TUA S4 Concerns *some spoilers for what's been teased so far*

So I'm concerned about Season 4. I want to be hopeful, but I am concerned. C o n c e r n e d.

It's short. There's bits in TUA that I don't personally enjoy as much and skip, there's bits that could have been taken out and nothing would have changed... but I like having that bit of room for more: did we need the Ikea Mafia's viking foot funeral? No. But did we need it? Yes.

The ball pit. The ball pit concerns me on a number of levels, and I'm sure it will be funny, I hope it will be funny, I just hope it's relevant enough why they're in that setting to not be too gimmicky, e.g. it made sense they ended up in the bowling alley; they probably snuck out there as kids and so it was one location they would all know, but man that ball pit worries me like a sleep paralysis demon.

The potential for germaphobe Klaus (sorry that's probs not the correct term but I can't think of what it might be). I can see why he'd be afraid of death now, but is it germ/cleanliness specific? If so why? Klaus has been one of the least concerned about hygiene up to this point so they're laying a whole new framework that I hope they give sufficient depth to. I'm an OCD sufferer myself, about death anxiety in fact, and I haven't resonated OCD with Klaus before if that is what they go for - I'm open to it, just not a cheap OCD gimmick. There's So Much trauma in all these characters at this point, my worry isn't them exploring new avenues as much as not bothering to look into the trauma they've already heaped on and doing something new for the sake of it. If it's done well, I'm all for it, but there's some previous with trauma getting forgotten on TUA so...

The Jennifer Incident. Please, please let this be more interesting than a romance story.

Lila's baby. I love Lila, I don't have a problem with her being preggo etc, I worry a little that TUA tends to speed run life so what is this actually going to look like? Parenthood is such a big life changing deal that I'm curious / cautious about what they'll have done with the characters here.

Viktor. His schtick is that He's Mr Apocalypse, sadly that limits his character coming to a place of peace in some ways. But mostly just let him have an actual conversation? Please? He'll have had 6 years this time skip, if they bullshit that 'oh no one's really seen each other in 6 years' lazy ass nonsense I'll be fuming.

As above, there's been 6 YEARS here, I want to watch the characters and feel that time has passed, that they've interacted, have in jokes now, shared history, maybe not all of them but that makes it even better; have Diego and Klaus have a cleaning routine together to help Diego understand Klaus and trying to be supportive if brusque, but then defending this to his other siblings. Have Luther share some actually positive moments with his other siblings and not just have been in Sloane-hunting solitude, make him always be trying to host awkward family BBQs that the others force (or pretend to force) themselves to go to. Have literally any of the siblings be on the look out or Five's triggers for him - and better yet actually give him some now that he's had time for the PTSD to swell. I want the small nitty gritty details, I want the filling, I want to feel the expanse of time not just 'oh shit another week and there's an apocalypse and we haven't seen each other hey ho oh look a ball pit!'

Anyway, I'm hopeful, but concerned, and I'm sure I'll love it and don't intend to be negative, it just helps me to voice them. Either way, I pray for the fan fiction that follows the series most of all, the rising of the crowd to give us more of what the series does deliver and flesh out what it does not. Is it weird to almost be more excited for that?

Riz is much too tired to defend his friends to his mom but him saying “NOOO mom Kristen does CrossFit now” to explain how he’s not carrying Kristen was so fucking funny

i just think that….

“i don’t think you’re a fraud. i just think that maybe you’re not sure of your own feelings yet… and if there’s something you need to tell eddie… you will. in your own time.”

…..was a super neat thing for her to say.

#i’m absolutely stunned by how this played out #like none of this was framed like he was concerned about telling people he likes a man… it was about telling EDDIE #at this point i almost feel like #he can’t place why he behaved that way.. because it’s not necessarily how he would have reacted if it were anyone else #he literally tells maddie the fact that it was a guy wasn’t the point. it was the eddie of it all #like? once eddie knows he’s fully ready to take tommy to maddie’s wedding… with HIS PARENTS #and everyone else they know #buck baby… you are so close #911 spoilers #cass chats

Genshin fans: So the archons are going to be only 2 men to 5 women? That's kind of uneven...

Mihoyo: Sorry, it is what it is.

Mihoyo in 4.2, giving Neuvillette his authority over Hydro back and straight-up destroying the very concept of the Hydro archon: SIKE.

joseph quinn is so boyfriend shaped

The fandom loves to take Levin and Malachi from Aph and give them to other characters (usually Garroth and Laurance) in their rewrites, and it makes me uncomfortable.

It reminds me of early Owl House discourse where people were convinced Camila was an abusive mom and wanted Eda to adopt Luz. That was tied up in a lot of white favoritism, and I feel similar vibes with Aph. Can we just let one of the only canon poc characters keep her children please?

Like I get it, it’s clear from the original series that the kids are close with Garroth and Laurance, but that doesn’t mean they need to actually literally adopt them, because reminder they already have two moms! That’s regardless of if you ship Zoeymau or not, because it’s clear in the original series that they see both Aph and Zoey as parental figures. Focusing on their lack of father figures honesty feels sexist to me. Aph and Zoey are doing fine raising Levin and Malachi during season 1, they don’t need any help.

#aphmau #aphmau confessions #aphblr #aphverse #aphmau minecraft diaries #aphmau mcd #minecraft diaries #mcd #garroth tag #levin tag #malachi tag #aphmau tag #laurance tag #I hadn't thought abt that before #I don't often see people give Levin or Malachi to other ppl because they dislike Aph as a mother #I rarely see Levin with anyone except Aph/Zoey #and even then it's usually just the hc that Levin is actually Garroth's biological kid #not to say u are wrong in ur observation or concerns #I just hadn't realized this was a prevalent thing #I have seen more Malachi -> Laurance than anything else #but I think that's moreso because Malachi says(?) he sees Laurance as a father #but I think Laurance says in s2 they're both almost like sons to him? #I'm rambling nonsense at this point #I would like to see other ppls thoughts on this topic #I hadn't considered the implications behind it before #long! #🤭

People think Arya is so inherently unworthy that they've even demonized her relationship with her father all because he showed concern and kindness toward her

#Ned:*shows concern for Arya when she has a breakdown about her friends death* #fandom:*this favoritism from Ned is absolutely disgusting he shouldn't have indulged Arya like that!* #like it's literally that they don't want anyone treating Arya /normally/ cause they think her behavior is wrong and she doesn't deserve it #and that Arya having someone who loves her takes away from someone else usually Sansa #so Ned caring about Arya means he doesn't care about Sansa just because we don't have as many scenes with them together 🙄 #people truly don't want Arya to have anything #fandom nonsense #I get so frustrated with this fandom sometimes please George give us the next book already

very scientific Argo 2 crew road trip seating arrangements:

Driving - Reyna. She’s the only one who a.) can drive and b.) can be trusted to drive. I’m pretty sure canonically the only other person on the Argo 2 with a drivers license is Percy.

Passenger’s seat - Frank. He’s helping navigate cause he’s the only person in the car who’s not adhd/dyslexic and also he needs the leg room cause he’s too tall.

Middle seats - Percy on passenger’s side and Piper on driver’s side window seats. Annabeth sitting in the middle. Annabeth’s helping navigate and the three of them are probably sharing snacks and napping on each other the entire ride. Piper also has easy access to mess with everyone sitting around her (Reyna, Annabeth, Jason, kind of also Leo).

Backseats - Jason on driver’s side, Hazel on passenger’s side, Leo in the middle. Leo gets too carsick to be in a window seat plus he’s the only person small enough to fit in that seat. Hazel is also probably a little motion sick and Jason’s mostly just making sure nobody in the back is dying. They’re all having A Time back there and occasionally passing snacks back to Nico and making sure he’s still alive every time the car goes over a bump.

Nico is in the trunk.

#pjo #riordanverse #hoo #heroes of olympus #percy jackson #Nico definitely volunteered to be in the trunk ftr #he's probably napping back there it's fine #i hc Nico Leo and Hazel to all be the shortest of the argo 2 crew so that's also a factor in 2/3 of them being in the backseats #and Nico being in the trunk i guess. he has plenty of room back there he's fine #the combo of nico being in the trunk and reyna driving is also important #because if it was anyone else driving or anyone else in the drunk there would be zero concerns #except maybe like. Hazel. but anybody else? #if they're driving - Eh Nico will be fine *[crashing sounds from trunk]* #if they're in the trunk - eh they'll be fine *[more crashing sounds from trunk]* #Leo would probably have it worst if he was in the trunk cause he already gets carsick

grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.

#ramblez #little white boy sad? U sad bc nobody likes you?

Theres this persistent attitude esp in bendy fanspaces of being defensive of the devs #and I dont know why they have been extremely horrible people every single chance they get #and its very hurtful to see how many people would rather tell me to be kinder to the people who broke the heart of a child me when they #dismissed any ideas of putting queers like me in their stories than to realize Mike n Meatly bring this bad attention to themselves #to put bluntly I dont owe them kindness not until they at least apologize for the shit they did which they still havent #mike hasnt even addressed his vent poem in the code of BATDR let alone the other shit he said n did #so no I will not be kind to him ever hope this helps!

tbh when mitski said “you’re my best friend/now i’ve no one to tell/how i lost my best friend”

#my freshman year of college my best friend and I were both a wreck #and on opposite sides of the country #during winter break I made the decision to share certain information with their parents bc I was actively concerned for their safety #they were deeply upset about me betraying their trust like that and asked for a break in our friendship #(a few months later (which happened to be early March 2020. lol) they did shrooms and realized they wanted to talk to me again lmao) #(so we talked and cried and now we’re still best friends almost 4 years later) #and my birthday is in january so it fell right in the middle of the period we weren’t talking #and my friends at school actually put together a really lovely party and it remains to this day the best bday party ive had #(most of my bdays have been sad and shitty lol) #but i just remember being drunk in my friends dorm room with my friends all around me #it was the end of the night people were just kinda chatting in little groups or whatever #and i was lying on my friends bed just miserable bc all I could think about was how my best friend was supposed to be there too #bc my parents were going to fly them out for the weekend as a present #and obviously that just got dropped #and id been talking to my friends about it kind of but all I wanted was my actual best friend #I left them a very embarrassing drunk voicemail that THANK GOD they deleted without listening to #but it’s just. the quiet agony of being angry and sad and hurt because your person doesn’t want to be ur person anymore #and still wanting to talk to them about it. still needing them to comfort you and give you their advice and insights #i don’t want to talk to anyone else about it. they’re not you. #sigh. anyway. ive actually lost several close friends for various reasons ranging from reasonable to bullshit #and it always blindsides me how much I want to talk to THEM about it #so thanks mitski for expressing that so artfully #op

Wait. I’m out of the loop for the Harley Quinn comic tie in. And I hope I’m reading wrong but. Are you saying they deaged Cass?? To be shipped with Damian??

I'm not sure if that's the reason why she shows up deaged but yeah in the last issue its decided that Cass will go to themyscia with wonder woman but just before she leaves she kisses damian on the check and damian blushes like im crosing every finger I have that it's meant to be platonic but at the way it was framed my hopes ain't exactly high

#ask #anon #ugh #whys it always the animated shows and movies with the weird ships #it started with bruce and teenage babs in btas #then a deaged raven and damian in the animated movie universe #and now we have deaged cass and damian in harley quinn #actually need a break from all this nonsense #lets get onto a better topic #earlier someone reminded me of that good outsiders comic story #the one were jason shows up to tell dick that black lightning is innocent #and its been a long while since i read itbl #but i remember really liking jason in that story #so i thought id look up who wrote it #it was winick again #is there anyone else who knows how to write my son this is getting concerning

going to be late to my own birthday dinner because my dad was in such grave need of getting his second 1.2 kilo bag of chocolate that he made us loop around the costco twice to look for them

#he really just doesnt care about anyone else huh #literally the one time a year we do something i want and hes more concerned about getting two bags of chocolate rather than one than making #the reservation. the reservation is at 7 it's currently 6:15 it takes 45 minutes to get home and we have to drop off our groceries and pick #up my brother and then it'll take at least 20 minutes to get to the restaurant #like what's your fucking problem. if we lose the table bc of his NEED to get a second bag im never fucking talking to him again #rambles

[strqyr]

i'm thinking about the crown of choice again, thanks to the indecisive king and this specific line from it:

The only requirement for seeking an audience with the king was that afterward you had to do whatever he directed.

while the story overall focuses on the crown's ability to show its user a future moment—of a choice they must make—that, obviously, only comes up once a man brings the king it—a silver crown—as a gift, to which the king replies: "Thank you, but I already have a crown."

the crown depicted in the artwork of the story is always golden, although it does miss the familiar blue the lamp and the staff have; however, perhaps noteworthy, the king does wear those colors, which does raise a question:

is the king as much of a hint towards the crown's abilities as is the silver crown of the story?

considering that choice is complementary to knowledge, and knowledge can only answer questions that have to do with the past, it would make sense choice deals with the future to an extent. but, looking at other crowns in rwby, there may just be hints of a darker nature of the crown of choice.

namely, the crown in vacuo, and its two leaders; gillian and jax asturias, and their semblances.

gillian can siphon aura—connected to one's soul—by both giving and taking it, and can transfer it to another person by first draining it from someone else and acting as a link between the two herself. jax's semblance is literal mind control, capable of using it on multiple people at once and its effects can last for weeks, if not months.

there is one other crown that has popped up a few times when it comes to the crown of choice theories, and that is glynda's emblem. at first i was unsure if i wanted to mention it here as glynda has nothing to do with vacuo's crown, but then... well, carmine is incredibly loyal to gillian and has a same semblance as glynda, just less powerful version of it: telekinesis, an ability to control objects—and in glynda's case, also people ( as far as suspending them in the air counts ).

ultimately, it seems that outside of choice ( for now ), crowns symbolize control—of mind, body, and soul.

and ya know, while it would make sense for ozpin to keep the crown super-duper protected simply because of its future vision to the point that even his closest allies don't seem to be aware of its whereabouts... the crown having some sort of mind control ability—an ability to take away one's choice, if you will—would definitely give a much bigger reason than future vision that can seemingly incapacitate a person with indecision would.

random thought to cap this off: the great war came to an end after a battle in which the king of vale personally took part, utterly decimating everyone in his way—

—with a golden sword, to the point that afterwards, even his allies bowed down to him.

that's a very nice golden crown he has to match the golden sword.

...ozma, did you force the peace with the crown?

#rwby #no wonder why oz is increasingly more concerned #about peoples' ability to cooperate #if the crown can't do it then what chance does anyone else have? #it's the wrong line of thinking but i get why
