I'm came here today just to have a place to complain

So that "man vs bear" shit that's going around right now, some guy decided to explain the situation by saying like "oh if there's 7 pieces of chicken and 3 are poison, and someone told you to eat the chicken you wouldn't want to because you know 3 are poison" and so first of all I'm surprised that the women who are into the "bear good" argument are even okay with a man explaining this anyway

But my main issue is that is the exact same argument Mitt Romney made in like 2012 to defend racism and Islamophobia. Remember? "If one M&M is poisoned you wouldn't want to eat any of them" as a metaphor for not letting Middle Eastern muslims into the country?

I really didn't have "the people in charge of the National Novel Writing Month forums/website knowing they're employing a pedophile and doing nothing about it even though that pedo is modding the part of the forum for minors" on my 2023 bingo card.

some people hate looking through their facebook memories because they're so cringey

I always liked doing it because it was fun to reminisce about whatever nonsense was happening

But I noticed this year that like... wow... even in 2008 nobody liked me enough to ever respond to anything I said. Quotes, references to tv shows I was watching, music I liked, things I was doing, jokes, events in my life, funny pictures, the three separate times I accidentally predicted covid.

It's really fun looking back on your life and wondering if anybody actually ever liked you at all. And then I see people posting the same kind of stuff I do and oh everybody just loves it when they do it.

I really appreciate that on Miraculous Ladybug even though Ladybug, Chat Noir, AND Master Fu all know that adults are better Miraculous holders - they're stronger, more powerful, and don't have a limit of using their power once before detransforming - they all still only give miraculouses to other teenagers and not to adults. Can you imagine how BOSS Marinette's dad would be with like the tiger miraculous? I wanna see Alec giving the gift of jubilation after "Wishmaker" instead of Rose. Show me Jagged Stone as the rooster or something.

I mean putting aside how much most of the class SUCKS so I don't think they deserve miraculouses - I mean Sabrina sure sucks, and everyone always ganging up on Marinette about being like an attempted murderer whenever Lila says anything... blah - the people with the power to distribute the miraculouses KNOW that adults are more powerful with them, so why not give some trusted adults the miraculouses?

Although to be fair every single adult in Marinette's life has let her down tremendously over and over again - her parents also believe Marinette is a terrible person based on ONE accusation, Ms. Bustier always defends Chloe (oh gee Marinette yeah Chloe ruined something you worked hard on as a gift but she has trauma or something idk) and does nothing to support her other students.

Actually I'm pretty sure Gabriel was more supportive of Marinette than any of her teachers ever were. He approved of her design work and work ethic. He probably could've been a great mentor to her if things had gone a little differently... a LOT differently.

I know all the teen characters get the powers because of the target audience, it's just kind of silly that in-universe everyone knows it makes more sense for adults to have the powers.

I am so confused by this fucking website, I log on multiple times a day for 4 days a month ago and just keep seeing the same 3 posts every time, and then I come on now and I'm seeing tons of news posts but also one of those same 3 posts

???? How do people use this place

I've never played Baldur's Gate III and probably never will - I mean I struggled to the point of tears to get through the Arceus fight in Pokemon Legends Arceus so I feel like BG3 might be too hard for me

But yeah guess what I'm an Astarion simp now

I don't know how they managed to craft the absolute perfect man for a particular set of fans. I mean I've been into anime since like 1998 so I know fangirls love: dudes with white hair; vampires; elves; men who are aristocratic but also a bit dandyish - and relatedly, feminine while still being masculine; men with huge body counts (in the gore sense); traumatic backstories; really nice clothes; snarky attitudes; but also sensitive guys

So like Astarion is basically like if you put Legolas, the 4kids dub version of Seto Kaiba, Sesshomaru, Ayame Sohma, Hatori Sohma, and Erik Northman from True Blood in a blender and then gave him fancy clothes

Idk what I mean. But like, it's that. He's like bisexual 1700s vampire Seto Kaiba who kills people and has lots of sex.

There will never be a fictional character more perfectly attuned to what teenage girls were attracted to in 2004.

My one and only critique is that he has no chest hair, but I understand that's common for elves in that continuity?

It's no secret this account is basically dead but like, man, everyone else is too?? I remember it used to be that it would take like 20 minutes to go through my dashboard to get back to the last post I checked, and I'd have to do it three times a day to keep my dashboard manageable.

Now it takes 3 seconds to get back to the last post I saw, which is from like 5 days ago. Everybody else left, huh? It's deader than deviantart.

it's me with more mlb season 5 spoilers

I'm sorry I'm still just kind of losing my mind that technically Adrien killed both of his parents on Miraculous Ladybug and nobody cares?? He's 14 and he killed his dad and doesn't even know. His very existence is what killed his mother.

ALSO everyone shits on Gabriel for being a bad dad, and sure, he is. But if you follow the timeline of the show, Emilie was a terrible mom??

At first on the show it seems like maybe Emilie died years ago and Gabriel has been distant since then, but we find out in the Christmas special that she only died A YEAR AGO. So Adrien being sheltered with no friends, forced to be perfect and do things without any say, and only getting a pen for every birthday and not getting Christmas presents? Not Gabriel's fault. His mother was still alive during all of that.

Why doesn't anybody ever bring that up???

ALSO the implications of some reveals in season 5 is that Emilie and Colt (Felix's dad) died as a result of using the broken peacock miraculous, which somehow kills people. It apparently took 13 years to kill both of them after *creating a human being inside of a uterus*. Nathalie died - or almost did - over the course of what by my math was like a month and a half of using it. Granted she did use it more often than Emilie and Colt, but like... it just doesn't make sense.

ALSO the timeline of the show makes no sense. Some of the episodes could simply not be in chronological order, but if we go by "episodes that clearly take place after another episode" that means the last like 60 episodes of the show take place between March and June. Even putting aside that several of the episodes take place on the same day, that's still insane. So they had like 26 episodes take place from September through March and then all of seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5 took place in March, April, May, and a bit of June?? Insane.

I'm sorry I have nobody to talk to about anything ever and I enjoy watching this show, and because I enjoy it, it makes me insane to think about it. It could've been SO MUCH BETTER. GAH

ALSOALSO I thought more about my "what would I have done if this show was on when I was younger" and I realized I definitely would've made the white cat or CHEETAH miraculous holder love interest of Adrien named Bridget or Bridgette (because that was my go-to French name when I was 13) and then would've been so furious to find out that's what people nicknamed proto-Marinette from the 2D animated PV proof of concept thingy so then I would've had to come up with some other name for her.

I'm almost out of stuff to complain about until 2025 when season 6 finishes airing, presumably - since season 6 isn't due to start airing until "quarter three of 2024" which probably means January of 2025 which would then likely mean it won't finish airing until March 2026.

The show is really not good enough to justify what a mess production is. Like we have to wait a millennium for Invicible to finish season 2 but at least that show is good other than the really bad cgi which seemed to partly be because of covid. Miraculous Ladybug was already a mess before covid.
