This one is a random thought I had, but I decided to leave the clarification of the whole Disney-Fox and pegging down some myths from it. Let us begin...

1) They bought Fox to get the X-Men!

False. Absolutely. Disney made the Marvel Studios for one reason, which is the same reason Warner Bros. recently made the DC Studios (recently as in "right after the bombing of Justice League"): Marvel movies are not a main business for Disney and there's already a company that knows more about Marvel movies than them, which is Marvel themselves. However, the reason they went to buy Fox was because Fox still owned the rights to the movies they filmed... specifically, they owned the rights to the first 6 Star Wars films. You can own the characters by buying the company that owns the rights of the characters, but to won the movies, you need to deal with the studio that made them, meaning that Disney, until the buyout, was unable to use the first movies of the Star Wars franchise for a marathon. Hell, that's likely the reason for there being so many side-story movies: Disney needed to get more movie action rolling. The buyout was more than just X-Men and Fantastic Four. It included things like the first 6 Star Wars movies and Avatar, which makes sense since both are prominently displayed in Disney's theme parks and Disney already owned the character rights to one of those two. Also were things like the remaining rights of Hulu and things like that, but let us not delve into it, neither the end of the Blue Sky end of the Dreamworks Curse which I'll talk about later. About the first statement of this paragraph...

1.5) Why Disney can make Marvel movies but Warner can't make DC movies?! DC is better than Marvel!

This is not about Disney-Fox, but needs to be mentioned. Well, as I explained before, Marvel Movies are made by Marvel Studios while DC movies are made by DC Studios... now. Because the starting steps of the ill-fated DC Extended Universe were given by Warner Bros. own studio, while Disney decided they had other things to do than get into a "teenage squabble"... as they are a kids company, for crying out loud, they have childhoods to own! While Disney is very hands on with the things they own, they know they can't just have one studio handle everything they do. That's why Pixar is still making the Disney-Pixar movies while Disney themselves take care on trying to revitalize their princess stuff with the remakes and whatnot: Disney prefers to delegate. Warner, unfortunately, made the comic movies high priority.

The second reason is DC tried to hard to mix in all their comics while Marvel just started up with comics and then half way they just said "screw it, let's go wayside". I'll explain that later...

2) Disney was lucky to buy Fox before the X-Men went into Comcast/Sony/whoever bought Fox first.

A lot of people wondered what would had happened to the MCU if Disney was unable to buy Fox, like do they own the movie rights to X-Men or not? And what about the FF? Well, the answer for both is the same: Disney would own them. Or rather Marvel Studios would. As you are kind of aware, Disney owns Marvel, and that means they own the characters. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make the Spider-Man animated series or have him in the Phineas and Ferb/Marvel crossover. What 21st Century Fox (keep the name in mind, it will be useful later) owned was the CINEMATIC rights to the characters tied to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Same way, Sony owns the cinematic rights to any character that's tied to Spider-Man and Comcast (Universal) owns the distribution rights to the jolly green giant Hulk, which is the reason Hulk is unlikely to get a solo movie for the time being. Now, about the rights that 21CF held over Marvel properties... yeah, those cannot be sold. Unlike any other kind of rights, these are not "property" rights that can be translated with a buy out. Those are contracts that are made between two companies and if one of the companies cease to exist, the contract becomes moot. And that was the thing: If 21CF ceased to exist, the contract they had with Marvel to make movies with their characters would had ended, returning the rights to Marvel. The only difference, just like with the case stated about Star Wars, would had been that Disney would had been unable to use the X-Men and Fantastic Four films already made by Fox for any sort of event they wanted them to... why would they is another story but to each its own.

3) They bought Fox, they can buy anything!

Yeah... that's a hard no. This arose a bit when the news were rolling that Disney and Sony had broke off and Spidey was being ejected from the MCU. This was due to Disney trying to get a better deal for Spider-Man just as he was being made into their "core" to replace Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark/Iron-Man, as you may all know that Spider-Man's movies are owned by Sony (If it's about Spidey or his rogues' gallery, it's on Sony; if it's an Avengers movie or only involves Spidey and MCU characters, is on Marvel Studios), but Sony was not interested as... well, the Spider-Man movies are the best thing they have currently going for them and thy need all that money, dammit. So, yeah, they broke off and some people just went off and asked them to buy Sony, as it was clear Disney can buy them, after the Fox deal. But thing is that, while Fox was kind of lagging in media outside of movies (and even the movies were not that great), Sony was doing great on both movies and non-movies. Remember, Sony not only owns Columbia and Tristar, they own the Playstation and are one of the biggest brands of multimedia and electronics. Sony is too big for Disney to absorb, specially after the cost of taking in 21st Century Fox. Also, Sony is a bigger company than Disney as well specially outside of entertainment. Comcast has a similar deal and let us not even talk about AT&T... who are the owners of Warner, yeah. So, no, Disney can't buy everything ever. Though they were the first ones to try.

4) Disney can probably now close Fox News, for crying out loud! / 5) Oh, no, Disney removed Fox from 20th Century Fox! It's killing the name!

Hard no. Extreme no. Absolute no in the 20 circles of NO. Disney can't kill the name Fox... because they don't own it. In fact, both News Corp and Fox are still alive outside of Disney. Wha-WHAAAAT.
See, this is the thing with selling stuff: you don't want everything. You may only want certain stuff. And that's what happened. But first, let me talk about something you likely didn't notice:

Did you know that since 2013, News Corporation no longer owns the 20th Century Fox assets? You probably didn't pay attention but... since 2013, the classic golden vanity plate of the beginning no longer is punctuated with the famous "A News Corporation Company" byline. That's because the old News Corporation split its publishing business into a new News Corporation, the media remaining in the newly named 21st Century Fox Inc. This confused me a bit at the start as I was wondering if Fox changed the logo when I saw the news of the acquisition using the 21CF logo. Anyway, thing is that Fox separated from News Corporation into a new company that still remained the same (even the owner of the 21CF was the same guy, Rupert Murdoch). Guess what: It happened AGAIN.

Before the buy out, Rupert Murdoch split the news and sports rights, as well as the Big Ten Network (BTN, for the confused ones), into another corporation... Fox Corporation. This corporation is the new sister to the still living News Corporation, which remained the same since the split in 2016. And yes, Rupert Murdoch owns that corporation, meaning he technically owns the name "Fox". As I said, this new Fox Corporation is the parent company of Fox News, as well as Fox Sports (Only in North America, the regional broadcasters are owned by Disney now) and even the original Fox networks as well as the actual Fox channel (which still gets 20CF programming despite the buyout). Thus, the name Fox lives outside of the Mouse House... which is likely the reason why Disney changed the name of the studio to 20th Century Studios: Disney bought 21CF and thus the Fox stuff... but they didn't buy the name of Fox, as Murdoch still holds it. That's why A) Disney is not killing the name, they are just not using it to avoid confusion with the "New Fox", a.k.a. Fox Corporation; and B) Why Disney won't shut Fox News no matter how much you ask, as they don't own that thing.

Anyway, those were my random thoughts, I will leave more at a later date.

Apparently, the Squid Sisters, who are already stated not to be sisters, are apparently not even squids... okay...

Okay, first than all: Yes, I'm a fan of Miraculous. Haven't seen episodes in a while, but I have seen a lot.

Second: This is about a video I saw with some info that was mailed to the youtuber. Yeah, a Youtuber actually got a mail of info of future episodes. I will link the video, but there's a little catch...



Yeah, the vid is in Spanish.

So, you'll need a little of a translation. Let's go slow.

Also, for those that are new and haven't seen any of season 3, quick needed info for this:
(Ladybug) The leaks by Jeremy Zag himself (probably to Thomas Astruc's dismay) are that 3 new Miraculous will show up: Snake Miraculous, Mouse Miraculous and Dragon Miraculous. Also, all synopsis are up for all episodes, so the names are confirmed and part of the episode's actions are too.
(Ladybug) The Snake will be used mainly by Luka, who w3ill take the name of Viperion, but Adrien will also gain access to it, becoming Aspik (both designs leaked). Also, Chat Noir will get access to that power as well, becoming Snake Noir and apparently wearing both Miraculouses (all in a leaked design). Miraculous tool will be a harp
(Ladybug) The Mouse Miraculous will be used by Marinette of all people, the name being revealed to be Multimouse. It also has the leak of her gaining a fusion of sorts with the Fox, but no name is given to that one. The weapon, by the leaks, seems to be a mix of mic and whip.
(Ladybug) The Dragon Miraculous will appear and there's the rumor that Kagami will use it, no name or design leaked. We know, however, the tool will be a sword, as it's shown in the design leaked for Dragon Bug (Ladybug + Dragon Miraculous).
(Ladybug) Another design leaks involve Ladybug and Chat Noir swapping powers. The leaks show the names for these swapped forms are Lady Noir and Mr. Bug. This was thought for some to happen in Oblivio due to the memory thing, but we got Cardboard Noir, at least.
(Ladybug) Final leak: Jade Turtle, Master Fu's transformation with the Turtle Miraculous. Apparently, it will appear in this season. Some thought the episode Backwarder, where a friend of Fu would appear and be akumatized, was gonna bring him to enough prime to do this transformation, but didn't happen either.

The guy of the video, who goes as Nathaniel FD and has references to tomatoes for obvious reasons begins showing on screen the header of the mail he got (Even revealing the name of the sender) and saying that, if the mail is true, Oblivio is just the tip of the iceberg (like the meme says in the vid: We are ALL. GONNA. DIE.)

After the intro is set, Vid begins mentioning the mail guy, Eduardo Garcia Perez, and stating that all the data he's about to rely are non confirmed leaks of select episodes of the season. I'll go with each in order. Your chance to avoid spoilers and keep your sanity ends in 3...

Okay, let's spoil in order (kinda, it's all not confirmed... but also too elaborate to be truly fake):

Miraculous Yin-Yang icon Shuddering Letter: M Shuddering Letter: I Shuddering Letter: R Shuddering Letter: A Shuddering Letter: C Shuddering Letter: U Shuddering Letter: K Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: R Miraculous Yin-Yang icon
Apparently, the power of Sabrina Raincomprix as Miraculer would be the ability to steal the powers of the Miraculous, probably by the way of stealing the Kwami connections to the Miraculous. And we know this because apparently, Tikki and Plagg will be reconnected into the Miraculous of the other (Plagg into the Ladybug Miraculous and Tikki into the Cat Miraculous), making both Adrien and Marinette to swap identities as mentioned above (somehow, not revealing each other). This will bring a slight personality change between them apparently (the vid even compared the idea to the episode "Switched" of Teen Titans, where Raven and Starfire switch bodies thanks to Puppet King). Also, no ear piercing conundrum for Adrien. Too bad, but well...

Miraculous Yin-Yang icon Shuddering Letter: R Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: F Shuddering Letter: K Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: K Shuddering Letter: T Shuddering Letter: D Shuddering Letter: O Shuddering Letter: K Shuddering Letter: K Miraculous Yin-Yang icon Shuddering Letter: D Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: S Shuddering Letter: P Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: R Shuddering Letter: A Shuddering Letter: D Shuddering Letter: A Miraculous Yin-Yang icon
Rumors said that Viperion (Luka using the Snake Miraculous) would come in the former episode, but given the production codes shown in the image, the episode of Reflektdoll (where apparently both Hawkmoth and Mayura would make Juleka both being akumatized again as Reflekta and gain a sentimonster, the titular Reflectdoll) is too early to be that episode (well, that's more of an excuse, but you know...) However, the episode Desperada may take this place: Marinette will go to Luka to fight this guitarist that would become into the titular villain, because she knows no other person to fight a guitarist that another guitarist. This episode will have clumsy Mari being a clumsy LB due to crush issues (Marinette's kryptonite, apparently), which will make Chat Noir think that Viperion is the "other guy" that LB mentioned in Frozer... so yeah, the secret identity rectangle will tangle up even more. Like... SERIOUSLY!

Synopsis says that Max Kante's mother will be akumatized into Startrain along with the titular bullet train... and the mail says it will be akumatized IN SPACE! For those who don't remember, the season 2 had, among the things that were part of the intended ideas for the show but were rejected (alongside Mayura being both Hawkmoth's boss and the design itself) were transformation stones. One of these transformations from the stones was already used for the Aqua transformations. Another one may come in this episode as a magicaroon/magicheese, the one put as the "Stone of the Moon", which allowed for space flight and breathing. There's no white magicaroon yet, so I dunno if they will use that one or if master Fu will decode it from the book. So... let's see what third power they unlock...

Miraculous Yin-Yang icon Shuddering Letter: K Shuddering Letter: W Shuddering Letter: A Shuddering Letter: M Shuddering Letter: I:bademoticon:   Shuddering Letter: B Shuddering Letter: U Shuddering Letter: S Shuddering Letter: T Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: R Miraculous Yin-Yang icon
In this episode, Ms. Mendeleiev becomes the titular villain, with the power to... well, bust akumas. This seems to include Trixx... and Tikki, leaving Marinette powerless. HOWEVER... before losing Tikki, Marinette had gone to pick the Rat Miraculous from the box, so she gives it to Chat Noir to try and find someone for it to use... and Chat goes directly for Marinette, who takes it in order to not being suspected of being LB, taking the identity of Multimouse. And alongside Marinette being clumsy again due to the lack of experience with the new Miraculous, apparently, the powers of Multimouse are to either copy or unite with another miraculous or maybe even an akumatized itself, as in this episode she'll also take on the fused Multimouse + Fox appearance, using Mirage to trick Kwami Buster and eventually Chat Noir that both are different people. It's an... interesting idea, honestly.
QAlso, Adrien will try and feign ignorance on the new heroine to Mari (no kidding) and Alya will found out Marinette's secret.. of being Multimouse. And no, she won't catch the fact Mari is LB (again, no kidding).

Miraculous Yin-Yang icon Shuddering Letter: F Shuddering Letter: E Shuddering Letter: A Shuddering Letter: S Shuddering Letter: T Miraculous Yin-Yang icon
This is one of the fat ones: A past friend of Wang Fu will come and be akumatized as the title villain. As a protection, Fu will take both LB and CN's Miraculous away. In this episode we will have not only Wang Fu becoming Jade Turtle, while Mari goes to Fu's house to retrieve the Miraculous for her and Chat (and, again, SHENANIGANS FOR THE IDENTITY KEEPING. SERIOUSLY.) and will lead them both to not only fight alongside Master Fu... but also will lead to have Master Fu both reveal what the hell happened in the temple as well as... him giving Marinette the box! Yeah, the akumatized will show Fu's home to Hawkmoth and it will no longer be a safe place for the Box of Miraculous to be hidden in, leading to Marinette picking her home as the new hiding point. Kinda leading into the future that will have Marinette becoming the next guardian.

There's not much to this episode where Max Kanté is reakumatized, other than, just like with Stormy Weather, he'll get a power-up and being able to travel to other countries... and LB and CN will be in pursuit, leading to the pair globetrotting to get Max both back to Paris ad back to the the good side. Not like being in space, but it's close enough.

In this episode where Kagami's mother Tomoe will be akumatized we'll see Kagami being given the power of the Dragon Miraculous by Marinette, who will feel kind of odd about it (because Kagami is her rival in Adrien and all that). As a Miraculous heroine, Kagami will be both very cold and eficient, leading Chat Noir to be afraid of her (yeah, another vertex in the secret identity conundrum... SERIOUSLY!!).

A future Akumatized will come to the present to ally with Hawk Moth... and reveal him his terrible fate. Apparently, as revealed by the titular villain to Hawkmoth and as revealed by the FUTURE LB AND CN to our dumbfounded pair, Hawkmoth will be utterly defeated, unveiled and put behind bars. Also yes, Marinette and Adrien will find each other identity, they will both be utterly distraught by Hawkmoth's real identity and, as unveiled in a chat with each other, they'll get MARRIED. Also, they will hint at Hawkmoth's plan for the ultimate power and the reveal Timetagger gives to Hawkmoth will likely lead to him to get his plan for the season finale up to speed. It's also likely the most think hints will be given after Timetagger is defeated and the future holders have to return to their time (as well as their marriage thing). One thing they will reveal the heroes are that, for the identity thing SHENNANIGANS WILL CONTINUE!!

SERIOUSLY!!!

The former is the episode where Adrien will be akumatized into his alternate self, but white... or not. As the filtration says that this Chat Blank will be a sentimonster by Mayura which, apparently, will be what happens to Marinette in the latter episode as well. This sentimonster will, somehow, leave Adrien unable to use his own miraculous, probably because that's what's affected, apparently. LB is on the look of Luka for the Snake, but she won't find him. He'll go to the next option, which is Adrien. She'll give him the miraculous to transform him into Aspik. Also, Ladybug will become Clumsibug due to being close to Adrien, leading Adrien to think it's the Miraculous' doing rather than any kind of feeling...

SERIOUSLY!!!!

And this one's the season finale, where Chloe becomes the title villainess with the powers of all Miraculous, apparently, and she'll be used for Hawkmoth's final plan... this is also where the fusion forms, Dragon Bug and Snake Noir, will show up, mostly because the attack will threaten all the Miraculouses. This will be a big fat episode and the second part of a two parter, as the episode prior to that one (Loveater, which will be Chloe's parents fused in one akumatized a la Oblivio) and this one will be the two parter "Battle of the Miraculous". This will be a mess, I'm sure...

Well... other than "Ladybug" probably having Mlutimouse again as Mari's transformation, not much to say except that even if only half of these leaks are real, I'm gonna lose my cupcakes. No shit, I will totally lose them.

What are your two cents on all this?

Okay, this is gonna be a strange one: You know about the RPs where two people make a story in collab?
D-Do you?... Am I the only one?...

NVM, thing is, this is gonna be this one. I'll put the "RP starter" and a "lead comment" and the next user replies with another paragraph to follow that one and another user replies that one with another paragraph following the previous one and- you catch the hitch, don'cha? You can add anything: characters, locations, MacGuffins, what you damn please. I'll put my characters as your playthings for the first post (in fact, ZZG indicates their names, Zee-Zee and Gwen) I dunno if I'll add later to the chain, so whatevs. Only petition: No killing the couple.. or the individuals, this is a public thread, keep the gore away, if you please. It will have 18+ stuff due to the characters and their info.

Also, will allow multiple threads of comments, so you can start another line. If you want, you can even comment to other comments, no need to hook up in the last reply made.

Okay, may Democracy have mercy on their souls...

----

It was a fairly regular morning in sunny Los Angeles, where our heroines/lovers, Zee-Zee and Gwen, are having their breakfast on the kitchen. Zee-Zee seems pretty distraught, though. "Is there anything concering you, mon cherié?", asks Gwen.
"Huh?", says Zee-Zee as she looks at her partner. "Well, dunno... I feel strange... like if God decided to get lazy and just let us to our luck... I have a weird hunch about this. A very weird and crazy hunch..." She quickly drinks her coffee and readies to get to her work at the station, while Gwen leisurely sips on her green tea.
