characters whose philosophy is “if i cannot be wanted, i will be needed and if i cannot be needed, let me be used until there’s nothing left of me.” thank you for everyone’s attention. falls off stage and dies

Worm is cool because the MC has too much executive function to be able to function.

The Asshole Cop Authority Figure she’s beefing with for the first part of the story at one point picks her up by the scruff of her neck and tells her to “Stop it. Stop doing things.” and the audience is like “completely valid response to this weird child and her numerous warcrimes”.

so it turns out that time actually does go by faster as you get older. just like how adults told me it would when i was younger. pisses me off

“Elphaba lays down and Fiyero quietly lays next to her, wrapping his arms around his wife, gently humming a tune. He can feel her shiver, no doubt her head still reeling from the encounter. He does his best to comfort her, assure her that she is safe.

Fiyero then feels Dorothy’s hand grab his own. They rest against Elphaba, keeping her close, calm.”

This is the WIP of the recap so far, I hope to lock in and finish the rest eventually

I’ve experienced heterophobia once in my life, I guess, to some degree. I was told to my face that the only good man was a gay man or a dead man. Because apparently I was only valid if I was gay She had something going on and was drunk and probably more misandrist than anything. But still. It’s…dumb. Any phobia or prejudice exists out there for any reason. Some are just more prevalent than others.

Believe it or not, I also had a student tell me once that killing a white guy for being white wouldn’t be racist because it’s a white guy.

This isn’t meant to be the straight guy crying foul. It’s more of an anecdote that individuals in a minority can be just as bad as the ones oppressing them if they aren’t careful.

(I feel like I have to disclaimer that I truly care about the treatment of minorities, but I’m not going to excuse minority members for being shitty people.)

Listen, I get what you mean but also... A member of a minority being shitty doesn't mean you are being actually oppressed. A random person making an unhinged comment does not mean reverse racism is suddenly real. Not even misandry is actually a real problem outside small circles, most of them online. Or homophobia. Prejudice can be found anywhere but homophobia, misogyny or racism are more than just some prejudice and an unhinged comment. It's something that gets lives in danger and that affects millions and millions of people negatively every day.

Absolutely no white person is ever going to experience the level of unfairness POC go through every day just because they're not white. Absolutely no cishet person is going to get kicked out of their home for being cishet, they're not going to be beaten to death for holding hands with their partner or just existing and wanting to live with their actual gender identity, no one has ever been sent to prison or sentenced to death for being cishet. And absolutely no cis man (and I'm including gay men, too) knows how much misogyny can hinder a woman's life, her career, how she's seen by society. Sexism affects men too, mind you, but believe me, considering that just in my country over 1300 women (and a bunch of children, too) have been murdered in misogynistic crimes in the last 22 years, I would say women maybe have it a little bit worse when it comes to the oppression.

I don't think at all that all cishet, white men are inherently evil, I'm not an idiot and generalization is wrong, aside the fact that people from minorities can be bigots toward other minorities. But again, no one is ever oppressed for being cishet, white or a man. A shitty comment from a rando doesn't mean knowing what being oppressed is like.

Random thought that came to mind while doing other stuff. Ended up spending way too long on it.

Hey did y'all ever think about that if doctors blame all fat people's medical issues on them being too fat without proper investigation and then feel justified in neglecting their medical concerns, then statistically more fat people WILL develop and potentially die from serious health issues and it might not actually be because of the fat when everything comes down to it

RWBY Analysis: semblances reflect a major struggle within the character

-Hazel’s Numbing Agent to repress pain doesn’t work to block out the emotional pain of losing Gretchen, nor does it stop him from taking damage especially via his self-inflicted Dust wounds, paralleling the self destructive choice to side with Salem

-Tyrian disrupts Aura just as he disrupts order 

 -Neo’s Semblance allows her to appear like other people, as she has always struggled with her sense of identity… Neo’s semblance is a direct link to neglect and underdevelopment. Being isolated most of her youth she began making her own “friends”  in the form of imaginary ones. As she had an undeveloped voice box her semblance took a “mime-like” approach where she voiced herself through it.

-Neptune’s Semblance allows him to manipulate his biggest fear, water, but he is letting that fear consume him rather than taking control 

-Mettle puts Ironwood into a tunnel-vision mindset to achieve his goals no matter what, reflecting his “I know what’s best” downfall

-Harriet’s speed reflects her acting irrationally, and sometimes too quick for her own good, automatically taking orders at face value without taking the time to consider their consequences, opposite Marrow who would opt to slow down, akin to his Semblance

-Maria’s Preflexes allow her to ‘see it coming’, only for her to lose her actual seeing ability 

 -Marcus Black put an end to Semblances, much like he would put ends to lives, only for his own life to be ended by Mercury, who he also ended the Semblance of

-Sienna’s Grudge makes things go better for her when things go poorly for those around her, reflecting her desire to improve the White Fang by being more violent

-Fox’s Semblance lets him create a private communication with the rest of CFVY, letting him find a connection to this new family after losing all of his old one

-Nora’s ability to power up via lightning strikes reflects on how she acts bubbly around everyone else, but much like the recoil damage the lightning does, she’s very insecure and a bit self-destructively impulsive (in that she’s VERY willing to jump into danger) underneath.

-Ruby breaks herself apart in order to move as fast as possible and carry others

-Weiss’s is hereditary and represents her struggle asserting her own identity

-Blake leaves behind versions of herself while attempting to dodge the pain, and reflects her fear of others getting hurt in her stead 

 -Yang has to endure pain and take hits in order to come back stronger, reflecting how she’s had to carry the burden of her family since childhood

-Pyrrha attracts others but at the same time can’t get close to anyone (they always keep a bit of a distance) 

 -Ren represses his feelings

-Jaune had to accept not being the hero but being a support character that lifts others up instead

-Adam lets others get hurt for his own gain 

 -Qrow loves others but his history won’t let him get too close with them 

 -Meanwhile Raven has the opportunity to be with loved ones at any time, but chooses not to when it’s practically screaming at her to do so

-Emerald sees things that aren’t there (Thinking Cinder loves her) 

 -Cinder was put under so much pressure and was re-molded into a deadly weapon… Cinder’s being called “scorching caress” as a reference to how the people who were supposed to love her only brought her pain
