You can share Headcanons for one of them or both of them.

It’s a sentiment that I’ve always come across and honestly it’s such an echo chamber of an opinion that it’s honestly just sad. Before anyone takes this the wrong way because sometimes people either tend to misinterpret things or they’re about as dense as a brick wall. So to be clear, these characters above me are not perfect and I’m not saying that they’re exempt from criticism. My thing is that people are doing it wrong.

Like I am not exaggerating when I say that people actually made these Kinds of claims about these characters. Firstly, Velma exists so they’re far from the worst in terms of protagonist. Heck when you really get down to it, they’re not really bad characters. Flawed characters yes but I’ve seen characters in shows and movies who are more morally worst than these guys and other characters. Also if we can’t give these characters grace whenever their imperfections come through but everyone else whether it’s through personal bias, pretty privileges, etc gets a pass for the many or few atrocities they caused then we are doomed as a species.

Again I’m not even kidding when I say all this:

Charlie has gotten a bad rap throughout the second season (which some of it is fair), and she has been lacking sympathy from the audience while other flawed characters either get a slap on the wrist or characters you’re supposed to hate gets more love.

Mable can be a bit much at times but I swear people treated her like she’s was the literal worst character when that’s literally not the case. Even people siding with Bill Cipher at one point all because he was pointing out how much Dipper has done for her. Like why are we taking a manipulative villain’s words as actual facts? 😭

Marinette? Shoot. You don’t wanna know what her deal is. But I have more than enough posts that goes into more detail.

Korra, honestly I can just say the Korra vs Aang debate and the rest will write itself.

These 4 (as well as other characters) are an example of how much media literacy has taken a toll. Like if they’re not misunderstanding characters, they’re making false claims about them. If they’re not doing that, they’re propping up other characters to make them look worse than they actually are. If they’re not doing that, they’re blowing things out of proportion and making them look worse than they actually are.

I’m not saying you have to like these characters. Like whoever you want. But let’s not downplay/ignore the good things and the development these characters do get. Like some of it is valid criticism but some of it is either overblown, easily debunked by actual watching the show, or it’s not a writing/character problem but more of a personal/you problem.

So whenever someone feels the need to criticize something, take a second and ask yourself: “Is this issue I’m having a genuine writing problem or is it just a me thing?” If it’s the former, okay that’s valid but if it’s the latter, then there’s nothing wrong with the media you’re consuming it’s just a you thing and that’s okay because everyone has their preferences. But don’t punish or shame others for liking a character especially when they’re not as bad as you make them out to be.

Listen, I know that I tend to rip the fandom a new one every instance I get. Rightfully so because the way SOME of y’all approach the show and some of the characters is yikes 😬 and someone has to be the one to call them out when they’re spewing out bs lol. With all that said, I feel like we’re losing some sanity or someone out there is just bored.

Okay let’s cut to the chase: Where the heck did this Senti Mari theory come from?? Like no lie it feels like this theory has spawned out of nowhere and we’re almost done with the season. Now, let me be fair and say that I haven’t caught up with every episode (I’m working on it 😭) so maybe something happens that proves the theory to be somewhat plausible. At the same time though I feel like this is the case where the many hiatuses this season has been so rough and affecting some viewers so bad that now it feels like we lost the plot and coming up with stuff that would only make sense through fanfics 😅.

Should we get Adrien’s Therapist on the line? Do we need to talk? I know I can be harsh on you guys sometimes (again justifiably so, especially those who deserve it) but I’m just worried about your mental state. Like I need a deep dive understanding of how and why this theory came to be. I even seen one comment from a TikTok saying something along the lines of “that’s why Marinette felt so off earlier this season.” Or something. Guys, have you not been a teenager before?? Maybe it has nothing to do with a feather at all. Maybe it’s just wacky teenage hormones. Can we please stop acting like we were above behavior like this and if you’re around her age saying this while doing some teen behavior then you’re a hypocrite. You can be jealous of another person, you can still feel nervous with the person you’re already dating, you can overplan stuff to make sure everything is perfect. Yes Marinette takes it to the extreme but it’s still not too far off from what I’ve seen in real life (or other media if we really wanna go there).

Okay I’m getting slightly off topic, we’re here for the new theory on the block. Now saying all this would make you believe that I dislike the theory. Truthfully no. I’m honestly more curious about how and why if anything. It’s not as irritatingly dumb like some of the recent Lila theories (pick one 90% of them suck) and it’s not irritatingly annoying like the civil war theory which that on its own deserves its own post. And honestly whether it makes sense or not, I rather take a random Marinette theory over “Why Marinette sucks as a character and is a terrible MC, and why she doesn’t deserve Adrien post #4,964.”

Anyway, what do y’all think?

Also I if you haven’t already, check out the previous Marc post I made yesterday that goes over his debut episode: https://www.reddit.com/r/miraculousladybug/s/Cv1POFxcG4

So I was scrolling through the YouTube app and I came across this question and I don’t know where to begin. The question is asking if Ladybug’s a hypocrite? My first thought was “what do you mean by that?” Like are we talking about a specific moment or like in a general sense? Either way you can see the results and I almost didn’t want to look at the comments but I did….

(Sigh) do I even need to say it? Like majority of them are making points with her identity, the lies, some other third thing, etc. like they were either watching this series with their senses blocked or the claims they make are oversimplifications of situations that occur and lack a nuanced perspective. I mean I’m not saying it’s all doom and gloom, some of the comments are actually using their brains and have some media literacy attached. But man, stuff like this makes me feel like these are either new Gen fans talking (I’m only willing to give them a pass depending on what other contents they consume) or these are viewers who were there from the beginning and are stuck in their bitter feelings about the show and personal bias against the character.

Seriously if you have to include Lila just to make this specific point across then I need to start questioning your morals 😭. Anyway, I just wanted to get this off my chest because I do get the question being asked but knowing how parts of the community behaves, I shouldn’t expect anything less.

I have another Marc related post coming later today so stay tuned…

We’re gonna get into some of the Marc stuff tomorrow but first I wanna highlight how underrated these two are as a friendship. It’s funny because this started with Nathaniel actually crushing on Marinette before he eventually got with Marc later in the series. Now do those Marinette x Nathaniel shippers still exist? I’m not sure but hey, I do know that we have a lot of fans the scenes we do get with these two and honestly it makes sense. They’re considered the creative types of the group right down to their miraculous basically having the same power except hers is random while his can be whatever he wants lol.

But yeah, as far as friendships go, these two are underrated. Nathaniel played a part in helping Marinette get closer with Adrien thanks to his beautiful illustrations. They even share one of my favorite scenes in The Ruler (we’ll talk about that more during the week). Heck Marinette was literally standing up to his Mom for how she was treating him.

They don’t have a lot of screen time together but the little bit we do see is great.

Your options are:

1. Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)
2. Robin (Teen Titans 03)
3. Suki (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
4. Vi (Arcane)
5. Rook (Ben 10 Omniverse)
6. Scrooge (Ducktales 2017)

We’re done with Mylene but that doesn’t mean we’re done with Miraculous May. Right now we’re entering week 3 and to celebrate, we’re giving some love to some underrated artists of the group: Nathaniel x Marc.

Now how I’m gonna structure this will be the first couple of days will be Nathaniel centric. The next couple will be Marc centric. The last 3 days will be both of them as a duo. So get those appreciation posts/fanart ready people! Marcaniel fans, this one’s for y’all 😇.

I love these two. Do they have the most depth relationship? No. Does it get a lot of screen time? No. But truthfully that’s not a bad thing. This show is already stacked with a cast of characters, and not every character needs to have crazy depth/development just to get the audience to care. It helps sure but not every character needs it.

These two are honestly a good example of that. They have their cute sweet moments across the series and it’s always a treat to see. Between that and their relationship having next to no drama between them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the first thing you see when you look up “Perfect Couples” online. Also being the first canon couple in the series timeline wise surely helps.

Thank you all for Joining me for Mylène’s Appreciation Week, I hope I did the Mylène fans justice. Also we’re two weeks into Miraculous May! If you stuck around this long I must be doing something right lol. We did a week for Zoe, a week for Mylène. Now stay tuned, as tomorrow we begin Marcaniel (Marc & Nathaniel) Appreciation Week!

Congratulations Debbie, you’ve truly earned your crown 👑 . Now don’t worry, we’re not discrediting the other moms on this list. I’m confident that they are great at what they do to provide/protect their families. Here are the final results:

Chilli: 210
Debbie: 218

I like to thank everyone who participated in this fun event. Feel free to let me know what Elimination style event you wanna see next. In a couple of months I might do Best Female Main Protagonist (Movie Edition).

Anyway, here’s the final ranking according to y’all:

1. Debbie Grayson 🏆
2. Chilli Heeler 🥈
3. Johanna 🥉
4. Nicole Williams
5. Carol
6. Nicole Watterson
7. Ms. Boonchuy
8. Sharon McGee
9. Emily Ramirez
10. Della Duck
11. Camilla Noceda
12. Nancy Green
13. Queen Arianna
14. Trudy Proud
15. Queen Moon
16. Beth Sanchez

Do you agree with the list? Let’s discuss down below. Until next time 😇.

Alright y’all, this is the second to last day of Mylène’s appreciation week before we move on to Marcaniel Appreciation Week. So get out some of your Mylène posts while you still can lol.

Throughout season 4 and 5 especially she stood her ground for what she believed in and one of those cases being a better and cleaner environment. She played her part in the Plastic special, The Mega Leech episode, even throughout season 5 where she stood her ground into not giving in to wearing those Alliance Rings. Granted, she did give in for a moment but the nightmares still had an effect + she only did it for the sake of stopping Monarch. Despite that, she was the only character that actively fought against these things that are affecting the planet and stood on her beliefs. And it helps that she’s got her supporting Boyfriend by her side.

Honestly, you guys need to do better when it comes to crediting these characters (writing wise and good qualities wise). I always see people using Chloe helping/saving ladybug whenever they’re trying to show her good qualities. Thats neat and all but where’s Nino’s credit for half the things he’s done? Or again, Mylène for being an unsung hero in some of these situations? Moving forward, I expect y’all to start ACKNOWLEDGING more of these characters efforts and qualities and not always reduce them to their lowest common denominator (worst qualities).

Wow, if I had a nickel for every time a Hilda character has entered these competition events and made it in 3rd place, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right? That’s not a bit btw, that actually happened. Go back and check.

Also, shoutout to the few commenters who predicted this finale. Johanna has sadly been eliminated but much like her daughter, she still manages to outdo some of the heavy hitters so that’s gotta be worth something. A part of me thinks she deserves the win because she is the definition of Best Mom, but I would be okay if Debbie or Chilli took the title as they too also deserve it. Here are the results:

Chilli: 12 votes
Debbie: 14 votes
Johanna: 15 votes

Full disclaimer before I say the rules. I enjoy all of these Characters for one reason or another so no matter who wins they will still remain well beloved by their fans, for better or worse.

Getting back on track, let’s just get to the rules:

1. You only have 24 hours to vote for the winner

2. You can only pick one per vote. Meaning don’t pick two moms at a time, you’re only choosing your favorite from the roster and we continue from there.

I think that’s about it, just remember to be as civil as possible about it in the comments.

Okay the final voting will begin now.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and I hope everyone had a wonderful day and celebrating their Mother figures whether they’re blood related or not 😇. Anyway, we switched things around yesterday and… here are the top results:

Coming in the lead with a total of 70 votes: Chilli from Bluey
Coming in 2nd place with a total of 48 votes: Johanna from Hilda
Coming in a close third with a total of 42 votes: Debbie from Invincible

Nicole from Craig of the Creek has a total of 20 votes and sadly has been booted out. She’s still a great mother figure and I’m at least happy that an underrated individual made it this far. Also Rest In Peace Kimberly Hébert Gregory who voiced the character 💐💐💐.

Full disclaimer before I say the rules. I enjoy all of these Characters for one reason or another so no matter who wins they will still remain well beloved by their fans, for better or worse.

Also just because you voted for your least favorite, doesn’t always mean you dislike them or hate them. It could just mean that you enjoy the others more or simply because you haven’t seen the show, which is also fair so keep that in mind.

Getting back on track, let’s just get to the rules:

1. You only have 24 hours to vote your least favorite in the comments. I will be counting the comments to determine who gets eliminated.

2. You can only pick one per vote. Meaning don’t pick two moms at a time, you’re only choosing your least favorite from the roster and we continue from there.

I think that’s about it, just remember to be as civil as possible about it in the comments.

Okay the voting will begin now.

Firstly I’d like to Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. I hope y’all are having a good time.

So we lost a great hero today. And that hero is Carol, who’s also a great mom. She honestly did pretty well, especially since she came from an underrated series. Yes, y’all don’t have to tell me about her design, I know already 😅. It’s a choice, but we’re gonna move on 🤣. Anyway, Here are the top results:

Carol: 10 votes
Nicole Williams: 8 votes
Debbie & Chilli: 4 votes each
Johanna: 1 vote

Okay today for the occasion, we’re switching things up. This time, you have to vote for your FAVORITE cartoon Mom. However, the mom with the least votes will be booted off and won’t make the Top 3.

Our final 4 are:

1. Debbie Grayson from Invincible
2. Chilli Heeler from Bluey
3. Johanna from Hilda
4. Nicole Williams from Craig of the Creek

For me, the short (and obvious) answer is yes. She may not have had a lot of time, but I believe she’s a great addition to the team. She’s a good example of “you don’t need to throw hands or have flashy powers to be useful in a team.” Everyone has a part to play and she played hers well.

Bonus Question: Do you like her Previous Design or her New Design better? Both can be an answer lol.
