Trains in Anime (and other random opinions)

lmao ja dat was dus ook mijn eerste gedachte

here it is, 25 minutes late to the party, my miraculous anniversary picture

QUEEN BEE!!

(With this I have run out of prompts! Please send more! I do not mind those that have prompted asking again!)

Adrien will never admit that he smells people.

It's not his fault, it's entirely Plagg's fault. But it's gotten him in trouble in ways that he can't properly explain to anyone else.

How can he explain that after Marinette was almost Akumatized that he started asigning scents to his friends and checking them regularly? Insanity.

How can he explain that some days, Nathalie smells like cigars and on those days the world is made of ice. A door closes between them.

She doesn't know he knows. But he does.

So when Sublime arrives late to their run he's already edge, but when her smell hits him - his entire body goes briefly tense before he makes himself relax, and taps out the sign he's worked out with Plagg to warn his Kwami.

Then he lets the run take him, though he never lets himself relax entirely into it.

"Hey." She says, casually as she finishes her water. "How have things been with Marinette?"

Ears he doesn't currently have pin flat to his head. A tail that isn't his swishes back and forth, balance shifting automatically to his toes completely incongruous with the current shape of him.

"Great!" He answers brightly and flashes a smile that shows normal, human teeth. "How are things with your mom?"

Something tightens around her borrowed eyes - a coldness gone in nothing more than a flash. "Better. I think she is finally listening to me."

How funny, that has the feel of truth. So, their enemy has a problem with their family too. Maybe even specifically with her mom.

Well. Him too, but he hasn't become a supervillan about it. And if she wanted friends, there were better ways to get it them.

"Good. Glad to hear it. It was hard for me, before my dad died." He says it carefully. "It's easier to know what a ghost wants."

"Really?" She's eager. Too eager. Sublime would have made some comforting noises and changed the subject. "What do you think he wants from you?"

Adrien swallows back a smile and lies. "I think he would want me to make sure that everyone remembers him as he was, a flawed human being."

"Oh. But. I mean- he's a hero, right?" Her eyes are too big and too wet and she misses the mark for genuine in her excitement to get him to talk about it.

But then, from the messages he keeps getting from anon accounts - she always knew, didn't she? He wonders if she was there that night.

"I think. He did something heroic. But it doesn’t change the life he lived before it. Lots of people are capable of doing one heroic thing." He tips his head, smiling guilelessly.

He knows he's better at the doe eyes that she is. He doesn't have his tail or his ears to give him away, no crackle of cataclysm at his fingertips.

Right now. He is just Adrien. He meets her gaze. And she looks away first, her gaze dropping to the rings before she offers a handshake. Nice try, but he grew up with Félix and it's a rediculous trick.

"I've told you before, friends hug." He teases and invades her space all at once. She goes stiff in his arms, but her only pats her back twice and steps back.

"Right. Well. Good run." She says, and ducks her head as she grabs her bag.

"See you tomorrow!" He calls after her, and checks his phone. Sublime has already texted back to Plagg's check in, apologizing. She lost her phone and couldn't call him.

But she had never joined him. Not today.

Her shape is already gone from the walkway.

post they’re referring to!!

I like to imagine she does it when she’s feeling insecure or she doesn’t meet up to her mom’s standards and then goes online to compare herself and make herself feel worse </3

Today is the one year anniversary of Miraculous Ladybug! I personally didn’t join the fandom until Kung Food aired (it was definitely a turning point in my life) but the time I have spent here has been so incredible I can honestly say I am jealous of those who have known about this show for longer than me. Miraculous Ladybug is a wonderful show and it has such wonderful fans! Here’s to many more anniversaries, and many more seasons. :)

In revelator and secret protocol Alya is able to maintain an illusion with divided focus with her having an entire conversation that has nothing to with what she’s making her illusion do in revelator and he being able to have the illusion react in real time to the lucky charm in Secret protocol

Her being able to control illusions without breaking focus on other things is so insane her brain is stronger than everyone else in that show combined for her to be able to do that

In nemesis she’s able to conjure a mirage so real that Chrysalis was able to akumatize it which raises so many questions and makes the fox miraculous so much cooler.

My personal headcannon as to why this worked is that Alya was able to channel her own negative emotion into the illusion which attracted the akuma and that Alya was partially effected by the akuma with how genuinly angry she got playing the role of nemesis

As for how the wind shield affected things in just gonna file that under the rooster bold clause

(Rooster Bold clause: his power is so basically plot armor that’s so bullcrap and cannon breaking that I don’t account for anything he does bc his power is just whatever the writers say it is in that moment)

Hey guys! I decided because of the general interest surrounding you guys have had about the subject lately with how long season 6 took to air, I’d post the airing timelines of each season that I originally had been keeping track of in a very messy note in my notes app (included under the cut lol)! I just think it’s a neat piece of history and outside of the data I already have, having a post keeping track would also be fun in the long run for future seasons! Lmk if you guys want any stats to be added to this but yeah, here we go!

Season 1

Premiered: September 1st 2015 via EBS1 (South Korea)

Ended: March 19th 2016 via Télé-Quebec (Canada)

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 6 months and 18 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: N/A

Season 2

Premiered: October 21st 2017 via Disney Channel Spain*

Ended: Nov 3rd 2018 via RTS (Switzerland)

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 1 year and 13 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: 2 years, 7 months, and 15 days

*Technicallyyyyyy you could say this season started in Dec 2016 with the premiere of “Santa Claws”, but I don’t think a single soul on this planet considers that the season 2 premiere even if it is technically a part of the season, seeing as it’s a Christmas Special that has like nothing to do with anything else. Very similar to the position ‘Action’ serves in season 5.

Season 3

Premiered: Dec 1st 2018 via Disney Channel Spain

Ended: Nov 13th 2019 via Disney Channel Uk & Ireland

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 11 months and 12 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: 1 year and 10 days

Season 4

Premiered: March 23 2021 via Gloob (Brasil)

Ended: March 10 2022 via Gloob (Brasil)

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 11 months and 15 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: 2 years, 3 months, and 25 days

Season 5

Premiered: June 13th 2022 via Gloob (Brasil)

Ended: July 1st 2023* via RTS (Switzerland)

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 1 year and 18 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: 1 year, 3 months, and 15 days

* Technically, you could say that this season ended September 10th 2023 when “Action” aired, seeing as that is counted as the 27th episode of this season. However, Action is less of an ‘official’ episode and more of an extended PSA , and it’s outside of the usual 26 episode count that every other season has, so I’m not going to be counting it as the end. I will however be measuring it as the latest point of this season to go off of when measuring the time between the end of this season and the end of season 6, so if the number looks off that’s why lol.

Season 6

Premiered: Jan 24th 2025 via Gloob (Brasil)

Ended: August 8th 2026 via Disney Channel USA

Total Airing Time from Premiere to End: 1 year, 6 months, and 15 days

Total time Between End of Last Season and End of this Season: 2 years, 10 months, and 29 days

Overall Stats

Longest hiatus between seasons: Season 1 -> 2 hiatus (1 year 7 months and 2 days)

Shortest hiatus between seasons: Season 2 -> 3 (28 days)

Season that took the longest to finish Airing: Season 6 (1 year 6 months and 15 days)

Season that took the shortest to finish Airing: Season 1 (6 months and 18 days)

Well…. That’s it!! Let me know if there’s some other statistics you guys want included in this post, and for funsies (and as promised) a screenshot of the og note that I had on my phone is below the cut. Also, if you guys want to cross reference this data to see if I got everything right, you can check out the miraculous wiki or, for extra fun, my seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6 countdowns (although 3 is missing the start and 5 is missing the end lol)! Hope this proved interesting 😋
