Snow White: makes it look simple & easy

Me: BITCH YOU LIED TO ME HOW U GOT THE ARM STRENGTH TO ROLL THE DOUGH

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

And we know that if someone brings this up with Thomas Astruc, he'll just make up some BS about how they're pure evil anyway and chose to side with Hawkmoth (14-year-olds willfully choosing evil without outside influences, yeah right), therefore they're absolutely irredeemable.

Chloé was literally retconned into an evil hateful bitch with (apparently) no intelligence to speak of and is later shipped to an abusive mother, and Lila went from a girl desperate for an absent mother's attention to a grifting mastermind with several identities and three mothers whom she fooled brilliantly.

But no, Gabriel Agreste (who emotionally neglected his son, terrorized Paris for over a year, and falsely imprisoned his own child) is the sympathetic redeemable one, all because he has a good reason—which is debatable—to do it.

Yes. Logic.

It’s honestly disgusting how two teenagers, who’s downfalls were specifically orchestrated by Hawkmoth, who has targeted them, egged them on, preyed on their insecurities, and spied on them

Are worse than him somehow.

It’s weird how stans will get on Lila and Chloe’s case for “siding with Hawkmoth” (ignoring that this is an adult taking advantage of people’s negative emotions but okay), but willingly ignored Hawkmoth holding Chloe’s parents hostage, cornering her, and using her insecurities to get her to side with him, as well as him and Nathalie spying on Lila, purposefully trying to aggravate her with targeted messages and groom her into being an akuma victim.

Weird of the narrative (and the fandom by extension) to continuously hate these teenagers, ignoring all depth, background, and the adults surrounding them that may make them act the way they do, but will always show sympathy to the adult terrorist manipulating them because he has a dead wife.

I like that idea, of sentimonsters being more durable and not having real blood. By designing sentimonsters as basically not being like real people, it also separates the Peacock Miraculous from the Ladybug Miraculous, since I've seen posts before complaining that by having the Peacock Miraculous capable of creating flesh-and-blood creatures like Adrien, it's basically Creation, which makes no sense.

As for the dysphoria idea, it would've been cool if he had some identity crisis (yeah, I'm cruel) about whether or not his perceived perfection—handsome, smart, gifted—was his own achievements or something that came with being a sentimonster. That would've been interesting to see, and how would've been able to work through it.

Thomas Astruc claims that human-looking sentimonsters are human in every way except the way they were born, but I've seen some fics where they were more durable and didn't have real blood. Do you think that would give our poor cat boy serious body dysphoria, even if it came with some advantages?

Depends on how he was designed, I guess? Or how you want to write him.

I should mention that dysphoria isn't necessarily that logical. That's not a criticism of those who experience the different types of dysphoria by any means! I'm just saying that what triggers it isn't easy to guess. For example, I've heard first hand accounts of water bottle shapes and lipstick color triggering gender dysphoria. Because of that, Adrien may very well not be phased by things like his durability, but find other, seemingly random things triggering. Brains are tricky like that.

I'd highly recommend reading up on first hand accounts of dysphoria and euphoria before including this element in any writing assuming that you don't have dysphoria yourself.

Funnily enough, with a quick google search, one could easily find out how mayoral elections happen in Paris. One, you don't get to vote the mayor. You vote the city council, who in turn will vote the mayor.

So for Ms. Bustier to become mayor, she'd have to have been on the city council (which is a public election) and then compete with André on said city council to become mayor. Makes one wonder how TA butchered Parisian mayoral elections when one google search will get you all you need to know.

Saw the Mrs. Bustier ask- and even more unbelievable than her winning is them getting an election together so quickly. You're talking months, campaigns, organizing et al. THAT all has to happen even before she can BEGIN to make her changes(if we just assume she has the powers of a dictator like Andre did and not an actual elected official) The time frame is beyond compact to just plain silly. Not even fun silly, just 'you aren't even trying'.

Don't forget how Ms. Bustier did most of this after giving birth to her baby.

Now, I'm not a woman myself, but I'm pretty sure after carrying another human being in my body for almost a year, going into politics isn't something new mothers are supposed to do.
