This is probably the longest blog I'll ever write, and it's about a tv show for kids.
Miraculous Ladybug is a series for children about a French half Chinese teenager, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, who is a superhero, Ladybug, and saves Paris from super villains, but it is so much more, trust me.
I was six years old when I was watching Disney Channel in my grandma's house, it was 2015, and I remember perfectly how the narrator said ''Miraculous: The adventures of Ladybug and Cat Noir, new show!''. I first started watching the first season obviously and, wow, you don't know how mach nostalgia it gives me. I could even say I memorized some of the dialogues, I remember the animation and frames of it so well, the background music even got stuck in the back of my mind and I didn't even notice. I started watching so many things on the internet; parodies, those ''crack'' videos, theory videos, memes, songs, cosplays, photoshop videos, even fanfiction... It was crazy. I started fantasizing about that show all the time, creating oc's in my head, inventing au's, etc... Soon, Miraculous became a literal part of me. I can't even put it into words, this is the best I can do.
After two years, in 2017, the second season aired and my obsession only grew. During these times, I was a bit of an outcast, so I imagined Ladybug and Cat Noir talking or playing with me so I wouldn't be so lonely. I think season 2 is my favorite, it's he one I ''felt the most'', the one that got to me the most, the one that felt more lively. Not long after, people started to be aware of my not-so-normal hyper fixation for Miraculous.
When the third season came out, it was 2019, and I was almost 10 years old. I wouldn't say ''bullied'' but yes, I was teased for liking that show so much in school. Again, my obsession was so much it started being annoying. I did get my period for the first time around that time so that + hormones + coronavirus + being in a class of kids/preteens that judged me = it was a little hard (aside from other personal stuff I won't be talking about).
I stopped liking Miraculous when I was in sixth grade but I did kind of catch up to it, and also the fourth season was a flop, that's just my pov. I can't even explain what Ladybug and Cat Noir made me feel, it was my whole life and my only personality trait, it was crazy. At the beggening, I did not like Chloe, but then I started liking her. This is random but I would literally put my hands together at night and fucking PREY to Thomas Astruc, because he had created the only thing that gave my life meaning. Currently, I dislike Thomas for what he did on Twitter, I think we all know what I'm talking about. I don't like the creator but I LOVE Miraculous.
Now, I'm sixteen. and all of this is coming back, which makes me happy because I'm not embarased for liking a kids show. I hope the series last long and when it comes to an end, I'm sure I'll cry. By the way, I don't really think Miraculous is a show for kids. I think the original idea was for teenagers/adults, then they changed for kids, but maybe they didn't get quite the idea, because it looks like it's dedicated for older kids. The jokes, the scenes, the themes... Everything! They did not do a very good job with that. It's a pretty deep story.
