El Toro de Piedra

Wow! Just wow! A LITERAL criminal doesn't go to jail for actual crimes and instead gets excused BY THE HEROES cause "He'S TrYiNg To Be BeTtEr"

Just when I thought they couldn't sink lower 😂

Why does Paris even need the police anymore?

You know what makes this even funnier than it already is? This scene literally excuses all of Gabriel's actions as Hawk Moth. The maturity of the writers truly is 🤌

Do the writers understand there are kids out there with criminal parents, parents or relatives in jail (or overall just abusive ones) and it's not all "but they're trying to be better 🥺"? That it's not about "but I love them please don't hurt them 🥺" but more "I WISH they loved me and I WISH they were better" - that even if a kid would want to believe nothing bad should happen to their parents, you need to face the consequences of your actions and sometimes that's jail. Cause that's why jail exists!

Hell, some kids break up contact with their parents later cause they treated them like sh*t and were sh*tty parents all their lives. Why should they keep around such a person? And it most definitely SHOULDN'T be encouraged to keep toxic people around you cause "tHeY'Re FaMiLy"

Some wish they could escape their situations and some, if they're lucky, can. And they're happy about it! A lot of these times kids face severe trauma and some never truly get out of it even years later. And in this case we are talking about an actual criminal, wanted by the police probably for years, who, on top, tried to force his son into a criminal activity. And technically we don't even know how often he forced Ivan into such an action

You know the quote "blood is thicker than water"? Guess what? It's not only toxic but WRONG. This is what happens when you shorten the original quote and switch the meaning. Here's the actual quote: "Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb" - see how the meaning takes a 180 turn?

Cause my last post did so well (thank you haters and stans 🫶) I thought, why not make a post about their delusions and bs. So let's talk Felix (this is for the stans 😘):

• "Emotion": he commited terrorism, was happily spreading fear and ceased innocent people from existance cause they were human and he doesn't like humans, a crime based on pure hatred - basically magical genocide (for a lil comparison check Magneto and his view on humans/mutants)

• "Pretension": Felix stalks and kidnaps Kagami, thinking it's just fine. Starts being interested in her romantically cause she's senti. He never cared about her before, only after finding out did he start caring - this plus fact above confirms he's racist against humans. No, Colt's abuse against him doesn't justify anything. Recreate the scenario in your head if it was with black and white people. Oh and on top of this, Felix makes Kagami feel sorry for him so she gives him a chance, which in the end works. Basically little guilttripping. But she also gets together with him cause he looks like her ex, for whom she still has unresolved feelings for so all in all Feligami is not only underdeveloped (has no build-up) but in a way also disgusting

• "Felix": His introduction and we already get to know he never cared for Adrien, in fact bullied him since they were little. The small amount of time he's there he invades Adrien's privacy on his phone, sends a hate message to his friends, hoping to break up their friendship, further pretends to be him to mess with his cousin as much as he can, SAs Ladybug so, again he can mess with Adrien and make his crush hate him, and puts camembert under Adrien's pillow just because. And ofc also steals Gabriel's ring cause his mother wanted to have it (who already never cared for them and only visited to get the rings back). Definitely respectful towards Gabriel AND Adrien and if he cares for his cousin so much, shouldn't he know Adrien has a right to those rings too? (Literally his amoks) Oh and in the end, he pretends to feel sorry - he doesn't a little bit ofc. Lovely boy 🤪

• Multiple eps in s4: Snoops around the Agreste mansion just cause he can - he literally has no motive other than snoop around and maybe find some dirt cause why not? If it wasn't obvious already gonna say it again - disrespectful af move. Imagine if one of your relatives or friends decided to basically break into private sections of your house.

• Season 4 finale: Decides to pretend to be Adrien, NOT for his benefit but his own which in the end he exploits by betraying Ladybug's trust and dealing every miraculous for the peacock with the villain. For all the heroes and whole Paris knows, Monarch won. He will defeat the heroes and make his Wish and dominate the Earth. "Lucky" for them plot armour exists and that Gabriel "only" wanted to bring Emilie back otherwise it would've meant the end of the world. And Felix helped without any bother or remorse 😃 Gonna say it - s5 would look different if Felix didn't exchange every miraculous for one. Hell, there's a chance Gabriel might've not gone mad!

• "Representation": After everything he's done he has the nerve to go to Marinette, not even directly(!), and ask her to help defeat Monarch so that HE can have a happy ending with his girlfriend. His motive wasn't "Monarch needs to be stopped cause he's the villain and people need to be safe" but "Monarch needs to be stopped cause I want ME to be safe with MY girlfriend" - can you smell the selfishness here?

• He claims to care so much for his cousin but as mentioned, he bullied him since they were kids, but he's senti so now he cares oh and now that Kagami is his girlfriend, he had every reason to try breaking Adrien and Kagami out of their lockdown in London. He literally lives there. But he didn't.

• Guess what? The writers and the fans want to make him out to be a hero but he isn't and never was. In fact he never even AT LEAST apologized to Ladybug after everything he's done, for betraying her for example 😃

So on a final note - you can't excuse him. These are things he did. It's canon. You can't twist around anything. If you want to try and excuse him, ask yourself "are you REALLY a fan of the character if you can't accept their wrongdoings? Or do you just want your fav character to be a perfect angel?"

For everything he does he has selfish reasons. And that's his character, accept it.

Colt's abuse doesn't excuse anything. Like the saying goes "it's an explanation, NOT an excuse"

In fact, by the narrative's standard it definitely doesn't give you the right to behave like a jacka**, see Chloe who never got a redemption cause "she was too far gone" and this scene:

Rose: "Don't be mad at her. She's this way because her mother left her when she was young."

Mylène: "So did mine! And you don't see me having fun bullying Marinette."

And for sure it doesn't give anyone any right to wield a miraculous, quoting Astruc: "Mean people don't and will never deserve a Miraculous"

Another interesting fact Astruc once revealed was about why Felix was later switched to Adrien as the love interest for Marinette. With his words, "he's a weak character with cliché psychology" - can't believe it but I agree with Astruc. Felix definitely works on cliché psychology. Ofc it's hilarious cause they write him this way but oh well, their mistake and the fans' blind spot.

Apparently Felix was also too dark and too mean for Marinette but guess that doesn't apply to Kagami 🙃

Anyway, enjoy the food Felix stans 😉

No fr right! And the stans just go on, trying to find excuses 🙄

Fact is - they can't. He did all those stuff, it's canon and they're literally crimes. If we were talking real, he should be in juvie cause he commited serious crimes lol.

Nathalie literally would be the mum lol. Like technically she would be the most skilled holder, she already showed that as Mayura

Can someone explain to me Marinette's grand idea of letting Felix keep the peacock?

• Stole all the miraculous, handing them over to the villain. If Gabriel was out for world domination he would've played part in helping him reach his goal and thus basically ending the world

• Terrorized whole Paris, making everyone disappear, something not even the main villain of the show did all 5 seasons long. And he did that in 1 day. He was literally singing a happy song and dancing while spreading fear. If that's not something a maniac villain does

• Kidnapped Kagami and thought it was okay. Only likes her cause she's senti - he's basically racist (granted Marinette probably doesn't know this but we do and every other point should be enough for her not to trust him)

• Bullied Adrien since they were kids, which can go as far as putting camembert under his pillow and sending a hate message to his friends just cause he can, thus invading his privacy on his phone. Pretends to be him just cause he can too ofc for selfish reasons

• If all these weren't bad enough, he ASSAULTED Ladybug just to mess with Adrien. Sure he cares for his cousin : D

• Chances are if he betrayed her once, he might betray her again. Will put nothing past him

• Literally lives in London. Should he fly to Paris every time something's happening?

So why not give back the peacock to Nathalie? She's healthy again, on the good side, she's responsible and trustworthy, she read the Grimoire so knows more about any of the miraculous than anyone on the team, she's an ADULT and granted they seriously need one, she already has experience with the peacock and Duusuu likes her, has combat skills and they're more than impressive (slay queen) and she's smart af. Plus SHE'S RIGHT THERE!!!

Here we go again, still learnt nothing?

"It matters if Felix does" - what are you saying? That Felix ACTUALLY ceasing Gabriel from existance matters but it still isn't something villainous? Interesting take. Defending Gabriel over Felix is an interesting take, I simply pointed out how he only threatened him while Felix actually DID what he threatened. Which one is worse then?

"It's not whether Nathalie would kill a kid for no reason. It's about it being drilled into Felix for 14 years that he can't trust his safety to anyone else" - yeah, that sure is enough reason to let him keep the peacock. Cause no one else can use it responsibly? Frankly that's not anyone's problem but his as harsh as it sounds. Kagami could have the same fears, she would have every right to cause she knows she's senti or Adrien once he finds out. But no, cause Felix is afraid he can have it but Kagami couldn't if she had the same fears. That's illogical. Wouldn't it be about him learning to let go off that fear? That's what we call progress. Also Felix ceased whole Paris from existance but who cares lol. And Ladybug and Cat Noir killed many sentis before or don't they suddenly matter anymore? Cause the whole debatte of whether a senti is alive or not only matters when it causes dramatic effect. Didn't Nathalie undergo character development or doesn't that count anymore either? You know, to give people the benefit of the doubt and trust them 😃

"But that doesn't matter if he does better in future" - do you hear yourself or are you deaf to your own words? Do you realize you doubt your own point by saying IF he does better? Comedic gold 😂

How does the saying go "forgive but NEVER forget"? "A reason that Marinette can understand and move forward with" - funny you should mention this cause psychology CONSTANTLY brings this up. It gives a reason to why someone does what they do but it DOESN'T excuse it. Meaning if someone harms another person it explains why they did it but it doesn't excuse it, hence they have to face the consequences of their actions, in more brutal cases prison. When did Felix face the consequences of his actions? Let me remind you my og post was about why Marinette shouldn't let him keep the peacock. Only that nothing more. Isn't her not letting him keep it such a consequence based on him abusing the peacock's power and betraying her trust by stealing the other miraculous to deal them with the villain?

Lol I went deeper into Chloe cause YOU pointed her out. And I'm using facts from the show. From the show's point of view Chloe was too irresponsible with her miraculous so she lost Ladybug's trust along with her miraculous. However Felix did worse than her on multiple occasions but he's getting the "benefit of the doubt" - ironic don't you think? : D

I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this: "in the end" is a popular idiom for reflecting on a point or "when everything is taken into consideration" - in Chloe's case it's pretty obvious she won't get her character arc anymore. One can hope but Astruc won't let it happen, he made that very clear

"It literally doesn't matter if he did it for a selfish reason, he did a good thing" - wow, you really are deep in denial aren't you? A prime example of a "but, but..." excuse. Then Gabriel wasn't in the wrong for trying to bring Emilie back either. It was for a good cause 🤪 you see, in fact it DOES matter cause if Gabriel wasn't a threat, he wouldn't have asked LB to defeat him already. He acts selfishly and is supposed to be in a team of heroes now?

Why? I only brought up Kagami cause she was in on telling Marinette that story and stop Gabriel for a selfish reason. It was the two of them who did it. It might've been Felix' idea but she was okay with it. It's what happened in the ep lol

Not gonna comment of her lucky charms, I did previously

No, it doesn't make sense for her to trust Tomoe. Why even? Again, she literally lets her roam free without facing any consequences of high crimes. Is that what a good hero does? The thing is, Gabriel's initial plan was ALWAYS to bring Emilie back. So in the end he'd either choose to fulfill his original wish or, as he did, heal Nathalie. There was no world domination in his plan. Never was, not even when he went mad.

EXACTLY it's riskier! Which makes a bad hero! As I pointed out before, she now just sits around and risks playing "will he, won't he" which in the end puts everyone at risk - Paris, the heroes, everyone! She didn't bring Tomoe to justice either, as pointed out before. She doesn't fulfill her role as the hero of Paris, as a guardian over the city! "You want Felix punished" - shouldn't it be obvious why? Progress as a person only works if you FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DAMN ACTIONS which Felix never did. So gonna repeat myself here, one obvious consequence would be not letting him near a miraculous anymore, AT LEAST for the time being if she decided to give him a chance and watch him closely for any missteps. Just saying - Nathalie was ready to turn herself in, meaning face the consequences of her actions, but Ladybug prevented her from doing so. LB literally trusts her fully now, no reason holding her back from giving her the peacock again but apparently Paris needs to be protected by a bunch of teens

Additional point which was technically mentioned already too - what Felix did in "Emotion" is kinda equivalent to Magneto's goals and beliefs and guess what? He's a known VILLAIN in the Marvel universe. Both did/do it for selfish reasons.

Another additional point which interestingly you failed to mention, which I did in my og post: why should he have the peacock if he lives in London while the fights take place and the new villain is located in Paris? See the lack of logic?

Btw found the perfect summary for Felix and his little stans who excuse him, like you do:

"He killed 80 people in two days"

"He's adopted"

This was all fun while it lasted Karen, thank you for the laughs, have a good day : )

You think Gabriel would've actually ceased him from existance? That was only a threat. Meanwhile Felix DID actually snap him out of existance along with many other INNOCENT random people. What did they do to deserve it?

Yeah, "as long as ANYONE having the peacock there's a risk" yeah right. Cause Nathalie would snap him out of existance cause she's bored. Or Luka or Marinette or Adrien if they had the peacock. Your logic is flawed.

So him being abused by Colt gives him the right to lash out? To bully Adrien, to terrorize Paris, to kidnap Kagami? But Chloe isn't allowed to act out when both her parents are sh*t. Interesting

I just expanded Chloe a little cause you mentioned her. Point is that in the end, by the standards of MLB she didn't deserve her miraculous while Felix did when he did worse than Chloe.

Lol that was a selfish reason. If Gabriel wasn't a threat to their love they wouldn't have cared to tell that story and alarm LB. Think people, think

It does actually matter cause it shows the lucky charms are just whatever. The lore is inconsistent so not 100% trustworthy

Her always giving the benefit of the doubt doesn't make her a good hero, at least the s5 finale should convey this message. It actually shows why she's a weak hero. Cause it's easier to just believe "ah they might come to their senses on their own" than to make them face the consequences of their actions and bring them to justice. Cause she doesn't do anything about Tomoe either but that is another conversation too

Thank you for showcasing again why the MLB fandom is lost. If you can't see why Felix is a sh*tty person and doesn't deserve his miraculous, your problem

Scared 14 year old? Of what? And that gives him the right to terrorize Paris? "Emotions" calls such bs on everybody and once again shows the writing team's incompetence. So why didn't Chloe deserve the bee miraculous when she actually tried being better? That's right, cause the writing team said so. Obviously this doesn't apply to Felix who literally did all the stuff mentioned above in my points. This is just "excuses, excuses, let's try making him look good when he never once did since his introduction"

They literally just showed her the play so she defeats Monarch so THEY can be happy and safe. Their intention wasn't "Monarch needs to be stopped so Paris and the world is safe" but "we want to be together"

You can't really argue with the lucky charm. She got like 4 or 5 lucky charms in "Werepapas" and she never cared for those and most of those kinda were actually useful when that's NOT how a lucky charm is supposed to work

And her trusting Monarch literally led to her LOSING. He got his Wish. She failed as a hero

This is a bunch of bs actually. You completely miss my points. None are any GOOD reasons to let him keep the peacock. Why he did what he did - hating on humans which is basically racist. Cause one hated him so everyone else deserves to suffer. INNOCENT PEOPLE! Yes, that's villain stuff right there

He never was a hero, not even close to an anti hero. Just look at how he treats Adrien! Again, he ASSAULTED Ladybug just so he can mess with Adrien and that's just one thing. He bullied him since they were kids! He never felt remorse for anything he did. His remorse in "Emotion" is that kind of bs for example - the writers trying to make him out to to be some kind of "tragic hero". He never was and never needed to be. He basically only told the story of the twins so he can get a "happily ever after" with Kagami. They're 14! He never cared to defeat Gabriel cause it's the right thing to do. Hell he didn't even try breaking Kagami or Adrien out in London. His romance with Kagami was completely unnecessary too and again, he's only with her cause she's senti - showing his racism once again. What he did on that night in Paris was something a villain would do and frankly not even Gabriel did THAT. And again, he made a deal with THE VILLAIN of Paris just so he himself can play villain.

"A hero would sacrifice you for the world. A villain would sacrifice the world for you"

Chloe actually showed heroism and will to work on herself - then along came the writers. She was the FIRST person to break free from a potential akumatization cause she believed in the hero inside herself and Ladybug. Sabrina suffered under Chloe and was more of a victim. Then she corrected her wrongs in s5 but actually was there for Chloe too as we hear from their memories. They earned their miraculous. Felix did nothing to deserve his. If Chloe was "too far gone" then Felix BY MILES, plus his identity is basically public knowledge too (forgot this in my points)

Just cause he's senti he deserves his miraculous? So why not Adrien or Kagami then if that's "reason enough"? They're senti too. (LB doesn't know Adrien is CN) If it gets into the wrong hands, they can't just make them disappear. They have to know them, know who they want to cease from existance and with MLB that basically will only be important if it comes to Adrien. This basically just gives another plus point to why Nathalie should get the peacock again - cause with her it would be safe. Adrien is basically her son, she won't let anything ever happen to him.

Ladybug can't just get it back when she realizes "nah Felix isn't suitable after all" cause at that point he would've already betrayed her and the team. At that point it'll be too late. So she basically RISKS the team and whole Paris by giving Felix a chance for a whole game of "will he, won't he." Frankly, she isn't a good Guardian anyway, seeing how all season finals go down the pipe due to her incompetence, not even locking her box with at least a password but that's a whole nother story

Miraculous and the parents dilemma: How is it MLB only seems to present bad parents and barely any healthy families? Like, most of the teen characters have bad parents, on top most are single too so they can't even have at least one good parent they can find comfort in

Adrien: Gabriel isn't exactly "father of the year" and let's not act like Emilie was that holy mother everyone makes her out to be. She never let him exit the mansion either (as an example). Anyway she died so. The grandparents? F*ck you Emil, Millie, don't act like you're better, Johnny and Gabrielle - so far chill but did they really not care how their only son just died recently? Thank you Nathalie for showing how a parent should be

Sublime: Severin is actually chill and supportive (good parent points to him) while Caroline pushes her daughter way too hard. Plus they are divorced and cursed their daughter with this whatever name (how did they get it approved lol?)

Sabrina: Roger is kinda overprotective and he basically lets her daughter get bullied by the one person who she thinks is her friend. Also single parent

Chloe/Zoé: Audrey is basically a narcissist, can't even remember her daughters names, Andre doesn't really give a sh*t about Chloe, his parenting style is "gifts and money are enough", Zoé is basically an affair child. We don't even know her father's name, only that it's a certain Mr. Lee (well, that helps lol)

Luka/Juleka: Anarka and Jagged - not a good mix. Jagged is basically an absent father and too much into the "rock n roll lifestyle", and Anarka doesn't seem to care too much about what's happening in her children's lives

Marinette: Sabine and Tom are completely oblivious to the stalking activities of their daughter or like almost any activity for that matter. Don't even get me started on Tom's parents (Roland, you're in the "f*ck you" club too)

Max: We didn't see too much of his relationship with his mother but she seems chill (only cause she basically has like no screentime). Appears to be single parent too

Alix: Alim, where do I start - huge favoritism problem. Never acknowledges his son, one could say he hates him, while plays favourites with Alix. Also single as it appears

Felix: Colt was definitely a true sunshine. Amelie basically cheers on her son's terrorist acts and manipulates him into stealing the twin rings back from Gabriel (not like him and Adrien are family or anything plus those contain his amoks you beanhead) so yeah, great parenting right there : D

Alya: You know what? Her parents seem to understand parenting duties

Kagami: Tomoe, prime example of abusive and demanding mother. She's so bad, her daughter almost commited s*cide. Single or killed her husband, I'm taking both options into consideration

Mylene: Her mother left her when she was young. Fred actually is a good parent and cares for his daughter but barely appears anyway

So....are the writers allergic to healthy parenting? What do they gain with giving almost all the teens horrible family lives?

At this point I'm writing this out of the memory I have cause I refuse to rewatch MLB cause honestly I don't need that kind of suffering again, I suffered enough

Cause these two are a match made in heaven - literally friendzoned/"just-an-assistant"ed themselves lol

Omg totally! Our gang is NOT done! Gabenath is real, we've literally seen it, s5 isn't real anyway (weird in general and ooc for especially Gabriel and Chloe)

There are fanfic writers more competent than the MLB writers (specifically Astruc)

Now that "Sublimation" is officially out I have a few notes to add (trying not to be too spoilery):

Wish we could've seen how Adrien and Sublime started becoming friends. I don't think we will see this piece of information later on but well, one can hope. Adrien always gets sidelined and now it's him who made a new friend for himself, outside the sidelines. Regardless, they seem to have such a sweet friendship. Yep, still shipping Adrien/Sublime, now even more! Why are they pushing Adrienette so hard when it's toxic af!? So far Sublime and Adrien seem to have a nice connection, the kind of connection which is perfect to build on a relationship (yes, my head's full of ideas and "head"canons). Even Sublime's parents seem they would get along nicely with Gabriel and Nathalie (Gabenath is real - can't convince me otherwise) With character developments Gabriel and Caroline could bond over how their cold demeanour aggravated their relationship with their kids and led to their own downfall too. Nathalie and Severin both have great bonds with their kids already (yes, Adrien is Nathalie's son) so they can either bond over that or trash-talk their partners, both options are good. And ofc both Adrien and Sublime can bond over sooo many things. Both play instruments, both do sports, both seem to have similar childhoods, both raised to be perfect still grew up to be the sweetest, both giving off golden retriever energy, both seemingly being into Greek history (stan them for this)

Ah yes, I'm full of ideas. We could have all this...with competent writers but alas, at least we got fanfiction and our headcanons

Sidenote: did anyone else get the feeling when Adrien explained Marinette's creepy behavior to Sublime (why would you do that Adrien?) her eyes were literally screaming "Adrien, blink twice if you're in danger" cause wtf was Marinette pulling!?

(S5 isn't canon, it's just a bad nightmare)

Now that "Sublimation" is officially out I have a few notes to add (trying not to be too spoilery):

Is it just me or...cause I already ship Adrien and Sublime more than Adrienette (literally toxic). I know the ep ain't even out yet but somehow (and with the clips I've seen so far) I have the feeling he and Sublime gonna have amazing chemistry and honestly, both have similar backgrounds already (having demanding parents, no friends for long because of parents, both actually being sweethearts though) which can be built on

Just my two cents

(Oh and I really hope she has at least a decent name cause who tf names their kid Sublime? Poor girl was raised to excell since day 1)

Nah, the gross ship is actually Adrienette. Gabenath could solve almost anything. Gabriel & Nathalie literally show more chemistry in 4 seconds every 7th episode than whole Adrienette 5 seasons long so far

The thinking of Thomas Astruc:

"Season 5's gonna be amazing! I can finally get rid of Chloe, destroy the plot and finally kill off Gabriel's whole character. Yes, this is gonna be fun but what to do with Gabenath? Sadly we gave the fans signs, hm let me think, oh I got it. If we make Gabriel say he never trusted her, only used her this entire time and leave Nathalie to die the Gabenath fandom will definitely be shut down once and for all. Yeah, that's what we gonna do. Also let's make Adrien suffer, it's so much fun. Fans will love it. And the finale will be great!"

Honestly, were the writers of MLB s5 like high or something!? Wtf did they do!? I'm afraid to ask what they plan with the next seasons lol

Anyway....let's just ignore it and live happily in our own headcanons cause at this point the show just became ridiculously overwhelming
