Hello, hello! This is a tumblr of oddities. If you ever have a question about my fics you are completely free to ask. Aroace and proship, so no anti rhetoric, please! In the immortal words of Bill & Ted: Be excellent to each other.
If you dont mind me asking, why was May's allusion in Antares changed from Maid Marian to Will Scarlet?
A few reasons! Firstly, how is May Maid Marian beyond the initials, same as Fiona Thyme being Friar Tuck? I don't really see it, and I couldn't think of a way to make it work.
So instead, I started looking a bit more into personalities, and the whole idea of a firebrand swordswoman, youngest of the group, but loyal and outcast from a noble family. I also thought that having her colour scheme be distinctly red and blue would help differentiate her somewhat from the others, who are majority green, but would also tie her closer to Robyn, who has red as her secondary colour with her waistcoat. It's very clear who May idolises the most in the group, who she styled herself after.
She's also paralleled with Marrow, who also has a red/blue colour theme, but he leans more blue, so they're that contrast of hothead and cool-tempered (they were on a team together in Atlas, now they're mortal enemies over petty ex-roommate things)
Also the scene in Robin Hood: Men in Tights with Will Scarlet and his daggers is iconic and May has that 'shoot at me bring it on' energy, its what she deserves.
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
Whitley and Ozpin, the disaster duo. I wanted to make it look a bit more eldritch (and obvious) when the Ozs in Antares were either using magic or switching who was in the driver's seat, so to speak. Also Antares is an Oz!Whitley AU, they're very fun together🕰️☃️
I know you're not the Dragon Warrior. None of you. I heard how he fell out of the sky on a ball of fire... that he's a warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen.
