Mmmmm been having some thoughts on Ruby and Weiss rn

Ruby is set up to be foiled to Alyx, both in the opening, trying to retrace her footsteps in her story in the first couple of episodes, picking up Alyx's knife at the blacksmith's:

And in the latest episode, her lashing out being met with her intepreted as being cruel and selfish:

"Like Alyx, she wasn’t just a little petulant or inconsiderate. She was selfish, cruel. Like this whole word was simply make-believe and the rules didn’t apply to her."

"What about you? It's *all* about you!"

JWBY all seem to have different ideas of who and what Alyx was. She exists to teach a moral lesson, she's just a girl trying to survive and find her way back home, she was a mean little girl, she was the villain who rewrote the story.

But then we also have this line from the book said by Oscar in V8:

"She brushed off her bumps and bruises, for nothing hurt worse than the loneliness in her chest."

And... I'm reminded of Ruby's own loneliness, how distant she feels from her own teamates and friends right now, from the pressure of expectations to always be the one with a plan, with a smile and something positive to say to inspire everyone to Keep Moving Forward, put on her by both herself and the people around her. How Weiss is mourning her kingdom, Yang and Blake get to sort their feelings out, Jaune gets to have his breakdown, to the point his own over shadows Ruby's and her feelings are dismissed. And how the way she lashes out at them was both understandable and a long time coming, but also terribly cruel and messy. And that no one can be blamed for not seeing or reaching out to Ruby more when she refuses to let others know how much she's hurting and ask for their help. Ruby is still entitled to her own feelings. So is Jaune and WBY.

Which brings to mind a certain quote shown at the beginning of a certain someone's trailer:

"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or forms of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable"

Weiss's arc involves her looking outside of herself and learning to see and understand those around her, their own sorrows and burdens they carry with them. And of course, loneliness is a big reoccurring theme in Weiss's arc. Meeting her teammates and supporting them is what leads to her understanding their struggles, hence why Weiss develops from wanting to be the leader to instead dedicating herself to being the most supportive member in team RWBY, and thrives the most when she's fighting with them, but also emotionally supports them through their own struggles.

She's the one who notices something's off with Blake first in V2, and gets her to open up to the rest of her team so they can all work it out together:

"So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?"

She supports Yang when she's confronting Raven and dealing with her abandonment issues

"It's okay if... you're not okay."

Her own sense of self and relationship to loneliness is a healthy one at present, and is something she can use to relate to others.

She understands other people’s loneliness, that Blake in V5 needed space and in time she’d come back, and Weiss would be ready to be there for her when she did. And she also understands Yang’s loneliness in the same volume and that she needed someone there to support her.

“But you’re right. I don’t know loneliness like you do. I have my own version. And, I bet Blake has her own version too.” 

"When she's ready, I'll be there for her. And I know we're not as close, but... I'm here for you too."

Weiss understands that no one's version of loneliness is the same, and every individual needs something different to have their feelings respected and understood. And now in V9 Weiss has to reckon and come to understand Ruby's own version of loneliness after seeing Ruby snap and how much everything has been weighing down on her, and what she needs from her as a friend and teammate.

All the way back in V1, Weiss grew to accept Ruby as leader and promised to support her:

"Ruby... I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. Just know, that I am going to be the best teammate you will ever have."

And I believe she'll try to hold true to that as best she can for Ruby going forward.

#this isn't as coherent as I'd like but I wanted to post this before it left my head and the next episode happened #obviously there's no perfect solution to ruby's problems and ruby may be getting worse before she gets better but #there wasn't a perfect solution to blake and yang's struggles either #nor with weiss's own #that doesn't mean they can't be there for ruby and try to understand her own sorrow and loneliness #also I'd say weiss was starting to support jaune with his own loneliness #but of course this was it's own double edged sword when it came to ruby #but I think she'll help them both #I'm just more interested in ruby and weiss tbh but that's just a personal thing #rwby #ruby rose #rwby alyx #weiss schnee #rwby9 #rwby spoilers #rwby2 #rwby5 #rwby1

there's a lot going on in this image but I really must draw attention specifically to harper's Fabulous Hat.

#em is posting about sharpe #sharpe #other things in this image that enthral and delight: #the way harris is evidently trying to get fancy - his coat is a fashionable cut but it's a bit too small for him still #but also he is still the same old sillyfellow as evidenced by the fact that he is still wearing his shirt open like that #his funny little stance that looks like a fashion plate... #and these are a little less obvious in this photo but hagman's trousers have LACING up the sides of the legs #the shoulders of his coat fit but the sleeves end maybe six inches above where his shirt-cuffs are #and then harper... wow what a Look #the purple coat the double-breasted waistcoat the trousers tucked into the boots the GLOVES the HAT... #iirc we don't actually see him wearing said hat in the episode... wonder if there are photos of it out there somewhere #doing a bit of a look-around at the episode again on this hat hunt and Augh My Sorrow #it's so Getting The Gang Back Together... their little cheerfulness... sharpe and pat hugging... and then The Rest of The Episode :|

“You’re still here?”

Of course he was still here. This was their ranch, their place, he wasn’t—he wasn’t just gonna abandon it because. Just because.

Y’know.

A warm weight settled on him, like a hug, and he looked over to see his soulmate’s fiery hair lighting up the area like a ghost light.

“It’s over. Go home.”

No. No, he wasn’t gonna—he wasn’t gonna leave it like that. It was his fault, again, always, and he…he couldn’t leave it at that.

His soulmate hugs him tighter, and somehow through the warmth of that touch, even though they’re ghosts, he knows…

He knows it’s okay.

He knows it’s okay, and that they’re still friends, still partners, that someone had to go first and they’d always known their curses would catch up to them eventually. That they had a good run while it lasted. That there was no animosity and no grudges held.

“Go.“

This time, the word sounds comforting. Calming. Less an end and more a beginning.

And Jimmy lets go of the Ranch and drifts, fading back towards a world where there was another home, another ranch. The story didn’t end here. It was just a new chapter.

#double life smp #trafficblr #trafficblr fanfic #look I told you guys I was drowning my sorrows #i know Tango probably just meant more to be snarky at the end of his video but #I’m turning it into lore and story cause that’s what we do here #team rancher #don’t worry I have something else that’s more of a happy outcome for them

( ..... things not being as they are is such a hard broly vibe for me as well. in positive and negative ways. just fldjfg idk HOW TO PUT IT TO WORDS. but its there. those classic fantasy of where the world is broken in pieces, nothing makes sense yet there are hidden passages and twisted riddle, thats it right there. should anyone have the misfortune of delving into that bastard’s mindscape/psyche.. well good fucking luck making sense of that mess and finding a way out. )

#|| Tag: OOC #( its a certain vibe but hard to put it into words. ) #( and yeah. blah blah blah. he's meant to just be this fucking giant ass rage monster pyscho and whatever ) #( but consider.................... I do what I want. ) #( I just feel like it'd fit with what I seen in his first movie. his mind is without a doubt broken in places and held together only by rage #( BUT. there's also envy and jealousy. Pain and sorrow but it gets forced into the familiarity of rage. ) #( in another story. he is a fallen prodigy. he could've saved his race if things were favorable ) #( but he was met with scorn and contempt. feared by his power to disrupt what was placed. ) #( most of it wasn't his fault but it still did twist him into what he is. and thats not to say he's excused from any of it. ) #( he's a terrifying enemy and a horrible ally. ) #( as much brawn as he has. there's also brains in there and that makes him all the more deadly to face with. ) #( I don't get to play into his more cunning aspects but whoo boy.. it something i do want but he doesn't employ that side. ) #( unless there's a reason to. ) #( just. there's so many smaller facets I can play with and yeah it might stray a bit here and there but fuck it. ) #( blame xenoverse for giving him strange lines of being very patience (but still irritated) or him losing memories and choosing to ) #( *PATIENT. jfc what are my typos today ) #( defend someone he thought saved his life. ) #( his words could have double meanings to them. ) #( he's simple on the surface yeah but lamflsjg my stupid ass always loves to look deeper. ) #( all that to say I just think he's neat and he did his role well as the villain but I want /more/ )

Sorrow is concealed in gilded palaces, and there’s no escaping it.

"I'm fine, big guy."  Leon keeps his still-trembling body still to sell the lie. His right hand is particularly stubborn in his lap, held in the loose grip of his left. X nears with those familiar, heavy footfalls, his white eyes studying Leon so closely all the while that Leon feels his heart begin to pound out of time, pumping hot blood through tender aches, almost more feverish than before. Their eyes are locked, and Leon can't know what X can see in his own but he knows that the intensity of concentration in those milky irises is deadly serious.

Help, people calling rearmed robin just another puppet alt.

Every time I see some variation of flesh/skin bag/sack/puppet, I feel a profound agony in my soul. If you understood the lore— 😭😭😭

(Of course, the lore's like this...

so of COURSE it's confusing, and perhaps not worth the effort for most people to sort through. And yet, I, a Grima Scholar, sit and weep nevertheless.)

#ask #honestly kind of mad that they made rearmed grima keep using the word vessel... #bc grima has NEVER used that word before and now you've got people doubling down on the 'flesh puppet' complaints #but like... it's consistent with her Future Past behavior it just *sounds* a little weird #idk but whatever. i love rearmed robin/grima and i WILL be using lines from her to influence my fic writing #'swallow your sorrow and end their miserable existence' is going to haunt me forever

and before you ask. yes the weapon forms are symbolism. make of that what you will (but also i’m explaining in the tags it’s gonna get heavy tho bc they’re ocs for a game that is essentially Everyone Is Traumatised, That’s Why You’re Here! themed)

#perth.txt #seimei (red)'s flower is kalmia latifolia for its associations w both perseverance & treachery. #his whole reason for being there is ultimately his powerlessness. always trying to do ur best yet in the end nothing u do mattered #this is symbolised by both the fact his weapons are his fists & the fact they're translucent (ie not real) #(in catharsis effect he can only use them for fight related things. his skills are mostly buffs debuffs & heals but he packs a punch) #the rope around his neck ... well. won't dwell on that but also the fact it's formed into wings #& the strings inside those wings that make up feathers #musical person. never managed to pursue that though for many reasons. as for the wings #the whole guardian angel thing. but with the wings made of rope... that again is tied around his neck... mmm #shinya (blue) is his younger brother. he left the house first & did try to provide for shinya after he left #but he still felt as though he had abandoned him (hence the treachery symbolism) #not only that but unbeknownst to him his parents had been intercepting the money he was sending shinya anyway #now shinya... if you know all that u can tell where this is going esp w his flower being white/yellow carnations #ie sorrow & rejection #severe abandonment issues. the claws are both for the cat aspect obv & the fact claws can grip & hold onto things #the fact he can essentially 'double' himself is also playing on the whole not wanting to be alone thing #his attacks don't deal much damage & he isn't big on heals but he can give himself buffs & also like #the doubles allow him to deal a fair amount of damage total #also fun fact! in the real world seimei looks like redo shinya. shinya just took his appearance from a few years ago #his stage name as a musician is SEIMEI. envying his brother for being able to leave & desperately running after him #bc of that though seimei was never really like. convinced by redo at all #yeah he was given a different face & his memories were messed with but it didn't take long for him to recognise his own face on sbd else #however he doesn't know it's his brother. he's kinda concerned about the fact someone seems to Know him that much #god i love these two so much . they're brothers. they're mentally ill (obviously). they're transgender

The full version of the cropped painting.

I’d say it isn’t explicit, but I would be lying.

But I would argue that it’s not pornographic…artistic nudity and all that. But the interpretation and decision is in the eye of the beholder.

So behold!

#the sorrowful children #cw suggestive #artistic nude #nudity #it’s got a message alright #but it would still probably get someone to clutch thier pearls #double helix #wedding dress #red roses

When I am sad, angry, anxious or afraid I go to one of my happy places. Since I can't make it there today in person, I thought I would share it with my friends here as I suspect many of you are feeling some of the same. Enjoy!

Good Omens 2 appreciation post for that moment after Nina has just rocked Crowley's world with the revelation that no, he isn't slick and yes, it is glaringly obvious to everyone just how head over heels in love with Aziraphale he is.

Crowley takes himself off to the french restaurant and is drowning his sorrows in a bottle of wine while having the realisation that he's been following the angel around like a lovesick puppy all day with no other possible agenda other than to be around him.

And then he sees Aziraphale and whistles him over but the angel is too busy to join him for a wine in the middle of the day and Crowley tries to divert questions by complaining that he's scared Gabriel/Jim is gonna smite him and he'll be well and truly smote, no, smoted? Smited? What's the word he's looking for?

And the angel gives him a knowing look and says:

"Smitten, I believe."

PERFECTION.

GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION AND DIAGNOSIS IN A SENTENCE.

AZIRAPHALE JUST READ HIM LIKE A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE BOOK AND DOESN'T EVEN REALISE HE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

This is my new favourite double entendre.

Smitten as the past tense of Smite. And the exact reason Crowley is drinking in the middle of the day.

He's realising he's smitten, your honour.

I hope Neil closed the laptop with a dramatic flourish after writing that line. Hell if I'd written a moment that perfect I'd take a victory lap of the kitchen and then call someone to tell them how clever I'd been before I pop.
