I completely agree. Me too.

I know its a filler but it better be an excellent "filler" episode.

I have already spoken before a lot on and off Tumblr about what I want from Psychocomedian.

THERE’S DEFINITELY AN ADRIENETTE DEVELOPMENT EPISODE IN BETWEEN ALL THIS-

LIKE THE AMOUNT OF CLOSENESS. THE PLATONIC TEAMWORK. THE LACK OF BLUSHING/AWKWARDNESS BEING REPLACED BY SURPRISE/CASUALNESS EVEN IN A SUPPOSED ROMANTIC SCENE. WE’RE MISSING SOMETHING-

EPS 4, 5 AND 7…

WHICH ONE OF YOU IS IT?

The thing with the upcoming Ladynoir conflict is that it goes far beyond Chat Noir's feelings and place in the team. Likes yes, he's questioning his worth more and more as Chat Noir and if he really is that irreplaceable, that's for sure.

But the biggest problems it's currently creating is how dangerous the secrets between them are getting regarding their fight with Shadowmoth, and how it can be compared to Gabriel and Nathalie's team.

Because yes, it's mainly Gabriel, but he and Nathalie basically have no secrets (that we know of) between each other. They know each identities, Gabriel shares his worries and plans with Nathalie, she gives suggestions too and even come herself with plans that are pretty good (I'm thinking about Optigami and now Hack San). And even if at the end of the day, Gabriel always looses, he only needs one victory to win the war...and he's getting closer and closer to taking advantage of our heroes as time goes on.

Now regarding Ladybug and Chat Noir, it's not much their identities being a secret that is dangerous - while it would give them lots of strength, they're currently not ready and things are delicate that with Hawkmoth being Chat Noir's father. However, all the other secrets between them and their lack of communication... There's no way the Ladynoir conflict won't be noticed by Gabriel and taken advantage of, or risk having repercussions.

Lots of people are complaining about Marinette relying more on Alya than Chat Noir, and yes again it's gonna hurt Chat Noir but it's also not a mistake Marinette is making at all. No, the problem is that Chat Noir, as a permanent hero and bearer of one of the miraculous wanted by the villain, is not aware of major information that can compromise their advantage on Shadowmoth.

Hopefully before leaving to London, Marinette explained to him that she was gonna leave and that she's gonna entrust her miraculous to someone else will she's away. But if she hasn't, the fact that she didn't tell him someone knows her identity can be really dangerous because how can he trusts a new Ladybug coming out of nowhere? This is putting the battle against Hack San at high risks, moreover because this season sentimonsters taking the shape of people they know have been made to trick them. I'm very curious to see how it's gonna happen there. And tbh it was already borderline risky that he didn't know in Sentibubbler.

But more importantly, hiding Rena Furtive from Chat Noir is extremely dangerous. We already saw in Sentibubbler how him not knowing about Rena being a permanent holder could have been dangerous, even though it was avoided successfully, but here? If he doesn't know some illusions are on the field and if he accidentally reveals on battle an illusion, it could blow up the entire Rena Furtive cover to Hawkmoth. And that's super dangerous for the hero team (and for Alya, and for Marinette's identity and so on).

So yeah I'm rambling at this point but I'd be curious and excited if the show addresses it because to me, that's where Marinette's errors are regarding withholding information from Chat Noir 👀 and if this is gonna be acknowledged -or worse, happen- when the inevitable blow up occurs

This is gonna live in my head rent free what the FUCK

Our system is broken.  It is cruel.  It is dehumanizing, degrading, and it’s vile nature is so, so unnecessary.

We need universal healthcare today in America.  We needed it 40 years ago.  It’s cheaper, it’s simpler, it’s more efficient, it’s more effective and it is so, so, so much less cruel than what we have.

Additional sources/references:

Universal Healthcare Cost in America would be cheaper by trillions of dollars

The US has worse life expectancies than socialized healthcare countries

We have worse generalized healthcare results

We have the most expensive care

Our system is so cruel and unique that doctors from other countries literally can’t believe what happens here

I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this.  There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways.  I can tell you when, though.

Now.

Just finished watching Hack-san (without translations). DAMN it was good.

 Marinette waiting until the last minute to tell Alya about needing her to makes sense - she wasn’t planning on going on the trip, she tried to fake being sick, so it really wasn’t something she could’ve planned in advance. Also explains why she didn’t tell Chat beforehand - she couldn’t.

I loved seeing Alya panicking a little too, trying to keep anyone from getting akumatized even while no one seemed likely to be. Reminds me of Marinette’s anxiety. With having to be the major hero that Paris relies on to fix everything, as well as subbing for the Guardian, she’s under a lot of pressure very suddenly.

Chat attacking her made sense. A new superhero comes out of nowhere, using LADYBUG’S miraculous, of all things? Yeah, he’s gonna assume that she either stole his Lady’s Miraculous, is an akuma, or is a sentimonster. 

I really want to know what their conversation on opposite sides of the chimney was about. Adrien was clearly not happy about the situation and didn’t trust this new superhero, but he at least was wiling to work with her. And by the end he’d warmed up to her a lot.

Oooh, and Alya’s plan near the end to take down Robostus… I don’t know the exact details, but it seemed to rely on manipulation and understanding how people work, using that to her advantage. Combining that with Sentibubbler, and Alya seems to be really good at understanding people and using them in her plans to achieve her goals, while Marinette’s really good at manipulating objects to achieve her goals. 

And OH MY GOD MARINETTE TAKING OUT AN AKUMA WITH A FRYING PAN IS PERFECT. And trapping the butterfly under a bucket afterwards! All the fanfics that have civilians taking out akumas like that and trapping them to dispose of later suddenly got a big canonical boost!

Looks like Alya noticed something was wrong with Chat too and urged Ladybug to talk to him! YES. Makes perfect sense, considering that her big strength is understanding people. Plus, he’s more willing to show negative emotions to her than he is to Ladybug nowadays, so it’s more obvious.
