"You're dislocated. Don't be like that. And you smile when you dive in, like you're never coming back"

This is a scene towards the end of the first Arc of Choice, where Weiss falls and Claire jumps after her to save her.

I also redisigned Weiss' Atlas outfit because I really don't like the Volume 7 look :(

If you zoom in you can see, that they are both crying :)

Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".

I hope your nostalgia is worth it

Strq family love for each other and their awful time communicating it part 100000 (featuring the fact that qrow is only blood related to the family now cause his deadbeat sister had a kid before she took off)

They all feel like they shouldn’t be there they all feel unloved

Qrow and yang both feel like awful reminders of bad things and unqualified caretakers who shouldn’t have been left in charge and I love them for that

(This one was paneled yesterday but I finished it today)

Anyway my “rwby characters mental illnesses vs yang xiao long” where yang is usually losing

She’s like the representative of how others suffer cause of YOUR mental problems which is fun

Anyway qrow loves the kids and hates himself but that actually hurts yang and ruby both and I LOVE THAT FIR THEMMMM qrows pov of yang as an innocent kid he loves unjustly tied to him and his sister and yangs pov of qrow as a person she loves corrupted and possessed by an addiction that turns him into something she can’t comprehend and can’t save him from

And yang believing that Qrows self hatred must also lead to a hatred of her because of the difference between how he treats Ruby vs her when it’s really that his feelings for yang are tied up in different kinds of feelings of guilt and shame AND there’s probably a piece of him that does think she’s doomed by being related to him and Raven

People have real issues understanding why the absence of romance and sexual desire is such a big deal. "No one bothers you over your sexual orientation! You're basically a straight person!" No wrong. The older you get the more your life is considered a failure for failing to find a life partner and get your 2.5 kids in.

Like people make fun of middle aged women for not getting married or being divorced or "always the bridesmaid never the bride" and all like "oh she's desperate! No one wants her! Old maid!' but they become straight up hostile and upset when you tell them you never want to date.

Being unpartnered after your mid twenties is just like "oh what's wrong with you" and "don't worry you'll find your guy" "aren't you afraid of being alone" "who will take care of you" "you're running out of time to have kids" and no matter what you are or aren't people straight up don't understand that you don't want them.

People tend to forget that queer is a word that means weird, and if you step out of heteronormativity you're weird in the eyes of the heteonormative society, wether you want different relationships or no relationships at all.

The core wound of this demographic is being rejected and being relentlessly asked to stop your bullshit relative to romance and sex, and to get back in the ranks. The aroace definitely qualify.

And since being rejected is obviously a veeeeery common trauma in the queer community, and people tend to reenact unhealed patterns, it's not rare to see queer people rejecting other queer people with shit like biphobia, being picky with who "qualify" as trans, dismissing aroaces etc...

Let's put rejection somewhere on a dusty shelf for a while and see how it feels. I'm sure it's freeing.

i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this

I’d set up a little surprise in another app and posted it there❣️

It’s been great fun again this year. Thank you💚🧡

I'm an emotional abuse survivor, and Ragatha's story in Digital Circus hits me like a train and genuinely, I have no idea how no one else is talking about it

I knew FROM THIS MOMENT exactly why Ragatha is the way she is. The way she pulls herself short because you DO NOT TALK about what you go through, you do not tell anyone what your parent does to you or says to you. No one gets it. It's embarrassing. It's too much.

But her torture scene in the new episode just cemented it for me.

It's always at the dinner table. You can't get away at dinner. You have to sit with your abuser, who has probably already hit their limit for the day and is looking for someone to unleash their stress at. And you have to take it, because it gets SO much worse if you get up from the table before you're finished.

All the mannequins make me wonder if Ragatha has a big family. That's an awful lot of people who have already been beaten down and aren't speaking up to defend her.

Ragatha is a rag doll because Caine can see in her mind files that she's been used that way all her life. Thats how she sees herself. She's a soft thing to be thrown about. She can stand up to rough treatment. You can fling as many knives at her as you like and it doesn't matter, because she's made of stuffing, it doesn't hurt. You can just patch her up and keep going.

But if course it hurts. Look at her.

(and obviously her mother didn't *actually stab her in the eye*, come on guys.)

But I have to go back to how Ragatha's mother is shown here, because it speaks volumes to Ragatha's entire character. It's so screamingly obvious to me, probably because I mould my own life exactly how Ragatha does, for better or for worse.

The mother looks like Ragatha. She has the same hair, the same body type.

And the whole time she's abusing Ragatha, she's *smiling.* She's enjoying it. She's exactly the type of vile bully that comes up with her most hurtful thing to say, and smiles in your face while she says it, because it makes her feel good.

THAT is why Ragatha is so accommodating. THAT'S why she doesn't tell Jax to fuck off until she's given "permission" by Pomni at the softball game (who immediately gets freaked out by her big feelings and tells her she's being irrational).

THAT is why she tries to keep the peace and not upset people. THAT is why, almost to the very last, she tries to placate Caine.

Because she thinks that if she hurts someone's feelings, *SHE IS EXACTLY LIKE HER MOTHER.* And in Ragatha's mind, there is nothing worse in the whole world than finding out you're just like your abuser. Cosmically, you might even think that's why they hurt you in the first place. Because you're bad. You deserve it.

So you make nice. You stay quiet. You give compliments. You make sure everyone is happy.

You pick yourself up and keep going, despite constantly being knocked down, dismissed, laughed at. You try your best not to set them off, not set *anyone* off, because if they freak out, you end up being the villain. And there's always that tiny part of your brain that is terrified, deep down, that you are going to hurt people in the same way you were hurt.

Okay apparently this whole fucking time I was incorrect about how James' semblance works and frankly- fuck you I'm actually ignoring it being some passive constantly running bullshit. I don't do this often if ever but FUCK THAT.

Mettle CAN and COULD be INTERESTING - in fact I find it fascinating because HOW. THE. FUCK. DID HE DEVELOP THAT AS A SEMBLANCE - WHAT HAPPENED - AND HOW IT TIES INTO THE TRAGEDY OF HIS CHARACTER - but, it's merit, it's potential lies in it being a conscious choice, in it being a decision to double down on what he's doing and something he has to ACTIVELY decide to do. These actions are nothing but his own and that is important to the autonomy of his character, to the impact of everything he does. Fucking, with the idea of it being a CHOICE, I raise you, him relying on it more and more, doubling down, not turning back, becoming the epitome of Sunk Cost Fallacy by Vol.8 because he's running on fear and panic and if he DOESN'T use it - if he doesn't have it active he is going to break and crumble, he'll buckle under everything set before him, so there's no other option than effectively overusing it to the point of absolute tunnel vision. He can keep going with it, he has the aura to do so, and he just keeps fucking going because if he stops he doesn't know what will fucking happen. So this is the only way.

Cause like I've interpreted Mettle as being an active decision, it's something that can be activated and deactivated, it's not always there, it simply helps and allows him to make the difficult choices - whatever those may be to him - but he still has to choose. But idk the idea of committing to things in such an extreme way adds more weight to everything, all of his choices. Also yeah it's probably near impossible to tell when he's using it, it definitely could come off as just a part of his personality.

Idk it being passive and ALWAYS there feels like SUCH a copout and frankly to me takes away so much from him - he is a character who we know barely anything about, we don't know why he does things the way he does things, we don't know what's going on in his head, he is a blank slate technically that could be interpreted in SO many ways, ways that could easily add more meat to him being a "dead at the beginning" type of guy - hell his death was something written at THE START of RWBY, he's LITERALLY a walking tragedy - but no fucking, in canon he's like this because of something he cannot help, we're just gonna take away any interesting bits about him and his potential past that could have shaped him and instead basically go 'hes like this because of his semblance, which is always there and that's why he's the way he is'.

Anyways fucking, add it to the pile of "take my posts n yappings with a grain of salt cause I am running on my on interpretations since canon gives us NOTHING" fucking something something the canon way Mettle works is a dumbass decision and I'm electing to IGNORE IT.

My lovely guild @thefiercesquad hosted a small Valentine's Day get-together last month, and I was inspired by one of the photos we took, with all six of us posed on one side of a long table like The Last Supper :P

From left to right, the characters belong to: me, @victoria-moonhunter-thaumaturge, @merlinmaycry, @amselthebird (who was also our party host and an exceptional castle decorator!), @runicwizards, and @nightside101.
