what would you have me do?

Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what “romantic”, in a literary sense, actually means.

It doesn’t mean “this is ideal or healthy or even realistic”. It means “this is beautiful, this is tragic, this is grotesque, this stirs emotion”, even if it’s not, as @starryroom puts it, something you would be comfortable seeing play out in front of you at Taco Bell. It’s about grandiosity and mythology and heroism writ large. It’s about playing with the id, as beautiful and terrible as it can be. 

LET LOVE AND LUST BE MONSTROUS.

i feel like Guillermo del Toro ghostwrote that

“I didn’t say I liked it. I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference.”

I haven't stopped thinking about this so please consider:

You know, we talk about how chat noir and ladybug are gonna react to the fall out. But we didn't talk about alya.

Imagine being Rena rouge and then witnessing your heroes fight each other because of your inclusion. You were just trying to help, and now Ladybug and Chat noir's dynamic is falling apart. She didn't know how fragile it was, she didn't think her inclusion would do so much damage.

Rena rouge probably be feeling guilty trying to fix it, but to chat noir, it might as well be another dagger in the back or salt in his wounds.
