This is absolutely 100% valid and it does help me see how they write Sublime differently, that maybe they are trying to imply that any actual flaws are purposefully hidden by her to make sure she appears better (again, her having fear or struggles is not an actual flaw). If they're truly going for this angle, like I said I would love to see her do more with her, so it would be great if she eventually reveals to Marinette (or anyone, but probably Marinette) some true character flaw, rather than just that she struggles with her disability (again, not a flaw, it's a very real, human characteristic that no one should be ashamed of).

Thank you for sharing your experience. It absolutely did not come off as rude, so don't worry! I myself am just sick of disabled people being treated as sources of inspiration (and only worth anything IF they're "inspirational"), and I felt they were doing that with Sublime, but perhaps they are actually subverting that and I took it too literally. Thank you for pointing that out! I will definitely see her from a different angle next time.

And yeah I pointed out in another post I LOVED that she joked about her disability! I also deal with my disability with humor!

Thoughts on Sublimation - Sublime

Okay, first of all, girl needs a real ass name not just "Sublime" please tell me that's a nickname.

But also omg so pretty with her hair like this okay.

But real thoughts now. I don't like how Mary Sue she is. Don't get me wrong, I do really like her so far, but she's just... TOO likeable. She has no character flaws. To me, it's coming off like the writers thought "disabled" and "traumatized" counted as character flaws which is frankly insulting.

I'm hoping I'm wrong here and they're gonna reveal more about her that will add some more interest and flaws, but, seriously, her being disabled is NOT a flaw, and there's no need to make her perfect to "make up" for her disability. It gives me disability inspiration obsession vibes, which is icky. Disabled people do NOT have to "overcome" their disability and be AMAZING people just to be worth your attention.

Again, I hope I'm wrong, the show has dealt with disability better before, but I truly just hope they add some spice beyond *trauma*, which is also not a character flaw.

I AM excited to see what they do with her!

i’m nine years late but i started playing mystic messenger last month bc i remembered hearing about it years ago and never played it before lol ^^

The point of Ladybug being immune to Sublimation’s power isn’t that she is the best person she can be period; it’s that she is the best person she can be right now, with the cards she’s been dealt. And these cards are, admittedly, pretty terrible.

She’s still flawed as a girlfriend, as a superheroine, as a guardian, as a human being! She still makes mistakes and still needs to face consequences! That was the entire point of the Miraculous Cure fixing the damage she caused. Like any teenager, any person really, she still has room to learn and grow!

But, crucially, the people who love her (in this case, Chat Noir, but we also see it from Alya and Sublime) are willing to meet her where she is: their affection and support are not conditional on the progress she hasn’t yet gotten a chance to make. And Marinette loves them as they are in turn — I think we’ll all agree Chat Noir’s mental health definitely isn’t optimal, yet he was able to break free from the spell too, simply because she believed he could!

I think there’s a lesson to be learnt here. The power of love always so strong, and all that.

A graceful dive
