I Just Think That The Double Standard With How Everyone (and I'm Not Just Talking Ab The West Btw) Has

i just think that the double standard with how everyone (and i'm not just talking ab the west btw) has treated the ukraine invasion vs issues literally anywhere else. and no i'm not just talking about the straight up racist journalists (although that was also . whew ! shocked but not surprised) but rather how it seems that this time around, everyone seems to understand that you can't 'separate business / art from politics'. remember when a muslim soccer player spoke up against the atrocities that the chinese government perpetuates against the uyghur muslims and then arsenal terminated his contract because they are 'apolitical as an organization'? and yet manchester united players standing up for ukraine have been applauded for it. remember when iceland held up the palestine flag during eurovision as a show of solidarity and they were fined 5000 euros for it? and yet russia is banned from this year's contest.

and i know white people are going to misunderstand this on purpose, so i'm just stating this upfront: i completely support ukraine, and i think it's important that russia is shown, on a world platform, that they cannot get away with the invasion of a sovereign state. but the fact that suddenly, mixing politics with sport, business and art has become the new normal and socially acceptable because it's europe and the west and not filthy violent brown people is just too ironic for me to not point out. and btw if anyone starts talking about the 'oppression olympics' or wtv to discredit the very real differences between the treatment of white & brown people on a global level and the dehumanization of asians i will smash your head into a brick wall.

The way this one hug is reminiscent of so many of the moments they shared together

From this

To this:

“Just you and me?”

"Just you, and me. And all of Paris.”

something something about how ladybug may be paris' hero but chat noir is constantly ladybug's hero

notice how when everyone else had fallen adrien was still fighting

this boy is a hero inside and out and like this is not even out of the blue. in origins he was the catalyst for ladybug becoming the hero she is. in heroes day he was the one telling ladybug that they will never lose as long as they're together. in miraculer he kept fighting with broken ribs and saved the bee miraculous while he was at it. and now he keeps on throwing himself at strike back, even when he gets knocked out and thrown on his behind. his love for ladybug never wavered even when he was angry with her. he keeps telling her and everyone else that they can keep on going. adrien agreste is at his most feminine coded when he keeps on being a symbol for hope, despite having the most reasons of any character in this entire show to not have any.

They just set up so much stuff for those to to now beat back solo.  

I worried I was going to be worried.  And I am, since they still have so much on their shoulders and Ladybug really just almost had a full breakdown there.

But I also have hope.  

Hawkmoth’s biggest weakness is their strength.  His focus is wholly selfish.  He wants the end of the world.  The rest of the team, the rest of the city, might not have powers, but they do have faith in Ladybug and Chat Noir.  And they will do almost anything to help them succeed.

Most of all, it is the layers of love and trust there, keeping Ladybug and Chat Noir protecting one another as they literally scratch and claw to get every single one back.
