I mean, when one of the team loses and the other goes to replace him, and this continues until all the team members lose. I hope you understand what I mean.

Why is this take still common in the fandom, especially in tiktok? Why do people generally think that Marinette is obligated to help Chloe improve and give her Miraculous? If I were Marinette, I would do the same to the man who humiliated me for years just for fun.

He's so grumpy and cute I love him 😭

Do you remember what he was like in Metal Fusion? Yu always seemed like someone who was quite smart and knew more than he let on, which allowed him to be powerful in Beyblade. He easily took down the entire Ginkga gang, primarily using his mind rather than Libra's abilities. Metal Masters initially tried to convey this in early episodes when Yu was trying to calculate Striker's trajectory and speed, but otherwise, Yu just acted like a normal, clueless kid, which is normal for his age, but ruins his character in Metal Fusion. In Metal Fury, fortunately, this was fixed, and Yu is once again portrayed as very strong and smart, even taking on leadership roles when he was teamed up with Tithi, who sees him as an older brother figure, and Kyoya. Seriously, Metal Masters is an anomaly in Yu's development, because Metal Fury handled it perfectly.

I believe that at the end of season five, the Kingdom somehow learned of her location, likely thanks to Tomoe, who might have been upset that Cerise had decided to steal the Butterfly Miraculous for herself and use it for her own purposes. Remember that in the London special, Cerise made a wish without consulting Tomoe or anyone from the Kingdom (I don't know if she was aware of this organization until season six), which could mean she wanted to act alone, but the Kingdom had other plans. Some fans have noticed that when Chrysalis communicates with her victims, she sometimes uses Noe and Natalie's voices. This could simply be a reuse of voice actors or a deliberate design.

So, I think Cerise had her own agenda from the start, but the Kingdom found her at the end of season five, and judging by her terrified reaction, they don't have good intentions. They want to take Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses to learn their identities. Cerise is completely certain that Ladybug is Marinette, but she continues to gather evidence instead of attacking Marinette directly, like in the London Special. Why? Probably because the Kingdom wants a direct answer, not just guesses, as Tomoe demanded of Cerise in "Vampigami."

Cerise is now being used as a pawn by them to do all the dirty work, but they also come into play to manipulate and guide the akumatized victim.

I'll be honest, but yes, I feel bad. I know that this is not the right thing to post here, because every living being has problems, but I swear, I don't know where to scream anymore. I'm 22 years old, I have achieved nothing except going to work every day, I have lost the meaning of life, I have rejected all my friends, I am drowning in envy and hatred. Why am I writing this here? Because... well... I sometimes like to imagine how my F/O Jose Carioca... helps me a little? Have you seen movies with him? He always seems so easy-going, incredible, charming, cheerful, as if he has no problems, as if his whole life is fun. It would be great if one day he appeared in front of me, took my hand and ran and led me somewhere. Maybe he showed me Brazil (I wonder how he could move me from Russia to Brazil, but if he could move Donald anywhere, then theoretically it would work with me too). And would he do it just... because I exist? Not because I'm some incredible person that everyone loves, but simply because he would feel like I deserve to be happy just like everyone else? Sorry if this post seems rambling, but I would really want a boyfriend/friend like Jose...

Like, the only significant time they interacted was in "Brief Engagement," when Pandora, unaware that William was under Ratswami's hypnosis, arranged a wedding for him and Sally. But what else do they have? William just sees her as, "Um... some little girl who's somehow close to my family. Okay." or what? 😭

I'm sure they'll try to separate him from Kagami, but Felix isn't the type to tolerate bullying. I wonder how far he'd go to shut someone like these guys up.

This artist temporarily opened the requests (they are already closed) and I asked her to draw a male version of Pandora. I think his name is Pandor. To be honest, Pandora is my favorite character, but I would prefer AU, in which EVERYTHING is THE SAME, but Pandora is a boy.

So, I know it's good that characters aren't perfect and that makes them more relatable, but I still want to touch on a topic that's rarely touched on in this fandom, if at all, because I haven't seen anyone discuss it.

Benjamin is a spoiled brat and often acts as if the world revolves around him. This is understandable, because he was raised by Geronimo, who gave him everything, and as the books say, he can't say no to his beloved nephew, which is quite destructive parenting, but Geronimo can't help it because he's a weak individual. Geronimo often had to drop what he was doing SIMPLY BECAUSE Benjamin suddenly needed something, like in the episode "Return to the Dojo," when he begged Geronimo to find him a karate master, and Geronimo actually quit his hard work, which he was failing at, and went to fulfill his nephew's whim. See? He didn't tell him to wait; he IMMEDIATELY went to do it. And this is paying off in Ben's interactions with his peers.

In "Top Model Thea," Ben made it clear he didn't want to be in the famous fashion designer's office, showing he didn't care and that he didn't like "girly things." And most importantly, Geronimo wasn't there just for the report, but so Pandora, a fashion lover, could be there too. It was supposed to be HER day, but Benjamin, apparently taken on by his uncle to learn how to be a reporter in the future, didn't care. Why couldn't he just shut up and not offend his close friend with his ignorance? This shows he doesn't take her interests seriously, and also that he doesn't even want to understand the basics of his uncle's job, because reporting isn't always about what you like.

His jerkish attitude toward Pandora continues in "Skateboarding Championship," when she coached him for the skateboarding championship and accidentally scored higher than him, also qualifying for the championship. Ben, of course, didn't like this and started acting rudely toward her, even though she was happy to spend time with him. See what I mean? Pandora is always willing to support Ben, but Ben has never shown that he could put her feelings above his own. And honestly? If Pandora's absence in the later books is because she couldn't maintain a friendship with someone like that, then I completely understand.

Ben also acted irrationally toward Candace in "Chauncey and the Secret Cheese" simply because she wanted to take the lead in the investigation. Like, what's your problem? Oh yeah, sorry, kid, not everyone wants to be in your shadow just because you're the main character's nephew.

In short, I hope Ben outgrows this phase in the future, otherwise he will have big problems with this character.

I'll be honest, but yes, Trappy pisses me off, at least because she's a copy of Trap, just younger and female. Why do we need another crazy character? Pandora was at least independent and charismatic (especially in the TV series). And I understand that it's not Trappy's fault that she's a replacement for her, because Trappy isn't the one who did it herself, but she still pisses me off.
