This right here is still the greatest evidence of what the endgame ships are. Like genuinely...you don't need anything else

I completely missed the parallels in s4 between el and max, especially in episode 1

- theyre both struggling with grief and loss of a family member who they had mixed feelings about. billy had been paralleled to max's stepdad, and hopper had been compared to brenner. they're both girls who have grown up in violent and controlling environments, but we see them bond in season 3 as each others' only female friends amongst the nerds. they get to have fun being girls together and el grows massively as a person for it

then in season 4 she's immediately tossed into the deep end as soon as she was trying to find a sense of self. we don't see max's mom, but we hear that she drinks, and we see joyce also having wine and being sad, not that this is ever shown to affect her parenting. but max and el are both incredibly lost at this point in the absence of each others' only true friend, and they both become withdrawn from the people around them in trying to act like everything is fine - el trying not to show will when she's upset, and max trying not to show lucas that she's seeing things, and being defensive to the rest of the party.

in s4e1 we see el getting mocked in her presentation while max is walking out of the counsellor's, both in positions of vulnerability trying to move very fast and get away from the past which is clearly haunting them (and they're both talking about the past and the specific trauma they're dealing with in the scenes prior) and failing to.

they're also both being pursued by vecna, which i feel is likely intentional on his part because he can read max's mind and knows he can use killing her to break down eleven.

and max is also so relieved when el finally comes to save her, from vecna but also from everything he is bringing up - el's intervention is as a hero but also as emotional support after max has been so isolated and alone in her feelings for so long, and we never really get to see her and el bond over their mutual grief before she moves away, nor exchange letters about feeling each others' absence.

it would be nice if in season 5 we get a reunion from them that explores some of that in their relationship as it develops, if they decide to bring max back.

i also think it's noteworthy that el and will and max and mike are also kind of parallel characters? mike and max have a lot of sassiness & sark and strength in character for standing up for the people they love & their friends, and a lot of their feud comes from being the same kind of defensive bitch (especially of eleven) and bickering cos they're just the same person? and even in terms of like gender nonconformity, max is a masculine girl while mike is not necessarily effeminate but by being the weedy gay autistic phenotype is kind of inherently gnc.

and el and will are both the sensitive, impressionable counterpart who they fight for, who've also both come from violent backgrounds, experienced a load of trauma pertaining to the same one guy, have the same terrible fringe and cry and have ptsd episodes a lot.

which i think is relevant because for both will and mike and el and max, that separation really strains on all of them, and when they come back together they realise just how much they missed each other.

in conclusion elmax byler supremacy

A felinette essay.

Miraculous Ladybug is a series known for its intricate storytelling, character dynamics, and subtle foreshadowing. While the central romantic tension has long revolved around Marinette (Ladybug) and Adrien (Cat Noir however certain clues show that Felix, Adrien’s cousin, will end up with Marinette. This essay explores these hints, focusing on character development, narrative parallels, and thematic elements.

Felix starts as an antagonistic character, often manipulative and self-serving, but his development in later seasons reveals a deeper, more empathetic side. His actions, such as protecting Marinette from akumatization in "Gabriel Agreste" and his eventual rebellion against his uncle Gabriel’s control, align him more closely with Marinette’s values of justice and independence. This redemption arc mirrors Adrien’s own growth but with a darker, more rebellious edge, creating a dynamic that could complement Marinette’s strong-willed personality. Their shared determination to defy Gabriel’s tyranny hints at a potential for a deeper connection.

The series often draws parallels between Felix and Marinette, emphasizing their similarities. Both are highly resourceful, quick-thinking, and willing to bend rules for the greater good. Felix’s cunning as Argos mirrors Marinette’s strategic brilliance as Ladybug. In "Emotion," Felix’s creation of a perfect world without Gabriel’s influence echoes Marinette’s desire to protect her loved ones, even if their methods differ. These parallels suggest compatibility, as both characters understand the weight of responsibility and the sacrifices it entails.

Felix’s interactions with Marinette are layered with intrigue. Unlike Adrien, who was oblivious to Marinette’s feelings, Felix notices her immediately. In "Felix," he impersonates Adrien and flirts with Marinette, showing an awareness of her emotions. While his initial intentions are deceptive, his later actions—such as returning the Miraculous to her in "Strikeback"—indicate respect for her role as Guardian. This shift from manipulation to alliance suggests Felix sees Marinette as an equal, a foundation for a potential romantic connection.

Miraculous Ladybug frequently explores themes of duality and balance, especially in romantic pairings. Adrien and Marinette’s relationship is rooted in their hero identities, but their civilian dynamic is often uneven due to Adrien’s passivity and Marinette’s anxiety. Felix, however, challenges Marinette in ways Adrien does not. His rebellious nature contrasts with her rule-following tendencies, creating a balance that could push both characters to grow. This dynamic aligns with the show’s emphasis on complementary partnerships, hinting that Felix and Marinette could form a compelling, balanced pair.

The series drops subtle clues that foreshadow a Felix-Marinette pairing. For example, Felix’s connection to the Peacock Miraculous, which represents emotion and creation, parallels Marinette’s role as the Ladybug Miraculous holder, tied to creation and order. Their shared connection to the Miraculous lore—Felix’s knowledge of the Sentimonster theory and Marinette’s guardianship—positions them as potential allies in unraveling the story’s mysteries. Additionally, Felix’s growing presence in the narrative, especially in Season 5, suggests the writers are building toward a significant role for him, possibly in Marinette’s romantic arc.

While Adrien and Marinette’s romance remains central, Miraculous Ladybug plants seeds for a Felix-Marinette connection through character parallels, thematic resonance, and evolving interactions. Felix’s redemption arc shared values with Marinette, and the show’s love for subverting expectations creates a compelling case for their pairing.

lol the oposite of my other post

A lot of endgame shippers, and shippers in general, get their dopamine rush not from actually enjoying their ships, but from harassing people who don’t ship their preferences. All they do is leech off the hard work of artist and writers in their communities and don’t contribute nothing of value in return. They’re not creators, not thinkers, and certainly not builders of community. They are purely consumers, people who take and take without ever giving back, except in the form of unnecessary hostility.

Instead of worrying about the content that exists for their ship, they fixate on starting fights, harassing others, and attempting to control how other people express their love for their ships. They think their ship’s canonicity gives them a sense of superiority, but canon has never stopped fandom spaces from thriving with alternative ideas, and it never will. They’re nothing more than leeches, feeding off what others create while draining the joy, the freedom and the creativity from the spaces they invade.

They’re not the gatekeepers of fandom or creativity; they’re just loud, directionless, and entirely incapable of building anything of their own. The only thing they add to fandom culture is unnecessary toxicity, which everyone could do without.

ALL MY ENDGAMES ARE NOT ENDGAMING THIS YEAR I HATE IT HERE

[elenasalvatore1]

Huh, how could anyone not like Harry and Ginny as a couple? i can answer… people can dislike them snd there are a lot of reasons for it.

I'll tell you more, I hate this ship ( I read books, and I hate it even more). And I think that's probably the worst thing Rowling has done to the entire series.

Ginny Weasley is a fan and a stalker, she never stopped being one. As she had perfectly stated to Harry, she had never given up on him. And she liked him so much because of his desire to fight against Volandemort.

She's rude, ill-mannered, and uses people for her own selfish aims and bullies people to show how fantastic she is.

It's so funny to hear that she understands Harry. Wake up, take off your pro-Ginny glasses and think critically for a minute! She said herself that it wasn't her memory lapses that she was carrying a diary! She doesn't remember anything.

Besides, her obsession with the diary is not the same as Harry being a Horcrux. If you look at it , then ONLY NAGAINA could understand him in this regard . Then, what the hell is with this injury. It seems that Ginny's injury is being elevated to some kind of absolute. It doesn't matter that Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville went through much more.

Only Neville understands what it means to lose his parents in the war, only Snape understands what it means to be unloved by a family, Sirius understands what it means to be lied to, Luna understands what it means to see death and be different. Hermione understands what it means to be betrayed by a friend, left alone without any help, without hope for success, to freeze and starve.

HARRY SHOULD MARRY EACH OF THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE SIMILAR INJURIES?!

It's very funny how some people in the fandom try to exalt Ginny Weasley in order to somehow add points to her as "Harry's girlfriend."

In fact, Ginny has no idea what Harry went through at all. She suffered no more than the others at Hogwarts. Far from being a prisoner at the Manor (only Marilyn knows what the Death Eaters did to Luna), she wasn't tortured by Bella Cruciatus, she wasn't involved in the horcrux hunt. And by exalting your red-haired heroine, you're just insulting those who have really been through hell. Ginny always had a supportive family, who had taken care of her. Even in battle, she acts like a child. A jealous and spoiled child. Impulsive, rude, jealous childish Ginny Weasley is the last thing Harry Potter needs.

Seriously how could anyone not like Harry and Ginny as a couple? They’ve both been mentally violated by Voldemort; they’re the only two people who can truly understand each other’s trauma and give each other a level of support that nobody else can, as they heal and recover. They belong together. Hinny deserved to be endgame.

i’m all for my ships to be endgame but it doesn’t necessarily mean i want them to be more than i just need them to happen and in some way have confirmation or some closure

I was going through Arcane frame by frame and found these. Had fun drawing.

Fun fact (not): Everyone whose form Leblanc was taking are dead.

Jancy, Byler, Rovickie, Jopper, and Lumax are endgame ships. Will not be taking arguments, thank you.

I think it’d be really funny if after they got together, Charles made tons of jokes about Edwin’s horribly timed confession.

Charles: makes an inappropriate joke

Edwin: Time and place, Charles.

Charles: Oh you wanna talk about TIMES and PLACES??
