Happy Thursday The 20th

I am having a crisis

type “i am” in the tags and whatever comes up first is your new mandatory kin

Part 206 of my bakery “enemies” au!

THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!

Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!

For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

i watched one (1) video on how to draw hands that changed my life forever. like. i can suddenly draw hands again

My mom wants to know what we'll be doing and she wants me home by 8

I was living my best Pinterest life when:

And that's canon!

I think a running theme in this season of Miraculous Ladybug is that everyone is making mistakes. Obviously the undertone for the season is trust and lies (the first 2 episodes). But in this season all those misguided lies and half truths are going to pile up into some big grand event. And I can't wait to see it all unfold. Nobody is "right" in this season. There's a lot going on that should really not be. Ladybug should be telling her partner about all the new developments. Chat Noir should be voicing his concerns with Ladybug. Alya shouldn't have gone behind Marinette's back to tell her boyfriend after Mari asked her to keep it a secret. Nino shouldn't have outed his and his girlfriend's hero identities to Adrien. And Luka shouldn't have lied to Ladybug. We're watching two cars driving towards each other at full speed, just waiting for the crash.

One take that I keep seeing on Wishmaker is that Luka did his job and made the right decision and was being selfless.

No. He f***ing lied.

Luka had 2 jobs. Reset time if Ladybug and/or Chat noir got hit. And figure out how to stop Wishmaker.

Luka had time to see Ladybug and Chat noir get hit. He had a full 5 seconds use the bracelet instead of staring like a goldfish. WE KNOW it takes a bit before the magic kicks in. That is Luka's window.

Now in the case of Ladybug. You could argue he was mortified he accidentally deflected the blast at her. Maybe not really knowing how much time he had. Fair. Give him the first one because he didnt know how fact acting it was and likely was stunned by his actions.

But he has no excuse for Chat noir. As soon as he saw him get hit. He should have known to close his eyes and reset immediately.

Afterward, he tells Ladybug that her and Chat noir's identities are safe. Now in this instance. This is not a lie. He is not in anyway letting on that he knows. And he is saying the truth.

But then she asks before leaving if it was safe even from him.

This is where he ACTIVELY deceives her. She asked him if he knew. Her putting trust in him to tell her honestly and he lied.

This is a flaw, a selfish lie. This is something that should not be commended. But it is something that makes him interesting as a character.

I think that him making a call like this would be interesting, it should have some repercussions. But I hate how people glorify it as some grand choice and that what he did wasnt wrong . If he was being selfless he would have ADMITTED he saw. He would accept the failure and even if Marinette was mad at him for it.

This action is wrong and selfish. Stop being like

"Oh ItS cAuSe He CaReS aBoUt HeR fEeLiNgS."

No, if anything he would know how CRUCIAL this secret was. Considering how she couldnt tell him. The fact that he knows without her KNOWLEDGE AND ACTIVELY lied to her about knowing when asked. He is violating her trust.

Its a selfish action, it makes him flawed. Makes him more relatable. Simply accept that.

It makes me hopeful they do something with this. Perhaps have it come to bite him in the butt.

oh no, no, nonononononono you don’t get to retcon the first series basically being an all white cast because now you’ve realized it’s Not A Great Look by blaming publishing standards and pretending that annabeth is presented as anything other than a blonde white girl in the text or any of the marketing material ever.

you wrote her as white! you wrote all the main characters as white and made it very clear when the secondary characters weren’t! it’s fine to admit you just had a blind spot and self-corrected with HoO and the other series!!! you don’t get to go back and retroactively collect diversity points by pretending annabeth is in any way presented as racially ambiguous in the text now that you’ve decided to make a tv show!!!! gaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
