Cartoon Conspiracy

Are the denizens of Bikini Bottom the mutations of atomic testing?

If you’ve been around the internet since 2015, you’ve likely seen a bunch of fan content featuring these two. A majority of you probably know their names and the basic rundown of the show’s status quo, which follows the typical Saturday morning cartoon Villain of the Week formula. After four seasons, that still hasn’t changed. But if you’re a Tumblr user that has ventured deep into the fandom, you’ll know that the superhero-y stuff is overshadowed by something far more powerful, something that can make or break a show, something that gives life… shipping. By now, everybody and their hamster knows that this show has spawned a multitude of shipping wars, and honestly, props to the show for reinventing the shipping wheel. I mean, pulling that off is… it’s quite something. But despite the infamous shipping wars within the fandom, which may or may not have caused one or the other to quit watching, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir actually has some deep lore and engaging mystery.
