L'été revient....enfin il est en marche
Does Lila akumatize herself to get to La Plage?
I'm doing more sleuthing instead of, I don't know... my homework... so I've come to tumblr to sound stupid instead :)
I can't find a map of the greater Paris catacombs, and for good reason. It's a whole thing. Updated maps can't be shared online, nor can videos. I've never really cared for urban exploration (the most I've done is Griffith Park Zoo in LA) but the general consensus I'm finding online is that pictures are cool, but anything showing possible entrances and identifying information is a no-go as it will be "burned" after law enforcement finds out about it from the word spreading. Despite this, the catacombs are a very popular area for people to explore, hang out, and drink at.
It's also hard to tell if what I'm reading online is real, from an actual "cataphile", or just a creepypasta from someone trying to have a laugh.
My conclusion is that in the Miraculous universe, Lila must have somehow closed off La Plage from the rest of the corridors. It's not a hard to find place for many experienced cataphiles, which makes it a really bad hiding spot. The vibe down under is "chill" and it's uncommon to find people there just to cause trouble for others. At most, I'm seeing a lot of pictures online that suggest a BYOB culture.
Issues arise with the fact that there is a population down there. People who stay for the whole day, and maybe more. Even though the tunnels are very expansive, you're not really alone down there. There's always another person or group.
Lila would have to separate her area of the catacombs from public access in order to maintain her privacy, which is an absurd feat. Not only that, but the process of getting down there is an entire ordeal. I'm seeing people say that the water down there reaches thigh level at some points. Even saw someone say the highest it's been was their belly.
What I'm trying to say is that there is NO way Lila is getting to her chosen areas of the catacombs in those clothes. In fact, I'd imagine her in nothing less than an entire dedicated outfit, waders and all. But we never see her wear these.
But Lex! It's a kids show! No one cares how Lila is getting down to La Plage!
I CARE!!!
I believe that Lila is akumatizing herself every time she wants to get in and out of her lair. Whether she is akumatizing herself with something simple like teleportation so she doesn't have to make the whole trip there and back (which I get... but Lila, it's not as cool!) or if she's akumatizing herself into her Professional Urbex Cataphile Fit so she can make the trip by foot, I think it's something I would really find intriguing to see in the show. Perhaps some Spectral Looter business, where she just phases through the ground?
Who taught her the way around the catacombs? It's very heavily looked down upon to go in by yourself with no guide. You WILL get lost. Some people only go exploring because their parents explored before them, and taught them the way around. Lila seems... less likely to have had a parental figure teach her, which means either someone else did, or she cooked like crazy and taught herself.
Food for thought!
