yesterday (july 6, 2020), I.C.E. legislation was passed regarding international students in the united states. 

main points include: 

nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 visa holding students attending institutions that are completely online must leave the US or transfer to a school with in-person instruction.

visas will not be issued to students attending online-only schools. 

nonimmigrant F-1 students attending “hybrid” schools must stay at that institution unless it goes completely online - in which they must follow the regulations above. 

legislation essentially states: 

deportation will proceed if individuals continue to stay 

students enrolled in in-person instruction colleges are only eligible to enroll in one online class

if an institution’s instruction method changes for any reason, the affected students have 10 days to leave the country or transfer to a school offering in person classes 

bottom line: many international students, amidst coronavirus regulations, are about to get displaced. students will have to risk their health and safety in order to either continue attending their institution or to go home. 

how to help: 

abolish ICE carrd

petition

further breakdown of the issue (via twt)

educate! please spread the word and stay informed. 

this post will be updated as soon as i can get my hands on more ways to help.

regarding other events in the world: this and this is comprehensive in finding out more information. please stay informed and up to date! stay safe and aware of your surroundings.

with v5 currently airing , i wanted to make this post to remind my followers  (new & old)  about what makes my portrayal of cinder canon divergent. the full story can be found here  (it’s linked on her main verse tab in the ‘verses’ popup).

she is a phoenix faunus. she has burgundy wings & is able to shift into bird form  (about the size of a hawk). she did not know she was a phoenix faunus until halfway through v4 but found out when stumbling across a file with information about phoenixes. unless your muse has knowledge of phoenixes or is told by cinder what she is , they won’t know she is one until she admits it to them. i will make a post about phoenix physiology soon that will go into more detail about this.

cinder still has both of her eyes , but does have scars on her face from ruby’s silver eyes’ blast at the end of v3. the night beacon fell , she was able to escape though not without getting hurt in the process. the scars cover quite a bit of the right side of her face , including most of her cheek , below & beside her eye , down her neck , & partially extending across the bridge of her nose & under her left eye. she doesn’t always cover up her scars unless she’s wearing a hood to hide her face from anyone who might recognize her, but has since started covering them up with makeup.

in cinder’s main verse , she left to join qrow  &  ruby early on in v4.  (after finding out the truth regarding her parents , tribe , & lineage.)  at this point in time , she’s staying with them in mistral & the rest of -jnr & -w-y. not everyone is happy that she’s there after what she did at beacon , but she usually stays inside the house and hidden away so her former master doesn’t know where she is. she’s under supervision most of the time. she does tell qrow & ozpin/oscar what she knows when they ask , though she doesn’t tell them  (or at least not ozpin)  everything right away. only the most important & time sensitive information just so she’s able to fight back with them against salem. the details about her own past , however , she does share to further explain why she left.

main verse cont.  upon finding out that they had talked to leonardo , cinder realized it was only a matter of time until her former colleagues would make their way to the branwen tribe’s main camp & left one night in an attempt to beat them there & warn raven about who would be coming for them. when raven chose to stay , cinder stayed behind to keep an eye on her best friend/sister-in-law while remaining in the shadows for as long as possible. cinder knows that the moment she does reveal herself , that’s when her former leader will learn of her betrayal.

for all other verses: cinder continues to work for salem until the night of the attack on haven (end of v5). she leaves the fortress  (for the last time)  at the beginning of v5 with emerald & mercury to acquire the spring maiden to get them the relic of knowledge in haven’s vault. before leaving , she found out that salem was the one who had her parents & her tribe killed in order to push cinder towards joining her group.  (she learned this in the beginning of v4 but forced herself to keep the appearance of being loyal to her master.)  cinder hates salem with every fiber of her being for taking away everyone she ever cared about & wants to fight against her , though she would rather kill salem herself if the chance arises. she gives mercury & emerald the choice to leave or stay with her the night they plan on going to haven , but cinder will fight back & foil salem’s plans that night, revealing her betrayal to her former master & associates then.

details in other verses are subject to change depending on plotting with partners , etc. , but this is all the important information you need to know !

from now on , please refer to me ( the mun ) as cinder or cin for short. i’ll make the change official when i have internet but thank you to all who read this. ❤️

SHIPPING INFO!  

answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.  repost, don’t reblog.

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?:

c.inder & q.row. how it happened, i still have no fucking clue but i will go down with this ship.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:

anything tbh! there’s usually a lot of angst cause cinder’s trying to be a better person but i still try to throw some fluff in when i get the chance. i may put her through hell but i do want her to be happy.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

i’ll only romantically ship cinder with muses that are 18+ but aside from that, i haven’t really found any ships i’m uncomfortable with age gap wise.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:

yes. i am open to ships cause i love ships but i won’t ship cinder with everyone. i ship based on chemistry. if cinder & your muse click & you’re interested in shipping our muses, just poke at me!

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NS.FW?:

i haven’t written any n.sfw in 5ever but as soon as the clothes start coming off, i start tagging them as n.sfw but i always put them under a read more. WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?: oh god, too many. let’s just say i love all my trash & rare pairs.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

yes please! or at least like my pre-established relationships call if we’re mutuals & tell me when i message you about stuff.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

a lot. i’m ship trash, okay. i’ve accepted my fate.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

oh boy, i’m obsessed tbh. i’m the queen of trash ships. for real tho if we ship our muses, expect me to tag you in random things that make me think of our muses together or for me randomly yelling at you cause i love our ship.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

mmhmm!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

aside from my trash otp?  god, i can’t narrow it down cause there are quite a few in the fandom i really like but the ones coming to mind first are q.row & s.ummer, t.ai & r.aven, along with c.inder & m.ercury.

WHAT IS YOUR NOTP?

c.inder & r.uby. i personally can’t get behind it.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

with love & the mutual interest of shipping our muses together. prepare yourselves.

TAGGED BY:   stole it from @irezcmi whoops TAGGING:   anyone who likes tea.
