This Is So Cool And Really Interesting!
This is so cool and really interesting!
The English name âCatwalkerâ is nice and it works, but now I prefer/like the more clever original French name âVelvet Pawsâ due to what @little-mari-on-a-roof said above. I understand why the name would not translate the best for those who are unfamiliar with the saying.
Iâm still going to refer to Adrienâs short lived persona as âCat Walkerâ because that is how he is more popularly known in the English MLB fandom and the fist name I associate when I think about him.
I want to join the French âMiraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noirâ fandom too but I donât understand French well and Google Translate can only get me so far.
Today the french dub for Kuro Neko came out and it turns out that catwalker's original name is Patte de velours, lit. "velvet paw" and I really love it so here's a little explanation of the name :))
In french, the saying "patte de velours" means to retract one's claws (when talking about a cat) or to hide one's true intentions beneath a friendly and kind exterior. Which is pretty much what Adrien does in the episode. His claws are physically less sharp, he refrains himself and he acts all perfect to get ladybug to like the new him.
And just like catwalker, it also hints (but in a way more subtle way) to Adrien's involvement in the fashion industry because of the word "velours"!

These people who are raising voice against war and human rights violation atm are the same who turn their eyes blind and become mute spectators when it comes to Palestine, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Bosnia, Burma Kashmir and etc.

Extremely frustrating as Palestinians watching the world stand in solidarity with The Ukraine and suddenly knowing how to use the word occupation.

dropping this here

and this one too. they let refugees fleeing a different war freeze to death in the middle of winter while the world turned a blind eye at the frozen corpses of children who were denied asylum and died because of it. this was happening as of two months ago as well, itâs not old news
i stand with ukraine, obviously.
i also stand with those who are calling out the blatant hypocrisy in how others in the same situation were treated, as well as those who are rightfully upset in the worldâs support of and reaction to of one group of people but not others who have faced the same and much worse.
and before anyone jumps on this with âomg not appropriate right nowâ or âstop comparing the twoâ, itâs entirely possible to stand with ukraine and the russians who are protesting the russian govt, while at the same time acknowledging that the worldâs eurocentric response to this situation is extremely different to the response it gives other countries in places the western world declares are âbackwardâ, and âuncivilizedâ
âonly karens ask for refundsâ is pro-corporation propaganda. if they donât give me what i want theyâre giving me my money back and that doesnât make me an angry middle-aged karen harpy, youâre just cucked by stupid reddit memes
No, but seriously, that doesn't make any sense.
Sentimonsters don't have free will when someone is holding their amok. They can't resist or talk back or disobey the way Adrien has been doing since the literal canonical start of the series.
Hell, the first time Adrien tried to run away to school Gabriel explicitly told him not to do that again. And what did Adrien do? He disobeyed.
The only other sentimonster that even attempted to resist was Feast and it could only do that because it's amok was in it's stomach. Touching the damn thing wouldn't make a sentimonster more obedient when you're already holding their "free will" in the palm of your hand. Gabriel fiddles with the ring because it's a physical representation of his obsession with Emilie.
Why wouldn't Adrien follow Gabriel when called? He's Adrien's father sperm donor and this is probably the most Gabriel has talked to him since Glaciator 2.
And Adrien being a sentimonster is literally contradicted by Chat Blanc not listening to Gabriel when he ordered Adrien to ash Ladybug.
Also, I won't be acknowledging tweets from creators that have trolled the fandom for literal years.
(No, I will not be taking constructive criticism at this time.)
