#Atlesians

[jjr1971]

Thanks to some Twitter discussion tonight it made me think more deeply about Winter Schnee, the eldest of the Schnee children, daughter of Willow & Jacques. We know from her backstory that she abandoned the Schnee family hierarchy, abandoning her claim as Schnee Company Heiress, which then fell to her younger sister Weiss, one of the 4 chief protagonists of the web series RWBY. From a character design standpoint, I've always thought Winter's Eyebrows are something she paints black with thick mascara as part of her military grooming practices, e.g. are not naturally black. But I never stopped to think WHY until tonight.....then it HIT me....she wears her black mascara because consciously or even unconsciously she's trying to emulate her surrogate father figure, her commanding officer, General James Ironwood, and his naturally black eyebrows and facial hair. His head of hair betrays some grey, salt and pepper on the sides, but it was once solid black. He probably dyes his beard and eyebrows so they remain solid black leaving only the sides of his head with a bit of grey showing. In Winter's complete rejection of Jacques, she altered her appearance to be more like the new father figure she replaced him with, James Ironwood. This is probably an uncomfortable truth that would come up if Winter ever had time to go to therapy, but alas, with a war to stop the End of the World on, that's sadly unlikely. But if Winter did take a moment to reflect on it, I think in that case it would mean if we see Winter again in RWBY Volume 10, we might see her revert back to her natural white eyebrow color, like her sister Weiss and the rest of her family. Or maybe, even if she does recognize what she's doing and why, she'll ultimately decide to keep them black as the new head of what remains of the Atlas Military chain of command in exile. She was Ironwood's right hand, after all. Atlesians are going to have a hell of a time with their Vergangenheitsbewältigung nach der Untergang (Wrestling with the past after the Fall of Atlas), especially those who made it to refuge & exile in Vacuo....but also the remaining outpost of Atlesian culture and technology, aka Argus Base. Hopefully Caroline Cordovan will read the writing on the wall and throw her support behind Winter and not try to become a rival in a power struggle for who leads the legitimate Atlas government after Ironwood. Though given her proclivities, she just might.

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but Vale is really just gone off screen?

Couldn't have Ruby's message motivate the people of the world to all come to Vacuo for the final battle with Salem, no, it has to be the darkest possible reason for Port and Ooblek to be there?

This is why I don't understand people that say RW/BY is a hopepunk. At every turn, the story is as grimdark as possible and nothing ever gets better "but at least we have hope!"

#rwde #an entire group of people were just displaced from their land and culture depending on how much stuff they got to bring with them #and its a foot note? #at least when Atlas fell it got the decency to be shown onscreen #also #i do not the “you colonized peoples should stop being mean to your colonizers” sentiment #in real life its always the other way around #you cant convince me the Atlesians wouldnt be as bitchy as possible to the Vacuns #its another example of R/T hyperfocusing on oppresed people being not as nice as humanly possible

last few eps of V7 and all of V8 make it really. really obvious that not only has the atlas military never won a war, its entire command structure is oriented around individual power and technology to the extreme detriment of strategy and tactics; the salem wins primarily because she delivers a siege to a general who has not the slightest idea how to mount a proper defense and a city that would have been shockingly ill-equipped to withstand siege even if ironwood did know what he was doing. (dialogue early in V8 suggests that atlesian warships are sallying against the grimm flock and being shot down repeatedly—this strongly suggests that atlas does not have any kind of ground-based or even long-distance ranged weaponry with which to fire on the grimm from within the hard-light fortifications, which is in line with the arrogant presumption of untouchability that pervades the culture but utterly gobsmacking from a tactical standpoint, particularly in light of the fact that defenses of this general nature have been adopted to good effect by other states ie the turrets on the argus express which are in fact a great idea.) (further the nearly absolute reliance on the hard-light shields as a singular line of defense is breathtaking; the ace-ops mention proximity alarms that have been taken offline in V7 but there is noticeably no reference to defensive outposts or anything of that nature, suggesting that once watts disabled the sensors salem was able to fly her army east from the coast to atlas itself completely uncontested—granted it is unclear how much defensive depth would have mattered given that the nature of salem’s army made logistics virtually a non-issue and she is effectively able to respawn any forces lost to engagements while she advanced, but they could have at least slowed her down.)

#salem is hardly a mastermind but she clearly has a working grasp of military theory whereas her opponents do not #which really serves to highlight how the existence of the atlesian military is functionally just security theater

you ever think about how the second to last episode of v3 is called heroes and monsters and most of the fights in it aren't human vs grimm like the name might suggest, but human vs human?

bc i sure do and it keeps me awake at night.

#rwby #i say most fights #but genuinely outside of that one scene in vale #that is against grimm and atlesian knights #they're all human vs human #heroes and monsters y'all

[dragynkeep]

I am hear to share my Winter/Marrow propaganda- hear me out, I swear! I was also not endeared to it when Winter kneeled on Marrow and everything, and Schnee/Faunus pairings in this fandom more often than not are usually seen as “take backs” at Jacques, which is a little gross.

But. But! I feel like this pairing has some juice to it. The Prince and the Pauper interactions. Former heiress who is now “lower” in social ranking meets Faunus who climbed up the ranks as an Ace-Op, both fighting to be recognised for their merit and not where they came from. Both fighting so hard to not show vulnerability in their own ways, but they can at least be vulnerable with each other.

It could have the good part of White Rose (no nonsense Schnee who brings levelheadedness interacts with naive yet talented goofball who helps her stop and smell the flowers sometimes) and the interesting part of Checkmate (Faunus/Human dynamics, possible Enemies-to-Lovers romance).

You could even subvert the Dating What Daddy Hates trope by showing how they care about each other. Them shrugging off comments about how Marrow is only trying to date a Schnee for “the perks” or to “try out a Human to see what its like” (he’s far too sincere to even think about it and she’s far too vigilant to let it happen) or how Winter is only doing this to spite her father (she wants 0% of Jacques’ opinion and Marrow is probably one of the easier Faunus partners to explain than say, Blake or Adam or Sienna).

There’s also how loyalty is a large theme in both their stories, how they both ties to their job AND their kingdom AND the peoplle they care for, and how much more it would hurt with them fighting in Volume 8 about where their loyalties lie; Winter being unable to leave the General even if she doesn’t fully agree with what he’s doing since he actually has a plan, and Marrow disagreeing with them because he’s devastated at the number of lives that would be lost with Ironwood’s plan, even if its all they have. How this would clash with how much they care about each other, how much Winter worries about Mantle too but sees the overall sacrifice as worth it, how much Marrow fears about his job but wants to stick to his morals which at telling him to protact as many people as possible. A bit like Renora but like, written with more detail and empathising with both sides.

Anyways, I rest my case and I hope I have made this ship seem at least a little less unbearable.

i do love fanon atlesian malamutes when it's described like this & veers away from the "getting back at jacques by tainting his human daughters with a filthy faunus" but there's a lot more similarities you described about them than i realized 🥺

Emerald: Lengthy Cocks or Girthy Cocks?

"Meh. Don't really have a preference. Big cocks in general just aren't something that I care about. But...since I prefer anal stuff, I'll say girth over length."

Atlesian Ball Chapter 14

Hello everyone, as always I have a random update with no specific timetable and a promise to post more often!

This update has with it an actual story update though, so that's a bonus! I've been slowly going back through the stories that are in need of updates and trying not to get too carried away with bonus or side projects, and already have a good start on Chapter 15 of Atlesian Ball. This will be my priority for the near future before I decide what to focus on next. Most of my other stories in progress will probably get randomized updates as many of them were spur of the moment burn throughs not intended for longevity (Burden of Destiny, Pond) though Burden does now have an entirely drafted narrative behind it so at the very least it will probably see life as well!

In other news Bee Week is also coming up in a few so expect lots of good Bee content for that. Lots of unique prompts this time around so that should be fun. As always for anyone that sees this, thanks for being a reader :)

f a i n t e d! - Xena

"Is that..? What the hell is he doing out here?"

Xena looks around to gauge the danger in her surroundings, her tail wagging left and right with a few occasional clicks while weighing the options. She soon sighed and walked over to the Atlesian, her tail moving to wrap around his torso and to pull him up to lend a shoulder after some effort, starting to lead him towards a less open area.

"At least pass out somewhere a bit safer, honestly..."

#the kit's cartoons #rwby #the kit screams! #ruby rose #weiss schnee #the alternate version is still Weiss as Ken but it's because she kept throwing people after they made fun of her friends #she did it to one person for harassing Blake. she'd do it constantly to other atlesians for harassing her Ruby and Yang and we all know it

[bestworstcase]

the grimm at the end of V6 have a better grasp of tactics than anyone in the atlesian military

#but grimm are mindless—that flock flies over and PAST argus to cover the leviathan’s approach #two volumes from now salem will destroy the atlesian fleet when its ships sally her forces without cover #lmao.
