🚩🚩🚩 Red Flags Your Girlfriend is Doing Which Means You Should Break Up With Her Immediately 🚩🚩🚩
1) Knowing your abuser was a terrible person but still choosing to gaslight you
2) Gaslighting you about your abuser
3) Blackmailing your Father's business associate with jail time if they don't gaslight you too
4) Actively sabotaging your interviews
5) Getting mad because you're prioritizing self healing over toxic positivity
6) Guilt tripping her best friend into lying for her even though said best friend has made it clear that crosses her moral values
7) Making your trauma about her feelings
8) Infantilizing you by saying you can't handle learning the truth about your abuser even though you're the one who literally lived with him (no image because this is literally the entire episode)
At this point, marinette losing her memories and a dramatic "the title actually refers to Alya and Adrien" reveal (as originally speculated from, i think, timetagger) might be the only way to save the franchise.
It wont salvage marinette, mind you. She is unfixable,
actually yeah...
Remember a while ago i said that Lila is a renapace antagonist, not a marinette villain?
I think the writers might genuinely know that.
Futurebug being deliberately ambiguous but talking like alya (not my theory, would credit op if i remembered who) on its own was weird.
But the way this season keeps bringing up Alya's family, sometimes in very forced ways (forced Nora's ex line, forced optische in grendiaper, forced halfsibling line, not one but two of the final episodes being her siblings if dirtifiers hold true), that is suspect.
But Nora getting the Luka treatment? That is the undeniable proof to me. There us no reason to put anyone into another country besides setting up a special by creating a connection at this point. And neither Nora or Shanghai make any sense if marinette remains protagonist, mari has no link to Nora, and preexistant connections to shanghai.
But if Alya gets protagged? Suddenly that makes sense.
Meanwhile Adrien getting amnesia powers makes a lot more sense if we're about to frame him for mari's post-guardian ammesia so he can Whump her after she once more flees accountability and concequence.
It also makes sense that Marinette wants to make Alya the new guardian and Ladybug if things go wrong and/or if she gets her memories erased.
But like I genuinely don't want her to get her memories erased just because it would then be impossible for the rest of the cast to get mad at her for stuff she genuinely doesn't remember to do and would just be treated as a victim from now on. Like that would be cowardly.
Not to mention it would probably make her forget all about Adrien (since she met him after getting her earrings) and him being a sentimonster and all the gashlighting and manipulation and lying she did in his name, I just don't like the idea of her getting kind of absolved of it all just because her memories would be permanently erased.
It wouldn't solve her problems or anyone elses, it would just be running away permanently from it all, and honestly it would be a terrible look on her to get that.
I am not so sure how she would be backed up in a corner so hard like Fu was in Miracle Queen that she would need to do that, I would see her using her naming Alya as her succesor as her running away from everything she stood for and protected and fought for.
It just wouldn't be a good message no matter how hard you look at it.
Adrien deserves better than not getting any closure from her removing her memories of their time together, after he got denied his closure with his dad, his own closure with his own girlfriend would really be even more of an insult to his entire character.
yup, pretty much my feelings on it too.
Though i think the guardianship only takes guardian memories? So she'd get whunped back to s3-ish? Not pre-cannon?
They did to Gabriel, I still don't like how they planned an easy escape from consequences of his actions. They sure can erase their pure girlboss fav character's memories.
Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling
“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love
To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.
I became a tattoo artist at 49.
Married the love of my life at 50.
Got my Class A CDL at 59.
You've got time.
As long as you're breathing, you've got time.
my wife’s so cute because we both love animals so much but her way is very pure and genuine whereas my family is:
me, holding up my cat: stinky
wife: no!! don’t be mean!!!
me, swaying him back and forth in the air: stinky bastard man
wife: No!!!!!!!!
my mother, not looking up from chopping veggies: naughty boy. brat cat
wife, distraught: NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In case anyone doubted the validity of my claims:
The wife:
The mom:

IS THIS THE ORIGINAL OMG
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be making soup. and you'll have to add the noodles to the broth. and you'll think "these aren't enough noodles for this much broth". this is the devil speaking. no matter how thin the noodles are, you will put too many and they will soak up so much liquid that you'll end up with a soggy block of noodles.
I rewatch the show and God, it still feel refreshing that they don't scream their bending moves like "air ball" or "water whip" or something similar stupid.
Sometimes you think that you want to disappear but all you really want is to be found.
There will be a lot of posts soon from people sharing how much they achieved in 2025. But in case someone needs to hear this... it's okay if the only thing you did this year was just get through it.
THEY ARE SO CUTE
