That's a very strange turkey...

ATTACK

[strqyr]

you most likely talked about this, but given that in Beacon, teams are also separated into duos of partners (ruby&weiss, blake&yang), who do you think got partnered up in STRQ? (assuming that this buddy system was already in place during STRQ days)

i know i'm going against the tide with this one, but: summer & taiyang, raven & qrow. for few reasons.

one: the boy meets the warrior in a forest, and says he fell for her the moment he saw her silver eyes <- this is a story tai relates to, and eye contact is beacon's manner of forming partnerships.

two: as fun as all the "qrow's semblance gets in the way of him partnering with raven" scenarios are, i really don't think there's anything that would get in the way if raven wanted to partner with qrow (which i think she would) + qrow, who thinks his semblance makes it difficult to be near his family, would likely see partnering with raven more as a bad luck than he would partnering with some stranger.

and three, and this is what it really comes down, for me: i really do think the emotional core within strq is summer reuniting with tai, and raven reuniting with qrow. like the twins smiling at each other in the epilogue? that's the emotional goodness right there after everything they've been through; the disagreements, the fights, "we're not family anymore"s, learning the truth, finally reaching some sort of an understanding, to standing side-by-side once again.

and while there's less for summer and tai, they still included that scene in the flashback. they could have had summer sneak out with tai none the wiser, but they didn't; instead, summer promised she'd be back soon, and tai answers with a resolute "i know" (and he's still waiting, hoping against hope for her to return) ("no, come back!" <- when ruby's message gets cut short at the worst possible moment, tai's reliving the past right there).

idk really how to explain it, but there's this general feeling too that's like... if i had to split strq in two halves, summer & tai / raven & qrow makes the most sense to me. like, that's where the story is, not to say there isn't any story between anyone else, but especially qrow is like. who else do you partner him with? he doesn't really have anything to do with summer or tai emotionally story-wise, so if partnership is meant to be this Special Bond between two people, with what the show has presented us with, that really just leaves raven.

then there's also the fact that summer & tai went on oh-gods-another-patrol missions ("i think he misses adventuring with you." t. ruby rose) while raven & qrow went on spy missions (probably not on same ones, but i bet they still communicated what they were up to bc that's what intelligence gathering kind of requires). would ozpin separate partners like that? who knows. maybe? would be kind of rude though lmao

...it also makes the naming convention of RW | BY and ST | RQ the same, which doesn't necessarily prove anything, rather it's just a neat little bonus on top :)

(this got longer than i thought lol apologies for rambling OTL)

You got it!

The day had been long, deplorably so, between the voracity at which she trained and the cosmic levels of solitude she felt during the lit hours, Cinder was ready to collapse in on herself. Even the books she made active use of devouring line by line and page by page were escaping their intrigue today as she laid back in one of the mighty seats of their apartment.

Dog-earring a red cover bound book and tossing it aside, its form clumping into the folds and leather of the couch beside her, Cinder turned away towards the main room’s window. Although it was midday, it was difficult to tell, a mighty snowstorm which blackened the skies in sheets of white and ice barrelling down against the buildings. Harsh sounds of whipping cold sounded like a whip cracking against the thickened windows and structure, that alone would have Cinder curling up upon herself as she was now. Knees to chest and arms, prosthetic and not, clutching tightly at them for just an ounce of security though even that proved faulty.

However when another racket joined the grave whips of snow, Cinder spun around to their door, as the noise of lock and key turning brought heat to her chest.

Groaning was the next thing she heard, alongside the lumber of thick soled boots, “Urgh!” Rang out in terrible annoyance. “The roads are a nightmare, forget it, I will be working from here today.” Winter did her best voice work when she tried sounding venomous, but in this moment she sounded all too tired to be more than annoyed and exhausted.

“Is the coffee still warm?” Winter called out as she turned her back for their hook, not noticing the somewhat rampant noises of house shoes on hardwood behind her. “I do not care what the programs say that chill is as bad as the snow-!”

Her voice caught in her throat just as she managed to hang her coat, caused by the hands and arms of growing warmth which currently ensnared her middle. Blossoming hot air near blistered her frigid nape as Cinder’s lips precisely found the corner of her jawline; it forced a gasp through Winter all the same.

Stinging hot as her lips left, Cinder could only smirk at the corner of Winter’s surprised eye. “Was that truly necessary? I feel like my heart is going to bound from my chest, Cinder.” Turning within the rather tight hold enough to put them front to front, Winter’s red hued glare did little to dissuade the touch of excitement within that golden eye.

“It was desperately needed, Fräulein.” her voice curling into a lull as she inched herself closer to Winter.

Blustering slightly at the title, Winter rolled her eyes with force. “At least lock the door before you make me miss my morning events?” A stray low kick sent the door quickly to close as a soundtrack of throat drawling laughs inched onto frozen skin once more.

🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?

Honestly, I think I only struggle with smut for the sake of smut. Like, I've tried before, but I end up getting tired way too fast lol

💯 — share three random facts about yourself that your mutuals may not know about you.

When I was a kid I almost set a synthetic carpet on fire because I wanted to see how the fur would burn with a lighter.

I used to steal the chalks from class when I was in elementary school.

My birth name is pagan to the Church, so when I was baptized they forced my parents to choose a middle name for me.

I was tagged by the effervescent @firewoodwander (thank you len!!)

Eyes linger where he walks for more reasons than one but chief among them, you know, past his rank and station, is the easy curl of his smile, the curling waves of his hair, the inviting lines of his ocean-blue eyes.

As always, my long sentences know no bounds <3

WAHAHAHAHAHA

SUFFER WITH ME, NEO >:}D

fr tho, toga should have lived 😞

I still think Toga should be alive, like, girl survived having blood she consumed exploding inside when going against Curious, but she died from a, 'blood transfusion'

like wdym that was worse?? IT WASN'T? Like I'm 100% sure she could've recovered from that

we were robbed, and I also think it could've been important to have her survive, help Ochako with the Quirk counseling project, and even maybe be an example of someone who managed to recover despite her early life

[strqyr]

forgive me if that already came up (my feed is flooded lol)

but what do you think of Lewis/Louis=Jabberwalker?

Jaune believes Alyx traded him for her exit, the Jabberwalker is different from the Afterants in so far that it can destroy them and its face reminds me a ton of Raven's Grimm mask (with the implication that both the mask and the Jabberwalker are modeled after some type of Grimm. or the mask is modeled after the JW, but i doubt that)

so did answer another ask yesterday about this topic—though that was about alyx = the jabberwalker—and i found the possibility of.. anyone, really, being turned into the jabberwalker on the account that 1. the jabberwalker appears in alyx's story early on, and 2. the cat seems to be certain that remnant folk don't ascend like afterans do.

however, having slept through the night and spared some more braincells to thinking about things other than summer rose, i'm willing to reconsider the possibility that one of them—either lewis or alyx—became the jabberwalker once they got to the tree; if the tree doesn't cause remnant folk to ascend the same way as afterans, to whom ascension is a natural process, then what's to say it wouldn't either 1. have a corrupting effect on those not from the ever after (when we first saw the jabberwalker, they were seeking for something, and they also want to fix something; is it themselves that they want to fix?) or 2. ascension, while natural, is a bad thing to happen to someone who isn't sure who they are and what they want to become -> the cat prevents herb's trial for ruby from completing bc it wouldn't have turned out great for ruby, perhaps?

what i find curious too is that blake keeps referring to the jabberwalker as a jabberwalker, while the cat uses the jabberwalker. idk if it really means anything, but if the book only talks about one—and according to jaune, there's supposed to be only one—then why leave the door open for more with 'a jabberwalker'? that aren't. ya know. just clones made by neo.

either way, the story is just a story, and clearly has an unreliable narrator; since alyx and lewis supposedly would have faced the jabberwalker before they met any of their other companions, it's possible that it. never happened, or that it did happen, just not when the story says it did; perhaps whoever wrote it took the fight against the jabberwalker that actually happened at the end of the story and moved it to the beginning to obstruct the truth. to have a nicer, more happier ending to the story.

Just finished the first two episodes of Arcane (thank you @annafall for giving me the push and sitting down to watch them with me, love you)

And god damn, it’s really, really good so far. The art style, the lore drops, all the shady dealings under the squeaky clean surface of Piltover.

Also, love Powder, she’s great, I hope nothing terrible happens (words of someone who knows too much)

Charlie's red eyes were everywhere, following every reaction from Roxxie, just in case, specially after the bottle was thrown against the wall, although she tried to relax her own shoulders despite the contained anger she could feel coming from the other.

She wanted to speak aloud and ask if the sinner knew why she was here- if there was anything that could've made her fit to end in a hole like this one.

Some people were outright serial killers and seriously damaged criminals, but others...others made mistakes due to the life they had.

Once waiting for Roxanne to calm down, the demon princess rubbed the back of her neck, in awkward silence until she felt she could speak again.

"Trying is already better than nothing. So I think it's a good start...Roxanne." After making a brief pause, her eyes gazed around the room, before the blonde would start walking, pacing slowly around the lobby and feeling as if she was about to sing something.

...yet, she simply turned around at some point to look back at the sinner.

"I get the satisfaction of helping others. What else would I want? I'm not even here for the money. I just want to help my people...the ones I can help, anyway."

"I'll… okay. Frankly, I didn't even expect to turn up here. —In Hell I mean! But seeing as that seems to be my lot now, I'll just… sink my teeth in or whatever."

Looking off to the side, Roxxane's free hand curled into a fist as she tried to contain her anger. She wasn't even angry at the handouts she was receiving anymore, or the hotel thing, or Charlie, or the fact that she wound up in Hell in the first place. No, she was angry at herself. She always prided herself on being self-sufficient, because there was nobody to help her. But that also made her bitter. Nobody ever came to help, so Roxxie had to pick herself up and get shit done. And now? Now that there was someone who offered her a chance? Now she was being an asshole again. She stood there, wrangling with herself. The words were there, but they were …difficult, Roxxie wasn't the type to express gratitude.

She took a breath, deep in, deep out, willing her hand to relax lest she dug her nails in too deep. When she had finally composed her properly, she turned to Charlie:

"Okay, yeah. You know what? I'll try it. I— I'll— I can't make any promises, but like, I suppose it's better than nothing, right?"

She held her hand out to Charlie, "I'm Roxanne by the way, don't think I introduced myself yet.

If you don't mind me asking, why a hotel? What do you get out of it?"

@annafall

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
