so many of marinette's choices/actions, esp this season, just make so much sense if you interpret her as having ADHD. ik the main thing people tend to point out is her eccentricities, her bad time management/tendency to be late, her fixations, etc. But ADHD doesn't just affect work/life habits and is smth that can create difficulties in maintaining interpersonal relationships for ppl who have it. E.g. A person w/ ADHD might literally forget to talk to/spend time with a friend of theirs for 2 months because they got busy with work or got really in to a new game or what have you, and once they contact the friend again, the friend might act weird or upset and think they were being ignored/forgotten, while the person with ADHD will be acting like nothing's changed bc of the way they perceive time and will be thinking "what? didn't I just talk to you like last week?"

So when you wonder "why didn't Ladybug consider how Chat Noir might feel after doing XYZ" -> It's not because she's inconsiderate or doesn't care abt him, but its bc she's so wrapped up in everything else she has going on and is so Deep In Her Own Head that it slipped her attention. So in Hack San, Marinette being surprised when Alya tells her to go talk to Chat Noir would be partially because she doesn't really know just how much she means to him or the fact that he has abandonment issues, and partially because she was so wrapped up in making sure the role of Ladybug was covered for that day and planning for every possible issue that could arise (the 749282 tips she sent Alya) that it completely slipped her mind. Ladybug's focus is on solving the problem in front of her, and when it comes to Akumas she doesn't care Who takes care of it as long as it gets done quickly. In Ephemeral when she's fighting Moolak she thinks "Need to Defeat Moolak -> Need Chat Noir -> No Chat Noir -> Call Nine Other Heroes -> Moolak Defeated -> Mission Accomplished." That's it. She doesn't even make a fuss about it when he apologizes abt it on the Eiffel Tower later that night, she's just like "oh yeah that, its no big deal dont worry abt it." To her it's simple: of course she doesn't think any less of Chat Noir when he's not useful to a battle, he's her partner and her friend no matter what, that should be obvious. She didn't think less of him for a second during that fight, so it doesn't occur to her that he might have thought she did. It's that whole ADHD lack of object permanence thing - "I didn't see it therefore it doesn't exist." She's also not good at getting in to other people's heads because she's deep in her own, and she's too preoccupied with all the Guardian business to stop and remember to consider things like "maybe I should check in with him to make sure." And the whole bad sense of time + stupid sense of object permanence that comes w/ ADHD would manifest as Chat Noir being depressed thinking "we haven't done a patrol together/defeated an akuma as just a duo in a long time..." while Ladybug would be thinking "I thought we just did a patrol? Like last Wednesday" "That was 6 weeks ago." "....It was????"

Anyway idk where I'm going with this I love our ADHD disaster bug and she loves her kitten and they just need to talk and hug

"Why hasn't anyone actually tried to find Hawkmoth?? Where is the plot progression??? Félix accomplished more in one episode than our heroes have in four seasons!!1!1" Bro Hawkmoth is just here to enable our superhero romance. I'd watch ladynoir fighting the villain of the week while bonding and flirting for 200 episodes straight. I'd watch a whole hour-long slice of life episode of them patrolling and nothing else. I'd watch 50 more episodes where the solution is "ohhHhHH nOOoO I have to PRETEND to be IN LOVE with Chat Noir AGAIN and KISS HIM TENDERLY I can't BELIEVE this" and I'd love every stupid moment of it. I'd watch ladynoir cooking together on a youtube livestream for 3 hours straight. rip to you and your """plot""" but i'm different

Félix: I discovered your nemesis' identity within an hour of showing up here, what have YOU accomplished?

Ladybug: ???? That boomer exists to give me an excuse to be in constant close physical contact with Chat Noir and flirt with him and go on daily patrol dates with him and kiss him and gaze tenderly in to his eyes and hold his hands while vehemently denying any romantic feelings for him are you new here

“What The Hell Happened To urfaveisunfuckable?”

as compiled, and experienced, by me, who you might better remember as mod sunny (or brickell)

-Rhys, head admin and creator of the blog, started an NFT solo project at some point. I am unsure of when

-After cycling through a few mods, friends and friends of friends, Rhys opens applications for becoming a mod. I apply, and am accepted.

-Shortly into working on the blog, Rhys brings up his interest in NFTs in our private discord server. Generally, they are supportive. I am not involved in this conversations, but I am aware of them

-Eventually, citing peer pressure and environmental impact, Rhys abandons his NFT project, but not before, according to him, selling one of these NFTs for $300

-Months later, we get an ask on the blog asking “was rhys going to do NFTs or did i dream that”, I respond “definately dreamt it. what the hell”. This is just a summary, so I’m not going to fight for my stance here. But I am glad the lie got caught

-A second ask comes in “rhys you have to promise us you’ll never do NFTs” which I also answer, since possible drama usually fell on me to clear up. This was the spark to the powder keg.

-The post is reblogged with insider screenshots, later found out to be sourced from mod Ruby who adds more screenshots.

-After sending the callout to the mod server, I realise nothing is going to get done about all this and I quit

-The callout is reblogged to the blog multiple times, by who is unknown

-Events spiral from here, more comprehensive documentation of Rhys’ with NFTs is revealed, as is an old instagram of his (I have receieved conflicting accounts of what happened here so I’m going to leave it out)

-Rhys handles the callout poorly on the blog, fuelling the flames before logging off.

-The blog continues to struggle on in a perpetual state of collapse, Ruby fucking around while the other mods (poorly) attempt to perform damage control.

-Finally things reach a standstill and it’s decided the blog will be deleted once and for all

-This takes a while, since tumblr’s group blog system is weird, but as of writing this it has been done

and that’s what happened.

hey, this is maxine like a day or so after this post was made. consider this a sort of addendum, patching up the pieces i previously missed out. there’s only one real piece to patch and that pertains to rhys’ old instagram. this is the most important part of all of this, not the NFTs, not the interpersonal drama, but the fact that it has come to light that rhys is a repeated serial abuser. he has done this multiple times and shows no signs of change. there are no jokes to me made about this part, this is the serious facts of the matter that i felt was important to add. thank you.

this is the only post about this im going to reblog because i want it to be clear that while this started as “haha funny blog gets outed for nfts”, it turned into something way more harmful. actual people are behind this, and actual people have been harmed by the creator. it’s not just a funny tumblr drama anymore, it’s a case of a serial abuser having a platform and using said platform and “tumblr fame” to cover up past shit he did. when it was brought up, instead of apologizing or clearing things up, he made jokes about being an abuser, and made light of a situation that certainly shouldn’t have been made light of.

To the side of the body of text are an image of a pre-Disney Winnie The Pooh plush in a red shirt and an image of part of a circle with a pre-Disney Winnie the Pooh sitting on a chair with his hand in a honey jar, while wearing a red shirt.

The body of text reads:

"1/2/22 8:59am

LOS ANGELES — Explaining that casually dropping the little-known fact into conversations 'never gets old,' local researcher Garrett Gilchrist told reporters Monday he always gets a bit of a rush from informing others that Walt Disney's 1960s animated films did noy invent the design of the red-shirted Winnie-the-Pooh. 'Seeing the looks of confusion on people’s faces after I mention that this trait is arguably already present in EH Shepard's black and white illustrations in 1924 and 1926, and undeniably present in Stephen Sleisinger's merchandising artwork in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, is just such a treat,' said Gilchrist, who reportedly derives a measure of satisfaction from planting the idea in the minds of his acquaintances, coworkers, and even strangers at social gatherings that Disney should not be suing over any familiar aspect of the Winnie the Pooh character, that this is a major win for the public, and that the public needs to fight Disney on this point for the concept of the public domain itself . 'I’m always listening for someone to make a comment about Winnie the Pooh's public domain status as of 2022, and when it happens, I’m ready to jump in and say it. It’s always a nice little thrill.' Gilchrist added that if people were already aware of this, he also delights in stating that Richard Williams' perfectionism when making The Thief and the Cobbler has been overstated for comedic reasons, and that Williams was on schedule to complete the film if given another six months to a year of production time."

Undocked unrestrained

The reason most farmers dock (cut off) the tails is to prevent fly strike, an often lethal infection of fly larvae in the rear of the sheep. Without a (VERY FLUFFY) tail for fecal matter to accumulate on, fly strike is almost completely eliminated!

there is a wide variety of similar treatments for farm animals that are entirely for the animals well being pigs get their tail curled and tusks removed as babies so they dont accidentally nip each other while playing or stab each other just walking around- even a small tail nip might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood goats/cows often have their horns removed as babies as well both for obvious reasons to prevent stabbings but also to prevent them from growing in weird that can cause pain and infection for the animal chickens and other poultry, especially pet ones or hobby farms, might have their flight feathers clipped to prevent them from flying over fences, where their life expectancy is nill outside the farm/owners enclosure

Very good and valid points but please tell me what you mean by “might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood” before I lose my marbles

Pigs are omnivores and cannibals. Fun fact if you ever have need to dispose of a body, tossing it in a pigpen will get rid of it real fast.

Anonymous asked:

I always wondered why Marinette tried to learn Mandarin when her uncle visited. The show clearly states that her family is from Shanghai, and they don't speak Mandarin there: they speak Shanghainese. The languages are related, but it's unreal how different they are: for example, Mandarin has four tones, while Shanghainese tosses tone out the window and has a pitch accent system. It's fascinating stuff, but it further demonstrates how people don't recognize (1/2)

On one hand, I can kind of understand what they’re trying to go with here by showing Marinette’s disconnect from her Shanghai culture. I have Irish and German ancestry, and I feel like I know more about my Irish heritage than my German heritage, mainly thanks to my mom and grandpa, who knew about certain aspects of Irish culture, while I never really get to see the only relative I have on my German side who’s fluent in the language compared to my dad.

I also know nothing about Chinese culture outside of some of the stuff I learned about their history in school and from some of the cartoons that taught me basic Chinese ideologies, like Kung Fu Panda and Xiaolin Showdown, so I don’t really know much about how much this show’s screwed up Chinese representation other than the “How did nobody see this as stereotypical?” moments, so I really appreciate the little lesson on the Shanghaiese and Mandarin languages and how the show got both of them wrong

On the other hand, it’s strange that Sabine, someone who was established to know a lot about her heritage given she’s from Shanghai, didn’t even bother to teach Marinette about the culture and instead decided to save up money to send her on a trip to Shanghai on the off chance she actually asked to learn more about her mother’s side of the family. 

Like, seriously? You didn’t even try to bake any food from Shanghai to teach her? You didn’t even try to teach her some of the language? You didn’t even try to teach her about your home’s fashion even though Shanghai is a city known for being a big place for fashion?

If Marinette was just never interested in learning about her heritage, I could have bought it, but the first episode to bring up how little she knows about it, “Kung Food”, showed how embarrassed she was that she didn’t know much, and once again, needed to have her own damn culture explained to her by a white guy learning the language himself.

There are so many recent cartoons and animated movies that feature characters with various heritages that do more with their respective cultures than Miraculous Ladybug has done in years. There’s Soul, Coco, Moana, LucaHair Love (it’s only a short film, but goddamn, does it feel like it actually earned its Oscar for once), Amphibia, The Owl House, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Let’s Go LunaMolly of Denali, and most recently, Encanto. All of these feature characters with differing races and cultures, take time to teach kids about certain cultural touchstones occasional issues associated with said races and cultures, while also giving kids of those races characters they can relate to more than something about a white character.

Miraculous Ladybug clearly wants to be one of these shows with how much Astruc prides his work for being inclusive, and while we don’t know if it’s the result of executives saying Marinette needed to be less Chinese in order for the show to be more marketable, or if the writers just didn’t do enough research, but the show simply fails to take advantage of Marinette’s heritage compared to some of the characters in the works I mentioned above, and only tries to do so when there’s an opportunity to teach Marinette about her own culture.

you know the big problem with detective fiction nowadays is that all the detectives are fucking cops

like acab obviously but apart from that they're simply boring as hell. fuck off with your crime solving you're literally just doing your stupid job. the only people who should be solving fictional crimes are civilian vigilantes. little old ladies, short dithery priests, upper class twits with ptsd from world war one, well-heeled young ladies accidentally named after famous courtesans, etc.

neurodivergent private investigators can stay but you're on thin fucking ice

It’s because detective fiction is no longer detective fiction, it’s copaganda. Like the artistic merits of the crime fiction/mystery/hard boiled genre have mostly been cast aside in favor of plots and characters designed to exaggerate and romanticize the importance of the police force to the smooth functioning of society

Thanks for the upper class twits representation OP , I owe you

Detective fiction then: the cops hate them because people go to them when the cops refuse to help for some objective reason

Detective fiction now: a cop breaks 30 laws to prove a person is guilty and faces no repercussions because of it
