Not really directed at anything specifically, more just based on things I’ve heard from friends and what they say others are talking about. Just needed to get this off my chest.
So... “Syren” airs, and Chat Noir gets upset by a secret that is neither Plagg’s nor Ladybug’s to tell. Both the fandom and the show/writers think he is right for doing this, even as he threatens to quit while Paris drowns if not told the secret. He is ultimately rewarded in the end with the secret because, according to one of the writers, “Chat was correct and deserved to know.”
Later down the line, “Truth” gets a synopsis.
It hasn’t aired, it simply gets a synopsis (I must also add that a previous synopsis in the same season had been wrong).
Based on said synopsis, the fandom gets riled up about Luka supposedly being upset by a secret Marinette is keeping (her identity), going on about how he “doesn’t have a right to Marinette’s secret,” “is being extremely entitled,” and “doesn’t deserve to know Marinette’s identity,” as it is “Marinette’s right” to tell whoever she wants.
In truth, the actual episode features Luka struggling and fighting against the akuma, because he actually believes that he is not, in fact, entitled to Marinette’s secret, wanting her to share it rather than it being forced out of her. He is then “punished” for this when the show has the couple break up due to Marinette believing that she’s not allowed to have a boyfriend, all thanks to her secrets. Nevertheless, Luka maintains his previous stance and wants Marinette to tell him things whenever she’s ready to do so.
“Gang of Secrets” airs two episodes later, featuring the exact opposite philosophy. Over the phone, Marinette’s friends claim that they want her to talk with them when she’s ready, only to barrel into her room minutes later and insist that she talk to them. She refuses, kicking them out, and they get akumatized without resistance in order to force her to tell them her secret. After the fact, without so much as an on-screen apology from them, Marinette folds and talks about (some of) her problems. This also features another “whenever you’re ready” from Alix that may or may not be a simple joke given how the group laughs at it. Once all but Alya and Marinette are left in the room, Marinette has a mental breakdown and gives Alya her most precious secret: her identity as Ladybug.
Upon this episode airing, the fandom is upset at Marinette, not for telling her secret, but for not telling Chat Noir her secret instead of Alya, because Chat deserved her secret. This is also after “Chat Blanc,” where Marinette is aware that “her love with Chat” and Chat knowing her identity nearly led to the end of the world, and it is later confirmed in “Sentibubbler” that Marinette has actual trauma over the moment, never made aware of the specific mistake Chat made (i.e: keeping his knowledge of her identity a secret) that caused the issue in the first place, thus leaving her with all of the blame as the timeline is scrubbed away and Adrien is left with no actual lesson, even from Bunnix who could’ve chided him for his priority on love over safety. Chat received no consequences for this (not remembering his time as an akuma) and was even rewarded for his erased-from-time decisions as Ladybug laid her head on his shoulder, happy to have him back after the nightmare she’d lived where everyone was dead because her partner prioritized dating her over telling her that he knew her identity, despite her repeated stressing that no one must know.
(”Glaciator” also follows this formula, forcing Ladybug to apologize first and then having her blush when Chat kisses her cheek after he’d put up a huff mid-battle, while Marinette is blamed both for Andre’s akumatization and not going to a date that she didn’t promise to go to.)
Cut to some time later, when “Crocoduel” airs. Marinette, believing that she only causes problems for Luka and that he would rather be away from his own birthday party than be around the girl who “broke his heart” and “got him akumatized twice” (the first time being Silencer, something that apparently she, Alya, and the show blame her for), asks Juleka in private to make sure Luka isn’t present at the party. She later apologizes for this, admitting that she was unreasonable in her request.
The fandom proceeds to go off on Marinette, stating that she is selfish and that Luka “deserves better.” This is in direct contrast to episodes that feature Marinette/Ladybug apparently slighting Adrien/Chat (according to the fandom), where rejection is not wished on the ship itself, but rather a desire that Marinette/Ladybug apologize to Adrien/Chat and repent for her sins so that he can be happy and they can get together.
Interestingly enough, complete radio silence is given on the friends who had forced Marinette to go to the event in the first place (and also had supposed “whenever you’re ready” development in “Gang of Secrets”), not consulting with Luka on the matter nor considering what either would want, and only asking for Juleka’s permission in what is essentially an afterthought (having made plans without her input first). This is made doubly “interesting” by the fact that the action of said friends is what leads to the supposed “end of Lukanette,” with them officially confirming becoming friends.
Finally, cut to the most recent episode (at the time of writing this), “Wishmaker.” In this episode, through two different instances of Second Chance, Luka discovers the identities of both Ladybug and Chat Noir, shocked and later saddened by both revelations. When asked by Ladybug, he makes the decision to not tell her that he knows anything, though the current reason for this is unknown.
The fandom, once again, goes up in arms. They are upset by Luka’s lie (to a hero who he now knows is extremely stressed about her future and needs little else to worry about) regardless of whatever the reason may or may not be revealed to be. This is a far cry from the “golden boy” Adrien Agreste, who has not only lied (whether by omission or otherwise) on multiple occasions (”Copycat,” “Miraculous New York,” and “Chat Blanc”), but when Ladybug’s identity was put into his hands (the hands of a permanent hero who has one of the two exact miraculouses wanted by Hawk Moth), he chose not to say anything so he could date her.
Neither had a magical charm to protect them while one of them had a rabbit hero to erase his actions as if that removes what he would’ve done if given the chance, while Ladybug is left with the guilt and trauma. Both were told that identities are precious, and one lies for reasons riddled with ambiguity while the other lies in order to date the person who has already rejected one side of himself. One is a “threat” to the endgame ship and is either sympathized with or criticized depending on what will make his own ship look worse (and whose likeability seems to coincide by how “threatening” he is and what importance he receives in comparison to his “competition”), while the other is part of the endgame ship and is treated accordingly by the show and fanbase, his actions defended and validated while the blame falls on the other side of his ship.
In the end, Marinette and Luka are dealt an equally bad hand, and both are dealing with consequences of Adrien’s actions. Adrien had gotten to peacefully date “Ladybug” in a removed timeline because he selfishly kept a secret (and, again, was ultimately rewarded for it), while Marinette suffered dating Luka because she selflessly kept a secret (leading to him being akuamtized and her to nearly have a mental breakdown). Luka, meanwhile, who has had a track record of being incredibly selfless and having a history of always keeping Marinette’s feelings/best interests in mind, now knows both Ladybug and Chat Noir’s identities, and the latter being because Chat Noir let himself get hit by the akuma’s powers in the first place.
Yet it’s Luka who gets heat, and Marinette who gets heat, while Adrien isn’t even so much as on the back burner.
Isn’t history fun?

KAREN (part 2) (P.Parker x Reader )
Here it is people part two! I tried to make it as Fluffy as possible but it looked really impossible. But I hope you guys like this.
After what happened at the vault, you began to try and hang around more with Peter and Ned. You manage to balance your time. You were finished fixing the voice command for the suit. All you need to do was to install it on the suit but you needed the suit in your possesion to be able to install it.
" ughh. . . How am I gonna install it? " you said as you rubbed your face with both hands and muffled a groan.
You heard a familiar alarm beep. You immidiately rolled to turned and activated the holo screens as you placed the mic. Peter was putting on the suit.
( Time Skip. Sorry I don't know what actually happened at the boat scene fully so yeah. I haven't watch the movie yet but I am planning on watching it on youbtube. )
The incident on the boat technically was getting to Peter. He took of his mask before you could ask if he was ok. You watch him from the monitos as he sat on the edge.
" Oh Peter . . . " you mumbled.
Few moments later as you watch, Your dad arrived and began scolding the poor boy at fault. You couldn't do anything just watch as Peter said he was sorry. It angered you. The way your father thinks he is a good person.
" Ok, I think I'm gonna need the suit back. " Tony said as your eyes widen. Peter begged him not to.
" No. Please, I'm nothing without this suit. "he begged as Tony reasoned out with him again. You were had a frown as you watched the two. You wanted to comfort Peter but you can't.
Tony got home as he was greeted with a frowning you.
" Is there something wrong Sweetie? " he asked as you just called for Friday who showed a video to Tony behind you while the glare didn't leave your space. Tony gave a " uh oh " look.
" You were there? Sweetie its not nice to earsdropping in a conversation.
" don't give me that crap dad! I understand what Peter did was kinda suicide but he atleast tried to help! " you argued as Tony just walked away from you.
" I don't wanna talk about this, Y/n. "
" Dad! Don't walk away from me! Peter is right You never ever listen! Dad this is why I went to Steve's side on Germany. Dad, you maybe smart but you are still Human! Do you know how much mom worries for you when you fight evil things in the city? God! Dad please! Peter didn't mean that to happen! You are not a God! You can't stop death, you may lessen it but you are risking something. For Pete's sake Dad! I need you alive! We need you! Do you know how much Peter wants to be like you? Dad, he even wanted to be your son?! His parent died in his early age but that didn't cause him to rebel and learn to be good. You dad I Love you but sometimes I wished you weren't my dad. I can't always live up to your expectations on me cause once I fail you would disown me! " you cried as your tears fell.
" Y/n, I would never disown you- when did I- " " When I lost the world robotics contest when I was 7, you shut me out!! It took a year before you even started to talk to me again. I can't take this anymore! I'm gonna say it! I Hate You so much! " you cut him off as you dashed out of the livng room as Tony called your name. You ran to your room and changed into some jeans and sweater. You ran out of the Avengers Tower and took a cab.
You bought some ice cream and chips on your way. You now stood infront of the Parker's apartment door. You took a deep breath and knocked. A few moments the door opened.
" Oh Y/n? What are you doing here? " Aunt May asked as she opened the door. You sent her a warm greeting. " um I came to visit Peter. Is he home? " you asked. May gave you as sad nod, she knew something happened. She let you enter as she walked you to Peter's door.
" I'll leave everything to you Y/n. Thank you for coming. " May thanked with a sad smile and gave you a small hug before leaving.
You looked at the door for a solid 5 minutes before a knock.
" I not hungry aunt may. " you heard the sadness in his tone behind the doors.
" Actually, its Y/n. I came for the Star Wars Death Star lego model that Ned gave you to hide. " you lied. A few moments before sounds of foot steps made its way to the door as it opened to reveal to you a red eyes Peter. You gave him a sad smile.
" What is it? I know Ned didn't left the model here. " he asked a little straight as he looked at you in a very lifeless pair of eyes.
" Can't I just visit my Best friend? I bought Ice Cream on the way. " you teased as you lifted the white 7/11 plastic that had the gallon of Ice Cream. He sent you a sad smile as he fully opened the door a signed that you are free to enter.
" Here it comes! " you joked as You looked at the laptop screen. Peter was constantly laughing as you got off his bed and hugged one pole of his double deck.
" No Luke. I am Your Father! " Darth Vader confessed at the scene at the laptop as Peter turned his gaze from the screen to your form as you imitated Luke's signature act.
" No! . . . Thats not true! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! " you a screamed in a very squeaky and low voice so you wouldn't wake any neighbors. Peter just laughed at you for a good twenty minutes which you didn't really mind as long as you can keep him from crying.
" Had enough yet? " you smirked as you looked down at Peter who was holding his stomach in pain as a few laughs came out of his lips. " No more please ahah- no more - I'm ok now. Hah" he laughed out as you giggled as sat beside him in his bed. You both leaned in the wall as you two stayed silent. You saw Peter's eyes dropping in tiredness and drowsiness, which you found extremely cute because he was rubbing his eyes like a child as he yawned.
You did something that you didn't even bother thinking of the consequences. Peter felt your hand hold shoulder and head circle him as he felt you pull him against you.
His breath hitched as he felt his head resting on you below shoulders and on your chest he felt your grip tighten as he looked up at you. You had your eyes close and your smile placed on your lips.
Peter thanked God that it was dark inside the room because his cheeks just exploded red as heat radiated on them. Your hugs never felt so warm to Peter. He gave into his urge to encircle his arms on you hips graspinf your frame into a hug. You smiled as the warmth. The drowsiness didn't seem to make your mind work.
" Thanks Y/n. I really needed this. " he said as he smiled and hid his face on your neck taking in your scent. You were practically spooning him and you are the big spoon at the moment.
" Any time Parker. " you cooed and placed a kiss on his head.
That was when he finally concluded he was now in larb with you 70%.
The End or Part Three?
