au where "chat noir" is adrien's drag queen persona and "ladybug" is marinette's online shop handle where she does commissions. ladybug makes chat noir's dresses and costumes and they chat a lot in DMs outside of that. they dont know each other's identities but ladybug often goes to see chat noir's performances and makes/hands out pride stuff for the club.
meanwhile adrienette are dating and performing cisheteronormativity so well that they have no clue that they are, in fact, both queer and entrenched in the community
Calling it now, Ryan’s going to win something weird each episode this season, and it’s parts of the professor’s remains or some shit. Or something similar.
Oh GOD YES!!!
It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.
HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.
They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.
They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).
Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.
The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.
Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.
The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
when she says she doesn’t send nudes
I haven't watched Jojo part 4 yet, but I keep looking at monotone fanart of Josuke, and every time a coloured image of him pops up, I get fucking shocked that he doesn't have a boob window the size of my house.
Constantly thinking of that one panel redraw from White chicks, where Terry Crews wins the auction and lifts up the federal agent in a bridal carry, but someone made it into Dick x Slade.
Okay, so I was going to do a medic TF2 sketch, and I made this. I can’t stop staring at his tits.
