I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.
Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.
Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.
Did anyone else notice that Felix is the only holder with his back to the viewer?
I don't want to distrust him, I want to believe he's made a full heel face turn and is a good guy now, but this is just a little suspicious to me! I hope it's just him being edgy and not foreshadowing!!
Can't believe we got a canon Hades and Persephone AU.
having someone you can just be silly with is so so important
Okay but these shows that deal with "adult" topics absolutely ARE for children! While there might be a couple things that they might not fully comprehend, they absolutely teach them SUPER important lessons! I watched ATLA as a child and learned a lot about morality and deep emotional conflicts! Miraculous showing a panic attack can absolutely show children that either they are not alone (I've had panic attacks since I was pretty young) or teach them empathy for people who struggle with that. What do you MEAN children aren't supposed to be exposed to those realities that will help them grow and develop into emotionally healthy adults?? THAT'S THE POINT. DID YOU NOT WATCH MR. RODGERS!?
annoyed by the "it was never a kids show" crowd bc the comment implies that kids don't deserve complex media. then they'll name things that happened in the show and be like "it was never for kids..." like yeah actually atla was liked by children and was child appropriate even with the topics covered. actually mlb is still liked by children despite marinette having a panic attack in s4 (genuine comment i read???). you can say "i like a show targeted towards children" and "the show isn't only for kids" without saying that somehow the show is too inappropriate for children to justify your like of it
MARINETTE HAS FRECKLES!!!
Local heartthrob (allegedly) finally realizes how many love rivals he has.
“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.
I'm planning to do a BIG series of Kwami swaps (80 additional designs, plz wish me luck 🙏) but first I needed some basics of my design principles for each character and Kwami, so here are all the designs I'm working with::
To make the 80 designs more manageable, my plan is to work by the Miraculous first, for example I'll do all of the bee & all of the snake designs rather than all of Chloe & all of Luka's designs, that way I'm working in slightly smaller batches of designs & I can keep them unique enough from one another
And if anyone is curious, here's my chart for organizing the swaps and also the hero names:
(and I'm allowing comments on the document if you have any thoughts or alternate names (bc I'm not sold on ALL of them) so plz feel free to do so)
P.S. I don't intend on doing anything with this in terms of a story or lore, or even full illustrations, it's just something I've wanted to do for a long time
Listen I'm just here for shitposting and maybe short story or art posts IDK don't @ me
