My parents HATE overwatch because it takes up our entire wifi whenever my brother goes online and when I bought myself the new Zelda my mom was like “can I watch Netflix? or are you playing” and I was like no, no don’t worry it doesn’t take up internet. and she was so relieved and started walking towards the TV in her room and I was like “you want to watch it out here? I can switch to the handheld mode” and she was so impressed that she could watch Master Chef next to me while I played my game. Nintendo is truly the family system.

for my entire life i wondered why a dragonfly has an ass thats like 8 times as long as their body and tonight i finally felt compelled to investigate and as it turns out dragonflies breath thru their ass and can shoot water out of their butt hole to make them fly faster…….so…… i really did not expect that to be the answer but there it is

experiences that take place on a different plane of existence

The “new kid” excuse should just stop

Please, don’t misunderstand. I have nothing against those of you who are fans of Lila and I can perfectly get you’re just trying to justify the actions of a character you love -we’ve all done it sometimes- but I’d recommend a different approach.

You see, there’s no denying Marinette’s way to handle the situation was far from perfect. I myself came up with three different more mature(?) scenarios shortly after I watched the episode BACK IN MARCH 2016:

1. Ladybug waits until Lila’s done talking to Adrien and she visits him and personally explains why he shouldn’t trust Lila.

2. As Ladybug, she goes to Alya, explains everything and asks her both to post a video with this new information and to keep her sources anonymous.

3. If she wanted to expose her that badly, she should’ve used a more “subtle” way: “Don’t worry, dear citizens! Just patrolling around Paris because that is my job as I am Ladybug! And- OMG! Aren’t you Adrien Agreste?! And you’re with… who’s this? Sorry, I’m just sure I’ve never seen you before. Nope! Never ever in my life… Whelp, anyway, gotta go!” (And don’t tell me that’s way too awkward because this is MARINETTE we’re talking about, alright?)

So, yeah… She could’ve done something like that instead of… this…

But, I’m getting off topic.

The reason behind this post is that everytime someone calls out Lila for her lies in the fandom, there’s always another fan who justifies Lila’s actions as being just a kid who was new and wanted to fit in.

The thing is, just as I’ve seen before in other blogs (I think one of the people who made me realise my whole point was @zoe-oneesama love your au!) , Lila’s lies are not those you use to fit in in a new crowd. How do I know this? Easy. Because I lied once to fit in.

Now, I am not proud of that, even if I WAS just a kid back then. It felt horrible and I felt really uncomfortable about myself. But the point is, my lie had nothing to do with Lila’s: I was 11 at the time and had agreed to spending the weekend with my best friend and his judo class, of which I didn’t know anybody except for him. Those kids were different from me in a lot of things, even younger, so I didn’t want to be excluded. And you know what I lied about to impress them? I said I didn’t like Adventure Time, which I used to love. AND THAT’S IT.

Now, my point is, when you lie to fit in you simply say you like or dislike the same thing the person’s talking about at the moment, you don’t go “I really like Bruno Mars!” “Oh, really? Well, I happen to have flown in his private jet with him, we’re super close friends and because of that he even wrote me a song!”. The only remotedly similar lie she said in the whole episode was when she told Adrien she loved superheroes. JUST THREE WORDS IN A 22 MINUTE SHOW

In her case, like many others have pointed out before me, she was trying to position herself above her classmates. And according to my personal opinion based on her personality so far, what she wants is to be the constant centre of attention and for her peers to be jealous of her instead of feeling that jealousy herself. But that’s just me talking.

But I insist, I don’t mean to shame anyone for liking her character, but seriously, saying she only lied to fit in… that’s really getting old.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
