Uncle Gabriels Been Working On Something Down In His Basement

one gifset per episode → truth

let me whisper one of the reasons ladrien and ladynoir make me go feral. a lot of fandom talks about marinette being unappreciated in her life and of course there’s the bane of my existence “true selves” but i think that fundamentally overlooks the fact that marinette is fucking adored and loved and well cared for by most of the people in her life. most people look at marinette and are like yes! that is someone to love!

meanwhile when she’s ladybug she has all this pressure and stress and burden that she carries but for everyone else she has to put on the face of strong and capable and able to take on anything. and of course paris loves a hero, of course paris loves their hero, but no one in the entire city knows or gets ladybug like chat noir. chat noir sees her at her lowest and worst and loves her for it. they push back at each other and support each other and ladybug is not just a figurehead but like the realest of real people to him. and so when ladybug comes to him whether he’s chat noir or adrien there’s this level of tenderness that just rips me apart like i’ll watch the last five minutes of strike back and lose my mind because we see ladybug devastated and panicking in adrien’s room while adrien works to calm her down and then we cut to chat noir reassuring her that they will fix this together and there’s nothing they can’t face and just… with him ladybug gets to fuck up and break down and he still loves her and maybe loves her more for it. idk this is not a comprehensive breakdown of why i think marinette as ladybug deserves love and recognition too or why seeing her at her alleged strongest being taken care of and loved and known intimately makes me so warm inside but i wanted to try and put it into words just a little bit.

Can we talk on how All Might never showed his true form to anyone until those ten months he spent with Izuku and where he is shown little by little to be more comfortable with showing his skinny form the more time he spends with Izuku?

Beloved, it makes me tear up at the thought that Yagi never meant to show his true form in the first place. But when his time ran out, despite being so secretive about his form, he decided to explain the situation to Izuku and trusted that this random ass fanboy (whose Pro Hero dreams had just shattered) won’t tattle on him. In that scene, he showed vulnerability before Izuku. Like, yes, he was having Izuku face the harsh truth, but he was also baring his soul to him!

And Izuku, at the end of the day when he was going to reconsider his career and before AM offered OFA, was going to keep the secret in his heart! And as time passes, Izuku took the role of All Might’s secret-keeper so seriously. I’m sure he felt like he was in an exclusive club or something 😂

I think All Might appreciated that, how he was able to expand the small pool of people with whom he could just be himself around. When was the last time he’d had a personal active connection with as Toshinori that isn’t his doctor or the principal or his detective co-worker? I think bonding with Izuku had helped All Might ease in with sharing the secret to some of the U.A. faculty too.

In Midoriya Izuku, Yagi Toshinori found a living proof of concept that someone will cheer him on despite appearing weak.

Imagine if Anya ever starts liking Damian back, she's gonna follow her Chichi's foot steps and develop her own version of "for the mission":

"For world peace"

It'll be her go to excuse to explain every bit of affection she throws his way.

Like, she sees him moping about his father not attending a school event? Yeah, this won't do! Syon boy can't be sad. It will get in the way of world peace!

Anya being invested in Damian's academic achievements and making sure to cheer him on the right path is only because he's going to grow up influential or whatever. She's just watching him every step of the way to make sure he doesn't end up like his evil father. Seeing him light up like a red light bulb every time she praises him is a good sign. Man, steering the world to peace is a lot of hard work, but it's nice to see the fruits of her labor is flourishing.

When his birthday or some other special occassion comes along, Anya *needs* to be the one to get him the best present. Because seeing him happy because of her gives her a good feeling. This is what world peace is all about.

Or if there's this other girl clinging onto Damian, she'll be like, this girl has to go. She only hangs around Syon boy cause of his evil superboss father. Becky, what do you mean I'm jealous? That girl is obviously gonna ruin world peace the longer she sticks with Syon boy!

And like Chichi, it'll take her a while to figure out how she really feels. Like father, like daughter.
