On Style Queen/Queen Wasp…

Adrichatbrat:
(Syren) “Why can only LB know other heroes’ identities? I wanna know a secret, too!”
(Queen Wasp) “TAKE IT BACK! Take It BacKKKK!!!”

Wow, Audrey's “compliments” to Chloe are even worse than Gabe’s…
Gabriel: “I’m disappointed… But at least Clara likes your work.”
Audrey: “Well, it’s not an entirely idiotic idea~~~”

Who is in charge of the dub??? They’re fired! “Owner”? “Subjection”?
“Authority” would’ve been less… weird.

I can’t believe she just publicly outed herself! (Even though I was siding on that theory.)

That sound effect doesn’t sound like a buzz.

Chloe puts her mask on last because she doesn’t care.

Tom Dupain is a punner…

So Marinette’s parents are now familiar with miraculous. Will they find the box or Tikki first?

QB has the cutest comm! It’s like an antique two-piece phone!

Plagg: *boop*
Paris: *breaks*

An Actual Cat

Marinette could’ve retired to NY after Gabriel retired Hawk Moth without incident, but nooo~

Okay, I don’t blame Audrey for being unimpressed, but I still blame her for Queen Bee and Queen Wasp.

In Paris, water isn’t wet.

Liberty is like a clean garbage barge… But it’s kinda handy~! It’s like a lucky workshop!

How does Nadja keep up? Give that cameraman a raise!

Chlorine…
Please, make her stop!

Don’t leave her with that witch!!!
Oh look, you’re exactly alike!

THAT’S NOT A GOOD THING!

BAD ENDING
FIX IT

Mr and Mrs Bourgois don’t excuse Chloe, but they explain the Chloe.

People upset there’s a lack of “redemption” in here, but this is… exactly what I wanted? I don’t want two Chloe-centric episodes and call her redeemed. That’s fake. It’s cheating. I hate it. Change doesn’t come out of thin air, where one is called out or loses a fight and then they start doing a whole lot of good deeds to “pay for their sins” or something. Cute, but those kinds of shows are just lying to you. What these episodes do is show where the heck it comes from.

Reverser was like a kiddier version of Miraculous. The Queen’s Battle leaned a little more into DC show style or something. Maybe that’s why I think it works? Chloe’s not beyond hope, but she is bad, and she needs to make a huge leap. It’s nice to have a different character type. It’s still lighter than the same origin type in the DC pantheon; rather than villain-to-hero, they’re doing a bully-to-hero.

for some reason in my (cursed? blessed?) sims game i am able to invite the grim reaper to parties, and now he regularly shows up even if i don’t invite him. he often brings ceviche. normal quality. he’s a decent party guest except for the fact that the only interaction you can have with him is to slow dance. naturally i made one of my sims slow dance with him, which gave him the notification ‘we have a lot in common! id love to get to know you better’. so anyway, a couple of days and parties later, it’s 6 am and my sim gets a phone call. it’s death. he wants to know if i want to go on a date. 

image

naturally my sim accepts. death takes him to the school stadium in the rain and stands outside, unable to be interacted with, while a thought bubble containing my sim’s face pops up over his head for a simlish hour, over and over again, carrying a rainbow umbrella while my sim sits on the ground and considers the hollowness of life. 

image

remembering that all i can do is slow dance with him, i drive him to moonlight point, where there’s a couch and a record player, and i slow dance with him for about 5 hours. every 2 seconds he steps on my sims’ foot, to the point where it was hard to get decent pictures of them actually slow dancing. 

image

after a while my sim got hungry so i let him go drink some juice, and death went and started reading a book on a couch. i went and sat next to him, wondering if there would be any new interactions since you get different ones when you sit on a couch or bench, and lo and behold i discovered, not only can you slow dance with death, you can also cuddle with him. naturally i did so because the quality of dates is determined by the number of positive social interactions you have with someone, and slow dancing unfortunately doesn’t give you any of those, but cuddling does. anyway, once you start the cuddling animation, you get fancy new options like kiss and make out, so my sim spent the next six hours making out with death on a shitty couch at the beach in a thunderstorm while listening to sim!bastille. 

image

after a couple dozen make out sessions, a single option appeared under the Romantic… heading: ‘take a romantic photo together’. this only shows up once you’re a romantic interest of someone. i have now successfully wooed death. knowing that selecting this option would make death stand up from the couch and i likely wouldn’t be able to get him to sit again, i decided to end the date at the tender hour of 3 am (i guess death doesn’t sleep) with a kiss. it takes a while- death can’t seem to figure out where to stand or how to walk around a foosball table- but eventually i get my picture.

image

but apparently death doesnt like having his picture taken. 

image

i try to slow dance again with him, but the option has disappeared. i have committed an irreparable social faux pas. i sit on the couch again in the hopes that death will resume reading his book and i can cuddle with him again, but instead he stands in front of the bookshelf for an hour. i take a break, leaving my sim to his own devices for a while while i check in on my other sims, since one of them just went into labour. i deal with that. when i return, i find my sim drinking juice in silence with death still standing in front of the bookshelf, but he’s changed into this sick new outfit in the interim. 

image

beekeeper chic. finally, at 6 am, death decides he’s had enough. he will never forgive me for my social blunder of taking a selfie while lipping at his shadowy veil. he opens up his rainbow umbrella and leaves. 

image

the date doesn’t end until i get home. i receive no date notification. death doesn’t even deign to let me know how badly i fucked up. all i have to remember my 24 hour gay liaison with one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is a single selfie. i hang it over my sims bed, a constant reminder to him that he has achieved ultimate goth status, and a warning to the others he dates: i have kissed death, and he never called me back.
