Okay. Listen to "Not fall in love with you" but from Oscars perspective. It's uncanny how perfectly it fits..

THE PLAY WAS MAGNIFICENT

first of all no rendition of Romeo and Juliet has ever gotten me to experience a single emotion, at all, ever, it’s just “ah this is a pleasant way to pass the time and also aesthetically pleasing” BUT THIS ONE?  THIS ONE RIGHT HERE? THE SCENE, OKAY, the scene where my girl Juliet has just faked her death and her parents come in and think she’s dead, right after they’ve both just been so horrid to her to force her to marry Paris-  okay this scene went on a bit and my eyes! would not! stop misting! they wouldn’t leave me alone i kept getting choked! the whole little funeral sequence- people were putting flowers and candles at the front of the stage while this Balthazar character (WHO WAS PLAYED BY A GORGEOUS LADY IN FLANNEL WEARING A SWORD) sang a song and the parents are just standing there crying and the nurse is crying and I WAS. FEELING THINGS AHHHHHHH

the whole script was exactly as willshakes wrote it in terms of dialogue but it was set in the 50′s/60′s with a sort of dilapidated school as the main background and ROMEO WAS WEARIN FLANNEL. BALTHAZAR (MY HERO) WAS WEARIN FLANNEL. THERE WERE WAISTCOATS AND THAT- WHAT, TWEED? MERCUTIO  HAD ON A LAVENDER LEATHER JACKET. THERE WERE T-SHIRTS AND JUST. GOOOOOOOD COSTUME. THE MUSIC WAS LIT AND THEY SANG SEVERAL SONGS WOOOOO

it cannot be overstated that Balthazar was played by this like. very incredibly smol lady whose sword was almost bigger than she was and she walked with this. swagger. and had a fantastic voice and delivered a flat “what” at one point and was wearing a green flannel like wendy from gravity falls  and she spent the whole play 100% dishing callouts and very clearly wanting to fight some people and during the masked ball scene she danced with another lady who might or might not have also been playing a dude and she also danced with mercutio’s ghost at one point and was just. 15/10 amazing and deserves her own spin-off.

juliet was stunning, fabulous, loved her and would fully protect her from all harm. 

every person in the play was. very. very handsome too  which was a huge bonus and there was a lil guy named Peter who mostly ran shrieking from combat and got ordered around by Nurse but he also played in the band and was cute as hell and i would die for him. long live peter

PARIS WAS SO SWEET IN THIS VERSION WHAT AN ANGEL? HE SANG LIKE ONE OHHHH YES HE SANG A LITTLE SONG! AT THE PARTY! IT WAS VERY SWEET!

Mercutio was also in the band and could also sing really well and i don’t actually have words to describe his performance but like. momsauce says he looked like a young, dark-haired Sean Penn so make of that what you will. Benvolio looked like Burton Guster from Psych and man were they a comedic duo

I LAUGHED A LOT IN THIS PLAY? THE WHOLE FIRST ACT WAS HYSTERICAL ACTUALLY from Mercutio’s antics to Benvolio’s teasing to overdramatic!Romeo (AND BOY WAS HE OVERDRAMATIC IT WAS BEAUTIFUL) i was near about wheezing before the first fight scene (poor peter)

in the beginning of the play Benvolio got a cut on his hand and they bandaged it and when he held up his hand there was blood on the bandage but then later whenever a character was literally dying of being stabbed there was not a drop of blood they just kinda rolled around on the floor and made sounds and then flopped it was great

ROMEO NOW, ROMEO. BABY BOY. Romeo has never been my type but THIS ROMEO SURE WAS first of all he looked like a young, fluffy-haired Sebastian Stan okay like exactly like a Sebastian Stan so already that’s trouble but then HE WAS JUST SO DUMB. SO OVERDRAMATIC. SO STUPID AND THEN HE SAW JULIET AND WAS ALL SOFT AND AWKWARD AND  S T U P I D  i’m gonna cry he was such a dumbass and he kept doing this idiotic hair flip he was insanely adorable

during the whole pilgrim/lips thing Juliet said something vaguely afronted about her lips taking sin from Romeo’s and he kind of panicked and was like “GIVE ME BACK MY SIN” and they went in for another kiss

their morning after scene had absolutely NO business being as cute as it was

everyone was hella obscenely tactile and i was LIVING FOR IT the entire time like Juliet was 10000% aware of how floofy and soft Romeo’s hair was and she was FOR IT but A L S O Benvolio? and Mercutio? And their other friend whose name was never spoken aloud? SO TACTILE. MERCUTIO KISSED ONE DUDE FULL ON THE MOUTH AND IT WENT ON FOR A GOOD FIVE SECONDS OR SO THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN HE WOULDN’T BE STOPPED. THERE WERE HUGS, JUST. CONSTANTLY. HUGGIN EVERYWHERE. CUDDLES LIKE CONFETTI ROMEO EVEN HUGGED THE FRIAR

romeo’s actual death was actually very disturbing because he didn’t just flop after drinking the poison he like. really sold it and idk where his oscar is for convincing me that he as a person actually needed some paramedics but it genuinely hurt me to listen to him choke for what had to be a full three minutes but honestly could have been any length of time because it was horrific and i’ll probably have nightmares :’)

bUT I MEAN OTHER THAN THAT CAN WE JUST GO BACK TO THE FACT THAT EVERYONE WAS ABSURDLY ADORABLE AND I ACTUALLY? REALLY LOVED THE CHARACTERS AND THEY ALL CAME TO LIFE AND THE MUSIC WAS MMMMMMMMMMMONPOINT AND IT WAS JUST. VERY. VERY. INCREDIBLY SATISFYING AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER BECAUSE I AM SO READY FOR HAMLET EEEEEE

Abuse Double Standards in RWBY

Sit with me for a moment and look at these two images. One depicts a 14 year old boy being punched in the face by a grown adult man and the other is an 18 year old girl being slapped in the face by another grown adult man. 

The difference? One is framed in a serious manner, the camera panning away so we see the action as if from afar, on an angle, highlighting just how small Weiss is in comparison to her Father. Showing us the pain on her face. Making it expressly clear just how horrible the situation is. The other? A close up of Oscar’s face which is comically contorting. Speed lines indicate the force of the punch bringing to mind vintage comic strips and campy violence. Its a joke. This is supposed to be entertaining. We’re supposed to look at this image and feel amusement and nostalgia for villains getting their cummuppence. 

We’re expected to look at Weiss getting slapped and feel disgust and horror. 

We’re expected to look at Oscar getting punched (regardless of Oz’s presence its Oscar’s face and body we’re watching) and snicker. 

Could you imagine if the tone of these two violent actions were reversed? If, when Jacques went in to slap Weiss, the camera ZOOMED IN on her face, the frames slowing down so we can comically watch her eyes bulge as her skin ripples from the force of the slap like some Things but Very Slowly skit? I wonder how many apologies RT would need to make before anyone decided to continue watching their show again. 

The thing is, RT didn’t need to apologize for turning the violence against Oz/car into a joke. They didn’t need to apologize for showing Oz on his knees crying and being shown neither a shred of dignity or compassion. People defended their choices to do these things, defended Qrow and the kids where Jacques was (rightly) thrown in the trash bin. 

In fact, unlike the other characters of the show (notably the 90% female cast) RT seems to enjoy showing us all the nitty grittys when it comes to Oscar’s abuse. 

They make sure that when he’s being hurt, we see everything.

Everyone else has been fighting Grimm all night but Oscar is the one we see beat up and tired. 

Even when he’s landing an attack on an enemy, RT just couldn’t resist making Oscar punch himself in the face. Zoomed in of course. 

The closest that we really get to showing the close-up suffering and injury of the girls (to my memory) are

1. Pyrrha’s death

2. Weiss’s near-death

3. Penny’s death

RT tends to spare us the gorey details usually when it comes to the female cast being injured. Usually hiding the actual wound, panning away, using shadows or silhouettes to give us the idea of what’s happening without showing us the full suffering of the character, only really showing us it when its something truly tragic or serious. 

For Oscar, its just another Tuesday. 

I’ve mainly focused on Oscar for these comparisons because this fetishization of suffering happens to him the most, but RT also didn’t stray away from Sun getting slapped, and screamed at by Blake (the slap again meant to be a ‘joke’), Ozma being burned alive and James literally skinning his own arm for our viewing pleasure. Not to mention the big amusement of them zooming in and slowing down Marrow nearly having his tail burned by Weiss which was, of course, big funny. I mean, remember the time the show joked about someone nearly cutting Blake’s ears off her head? No?  Weird, its almost like making jokes about the suffering of your characters isn’t funny. 

What I feel it boils down to is a disconnect for the respect afforded to characters of the male gender. The abuse and emotions of the female cast members (Including Salem) always take precedence in being shown in a very serious light. People are expected to sympathize with them and they’re rarely shown in ‘weak’ or ‘pathetic’ situations that the narration doesn’t code tragically. They’re afforded dignity and empowered in their actions and place in the story. Male characters are always made out as weaker than their female counterparts and their emotions and abuse are treated as jokes or ultimately their fault, their suffering as entertainment. If Sun slapped Blake, no one would think it was a joke. If Ruby was being perved on by a bunch of men while working, it wouldn’t be funny (But apparently ‘thirsty mom’s are hilarious). If Yang threw Weiss into a wall, shook and screamed at her, people would care about how Weiss felt after.  

But I guess these things only matter if you’re a girl, huh?

Don’t worry guys, all we have to do is wait for the group to lose sight of Oscar and he’ll reappear 3 episodes later totally ripped with a new haircut and wondering why everyone looks so surprised to see him.
