Blake: "Hun? I told you you didn't have to pick me up."
Jaune: "Yeah, but I know Kali would have tons of souvenirs for you to bring back for Ochre and me."
Blake: "Oh I see, you're just here for the presents!"
Jaune: "That... and some of those catnip kisses~"
Blake: "Stop it, It was only a three-day weekend."
Jaune: *peppering kisses along her jawline* "And we're gonna make up for all of that lost time later~. But for now, let me take some of this off your hands."
Blake: "What did I ever do to deserve you two in my life?"
Jaune: "Probably the exact same thing you're gonna do to me tonight-"
Blake: "Hush you!"
Jaune: *laughing* "Speaking of, Ochre and I have a surprise for you waiting in the livingroom."
Blake: "...*gasp* the deep-cushion, book-nook, plush loveseat that kept selling out?"
Jaune: "Yup! Just finished assembling it before heading over."
Blake: "How did you even find-! ...you just finished it?"
Jaune: "Huh? Yeah."
Blake: "And came straight here?"
Jaune: "Yeeees?"
Blake: "Hun. Did you throw away the box before leaving?"
Jaune: "Uh, no? I was gonna leave it in the livingroom for a few days, like a normal person."
Blake: "Oh my gosh, we have to get home! Our daughter's in grave danger!"
Jaune: "Blake, she's almost 14, she can be left alone for 30 minutes, plus she's OUR daughter."
Blake: "That only guarantees my fears!"
*15 minutes later*
Blake: *Bursts through the door* "OCHRE?! SWEETIE?!"
Jaune: "... you know what? Your side of the family is taking this one, that is 100% YOUR daughter."
My idea of a Knightshade kid:
Calico cat Faunus, sweetheart, attractive, but huge derpy cat vibes. A precious bimbo/himbo.
Okay, so... It seems 12 Days of Daily Knightfall One-Shots was a tad bit overambitious. Regardless, I have successfully written and posted a single Knightfall Christmas One-Shot. I hope that's enough to satisfy y'alls hunger. Links down below:
Exactly as the title says. The movie was amazing. Quite honestly, it was a great 1 hour 45 minutes at the movies. I definitely plan on watching it again some day.
Some stuff I loved about the movie:
The Main Trio. They were amazing and hilarious together. The sad moments were allowed to be sad while the funny moments were gut wrenching. They really worked well with each other. One scene I loved was when they were trying to figure out how their switching powers worked. That was great. Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris did an amazing job in this movie.
The scenes with Kamala's family were great. Their reactions to everything happening around them were incredibly funny. Especially when Kamala's mother threatened Captain Marvel and Kamala refused to translate it to her hero.
Sam L Jackson. Sam L Jackson was another great thing about this movie and I am so happy to see how different he is here to how he was in Secret Invasion.
The whole time the trio were on the singing planet. I mean, Brie Larson singing and dancing? Come on, now.
Carol Danvers scenes, especially that scene when she found out that Maria's cancer came back. Just heartbreaking to see Carol react to the news.
Valkyrie showing up from out of nowhere. That was nice.
The mid-credits scene. It has me excited to see what the MCU has in store for the future.
That's about all I can think of for now. Overall, The Marvels is a strong entry into the MCU and it annoys me seeing it being bashed all over social media.
RWBY: Where everything is the same except with 1 small change...
Bake: Wait, Xiao Long? As in 'Taiyang Xiao Long'?
Yang: Yup, there's our old man!
Blake: So, you're mother is Summer Rose?!
Yang: Not...not quite.
Ruby: See, Summer is technically my Mama...well, both of our Mama, but she's the one who gave birth to me.
Weiss: Wait, so who is Yang's.
Ruby: Dad's first wife~
Yang: Ruby, shut up!
Blake: I'm confused...who is your mom, Yang?
Ruby: Oh, you'll see soon enough.
Yang: Ruby, I said-
A portal then opens up in Team RWBY's room.
Yang: Oh no...
Raven Branwen then jumps out of the portal.
Raven: Hi, sweeties! How is your first day of Beacon Going? Are you okay? Are you eating well? Yang, stop slouching.
Yang: MOM! I'm not Slouching!
Raven: Yes you are! You're gonna become a shrimp sitting like that!
Ruby: Hi Mom.
Raven: Ruby! *ruffles her hair* I heard you were made Team Leader. I'm so proud of you! I can't believe you got into Beacon early!
Blake: ...Are...are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Weiss: Raven Branwen, one of Beacon's top students and one of the deadliest women alive, just teleported into our room and is apparently Yang's birth mother and her and Ruby call her 'Mom'.
Blake: Yeah, okay, just making sure I haven't hit my head.
I think the fact that The Marvels is still trending on Tumblr even after all those articles about how it's "the worst opening weekend for Marvel ever" means that it is a good, nay, GREAT movie! The people here don't (usually) make something trending because it's awful, they do because they love it!
Go watch the movie, it's a fun one, I promise. Unless you hate women or whatever then I can't help you.
It's a fun little character piece with likable characters having wacky space adventures and at its core it is very sweet and warm. And I think that that core covers over a variety of things that things that might be perceived as either faults or just unremarkable aspects, and preserve the whole as something thoroughly enjoyable.
Assorted spoilers free thoughts:
Putting Carol alongside the other two (but particularly Monica) and also some of the specifics of the plot, bring out a more vulnerable side to her that is really nice to see. And because of that I think that if you were previously lukewarm on Carol, you'll probably like her better in this movie
Similarly, where the first movie maybe came off a little impersonal by taking Carol's memories and mostly separating her from anyone she had a long term connection with, this one seems to bring the heart to the forefront and really focuses on relationships.
Iman Vellani is a treasure, and if you guys blow this for her by not going to see this movie, I'm going to be mad at you.
What an abrupt but welcome change to see Fury go from whatever was happening in Secret Invasion to having a zany good time over here.
This really is Captain Marvel 2 in a way that I wasn't sure it was going to be. There's plenty of Kamala and Monica too, but Carol really is at the center of it.
Dar Benn is not going to go down as one of the better Marvel villains but she's not bad by any means and Zawe Ashton can pull off some crazy eyes.
The three leads balance each other really well and have very good chemistry.
This movie has hijinks. If you are looking for friendship and hijinks and cats, this is the movie. (And to be absolutely clear, that is what I'm looking for).
i'm sooooo disappointed that The Marvels isn't doing too well at the box office because I loved how fucking GOOFY it was. Properly WACKY.
The planet where people communicate by singing, where Carol is a PRINCESS who married a prince who looks like a K-pop idol and we got to hear Brie Larson sing????? WHHHAATT???
Like, remember when dudebros were going ballistic because they wanted Carol to crack a damn smile in the first Captain Marvel movie and now here she is MARRIED and SINGING and DANCING.
It felt like a big fuck you to the critics. "Oh you want her girly? Here, she's a Disney princess now. Are you not entertained???"
Also I low-key love that it's Kamala who gets Carol and Monica to work through their family issues. Because Kamala GETS IT. She gets familial obligations and still trying to be independent but she still loves her family SO MUCH and she's skilled at navigating awkward emotional experiences. Just because you disagree or disappoint your family doesn't stop them from loving you, or you from loving them.

Sun (10): Tell me about it, me and my cousin used to watch X-Ray and Vav, but now they are in Middle school and suddenly it's gay
Dew (10): *Throws ball* Laugh while you can chumps! Because soon you'll wake up and all you wanna see is a "Titty!"
Jaune (10): *Kicks ball in anger* Oh yeah!? Well, you know what I heard!? That you're gonna be rocketing blood out of your own torso every month!
Yang (10): Take it to the bank guys, we're all screwed sideways, *catches ball* It's only a matter of time before we start awkwardly grabbing each other in the back of our parents vans.
