Read, reblog, and resonate!
Alya's anger was valid, but i think it's CRAZY for her to yell at Mari, "I don't like lying!" Like, you think your BESTIE does?!đ you should know by now that it eats at her, too. Then just basically tells her bestie she doesn't want to help carry her burden (thanks, Pookie)
But still, very valid anger; Alya wasn't there in the action. Mari was and is a child, and there was no time to think of the "right-er" option
We, as the audience, get that privilege.
A 14 year-old child that just witnessed her boyfriend's assistant be the villian's side-kick and die, his mother in a see-through coffin, and his father be THE villian and achieve his wish to reunite with his deceased wife by killing himself instead of listening to the child plead with him to live the rest of his time caring for his child. All in the span of maybe half-an-hour to a couple hours (really not a lot of time). She did not get that same privilege. Only thoughts in her head are probably,
"What the fu-"
before the next and next event.
If she told him, he'd probably let it slip and then everyone would know and everyone would be outside his only "home" with torches and pitchforks. He didn't slip? He continues pretending with the people mourning his father, the villian, to his face. Yadda yadda, the other options, blah blah
This scene was intense between Alya/Rena Rouge and Mari/Ladybug, Alya was mad at Mari for Flying to her about Gabriel was Monarch. And you can hear Mari's voice in the end it was like she wanted to cry đđ
I hope there's a moment we get a deep dive into her thoughts and it's like that Spongebob scene
and her fighting it because Marinette shouldn't know what's going on
I think people forget Marinette is like 14.
(Disclaimer; I only roughly know what going on in season 6 so, correct me if Iâm wrong. )
Marinette was given the truly impossible decision of either A), telling her recently orphaned boyfriend, that his father, who just JUST DIED, was the super villain whose been terrorizing him and everyone he loves, for a year now. To make matters worse, he and his father had a very broken relationship, that heâll never have the chance to fix, because heâs dead. Or B), Telling her orphan boyfriend, that his dead father, at least died a hero, but forever living with the burden of knowing thatâs a lie.
To make matters infinitely worse, she has like an hour to decide. Plus, whichever she chooses sheâll have to tell both Adrien and the rest of the country HERSELF. So, of course Marinette, whoâs used to lying to âprotectâ others, picks option B. Was it the right decision? Absolutely not. But she shouldnât even have to make that decision, SHES A CHILD.
The two adults who knew the situation she was in, Tikki and Natalie, donât even try to convince her to tell the truth. And her best friend, the only person she mightâve ever told she did this, Is (rightfully) PISSED with her, even though she also chose not to deal with the burden of knowing that when given the opportunity. Getting mad at your best friend for not saying and then also choosing not to say anything is wild (again correct me if im wrong about the situation, I havenât seen the episode yet)
The fact Marinette hasnât had an actual mental breakdown over this is insane. HER VILLAIN ARC WILL BE LEGENDARY.
i hope this is cool
anyway i think the similarities to chat blanc and revelator are supepeprrrr cool and adrien and alya friendship should happen
i could probably put all the similarities i found or whatever i dont know but im also LAZY, maybe ill make a post about it later
