This Is Why I Prefer An Au Narrative Of "Oh, Gabriel Was Manipulated By Grief And Someone Else Into Doing

This is why I prefer an au narrative of "Oh, Gabriel was manipulated by grief and someone else into doing so much evil". At least it means there's an overarching villain we're not aware of, someone you can face in Season 6. TA should've just let this dumpster fire end at Season 5, but guess he needs it to burn a little bit longer.

I can see TA tries to make LIla/Ceries/WhateverThisBitchName as "briliant, mysterious" psychopathic mastermind to excuse marinette irrational hatred not merely because she try to steal "her precious" Adrien by turn her into PG-13 version of Leena Klammer.

If they keep this shit, I will not surprise if they make Lila is a "grow-up paed00 midget woman who hunt a handsome boy" to excuse why they will not give a redemption for Lila, and make her a "brilliant master manipulator" and dangerous than gabriel

It feels like the writers had no idea who to make the next villain, eventually settled on Lila, but realized they needed to find a way to make her more interesting and mysterious in order to draw intrigue for next season. It's just that they chose to do something completely absurd and hoped audiences would buy it.

Outside of the whole "fake identities" thing, we know nothing about Lila as a person, why she hates Marinette and Ladybug for such petty reasons, what she even wants to do besides mooch off famous people, or who she really is. The writers just hope the idea of a mystery will be enough to sell Lila as the next main villain.

For a show heavily influenced by Spider-Man, they basically turned Lila into their own Judas Traveller, a character designed to be mysterious and compelling with no actual plan for what his backstory was.

That's the best part of writing, when your character comes to life and starts telling you about their lives.

When your characters just start revealing lore you didn't know about them, as you're writing them

Thanks imma use dis

How to avoid character inconsistency in your writing

Set your character boundaries:

What's the background?

What's your character's backstory?

What are their traits, and how do they portray them?

Know what keeps your characters motivated. (Are they reaching their goal?)

You can avoid quick shifting of scenes. Let your readers absorb the setting of the scene.

Ensure that their actions and decisions align with their development and growth.

Tip 1: Start your chapter with a scene or dialogue that comes back at the end, which helps maintain consistency.

Tip 2: Throughout the chapter avoid the fast pacing of the story, rather let the characters express themselves so that it's clear for the readers.

Consider how your characters react to situations that are hard to convey. (Do they feel nervous? Scared? Fearless?)

Dialogue writing is crucial in explaining your character's personality while writing a story.

This process requires lots of re-reading and writing, fixing character holes and rewriting character arcs.

I thought I was writing in my early teens. My mom clocked me as a writer at 7-8. She tends to not remember stuff, but apparently, she remembers that lol

”oh so how did you get into writing?-“ no, writing got into me. Actually it infiltrated my brain, starting with the slow takeover of my room with books to the extremely fast claiming of my notes app and now there’s no way to stop it and no way for me to stop.

I hate that I can vividly imagine all of this....

and now that season 5 is finished…

What are the bad writing decisions, you can predict for season 6 ?

just for laughs

Off the top of my head, I'd say

Marinette won't feel guilty about hiding the truth from Adrien at all.

Adrien will learn the truth about his father from Lila, but he won't hold Marinette accountable because he thinks that he was still a good person or because Marinette "Did it out of love".

Lila will create some new kind of Akuma that's supposedly meant to be more powerful, yet more often than not, it's just used on the same targets (Mr. Pigeon, Gigantitan, Glaciator, etc.).

A good chunk of Ladybug's team (seriously, it's been five seasons and we don't have an official name for this?) will be busy overseas for very mundane reasons and can't be bothered to come back and help Ladybug until the finale.

Either that, or Lila manages to recruit some of the temp heroes to her side so we can have another Battle of the Miraculous.

We'll get a new disabled character or a character who's a person of color, and while Astruc will boast about how inclusive this makes his show, they'll only appear for an episode or two at most.

Me: omg so cringe need to throw it away

Also me: i can't i can still use it and make it better
