can ruby and weiss PLEASE devolve into flinging guacamole at each other like losers

there is no guacamole flinging. there is an all-out guacamole brawl. they stomp across the finish line four hours behind the other pairs, both completely covered in guacamole. Glynda just shakes her head and sighs.

[escaped-from]

big spoon/little spoon: 

despite the height difference, ruby is the big spoon; she is a gigantic clinger in her sleep and always ends up with her arms wrapped around whoever she’s with. weiss, for her part, is fine with this because she’s incredibly awkward about giving physical affection. plus, it’s nice to feel like ruby wants her there.

favorite non-sexual activity:

sparring – ruby always has some new prototype for a weapon she’s invented this week, and weiss enjoys the chance to hone her technique in battle.

who uses all the hot water in the mornings:

weiss. she has a lot more hair, and anyhow ruby showers fast: she has STUFF TO DO, OKAY, THE REST OF HER LIFE IS WAITING.

what they order from takeout:

it takes weiss a long time to appreciate takeout as a concept – she grew up with an assortment of incredibly talented family cooks (nothing but the best for the schnees, after all) and has very little faith in anything that isn’t a five-star restaurant, plus being terrified of food poisoning. ruby, however, grew up with chinese takeout and has very specific friday night traditions that she refuses to budge on.

most trivial thing they fight over: 

weiss’s emotionally stunted means of demonstrating fondness; ruby’s inability to sit still; the fact that ruby sometimes spends all day in the shop building weapons and forgets to eat; wess’s inability to loosen up; whether or not ruby should have to learn german in order to impress weiss’s family and if weiss should have to learn mandarin as a form of payment.

who does most of the cleaning: 

weiss. she cannot stand a mess.

who controls the netflix queue: 

ruby! weiss was raised to think television and movies were just a distraction, so she doesn’t care; ruby, of course, loves action movies and also devours adventure time voraciously. (weiss thought the latter was too juvenile to be worth her attention, but she ended up getting sucked in during one of ruby’s marathons, and now whenever it’s on she comes over and sits quietly on the couch, enthralled. ruby knows better than to rub it in.)

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: 

ruby. much as weiss hates to admit it, ruby has superior interpersonal skills, and she enjoys the chance for casual conversation while she’s at it. nothing wrong with being friends with the person who owns your living space.

who steals the blankets: 

this is a subject of great contention and we don’t talk about it in polite company.

who leaves their stuff around: 

ruby. always ruby. and then when weiss puts it back in a perfectly ordered fashion she can’t find anything.

who remembers to buy the milk:

you’d think thiswould fall to weiss again, but it’s actually ruby – weiss grew up with housekeepers and maids who kept track of that kind of thing, while ruby used to go to the grocery story with yang every week when they were kids.

who remembers anniversaries: 

weiss. ruby is notoriously bad at keeping track of dates, and weiss is a very skilled event planner. ruby doesn’t entirely get what all the fuss is about – she’d rather spend the day sparring with weiss until she pins her to the gym floor and seals their mouths together – but she knows that members of the schnee family don’t put this kind of effort into just anyone, so she’s grateful.

big spoon/little spoon: 

yang, like ruby, is a giant clinger, but blake likes to sleep facing her partners. they usually end up in a kind of loose hug as a result.

favorite non-sexual activity:

blake’s is talking about books, and yang’s is listening to blake talking about books. blake is usually so taciturn and closed off, but when she’s talking about a book she loves, her face lights up in a way almost no one gets to see, and yang enjoys feeling like she’s seeing this piece of blake that’s just for her. a close second is blake hanging onto yang from behind when they’re riding that ridiculous orange motorcycle.

who uses all the hot water in the mornings:

yang. blake’s showers are extremely efficient and take almost no time despite her long hair. yang, meanwhile, loves to hang around and daydream.

what they order from takeout:

outside of chinese food like ruby, yang also loves spicy-hot stuff – indian, mexican, the whole nine yards. blake’s tastes are a little more subtle; she’s particularly fond of pho.

most trivial thing they fight over: 

they don’t really fight – yang is too fundamentally good-natured and blake is very patient and calm and sensible when bringing up something that bothers her – but yang will sometimes whine if blake doesn’t want to go out dancing, and blake finds herself somewhat aggravated when yang picks fights with sexist dudebros at bars.

who does most of the cleaning: 

blake. she doesn’t mind mess, really, but she likes knowing where things are.

who controls the netflix queue: 

this is a frequent area of compromise, because they have extremely different tastes; yang loves ridiculous action movies and gory horror (the shittier the better, in her opinion; yang adores a good terrible movie), while blake enjoys well-crafted procedurals like elementary and luther. they switch off every week; sometimes, blake will do her best to appreciate the je ne sais quois of the fast and furious series, and other times yang will do her best not to get antsy when idris elba is gazing soulfully at the floor. (he’s hot, so that helps some.)

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: 

blake. yang is often too distracted to deal with such trivialities – and she prefers, god forbid, finding creative ways to SUMMON heat through sheer force of will and candlesticks, as opposed to actually fixing the problem.

who steals the blankets: 

yang. and she kicks when you try to take them back, too. (blake, luckily, is mostly just amused by this.)

who leaves their stuff around: 

yang tends to leave a greater diversity of stuff, but blake will sometimes leave whatever books she’s in the middle of reading scattered around as well.

who remembers to buy the milk:

blake. blake is extremely responsible about groceries in general, since she remembers a time in her life when food wasn’t always easy to come by.

who remembers anniversaries: 

yang, and she loves making A HUGE GODDAMN DEAL OUT OF THEM, but not in the way where she plans an extravagant dinner – rather, she finds some cool new thing to do or a place to explore or an out-of-the-way bookshop to take blake to. and blake expresses her gratitude, but she’s honestly way more touched than she lets on: she isn’t used to someone doing so much for her, trying to make her so happy, and she wants to give something back. she’s not quite sure what, but she tries, pays close attention to what yang cares about and what she really wishes she could do.

a lot of the time, they just end the day at this spot somewhere out in the woods. there’s a clearing, and past the treetops, they can see every single star.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

GINNYMARIE

How I feel about this character: ok lemme just break this down right now. ginnymarie aka tumblr user fallingaparttocuttime is seriously (1000000000% not kidding right now) one of the sweetest people i have ever met. she is completely genuine and kind and lovely and always goes out of her way to be an excellent person and friend. she is super cute and RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY and talented at hoopz and i just really adore her a lot. a lot a lot. everyone else should too. the end.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: rubikovs (duhhhhhhhh OTMurdership TO END ALL OTMs), and carolyb and myself, and this twitter, and really anyone else ginny chews on

My non-romantic OTP for this character: everyone should be friends with ginny (unless u r not cool ppl then leave her alone) the end

My unpopular opinion about this character: i feel like the only unpopular ginny opinion would be "ginny is bad" and you will never find me saying that unless it ends with "at not giving me boners"

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i wish ginny had been there for my last semester of school :((((((( (but i am very glad she got to go to germany!!!!)

Got a text from my dad, she's got diverticulitis, which. Painful, but better than my anxiety-riddled brain worried myself up into thinking of. She's staying the night, but she should be okay.

sour-idealist replied to your post: pssssst, ashley! question about the last of us? because youre making me super super interested but you posted that meta and it makes me wonder its clearly a sad story, but like. is it a humans-are-monsters story, or a hopeful one? the thing about the protag being a beast and the okay and ellie hugging him - is it like OH NOOO SHES A MONSTER TOO or is it, like. theyll both heal in the end?

hmmm. but youd rec it, Im guessing?

oh, definitely! like i couldn't PLAY it because a) money and b) i cannot do survival horror i would've freaking died because my hands would be shaking

but. if you don't mind your heart being ripped repeatedly from your chest. it's quite good. and there are aspects of earn your happy ending, on some scale. and that's all i can say without major spoilers.

Ha. hahaha. OKAY SO…

It’s an apocalypse/infection story? And like, a showing humanity is fucked now and everything but there’s hope and stuff and…it’s fucking complicated, pretty much? And pretty much you can take the ending as being sort of hopeful or not. But it’s a really morally grey story, if that helps?

Pretty much as things go on, Joel gets more hopeful and Ellie gets more jaded. And where we leave it, it could go a lot of ways.
