Wish more people understood the difference between "shipping this aro character because i want to explore their aromanticism and where they stand in the spectrum" and "shipping this aro character because i don't care about their orientation".

epic aro sculpture i did for class

the heart is made out of plastic bags wrapped with tape, so it's squishy ^_^ and the knife is qtips hot glued together. the knife is also removable!

“You can’t headcanon that character as aro, they’ve canonically had romantic interest in someone!!!” Okay but you can ship a character who canonically has had NO romantic interest???

Luke being given a quest at 17, feeling like there's no glory in it because it's a quest someone's already succeeded before, but then failing that very quest he considered to be beneath him, getting a permanent scar, "ruining it" for the rest of the campers because now no one else can go on quests and earn glory in the eyes of the gods, so he turns to Kronos, and years later here comes a possible candidate for the great prophecy, 12 years old, gets the first quest the camp has done since Luke's fucked it up, and Luke is actively ensuring this quest is an impossible quest!! he's literally rigged it so Percy's gonna fail (the shoes, the bolt appearing in his bag) and then this kid somehow succeeds still??? and not only that, Percy got the unique quest Luke wanted in the first place and achieved feats no one else had and earned glory in the eyes of his father, all because Luke created the circumstances for that to happen??

oh my god yeah I don't think I'd ever recover from that either

Imagine being Percy, having to travel to the other side of the fucking country as a 12yo to enter the Underworld and then a few years later you find out there was an entrance in your fucking city. I would be pissed off tbh

The way I was talking about the contrast between Loid’s fight and Yor’s fight with my mate when we walked out of the theatre lmfao it was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it

Just finished the Spyxfamily movie and can we talk about that fact that while Loid was fighting a big bad general they made Yor fight a CYBORG with GUNS FOR ARMS cuz it was the only POSSIBLE thing they could think of that could believably hold back yor and they STILL had to make a point that knifes didn’t work cuz otherwise she would have won immediately… my girl is really op and they know it

raven and qrow are part of a secret meeting. qrow says tai has an assignment that prevents him from being in vacuo—"maybe we don't have the full picture."

i swear this team can't escape secrets even if their life dependent on it. team strq more like team sq— no not going to write that out actually. forget it, just. team secret. they have layers. like an onion. goes on and on and makes me cry.

Red like roses

bothers me SO MUCH that tai isn't in vacuo LIKE WHERE ARE YOU???? WHY ARE WE BEING VAGUEEEEEEE???? WTF IS "OUT ON ASSIGNMENT" LIKE???? TEAM STRQ UNVEIL YOUR SECRETS

"Maybe we don't have the full picture."

You know as someone who has spent the last year talking about how Ruby and Yang (and by extension, WE the audience) don't actually know NEARLY enough about their family history as they/we have long assumed thanks to Tai and Qrow being SUPREMELY unreliable narrators...

Yeah, this ABSOLUTELY feels like foreshadowing.

I also love that we’re seeing how the Ever After was positively impacted by Ruby and Co’s presence. The Genial Gems are working to build a stable society and support others. The night market is even more of a thriving community. The Herbalist is doing their job properly and guiding others. And with a little help, the Red Prince grows and learns too — not because the Gods forced them into a new role, but because a fellow Afteran told him he was capable and still had worth without the constant expectation of victory.

If Tai really is still in Vale, and even still on Patch, maybe the theories he’s guarding the Crown of Choice is true. Cus it seems he hasn’t come to see Ruby and Yang even though they’ve come back after being presumed dead. And Qrow is on an assignment? He could be with Tai to help him out hmmm

Anyway, I’ve already planned out what he’ll be doing in my fic so this won’t have my bearing on it. Most likely. I mean, the Crown can’t be on his person. It attracts Grimm.

the fact that qrow calls it an "assignment" is what gets me. this is the point of time that glynda should have already arrived to vacuo with help she went looking for—by the time team rwby + jaune return, the ships from all the kingdoms are there already—so it can't be that, and if it was somehow related to this search for help... why not just say so? "tai's still looking for help" is all it needs.

but no. he has his own assignment that keeps him away from vacuo. he left patch for a mystery mission after beacon's cct tower had been broken into, and once again sometime after the breach had happened. he's got to look after "some things", an explanation why he can't go after ruby even when he wants to, why he didn't leave when yang did.

what could be more important? what requires such secrecy that it's an assignment with no further explanations?

all the maidens are accounted for with the mystery girl in the secret meeting likely being the summer maiden—and if she isn't, she's still in vacuo, not in vale or patch.

all that is left is the mystery of where the crown is, and when beacon, the place their enemy excepts to find the relic at is compromised, tai starts going on missions again; when everyone is in vacuo, tai is still in vale / patch.

he is the dragon guarding the treasure. there's no other reason to point his absence if it wasn't an important plot point.

after how they handled it in V9, 'boba' restored my faith in how they're handling ruby's arc and especially her friends response to it. yang acknowledging the role she played in ruby not feeling like she could talk to them, that she wasn't really there for ruby in a way that ruby needed her to, making it clear that she is there for her now and that there's no going back to the team rwby that was, ruby acknowledging that she still doesn't really know how to ask for help, the code word...

it's all good stuff. very similar to the discussion yang and weiss had in V5, which is a good thing ✌
