y’all love the morally gray, snarky, grief stricken characters until it’s a woman. i’ve seen so much discourse regarding female characters who display the exact same character traits as male leads and are criticized for it while the men are praised. let women be cruel and vindictive. let them deal with their grief and trauma in destructive ways. let them be real. give them the same treatment you would give to your favorite male love interest.

because im really impatient here’s the first page of the comic

Page 1 / 2&3

i’ll post the other two together… probably.

i coloured this really weirdly. Like i can’t even begin to describe wtf i did

inspired by the great and powerful @buggachat’s vampire au. Not trying to relate it to the story of that au, this is just a mini comic with a dumb punch line coming

Sometimes you like a ship just because of the color palette

if you make that female character less goth as a sign of her ~healing~ or ~improving her life~ I will kill you

make her MORE gloriously dark and over-the-top. she's growing into herself. she's getting comfortable being who she wants to be. do you see the vision. I am crying and throwing things

I've recently started seeing people bring up Gabriel's "redemption" as a counter for Chole criticism, and I just have to wonder, did some of you people watch the show with your eyes closed???

I'll be transparent and say off the bat here that I have yet to watch season 5, but I have seen the London special and all the season 6 episodes that are currently released, and even I can tell that what happened in the final battle was NOT Gabriel being redeemed.

In almost every season 6 episode that's released so far has made it VERY clear that Marinette shouldn't have lied and said Gabriel was a hero, because he WASN'T a hero. They're only painting Gabriel as a hero right now to show how much Ladybug's lie has affected the public view of him, changing how he really was into an idealize and fake version of him and causing internal conflict for Adrien, who now has to live with the knowledge that his father was abusive but can't acknowledge that because his dad is now seen as a "hero" of Paris and he doesn't want to ruin that for everyone else. He wasn't a hero and Marinette shouldn't have lied and said he was one, because now when the truth about him being Hawkmoth/Monarch comes out it's going to be 10x worse than it would have been otherwise.

You could even go as far as to say they're drawing parallels between Gabriel and the parents of other miraculous holders. Ivan's dad is a villain, Nath's mom is controlling, don't these things sound familiar? Neither of them are treated like good people, and neither should Gabriel, because the whole point is that he ISN'T redeemed and he WASN'T a good person or dad and Ladybug shouldn't have lied and said he was.

Please. Please. Please. Go gain media literacy. I cannot keep seeing these dumbass takes.
