y'know. thought about some unintentional symbolism(?) with my two ocs and the animals they're associated with (and how that applies to their relationships with Ren).
AKA don't mind me, just. rambling about my ocs and whatnot because it's stuck in my head and i need to get it out. this'll only make sense to me, most likely.
Kasper - dogs. xe's a dog beastkin; it's literally part dog. sure, dogs as a symbol are usually used to represent undying loyalty and perhaps submission...but what about feral dogs? dogs with no master, no one they're loyal to? dogs who have been mistreated, who have only known violence? a dog that, when backed into a corner, doesn't back down, tail tucked between it's legs, but instead snarls and bites?
another thing worth noting: dogs and foxes are technically part of the same "family": Canidae. they might not be the same species, but they're pretty close in a sense.
Kas is taller than Ren; they're 5'6", he's 5'1". these two have practically known each other since the beginning; ever since Kas was the unlucky motherfucker that ended up in Strade's basement. in a sense, they know each other better than anyone.
Ren witnessed Kasper rip Strade's fucking throat out with her teeth after stabbing him. he knows Damn Well what she's capable of doing if she's pissed off enough.
Kasper has no interest in submitting to anyone. much less someone who's trying to force that submission. Strade being six feet under (or, well, in a freezer) is proof enough of that.
Kas' only interest is trying to put them and Ren on a similar playing field. a sort of way of saying "You're not any fucking better than me, and it's time you fucking realized that. It didn't work when Strade did it, it sure as hell won't work with you."
so long story short...maybe it's because they've known each other for so long. maybe it's because they know what they've both been through. maybe it's just because they both know (especially Ren) what they're both capable of. but either way...it's a weird sort of respect between the two of them.
now, on the other hand...
Mickey: rabbits. this one's quite a bit shorter. rabbits are timid animals, more likely to flee or freeze than fight a predator. rabbits are also prey to foxes.
Mickey has never been a talkative guy, more fine with staying off by himself or with those he considers close and trusted friends, within his "warren," you could even say. within his safe place. of course...sometimes he wishes to try his luck. sometimes he sticks his head out, just for some fresh air.
and sometimes, wolves come along.
Mickey isn't a fighter. he'll do whatever it takes to make sure he lives, but violence is a last resort for him. he'll run away, he'll stay still, he'll please whoever threatening him. so long as he doesn't fucking die.
in his eyes, death was the worst possible thing. at least if he's alive, he could pick the pieces back together somehow. so long as he's alive, no matter how broken he is, he'll be able to put himself back together.
he was stuck in Strade's house for three torturous months after that fateful night. but he got to know Ren, his only ally in the wolf's den.
but, as docile as rabbits typically are, they still have claws.
and Strade didn't realize that Mickey got a knife until it was too late.
he got a few stabs in himself, and fucked Mickey up pretty bad. but Mickey stabbed him in the neck. and that had sealed Strade's fate.
even in his art, done as a way to work through his trauma, the symbolism breaks through; an injured rabbit, curled up and fearful. it's not in many pieces, but...it's enough to raise some eyebrows.
when he and Ren, years later, meet up again in TPOF, and Mickey's put in the shows, it's almost...unnerving how quickly he fell back into old habits; just do what you can to live. no matter how humiliating, no matter how painful, just endure it. live. no matter what.
maybe it's the fact that they both knew each other so long ago, that they had genuinely been friends long ago (even if BTD2 was still a thing. but we'll ignore that for now), that makes Ren decide to spare him. maybe it's just from where Mickey tried to remind him that...he's in charge now; if he doesn't want to do what the chat wants, then...he doesn't have to. he's not with Strade anymore; no is an option.
but Mickey finds himself being given medical attention, with Ren shutting the cameras off. he....hasn't seen Ren that worried, no, scared in years. not since Mickey had killed Strade.
Mickey, surprisingly enough, doesn't mind staying with Ren. maybe, again, it's because he still views him as an old friend of sorts, even after...all of that. maybe it's some weird form of acceptance he isn't leaving. he doesn't seem to mind much; as long as he can continue his art like normal, he doesn't seem to care. maybe he's genuinely missed Ren over the years.
only Mickey knows...or maybe not. maybe he doesn't understand it either. but either way, the answer is probably somewhere in his mind, whether he knows what it is or not.

Something I've noticed for a while is that Akechi doesn't appear to say that he was in foster care in the Japanese script.
Tumblr media
Akechi おかげで僕は、色んな所を転々とさせられて、まあ、今じゃ気ままな一人暮らしだけどね。 okage de boku wa, ironna tokoro o tenten to saserarete, maa, ima ja kimamana hitori kurashi da kedo ne Thanks to him, I was passed from foster home to foster home. But, I do quite well by myself these days. After that, nobody would keep me for too long, so I got moved about a lot. But now I'm alone and free to live as I choose.
There are a few interesting points here:
おかげで okage de, "thanks to"
Akechi does not specify what or who he's crediting here; the translator has glossed in "thanks to him". IMO it's more likely to be "because of the death of my mother"—the thing he was just speaking of. Shido is responsible, but (at least according to Akechi's flow of speech) he is slightly indirectly responsible.
転々とさせられて tenten to saserarete
tenten to suru, in this context, means moving around often from place to place; living at a lot of different addresses. But note the passive-causative on suru here, saserareru. This is something that was done to Akechi, something others inflicted on him, something he experienced as a profound negative. This was bad. Looking at what he goes on to say later—"so someone would want me around!"—I've tried to capture this with "nobody would keep me".
Also note that tenten to suru, while not usually violent in this "moving about" context, is also a term for e.g. kicking a ball around, which again makes it an interesting choice of words.
気ままな一人暮らし kimamana hitori kurashi
This is a set phrase, essentially meaning "a free and carefree life alone"; it's used, often with a little irony, to describe the joys of living alone, or of being single. Note that Akechi does not mean this—he sounds (JP audio) miserable as fuck, and he's brought this up, rather ineffectively, to try and lighten the mood.
It comes across as "I was alone, and I'm still alone, but at least now I'm alone on my own terms and can do as I please"—which he knows is untrue, and we know is untrue, and Ren and Futaba can surely tell is untrue.
By the way, this quick use of a throwaway stereotype, as if it explains everything—ima ja kimamana hitori kurashi da kedo ne—is one of Akechi's verbal tricks; he becomes laconic in this way when he touches on things he doesn't want to discuss, things that are sensitive to him.
This is how he explains to the others in the engine room that he's illegitimate, for instance—tsumari kakushigo sa, "In short, I'm his secret child", kakushigo ("hidden child") here being a popular term, with no real English parallel, for the secret or unacknowledged child of someone famous or powerful.
You could maybe render his line here as a detached-sounding "but now I'm footloose and fancy-free", for the same effect.
色んな所 ironna tokoro
This is what has been translated "foster homes", but it just means "all sorts of different places":
Akechi 色んな所を転々とさせられた ironna tokoro o tenten to saserareta I was passed around from pillar to post.
So: he was passed from place to place, from pillar to post. Like a pebble rolling on a beach, or a ball being kicked around a field. Do we know what any of those places might have been? No; he doesn't tell us. There's IMO nothing here to suggest that he was in the care of the state—but equally, there's nothing that excludes it.
But Akechi returns to this in the anime, in Proof of Justice—and he is far more specific:
Tumblr media
Akechi だから、母が死んだあとは、親戚の間を転々として行ったね。 dakara, haha ga shinda ato wa, shinseki no aida o tenten to shite itta ne After my mother died, I was passed around my relatives.
Anime Akechi gives us more detail, again with tenten to suru, but he removes a lot of the emphatic force—we gain the detail that he was with his relatives, but we lose that outraged passive-causative, that makes it clear this hurt him—what I've tried to capture with "nobody would keep me for long" up at the top. It's possible, of course, that the difference in tone is to do with the different tone in the two scenes—game Akechi is at a very low point, while anime Akechi seems reflective and chill.
But is this canon? Well, usually when the game and the anime contradict, I prefer the game for its lack of adaptation drift. But there are a couple of occasions when the anime seems to clarify things that were not clear in the game text—and IMO, this is one. Per the game, Akechi was passed from place to place; the anime clarifies that those "places" were with his relatives.
TBH, even the localisation's "foster home" doesn't necessarily imply state foster care; a relative who takes you in is a foster parent. Of course, if you want a backdoor here (which is in no way required, I'm not your mum), he never suggests how long he stayed with his relatives....
does anything in-game support this?
Well, there's one thing in the game that supports this reading, and it's actually on 8/28 itself. Immediately after Akechi says he was passed around after his mother's death, Futaba does this:
Tumblr media
Remember, Futaba already does not like Akechi. She resents him for his pursuit of the Phantom Thieves, even before she suspects him of killing her mother. Yet when he mentions his sad past, she connects with him.
Why is that? It's because Futaba, too, was passed between her relatives—with the results we all know: they were abusive, exploitative and cruel, leading to her being rescued by Sojiro. The game draws an explicit connection here between Futaba and Akechi—suggesting that they have this backstory in common, of being passed between abusive relatives. It suggests we can glean a little more about Akechi's past by looking at what we learn about Futaba's.
And she was rescued; he was not. They both turned to crime to work off some of what they endured—but Futaba retained her moral centre, while Akechi fell off the edge. This is why she tells him what she does in the engine room: "You thought [being alone and not trusting anyone] was enough, right? That part I totally get."
but isn't he just lying his ass off here?
BTW, as to whether Akechi is just trying to ingratiate himself with Futaba (or with Ren) on 8/28—I don't think so; I think he tries, and then gives up after his performative cut-in. We just saw him trying to ingratiate himself with Sojiro—his failure there, at the start of the scene, is what upsets him and opens him up. So far, so good.
Is he trying to get in with Wakaba Isshiki's daughter, to continue his pursuit of her research on Sae's behalf?—the reason he was at Leblanc in the first place? No, because he never mentions it to Futaba, ever again.
What Akechi will do later is stand up for her, on 9/13, protesting Sae's threat to remove her from Sojiro's custody:
Tumblr media
Sae: There have been frequent occurrences of mental shutdowns surrounding Okumura recently. Sae: If only there was a clear connection between him and the Phantom Thieves… Sae: Well, it would be problematic if there wasn't one. Akechi: So you're jumping the gun here. Akechi: You really told a man you would terminate his parental authority based purely on your speculation?
... and notice what he's doing here. Akechi clearly already knows about Sae's threats to Sojiro; she does not explain them in this scene. And Akechi has clearly not questioned her on it, as long as he thinks there's a reason for it. When it turns out there isn't one? He calls Sae out. Because Akechi knows what's it's like to be a child with nowhere to go.
Sure, it's not beneath him to throw Futaba to the wolves—or, ultimately, to try to kill her in the engine room. But he views it as distasteful, as unjustified, and as wrong. He knows gratuitous cruelty when he sees it—and it repels him. He knows the difference between right and wrong—he's just elected to ignore it.
And he expects far better than this from Sae.

I’m so excited for the new story but I’m so caught up in the image of y’all trying to figure out whatever curse or anomaly caused the whole animal hybrid thing, but Haru is just too distracted by how much he wants to hump you. He knew the phrase breeding like rabbits before, but goddamn is he really /learning/ it right now. (The other two feel it too, I love the MC being totally fine while all three are basically in ruts and trying not to mount her immediately (minus Towa. He is not trying to hold back. Idk how he isn’t immediately attached to the MC, nana is already attached without a magical rut))
Just:
MC, living her best life with some cute cat ears and a playfully swishing tail, enjoying the sunshine: la de da da
All Jabberwock boys: if I do not mount and breed her in the next 0.5 seconds, i will kill everyone and everything. (As they grind against anything around them, waiting for their chance to strike.)
👻
👻 ANON I'M CLUTCHING MY CHEST RN
nsfw talk below so minors do not interact please 🫵 and if you don't like this type of content just keep scrolling, remember you can curate your experience online 😙
Tumblr media
Omfg I can only imagine Haru constantly blushing, from his neck up to his cheeks and ears, and rubbing his thighs together while he feels how his arousal just won't let him have a moment of peace 😖 I think he'd do his best not to let his urges be too obvious, but eventually he'd be so fucking horny that he'd be squeezing a hand between his thighs and sweating bullets whenever he came near you... you know what in hell is bad? I'm picturing him just like Phenix, trying to keep his cock from twitching, trying to hide how he's already half mast just by looking at you
Tumblr media
This is Phenix btw lol
He'd look so cute though....... his face all red and trying to keep his whines and moans to himself while walking through jabberwock and feeling the friction of his thighs and his pants on him :( I think he'd do his best not to jerk off because he's so busy! He needs to work!! The dorm needs tending to!!! So he just ends up edging and torturing himself forever, but his composure might break once he sees you </3
Ren though...... he would 100000% jerk off to keep his urges contained 💀 he's a neet, I just know he knows his hands way too well 😔 it doesn't work much though, as soon as he gets a little sniff of you near him, he gets braindead immediately due to the horny LMAO all he can think is about knotting you and having you locked with him for hours on end while he fills you up </3 he's probably the only one that might not act upon his urges though, because he's so freaking insecure that it might actually keep him from trying to fuck you. But if you give him just a little bit of an opening..... oh he's gone. He will be knotting you for as long as that situation is going on :(
AND YOU ARE RIGHT ABT TOWA he just wouldnt try to contain himself 💀 pretty sure he'd just bat his eyelashes at you and pout while asking to fuck you... with a little side dish of manipulation like "Dandelion, you won't be mean, right? You'll help me through this, right? You wont leave me suffering on my own, RIGHT?" and he'd be so insistent too... he'd probably straight up jerk off in front of you while saying that, just to get his point across :/ it's best to just accept his advances because he won't stop :/ at least he can keep you hidden from the other two, since he's jealous and hates sharing soooooo... look at the brighter side??
And let's not even talk about how they could try to satisfy their urges with each other while they think about you (∗´艸`∗)

big post now that the adrenaline is cooled down a bit. thoughts on each team so far.
overall: ohh I really didn't think I would be enraptured again I really didn't think I would be. Like don't get me wrong I'm not one for wanting the series to end or anything but I was very, very happy about the year long break after Secret Life because it was feeling like quite a lot of content to the point where it was overwhelming.
That break was crucial, I think, to the vibes since I don't know if it's just me but the players just feel like they have so much more energy and excitement for the new season. Etho and Mumbo especially are so quirky this session.
The new mechanic is. shrugs. Really no way to judge it yet seeing as we've pretty much barely seen what it can entail. The fact that everyone has six lives though is making me think some of them are gonna be crazy in future sessions cus that's a ridiculously generous number otherwise and I assume Grian doesn't intend for this season to be twice Third Life's length.
EIGHTEEN PLAYERS! EIGHTEEN PLAYERS! Lizzie, Mumbo, Rendog, Gem 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I don't have much to add I'm just so happy we're finally getting a season with All of Them. Rendog Ren Ren Diggity Dawg I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
The lag on the server looks um ..... ? Aternos lookin ass. I hope it doesnt impact them too much beyond this episode and they get that fixed cus whoagh that is um bad. Joel being soooo fucking angry about it is so funny please never change Joel.
~
Renwood Mound: First of all horrid name but I would be disappointed by anything less sexually suggestive. Second of all please check up on your Treebark mutuals this is a difficult time. Refeeding syndrome might just kill a couple of you I'm so sorry.
I'm not a big Ren/Martyn understander but my dash has been more celebrating their reunion than crying tears of anguish like the other toxic rebounds (ethubs, tango, pearl) that have popped up so I can only assume it's going to be okay we're all gonna make it.
If they do stay as a duo this season is going to be crazy for Martyn specifically I think. He's already gotten the betrayal he wants, he's already achieved the villainous role he so wants to play, and now it's just him and Ren together with no Dogwarts to lead. I genuinely have no idea where this one will go. o7
~
BAM Boys: I really hope the "boys" part stays in the name despite Lizzie joining them at the end for my very specific Lizzie headcanons. It would tickle me.
Anyway we're finally freed from the grasps of blue man and get the Scar/Jimmy team up this time with added Lizzie flavour. I'm very excited and like. I've seen a lot of people doubting this team will go far which confuses me because I don't know if you guys are aware but Scar won last season. And Lizzie, despite her early death in SL, really is no pushover either (she had one of the highest body counts in LL and I wish more people talked about that).
Scar specifically is in a great spot with pretty much full diamond armour already. He gets all giddy while mining and says to himself something like "ooh I get to share some with Jimmy!" which is so sweet to me.
Scar remaking the reputation board from Third Life is actually insane. What is he doing.
All this to say I think this team looks wholesome and I'm optimistic for their future. This could be Jimmy's Mounders. Or it could be Fairy Fort 2 idk let's see.
~
I think Bigb's possessed again.
~
The Hobbits(???): Hilarious to me that they stole Flower Husbands' original branding. Anyway Grumbo is back idk if I know them well enough to make a statement but I'm mentally chucking them into the toxic rebound box in my head just to get the number up.
This is the POV I've seen the least of but they seem fun. I wonder if being out of the horrific environment that was the Southlanders will do any good for Grumbo's relationship. Skizz being there also tends to bring the mood up 400% (unless it's Dogwarts).
~
Joel & Gem: IM SO EXCITED. This is pretty much the Bdubs/Joel team-up I wanted originally but now we get Ethubs too which is even more awesome for me. Very cringe take from me but they are both shounen anime.
Despite what Scott says I really don't think they'll "spontaneously combust". They're both high energy and aggressive but historically loyal to the people who accept them, the sample rate for Gem is not exactly scientifically viable but. Vaguely gestures to all of Secret Life.
I kind of wanna see Gem kill Pearl.
~
Whatever the fuck the Ethubs + Tango team is called: Why.
No like seriously Tango I thought you hated these bitches why are you third wheeling them. He's also surprisingly Bdubspilled like he sides with him on the horse thing and tries to warn Bdubs about Etho lying later. Like, don't get me wrong I really don't think Tango has spite for Bdubs comparable to like. Pearl for Scott for example but he certainly isn't fond of him after he um Fucking Murdered Him and was completely unapologetic.
I'm not really a Tango guy so I can't speak on what's going on inside his head regarding that it's just. Interesting to observe. At least the brief ranchers interaction was cute (and really funny to see in the background of ethubs yelling at eachother).
Anyway Ethubs are insane. It's so funny to me that their horse argument literally lasted an entire in game day.
It's fun for me specifically because I always viewed Secret Life as somewhat of a soft end/reboot point for the series for multiple reasons - the year long hiatus, scars win bookending things really well, pearl and scotts arcs wrapping up (oh how naive) and, of course, the conclusion ethubs reached.
I think I've made a post before about how beautiful of an ending SL is for Ethubs. The distance allowing them to overcome their own personal issues with Bdubs learning he's capable and to care for people who aren't himself or Etho and Etho learning relationships don't have to be minefields, leading into HC10 where Bdubs moves into the rural countryside away from everything and Etho hanging out with his new coworkers at the post office. They can still talk and visit, of course, but the time away from eachother does them wonders and adds a bit of hope for how they will be in the future.
So how should I even fucking feel about Etho pulling a Limited Life and almost killing Bdubs for a prank. Or Etho asking Bdubs what he's done for him. Or Etho in general being a little shit about the horse thing and Bdubs being equally stubborn.
Bdubs even kinda?? Talks like they're a couple who've gone to therapy with the "I should express how I feel and how I feel is.." and the way he catches himself when he's halfway through yelling. Like I'm not insane you guys hear it too right.
Like don't get me wrong I'm very stuck in my ways of insisting Ethubs isn't really toxic, at least not anymore, but I can totally see someone else being horrified by them and I would cheer them on for it. This episode is especially going to be horrible for that person. At least for me it seems like Bdubs' character development is very real i.e. him rejecting Etho's chestplate with the classic "I can take care of myself", a stark contrast to LL/DL Bdubs and he bites back when Etho is weird.
I have hope for Ethubs is what I'm trying to say and it's totallyyyy not because they're my first ship and I'm biased. I need to figure out what's wrong with Etho and why he's doing this. I saw a post that theorized Etho wanted Bdubs to get mad at him and kill him this season which I'm rotating a bit but I'll have to keep watching. Ethubs girls we're in for it we really are. Tango girls I'm um sorry.
~
PICS / the Islanders: My 13th reason why.
Trying to not repeat too much here from whatever happened to me emotionally last night but this is what hell looks like. It's what I expected but like. DAMN. I wasn't expecting it to be. That bad.
Seeing a lot of people say that the team is just. Pearl, The Horrors and Impulse who is just 🧍‍♂️and I don't think that's completely wrong or anything however ☝️I must say that Impulse continues to frighten me and him being here is making me personally shake like a chihuahua. Like I can't really explain his character if you put a gun to my head I just think the guy might have some issues communicating emotions and prefers to hold grudges/be passive aggressive like with the psychological horror that was the impdubs DL POV and I can't imagine him being particularly Good for Pearl. Also he's done several insane things in the past e.g. the Bdubs grudge, laughing at Tango when he tries to kill himself in SL, being excited(??) for gem to kill him in SL, trying to kill Skizz in SL wow wait maybe it's just proximity to gem and scott that fucks this guy up. Idk though I don't trust his ass.
Anyway. Yes like we are all Martyn Inthelittlewooding it up for Pearl in here. I have so many somewhat misogynistic fantasies in my head about her being saved by Gem or Bdubs or Joel or Bigb for that matter. Emotionally that's what I would want. HOWEVER I don't think that would actually be anything that would help Pearl in fact I think she'd just run back to her team because she's loyal like that. So now I kind of just want to see the consequences of her actions. Whittle her down to nothing 💥💥💥💥💥It would break me it genuinely would.
Cleo fucking catching herself and correcting "trauma" to "damage" mid sentence is insane can we kill. can we kill them.
So yeah um I'm excited for this season

Who is the most over protective dad!eddie (the one that's more strict than the other Eddie's when it comes to their child/ren ) to the least (he still loves his child/ren, he's just less authoritative)
i think the most over protective would be mafia!eddie just by default. like he's not letting bea out of his sight like ever. she is so under his thumb from the day she's born- even before then. i mean, he had one of the walk in closet turned into a makeshift nursery in his room because he was so scared of something happening.
then i would say maybe older!eddie. i think he was strict with brielle in way of "you can't go to parties" (did she listen? no lol) but he was also the only one who kinda parented her (gina would never) so he seemed more strict. really, he just wanted her to make good choices. with lilah, he's less strict, a little older and more confident and knows more with age.
janitor!eddie is more protective than he is strict. he just doesn't want his kids to have anything bad happen to them ever (unrealistic) especially oliver. he thinks ollie's gone through enough, been exposed to too much and wants to stop anything bad from happening to him again. he gets a little helicopter-ish in that way with ollie and olivia.
i'd say cowboy!eddie is next. really, he's not very strict unless it comes to things that could hurt cooper and the others (do you guys remember coop lol?). he's more so of a free range baby lol but eddie does not play about him being by the horses or the equipment by himself. i think he probably went through a phase when he was three where he'd dash towards the horses because he loved them so much, and eddie screamed at him, purely out of fear, but cooper was so scared of him for a little after. eddie was sick about it, felt like his dad and nearly spiraled, and you had to calm both of them down. really, as long as he was respectful tho and didn't go near anything that would hurt him, eddie likes that he kinda runs wild lol.
i'm saying dead last is rockstar!eddie. i mean, six girls? he's out fucking numbered lol. he gave up trying a while ago, as long as they don't come to blows he ignores it lmao. he is overprotective with paparazzi, especially when they're young, but really always. he used to love paps, love getting his picture taken, smug that he never had to call them that they just followed him everywhere. until he had kids. then if he saw one within a mile radius of his babies, he was liable to go to prison lol. other than that, as long as they're not hurting themselves or others, he's like "do whatever".

saw a prompt thing going around and it got me thinking
{ kylo ren/clan techie }
kylo and hux have a bad time. hux fucks up in some way (according to kylo). idk if they were dating or just fucking, but kylo sets out for revenge. hux's brother is a streamer, which makes him easy to find.
kylo comes up with this elaborate plan to hook up with techie (government name william). it's a great plan honestly, except by the time Techie has become Will, and is willing to meet up with kylo in person, kylo is so head over heels in love, he forgets hux even exists
kylo tunes in to techie's streams. gets a feel for the guy. kylo isn't a gamer, so everything is new. video games have come a long way since the consoles kylo had as a kid.
techie's commentary and demeanor is what makes the stream interesting.
kylo is pragmatic about it; thinks "it wouldn't be a hardship to fuck this guy".
kylo makes an account and follows techie across platforms. same username, same pfp, so techie will recognise him. he begins to interact. makes innocent comments and sprinkles likes across the internet. makes his presence known.
the first time techie says kylo's screenname out loud on stream, kylo knows things are in motion. he sets up notifications, so he can catch as many streams as possible. the streams go on for hours, so kylo has time on his hands. looks up all the things he doesn't know. techie's numbers means he makes a living doing this. hux never said. only mentioned his brother in passing. kylo goes to his dad's place and picks up his old consoles. looks into getting new ones. some of the games techie plays look fun. tuning in is not a hardship at all. it's a rush the first time he makes a donation and techie says thank you.
techie has a schedule, but does occasionally stream outside of it. kylo makes sure he always shows up for those - even at work or at night. those are more intimate. less viewers. techie knows him by name.
the 2nd fase of kylo's plan begins.
he leaves thoughtful comments on techie's socials. the more personal techie's post is, the more care kylo puts into his comments. techie even mentions it, the one time kylo is the first to log on to a spontaneous stream. they chat for a few minutes, until the viewer count gets too high, and techie has to boot up his game.
the plan takes months, but kylo isn't bothered. he doesn't have a whole lot going on in his life at the moment. not since hux broke it off.
one fateful day, techie follows him back. it starts off slow. kylo isn't very active anywhere, but techie likes some of his recent posts. kylo does everything he can to be present. learns how the whole streaming thing works. begins to game himself in his sparetime. even makes a few connections in techie's audience. the process is slow, but kylo finds that he enjoys it. the more experience he gets playing video games and the more interactions he has, the easier it is to be an active part of techie's streams.
it almost feels like a relationship. a friendship. techie is different than hux. he smiles more easily. is soft spoken. way less high strung. incredibly pretty. hux is too, but techie is softer. his hair is long and thick. bright orange like his brother (kylo has a thing for redheads). techie is kind and sensitive.
kylo buys a ps5 and sends off a dm through ig, asking if techie has any recommendations for games. he doesn't expect much to come of it, but they're mutuals, so at least the message should go through. the conversation spans DAYS. techie wants to know absolutely everything, so he can give kylo the best recs. the attention leaves kylo a bit lightheaded.
once the games are purchased, techie continues to want to know everything. does he like the games? which parts? techie is so easy to talk to. he gets so excited when kylo tells him he's the reason he got back into gaming. it was never this easy with hux. the conversation flows to other things. they have a lot of common interests. music, movies, shows, books. everything is so easy. they message each other almost every day. techie greets him by name on stream. his real name. kylo forgets he even had a revenge plot in the first place.
kylo looks up the definition of parasocial relationship.
they don't live in the same city, but when a release event is held in kylo's city, techie asks if he wants to meet up. all his friends are streamers and get their own invites. does kylo want his plus one?
kylo initially says no, but techie convinces him it'll be fun. it doesn't matter that kylo doesn't know everything. techie would love to meet him in person, and it would be refreshing to spend the day with someone who isn't posting about every little interaction or trying to livestream the whole thing.
they meet in the venue parking lot. techie has a rainbow bumper sticker on his car. maybe techie really was flirting all those times kylo told himself he wasn't. things are awkward for all of 20 seconds. talking to techie in person is just as easy as in DMs. kylo expects to spend the day trailing after techie, but techie includes him in everything. he's attentive and explains everything, and is just all over a great guy. also, the flirting is unmistakable in person. kylo doesn't remember the last time he had this much fun.
it doesn't happen while they're together.
as soon as they're back home, back online, the flirting takes off like never before. the intent is clear and cannot be brushed off. they exchange phone numbers, which leads to phone calls, photos, videos, video calls...
hux and his brother aren't close, but hux ends up back in the equation eventually.
at that point, kylo and techie's relationship is so good and so solid, they barely even fight about it. techie is also a little bit unhinged, so he actually finds it kind of charming.

Vampire Dormitory Anime Review
Spoilers Included
Tumblr media
Ok this anime has so much confliction to me in whole I loved it but at the same time it annoyed me. I do think it is worth anyone putting on their watch list though even though for people that fall into being Ren lovers you don't want to get your hopes up will not get you anywhere. This story is based off one vampire saving a girl/boy/girl from dying when she fell by accident when she was contemplating suicide. You go on this path listening to Ruka be a cute blush boy one minute and ridiculing Mito about her blood tasting horrible. He even kept pushing her aside past his own feelings so he could be the king of vampires and be with his one true destined partner. Like yeah he saved, yeah he took her in but come on this should not have been a open and closed love story. I don't get why when you add a second guy to some anime's and I end up shipping the second guy more, this is another anime that has that happen to me. So lets break down the characters then I will go over what burned my ass the most in this anime and what I loved.
Mito Yamamoto
Tumblr media
Such a pretty girl and I do like her as a character she isn't useless. She has her own personality she does get hurt easily but then again I think this is why I like her I can relate. The being alone, falling too fast and getting hurt easily. They need her in an otome game for sure or at least a personality like hers. Anyways she is the main of the story and I'm glad in the end she got a happy ending she deserved it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cute back and fourth scenes with both guys and Mito in the picture were perfect. She looked good with both of them I'm not gonna lie. Although I still prefer her with Ren I guess too each their on in the end. It really is her story though about how she finds love and friendship and a home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruka Saotome & Mito Yamamoto
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I started watching the show for this pairing however I honestly think it didn't last long for me. I mean Ruka isn't a bad guy he just listens to everyone else too much on what he should do and not follow his heart. It really was the only issue I had with him because he is a sweetheart, and is a blushy boy too. He was too easily swayed even when there was a imitation Mito he jumped right to her and even chose to save her life over Mitos'. I'm not sure why so many were against Ren but loved Ruka when he did just as many stupid shit if not more. He broke her heart on several occasions, he pushed her away, he played this pull her in to push away again, and sometimes he could be plain rude to her. In the end not gonna lie the first time he really won me over when he more the less said fuck it all I want her before he even knew it was his destined partner. I loved this side of Ruka he finally grew a back bone and went after what he wanted at any consequence. Ruka isn't a horrible character I do feel like he fits a teenage age perfectly where I feel like Ren is more grown up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ren Nikaido & Mito Yamamoto
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ren stole my heart pretty early on and I think he got the shit end of the deal. So most the show is about him and Mito I swear, cause everytime Ruka is hurting her she runs to Ren. He is like a big brother/best friend trope type for sure. He tries to come off as a tsundere early on but he isn't he just doesn't take shit off people. He is lonely and has been alone most his life just like Mito this is why their friendship I think grew very fast. In a perfect world Mito would have been better off with him he would protect her like know other. However after you get to a point you can really love this man and what they have together the writers fuck it up.
I mean it too, you know when you get a certain character and you get a idea of their personality and stuff is, well this is what you get with Ren you learn who he is and how much he loves Mito whether girl or boy. However writers had to make sure people didn't like the 2nd male lead much more so the last 2 or 3 episodes makes him in to a asshole that turns her into a male so he can try to force her to marry him. This is not or has not been once the kind of man he is. I was so enraged by this, so your telling me a man who wipes away her tears, beats peoples asses that bother her, holds her close when Ruka hurts her...your telling me thats the man that would force something on her...I think not. I will hold to the end Ren is my favorite and I would have gladly took him off her hands to have a real man. OMG and when this man blushes I want to kiss him so bad. I love my blushy boys.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Komori
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now this man likes to flip back and fourth between being the vampire king and a somewhat cute shyish type guy who is everyones boss at his restaurant. Its funny until the end no one realizes this is the same guy. I mean look at this man how can you no tell he is the same lol. Now I can't say I much cared for his attitude as the king though came off like a ass at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takara Kagurazaka
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Takara really isn't anything special he is pretty geeky and you mostly only see him in a group or when he is with Juri on his own. He is crazy about girls but not a one want him. However I loved how he was with Juri always protecting him and even after Juri confessed his love he didn't blow him off. I don't think he is gay but Juri means everything to him hoping to read the manga and see if these two become more would be so cute and so happy for Juri.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juri 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This boy is the sweetest and the cutest like I can't even he has this beautiful little face that makes me want to kiss him. He is much too pretty to be a boy probably prettier than Mito to me and she is a girl lol. Anyways its so sweet to watch him and his little crush on Takara like I don't its not a heavy influence so people that don't like BL won't have to worry but I would love to see a spinoff with him in the BL universe for sure.

* ♪ – quiet when i'm coming home, and i'm on my own
joomi doesn't know if it's better or worse that he still sees jinyoung every day.
it might be worse. somehow, going home with him most days for just a couple months was enough to become something he has to unlearn. some part of him still waits, at the end of every training day, to not have to go home alone.
there's something exhausting about it: the constant expectation and disappointment of going home by himself. when he gets home it's almost always dark, sua in her room, whether she's asleep or awake doing something. he usually just takes a shower and goes straight to bed these days; he needs at least an hour to stare blankly at his ceiling before he can manage to get any sleep. he stays as late as he can at training, too, so desperate to postpone the reality of sleeping alone for as long as he can.
it's pathetic. that's how joomi feels: pathetic. even knowing why jinyoung is distant – even understanding it, he's still pathetic. he's still pining and sad and he thinks he would be fine if he could just hold his hand again. he doesn't even need to fall asleep with him like he used to. he'll take anything.
it's just that he can't help but think about him when he's trying to fall asleep alone. he's being dramatic. he tells himself that over and over, but still can't shake the feeling of being so completely and utterly alone. he tries to remind himself: even if he doesn't have jinyoung, he has the dead calm boys, and ren and dohyun, and other friends that matter to him, but...at the end of the day he's still alone. he's always been alone. it's nothing new, and he was fine for years by himself. why is it different now?
he thinks of that night after next gen, when jinyoung tried to bake away his emotions and they awkwardly sat on the couch together with cupcakes in the oven, and he asked him if he could hold his hand. joomi said something then, about how in his saddest moments, he would've really liked someone to hold his hand. maybe that's it, then: two months of always having someone to hold his hand like he always wanted, without knowing he always wanted it. now that it's gone, he feels it.
tonight, it's like an extra weight on his chest, crushing. he stares at his ceiling and doesn't know if he's ever felt so empty or so stupid. somehow, closing his eyes makes it worse. he can't breathe, and he feels like the only person alive in the entire world. he sits up in his bed, hoping that will fix something. it doesn't.
i don't want to be alone, he thinks to himself. ren or dohyun would probably be fine with him calling them and going over, but he feels bad, and he doesn't want to take a fucking train or bus at fuck-o-clock in the morning while on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
sua is here, though. god, he doesn't want to bother her, but he also feels physically incapable of laying here by himself any longer. so he slips out of bed and out of his room, then just sort of awkwardly stands there in the hall outside.
he could just sleep on the sofa instead. that sounds slightly less terrible, but he really just wants to sit with someone. he doesn't know if he even wants to talk. he just wants a concrete reminder that he isn't alone in this world.
he runs over what to say in his head, and stands outside of sua's bedroom door for far too long. eventually, he gathers the courage to open it.
"sua..." he calls. "i'm, um...kinda going through something right now...and i just...don't want to be alone, i think. will you just...come sit with me for a while?" he is so pathetic. he trusts sua, though; he doesn't think she'll say no.

do you have any star wars opinion u would like to share omg i love hearing ur stranger things opinions and you are so right about them i think it’d be fun to hear your star wars ones. even if you’re not really into star wars like it’d still be funny i think.
+ also my sister has a heart-shaped mini waffle maker and it’s so cute😭🫶🏻 we used to have a waffle maker that got a full clover like 4 hearts that we would separate when we were little. fun tangent to get into but my mom has a Thing for bakery apparel she literally bought so many waffle makers over the course of her life. like i’m saying this for the years i can remember we’ve got at least 6 “new” ones.
(also last thing i promise just wanted to let you know on your ask box title is too long on mobile you can only see the beginning and end with suspension dots in the middle. like you can guess what it says but yeah😭)
ok first of all im so sorry for taking so long but anyway HI i fixed my ask box title thank you for letting me know <3 and omg i have so many star wars opinions idk where to start so i'll just drop some random ones. SPOILERS FOR LIKE THE WHOLE STAR WARS FRANCHISE HERE WARNING.
basically every modern use of luke skywalker in star wars is ooc as fuck. like the luke of the original trilogy just straight up is not the same guy as the luke of the sequel trilogy or the mandalorian. he got bodysnatched at some point.
the prequels are bad like genuinely all three of them are so bad not only as star wars movies but as films in general. if you still enjoy them like sure have fun yknow i liked parts of them but when people try to argue that they're Good Actually that is insane.
rogue one is the best star wars movie outside of the original trilogy. like no contest. it doesn't try to rely on nostalgia or cgi or obvious parallels to the og trilogy, it just tells a story!! this is gonna sound silly but it's good because it's like. an actual movie. the characters of rogue one (ignoring andor which occurred after the fact for reasons that i cannot explain) are generally confined to rogue one and die at the end, meaning that the film was forced to tell a complete story and get the audience emotionally invested enough for the film's ending to feel significant and powerful. which is what a new hope did. because it had to be a good movie in order for there to be more movies in order to make star wars a thing. yknow. anyway.
the force awakens is actually pretty solid as the intended foundation for a new trilogy with new lovable characters and an inspirational story etc but after that kylo ren's whole existence just derailed the sequels as a whole and luke's characterization was so painful i just couldn't stand it. finn should have been the lead of the new trilogy with rey and poe as his leia and han but well. it was probably racism. like i'm not involved personally idk exactly what went down but i think people were just racist.
poe suddenly gaining a shady backstory that runs counter to the everything about him in the force awakens? also probably racist.
also everyone that wants to fuck kylo ren is going to hell no exceptions. sorry to my ex roommate carrie i love her but she's going down. also everyone who ships reylo or reads those tiktok books that are just reylo fic with the names changed? they're going to superhell.
the mandalorian is incredibly competent and entertaining as a show like separate from star wars as a franchise and i think the show is at its best when its engagement with existing characters like luke and ahsoka is extremely limited. not everything has to be about the skywalkers. like star wars is about a whole Galaxy and yet sometimes it feels like it's about a single fucking neighborhood the way the same bitches keep popping up everywhere across all media.
on that note i adore star wars jedi: fallen order and i think one of its greatest strengths is its use of original characters and avoidance of existing ones. like i may be wrong but i'm pretty sure the only character in fallen order that we knew Before fallen order was darth vader and i think that works really well! you go the whole game encountering new villains and allies and planets and stories and then suddenly it's like Oh Holy Shit That's Darth Fucking Vader. it's scary!! it's shocking!!! it's exciting and satisfying!!!! i just love that game so much sorry. cal kestis is my baby and i'm amped about jedi: survivor but i'm also so scared they will ruin him somehow. everybody please pray for my boy.
i'm gonna stop now but i think a lot of my opinions just kinda boil down to like. star wars should not be the mcu. i'm not against spinoffs entirely, i Adore the mandalorian and jedi: fallen order even more than i like the original trilogy, but things really don't need to overlap so much! using cgi carrie fisher for a single scene in rogue one made sense. using cgi luke skywalker for multiple episodes in the mandalorian is just dumb. the way they literally resolved the main plotline of the mandalorian in the boba fett show is ridiculous. star wars is fun and exciting and inspiring and disney sucks and i just hope that the mcu model becomes financially detrimental to them somehow and they pull it back soon.

______________________________________
Appearance and Personality
Appearance: Brendon has rather a tall and a muscular male bodybuild, though it looks rather slender and looks average for a male bodybuild at first. He has long soft snow grey colored hair which ties to an up and down ponytail style on a daily basis throughout his routine. Just like most of his inner beast companions, he too is also born with heterochromia. Pastel Blue colored on his left eye left while light teal blue colored in his right eye as his beast eye. Brendon is mostly calm with his manners though he seems to display a serious gaze.
Personality: Born as the eldest son in his family's lineage within the 4th level district of Revoltion City alongside with Clementine and Hotaru, apparently he would call his childhood rather colourless and full aside from his assassination training from his duties as a heir, apparently he's used to be emotionless and silent within his childhood lifestyle.
But after meeting Chloris back in the past during his those days thanks to his parents and grandfather of letting him having a normal life as a child, he then learns that things weren't so bad as he thought they would be. Alongside that he now has younger siblings to watch over, and in addition of meeting Clementine and her group. Brendon then slowly develop his emotions after the time passes.
Brendon is mostly mature within to the current timeline, though he isn't much talkative towards anyone outside of his circle but mainly he looks a bit cold from a different perspective but it shows that he's only like this is he's being normal and not having an attitude at anyone regardless.
Though he's just calm and collective but rather tends to be silent in his mood, seems to have regular common sense of mind but more in a neutral manner to keep this casual, with his usual group buddies such as Chloris however he's still the same but much more in emotion than being dull. Though he gets annoyed easily from anyone that is, such as from Clementine or Hiromi specifically, but much more from Clementine who often pushes his buttons a lot.
Beware not mess with him too much, because Brendon is the ice that cannot be thawed. Mainly he can control his anger but the look on his face alongside with his aura can explain much a lot that he's in an anger mood, whether it can be good or not but that's has to be avoided. He has dealt with many but wouldn't hesitate to warn some to avoid any necessary messes to be needed.
As one of the heirs within the inner beastial ranks, apparently he's still fun to be with if Clementine doesn't crack his nerves.
______________________________________
Trivia

-Is good friends with Himari though he seems to know a bit about her little 'split' issue that is.
-Knows how to cool off on summer days.
-Can create and sew silk clothing materials, especially on special occasions and events.
-His tone sounds rather neutral and calm whenever he talks, but when being provoked the tone and changes to a low and serious manner. Which is why I chose Natsuki Hanae to be his voice actor.

-Is mostly close with his main family and siblings, plus his grandfather.

God, I dropped this series long ago but if they give Jaune ANOTHER FUCKING THING by have him be related or connected to Salem I just. After killing Penny they shouldn’t even have Jaune be a character in the show, anymore.
It really has become a Jaune specific problem at this point and I say that as someone who likes Jaune well enough as a side character. I’ve enjoyed his friendship with Ruby (her first at Beacon!), his leadership of JNPR, and the benefit he brought to the series the last two volumes when he was allowed to function as support (the questionable way in which he was used—such a turning Ren’s criticisms into a ‘Share your feelings’ talk—aside). Jaune isn’t a bad character, he’s just a character used badly, particularly for a show that’s meant to be about our title girls, as well as one that needs to find a better balance among the rest of its supporting cast. Fans have a lot of issues with Penny’s death, but even when we put those aside we’re still left with, “Why Jaune? If someone had to mercy kill her, why not use her best friend Ruby?” Fans have some concerns about this island side mission, but when you put those aside too, were likewise left with, “Why Jaune? If someone had to fall in with Team RWBY, taking a chunk of time away from their development, why not Nora or Ren? The two characters whose dual development has been stated to need a major separation?” And then, of course, there’s the added issue of these two events (presumably) converging: Jaune has gone with Team RWBY so we can spend time in Volume 9 watching him mourn for Penny. Haven’t we been here before? Cue the worry that, once again, Jaune’s grief will be prioritized over others’, only this time instead of him have a teensy bit of justification for that through having kissed Pyrrha—Ren and Nora absolutely should have grieved more as her teammates, but from a writing standpoint it somewhat tracks that lost love will get the focus—now Ruby 100% had that connection to Penny, not Jaune. Jaune barely knew her. He never hung out with her at Beacon, didn’t spend time with her in Atlas, literally spoke to her once to keep the virus at bay. There is no relationship for him to grieve, which means that any work in that regard will revolve purely around Jaune’s horror at his own actions—which is precisely the kind of angsty focus many in the fanbase are over.
Now take all of this and toss in a, “Oh yeah, if the writers are setting anything up with this fairy tales series, it’s likely Jaune’s connection to the Big Bad which, depending on what exactly that means, could make him the most narratively important person in the group. At the very least, he’d be third, coming in after Ruby’s silver eyes and Oscar’s magic/knowledge.” It’s a problem when three of your four title characters are twiddling their thumbs (literally in the case of Weiss and Blake during the attack on Atlas) to make room for two side characters to forward the plot instead.
There are times when I also wish Jaune would leave the show. Not because I’m anti-Jaune, but simply because it’s clear by now that RT doesn't know how to write him for this kind of show. If they wanted Jaune to be such a focal point—the latest in a long line of warriors, the underdog archetype, the love interest of a prodigy, a villain expressing mysterious interest in him, leading the fight against the whale and the heroes’ first encounter with Salem, burdened with the horror of killing an ally for the greater good—then just make him the protagonist from the start! Or at the very least put him on Ruby’s team and re-work the title. I realize, of course, that none of this is possible now, I'm simply highlighting the problem with making the story about Character A... but continually getting distracted by Character B. I’m not upset that Jaune, as a fictional construct who is quite enjoyable in a vacuum, is getting attention. He’s an enjoyable character. A character who, in a different tale, could be really, really great. Rather, I’m upset that the show marketed itself—and is supposedly still about—Ruby, Blake, Weiss, and Yang, yet I keep turning around to find, “Never mind, the writers really want to write about Jaune instead.”

Chapter 7 Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits, my favourite of this Chapters "Brought to you By" is IT'S YA BOIIIIII...the others are also good but that's one of my favourite memes so I have to choose it. This chapter also has a handy note telling me to pause and stretch and drink water and my first time reading through it was very handy. This Chapters Art gives me the slightest of wiggins
1616 When Shadi got The Chop
I'm getting Sandman vibes....
...Rabbit god?
Oh this dude is fully psycho. I really am getting Sandman vibes
Hmmm Iron......
Welp this is what happens when you fuck around in the realm of Gods
Bakura? Is that you?
Yami negotiating with the opposing sides pieces, whatta King
I'm with Yugi I did not know that Duel Monsters went in for Ren Faire
"PONTAYDO CHIMP" "POTAYGO CHID" I kinda love the Man-Eater Bugs, they just wanna eat Chips
Aw Mahad is confused about potatoes too
The Parasite receives no loyalty from his pieces
Kuriboh is fulled with Murderous Excitement...Kuriboh also knows chess??
Bakura taking the moves before the Parasite can... And It can't get revenge eh heh heh
Oops I forgot that the body is still Bakura's...The Blue Eyes White Dragon is very single minded
Celtic Guardian Riding The Man(And Potato Chip)-Eater Bug determined to be Knighted
The Blue Eyes is running on Spite, so long as the Parasite wants Bakura she'll protect him
...She's trying to hatch him. Aww.
They've Invoked the Hippo again
What is The Red Coat planning over there with that Celtic Guardian??
The Duel Monsters know rock-paper-scissors? I'm pretty sure playing against someone with no hands is cheating or at least unethical
RedCoat you continue to interest me with your vast amounts of knowledge. Who are you?
Welp The Parasite is now even more creepy. He done a murder...I mean honestly he's probably done quite a few but this one was a lead in to even worse things... How'd he get stopped last time?

Have you read Ironside by GodHand96? Do you have the patience to write a review?
I have read nine chapters of Ironside.
...And that was about four more chapters than I should have given.
It's basically a retelling of Volume 7 so far that, as the author puts it, is supposed to make Ironwood out to be smarter and Winter more proactive.
... In reality, it's one long dick slurping. I'd say it's Ironwood's dick that's getting the fellatio but-
"It's just... so good to see them all again!" Ironwood said, the smile crossing his face was uncontrollable. "I was so glad to see Qrow, I actually hugged him!" he beamed there, "I couldn't see myself doing that before, and Penny looked like she was having the time of her life with her friends back! The ace-ops also apologised to Ruby's group with them working together, our forces will be next to unstoppable! Also with you Schnee, ready to fulfil your role as the Winter Maiden, we finally have a chance of beating Salem! and we have Oz back!"
Does THIS sound like Ironwood?
No, it doesn't. He sounds pure. Innocent, blameless. Without fault.
That is not who James Ironwood is. James Ironwood is a flawed man, a man who wants to do good but finds compromise to be a burden and, unable to overcome his flaws, falls into villainy as a tragic but honest depiction of how good people become bad.
Tl;Dr- HE IS NOT BEACON-RUBY ROSE.
Then again, maybe James is still around. There is this character that talks of trust while using underhanded methods to expose people, someone who talks of taking a hit for their reputation for sake of doing what is right. Granted, it comes across less as someone living their life by a 'greater good' philosophy and more like them getting slurped too because there's no awareness to this even as they joke about manipulating others while professing 'Tell the truth' but hey it's at least better than Not-Ironwood-
It's Winter. The author transplanted a WORSE version of James into her and ignores anything that isn't positive to Steelstone.
And of course, the heroes are all portrayed as being whiny, entitled, annoying brats who have no grounds in correcting Lord Steelstone on such trivial things like 'public relations' or 'serving the people you preach to protect' or 'the fucking theme of the show'. The only ones who don't get this treatment are Oscar (mouthpiece for the author), Qrow (rip off of his Volume 7 and 8 character so no credit), Weiss and Ren. ... BTW, did I forget to mention that these characters are treated as siding with Ironwood and the more staunchly anti-Ironwood characters (Yang because fuck you the author didn't watch Volume 7, Blake, Nora and Robyn) are all portrayed as far worse with no real reasoning beyond 'fuck you, I don't like them.'
It's all just so self in-fucking-dulgent. You could not find better examples of Ron The Death Eater outside parody. The original show had the characters split because of their personal experiences creating slightly different variations of the same ideology, crating natural conflict as they naturally repeat the same mistakes their predecessors did. The clash between Team RWBY and Ironwood was one of differing, uncompromising beliefs rooted in the themes of the show.
The difference here is caused by the author emptying everyone out and turning them into meat puppets.
And no I don't care that they've 'admitted' to these issues or say they'll justify them later- This SHOULD HAVE NEVER happened. This stuff is inexcusable. And the refusal to fix these mistakes by justifying them as 'well, at least I'm not gonna kill the characters I hate' is childish. Right up to the fact that the writers DIDN'T HATE IRONWOOD.
This is the delusion that RWBY stans have of Ironwood fans: deifying Ironwood while demonizing team RWBY with no nuance, just blind obedience or else. Just now, it's real.

On the flip side I'm imagining a world where he HAS to get married. Obviously he doesn't want to but to "keep the peace" with Duro and your planet, yadda yadda, he's pissed to say the least. But you arrive, pretty enough to fuck, and knowing you're place, so at least he can take advantage of that. Plus he's getting closer and closer to becoming King so he's gotta have children. So each night he tries to knock you up, and you make the best noises, so maybe this marriage isn't the worst thing. You're so pliant and soft and warm, maybe seeing you pregnant will be worth it.
18+ ONLY- NSFW
Oooooooooo damnnnnn you got my brain churning lol
Cad detested the idea of marriage. He hated every piece that came with it. Not only was the wedding bound to be an entire circus, but he would be locked to this one person for his whole life. He didn't want this and he refused every suitor... until he couldn't any more. His parents, unbeknownst to him, forged an alliance with another world -your world- and in order to keep the marriage strong, you two would need to wed. You had agreed - as the second-born child, you knew that you would never see your own throne, and this was your royal duty. But Cad fought tooth and nail... until he saw you.
You stepped off your ship, dressed in your best, and Cad's eyes went wide. You bowed respectfully, praising him and telling him that you would be a good spouse. You were fertile and he could tell. But better yet... you were compliant to his will. Perhaps this whole 'marriage' sham wouldn't be too bad after all.
The wedding was not long after, and as he was undressing you after the reception, Cad muttered:
"Dey'll want a child from us."
"I know." You nodded, your gown falling to the floor. Cad's lustful gaze swept up and down your form, and before you could speak, he had pushed you down on the bed. Your gaze met his, and your breath hitched. "Let's not disappoint, den."
As he fucked up into your drooling cunt, he couldn't help but feel a surge of power. With you at his side, he'd make a powerful king. And, he noted as a hand swept over your belly, you'd make a lovely pregnant person. How beautiful would it be to see you bear his children?
Maybe, just maybe, this was not so bad after all.

What a good V8 finale would hopefully be:
(For me at least lmao)
Otherwise known as actual in depth hero/villain relationships AU.
Ok so hear me out for half a fucking second: it's pretty clear the only villain the main characters actively have a grudge against is tyrian and that's not even team RWBY, it's Qrow.
And okay that's fine I guess.
But the cast is steadily increasing and it's odd to think that every character cares about Jacques and Cordovin but nobody actively gives a fuck about Watts. Sure they'd kill him if they saw him but he's not a worry for them unless he's right infront of them.
I can't tell you straight what the finale is actually going to look like because boy Volume 8 has been unpredictable and also kinda ridiculous. It's definitely what post episode 4 me was hoping for and I'm not dissapointed but I think I can figure out something cool before we get to anything.
Bear in mind this is written with no knowledge of the second half of the season so I have my clown makeup ready and realistically these are more what I wished would happen then what is actually going to happen.
Shit this might get close to a fanfiction if I think about this too much um ok let's get started figuring out what's gonna happen to who...
Ok so we have Penny on Amity. Remember this is before episode 5. I had no idea what was gonna happen but I think the fight was pretty good. You know what would have made it better? If that cliffhanger was a season finale 👀. Amity launches in episode 5 exactly as intended, even including Penny getting hacked, just lets cut out the fireball scene. She crash lands at schnee manor as we see in episode 7, whatever the fuck happens from now on hopefully happens smoothly, Penny gets back to Amity, unhacked. This is where Cinder shows up with Emerald and Neo. However Emerald being clingy and an absolute simp, Cinder sends the girls away so she can deal with Penny in peace. The fight plays out, a lot more dramatically because Penny starts with a lower Aura due to having presumably fought something else after being hacked. Also, she notably recognises Cinder immediately and tries to talk her down. We get a better contrast after Cinder's backstory about control. Cinder even tries to convince Penny to join her. It ends when Cinder strikes Penny hard and she falls out of the sky in a fireball, whispering "I love you" to Pietro. The only real changes here are that the fight is later and Penny is pissed at Cinder for repeatedly coming back.
Team Rwby and Jnr have reunited. Jaune explains the Oscar situation to Rnbw and they split up. Rnbw, having failed to stop Ironwood decide to find team Jyr, who aren't doing great at protecting mantle, to form a new plan. They go back into their regular teams (I'm sorry I know the interactions between teams are minimal at best) and team Jnr go to Mantle. Nora has scars still. I don't know if this means she has a new power or not yet but it doesn't particularly matter. In Mantle, they find themselves at the location of Oscar's kidnapping. Long memory is on the floor still. This is where Emerald and Neo show up, having flown away from Amity. Nora sees them and starts yelling about how they have Oscar and she will kill them both if they don't give her her son back. Emerald tells them that she doesn't want to fight them, but Neo is already in a fighting stance. Ren, using his semblance to see that Emerald genuinely doesn't want to fight (just made that bit up on the spot), takes to fight Emerald in order to try to redeem her. Nora and Jaune go for team attacks on Neo. They're doing pretty bad, because we want to keep Neo's strength consistent. Nora gets plenty of strong hits through anger, but Neo retaliates by obliterating Jaune. Nora, who was already mad at Neo for hurting her son, now has a personal grudge against her. The tide is turned when Emerald uses her semblance to help take Neo down. They grab long memory and head for the ship with Emerald, who wants to redeem herself by helping the team find Oscar.
Oscar however, has taken to more drastic measures. He has been using his time alone with Oz to train himself to use magic (and listen to Ozpin give team strq flashbacks please??). Hazel returns. He had intended to try to help Oscar (and tbh I hope he does in the actual show), but after seeing the child practicing magic, he decides not to. He intends to do his torture thing again, but Oscar activates his magic to block the attack. Fight commences. Oscar intends to wear Hazel down before trying to redeem him. Hoping this will be volume 5 done right. Also, I want Oscar to begin the fight, instead of Hazel. We already know Hazel is Invested with Oscar, this is him showing he's not afraid of him. Potentially, during the rest of the season, we see Ozpin teaching Oscar fighting techniques designed specifically for Hazel. We also see switches during the battle, where the fighting goes from magical, to quick paced cane work as Ozpin takes control. I don't know how I want the battle to end though, I think it would be potentially better of he lost idk??
Tyrian and Mercury are not heading to Vacuo. They have been given Cinder's task of breaking Watts out. Penny has been hacked, but rather than meeting Cinder again at the vault (which I presume is going to happen at some point), she finds Winter, who helps her escape. Genuinely the canon of this is kindve all over the place, I take criticisms. Anyways, Tyrian is sent to meet Watts, unaware Penny has already left the vault. But instead the duo are met outside by Qrow and Robyn. Marrow came to fetch Watts for Ironwood, but the good boy is defecting and let the birds Go too. Qrow and Robyn intend on finding Rwby then killing Ironwood, but find Tyrian on his way to Watts first. Queue Qrow Vs Tyrian and Robyn Vs Merc, both of which should be close matches. I could be evil and say Robyn dies here because why fucking not but actually I don't like Robyn remotely so I'm going to kill her either way. I dunno, Robyn gets stabbed by Tyrian, Qrow absolutely loses his shit and stabs Tyrian, Mercury bolts for it. Bout time Tyrian died. I love him but he's run out of things to do. There's no way this is ever going to happen tho so whoops.
K so um should kinda be self explanatory from here. Ironwood is with Watts, Rwby is going to find Ironwood to ask him to help them find Oscar, Ironwood tells them he shot Oscar, Rwby loses their shit, team Rwby Vs Ironwood and Watts. More importantly, Ruby and Yang are working together to take down Ironwood, Ruby working long range and Yang turning his strength against him. Weiss and Blake (who like never work together) go against Watts. Weiss seems to have a personal grudge against him for manipulating her family. Watts also tries to connive Blake by saying Salem accepts all faunus (nuts and volts, eat your heart out) but Blake is clearly having none of it. She doesn't hesitate for a second. They take out Watts by immobilising him and stabbing him. The team try to talk to Ironwood. Doesn't work.
That is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done. But that's five fights that would make a kickass finale. I don't think there's any continuity between them either lmao whoops.
I was also considering Marrow and Harriet Vs Elm and Vine. But I have no idea how any of these would go anyway I'm not a writer. If anyone wants to add something comprehensible onto this mess, please.
This of course started brewing during episode 4 ish, before canon messed it up. So um I wish.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I got so obsessed with this for a while I drew this thing out on my phone by fucking finger please help.

Lola & Astrid
Lola: [come in to get your tattoo then, which is on the back of her neck/shoulder blade moment which isn't the worst but I think it vibrates on those bones pretty hard, also the embroidery technique/colour will make it worse/more time, overall vibe a sassy, confident bitch but lowkey nervous on this tattoo] Astrid: [I like to think she's already in there and probably has been for hours because whether it's big or small on this occasion they obvs let her stop whenever she wants and for as long as she wants cos they know her so we just chilling with the dog BFF who goes everywhere with her lowkey and both having a drink of water casually so the dog can go up to her like hey gal] Lola: [have loads of pictures of her with dogs and cats, so gonna say we're an animal hoe and gonna be extra over this lil dog then AFTER you've stroked and loved upon it 'Shit, I've not distracted it, have I? I'm so sorry' like when you aren't meant to with blind people service dogs] Astrid: [just straight up talking to this dog like she's a person like are you okay, do you wanna go and the dog's like nah I'm fine by giving a Lola a toy or something like I think we should play with this gal] Lola: [straight up throwing this toy like we aren't in a tattoo shop like please be careful, probably getting told off by a grumpy tattoo dude and just loling like whoops 'cos the kind of carefree hoe we are 'what's your name?' but we are talking to the dog] Astrid: [being like 'did you forget we like rules?' @ the dog as if she caused this trouble herself and full naming her like a cross mum but we not cross we're more playful about it because autistic bants] Lola: ['so distinguished, suits you madam' and shakes her paw, then touching one of Astrid's leg tattoos as is clearly ground level with this dog rn 'that's gorgeous, how many do you have?'] Astrid: [when you an affectionate af person but you don't know her like that so then you can't answer that question and she must think you're being so rude sorry gal, but let's say the tattoo person answers for you cos probably did most of them but not all so gets it wrong so then you have to answer whatever the right number is] Lola: [you really shouldn't grab people but that's the kinda hoe you are so that's the vibe lol, undeterred but do let go of her leg thanks, just talking about ALL the tattoo ideas you have] Astrid: [at least you can likewise go off about that babe because they are literally another thing you collect/comforts you and makes you feel safe so like you always wanna get more, try not to actually talk over her and listen but it's okay if you do, she'll get over it] Lola: [just listening intently anyway and bowing to her superior knowledge on it 'cos you wanna get more even though you have yet to start this one and are gonna be sobbing in a sec lolll, very seriously turning to the dog 'Winnie, will you hold my hand?' then turning back to Astrid and rolling her eyes 'my girlfriend was too shamed to be seen with me'] Astrid: [just going OFF about aftercare too before she's even started this tattoo because as far as you're concerned there is only one right way to do it and everything else is wrong and a huge no, the grumpy tattoo dude from earlier who Lola's gonna end up having is just gonna try and be like nah she's wrong, this this and this is fine but shh sir tbh. The dog just grinning through all this cos she's buzzing about the energy 'She's not ever going to be heavy enough for proprioceptive stimming but it's still calming when she lies with you, she's soft and she smells nice, does that make sense?' her confused face when she then doesn't understand what she means about her girlfriend not wanting to be here though like um why] Lola: [just ignoring the man like the true lesbian you are, be careful girl, nodding 'total sense, Miss Winifred is a vibe' and giving her an approving sniff like yes 'it smells like bleach in here' probably a good thing babe but we're not happy lol 'ugh, 'cos she's so tough and I'm going to embarrass her' shakes her head like oh girlfriends] Astrid: [repeating back to Winnie that she's a vibe because you like the sound of that thank you but whatever you're gonna say about how it smells in here is interrupted by grumpy tattoo dude complaining that it's because Astrid always has to OTT clean up the station etc and blah before they start, like don't out her like that sir and don't be a dick so we're not happy about his vibe rn] Lola: ['you should be happy she's doing the hard work for you' even though we were the one complaining about the smell, we're not about it] Astrid: ['he's not a happy person' hahaha suck it sir] Lola: ['that's so sad, what happened?' oh gal] Astrid: [just telling her this dude's life story like he's not right there because we don't understand sarcasm bye] Lola: [when you weren't even being sarcastic but you were not expecting her to reply and you know he's not gonna be thrilled so you put your finger to your lips like shh but smiling at her so she knows you aren't being a dick like stfu] Astrid: [being like oh do you want some quiet, like offering to get them to turn down the music they always blast in tattoo places] Lola: ['can we change the station?' like this rock shit is not a #vibe honey and getting out your phone and aux cord from your bag] Astrid: [just like 'it's not a vibe [name of your tattoo gal] can we change it to a vibe?' because we're saying vibe now and obvs this woman will cos she's a good egg] Lola: [putting on your femme gay girl bubblegum pop playlist like every other person in here/grumpy tattoo man is going to be taking the piss but we aren't aware 'cos we're that bitch and just dancing around like it's the clerb] Astrid: [Astrid and Winnie are vibing, picking this dog up like do you wanna dance lil queen as if we're not in the middle of a tattoo sesh] Lola: [hyping them up in a very yasss queen manner and then getting interrupted by this dude being like are you done pissing about and just twerking at him like mwah 😘 as you climb your ass up onto this bench, then being like 'WINNIE, I NEED YOU' very dramatically with grabby hands and all, this man like oh my god] Astrid: [we're loling at her antics and then putting Winnie on her lap because this angel will look after you gal so we can finally get some more of our own tattoo done] Lola: [good incentive not to drop this dog or shriek in her ears gal, 'cos gonna be so OTT about this pain obvs, all of this painting a picture as why your butch tatted gf did not wanna be here, just 🥺🥺🥺 at Astrid 'does it hurt you?' 'cos gf popping off like it doesn't which is a lie like when people say childbirth doesn't like admit it even if you can hack it] Astrid: ['not as much as other things' because we matter of fact about it instead of being like her girlfriend and pretending nothing is happening here] Lola: [we aren't really listening anyway just talking to talk here 'beauty is pain'] Astrid: [just repeating that like

question until we get one that's okay here] Lola: [reaching over like hey it's okay 'I'll work it out'] Astrid: [just like oh yeah I do live with my dad btw after ages has passed and she's probably forgot she even asked but we needed a sec there] Lola: ['what's he like?'] Astrid: ['he's weird but not like I'm weird, just not how everyone says a dad should be-' trying to find a way to word wtf Drew is like lol 'he doesn't like rules or keeping things clean oh and he's a really shit driver who plays music too loud and he dresses too young'] Lola: ['sounds like every dude I've ever met' lols,
