I rarely write in my blog, but something changed my mind.
And it’s ML Chameleon preview.
I’m so bitter right now. I’m so hurt on Marinette’s behalf. Because I was once that girl. Good girl, who always listens, helps, tries to be the bigger person, abandons her own ambitions for the sake of other people. And betrayed by all the people around because of small misunderstanding. Abandoned by her besties because, apparently, there’s a better shinier version of friend near. You are irrelevant by a second and no one cares about you just because you’re not good enough for them anymore. You have not meet their expectations therefore you a trash.
I’m sorry fandom, but those trops where Marinette’s class just apologized or Alya just returned Marinette’s place to her or whatever DOES NOT FIX ANYTHING. THIS WILL NEVER HELP. Because this wound is deaper and it takes more than returned attention or affection to heal.
Friendship is not about how you give or take affection. It’s about trust. It’s about comminication. And if there’s none of it. There is no friendship.
Marinette deserves more than this bitches class. And after this preview, I absolutely lost my respect for ML plot writers. And for her class too.
Have either Tom or Sabine get akumatized over Marinette being treated like shit! That way we have a poignant Marinette focused episode about her struggles and her parents, we give Tom/Sabine something to do, and we don’t need to Akumatize Marinette thus having her blame herself for the shit that has happened to her, while still having some catharsis over the narrative treating her like shit.
Y’know there’s a part of me that hopes Mari gets akumatized, and then later all of Lila’s lies are exposed so that the class can see how they made Mari felt.
But tbh- the fact that Adrien looked really pissed off (though supposedly it was an “animation error” but idk if that’s true) bothers me a little. Idk I just can’t- see why they made him like that. It’s not really his character? He’s been so passive these two seasons it doesn’t really make sense that SUDDENLY he gets aggressive? Through Chloe’s bitchiness and Lila literally being exposed about lying to him he just shrugged it off- but suddenly he’s angry at Marinette?
Speaking of Chloe- I kinda hope that smile was a “holy shit I didn’t think Marinette had that in her WOW” kind of smile. I also hope that SOMEONE feels bad and sits with Marinette in the back?
Alright alright aaaalright, I KNOW we shouldn’t judge based on a sneak peek but oof
Big OOF
First of all, Alya, girl, you literally had NO right to give up Mari’s seat for Nino, lmao, what
You were supposed to be her BESTIE. You’ve failed me.
Nino knew far too well that was Mari’s seat and he shouldn’t take it without waiting for her to get to school and ask her but ya know, gf > friends apparently
Adrien, lmao, I swear to God you’re gonna get the biggest ass whoopin of your life if ya dare say one single bad thing about Marinette
Oh and Lila. Lila deserves to be throw into a hole and left there to rot because honestly liars and manipulative people make me sick to the point I want to throw up
As for the rest of the class, yall deserve
-Akumatized Marinette fuckin yall up
-Chloe herself shaming yall for siding with Lila
-Marinette never helpin your sorry asses again
-Luka and Kagami siding with Marinette after they catch her crying around and beatin you up with a guitar and slice you up with a sword
It would be
great to see Marinette snap in Chameleon.
And no, I don’t
mean it in a ‘yeah, for her to be akumatized’ kinda way. I mean actually call
people out.
She refused
to sit.
Instead? Marinette
takes her time, staring at every single one of her classmates dead in the eye.
Her eyes no
longer seem to belong to her. Where there was kindness, there’s now a hard look
that few dare to compare to the girl who wears a polka-dotted suit, swinging
and running and jumping around Paris while protecting its citizens.
The glares
she’s receiving waver.
Marinette closes
her eyes, takes a deep breath, and starts walking down until she’s by Madame
Bustier’s side, purposely ignoring the older woman.
And starts addressing
everyone.
Marinette’s
words are sharp like daggers. She makes them remember what she has done for her
so called friends in the room. How she has risked her time for them. In some
occasions, her own safety and place in the school.
Also, you know what I fear? I fear that the reason why that Akuma was about to akumatize Marinette while she was seating in a bathroom stall, it’s because she was crying, alone and heartbroken, in it, because of something else happening to her during lunch, most definitely something caused by Lila to more have her be seen under a bad light from her class and friend, which has her run away to the bathroom to cry in shame.
It has already happened before in other episodes for people to get Akumatized in that same spot for similar reasons, after all.
And I swear if this actually happens, I’m going to cut someone.
In the light of the new Miraculous Ladybug Season 3 trailer, I thought I’d remind everyone I can’t stand Lila. Like, never has a truthful word come from her mouth, she willingly allied with Hawkmoth because of jealousy, she has no respect for Adrien or his boundaries, etc. I just really don’t like her.
Marinette contacts Lila’s parents with concerns that her lying is negatively impacting the class, complete with recordings of the lies. They make her confess and apologize to the entire class. Her family and the class are now immediately suspect of the person that its apparently public knowledge got themselves akumatized because of their own lies (remember Sapotis? I do, Alya).
Why Marinette doesn’t just play along with Lila’s lie.
Now hear me out because I can hear the protests boiling. We all know Lila is a crazy amazing liar and manipulator, a person who is so committed to her stories she would go the extra mile to actually find and purchase a piece of expensive jewelry to support her lie of being a Miraculous Holder. We can also see she can make up lies at the drop of a hat if anyone just so happens to see or try and poke holes in her story.
In my experience, you don’t fight these kind of people, you flow with them. Even a professional juggler can’t keep juggling if you throw too many items at him.
What Marinette should do is just pretend to go with the Lila then play on it. Keep asking Lila questions disguised as enthusiastic interest, PURPOSELY keep pushing her to keep stockpiling on lies, rapidly plugging up holes. At some point the lie will get so big even Lila’s gonna start feeling the pressure and then…
She will slip, and get careless.
The holes in her story are now too big to plug, the lies are too many to maintain! People are starting to doubt her and eventually… The pressure will break her! Destroying the sly little bitch to pieces!!!!
I hope something like this happens in the end of the episode.
Marinette (as Ladybug, who the class still thinks is best friends with Lila) tells everyone about how her best friend Lila told her that she was going to fake a hearing problem to sit next to the guy she had a crush on.
The class trusts Ladybug, and if Ladybug is Lila’s best friend why would she lie about it? Now Lila either has to admit she lied about being friends with Ladybug, or admit she faked her hearing problem
