#thoma is now my best friend

[anotherferalrat]

Imma say it.

From what I've seen so far...

Thoma is a sweeter version of Childe

Well-connected and seems to know everyone and be everywhere, flirty/charismatic (for better or worse), I'm sure there's more but I literally just started this quest like an hour ago sooo...

[soullessjack]

so im on s5 of miraculous and i keep thinking about cat noirs whole “kept at a distance” arc bc it’s genuinely really interesting but gets so wasted by always winding up with him basically validating ladybugs nonsensical decisions and treatment—the same treatment that we were already shown upset him enough to destroy public properly about it. the most consistent reason LB ever gives cat about why he can’t be fully trusted or relied on is that he’s too much of a liability for their partnership to work—either because he’s too reckless, too in love with her, or his cataclysm would be too dangerous to use.

whatever it is, the baseline is that she thinks he’s a liability, and obviously that’s like salt in the wound for cat since he genuinely loves her and enjoys being partners with her, but it’s also just sad to see him continue to respect her decision and act like it isn’t a problem for him when he’s literally upset enough to physically lash out and use his powers to do so. and I know a lot of it can probably be explained by ladybug’s experience in the cat blanc timeline, but 1) she starts holding him at a distance way before that even happens, 2) she’s actively making it worse by not telling cat noir about cat blanc and why she thinks she has to exclude him for his own safety, and 3) SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM ABOUT CAT BLANC TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE IT’S LITERALLY A WORLD ENDING SITUATION INVOLVING HIM DIRECTLY‼️‼️‼️‼️

instead she just allows him think he’s unwanted and unnecessary, calls the shots on how he should feel about “having more free time” and ironically makes him even more susceptible to being Akumatized because of it. ladybug might not be aware that cat is adrien and has a terrible home life he actively uses his miraculous to escape from, but she’s playing right into all the key aspects that adrien resents from his father; she decides what he wants without considering or asking him, she trusts him conditionally and still distances herself enough for him to just not know certain things. it’s done with good intentions, but it still clearly affects adrien very poorly, and it’s just such a frustrating glass-chewing miscommunication that only needlessly complicates the situation

don’t even get me started on Kuro Neko where ladybug falls head over heels for the changed version of her partner and narrowly avoiding her having to actually screw up and learn a lesson about accepting cat for who he actually is because catwalker is just “too perfect” for her to function—instead of being an obedient idealized version of her best friend who lets her be in control of everything (WHEN ADRIEN LITERALLY USES HIS DOUBLE LIFE TO HAVE THE CONTROL HE DOESN’T GET AT HOME).

theres so much potential for the base concept of the miraculous of destruction and its Kwami/holder being distrusted outliers among the rest of the Kwami/holders, but the magic system sucks and it kind of loses any chance when the other Kwamis are established to be catastrophic if they use their powers without a holder. and it gets even more confusing if you consider that Fu specifically chose adrien to hold that miraculous, but then encourages Marinette to keep her distance from him and barely acknowledges him as a hero in general. Like why did you even bother testing adrien for his worthiness or whatever if you obviously don’t think he’s worthy of knowing anything about you or the rest of the miraculous OR his best friend’s identity??? but you’re totally okay with her just giving them out to anyone in Paris who’s conveniently around and having her know their identity???? master fu when I catch you master fu

auugghhhfgg I don’t know the magic system thing could be its own separate post but likeeeeee I just think the miraculous of destruction whos constantly mistrusted for no reason and goes Kamehameha Krazy in another timeline is very special and could be treated so much better if the writers were good at their job and didn’t make every character’s sole purpose be validating ladybug/marinette even when she’s in the wrong

Maybe its cause I haven't seen Gotham Knights yet that I dont get it, but like why did they create Turner Hayes????

Bruce Wayne already has like 6 kids (3 adopted sons, 1 adopted daughter, 1 biological son & whatever Duke is right now). Why create another one????? You could have used one of the existing ones....

Family is just not blood. It can be a traumatized man, who dresses as a goddamn bat. The butler who raised him, an orphaned acrobat, a smart kid living in the bad part of town, a kid who just wanted Batman to have another robin, a girl raised to be a weapon, a son raised across the world from him trained by assassin's, and a teenage boy whosecs parents are joker victims. It comes from bonding over one small things that leads to years of happiness. It comes with bumps and bruises, quite days, fights that are practically feral, and this feeling of love.

i shouldn't be so nervous to post stuff about my more specific "just me" hyperfixations / comfort media fr

[wri0thesley]

Your post got me thinking-

Yandere Diluc or Ayato makes you wash the ALL the clothes as punishment for escaping cause they know how much you hate it.

they both LITERALLY have maids and housekeepers for that why would they mock me like this!!! i'm going to go all pouty and sniffly to thoma and flirt with him until he agrees to do it for me. it might make ayato mad but it's worth it to not do laundry

Hellooooo mun! If you met your muse, how do you think that convo would go?

🖌️; ..... convo? if we end up having one at all 💀

like let's be honest. if i go to an art exhibition and see someone as refined as he is? like the aura he gives off? i am not going up to him to strike up a conversation first, not unless i have to 😭 it's less about me being shy and more about just... really. what's the use. i'm at a gallery to look at art not go out of my way to talk to people, especially not someone who looks busy 😭 maybe if i end up having to call him over to ask about a painting, or something, but that's pushing it. he'll have to make the first move, and even then it's probably like ,, in a more formal setting and our conversation would be. walled? mostly impersonal? probably focused on i dunno... technicalities?

it'll take frequent trips to the gallery to build up into a more casual conversation kind of relationship, def. but i do to get along well with people like thomas, once we actually start talking! he has the kind of personality i'd be comfortable to sit in silence with, and that's always important to me in building close relationships since i'm not... super talkative. plus- intellectual conversations. i might not be a chatty person in general, but i woud be sitting him down to talk art interpretation and whatnot. i do art too, and it's just? feels like it would be an honor to talk with him about it? and he feels like the kind of person who has such pretty and introspective thoughts on things, which i'd absolutely love to have conversations on, too <3

wherher or not i'd end up falling for him after some time (because it's definitely not an immediate "ooh he's cute, i wanna date him" thing) remains to be seen, but. spending time with him, whether platonic or romantic? it's giving chill cafe hangouts, visiting museum to about the art together, dinner at some fancy place, late night talks on the phone, "hey i want to hear your thoughts on this"—and i'm telling you. it's a whole vibe i'm here for <3

God its been almost 30 years since the Dunblane massacre and it still breaks my heart I cannot fathom any country's politics withstanding even one mass school shooting. Jesus christ. The class picture of all those weans absolutely breaks my heart and I can only hope that other places take the same lesson of Never Let This Happen Again.

[star--anon]

it's because Gally sticks to his gut (and sometimes fear can get you irrational), and Alby is sticks to the rules (and sometimes the rules make you leave a few behind), and Newt sticks to his heart (and sometimes the heart hurts)

because Thomas needs someone who'll stick with him no matter what and Minho needs someone who'll keep moving forward despite it all
