Lost my gender in a McDonald's play place

AT2D KEYCHAIN FINALLY ON MY ACGGOODS STORE!!

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she's aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

gosh I enjoy this website

If they're two seperate timelines then Bunnyx's unicorn plush should not have been affected. If they're the same timeline then it doesn't make sense that Rose acts in one but doesn't in the other unless she's also a time traveler.

I've never seen a story do this because as confusing as time travel can be I think it's pretty intuitive that the past does not change unless something from outside changes it and it drives me batshit as a fan of time travel stories

You're completely right and it's one of the many, many reasons I hate that episode. The canonical and word-of-god cause of Chat Blanc is Marinette using the Ladybug miraculous to give Adrien a present, a selfish act that led her to be punished via Chat Blanc because Marinette must only use her power selflessly*. But the way Alix is played makes it seem like there's also time magic going on. We are actively down that Alix's memory doesn't match what she's seeing in the portals:

Bunnyx: How is this possible? That's not what I remember! (holds up unicorn plushie, which glitches and disappears; rewinds)

It's really weird. Why write it like this? If you want everything to be Marinette's fault, why not just have Bunnyx be a character from the past who is correcting their relative future? That's so much simpler than future Alix correcting her past without any explanation for why her memory doesn't match the past.

In a better show, canon Chat Blanc could have been the setup for the London special. We nix Ladybug being blamed and instead Alix says that someone was messing with the timeline and she's going to find out who. That would mean that Chat Blanc would need to happen much later in the timeline or we'd need more time travel episodes in seasons four and five, all of which were caused by this mysterious other who is finally revealed in the London special. That fix would reframe Alix's interference. We'd no longer have a message that ruins the show's stakes by assuring us that Alix will always reset time if things go too wrong. Instead the message is that Alix won't touch things if they're meant to be. She's only here because someone is playing with time and that's the domain she's charged to protect.

The only way I'd be okay with time being messed with the way it was in canon is if it directly led to Gabriel's downfall since he's the actual problem here and I think the rule should be that time travelers keep their interference to one interventions per issue and those interventions need to be focused on the true root cause, not side effects. In this case, the issue is the butterfly being in the wrong hands which is why Alix's intervention didn't stop the issue from happening again in the next season (Ephemeral). That means her intervention ultimately failed. I also stand by the fact that, if that's the way you want to play Chat Blanc, then Bunnyx needs to be someone from the past.

*Note: I hate that Chat Blanc is officially Marinette's punishment for a single, mildly selfish use of her miraculous. Chat Blanc is an insanely over-the-top punishment and it wasn't even her fault! The real issue was Gabriel finding out Adrien's identity, not Marinette giving Adrien a gift!

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.

And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?

And usually doctors immediately take the "of course you need to be checked out! That's the responsible thing to do!"
