[she-wore-a-crown-and]

My kids are in denial.

[kittynette]

ok but did they really HAVE to play ”in the rain” in the background 😭

[kittysauces]

Chat Noir: They are so cute at this age ☺️

The baby:

[mortalmab]

WHERE DID THE ICE CREAM GO?!???

[classic-storydragon]

Ok, so um, are we gonna ignore the fact that Adrien's room is a mess and that he's clearly self-soothing with video games? What happened between Destruction and Jubilation that he's reduced to that state? He might still be upset over having cataclysmed Monarch, but I have a feeling that there's more than that going on here.

literally going insane over jubilation WTF THEY BOTH WERE IN THAT "GIFT" DREAM SO THEY BOTH KNOW IT WAS WHAT THEY BOTH WANTED AND THEN THEY BOTH LIED TO EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES LIKE, "HAHA JK NO WAY, HAWKMOTH MUSTA DONE SMTH"

[aguinhaac]

Oh well, guess its time to do it huh? Another miraculous review, I Don’t really know what to say at this point, let’s just get this over with

Today we’re going to review the fourth episode of season 5. Jubilation

We start the episode with Marinette doing a walk listening to rock, but then a billboard starts plating the alliance ad… again… breath aguinha... breath…. Astruc, buddy, Pal. COULD YOU PLEASE STOP TO REPEAT YOURSELF? WE KNOW THAT NOW THERE’S THE ALLIENCES, ARE YOU PROUND OF THE ANIMATION OF THE AD OR SOMETHING? STOP IT, I ALREADY MADE THIS JOKE 3 TIMES, MY FOLLOWERS ARE TIRED, SO PLEASE STOP.

Tikki asks why Adrien is in the ad if he isn’t a model anymore, because all kwamis that aren’t Plagg Nooro or Dussu are just morons, wait but if this ad is playing for some time now, wouldn’t they have seen it before? and Tikki would have asked this before wouldn’t she? I really bet Gabriel don’t have money to put this ad in more places, considering it was in a fucking billboard. So Tikki, w h a t ?

Marinette tells Tikki that this was just a digital 3d model of him, wow that must have been expensive, maybe that’s the reason Gabriel couldn’t play the ad more than like, two times.

But that’s just a theory… A GAME THEORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR- sorry

Tikki: you in the other hand are still in love with the real Adrien

Marinette: oh no that’s over, as long as I’m-

Marinette whispers: as long as I’m ladybug, I refuse to be in love with Adrian or anyone else

Aww Marinette, no need to whisper, just scream like you always do, no worries you can always count on plot armor

But I really like Marinette finally trying to develop as a person and just forget about love, she needs to worry about Paris, that’s cool, lets see how long it will last.

Spoiler: it lasted 2 episodes…

We see Mr. Damocles as “the owl” trying to save a kitty, dude haven’t you learned your lesson already back in dark owl? I know he is kind of a moron but that doesn’t make sens- OOH, DON’T TELL ME, DON’T TELL ME HE IS GOING TO BE JUST LIKE ANDRE, NO MR DAMOCLES, NO PLS NO, I DON’T CARE ABOUT U BUT PLEASE, PLEASE THAT IS A ONE-WAY STREET,

Mr. Damocles ends up stuck in an iron bar and his owl mask gets broken, Marinette tries to help him but a copycat Ladybug shows up and saves an old stupid man, yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Turns out, Marinette knows who is the ladybug copycat, a girl called soqcline, soucline? Wait a second.

Ohhh its Socqueline,Thanks google

So, they go to Socqueline mom’s stone, which a craft store

They talk a bit and we find out that Socqueline was a school friend, which sucks at first, like where the hack have you been for 5 seasons young lady? Have you drunk some invisibility tea or something? You weren’t in another city like Felix or Zoe-su SO WHERE THE HACK HAVE YOU BEEN?

Mr. Damocles shows up there to buy a new mask, while that Marinette tries to make Socqueline AHH I CAN’T, I AM NOT FRENCH, I AM NOT EUROPEAN, I DON’T KNOW HOW THE FUCK YOU WRITE THIS GIRL’S NAME AND I AM TIRED TO LOOK ON GOOGLE ALL THE TIME, SO I WILL JUST CALL HER BRITWO OK? SHE IS PRETTY MUCH IT JUST A CHEAP BAD COPY OF MY DARLING BRIDGETTE, THAT DIFERENTLY FROM HER HAS A PRONAUNSABLE NAME.

Marinette tries to make britwo confess she is the ladybug copy, which she struggles with, at first I thought, OK must be hard try to make her confess without saying you are ladybug, BUT WHEN BRITWO WAS SAVING MR. DAMOCLES MARINETTE LITTERALY TELLS “Socqueline?” SO IF YOU ASKED HER IT WOULDN’T REVEAL ANYTHING, THE HECK MARI?

Britwo uses her alliance to check the paint stock

Marinette: wow, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen alliance in person!

Britwo: It’s a life changer, it got everything, wanna try it?

Britwo: just start with the magic words, please alliance, how many steps have I walked today?

AA (Alliance Adrian): you’ve walked 520.32 steps today socqueline, well done

Marinette: wow it’s amazing

Britwo: right? Is like having an Adrian all for yourself! What a dream

Hmm She is a creep, got it.

Marinette: you can hardly tell the difference between this and the real Adrien.

Britwo: YOU KNOW HIM?

Sorry I just need to point this out, how the heck she found out? Just because you say a 3D model looks like the person that doesn’t mean you know him, I’m imagining this girl taking some friends to watch marvel, and then appears a 3D model of idk, iron man and then her friend tells her, wow man that 3D model sure looks like Robert Downey, and then britwo screams out of nowhere: YOU KNOW HIM?

Marinette then starts to tells britwo ALL OF ADRIENS PROBLEMS TO SOMEONE HE NEVER MEET, WHAT A COOL PROTAGONIST, KIDS YOU SHOULD TOTALLY TELL YOUR FRIENDS PROBLEMS TO SOMEONE HE NEVER MEET, THAT’S THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO 👍

BUT THEN, Britwo thinks Adrien and Marinette are together, which Marinette responds saying

Marinette: we’re just friends nothing more, its just like you, you’re just a high school girl who sometimes helps her mom, nothing else right?

Britwo: uh, exactly.

Marinette: just like Mr. Damocles, he is just a principal, right?

Damocles: no, I’m not a principal, I’m a superhero, I MEAN IT’S THE OTHER WAY AROUND

Marinette: well it’s a good thing you are not TRYING TO BE A SUPERHERO, BECAUSE ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DO THE SAME THING THEY DO WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE MAGICAL POWERS OR SUPER SUITS

Britwo: yeah, but what if it is a relief to ladybug to have people to help her

Marinette: no way she would have want that, its too risky

Britwo: yeah, but you gotta know when to step in

Marinette: but in this circumstance it’s ladybug job to take risks and no one else, because if everyone takes risks ladybug may have to take more risks in order to deal with their risks, WHICH IS EVEN RISKER

Damocles: sounds like someone is jealous because she wants to be a superhero

Marinette: I DO NOT, I’M MARINETTE, I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE A NORMAL GIRL WITH A NORMAL LIFE, AND SO SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE

Ok 2 things, being a superhero is hard, you have to deal with more than just the supervillains, you lose your freedom, everyone expects you to be perfect, any mistake you make may have catastrophic consequences and you blame it all on yourself, you gain more traumas than a child in twitter, be a super hero is hard I understand your side Mari. SECOND, I hate Mr Damocles now.

WHAT THE HECK DUDE? FIRST OF WHERE IS YOUR DEVELOPMENT? I LIKED YOUR EPISODE, THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE CAN HELPWITHOUT PUTTING THEMSELVES IN DANGER IS SOMETHING I LOVE, I LOVE DARK OWL, THERE ARE SOME BAD PARTS BUT IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES OF THIS GOD FOR SAKE SHOW, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIS DEVELOPMENT? AND THE PHRASE “lOoKs LiKe sOmEoNe iS jEaLoUs BeCaUsE sHe wAnTs tO bE a sUpErHeRo” FUCK YOU, I shall not call you by your real name anymore, you will now be Mr Damoshit.

Mari uses britwo alliance to find out if she is or not the fake ladybug, save this information, its important, and found out that yes, she really is she impostor, good I don’t have many followers I bet I would get at least one billion sus comments if I were popular,

By the alliance Mari discovers that there’s dino’s attacking the city and transforms to go fight them, with britwo, Mr Damoshit is sad because of what marinette said, really dude? But then Marinette comes back and gives back britwo alliance, saying that she forgot to lock her scooter, but the alliance says that Marinette walked kilometers in just some minutes, but britwo think this is just a bug and life goes on.

With that said Gabriel receives a message from his alliance saying that a teen ran through KILOMETERS in just a couple minutes and that she probably was ladybub

Huh cool Gabriel use the alliances to try catch ladyb- WAIT A MINUTE, IF YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE ALLIENCES, THAT’S THE WAY MARI FOUND OUT ABOUT SOCQUELINE, WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T USE THIS TOO? HE COULD HAVE SAW FROM BRITWO ALIENCE, SEE SHE IS THE FAKE ONE.

BUT THAT WOULD INCLUDE SEEING MARINETTE AS LADYBUG AND HER PLOT ARMOR IS BIGGER THEN THE FUCKING PLANET, SO THE WRITTERS JUST LET THIS PLOT HOLE,

Gabriel transforms and akumatize Mr Damoshit. Into darker owl, stupid name for a stupid character, Monarch tells him that britwo is ladybub and gives him the power of jubilation.

Darker owl Appears at the craft shop which britwo record an audio with alliance, but darker owl just uses his gift in britwo showing her bigger wish, be a real superhero like ladybub and chat noar, takes her earrings but find out that she really isn’t ladybug,

Mari as ladybug shows up and discovers that the akuma is in darker owl’s mask by an audio britwo recorded in her alliance, see how this Socqueline is just a copy of Bridgette, they even copied the super intelligence my darling has, Adrien receives by the alliance a video from darker owl saying that if they don’t give him their miraculous britwo is going to fall in a can of paint and die, you are trying me to like you again by being a charismatic supervillain, but this is not going to work, do something really good and remarkable or your name will forever be Mr Damoshit.

Adrien transforms into chat noir and they both go fight darker owl

Chat noir saves britwo while ladybug just uses her lucky charm, pls mari the only good part of your character was that you always did the work, pls don’t be like Adrien and not just sit your big fat ass and do nothing plssssssssssssss,

The lucky charm is an alarm clock, but before ladybug can think of anything, ladybub sees that chat was going to be caught and go save him, which darker owl uses the gift in them making the biggest, no, one of the biggest shipping fuel I’ve ever seen in my life

The dream is about they defeating monarch and getting married, they show off the super heroes from the around the world specials to remember that those existed and that they were cannon, some chat blanc reference, they have the most DISGUSTING BABIES OF ALL CARTOON HISTORY, NO LOOK AT THAT

I didn’t like steven universe baby designs but Jesus Christ.

But then they discover that this is a dream because of the lucky charm alarm clock, they have a sad moment and kiss, like that scene would have been better if it was after determination and if chat noir/Adrien wasn’t in love with Marinette, the way they put that just doesn’t make much sense

Ladybug wake up and start to beat the shit out of darker owl, chat noir also wakes up and starts to REALLY BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF DARKER OWL, ladybub even had to say for him to slow down

And then…. CHAT NOIR TRIES TO FUCKING CATACLYSM HIM, DUDE, WHAT THE HELL, HE IS HORRIBLE BUT JUST TAKE HIM OUT OF THE SHOW, DON’T FUCKING KILL HIM, THAT’S JUST ABSURDE MAN, OMG HOW IS HE STILL CONSIDARETED A HERO, JESUS CHRIST.

BUT chat decides to don’t kill him and just cataclysms the mask instead. They search for the pig miraculous but find nothing so just give Mr. Damoshit a magical charm,

Britwo apologizes with ladybug and Marinette gives her mom the paints she bought, and her mom gives her a gift, an alliance, but she gives it back because it’s too dangerous.

And then we have a scene where ladybub and chat noar talk about the fight with darker owl. And that’s where the episode ends

Really this episode is hard to give a note, it is the best one so far but yeah. I think Britwo was kinda annoying and kinda of a creep, Marinette wasn’t at her best but she wasn’t at her worst either like yeah that with Adrian's secrets where bad but not the worst she's ever done, chat noir didn’t show up most, he was just there to add some shipping fuel and to make him look bad I guess? No really what was the plan when they made chat almost kill someone? And Mr. Damoshit, do I need to explain myself

That’s kinda of it, I will give this episode a 6/10 its ok

Thanks for seeing see you in the next post

[memories-of-roses]

Jubilation just aired today and as heartbreaking as this episode was, there were just some details about a certain scene (the heartbreaking one where we could have had it all) that bothered me and I couldn't help theorising about it. It may just be an animation error on the show's part but then again Miraculous is a superb show when it comes to intentionally foreshadowing stuff through details such as dialogue, music, symbols, and parallels. My thoughts about it are below the cut, and as a warning there are spoilers about the episode and the synopsis of future episodes.

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

Sooooo I believe that many of us are heartbroken about the dream sequence right? I mean Ladynoir had it all already, the security of Monarch's defeat and the joy of marriage and having children. They also got to relax in an island and share an ice cream together, basking in the sunset. But as beautiful as that scene was, there was something weird about it, which is the icecream.

Before Ladybug realized that they were in a dream, Cat Noir gave her an ice cream. Fittingly, it represents her and Cat Noir, as the ice creams both had chocolate? Nuts? Idk what those were haha, so let's just say those are dark dots. Referring to their hero selves.

The icecream that Ladybug is holding perfectly encapsulates their bliss. Cat Noir loves her and she loves Cat Noir. In this dream where Monarch is defeated she is finally free to love him, as she truly wanted to deep inside. This BOTH of their dreams after all.

It is interesting to note that the even when she realizes that it was all a dream, the icecream is still shown, which I think may drive the point that Ladybug is still allowing herself to show her love for Cat Noir, even if she knows that she is in a dream. This is her heart's deepest desire after all. So she initiates a kiss. But then here is the sad part.

So after Ladybug shows Cat Noir the mini clock and tells him that they were living in a dream all along, Cat Noir drops the icecream and tries to grab/destroy??? the clock. The next time we see the ice cream though is the weird part because while the scoop representing Ladybug definitely still has the dark spots, the mint one doesn't, even though it clearly was supposed to have those dark spots as seen in the earlier pictures. Thus, it no longer symbolized Chat but Adrien. It may be an animation error but it may not really be one, it is a dream after all. If a clock can be a baby why can't the ice cream change.

My take on it is that the fallen ice cream marks the point of when Adrien/Cat Noir has truly given up on Ladybug and when Marinette has started to give up on Adrien. Cat Noir, after realizing that his perfect life is just a dream drops the ice cream. He is so hurt by what he has to lose. Thus unconcsiously, him giving up on Ladybug may be a way for him to protect himself and his already battered and wounded heart as what he just experienced is downright traumatizing. He may have believed that that reality can only really be a dream and will never happen so he must no longer cling to it. This is solidified by Ladybug saying to him that the dream might have just been Monarch manipulating them, solidifying the impossibility of the dream. Ah such heartbreak.

For Ladybug/Marinette, I believe the opposite is true. Finally, she is the one who wilingly initiates a consensual kiss, one that is filled with all their love and longing. What is interesting is that directly after they kiss, the fallen ice cream is shown. Thus this marks Ladybug embracing her feelings for Cat Noir, even if it is only in a dream. Unconciously, the dropped ice cream may represent Marinette in a way letting go of her feelings for Adrien (or atleast putting it in the backburner) and focusing on the boy in front of her, the one she is showing her love to by kissing.

This scene is also huge because it paralleled the other pivotal lovesquare scenes. In this scene, "In the rain" which was the song that played during the first umbrella scene played, and while they were kissing it also started to rain. The only other time that this happened is in Origins so this is HUGE. Thus the symbolism of the ice cream, as well as the ending part of the dream sequence may mark the official reversal of the love square symbollically speaking. This also happened during a sunset which signifies a change in their relationship, so this kinda checks out. If this is the truly the case, then it perfectly fits as a foundation for the next episodes. According to the synopsis for future episodes, Adrien will give up on his love for Ladybug and change targets, which is Marinette. On the other hand, Marinette finally comes to terms with the revelation that she has feelings for Cat Noir.

So yeeaaaahhh the next episodes will be very exciting, especially when it comes to the lovesquare's development, both in their selves and as a couple.

[yoshimickster]

Yeah Marinette, call Ms Bustier OUT. There's a fine line between being forgiving and just straight up enabling. Adrien figured that out for himself, and he's FOURTEEN!

[loreleiv3]

Honestly I can't process jubilation , can't form any opinions about this episode , can't even tell what exactly happened in it. I just saw these ugly ass babies and it took me out from the rest of the episode.

If you ask me what happened in jubilation

Babies happened , these wierd babies happened

Edit : I just realized this picture has no quality but whatever

[vile-wizard]

Guys. The ladynoir babies had to look like haunted cabbage patch dolls bc they didn't want to give 2 kids (who don't age visibly in the gift dream) realistic looking babies to take care of.

[star-ocean-peahen]

Does anybody know where I can watch the English dub of Jubilation?? I missed the airing and can't find it anywhere else.

[chaotic-succulents]

Has anyone done fan art of the dream sequence in Jubilation where Ladybug and Chat Noir aged up as the dream went on? I will probably make some but like, if its out there I would like to see it.

[trashart00]

The streets are saying the special takes place on Strike Back-Evolution-Multiplication-Destruction night

Transcribed because handwriting:

Claw: Aw look, it’s the sad, pathetic, wet cardboard version of me

Chat: I cataclysmed a man

Chat: And I would do it again

Chat: The darkness consumes me…

Chat: Just as my cataclysm consumes him

LB: we’ve had a day

[buggachat]

they both lost the kids in the divorce
