#until it didn't

Tenebrae: There were two girls that came up to me and one of them was like:

Melancholia: She called me the 'b-word'.

Tenebrae: And the other girl turns around and was like:

Valkyrie: 'Mouthfucker' doesn't start with a 'b'

What part of the dark feels comforting to them?

Not much; Gai is very much afraid of the dark, or at least what he perceives as darkness:

He isn't afraid of solitude -- it's where he gets his rest, and works on the balance and harmony of the soul -- a very crucial foundation for his martial arts.

But he is afraid of loneliness, and he is afraid of failure -- real failure, not productive failure.

Gai would rather craft a narrative or an ambition for himself to believe in rather than to dwell in his negative feelings, which are more likely to consume him than to provide familiar comfort.

The Tachonis scrambling and making "gone fishing" excuses makes so much more sense now. They thought they'd have a crazy powerful undead celestial under their control and no one would dare stand up to that. They didn't account for the plan failing. They cut corners and assumed it would all work out because they haven't actually had to put effort into anything in over 70 years.

rotating the qrow, clover, robyn, and tyrian scenes in V7 in my head bc the potential implication for the summer, raven, salem, possibly spring? mess is. well. it's something.

qrow, clover, and robyn go to arrest tyrian and it goes smoothly until it doesn't: clover follows ironwood's orders to arrest qrow, the whole thing turns into a mess that tyrian is enjoying immensely, the ship crashes, robyn is unconscious and thus sidelined, qrow and clover fight—"we don't have to fight, friend." "you don't know my friends. that's how it always goes."—tyrian gets involved, and clover dies—it's not qrow who kills him, it's his weapon, but he blames himself all the same—"i made a deal with the darkness, and he paid the price."—and is also blamed by others who weren't present (like harriet).

yang, who wasn't present, believes raven killed spring. raven says it was mercy. (and while jaune technically was the one to kill penny, it was cinder who fatally injured her and put them into that situation in the first place.)

qrow: why couldn't you just do the right thing instead of the thing you were told? raven: i'm sure they told you plenty, and you just sat and obeyed.

clover's semblance is good luck -> he dies -> qrow's semblance seemingly evolves to include good luck as well.

if spring was involved, then obv she was the maiden -> she dies -> raven becomes the spring maiden.

the episode is literally called with friends like these (who needs enemies?) ('war' is a great song btw) (all about that friendship and family and betrayal) (with greatest hits like:)

you screwed me in the perfect way / a friend betrayed / just another mourner / content to follow orders and just a mindless weapon / pointed at an enemy / a simple tool providing someone else with victory, with the latter echoing 'time to say goodbye'—are we heroes keeping peace? / or are we weapons / pointed at the enemy so someone else can claim a victory?—as well as 'this will be the day'—a story will be told / and victory is in a simple soul—referencing ruby / silver-eyed warriors(?) (hi summer).

idk if this is anything but if it is, it has layers upon layers.

Matheson falling over. 5.24.21

@sidneycrosbees not sure if this is the kind of content you want, but it made me laugh

[drawbauchery]

they’re still best friends and nothing will ever change that

me: unlike some people, I have things going on in my life other than a TV show so I don’t need to freak out over every little thing that happens on Star Trek

also me: if anything bad happens to Saru I will kill God
