I Drew This Little Friend And I Dont Know What He Is But I Love Him

To See Her Laugh - Jesstra Fanfic

i am so tired and my eyes are swollen lmao so have this piece i wrote pretty quickly but i still like it kind of??? enjoy!! it is female!jesse x petra btw!! :>>

Jesse placed the last block on the statue she was building. She took a couple steps back, her hand stroking her chin as she studied her build tediously, looking for any possible mistakes. She was so lost in her statue, she hadn't noticed Petra had sneaked up on her.

“Boo!” Petra roared, jumping in front of Jesse's view. Jesse fell to the ground, letting out a little yelp of surprise. “Haha! Got you!” she boasted, lifting out her hand to Jesse while still chuckling. Jesse rolled her eyes playfully and took Petra's hand. “What are you building?” Petra asked, leaning on the side of the statue.

“Something for my town. As you can see, I'm kind of busy,” she answered, searching through her inventory for the right material. Petra's eyes grew a bit dim, and Jesse immediately felt bad. She knew everyone was busy, Axel, Olivia. Lukas… They didn't have to time to hang, and even if Petra didn't say anything now, she could still see in her eyes the loneliness and longing. She sighed, tearing her gaze away from her work. “Well.. You know I'll always have time for you,” she added, winking teasingly. Petra blushed a light red, but she buried her face into her hands.

“Come on, let's go explore!” Jesse said, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the gates of Beacontown. She saw Petra's eyes start to light up again, a warm feeling in her heart. “I'll race you!” she giggled, as she started sprinting.

“Hey, no fair! I wasn't prepared!” Petra scolded jokingly. Though Jesse did have a head start, Petra was gaining up on her. When Petra did finally pass Jesse, she gave her a wink and dashed away. Her already pounding heart somehow got faster, and she nearly tumbled after that distraction. She shook it off and kept on going.

They came to an abrupt stop when there was a deep hole right in front of them. They glanced at one other, giving each other a knowing smirk. They leaped down the deep, dark hole, enjoying the fall. They landed carefully, though Jesse still fell on her face. Petra snorted, doubling over with laughter. Even though her face hurt terribly, to see Petra laughing, that was all that mattered.

“Ready to explore?”

“You bet I am.”

Reminders for the ML Fandom

The kids in this show are currently 14-15 years old.

This show’s target audience are children who are younger than the characters. So, not you, not me, not any user that should be using tumblr.

There are MULTIPLE seasons left. Stop acting as if the show ends at the end of this season whenever something happens.

Writing isn’t bad just because you have a problem with something that a character says or does.

Marinette and Adrien are Yin and Yang, and as Master Fu has even said, “they’re made for each other”. Which means endgame. It’s been foreshadowed since S1, how can you possibly think otherwise?

Take a breath. If the show itself is continuing to cause you so much stress and salt (two things that are really bad for your health) then maybe it’s time to take a step back from it.

You remember what it’s like being a teenager, right? As a teen, we would do dumb stuff. We were nervous and scared and anxious around our crushes and the thought of them knowing how we feel is, like, the scariest thing in the world. Most likely you’re an adult now and you don’t feel this way, or at least much, anymore. So you’re projecting your current self onto the characters and expecting them to react how you would. But they’re not you! They’re like 14 year old you. Not that much time should’ve passed that you can’t remember yourself, or your friends, or your siblings and how you or they were like at that age. That being said, kids are supposed to be relating and learning from this. Stop acting like its existence is to please you specifically, because it’s not. Whenever an event happens, like Chat finding out Ladybug loves someone else, or Marinette finding out Adrien loves someone else, or Luka/Kagami coming into the picture, everyone loses their minds and starts assuming the worst and voicing those opinions and feelings like it’s fact. This is a multi-season show that could very well have more seasons than even the creators themselves know about at this point in time. When have you ever watched a multi-season show where what was going on in the beginning is still is mega prevalent and really the only thing going at the end? Relax, there’s plenty of time for things to be worked out and for new issues to arise. Marinette or Adrien could tell the other one that they hate their guts and I can guarantee that they would be feeling just about the opposite by the end of this show. A lot can change in a short amount of time! I mean, have you ever watched an Asian drama? So you don’t like that Alya didn’t stick up for Marinette in Chameleon and ignored her claim about Lila because she thought she was being jealous, or that Kagami isn’t what you envisioned in your mind after seeing her briefly in Riposte, or that Marinette’s always had the tendency to be obsessive about Adrien and do crazy and embarrassing things when it comes to him too. I totally get all that. Having a preconceived notion about a character that’s just been introduced to be wrong when you start actually getting to know them, or you’ve only seen part of what they’re like and they do something you don’t like, is no reason to claim bad writing. I’ve seen bad writing from shows from all over the world my entire life, and this isn’t it. You know the ones, the ones that make you just want to hit your head on something to put yourself out of your misery when the characters have a conversation for five minutes. If this show’s writing was so bad like tumblr users like to keep saying, it wouldn’t be mega popular like it is to the point where a majority of people have at least heard of or seen something from the show. There’s always room for improvement, of course, but not agreeing with some things doesn’t equal bad writing.

Yin and Yang. Extremely obvious that they’re both alike and very different at the same time, that they compliment each other both when they’re around one another, and also when they’re not, but going through similar things at around the same time. The parallels emphasize this all the time. This is a story about characters growing up, learning, changing, and experiencing life - with the add-on responsibility of saving Paris (and later, the rest of the world) from danger. We’d have no story if by season 2, Marinette and Adrien were dating and everything went happily for the rest of the show. That’s not how life works. One mishap, one misunderstanding, one new crush, that’s not going to change the outcome of these two but in a more natural and positive way. I honestly don’t understand why anyone who no longer finds joy in something would continue sticking to it, if that applies to some users who find the need to post constant salt. It’s okay to be frustrated at times, but it’s not if it’s a common thing. That’s just unhealthy. You may say you have the right to post it, but people also have the right to ask you not to, as this is a community that’s dedicated to the love for something. Because while you may not like the show, or be able to stand how it’s progressing anymore, there are a lot of us that still do, and always will, and all the salt just brings everybody down. We would like to share our thoughts and feelings about what the show is - not always have to read salt about what it isn’t.

“What’s your name, little dragon?”

“Martin. My name was Martin.”

hi

im making a separate account for all my elder scrolls stuff. ill post art, writing, screenshots, etc. i will post a lot about my ocs. if you want to see that, follow @elder-doggo

honestly? im anti self dx but i kinda feel like it can be good? like if u do a lot of research and just know like “hey i probably have this disorder. i should try to get a proper diagnosis so i can get treatment for it.”

but dont just like. look up some disorder and see that one of the symptoms is sadness and just go “oh :’( i have this and you have to respect that uwu” cause my man i can assure you that you are not a fucking doctor.

Why So Much Salt?!

So this might actually be a controversial post since so many people in the Miraculous Ladybug fandom love salt and hating on the creators, but I think the fandom has crossed the line.

It seems like every episode I see so many post hating on the writing and characters and ultimately there is always a post coming at Thomas Astruc himself. Mind you, a lot of these post are brutal and show literal hate to the author of the show for little details here and there that people don’t really like, no matter how opinion based these issues are.

I don’t understand how all these basic manners the fandom excels at when it comes to fan writings and fan art are all thrown out the window when someone manages to have their original ideas actually publicized. When it comes to fan written work, if people don’t like it, they just ignore it and don’t write hateful things in the comment section. If they enjoy most of it, but have a few places here and there they don’t care for, they still usually like the work and make nice comments. However, when it comes to Thomas, or any other publized creator for that matter, because I feel like this does not just happen with MLB, people feel free to spew their hate on the smallest little details instead of just commenting on what they like or enjoyed about the episode. Thomas gets direct hate thrown at him for people’s opinion on little details all the time.

Look, at the end of the day, this is Thomas’ show, and these are his characters. This is his original story, his original world, and his original project. He got the funding to make his original idea come to life and people of all ages all over around the globe have loved it! Even if you think your fan fictions, one-shots, or AUs are better than the actual show, they would not exist without Thomas and his original idea. Even if you think you can write the characters better, they are his characters, and not yours. We can have fun using the characters and the universe he created, and we can add some of our own originality by coming up with AUs or adding changes to characters, but at the end of the day, the original story is his, and he can do what he wants with it. We as a fandom should respect him like we would fellow tumblr writers in the sense that even if we do not like his work, we just ignore it, and move on, because it’s not our baby, it’s his. If you do not like the actual show, feel free to stop watching it and only consume fan fiction based off of his idea. That way, people who enjoy the show do not have to deal with seeing hateful comments after every episode from people who should have stopped watching long ago if they really feel the way they say.

Someone finally says it!!!

Can we stop this, it’s getting old

Y’all act like you didn’t make mistakes when you were 13-16 year olds

Can everyone just realize that while the writing may be faulty that they’re actually kind of realistic. Not everyone is mature enough to recognize the best decisions when you’re that young and we often make selfish decisions when other people enable us

Does that completely excuse bad behavior or justify hurting others? No. 

But at least we have an understanding of why people do the things that they do, which extends to our main characters.

I find it refreshing that Marinette isn’t perfect and as we keep progressing we see that neither are Kagami or Adrien. Marinette has a huge jealousy streak and it’s a major flaw that’s brought up so I can see how that’s tiring but speaking as a girl who was also the jealous type around Marinette’s age, it’s actually nice to see how a real teenager is depicted. Yes, acting on jealousy is incredibly selfish and we hurt other people unknowingly, but we shouldn’t completely label things as “good” or completely label things as “bad.” Marinette is a good character with a few bad characteristics and she tends to do a few bad things, but it’s better than having her be this squeaky clean character who is completely devoid of flaws and setbacks. It makes her more relatable and it makes it more empowering when she’s rewarded for the good things that she’s done.

I can see why everyone is kind of tired of seeing Marinette acting jealous/petty or why everyone is frustrated that Chloe isn’t getting a redemption arc, but you also have to realize that people don’t just change over night and that they actually have to actually dedicate time to recognize their mistakes and grow from them. People tend to relapse or fall back into bad behavior, not every redemption arc or growth arc is straight. 

Wouldn’t be weirder if Marinette completely accepted Kagami as Adrien’s love interest when she’s shown to be in love with him and has previously acted on impulsive jealousy? Wouldn’t it be a little weird if Chloe was super nice to everyone and did the right thing all the time when she’s always been a spoiled brat? Wouldn’t it be weird if our protagonists didn’t act like the characters they’ve always been established as? 

So please stop complaining about our characters not acting perfect, when you should just take it as it is and stop getting upset when they don’t reach your projected expectations

You know what’s incredibly irritating? When you’re unconsciously stimming, eg tapping your leg, playing with your jewelry etc in a very special way, then suddenly stop, then realizing something is missing, wanting to return to wiggling your leg but not knowing how exactly you moved it because you did it unconsciously so it just feels wrong no matter what you try you just don’t get that satisfying feeling of That Special Move™️ back so it feels like something important is missing or is it just me
