This is what it feels like reading any thomas astruc tweet about chloe

Oh great, now I'm going to have to live knowing that Marinette likely got her pixie cut to remember and honor her energetic and outgoing grandma after she died!

So I'm saying this flat out: Marinette is abusive.

I don't use the term lightly. She is continuously gaslighting Adrien regarding Gabriel, even strongarming the people who knew Gabriel to be her accomplices. She had Alya lie in her place because she didn't want to do the dirty work.

She doesn't trust Adrien. Sublimation happened because she was afraid Adrien would replace her with Sublime, despite supposedly knowing him on a deep level. She shattered his rings in Werepapas, risking killing him in the process, because the previous lucky charms didn't give her the answers she wanted to hear, despite that not being how lucky charms worked. She admitted both in Mister Agreste and Heartfixer that she's more concerned with her guilt, her difficult emotions over Adrien's grief, to where in the former, she was going to uproot his life again to make herself feel better (Nathalie rightfully shut that down), and in the latter, she hides the letter from him. Oh, and she tried to talk him out of therapy.

She's his abuser now. Abuse isn't just physical wounds and scars. Ultimately, it's about control, even if you think it's for their own good. She is controlling him. I can't believe Astruc made his flagship romance an abusive romance, and I'm doubly baffled he wants the viewer to agree with her.

What was he thinking?

I just had to make another one

Sooo, if I’m understanding this correctly: Felix can apologize off-screen and have his crimes hand-waved away, which means by the same logic Chloe, whose crimes are significantly less severe than the ones Felix willingly and happily committed, should be able to do the same too.

Jokes aside, Astruc really is showing his priorities here. After all Felix gets to apologize off-screen and then everyone immediately moves on from his sins, which, again, include actual genocide that joyfully committed and helping a magical super-terrorist on his own free will & without being manipulated and groomed. Meanwhile, poor Sabrina is forced to spends months as a social outcast, with everyone but two people refusing to give her a chance, despite the fact that she was literally the sole reason Marinette was able to expose Lila back in Season 5, thus prevent their education from being fucked over.

Then again, am I even surprised? This is the same guy who “redeemed” one of the show's worst fathers by having him blame his fourteen-year-old daughter and her abusive mother for his corrupt political career and everything else that made his life miserable, then forcibly send her off with that same abusive mother while he kidnapped I mean took in his former step-child who he had zero involvement in raising her and zero legal rights to. Let's not also forget the deleted scene that was sooo "important" to the story according to Astruc where Andre claim that he's taking in Zoe because he LIKES HER BETTER and that she specifically doesn't deserves to be abused, effectively implying that he thinks chloe dose.

ok so this most likely won’t be my last post regarding Chloé

but out of my own curiosity, where did the “the writers/Thomas Astruc ruined her redemption” thing come from?

like the writing of the characters was done intentionally; the writers didn’t just decide one day to switch up on the characters

Chloé’s arc had her start out as a bully, become slightly better as a hero, only to fall back on old habits. like don’t get me wrong, you don’t have to like the choice, but treating it as a “oh the writers changed her redemption” isn’t really correct

the writers had an arc planned for Chloé - that being the one we see in the show.

imo, it seems like the fans/stans thought that her becoming a hero was a sign of the possibility of a redemption existing, but when the show didn’t end up going that way, they blamed it on the writers for not writing how the stans wanted them to

with her becoming a caricature of a bully/antagonist, i personally think that it’s a way for the writers to say “y’all she’s really not getting a redemption; stop asking/complaining”

like taking the bullying and villainy to an extreme is the writers trying to reinforce that she was always going to end up as an antagonist, contrary to what her fans wanted

and again, y’all are under zero obligation to like the choices, but blaming the writers for choosing something y’all don’t like isn’t some massive betrayal

and don’t get me wrong, the quality of her writing dropped significantly, but i think that’s a result of the constant asking and complaining related to the non-existent redemption

There's nothing I love more than drawing memes and fashion and gays and 💓

Okay I'll admit it, I ship Chloenette. I like how they're both kind of bad people!!!

Chloe bourgeoisie deserved to continue her journey of bettering herself and I will die on that hill. Thomas Arstruc (🤮) is a bitter old man who can't fathom the fact that sometimes a 14 year old is mean because they have some wack shit going on at home; this aggressive attitude does not mean that said 14 year old is evil. Dumbass.

She’s not real Thomas. This is about storytelling and your effectiveness in doing so.

Someone should reply with 'All these efforts to villify her. How much money have you spent hating a teenage girl character?
