All this is a LARGE part of the reason why I prefer to watch Miraculous Ladybug in the original French dub with accurately translated English subtitles.

Dialogue can mean one thing in a language but carry a slightly different meaning in another if the words are changed enough or if they decide to go with another meaning of the dialogue that essentially means the same thing but can lose the original dialogue's subtlety/subtext.

(Of course this is all dependant on what the message of the og dialogue was trying to convey and the language its being translated into)

It is what the characters were originally meant to be saying (the most canon dub imo) and it sounds REALLY good (best dub w/best dialogue imo).

I originally started watching the show in English and though I like it a lot, I would personally like to first watch the episodes in French first with accurate translations in the subtitles (like translating it word for word & keeping the integrity of the dialogue).

I could go on (and I kind if had) but this is the general gist of my opinion.

Can I just… talk for a moment… about how much I love how, if you know them well, words don’t have synonyms?

English, for example, is a fantastic disaster. It has so many words for things that are basically the same, and I find there’s few joys in writing like finding the right word for a sentence. Hunting down that peculiar word with particular meaning that fits in seamlessly in a structure, so the story flows on by without any bumps or leaks.

Like how a shout is typically about volume, while a yell carries an angry edge and a holler carries a mocking one. A scream has shrillness, a roar has ferocity, and a screech has outrage. 

This is not to say that a yell cannot be happy or a holler cannot be complimentary, or that they cannot share these traits, but they are different words with different connotations. I love choosing the right one for a sentence, not only for its meanings but for how it sounds when read aloud. (Do I want sounds that slide together, peaceful and seamless, or something that jolts the reader with its contrast? Snap!)

I love how many words for human habitats there are. I love how cottage sounds quaint and cabin sounds rustic. I love steadiness of house, the elegance of residence, the stateliness of manor, and tired stubbornness of shack. I love how a dwelling is different to a den.

And I love how none of them can really touch the possessive warmness of all the connotations of home.

Words are great.

LUKA AND JULEKA ARE CANONNICALLY TWIN PEOPLE!!

THAT MEANT LUKA’S AGE PROBABLY WON’T BE OR EVEN REACH 17 YEARS OLD!!-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

(Idk Luka’s canon age, but people keep saying that Luka is like- 2 years older than Mari- So yeah- I felt like the need to adress this :))

I loved Crocoduel, but I’m pissed with Rose. She’s supposed to be Juleka’s best friend/ girlfriend, and yet she choose to focus all her attention on Luka, even after Juleka ran off crying. Rose didn’t even ATTEMPT to check on Juleka. Guiltrip, which occurs before this episode, practically revealed that Juleka seems to have some mental issues, and yet Rose didn’t even attempt to help her in this episode. I love you Rose, but you’re in trouble with me.

I’m so mad. Purple Tigresse has been revealed, and yet all I’m seeing are Lukanette and Adrienette fanfics. Absolutely no Juleka/Purple Tigresse fanfics. I’m so disappointed in the fandom right now.

So…umm…my theory was a little off.

And If I’m going to be completely honest I think that this spoiler is…

Warning: a bit of salt of coming up

And I’m being completely honest when I say that I think that this spoiler or synopsis of this episode is…

Sh*t

I think that this synopsis is sh*t.

And people may ask “Pigeon why do you think that this synopsis is sh*t?”

Well, the reason why I think it’s sh*t is because the synopsis itself is bland. I mean, I get that some of the details from the episode might not be present in the synopsis, but they could’ve done a bit better. I’ve seen short theories that are better than the synopsis. Not to mention, what I got from both the synopsis and the trailer are totally different. From what I got from the trailer (evident from my theory) Juleka is feeling left out or guilty either because of the attention Luka is getting from their friends or (I got this from another theory that is going around that I agree with) Jagged taking Luka on tour with him. The parents fight either because of Juleka feeling left out or Jagged taking Luka on tour. Then, BAM! akumatization and you know how it goes. But! From what I got from the synopsis it seems that Marinette’s break up with Luka is affecting her friends, so they try to make help Marinette and Luka talk. And I’m just like “THAT’S IT!?! THAT’S THE MAIN PLOT AFFAGFAF”. I mean I was expecting better, and I bet that some of the fandom, or even most of the fandom was expecting better. Because as I said before “That’s It!?!”. And don’t even get me started on another problem I have with this spoiler.

So, first of all, we all know how “Truth” ended, right? If not, let me give you a little refresher. At the end of the episode “Truth” both Marinette and Luka meet up at the bridge (I don’t know the name of the place sooooo…sue me :p) where Marinette explains to Luka that they can’t continue their relationship because she doesn’t want to lie to him, which Luka fully understands. Then, they hug and Jagged and Luka meet and yada yada yada. So, from what I got from the episode and everything Marinette says throughout the season, she can’t date Luka or date in general because she doesn’t want to lie to them or to put it simply she can’t be in a relationship because she’s Ladybug. But, the synopsis says and I quote “Marinette has avoided Luka at all costs since she broke up with him, because she likes Adrien”…”BECAUSE SHE LIKES ADRIEN” HOW THE HECK DID SHE GO FROM NOT WANTING TO LIE TO LUKA BECAUSE SHE’S LADYBUG TO “BeCAuSe ShE LiKEs AdRIeN!” EXPLAIN ASTRUC EXPLAIN! Is this just another way to shove AdRIeN into the plot again? (Yes I said it and I hope I did @miraculouscontent proud) Or is it just another coincidence? Just like how it was a coincidence that the tweet that said Luka was 2 years older than Juleka “magically” disappeared after Astruc decided that Luka and Juleka were twins. HMMM!?! Care To Explain Astruc!?! And speaking of the Couffaine siblings being twins, it says in the synopsis that the time setting for the episode is “Juleka’s Birthday” but shouldn’t it be the “TWINS” birthday because their twins, right? Hmmm, Astruc? Explain That! (ok so I’m a little biased on this part because I love Luka but hey it got to be said)

Anywho! I’m just going to leave it at that until I’ve seen the episode. Because, if I’m being completely honest I left out a lot of thoughts about this synopsis that I’ll just save until I’ve seen the episode itself.

And since I don’t want to end this on a bad note…

LOOK AT HOW CUTE JULEKA LOOKS AHHHH!! ISTG SHE’S ADORABLE!!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day! :)

And always remember…

But that’s just my opinion (・ε・)

So I’ve Got a Theory…

Or call it a hunch, but I think I know the basic summary of how the new episode “Crocoduel” is going to go. Well, I at least know like the first part.

Warning: Spoilers from the new trailer so umm… you have been warned… I guess :)

So, from what I got from the trailer I can only guess that the main reason why the class is having a get together at the liberty is because of a Kitty Section concert (evidence with juleka wearing her kitty section costume) and it all starts all nice and fun with kitty section having their mini concert. Then, of course when everything is done with the concert and everyone is just hanging out and talking amongst each other everyone notices that Luka is like in the background just fiddling with his guitar. Then, we get a little lukanette scene where Marinette asks Juleka if Luka’s alright (because yk after everything that happened with “Truth” and all) and Marinette gets all flustered when Juleka asks why she’s asking and all. Then, que everyone noticing Luka is all alone and everyone comforting him ( I also forgot to mention that with everyone comforting Luka or everyone giving attention to Luka that Juleka is feeling a little left out and all) ((I would also believe that everyone hugging Luka is just the last straw for her because yk Thomas Astruc apparently made up his mind to just make them twins all of a sudden (((i’m not being salty, i’m just saying(￣3￣)))) (i’m totally being salty ( ￣ω￣ )) and with everyone like caring for Luka because he just found out Jagged is his dad and feeling bad for him, not knowing (or maybe knowing idk) that their twins she just feels invisible or lonely. Which makes Juleka flee the scene (which Luka notices, of course) and Marinette following after her. Juleka and Marinette have a heartfelt talk about how Juleka feels left out and invisible, which almost results in her akumatization. Then, que Luka going to Juleka and comforting her (because he is the best brother anyone can ask for (╥﹏╥) <3), which idk how but I guess somehow Anarka finds out about this and blames Jagged for not paying enough attention to Juleka. Then here comes the Couffaine Family Drama, which cause both Jagged and Anarka to get akumatized. And I believe at first they’re battling each other in their akuma forms. Que, Ladybug interfering then the two akuma’s ganging up on her. I would also like to assume that Chat Noir shows up late to this battle because he’s been doing that a lot lately (• 3 •) ((not being salty, just saying (￣3￣))) (i’m totally being salty ( ￣ω￣ )) Then, Ladybug gives Juleka the Tiger miraculous, which debuts Tigress Pourpre. Then they save paris as usual with the help of the new superhero. After, everything is done with everyone apologizes for not noticing Juleka’s feeling and maybe we get a Juleka and Jagged moment but idk. Then the episode is done.

So my thoughts on this whole theory…

Are pretty iffy if I’m being honest. Don’t get me wrong I believe the whole Luka getting attention from everyone, Juleka feeling either guilty or left out, and the whole Couffaine Family Drama is pretty spot on ((hehe “spot on”)) but I at least think there would be more to it like maybe a bit of adrinette shit I mean mentions here and there ((not being salty, promise)) (((i’m totally being salty ;))) And I would also like to believe that everyone is just rubbing salt into the wounds when they mention to Juleka about how they feel bad for Luka and all, but that’s mainly it. Maybe a little snarky remark from Ladybug asking why Chat noir was late and him backfiring with asking why Rena Rouge wasn’t with her (maybe asking in a sarcastic way why her new partner wasn’t with her) ((i’m not being salty, i’m just being honest)) (¬‿¬) but yeah that’s mostly it. I would also like to see a little appearance from Vipereon, but that’s unlikely to happen so I’m not betting on it. But yeah that’s it.

I hope you liked this little theory ((that turned out to be longer than I thought)) and I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day :)

and also remember …

But this is just my opinion (・ε・)

((Also like it’s 5:00 in the morning and I’m tired as heck but at the same time I’m wide awake so… halp ● ﹏ ●))

CouPAIN siblings, amirite? 😔 Crocoduel pls be gentle with them.

Me in strong denial : THIS ISN'T FORESHADOWING, EVERYTHING'S GREAT, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD
