Anti Gabriel Agreste - Tumblr Posts
You know I feel generally conflicted about Chloe's character I don't like her at all and I don't think her redemption arc was as amazing as some people claim. On the other hand Thomas Astruc is very weird about her character and for a show that he claims to be some feminist master piece he really acts like mean teenage girls are the devil and irredeemable but grown ass men like Gabriel and Andre Bourgeois deserve to be forgiven and glorified for their horrible actions just very odd all-round.
Also take this with a grain of salt but I remember reading somewhere that apparently one time Astruc compared Chloe to Donald Trump deeply unserious man.
Y’know, Miraculous Ladybug claims to be feminist when it really isn’t, and I think that it’s because Thomas Astruc, for some reason or another, cannot stand the idea of anyone liking and/or sympathising with Chloe. His hatred of his own character, and anyone who likes or supports her is pretty fucking disturbing, and it’s clear that he enjoys making her suffer, and insulting anyone who likes her by comparing her to Donald Trump. Her ‘redemption’ arc in season two was a mess because Jeremy Zag wanted to redeem her, but nope, middle school bullies are irredeemable in Astruc’s eyes, so any hope of a redemption for her was conveniently tossed out of the window.
What ultimately sickens me is that a bratty middle schooler who is the product of her terrible upbringing gets the ultimate hate sink, while we’re expected to sympathise with, and ultimately forgive, a literal magical terrorist, and the father who enabled and spoiled his daughter beyond all reason. NO. I’m done with this show. Done.
one of the reasons i like felix is becuse i know he was abused and he knew his cousin was abused, they had no autonmy, they were pupets, they were dolls to thieir parents, expected to be like dolls forced to be puppetts.
its also heavily implied that he was physicaly abused, and that his mother was force to mary this afwul violent man for finacial/buisness/contionoing legacy purpose, which hits to close to home.
i already reallllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loved his charecter before but in the episode where snaps evryone out of existance exept kids like him.
but it's the phrase he says
" we are not monster, they are"
that got me, becuse i used to think i was a monster and not my abusers,not the people who hurt me, not the people who watched and did nothing , ME, i was the monster.
ofc i stoped beliving that before episode aired but it just got me
and then he just snaps the abusers out of existenace, and he snaps evryone out of existance, he lets down he facde and grins as he watches humanity snap out of existance, as aroom full of people who
call themselfs kings and queens, who ruled forcruely for way to long , that a mob came with it brought a guilotine, he was the mob and he was the guilotine and he dances, he sings, he sings and evryone hears the song from a soul who had never had his voice, he sing a melody amoung the noise of the world and finally, after all this time all that reamins is .... quiet . all that reamins is him , his people, and his quiet.
snaping your abusers out of existance sounds like such a fantasy.
i love him so much, i would, inded to go mad. in his position
