Syncing Dream [Aespa x M!Reader]

26. Tokyo trip

Note: Anime fans rise up!

Masterlist here

The hum of the plane's engines filled the cabin as Y/n sat in his business class seat, eyes wide with wonder. He had never flown like this before.

Never travelled oversea was one thing, but business class was another when this was a whole different world compared to the cramped economy seats he was used to. Plush leather, a reclining seat that practically turned into a bed, and endless snacks and drinks on demand? It was like stepping into another dimension.

The aespa girls were scattered around the cabin, relaxing in their own seats, but they couldn’t help but notice Y/n’s wide-eyed fascination with the luxury. Giselle was the first to catch on, grinning as she pulled out her phone and hit record.

“Look at him,” she whispered to Karina, nudging her arm. “He’s acting like he’s never seen a fancy seat before.”

Karina snickered, peeking over at Y/n, who was still marvelling at the seat controls. “Should we…?”

“Definitely,” Giselle said, stifling a laugh. She leaned closer to Karina’s phone camera, holding up a peace sign.

“Hey, MYs! Guess what? Our manager, Y/n, just got his first taste of the high life. And, uh… let’s just say he’s a little too excited.”

Karina joined in, zooming in on Y/n’s awestruck expression. “Is this the guy who’s supposed to be managing us? Or did we pick up a lost kid from the airport?”

They both burst into quiet laughter as Y/n finally noticed the phone pointed at him. He blinked, looking from Giselle to Karina, then at the phone. “I kind of know what you guys are doing, but still gonna ask. What are you doing?”

“Documenting history,” Giselle replied with a teasing grin. “We’re gonna save this for when we need blackmail material later.”

Karina smirked. “Or when you start getting too full of yourself. This’ll be our little reminder.”

Y/n groaned, but a smile tugged at his lips. “Aish, come on. It’s my first time in business class! I’m just… soaking it in.”

“You’re soaking it in like a sponge,” Karina teased, still recording. “How many times are you going to adjust that seat, huh?”

Y/n fidgeted with the recline button again, and Giselle burst out laughing. “He’s like a kid with a new toy.”

“Alright, alright!” Y/n finally relented, throwing his hands up. “I get it. I’ll stop messing with the seat… for now.”

Giselle lowered her phone but gave him a sly look. “Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of footage. This is going in the aespa archives.”

“Great,” Y/n muttered, sinking deeper into his seat. “Just what I needed.”

As Y/n leaned back in his plush business class seat, accepting his fate and replaying the events of the past few days, he couldn't help but chuckle. Getting extra allowances from the other managers and even the CEO had been a complete surprise. They had found out that it was his first time going overseas, and before he could blink, they were wiring him enough extra money to make sure he didn’t miss out on experiencing all the places the tour would take them.

He thought back to their good-natured ribbing as they handed him the news.

“Just make sure you bring us back souvenirs,” Minji had said with a wink.

Jihoon had grinned, patting him on the back. “And don’t blow it all on anime figures, alright? Try some good food too.”

Now here he was, sitting on a flight to Tokyo, about to fulfill one of his dreams: visiting Akihabara, the heart of anime and gaming culture. The girls, of course, didn’t let him forget about his newfound fortune.

"You better treat us with all that extra allowance you got!" Karina had teased, nudging him as they got ready for the flight.

But it wasn’t just the money. For Y/n, it felt like a reward for everything he’d been through, especially the ups and downs with aespa. He had worked hard to regain their trust after the fallout with Karina, and their bond was stronger than ever now. This trip to Tokyo was not only a professional milestone, but it was also a personal victory for him.

As the plane touched down in Tokyo, Y/n could hardly contain his excitement. His first international stop, and he was ready to explore. He tried to play it cool, but the awe on his face was impossible to hide as they disembarked and made their way through customs. It didn’t take long for the girls to notice.

“Look at him,” Giselle whispered to Karina, her phone out again to record him gawking at the busy terminal. “He’s like a kid at Disneyland.”

Karina giggled, joining in. “I swear, if that dude pulls out a map, I’m done.”

Y/n turned around, catching them in the act. “You two are never going to let me live this down, are you?”

“Nope!” they replied in unison, sharing a laugh.

The next day, after the successful concert, Y/n was still riding the high from the performance as they prepared for a day off in Tokyo. Akihabara had been at the top of his list for ages, and now he was finally going. Karina had already agreed to go with him, and they weren’t about to leave Giselle behind, knowing her fluency in Japanese was their lifeline.

One could say that Y/n should’ve learned Japanese. But his schedule was too packed until recently to properly learn the language.

After grabbing their coffees and snacks at the café (thanks to Giselle’s much-needed translation skills), Y/n, Karina, and Giselle stepped out into the neon-lit streets of Akihabara. The district was buzzing with energy, filled with towering arcades, endless anime shops, and vibrant displays of collectibles, posters, and figures from every popular show you could think of.

For Y/n, it was like stepping into a dream.

"Alright," Karina said, stretching her arms out dramatically. "We’ve got a full day ahead of us. Where to first?"

Y/n’s eyes were already wide, scanning the rows of towering shops lined with gacha machines and anime merch. "This is it. I’m in heaven."

"This? Not being with us?" Karina gasped.

"Yea, nice try, Rina." Y/n glared.

Giselle chuckled, adjusting her cap. "Just remember to pace yourself, kid. We’ve got the whole day, and I’m not translating your every conversation."

"Don’t worry, I’ve got this!" Y/n grinned, taking a confident step forward, only to freeze in front of a wall of posters advertising the latest anime releases. His bravado quickly evaporated as he realized how little he understood.

"Okay, " Y/n immediately turned back, his eyes pleaded for help. "maybe I’ll need you... a lot."

Karina snorted. "You? Need help? Shocking."

As they made their way deeper into Akihabara, they passed a few arcades, the sound of game machines and excited players pouring out into the street. Y/n, of course, couldn’t resist the allure of a claw machine, and before anyone could stop him, he was at the controls, determined to win a prize. He focused on a small, round plushie of Gojo.

And as we all know, men and women love Gojo Satoru.

"I’ve got this," he said, squinting at the machine. "I’ve mastered these things back in Korea."

Giselle crossed her arms, leaning against the side of the machine. "You’ve mastered them, huh? You realize the difficulty in Japan is, like, ten times higher, right?"

Karina leaned closer to the glass, inspecting the plushie he was aiming for. "Not to crush your dreams, but that one looks pretty stuck."

Y/n scoffed, already manoeuvring the claw into position. "Nonsense. Watch this."

He pressed the button with full confidence, watching as the claw descended... only to miss completely, scraping the side of the plushie before hanging limply in the air. The machine whirred back to life, and Y/n’s face fell as the claw reset itself.

"GOJOOOOOO!!!" Y/n mourned, as the plushie stared at him at the spot it was dropped at.

Karina burst out laughing. "Wow, that was... so bad."

"Shut up!" Y/n protested, though he was grinning now. "I just need a warm-up. That plushie was obviously rigged. Gojo is just playing hard to get."

"Obviously," Giselle said, shaking her head. "Let’s try another one before you blow all your money here."

After several more failed attempts at various claw machines, they moved on, with Karina showing a surprising amount of skill in navigating the aisles of crowded shops. Every time Y/n or Giselle spotted something cool—a rare figure, a retro game cartridge, or some obscure piece of anime memorabilia—they would have to stop, inspect, and debate the merits of buying it.

At one point, they found themselves in front of a small retro game shop. Y/n’s eyes lit up when he spotted a box of old-school consoles and games near the entrance.

"Look at this!" Y/n said, crouching down to rummage through the pile. "These are the Pokemon games I grew up playing! I didn’t think they still had these in stock."

Karina bent down next to him, her fingers brushing against an old Sega Genesis. "Wow, this is like a history lesson. Were these even around when you were born, Y/n?"

"I wasn’t that young, Grandma." Y/n said, rolling his eyes.

“Ya-“

"I used to play these when I was a kid. My dad had a collection." Giselle was already inside, chatting with the shopkeeper in rapid-fire Japanese, casually translating over her shoulder as she found rare games for them to check out. "You guys want anything? He’s got a sale on old RPGs and some exclusive anime soundtracks."

Y/n pulled out a game cartridge, staring at it with nostalgia in his eyes. "I think I might just get this. I can’t pass up the chance."

Karina looked at the old console in her hands, clearly torn between buying it for fun or sticking to her more practical side. "Do I need this? No. But do I want to see if I’m still good at these old games? Maybe."

Y/n shot her a smirk. "I’ll destroy you if we ever play these."

Karina returned the smirk, raising an eyebrow. "Big words for someone who just lost at a claw machine."

After spending a good hour in the retro game shop, Giselle finally managed to drag the two of them out. With bags in hand, they continued their journey through the streets of Akihabara, visiting anime stores filled with wall-to-wall figures and collectibles, some of which even had limited-edition items that made Y/n’s heart race.

At one point, Y/n found himself staring at a statue of Gojo, meticulously detailed and beautifully displayed in a glass case. The price tag, however, made him hesitate.

"I don’t know… should I get it?"

Giselle raised an eyebrow, arms crossed. "If you don’t, you’ll regret it."

Karina leaned in, squinting at the price. "You’ve got that extra allowance, don’t you? Live a little."

"I mean, it is my first time here," Y/n said, chewing on his bottom lip. "And this figure is... it’s perfect."

Giselle gave him a playful shove. "Just get it. You can thank me later."

With a deep breath and a grin, Y/n made the purchase, walking out of the store with his new prized possession. "I regret nothing."

"Oh, did you get another figure, Y/n?" Giselle pointed out. "There's another bag here".

'Oh, yea I did, I got one for Minjeong." Y/n pulled out the box. It was a small figure of Aqua from Konosuba."

"Is it her favourite show or something?" Giselle was curious. "Never heard her talked about Konosuba at all."

"Nah, he bought it because-" Karina answered.

"Aqua's a crybaby and stoopid. Just like her." Y/n laughed.

As the day went on, the trio explored more shops, arcades, and even stumbled upon a maid café, though they quickly decided that would be an adventure for another time. Giselle acted as their unofficial guide, using her fluency in Japanese to navigate them through every interaction with locals, while Karina and Y/n indulged their inner otakus, soaking in everything Akihabara had to offer.

With the sun finally set, Y/n, Karina, and Giselle headed back to their hotel, bags stuffed with anime merch and souvenirs. The sky above Tokyo was painted in hues of soft orange and pink as the evening lights began to twinkle across the skyline. The trio walked in comfortable silence, their feet sore but their hearts full.

Just as they passed by a small music shop on their way to the train station, Y/n’s ears perked up. A familiar melody drifted through the open door, wrapping around him like a warm blanket. His eyes widened in surprise, and he stopped in his tracks.

“Wait, is that…?”

Karina paused, tilting her head toward the sound, her lips curving into a knowing smile. “Yep, that’s Sun and Moon.”

The gentle, melodic notes of Aespa’s Japanese B-side filled the air, and Y/n couldn’t help but grooved to the song. Out of all the songs in their discography, Sun and Moon took his heart immediately. There was something about its ethereal feel, its soft rhythm, the lofi like mood, that made him adore it more with every listen.

Giselle gave him a nudge, her smirk playful. “Didn’t you say that’s one of your all-time favourites when we released it?”

“Yeah…” Y/n replied, almost in a daze as the song played on. “It’s just… so good.”

The girls exchanged amused glances. They’d all heard Y/n gush about Sun and Moon before, how the song’s tranquillity helped him unwind during the chaos of tour preparations. There was a quiet joy in seeing his face light up every time it played.

As they continued toward the train station, Y/n found himself humming along under his breath, his worries from the day fading away with each step. The song seemed to follow them all the way to the platform, echoing faintly as they waited for their train.

Boarding the train back to their hotel, Y/n settled into his seat, his mind still on the music. Karina leaned against the window, eyes closed, while Giselle scrolled through her phone, occasionally glancing at him with a smirk.

As the train glided through the city, Y/n’s thoughts drifted. There was something about hearing “Sun and Moon” in this moment, after a long day exploring a city he’d always wanted to visit, that felt… right. Aespa’s music wasn’t just work for him anymore; it had become a part of his life, something he cherished deeply.

“Guess today really was perfect,” Y/n said quietly to himself.

Karina, without opening her eyes, murmured, “It’s only the beginning, Y/n. We’ve got so much more to see.”

Giselle grinned, poking him on the arm. “And you’ll have plenty of chances to embarrass yourself with more bad Japanese.”

Y/n chuckled, leaning back in his seat, feeling content. “Bring it on.”

As the train sped through the twilight, the soft remnants of “Sun and Moon” played in his mind, a gentle reminder of everything he had to look forward to, not just on the tour but with Aespa and the wild, chaotic journey they’d shared together.

robert f. reid-pharr, from living as a lesbian, from Sister & Brother: Lesbians and Gay Men Write About Their Lives Together, 1994

["In 1985 Barbara Smith came like a fresh wind into Chapel Hill. She brought with her a vision of home unlike anything I ever had imagined. It was then that I began the process of being a lesbian. It is only recently that I began to understand lesbianism as a state of being that few of us ever achieve. To become lesbian one has to first be committed to the process of constantly becoming, of creatively refashioning ones humanity as a matter of course.

Coda

By becoming a lesbian, I have done nothing more nor less than become myself.

I had expected to end this piece with these words, forcing all of us, myself included, to reevaluate what it means to be labeled lesbian, gay, straight, bi, transgendered, asexual. And yet, this is not enough. For even as I recognize the difficulty of giving definition and meaning to our various identities, I also realize that as I struggle to lay claim to my lesbianism I am always confronted with the reality of my own masculinity, this strange and complex identity that I continue to have difficulty recognizing as privilege.

It was a Friday afternoon in September when I had my first bathhouse experience. I'm not sure what I expected, or wanted. In truth, I was compelled more than anything else by Samuel Delany's description in The Motion of Light in Water of his visit to the St. Mark's Baths in the early sixties. I thought that it would be exciting, that perhaps within this outlaws' territory I could throw off the stifling fears and anxieties that shape and constrain our lives, sexual and otherwise. I even felt that, given the name of the enterprise I was about to visit— "baths"— there had to be something intrinsically cleansing and healing about it.

Now I find myself asking if in the bathhouse— the most sacred of male enclaves, where my masculine body and affected macho style increase my worth in the sexual economy— I am still lesbian. Is it lesbianism that spills out of the end of my cock as bald-headed men with grizzled beards and homemade tattoos slap my buttocks and laugh triumphantly? Is it lesbianism that allows me to walk these difficult streets alone, afraid only that I will not be seen, accosted, "forced" into sexual adventure?

All my bravado, my will to adventure is caught up, strangely enough, with the great confidence I have gained from "The Lesbian." And yet, this confidence, this awareness of my own body, of my own independence, takes me to places where she dares not go. Perhaps then I am not a lesbian at all, but rather like a drag queen, by day a more or less effeminate, woman-loving gay man, by night a pussy, a buck, the despoiler of young men recently arrived from the provinces and the careful tutelage of their loving mothers. What I know for certain is that this self, this lesbian-identified gay man, is in constant flux. I live like a lesbian, as a lesbian, because I know no better way of life. Still, I live beyond her, in a province that continues to be reserved exclusively for men, all the while reaping the many fruits of sexual apartheid.

Me, I want to escape…. this dirty world, this dirty body. I never wish to make love again with anything more than the body.

Perhaps in my next life I will be done with these questions of identity altogether, will cherish fully the body that I am given, begin to see it neither as burden or weapon, but only as the vessel of my existence. Perhaps in my next life I will have given up finally this constant struggle to explain who I am not— not woman, not white, not straight, not you— and start to revel in the limitless of my boundaries. Perhaps each one of us will recapture that which has been lost, start again to accept and acknowledge the profound ambiguity and uncertainty of this existence. It is then and only then that we will find home.

In 1985 Barbara Smith came like a fresh wind into Chapel Hill."]

A new opportunity

(Good god i can't remember the last time i spent so long in such a long post, hope you enjoy)

Another day began at Beacon, and just like always, teams RWBY and JNPR gathered for breakfast at the cantina.

Nora: -which is why i believe that a monetary system based on Maple syrup would be the best solution to an economic crisis.

Ren: . . . . . .

Pyrrha: . . . . . .

Ruby: . . . . . .

Blake: . . . .worst thing of all? that kinda makes sense.

Jaune: *sits down with his tray* Hey guys, what did I miss?

Ruby: Nora was explaining to us how using maple syrup instead of lien would improve the economy.

Ren: If she spent as much time studying as she does thinking about these things, her grades would be better than Weiss'

Pyrrha: Speaking of her, where is she?

Blake: At the headmaster's office.

Ren: Did something happen?

Ruby: Honestly? We have no idea, she's been acting a bit off since she woke up.

Yang: *sits down with her tray* We're talking about Ice queen?

Ruby: Yeah.

Yang: Wonder what's got her panties on a twist. Did you try to serenade her again vomit boy?

Jaune: Of course not, i haven't tried anything since the ball.

Ruby: It's been just a week so….maybe those are still on her head?

Blake: maybe she had a dream with him again, or a nightmare as she calls it.

Jaune: Why am I the only possible reason why Weiss is having mood problems?

Yang: Because no one can push her buttons as far as you vomit boy.

Jaune: I don't. . . . . .*sigh* Fair enough.

Ruby: Hey don't be like that, she hasn't cursed at or ridiculed you ever since the ball, that's some progress.

Jaune: I guess. . . . .though at this point i don't wanna try anything anymore, if she ever wants to talk or try and be friends i'll be here but. . . . .i'll sit in my corner until then, i already pushed her more than enough.

Blake: That's probably for the better.

Nora: Speaking of the devil.

They turned their heads to see the heiress they were just talking about walking towards them with her own lunch tray, her gaze wandering around the cantina with a tranquil expression, until her eyes landed on their table.

The group wavered at her, all of them including jaune who gave a small wave with an awkward smile. He locked eyes with her and expected the usual nasty look before she looked away with a "hmph", but instead he got a warm smile from the usually cold heiress, there was. . . . .something more to it, but he couldn't exactly put his finger on it.

Yang: About time ice queen! Did Ozpin end up talking your ears off?

Weiss: Not quite, he did go on a long ramble, but his words always have a lot to offer.

Yang: What? Wanting to upgrade from teacher's pet to headmaster's pet?

Weiss didn't reply with the usual glare, instead letting out a short chuckle, which was odd enough as it was, but before any comments could arise, they watched in a mix of shock and surprise as the heiress took a seat, and of all places, she took a seat specifically next to the blonde knight.

There was a small moment of awkwardness at that, they all looked at her in disbelief, until Jaune made his move.

Jaune: *hops a little away from her*

Weiss: *hops closer to him*

Everyone: ???

Jaune: ??? *Hops away again*

Weiss: *hops closer*

Everyone: !?!?!?

Jaune: *staring flabbergasted*

Weiss: What? *Sniff, sniff* Do i smell?

Jaune: Erm. . . . .n-no.

Weiss: Then why are you backing away from me?

Jaune: Oh, well, i just. . . .figured you wouldn't want me to sit next to you.

Weiss: *snorts and smiles* Why would I sit next to you if I didn't want you next to me silly?

Jaune: . . . . . . .

Everyone: . . . . . . .

Nora: *whispering* Who's that and what did she do to Weiss?

Ren: *shrugs*

Weiss: What are you all staring at me for? Let's eat.

They all exchanged looks and followed suit, they were still curious about Weiss' sudden mood change, but the topic was readily forgotten once Nora started to ramble again. Well, forgotten to most at least.

Jaune was quite aware of the snow white beauty next to him, it made him really nervous, it was quite the strange situation to be honest. He tried to act normal, but every now and again he would glance at her and she would glance back, he would look away as fast as possible and pretend he didn't see anything, but he was sure she noticed, and was almost certain those exchanges made her giggle.

Jaune: *quickly glances at her*

Weiss: *staring*

Jaune: *pink, looks away as fast as possible*

Weiss: I'm not gonna hit you for looking or anything like that y'know?

Jaune: S-sorry, i didn't mean to stare.

Weiss: Pretty sure those were too short to be called "stares", but I don't mind either way.

Jaune: Uhm, okay. . . . .are. . . .are you okay?

Weiss: Better than ever.

Jaune: Are you sure? I never saw you-!?

Weiss: *sighs, resting against his arm* That was a good lunch, I haven't felt this full in years.

Jaune: *red* Erm. . . .Weiss? W-what are you doing?

Weiss: Resting, I think I ate a little too much. Am i bothering you?

Jaune: N-no! Not at all.

Weiss: *snuggles* Hmm. . . .Good.

Jaune: *extremely confused*

Everyone: *staring* !?!?!?

Jaune: *redder* I have no idea either.

Lunch was over and classes soon began, confusion was still high amongst the group but they didn't have much time to question since Oobleck had just arrived to begin his lecture, and once again, Weiss was found sitting next to Jaune.

Jaune: Ugh, This thing again. . . . .

Weiss: Having problems?

Jaune: O-oh, no, not at all! *Puffs chest* I just. . . .y'know, like to think a lot before writing down an answer.

Weiss: Uh huh. . . .so, what are you having trouble with?

Jaune: I'm not-

Weiss: *stern look*

Jaune: *deflates, depressed sigh* Alloying calculations.

Weiss: Ahh, I remember those. *Leans closer, looking into his paper*

Jaune: *pink* . . . . . .W-Weiss-

Weiss: Ah, I see the issue. You're using the wrong formula, This one is used to calculate the weight of the materials during the process, what you want is the formula for density. All you need is pick is the value of the metal and the area times. . . . .

At some point Jaune's mind turned off from most things around him, he couldn't remember ever being this close to Weiss, especially when she wasn't ready to knock him out, the way her eyes scanned through the material, her soft yet serious expression as she patiently explained it all to him was mesmerizing to say the least, Jaune knew Weiss was pretty but. . . . .wow, he feels like he might fall for her all over again if this keeps up

*Snap*

Jaune: H-huh?

Weiss: Remnant calling Jaune, are you there?

Jaune: *pink* S-sorry, i was thinking about something.

Weiss: I figured, you've been staring pretty intensely at me for some time.

Jaune: *red* . . . . .i'm really sorry.

Weiss: Don't be *small smile* I like the way you look at me.

Jaune: *redder* . . . . . . .

Weiss: I wrote the formula on the corner of your notes, just try and memorize it and you won't have any issues, Okay? *Goes back to her notes*

Jaune: O-okay. Thanks.

Jaune didn't know how to feel, confused? Shocked? Overjoyed? It was a mix of all of those, and Jaune wondered until when this was going to last, would she wake up tomorrow and start hating him again? It was something worth asking, though in all honesty, he really didn't want to know the answer. And so, instead of letting that question eat away his mind, he moved on with his day, and soon enough combat classes started, where he once again found himself in a fight against cardin of all people.

And of course, it didn't end well for him.

Glynda: Match is over, Victory goes to mister Winchester.

Cardin: Hah, what a surprise. 'till next time arc.

Jaune groaned in pain, Cardin's last hit broke his aura and his face took most of the damage, he held his bruised cheek and left the arena, whatever was left of his pride being the most damaged thing in this fight

Nora: You'll get him next time.

Pyrrha: Shouldn't you go to the infirmary?

Jaune: My aura is gonna kick in an hour or so anyways, it's fine. *Sits down, groaning and rubbing the ugly bruise in his cheek.

Weiss: *sigh* You're so stubborn.

Jaune: It's fine, i-

He stopped halfway into his sentence, watching as she pulled out a handkerchief, picked up Yang's water bottle to soak it up and used a glyph to freeze it, sitting close to him and reaching out for his cheek. Jaune reflexively moved away which seemed to be the wrong move, she gave him an angry look and held his face, pulling him really close.

Weiss: Stay still you dolt. *Starts gently applying the ice* if you move i'm gonna give your other cheek a matching mark

Jaune: *flinches and stays still.*

Weiss: Better.

She then held the frozen handkerchief to his bruise, gently pressing against it while using a glyph to keep it cooled

Jaune: You don't need to do this, my aura is gonna kick in a little while.

Weiss: I don't care, you're in pain right? so zip it and let me take care of you.

Jaune: I can handle a little pain.

Weiss: I don't doubt it, but you don't need to handle it. Stop trying to act tough, it's okay to let people help you.

Jaune: . . . . . .

Weiss: There. Feels better?

Jaune: A lot. Thanks Weiss.

Weiss: Don't thank me, just make sure to kick his butt next time.

Jaune: Hah. . . . .as if that is ever going to happen.

Weiss: It will, maybe not in the next match, or the one after that, but it will eventually.

Jaune: You sound awfully sure about that.

Weiss: Because I am. Do you know what's the worst thing about You jaune?

Jaune: I think i can come up with an entire list of things i-oww!

Weiss: *pinching his good cheek* The worst thing about you is this, you have no faith in yourself, despite how hard you work, despite your visible talents, despite all of your friends telling you otherwise, you insist on the idea that you are worthless, when you obviously are not.

She stopped pinching his cheek, instead, she gently stroked it.

Weiss: You are much, much stronger than any of us could ever hope to imagine, there's someone deep down in there that will one day save many lives and protect many people, someone all of us can look up to and that can carry a burden that would crush most of us ten times over, someone worthy of being called a true hero, so don't let your fears and doubts stop you from letting that someone come out.

Jaune: *speechless* . . . . .i. . . . . .i'll try.

Weiss: *smiles* That's a good start.

And once more, Jaune was left wondering what happened to the Weiss he knew yesterday, there was no way to tell how long this would last, and the worst thing of all? Is that after everything that happened, after he finally decided to move on, she suddenly does all of this and jaune finds himself completely and utterly head over heels for her again, probably even more than before.

Was she playing with him? Was this some sort of revenge plan? He doubted it, he couldn't see Weiss sinking to such a low, and even if she tried the others would've intervened, but they were clearly just as shocked as he was.

Weiss: Hey, erm. . . . .i've been meaning to get some things in vale after class is over, would you like to come with me?

Jaune: !?!? You mean. . . .you need someone to help you?

Weiss: No, I mean that I would like to go out with you after class is over.

Jaune: I. . . . . . . .you. . . . . . .you mean. . . . . .

Weiss: *chuckles* Just a yes or a no will suffice you dolt.

Jaune: Y-yes, I would really like that.

Weiss: It's a date then.

Date. . . .Jaune lost count of the amount of times he imagined having one of those with Weiss, never in his life however did he expect this to be how it happened, once again he felt the fear of this being too good to be true, that Weiss would change her mind back how it was before as fast as she changed to how it is now, or that he'll just wake up on his bed all of this would have been a dream, but he couldn't control it either way, all he could really do is enjoy his time with Weiss for as long as he had left.

And so classes ended for the day, and soon enough, the heiress was Found in her room, wearing much more casual clothes and ready to leave, before her team blocked the way.

Weiss: You girls need something?

Blake: Yeah, we do. What's going on?

Ruby: Spill the beans!

Weiss: I assure you I have no beans in my mouth to spill.

Yang: See! This is what we mean! Since when do you do jokes like that!?

Weiss: I've developed a sense of appreciation for silly jokes like that.

Blake: Since when?

Weiss: Since yesterday.

Yang: What's going on with you? Is everything okay?

Weiss: Yes, why? Is my behavior bothering you?

Ruby: No way, you've been really nice all day, especially to Jaune, we just wanted to know where all that is coming from?

Yang: You couldn't stand the guy not too long ago, yeah you tell us what he did on the ball and that definitely earns him some good points, but for you to act like this? Like you're his girlfriend or something? It seems off for you.

Weiss: *sigh* I figured you girls would question. So, do you want the truth?

R_BY: Yeah.

Weiss: The whole truth?

Blake: Of course.

Weiss: For realsies.

Yang: just spill it!

Weiss: Alright then, the truth is that I am not the same Weiss you knew from before, I'm actually from eight years in the future. The world was collapsing and there wasn't any hope left as we got stomped by the queen of grimm, that was until I figured out how to mix the magic I received from four magical women with my time dilation glyphs to send my mind back in time, which allows me to try and prevent the disaster before it even has a chance to strike.

R_BY: . . . . . .

Weiss: As for Jaune's case, he's been my lover for the past three years, well, was at least. I had to watch him getting crushed by the weight of responsibility and the things we had to constantly go through, we didn't have time to go on dates, for romance or much of anything else aside from some rare occasions, his mind was constantly haunted by his own mistakes and even the ones he had no fault of, yet he pushed through everything despite how broken he was on the inside. . . . . .that was, until a year ago, where i had to watch him lay down his life to save mine and give me this opportunity to come back and make things right. . . . .So I intend to make use of every last second of this new opportunity he gave me, and I'll make sure to cherish and love him. Jaune will grow into a formidable man, that much i know, and i know the road ahead won't be easy, but this time i'll be there for him, and i'll be damned if i let this world break him a second Time.

R_BY: . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yang: Y'know. . . . . .you could just tell us if you didn't want to say what's going on.

Blake: Did you just come up with that? Cause that sounds like a really compelling narrative.

Weiss: Would you believe it if I also told you him he's the rusted knight from your favorite fairy tale?

Blake: Heh, that's a funny one. You should write for a living if you ever give up on Being a huntress.

Weiss: *shrugs* I only gave you the answer you asked for.

Ruby: Ohhh, I wonder what a grimm queen would look like. Maybe a giant spider lady with a biiiig head to control other grimm around her with her thoughts.

Weiss: *chuckles* Of course you'd think that.

Yang: *sigh* Well, nevermind all of that, if you don't wanna tell us what's going on we'll give you some space. Just. . . . .try not doing anything stupid, alright nICE-queen?

Weiss: I'll try my best.

She leaves the room, closing the door behind her only to see Jaune in the corridor wearing more casual clothes, looking through his scroll's selfie camera and nervously fiddling with his hair while mumbling something unintelligible. Many things passed through her mind at that moment, most weren't exactly pleasant, but as she stared at the boy whose biggest concern right now was trying to make himself not look stupid for a date, she couldn't help but feel an incredible warmth building up inside her chest.

Weiss: *giggles*

Jaune: W-Weiss!? *Pink* H-how long have you been there!?

Weiss: I don't know, how long have you been playing with your hair?

Jaune: I-i just. . . . . Y'know. . . . .it's getting a little too long and i-

He stopped as Weiss reached out for his head, brushing his hair with her hand and putting it the way it was normally.

Weiss: I like the longer hair. Also, don't try too hard to style it, it already looks perfect like this.

Jaune: W-well. . . .if you say so. You look really nice.

Weiss: Thanks, you look quite good too.

Jaune: hehe, thanks. Well. . . . should we-

"Miss schnee"

Jaune was cut by none other than the headmaster, who joined them shortly after with his mug in hand as always.

Weiss: Yes?

Ozpin: We looked into the matters you warned us about, and you'll be happy to know we got to isolate the little "surprise" they had hidden in the system for us. As of now me and a few others are going to miss Fall's room to. . . ."discuss" some matters, would you like to join us?

Weiss: It won't be necessary, I'm sure you're already doing what's necessary.

Ozpin: Very well, there's still more I would like to discuss but you seem to be busy at the moment. Please contact me once you're free.

Weiss: Will do.

Ozpin: A good evening for you, and for you as well mister Arc. *Leaves*

Jaune: . . . . . .what was that?

Weiss: Nothing much, don't worry about it.

Jaune: Uhmm. . . .okay. Should we go-!?

Weiss: *hugging his arm and smiling* Let's go.

And off they went to their date, the first of many more to come, Jaune didn't think this day would ever come but every glance at the ivory beauty hugging his arm proved him wrong and made his heart race inside his ribcage, he didn't know what he did to deserve this, but he knew he was going to thank the gods for it for the rest of his life

No, but it does give you back some control, Kaz. Which honestly is an understandable feeling to want to have. But thinking about it, what’s gotta be worse than being both grounded-and in excruciating pain with much less function than he had previously?

Loss of control.

Even if I go with my headcanon of the capture being an organized thing between himself and Ocelot-that doesn’t mitigate it being traumatic or bad.

(Which obviously, is just a headcanon/theory: nothing I say in any of these posts is 100% proven canonically, this is just my own thoughts after all from context we receive within the game).

Anyway.

Taking aside the other factors (artificial limbs aren’t a guarantee that it makes things better, or easier. Extra weight, difficulties etc) thinking of the kind of personality Kaz has; that of a high-strung man eager to find his place and exert power over others (and if not power, then something akin to it, or mingled with other elements) a core element in that is control.

Being the one in charge. Someone who has enough of a position of authority to exert his will unto others. Whether that word comes from himself or Snake, he’s at the helm somehow.

After Kaz is rescued, he’s open about exactly how he’s feeling-

And honestly, a single look at himself, or even just how much pain he has got to be in on a day-to-day basis would tell him that he really doesn’t need to focus on that in order to remember. Frankly, I think he’d have a much harder time forgetting. After all, it’s been 9 years since the attack, and he’s still fueled so strongly by hate and revenge that it’s on his mind 24/7. Nothing else occurs to him, ever.

Angry enough that even after weeks in captivity, he’s fuming and chomping at the bit to get going again.

Sir the only thing you should be right now is unconscious.

But there is really only so much vulnerability a single person can take. Let alone someone like him.

Kicks help away.

If he’s in pain, it’s more than just a reminder. It serves as the one thing he has left to master. To be in charge of. Pain meds wouldn’t take all of it away. But it would ease it. Bionics wouldn’t take all of it away, but it might (or might not) help him. If he says ‘no’ to all of this, then he’s the one with the final say. Logically, it doesn’t make the most sense. After all, you can’t think or function properly in pain the way you could out of it.

Believe me I know.

I rely on aids myself, from time to time. I was a daily cane user for most of university.

A wheelchair for another trip.

And there’s absolutely an argument to be made, that if he did take assistance. Help. That if he did get himself in less pain then he’d actually be exerting more control in the situation because now he’s the one that’s got a handle on it. He’s the one that took it back and brought it back to himself. Into a place where it no longer dominates him, but he dominates it.

But the longer he’s in pain, the angrier he can stay. Not to mention it provides an excuse for the anger. Now he’s not just in control of himself (so he thinks anyway, I’d argue the point with him myself if he was a living thing I could speak too) but kept mad and spitting. Mad enough to kill Skull Face, mad enough to keep going and going. Fueling his fire with self grown coals.

Because without that pain, that anger. Also comes loss.

Grief is one of the central themes to MGSV (a whole other post to be honest). Grief and anger often times go hand and hand. Kaz isn’t a good person with good morals at the end of the day. A man who was so eternally displaced with his position in the world from the day of his birth, and really until his death that his solution was things like nation states and war economies. But you don’t have to be a good person, or a saint, to have been wronged in some fashion.

He's never been shy about admitting exactly what kind of person he is (in this regard, anyway)

And is there not, end of day, a large element of control rooted in things like this?

These are the sorts of ideologies Kaz holds: in his own words.

Like this:

Or this.

His lead, and Kaz's. (Since it's Kaz talking here that is not what is outright stated, but it's clear enough what Kaz might want, within these situations).

(One could also argue this is just morally corrupt people taking care of other morally corrupt people but that’d be a derailment. Another post would have to delve into that as well).

When he lost everything-his home, his limbs, he lost key elements of his control that he worked so brutally to build. Whatever scrap of it he can cling to and maintain, he will.

Obviously, Kaz is in a different place (and undoubtedly frame of mind by the 90’s) but in the 80’s, he’s holding strong to pain, grief, anger, and loss. Because if he lets go of the things that keep him fueled and furious, then all that’s left is all-encompassing grief.

And that must feel a whole lot harder to deal with to him (I’d think anyway) than being raging and fuming.

sometimes, when i let myself just sort of daydream about cool things i could be doing, some of my “if you love your job you never work a day in your life” (ik its bs bc i love my current job too. but you get the vibe) daydreams is owning a doll store specializing in bjds & art dolls & materials for them with a whole show room, or just being a bjd dealer without a brick and mortar. i’m the type of person who enjoys helping people find and get things, and the times i worked in fields like that (procurement & also regular retail jobs) i really enjoyed it. it’s influenced what my current career path is too. I miss the unique vibe our family tailor shop had brought to our two when i was growing up, and the old fabric & craft store too. I miss the strange antique & vintage store that my grandma would take us too, with the big room that was just full of dolls of all kinds (well, mainly porcelain, bisque & barbies) as well as doll clothes and doll houses. I want to be that for the modern era, for the modern kid and their parent to wander in and look at dolls and related products. Maybe my thing would be BJDs and American Girl Dolls, and i’d help people place orders in person. I’d obviously have a website, but there’s something quaint about during christmas time a parent comes in and buys some american girl dresses. or one of the local college kids in the anime club discovers that this weird shop in their boring college town has BJDs, and they come and look a lot because they’ve always seen them online but never in person. also, it’d be great to be able to see so many dolls and clothes….. but i don’t have to keep them >:) I get to look and maybe display some (those would probably be my own collection) but they’d eventually leave me to their forever home. Muahahaha. That’s like my perfect doll collection ideal.

i dunno, i just think it’d be neat. i’m aware there’s a lot that goes into business, my family are primarily business owners (tailor shop for example, contractors, the like). truly the online only dealer presence would be far better business wise with real estate, loans, and the economy the way it is in my state, so i’d only have to worry about storage.

It’s also such a niche thing that if i ever did it, there aren’t a lot of people to ask about how they started, their pros/cons, etc. I’d love to hear more from people who are dealers of niche hobby things (gundams, figures, toy trains, etc even). anyways, what’s your fun hobby daydream?

Tw: su*cidal ideation, mentions of offing oneself, really long vent ig

!! PLEASE BLOCK, DON’T REPORT!!

I don’t want to exist, but I don’t know if I want to die.

I am stuck in a space between life and death where I merely exist, and it is the worst thing I have ever experienced.

I don’t want to live to work for the rest of my life in a career I won’t like because I have no interests.

I don’t want to live until applying for said job, not wanting to, but needing money to survive.

I don’t want to live until college where I will be working to a life I’m not sure I want. To live to know whether I get to possibly live on my own, which seems more impossible with every growing day in a world where I am constantly reminded how doomed the economy is.

I don’t want to live until the end of high school, where I know all the rest will follow.

I don’t want to live until the tests in my senior year, which I am nowhere near prepared for.

I don't want to live the rest of my life suffering with my list of mental illnesses.

With all this, one might ask why I’m still surviving. The truth is, while I know it’s impossible, I feel like I deserve one good month. Even a good week would be enough. I feel like if I hold on long enough, then one day I will get a week where I dress up and go to a lake with a friend who will talk my ear off while I lay quietly on their chest. One week where I live on my own in an aesthetic apartment where I am who I want to be. Who I would be if it weren’t for…me.

If I just hold on long enough, surely I will be rewarded. For the suffering I have been through where everyday it is a fight to not make the ultimate decision to leave forever, surely life will turn out amazing like the books I read. A character going through the same things as me or more and ending up with an amazing life after all. They were rewarded for surviving, why can’t I be?

Yet everyday, I realize I am more alone than the last. Everyday, it feels like my chances are diminishing.

My life has revolved around my mental health since I could remember. After learning why I was the way I was, I was so sure I could get better. Yet here I am, years and years later, no better, if not worse than when I learned.

I don’t want to exist. If I could hit a button to disappear then I know I would. Maybe I’m just scared of the afterlife. I’m not particularly a good or bad person. I haven’t had the chance to become one yet. I never started the betterment arc, I suppose.

I want to live in a fairytale where someone will take me away and better me by my side. A world where everything will work out because it’s a story. A world I currently escape to.

I think it may be the support I want. If I had someone to guide me through my hard times, like a lover or best friend. If I had someone to explain the world to me, like a new and almost perfect guardian. If I had enough people around me willing to share enough love with me to give me interests, happiness, and a reason to live.

I don’t have enough reasons to live, yet I’m scared to leave. I’m scared I may be leaving right before my happy ending, especially one that closes with, “yet it’s just the beginning.” I want to believe my reward, my happy ending, my next chapter is coming soon. I don’t think it is, and I’m scared to run out of time.

I want to make my decision to leave or stay. I wish I could see the future to know if I escape this limbo between life and death.

I wish I never had to make this decision in the first place. I wish I didn’t exist.

The thing is, I 1000% acknowledge and respect that a lot of art communities have damned good reasons to be wary of AI, because a lot of commission economies - especially furry and furry-adjacent communities - are already constantly, CONSTANTLY under fucking siege by assholes who hear of their reputation for being willing to spend a lot on commissions and try to muscle in on the action while actively showing disdain for the communities they're blatantly trying to exploit for that sweet sweet "freak" money. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone who has ZERO respect for furries - thinks they're all a bunch of freaks playing chicken with zoophilia, treats furries as a punchline in that kind of way that sounds like they might be in on the joke but when prodded further you realize no they're really not - say "hmm maybe I should learn to draw furry art, that pays well", well, I would have enough money to commission actual furry artists.

It fucking sucks. It's an eternal frustration to be surrounded by a bunch of fucking assholes trying to milk your community for money while still pointing and laughing at you like you're some kind of sideshow attraction, taking your money and then calling you a freak in the next breath, but they GUESS they could DEIGN to claim to respect you because you pay so very well. It's cruel and shitty and should not be abided, and it's painful that there's no real way to protect a community against that kind of behavior other than essentially playing whack-a-mole as long as you're there and concerned about it - and AI art absolutely does have the power to enable these assclowns, because before AI, these types had to do a lot more work to learn to draw some new subject matter, do studies on what makes it tick and what the community values about it - AI dramatically lowers the skill floor to get a passable result, and while this is a huge positive from most standpoints...well, most of the time, through the process of doing these kinds of studies, your typical greedy asshole will realize that oh shit, there actually IS work involved in this and unique skills and a community that's not just a bunch of gullible freaks but PEOPLE with inner lives as rich as your own and either find some passion for a community they once felt that disdain for, or just balk at having to ACTUALLY work for it and burn out before they even get off the ground; AI is not SO easy as to eliminate this completely but it may make it more likely that these types could get a foot in the door and...essentially Funko Pop-ify even custom art. We already see people trying it in certain adoptable communities and it fucking sucks.

This is why I'm 100% comfortable with, and even tentatively encourage, sites and events geared toward communities frequently targeted by this kind of assholery banning AI art - I have my reservations about it as a long-term solution, as it's only going to get easier and easier for people to just lie (and this is why a huge aspect of my personal approach to keeping things as ethical as possible is to be as transparent as I can be about my processes) and AI is commonly used as an accessibility tool, but at the very least in the short term I see those policies and usually my first thought is "yeah that is absolutely, completely, perfectly fair."

I just wish I was better at finding an appropriate time and place to point out to people who are taking those concerns to the level of outright lying or otherwise blaming the tech more than the assholes, that There Are Many AI Artists Who Hate Those Types As Much As You Do And There Are Many Other Approaches To AI Art. When I started this blog, I, too, thought I was nearly alone in my desire to see AI tech used ethically, for both accessibility and its own unique features as a medium, and I've rarely if ever been happier to find out I was wrong. If there's one emotional skill I wish more people had, it is this - please...learn how to be happy to have been wrong when a situation turns out to not be as bad as you thought it was.

tl;dr: It's not wrong at ALL for people to want to protect their community from people who just see them as a crowd of walking ATMs. If you're looking at AI somewhat favorably because you see it as an easy way into those communities for their commission money, you're a piece of shit and I hope you break your fingers so badly you can't even type anymore, let alone noise paint, which you're gonna have to do if you want to get a result to exact specifications.

Just, if you're in one of those communities...please don't invent, and try to stop spreading misinformation about the tech, because the collateral damage is...A Lot.

the star beast reactions:

the end of time part 2: “the story never ends” switches to “ the story hasnt ended yet” this show is driving me to cookoo land

taxi logo! Very 2005.

“That says grand mistress!” “oh, catch up” [….sentient physic paper headcanon? Maybe everything the doctor carries is secretly sentient sdlkfj rip all those sonics that fell in battle]

NERYS HAD AN ACCIDENT. KARMIC JUSTICE.

"I should be really happy"'... but sometimes I lie in bed thiking, what have I lost?" THIRTEEN CODED THIRTEEN CODED OH GOD THE REGRETS OVER DROPPING THE FOBWATCH….

“Fuge” is iconic

I mean he did very much kill donna (again?) ddklSjs THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT THING THAT JUST HAPPENED???

“She chose her own name…” trans doctor fodder?

"male and femape and neither and more" tbh this works rlly well on the metaphysical level I was talking about (note to self: elaborate on that in another post), do have to agree it sounds a bit iffy on the gender politics front...

"cryptic, I hate that" liar, you’re all about that

tbh "shame you are not a woman anymore" feels riiiiiight in line with "you two are just time lords, you dumbos!" sdkfj donna has to be a lil’ bioessentialist about meta cris-es every time doesn’t she.

"and we choose to let it go" / [the one adventure I could never have] / [terf island will eventually let go of transphobia] / [“how to let go of depression”: the scifi/adventure series]

"why does it have to be one last trip?" good question!!! yaz would like to know as well!!!

CONCLUSIONS!

Fun as hell! But i did feel a tinge disappointed that rose and the nobles aren’t that developed (and Shirley as well).

I think The Point and The Message is a bit clumsily delivered, but overall the writers’ hearts are in the right place and it does work philosophically for where (I think?) the series is going next. As a ~Trial Of A TimeLord Enjoyer~ the bit where 14 puts on a wig made me go feral.

The meep is well realized but tbh I don’t think the OG story is that strong? And I think my Hot Take is….. I think that a straight-forward story wasn’t super compatible with all the mechanics and logistics and exposition that this “fix fic-ing the doctordonna” story necessitates. So the whole thing feels kinda bogged down by having to be a recap.

Finally… I think the resolution feels a bit too... mechanical? because Rose is not developed / put as the POV at the start, it’s not enough of an emotional thrill to see her saving the day (other than like, idk, if I interpret Rose Noble triumphing being a metaphor for Donna’s life being complete when she has her own life but also the doctor back again (?)).

#dw spoilers #not really but is the tag i've used for this kind of post for years dslkfj #60th specials #more to come

pssst pssst pssst come here all my high school and college students and young adults and basically everyone trying to figure out their lives let me explain to you a secret thing nobody tells you to consider when planning your life:

Location and Lifestyle.

What do I mean by this?

Well, you see my friends, throughout your early life, everyone only asks you what? What are you going to be studying? What would you like to do for a living? What would you like to be when you grow up?

And full offense, while this is a very important question to be answered, I think it is a question that needs to rely a lot more on the answers to other questions as well.

Through my life, no one asked me how I wanted to live. Who I wanted to live around. Where I wanted to be. And this led to me having a very clear vision of What I wanted to be, (theoretically, though, now that I’ve been considering more the other questions, this is coming under scrutiny) it left me feeling unfulfilled and at a loss for everything else.

So, from one person trying to figure their shit out to another, if you find yourself in a time where you and everyone else are asking “What,” please also consider:

where you want to do it

who you want to be around

how you want to live

And how your “what” will affect and be affected by all of that.

Let me give you an example.

From a very young age I had a very clear notion that I either wanted to be a writer or a performer. I went to school for theatre because I thought it would be easier to weave writing into a theatre career rather than the other way around. And that all went very well! I genuinely enjoyed going to school for theatre and don’t regret my chosen career field.

However.

Even during my education, no one prepared me for the other realities that my “what” would entail. I knew about the shit pay and that didn’t deter me. But theatre artists are also freelancers. Independent contractors. Every month or every season they must constantly be looking to secure and book new jobs because they generally do not have one, steady place that money is flowing from all year. And conceptually, I understood this, but no one ever really encouraged me to sit down and think, “Yes, it’s what I want to do, but is that how I’d like to live?”

So I entered adulthood and entered freelance, independent contractor land. And while I was doing what I wanted to do, I fucking hated it. God, did I hate it. Why? Because I realized freelancing is not the way I wanted to live. And there is a whole other discussion to be had about the gig economy and the cost of living and what have you, but that’s tangential to what I’m talking about right now. I started the #giglife and realized that I absolutely could not stand the constant pressure to get myself seen, constant need to submit to opportunities, and constant uncertainty on where money was coming from. The constant balancing of multiple schedules. The constant juggling of previous commitments and missed opportunities. The constant holding of multiple jobs at once. And let me be clear that this is not the case for all people. While there are a lot of issues with the system, I do know people who genuinely enjoy freelancing and building their own career path. But I hated it. So if you find yourself in freelancing and find that you absolutely hate it, freelancing is not for you. At least, not full time.

And when I realized I hated it, I had to sit down and have a conversation with myself. Yes, this is what I want to do, but it is not how I wanted to live. And so I changed strategies. I applied to full time, 35 to 40-hour a week jobs still in the artistic field, but not in jobs that would require me to keep freelancing. And after months, I finally got one. And let me tell you, my life changed for the better.

I am happier. Calmer. I can visualize myself sustaining this lifestyle. And it helps that my bosses are also theatre artists and the generally coolest and most chill people ever, but the difference is astounding. Now that I’ve considered my own lifestyle needs, I am beginning to restructure and restrategize how I am going to do the rest of the “what” I’d like to do.

And you might consider your lifestyle and realize you actually hate your what and that’s okay too! And who knows, I might change my mind later, but I absolutely do not at all regret changing my strategy and even changing my “what” to a degree just to better align myself with the lifestyle I need.

But please don’t only think of the doing of things in your life. Please also consider the living of it.

I add location in here too because you should also consider things like if you’d like to live in a rural area or a city, how close you’d like to be to family, etc. The career opportunities in the area you choose. Because location also does make a huge difference. It’s similar to lifestyle as it does impact it but also distinct enough to warrant being mentioned on its own.

Either way, please don’t just consider what you’d like to do. Consider how what you will do will directly impact the way you then will be living your day to day life.

If you haven't already seen it yourself, this is what the anon who mentioned that ridiculous claim of the WF plotline 'radicalizing people ' is referring to. www(.)reddit(.)com/r/RWBY/comments/10ruu07/the_wf_plotline_and_you/

... What the hell am I looking at?

When violent protests occur in the real world, from the Stonewall Riots to full revolutions like the French Revolution, they happen because certain conditions became so unlivable that significant portions of the populace felt violence was their only recourse.

Okay. ... That doesn't mean the revolt is good, that you should be violent or even that the force behind the revolution is better. Ignoring the French Revolution which i recently talked about-

One could consider the Nazis and Hitler to be rebels of their time. They were outside the establishment and said that violence was their only option as Germany crumbled and fell. No one's gonna argue they're GOOD.

These kind of events didn’t happen because one person convinced others to commit acts of terrorism, so to villainize the WF because of the actions of one person is a bit silly.

No but one person tends to convince others to be violent, again with the Nazis and Hitler.

Not to mention that the WF in the show is villainized for their acts of terror and aid in MASS GENOCIDE.

Many people seem to have determined that the WF plot line is about people using civil rights movements for their own ends, but the socioeconomic conditions that lead to these revolutions are such that the actions of one person are irrelevant.

Then why do we place so much blame on Hitler then? Seriously, is the history of the Nazis just gonna counter every single point you make?

Furthermore, focusing on the character of the people taking part in riots and protests with the goal of discrediting their movements while ignoring the reason they're rioting is a common tactic in right-wing media. Ever since Black Lives Matter became an organization Fox News has been constantly reporting on it, but whenever they do the goal is to discredit it by focusing on some of their alleged wrongdoings with very little time spent on the cases of police brutality that made the group necessary.

"Hey, don't pay attention to how these people do nothing but make the situation worse and act like violent animals. No, focus on how they are victims!"

And yet again- Adolf Hitler was abused by his father, lost a sibling in his youth, was indoctrinated into anti-semetism from his time in art school and was a war veteran who watched his country fall apart in no small part due to the victors destroying their economy.

Again- doesn't excuse HIS actions, why would it excuse the WF's?

Which brings me to the core of my concern: I fear that in trying to believe that the writing of the WF plotline is sound a lot of people are gonna find themselves going done an alt-right pipeline. It starts off as people believing CRWBY has a point about the WF, then they seek out similar content about the wrongdoings of civil rights groups, that content then links to homophobic, transphobic content that might seem harmful enough then Bam! Radicalized! I know it seems a bit unlikely and I am simplifying it but not only does radicalization happen to the unsuspecting RT has already gotten the fandom to financially support a company known for almost every type of bigotry there is, so how unlikely is it really?

The fact that I have been preaching this for roughly six years and I'm barely considered right wing by today's society...when I'm a self professed centrist?

My point is when consuming content that tackles real world subjects like racism it's important to question it and not let a singular devotion to making your favorite show look better than it is cloud your judgement and slowly radicalize you. This may seem unimportant within the grand scheme of RWBY because the WF plotline ended in V6 but if the series is going to end with V9 humanity united then that would only occur because of the de-radicalization of the WF, which is it's own can of worms.

I came to my conclusion by observing history, seeing how violence was villainized in the past, compared it to my own states of intense anger and how disgusted with myself I felt about my violent thoughts. RWBY has nothing to do with this.

You just want the show to validate your bloodlust.

Newly added benefits to a job description benefits an employer on jobs posted give to their employees an employer get to hold back cash or take money out of an employees check to put towards a mutual funds stock fund option to help that client make more money as a second job the municipals funds and stock and funds and stock and then you gotta get hedge funds option packaged in to help the employees money make more money for them talk about overtime whew and at the same time that local market and store owner can put his company on the stock market and give out public shares thus in the end making it a good investment a regular place of shopping in a family like environment it is like getting to know your deli clerk , butcher , bakery attendant again only this time you are making money with the people you are spending money with Think about it that in turns build better communities better stores customer relationships safer neighborhoods and the beautifying of economically depressed environments more money for your kids college tuition school supplies newer roads being built leading to and from better neighborhoods and businesses and this is a future that we all as fellow New Yorkers can build together

Next order of business : Fat Joe and Salt from Salt and Pepa communications company a for profit organization this is a company that I'm pitching that travel from city to city across the united states of America and even the USA carribean Islands like Saint Croix Saint Thomas and Puerto Rico and visit the jails and educate the misfortunate that happens to be incarcerated and provide them with vocational training programs and certificates upon graduation to help stop recidivism to prison and make honest working citizens out of the men and women even the adolescents that find themselves incarcerated in places like New Orleans 3rd ward 5th ward and the 7th ward even in Texas in towns like Temple Killeen Copperas Cove Houston and Dallas Texas and help these men and women even adolescents become civilized citizens America earning an honest living wheter entreprenuerial activities or working a day to day job with classes in managing and budgeting their finances .

Every city or country can take this model and use it for their city , town , county or country to better the lives of the people of their society .

Rikers Island

when it moves from the beach out there in Queens into more like the inner city of the boroughs they should have and develop educational and vocational programs for the inmates at Rikers .

I mean government funded school in prison with real certified teachers in GED training and High school completion courses as well as College courses for students that is ready for it and all inmates should be able to practice their religion and culture without any retaliation for it because this gets them to change their life to learn love from the heart and a love for a creator whether themselves or a higher power .

That they believe it internalizes into their heart and spirit of their character thus changing them righteously making them want to take responsibility for their actions and change their savage and brutal behavior into becoming a more valuable human and contribute something to their immediate family instead of taking from their family they can give something in return whether that be financial with the skills productive skills gained while incarecerated or just being a son to mom or dad or a young father to their children being their for their kids raising and teaching them the right things and hopefully they steer them from the same fate that they suffered and endured .

The school programs should include

Basic mathematics - addition subtraction multiplication fractions percents and decimals and each operation in each like how to multiply fractions decimals and percents and then instruct them on algebra and the harder subjects after if follow that sequence more students wouldnt lose interest and then drop out but more can gain their GED diploma then steady employment when released from incarceration which ensures employment and not recidivism to prison and their guidance counselor should make sure to remind the inmate that they can receive a certificate of relief from disabilities when released from prison so that they will have no problem getting a license for their chosen field of employment or to get back in school

English courses Language art classes Earth science class Social studies class

And vocational classes should include :

Mechanics for automotives Carpentry Janitorial Maintenance skills Electrician Plumbing AC and refrigeration

I heard prison has so much private investors to build more prisons even celebrities and corporations are getting in on the action so why not turn jail prison into a more revenue generating machine and a school house for societies so called rejects maybe Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls or Corcraft can invest in creating educational programs for students or even students that have been out of school and who wants to return to society a more reformed person who wants to help provide value to society and not be destructive in society this plan is even better for business because it creates job opportunities for teachers / instructors and teacher assistants principals and financial aid granting Pell grants and full financial aid the plans like all my plans is to help boost the economy by creating more businesses and putting more money in the consumers pocket and creating more job opportunities for those consumers it is reciprocal create jobs you create business .

Let's Make New York great again , true meaning of going left notice he is pointing to me .

I wish I never listened to you and believed the bullshit that life would be better.

I wish poor Charlie didn’t lay around so depressed half the time he couldn’t get up.

I wish my dad never got sick--that he didn’t have the highest blood pressure of his life while they were biopsy-ing a potentially cancerous mass from his throat.

I wish I could talk to my baba.

I wish I never started working at the tech company. It fucked everything up.

I wish I could forgive myself for ruining my life in so many ways.

I wish I never met Jeremy or adopted Charlie. Both of them haunt me, even though one of them is still here.

I wish I could go back to Old Zyrgoth.

I wish I could go back to Amsterdam. I know Vraethir was poisoning me. This time I would strangle him and bash his brains in and take his place.

I wish I never grew so depressed that I can’t even write anymore. I wish I wasn’t so upset that half the time I can’t even get up off the couch.

I wish my mom wasn’t so self-centered and I wish I knew what drugs she was taking.

I wish I could see my grandma again.

I wish someone would help me, but at the same time, I don’t.

I wish the stars would fall from the sky and fuck us all.

I just want to go back.

I wish I went to school for computer science.

I wish I could do what they did to the credit card companies at the end of Fight Club.

I wish I could start a fucking fight club and bash someone’s fucking head in

I wish my life wasn’t over. I wish I hadn’t fucked up so bad.

I wish I never got back on drugs.

I wish I could just fucking gamble. I wish you didn’t interrupt me while I was actually having fun.

I wish I didn’t feel sorry for Charlie and my parents.

I wish i could be back in Woodstock.

I wish I could be in London in 1969.

I wish the disjointed screaming and nightmare visions would stop.

I wish you would stop lying and saying you understand.

Yesterday the doctor said to me, “I know OCD when I see it. I know autism when I see it. I know schizophrenia when I see it.” What do you think this means?

I wish I could go to Norway, to the fjords where Valfar took all those pictures from the shirts that I have 7 copies of, and just scream bloody fucking murder to no one until I tore my voicebox out. Alone.

I wish I went with Jens. That’s the opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime.

I wish I could find Crowley’s dybbuk box.

I wish I could bash my head against the wall again, and again, and again, and again.

I feel so guilty for feeling this way even though I’m “healthy” and “young”.

I wish this was all a nightmare.

I wish more people understood that having a brain this fucked up is a terminal illness.

I wish that it wasn’t going to snow.

I wish I could make you feel as bad as I do, and transfer all my pain to you.

I wish I never met Christopher or any of them, so I never got an illusion of success.

I wish I never started working at that fucking company.

I wish I didn’t ruin the lives of everyone around me with my own fucked up selfish insanity.

I wish I had more Vitamin C. TREMENDOUS HEALTH BENEFITS.

I wish you could cure cancer with a tire iron.

I wish I could talk to Kelli again, only for an hour.

I wish I could go to Ohio and visit her grave.

I wish I could see Lovecraft’s grave too.

I wish the economy would collapse, and the country would cannibalize itself, and that everything that ever plagued me financially would be forgotten.

I wish I could go to Las Vegas.

I WISH ALL THE TELEPHONE LINES WOULD GO DOWN. THE INTERNET. ALL OF IT.

I wish ANYONE WHO EVER KNEW POWER WOULD FALL SO HARD AND SO FAST THAT EVERY BONE IN THEIR BODY WOULD CRACK, THEN I COULD ROLL AROUND IN THE PIECES.

I WISH MY BRAIN WASN’T SO FUCKED UP.

I WISH THE RAMBLING WOULD STOP.

I wish I could turn the world inside out and that it had pretty pink veins beneath the surface and everyone would crawl on them like dogs into the mouth of Azathoth.

I wish everyone else was crazy and I was the sane one.

I wish I could talk to David.

I wish my brain would stop screaming. Screaming. Screaming.

I wish I could sit with David back in time.

Extra Headcannons/Information to Isekai protagonists tier list:

- Most of the PSC are already romantically together in my mind, or lore droppers. (i.e. Nahida, Venti, Dori, Collei)

- I like the idea of Diluc being there in the Reincarnated Hero’s tier. The “Darknight Hero” could be a comic panel, or he could be transported into a generic western royalty Isekai setting in where he is a nobleman who kills and avenges people for wrongdoings.

- Itto seems like too much of a goofball to keep around for to long. It could get grating for some people. But, he would probably appear in a few places, because having enough of him is all the plot could take.

-Yanfei is probably an unimportant side character lawyer who appears for one season, then leaves to have cameos here and there. The same with most of the other background characters. Klee, Qiqi, and Sayu are kids that need help to make the hero or villain seem kind. Xiangling and Faruzan are the younger cersion’s chef’s/Teacher’s/Aid. Aloy is a hunter or crossover character. She could also be a Reincarnated Hero du to her being brought to Teyvat.

- Although I love Tartaglia being a Reincarnated Villain, I think he also has a life being in the protagonists’ love life. He would most likely be either a reincarnated villain love interest, or be said villain love interest that either has to die or gets a happily ever after. Hope he avoids those death flags!🚩🚩🚩

-Aether and Lumine always being separated is ✨✨Amazing✨✨/j

-Although Ei/Raiden could be the original villain, but I was thinking Yae Miko could have reincarnated into that world and try to “calm” Ei from her warmongering ways.

- Hu Tao probably died thinking she would move on to the afterlife. Nope. Gotta suffer once more. BUT! She could most likely be either or a Hero or Villain. But, she is like other isekai protagonists in where she creates a burial service because she wants to work and to not be the royal mistress of a marriage. She could have been a manga/light novel fan who went to that world and wants to live a peaceful life without any worry. So, she becomes a funeral parlor director, and opens a shop, but most likely moves around, so she’s a traveling mortician and it would be a slice of life and be oh so great!

- The Second Romantic Lead’s are the prominent other lead that could also be reincarnated characters. Who knows! But, their fate are to not love the main love interests.

- The Other Romantic Lead Side Characters are the extra harem members that could get a spin-off. They deserve better.

- Funny idea. Diona, Kaeya, and Diluc are in the same universe. Kaeya and Diluc are old childhood friends that fell apart and but heads during every ball scene, who aids Diona in sabotaging the economy of the Kingdom they live in, and to deplete the lands of their resources, as they have personal vendettas. The romantic interests would be Kaeya and Albedo.

- Ningguang could totally be a villain who will never tell the hero they were behind some of the major incidents in the story. Beidou is her love who is just out having fun.

- Layla is THE total underdog.

- Gorou could totally be a hero too!

- Layla and Candace would probably be the two heroes of their world, fighting against a corrupt system first, and then they improve the community, and become a separate area from the old country itself. It just has the vibes.

- Mr. Ayato is a total sussy man. But he would most likely be avoidant of the Hero and instead ends up with Thoma. His world has Scaramouch as the kid wanting revenge, and Ayato is a villain who then helps Scaramouch in exchange for him not killing Ayato. Maybe they are all in the same world with Yae Miko and Ei, and this ends with the fight of two reincarnated friends(?) trying to kill each other for what they believe is right,

Honorable Mentions!:

Baizhu gives the sussy vibes, but would probably be a reluctant reincarnated hero, or a “Do my own thing” hero. He could also be a suspicious romantic interest.

Dottore is a total villain. Also the rest of the Fatui until stated later.

Yaoyao is probably a kid who will teach the hero how to survive in the wild then promptly disappear until a time skip.

Al Haitham would be a important

- A: Reincarnated Hero B: Romantic Lead C: Reincarnated Villain

Kaveh would maybe be the opposite of what Al Haitham is, and would totally be a huge Yaoi Manhwa with a Arabian setting maybe.
