Here's a few that I started to say because I thought they were funny so I was more likely to use them!
unforch :)
"I am about to become the joker" is one of mine
some more to add to the list
and my personal favorite
I will say. Yeah, ML fandom fans can be insufferable and have horrible takes, BUT at least it gave rise to like. A large subgroup of people with really decent critical thinking skills who got sick of all that. I do miss back when I could actually read something intelligible, like a completely unbiased analysis using actual canon material, while I just sit and throw cursed posts down.
I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
I find it combination kinda funny kinda sad
Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”
The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”
Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”
Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”
Me: “Oh….well…thanks”
Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”
dude did you seriously just put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up?
I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.
High fives all around, friends. If we’ve accomplished nothing else today, we still have this.
I feel the need to add this
Death Of The Author is out, Bullying Of The Author Out Of A Forum About Their Own Work is in
Still obsessed with Arthur Conan Doyle’s letter to Bram Stoker gushing about how wonderful a book Dracula is, but particularly how it makes such a good template for leaving fic comments, so I’m gonna to a BREAKDOWN:
Next time you don’t know what to say on a fic you enjoyed, just use the ACD method~
[A very shaky gif that shows Nadia Chamak leaning out the door of a helicopter, with an Akuma fight going on in the background that is very out of focus, saying, “Looks like Ladybug and Chat Noir are struggling today!” the camera zooms in on Ladybug and Chat Noir, bringing them into focus to show that Chat Noir is lounging very casually, his legs crossed and outstretched in front of him, leaning back on one hand while the other rests his baton across his shoulders.
His ears are up, indicating he is not hurt or in distress, and he is looking at Ladybug, who is crouched in front of him, spinning her yoyo to create a shield to protect both of them from the purple projectiles the Akuma has been repeatedly firing at them since the whole scene began.
She is crouched on one knee, turning her head away from the Akuma to say to Chat Noir, angry and annoyed, and it is obvious from the way she speaks that the camera is only picking up the tail end of a conversation, “–and stop calling us a couple!
[The camera skips forward a few seconds, to show Chat Noir bouncing through somersaults around the Akuma, moving slower than he usually does. He gets hit by one of the projectiles, and falls to one knee, his baton falling out of his hand. Nadia narrates, The Battle against Oblivio continues. Oh, no! Chat Noir has been hit!” not a moment after Chat Noir stumbles, Ladybug’s yoyo iis wrapping around his waist and pulling him backwards, away from the Akuma, leaving his baton behind on the ground. Nadia narrates, “But Ladybug pulls him out of danger.” Ladybug drags Chat Noir safely into an open elevator, before running inside herself.
[The camera has zoomed to follow Ladybug, where she is doing something to the elevator wall just inside the door, that the camera can’t see from its angle. Many projectiles hit the walls around and inside the elevator as Ladybug works. Nadia wonders, “What is she doing?” then one of the projectiles suddenly hits Ladybug in the side, and Nadia gasps as the hero falls backwards into the elevator just as the doors shut, “Ladybug is down too!”
—-Later, after they get their memories back and have defeated Oblivio—-
[the camera shows Ladybug and Chat Noir standing next to eachother, just after she has performed her Miraculous Ladybug. They have just been informed that they have already defeated the Akuma. They do not remember anything from after they got hit.
Adrien leans towards Ladybug, smiling, with his arms crossed over his chest, and continues the conversation they were having before right where it left off, “We do make a good couple, don’t you think? Otherwise we wouldn’t have won again like we always do!”]
[Marinette face palms as Chat Noir leans back to a normal position, then clicks her fingers together (like that meme of the person standing and explaining something to the person on the sofa) as she says, narrowing her eyes in annoyance, “Ugh! We’re a team, not a couple!”]
[She throws her hands out to the side to emphasize her point, then leans away from him and crosses her arms over her chest, keeping her face towards him and she continues, “Don’t start that again! I’ve already told you I’m in love with another boy!”]
[She unfolds her arms so that she can gesture at the ground with one hand to emphasize her point as she says, “Besides, your charming kitty act was the reason we became distracted and got into all this trouble in the first place!” She sounds resigned as she says, “That’s right, laugh all you want.”]
[In a gif not shown here because I hit the limit for images in a single post, Adrien leans forward and reaches out with one hand for Ladybug’s face. Marinette says, uncertain and confused, “Hey! What are you…doing…?” as he turns her by the chin to face Alya. She trails off as her eyes widen.]
[The camera turns to show Alya holding up her phone, with a picture of Ladybug and Chat Noir kissing and holding hands displayed for the both of them to see. She is smiling as she points to the picture]
[in a gif not shown here because of the image limit, Marinette’s face upon seeing the picture is wide-eyed shock and dismay, her mouth halfway open and in a grimace, her pupils and irises contracted to show her horror. Adrien’s grin takes up most of his face, his eyes are wide with glee, and he is leaning forward excitedly. Everything about her expression reads horror and dismay. Everything about his expression reads as excited and gleeful]
[Ladybug draws back away from the picture abruptly, and clasps her hands infront of her in horror and she exclaims, “Everyone saw that? This is a disaster! What on Earth happened?!” She throws her head down into her hands and shakes her head]
[”Well, one thing’s for sure!” Chat Noir says, and Ladybug pulls her head out of her hands just enough to glare up at him as he continues, “We’d make a good-looking couple! We’re meant for each other, milady, you’re the only one who doesn’t see it!” as he speaks, he tilts head head back and smiles at her, not seeming to care that she is angry]
[In yet another gif not shown here (tumblr let us have more pictures in a single post 2k19) Marinette glares at him, but is stopped from retorting by her earrings beeping, signalling that she has sixty seconds before she transforms back. She pulls her yoyo from her waist, says angrily, “This conversation is NOT over!” and uses her yoyo to swing away before her identity is revealed.
She has told him a million times that she does not like his behavior and she wants him to stop.
Every single time he ignores her. He purposefully ignores her.
He knows that his behavior upsets her. He knows that it makes her genuinely upset. He knows it makes her uncomfortable. He knows it makes her angry.
He knows.
He thinks its funny.
He’s doing it to purposefully upset her. Because he thinks it’s funny.
He knew she would be horrified about finding out they kissed.
He was laughing about it before she even saw it.
He is sexually harassing her and he doesn’t give a single shit about her feelings at all. He is forcing her to carry both their weights in battle and HE IS SHOVING ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE ONTO HER SHOULDERS.
He does not respect her safety.
He does not respect her feelings.
HE DOES NOT RESPECT HER CONSENT.
And all you Adrien stans saying he does? All you Adrien stans insisting he stops when she asks him to?
STOP PRETENDING HIS BEHAVIOR IS OKAY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHIP IT.
JUST BECAUSE YOU SHIP IT DOESN’T MEAN HE’S NOT SEXUALLY HARASSING HER AND CROSSING EVERY BOUNDARY SHE SETS AND VIOLATING HER CONSENT WITH EVERY SINGLE ACTION HE TAKES.
Ladybug deserves a partner that will help her protect their city. Ladybug deserves a partner who will pull their own weight and help her.
Marinette deserves a partner who respects her wishes and respects her feelings and RESPECTS HER CONSENT.
Adrien purposefully chooses to be neither of these things.
Stop pretending it’s not sexual harassment just because you fucking ship it.
(it is now okay to reblog this post. Please tag it with [flashing gif] because these gifs are annoying even ME)
Hi, how the fuck do you read this post and still come up with “well most of the time she doesn’t mind his flirting!”
She has literally never enjoyed his flirting. She is literally never welcomed his flirting. She has never consented to his flirting. There has not been a single time where he flirted with her and she was not made uncomfortable or asked him to stop.
Just because you ship it doesn’t mean it’s not sexual harassment. Just because you like the character doesn’t mean they’re a good person.

It boggles my mind when people say ‘well that’s just their dynamic’…
If anyone treated me like that, I sure as hell would not be their friend or interact with them on any level. Just because the show doesn’t acknowledge this horrible behavior doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t problematic af!
What really sucks to my mind. This show is marketed towards kids and teens. Guess what they are learning during this age? How to do relationships with other people. Friendships and romances. Hopefully this show isn’t the only or even best guidance from ‘society’ because of these messages it’s portraying. So let me ask the Adrien Stans: Is this the kind of relationship you want your sons and daughters/ nieces and nephews in?
You want them with someone who doesn’t respect their boundaries or their wishes? Cuz that’s what we’re gonna get unless people start talking about why it’s unhealthy. So instead of defending an abuser and harasser, how about demanding Adrien get some healthy character development that allows him to grow and be a model for healthy relationships?
It’s a bit concerning how I never think anything of Chat’s behavior before it’s pointed out to me. I genuinely believed this was normal before reading this post because it didn’t really set off any triggers or warning sings in my mind. It never even crossed my mind to think of this as harassment (and I’m not saying it’s not, because I know it is), maybe because of how relationships are portrayed in the media.
Same thing with Adrien’s behavior in Syren with his threat to give up the ring when he should have been helping Ladybug. I never thought anything of it until I kept seeing it pop up again and again and again in salt fics.
Things like this have become so normalized that I guess I’ve been hard-wired to brush these things off. It’d probably be different if it actually happened to me, but all the same it’s bad I couldn’t recognize it through a screen.
Same. I didn’t even realize how bad a lot of the characters behaviors are in the show until I started reading fanfics for Miraculous. That was only a couple months ago. My sister watches this show, and I looked at her screen to see what she was watching once. Now that I was actively looking for it and just aware of how bad Chat’s behavior towards Ladybug/Marinette is, it was painfully easy to see how UNCOMFORTABLE and RESENTFUL she was when Chat kept flirting with her, and trying to pressure her into something she DIDN’T WANT. He tried to kiss her hand and she pulled away. I remember her saying something along the lines of “Chat, I told you already.” She shouldn’t have to say that. She shouldn’t have to repeat herself. She should not have to physically BACK AWAY FROM and AVOID her supposed PARTNER!!! I’ve never understood why Fu picked Adrien to be Chat Noir. And I don’t think I ever will understand.
And u wanna know the worst part?
ALL OF THIS BULLSHIT THAT CHAT NOIR DID IS ACTUALLY OK BECAUSE (according to Astruc) iT’s ThE WoRlD tHaT’s FlAwEd, NoT hIm.
