now that's what you call a cat-astrophe!

(it has some really fantastic adrinette lines though)

but like. ladynoir is on another level to me. there’s little that could touch that level of intimacy and something that essentially ties them together, their miraculous and duty, but there’s respect and admiration at the baseline for both of them. and they go beyond the necessary job description, and learned so much from each other.

so yeah anyway. to me, ladynoir is this beautiful, secretive yet trusting relationship, and any way you slice it to me, they care about each other. like, I think their talk in the beginning of Perfection is so sweet.

she asks him if his girl loves him back. he asks if she told her guy how she feels. their two biggest problems!!!! they care about each other so much.

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

Then he says, “I mean, the problem isn’t the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is a man or woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don’t need to know.”

“You don’t need to know… people’s gender?”

“No. I don’t care, I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to remember it.”

Grandma: Oh, it was for Star Trek. Just little stories about Kirk and Spock, you know?
