i recall someone commenting on one of my love square fics saying they “hope they don’t become too codependent” as if that isn’t the goal. codependent and unhealthily obsessed with each other is the only way they should be

people will say here is my rewrite where the lovesquare isn’t Obsessive and Possessive and they don’t put each other on Pedestals and it’s Realistic. here’s my meta on why Gabriel never really romantically loved Emilie so I can safely ship him with Nathalie. why did Felix take out the entire world and try to make something new for Adrien? it’s just so weird to love someone so much and to put that in a story. my god why don’t we all watch paint dry and eat cornflakes and abstain from jerking off. you tuned into the obsessive over the top romance story you milquetoast walnut.
Just saw a post saying they haven't met a single Ladrien shipper since 2019. So please reblog this if you're a Ladrien shipper.
What do yall think? I’m a little rusty…
i actively avoid any miraculous ladybug hate specifically because it would just upset me i dont need negativity in my life im jumping through a medow of lala land of bliss of my special blorbos
I find it annoying when someone comments "They're cheating on each other with each other" or something like that on a ladynoir interaction/scene, especially when it's the most platonic interaction ever, ok bye
IVE BEEN MEANING TO SAY THIS, THANK YOU!
Seriously, what is that about? Everyone was saying it about that scene in the dirtifiers where they use cat noirs stick to see where they’re going, and cat noir holds her waist, and everyone was going on about how it was cheating… no he was holding her waist so she didn’t fall to her proverbial death? He wasn’t just going to let her balance on his leg and be like, “yeah good luck with that, I can’t hold onto you so you don’t fall because I have a girlfriend,”
Like come on 😭
I know the people are desperate for ladynoir in these trying times, and I get it, but can we not write it off as cheating, please? Ladynoir can be platonic (as twisted as it all is anyway, because they are dating but don’t know it yadda yadda), just as much as it could be romantic, but right now, it’s platonic because they don’t realise that their respective partners are each other.
They’re not flirting guys come on they’re just being old besties who have been through a lot together let’s be so real 💔
Mind your heart, M'Lady!
A+ entrance
The ladynoir moments were a HUGE highlight of these two episodes
oh how I have missed them
Upon her introduction to the series Kagami’s main weapon of choice is a foil, a sort of light weight blunted fencing rapier. This is however possibly also intended as a pun, because her purpose in the narrative is also a foil.
A word repeated changes it’s meaning.
Kagami means “mirror” in Japanese and as is often the case in fiction, that name gives us some insight to what the writers intended when imagining her. In this case, she’s a mirror/foil to both our main protagonists. But since Marinette and Adrien are already a Yin Yang couple, built on complimenting and contrasting each other all the way down to having their color schemes be each other’s negatives. So how does she manage to mirror them both?
Well, where is the mirror between you and your reflection? Right in the middle. She shows each of them themselves, but with a little bit reversed.
A foil exists to provide contrast; When Marinette’s too afraid to make a move Kagami’s bold and rushes straight ahead, when Adrien struggles to disobey his father her strong and stubborn will stands firm, when Marinette’s trying to self sabotage her best friends day contest Kagami’s making an earnest effort with Adrien’s quirky friend who he suggested she might like, when Adrien and Luka are too stunned to help up Marinette she makes her move, when Ladybug has a plan for a stealthy escape Ryuuko boldly attempts to fight Ikari Gozen, when Marinette’s clumsy and disoriented Kagami’s athletic and skilled, and when Adrien is unable to effectively comment why he can’t always be present for her Kagami is able to express why that lack of honesty won’t work for her.
A silvery foil is what gives a mirror it’s reflective surface, the things reflected on the other side will still match.
The Cat and Ladybug miraculouses always find each other through fate? Well Adrien and Kagami were literally made for each other.
She high society like Adrien.
She struggles to communicate and express herself like Marinette.
Adrien’s an anime nerd? Kagami reads manga and bases relationship advice off of them.
Marinette hates liars? Kagami’s reason for breaking up with Adrien also led to her becoming an Akuma that embodies her hatred for dishonesty.
She revels in tiny bits of rebellion with Adrien.
She tries to capture the world around her through art and even sketches and paints in her spare time like Marinette, she even paints with Marinette.
She tries to wingman for Adrien with Marinette like how Marinette tried to help her back together with him
She’s burdened by familial expectations like Adrien
She had a helmet removal scene that was literally copied for Marinette, both even happen at the front of the school
Ryuuko’s fighting style matches Chat’s, her main color scheme matches Ladybug’s, and her civilian attire has a white overcoat with a black under shirt like Adrien’s that give a perfect white/black futatsutomoe (☯️) with Marinette’s black jacket over a white shirt.
She’s obviously visually inspired by Marinette’s overall design with her hair and even her freckles are more prominent on the opposite side of her face than where Marinette’s are(Kagami has more overall but her’s are mainly on the left side of her face while Marinette’s are on the right)
When Adrien’s only parent is his father she’s left with only her mother
When Marinette has several friends to fall back on Kagami feels alone and when Adrien feels isolated Kagami’s there alongside his other friends
When we start to get clues about who is a senti-being we get scenes of both Kagami and Adrien
Both Marinette and Kagami have arcs about setting their own feelings aside to support the other
Both Adrien and Kagami have their image co-opted by their parents for a soulless ai assistant copy of themselves.
She even counterbalances their heroics by having some of the most akuma forms and by being one of the fastest to reveal her own identity
A foil has many uses in a narrative, and by letting her be a counterpart to two protagonists at once it has allowed her to become one of the most dynamic and fleshed out characters in the show, even if a lot of that was in service of fleshing out other characters. Heck she even mirrors herself in ways, just look at how Ryuuko’s symbol flows counter to the Tsurugi family crest, she’s a break from tradition and what was intended for her.
I know I’m probably still forgetting things but I just wanted to have a little rant about how I love these themes.
Kagami is a mirror, she is a foil, a word repeated.
come on guys just let her have thissss
BABYGAMI
you know this scene makes me wonder, just how much time passed between Kagami's birth and when Tomoe lost her eyesight. does she imagining her like this?
I'm so happy for the ladynoir crumbs we got in both episodes weehee
