sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if we’ve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall we’re done

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

So... about how Adrien refers to his father

So I was just thinking about Adrien's home life (as one does), and remembered the way he addresses Gabriel and how absolutely heartbreaking it is.

First of all, he uses "vous" (formal "you") when talking to him instead of "tu" (informal "you"). People only use "vous" when referring to teachers/strangers/etc., but never their parents.

(for a bit of context, Marinette uses "tu" to talk to her parents, and so do Chloé, Alix, Mylène, Luka, Juleka, and probably some other people that I'm not remembering now)

The only other people who use "vous" to refer to their parents in the show are Kagami and Félix (and Zoé when talking to André but that's just because he's her step-dad and they're not exactly close yet. Most children use "vous" to refer to adults who aren't related to them, unless they're extremely close).

To make things even worse, Adrien calls his father "Père" (Father) instead of "papa" (dad), but he called his mother "maman" (mom), as we can see in the episode Chat Blanc.

Again, the only other person who is that formal with their parents is Kagami, who calls her mom "Mère" (Mother).

Even Félix calls his mom "Maman," despite using "vous" to address her (so I assume that Adrien also used "vous" with his mom, which is still sad but I guess he was less formal with her than with Gabriel).

Something even sadder? In Chat Blanc, while Ladybug and Chat Noir were confronting Papillon, Chat Noir is using "tu" to talk to him, which shouldn't be used by children when talking to an adult that they're not close with because it shows how little respect they have for that person. So of course, Ladybug and Chat Noir are going to use "tu" with him.

However, the second that they find out it's Gabriel, Adrien immediately switches to using "vous," which, again, children only use with adults who they aren't close to nor related to. Literally the only reason you would use "vous" with a family member is because you're not close to them and/or are afraid of them (it's probably both for Adrien).

And can you believe that it gets even worse?

Here's a scene from the Climatika 2 (or Stormy Weather 2), directly translated from the French dub:

Adrien: *smiling widely* This photo shoot was awesome, dad!

Gabriel: *glares at him* Hm?

Adrien: *his expression changes immediately, he now looks really sad* Um... sorry, father. Uhh... It was very interesting.

So the only way I can interpret that is that Adrien used to call him "papa" in the past, and only started calling him "Père" recently. He accidentally slipped back into the old habit of calling him "papa," and Gabriel was able to correct him with just one glare.

So yeah anyway here's your daily reminder that Gabriel Agreste is a trash human being who doesn't deserve to be a father.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.
