Appreciation Post For Felix Being A Really Interesting Character Who, Despite Being Thecalm Collected

Appreciation post for Felix being a really interesting character who, despite being the “calm collected cool and confident” trope, shows a lot of signs of strong emotion that really humanize him and remind us that he’s still just a child caught up on all this bs like all the others

Him being legitimately terrified/traumatized: 

Easily startled/on edge all day:

His hesitance at accepting a miraculous (after Ladybug asks “can I trust you?”):

Very real excitement at seeing a kwami:

His sadness at seeing the sentimonsters get thrown into the sun:

I don’t know, moments like these just give Felix so much depth imo, he’s so interesting. 

I just saw the English dub of Strike Back

And

AND

I got really excited about that last scene.

Because while is Ladybug is talking with Chat Noir she apologizes for not listening to him, for lying to him, for keeping him at an arm's distance.

And then she says, "Every time you offered me a helping hand, I never took it."

Chat Noir’s response is not to berate her, yell at her, or blame her.

His response is to offer a helping hand again.

And Ladybug’s response is not to continue berating herself or pushing him away because she takes all the guilt and blame.

Her response is to finally take that helping hand.

They can be taught!

The lesson for this season really should be that Ladybug and Chat should trust each other completely, since no matter what, he's the one who always stays.

I literally love how in this arc she isn’t portrayed as this dumb brute of a woman who is supposed to be a super secret high level assassin (I know I’m over exaggerating a bit and this is a comedy story but still). Here she actually a well written character, as well as her arc and it actually feels like she is this high level deadly assassin (with a brain) that has found a solid reason to continue being in this assassin job and doing what she believes is right.

I love the Forger family so much but I had felt Yor was a kind of a weak link for me and hadn’t really been done justice with what she could have been and hadn’t really made sense how she could have continued being a super secret deadly assassin doing what she believes is right and have someone fall in love with her when she was portrayed as being dumb as a brick.

I know I sound harsh and I am being slightly harsher with my criticism than with how I really feel about her but I’m trying to get my point across.

Yor is questioning why she is continuing her job as assassin and it happened bc she has a family now 🥺🥺 she started it for her family and now thinking about not continuing since it can take her family away from her 🥺🥺 she is so full of love 💖

I’ve never seen so much emotion on marinettes face and its terrifying.

The breathing? The blush from crying?? The sheer and utter panic? all of it. its such a perfect scene that we NEEDED.
