Cada vez q veo a alguien comparando a Alya y Kagami quiero llorar. Las dos son great and beautiful and amazing y tienen roles diferentes en la vida de Marinette and in the story. They do not have to be compared. We do not have to find out which one is better than the other 😭
I personally fixate on Kagami more than Alya but that doesn’t mean I think she’d be a better best friend to Marinette. Ambas fueron convencidas por las mentiras de Lila y la razon por cuál Kagami no se enojo con Marinette como Alya si lo hizo al enterarse q Marinette esta mintiendo sobre Gabriel es porque Kagami tiene su propia razon para guardar la verdad. Ya que no quiere que su madre vaya a prision. Lo cuál no estoy tratando de usar para odiar a Kagami (she’s literally my fav girl) but using the argument that Kagami supported Marinette but Alya didn’t is quite silly to me.
(me dio con hacer un post Spanglish)
Ngl it breaks my heart that apart from Gorilla (and I can barely count Gorilla)*, Adrien has no one, not a single person, in his corner that he can trust wholeheartedly that doesn’t have a secret that can be used against him
*because for whatever damn reason they refuse to give him and Adrien more depth and connection in their surface level relationship
The S6 finale....
How much did that ending echo Cat Blanc? Marinette running out of the mansion in tears, with the rain - because she's decided she has to break up with Adrien, thanks to drama with his father - and Adrien left in utter bewilderment on every level.
I'm sooooo rooting for him to find out the truth and have a temporary villain arc. There have just been too many Chekhov's guns about it over the years. But when I think of pacing, I reckon it won't happen until the very end of S7, or that's when he'll find out the truth and the arc will happen in S8.
She's going to be a wreck in S7, what with her worrying parents and her best friend frosty with her. Also, how good was Alya during the battle, saying, 'Let's split up'
Now that the season is over, which do you think was the best and worst akuma of the season?
Honestly I didn't see enough of them in action?
Chloé looked iconic as always.
Uncle Wang's akuma wasn't even updated, so he probably gets the low point for design.
Heartfixer was the most do-nothing akuma.
Nemesis was the akuma that made no sense.
Sublimation was the most 'what are we even fighting about?' akuma. Like, she made people better?
Aside from the whole *murdering Adrien* thing werepapas akuma was funny.
The akumas don't really stand out a lot this season to me. Nothing felt dangerous.

It's really odd how many people respond to the statement "this is abuse apologia" with the equivalent of "nuh uh!"
I have seen some half hearted attempts at arguments (such as how mari accepts Felix and Kagami's abuse), but I have yet to see a single person try and break down why we're wrong that Mari is defending abuse. We go through line by line of episode transcripts and explain why each defense of abuse is considered as such, and the counter argument always boils down to "no!"
Which isn't an argument.
I want to be more understanding to maripologists, but they quite literally give me nothing to work with. 'She's traumatized' isn't a response to 'this line is very commonly used against abuse survivors.' 'She's 14 and was manipulated' isn't a response to 'these are the exact manipulation and gaslighting techniques Marinette is using in this scene.' It's all just deflection that means nothing. Its like they were never taught how intellectual discourse works. Bringing up an unrelated point isn't debunking the statement that was made.
I do my best to stay on the message that A)these behaviors are bad and B)there is no reason to be *writing your protagonist this way*.
Sometimes it helps them get less defensive. These folks have attached part of their personal identity to Marinette so if she is 'bad' they feel they are 'bad'. They respond to *that* feeling, not your arguments. You have to try to unwind that if you want to get through.
TA: Don't criticize Marinette! Just give her a chance!
Fans: What about Chloe? Did you give her a chance? Did you?!
You don't understand, Marinette *feels bad* and in the ethical framework TA works with it doesn't matter what you do as long as you *feel bad* about it. Since Marinette feels bad almost 24/7 she's practically a saint. #eyeroll.
Something about the way Marinette ends the season mit with telling Adrien the truth, but by deciding (or at least considering) to break up with him, something that is obviously not going to help him in any way either. The comforting thing about self-sacrifice is that you are still in control. Even if hurts, at least it was your plan, your decision. A frank discussion with Adrien, at the end of which he might decide to break up? That’s scarier to her than just her breaking things off outright.
