#yes I do like ml

[words-be-upon-ye]

There are a couple tropes I really love in the space of Miraculous Ladybug fan works, but quite possibly my favorite is when the miraculous holders just get creature from using their powers.

Like yeah, I would say that hosting the power of an abstract concept given sentience, that got shoved into the shape of an animal and bound to a piece of jewelry, would kinda mess with your body a bit.

The little bit of this we get in canon is basically that Adrien loves being a cat and the whole Tikki munches incident.

But I love it when people give them ears and wings and tails, give them eyes that aren't quite human anymore. Fuck with their gender and their sense of body. Sometimes it's body horror, sometimes it's just aesthetic. Love it either way.

I just think it's so fun, a lot of the time it's combined with the like "when a holder and the kawami really respect and bond with each other there's nothing that can be done except having magic bleed into the holder" I think that's fun, but also just making the animal of the kwami a bigger deal is fun. Like if you're going to make it a ladybug you might as well give her wings and antenna and mirrored eyes.

#yes I do like ml #there's just so many characters I like to mess with in my head #also sue me I'm trans and have a certain respect for body horror. for the forced change of your physical self especially when you chose it #anyway I alwasys ramble in the tags #I set up this side blog to hide random writing thoughts I had and oh boy do I have a lot and none of them are on here #and recenetly (and by recently I mean like the past year) I've been hit with so many ml thoughts) #they're all gay #and some of them are cohesive #actually a lot of them revolve around chloe and au's where she gets a meaningful improvement arc #give that gay girl intresting stuff #miraculous ladybug #ml #although one of my ideas is also my very fun very gender take of ml where to conceal their identities ladybug and chat start pretending #to be different people under the masks like they don't need to like explicitly say. they just #switch costumes a lot and they like slyly hint at maybe theres dozens of people who pass around the miraculous to make sure that their #Identities are always safe #and to support the act they also start changing the genders they present as as holders. everyone is like “it's clearly multiple people” #and during this process marinette and Adrien are both like slowly having personal gender revelations #and gabe is like tearing his hair out over having to fight this secret group of superheros that he can never find or catch #but he's still just getting his ass kicked by two kids who're doing the world's most successful costumes change bits #it's like those “fake dating” tropes where they're like “oh but we really do love each other” but with gender #“oh I've got a great idea lets pretend to be different genders sometimes” #cut to “hmh ok so I think I'm not pretending anymore” #oh I do always ramble in the tags

i think marinette is worse at resting when she's sick but adrien is worse at sitting things out if he's injured. i have no explanation, these are just the vibes

#ml #marinette dupain cheng #adrien agreste #okay i lied i do have justifications #adrien probably just. would love being taken care of if he's sick #it's maybe something his mom used to do but not ENOUGH #and marinette would absolutely spoil him #but marinette is all I AM FINE IT IS JUST A COLD I AM FINE meanwhile she nearly falls off a rooftop in a dizzy spell #but adrien hate being kept away from ppl he loves. hates not being able to protect them. and an injury is more long-term and isolating #meanwhile...idk marinette feels to me like an injurt would leave her more defeated. she'd feel like she failed somehow #like she is SUPPOSED to be ladybug she is SUPPOSED to keep herself together to keep the city safe #so i think that would take a lot of her energy she'd be frustrated about it yes but also sort of...admit defeat #adrien would find ways to cheer her up though 🥺

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

#ml fandom salt #I suppose #and no amount of adding ''stop telling me to not analyze the media'' on my analysis posts stops people from saying it anyway #and yes. the leaks count. stop telling me that the existence of outdated leaks invalidates all analyses of the completed material #and no. just like every other time i've said this. me saying that i don't care about the leaks is not an invitation for you to try to #convince me to care about the leaks #do i tag this spoilers? it feels weird to. i mean this to be a vague overarching thing about media in general #also of course any ''or maybe the writers are just bad'' arguments ALSO are included in this. YOU guys have been my bane since FOREVER #would you guys consider commenting on fanart with ''umm.... drawing seems pretty pointless lmao'' rude? #i know this is not the first time i've made a post like this and i'm sure it won't be the last

The thing with the "Adrien deserves to know the truth" is that while yes it's true, to me it's also a lot of "Marinette deserves to be happy too"

Because sure right now Adrien is happy and that's great for him, I've seen people argue that he might never know and that it's probably better because he deserves to be happy and not traumatised. But him never knowing means Marinette has to hide it everyday and live with the knowledge that she's hiding something big to the person she trusts the most, unable to share everything with him. And that's not fair at all

In the long run, Adrien knowing would hurt his happiness less than him not knowing would hurt Marinette's. And if the show chooses to let Adrien blissfully unaware of Gabriel's crimes (which I doubt but you never know), I'm not okay with Marinette hurting, nor with their relationship never feeling quite as strong as we know it should be all because of Gabriel

#for the record i do believe this plot will be addressed #but i see ppl angry that adrien doesn't know and deserves to #and i'm like yes he does but not only for him but for marinette too she doesn't deserve that it is so unfair!! #& then i see ppl saying it's probably better he never finds out cause he deserves happiness and again!!!!! what about marinette's!!! #she deserves to not feel pressured by that knowledge and to live her relationship fully #ml spoilers #recreation #recreation spoilers #ml s5 finale #s5 finale spoilers

On the subject of the finale, I've seen many fanarts and fanfic comics and stuff with Eminath flirting, and while I ship them BIG TIME, I'm surprised by how many people portray Nathalie as the flirty one. Nathalie would absolutely do a Marinette if anyone ever tried to flirt with her. Half the time she probably wouldn't pick up on the fact that Emilie was flirting with her, and the other half of the time she'd just go bright red and stop speaking for at least five minutes. I mean come on this is Nathalie we're talking about - she's literally got "heartless" in her name and is canonically very very shy (and covers it up with the "heartless" exterior). Emilie is the flirt here.

#Very specific topic but I do find the idea of Emilie constantly flirting with an oblivious Nathalie extremely entertaining #“yes we both died due to the peacock Miraculous being broken” #“just one of the many things we have in common my love ;-)” #“no because it was under very different circumstances. Why are you looking at me like that” #People are like “are you together?” and Emilie makes a flirty comment whereas Nathalie just sort of. Shuts down. #“physically yes we are both present. However I think perhaps my soul just vacated the premises” #The possibilities are endless and hilarious and they'd better do this in s6 #miraculous season 5 #nathalie sancoeur #emilie agreste #eminath #miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers

From the literary masterpiece “be your july” by our Ladrien lord and savior, Reiaji 

I wanted to have it done by July 14th and then when that didn’t work, at least by the end of July (how could a piece inspired by “be your july” not be posted in July?) but! here we are instead

#miraculous ladybug #ladrien #marinette dupain-cheng #adrien agreste #ml fanart #lovesquare #my art #drawn for an absolutely incredible friend who deserves the world #i hope i have done ladrien justice #there's more that I wanted to do with this #but i think this is for the best #also i know they look like babies they are not actually babies in the fic i am just cursed by baby drawing #also yes they are supposed to be surrounded by buildings with chimneys on three sides #'smokestacks like toadstools' i swear i tried but i just could not draw them in a way that looked good #the imagery is just so beautiful and perfect and i am but a wee little artist #read it for yourself (again even if you already have) to appreciate its beauty!! #tiny quiches should probably be out #and the candles he brought were not real fire candles but i just thought it looked like this #please roast me in the comments #did not have a good day and i feel like the only thing keeping me even close to sane #was adding finishing touches to this piece #so when you look at this know you are looking at a piece of my soul #you are seeing love and also sadness #calm and anxiety #isnt that kind of the crazy part about artwork? how it's not just snapshot of a Particular Thing #but also whatever the artist was thinking and feeling as they created it? #how you cant separate just what they wanted you to see from the pieces of themselves that are tied to every pixel? #idk man maybe i just need a hug and a cup of tea

I still have very complicated feelings about Zoe Lee.

Because she's great! I love her! Why is she there though

#i really do love her #but i feel like i can't even write fanfic about her because it... feels like cheating? #like writing mary sue self-inserts despite her being canon. and like it's not fair to the other characters who are actually plot relevant #(which is silly yes hush) #I'm glad transmission gave us a peek at her whole cinderella situation because you can't just set that up and not show us #and I love kitty noir and her outfit is even... well it could be good. maybe. with some tweaks. #i still spent the beginning of the episode going 'oh you remembered she exists' and then the first half being confused why she was suddenly #so very much the focus. which made sense after she got the miraculous except NOT #Plagg collecting locked-up sad kids is bitterly hilarious though #still. cat!kagami? or in a better timeline even cat!chloe? le sigh #anyway #miraculous ladybug #ml transmission #ml spoilers #chaos rambles

my favourite part of season 5 is still the reveal that Gabriel and Tomoe thought Adrien and Kagami made the perfect pair and wanted them to be together because it completely flips their relationship

Kagami and Adrien sneaking around and finding the slightest gaps in their schedule and giving their bodyguards/parents the slip to spend time together and feeling so clever that they’ve gotten away with it their parents don’t suspect a thing

only to smashcut to Gabriel and Tomoe doing an evil pound it because their ship is canon

#miraculous ladybug #ml s5 #gabriel agreste #tomoe tsurugi #adrien agreste #kagami tsurugi #it’s the illusion of free choice™ #it was a very clever plan tbf like if they told them to date it would be awkward and forced. but put them in the same room together and see #what happens… let them think it was all their idea… boom success! #then the next step is saying ‘yes i only just found out you’ve been dating kagami and i have decided to give you my permission to date her- #what do you mean you broke up a month ago and your dating the baker girl who made a hat for me one time?’ #on the flipside though it probably wouldn’t have worked out in the long run bc kagami likes the thrill of a secret forbidden romance like #that’s partially what drove her to felix imo so if tomoe said one day ‘it’s come to my attention you’re dating the agreste boy. i approve o #of this match and have organised a date for you two on friday.’ you Know kagami would immediately go #‘oh no.. okay um so now i’m kind of feeling that everything about him that was attractive to me before isn’t really there anymore…’ #also on the flipside like looking at it on a more deeper/serious level like it just goes to show how much control tomoe and gabriel have o #er their kids to the point that they would be willing to manipulate them into a relationship and then when #the two of them tried and realised it wasn’t working. instead of admitting they don’t know their children as well as they think they do #or acknowledging that their children are actual people who have their own feelings that don’t always match their parents #or coming to terms that their children aren’t extensions of their legacy and will that they can puppet however they want #instead they say ‘okay we tried the hands off way now we’ll just have to force them’

i've written 36k for this fic but my brain has reached the point where it keeps telling me im a sucky writer and should just quit and ahhh i need the anxiety to shut up and just let me have fun and not have imposter syndrome

#im actually really self conscious about my writing like even if i do think im good if i say anything more the anxiety is like nope :) #and it all comes from mean kids in high school not liking m short story about an alien getting adopted #which like yeah sounds dumb but i LIKED IT #anyways write for yourself yes but what do i do when im my own worse critic and it keeps telling me to quit #i dont think im going to but im afraid that what happened to me in the ml fandom is gonna happen again and ill get burnt out by #my own stupid high standards and expectations for myself #anyways #i need to eat #maybe im just hangry #maybe i do need a break and i think i will take one once i finish chapter 3 and since im going camping this weekend #but i want to post chapter 2 before i go so we shall see #bushy rants
