Under a cut because I’m venting. I’m surprised I even posted it but I had to get it out somewhere.

Adam Taurus has a SCHNEE Dust Company logo branded on his face.

The waterfall fight should have been Team RWBY vs Adam.

My misgivings about Adam’s character direction aside, if we treat him as we’ve been given--that’s still a huge, huge missed opportunity to not have Weiss see that brand on his face.

“Oh, but Weiss can go to Atlas and see the horrible things happening to Faunus for herself!” 

Yeah, but we’re ignoring the fact that BLAKE HAS KNOWN THE ENTIRE TIME and has said absolutely nothing to Weiss.

She talks about wars with the White Fangs and blood shed and Blake doesn’t bring that up.

Not a peep.

Blake had nothing to say when Weiss made that little wince and said “Questionable Business Practices.”

I can’t wrap my head around how this hasn’t been a thing. One of my biggest complaints about the series (I don’t think I’ve said it anywhere, but it is something I’ve thought for a while) since Volume 4 is how disconnected everyone’s stories felt.

They had a huge, huge plot point that could have drawn all four stories into each other--weaving Blake’s story with Weiss--and it was missed.

If that really was planned from the start, they had something that big for three Volumes and did nothing with it.

And that’s frustrating.

(And it is big. He has a brand on his face. There are a lot of historical implications about this practice and almost all of them are bad. And even those tend not to be over a person’s eye.)

Why would you ever like/want to read age gap where a grown adult is with a teenager!?

Maybe because it’s the only way to write about someone inexperienced with someone experienced without being mocked or told you’re writing “Born Sexy Yesterday” (and then being mocked and condemned for that particular offense).

I feel like the second you write anyone over 20 as sexually inexperienced, people either start laughing at how pathetic it is or start wondering what’s wrong with the character. The older the characters get, the more intense it gets

If you’re single at 30, most people assume it’s because you have a few failed relationships under your belt (or are widowed). Being 30 and inexperienced (or never have dated/married) is almost a crime to some people.

They literally can not wrap their heads around it.

Hell, that whole “Born Sexy Yesterday” video pretty much embodies this! The entire video is basically screaming: “How dare you write about a grown woman who has no sexual experience!? The only way they’d be that ignorant is if they’re a teenager or a child!!!”

So if you want to write a fantasy about an experienced partner being considerate of your feelings and willing to take things slow, your only option is pretty much age gap unless you have nerves of steel (or want to write some fantasy scenario where one of the two people comes from an entirely different world so simulate the same thing--aka the “Born Sexy Yesterday” thing).

Kylo Ren & General Hux (as controversial as that pairing is nowadays) might actually be the first time I've seen two 30 year olds depicted in fanfiction with at least one of them having no idea what they’re doing with intimacy (whether it’s because of work or vows) and have it be perfectly normal. It’s refreshing & even though most of it I still can’t really read (they’re a villain pair, so it’s not all understanding...a lot of it’s pretty dark in ways that do squick me), it’s nice when you find that one good one.

But wait! You’re still going to get “called out” for writing a messed up pairing of an adult with a teenager!

Yeah, but it doesn’t hit home as personally.

“A grown adult with a teenager is probably an abuse of power!”

My usual response: Well, yeah. I write about people stabbing each other, too and non-con stuff. People write about crime and dark things all the time. It’s not real. Don’t copy things in fiction and use your head.

It’s same, old, same old.

“If you’re over 30 and have no sexual experience (or are single), something is wrong with you.”

That one hurts. It’s personal, especially if the author is writing about their own experiences. It makes you feel ashamed of yourself and guilty.

I’d rather with people accusing me of being an abuser (something I know isn’t true) than relive over and over again things people already yell every day at anyone who’s over 30 and single (whether they’ve had sex or not). Because if enough people yell “Something is wrong with you” over a thing that’s true, you start to believe it.

Which might explain why they turn to fiction to escape.

Edit: I was venting a bit, so I forgot to mention that this is only one reason someone might want to write age gap. People like different things in dark fiction, so they could have any plethora of reasons for writing it. Generally though, I was mostly thinking of age gap where the experienced partner is more on the understanding/kind side of things. I won’t deny it comes in some flavors that are decidedly more unhealthy (which is also fine to write as long as you know it’s fiction and aren’t applying it to real life).

Also I meant “one of the only” ways to write about this topic. There are other ways to explore experience vs inexperience without using age gap. It’s just the easiest & most relatable (because most people remember being a fumbling teenager).

Well, I have deleted all of the audio post reblogs from my blog because the stress, anxiety and paranoia is not worth it.

(I've never actually originally posted anything anyway, because frankly, I was always paranoid about this.)

Though if you ask me, this is the music industry shooting itself in the foot.

I can honestly say that 90% of the music I've purchased in the past year is something I heard and/or reblogged on Tumblr.

So, there goes sales for them if I can't see them here anymore. I don't listen to the radio, and I barely watch TV any more--and my Youtube experience is now almost exclusively watching Let's Players. 

So yeah. This was it for new music discovery. 

Enjoy your lost sales.
