Just found out that Mozart actually learnt to play the piano from his prodigy sister who wasn’t allowed to pursue music and was forced into marriage, they even burnt all her music and all evidence of her playing, the only evidence left a letter Mozart wrote of him praising it.
Ororo Munroe, Thee Storm has landed at the beach party! She's going to get us some clear skies for our festivities! We're sharing beach art of black characters from indie animation shows, books and movies that we like!
Comparing Alya with Kagami here is crazy, Kagami knows the full context behind the lie, has had way more time to process it, and on top of that was never lied to by Marinette
JK Rowling is perhaps the most clear example of supporting the art and not the artist being untenable. She uses the wealth she has to fund anti-trans campaigns. You can’t claim to support trans people and help her get more money to hurt us.
It was manipulation. She did it on purpose just so that Alya wouldn't as more questions. It's not until she hears Alya speaking through akumatized Marinette does she realize that Alya is still very angry. That's why she asked to talk right when they got the ladybug back

I didn't think I'd have to talk about this, but this is getting so ridiculous that it's starting to piss me off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These arguments about Alya "not being empathetic" or "not being a good friend" are just reflecting what you are, or what you'd ideally like to have, which is basically an ENABLER
Empathy doesn't always have to be portrayed through hugs or pats on the back. It doesn't mean dehumanizing yourself or setting aside your personal values just to comfort someone else. Empathy isn't JUST about offering comfort or saying nice things. And in this situation, Alya gets to choose whether she wants to empathize or simply cut ties with Marinette. She chooses to stay, but choosing to stay doesn't mean she has to smile at her and pretend everything is okay when Marinette violated Alya's personal values, which she already knew about contextually (the fact that Alya doesn't like lies carries weight because of her own life experiences), which only makes it worse. Alya has every right to be angry like anyone else, and she also has the right to set boundaries telling Marinette that if she wants to remain her best friend, then she can't lie to her again.
And if we're going to talk about Alya's mistakes, that's fine. Bring them to the table. But let's also talk about Marinette's mistakes. At the end of the day, they're both 14-year-old girls. They're far from flawless. Nobody is perfect and none of that should have to dehumanize either of them.
