Okakuri Deserves Rights

Hi. I saw you made many Felix related art, so I assume you interested in the character at some level...

What do you think about the episode Representation? Personally, it bothers bothers me that in his leterall previous apparance -wich offically happend probaly a few weeks earlier at most- he claims he hates the idea to creat, control and abuse a being, just to snap away when you have no more use of it.... Yet, he creats Once upon, seemingly with the only reason to use it for his own performance, what he or Kagami simply could have said directly to Marinette, and it's suggested he snaped it away afterward.... so, the literal opposite what he said he is against...

I'm interested in your oppinion, so, please, tell me your oppinion! 🙂

Hi! Yes, Félix is one of my favorite characters! I understand that some people have trouble understanding him, he's a character who serves his own interests and does his own justice, so he often makes more than questionable choices.

You're right, there was very little time between the episodes Pretension and Representation. Félix says he doesn't want to use the peacock miraculous, because he finds it cruel to use and manipulate living beings. So what he does in Representation may seem contradictory. But to me, it's consistent with the character.

Let's recall the context:

Kagami and Adrien are forcibly sent to London. Felix knows that their time is running out and that Monarch is planning something terrible. But now Felix isn't acting alone; he has someone to help him trust people a little more, and that's Kagami. According to the little conversation they had on the Eiffel Tower, it was Kagami who asked Félix to tell Marinette/Ladybug the truth, because she knows that only she can defeat Monarch. Félix is still hesitating, as Kagami isn't even one hundred percent sure that Ladybug is really Marinette. But they have no choice: this is their last chance.

The fact that Felix went against his principles and created a sentimonster shows not only his great trust in Kagami, but also that Felix had no time/no choice and had to sacrifice a sentimonster for a good cause. Unlike Shadowmoth and Mayura, Felix doesn't control the sentimonster when he asks for help. Kagami has the ring with the sentimonster's amok. The sentimonster agrees to help him of his own free will. (I think the sentimonster even knew he had to die after completing his mission).

Why did Felix come up with such a complicated plan to tell Marinette the truth when he could have just talked to her?

We’re talking about Félix here…  a boy who doesn't think like a normal human being xD

More seriously, there are several reasons:

Let's also stop looking for realism in cartoons. Yes, in reality, what Felix has done makes no sense and could have been solved differently. But what's so important about that? Isn't it more fun that Félix made a little show to tell his family's story?

It's like seeing people say that Master Fu is a horrible person for choosing children as superheroes. Or that it's childish for Gabriel to fight teenagers. Or that the Miraculous timeline doesn't make sense because it's always spring, Valentine's Day took place before Christmas, etc. Do you like to have a bit of fun now and then? The great thing about cartoons like Miraculous is that they don't have to be realistic. Not everything has to make sense to make sense! (This message isn't aimed at you personally, I'm talking about the fandom in general).

But hey, I got a little off topic. Thanks for asking these questions, I find the character of Felix fascinating and enjoy discussing it.
