The subways are below the waterline. They have pumps that take care of normal rain flow and leakage. Every once and a while a bigger storm known as a hurricane hits that throws more than the normal rain flow into the system and raises the actual sea level a few feet or yards depending on the strength of the storm which causes the subway system to flood. These gates are designed to keep the rising surge from entering the subway system and overwhelming the pumps.

Ozpin, upon feeling Olivia's pain when Jaune doesn't pop out of the portal from Atlas: "Oh So this is what that feels like... Makes Salem's actions seem understandable."

AU where Oscar is a girl: Olivia is Ozma's first female host and he isn't emotionally equipped for it

So, you know how when you're nearly fully asleep and your brain goes into overdrive for that moment with thoughts about complex problems? I had an episode like that about why the military is having a problem with recruiting. According to my half asleep brain It all stems from the lack of long term housing. Families owning homes typically meant that they could have a sizeable family. With the first born oftentimes getting the house with the second and third born getting some money as well as some other resources to help them when they create their own family once the elder generation passes. But the ones born after that? They typically had to make their own mark on their lives. Often going into trades and such. Not everyone is talented like that so a few end up going into the military to make a name for themselves. When you have a few hundred thousand family units you get a few hundred thousand soldiers every generation. A steady supply of volunteers for the volunteer centered military. Without long term housing families are smaller and typically have just enough to help those born start their lives with the rest being covered by going into a trade or entering the job market as they too will not have a large family. No newborn after the first two or three means that there is no extra mouths for the military to siphon off thus no large pool of volunteers to choose from.

Inspirational Quotes

Jaune: My mom likes to tell me inspirational quotes, things like: ‘Even monkeys fall from trees.’ ‘Don’t explain your philosophy, embrace it.’ Or, ‘Do not make peace with evil: Destroy it.’ Little things like that.

Jaune: Sometimes they are deep ones that make you think about things, or they’re simple things like, ‘let it flow off of you.’ In essence, don’t bother it doesn’t matter. It depended on what had just happened really.

Jaune: But, the one I remember the most was one she said to after I made a mistake. I don’t remember what the mistake was, whether it was something big, or insignificant, but I made a mistake nonetheless. But I remember what my mom said to me. It was: ‘Mistakes make you stronger.’

Jaune: I thought that one was nice. But, I couldn’t help but ask my mom one simple question after hearing that.

Jaune: I asked: ‘Did I make you stronger, Mom?’

Jaune: …

Jaune: She stopped saying those inspirational quotes around me after that.

"Bruce Wayne? The dude's a good guy but not so much a good roll model. Too many kids want to live the high-life like him. Gets them in trouble."

*Cut to Batman helping Alfred tie one of the Robins down on the examination table to keep them and their broken selves from going out to fight more crime*

"How a guy like that can adopt so many kids is beyond me. He's like the opposite of a responsible adult."

*Cut to Batman standing protectively in front of some children while in the midst of a turf war*

"Honestly I feels for the guy. Lost his folks when he was a little sprout. Makes sense he'd be doing all that charity work for kids ya know?"

*Cut to Batman as he blasts open the storage container holding a bunch of street kids being trafficked*

My ideal beginning to a Batman movie:

We start with a slow pan down to Gotham as Oracle narrates

“Ask your average person who Gotham’s most famous citizen is, and you’ll get the same response every time: Bruce Wayne. Everybody’s heard of Bruce Wayne. You’ve probably heard his name a million times before. But there are some things that the average citizen doesn’t know about him. See, to the people of Gotham, Bruce Wayne is a rich kid who never grew up. They think he’s a buffoon, an airhead, a moron. But the truth is…”

*Batman bursts out of a window, screaming, on fire*

*record scratch, freeze frame*

“…they aren’t entirely wrong about that.”

Oz'ma, old and wheelchair bound: "What does it mean? Two girls with green eyes? After all these years?"

Pyrrha: "You bastards, unchain me! You're not going to get away with this! Where's Oz'ma!?"

Oz'ma, chuckling: "This one has fire as well."

Big trouble in little Mistral

Jaune: (pointing to Mistralean writing on the elevator) What does that say?

Ren: (speaks Mistralean) Hell of Boiling Oil.

Jaune: You're kidding?

Ren: Yeah, I am. It says Keep Out.

______

(on the phone with her insurance company)

Yang: *looking at the destroyed bumblebee* I'm gonna tell you about an accident, and I don't wanna hear that it's an "act of God"!

(walking outside in the rain, Jaune and Weiss fight for an umbrella)

Ren: A brave man likes the feel of nature on his face, Jaune.

Jaune: *still fighting for the control over the umbrella* Yeah, and a wise man has enough sense to get out of the rain!

Like I don't get The whole "Jaune caused Pyrrha's death" argument. They're in a dimly lit football field sized room with the elevator on one end, and the machine on the other. Even if Jaune had managed to ignore the agonized cries of his partner, there is no way for him to see Cinder or react to airborne arrow fast enough to save Amber. And that's not even talking about how Pyrrha and Jaune were in the clear and safe from Cinder in the immediate aftermath and had no reason to go after her other than Pyrrha's own ego fueled by Ozpin's flame fanning. Even if anyone else was Pyrrha's partner she still would have done what she did because she believed she was the chosen one to do so

Confession #441

This. But also a lot of us need to keep this in the forefront of our minds because "Trauma (TM)" has a way to make all of us susceptible to seeking out those to blame for it. Be it political opponents, family members, random people, or those we consider enemies. We are not special and our anger and desire to have our form of justice is not new in the scope of our society. The only way to ensure any form of civility and to keep those who have actual physical power over us from abusing it is to ensure that they can't use that Trauma for their own gain by convincing us that the target they chose is the "correct" one.

Luigi Mangione's lawyer is SO good

like, she didn't miss a beat in the arraignment, calling out the police, the perp walk, the mayor...

I hope this trial is televised tbh. i will not miss a second of it if it is

ETA: ANNNNDDD calling out the mayor for not using the word "alleged".. YES!

I get SOO annoyed whenever people complain about the media using the word "alleged", especially when there is video footage of the crime happening... people complain that it's some sort of media bias, and not like... straight up a VIOLATION OF A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT if they don't say "alleged"

The presumption of innocence is a right. Luigi's rights have been violated repeatedly in this regard.

And possibly also his right to a fair trial, since they are creating SO MUCH bias against him

Which Rwby characters would be the best vampires?

Weiss

Pale as hell, silver and mirror motif, high collar and ridiculous outfits. Would look rad carrying around one of this old fashioned pointy lace parasols. Would also look rad with hungry intent in her eyes and blood dripping from her mouth

Jaune: "Hahaha Fear me fools! I have brought Grimm to destroy your homes and drive you out of this valley!"

The Branwen Tribe: *attacking the village getting caught in an unexpected pincer of Grimm and Huntsmen*

Bandit: "AH its a trap! Raven help us!"

Raven: "Screw that. I'm a spinless coward! See ya later, ya smucks!" *Teleports back to her camp where Vernal is waiting*

The Branwen Tribe: *gets slaughtered to the last*

The Huntsmen: *Easily kill the few remaining Grimm*

The Villagers: "Yay! Our hero lured just enough of the Grimm to wipe out the bandits and save our homes. Now we will never leave this valley!"

Jaune: "Son of a -" *Slams his head against his shield*

AU where jaune tries to break away from his family by becoming a villainous bandit but he’s really bad at it and people call him a hero after he saves a bunch of towns accidentally

Jaune: “and now foolish heroes, you’ve been felled by my blade and this village is mine!”

villagers: “he’s defeated the huntsmen!”

jaune: “yes now give in to despair as-”

villagers: “you’ve saved us! you sir are a great hero!”

random woman: “let me have your babies!

jaune: “… fuck! i did it again! tenth time this week!”

I need a new name for my Jaune is a genius AU rewrite. Something that works well with both the time before and after the ever after. If y'all have ideas, i'd take 'em.

Random Fourth Year: "Oh yeah Team JNPR. All us older teams love them. They're just so easy to get along with you know? Like they just roll with whatever comes their way and adapt to it. Prime Hunter mentality right there. Like, there was a mix up one day and that Arc kid wound up bringing his team to our combat class. We mostly use it for self evaluation and stuff like that as Glynda has a lot on her plate and tends to delegate the upper years to a few of the higher scoring team leaders. Anyway these four kids show up, look at all of us and I kid you not sigh in relief. They spend the hour essentially doing what it took some of us years to get the hang of. Don't get me wrong. They're clearly first years. Any one of us could take out that Nikos girl in a fight and don't get me started on Arc. But its nice to see a first year team taking their training and education serious. Not to mention their team administrative duties. If he isn't fast tracked to take Glynda's position by the time he's graduated I will eat my metal leg here."

Interviewer: "And what about the other first year teams?"

Random Fourth Year: "Oh, yeah. Them. We hate them. Ever have those flashbacks to when you were younger and doing something stupid or embarrassing and feeling your toes clench and you have to go work out to get your mind off of it? Well every day is like that dealing with those teams. They all think they're the most important person and act accordingly. Its a curse that not even Headmaster Ozpin can get through to them. But they'll learn." *looks down at their cybernetic leg* "We all do."

Jaune: "Getting adopted by an older team is weird."

Jaune: "Like, the four of us could just be straight vibing, only to randomly get picked up by some third years and taken out for pizza."

Jaune: "Just straight 'You're coming with us now' type of shit."

Tumblr makes sense to me bc if i see something i like i get excited and hit the button to show other people and theres no weird unspoken social conventions my autistic brain doesnt understand. I can literally sit here and reblog 150 niche shitposts about harvest mice in an hour just bc they make me happy and i dont have to explain myself to anyone and i'll actually *gain* followers instead of just being called weird and downvoted or whatever its so cool
