- the uk has voted to leave the european union for a lot of reasons but the main being xenophobia and immigration laws against refuges
- the uk has been governed by the european union up until now – because they don’t have their own constitution or bill of rights or anything of the sort, they’ve been dependent on the EU for guidance
- by leaving, the uk is no longer under any trade laws, union agreements, any sort of legislation or statue or agreement which is just…yikes
- the pound has dropped to its lowest value in over 35 years and the world economy is in flux by the upset
- scotland voted to remain in the EU so like yikes part two
- basically: @britian wyd

buttonsnotion asked: okay but think of this: would Jacob Stone be Eliott's alias? or result of an artifact :3
Like an artifact turned him into Jacob? I AM INTRIGUED.
I also like the idea that they’re twins. And at some point the Leverage team is stealing something and Eliot’s like oh my god don’t touch it, Parker, seriously leave it the hell alone and then makes a call. Twenty minutes later Jacob ROLLS UP with his team and everyone stares at each other for a while and then everyone, as a single unit, turns to Eliot and Jacob and they’re like “What?”
Meanwhile Flynn is David-Tennanting his way around the artifact in the background and literally nobody is paying any attention until he sets off a bomb countdown. Even then they barely focus on it while they’re fixing it.
(”So, how do people tell the two of you apart?”
“Well, Jacob can’t cook.”
“And Eliot can’t speak Greek.”
“I speak Greek fine, just not your crazy mystical ancient dialects that literally nobody uses!”
“He can’t speak much Latin either.”
“Do you want me to tell them about the acquacotta soup incident?”)
My son wanted to know what would happen if an Ent got the One Ring. Something violent, probably.
Stones will break, and roots will squeeze, vines will grow and bend all knees; mushrooms hunt and thorns yolk; weeds strangle and flowers choke. The age of skin is done. The hour of bark is come. Baruuum.
holy shit wes dat poem
This isn’t even my fandom and I got chills.

I don’t know the rules of Miraculous at all outside of what I’ve gathered from tumblr, so maybe this is illegal in canon but
I’m highly entertained by the idea that like, the class takes a trip to somewhere high-security that requires passing through a metal detector. So they tell the kids that all jewelry needs to be removed. Which is like, cue small amount of panic from Adrien/Marinette as they remove their ring and earrings. Some other patrons see their anxiousness and assume it must be because those earrings/ring are highly valuable.
And this includes the akumized person in line who’s here to rob the place.
Kids head inside. Akumized person overpowers the guard, grabs the jewelry basket, rushes inside to steal whatever else. In their hurry, Adrien’s ring drops out of the basket.
Marinette notices the person first. Hands shoot to her ears, but nothing’s there. So she races back to the security desk to retrieve her earrings. Lo and behold, they’re not there. There’s only a dropped ring on the floor and…Chat Noir’s miraculous? Plagg sees her, and all rules-of-hiding be damned pretty much tells her “Yeah I have no idea where Chat is. And that person in there is akumized. And you already seem to be aware of this so just put on this ring I’ll walk you through what’s about to happen.”
Very confused, she puts the ring on her finger. And (to Plagg’s confusion now) Marinette activates it entirely on her own, and becomes Mari-chat Noir (this is weird). But there’s not much time to think about it. Plagg just gives her the speed-course in Chat’s powers and she rushes back inside to fight.
The fight, of course, gets Adrien’s attention. Who now sees the rather clumsy battle between akumized person and “Hey that’s not me”!Chat Noir. Mari-chat Noir lands a kick on the person, which sends the jewelry basket flying. People start running from the scene. The basket lands next to Adrien. He drops to his knees and starts sifting through it frantically for his ring. It’s not there. What is there is Ladybug’s miraculous.
Tiki’s response is more or less. “You have to go help Ladybug up there. Are your ears pierced? Never mind. Just take these earrings and clip them to your shirt I’ll walk you through what to do.” So Adrien does, and (to Tiki’s surprise) he knows how to activate the earrings, and becomes Adri-bug.
Adrien joins the fight. The first 30 seconds are taken up by mutual “Hey that’s my miraculous!”/”Where did you get that?”/”If you’re Ladybug, and I’m Ladybug, then who’s flying the plane?” exchanges. But hell, at least they’re used to working together. Except now they have to coordinate by giving each other commands for the best Ladybug/Chat Noir technique, now as Adri-bug and Mari-chat Noir, to use in this situation.
The students watching the fight are downright baffled because it’s definitely Ladybug and Chat Noir up there. Except…Ladybug is Chat Noir. And Chat is Ladybug. And describing the fight becomes downright impossible because it boils down to, “Then Ladybug whacked the guy in the face. Well I mean it was Chat Noir. But Chat Noir was Ladybug. Okay I mean Chat Noir the person was Ladybug the superhero and he whacked the guy in the face. No wait, let me rephrase.”
After the fight’s over, both of them agree to shut their eyes, remove the jewelry, and drop the earrings/ring back into each other’s hands, and turn away. It wouldnt be right to out each other over this. Both Tiki and Plagg go home with their proper owner. And both of them are quiet in the realization of what happened. Because yes, that was both Ladybug and Chat Noir fighting just now, and both Tiki and Plagg know exactly which classmate they flagged down to take on the opposite miraculous role.

as much as its fun to laugh at these brexit memes i don’t want anyone to forget how serious this actually is. i have one of my housemates crying in my room bc her career relied on the uk being a part of the eu (she wanted to go into foreign diplomacy). my mum is freaking out because the uk basically just put xenophobia and racism ahead of its own interests and she doesn’t know what that means for her immigrant self, or her british born foreign children. my brother-in-law who works for a french company is terrified that his job won’t be there tomorrow. i’m living in the netherlands rn and the pound has plummeted so much that the money i budgeted at the start of this month is no longer enough for me to make rent and eat. this is just the beginning and this is only how brexit is effecting one singular person (me). i can’t even imagine the wider damage this is gonna cause.
