Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's shitty cage fight is off to a good start.

[beef-unknwn]

alright. i said some stuff on twtr that i wanna say here too plus some other stuff (id under the cut) (btw sorry if the id sux im typing it out myself and ive never done that before)

ID: A thread of posts by Twitter User: Kai Unknown (me) about his opinions on the relationship dynamic between Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Chat Noir from the series 'Miraculous Ladybug'

The thread goes as follows:

i feel like the adrien/chat and marinette/ladybug dynamic should've been more like this:

okay before we actually talk about their dynamic lets talk about their individual dichotomies, starting with mari/lb

marinette is clumsy and can be seen as unlucky, but despite this she makes the best out of bad situations. ladybug is the embodiment of good luck and she never really has to worry all too much about things going wrong (put a pin on ladybug here)

adrien was born into luxury and can be seen as lucky but he wants to escape. hes a bird in a cage and his time as chat allows him to be free. he feels more like himself as chat kinda like how batman feels about his identities

mari is adriens first friend outside of chloe and he sees that they are oh so different. he starts to admire how she seems to find light in dark places and maybe its more than platonic..

mari, on the other hand, just sees him as the popular guy she'll never be able to be with so she doesn't really care much about him outside of being his friend. (a role reversal, if you will)

however, as ladybug shes pressured to save the day. she doesn't feel like herself as ladybug, its a persona, a chore. she doesnt want to be ladybug but she has to be and when she sees chat be more passionate about hero work SHE admires HIM; therefore becoming more motivated

yeah, yeah it's just a reverse of their dynamic but i feel like this simple change would've made their characters more interesting idk

(End ID)

gosh that was tiresome to re-type. anyhow uhh

due to twitter's filthy character limits i wasnt able to fully show my point. but thanks to tumblr's virtually infinite character limit i can!

so like you read, this simple role reversal could really make for interesting dynamics.

Adrien was raised by virtually no parents. His only friend ever was Chloe. I feel like he should've been more snooty like her but feel way bad about it. And soon he meets Mari who's like "Woah! Okay, jerk." but she's still like "Here. Have a macaron. Jerk (be nicer next time)" and Nino is also there "Yo, dude! Way harsh! Tone it done, why don't you?" so he starts becoming a better person (way faster than Chloe) Nino being super chill is like the best influence ever. And Mari? aka The Really Nice Bakery Girl Who Gave Up Her Umbrella For You (You Jerk)? Yeah, he's got good influences all around.

But.. That's not quite the end of his story, is it? He still wants an escape from this caged life he's been living. I mean, sure he goes to school and photoshoots and fencing but he never gets to go out when HE wants to. He still has to follow a routine. Until...

Chat Noir. It's his chance to break out and fly and see all sorts of things he could only glimpse at from the window where his cage sits by. He finally gets to feel the breeze in his hair without it being manufactured for a commercial. He gets to jump around and do stunts without it being shot take after take for some brand deal. His chains no longer bound him. This is he.

Now, Mari (sorry for shortening her name all the time it's literally 1am and I have school) She's the local bakers' girl. She's clumsy, kind and looks for the best parts in people. Although, this girl's got a bad case of imposter syndrome.. She's too hard on herself even though she's probably the best person in town, ever. Alya being her bff is like the best foil to this. Mama hypes her up better than a cheerleader squad.

Her imposter syndrome only grows worse when she is appointed as ladybug. She's the most humble dumbass ever and outright refuses to use the miraculous until whoops! The town is seriously in danger, sis. We need to MOVE.

When she sees Chat Noir so happy doing hero work, saving citizens, helping people; she's reminded that this is a BIG responsibility but she gets to help. She still thinks she isn't worthy of being Ladybug until Chat tells her something along the lines of "I don't think I'm worthy either. I'm kind of a jerk actually haha... But now.. I get to be something else.. something better. I get to be a myself.. I get to be.. a hero"

A hero. Someone.. people notice.. right? So, if she's Ladybug, people will notice her. Right? It's not about attention or fame or anything she's just.. never really felt.. Important. And now she's realizing that 'Oh shit. Right. I'm a hero now and heroes are important. I'm important. I'm.. Important..'

So yeah anyway essay over I'm sleepy go home, everybody.
