#the mission was going well

[strqyr]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

#rwby #this has been keeping me awake at night #ramblings ahoy i have arrived #the mission was going well #until it didn't #at which point it went down the drain faster than you can say oh no

first meetings (bonus panel under the cut!!)

i didnt wanna add it to the main post bc it's a different size and it would mess up the format lmaooo

i think about these two a lot i think they could be really fun together in several ways. monty golf is right next to the daycare after all!!

#my art #daycare attendant #sundrop #sunnydrop #oh idk how to tag for monty.... #montgomery gator #monty gator #this isnt explicitly ship but if u wanna read it that way go for it lol #i genuinely do think these two are like.. connected in some way. i just have a hunch okay just trust me #monty golf is right next to the daycare. they were both side attractions before bonnie's disappearance #they've both got destroyed staff bots in their rooms. the 'decommission monty' mission makes you go back to the daycare #as well as monty being the one that gets called when a staff bot finds you in the daycare #IM JUST SAYING.... it cant be a coincidence right. it probably is but just hear me out okay #what if monty didnt kill bonnie. thats all i'll say for now #i'll stop being a conspiracy theorist in the tags now

I'm at that part of chapter three my friends, so let me be a reminder that Colm O'Driscoll's plan to lure in Dutch after taking Arthur failed because nobody came looking for him.

He would have died being held captive any longer, he barely escaped.

The gang did not come for Arthur.

#and it makes me seethe #listen in my first playthrough this was the part I thought Arthur was going to die in #that's how little I knew about this game #I was crying real tears #I was mourning arthur three chapters early lol #and I know I know micah explains himself but god it is not good enough #tilly went missing and they noticed right away #they hadn't seen trelawny in a few days and they went to find him #FUCKING BILL GOES MISSING AFTER BEING TAKEN BY BOUNTY HUNTERS AND THEY NOTICE #I seethe I seethe #Arthur Morgan your own family failed you #I get so caught up in the fun family dynamic that I have to remember that arthur is the “protector” #so who protects the protector? well then this mission tells you everything you need to know #arthur has to save himself because nobody was there for him #and again I know that if the gang knew he was taken they would look #but the fact that hosea said LOUD AND CLEAR that it was a trap and that THEY HAD SAID TO MEET UP IF ANYTHING WENT WRONG #AND THEY STILL DIDN'T LOOK FOR HIM!!!!!!!! #THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY #ARTHUR WENT MISSING FROM A MISSION THAT WAS CLEARLY A TRAP AND THEY DIDN'T GO LOOKING FOR HIM #FOR THEIR SON #THEIR BROTHER #THEY DIDN'T LOOK!!!! #my blood is boiling #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan #red dead redemption 2 spoilers #mick rants #colm o'driscoll

Desmond, bartender in 2000s-2010s New York would absolutely binge shitty reality tv and adore eavesdropping on patrons when he can't get his drama fix. He's the RPG tavern owner who you ask if he has heard any rumors and his eyes light up because now he can info dump all the shit he hears. This follows him to the past, where now he has to actively seek out this entertainment.

He abuses his enhanced senses to sit on roofs and listen in with a hand to his mouth like, "oh my god. They were roommates." He is both the best informant and the worst because, while he is a master at getting information, the details he focuses on are useless to the Order.

"Yeah so this guy will be here at this time at this place, whatever. But! More importantly this guy has been having an affair with his wife's sister AND her brother and-"

"Please, Desmond, I am begging you just tell me the information for the mission."

--------

In Altair's time, Malik was originally Desmond's go to but after being chased out one to many times for "loitering and disturbing the peace of the bureau" (i.e. Malik's peace) Desmond switches to the Rafiq in Damascus since he "at least appreciates me." Eventually Malik would begrudgingly miss his presents and send a request for him to come back because Desmond is the only one he can rant at about Altair.

Altair does not know what the hell Desmond is talking about half the time, but now he does know the baker has three sons that his wife never knew of and one of the sons has shown up at the baker's home.

He normally will just let Desmond keep talking cause he likes his voice.

---------

In Ezio's time he is best friends with Claudia and her girls love him. He'll drop in and gossip with them about their patrons or even warn them about some of them. "Be careful I heard that he has some craziness going on between the legs." or the girls will ask questions about Ezio.

"I heard he is a beast in bed, is that true?"

"Well you didn't hear it from me, buuuut~"

He is 100% going off of hazy animus memories, but all the courtesans totally think he has either A.) slept with Ezio or B.) is actively sleeping with Ezio

With Claudia he talks about the goings on in Tiber Island and what Ezio is up to. Ezio doesn't know how the hell his sister knows everything he is doing or why he gets a message from her forbidding him from doing something he hasn't even gotten to do yet and Desmond just stands off to the side sweating.

---------

Connor is gonna go gray early with how often Desmond just disappears from the Homestead because he seems hellbent on not staying still as it gets "to boring there". Desmond will normally pop up in the strangest of places. Either Connor will find him, head tilted like a dog as he listens in on a group or Desmond will just hunt Connor down himself. "Heard you were in the area."

At time he loves it because Desmond always has a ready flow of information and he is very good at sowing discontent with it, making for good distractions. On the other hand he can do without the open commentary or rampant attention he gives any interaction Connor has with his father.

"It's so much more interesting when it's not me"

*Connor and Haytham both glare at him*

he's so fucking small what the hell

#naruto #he's literally 12 #i know minato promoted him to anbu because he wanted to be able to keep kakashi close to him as a personal guard #(and thus prevent him from going out on so many dangerous missions) #but that didn't work out well. at all. #also. his commander's like: (watches kakashi murder 5 people without restraint) it seems like he has no psychological trauma so that's good

This was gonna be a comic, but I wasn't having fun drawing it, so I scrapped it

You get the cover and outfits section

#art #illustration #fanart #psychonauts #razputin aquato #lili zanotto #sasha nein #milla vodello #raz psychonauts #lili psychonauts #sasha psychonauts #milla psychonauts #outfits #the idea was that Sasha and Milla get assigned to investigate reports of strange psychic happenings at a mall #and Raz hears about it and begs to come along. and Lili's says she's coming if Raz is #and it's likely not very serious so they're allowed as long as they stay out of trouble #but Raz keeps wanting to look at everything and go into all the stores #Lili gets bored that they're not finding anything and joins in Raz's wanting to actually do things #and she sorta convinces Milla as well. by guilt tripping her about how Raz hasn't been to a mall before and so he's never seen any of it #so Sasha's left as the only one taking the mission seriously #also they've got different outfits (other than the ones in the outfits section) so you can tell it's a different time than in the games #I think probably a month or so post psychonauts 2

Lyney: Don't worry my dear siblings, home is wherever we are together!

*Traveler, sobbing and completely ruining the moment*

Lyney: Wha-

Paimon: No worries, they've just been separated from their twin for 500 years because of an Unknown God...

Paimon, noticing their shock: But they reunited! It's just that their sibling left on a mission five minutes later, saying that they "have to complete their journey" and "we've always had time".... Which means they haven't reunited at all, ha ha...

Liney, Lynette and Freminet:

Lyney, panicking: Do you want to see a magic trick!?!?

#genshin impact #lyney #lynette #freminet #traveler #everyone at the House of Hearth is now looking for our twin as well #they value family so gotta respect the traveler's dedication #paimon didn't mention they're working for the abyss because that's too much info to just give randomly #so let's just say that it's a looong mission #house of hearth: going on a mission is no excuse to ignore your sibling!

Renée Minkowski is extremely into the abstract concept of Crew Bonding in such a way that it impairs her ability to actually bond with the particular crew that she has.

She wants them to have Christmas dinner together and give each other Christmas gifts, but she's not made an effort to learn Eiffel's feelings about December 25th and to think about what he might like to do that day.

She wants them to each say what they are thankful for at Thanksgiving, but when she says she's "thankful to have such a great crew on this mission", it sounds extremely unconvincing, as if she's just saying what she thinks a Commander ought to say at a Thanksgiving dinner on a space station, rather than expressing any genuine sentiments or revealing anything personal about herself.

She wants them all to participate in the talent show "to boost morale... bond as a crew, and... have a great time doing it", but Hilbert and Eiffel's reactions make it clear that talent shows do the opposite of improving crew morale for them.

Christmas celebrations and thanksgiving dinners and talent shows are all things that could potentially have a positive impact on morale and bonding for some hypothetical space crews, but in the way Minkowski approaches them, none of these things are particularly helpful for the morale and bonding of the people who are actually in her crew. Minkowski puts real effort into group bonding activities for her crew, but they are always based on general ideas about crew bonding, rather than on thinking about the individuals around her and what she can do to connect with those people in particular.

#Wolf 359 #w359 #renee minkowski #renée minkowski #I think she was probably even more intense about crew bonding stuff earlier in the mission #By the beginning of S1 she's just going through the motions to some extent #Also telling Eiffel 'that's actually less horrific than what I was expecting' to his thanksgiving contribution #isn't exactly a good way to encourage him to contribute #She tells him not to do smoke rings for the talent show as well #which under Wolf 359 science is sensible #but it's also reflective of a determination to get people to participate in the way that feels right to her #rather than the way that's natural for them #Tbf Eiffel at least seemed to enjoy that thanksgiving dinner #but it doesn't really seem like it brought them closer together #Especially with culturally loaded things like Christmas and Thanksgiving #there should have been a discussion there #but that's the thing #communication #and understanding her crew as individuals #those are things she has to learn #I'm also not saying that successfully bonding with Hilbert would have made any difference to anything #but pre-Christmas-mutiny it was an aim of hers at least on paper #Another thing to note is that Hera is partially excluded from some of these things #She's the only willing participant in the talent show #but Minkowski gives her a part with two lines #Minkowski encourages Hera's contribution of what she's thankful for #but only after Hera's asked if she could say something #Oh also I think that Minkowski's thanksgiving speech sounds like she'd planned those lines out before she even got up to the Hephaestus #She isn't thankful for her crew. Not at that stage. She's saying it through gritted teeth #But she'd planned on having a crew she was thankful for
