man, this show is really weird with its mlm and wlw representation. the only two “canon” couples in the show are never actually referred to as anything more than good friends in universe, whatever it is / was marinette had going on with fei and kagami, and now the only actual canon lgbtq+ representation in the show acknowledged in universe is in the form of zoe lee who has a crush on marinette … who is dating adrien.

so thank you miraculous for choosing not to make julerose and marcnath canon in universe for “censorship” purposes and then turn right around and give us wlw zoe who shows interest in one of the only girls in the show with a significant other.

Marinette, thinking: “8... people..”

A random person: “oh Jesus that’s a lo-”

MASSIVE SPOILERS

• can they stop. i’m not even kidding anymore. it’s pissing me off how creepy they’re making mari. and i’m coming for the writers in this mini-rant, because it’s annoying me so much. they could have easily made it so mari wanted to go to shanghai because she wanted to learn about her culture, and adrien happened to be there too. there was no reason to have it like that. it was making me so sad how her uncle/mum/dad were all so excited for her to learn about china, but the only reason she went was because she wanted to see adrien. it’s obsessive, it’s creepy, and they should not be promoting that behaviour to kids. 

• it bothers me how they’re styling the akumatized versions of east asian characters. i hated furious fu’s design, and don’t even get me started on silver fan man (the akumatized guy in the special, i can’t remember his name). why does there need to be some form of chinese written on them?? it’s just weird.

now, onto the good things! 

• despite the problems i had with it, i really loved it. i definitely prefer it over the new york special. 

• I LOVED THE PRODIGOUS STORYLINE. OHMYGOD. it was so fucking cool. when fei transformed i got goosebumps, i swear to god. i can’t wait to see if they bring it into any future episodes and/or specials! 

• marifei anyone...? the bike scene was fruity thats all im saying 

• WHEN CHAT ‘DIED’ I LOST IT OH MY GOD 

• can adrien and mari get over themselves. everyone thinks you guys are dating. THERES A REASON FOR THAT. stupid idiots. i love them. 

• we were so stupid for thinking we were gonna get a marichat scene. how dare they tease us like that. so rude. (but it’s okay, because marifei <3) 

• i love fei. she’s so fucking cool and i have the biggest crush on her. i loved her storyline and i really want to see more of her in future episodes and specials!
