Please Reblog To Bring Attention To This.

Please reblog to bring attention to this.

I tried searching for a couple of text posts from a couple of months ago (all literally like from April or May) that I wanted to save now that I have an account, but so far, after a LONG time (started looking for them in early June), I was able to find only one of them.

I've tried looking for the other posts through various methods, both on tumblr and off it, yet I still can't find them.

I do not know if those posts can even show up in the tumblr search engine now because of their age.

How I went about trying to find the posts was putting in the appropriate tags that the post was most probable to be under and scrolling as far back as I can (under top and text) and checking the timestamps of some posts along the way to see if I had scrolled back too far. I would also find a blog that was somewhat dedicated to theories and analyses and search for the posts I wanted their blog to see if they had either authored the post or reblogged it. This is how I found one of the posts I was looking for.

Sometimes when I tried to search through tags and scroll back far, I was not allowed to scroll past a certain point (even though I know that tag had been used for years and still had a lot more posts on it).

Just please fix this tumblr.

Fix what I mentioned in the last paragraph of my post and allow us to use the search engine to be able to simultaneously search with tags and search about the text written on the actual post!

Also, give us a free, optional feature (that can be turned on and off) that allows us to be able to use the search engine to search for text found within a post!

I know it can already be done on someone's blog, but please try to make a feature that would work in a general search.

Can't believe Tumblr jumped to a paid subscription service before making a competent search feature

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.

I know people are sad that marinette support system is declining with her barely talk to her parents anymore and it is really saddening, but adrien support system is now nonexistence with nino just throw the secret out of window and it hit me harder because his support system is never been as huge as marinette and he just lost the last person he could potentially tell his secret at.

It really is sad for the both of them yeah..

The thing is, Marinette has all the resources of a good support system: she has good parents, has lots of good friends, has Alya, heck even has Chat Noir. But she choses to not use them or to distance herself from them (except for Alya - for now) because she doesn't think it's safe and is scared of so many things.

Adrien however does not have the resources Marinette has for a good support system. His home life don't offer him this chance (even more so when his family is literally the villains of the show), he has friends but less than Marinette and cannot see them as often at all, he doesn't have anyone knowing his identity and well, we can't really say he has Ladybug these days as she is distancing herself from him just like he's also distancing himself from her the more he doubts.

The difference as well is that Adrien never planned on telling his secret to someone (well, neither did Marinette but she had reached a point where it was impossible for her mentally to do so, except by being the guardian she's giving herself this option, while Chat Noir has been told repeatedly how secrets identities are important and he'd see that as himself betraying Ladybug's trust to do it, so it doesn't even consider it an option).

But yeah if he was to ever consider revealing himself to Nino, it's been kind of discarded for now because... Nino told him that 1. him and Alya had no secrets 2. he told Adrien their heroes identities which might not make him want to entrust Nino with his 3. he basically called Chat Noir annoying to his face... and that makes me very sad because it's a lot of a misunderstanding but it'll have big consequences

So anyway, I'm rambling (as I do lol) but it's hard to compare the two as they're in two very different situations, none of which are very enviable at the moment... and they're both getting more and more isolated

because you’re canonically really hot?

You know what, I am gonna say it. I’m not holding back anymore.

If Adrien is a Sentimonster, his life is worth less than the human characters’.

That’s not my opinion, that’s what the show literally tells us with every single episode with a Sentimonster in it.

The show kills Sentimonsters left and right, and the heroes aren’t concerned about this at all. The idea of a Sentimonster’s life being worth protecting has been brought up only because the Sentimonster in question looked just like a person who already existed. And even Sentibug got killed off casually. They got over her death very easily.

It doesn’t matter that the characters say Sentimonsters are real people. It doesn’t matter if the lore is that they’re just like real people. It doesn’t matter if the audience views the Sentimonsters as real people. The narrative doesn’t treat Sentimonsters as real people, because they are killed on-screen casually and constantly.

If Adrien was a Sentimonster,  him throwing his life away for Ladybug so thoughtlessly would be the right way for him to behave. Because Sentimonsters’ lives aren’t as worthy of being preserved as real people’s.
