the niche, sometimes starting out niche but expanding as more ideas get tossed in. Some artists who by the book, seem to do everything right, don't get nearly as much. There's really not a right or wrong way to create or share your creations. There are just a /lot/ of creators, so a lot of times, it boils down to how people find your door.

These are all really good points so I am going to share. Honestly a lot of my GerCanMano stuff is pure self indulgence but you're honestly right I think I'm probably gonna focus on some self indulgent shinanigans for a bit, and stop worrying as much about getting things out on time and making it perfect

but I do wanna point out this cause it hit me;

I'm not sure what you do outside of fandom, but you have so much creativity, I've kinda assumed you've either been doing creative work or are studying to go into it--I can see you in a character design shop tbh, I can see Pin being a villain people would just eat up and love or love to hate.

I was in school, but I never declared my major so I had to stop temporarily because I honestly don't know what major to be. There's so many things I like to do, but I don't know if I want to make a career out of them if that makes sense.

Like art, I love art and video games, I'd love to do things like animation or graphic design or be my own indie developer, but I worry if thinking about a game like a business slash whats making me money will ruin the creative process. It wont be making things for the joy of making things, it would be for my job because I had to, and idk- that just isn't as fun. Im worried about that mentality sinking in. I like them but idk if I wanna have to take them full on seriously as a career.

I'm trying to get a minimum wage job right now but its hard to find a job right now in the US job climate, especially with the fact that I have to find job willing to cater to a disability I have currently offrecord because my doctor wouldnt listen to me. Which is even harder because Ive had to walk away from jobs before because they wouldnt give me accomedations without doctors recommendation.

I am planning to set up a Etsy shop right now actually. I need to get a printer, but otherwise hopefully soon I will have a store up with stickers and preorders for keychains. One day I plan to get a button press and make my own buttons. I have hetalia merch planned, as well as my ocs. I'd love and have designs for all sorts of stuff, custom tshirt designs- like subtle hetalia fan stuff like pockets on the chest witht he character "sticking out" with familiar hetalia patterns. I have miraculous ladybug stuff planned. My friend gave me the idea of aster's heart as a friendship necklace and I love it, I could imagine all sorts of needle and thread themed pin merch I have a lot of ideas its just designing and making them and seeing if people would buy them.

I dont quite know what you mean by character design shop if thats something different or not, but yes.

Ill save a ramble about pin for a seperate post this ask is long and so is my response so Ill stop

Why Season 3 was a Rollercoaster of a mess. (Spoilers!)

 Oh boy

Oooooooh boy where do I even begin

Lets start from the beginning i Suppose

When Miraculous Ladybug first came out i fell in love with the series. I thought the premise was nice, the characters ok and the story interesting. Well, to be fair I didnt expect much of the story due to being in its first season, but I loved it. The finale was meh (the last episode, not the mid-series Origins story, I watched it on Netflix). I liked the series. I loved the fandom. And i Couldn’t wait for season 2 at the time.

Then season 2 came out

As i started watching the first ep of season 2, it started out strong, answered a question i already knew, but then... it didn't go any further. See, when I expected season 2, I expected the story to be taken up a notch, the plot to become stronger, new and interesting characters to be introduced, and for someone to replace Hawkmoth as the antagonist (bc in my mind, he always felt like a season 1 antagonist to be replaced one season later by the actual main antagonist, and the mayura leaks did not help). 

But it never came. The story remained simple and eventually started to become bland. All episodes were all single-story eps with no correlation to each other other than the characters in them. Every single character in the show that wasnt Marinette had any sort of character growth, and I could take any one of the episodes out other than the first and last two and it wouldn't have any impact. Maybe not all of them, but some.

(This was the same time I learned that all episodes in the series were meant to always be single episode storylines. It was the same time I learned the the shows creator was also an ASS-truc, but thats a story for another day)

So for season 2, I ended up starting to find the show boring and lackluster. Most of the episodes were boring and unentertaining, and aside from a select few, such as the finale, the new hero eps and a few others, the entire season was boring to heck. 

Worse still, Marinette went from an ok nice girl (who was at times a bit of an arse) to a stalker asshole who was at times worse than Chloe. 

(Then again, the first episode of the entire series literally had Marinette have a planner used to track Adrien's every move, so what the hell do i know)

The fandom, however, was still amazing at the time, so I stuck around. The fanfics were amazing at the time and the fandom was still so kind-hearted

Luckily for me, Season 3 would manage to have some much better episodes.

But at what cost.

WHAT. COST.

See, while Season 3 was undoubtedly better that season 2 overall in episode quality, this season was probably also the worst of all 3 at the same time. This season was not only the worst in overall season quality but the one that entirely ruined the fandom for me. The plot was again non-existent and there was still no character development, but they manage to make this season better by making a plotline that required all characters to be an idiot ball, then ditch it at the end just so Thomas could again insult people on twitter.

Lets start with the first episode of Season 3: Chameleon

Sometime before the production of season 2 and 3, Asstruc learned how to write someone as a martyr people would feel pity for that character and want to protect (read: stan) them.

So naturally, Ass-truc would abuse this a lot.

In the first ep of season 3, Astruc would create the worst episode ever made. 

The premise of the episode is that Lila has returned to school and has been telling lies, which makes Marinette mad. None of the class believes her due to everyone being written as an idiot (seriously the someone gotta has google on their smartphones everyone has), so of course, Naturally Mari confronts Lila, who swears to ruin her life before and after an akuma battle which doesnt really matter for this episode, aside from the fact that Lila fully works with hawkmoth because being a bad kid means that working with a terrorist is perfectly reasonable if you can get revenge on the good guys.

So, including the fact Ass-truc reintroduced Lila back into the show as a Chloe 2.0 to making everyone an idiot ball so that the writing could even work, this will be the episode that I will hate the most. And not just for the episode itself. We’ll come to that later. But the point is, this is how most of the season would go:

-Lila: *exists*

-Marinette: *cries* im suffering so much, my life is ruined!

-Fans: stan to the point of insanity

-Me sipping my salt flavored tea: b*tch calm the f*ck down.

Speaking of Marinette, the Miraculous team had already been hellbent on making Marinette more of an asshole, stalkery and creepy and passing it off as cute in season 2, so they decided to fix that by dialing all that shit up to 11. Episodes like Weredad and Oni-chan really showed this, with the former having Marinette Literally manipulating Chat Noir to be stuck in a bad situation just for her own sake, and latter literally having her try to break into Adriens house because Lila is there. All for the excuse that Lila is a Liar and totally not because she is with Adrien, Marinette cant be jealous because Marinetteisperfectandamazingand-

Yeah, she really sucks as the main character. TBH I'm waiting for the spinoff show where Alix and Kim dare each other to do stupid stuff each episode like its MTV’s Jackass, it's gonna be fun.

Now onto the Other episodes!

While I will admit that compared to season 2, there were a lot of good episodes. Gamer 2.0, Feast, Ikari Gozen, Party Crasher, and of course the heart-wrenching Oblivio come to mind. These episodes are amazing and show how good the episodes are when you make sure the garden gnome is locked in a closet somewhere during episode development.

So out of the 26 episodes, 5 of them were really good.

The rest were either kinda ok or complete shit. That's not to say they were all bad, but there were just some parts... at best there was either a part of it I found cringeworthy too much for me to consider it as one of the good ones, such as Pupetteer 2 with its Adrien Statue scene, or at worst all of it was just written so badly, such as the entirety of Stormy Weather not actually being an episode and acutally being just and episode recap.

Now for the plot. Oh, wait, what plot?

First of all, Miraculous never had one. At best it was just a bunch of single-episode stories that Ass-truc wants you to think are connected somehow and somehow all work together as a cohesive story. A lot of the characters in Miraculous Ladybug

You mean the overarching storyline where Marinette becomes a Guardian just because she can pick a hero? Yeah, just ignore the episode where Fu said he had to spend an entire childhood learning how to even be an apprentice Guardian, or ignore the fact that picking a person to be a hero doesn't make Marinette qualified to be Guardian in a slightest!

(If someone literally has to ask me this, ask yourself if a pharmacist is fit to be a doctor just because they hand out your meds.)

What about the storylines about other certain characters in the show like Lila, who the show has been building up to be a villain while casually destroying characters' intelligence to be able to do so? The story about Chloe accepting that she can’t really be a hero anymore and moving on?

Ruined by the Finale.

Oh yeah, the finale.

This season Finale was probably the worst finale out of all the seasons and half the stuff done in the last two episodes did not make sense. I dont want to talk about it much because I want to do a blog post about it later on, but for the sake of the finale, they ruined a bunch of characters, martyred Marinette for the 100th time, and created some stupid plot ideas for the sake of coolness. And by coolness i mean stanning Marinette again and making her extra special. Doesnt matter if it makes a contradiction or makes no sense. Stupidity has won this episode!

To be fair though, all the reasons above aren’t the reasons I hate this season. 

No.

The reason for season 3 being the worst for me is how it had ruined the fandom.

Ever since the first episode of season 3, the fandom has become a cesspool of salt and anger. Character bashing because the class didn't straight up agree with Marinette instantly, Over the top Marinette stanning, fanfics that go over the top crazy, it has gone insane. On ao3 most fanfics of ML that i have seen have been about ‘Chameleon Fix-Its’ where Lila is metaphorically shot with a GAT, ‘Marinette protection Squads’ which basically involve her moving schools because Lila exists, and the Maribat ship that has made my head dent my desk (seriously where the fuck did it come from?!). Worst still, as a result of Season 3, the Adrien hate has started to go crazy as a result of the Chameleon episode and similar eps resulting in Marinette being shipped with Luka (aka the better Adrien as stated by Marinette stans), Felix before the Felix episode dropped, and even Damien Wayne in the Notorious Maribat ship (no seriously where did it come from i want answers!). To put it simple, thanks to Ass-truc all of ao3 is filled with salt fics and no more original and interesting stories.

BTW while i have your attention and am talking about good Miraculous stories on ao3, go read Miraculous Tales by JED1 on AO3 its soo damn good.

To be fair, I myself am angry at the episode, but only because everyone was written to be an idiot ball for the episode to work, and because of the fact Astruc used the episode to rile up the fandom to be almost as toxic as him.

If anything, its the number one reasons why i hate seasons 3 and the reason why it has ruined the fandom for me.

And that, overall, is why i think Season 3 was a Rollercoaster of a mess.

15. What’s the last line you wrote without context?

“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry about it, dude. :)” She cuts you off. “Anyways,

[i didn’t finish that line…]

16. Describe your WIP that currently has the highest word count.

hmmmm. if the book series that their majesty likes reading counts as fanfiction then thatactually maybe the princess&o-7 might be the longest so far but its in our phone and im lazy

17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.

hmmm. more human aus of fortuna ais, definitely. might try my hand at apollo but you’ll never know. def have to reread it again so i get the characterization right

18. Do you have a fic reading/writing routine?

nope!!! i do it sporadically. reading is just “whenever i feel like it” and i scour the tags until i find something i like. smaller fandoms i’m less likely to scour and just devour it instead

writing it’s just like. *gets an idea* hm time to procrastinate, yes.

19. What’s your favorite character headcanon?

……i don’t get headcanons that much aha… i like the idea of alice learning the piano but um, that’s canon isn’t it? maybe picking up a few instruments as well.

actually do you remeber the shy kid in cocoalley in 1bh?? there’s a hc they’re nb and i like it. also nb nanase

20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!

let me ramble a bit now-

undertale wise i like feralpheonix!!!

also homestuck theres one but i dont remeber the name either!!! why do i do this. i think it was called soft reset though!!! there’s also good platonic dirkroxy and a good dirkjane fic which is long but anyways!!!! also a crack fanfic its good. dont let me ramble

also also theres a miraculous ladybug one where marianette meets adrien in a vintage antique shop its so cute??? also a really cute marialya one!!!

midway through fixing the html for this i remebered a crack mystic messenger fanfiction and a reader/saeran fanfic. also a saeran/mc fanfic except its just unrequited. dunno where that is though

the problem is that i saved most of them as pdfs but they got erased so i can’t pull em up ;v; [can def search though, it shouldn’t take too much]

also we need more deemo fanfiction. fluffy fanfiction!!! its a need

uhh the ones i can find easily cause the tag is small is a TPoH au where RGB and Hero swap places!!!! it seems discontinued but i love it?????

one shot there’s a cute fic where niko goes to the world outside the computer. entity/author makes me go ‘why would you’ though. this fandom needs more non angsty fiction tbh

1bh have you read the fic where nahashi gives out hearts and stuff???? its so cute!!!! theres also a series where nanashi dates everyone! or like u kno people his age. the aria/nanashi is p cute!!!

fortuna wise everything is so great!!!!!!!! theres a small stack of fanfiction right now but i love them all????? like if you want me to ramble i will but you’re not done w/ fortuna so i won’t but!!!! Its so good this fandom is small but!!!! the helios fanfics and the apollo fanfics also the cobalt fanfic but you haven’t met her maybe??? also the o class but you gotta read the cosmosdex not fortuna for that and!!!

okay anyways point being i love people’s writings goodbye

Vigilante Partner in Crime!Wonwoo Pt 1

so like i made this too long bUT I HAVE OVERWHELMING FEELS FOR WONWOO THAT WILL NOT BE TAMED!!! DONT TRY TO STOP ME!!! since requests are OPEN rn, plEASE SEND ME THEM AND DONT FORGET TO READ THE FAQ AND RULES BEFORE DOING SO!!! c:

Part 1 | Part 2

well yall here is my funeral :)))

I love these types of tropes but i am honestly trash for any and all types of aus

Also guys!!!! This is inspired by the show miraculous ladybug I LOVE LADYNOIR SO THIS AU IS BASED ON THEM THAT SHOW IS GR8 IDC IF ITS MEANT FOR KIDS MOST OF THE FANDOM IS AT LEAST LATE TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS LMAO CHECK IT OUT YALL

I love this man a lOT A LOT A LOT SO MUCH anywayz let’s get moving

For decades your city has been struck by bad luck relentlessly

The amount of robberies and murders are going through the roof

Walking in broad daylight is just a little less dangerous than night

Ever since you were young, your parents warned you about the dangers in the streets and of the world

You, being the fiery little ball of justice you were, insisted on helping out the people when you grow older

As you did grow older, you noticed the law enforcement was just so,,,,

Lacking

Like your grandma could probably do a better job

And in this au she definitely could but we’ll get to there maybe in part 2 ;)))

You were just a lowly college student working part time jobs here and there to financially support yourself but you also had another “job” that not even your parents knew about

That’s right, you were a vigilante

You had always been athletic since your early years, and you took up many self defense trainings, martial arts, the works

It’s been a good few years since you started the “job” and you were damn good at it

Ofc you had to conceal yourself for safety purposes you wore a sleek black suit and a matching mask to go with it

Think of catwoman except well… you’re doing the opposite of what she is LOL

However, a year or two into your job, another mysterious vigilante appeared

You were in the middle of tracking down a bank robbery and you were hiding behind a building from afar when all of a sudden

“So are we going from behind”

You whirled around to see an unfamiliar face staring back jesus christ boy

He’s wearing a similar black outfit: a black long sleeve and pants made out of some special polyester or something that’s flexible and ofc we can’t forget about his matching mask!!!

“Um excuse me?? This is my mission not yours go find another city or something”

“Who says there’s only one spotlight? Better make some room bonnie ;)”

Ugh dear god who let him

You’re done listening to this weird odd man and need to refocus on the robbery so you’re just like uhuh keep talking clyde

“Look are we gonna stay here all night talking about who is fighting who or are we gonna stop these incompetent burglars?”

“Ooh feisty aren’t we? ;);););) don’t worry babe there will be plenty of time for us to talk later. Now for real our game plan-”

And that’s how you and wonwoo became the iconic bonnie & clyde partners in crime

Ofc you still don’t reveal your identities to each other bc where’s the fun in that lmao!!!!

The public still doesn’t know who you both are and highkey lowkey ships yall

You’re working at the local convenience store for your college and a tall, lean boy walks in

You nearly drop the box you were rearranging

This boi is damn fine and you’ve never seen him around campus at all

And get this!!!! He is wearing the same uniform as you!!!!

THANK THE HEAVENS YOU’RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH JEON WONWOO

You can feel the blush creeping up on your cheeks and you’re just like pls chill @myself???? You literally just met the man????

Haha not really but you’re both oblivious

“Hi… are you y/n?”

HE KNOWS YOUR NAME OHMYGODHDGHLAND HIS DEEP VOICE I AM YELLING “u-u-um yes??? Are you new here?”

“Yea,,, our boss said since you’ve been working here for a while you would be showing me the ropes around today”

Gdi why didn’t anyone let you know about a hot guy who you were gonna show around today is not your best looking day tbh

(but that’s ok bc i never have good days anywAYS)

You mentally facepalm yourself and curse your boss but you just put on a smile “:))) then yes I am y/n I guess I will be showing you around today :))))”

He gives you this cutest small smile ever i’m bawling

At first you were intimidated by him because of the cold aura he had going on but he’s a literal walking meme??? A smol child that needs to be protected????

Oh but little did you know :’)))

Surprisingly you get along with the guy who introduced himself as Wonwoo and you’re loving every moment :)))

You and wonwoo end up having similar shifts and since you work there often you also get to see him a lot too :’)))

You and wonwoo are practically besties in a matter of weeks bc of the lack of human contact you have with all your studies and jobs :(

And saving the world but like yea that goes for both of yall

You’re constantly cracking jokes with him and he does that cUTE NOSE CRINKLE!!!11!!!111

YOU ARE SPECIAL TO HIM

One day y’all were just so tired and stressed from not only academics but also recent events in your city like just lET US BREATHE

And you were both concerned about each other obv but

danger❗❗❗ danger❗❗❗ danger❗❗❗ y’all were sO CLOSE!!! TO SPILLING THE BEANS!!!

You just haven’t trusted someone in so long but there’s a reason why you both do your jobs anonymously

You both quickly try to change the subject and it works since both of you want to continue being off the radar so the conversation shifts

One day wonwoo surprises you with a gift!!!

“Omg wonwoo you really didn’t have to,,,, here let me repay you-”

“No no!! I got this bc it reminded me of you,,, and i,,,, wanted to,,,,”

bLUSH

It’s a cute little bracelet with the words “partner in crime” engraved on the golden band HAHA GET IT

You look at him confused with a hint of a smile on your lips and he’s like

“This is for all the times we secretly snuck food in the back to eat LOL thanks for being a real friend y/n :)”

JESUS CHRISTLTSJT MY HEART CANNOT TAKE THIS I LOVE HIM

You are melting!!111!! How sweet is this guy!!111!!

Later that night you’re on yet another mission with wonwoo

And ofc he immediately takes notice of the bracelet

“ooooh is that from your boyfriend?” and he feels a tinge of jealousy bc this boy has already developed a hardcore crush on you

“Why, are you worried bonnie is gonna leave you?”

“nO I WAS JUST WONDERING”

“Chill clyde nothing for you to worry about. Someone special,” you delicately touched the band, “gave this to me” you said as a grin spread

pOOR WONWOO BBY HE LEGIT THINKS YOU LIKE SOMEONE ELSE and he silently sulks and just says “o-oh..!! Must be nice”

And you don’t catch the quick forlorn look in his eyes before he switches back to his flirty self and you’re just like sigh ok clyde pls focus on the mission

wonwoo is just bugging out (no pun intended) about that bracelet you wore bc it looks familiar

But bc he’s dense and so are you he doesn’t put two and two together no offense reader but c’mon

One night yall are doing your saving the world routine and it gets dangerous since this mission is more large scale than your other ones

In other words it’s a lot more dangerous than your typical ones

let’s just say you had a little wardrobe mishap and aLMOST GOT YOUR MASK TAKEN OFF

Wonwoo was SO CLOSE!!! TO DISCOVERING WHO YOU WERE!!!

You were in the middle of hand-in-hand combat and you were quick enough to duck the guy’s blow but not quick enough to completely avoid it (which is rare for you)

Fortunately wonwoo came in time and finished off the guy as you quickly ran off and adjusted your mask

As you were adjusting it you heard his voice behind you

“Is it… so bad to reveal ourselves?”

You freeze. Bc well,,, that was the whole point of all this vigilante thing going on

“Can’t we just,,,, keep it between us?”

You finish adjusting your mask and turn back to him with a sad smile

“I’m sorry clyde… i hope you respect that”

At this point all the bad guys were taken care of and all you do is hurry back home, leaving wonwoo staring at your rapidly disappearing shadow

Wonwoo could have sworn when your mask was slightly tilted he thought he caught a glimpse of your face but it was too dark and too fast that he brushed it off

You and wonwoo spend the rest of the night contemplating on the whole mystery concept you’ve both kept up for years

Maybe it was better this way,,, so you wouldn’t have any attachment to each other

Bc in the end, the vigilante thing is gonna end one day and you don’t wanna have to go through the pain of separating based on your emotions

So y’all are forever stuck in this weird af love square,,,, wITH YOURSELVES

Might make a part 2 if highly requested!!!!!!

[icy-blue-rose]

What's the first show you watched from start to finish?

Dont remember most of the shows I watched when I was younger so I cant REALLY answer but if it's what I can remember then Burst Angel maybe? D.Gray man?

What book have you read more than three times?

There's alot ahaha especially if including manga, but for novels I'd have to say I read the first and third part of the Warriors series alot when I was younger.

Also Tigers Curse Book 1 (wasnt fond of how the other books went down...) but I would reread that book ALL the time.

What tropes do you never tire of?

Rivals-Lovers. First Kiss. "It was always you"

Reforemed villains (not necessarily redeemed) and REFORMED DELINQUENTS, I live for this one okay?

So many people are meh about it but?

Bad childhood/simply bad choices and terrible crowd bad boy/girl likes puppies and kittens and is actually soft?

The big bad character that just goes soft from being shown affection, care and all those things they have have experienced before?

I adore it.

Honestly I love ALOT of tropes if done right. So its impossible for me to list them all.

What tag on a fic sends you running for the hills?

NTR and Cheating. Love triangle. (Sometimes rape, depends on the story tbh) There is also some kinks that I also cant handle on most days.

Like tbh I can handle most themes if done right (yeah even Cheating/Ntr I've seen done in ways that actually made a good readable story but this is very rare) however in general I HATE IT SO MUCH NOPE IM OUT, it makes me feel like vomiting is how much I hate those 2.

The love triangle is a bit iffy because like sometimes I can handle it, again, if done in a certain way but I hate love triangle's so much.

What piece of media disappointed you so much you stopped liking it? (Watching/Reading)

Hmmmm there have been alot aha.

I don't watch TV anymore

(tv shows just feel so...meh and I rarely like movies that come out, so you could say American Media as a WHOLE has disappointed me to the point I've almost completley dropped it, spare the odd movie.

Yeah that's right, I dropped a whole industry because I hate it🥴)

But I guess the first thing that comes to mind is Miraculous Ladybug and Voltron.

I wasnt super into voltron but like...urrrrg it makes me mad. Had to drop.

Miraculous on the other hand had an interesting concept to me (what can I say, I like magical girls) but I dropped it.

I just...it could have been so much better (ik it's a kid show but even AS a kids show it could have been better, and as a 14+ show? It could have been AMAZING)

Are you in a fandom where FF is better than the original?

Mmm tbh I don't like reading FF very much, tho I love reading Headcanons and Drabbles for certain ships and stuff, I cant really enjoy a FF, there's only been a couple that I've read and liked.

It also doesn't help that my vision has gotten worse so reading a novel isnt something I do anymore unless I think the story is 10,000% worth the pain it puts my eyes through.

(I wish people would make more Art/Comic FF tho, like a doujinshi, used to read alot of that. But people dont really make them for the ships/fandoms I'm in so it sucks.)

However! I can say that I think FF/Fanon MLB is better than Canon aha.

Are there any fandoms you're in where Fanon is worse than Canon?

(Thought I'd add this since the last question was a dud for me)

But YES. Definitely.

Tbh there are a few fandoms where the Fanon content drives me crazy.

Sometimes its personal preference but alot of the times it's from a critical standpoint.

(I probably shouldn't list the fandoms though cause I dont need that drama in my life.)

(Also I'm too tired to remember all the fandoms because I just dont interact with stuff I dont like/bothers me like I used too ahaha *interact= reading and looking at stuff and opinions NOT interacting= harassment, I'm not okay with that at all*)

I want to start another ask game 😁

What's the first show you watched from start to finish?

Dragon Ball Z, later CSI New York

What book have you read more than three times?

I read all my books more than once, but the one I read so often I know it by heart is probably Eragon. (And it's not even that good 😂)

What tropes do you never tire of?

Idiots in love, first kiss, love confessions (I'm a sap, I know)

What tag on a fic sends you running for the hills?

Apart from rape and dubcon, ABO, wild AUs and some really weird kinks ppl seem like to explore with BL characters (tentacles??) (Please, I don't mean that in a kinkshaming way, by all means, enjoy your tentacly smut, it just doesn't do anything for me is what I'm saying)

What piece of media disappointed you so much you stopped liking (watching, reading,...) it?

Most recently Supernatural, before that Eragon (the latest book is not that bad tbh, I'm just still cranky about the ending of #4), before that Roswell New Mexico (the old one).

Are you in a fandom where the FF is better than the original?

Guardian. Definitely Guardian. Apart from that, most of the time I ship rarepairs, so naturally the original content doesn't offer much and I'm very grateful for AO3 😁

I would really love to read your answers, but don't feel pressured 💕💕 Also, feel free to add more and tag me back 😁

nooope. but i love them.

If 7 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be?

well i mean my bbies have not yet realised how in love they are but... i’d just hope they got bacl 2gether soon

Why is 1 so important?

It’s meant a lot to me over the years. It introduced me to fandom (and in turn, to friends). I love their story, which is central to the entire series and yet still leaves room for the imagination. I love the narrative of these two kids with strong convictions growing up in the middle of a war, falling in love and giving up everything for the sake of their family. I love how the readers have found these voices for these characters who barely got to speak. I love that in the few scenes we do see of them, they steal our hearts. I just love them a lot.

honestly, ayesha’s answer is it all

Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?

wELL. DEREK IS DEAD SO. but when they were together it was serious and funny sobs

Out of all of your ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?

Which ship has lasted the longest?

all my babies love each other so much i cant

How many times, if ever, has 6 broken up?

YALL THESE 2 ARE LIKE. naoki kisses her. then almost marries another woman and realises he loves kotoko sjnfjkre theyre terrible theyre tHE WorSt

If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8?

sasuke and sakura would be so baddass so im so sorry taki and mitsuha but yOU GOT NO CHANCE

Did 7 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?

AAA thank you i'd thought i'd be killed for those asks! but for realsies though... while chloe IS still 15 shes done a lot of shit and that can't just be excused with 'she's young' if ppl are going to say the same shit abt lila? but honestly though.... give my girl lila chance to grow if you guys will do the same for chloe. #endlilahate2017, we can do better than this (on another topic: lila demonization in fanfic grosses me out too)

naw u rite. chloe cant be redeemed just like that. she has to grow and develop and apologize for her behavior before she can be cosidererd redeemed. she is also a victim of Bad writing imo, and is mostly a tool to cause lots of akumas and give marinette another antagonist. but like even despite that she gets sooo much sympath in comparison to lila.

imo lila has harmless explanations (not excuses) for all her “bad” behavior. like, new girl, no friends, ofc she gonna try and get ppl to like her. lila is probably very insecure tbh and really needs ppl to validate her, so she gets attention via lying and stuff. she never djd anythinv to outright harm anyone until after ladybug’s outburst (before anyones like Oh No, Lila Stole a Book, remember mari stole adriens Phone, both girls did these things to keep adrien’s perceptions of themselves good), and even then she was under the influence of an akuma.

but for chloe, even if she does have Explanations, like often goes out of her way to make disparaging remarks. her attitude has much more consequences in comparison to lila. chloe has literally caused several people to feel so bad that they get akumatized: nathanael, alya, alix, maris uncle, sabrina, kim, i think mylene too…. probably more. she takes pics of her classmates in embarrassing positions and sends them to the whole class (kim), has her only friend steal things from marinette (diary and hat design), sabotages mari’s uncle at the food competition and more. The only “third dimenson” to her character i can remember seeing is her smiling once when sabrina comes back to her, and even then its probably more for herself rather than for valuing sabrina.

like i said before i dont think chloe is irredeemable but she has to go thru some major development before she becomes a decent human being. the Only times ive liked chloe is when people have written her development really well in fic, she has a long way to go in canon.

tl;dr chloe has done way worse things than lila and still gets lots of sympathy in comparison to her, this is probably due to some racism in the fandom combined with the fact that the volpina we all thought would be a hero turned out to be an akuma (also chloe has been around the whole season, lila only been here for 1). and if zag is going to redeem someone who frequently bullies people to the point of akumatization, they better be “redeeming” someone who just wanted people to like her.

(also ngl, the only love square fic i read was before volpina came out, and since then ive just turned to reading rarepair fic so ive managed to safely avoid a lot of lila demonization. idk why but the love square is just like…. Bleugh to me)
