liking a character from a thing you don’t like
So... TA just literally straight up admitted he doesn't think villains should be likeable at all, aka admitting why his writing for villains who are "irredeemable evil monsters" sucks so much.
"I personally won't go that way anymore, and instead make sure that villains can't be liked, and only provoke strong rejection." (Taking screenshots is more annoying on desktop, but you can literally see it in his reply tab posted a few hours ago.)
Like, villains being likeable as characters (which is not the same thing as being likable as a person and I am absolutely losing my mind over how many people refuse to learn the difference) are literally what makes a good villain. A villain is barely a character (at best just a plot device) if they're not enjoyable to watch.
I can't even say I'm suprised TA literally proved my point.
Anyway realistically I think staying on Nazi Twitter at this point is just... not psychologically recommendable. Even before the nazi take-over, the site's algorithm was already set up to boost engagement by figuring out whatever will ragebait and distress you the most, and then constantly throwing that into your face. The user interface was set up against reasonable interactions and actual in-depth communication. I imagine that the nazification of the site and the exodus of most of the comparatively reasonable portion of the userbase have probably made this worse. (But IDK personally, since I deleted the app around that time.)
I really love watching the off-screen version of Miraculous Ladybug! <3
many have asked questions such as “what is miraculous ladybug even about” but this has never before been answered. this is because nobody is quite sure. it’s impossible to know
does Anybody know. does anybody have any idea
Is he for freaking real
YEAH BECAUSE THAT'S MUCH BETTER
Im so excited for the off screen Chloe redemption where she comes back in s9, apologises and gets forgiven off screen between s9 and 10 and is best friends with everyone in s10
Oh dang, "it wasn't fast, it was offscreen" is absolutely how the Big Lie emotional fallout/reconciliation arc will go IF the narrative ever allows Adrien to find out anything about his life that Maribug has been lying to him about, isn't it?

Fandom: Did Félix just... apologize? Astruc: You know, it was really off-screen.
Did Tumblr get word that Félix's apology canonically happened off screen or do I have to be the one to do it again.
I'm going to milk the shit out of that quote. It's funny how his apology is now relegated to the same camp as Alya's apology and Audrey and André's divorce: Off-screen and never worth touching on again. Why does he do this? What does he gain? Does this make you feel smart, Tommy?
He is apparently unable write any sort of satisfying payoff to a narrative arc, so he just skips it. I mean, considering the attempted payoffs we get, maybe this is for the best.
Felix: I did what I had to.
Marinette:ah yes, clearly. I should have known you were in danger. It's my fault. I'm so sorry. Everything you did was justified.
Kagami:Yes, it is as I said, he just does not know how to communicate.
Felix:I'm glad we got that sorted. Now, I need to go make out with my cool azn sentigirlfriend.
Adrien:*coming from the mansion* Hey, anyone know where the Mountain Dew is?
(end scene)
Let me just say I don’t really care about an apology to Ladybug in the grand scheme of things that much. It’s something that would help his character a lot, but it wouldn’t fix all of his narrative problems. It happening off screen is poor practice in specific because the audience isn’t kept in the loop and is just expected to accept things as they are.
Adrian is just as pressing of a matter in regards to Felix, and yet we don’t see anything where they hash it out or come to an understanding. If they did off screen then it’s just poor writing for the audience, and even then him lying to Adrian undermines any apology he could make regarding the red moon incident as that was also done under the pretense of doing something he thinks Adrian would want. He made the same mistake twice and yet his hypothetical apology to Adrian, possibly happening around the same time, is supposed to be genuine?
It's an admission of how tangled and inavigable the current plot threads are. Who would Felix apologize to? What explanation would he give? The scene itself would beg so many questions that cannot be answered. Would he tell Cat Noir? Would Ladybug forbid him from telling Cat Noir? How would it come off and be in character? How involved in the conspiracy to lie to Adrien would people be?
They don't have the chops/will to do it well, bit instead of owning that and moving on TA needs to gaslight you with 'its not important.'
Are you fucking kidding me!?
For once he gives a straight answer. Call me shook.
"B-but Adrien will be so hurt if he finds out the truth" is such a shallow, thoughtless take that I simply can't take it seriously.
First of all, people seem to only think as far as "Adrien will have a complete meltdown", but never seem to think about why. Sure, Cat Blanc and Ephemeral exist, but in both of those episodes, the revelation gets unceremoniously dropped on him and exploited in the same moment. Of course he loses it, anyone would. In The Collector, where he's given the information away from Gabriel and his fuckwittery, he takes only a few seconds to collect (heh) himself before locking in. Like, Adrien isn't inherently some fragile baby, he's just in an emotionally unsafe environment, something no one in his life besides maybe Alya seems to be doing anything to help with.
Second and most importantly, it would've hurt a lot less if Marinette just told him in the first place instead of going through this whole brouhaha? Now it's not just his dad being terrible that Adrien has to deal with (something he was already aware of, btw), but also the fact that Marinette broke his trust.
All in all, Marinette embarked on this hare-brained scheme of lying to Adrien for basically no reason.
it is funny how Adrien Agreste, costar of a French cartoon show made for 7 year olds, is one of the most lied to guys to ever exist
I don't think a single person he knows has ever told him the full truth about anything ever. he has no idea that he lives inside of a pressure cooker
Yes I ship them. Non-canonically. Yes I know they got together in canon, it was a terrible decision, it made the story much worse. I don't want them together in the story, I just ship them. What's confusing.
