Adult in Miraculous? Nathalie, easily. She's a pretty complex and interesting character that we're still learning stuff about (I need to know more about what her deal with The Kingdom is, I think she's protecting Marinette but we'll see??). She's far from innocent and has done genuinely bad things (helping Gabriel and being Mayura) but she also has redeemable qualities, the most obvious one being her genuine love for Adrien and her care for his well-being, his freedom and his happiness. She truly loves that kid as if he were her son and would do anything for him. She's a truly devoted person. However that devotion also led her to do those bad things in the past so like.

It's also definitely not a stretch at all to say he'd probably met people who self-medicated with cocaine to deal with what we'd now call ADHD. Like, the second ever Sherlock Holmes story begins with Watson protesting Holmes' overuse of cocaine, and Holmes replying that he needs it to deal with his overactive brain -- it's entirely plausible that ACD had had that exact conversation with someone or multiple someones.

At a time when cocaine was regularly administered by other doctors, Doyle wrote Watson to have a clear aversion and dislike of the drug and understood that it was bad for you. It’s written as a clear indication that Sherlock, despite all his brilliance and genius, is still a human being who can make very bad decisions for himself.

Not only that, but Watson does ultimately win and gets Sherlock off of his addition to cocaine in the end. It takes him a while, but Sherlock is weened off the drug and this is seen as a good thing for everyone involved. In fact in a later story Watson comes home and sees a needle and fears that Sherlock might’ve had a relapse (he didn’t, the needle was just being used for something else involving a case).

He had a clear disdain for social convention while understanding deeply how to conform to it in order to survive; a lot of Holmes' deductions actually depend on assumptions about typical human behavior in a given situation rather than physical evidence alone. It's the kind of encyclopedic conscious knowledge of unwritten social rules you might develop in order to mask successfully.

OK OK I’M SORRY BUT I HAVE TO GET THIS OUT. BUT I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT AN EPISODE SINCE BLOODMOON BALL.

The reason why Bloodmoon Ball hyped me up so much was because it was the first real sign that Star and Marco were being shipped together. I thought it was impossible for Disney to do it, but they did. Now since then, I’ve been seeing a common trend in Star and Marco’s relationship. As you guys all know, Star is usually the headstrong, adventurous one and Marco is the safe, insecure one. Look at the promo for the new episode: Star actually looks like she’s actually dealing with conflicting emotions as Marco and Jackie go on their date.

Look at the way Star’s hands are crossed over her heart in that second picture. It reminds me of when Marco said she looked “amazing” in Bloodmoon Ball, only this time, the roles are reversed. Star is a very talk first, think later kind of person, so she doesn’t hold well with all these weird emotions that’s starting to plague her. I mean look at this:

Have you ever seen her SO upset just because she can’t talk to Marco or that he isn’t paying as much attention to her as he usually does? This role reversal just makes me cry with joy. Picture it like this:

Marco Diaz, the insecure, shy, normal kid on Earth is finally going on a date with his long time crush, Jackie. Star Butterfly, a princess from another dimension, who fights monsters and travel dimensions for fun, is destined to rule over a whole dimension, and possesses possibly the most powerful object in the universe, is UPSET that this insecure, shy guy isn’t giving her attention. She could easily catch the attention of someone more famous or more powerful but no, she wants THIS GUY to pay attention to her.

every three months he'll post and in the author's note there's some shit like "sorry this took a while, i got shot seven times :/" or "i know it's been a minute, i literally got hit by a bus and then stabbed in the leg, but i'm all good!" or sometimes ned would log in and post with a note "hey i'm a friend posting on the author's behalf, they're healing from severe hypothermia but promised an update, so here it is!"

and the fic just gets increasingly more popular for the author notes alone. a good handful of the comments are something along the lines of "i'm not even in the star wars fandom, i'm just here to see if the author is good" or "every update i cheer for another day the author gets to live at this point"

and any reader who is a native new yorker kind of pieces together that holy shit the author might be spider-man because the timeline adds up, and they just fully embrace it. spider-man will stop a robbery and the guy behind the counter will ask when the next chapter will be up. spider-man returns a stolen backpack to a girl and she'll tell him that he "really got poe's voice down so well, it's really impressive."

ned thinks it is hilarious. mj finds out about the fic from twitter, to peter's absolute horror, and changes peter's contact name to "friendly neighborhood ao3 author". but the worst thing to happen is after an avengers battle where peter took a pretty big hit and ends up in med-bay. and during a press conference, when someone asks how spider-man is healing, tony just drops "spidey won't be down for too long. the star wars fic will be updated within the week, probably."

It’s easy to think “yeah I’m ready to accept this” before the “this” happens, harder when you’re faced with the reality of the events. Once the dimensions actually started collapsing and she was put in front of the reality of losing Marco forever she realized she couldn’t have lived without him, and decided to leave her home dimension forever - even if that would have hurt her and her family and friends immensely - to be with Marco.

I had to wait for the movie version of her prom where she actually wore a dress that I liked and colors that suited her cause lets be for real marinette was not walking that pink in this episode.
