#fucking blake you dramatic wonder!

[dominimoonbeam]

Redacted ASMR is my absolute favorite soap opera EVER. 

not an insult. huge compliment. i love soap opera drama/plotting. it is peak entertainment and at the core of almost all the best things.

Amnesia relationship trope while one is being held hostage by a “mastermind” villain for the fucking win!

I’m not a Blake fan and cults wig me out, but I am officially loving this plot.

blakefriarr_: so many things have happened since i last popped up on all your timelines and made them immeasurably better!

this is episode one of season two of i-am-both-the sister-of-the-devils-home-emergency-backup-goaltender-and-also-happen-to-be dating-dawson-mercer-forward-for-the-devils series!

these pictures are in no particular order, because, i am moving into a new place with afore mentioned dawson mercer and have spent the last several weeks making it look like it's not the most depressing back alley murderous apartment any of you have ever laid your eyes on

and apparently, i have a ball ton of stuff!

regardless, here's what i've caught up on;

the entire nhl draft! though i have not acquired any new adoptees, it did come to my attention that the anaheim ducks as an organization did personally victimize me during the 2023 entry draft (they also took a BALLSY amount of time to re-sign bitch one and bitch two. what the literal fuck, dudes). also- if you are seeing this and you need help to flee, blink twice (not you adam) (you know who you are)

2, the entire preseason was also missed while i was one, curing myself from jetlag and the absolute dread of going back to uni and two, moving my egregious amount of shit with a spiteful level of independence. the devils won every preseason game! dawson scored that clusterfuck of a goal on slide two and we also got to see goalie bonks again! (i told you those pics weren't in order and i meant it)

three, (or four, i forgot what came first) quinneth played his first regular season game as captain of the canucks ad they kicked ass against the edmonton dudes. goncrats captain ;p

four (probably) rookie had both his first reg season nhl game AND his birth on the same day! he cried on camera for thousands of viewers and made me question kidnapping his brother and locking him in an abandoned building in ohio (who am i kidding i don't want to be in ohio). the blue jackets have since been doing blue jacket things (losing)

five (it's all blended together these days) the devs started their regular season and now i get to go to the arena and watch in peace as nico makes dumb faces, jack gets into petty scrums and goes to the box (apparently? that ones new.) and dawson does dawson things (be hot)

sixth and finally, assistant coach and captain quinn (he should probably drop a title for his mental health, me thinks) turned 24! i giggled profusely at an edit of him as tracksuit rob. good job on aging, kid 🎉

that's all, i think. (probably not, what do i know)

Jake : “Toss it up here, then you can get up here.” Michael, off-screen : “You want me to throw the camera?” Jake : “You’re the best archer in camp, you have aim that’s only rivaled by Artemis’s hunters. You’re telling me you can’t throw a camera a couple feet?” Michael, off-screen : “Lee will kill me if it breaks.” Jake : “Did you forget who my dad is? Dumbass. Give it here.”

Hey I seen you were open possibly writing more blurbs for the team baby series. Could you maybe write something about seeing Charlotte’s bio dad out and how he and Thomas react

so this one is long because i’ve been working on it for a while, also side note, i always picture blake as blake gray so do with that as you will

“can you please stop putting things in my carriage? she does not need every single thing that she looks at thomas,” you groaned as thomas added another stuffed animal to the carriage. why you decided to go through the toy aisle with thomas and charlotte you’ll never know. you were simply passing though that section of the store, and of course thomas couldn’t say no to charlotte, so he put anything and everything she looked at in your cart.

“okay let’s go, we have more things on the list to actually get,” you exclaimed, waving around the small piece of paper for dramatic effect. thomas laughed, arm snaking around your waist as he planted a kiss on your cheek. “yeah. i need to grab some protein powder for the house, so why don’t i do that while you get the snacks you wanted,” he suggested. “yeah sure. meet me in the snack aisle?” you asked and he nodded before the two of you temporarily parted ways.

you pushed the carriage into the snack aisle, looking for the trail mix that you liked. you were barely paying attention, and you neglected to notice the person standing at the other end of the aisle. “y/n?” they called, and you felt your shoulders stiffen at the sound of his voice. why was he talking to you?

you turned to face him, a tight-lipped smile on your face. “hi blake,” you mumbled, looking at the tall boy in front of you. “hey. how um how have you been?” he asked awkwardly. “fine since you left,” you snapped, throwing the trail mix into the carriage and moving to leave this incredibly uncomfortable situation.

blake scoffed at your words. “you’re still on about that?” he asked, and you were really wondering why you ever decided to date this asshole. “what the fact that you left me high and dry when i told you i was pregnant with your child? yeah, i’m still on about that,” you yelled. blake didn’t say anything after that. the both of you stood there in silence just staring at each other.

“hey babe i got the…what the fuck are you doing here?” thomas said as he took his spot next to you. his arm took its place around your waist, something that didn’t go unnoticed by blake. said boy scoffed, again, and rolled his eyes. “of course you’re fucking bordeleau. i always knew there was something going on between the two of you,” blake said. your mouth fell open at his words, and thomas’s hold on you tightened.

“the fuck did you just say to my girlfriend?” he asked, seething with anger. “you heard me,” your ex said, eyes challenging thomas to do something. it seemed like thomas was going to accept that challenge as his arm dropped from around you and he placed the protein powder in the carriage. you realized what was about to happen and grabbed your boyfriend's hand. you gently shook your head no, and you could tell thomas didn’t like that, but he wasn’t willing to argue with you.

“you stay the fuck away from my girlfriend, understood?” thomas threatened, taking the carriage from you. then, he grabbed your hand and led you away from blake. you walked in silence for a couple of minutes, eyes flickering to charlotte every now and then.

“you okay baby?” thomas asked you softly. your eyes met his. “he didn’t even look at her,” you whispered, tears brimming in your eyes. “good. he doesn’t deserve to look at her. he left and the two of you are so much better off without him,” thomas said. thomas was right. charlotte didn’t need blake in her life; you didn’t need blake in your life. “yeah you’re right,” you agreed, letting thomas lead you to the checkout lines.

oh my god. the whole white fang sub plot was a disaster. i absolutely loved blake's "take no shit" attitude from the start, i mean she ambushed(?) torchwick during a robbery and held the main criminal at knifepoint and called out the wf people who were assisting roman. "brothers of the white fang, why are you aiding this scum?" or something along those lines.

but then i guess the plot was too much to handle and by retconning it, blake's character was ruined. bc it was a huge part of her character. (and i absolutely hate how she was revealed to not only live in a huge ass place but also her dad was a respected mayor(?) and the former leader of the wf who stepped down peacefully.)

so she was extremely privileged over everyday faunus, completely opposite of her character song, her trailer, etc. she wouldn't have had to fight to survive, which is what she'd stated before. she lived outside the kingdoms, yes, but there didn't seem to be a reason for her to fight to survive-- if danger came up, she had armed guards!

blake went from a no nonsense, take no shit character to... to whatever she is now.

also the white fang arc / plot in general was yikes from the start. im pale as fuck but even i went 🤨🤔 when I realized the white fang were a stand-in for poc / racism. and how convenient it is that blake's trait- cat ears- are not only easily hidden but also cute, as ruby puts it.

all of the ""good"" faunus are conveniently "cute": velvet is a rabbit, blake is a cat, etc.

and no one says anything about yang literally leading blake around with a laser pointer? yknow, a cat toy? ik it's supposed to be "haha funny cat girl" but the way blake's cat traits are bc she's a faunus... yikes my guy

AND marrow. oh my god. marrow deserved better. not only is he a moc, but also a faunus. he gets treated as the butt of jokes, his semblance is activated by him snapping his fingers and yelling "stay", a common dog command, he gets called "wags"... ugh. and marrow refers to the dark brown(?) part of... the bone. even his name. i love marrow, but he deserved so much better.

sorry for rambling hhhh

- anon / on a side blog bc i would rather not have a shit ton of people sending me death threats :(

blake went from a no nonsense, take no shit character to… to whatever she is now.

Legit, From Shadows is painting an entirely different Blake, and Casey is singing about shit Blake literally would never encounter if her home life was what it is in V4 onwards.

and no one says anything about yang literally leading blake around with a laser pointer? yknow, a cat toy? ik it's supposed to be "haha funny cat girl" but the way blake's cat traits are bc she's a faunus… yikes my guy

There's tons of little moments like that throughout the show, mostly centered on Blake. Off the top of my head I count Zwei, the laser pointer, the tuna bowl dramatics, etc. It's a racial allegory except when it's funny, basically.

AND marrow. oh my god. marrow deserved better. not only is he a moc, but also a faunus. he gets treated as the butt of jokes, his semblance is activated by him snapping his fingers and yelling "stay", a common dog command, he gets called "wags"… ugh. and marrow refers to the dark brown(?) part of… the bone. even his name. i love marrow, but he deserved so much better.

You have to wonder if they were trying to be as gross as possible when designing Marrow, the character they were going to have address tiptoe around the racial disparity issue.

[apathyandmischief]

I haven't seen this done and it might be too niche, but I don't care and I want to do it so I am.

Burlesque Ask Game!

What's your stage name? What does it mean?

Lizzie Blaze. My middle name is Elizabeth and my partner's stage name ends with Blaze as well (based on his native name, Blazing Path) so I stole it lmao.

When did you make your debut?

October of 2019! I can't believe I'm headed up on five years doing this :')

Why do you do it?

For the rush, honestly. I grew up loving burlesque and old school pin up and always wanted to try it. It's such a heady, powerful feeling to command a stage. Also for all the shy girls who come up to me after my shows!! They're the best and like my reason to live!!!

Do you ever get stage fright?

I do! Nearly five years in and I still wonder what the fuck I'm doing every time I get on stage.

What's your pre-show ritual?

Panic, run through everything in my head, overthink, and if my sweet angel of a con bestie is there, get fed drinks 😭

First routine?

This is so fucking basic and everyone does this, but Jessica Rabbit 🥲

Last routine?

The last one I did was Miss Frizzle to Hot For Teacher. I loved it, the audience loved it, but my partner did not and kinda got upset with me over it (I went too far, in his opinion. He's a cishet man, so we've grappled with jealousy and internalized toxic masculinity. We both prefer I perform to a queer audience bc he's okay with me interacting with women and I prefer that anyway, but it's not always possible. We've worked it out though). Had a mini crisis and took a brief hiatus after that, but I'm back in it now.

Favorite routine?

That's such a toss up! I think either my Vegas showgirl inspired Vulpix routine to a custom mix of Bumps & Grinds by Sonny Lester and Fast Girls by Atom Smith, or my gay ass Daphne Blake routine to Crimson and Clover by Joan Jett (featuring Velma's sweater).

Dream routine?

God what I wouldn't give you have a femme partner to do gay routines with. I would LOVE to do a Loki and Mobius to Casual Affair by P!atD (I already have it choreographed) or a deeply dramatic and skillful Freddy and Nancy routine to the VCTRYS cover of Come To My Window. I also want to do a badass showgirl Oogie Boogie with a burlap blacklight costume that has a big ass bustle, break away corset with bugs, snake eye dice pasties, and a fuck all huge witch hat that has a roulette table underneath.

Favorite costume?

Definitely my Vulpix. I've already said it so much but it's just so showgirl! It's a gold corset, puff sleeve wrap top, open front bustle skirt, boa "tail", gold gloves, black stockings, red garter, and red strappy lingerie. After the aforementioned crisis though, I threw half of it away and I hate myself for it

Favorite prop?

I don't typically use props, but we have this magic act cane that like pops out (I'm so bad at explaining things jfc) that's super fun

Favorite reveal?

When I did a Grinch routine a while back, I had a pair of panties that said "I kissed Santa" 😈

Plain pasties or tassels?

I am not skilled with tassels 🥲

Upbeat or slow burn?

Usually I go for upbeat! But I do love a good slow burn sometimes

What's your style?

Definitely neo-burlesque, because I primarily do cosplay burlesque. But I love adding classic influence with big band jazz and sparkly outfits and classic inspired moves

Do you still/did you ever kitten?

I actually skipped that step in my burlesque journey? But I host and produce now, so I'll happily jump up and kitten for my cast whenever needed

Inspirations?

I really love Lavendelle, Ginger Valentine, and the Les Vixens troupe!

Best performer you know personally?

Her name is Peachy Sweets and she's the biggest sweetheart and worthy of so much love, she's just the best 🥲💖

Do you have a stage mom? Are you a stage mom?

I don't have one, but I've dragged so many people into my world and now I love playing stage mom behind the scenes!

Plug your next show! (If you're comfy sharing location based details)

I don't have specifics for the next one yet, but I run the burlesque shows at my local comic con and can always be found there!

#burlesque #cabaret #performers #burlesque dancers #idk what else to tag this with #but share with your burly pals!! #I'd really love to see y'all's answers!!!

RWBY Wonder Egg AU episode 10

Blake's plan is some extreme anime bullshit. And somehow really fucking gay on like multiple levels???

Like first all of the mirroring and equalling Weiss stuff and then all the You (and Ruby) will wake me up after we save Weiss, with that look.

To the surprise of no one Blake's nightmare is what she'd have become if she willingly stayed with Adam and bought into his beliefs. This is all very awful for her but I gotta say, the black and red suit is a look on her. The heels are a whole new level of impractical though.

I swear some of the stuff Shion does with their strings is just for the fucking drama. Like just transfer the nightmare with some chain gloves? Maybe some tongs? Stop eating the animating budget when you know there is gonna be a big fight, you guys already struggle with that.

For example when Weiss jumped through the air, just a minute fraction of the attention paid to making Shion's strings undulate could have been used to add some speed/motion lines so it didn't look like she was just floating along like a blimp in the middle of a past paced action sequence.

Anyways. Negative!Weiss's reaction to Negative!Blake? The confusion and unwillingness to believe it is a real Blake (probably because it can sense the other nightmare but is sticking to script) Hella fucking gay vibes too, classic Weiss if we're being honest.

Yang only discovering her bike can ride sideways on walls was neat. Kind of a Deus ex machina at this point but neat.

I'm gonna say it, if Jaune starts swinging that oversized fucking sword again and somehow wins I am rioting. He couldn't even lift the thing before and accidentally boosting Ruby and Shion with his Aura is not enough ability growth to make him capable with a sword he couldn't even fucking carry.

I admit I laughed when Ruby shot Whitley to get the relic back and then mused aloud if that's how Weiss intended her to use Crescent Rose. She might have been talking about her stance or technique but it's funnier if she was talking about just shooting Whitley.

The final frame of Ruby vs The Nightmare was very cinematic and also if she doesn't pull the damn trigger and shoot that thing right in the face the very second the next episode starts then what even was the point of acting like Weiss moving where Crescent Rose shoots from was intentional?

Also if anymore gets read into that or implied than just Weiss having opinions about the logic of Crescent Rose I am gonna riot over that too, because the alternative is that Weiss somehow knew how this whole fucking thing was gonna play out in order for Ruby to need to shoot like that and if that's true then she probably could have been out of this dream days ago. Weiss is dramatic but she's not kill herself and her teammates stupid level of dramatic.

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: the dark knight rises

i don’t think anything can top the dark knight, but i hope this one comes close

can’t believe that’s tom hardy

is that a fucking dead body?

it must be so hard for gordon to say nice things about harvey when he tried killing his son

oh shit barbara took the kids and left

GORDON’S GONNA GET FIRED? what the fuck

selina’s nosy ass

she stole his dead moms necklace omg? i like her

he made the bed 😭

alfred: perhaps you should start learning to make your own bed

bruce:

“at this point, i’d set you up with a chimpanzee” pls

alfred loves bruce so much ☹️

i wonder why the wayne foundation would pull funding from that place

oh selina’s good

how tf does blake know bruce was batman???

“this is my party, mr. wayne.” “…oh.” lmfaooo

no thoughts just selina kyle

lmaooo she stole his car

alfred is loving it 😭

surprise, surprise…bane was trained by ra’s

“…sorry.” was he aiming for bruce? 😭

“sir, what about the armed robbers?” dkgjfjs that smile fell so quick

“so that’s what that feels like.” finally, a taste of his own medicine

bet alfred regrets burning that letter

this bruce and alfred scene…

this movie’s kinda slow

not this bitch taking advantage of bruce while he’s clearly vulnerable

bruce kinda deserves to get his ass kicked, ngl. he should’ve just listened to alfred and minded his damn business

why does selina look like she’s two seconds away from crying? she’s the one who led him there

damn they’re tearing that city apart

oh shit he exposed gordon

i completely forgot about bruce existing for a few moments

is that fucking crane??

“he should be so lucky.” 😭😭

i am once again saying that bruce is such a dramatic bitch

I KNEW MIRANDA WAS DIRTY

not bane crying fjvjdjdj

selina is such a queen

alfred ☹️

martha and thomas home for children oh what the fuck i’m gonna start sobbing

ROBIN???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME FKGJGJFKDK

bruce and selina ending up together feels good. feels organic.

howww was there never a trilogy where blake picks up where bruce left off? i would’ve gladly watched those movies bc blake had lots of potential

Those Wintry Nights

Yang: Soooo, I’m guessing you wanna hear all about our thrilling heroics, eh Jaune?

Jaune: *Dazedly looking into the distance* Huh? Oh, that. No, I’m good.

Nora: *Dramatic gasp* Ren! Something’s wrong with Jaune! Take his temperature!

Ren: *Ignores*

Ruby: She does have a point, Ren. Jaune was really disappointed after all.

Weiss: *Playfully* Well he is basically a glorified babysitter.

Yang: It was pretty exciting. Me and Blake were awesome! *Clutches bicep*

Marrow: I was there. It’s true.

Yang: Sound less enthused, why don’t you? *Glares at Marrow*

Blake: *Trying to be the voice of reason* Come on guys, be fair. After dealing with a bunch of small children all day, y’know, when he’s not just directing traffic, Jaune’s probably just tired.

Jaune: *Cuts off Yang* Y-yeah, that’s it! I’m tired. *Scratches neck* Really tired actually.

Nora: *Extremely loud and annoying gasp* It is so the haircut!

Yang: Henh?

*Nora zips over to Jaune, grabs his collar*

Nora: *Cackling* No wonder you’re tired, fearless leader!

Weiss: *Hand goes over mouth* Oh my.

Ruby: That’s, ahehehehe *breaks off into giggling*

Marrow: Oh what!? How did-who would-how could he *growls* Viiine, why him!?

Vine: *Calmly sitting next to a bemused Harriet* Do I know him any better than you, Marrow?

Marrow: *Whines*

Jaune: Nora! No!

Blake: Or maybe he’s tired because he’s been hooking up with Cassie.

Jaune: Her name is--

Yang: Pfft, who needs names! You’ve been getting freaky with a MILF on your shift!

Oscar: *To Ren* It’s like this a lot, isn’t it?

Ren: *Suffering* Yes.

*Jaune has a very obvious, very dark hickey*

Yang: So, what was she like?

Ruby: *Stops giggling, appalled and blushing* Yang!

Nora: Ooh, did she ask you to add some sausage to her casserole!?

Weiss: *Embarrassed and blushing a bit, but mostly disgusted* Nora, that’s vile!

Marrow: I need you to teach me your ways, wise and venerated one!

Qrow: *Sighs* I need a drink. *Remembers he quit drinking* Dammit.

Blake: Is she really that good that she’s leaving you so tapped out? *Ignores Ruby’s sputtering*

Jaune: *Completely overwhelmed and embarrassed* G-guys, ch-chill! And I’m not answering any of your questions, they’re all--

Jaune: *Realizes his error*

*Dead fucking silence*

Nora: *Proud and sniffling* You dog.

Yang: Wait, all of them!? That's like *remembers what Nora told her* six women! And you’re a virgin!

Jaune: *Weakly* Was. I was a virgin. A few weeks ago.

Weiss: *Loses the battle and blushes, both hands cover her mouth now* Oh my.

Ruby: *To herself* I’m an adult, I can handle adult things, including a friend getting intimate with six older women, noIcan’tnowI’mimagingthingsaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

Marrow: *In total respect and awe, to Harriet and Vine* I know him. He’s my friend.

Blake: I-I. There are no words.

Yang: *Still can’t believe it* Six! How!?

Jaune: I’m a teenager. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex. They’re also really, really fucking hot. And just when I think I’m empty all of a sudden I learn new things. *Eyes glaze over* If anyone ever tells you that six mouths working together isn’t all it’s cracked up to be then clearly they’ve never been sucked or licked by six fucking mouths.

*Silence reigns once more*

Jaune: Welp. That did it. *Opens scroll, puts it to his ear and then winces* Y-yeah, you told me alright. Yes, you win. Yes that means I’ll do the thing. I promise. I-I’m an Arc! It’s embarrassing and kind of weird, but I did give you my word. So, uh, *blushes brightly* yeah, okay, figures. I’ll be over in five.

*Hangs up*

Jaune: Well, gotta go. *Goes quickly*

Marrow: *Into the shocked silence* I’ve never wanted to be somebody else more than I do right now.

the team rwby girls for the ask meme :)

alright settle in kids,,,,,,, let's do this one

Ruby:

favorite thing about them

just,,,,,, how good she is,,,,, the way they've managed to portray her growing up super well while also keeping that distinct innocence and childhood optimism about her is what makes ruby such a wonderful protag i think, and i really really love how, at the end of the day, she is just good, you know?

least favorite thing about them

this is moreso a plot/writing thing, but i don't always LOVE how she just has plans ready and is always the one to figure things out,,,,,, i understand plot armour and protag themes and whatnot, but i wish that they'd make the route to a plan a LITTLE more complex at times and i think a lot of that rests on ruby specifically

favorite line

"you were, and then you trained us"

GOD when she said this line????? i screamed it's SO good

brOTP

give me more nora and ruby interactions crwby i'm begging

OTP

nuts n dolts 😭 my beloved

nOTP

aside from the obvious ones? maybe wh*terose??? i don't HATE it, i just don't really get it u know?

random headcanon

enby ruby,,,,,,, also maybe she builds lego too

unpopular opinion

i don't listen to anyone ever so i don't know what's unpopular but uhhhhhh,,,,,, i guess i'm not crazy about people desperately searching for a pairing for her??? as much as i love nnd, i'd much rather ruby have ruby stay single through the show because i just feel like it makes more sense re: her character

also some of the pairings ppl think up are SO bad

song i associate with them

over the line - state champs,,,,,,, i cannot explain it, it just IS

favorite picture of them

her fucking SMUG face when she fell off the bridge i love it

Weiss:

favorite thing about them

man just like,,,,,,, so much,,,,,,, her dedication to PEOPLE in particular is so beautiful. she grew up with not a lot of love expressed freely and so the way she treats the people in her life now that she's grown and found safety is so endearing because she handles everyone with such care

least favorite thing about them

the fact that they haven't given her a dramatic anime protag haircut yet

favorite line

"i don't know loneliness like you do, i have my own version"

had to stop and absorb that one the first time i heard it,,,,,,, oof

brOTP

freezerburn babeyyyyyyyyyyyyy

OTP

favorite picture of them

it's just a really beautifully animated scene

also when u realize that's pyrrha spear it gets way sadder ok bye

Blake:

favorite thing about them

might honestly die trying to answer this because, as much as i don't talk about her indvidually, she's SUCH an excellent character,,,,,,, i think her dedication to her friends and her ability to read emotions is really wonderful and always so refreshing

least favorite thing about them

no kiss yang yet >:(

jk maybe how type b she's become? i'd like to see her take some more leadership roles in the upcoming seasons rather than just kinda going with the flow, because she's a good leader and that should be a plot device that's utilized more

favorite line

"but that's just it... they're only a part of you. don't forget about the rest"

i just love it so much

brOTP

ladybug,,,,,, i LOVE ladybug

OTP

don't have one 😔 wish i did tho :(

random headcanon

blake is an online shopper and has to be controlled by the team because she spends too much on the daily

unpopular opinion

song i associate with them

it's gonna be okay, baby - MUNA,,,,,,, just listen to it and agree with me thanks

favorite picture of them

bestie that's GAY

Yang:

favorite thing about them

GOD,,,,,, i latched onto her so quickly so this is hard but uhhhhh, i love that she effortlessly switches between team mom and team child depending on what role she needs to play at the time,,,,, i think that flexibility makes her the biggest team player in the show (which is all about teams so that's saying something)

least favorite thing about them

how her passion is sometimes seen as straight up brashness or naivety,,,,, i think she's not always the best communicator so it can seem like she's not thinking at times even though she's very methodical

favorite line

"if there's a chance of reward money, i say we go for it"

not my FAVOURITE favourite, but i love that she was willing to sell weiss at the drop of a hat

brOTP

either freezerburn or her and coco

OTP

again,,,,,, wish i had one 😞

nOTP

her and any man,,,,,,, also what i listed above

random headcanon

summer used to do her hair for her which is why she's so sensitive about people touching it now

“suggestion: dare some/all of them to have a fight, weapons n all. the two who lose have to go on a date - and plan it on the spot >:3” - from @pastel-candies

Ruby, Ember Celica on her arms: Okay gang, uhh...let’s do some sparring!

Yang, Myrtenaster propped on her shoulder: Careful with those, sis.

Ruby: I won’t damage them, I promise!

Yang: I’m more worried about them damaging you.

Weiss: Speak for yourself, I’m fearing for Myrtenaster’s life seeing it in your hands, Yang.

Yang, chuckling: It’s so light! No wonder you don’t have any upper body strength.

Weiss: I’d argue with you if you weren’t right...uhh, you doing alright, Velvet?

Velvet, struggling to lift Crescent Rose off the ground: Just peachy...Ruby, how do you even carry this thing around?

Nora: You’ve never seen Ruby’s arms, have you, Velvet?

Ruby: It’s actually more core strength than anything. *chuckles*

Velvet, blushing: Right. Core strength. *tries to lift the scythe* I guess I need to do more crunches.

Coco: Then we should go to the gym together more often.

Ruby: Yeah, I could come, too!

Velvet: I would like that.

Weiss: Could...I come???

Yang: This is a lot of flirting for a bunch of people about to fight one another.

Weiss: I’m not flirting!

Velvet, still struggling to lift Crescent Rose: For Grimm’s sake...

Coco: Wanna trade?

Velvet: Maybe. What weapon do you have?

Coco, holding up a wristwatch: Ciel’s. I think?

Velvet: That’s a weapon? What’s it do?

Ciel, rubbing the back of her neck: It’s a secret.

Yang, elbowing her: Trying to get an advantage at the Vytal Tournament, huh Ciel?

Ciel: N-No! I mean...maybe.

Velvet, putting the watch on her wrist: At least it’s cute. And light.

Coco, lifting Crescent Rose with ease: Oh fuck yes, I’ve always wanted to give this baby a spin.

Ruby: Just be gentle with her!

Yang: Alright, ladies and enbies, who’s ready to fight?!

Everyone: *uncertain cheering*

Yang: Good enough, let’s go!

Later, at the Beacon training arena...

Emerald, armed with Gambol Shroud: This is so fucking cool! *leaps in the air and slashes at Nora*

Nora, waving around Neo’s parasol wildly: How is this even a weapon? *gets knocked back by Emerald* Gah!

Neo, in the stands with the others: Should I have told her about the hidden blade?

Cinder: I don’t think that would have made a difference.

Penny, blowing an air horn: *WEEERRRRN*

Nora: Huh?

Penny, wearing a zebra-striped referee shirt over her dress: Nora’s Aura has reached a critically low level. I declare Emerald the winner of this bout.

Emerald: Yes!

Nora: Hey, I could have kept going!

Penny: I am sorry, Nora, but you failed to land even a single blow on Emerald.

Nora: I came close, though, right?

Penny, thinking about it: In a way, yes. However, Emerald took no damage.

Emerald: Haha! I am the reigning champion! Who shall challenge me next?

Nora: Who made Penny the referee, anyway?

Penny: I cannot trade my weapons with anyone since they are attached to me, so I figured it would only be fair to officiate. Plus, I can monitor everyone’s Aura simultaneously, so I am very well suited to the position.

Nora: Well that answers that. *sulks away* Stupid fancy umbrella.

Neo, standing and signing at her meticulously: Parasol. Par-a-sol.

Nora: I know, I know!

Penny: Who is next to spar with Emerald?

Everyone: ...

Emerald: My self esteem has never been this high, holy shit...

Blake: I’ll go. *stands up with Pyrrha’s spear and shield in hand*

Penny: Ohh, to face off against the wielder of their own weapon, very interesting!

Emerald: You think you can challenge me, Belladonna?

Blake, stepping down into the arena: I think so. I know that weapon better than you do, after all.

Penny: Fighters ready?

Emerald: Oh yeah.

Blake: *nods*

Penny: Fight!

Emerald: *charges at Blake with both blades*

Blake: *snags the ribbon of Gambol Shroud with their spear, ripping both blades from Emerald’s hands, leaving her unarmed*

Emerald, standing and staring at her empty hands: Oh.

Blake, smirking as they wrapped the ribbon around their own wrist: You’re simply not experienced enough weilding a tethered weapon, at least not something as precise and delicate as mine.

Emerald: Uhh, okay, hand-to-hand, let’s go!

Blake: I beat you already, tho.

Emerald: But my championship title!

Blake: This isn’t boxing.

Emerald: But...I must defend my hon—wha! *gets tripped by Blake’s ribbon and falls down*

Blake, smirking down at her: Admit defeat.

Emerald: Never!

Blake: Then get up and fight!

Emerald: I’m too busy enjoying the view. *wink*

Blake: Oh gods. *rolls their eyes and drops Pyrrha’s shield onto her chest*

Emerald: Wait! *is squished* Agh!

Yang, watching on: Gods I wish that were me.

Everyone else: We know.

Penny: I suppose this means since Emerald and Nora were the last to lose, they must now plan a date?

Emerald: Nice... *shoves the shield off her body, then lies on the ground lazily* Spa day. Let’s go to the spa, huh Nora?

Nora: Sounds cool, let’s do it.

Emerald: Nice.

Blake: Wait, so what do I get for winning?

Weiss: You get to help me fix the damage Yang did to Myrtenaster.

Yang: C’mon, It’s just a tiny chip.

Weiss: Tiny? The blade weight is all off now!

Yang: By a gram maybe.

Weiss: More like at least two grams! It feels like holding a tree branch, it’s so unbalanced!

Yang: You’re so dramatic.

Weiss: Is it dramatic to consider that the damage done to my weapon could one day cost me a fight? That the very lives of my friends could rely on my weapon being in perfect condition, with all the world hanging in the balance?

Yang: Yes, that’s very dramatic.

Weiss: Then FUCK YES, I’M DRAMATIC!

Nora: Geez, I think Weiss needs a spa day more than I do.

Weiss, timidly: Yes please...

On Thin Ice - pt. 4

You see when I took the break. I got a lot of energy to work on this again so here we have it much earlier than normal. WOW productivity plus I stopped listening during English classes and in Finland, it's just learning words that I already know. Also, I'm trying the new post editor so I don't know how this will go.

Pt. 1 - Masterlist - Next

CW: Mentions of torture, Colby's thoughts, Ellie's cat threatening Rosa. Please tell me if I have to add more ^^

Taglist: @whoopsalittlewhumpy, @cupcakes-and-pain, @uncooly-supreme-whump, @thegreathowdini

Kevin sighed in relief when the doorbell finally rang. Ellie was here to help him. He was so lost with everything and finally, he’d have someone who knew what they were doing. He gently woke up Colby who’d curled up at the opposite end of the couch clinging to a blanket he’d given to him.

He smiled at the memory of how amazed and grateful Colby had looked when he’d been given the blanket. He’d treated it like a prized treasure that shouldn’t even be given to him. It broke his heart, but it also made him want to protect Colby more.

The doorbell rang again, and Kevin rushed to the door, glad to see it really was Ellie. He did have someone he didn’t recognize with him, but it didn’t matter. He smiled letting them both in.

“Thanks for coming. I’ve been completely lost this whole time” Kevin said as Ellie smiled warmly not judging him at all as the man behind her scoffed, but it was quickly quieted by Ellie nudging him with her elbow.

“You still did well, since he seems to be doing decently” Ellie said gesturing towards Colby who was watching them warily.

“I hope you don’t mind that Blake came too” Ellie asked pointing to the man behind him who just nodded at Kevin. He awkwardly nodded back, something made him uneasy around Blake.

“Do you mind if I go catch up with the kid while you talk?” Blake asked his face twisting with worry. “He looks more uncertain than normal”

“Wait you know him?” Kevin asked tensely when as Blake chuckled his appearance subtly changing into all too familiar villain that had disappeared years ago. He watched silently as Mimic just looked back at him clearly enjoying the surprise.

“Well, yes. I’m a retired villain after all” He said smugly as Ellie smiled fondly, before ruffling Blake’s hair as the retired villain turned all red and looked away. Kevin just watched in a mix of surprise and fear. It did explain why she was so willing to help Colby.

“You’re always such a dramatic cat but I’m sure Colby could use a familiar face” Ellie said, before turning to Kevin who just looked at him in slight confusion.

“I know Blake is a bit surprising, but I’ll teach you how to properly take care of injuries since copying from TV shows is honestly a terrible idea. They’re wildly inaccurate. Like seriously who forgets chest compressions! That’s like the most important part!”

“Yeah, sorry… Let’s go into the kitchen to talk” Kevin said awkwardly as Ellie just smiled.

“Don’t worry not everyone is a doctor but NEVER attempt to do anything without proper knowhow especially with medicine. Text me or google it before doing anything”

Kevin just nodded continuing on. He hadn’t expected that

Colby watched in surprise as the man who’d come along with Miss Doctor had been Mimic. He’d disappeared years back and never reappeared. He’d worked together with him a few times and he was always surprisingly nice for a hired killer. It was relieving to see Mimic doing well. At least he hadn’t been caught.

“Hey, kid” Mimic said sitting next to him, Colby beamed at the old nickname.

“I’m sorry you had to go through that” Mimic mumbled awkwardly scratching the back of his head as Colby watched smiling softly. It was reassuring to have someone you knew around. Mimic had taught him a lot back then, but he’d never been the best at showing how he felt. They sat there in silence for a long time before Mimic continued.

“I know you’ll have a hard time, but I promise you don’t have to worry about Ellie. She’s really nice and doesn’t judge. It’s the reason I married her actually” Mimic said softly being all awkward as Colby chuckled at it.

“It’s fine. I know I deserved it”

Mimic smiled sadly at that. “Yeah, we’ve done fucked up things but you’re a kid. You shouldn’t think like that”

“You do know I’m 23, right? You’re ancient if you think that”

“Hey, I’m only 30, that makes me young enough” Mimic said pouting as Ellie laughed at Colby’s comment walking from the kitchen. Mimic ruffled his hair before getting up and finding a wall to lean against as Ellie sat next to him.

Colby watched as Mimic zeroed in on Kevin and threw a hand around his shoulder, taking him into the kitchen. Ellie shook his head smiling fondly before turning to him.

“Nice to meet you, Colby. I’m Ellie Walker” She said with a smile as Colby watched meekly before nodding. Ellie seemed nice enough. Mimic trusted her so she should be nice.

“I know you’re a bit nervous so how about we make a deal” Colby tilted his head curiously. No one had really made deals with him before, so it felt strange.

“Blake told me you liked chocolate so I brought some with me” She said taking out so much chocolate that he couldn’t even believe it. “You can have it all if you promise to be honest with me. If something hurts or feels slightly off you tell me, alright?” Colby nodded enthusiastically.

“Of course, it was her! Kevin Mills and Rosa Mills. No wonder you got Colby out without getting killed. Your psychopathic sister did this to him. Fuck that bitch for torturing a child! Even I’ve never hurt a kid” Blake said storming out the kitchen as Colby tensed in fear.

“I’m going to stab her”

“No stabbing” Ellie said making him freeze, before turning to her.

“what about a non-lethal poke?”

“That’s the same thing but look at what you’ve done. Colby is terrified right now” Blake turned to look at her before flinching as soon as he saw Colby looking at him in fear.

“Sorry, I think I’m just gonna sit in the car for a while. To uh- calm down” Blake explained awkwardly as Ellie smiled softly before shaking her head.

“I know you’re worried about Colby but that’s not the greatest way to show it” Blake nodded as Ellie seemed so understanding and kind. Colby’s eyes widened. Alaric would’ve been mad, very mad but she just calmly explained it!

“How about you help Kevin understand Colby better? You’ve known him the longest” Blake nodded quietly turning to Kevin as he just shrugged walking into the kitchen.

Ellie smiled at Colby sitting back down. “Sorry about his outburst. He cares about you but as you probably know he’s bad at showing how he feels”

“I know.” Colby said softly “You’re really nice, you know that right?” He piped up as Ellie smiled warmly. This would help him get back to Alaric.

“You’re really nice too. So where does it hurt?” Ellie smiled warmly and Colby just could feel himself melting. She just- she just was so nice. He just watched as she waited and waited. Shit, he needed to tell her!

“Everywhere but mostly my right ankle. I can’t walk because it refuses to work with me” He said in a hurry hoping Ellie wasn’t mad. He’d wasted time and- he shuddered at the memory of how it led to- Don’t think it, don’t think it. Just focus on the current event.

“I see, can I take a look?” Colby nodded without hesitation closing his eyes hoping it would just be over. Ellie kept poking and prodding as he answered questions and she did doctor things. He didn’t know anything about medicine, and it didn’t bother him. Mimic trusted her so he could trust her too.

She moved to inspecting the injuries and taking care of them. He kept answering the questions she asked but they didn’t make much sense to him. He just answered truthfully since it probably would help him get to Alaric faster.

“There you go” She said finishing the last bandage Colby watched her curiously “And here as we agreed the chocolate is all yours” Ellie said as she pushed the chocolate to him. He smiled gathering it all up and hiding it underneath his blanket.

“Hey, how are you doing?” Kevin asked as he walked in with Blake in tow who immediately found a wall to lean against as Ellie turned to them with a smile.

“We’re all done here Colby seems fine, but you need to clean the wounds regularly, so they don’t get infected and watch out for the sprained ankle” She stated packing up her stuff before pausing and turning to Colby.

“Mostly I’m concerned how the welts on your soles didn’t bother you. It would explain why you couldn’t walk when combined with the ankle” Ellie said as Colby’s eyes widened as he flinched. Kevin bit his lip in worry. He should’ve noticed!

“Sorry. I didn’t think it was that serious. It was just that one time I tried to escape and I- I learned my lesson” He muttered softly as he fiddled with the hem of the shirt Kevin had lent to him.

“Please don’t take the chocolate. I really want to keep it” Colby said softly, sounding panicked, but Ellie just ruffled his hair with a smile.

“It’s fine you’ve earned it” She looked at the clock before smiling, quickly packing a bunch of stuff, handing Blake the stuff she’d packed.

“We sadly need to get going” She said getting up before wandering around for anything she might’ve forgotten before turning to Kevin.

“Kevin, memorize the stuff I wrote down for you. It’ll be better than constantly looking at the stuff” She said leaving as Blake smiled fondly at her antics, before following behind her.

Colby and Kevin just stayed there in silence before Kevin sat down next to him. Colby just carefully took two of the chocolate bars resting his head on Kevin’s shoulder nuzzling close. He handed Kevin one of the bars before beginning to eat his own.

He closed his eyes pulling the blanket up before melting in pure bliss. He liked these silent moments of comfort. Best of all Kevin had accepted the chocolate meaning he’d done well and didn’t have to worry about Kevin getting mad for a while.

[shera-dnd]

And here is the winner of the raffle. Right at the last possible fucking day.

This one was a blast to write tho, because I love me some Prismatic Ponytails

If you’d like your fic ideas to be written by me or just want to help me keep the lights on, consider donating to my ko-fi (rules over here)

There were two things that Ilia still struggled to get used to about her girlfriend; first was the fact that she had more money than the Gods, something she still had even after reforming the SDC from the ground up; second was the fact that she was very prone to extremely over the top displays of affection.

If Ilia had to guess it probably had something to do with the fact that she got exactly zero affection from her family as a kid, and now she’s aggressively overcompensating. Though she was Weiss’s girlfriend, not her therapist. Regardless of all that, Ilia was most definitely not prepared for what Weiss had planned for her own birthday.

She reserved the fanciest clothing store in all of Atlas, just so the two of them could try on clothes together in peace. No, correction there, so Ilia and only Ilia, could try on nice clothes. The poor girl had just started to get used to receiving gifts at all, and this...was just too much.

Ilia stepped out of the changing room wearing something she grabbed off of the ‘Summer Vacation’ section, which was the only explanation for why someone would ever buy something this light in freaking Atlas of all places. These clothes were also much more colorful than anything Ilia ever wore.

“I think this might be a bit too much,” Ilia commented.

“Don’t be silly,” Weiss countered, walking up to her, “the colors look wonderful on you. You should totally wear this next time we visit Menagerie.”

“Hun, you know what I meant,” Ilia replied.

“Hey, if I get to spoil you it’s never too much,” Weiss argued.

“Weiss, it’s your birthday,” she argued back, “shouldn’t we be spoiling you instead.”

She leaned in a little closer and broke into a smile, “well, I get to see my girlfriend in cute clothes. I think that’s spoiling enough for me.”

Ilia’s eyes and spots turned pink all at once with that comment.

“I-I guess you’re right,” she stammered, “pass me something else to try on.”

The next outfit was an extremely fancy black dress. The kind of stuff made for gallas and other rich people parties. She’d probably have to wear something of the sorts next time Weiss got invited to one of those parties, since as her girlfriend she became a fancy rich person by proxy.

Gods, that was a weird thought to have.

“This is kind of uncomfortable,” she mentioned as she stepped out of the changing room once more.

“Yeah, I think you should leave the dresses to me,” Weiss agreed, “what you need is a nice suit and vest.”

Weiss turned to go look for something that would look good on Ilia - which as far she was concerned was everything, but some things worked better than others - but not before she caught her girlfriend awkwardly fidgeting.

“Unless you mean…” She trailed off, “all of this is uncomfortable.”

“I’m sorry Weiss,” Ilia apologized, her skin changing to a deep blue.

“No, no, I should be the one apologizing,” Weiss replied, walking back up to Ilia and taking her hands, “I got carried away, and I didn’t check if you were okay with this. You shouldn’t have to play along with this stuff just because it’s my birthday.”

Ilia gave Weiss’s hands a squeeze and leaned closer, touching her girlfriend’s forehead with her own. The blue slowly fading away from her skin, “hey, if it makes you happy, then I don’t mind.”

“Except you very clearly do,” Weiss insisted, squeezing back in return, “I don’t wanna force you to do something just for me.”

Ilia seemed to ponder it for a moment, before asking, “are you still dead set on spoiling me with cute clothes?”

“Only if you’re comfortable with it,” she answered.

“Then I think I have an idea.”

~~~

The thrift store Ilia took her to wasn’t as clean, or as large as the clothing store they had just been in, and since it hadn’t been reserved ahead of time that meant they’d spend the next few hours just awkwardly bumping into people. Neither of those things seemed to lessen Weiss’s enthusiasm even the slightest bit.

She rushed in with the same joy as a child let loose in a toy store, or Blake let loose in a library, or Ruby let loose in an arsenal. Either way it looked like Weiss was thoroughly enjoying herself.

Next thing Ilia knew she was being shoved into one of the changing rooms along with a huge pile of clothes Weiss had selected for her. Weiss had obviously set them in little outfits she wanted Ilia to try out, but she had other plans.

When Ilia emerged again she was wearing the gaudiest, most mismatched outfit she could come up with. Its unique color vomit look was not helped by the fact that Ilia decided to change her own colors to match it. It was so wonderfully awful, that Weiss couldn’t keep herself from bursting out laughing.

“Mocked by my own girlfriend,” Ilia declared, forcing herself to shift blue as she over dramatically leaned against a nearby wall, as if she had nearly fallen over from shock, “oh, how will I survive this betrayal?”

It took a moment for Weiss to recover from her fits of laughter, but when she finally managed to, she walked up to Ilia and adjusted that gaudy outfit again.

“You know, this is the ugliest look I’ve ever seen,” she mentioned, playfully shaking her head, “but I think you make it work.”

False blues were replaced by happy yellows and loving pinks as Ilia giggled in response, “so you’re saying we’re buying it?”

“Only if you promise to wear this to the next party we get invited to,” Weiss offered.

She couldn’t wait to see the look on all those rich assholes’ faces.

“Deal!” Ilia replied, with far too much enthusiasm.

They stayed a little longer, trying on all sorts of stuff. By the time they left they had bought a few more clothes for Ilia - including some beach wear for when they visited Menagerie - and even a cute little stay at home look for Weiss. Ilia of course insisted on wearing that ugly outfit on her way out.

“So how about we get back to the manor, so you can get your actual gift?” Ilia asked.

“I thought this day together was the gift,” Weiss replied, a bit confused.

Ilia only shook her head, “no, that was getting the gift wrapping. When we get home you’re gonna have to open it.”

It took Weiss’s mind a moment to register what that meant.

“Oh,” the sound escaped her, “oh!”

They hastily made their way back home.

rwby julie and the phantoms au featuring dead girl band rwby and jaune as the conduit. but like, jaune who just half-way cheated his way into music school

the year is 1995 and the girl band RWBY is a rising power in the indie music world. composed of four talented, each with a rich and interesting backstory for the public to latch onto, they’re well on their way to becoming LGBT icons- if not actual stars. weiss, blake, and yang are twenty and ruby is eighteen.

weiss schnee is the daughter of silicone valley tycoon jacques schnee, who made headlines when she cut off all her hair and ran away from home to join a queer girl band. she’s the second schnee daughter to leave home, winter having joined the military back in 1992. she’s the band’s lead vocalist, though she occasionally plays violin in tracks that they write it into.

blake belladonna is already a famous singer. she sprung onto the scene in 1992 in a duo known as “bellataurus”. acting as the full sonny and cher package, adam taurus served as both older boyfriend and older manager until blake broke from him and helped to form RWBY in 1994. she took her vocals, her piano skills, GUITAR skills, and her songwriting skills with her.

yang xiao long and ruby rose are legacies of the highest order. summer, raven, qrow, and tai formed a band when they were kids and they became some of the biggest rockstars of the seventies and eighties- and later some of the biggest scandals. raven and tai’s messy, public breakup after the birth of their daughter signaled the band’s death- but then the birth of tai and SUMMER’S child signaled an even bigger scandal. the tabloids had an absolute field day over the new baby.

yang learned lots of instruments, but mainly took up the drums from her dad. the same went for ruby, but she mainly stole qrow’s guitar and made him teach her to shred.

unfortunately, the media never stopped following the two kids around, even through ruby’s transition. in a mixed bag for the remnants of STRQ and their children, the media circus that followed ruby rose coming out as a girl in NINETEEN NINETY TWO. the remaining members of STRQ still had a lot of clout and fully put their support behind her, but transmisognyny’s a bitch and it still followed them everywhere. yang coming out publicly as a lesbian neither helped nor hindered the situation, but it did make ruby feel a bit less alone.

the girls formed their band about a year before their- uh, UNTIMELY deaths in 1995. this came 3 days after a confrontation between blake and adam, where she promised that she would never, EVER date him again. she wouldn’t even work with him again. she and her band were going to become stars and actually help make social changes, instead of them just bullying her into going along with whatever THEY want from her and keeping her mouth shut because politics kills careers. 

they’re playing the ORPHEUM! the theater where so many bands have gotten their big break! she doesn’t need him now and she didn’t need him then.

eating bad street hot dogs after the warm up for a performance that blake promised adam 3 days ago would be the best that she ever gave- well. that’s just a weird coincidence, right?

cue 2020.

jaune arc has recently gotten into his first semester at a prestigious music college in the LA area, close to his family’s home where he still lives. the garage/studio out back remains largely untouched. half of that’s because cleaning the place out would be a lot of work, but half of it’s because his parents feel bad about the idea of cleaning out all of STRQ’s old recording equipment that both summer and tai promised they “didn’t want anymore” while selling the house in the wake of their daughters’ deaths. 

it’s not like the area is really suitable as a garage, and the arcs can spare a little room just in case those people ever change their minds.. even though they haven’t in twenty five years.

jaune’s house isn’t completely empty because he still has one of his older sisters going to college in LA at the same time, but it’s preeetttyy empty. his parents are hands off at this point and don’t even wonder how their baby who never even took any music lessons has gotten into a school like this.

it’s not like he doesn’t sing and sing pretty well, but they’re not even certain he can read music. spoiler alert: he can’t.

jaune is actually VERY good at working by ear and performing, but his music education growing up was lacking. on all levels. his parents encouraged him to do sports as his primary activity and he had no time for anything else and his public school music ed did not get him what he needed to go to music school.

frankly, he doesn’t even know what a treble clef is called. so. he’s a bit behind when going into his college classes. he was only able to fake the paperwork to get into music theory II, but considering that he’s. uh, completely unaware of what those notes mean he’s a bit fucked.

he’s always just been able to pull the song out of his ass because he listened to enough music to learn stuff by ear, but now he’s supposed to work through all this stuff with notation and he MIGHT BE DYING

he’s assigned to a group project with ren and nora and pyrrha and, well, thank god pyrrha notices and is kind enough to try to fill in the cracks.

but there’s a lot of cracks, you know? he’s barely pulling the grades that he needs to not get kicked out of the program at the moment, and he’s not entirely sure how to go about getting an accompanist for his end of semester showcase and ren and nora are already working together (they both play guitar and sing together) and pyrrha’s a soloist and -

oh god, he’s going to get kicked out of this program, isn’t he?

pyrrha keeps talking him down out of the anxiety because she is very kind and has a very big crush because jaune still has noticed that she’s a pop star that wanted to (but is failing to) have a normal college experience.

she lets him borrow her copy of RWBY’s first and only album and lets him take it home to listen to it. he decides to listen to it in the studio because he knows that’s where music, at one point, happened.

and it of course summons the souls of all four girls. they have ghostly mischief as they try to figure out how to make things work, and realize that while people who aren’t jaune can’t see them- people can HEAR THEM. and then when they play along with jaune for his end of semester show case- they realize that people can SEE THEM when they play with him.

pyrrha is confused about why jaune’s hologram band looks so much like RWBY, and she’s a little jealous and hurt that he’s been keeping this from her while letting HER bear the brunt of helping him with his struggles. jaune doesn’t know how to say that yeah, those are the actual ghosts of RWBY.

petty drama, petty drama, the girls are feeling suffocated by the fact that they’re actually dead and can’t interact with anyone who’s alive. ruby decides to go clear her head and meets another, very sweet and enthusiastic ghost named penny who likes to skateboard. 

penny is very sweet and ruby has what is known in show biz as a CRUSH. ruby learns a bit about how this ghost stuff works from her (some powers, about the unfinished business being what’s tying them to the land of the living, that she is VERY GAY) and she comes back to her friends to say hello yes i know things now and am also gay. wasn’t positive about that before but it’s a fact now

here’s where i lose my thread and am too tired to find it again but other things

1. ironwood is the villain of this. if you’re familiar with jatp, he serves the same function as caleb covington if not the exact same motives. he seals souls to him by a contract but with the express purpose of building a safe afterlife for ghosts... by making sure that all of them are under his control. winter, who died in one of the united state’s middle eastern campaigns is his right hand ghost. 

weiss is majorly conflicted by this because. it’s winter, you know? it’s winter. and it seems like this guy is trying to make things better for ghosts, right? he’s got a homebase and he can make them visible sometimes and make it so they can eat food and lots of stuff. but it comes with a heavy level of control. 

he doesn’t go after the girls until later because he thinks that they’ll come back, but when he DOES... the fact that he owns penny’s soul and doesn’t see her or any of the souls under his control as full people comes up in an ugly way.

2. adam taurus is the trevor wilson of this, but waaaayyy worse. he did in fact kill the girls and pillaged what he could of blake’s songs to record and put out under his own name. he‘s a big star, but a fading one, and he has a few vengeful ghost coming for him.

3. winter is a ghost, but whitley is a ghost of himself. at this point he’s forty and still doesn’t even know what he wants because he’s molded himself into what his dad wants so thoroughly. getting him to realize that he wants more and wants things for himself definitely comes up. winter also helps take down ironwood and free the souls. eventually

4. jaune IS a necromancer. he’s going to be able to see penny and others and eventually can give ghosts the power they need to be seen whenever they want. RWBYJNPR eventually becomes a big band that plays together sometimes

5. raven only came back for a few days for yang and ruby’s funeral before disappearing. qrow fell from grace quite dramatically when he accused adam taurus of murder with no evidence and became the laughing stock of america. he kept trying to find something that would fill the holes in his life, but he hasn’t lucked out with that yet... except the alcoholism, maybe.

tai and summer are still together, but they’re pretty miserable and they moved far away from LA to get out of the spotlight.

RWBY gets summer, tai, and qrow back together on purpose... and raven shows up when she sees her dead daughter singing on national television. the STRQ reunion is awkward and stilted, but things get better from there.

strq instruments

summer: vocalist with some piano

raven and qrow: bass and standard guitar respectively with some vocals

tai: drummer with some vocals

6. pyrrha and jaune eventually actually become the great duo that adam tried to market himself and blake as. sorry not sorry

7. not sure how they do it but they DO prove that adam murdered them and all of them including qrow get Vindication TM

8. the bumbleby isn’t a big plot point but they were dancing around getting together when they died and it happens slowly once they’re back <3

4. ace of spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

this was the book club pick for sept for the crusty book club! you can find the review here. i will never be able to put all my thoughts into coherent sentences rjfsdnlc. 5 stars it was!

5. with the fire on high by elizabeth acevedo

rating: ⭐⭐⭐.75

so this book follows a teen mom in high school who has a passion for cooking and aspires to be a chef. the audiobook is fantastic ! it is narrated by the author herself and it's just *chef's kiss* this was my first book from this author and i will be checking out the others soon! (also i heard that the author narrates almost all her books so 👀)

6. the black veins by ashia monet

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

this was the book club pick for the vintage books and wine book club. i, for one, DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS BOOK ISN'T TALKED ABOUT MORE. this book, is so good. like so gooooooodd !!

i need everyone to pick this up asap and fall in love with the found family aspect like 🛐 please.

this is book is about blythe, a sixteen year old guardian out of the 7 guardians. it is magical realism, found family trope, absolutely fucking loveable characters. i am adopting caspian and antonio (yes wylan, you're getting sibs). i cannot wait to discuss this book and omg pls just read it okay?

7. how we fall apart by katie zhao

rating: ⭐⭐

sigh this book was one of my most anticipated releases of 2021. the premise sounded so good. but it, unfortunately, did not work out for me. listen, it started off great-- the setting is slightly disturbing like you know something is off but you can't put your finger on it sorta vibes but as it continued it was-- no.

the "plot twist" at the end? i like to predict while reading mystery/thrillers and this was the kinda plot twist with like the culprit being the twin we never know existed and stuff (not a spoiler, just an example) like there was no freaking way the reader could have even thought that that person was the culprit. the characters were just flat.

i wish this book had been longer and the motives of the 4 were explored more but to conclude: this book wasn't it for me but if it intrigues you, maybe give it a try!

8. the atlas six by olivie blake

rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

im just going to paste my goodreads review here cause it's past 12am and im tired ---

this was a buddy read (•ᴗ•) woohooo !! i have mixed feelings about this book. i definitely think i would like it more if i were to reread it. the very last portion of the book, i did not understand very well. there was so many things told to the reader that i was just like "huh" all the characters were fascinating to read about. i, obviously, had a fav and a least fav within the povs and characters. Libby and reina were my favs and Callum (oh Callum) was my least favorite the pacing was odd-- it did get better towards the end but still... odd. the philosophical theories and thoughts got pretty repetitive and it kinda made everything weird...? when i was reading it, it was kinda annoying how many times i would think about how much i would have enjoyed this book more if it had an editor. there were some things that didn't make sense. minor spoilers ahead for ex: there's a chapter in libby's pov and it ends with "tristan didn't move until after she was gone". how? how do we know that? that tristan didn't move after she was gone if we're reading from libby's pov? i really liked how the romance wasn't obvious. i was shipping two characters in the beginning and towards the end, i was shipping the same two characters with different people? if that makes any sense. the magic system.... is vague. i was--still am confused about how it works? i wish stuff had been described better. that brings me to: i heard this author's books are going to be published through v.e schwab's publishing company(?) and i'm looking forward to the edited version of her books. the book tries to be intelligent. and i can't say it actually ends up being intelligent. again, i wish stuff was described better. haha now i'm being repetitive--ironic.

im just gonna leave this here and might come back in the morning to edit this haha.

meme break: (more like pun break but oh well xD)

8. everything i never told you by celeste ng

this was a dnf so pretty bummed about that :/ i just wish tws and cws were properly mentioned. dnf at 50% please read all the tws before starting this here i started this on a whim just because i had heard a lot of things about it and while i did check the tws, the website i used did not mention one that i'm often bothered by and... that did not end well.

9. everyone's an aliebn when ur an aliebn too by jomny sun

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

this is such a cute read!! i don't have a lot of things to say but i enjoyed it a lot [><]b

10. if we were villains by m.l rio

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

this was the book club pick for the late night book club! this is eerie atmosphere + shakespeare + complicated relationships + murder. a perfect read for 2 am (i totally did not read it all through the night). this book follows our main character right after he is out of the prison and is met with the police officer who is super curious to know who exactly committed the murder and claims to know that our mc covered it up. and so, our theatre actor of an mc narrates the story in the form of a play. there are acts and scenes and a shit ton of shakespeare references.

an absolute classic, i'd argue, which fits perfectly into the dark academia category. i devoured this book in 7 or so hours and yes, it was read during the readathon xD. the pacing was a bit odd at times and i wish all the characters were shed light on equally but other than that, this book is amazing. i did figure out who would be killed and who killed them but the ride was so enjoyable, i had to give it a 4 star.

11. fangs by sarah andersen

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

my god this is such a cute graphic novel?! i read on tapas and you can find that here. it is about a vampire who falls in love with a werewolf and just follows bits and pieces of their lives and it was the cutest things i've ever read.

12. a house in the cerulean sea by t.j clune

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

this was supposed to be the book club read for the late night book club for the month of may but then the controversy happened and the liveshow was cancelled and the very bored, stuck on page 160 self put it down. i picked it up again in oct because i needed a physical book to read in school and because i read most of my books in their digital form, this was literally my only hope erdbg. i started enjoying it a lot more and sorta realised that i wasn't really in the mood for fantasy read back then haha. it was cute and fun while it lasted and maybe i'll pick up his other book. idk

13. a dowry of blood by s.t. gibson

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

LOVED THIS!! this is a retelling of dracula's wives and polyamorous and queer and just a-may-zing. our main character is unnamed and is referred to by the name her love interest aka dracula gave her and it is like addressed? in a way? to dracula himself. i read the audiobook. highly recommend. ALSO IT IS A NOVELLA SO HOW THE FUCK WAS SO MUCH FIT IN THERE IDK.

14. sheets by Brenna Thummler

rating: ⭐⭐⭐

it was cute. might pick up the next one but idk. art style is stunning tho.

15. the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood

rating: A WHOPPING 5 STARS WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT ME TO RATE THIS SHIT??

IM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT THE SYNOPSIS INTO COHERENT WORDS BUT JUST READ THIS SHIT OH MY FUCKING GOD IT MADE ME SCREAM OUT LOUD LIKE A CRAZY PERSON AT 11:30 PM CAUSE I HAD TO FINISH THIS FOR A READATHON.

[spahhzy]

"Oh if your here then that must have meant...you failed, oh well I guess we can just start again"

"I can fill you in on the details I guess while we wait for the rest of the group"

"no no! sit down! We are going to be here for awhile! Look I even have it book marked! Now sit, grab a cup of coffee or whatever it is your kind drinks and relax"

.

.

.

"How are they doing?" Asked qrow as he took a swig from his flask. The question given to the eldest schnee, Winter.

"If by 'They' you mean the team of Oscar, Nora, Ren and your niece Ruby physically they are all healed...no long lasting damage after the mission but mentally..." Winter trailed off not looking up from her paperwork.

Qrow sighed before taking another sip from his flask, this was all one big fucked up headache.

"If you insist on drinking could you please do so away from here..." Winter said to him to which qrow just looked at her before capping the flask and walking out of the office without so much a rebuttal.

Once the door closed, Winter let out a frustrated sigh before slamming her fist onto her desk.

.

-WBY- Vacuo general Hospital.

The room was quiet. all three girls laid on their respective beds both thinking and reflecting on the days that had passed.

It wasn't long until Blake spoke out.

"So...now what do we do?"

Ah yes what do they do indeed.

"I...I don't know" came Weiss as she too didn't know the answer to that question.

"We can't just sit here and do nothing!" Came the frustrated voice of Yang.

"In case you forgot Yang...we got outclassed and outmatched by Salem I'm not sure their is anything we can do right now" Spoke Weiss to which Yang just grabbed her pillow in frustration.

Silence fell over them again.

"How...how is Ruby?" Weiss asked to the older sister.

Yang just looked at Weiss and Blake and just shook her head.

"She's asleep; she was taking it pretty badly"

The fall of Atlas, Ironwood's desperate actions (some would disagree), and now this...

.

Ruby's hospital room.

Ren, Nora and Oscar all looked like a mess.

All three were sitting in chairs bandaged and bruised but all staring at the sleeping form of one Ruby Rose.

"What changed for things to be like this?" Spoke Ren while voicing his thoughts the question was mainly for Ozpin.

Oscar remained silent.

"He started acting differently back at the Schnee manor when we rescued yiu from the whale" Ren said calmly eyes still on the sleeping Rose.

"Things came to a head in the desert after Cinders defeat" he stopped trying to relive that horrible memory.

"he was ready to carve her up and in his words 'slice her apart so he could expose her rotten innards so she can be judged for what she had become' that's not him, that's would never be him" Ren stated as Nora agreed.

Oscar remained quiet.

"Things blew apart more when I stopped him...I could feel his anger Ozpin, that hatred and when he told me to 'stand aside' that gaze he sent me..sent us?" Ren shivered at the memory.

"We got into a fight, as in fight-fight headmaster but he seemed to stop and freak out a bit before healing us and apologizing profusely" Nora said allowing Ren to follow up

"All that hate and anger...gone. as if it was never there and I realized we had our brother back"

"So if there is anything you need to say tell us now...please"

Oscar remained silent. Just staring at Ruby sleeping.

"Is that all you can do? Be silent!?"

Ren just clutched at the arm rest in anger.

"Ren please calm down maybe even headmaster doesn't know why she did what she did!"

Ren scoffed. A trait not usually found within the young man. He turned his head to face the boy.

"You know something... I can see the gears turning up their but you don't wanna say anything"

Oscar still remains silent.

"Damnit Ozpin tell us something, anything!" Ren all but pleaded to which Oscar said nothing.

Ren sighed before getting up and with Nora in tow left Ruby's room without another word.

Before leaving Nora turned and spoke "he was right not to trust you" and closed the door.

Leaving Oscar to just stare at the still form of Ruby as she slept before shifting his eyes to one object that was laying on her bed with her.

A broken Crocea Mors.

.

Ren punched the wall in frustration outside of the hospital leaving small cracks.

"Ren!"

" I'm fine Nora just.."

"Your mad...I know I am too, I really...really wanted to break his legs but it's Oscar legs too" Nora said before hugging him from behind.

"We'll get him back Ren" she said as Ren sighed.

"I know Nora...I just can't help-" he was interrupted by a sudden rumble in his scroll and a beep signifying a new message.

Oddly enough Nora's scroll beep as well.

With a sigh he and Nora pulled out their scrolls.

"Did you get a message as well?" Nora asked

Ren nodded.

It was a video from an unknown number.

The video being titled 'Have you heard the good news?'.

"Did you guys get a video message too?" Came the voice of Qrow as he walked towards them with his scroll out as well.

" Yes which if you got it...then I wonder if Weiss, Yang and Blake got it as well" Ren asked and Qrow rubbed his chin thinking.

"If they did then this couldn't be by random coincidence let's go to their room and find out" Qrow said to which Ren and Nora agreed.

The trio headed out to find the other three.

.

As the footsteps faded from the room Oscar, still looking at the sleeping form of Ruby, sighed.

'Why couldn't you tell Ren anything?'

'What would you want me to say?'

'Something just...something'

'Somethings are better left unsaid'

Oscar rolled his eyes, Ozpin was hiding something that much was clear.

His scroll went off.

He had received a video message from an unknown number.

Oscar opened the message and pressed play.

"Today....today is a wonderful day!" Oscar eyes widened at the voice it was...

"Yes its me Tyrian the ever faithful servant to our goddess!" He said dramatically hands spread out wide in stage like fashion.

"How is all of you by the way...and by you I mean those receiving this video hmm?" He asked tilting his head.

"Ah you must be fine physical wounds heal and such" Oscar just glared at the mad scorpion on the screen mocking him.

"How is Miss Rose? Hopefully not taking it too bad?" Again more mockery. What is the damn point of this video?

"Ahaha, enough I can guess your all pretty upset but why? Why be upset?...haven't you heard the good news?"

What good news can come from a psychopath who blindy follows the devil herself?

"Well before I can give the good news allow me to give you some bad news!" Suddenly a crude drawing of stick figures graced the right side of screen while one gracefully drawn person was on the left. The one on the left was undeniably Salem.

"My goddess has deemed you all , and by that I mean humanity and faunus alike,as disgusting bacteria; a bacteria that only infects and destroys!" Some of the stick figures Oscar noticed had some distinguishing features, 3 had capes, 1 had a yellow arm , 1 had a big gun, alot had animal traits and some had white hair and surrounded by money.

"So it with a heavy heart that I must tell you that you all will be released from this level of existence by the mercy of my mistress!" He said as he put a hand over his heart as if paying respects.

That was before a large crazed grin etched onto his face.

"Now with the bad news gone! It's time for the good news!" He all but squealed as he then held up another two pictures.

The one on the left was again a portrait of Salem her arms spread open, while the picture on the right was of four stick figures.

One figure with blonde hair in front of three others. The other three were on the ground defeated almost. One had black and a pink line in its hair, the other had a hammer and orange hair and the last the one closest to the blonde had a red cape.

"I knew their was a reason I found him so...interesting!" He said which made Oscar shudder.

"But did YOU know this Ozpin hmm?"

Did Ozpin know what?

" is that why you accepted him into Beacon and not the whole 'untapped potential' jargon you preached?" Tyrian question before long his face cam back to the screen.

" I've learned some very crucial information...information that makes me wonder who really is the good side in all of this" Tyrian said acting as if he was putting on his thinking cap before snapping his fingers.

"You really tried to keep him from her...and how far did you go to achieve that I wonder..."

Tyrian was rambling trying to rile Ozpin up, because Oscar could feel a slight tugging on his consciousness.

"But fate works in strange ways...you of all people should have learned that" he said before motioning to a big portrait of Salem.

"She dances and sings in the light, she lurks in the shadows and she always gets her way" the scene changes this time.

"I've berated you enough...I think I'd like a quick chat with those three closest to him"

Oscar looked away from the screen too the sleeping form of Ruby. Then back to the screen. If he got this video then possibly everyone did too.

"Too the Valkyrie, the Calm One, and to Miss Rose especially..." a dark grin marred his face.

"Your words mean nothing to him now!" He stated sinisterly before a series of pictures flashed on screen.

It was of a blonde haired man with striking deep blue eyes , his armour worn out and cracked and his shield discarded as he held a broken sword.

Another photo but this time it was a photo with a women banged up , bruised her cape in tatters and her eyes reflecting despair. She was in the background, on the ground arm outstretched trying to reach the blonde haired man in vain.

"Now he only hears...her truth"

Before finally one more photo appears and this time it makes Oscar's and in extension Ozpin's blood run cold.

It was a photo of the blonde man and a pale woman who had red eyes and black veins.

"No it can't be" this time it was Ozpin who spoke.

It was of Jaune Arc and Salem embracing.

"Now...he's home"

The video ended and remained on that image.

.

"This isn't right that's too far ahead! No this won't do! Stupid bookmark ugh"

"Well just have to start from the beginning my bad buddy!"

[Here we go, off to a bad start.]
