So just to recap: Aizawa

1. Buys ugly clothes for his daughter

2. Is subsequently forbidden (presumably by his husband) from buying her anymore gifts

3. So his workaround for that is to send his son to get things for her instead

Ghost Jam 2023 Results!

Hey folks! Ghost Jam 2023 has concluded, and now it’s time to share the results! We have, once again, had a rather large turnout, so buckle up for a long post!

This year we had 25 submissions by 31 different developers. That’s 2 more submissions than last year!

Of those submissions, 6 of them were made in the first 72 hours of the jam, qualifying for our 72 hour challenge. 3 of those were even done within the first 24 hours!? That’s a first!

13 of the ghosts were made from scratch/just a single template, with no other pre-made assets, qualifying for our New Assets Only challenge!

Additionally, this year we saw a little more variety in the languages, both spoken language and coding language, used to make the ghosts! One ghost was submitted in Japanese, and another in Russian and Belarusian!

As far as coding languages go, most English ghosts use a language called YAYA (or sometimes the older version, AYA), but we had one entry in Satori, and one in Kawari!

Of the participants in the event, 20 of them were participating in a ghost jam for the first time, and 15 of them released their first ghost as a part of the jam!

Harder to quantify with stats, but still very interesting to note, was the great variety in ghosts that we saw this year! There are a lot of really creative entries that deviate from the standard ghost style. Some are desktop buds, some are focused on a single concept, some pull you into the character’s world, and some are entire games! Give them all a try, there’s a lot of cool stuff here!

With all of that out of the way, let’s see the ghosts! As mentioned, it’s a long post, so check under the cut for the listing!

I was trying to get better at line work, and this happened. Help.

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

In Kuro neko lb said "cat noir is my partner like any other" and that raised a question in my mind : does she know the meaning of "partner"? Because the term partner isn't simply someone who do the same job/work as you, partnership means equal both in saying or making decision and there's nothing equal between cat noir and the other temp heroes since he's a permanent holder. Not even cat noir is an equal for lb, Alya is.

First off, Ladybug said that to a TV reporter who had just asked her why Chat Noir had missed multiple fights:

Clara: (from TV) By the way, where's Cat Noir? You've saved Paris without him quite a few times recently. Are you two at odds with each other? Carapace, Pegasus, Vesperia and Pigella: (from TV) Pound it! Ladybug: (from TV) Of course not, it's just that... umm, he's a partner like any other! The most important is to pick the best superheroes for each mission, with or without Cat Noir. No matter what, we've got a great team and we'll always be here to save Paris.

So I would not read into this statement and treat it as some big declaration. It's honestly a little embarrassing that Adrien read into this statement like that because he's a public figure who should be well aware of the concepts of "controlling the press" and "protecting your public image." This is PR 101. In fact, I've written stuff where Chat Noir is the one who coaches Ladybug on this stuff. A thing I really wish canon would have done because it's a natural thing for Adrien to know and a good way to let them bond without giving away anything too personally identifying (a concept canon takes way too far in Kuro Neko. They can't even know if they have siblings? Really? Paris is a city of 2 million, not 200.)

Outside of that, the show has never used "partner" to mean equals because they've been using the term since season one and Chat Noir has never had equal responsibility or importance (which worked in season one, but set the show up for failure). To be fair, the term doesn't have to mean equals otherwise "equal partnership" would be redundant even though it is a common turn of phrase. "Partners" can just mean two people who work together towards a common goal even if the load of work is uneven, which is what Ladybug and Chat Noir are and, sadly, have pretty much always been. At the very least, that's what they've been since season two introduced the temp heroes and decided to turn Marinette into Fu's apprentice without giving Adrien any sort of narrative upgrade like a clearer motive.

I'd also disagree that Alya is an equal partner. Alya knows more and has an actual role on the team beyond the generic role of "teammate," but she's not Marinette's equal by any means. Marinette is still the clear leader and the one who makes all the calls that Alya then follows. In fact, when Alya makes her own calls, the narrative tends to punish her for it like with the whole sentiNino thing.

I get why you find Ladybug's use of the term annoying, most people hear "partners" in the context of people and assume an equal partnership, but unequal partnership is how the show has chosen to define partnership and we're just kinda stuck with it. This isn't a Marinette issue. It's a writing one.
