“Oh Adrienette is so cringey this season, they’re so bland and cheesy!”
Maybe for you. I say they deserve to be cheesy. They deserve these sweet stupid ooey gooey subplots where she’s terrified of him hearing her blow her nose. They deserve Adrien trying to be better at gift giving cause he wants to be the Best Boyfriend Ever(tm). They deserve Marinette being her skittish chaotic self and Adrien standing there calmly like “Yep, that’s my girl. Someday a ring’s gonna be on that finger and I will be Mr Dupain Cheng.”
After five seasons of pining and will they won’t they this is all I ever dreamed of
Can we get some combined Alya and Marinette sugar going on in the tags??
The whole fandom seems to be tearing them both apart like hyenas on a carcass like wtf
Anyway, I'll start: Alya has been Marinette's bestie from the get-go. Yes, she's right to be pissed off at Mari given what she understands of the situation, but I strongly believe that the two will eventually come back stronger than ever. Remember, this is a kid's show, and most kids shows will have a pair of friends ride out a rough patch and then come to an understanding with a repaired friendship- especially when they've been besties from the start. Neither of them are goddamn evil, neither are abusers or whatever. They're 14 year old girls stuck in a messy situation that neither asked for, and they're both highly competent heroes doing the best they can with what they know and with very limited support from either end.
AI will really pop up uninvited like "hi! I'm Gloprity! Would you like me to reply to your friend so you don't have to? Would you like me to polish your email so you have no voice? Would you like me to scan this article and then tell you what you should think? Would you like me to be human for you? Would you like to do nothing, be nothing, say nothing, think nothing, feel nothing?" and it doesn't even have a face I can punch in retaliation?
are shows and movies allowed to be subtle and ambiguous anymore..... is that still allowed or does everything have to be a patronizing hand holding session. just wondering
Just to be clear, I have nothing against Alya. She's an interesting character, a good person, a skilled superhero, and a good friend. But even if I like her character, this doesn't mean I can't have some criticism of her, right? (This fandom loves to say this exact thing, but usually when it comes to Marinette.) Besides, I'm sure it's just a part of her character arc. She'll get there. Everything will be fine.
The thing is that I'm on the side of those who have it worse. Alya might be a million times right. Adrien might be confused and struggling to figure out what he wants. Marinette has it much worse. I don't care that she fucked up. Quite the opposite, I'm on her side because she fucked up. Hope it helps.
What bothers me more than anything Alya or Marinette might have done is fandom's reaction. You're praising Alya for roasting Marinette for her mistakes, and all I can see is a complete disinterest in Alya's character. You don't want to analyze her arc. Is she right or wrong? Why did she do this and that? What does it mean for her personally and for hers and Marinette's friendship? All I can see is just obsessive desire to see Marinette punished, no matter who does that and why. Alya has an excuse: she's a teenage girl traumatized by lying. What excuse do y'all have?
(literally, because I only started rewatching mlb this month and I've been spoiled a ton so I'm combining nostalgia with whatever surface level knowledge I have because I really miss those miraculous ladybug comic dubs)
