If you don’t get emotional at least once while watching Tangled, you have no heart and this is a scientific fact.

has anyone else noticed that disney’s Atlantis is just g-rated Stargate?
Opens on a flashback
historian/linguist/cartographer rejected for his theory (which is fair, because it’s absurd but then turns out to be right)
was raised by his grandfather (also rejected for his theories)
nerd stereotype (glasses, allergies, clumsy, awkward…)
is recruited by a woman/ old person who reveals that it’s all true!!!
solves translation error
all or most of expedition is military types
encounters strange creatures
tragic backstories revealed
nerd hooks up with native princess/daughter of leader
natives have lost their language/technology, until the nerd white saviors them
military types have secret mission that puts the native population at risk
an even more absurd level of supernatural power appears
princess is captured/killed to be rescued
expedition and natives team up for boss fight
one significant native side character is killed by the bad guys so the expedition can mourn them
nerd guy stays behind to be with princess
they tell everyone that he died
“Atlantis”

This is probably the main reason I miss Stargate SG1 so much.

So I think I found the inspiration for Marinette’s bakery/house!
While researching for a fanfic I’m currently working on, I wanted to see just where Mari’s house is so I could accurately describe locations/distances and things. Her house is supposedly located at 12 Rue Gotlib, 21st arrondissement according to the wiki. 
Both Rue Gotlib and the 21st arrondissement are fictional; Paris only has 20 arrondissements and Rue Gotlib is named after Marcel Gotlib. Alright then, so far there were no real leads.
Then I came across another post on tumblr by @mirabug55 which noted something interesting. They posted an analysis of her house, a part of which noted that it was next to Place de Vosges (which the Park in Miraculous is based off of). It turns out that’s a real place!!

Based on the location of Mari’s house relative to Place de Vosges, I looked at buildings that could possibly be it. And I found one! 
Willy’s Boulangerie (located at 6-8 Rue du Pas de la Mule, according to Google Earth) is a 7-story building located on the corner of a street (with 2 crosswalks leading to it, just like the bakery). It is located, relative to Place de Vosges, exactly where Marinette’s house is and is close enough to walk (a la Gamer, but I’ll get to that later!) even if it isn’t directly adjacent as it is in the show. So not only do the location and architecture match, but the cherry on top is that it actually is a bakery. Just perfect!

When I had spent a good hour doing all this, I reread the Miraculous Wiki page for the bakery and found out…..that the bakery was probably based off Boulangerie du Moulin de la Galette (here on Google street view). *Sigh*. Just as I was convinced, it seemed like all was lost. I read, though, that this was never officially confirmed. It’s a tumblr thread (here) by @miraculeusecoccinelle. I now definitely believe that the exterior was based off of that bakery. I mean, LOOK at it. It’s a perfect match. (when I first saw a picture of it I thought it was located at Disneyland Paris and was an official bakery model lol) The couple that runs it is even mixed French/Asian, just like Tom and Sabine! Japanese is different from Chinese, but when TV rarely shows mixed race couples, it’s close enough to be a bit more than coincidence. It’s located in the 17th arrondissement, which is closer to the fictional 21st, but still far away from Place de Vosges (which is located between the third and fourth). Another detail is that their bakery actually does appear to have a balcony (like Mari’s), while Willy’s doesn’t look like it has one.
So where does this leave my new bakery theory? The Moulin de la Galette definitely meets the physical charachteristics-coloring, font of Boulangerie, and balcony-excepting the corner location (it’s in the middle of a long street) and proximity to Place de Vosges. It’s also surrounded by trees, which is cool, but there aren’t many next to Marinette’s house. Willie’s Boulangerie doesn’t match the physical description as well, but it shares its orientation on the streets and short walk to the Place with her house. 
My best hypothesis is that the creators of the show saw both (or more) bakeries and created a mishmosh of all of them to make Mari’s house-the design of Boulangerie du Moulin de la Galette with a slightly altered location based off of Willie’s. In reality, there isn’t any house that fits that description that close to the Place, but then again we don’t know the geography of the 21st arrondissement ;) .
Now that I’ve gotten that out, I present to you Times Miraculous Was In Place de Vosges.

Qui-gon “feel, don’t think” Jinn training Anakin “I feel like jumping out of this speeder” Skywalker is honestly like, The funniest concept. There is no impulse control. Anakin: “I’m gonna jump off this cliff.” Qui-gon, lighting up a joint: “it’s the will of the force.”

This was suggested months ago, I’m sorry it took me so long. It was extremely painful to draw. This is the sad story of “Roscoe”. Please know that so many dogs suffer the same fate.

Once again, the Academy whores at the service of their pimp, the Capitalist Mouse. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON as a whole deserves more recognition than bs Toy Story. The Oscars are nothing but an effing joke.
Y'all ready to see our dear HTTYD get beat by yet another Disney movie at the oscars??? Cause I sure the fuck am not
