It’s December 11th, and Nothing is here.
People seem to be misinterpreting Thomas Astruc’s tweets about Adrien being “perfect”…
Adrien at face value is a facade. The way he presents himself in front of family and friends is “perfection” because he has no other choice. His father has set impossible standards that he must keep at all times. Always polite, always obeying, always doing everything the right way. He has an image to uphold. Adrien is perfect, but not by choice. As a civilian he is trapped in his perfection.
Chat Noir on the other hand, is a chance for Adrien to make mistakes. In the show Chat is still depicted as a separate character because his identity is still a secret. As of right now Adrien isn’t accountable for Chat’s actions because they’re not known by anyone else to be one character (yet). Chat Noir provides the perfect child a chance to make mistakes and experience the consequences of their own choosing. Chat is the freedom to be imperfect that Adrien isn’t allowed.
Adrien is “perfect” because he has no choice.
And just like Adrien, Ladybug is “perfect” because she has no choice. If Ladybug fails, Hawkmoth wins. If Adrien fails, Gabriel wins.
We’ve seen Ladybug fail in the Origins episodes. She can’t afford to make the same mistake twice, and if Adrien would like to keep the smallest amount of freedom he’s been allowed (school, friends etc.), neither can he.
Adrien and Ladybug must be in control to succeed.
Chat Noir and Marinette have the freedom to make mistakes and learn.
In terms of character development, we are still waiting to see how their identities will merge to become one.
Just like Yin and Yang.
Chat Noir and Marinette = Yin / Imperfection
Adrien and Ladybug = Yang / Perfection
I could go into further detail about their character and power dynamics and such, but I’d probably end up writing an essay. Anyway, use some critical thinking skills and remember to analyze these kinds of patterns in stories. I just felt like maybe I could help further explain what Thomas was trying to convey.
Thank you.
Omg, so many ppl don’t get what Thomas is trying to say…
Adrien is the mask, not Chat.
IT’S THE FANDOM! THEY’RE COMING TO ATTACK!
Theory on why I think Adrien knows that Marinette is Ladybug (based on evidence from “Troublemaker”-SPOILERS!)
- He sees how adamant LB is about him not looking at the pictures of Adrien when they are fighting Penny (told him twice to stop)
-Building off of that, when he lifted up her mattress to shield himself from the projectiles, he was definitely aware of the photos under Marinette’s bed (more on this later)
-LB’s mask was at most half gone when one of her earrings were pulled out (it’s unclear whether he saw this or not, but it should have been pretty hard to miss)
-After the fight, he makes a comment saying that he knows who she is (but cutely says “the girl of my dreams”)
-At school the next day, Adrien approaches Marinette asking if she was ok which then leads her to trying to explain why she had all of those photos of him, and he goes and TEASES HER ABOUT IT AND EVEN ASKS HER IF SHE’S LYING, almost as if they were Chat and LB in that moment
-Adrien then says “I’m used to having a lot of fans and photos of me…even in the most unlikely places” to which Marinette responds “yeah, as if someone would have a picture of you under their bed, right?” There were no camera crews in Marinettes room when the mattress was flipped to reveal the photos under her bed, the only other person who would have saw that besides LB and Penny was Chat! My theory is that his comment was to prompt her to respond the way she did, it was a test!
- Lastly, he invites her to see his next photo shoot since she is “really into fashion”. As he leaves, he turns to her and says “I’m really happy to have you as one of my fans.” You know what this reminds me of? Chat Noir always playing second fiddle to LB, she gets most of the spotlight while he just follows her lead. To me it seems that LB has many more fans then Chat does, even though they are a team. And who is the main person who is always sticking up for Chat, reminding everyone that they are equals, and considers him a great friend? LADYBUG!
So in short, I think Adrien does know that Marinette is Ladybug. I believe the reason he doesn’t say anything are because of two factors. 1.) He knows very well that LB prefers to keep their identities a secret, and he respects that. He doesn’t want to break her trust so he pretends to not know out of respect and love for her. 2.) He may also want Marinette/LB to fall in love with Chat Noir on her own without being prompted or forced to, like I believe he has fallen for Marinette on his own. He wants her to love both sides of him as he does her. That’s my two cents, feel free to add your thoughts!
I agree with all of this.

Advice to a Younger Introvert
- You don’t have to be academically inclined or some intensely deep thinker to be an introvert. The world isn’t neatly divided into bookish loners and party animals. Some extroverts love books and ideas, some introverts don’t. Don’t feel you have to be Van Gogh to ‘make up’ for being an introvert.
- Introversion comes with both strengths and weaknesses. In some fields it gives you advantages, in other fields disadvantages. It is not an excuse to avoid developing social skills.
-Think of socialising like exercise. Too much will exhaust you, not enough is bad for your health. Schedule socialising into your timetable.
- Also, like exercise, you dread doing it before you start but once you’ve gotten into it you start to have more fun.
- You run the risk of isolating yourself when you’re sad/on school holidays. The problem with isolating yourself is you don’t always realise you’re doing it, or realise the damage it does to your mental health so if you get sad/tired/irritable and you don’t know why, it could actually be a lack of people. It’s a balancing act, but as you mature, it gets easier to balance.
- Socialising doesn’t mean you have to go clubbing or make small talk. Quality time with friends and family, one-on-one, counts. Invest time in a few relationships, pay attention to them, nourish them until they blossom.
- When it comes to socialising, either explain to your friend it’s a one-on-one thing or specifically plan something that only two people can do/something that can’t be expanded to more people without prior notice, like cooking dinner or playing video games. It sucks when people bring along someone you don’t know without telling you first and leave you feeling left out. Third wheeling is not your friend.
-If you’re at a party and you’re overstimulated by loud music/bright lights/crowds/chatter, don’ t lock yourself in the bathroom for long, but maybe save some time recharging by switching the lights off in the bathroom and taking deep breaths, like an improvised floatation tank.
-but don’t forget to lock the door, otherwise people might walk in and wonder what the hell you’re doing standing in the dark.
-When it comes to class participation, quality counts as much as quantity. Don’t fret if you’re not speaking a lot, so long as what you’re saying is concise and useful to class discussion. Teachers do actually notice these things.
-If your voice isn’t loud, that doesn’t mean people won’t listen. If what you have to say is valuable, you’ll get more attention than you think.
- Public speaking is a necessary evil, but it gets better with practice. Introversion needn’t stop you winning that oratory prize.
- Introversion is about being differently social, not anti-social. Remain polite and courteous. Holding the door open for people is a nifty habit to get into because it allows you to show respect and concern to others without you needing to talk.
-If you want a book about introversion, by an introvert, Quiet by Susan Cain is a psychological treatise, a history, a biological explanation, a sociological examination and a defence all rolled into one.
You ever have those nights that make you feel incredibly lonely despite knowing you have people who care about you? And for some reason you just want to lay in bed and not associate with anyone or do anything even though you know it’ll make yourself feel less that way.
Um... I got a question
If anyone can get cheek marks because of overtime exposure to magic, and even males can get them (ex: Marco) why hasn’t River gotten any? ._.
@gravityfying Seriously, you were my biggest inspiration, i was so sad i almost cried
This kind of behavior is not okay. It is not humane, it is not justifiable, and it is just downright disheartening.
I’m hoping that people who react this immaturely and cruel are able to have the growth that they need to see how their actions and words effect the people around them, and cherish them.
Don’t put others down for their creativity. Everyone borrows ideas from others. It’s the way it’s always been—creations spark more creations.
You don’t own an art style. You own your imagination.
Smooch buddies... booth buddies..
Do you think Festivia's character design has anything to do with the Holy Grail?
Absolutely. Let’s take a look at Festivia’s portrait from Star and Marco’s Guide to Mastering Every Dimension:
Likely all of this has been observed already by others, but I’ll go over it nonetheless. Festivia’s design obviously draws on the Greek gods Pan and Dionysus – both of whom are associated with music, revelry, and sexuality. Specifically, Pan is associated with goats and the wilderness, and Dionysus is associated with grapes, wine, and theater. As we can clearly see, Festivia has grapes in her portrait, and she wears a headband with goat horns on it. Her wand is a drinking cup that strongly resembles the Greek kantharos. Even her feet somewhat resemble stylized goat hooves.
Based on what we now know about Festivia, it seems she is a usurper; all records of Eclipsa’s daughter Meteora were erased, and, instead of Meteora, Festivia was installed after Eclipsa was crystallized. We know nothing of Festivia’s lineage.
For those of you who have not read it, here’s a link to the Holy Grail theory. I have been thinking about this for some time. If you’ve read the theory, you know that I suspect that Lekmet’s remaining horn – which we last saw in “Return to Mewni” – is the Holy Grail: a magical cup with restorative powers.
Due to the fact that she wears goat horns, quite a few other people have already speculated that Festivia is somehow connected with Lekmet. This is not an unreasonable guess, in my opinion. The cup that Festivia wields has quite a strong association, by virtue of being magical and holding wine, with the Holy Grail (which is, in legend, conflated with the vessel used to hold not only wine drank at the Last Supper but also to catch the blood of Jesus, thus further reinforcing the religious association of wine with blood in Christian theology). And since I believe that the Holy Grail in Star vs. the Forces of Evil is Lekmet’s horn, I, too, believe there must be some connection between Lekmet and Festivia. As to what those specific connections are, I could not possibly say at this point, but there are all sorts of wild theories floating around out there which you may read for yourself.
However, there is one matter I would like to speculate on: that of Meteora’s extended lifespan. I believe the ending of “Princess Turdina” indicates that Meteora has only just now started extending her lifespan by sucking the youth out of princesses. The episode heavily implies, as far as I can tell, that she’s never had to do this before:
How has Meteora been keeping herself alive up until now? I would suggest that, up until his death, Lekmet has been keeping Meteora alive. The only real basis I have for this suggestion is that, apart from the device we see at the end of “Princess Turdina”, the only other way of life extension are Lekmet’s powers. As I note in my post on the Holy Grail, both Lekmet and the Holy Grail are associated with healing, restoration, and extended longevity. There’s also this curious mural in “St. Olga’s Reform School for Wayward Princesses”, which seems to depict, among other things, a winged goat-demon:
But why would Lekmet do any of these things? From what we’ve seen so far, Lekmet appears to have been the most self-sacrificial member of the Magic High Commission – a genuinely kindhearted person. Perhaps he was nefarious after all. Perhaps he’s the one who covered up Meteora’s existence. And perhaps he kept Meteora alive because he felt sympathy for her. I’m not sure about anything – it’s all just speculation at this point.
But I guarantee you one thing: we’ll see his horn again.
imagine you saw an alien spacecraft and your first reaction was to critique its flat color palette and unimaginative lines
The Truth is Out There and It Has Bad Aesthetics
Because context actually makes the already great headline even greater:
“I know this is horrible,” del Toro continues. “You sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didn’t want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed. I was with a friend. We bought a six-pack. We didn’t consume it, and there was a place called Cerro del Cuatro, “Mountain of the Four,” on the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, ‘Let’s go to the highway.’ We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, ‘Honk and flash the lights.’ And we started honking.”
The UFO, says del Toro, “Went from 1,000 meters away [to much closer] in less than a second — and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clichéd, with lights [blinking]. It’s so sad: I wish I could reveal they’re not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone.”

the same man that made a movie about making giant robots to fight aliens SAW SOME ALIENS, INSULTED THEIR AESTHETIC, and RAN AWAY SCREAMING
this scene is so pure, i think it may be one of my favorite scenes too
