10 and 17 for the salty ask meme (also do 17 for star wars pplease!)

10. Most disliked arc? Why? 

jaune :|

but also i mean in seriousness... i don’t know that i would call it a specific arc but i’ve been generally frustrated around how rwby’s handled the faunus of it all throughout the show.  mostly the fact that most of what we’ve seen or heard about the discrimination of the faunus has been from, y’know, characters like adam, who went for violent retribution, or bits like back at beacon where you just saw cardin bullying velvet.  it’s created a nice neat binary of “good humans are nice to the faunus” and “bad humans are cruel to the faunus” and leaves no room for the vast array of human nature in between it-- specifically that a lot of good people can be and are still racist or prejudiced.  it’s also infuriating that there’s been so little of it in the atlas arc so far, given that atlas has been so heavily implied to be the worst offender of racism against the faunus; there was the bit early in v7 with the drunk guy in mantle, and the crotchety racist grandma in v8, but aside from that it’s just been throwaway bits.  add in the fact that both of those bits have been more about weiss and yang, respectively, than blake, the actual faunus on the team, and...yeah.  the whole faunus situation in the storytelling hits very much like a series of whiffs for me.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

for rwby hmmmmm.  v4′s adventures of team rnjr frustrated me because in a lot of ways it supplanted ruby as a main character with jaune, and in a lot of ways put ruby’s trauma related to pyrrha’s death in the backseat to jaune’s lost not-girlfriend, and also because in general it seemed to prioritize jaune and ren over ruby and nora.  both ruby and jaune’s survivor’s guilt and trauma surrounding pyrrha are equally valid stories, but it seemed like it focused more on jaune than ruby, which frustrated me.  similarly, v4 was where we got the groundwork for ren being a shithead in v7-8, and in a lot of ways treated nora as a prop for his storyline than her own character. 

also like-- and i acknowledge that this is probably generally colored by opinion of how ruby and jaune were handled in the volume-- v4 had a lot more dudes ~saving~ girls in it than i ever like.  qrow showing up to save ruby from tyrian-- because honestly, that really did read more like a ruby fight than a team fight-- and flashback!ren saving nora with his semblance and sun helping/saving blake from locking herself away and tai helping/saving yang with her trauma.  individually each of those stories worked well, but all of them happening in the same volume was like. no thank u.

for star wars: there’s a really great post somewhere that i’m too lazy to find that’s like instead of making anakin basically a war machine when they took him in, the jedi should have made him a crechemaster; if his inability to sever human connections is the worry, then make him connect with a lot of humans and leverage that as a strength instead of a weakness.  rigidly sticking to the dogma of connections = bad and forcing anakin, a traumatized former child slave who loves deeply and without reservation, into being a weapon who’s constantly told he’s forbidden from loving other people, is a recipe for disaster with a dessert of stupidity.  yes, i realize this would mean there’s no epic space opera story to tell and no, i do not mind.

also like.  the entire sequel trilogy tbh.  finn getting a lightsaber and being a jedi just like rey because didn’t they learn in the original war that p much wiped out the jedi that working as a team is better than alone. poe not being a plot punching bag.  rey not being palpatine’s grandkid because what the fuck.  the way they really took the worst part of the og trilogies-- aka that the whole galaxy suffers because of the stupidity of one or two families of people-- and doubled down hard on it and leaned even more into the idea that people are only viable heroes if they have the right bloodline.  i am Not A Fan.

powerbottomblake replied to your post: lol am i too old to write smutty catradora

the moment “touch” and “fur” are in the same sentence it’ll be all over for you merc

actually i just double checked and turns out the devil came for me years ago sofi --

Instead, she kisses Catra, reckless and absolute, and when Catra starts to fumble with the buttons of Adora’s coat, Adora lets her, encourages her, wriggles free and arches against her, and finally feels the soft down of Catra’s fur against her skin, and the humming vibration of Catra’s purr against her breastbone.

powerbottomblake replied to your post: Very glad that a part of working from home is...

I’m day 1 into working from home and it’s been phonecall after phonecall and magically now everything is an emergency and everything has to be delivered simultaneously I think top management just forgets that things…take time…the moment you’re not actively Performing in front of them

It feels like a lot of people in management positions are not coping well with the feeling of loss of control and are finding other ways to demonstrate it by interrupting your day while you’re still at home.
