Strike Back - Tumblr Posts

Attention to all of my fellow dorks, geeks and nerds out there (standing out loud & proud! 😉) & also to my fellow #ArmitageArmy members out there: I came across something quite interesting online and I thought that some of you might be interested to know about this... For @meandrichard this could be something that you could add to your future blog posts that you write and share information about RA's colleagues, both past and present, that he's worked with. In this case, about Andrew Lincoln (Chris Ryan's Strike Back - 2010) worked an audiobook in the HP Universe called: "Quidditch Through the Ages" that was released on Audible on March 15th, 2018. I thought this might be interesting to some of you and it was my pleasure for sharing!! ☺

I just realized that Simpleman was basically Risk Lite and I'm utterly fascinated by the idea of the two of them in one episode causing all the mayhem because it will come down to "This is the simplest concept and I will take the risk and do it!"

AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS ALWAYS THEM AGAINST THE WORLD!!!

something something about how ladybug may be paris' hero but chat noir is constantly ladybug's hero

From this

To this:

“Just you and me?”

"Just you, and me. And all of Paris.”

So we just gonna ignore homegirl lowkey dying over here 👀

The way this one hug is reminiscent of so many of the moments they shared together

Ladybug was living her best life, winning against all the odds and having Adrien on her team doing everything perfectly and introducing him to her bestie Chat Noir and she went from heaven to hell so quick I’m surprised she even recovered from that mealtdown.

we’re all thinking it right?

Appreciation post for Felix being a really interesting character who, despite being the “calm collected cool and confident” trope, shows a lot of signs of strong emotion that really humanize him and remind us that he’s still just a child caught up on all this bs like all the others

Him being legitimately terrified/traumatized: 

Easily startled/on edge all day:

His hesitance at accepting a miraculous (after Ladybug asks “can I trust you?”):

Very real excitement at seeing a kwami:

His sadness at seeing the sentimonsters get thrown into the sun:

I don’t know, moments like these just give Felix so much depth imo, he’s so interesting. 

this came to me in a shower. season 5 i need this to happen

'The fact that Adrien, who had the most reason to be angry at Ladybug for what happened in that episode but didn't is more than enough proof for why he's her partner.

This entire season has been about Ladybug learning how to be a leader, and Adrien struggling to figure out where his place in all of this was. The conflict of the season was that these two didn't know where they fit in exactly. Marinette wanted to try her hardest to be the guardian she needed to be and Adrien wanted to be the the hero she needed.

And in this episode both of them thought they lost it.

Adrien's worst fear that he wouldn't be useful for Ladybug anymore, and Mari's worst fear that she would fail as a guardian, both came true.

But all hope is not lost.

In this scene where Adrien comforts Ladybug, he does what he's always excelled at doing as Chat. Like so many other scenes, as I've mentioned in Miracle Queen, Psycomedian, Kuro Neko, and of course ladynoir in Puppeteer 2, Adrien's worth as a hero isn't determined just by heroic feats and clever planning.

It's because his compassion and empathy for others is what saves the day, time and time again.

He tells her to trust him, because he knows her better than anyone else. And he knows in that moment she needs him. It's this level of selflessness that is Adrien's greatest strength. He would never hold a grudge or be angry at her because at the end of the day he's going to be on her side, always and no matter what.

In the end he does what he was always going to do: he does his best for his lady. Because he knows what she needs, and he never hesitated to give it.

And Marinette, who has spent this entire season learning about what it means to be a hero, and failing because of trauma and making mistakes, has finally learned the most important lesson for her.

She is Ladybug. She is a hero, mistakes and all. Her fear and anxiety and trauma do not make her failure.

The people have faith in her and support her, they want to follow her. They love her. And that's what makes her a great leader. A leader who Paris can get behind even when everything becomes bleak.

There's this idea that Marinette has to be perfect to be a good Ladybug. It's an idea Mari has been struggling with all season. It's what has led her to make so many of the mistakes we see her make. It's what many of the fans have argued she should be, when the reality is Mari was never perfect. Just like with Adrien, the show tells us that perfection isn't what we're looking for. It isn't what we need, it isn't what Paris needs.

What Paris needs is these two who never give up and always fight, who get back up even when they fail. Who the people want to support.

We've hit rock bottom now, the lowest of low. But the one thing this episode showed us was that Adrien and Marinette are the best Chat Noir and Ladybug for the job. And most importantly, it reminds us what makes them the best team for the job.

And that they most certainly are a team. Ladybug, Chat Noir, and all of Paris.

I’ve never seen so much emotion on marinettes face and its terrifying.

The breathing? The blush from crying?? The sheer and utter panic? all of it. its such a perfect scene that we NEEDED.

senti pocket monsters

can we talk about how ladybug’s mistake in strike back wasn’t actually her taking risks at all, how she thought through to make sure adrien was the right choice and her reasoning was completely correct, her plan to get froggy’s backpack worked perfectly? that it only went wrong because she gave the dog to the wrong person? that she wouldn’t have done if she’d taken the actual risk the episode explicitly called her out on avoiding—the identity reveal?

for @gentil-minou

Ok but listen

So I saw a post that said (correctly) that it would be awful if Marinette gave Felix the Dog Miraculous while still thinking he was Adrien and I was like ok but the potential for shenanigans…

(Transcript below readmore. Story of the unbelievable stress this gave me coming soon.)

augh…. the ending of s4 finale ending was everything…. ladybug admitting that she was lying to him, that she was pushing him away. they both know that they’re not doing good. they both know that their relationship isn’t good right now. but they’re still going to try. they’re going to do everything they can to Make it good. they’re not giving up on each other. they made a silent promise to work on it, to be better, to not let the distance between them happen again. obsessed.
