The Best Comical Relief Ever

the best comical relief ever

just a bunch of photos of adrien making heart eyes at marinette

basically the first time they every make eye contact (look how soft he is for her we are off to a great start frens)

that ole “just a friend” look, making its glorious debut

when she wins the hat design contest

amidst all his over-the-top flirting in this scene he actually looks really soft for her right here when he says “you get to be my ladybug” 

when he is so impressed with her mad gaming skillz

“YOU’RE AMAZING, MARINETTE,” he says while gazing dreamily at her

he is so freaking soft for her during this entire scene of riposte

i mean he seems so happy just to see her walking up

when he gets the idea to show mari the surprise he had prepared for ladybug JUST to cheer her up when she was sad (even though he was feeling heartbroken at the time!!!)

LOOK HOW SWEET THIS IS sakfjadsl;kfjas; im sorry, i’m marichat trash

when she saves him from the paparazzi. there’s no one i’d rather be hiding in a fountain with than you, marinette, he thinks (probably)

“i’m so sorry i got you in this crazy mess, marinette” (except not really, because u real cute dang girl. also i’m about to show you how i carry around a gift you gave me literally everywhere i go but don’t read into it it’s just bc i adore you)

aw she’s so cute when she says she’s scared of scary movies

when she makes a really thoughtful gift for miss bustier he goes “awwwwww” and actually clutCHES HIS HEART

when he’s ON A DATE WITH ANOTHER GIRL

when he is SO EXCITED to see her on TV (when jagged is filming at the bakery in troublemaker)

when she throws a party to celebrate chloe/queen bee even tho chloe is mean to her all the time and he looks so proud and touched

when she kisses him on the cheek at the heroes’ day party

Literal. Heart. Eyes.

no one should look this soft when their dorky friend gets caught acting like a FOOL pretending to be some dude named “marino” to crash their guys-only party and YET 

AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON OBLIVIO!!!!

“i couldn’t hide my identity from the girl i love”

“no wonder i fell in love with you”

“i don’t need any memory to know that i love that girl”

ALKSJFALKSF;ASDJ;

maybe y’all don’t think oblivio counts but it DOES because this is his NATURAL, CLEAN-SLATE self being 1000% mad in love with marinette. if there were no barriers. this is how freaking head over heels he would be. bye.

in puppeteer 2 literally 2 seconds after he’s told her he’s in love with another girl he looks at her like this……ok boi

SHE JUST YAWNED AND HE LOOKS AT HER LIKE THIS I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND HE WANTED IT U CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

LIKE, HE HAS HEART EYES IN HIS SLEEP

AND THE MOTHER OF ALL HEART-EYES MOMENTS

(ps i stole this gifset from here)

IN CONCLUSION, ADRIEN AGRESTE IS DEFINITELY FALLING FOR MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG, AND IF YOU DON’T AGREE, A) YOU’RE BLIND AND B) U CAN FITE ME

there’s probably more so please feel free to add!!!

little things I love about north and south (2004)

I know we all love the train scene and the “look back at me” scene and john and margaret’s character growth and dozens of other memorable moments but this miniseries has so many wonderful asides I wanted to mention a few:

1. HANDS! HANDS! SO MANY HANDS! the best hands.

because honestly, if there’s one thing this period drama excels at it’s the PINING.

2. those shots of margaret and john sleeping at their desks

3. alll the letters that margaret and edith write to each other.

letter writing was an important aspect of female relationships (among women who could read and write) and I like that their letters are the narrator’s voice.

4. was it normal for men to travel with open collars in 1855? asking for a friend.

5. how margaret is allowed to be tired. 

she’s busy, okay? she’s washing curtains and helping her mother and father and smuggling her brother into the country and attending parties and making friends with union members. girl deserves that nap.

6. thornton’s complete lack of chill whenever margaret shows up

margaret: your mother has kindly given me the name of a doctor. john: you’re ill?!

beeeeee cool soda pop. for the record, for a 19th century hard-nosed manufacturer this face is the equivalent of “GOD PLEASE GOD NO” from michael scott.

7. the soft implication of john keeping his mother and sister in comfort while he pursues education as an adult -

because of the hardship they went through when his father died :(

8. nicholas “number one john/margaret shipper” higgins

thornton: was miss hale the woman who told you to come to me? you might have said. higgins: and you’d have been a bit more civil?

you cheeky bastard.

but let’s not forget “ohhhh yes, she has a brother, he was here, ah, just about that time the mother was dying, ah yes, very secret, hush hush, she had to smuggle him out, just thought you’d like to know for nooooo reason whatsoever” I mean come on nicholas, be more transparent :D

obviously he’s not on board episodes 1-3 what with the whole union strike but boy by episode 4, higgins has two missions - feed boucher’s children and get his OTP together. and he gets both done.

9. on a related note - how all of john’s friends and family are just like “dude, come on. come on. be more obvious. we dare you.”

or, if you’re john’s mother oh god no not this again. “if you would let us alone, perhaps we might see her merits and like her.” damn lady. exactly how much does john talk about margaret hale???

10. this is a sad one but - margaret giving bessy some of her old handkerchiefs and bessy holding one in her dying clasp, my emotions

11. margaret’s absolute exhaustion at men proposing marriage to her.

“oh not this again.”

12. the grudging respect margaret and mrs. thornton develop for each other

“you once accused me of not knowing what kind of man I’d rejected. you were right. but if you think I’ve come to triumph over him, that I do not feel keenly the misfortune of this empty place, then you don’t know me at all.”

also check out how their dresses are almost identical in their last shot together. they’re finally on the same page.

13. the entire framing of john and margaret as hades and persephone, and how margaret chooses to go back north, away from the spring.

she goes from “I believe I’ve seen hell. and it’s white. it’s snow white.” to “I have a business proposition.” persephone chooses “hell” and I love it.

The things I'd do for a marichat scene right now

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, FELIX

I don’t feel like being a superhero tonight, And I also don’t feel like being alone tonight.
