#that'd be hard

[deckof-dragons]

I once saw a post mentioning shipping City Council and Station Management and I thought it was a shitpost/crackship. I was wrong, it's canon. And you know, I'm here for it, I ship them too. They're a cute together. :)

#deck speaks #welcome to night vale #wtnv #city council/station management #do they have a ship name? #I don't know what it is if so #I'd do fanart but... yeah #that'd be hard #maybe I'll try as one of my halloween art pieces

In RWBY weapons are a part of a person, an extension of yourself, as Ruby puts it in V1. So, a weapon can say a lot about a person in how it appears and what it's used for.

Looking at Crescent Rose compared to our other main characters' weapons and it's immediately one that stands out from the size alone, it immediately draws our attention, it usually takes up the screen.

Like Ruby, it's striking, awe inspiring and larger than life. It's beautiful, resilient and strong, but evolves to be more adaptable during the Atlas Arc, when Ruby herself has to be more flexible and think outside the box, and her worldview is consistently challenged. It's also very easily the most intricate and complicated design, by her own admission:

"I guess I did go a little overboard in designing it..."

Which, while on the surface means it looks cool and flashy, it's also incredibly complex, just like Ruby.

And as we know from V9, a weapon like that would also be a heavy one to carry at all times too, and it weighs on her. Just like being "Ruby Rose" means to shoulder all the responsibilities and entanglements that come with being who she is, a huntress, a leader, a hero, a spark of hope and light who inspires others. In the end her resolve as a huntress and in who she is, and her purpose, is renewed and stronger than ever before, and wields her weapon once more with confidence.

That doesn't mean her burdens have gotten any lighter though, in fact upon returning to Vacuo, because of her message, all of humanity is now looking to her. No matter how strong, confident and resolved she is, that's a heavy weight for one person to carry alone.

Which brings me to Oscar's weapon, the Long Memory. Which is a cane, smaller, simple and straightforward, but has it's own hidden light stored inside. A cane is meant to take someone's weight by design, that's it's purpose. To be something that's leant on as a crutch when you're hurting to alleviate the pain by taking the pressure off yourself, so moving forward is made easier. Because everyone needs that support sometimes and it's okay to be weak, it doesn't make you lesser, it just makes you human. And it is incredibly human for us to care for and lean on one another for support. That vulnerability leads to our greatest strength as humans.

The one who carries the heaviest weapon vs The one who has a weapon that can be leant on to take pressure off yourself. Ruby who carries a heavy burden and Oscar being someone that can be leant on for support. ooooooohhhh the cymbal ism of it all.

#and if they swapped weapons at some point? #oscar carrying ruby's burdens in being leader and ruby letting herself be supported?? #one becoming more active and the other more introspective??? #ooooohhhhh. it'd be all over for you bitches. #another fun thing they could is if Crescent Rose breaks from Ruby pushing too hard #and her team help her piece back her weapon together for her #as a reference to Gift of the Moon and trying to help Ruby the way she has for them #that'd be so sweet #anyway I love the weapon symbolism in rwby hehehehe #also I love rosegarden #I feel like there's more weapon symbolism I could dig into with the Long Memory for Oscar but honestly #I mainly wanted an excuse to gush about Crescent Rose a bit #rwby #ruby rose #oscar pine #rosegarden #greenlight volume 10 #rwby meta

oh i was right that's fun. eye dude really did get shipped the quesadilla island residents to look after and instead of doing his job and giving them a perfect island experience he went rogue and started the hell-games and the federation has no idea lmao. the federation thinks its a third party interfering but so far it seems all signs point to it being egg island's equivalent of cucurucho becoming the joker

#qsmp #hey i wonder if the previous residents of egg island did that to him #that'd be fun #they gave this guy such a hard time at work he became the joker #decided that all residents are vermin and sinners and deserve to be punished #or maybe its not even egg island's :) that did it #maybe the eye is someone even higher up in the federation #because they seemed to have access to information about the residents and the eggs and it could have been transfered to him #but maybe he's like a head office type who's in charge of observations or something #and he's seen what they've been up to and has just developed an obsessive hatred #idk im just making up aus at this point but that the fun of theorising

Both of these two are extremely fun to draw

I think Wyll is prettier than Astarion. There I said it. Astarion is more interesting certainly but mainly because Wyll is easier to look at. I just kick my legs and giggle whenever he's on screen. Mesmerized by him. Cannot tear my eyes away type shit.

#i desperately want to romance him but he's hard to find an angle on for an appropriately angsty romance that i enjoy #cuz he's so nice and well-adjusted it's like u deserve better than whatever creature i make for u king<3 #wyll keep trying tho he simply must be smooched asap #i think pally is my best bet tbh #like someone who's righteously angry at mizora #like feral abt how she's mistreating wyll #vengeance pally would be juicy i think but maybe barb could also work? hmmm #i did make a rogue drow just now who looks like the joker and i feel like that'd be a fun combo #i will keep thinking on it #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #wyll ravengard #the problem with wyll is that he's not real and not my boyfriend #astarion type men are fun when they're fictional and you know you wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot-pole irl #but wyll?? i wanna kiss wyll. reader x wyll type shit. i think he can fix me<3

Ave. Avph. If you were a Pokémon gym leader what would your team and typing be!! Your nuzlocke Art driving me crazy!21!1!:3

so maybe i went a little overboard because i got excited. and maybe did a little play on caustic because that's silly. maybe.

also a post-game rematch team for good measure. BATON PASS ISN'T BANNED IN CORE GAMEPLAY BABY !!

#i think my mutuals should also make gym leader sonas and we should make a mutual league that would RULE #pokemon #trainersona #leadersona #gym leader oc #avepharts #THANK YOU SM TERM IM SHAKING YOU SO HARD also i know you know i love scolipede lmfao #none of these are like top five pokemon (though i love them all dearly) ive just been really into poison types lately. #other options would be electric or dark. #asks #anyway initially i was gonna put swords dance on toxicroak's main set but i realised that'd maybe be overkill on a 6th/7th gym #oh and i debated continuing the hidden ability thing for clodsire and skuntank but ultimately decided not to #AND I FORGOT TO ADD THE TM its poison jab as you can probably guess

What if Lord Eclipse's joints glowed in the dark bc of the star...... like could u imagine him in a dark room and just seeing the white glow of every section of his body and ever space between his fingers and where his arms connect to the torso from across the room? could you imagine watching him slowly uncurl and more and more lights from his various hands and body segments shining through the dark?

now could you imagine looking up into a high domed ceiling and seeing that looming over you with his eye completely trained on you?

#xero says things #SORRY i love making him scary. it delights me #but like. gah idk if all of y'all will know what i mean when i say this #like how some utmv artists will draw a skeleton's magic glowing from between fingers or spine or knees #any part that'd normally need flesh to be kept together basically #it'd probably be hard to notice bc he'd probably try to hide it #but it'd be there...... #sun and moon show #the sun and moon show #tsams #lord eclipse #lord eclipse au #centiclipse

bitching abt the poll scroll this is SO stupid but i'm mad

ok this isnt about ship wars or whatever but these tags are making me laugh because "how could wlw fics of two originally male characters be BETTER than a CW queerbaiting sapphic couple" my guy, because those fics were actually written by lesbians

#I AM HERE TO DEFEND WLW WANGXIAN THEY ACTUALLY FREED ME FROM GIRL LIKER CATHOLIC GUILT #like regardless of how u feel about genderbends #lesbian fiction written by lesbians will always be better and hit a lot more than something written by. the CW #of COURSE i didnt vibe with mainstream wlw media before i started reading wangxian genderbent fic of all things #because those fics are being written by people who know liking girls is more than teehee what if we hold hands and braid each otehrs hair #the source material already hit hard and having fics explore how that'd happen if they'd been raised as women makes it hit even harder ik #anyways read out of your system by mimilamp and maybe you'll calm down #modao

[wasyago]

okay um

riptide spoilers for the recent episodes!!!

I dont usually write theories and stuff but i haven't really seen anyone talk about it (maybe i just missed it), and i need to get these thoughts written down because my mind is going a million miles per hour and its driving me crazy.

(Also i guess, disclaimer, im not a patron so the last ep i saw was 108, and i don't know any of the information shared in rolled.)

So. This team of strong pirates, Captain Widow, they're turning the Dread Queen into a lich, right? Like, that's the only logical solution i can think of. They're talking about the Dread Queen obtaining power over life and death, which is like the main lich thing - immortality and the ability to be both dead and alive at the same time. They're performing a long complicated ritual, which is also necessary to become a lich, and that ritual requires a lot of sacrifices and feeding energy and nutrients to the Dread Queen. (And, i apologize, all my knowledge about liches comes from Pointy Hat's videos, but i think they're pretty good to base a theory on).

From what i can recall and what i relistened to: no one knows anything about the Dread Queen, Shadowbeard has never talked about her, in the newspaper about the Lords she was just a silhouette, in the memory Jay got from the Black Sea all they said is that they needed to find her corpse in order to make someone a pirate lord (which clarifies nothing), Drey thought she and all the rest of the Pirate Lords were dead. From what we know about the Lords, Rose dissappeared in the hole in the sea accident. According to Lizzie's words, a couple years ago two more of the Pirate Lords went missing, which are the Dread Queen and our boy Hendrix (which we know is hiding in his pocket dimension). And then Shadowbeard was murdered by Ava in the Shadow Scull Masacre.

As we know from Zamia, the Dread Queen's crew didn't disappear but instead came to the black sea and took over an island. And because there's no contact with the outside world from the black sea, and because Navy freely allows pirates passage there, its fair that the world thought the Dread Queen was dead. And this lack of contact and no Navy activity is probably why the Dread Queen chose the Black Sea as a place for her lich ritual. No one will know about it and no one will interfere, no one will stop them from taking over an entire island and killing it's emperor and doing whatever dark magics they want.

Im not sure why they picked this island specifically. Whether its because of the Great Tree (tm) that is "the way of life and connects every corner of the island and gives it life" and probably has a lot of nutrients for the ritual in it. Or for any other reason, maybe it was just the first island they saw, maybe they just wanted a cool castle, maybe because it's the capital, i don't know but I'm sure there's a smart reason.

Gardeck The Scull Crusher aka the minotaur guy did say that their captain is blessed, and its the reason why death is temporary to them, which is one of the details that confuses me. Because first, who is he referring to, the Dread Queen or Captain Widow, both are technically captains. And second, if he is talking about Widow, then uhhh, how? If he's talking about the Dread Queen and if she is undergoing a lich ritual, (and becoming a lich would grant her the power to freely revive people), then how is she able to cast spells while in a cocoon and probably unconscious and probably not yet a lich?

Uhhh don't know how to end these things but that's all i got for now. Also HUGE respect to Grizzly for coming up with all this and connecting so many things and parallels. Because some of the information comes from as far back as episode 32, and its still relevant and accurate and comes up in the plot now, and oh my god.
