#those two are my dudes

[wield-the-mighty-pen]

What I love so much about the loveybug au, is that it showcases the dichotomy to Marinette's character that we often seen ignored or overlooked by the more obvious example of Adrien's.

The truth is that Adrien and Chat Noir simultaneously exist as attributes within the complexity that is Adrien's character and psyche. While they are different, they are not opposites, they are compliments of each other, and the show does a great job of highlighting that.

Marinette on the other hand, is never really questioned for her alter-ego, she is Ladybug, plain and simple. Except, it's not so simple, Marinette's personality is actually close to being, if not as much, as complex as Adrien's.

Adrien often uses Chat Noir as an escape from the personality repression he faces as himself. Marinette on the other hand, is more repressed as Ladybug. She is focused on goals and on the safety of others and she cannot act on her emotions. She does not find it to be the time and place to let free, to truly be herself. But at least she lets herself be free as Marinette, right?

Well, it's actually not that simple.

Marinette has quite a bit that is keeping her from feeling free as herself. The claims that Marinette was the more free, the more open personality of the two never really made much sense, as Marinette is still pretty tightly wound, she is constantly reacting to and experiencing a level of anxiety that keeps her grounded and pulled together.

What I find so admirable about the Loveybug au, is that Loveybug is a direct response to what Adrien does as Chat Noir. Even Catwalker is not a complete reflection of Ladybug, for it isn't a true repression in the way Ladybug is, it's more of an imitation of his Adrien mask.

What Loveybug does is introduce a new method to analyze Marinette, in acting as a foil to the "Chat Noir persona", this alter-ego actually and explicitly exemplifies what Marinette would be if she really let loose.

The Loveybug au accomplishes the task of showing how deeply misunderstood Marinette is by so many people. In showing her at her most open, we can see what she is actually holding back as herself. She is not simply an optimist, she is not naturally brave. She, like Adrien with his persona, have to fight and struggle to keep their heads high and a smile on my face. The fact that this au can display this is part of the reason I love it so much.

pm and ada on truce missions in different cities and they keep coming across restaurants that have signs hanged outside saying "banned for life" with teen skk's faces on them

#after the 3rd restaurant they just decide to ditch skk and eat there #those two can survive on street foods and vending machines #then they go to the hotel they reserved and skk are banned there too #chuuya: dude this is where we committed arson for the first time remember? #dazai fondly: how could I forget #mori: I almost went bankrupt! #dazai: best day of my life #they drop them off at a cheap motel before they can recreate that scene #skk #soukoku

Some of y’all portray John Dory as so old and yeah he is older and you can do whatever you want forever as an artist or writer but he is 30 years old and yall draw him like his pushing 50

Mans got one foot in the grave and the others going in the second he his 36

Bonus:

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls #trolls john dory #trolls band together #also i would like to say im not upset or anything by this #age is like weird when it comes to how its displayed on peoples faces #like bramch is 24 and has crows feet #its also neat how everyone seems to have aged fine and by that i mean looking their age #except for branch and for some john dory #and those two are the ones who spent a lot of time isolated and (most likely for john) depressed #and like yeah loneliness and sadness does age you #physically mentally emotionally #so it is like natural that john would look and feel older than he is BUT #not by decades dude #cuz like yeah branch has crows feet but he also still looks somewhat his age #you can tell the wrinkles in his face are from frowning not from age #tho like i do love peoples personal designs and takes #theyre all very unique #i just thought this was funny #and also it kind of needs to be said #cuz people act like once you turn 30 its all over but dude thats when your life is really beginning in that #you usually finally know who you are you know #like one of my friends hes 29 and like hes living the dream dude just doing what he loves and its so nice #and im not saying he has it all figured out but he has enough that hes setting a pretty damn good example #and hes only just begun you know he still has so far to go in life #we joke that hes old but again its all jokes #i just dont like that people think your life ends at 30 cuz you still have about 50 years left #but yeah anyway moral of the story 30 isnt old and you still got a lot more life to lead before you crumble to dust have fun live well

[tired-biscuit]

thinking about hockey player!kiba who’s forced to sit on the bench throughout the majority of the match, sulking and gritting his teeth in unbridled anger because a player from the opposite team had taunted him and pissed him off a little too much, and his teammates had to drag him off the ice before things could get bad as a result.

so he’s sitting there while his blood is practically pumping testosterone through his veins, breathing hard and heavy and feeling every single muscle pulling tighter and tighter with each passing minute that he doesn’t spend playing. he looks like he’s not handling himself well, taking all the rage that’s bubbling under his skin and showing on his face into account, but kiba is focused despite all of that. he keeps his eyes glued to the prick who had the balls to test him ever since he’s been pulled from the match.

the guy — number 13 — finds the entire thing like a little game of sorts. he keeps on pissing him off with short glances full of arrogance and keeps on throwing provoking motions at him whenever he has the chance, clearly trying to start beef with him for whatever reason.

the best part is that he thinks that kiba won’t do shit since he’s, well, been benched… but that all changes when there’s only roughly two minutes left until the end of the match and he somehow ends up getting thrown back into the ring.

because with all the anger issues that he has going on, our boy isn’t aiming for the puck. no, he’s heading straight for — now unlucky — number 13 and he’s grinning under the helmet while he does it; showing off his mouth guard and hoping that it’ll be the last thing this fucker gets to see.

#can you imagine how scary that would be #like he doesn’t even care about winning anymore #AND THAT’S THE SCARIEST PART COS WINNING IS EVERYTHING TO HIM #and his teammates are just keeping out of his way because they know what he’s like when he’s angry and they know that he won’t cooperate #so he spends those two minutes just trying to beat the crap outta the dude #slams full force into him and goes in for the kill because he’s been BOILING with rage the entire match #and he’s ready to risk it all #MY BRAIN IS BRAINING DISJSJHD

My favorite relationship dynamic is when they’re making eachother worse. I don’t care about healing together, or one character helping the other recover from trauma, or any other trope. I want these two characters to be equally toxic and make horrible decisions and cause the other to experience anguish, but in a romantic way. That’s true love.

i love this tiny little moment where winner kinda looks at yellowface and they’re like huh maybe he isn’t so bad!! i really loved him this episode, to me it was such a good way of highlighting the type of character he is. he’s loud and chaotic and can be so selfish and cruel, but when it comes down to it and the people he cares about need him and are in actual danger, he risks getting himself trouble to keep them safe. (letting them hide in cloudys stash and eventually ruining it, yellowface being the one to blame for that) i would like if it he went back to being the way he was in tpot 8 though like, i dont want it to be a ‘character’s arc get solved just because they acted different for a moment some other time’ situation. i just want this to be a gentle reminder that yellowface isn’t a complete monster and he has a very soft caring side to him that just needs its own chance to shine

#and it’s definitely a reminder that’s Needed because jeez dude the amount of hate he was getting for his behaviour last episode… Not good #yea here’s my obligatory gushing over yf post lol. loveehimmsomuchhhhh. i truly hope him and winner realise they don’t have to fight #and they really uncover a friendship with those two at some point #like the part later in the episode where they look at eachother deciding to push icy to the zombies.. just little silent gestures like that #are my shit #battle for dream island #bfdi #bfb #tpot #bfdi yellow face #bfb yellow face #tpot yellow face
