Well, it's true, Nath has had a bit more screen time since the second season, and Marc needs his time too. But I think, you know, if time were used efficiently, like fillers chapters, there wouldn't have been a need to decide who's in the shadows. (But, oh, what a shame, Marinette's random issues are more important than developing the world and its characters. Too bad.)
(And god, now that you mention it, Nathaniel got the healthy, male version of Marinette, lol)
While Nathanaël did go from being considered essentially a main character by most of the fandom to Background Character #20, I'd say Marc is the one whose only purpose for existing is the ship. He didn't have a reason to be introduced outside of being Nath's boyfriend, because like. If we really needed a writer who shared Nath's passion for comic books, Alya was right there.
Hi! It feels weird to see a message in my inbox that isn't spam, haha!
I once read an interview with the person who inspired Marc's character (Hope Morphin, a friend of TA's), where they said that when they started creating Marc, he asked them who their favorite character was, to which they replied it was Nathaniel (by the way, Hope mentioned that TA complained a bit because people liked secondary characters, lol).
With the question, it was already clear that Marc's introduction would be through another character, maybe even a partner or romantic interest, regardless of whoever Hope's favorite was. So yes, Marc exists to be someone's partner, although I don't know if it's just me, but even before Ruler, I think he had more shine as an individual. He likes to write, but he doesn't limit himself to art (Like Nath). He also likes football. He's also had a change in attitude (from extremely shy in Reverser to more confident in Penal Team). Yeah, these are just a few clues about the character, and to be honest, I haven't watched the show in a while, but I only remember him appearing in a duo with Nathaniel, with Marc standing out more (I suppose because of the differences in their designs and personalities), and if I remember correctly, he had more lines.
In the end, they were just there as a secundary couple to set the scene, "plot tools." But now I think that changed a bit with Ruler. Besides, they might have a real influence on the main plot. It's also worth noting that I'm a Cloenath stan, so I prefer to watch them individually, which is why it bothered me a little that their existences were limited to their relationship and art. You know how much I needed a reaction from Nathaniel about not being able to see Alix, his best friend, again?
(By the way, this was translated with Google, and I haven't seen Season 6 yet, so this might be a little weird or misinformed.)
Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience, but I wanted to ask how anti-Semitism is related to the horns thing. I tried to search for it but nothing shows up. And again, sorry if it's poorly written or in the wrong place (it's the first time I've tried to speak on Tumblr and I'm using Google translate).
Sometimes i'll remember Caprikid and....just be hit by the memory that they really gave the jewish teenager superhero horns and acted like that wasn't a big fucking antisemitic thing back in the day and lmao its no big deal i guess its not like there's still some pretty severe antisemitism problems in Europe anymore and i just... hate this design team a little more
On the one hand, the show never explicitly confirmed that Nathaniel was Jewish, but on the other hand, to give your comic book-loving character the same last name that arguably the most famous comic book artist in history would mean you had to at least have some sort of awareness to look into the name he had at birth instead of assuming his pen name was his actual name. To make things worse, Jack Kirby was reportedly very proud of his Jewish heritage to the point where he was offended at the accusations that he only changed his name to hide it.
Though I bet if you asked Astruc about this creative decision, he’d probably say something along the lines of “We never said he was Jewish. Silly fandom, always overthinking the show.”
3 días haciendo un trabajo y descomponiendome por los nervios para que lo pasen de día porque si :)
Por lo menos hice unas máscaras re facheras.
well, shit. My phone's battery swelled and I can no longer use it without exploding. I have another older phone, but I won't be able to play WHB anymore. ಥ_ಥ
God, I was even confident that I was going to get tortured Satan. I wanted to at least get a Satan! It's my favorite and I didn't get it at all! I literally have 2 Mammon (selfie and bath) and leviathan (school uniform and attacker), but no Satan!
Although I take this opportunity to ask what the hell (haha) happened to Belphegor, did he go back to his previous illustration or did they just replace his face?
I've been getting this for a month and a half, and every time I blocked and reported it, it came back again.
sorry to have to tell you this but if a stranger comes to your inbox or slides in your DMs asking you for your money with some sob story, no matter how tragic and convincing the story is, they are a scammer — especially if the story is obviously copied and pasted, formatted in the exact same way as the other 100 bots in your inbox
Well, it's been a while since I thought about my Miraculous AU since things happened (WHB, my phone's battery swelled, new hyper fixation with manwhas with "reincarnate as the villain" trope, etc, etc.) so I figured that It would be better to write about what I have so far for my favorite character.
I don't know about you, but I think filling your life with different father figures/mentors, the idea of contradictory teachings I think would be a good thing to explore; André does not educate her and spoils her, Audry sets a terrible example for her, Gabriel plays an uncle role (forget the Canon! Gabriel), Armand is like a surrogate father who every time he's more worried, (plus an OC I planned to literally have confrontations with Audrey and behave like a mother and mentor to Chloe, being strict but seriously caring about her). Yes, I replaced Bustier due to changes in the AU since they are separated into 2 different schools.
So, I think more or less their relationships could be said to be the following;
André; Even though he is her father, they don't really have a relationship, which causes a disconnection on both of their parts. Even when he gives her everything, it's just material things. I would like to think that he would start trying to relate to her after seeing signs or directly the results of his neglect, but I feel that it could be perceived as too late, so possibly Chloe could reject him and instead of insisting as a father, he would he would pay attention to Zoe to make up for his mistakes with Chloe, further driving the rift between the sisters. basically, he is negligent, hasn't learned how to be a father and is certainly selfish as he just wants to calm his mind by "fixing" his mistake. although I feel that the positive thing Chloe could have gotten out of him would be a political attitude, the way of analyzing and the importance of transparency (this man will also have a large rewrite).
Audrey; I still haven't made up my mind about this woman since I feel like some people are putting weight off her actions to disfavor Chloe when she's clearly a shitty mother, so I don't know whether to make her a total secondary villain or handle her solely as an antagonist. I definitely feel like she's a "you ruined my life" type of mom, resentful of her daughter and her husband, maybe married because she got pregnant. Obviously his relationship with Chloe is not good, even as she tries to follow his example and seek his approval, I think he will compare her to Zoe to hurt her. She is a flamboyant, unfriendly and cruel woman (and Cheater), but I think the positive thing Chloe could have gotten out of her would be the character, the determination she learned from trying to get her approval and the antipathy towards the judgment of others (like "that's all you have? my mom tells me worse things." sad, but useful in combination with other traits).
Gabriel; I will change even this man's DNA, so things are different here! First of all, he is not a shitty man, he has just really seen a lot of shit and is psychologically so fucked, but he does take into account how his actions can mark the children (he is also wrong, walking away during the duel to prevent his sons see him destroyed, obviously causing negative effects that he recognizes as his mistake as a father). For his part, he has repeatedly tried to talk to André so that he can relate to his daughter and has been in several situations where Chloe needed her father. Generally, he sees her as his niece who needs help but doesn't know how to support her other than to recognize her and advise her as best he can, but he's also not very good at dealing with children.
(As "Hawk Moth" the guy will definitely akumatize her often, but it's because in this AU the butterfly miraculous can take things from the akumatized person's mind, like pain or sadness. The butterfly miraculous can be a great tool for mental health as a great psychological weapon)
Armand (Jean?); Okay, let's be honest, this is Chloe's real father since a father is one who raises, not one who begets. (I don't know why but he has that vibe that he could be a malewife father, so I have the headcanon that he could have bought or even sewn the teddy bear for Chloe himself). This man behaves like a loving and proud father when no co-worker is around, even acknowledging Chloe's unpleasant personality traits. Curiously, I feel that he felt sorry for her when she was a child, so he wanted to compensate her for André's negligence, but before he realized it, he was already on the verge of crying while writing a speech for his elementary school graduation. Armand tried to avoid most of the Bourgeois' toxic influence, but he is too lenient in scolding her, so she gets her way easily without threats. They actually have a very good relationship, he will try to teach her the right path and will be there for her when she needs him. Armand is a sensitive, fatherly and calm man (as well as somewhat playful, as he is willing to participate in harmless pranks).
???; Since this character is an OC, I have doubts about introducing her since generally when OC's are introduced in AUs or fics I lose interest, so I will leave her for later, but I must say that she will be key for Chloe in the future.
(God, I think that with everything I upload about Chloe, no one is going to believe me that Marinette is still protagonist in my AU, although I must admit that I like to think that each character would be the protagonist in their respective akumatization episodes and that the focus It's not exclusive to Marinette.)
Well, that's all for now. I had to go home to write this on PC since the Tumblr page reloaded and deleted Armand's paragraph. It's been 3 hours since my cat was neutered.
Meaning:
Ángel: "angel", "messenger", in the Bible, it is used to refer to celestial beings sent by God. I feel like this is too modern and city-like, but it's a good option.
Arcelio: Of Spanish and Latin origin, it means "altar of heaven". It sounds very country, they have names like that and it sounds really good, idk
Asensio: The name Asensio, originally a proper name, refers to the Ascension of Jesus, a biblical event that marks his glorification after his death. It sounds old-fashioned, but very appropriate for someone from the countryside, who usually have old-fashioned names like Inocencio, Hipolito or Hermenegildo.
This is just a silly thing, but I was wondering which one sounded better to others.
Well, I've been seeing MLB spoilers lately, and each one is worse than the last... So I'm going to start drawing Chloe, Luka, and now Sabrina, because all three of them deserve nice fanarts.
I might also draw Felix and Kagami, but I'll think about it.
By the way, if anyone is interested in a specific drawing or a simple commission, you can request it on my Kofi, at the moment I can only do simple things and doodles without color. ^^
Más Chloe! Estos son dibujitos un toque más viejos, pero los tengo como referencia para tratar aún de sacar un buen diseño para ella.
Okay, this is something I've been thinking about for a while. There are many who talk about the opportunities that Marinette and the class gave Chloe, and how they really shouldn't have even been given them since she bullied them, that she is a bad person, that she caused serious troubles and blah, blah, blah..
(I must admit that I don't really mind the bad things she does since I feel a great apathy towards much of the cast, which I find very robotic, irritating and pointless. Even my favorites, Nathaniel and Kagami, became part of that amalgam. So Chloe can burn down all of France and I will continue to support her).
But what I want to get at is something else, and that is; Are they really important if you want to make a arc for Chloe? (whether for better or worse). I mean, it's not like the decision to "give her a chance or not" totally influences his life as it is, as if school and class are everything.
But this is obviously not the case, Chloe is rich and has high status, she did ballet for years and rubs shoulders with important people. Should she really care about people that she will not see again after the end of the school year and who are not important in her life? (beyond Sabrina and Adrien, but I'll talk about them later).
You don't need them or Marinette if you really want to write an arc. Chloe may have other "friends", rivals or enemies in any other area. Even someone completely new to turn her life upside down!
Whether as a heroine or a villain, it wasn't that difficult to use the screen time they invested in her and silly plots (Chloe Mayor) for a serious development about Chloe (or shorten and advance the final conflict of the story).
(At the same time I'm writing this I'm watching the last episodes of season 5 haha).
I don't know why, but now that they gave Chloe that ending, I'm really looking forward to a Butterfly!Villain!Chloe.
No tengo idea de que hago acá, ayuda jsj.FINALMENTE TENGO 18 AÑOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
