You can cure people by removing their illness and turning it into slime, which must be kept sealed in jars. The slime still carries the sickness, and if anyone else touches it, they can catch the illness themselves.

Don’t mind me as I casually try to find any way to get this slime anywhere near some very specific individuals, including a particularly annoying carrot man

Went on FiM:Fiction to read some RariTwi (Monochromatic’s Enchanted Library series converted me a while back) and somehow 2 hours later I’m reading my 57th SciSet fic of the night.

I genuinely don’t know how I got started reading SciSet stuff. Guess I can’t escape the total SciSet shipper filfth that I am.

Damn. This sums up my feelings towards so many things

[bardiclad]

RWBY is so frustratingly poorly executed. There were so many interesting things brought up but also so many things they just completed failed on.

Like the music? Fucking slaps. Volumes 1-3 have my favorite songs but the rest of series doesn’t dissappoint. The running motifs? The characterization? Frequent allusions to fairytales? Immaculate.

The actual show writing? Yang carried more about her new girlfriend than her little sister when her sister allegorically commited suicide right in front of Yang. The sister Yang is supposedly characterized as “overprotective of.” And this was from a volume with some of the better writing.

The fact the characters are loosly based on irl fairytales and the in universe fairytales are important to the plot? Great concept (when the writers remember about it).

The weapons? Ridiculous but so fun. Go ahead and have a trumpet that’s also a gun. That giant scythe? Yeah it can transform into a sniper rifle. Why not?

The Grimm? Not well explained (even in World of Remnant, the bonus mini series that exists solely to explain lore stuff). But what we do know? They’re attracted to negative emotions (which maybe helps Grimm spawn, unclear and contradictory in the source material), Grimm get smarter with age (kinda ignored beyond its introduction in V2), and just the sheer diversity of types.

The Apathy is probably my favorite type of Grimm because they slowly give the people around them depression until the affected people don’t bother to wake up. The insidious nature and hidden danger of the Apathy is fascinating. The Brunswick Farms arc in V6 is probably my favorite story moment from V4-V7.

All this to say, RWBY fascinates me yet infuriates me. There are moments of shocking brilliance and then the rest is all mundanity that makes me want so much more. I hate this show and yet I love it. I want so much better for it but I also just want it to end (like wtf was the point of the 2 dc crossover movies)

I wanted to read a fantasy book so I went to r/fantasy on reddit and also checked out my local bookstore: What the FUCK. These books SUCK. How do you fuckers read this shit? You IDIOTS. I have never seen such an uncreative "creative" genre in my life. You all looked at Tolkien and decided 'well that's good enough' - There has been almost no innovation in this space AT ALL for 50 years. Books are dying because publishers and authors alike are afraid of making something REALLY weird and twisted. You'd rather regurgitate the greats. I'm gonna pick up a pen and show you how it's done. You fuckers. Anyone have any good recommendations?

Who cares if it’s “allowed”? You’re already an evil wizard causing mayhem so you might as well do gender mayhem too

Wow so many birds, so I must ask your thoughts on the Shoebill! :D

I wish we could tame them like air horses

[vibrantpuppeteer]

Air horses? Mr. P. M. Seymour, do you mayhaps mean pegasi? Or do you mean simply a flying, living alternative to horses in general? Because either way, you have our (singular) attention, sir, as you have accidentally summoned someone who thinks about horses and especially pegasi quite a lot, that being us, of course.

[itsapmseymour]

I don’t want a horse with wings

I want a bird that is the size of the horse that I can ride like a horse.

Was that not clear?

[bardiclad]

Ah like Loftwings
