You know why the finale got to me? It’s not because the love square dissipated, it’s not because Hawkmoth knows almost everyone’s identities, and it’s not because Chloe decided to be a bad person.
It’s because of shots like this:
and this
and this (literal tears on her face)
Look at how utterly alone Marinette is
Even in this last shot.
Yes, she’s farthest from Adrien, but she’s also estranged from every single one of the people who have been shown to be her closest friends: Alya, Juleka, Rose, Mylène, Alix. She’s nowhere near any them.
It really emphasizes how Master Fu is absent and she’s the guardian: she’s on her own now.
Yes, she has Tikki, but Tikki can’t tell her to take a break. Marinette is the only Ladybug available.
She doesn’t really have Chat Noir because they can’t know each other’s identities and he’s given up on her romantically.
She doesn’t have Adrien because she gave him up so he could be happy with Kagami.
She doesn’t have Alya or the girl gang because she can’t tell them what’s going on (same for her parents).
She can’t even tell Luka, but at least he said it’s okay for her to say nothing, right?
It’s just so frustrating. So unfair. She’s fourteen and she has a secret that’s so detrimental to the well-being of others that she is forced to isolate herself from everyone.
And in the end, all she can really do is take the moment with Luka playing his guitar and breathe it all in. Because at any given day, hour, minute, second, she’ll have to go back to her double life as Ladybug.
i’m wishin’ i can make this mine, oh
edit: Secret Santa for @odessious
v*ltron: literally killed off the black main character for ‘shock value’ and left their other brown character to be sad in the end for the rest of his life and haven’t treated any of their minority representing characters correctly since the show started and the whole plot line and writing of the show is just flat out fucking racist/homophobic/xenophobic
some of y’all: wah they gave us allurance scenes >:( they didn’t make klance canon :((( how could they :((( oh well this doesn’t personally affect me bc i have no concept of my own privilege but thanks for the show anyway i love it <3
What cringe culture shouldnt be about: kids having fun & enjoying things like videogames and making OCs
What cringe culture should be about:
i mean-
james looks like a klance fusion
