Fic premise guessing game: A time traveler fleeing from disaster has to breastfeed a baby version of someone they care about for some reason while also romancing someone they knew as a villain in their time while helping them deradicalize. Time traveller has some maladaptive trauma coping mechanisms and is aware of this but is having trouble figuring out how to stop using them.

You are cheating but also like. Yeah. This is all the tropes.

You know what’d be the worst Space Grindr Phenomenon? If Obi-Wan and Dooku were using it at the same time. They’d both be *mortified*

Anakin pulls out Obi-Wan’s phone while Dooku is monologuing, but since Obi-Wan doesn’t have any games downloaded he decides to go through his personal affairs. He screenshots Dooku’s grindr profile when it pops up and sends it to the entire GAR. ‘Dooku fucks’ becomes a meme. Obi-Wan is supremely horrified by the whole thing

RWBY’s not all that into killing off it’s major characters. We’ve only had one major permadeath so far. Sure we might eventually get more, I’m not discounting that, but it doesn’t feel as inevitable as some people seem to think.

A lot of people have begun to equate major character death with higher stakes in recent years, and I fully blame it on people's misunderstanding of a lot of famous stories with a lot of death, and oversaturation of edgy "everyone dies" stories in the first place.

It's also because people use a very broad scope to view their media, without actually taking the time to think about what kind of story they're watching, how it personally handles tropes and themes, and what the theme of it's story is in general. They'll look at Game of Thrones and see people dying, thus raising the stakes, and assume that any other type of media they consume that also has death does it for the same reasons and in the same way.

So you get times when people see Qrow's cell getting blasted open in the most obviously set up jailbreak moment the whole FNDM has been waiting for, and ask whether CRWBY just killed off Qrow because "big explosion + character I think will die = that's a death scene"

The reason I am so confident about none of the main cast dying is because it wouldn't make sense. And despite what a section of people would have you believe, RWBY cares very much about it's character arcs making sense.

Oh hey, did you notice how Ren leveled up and became an empath *immediately* before heading out to where *Emerald* is? And this episode also made a point of re-emphasizing her inner conflict...

I don’t even think she needs to get read for filth by Ren coming out of his well to shame mankind at this point. She’s...already putting this into action. Her use of the lamp to confirm what Ozma and Oscar said is going to happen imminently.

I enjoy the whole Roy confrontation scene because in my opinion it drew some really clear lines. It said killing just for the sake of killing and/or causing pain was wrong, *but* it didn’t say that “if you kill them you’ll be just like them” or anything like that. Riza was even willing to kill envy herself. Bc Envy is a big threat that can’t reasonably be contained. The main thing in question wasn’t the act of killing. It was Roy’s motives and the cruelty in how Roy was doing it.

Oh, definitely. It’s far too late to pretend like Roy is “above” killing anything. It’s a matter of doing it to survive or to doing it to be cruel.

The people who argue that Ironwood’s downward spiral is OOC are one thing, but it’s so *incredibly* wild to see some people argue about whether or not shooting Sleet was bad. Not like, is it OOC. Is it morally bad. Seeing people argue that it’s good bc it’s “One less politician” and all that is like. Ok. Assume Sleet *is* a rich privileged ineffectual asshole and the world doesn’t need him. Fine I can roll with that. Him being executed by the the leader of his country’s military for mouthing off is still horrifying. Because that means Atlas is a place where the military can execute any dissenters for any reason. It seems like that’s self-evidently a bad thing? But that’s just me.

The problem here is that we’re currently in a delicate political climate, IRL, and people are being drawn to authoritarianism the world over. 

Unfortunately, some of those people watch RWBY, and are seeing what they think is a “good leader” being rightfully portrayed as dangerous and evil. 

That’s just something we have to deal with right now.

I ate some cauliflower and I thought of you. The association has been made in my brain and it'll probably take a while to fade. (ftr my stance on it is it has a noticable flavour, but an incredibly mild one. Much less than the one that other vegetables def have. It also has a lovely texture)

cannot believe i’m the cauliflower lady now
