why thank you anon!

I mean I do own the coolest t-shirt (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

Honestly I'm so upset with Miraculous Ladybug right now because they're doing something Star vs the Forces of Evil has done before which is introducing us a great character, with a good personality who genuinely cares for the main character and wants to be with them and cherish them and treat them like they deserve (Jackie with Marco, Tom with Star). And honestly, it feels amazing to see someone in the show liking the mc so badly but it's simply plot device so that the love interests will notice "Hey now that you're together with someone else and not paying attention to me I think I want you" (Marco Diaz style).

The theme was done horribly in Star vs the Forces of Evil and painted Marco as some selfish jerk who's trying to steal a girl he didn't even want to begin with from her boyfriend (and his friend!!) to the point that cheating was involved - It got so bad that Daron had to create an episode where the main characters crushes on each other were all part of a curse so that the mistakes could be justified (yeah right, use magic, magic solves everything) - and now I'm really afraid that Miraculous Ladybug is doing the same with Marinette and Adrien.

Luka has always shown his interest towards Marinette, admiring and complimenting her whenever he could. While Adrien did do the same he kept arguing that it was out of friendship and there were no feelings involved (because of his undying love for Ladybug which is also becoming annoying but that's a topic for later). But in Silencer there's no Adrien at all. Marinette doesn't even talk about him, not even when Ladybug is speeding past his window and I'm sorry to say that but it was really refreshing to see at least one episode where Marinette is not obsessing over what Adrien would think of her or how to catch his attention or what Adrien is doing. She's not doing that about Luka either even though they spent the entire episode together. She's simply being herself and trying to help out her friends, her crush on him doesn't get in the way of that and that's the amazing part of that.

I'm not complaining, I really loved the episode but that's exactly the author's intention (trust me I'm a writer I've done this before). Silencer is meant for us to question our ships, they're showing us how great and in synch Marinette and Luka are. How they work together, how they help each other out. Don't tell me you didn't notice this:

or this:

also this:

C'mon! even when she's Ladybug? That's dirty Zag!

Also, let's not forget that even Hawkmoth knows what's up:

But it's all for nothing! They're showing us how Marinette's life could go if Adrien didn't exist. So that when we start saying things like "Awww they're so cute together" or "I want Luka with Marinette now" they'll come out and say "Ha! Joke's on you! Marinette loves Adrien and always will! Wanna know why? Because they're soulmates!" when on the next episode Marinette shows up stuttering and making a fool of herself in front of Adrien all over again.

Don't get me wrong, I like Adrienette... sometimes. They're cute together. But it's not healthy for Marinette to keep chasing after someone who's only told her he likes her as a friend. You can argue that she hasn't confessed to him yet but she has! Remember Weredad? She tells Chat Noir she likes him and he doesn't even consider the possibility. Speaking of Chat, another thing that's not healthy is his love for Ladybug. It's selfish and it's annoying. If I had a boy I liked and there was another boy who I cared for that kept hitting on me and trying to get me to kiss him and chasing after me even though I told him a hundred times that I'm not interested I'd cut ties with him until he could understand that it's not gonna happen. Honestly, to me Chat's presence in the episode was completely unnecessary. Ladybug could have defeated Silencer on her own had she not lost her voice (which was also dumb, c'mon Luka is smart and that plan they used to get her lucky charm to work was completely stupid). What did Chat do? Hit on her, tease her, be in love with her. That's it. His fight with Luka was completely stupid too.

Again,

I don't hate Chat or Adrien or any ship with him. I don't like the way Miraculous Ladybug is handling their relationship and I've had my doubts about his love being unhealthy ever since Marinette's mother told him to not give up and that his feelings are valid. It's like everybody is prioritizing his feelings over Ladybug's and telling him "One day she'll fall for your charms, just wait" and tell you what? She will! Because they're soulmates!

So it doesn't matter if Luka is supportive. It doesn't matter if he's selfless and funny and brave and honest. It doesn't matter if he genuinely cares for Marinette and got akumatized exclusively to protect her because in the end Adrien is meant to be with her, not him. At this point Adrien could even start ignoring Marinette, stop complimenting her or sit down and do nothing because guess what? While Marinette is hurt by him Chat Noir is gonna have room to win Ladybug's heart by offering her the love his other self denied her. It feels so dumb to just chalk it up to them being partners or soulmates, like she can't even control her destiny, make her own choice. She's not obligated to end up with someone just cause they work together, especially not someone who keeps imposing his feelings on her.

So this:

GUYS, guys, guys! You don't understand, I've tried literally everything to watch the new Brooklyn 99 episode. I made tons of accounts on tv servers and went as far as to download a vpn and try to mask my ip address so the damn website would think I'm Australian and let me watch it, nothing has worked! I know tons of you have already watched it so I beg you, please, please send me a link that actually works with no restrictions where I can watch it. It can even be a temporary link that'll only work for today. I don't mind. It's just... I've seen so many spoilers and I really want to see my babies again. Please help me

Today my mother talked about exaggerations and (she hates when I do it but) I remembered (s3 ep22: FBI) when Jake says "I can see [the scar] from 20 miles away!" and the FBI agent and Holt are all like "You must have incredible vision" "Or it's a really big scar" and Jake says he was clearly exaggerating and my mom even laughed a little (and didn't scold me for involving fictional characters into a real convo lol).

Then tonight I was with my cousin and she was talking about things out of context or when you're supposed to say something and you say something else entirely and I brought up (s4 ep9: the overmining) how C.J. takes a sip of the soup and says "That's gonna leave a mark" while Jake stands there completely confused and my cousin laughed a lot.

So yeah, I just love how people who never watched the show or never even heard about it can appreaciate it for its humour and essence. Just another reason why b99 is the best tv show ever, cool, cool, cool, no doubt, no doubt.

Well, if you're talking about Korra from the Legend of Korra and Marceline from Adventure Time I think it would be kind of an interesting dynamic. I mean, Korra is described as "very tough, very headstrong and not scared to get into a fight" and Marceline is rarely intimidated, being even seen as a villain at the beginning of the show so let's try to fit them into what I call the 3 must-haves to be best buddies:

1. They get each others back

Yes. I think in a fight these two would be invincible together. With their strenghts and minds combined they could take down any kind of enemy. Plus I think they would be able to form quick strategies and always be one step ahead their adversaries.

2. They can learn something from each other

Also true since they're kind of opposites with Marceline being all chill and Korra being stubborn and hot-headed. Marceline could teach her that sometimes it's good to just joke around and let her guard down while Korra could teach Marceline to be more focused and that'd help her mature.

3. They can trust each other

Okay. This was the hardest.

Imagine Korra and Marceline are just now meeting. I personally think Korra would have a hard time trusting her at first thanks to Marceline's mischievous personality and her elaborate jokes. Korra's stubbornness and her being short-tempered would probably be the source of some of their conflicts but after their first fight together and seeing how they fall in synch with one another Korra would have to admit that she misjudged Marceline and thus their journey to grow and become better friends would begin.
