(no subject)
I slept badly the night before last, waking up quite a lot every so often. At 3:45am, I had to get up for a drink, and then was TOTALLY AWAKE, so decided to lie in bed, reading one of my French grammar books (I've done it before. I suppose I pick French because I'm familiar with it, where German is still a little out of reach for me).
I've started making a notebook in which to refresh my French, but also record German equivalents of phrases in the hope that I won't forget the German. And also because I hope that it will strengthen my knowledge of both languages (because I'm so mad at myself that I didn't put more effort into keeping a good knowledge of French. I could've been doing translation work by now if I had!)

Mum has started calling Miraculous Ladybug "The Squeaky Girls" (because the French dub follows anime voice cues, it seems to me*). She then said that sounded like a knockoff girl group (because of course it does).
AW MAN I LOVE THIS SHOW.
(I totally was not expecting to, btw).
(Talking of which, from next Saturday, the Disney channel are showing new episodes! \o/ I actually don't hate the English dub as much as I thought I might - I don't like some of the voices, but I don't hate this version).
# I think Volpina is going to be the Italian photographer's daughter. Fandom seems to think she's going to be Nino's cousin, but I don't buy it (fandom is also super excited about her turning up, but I really couldn't care less. No, I don't mean that. I'm just not hype, I guess).
Apparently it aired in France today, but I'm (sort of) avoiding spoilers. Though, as usual, people on tumblr are shitty about what they're tagging (not that I've been on there today but I noticed yesterday, too).
# Fandom also thinks Adrien's dad is Hawkmoth, but I don't. I think you're supposed to think that, but I honestly think that'd be too obvious (and also impossible, given a couple of episodes, but whatever, right?)
ETA: when I told mum that Hawkmoth's French name is Le Papillion, she immediately went, "NO! You can't have a villain called The Butterfly!", so then I had to explain why he had that name, but I don't think she was buying it. [/eta]
# I'm pretty sure Adrien knows Marinette is Ladybug. And I'm not talking on a subconscious level, I mean I think he's actually figured it out. (But obviously, he can't say anything because that would give away that he's Chat Noir, and she doesn't know that yet).

*in that teenage girls are very squeaky, and the villain has a voice from the depths of hell. In the English dub, the girls just sound normal, but the villain still sounds like he crawled out of hell (sort of).
