For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:

This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief.

RE8 Lord DLC concept

GONNA EXPAND ON THIS BECAUSE I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!

So basically this is just an idea of how i'd make a DLC about the RE8 lords cuz lets be honest THEY DESERVED ONE. So in my concept, instead of playing as the lords you'd play as one of the people in their lives (whether significant or insignificant) and experience the lords in a different perspective. Some are actual characters in the RE8 lore based off of the files, and some are just ocs i made

[tia-greyblueviolet]

I have watched House of the Dragon recently. And well my brain did its thing and popped out two ocs, one for the blacks one for the greens.

Greens: Lady Alyne Hailstone. She is the youngest daughter of a North adjacent province that holds a lot of power for their mines and the minerals they export, as well as their protective role at the border. She has been betrothed to Aegon II when she was 11, (she is the same age as Haelena) and she has been living in the Red Keep since that day, under the tutelage of Alicent. She is quite shy and meek, very caring and seeking other’s love through giving love. She doesn’t agree with the Greens at the start of the Dance, at this point she very much agrees with Aegon that having the throne is not a good position and she wishes to protect their children. However, she is very loyal to Aegon and remains by his side no matter what.

Blacks: Princess Aelys Targaryen. She is the cousin of Rhaenyra (I have to figure out her family tree lmao, I believe she shares a great grandfather with her? Honestly Targaryen family tree is a mess anyways). She was the only daughter of her parents. She is a Dragon Dreamerand when she was eight, she foresaw a terrible attack on her family while traveling to King’s Landing. However, her parents were not big believers and her messages were cryptic too, and her dream became true. Everyone in her convoy was killed but her and her dragon who had just recently hatched. She gained her scar on her face and her dragon (to be named) was permanently injured and cannot fly very well. She was saved by Daemon on dragon back, sent by the King when the family did not arrive. She was raised alongside Rhaenyra as a ward of Viserys and Aemma. For years she did not speak and tried to ignore her dreams. But with help from her family she came out of her shell. She shares a great bond with Daemon in a different was as her cousin. They end up marrying shortly after Rhaenyra’s wedding. During the Dance, she is plagued with dreams and participates the best she can with her dragon, who has an incredibly hot flame.

Anyways, brain rot moment, I am fixated on them now.

(I know I have fanfics to write *Looks at Choices and sweats*. School is tackling me physically, emotionally, intellectually, I am starting to turn to God at this point.I will return to it soon.)

Everything GREAT about RWBY Volume 7 that Volume 8 Completely Ruined (A Retrospect / Salty Opinion) 

You can disagree with me if you like, but everything below is 100% canon :)

~~~

V7: Maiden Powers recognize Penny as a “real girl” even though she’s a robot and has the aura of a man (her father) - an incredible subversion of the Pinocchio trope that validates Penny and sets up her journey as a Maiden

V8: Penny is turned human against her will and DIES (again), the powers transfer to someone else - copy/paste of Pinocchio

V7: Salem is moments away and fast approaching, so the heroes have literal SECONDS to come up with a plan before she invades Atlas. Salem arrives at the end of the season, ready to strike

V8: Salem WAITS in her whale and doesn’t attack right away, completely retconning the urgency and stakes at the end of Volume 7

V7: Ruby, Blake(?), and Nora want to help Mantle the whole Volume. Team RWBY is angry Ironwood is leaving Mantle behind and want to do something about it - have no plan but are willing to try anyway (very noble but naive)

V8: Ruby abandons Mantle in episode 1 and steals Ironwood’s idea for Amity, Blake and Nora go with her. Yang helps out in Mantle for one episode before abandoning it (everyone abandons Mantle, Salem doesn’t even attack Mantle)

V7: The Staff can only be used for one purpose at a time and if someone else uses it, the previous creation will disappear, foreshadowing that Atlas will inevitably fall and Salem will get the Relic. Ironwood establishes the Staff is keeping Amity up and that the Gravity Dust is a cover-up story for the public

V8: Gravity Dust is apparently holding up Atlas anyway so they have time to use the Staff and evacuate people before it crashes. Team RWBY PURPOSEFULLY destroy a whole continent and takes the Relic out of the Vault for no reason (they do Salem's job for her)

V7: Ironwood wants to save all of Atlas’s citizens, Mantle citizens already evacuated, TWO RELICS = saving Remnant (keeping them away from Salem), and a Maiden. Wants to save who he can in the VERY short time he can, knows that in war there are consequences and you cannot save everyone. They cannot beat Salem so why risk his entire city/two Relics in a battle he knows he cannot win? (Salem is immortal). A HERO/war veteran who recognizes the cost of war

V8: Ironwood kills his own citizens for no reason, threatens to bomb his own city for no reason AFTER Salem is already defeated, and only cares about the “plot of land” that Atlas is on, the upper class, and technology. Turned into a one-dimensional antagonist because he disagrees with the protagonists 

V7: Ironwood sacrifices his own arm to successfully stop a bad guy in the greatest act of heroism the show has ever seen (“Hero” plays in the background)

V8: Ironwood "losing limbs represents him losing his humanity" and how he “has sacrificed everyone else”. Now has a Semblance that he cannot control that can potentially control his mind against his will (never brought up and can be attributed to mental health)

V7: Ruby VS Ironwood - different ideologies on how to save people, but neither of them are wrong. Will they come together and stop their common enemy (Salem), or give-in to fear and become divided? No right or wrong answer - complicated, morally grey, trolley-problem

V8: Ruby denounces Ironwood to the world as she preaches about being united, Ironwood is the big-bad of the season and dies a villain while Salem is right there (common enemy). Team RWBY’s way of thinking was right all along even though they only came up with a plan after Salem was defeated and ended up evacuating anyway, the same thing Ironwood wanted to do from the beginning. Do not acknowledge the parallels between them and how team RWBY did more harm than good - Ren tries to bring this up but is later forced to apologize and treated as wrong even though he was spitting straight facts

V7: Ruby lies to Ironwood and gets called out for it, arrested and loses Ironwood’s trust (immediate consequences of her actions). Ruby did the same thing Ozpin did (lie with good intentions), which they got mad at him for but now she is put in his shoes - start of some great character development for Ruby!

V8: Ruby’s lie is never brought up again and there are no long-term consequences for her actions. She gets away scott-free and never admits to her mistakes. Ruby never realizes that she did the same thing Ozpin did and shows no empathy toward him, makes OZPIN apologize to them while Emerald (a bad guy) sits on the steps and watches that happen

V7: Ruby is put in the same position as Ironwood - who can you save in the short amount of time you have ? Has to learn what it truly means to be a leader in a time of war

V8: Ruby sits and drinks tea for half the Volume wondering what to do and then destroys an entire continent on purpose and loses two Relics in the span of two days - does not acknowledge that Ironowod had a point

V7: Salem cannot be beaten, how will they fight her and her Whale?

V8: Oscar blows her and the Whale up half-way through the Volume after Salem does absolutely nothing the whole season. Ozpin now has a magical bomb in his staff he could have used any time

V7: There is NO WAY to save everyone

V8: The Staff has the power to do literally anything so let's create portals to get everyone out

V7: Vacuo is the next target

V8: Team RWBY dump the entire population of Atlas and Mantle into Vacuo, causing a refugee crisis with the knowledge that Salem is heading there next (Emerald knows this and is on their side now, she would have told them)

V7: Ironwood instantly trusts team RWBY with his entire plan, gives them back the Relic, gives them their huntsman licenses. Meanwhile the girls do not trust their allies (good-guys) and lie to them and go behind their backs and betray their trust - a good message on trust the girls will eventually have to learn

V8: Trust Emerald and tell her everything about their plan, trust Hazel with the password to the Lamp. “Trust is a risk” now after they didn’t trust a GOOD GUY for an entire Volume (hypocrites)

V7: Qrow is indirectly responsible for Clover’s death but takes it out on Ironwood in his anger, wants to fight Ironwood and probably kill him in rage. Probably lets himself be arrested so he can get closer to Ironwood

V8: Qrow gets over his grudge and never confronts Ironwood (we all wanted this to happen right?) after sitting out in prison the whole Volume. Doesn't seem to care that his nieces are out there facing Salem as he's in jail

V7: One question left in the Lamp, but they cannot summon Jynn unless they actually have a question this time (via. Volume 6)

V8: Oscar shows Jynn to Hazel and Emerald, and she lets them go without asking a question

V7: Weiss’ mother tells her not to forget about her brother

V8: Weiss sticks a sword in her brother’s face and only thanks him after he proves himself useful 

V7: Fall of Beacon 2.0 promised

V8: Battle of Atlas lasts one episode while the girls drink tea and watch it happen, none of the main characters (or villains for that matter) take part in the battle (it is pushed to the background)

V7: Salem vs Ozpin epic fight/reunion approaching

V8: Salem and Ozpin say two sentences to each other and do not discuss their pasts and/or fight (Oscar is the one who fights Salem)

V7: Amity is NOT finished so they cannot get a message out

V8: Amity IS finished it just needs more dust to launch

V7: Oscar is separated from the group at the end of V7, will the heroes get to him before Salem does??

V8: The heroes instantly find Oscar in the first few minutes of Volume 8, but then Salem gets him anyway (what was the point)

V7: Every single bad-guy ALIVE in the show is present at the end of the Volume

V8: Mercury and Tyrian leave half-way through the Volume after doing nothing, Ironwood is now the main villain even though Salem is right there. Ruby never comes face-to-face with Salem.

~~~

Volume 7 was (still is?) my favorite Volume. It wasn't perfect, it had flaws, but for what it's worth it gave us an INCREDIBLE set-up for what should have been the best Volume ever (Volume 8). I was beyond excited when Volume 8 came out - we were going to see legendary fights! Ruby was going to get some much-needed character development. But instead, the show completely fumbled the ball HARD, ignored everything amazing it had established the previous Volume, and completely buffered every theme, fight, character, and story-line it had going for it. :( As a fan, and as a Screenwriting Major, this is just disappointing. I'm more sad than I am angry, and this leads me to believe that everything I loved about Volume 7 was created by accident.

It’s not that I mind minors in fandom. Really, I don’t.

It’s just when they ignore the multiple warnings that I put on things or lie about their age to see things they shouldn’t that pisses me off. Especially when they throw a screaming hissy fit about the dove really being dead or start telling anyone over the age of 18 that they need to get out of fandom.

Darling, we built this place. And if you don’t have the reading comprehension to understand that trigger warnings are there for a reason, maybe you need to get off the internet and go do your homework.

[catgirl-catboy]

Can I further add that I dislike this new wave of fandom culture that younger teens brought with them when they joined fandom?

I dislike “n0nc0n” and “unalive.” I dislike that cyberstalking has become the expectation to participate in fandom. I dislike the casual disregard for privacy. I dislike how sensitive everyone is to content they dislike and makes them uncomfortable. I dislike that nobody takes the time to lurk anymore.

When I say I dislike the teens in fandom, I’m referring to these cultures and attitudes. My teen mutuals are cool, else I’d have blocked them already.

My dad knew that I was lonely and having a hard time after my sister & her husband ditched out on Christmas one year without even talking to me. He knew I wanted to learn guitar and I was having a terrible time with my job and career - everything was hell, basically - and he gave me a guitar. Not just any guitar - his guitar that he’d taught himself to play on when he was a teenager. To this day I’ll never know if it was planned or not, but it sits in my room and reminds me of him.

I had to stop playing guitar for several years due to a variety of reasons, so I’m starting from scratch and having to rebuild callouses and reteach myself literally everything I learned already, but being able to have it out again reminds me of the way he loved me.

My grandpa wasn’t very religious, but he started going to church every week because my grandma was a practicing christian. She died when my dad was in college, and Grandpa never purposely missed a day of church until he was forced to go to a nursing home.

My dad was a professional bass trombonist before he got sick, became disabled, and had to stop playing and teaching. Two of my siblings are in school for music, one for teaching tuba and one for performance on percussion. I’m disabled too, but im playing bass trombone again and I’m going to be playing in the community band that, while it now has a different conductor, was started by my dad.

My mom owns horses because she’s always loved to ride, but she doesn’t ever have the time because she’s a high school teacher and she takes care of my nana who just finished chemo. My dad recently started learning how to ride so that when she finally gets to retire in a few years, they can go on trail rides.
