🌱 Subtle Persephone Worship 🍂

Isn’t it so fucked up how men will constantly try to deter any woman’s sense of safety or power? If a woman says she has big dogs to walk with at night, you’ll find men saying “Can it take a bullet” or if a woman has a gun they’ll say “I can just twist your wrist and take it from you”. They’re always intentionally trying to make us feel threatened and unsafe. Men will go the extra mile to find every possible way to antagonize and harm women, if we have the power to defend ourselves, they will do whatever it takes to undermine it because for them, putting women in danger, stripping us of our agency and safety, gives them power and control. And they have the audacity to call themselves protectors and actually delude themselves to believe it. The idea of women protecting themselves and taking precautions angers them, which is why they always feel the need to undermine it.

Every clue in every episode of Miraculous S6:

Climatiqueen:

The episode starts with Adrien seeing his social media and he watches a video of Chloe announcing she’s making a contest for her Bee community and whoever wins will get a book made by Max’s mom.

Chloe in this video says something interesting, that she can grant the wishes of everyone, doesn’t that sound familiar? That’s the same way Lila manipulates her akumatized victims as the new holder of the butterfly miraculous.

Chloe also said that Foxes, Turtles, Unicorns, Ponies and especially Ladybugs are not allowed in her contest, meaning she still hates Ladybug for not letting her be Queen Bee anymore.

I think this whole contest was a plan for Lila and Chloe knowing someone would get akumatized because of it, you have 100 people fighting against eachother to try to be the number one, of course someone would get akumatized if they lost or for the desperation of being the best, that’s such a smart move from both Lila and Chloe’s part.

We know that Aurore, the protagonist of this episode, is in Chloe’s competition, she wants to win because she wants that book, so she will do everything it takes to get it. Interesting, right? She starts doing the same thing Vincent does in Revelator, making rumors about Adrien and Marinette’s relationship, and painting Marinette as a posessive bad girlfriend while Adrien is the poor little victim of this relationship, then she gets akumatized and becomes one of the most powerful villains Lila has created, just like Vincent. There are so many coincidences between Vincent and Aurore, using Adrien and Marinette to boost their reputation and gain more followers, doing everything they can so they get likes and views, that’s exactly what Lila needs, and I believe Lila also did this plan with Chloe so she can know who is a great candidate to be on her team.

Aurore when she was talking with Chrysalis she said she actually didn’t care about the book, she only wanted followers and attention, meaning that everything she said and did after being de-akumatized could be a lie.

We see Vincent and Aurore spying on Adrienette in this episode too, who else is spying them in the next episode? Lila.

We also see Sublime at the end of the episode running along with Adrien, I don’t know what this could mean but the fact she just appeared out of nowhere makes me very suspicious. I believe one of Lila’s plans are making Adrien and Marinette break up and Sublime could be part of that scheme being very aware of it or not being aware at all.

Ilustrhater:

This episode starts with Marinette and Alya trying to figure out who is the new “Hawk Moth”, Marinette mentions they know nothing about this person. Well, we actually find out a lot about this new holder in this episode.

She’s spying Adrien and Marinette very hard, we saw Lila two times this episode. The first time is when she rejects/ignores Maya’s drawings and we only see her hand.

The second time is when at the end of the episode, she’s writing in her notebook everything she noticed in Marinette and Adrien’s date and how she will use this against them. We also see her clothes, and she says to herself “You’ll know nothing about me. About us. About them” making it clear she has a team helping her. In the next episode is when we meet Sublime, her family, what it seems to be a guy spying them and we finally see Tomoe again.

She also mentions she’s a chameleon, and that’s actually very interesting, because the first episode of season 3 is called Chameleon, where Marinette almost gets akumatized because of Lila. In this episode the protagonist/the akumatized victim was Maya, a little girl who looks a LOT like Marinette.

Sublimation:

This is probably the episode with the most obvious clues.

Sublimation starts with Marinette spying on Sublime and Adrien running in the morning, so she follows Sublime everywhere to find out her intentions with Adrien. Marinette as Ladybug does something to Sublime, she breaks her prothesis, and that causes Sublime’s mom, Caroline’s akumatization. Marinette does the same thing in Volpina, when Lila arrives to school she already is telling lies and gets very close to Adrien, that makes Marinette freak out so she starts following Lila everywhere, Marinette was so jealous of the fact Lila was hanging out with Adrien and couldn’t take it anymore so she transformed into Ladybug, humillated Lila in front of Adrien exposing her as a Liar, causing Lila to get akumatized.

Everyone who hates or hated Ladybug were once hurt by her: Lila in Volpina, Chloe in Miracle Queen, Sublime’s mom in Sublimaton, I think that’s a clue that Sublime and her family could end up on Lila’s side/team, especially after making a deal with Tomoe who is also against Ladybug.

Tomoe at the end of the episode smiles for some reason after Sublime and her family left her house, meaning she’s planning something and they’re part of her scheme.

We also see someone spying Ladybug and Sublime in her trial, but they don’t look like Lila, they actually look very different from her, this actually looks like a guy, so who could this person be?

I have two options: Nino’s brother, Chris or Vincent Aza.

Let’s start with the most popular theory: Chris

In the episode Timetigger we meet Nino’s brother as a teenager, he gets akumatized by the future holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, in this episode we get the first clue of the new Hawk Moth, said by Chris/Timetigger while talking to Gabriel, saying that he was sent by the Hawk Moth from the future, but he never said it was Gabriel.

At the end of the episode we see Lila babysitting Alya’s little twin sisters and Nino’s little brother. We see how Chris while talking to Lila he develops a small crush for her.

At the end of the season 5 finale, we see how something or someone visited Lila/Cerise, making her feel very scared, many people think it could be Chris especially after seeing a guy with darker skin tone doing the same thing Lila does, stalking.

When I talk about Revelator I will say the reasons Vincent could be this guy and not Chris.

Daddycop:

This episode starts with Sabrina crying because she and Chloe aren’t friends anymore while watching a video of Chloe saying she got betrayed by someone, referring to Sabrina, this whole episode was the build up for the akumatization of Sabrina that at the end didn’t happen.

This may sound insane, but how convenient is that Chloe throws that obvious indirect for Sabrina knowing that she could see it, Sabrina gets all sad and depressed because of it, she’s ignored by everyone in school and what completely breaks Sabrina is that Marinette made her feel horrible after all the things she said to her, so Lila decides to akumatize her? Of course I’m not saying everyone else is involved with this, but it looks like this could have been another plan from Lila and Chloe so Sabrina gets akumatized.

It looks like Lila is going after people who were “hurt” by Marinette or Ladybug so she can akumatize them: Maya (since Marinette ignored her like many others when she wanted to show her drawings), Caroline (Ladybug is the one responsible for what happened to Sublime in Sublimation), Sabrina (Everything Marinette said to her almost got her akumatized), Roger (because her daughter felt bad after everything Marinette said he got akumatized because of it) and Vincent (in his twisted mind, it’s Marinette’s fault he lost all his followers, views and everything he had because Alya, Marinette’s best friend exposed him).

We also get clues from Zoe’s past, when Zoe tells Sabrina in the library that Marinette invited her to the slumber party, Sabrina hugs her and says she’s a great girl just like Marinette, but Zoe feels guilty after Sabrina says this.

At the end of the episode, we met a new character named Ray, who is from Zoe’s old school, he has a secret and pics of Zoe’s and he’s blackmailing her because of it, Zoe doesn’t want this to get out because this would change the perception the others have of her (Ray was also part of Chloe’s competition).

Zoe’s situation is exactly like Marinette’s situation in this season, she has a huge secret she’s keeping from everyone and if this gets out to the public, everyone’s perception of her would change, and Lila knows about it, and she’s planning to use it so everyone turns against Ladybug.

Lila is stalking everyone, not just Marinette, if she finds out about this and knows Ray is blackmailing Zoe, she will use Ray so he gives her Zoe’s secret.

Werepapas:

This episode doesn’t give us any Lila clues but it gives us more information about Adrien’s family:

The episode starts hard with the writers showing us a flashbacks of Emilie with Adrien, it’s very clear that in the “Agreste-Graham” family there has always been a toxic environment, it didn’t started with Gabriel, and that was established in Representation, since Felix’s father was also very abusive.

In the flashback of Emilie she says that her parents don’t love her enough like they love other things and that’s why they never go visit them, after Emilie says this Adrien asks her mom if Gabriel doesn’t love him then, we also get a flashback of kid Adrien at the end of the episode showing us how Gabriel just ignores him when Adrien wants to spend time with him making it clear that Gabriel was always distant with Adrien, it was never because of his mother’s death.

We can see how different Adrien’s grandparents are from both sides, Emilie’s father, Emil, is a very strict man who follows the traditional roles and the family’s traditions, Emil’s behavior is what influenced Gabriel to end up the way he did, being obsessed with power and control exactly like Emil. These two see Milly and Adrien as things, since both Gabriel and Emil are very abusive with them.

Emil wanting to have the twin rings back was symbolism for wanting to control Adrien’s life, exactly how Gabriel used to. But this isn’t about Adrien only, this is also about Milly, who has been under Emil’s control over decades.

The fact Milly got akumatized after being so done of Emil’s abusive behavior is a reference of all the times Adrien got akumatized because he was in Gabriel’s control.

Ladybug destroyed the akumatized object that was the twin rings, the weird thing is that there was no amok in the rings, only the akuma, what could this mean? Those are not the real rings, someone else has the actual ones.

(I don’t believe anything Thomas is saying).

Revelator:

This episode starts with Vincent, who is a character that was first introduced to us in season 1 as a stalker fanboy of Jagget Stone and he got akumatized.

In this episode he makes fake rumors about Adrien and Marinette’s relationship, but he’s especially trying to ruin Marinette’s reputation while talking good things about Chloe. I believe Chloe was involved in everything that happened in this episode, especially after the pics of Marinetee’s with drawings on her face that Vincent posted reminded me a lot of when Chloe did the same thing in a drawing of Marinette that Nathaniel did back in Evillustrator.

It’s also revealed he’s being sponsored by Tomoe, which it’s interesting how characters like Chloe and Tomoe who hate or are against Ladybug are related to him.

He also tries to paint Gabriel Agreste as the real hero who saved Paris from Monarch and not Ladybug, this not only cleans Gabriel’s image, but it cleans Tomoe’s as well. He is exposed for being a liar by Alya, Marinette's best friend, and thanks to this, he loses everything he had once, getting akumatized into Revelator, who’s funtion is to reveal everyone’s secrets.

There’s this girl in the episode who starts yelling at Adrien and Marinette when they arrive to the cinema, this girl is wearing the same clothes Lila wore in Ilustrhater, and in the French dub the same voice actress of Lila plays this girl as well. This girl was waiting for them to get in the Cinema to start telling them stuff so this wasn’t out of nowhere, it was all planned.

We also got many clues about Chat Blanc:

Ladybug getting an eraser as a Lucky Charm in this episode exactly like in Chat Blanc.

Chat Noir got a power up in this episode that is similar to a mega cataclysm he made as Chat Blanc.

The Ice Cream Adrien and Marinette ate in Revelator having the same color scheme like Chat Blanc (which Sublime also holds in the endcard of Sublimation).

All of these are clues about what could happen when Adrien finds out the whole truth, losing the control over his emotions and becoming an easy pray for Lila.

Vincent’s skills of manipulating the public and his connections to someone as powerful as Tomoe makes him have the potential to be a great help to Tomoe and Lila in their plans, plus as an akumatized villain he is very powerful villain, shown in both Pixelator and Revelator.

He is desperate to get back to having the following and popularity he used to have, he would do anything to get it back, that would mean doing everything Tomoe or Lila ask him to do.

He could be the guy we saw spying on Sublime and her family in Sublimation, writing down any useful information about them that can be used against Ladybug.

Maybe that's why Tomoe was smiling, because Vincent told her everything he wrote, that's why she was interested in sponsoring them.

Lila needs someone to be able to spread all the lies Ladybug told with proof, and Vincent is desperate to get back everything he lost, so he wouldn't refuse to post something as juicy like everything Ladybug is hiding.

Since the season started, the people in the Miraculous universe are portraying Marinette as a bad influence for Adrien, making her the villain of Adrien’s life. Revelator is the most obvious example of what I’m talking about but the whole season keeps that theme, making Marinette do poor choices to the point her own Lucky Charm called her a villain, I believe all of this is foreshadowing of how the public will react when Lila reveals everything, or if Marinette gets akumatized, or both.

Wouldn't you like from the Epic musical.

I absolutely love how many times I'm seeing Epic mentioned here

Ladynoir July 2024, Day 31: Partners

@ladynoirjuly

(this is how they are to me)

First | <- Previous

Text below cut:

CN: M’Lady, would you like a mentos?

LB: You dropped it didn’t you.

CN: I resent the accusation ! I thought that this relationship was built on TRUST!

LB: Trusting you with my life and trusting you to not feed me floor candy are two very different things.

CN: And yet, when I rip this mentos from my heart and offer it to you, I am met with HOSTILITY and SUSPICION. Can Paris survive such discord between its protectors?

LB: OH MY TIKKI - Fine, just hand it over.

CN: No

LB: What - Why?

CN: You’re not being sincere…

LB: Dear Chat Noir, please forgive me for my distrust of you and your mentos - it will be my greatest honor to accept your generous gift. I hope that this will be enough to repair the profound damage my words have dealt to our partnership.

CN: Oh Bugaboo! I furtive mew! Our partnership has been saved!

LB: So, the mentos…?

CN: I ate it.

LB: Why are you like this?

The nature symbolism in The Picture of Dorian Gray makes me go FERAL!!

The way that the nature similes and imagery start to become less and less prevalent as Dorian loses his humanity!! They go from almost multiple a page to barely one a chapter; the way he stops aging goes against the way that nature is supposed to go.

The way that a main character (Basil) who suffers at Dorian’s hand is literally shares a name with an aspect of nature!! Dorian has gone against the will of nature and is paying for it.

The fact that Dorian is offered and eats cherries the night before gaining his undying youth; in some mythologies, the cherry tree contains the elixir to give the gods their eternal life. To add on, cherries in literature usually represent immortality and youth.

The fact that the flowers in Basil’s garden represent romance/love/beauty/courage (roses), purity/innocent/spirituality (lilacs), pain/pleasure (pink-flowering thorn), and PENSIVE/FORSAKEN BEAUTY (laburnum). The way Henry rips apart SEVERAL pink daisies (represents gentleness and love) in the very first chapter. The way Basil keeps a book titled “Forest Scenes” in his house. Basil is a person who nurtures beauty and love and romance in the purest way he can and is hurt horribly by the way Henry poisons Dorian’s brain and rips him apart.

And that just SKIMS the surface. THE NATURE SYMBOLISM IN THIS BOOK!! I’M GOING TO EAT DRYWALL ISTG

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.

Zeus (smiling): I brought gifts!

Athena: What?

Zeus: Remember when you said you liked owls? (Hands her an owl hatchling)

Athena (immediately loves her): She's amazing! Thanks!

Zeus: Apollo, I'm pretty sure you said something about swans.

Apollo (gasping as he's given a little swan): So pretty! I love him!

Zeus: Now, Artemis, you like deer, right?

Artemis (excitedly): Yes! (Hugs the little fawn)

Zeus: Onto Hermes. There was a little reptile which reminded me of what you'd said before.

Hermes (grins as he's given a tortoise): Sweet!

Zeus: Hephaestus, you mentioned donkeys a while back.

Hephaestus (jaw dropping at the sight): You noticed that?

Zeus: And Dionysus, I remember you saying that you wanted a goat.

Dionysus (beaming): Aw! She's the cutest!

Zeus (hands on his hips): Well, I think I've done good parenting for one day.

Ares:...

Zeus (leaves)

Ares: :(

Athena (hands him a puppy): I remembered.

Ares (happily cuddles the pup): Thanks!
