I'm Kiri, Fanfic writer and Mabinogi player! Don't expect much more than that from here. I like RWBY a lot, hence the name.

[bastard-lizard-man]

for all ur money needs

[bastard-lizard-man]

this post became retro, unable to reproduce, and therefore valuable. reblog to save a veteran mabi player’s life

[deadrosefic]

This feeling...

[bastard-lizard-man]

inside of my tiny heart, is hatred 

[deadrosefic]

Good Good, use your anger, use your hate. It makes you strong.

Borrowed public gif, will edit with smug mahi char later.

maria is genuinely just. the fucking funniest character in rwby. i crack up every other sentence she speaks. she fucking hates kids, she hates the rich, she hates the military, she hates qrow, and she has to speak to ALL of them and she’s telling everyone how much she thinks it sucks. she also gets into a blood feud with a military general over cashews. truly the most iconic character in the show. 

[deadrosefic]

We often forget that in the World of Remnant, rwbyverse, despite humanity's advances in technology, harnessing dust, and carving out homes in the most inhospitable places Remnant has to offer- becoming old is a privilege few experience.

Fewer still in the case of hunters. Prime examples would be, everyone's dead parents, Pyrrah, Vernal, un-named hunter from volume 4.

If you're a hunter you court death every day you're still breathing.

Maria was a hunter, and probably kept hunting in secret even after she lost her eyes, and despite that she has lived, and in all likelihood lived longer than many of her contemporaries.

So it's totally natural that she hates kids, These ones in particular because they remind her of her younger self, naivè, hopeful, and filled with a sense of invincibility that comes with youth.

Ofc she resents the rich. Unlike hunters who risk their bodies to slay grim, they languish in their capitals, and she's probably worked enough protecting the cargo of the rich to know how little stock they put in human lives compared to merchandise. Unlike those that die doing this sort of work, she can actually be bitter and complain about it because she's alive.

Her fued with Cordovin cements her character as the grizzled veteran. The only person who's lived long enough for her to actually piss off is an armchair general with a Napoleon complex enjoying a cushy stationing in one of the most peaceful and well guarded outposts staffed by that Atlas Millitary.

Who isn't dead, and totally drunk on her power and authority she slapped a travel ban on cashews.

Tldr: People in Reamnnt rarely live long enough to get old. Maria's so fucking old, and has seen too much to take shit from anybody.

[kienava-deactivated20200827]

salem put on a whole-ass new outfit just to go raid atlas. like did she need a bigger tiddy window? absolutely not. no one outside her cohort has seen her in this outfit in a thousand years and atlas is cold as balls. but she woke up and said “hm i think i will ruin atlas while reinventing the fundamental concept of fashion” and i can only respect that energy

[deadrosefic]

I read that in her World of Remnant voice and it was both arousing and funny.

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”

[thatlittleegyptologist]

The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit

[rudjedet]

‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”

While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago 

The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved

[rudjedet]

The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum

Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose

Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards

Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”

The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)

[rudjedet]

While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition

It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that

Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass

[rudjedet]

I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On

Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies

[rudjedet]

Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.

Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:

Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids

Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt

Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks

@thatlittleegyptologist

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I can confirm it’s correct because @rudjedet is also an Egyptologist so knows what she’s talking about. I’ve confirmed this before and I will again.

[farsight-the-char]

The best thing RWBY could do for Maria is have her live beyond the end of the series.

No amount of Death Flags matter for her, she will live out of pure spite.

[rihwooby]

They’ll have a bit at the end of the series where it’s like 30 years in the future and Maria will still inexplicably be alive

[deadrosefic]

Bold of you to assume the Grim Reaper is capable of death.

Megas vs Mystery Machine

[midnight-revolucion]

When Cartoon Network was The Cartoon Network

[dmvkidcudi]

Used to be so lit

[deadrosefic]

Ugh hate this and love it at the same time. Reminds me of cool shows I used to watch but also reminds me that I probably can't find anywhere to watch old Thunder Cats, JB, Grim Adventures, etc

Captain planet probably can't be found anywhere, and with Australia on fire, Increasingly colder winter's on the horizon, and trash heaps the size of countries in the Pacific, we could really use a reboot of him to raise awareness of climate change right around now.

Megas XLR was ahead of it's time. Giant robots weren't really popular in the states outside of anime fans and the western audience was more exposed to transformers. It was a giant Mecha/spaceoddessey parody before parodies of anime were popular.

No one remembers when Zoids used to be aired on the Toonami time slot so I can never find anyone to geek out with about that. Sorry but I guess Giant Robot Animals with personalities didn't appeal to people.

Whenever I see a Chaika I can't help but think of Satsuki.

Who then proceeds to remind me of Naru and Mursumi

Curse you Ken Akamatsu... You gave me a thing for girls with thick, chiseled eyebrows.

When you don’t have enough shield. CREATE MORE

You must construct additional pylons.

[tumblezwei]

I love how she literally just thought RWBYJNR was a group of young Huntsmen that might have needed some help beating the manticore grimm and ended up learning that the Gods exist, they killed humanity, they’re making two immortal beings fight over the fate of New Remnant, and the only ones that know enough to help are a group of children and their drunken emo uncle. And now she’s stuck with them.

[deadrosefic]

Seeing as most of us have been with the series for 5 years now I think she more than qualifies as our Audience surrogate.

Don't be such a baby. Hair polygons grow back

To a pidgeon in the operating room: No they don't.

[laughingdrag-deactivated2019120]

People legitimately mad that Indivisible has Zone-Tan cameo in the game (because Zone-Sama is a longtime colleague of Lab Zero) will be in for a fucking shock when they actually realise how many porn artists/porn staff have worked on their favourite games and anime.

All I’m saying is don’t look up the stuff that the Dragon Maid mangaka has drawn in his spare time, or the stuff that Mega Man Zero’s artist has drawn.

[deadrosefic]

People will get legitimately mad at you for breathing these days. It's super unfair to Zone-sama who went out and promoted Indivisible on practically every social media platform they were on and the Archive, but what can you do.

I hope her cameo stays, and if anything, if people start ranting about it hard enough it'll wind up as free advertising for both artists.

H-artists are still artists. DaVinci painted nudes too.

As I recall Disney has a vault filled with all the porn the animators drew for snow white, Cinderella, the little mermaid etc.

[hanasaku-shijin]

It feels like RT is just playing with our emotions at this point?? Like they tease things and then just pull the rug out and laugh at us like? Jgjshshdjajbd

It been like that for like 5 years tbh

[deadrosefic]

Business as usual

[lieutriver]

The gang’s all here (minus one)

[deadrosefic]

Could be an animation error or Winter is the illegitimate elder child of the Schnee Family.

[hanasaku-shijin]

idk if I want Weiss to see Winter for the first time in like 7 months and run to go hug her and have it be a warm happy joyful reunion and have Winter’s stern military public warning announcements all have been just a show to save face and make her superiors happy but in reality she is the same old loving sister Weiss always relied on

or

Weiss goes to go hug Winter but then Winter just glares at her, all militant and stern just like their father, scolding Weiss for breaking the law and turning cold and disapproving to her.

[deadrosefic]

Well... she did technically steal an airship... More than one actually, now that I think about it.

[bastard-lizard-man]

its over

*kaworu, seeing all the Diffrent timelines flash in his head*

Kaworu,sobbing:“ WHY WOULD HE BE A COWBOY!?!”

[deadrosefic]

It"A-alrighty there Mr A-angel, you're new r-round these parts, a-and the-they might'nt not have told you, b-but I'm Sheriff in th-these h-here parts."

"Shinji you are a Japanese.", Kaworu said. "Start making sense or the redhead gets it"

He pressed the business end of his peacemaker into the German girl's neck. She stopped struggling as she felt the cold barrel press up against her jugular. Her muffled cries muted against the gag in her mouth.

The Sheriff's body loosened up immediately. His hands went still as death. He eased up on reaching for his iron and eyed the newcomer with a steely look. The new comer took his eyes off Asuka to meet Shinji's gaze. That was his first mistake.

With some righteous foreign fury she planted her boot spur into his foot. He his grip loosetened on the deputy and she repaid his courtesy in kind with a headbutt to his jaw, loosing her hat in the process. He reeled backwards, but recovered quickly.

She jumped behind a horse trough in front of the saloon, arms still bound behind her back.

Nagisa ignored her and raised his weapon aiming square between Shinji's eyes.

The saloon doors opened with a flash of blue, BOOM.

Nagisa was sent flying three feet into a parked manure cart as two shells worth of birdshot smashed against his AT field.

In the doorway stood Ayanami in her white sundress slamming two new shells into her pipes. Slugs this time.

Shinji rushed to Asuka, undoing her binds. She spat out her gag and smacked him over the shoulder with it. "Bout time, idiot."

"Why why why why WHY does it always have to be you?", He emerged from the remains of the cart not much worse for ware than he went in.

"Nagisa. This town does not possess sufficient resources to accommodate our combined presence."

Rei snapped the brake back in and pulled both hammers back.

"Leave."
