Looking for a fic. HAS BEEN FOUND.

The fic Is where marinette goes to gotham, she's friends with Chloe and something happens I think an earthquake or something. But Marinette helps the Wayne's rebuild gotham. It was I think daminette and had Tom and Sabine salt.

"Oh, but if you were in Marinette's position, you'd do the same as her" (calling Gabriel a hero).

I. Would. Not.

First of all, I do not like to lie. Whenever I do lie, I'll just come clean some seconds later because lying makes me feel anxious and bad.

Secondly, if my partners' dad imprisoned them, brainwash the entire world, put people's life in danger multiple times for months, use my partners face (which made my partner uncomfortable) on an AI softwere and (insert every other bad thing Gabriel has done), calling him a hero would make me feel sick to my stomach.

You can not assume that everyone will do the same because not everyone is the same.

Someone might have done the same as Mari.

Someone might've kept quiet about everything and let another person tell the truth.

Someone might've kept quiet and let the partner figure the stuff on their own.

Someone might've revealed the truth to the partner, exclusively.

Someone might've revealed the truth to everyone.

Someone, not everyone.

We are all different individuals with different upbringings, cultures, religions, families, ethnicities, nationalities, wants, needs, likes, interests, hobbies, passions, goals, dislikes, personalities, sexualities, gender, looks, skills, flaws, and the list just keeps going on, that makes us who we are.

El Toro de Piedra

Wow! Just wow! A LITERAL criminal doesn't go to jail for actual crimes and instead gets excused BY THE HEROES cause "He'S TrYiNg To Be BeTtEr"

Just when I thought they couldn't sink lower 😂

Why does Paris even need the police anymore?

You know what makes this even funnier than it already is? This scene literally excuses all of Gabriel's actions as Hawk Moth. The maturity of the writers truly is 🤌

Do the writers understand there are kids out there with criminal parents, parents or relatives in jail (or overall just abusive ones) and it's not all "but they're trying to be better 🥺"? That it's not about "but I love them please don't hurt them 🥺" but more "I WISH they loved me and I WISH they were better" - that even if a kid would want to believe nothing bad should happen to their parents, you need to face the consequences of your actions and sometimes that's jail. Cause that's why jail exists!

Hell, some kids break up contact with their parents later cause they treated them like sh*t and were sh*tty parents all their lives. Why should they keep around such a person? And it most definitely SHOULDN'T be encouraged to keep toxic people around you cause "tHeY'Re FaMiLy"

Some wish they could escape their situations and some, if they're lucky, can. And they're happy about it! A lot of these times kids face severe trauma and some never truly get out of it even years later. And in this case we are talking about an actual criminal, wanted by the police probably for years, who, on top, tried to force his son into a criminal activity. And technically we don't even know how often he forced Ivan into such an action

You know the quote "blood is thicker than water"? Guess what? It's not only toxic but WRONG. This is what happens when you shorten the original quote and switch the meaning. Here's the actual quote: "Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb" - see how the meaning takes a 180 turn?

Cause my last post did so well (thank you haters and stans 🫶) I thought, why not make a post about their delusions and bs. So let's talk Felix (this is for the stans 😘):

• "Emotion": he commited terrorism, was happily spreading fear and ceased innocent people from existance cause they were human and he doesn't like humans, a crime based on pure hatred - basically magical genocide (for a lil comparison check Magneto and his view on humans/mutants)

• "Pretension": Felix stalks and kidnaps Kagami, thinking it's just fine. Starts being interested in her romantically cause she's senti. He never cared about her before, only after finding out did he start caring - this plus fact above confirms he's racist against humans. No, Colt's abuse against him doesn't justify anything. Recreate the scenario in your head if it was with black and white people. Oh and on top of this, Felix makes Kagami feel sorry for him so she gives him a chance, which in the end works. Basically little guilttripping. But she also gets together with him cause he looks like her ex, for whom she still has unresolved feelings for so all in all Feligami is not only underdeveloped (has no build-up) but in a way also disgusting

• "Felix": His introduction and we already get to know he never cared for Adrien, in fact bullied him since they were little. The small amount of time he's there he invades Adrien's privacy on his phone, sends a hate message to his friends, hoping to break up their friendship, further pretends to be him to mess with his cousin as much as he can, SAs Ladybug so, again he can mess with Adrien and make his crush hate him, and puts camembert under Adrien's pillow just because. And ofc also steals Gabriel's ring cause his mother wanted to have it (who already never cared for them and only visited to get the rings back). Definitely respectful towards Gabriel AND Adrien and if he cares for his cousin so much, shouldn't he know Adrien has a right to those rings too? (Literally his amoks) Oh and in the end, he pretends to feel sorry - he doesn't a little bit ofc. Lovely boy 🤪

• Multiple eps in s4: Snoops around the Agreste mansion just cause he can - he literally has no motive other than snoop around and maybe find some dirt cause why not? If it wasn't obvious already gonna say it again - disrespectful af move. Imagine if one of your relatives or friends decided to basically break into private sections of your house.

• Season 4 finale: Decides to pretend to be Adrien, NOT for his benefit but his own which in the end he exploits by betraying Ladybug's trust and dealing every miraculous for the peacock with the villain. For all the heroes and whole Paris knows, Monarch won. He will defeat the heroes and make his Wish and dominate the Earth. "Lucky" for them plot armour exists and that Gabriel "only" wanted to bring Emilie back otherwise it would've meant the end of the world. And Felix helped without any bother or remorse 😃 Gonna say it - s5 would look different if Felix didn't exchange every miraculous for one. Hell, there's a chance Gabriel might've not gone mad!

• "Representation": After everything he's done he has the nerve to go to Marinette, not even directly(!), and ask her to help defeat Monarch so that HE can have a happy ending with his girlfriend. His motive wasn't "Monarch needs to be stopped cause he's the villain and people need to be safe" but "Monarch needs to be stopped cause I want ME to be safe with MY girlfriend" - can you smell the selfishness here?

• He claims to care so much for his cousin but as mentioned, he bullied him since they were kids, but he's senti so now he cares oh and now that Kagami is his girlfriend, he had every reason to try breaking Adrien and Kagami out of their lockdown in London. He literally lives there. But he didn't.

• Guess what? The writers and the fans want to make him out to be a hero but he isn't and never was. In fact he never even AT LEAST apologized to Ladybug after everything he's done, for betraying her for example 😃

So on a final note - you can't excuse him. These are things he did. It's canon. You can't twist around anything. If you want to try and excuse him, ask yourself "are you REALLY a fan of the character if you can't accept their wrongdoings? Or do you just want your fav character to be a perfect angel?"

For everything he does he has selfish reasons. And that's his character, accept it.

Colt's abuse doesn't excuse anything. Like the saying goes "it's an explanation, NOT an excuse"

In fact, by the narrative's standard it definitely doesn't give you the right to behave like a jacka**, see Chloe who never got a redemption cause "she was too far gone" and this scene:

Rose: "Don't be mad at her. She's this way because her mother left her when she was young."

Mylène: "So did mine! And you don't see me having fun bullying Marinette."

And for sure it doesn't give anyone any right to wield a miraculous, quoting Astruc: "Mean people don't and will never deserve a Miraculous"

Another interesting fact Astruc once revealed was about why Felix was later switched to Adrien as the love interest for Marinette. With his words, "he's a weak character with cliché psychology" - can't believe it but I agree with Astruc. Felix definitely works on cliché psychology. Ofc it's hilarious cause they write him this way but oh well, their mistake and the fans' blind spot.

Apparently Felix was also too dark and too mean for Marinette but guess that doesn't apply to Kagami 🙃

Anyway, enjoy the food Felix stans 😉

Can someone explain to me Marinette's grand idea of letting Felix keep the peacock?

• Stole all the miraculous, handing them over to the villain. If Gabriel was out for world domination he would've played part in helping him reach his goal and thus basically ending the world

• Terrorized whole Paris, making everyone disappear, something not even the main villain of the show did all 5 seasons long. And he did that in 1 day. He was literally singing a happy song and dancing while spreading fear. If that's not something a maniac villain does

• Kidnapped Kagami and thought it was okay. Only likes her cause she's senti - he's basically racist (granted Marinette probably doesn't know this but we do and every other point should be enough for her not to trust him)

• Bullied Adrien since they were kids, which can go as far as putting camembert under his pillow and sending a hate message to his friends just cause he can, thus invading his privacy on his phone. Pretends to be him just cause he can too ofc for selfish reasons

• If all these weren't bad enough, he ASSAULTED Ladybug just to mess with Adrien. Sure he cares for his cousin : D

• Chances are if he betrayed her once, he might betray her again. Will put nothing past him

• Literally lives in London. Should he fly to Paris every time something's happening?

So why not give back the peacock to Nathalie? She's healthy again, on the good side, she's responsible and trustworthy, she read the Grimoire so knows more about any of the miraculous than anyone on the team, she's an ADULT and granted they seriously need one, she already has experience with the peacock and Duusuu likes her, has combat skills and they're more than impressive (slay queen) and she's smart af. Plus SHE'S RIGHT THERE!!!

Miraculous and the parents dilemma: How is it MLB only seems to present bad parents and barely any healthy families? Like, most of the teen characters have bad parents, on top most are single too so they can't even have at least one good parent they can find comfort in

Adrien: Gabriel isn't exactly "father of the year" and let's not act like Emilie was that holy mother everyone makes her out to be. She never let him exit the mansion either (as an example). Anyway she died so. The grandparents? F*ck you Emil, Millie, don't act like you're better, Johnny and Gabrielle - so far chill but did they really not care how their only son just died recently? Thank you Nathalie for showing how a parent should be

Sublime: Severin is actually chill and supportive (good parent points to him) while Caroline pushes her daughter way too hard. Plus they are divorced and cursed their daughter with this whatever name (how did they get it approved lol?)

Sabrina: Roger is kinda overprotective and he basically lets her daughter get bullied by the one person who she thinks is her friend. Also single parent

Chloe/Zoé: Audrey is basically a narcissist, can't even remember her daughters names, Andre doesn't really give a sh*t about Chloe, his parenting style is "gifts and money are enough", Zoé is basically an affair child. We don't even know her father's name, only that it's a certain Mr. Lee (well, that helps lol)

Luka/Juleka: Anarka and Jagged - not a good mix. Jagged is basically an absent father and too much into the "rock n roll lifestyle", and Anarka doesn't seem to care too much about what's happening in her children's lives

Marinette: Sabine and Tom are completely oblivious to the stalking activities of their daughter or like almost any activity for that matter. Don't even get me started on Tom's parents (Roland, you're in the "f*ck you" club too)

Max: We didn't see too much of his relationship with his mother but she seems chill (only cause she basically has like no screentime). Appears to be single parent too

Alix: Alim, where do I start - huge favoritism problem. Never acknowledges his son, one could say he hates him, while plays favourites with Alix. Also single as it appears

Felix: Colt was definitely a true sunshine. Amelie basically cheers on her son's terrorist acts and manipulates him into stealing the twin rings back from Gabriel (not like him and Adrien are family or anything plus those contain his amoks you beanhead) so yeah, great parenting right there : D

Alya: You know what? Her parents seem to understand parenting duties

Kagami: Tomoe, prime example of abusive and demanding mother. She's so bad, her daughter almost commited s*cide. Single or killed her husband, I'm taking both options into consideration

Mylene: Her mother left her when she was young. Fred actually is a good parent and cares for his daughter but barely appears anyway

So....are the writers allergic to healthy parenting? What do they gain with giving almost all the teens horrible family lives?

At this point I'm writing this out of the memory I have cause I refuse to rewatch MLB cause honestly I don't need that kind of suffering again, I suffered enough

The thinking of Thomas Astruc:

"Season 5's gonna be amazing! I can finally get rid of Chloe, destroy the plot and finally kill off Gabriel's whole character. Yes, this is gonna be fun but what to do with Gabenath? Sadly we gave the fans signs, hm let me think, oh I got it. If we make Gabriel say he never trusted her, only used her this entire time and leave Nathalie to die the Gabenath fandom will definitely be shut down once and for all. Yeah, that's what we gonna do. Also let's make Adrien suffer, it's so much fun. Fans will love it. And the finale will be great!"

Honestly, were the writers of MLB s5 like high or something!? Wtf did they do!? I'm afraid to ask what they plan with the next seasons lol

Anyway....let's just ignore it and live happily in our own headcanons cause at this point the show just became ridiculously overwhelming
