Some human Jax.

[verreerrant]

this was episode 5, no?

[verreerrant]

I don't know if I think Jax's misogyny is more interesting story-wise as a trans man whose hate for femineity comes from inside, from his own self-hatred. Or as a cis man whose hatred for femineity is from the outside, deeply rooted in societies pressure on men and distaste of women. I do know that trauma is involved though.

Its my turn to Rant!!

Ragatha rant time babyyee. Ep5 spoilers

So Ragatha is socially incompetent. Not awkward but fully on she does not know how to act around people, much less of how act like herself around people. We've seen a bit of it in earlier episodes with her brushing off her feelings, others feelings, and actions done by others as well.

But it's glaring in this episode. Right away she tries to comfort Pomni, since the jester looks miserable, but then walks off with Kinger when she doesn't get a response. Jax recognizes that and comments. She does that a lot with Gangle, bare minimum to check in, more to sooth herself, before continuing to try and make herself feel better (ie. Argue with Jax, help Kinger).

She cannot read a room guys. Jax and Pomni are talking under the stars, she walks over, and instantly starts with the usual tango her and Jax have, not waiting to see that it's a bit more somber and notice his tone. When Pomni asks Jax a question Ragatha answers for him, then realized she did something wrong, only after she saw he glaring, then apologizes. I do think she actually felt really bad about this, she is definitely one of the more expensive of the bunch.

Later, at the bar, they talk about jobs, Gangle touches about about her school life. Ragatha starts to overshare trauma, stops herself when she sees the others looking at her (she never finished listing off her issues), then tries to tangent into humour, it goes very badly.

look how uncomfortable she looks, she does not know how to breath in even casual social interacts. And that's the thing, she is the only one that we haven't seen casual interacts with. She only is there to try to be positive, argue, or listen to the others. We rarely see her actually try and Talk with someone other than Kinger.

Softball. This is a big one for her. Pomni tries to talk to her a give her a pep talk. Ragatha DOES NOT WANT THIS TALK look at her face-

shes irritated and brushes off Pomni. She doesn't believe that any thing that she isn't doing will work. Then her and Jax argue and she riles up easily, takes Pomni's words extremely literally then uses that as her excuse.

She may have done it to prove to herself that changing and being negative doesn't work. Do exactly what jester said in the most heavy handed way then throw it out as not something she should be. She walks off, then avoids that and changes topics to the game. When Pomni returns, Ragath looks scared at first (probably the earlier mentioned abuse reaction)

She doubles checks with Pomni, then accepts. Since she really does feel the need to prove herself and she has spent the entire day failing at talking to people. But she has faith that she can do softball. Then she doesn't get to do that

That was her chance to show Pomni she was "good" instead Pomni is not paying attention, she didn't get to hit the ball, and she is still angry. And then we get those three seconds of silence.

Like. Damn okay, she's really upset. Even after Kinger and the others congratulate her she still looks to Pomni and is upset about the casual time her and Jax are having. That this either day Jax has been feral, and is being rewarded for it, but she has been trying hard to do something, and is now alone.

And at the end, she doesn't try to solve her own feelings, she gives up and moves on. There's a lot more to it that I'm sure others can explain better but bottom line is. Ragatha does not understand how to act around people since she isn't very emotionally intelligent, she's just desperately trying to be. Obviously she is affected by past abuse and that frames how she handles interactions with others, she is very much aware and against what her mother did, and now she's overcorrecting and still not healing.

Ah yes the same dysfunctional co dependency, but with a color swap and somehow more complicated feelings.

[verreerrant]

when you what to start a new story but you cant find a good way for it to start. But then you're so exited that every time you think of something you go feral for a few seconds before calming down. Then you're just thinking about it for ever since it is both eternally amazing but not good enough to put into reality.

Happy Pride Month!

Adrien being a baby gay makes me giggle, while Marinette has been going since she came out in high school. Her parents are totally in the back ground giving free hugs and themed pastries.

[verreerrant]

Investing; my doomed yuri

[verreerrant]

They're here!!! I am very happy with how these turned out! I'm still working out everyone's human designs but who needs those?

Still figuring out Monarch's wing design. Also, he only goes by Monarch, never gets a powerup in my AU.

Mayura... I am looking respectfully, but also, damn.

No one is ready for these two. They are the moment.

" Two sides of the same coin. But I'm not the same coin, I am two coins cleaved apart and welded together. Coins of different value and currency. Placed the the hands of a king to be collected by a tyrant. I am gold but still managed to rust."

GRRRRRR I LOVE iTTTTTTTTT!!! Nathalie is forever my favorite character. BUT THE COLORS, the storytelling through backgrounds, the great charters writing. in love, will read this forever PLEASE im begging for angst.

One word...CHAOS. Daily chaos on the Agreste household.

In here, Adrien is a year younger than in the Werepapas flashback. This time I tried a more colourful approach.

Nothing like drawing some smiles to heal the heart... to then BREAK IT WITH MORE ANGST AND DRAMA (saved for the next comic)

A couple questions about the MLB designs: - Plagg and Chat's tails both seem to have branching/fractal motifs going on, is that, like, symbolic of something? Ladybug has a lot of circles and rose/spirograph type designs, so is it maybe a "complete" and "incomplete" geometery thing? -Just how tall are Lady and Chat in their transformed forms? They seem way taller than their canon counterparts. -Was that rose thing ladybug made that version of her lucky charm?

So! the twin tails and twin bells that happen are because of Duality. Adrien and Chat are not the same person. Its only when Adrien transforms that he is completly Free of his sentimonster orders from Gabriel, Emilie, Nathalie, etc. Plagg has twin tail because he opens that pathway and because of how split destruction is as a concept.

They are both very tall. at bit above 2 meters (above 7 feet). Lady is a bit taller but that's just because Chat slouches, otherwise they are the same height

Lady Luck has Sacred Geometry in her design! Its what is shown in her lucky charm doodle and some other places. Its a mathematical language that's basically shows the blueprint of creation, very cool stuff. I am currently using it just as a symbol representing Creation
