Ladybug - Debacle

From the few impressions I got from this series without having watched it (only a few compilations of the main characters finally confessing their love to each other), I'd still say that the main conflict is pretty stupid, while being surreal. At least it is doomed to be.

Marinette thinks her crush Adrian, that is a superhero named Chat Noir (what she does not know) and that hides behind a cat's exterior, will only like her as a self-confident superhero Ladybug self. Not the rest. This is why she rejects his love as Ladybug, but longs for Adrian as her human self.

I just don't get why they don't recognize the eyes of their significant other or at least their highly visible and unique hair cut. They love each other, don't they? And they pine for each other, shouldn't they figure it out on their own after a while?

The stubbornness and conflicts are quite humane and make you understand the main characters better, so no critique on that part of the story. The storyline and character development seem to be quite accurate and well written. And I suppose that, for a series aimed at a pretty young audience, the conflict hits home.

Yet, most importantly: Why on earth would you believe that someone would not love you for the person you are?

Yes, they are parts of yourself that you feel selfconscious about, yet in fact, they are still a part of yourself. Accept them; you are you, and no one can change that. You are special just the way you are. Learn to love yourself before loving someone else. If you do not love yourself, why should they?

You get more than you originally bargained for. This is the beauty of love. Thus, this is what you came for. Take it all or leave it. In the end, you are in it to win it. Love with all of your heart or do not bother calling it love at all. If you bring negative feelings or self-doubt into a relationship, it will probably not work out, as you will have to face other troubles too. A relationship build on negative feelings is not likely to develop into a happily ever after, I suppose (there are exceptions like hating someone and then falling in love with the person, still I only think you hated them in the beginning as you did not know them well enough to love them). The negative feelings concern yourself, not the other person, just to clarify that.

Finding your inner peace is something you need to do alone and for yourself. Fix your issues, before worrying about someone else's, because in the end: their problems are theirs to solve. Yes, you can help them, guide them, offer advice and so on. But in the end, you can only do so much.

No one can fix you, you need to fix yourself. No matter how painful it is, it will pay off as we can only make sense out of life together, if we keep trying separately to find solutions to our problems. I hope this is clear enough. Just like Marinette and Adrian will hopefully realize in the end.

They were pretty stupid not to see their obvious feelings for each other, yet this is something people do. We make mistakes, especially us teenagers with our hormonal stuff. In the end, we can only keep hoping that people work out their issues and clear up misunderstandings.

Life is complicated enough as is, please just refrain from judging, hiding your true feelings and taking people for someone they are not.

Thank you for understanding this, this will save humanity a lot of useless debacle over meaningless details on the basis of pure stupidity.

You can disagree of course. But-

if you don't know what you want, how can you expect to even guess what someone else wants?

I know what I want and I will do my best to get it.

If I do not know, I still stand by my decision.

What about you?
