⟨He's speaking English.⟩
Hawk Moth says A Lot with the mask on in that episode.
(I'm this close to deciding he's also found out about Chat Noir for funsies.)
Talking to @afayebray and it occurred to us that Chloe probably never learnt what Armand’s name was because she always called him mummy.
Also that Gorille would take Adrien to the hotel for play dates and Chloe would dress them up for tea parties. Except Adrien, Gabriel would never allow such a thing. They would also bring Mr Cuddly and Froggy.
i was just gonna crop this and say i hate Nathalie's shoes but every part of this frame warrants comment actually.
Why did they gild the whole fucking house. Is that? THEY ADDED AN ELEVATOR?? but its. under the stairs. so it cant go up?? So the top floors of the house remain frustratingly inaccessible. WHY.
The Gorilla is here and he hasn't changed at all <3. (He deserved a redesign but change is bad (: so I dunno how to feel about it.)
Gabriel's mom, apparently, doesn't get akumatized? She is just. So fucking chill, you know.
I do hate em though.
This is a little delayed but my booster knocked me sideways over New Year, oops! Better late than never! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
At any rate, Happy New Year from the most dysfunctional family in Paris! Gabriel wanted - or Amelie demanded - a nice professional photoshoot to commemorate their first year back in contact, but this was the best picture they got. The rest of the album is even worse!!
Even though I really do find Felix being Richard's som great angst, character development, and drama fuel, I am curious what do you think Felix would have been like with just normal parents who were rich?
I want to preface: A lot of Felix/Adrien's leg issues are incredibly ablest. They try really hard to frame it as "He's just him! Just has a damaged leg! He plays it off cool!" But a LOT of his problems, goals, and issues stem pretty heavily around his leg as a problem. His personality gets grim, he consistently is frustrated he cannot do sports, and his whole goal of being a doctor and mistreatment of himself and the things he loves to do is centered almost entirely around his leg being damaged. In fact, a lot of why he enjoys being Chat so much is because BEING Chat gives him relief from his disability. This.. isn't really interpretation, this is HOW he was written in the bibles- and it's really bad.
Its important to show that characters with disabilities are just normal people who have to approach the world differently. Precanon does not show that, and I wouldn't trust TA to be able to explore that genuinely.
That being said, the bible does give us insight into what the character was like. So, as (Adrien) Nanty, Felix' parents are absent but doting, and his parents consider him "fragile" after his accident, which is suffocating. He, however, has his bodyguard as his confidant and as a solid, adult presence in his life.
His story also centered very very heavily around being "good enough" for Ladybug to not take his kwami away. It wasn't just love. His desire to be, and stay, Chat is a freedom to move without pain. He was also super obsessed with sports and "good at everything".
I don't like this very much, especially since I very much prefer the Richard-Felix conflict (emotions as a problem to overcome vs emotions as normal and healthy to experience. aka a "toxic masculinity" narrative which meshes well with a ML narrative about emotions and all) as opposed to him being a bad disability rep w/ his whole personality & the way others treat him soley pivoting around his angst about him being disabled and all.
So that's my opinion on it. I think it could work, but a lot needs to be reconsidered and pivoted away from.
