Hate how the Doctor initiated Ruby to regeneration all tenderly and calmly and in the context of the Doctor's granddaughter of all things. I needed her to be jumpscared with that information in the most Traumatic episode of her life. Like a true RTD companion.
#rose? got an explanation literally ten seconds before he turned into david tennant#martha? got warned a few minutes before crashing into the fucking sun#Donna? never even was informed#the doctor just showed up 20 years later and got bazookad by a God with a laser#SO WHY DOES RUBY GET THIS PRIVILEGE#doctor who#dw#ruby sunday#fifteenth doctor#ncuti gatwa#millie gibson#the legend of ruby sunday

##. MY HEART'S GOING LUB-DUB
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07b2099b311677027eacb36f8493f45b/9837cca2e1eaae92-59/s540x810/1c41cda366a03c1a7d568bcfc94e4006ebb3746c.jpg)
♡ things he has said that flustered you.
♡ contents and warnings: established relationships, mentions of making out (nirei), mentions of marriage (sakura), reader’s ears are pierced in suou’s, mild, mild, possessiveness in suou's but not really 🐧
♡ characters: sakura haruka, nirei akihiko, suou hayato (x gn! reader)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07b2099b311677027eacb36f8493f45b/9837cca2e1eaae92-59/s540x810/1c41cda366a03c1a7d568bcfc94e4006ebb3746c.jpg)
Anyone who knows SAKURA HARUKA probably knows that contrary to the delinquent facade he puts up, he is actually quite innocent. A little naive, if you will, blushing at every show of romantic affection. And everyone in Boufuurin knows that’s why he’s become subject to Suou Hayato’s teasing when the brown haired boy needed a good chuckle. And of course, you, as his very lovely partner, had to also jump on the bandwagon of endearingly poking fun at your boyfriend.
“Y’know, Haruka, you should stop me or else I’m gonna get carried away and keep teasing you even after we get married!” This was a sentence you often say for laughs after you had yet again successfully made Haruka agitated and his cheeks flushing a deep shade of red, all the way up to his ears. Granted, the first time he heard it he couldn’t look you in the eye for two whole days at the mention marriage (it’s not that he doesn’t like it, in fact it was because he likes it a little too much that he couldn’t even make eye contact without imagining you in fancy white attire). But now, he barely bats an eye at it now with how often you say it. But today, it’s evident that that particular sentence had poked at someone’s curiosity as you can sense someone staring at you as you banter with your boyfriend.
“You know, Sakura-kun, I barely see you reacting to... that. You’re really planning to marry them in the future, huh?” Ah, it's Suou again. His soothing voice drips with mischief, the purpose of his question is obviously to tease his heterochromatic eyed peer yet again. Haruka’s features morph into one of confusion, brows furrowed as he turns to face his vice captain.
“Hah? What are you talking about?” Haruka inquires like suou’s question is the most ridiculous question in the world. If you didn’t know any better you would have thought suou was asking him if he believed pigs could fly, or if the earth was actually a hexagon.
(Of course, you can’t lie, suou’s question made you nervous despite how lighthearted he said it. Your self consciousness has already prepared itself for a heartbreak trip as you await your boyfriend to continue his response.)
“Why would I date someone I don’t intend on marrying?”
Ah, now it’s your cheeks that are heating up.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07b2099b311677027eacb36f8493f45b/9837cca2e1eaae92-59/s540x810/1c41cda366a03c1a7d568bcfc94e4006ebb3746c.jpg)
“Are you done?” The only answer SUOU HAYATO offers to your inquiry is a focused hum. His hand fumbles with the earring, his earring, as he tries to carefully slide the hook into the small hole on your right earlobe. Though, you have to say, you have nothing particular to complain about as you wait for your boyfriend to put the earring on you. After all, you’re getting the privilege of being in the front seat staring at Suou Hayato’s face as he carefully tries to put the earring on you. Lips pursed and eyes squinted a little, he looks extra handsome when he’s focused, you note.
“Just need to secure them with the back. And... done!” he heaves out a breath as triumph takes over his features, pulling back slightly to admire his (hardly) hard work. His lips stretch into a smile, satisfied at how the red and yellow of his earring highlights your features more.
“How does it look?” you feel quite nervous as you wait for his reply, shyly peering at him through your eyelashes. Being so close, you have the advantage of watching closely for any twitch of his features that might indicate satisfaction, dissatisfaction, anything that can indicate what kind of reaction he’s going to emit.
You twitch slightly at the sensation of his pointer finger and middle finger grazing your chin, touch gentle as he settles them there. You swear you see something flashing in his usually gentle ruby eyes. Something akin to satisfaction, or, even, possessiveness. But you don't comment on it. He moves your head from your side to side as if to examine you thoroughly. (he quietly notes how cute you are for compliantly moving your head.) It’s only when you feel the earring faintly brushing against your right shoulder that you become hyper aware of how empty your left ear feels without an earring weighing it down. You also become hyper aware of the fact that the earring’s pair is still dangling from his left ear, eyes instinctively flitting to it. Your cheeks begin to heat up. Oh, it’s almost as if you’re wearing a couple ite-
He interrupts your thought before you can finish it.
“I quite like it, it’s pretty on you,” his voice breaks your train of thought. His smile is quite literally dripping with mischief, and now you can clearly see it. The tint of greed in his eyes is back as he moves his fingers that were formerly resting on your chin to stroke at the earring on your ear. His composed facade would have fooled you if it weren’t for the words he utters next.
“It gives off the feeling that you’re mine.”
Oh he likes it, alright. Too much, maybe.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07b2099b311677027eacb36f8493f45b/9837cca2e1eaae92-59/s540x810/1c41cda366a03c1a7d568bcfc94e4006ebb3746c.jpg)
“Sorry. D’you need a break?” NIREI AKIHIKO’s voice is devoid of any teasing lilt, instead dripping with concern as he gazes at you through his eyelashes, eyes half lidded and cheeks flushed with a pretty tint of pink.
It’s not the words by themselves. It’s the fact that he’s saying those words in this kind of situation. By this kind of situation, you mean with you perched up on his lap, legs splayed on either side of his thighs as he lay seated on a couch beneath you. He had uttered those exact words after what felt like 10 minutes straight of kissing
(it hadn’t even been 5 minutes, but you could barely think with how clouded your mind is).
His question was thoroughly leaking with worry, caramel orbs boring through you as he awaits your reply. You wanted to say yes, hell, your lungs were begging you to say yes as they heaved desperately yes. You have to give your boyfriend credit, though. Sweet like always, he had noticed he had gone a little too far when he felt your lips part with breathless whines on his, and had asked if you needed a time out. Though, you don’t think he’s aware of how his voice shakes with want, or how his fingers that are resting on your hips squeezed hard like he was trying to ground himself, or how his eyes are swirling with something akin to need.
(or how he barely sounded apologetic when he apologized, and you suspect it’s because his pride soars with the knowledge that he’s the one making you breathless.)
“No,” you’re surprised at how hoarse your voice sounds, though, that is to be expected after you quite literally just had your breath taken away. Your thumb reaches out to swipe at his quivering bottom lip, gleaming with saliva and a little swollen from pressing against yours repeatedly. He leans into your touch, and you gulp away the feeling of your tugging heartstrings. “Keep kissing me, lover boy.”
And as he lurches forward to clash your lips together again, the last thought that etches on your mind was that he really should put this on his resume: Nirei Akihiko, 16, not good at fighting (yet), hella good at kissing.

I dreamt of a blue butterfly 4
(i'm changing back to the normal way of writing dialogue, since i think people prefer it that way on tumblr.)
Ruby: So, uh... Cardin, right?
Cardin: *sigh* Yes.
Ruby: Where are you from?
Cardin: Vale... What about you?
Ruby: Patch. My dad and uncle are teachers in signal. They taught me everything i know!
Cardin: i see...
Ruby: You uh... You ok?
Cardin: *look at Ruby* honestly? I wanted to be in a team with my friends. I didn't expect a little girl to crash into me at Mach 3.
Ruby: Hey! I'm good enough to be here! I'm not too young or-
Cardin: I meant your height.
Ruby: .... Well i wasn't expecting to crash into a giant in armor either, but here we are.
Cardin: ...
Ruby: ...
Both: *thinking* (God this is so awkward)
________
Yang: Wait, you never trained!? How did you enter Beacon!?!
Jaune: I signed a contract? Didn't you do the same?
Yang: No! I- Holy shit, you could have died! You should have died! And that explains your lack of aura...
Jaune: W-well, i'm here aren't i? Alive and-
Yang: Dude! Do you know how dangerous your situation is!?! I wasn't trained to protect a civy yet!
Jaune: I got a sword... And a shield?
Yang: *sarcastically* Congratulations! You have a twig and a sheet of paper, for all the good it would make. *Sigh* I guess i should activate your aura, uh? It should give you some protection, at least.... Give me your hand, VB.
Jaune: already back with that nickname?
Yang: You lost your name privilege when i learned you were an absolute moron. *Taking his hand* Now, hold still and... Uh...
Jaune: What's wrong?
Yang: ... That can't be... VB, you are 100% sure you didn't get your aura unlocked?
Jaune: Yang, i didn't even know what aura WAS 10 minutes ago.
Yang: Well... Uh... It seems like it's already unlocked... That would explain why you survived but... Why didn't it activate when that branch slapped you in the face and why were you unconscious? You should have been fine...
Jaune: *looking behind yang* Uh... Yang?
Yang: *not really listening, thinking about the strange condition Jaune has* Hm?
Jaune: What does a grimm look like?
Yang: An animal with plaque armor, why?
Jaune: So uh... Not a floating pumpkin with a lantern?
Yang: ...What?
Jaune: *pointing behind her* because i see at least 3 looking at us.

White tears, brown scars and the internet jumping on a black trans person hate campaign.
I realise that a lot of the OL fandom are under 25 and are still at an age where y’all are learning and maturing and that’s great. However as someone who is close to being 40 I need y’all to do some reading for me.
White Tears, Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hand.
The black person at the centre of all this is a trans person that doesn’t identify as a woman. Yet all I see is blatant misgendering. This black person upset you, therefore their gender identity becomes meaningless.
Sadly, this behaviour isn’t new to me. I’ve watched it happen for too long many times over the years.
So of course what is the next step when white people get in their feelings? They hit the pockets of creators. Demanding refunds, getting them demonetised, trying to silence them by any means necessary.
The most recent example of this that I can think off is White Woman Whisper on TikTok. During the man vs bear debate, she pointed out that black women generally, would feel safer in a board room setting with a white man than a white woman. Oh boy did the white women get all up in their feelings about that. Within hours, White Woman Whisper had been removed from the TikTok creators program and hate white women making endless think pieces about how upset they were.
Y’know what? Tough. Sometimes y’all need to ti be told the truth even if it upsets you. I don’t trust white people, and I’m half white myself.
When a white person makes a mistake it’s “they’re young, they’ll learn. Everyone needs grace to grow and become better.”
When a black person makes a mistake it’s, “wow, that’s so disrespectful how can you think that? I hope you get fired. I’m reporting your comments to your boss, your school, I’m going to blast you on the internet.”
We don’t get “grace”, we aren’t allowed to learn and grow. There’s immediately “discourse” and the need to hold that black person “accountable.”
Where is this smoke for 99% of white folks who use their privilege as a shield.
It’s not until a whole person does something that crosses a line and stars upsetting white women that they start to get called out.
See JK Rowling and Elon Musk as examples. Queen Terfette literally named the only black adult in the series “Shacklebolt” and no one batted an eye. Her name choices were praised for being “clever” and “imaginative.”
She even did an interview where she called her fans “delusional” and no one spoke up against her. Even when she started saying openly transphobic things, she was protected. Until the dam burst and the tables turned.
And yet all that time black folks and other people of colour were calling her out and pointing out the lazy and offensive ways she talks and writes about non white people.
Which brings me to this morning, and I wake up to y’all dog piling on a black trans person for … saying that the way black trans men are portrayed made them uncomfortable.
Y’all are exhausting.
No, we don’t have to sugar coat our feelings to protect yours. No, we aren’t responsible for your actions and reactions to us. No, we aren’t being “aggressive” or “mean” or “confrontational” when we speak up for ourselves.
I’ve read some comments about disliking the discord profile pic. Okay. I mean, I personally snorted at it when I saw it. But y’know what? Y’all need to ask yourselves why you don’t like it. Is it because a black person is holding a whip? Is it because some white dudes are working the fields?
Here’s a story from the book Medical Bondage: Race, Gender, and the origins of American Gynaecology by Deirdre Cooper Owens.
When white slave owners wanted to punish pregnant black slaves (who were forced to work even when they were heavily pregnant), they would get a slave to dig a hole large enough for the woman’s pregnant stomach, then have the woman lie face down - her stomach in the newly dug hole.
The slave master would then proceed to whip the pregnant woman with the hopes that the unborn baby would feel the mother’s pain and behave better when they born.
Did that upset you? Did it make you disgusted and angry? I felt that way. I was so horrified I had to walk away from the book and calm down.
Black people still feel that generational trauma. We still have to live with the knowledge that is it what was recorded. Who knows what else happened to our enslaved ancestors that never got recorded? We’ll never know. That will always haunt us.
And y’all are upset over a picture that never actually happened.
Stop.
When Kendrick said “they not like us” he was talking about y’all.

“Breathe it in baby, because I am EXUDING and I am one of a kind.”
Okay so, I fell behind in Doctor Who because I’ve been job searching for like seven fucking months and a few weeks ago one came up that could be a good fit so I was trying to super focus on doing well through the interview loop even though I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to amount to anything because I’d gone through a ton of interview loops by that point but
Y’ALL, I GOT THAT JOB! My horrible, soul-sucking ordeal is finally over, the paperwork is signed and I have a start date and everything has settled. Which means, I can finally catch up on 15 and my girl Ruby.
Let’s gooooo!
73 Yards
Alright, I know there was upset around this episode because everyone is like ‘what the eff does it mean?’ but ooooh, I really enjoyed it. It was creepy as HELL and it just never stopped.
Wherein, Ruby and the Doctor pop over to Wales (this mofo really spends much too much time in Wales) and while on a cliffside, he steps on something AGAIN!!!!! and everything goes wrong.
Baby boy, did you not learn anything from the mine? Do you not take a scan around when you land somewhere, or are you just too excited about being adorable in your little yellow jacket and the hat and the stripes? You look fantastic, I get it, but peep down at those cute ass boots once in a while.
I have to say, I’m impressed by Millie Gibson in this episode. It’s a lot of pressure to put on her to carry the entire thing, and she did it really well. How devastating is it to have your best friend disappear, realize you’re being followed by some crazy apparition that literally scares anyone and everyone away from you?
Without any explanation. That’s the part that gets me. She becomes a piranha with this horrific THING attached to her and everyone she begs for help leaves her. Eve her MOTHER! It’s a mind fuck.
And I really wasn't sure where the episode was going, so I was excited for Kate Lethbridge-Stewart to show up, I was like ‘yeah let’s get UNIT into this mess’ and then she’s affected too and oh hell, that’s like, the last line of defense.
Ruby, completely and utterly alone. And they just make her live out her entire life like that. And she tries to fix it, of course, the whole thing with the Welsh politician was a really good attempt babe, I would have done the same thing but then that doesn’t even work?!
And so everyone is all ruffled because, what was the point of it, really? What was the message, what was the meaning??!
Was she actually the apparition? If not, who was she? And then, it just ends and none of it ever really happened at all and there’s absolutely no resolution.
Why do we love making companions live these horrible alternate timelines? How many times did we make Amy live different lives? I feel like she at least remembered most of them. But with Ruby in this one, there’s no lesson. She learns nothing, neither of them do.
But still, I loved the creeping sense of unease, so I guess I don’t really need all the details.
Dot and Bubble
I’m simultaneously annoyed and intrigued by shows that keep telling me allegories about the dangers of technology and how dependent we are on it. So far, it’s mostly been annoyed, but oh my god y’all really hit the nail on the head with this one.
Wherein, a bunch of privileged youths are existing in a perfect society that enables them to basically LIVE social media, literally surrounded by a bubble that feeds them other people’s inanity all day long.
One thing I have to say about this episode is that the angles are something else. Lindy, the girl we’re seeing everything through is alternately absolutely beautiful, and kind of weird looking? She’s got perfect social media face. Is that a weird thing to say? I stand by it. It’s like she’s covered in the perfect ring light. It was distracting. And probably part of the point.
Basically, this girl has no idea that there are monsters in her fake ass society that are eating her friends, and she is very not into the Doctor and Ruby trying to help her. Like, they’re trying to get her out of danger, only to find out that she doesn’t have any idea how to walk without wearing her ‘bubble’ is so deeply disturbing. Watching this girl say “forward” to convince herself to move is amazing and upsetting on a lot of different levels.
And then out of nowhere, media star Ricky September shows up and he literally starts giving her directions like the bubble would do and I’m like ‘okay that’s interesting’, we’re subverting the idea that this incredibly popular personality is a vapid idiot because it turns out he READS and he’s taking pity on this girl that is literally a shell of a person without the aid of technology. And it was so sweet.
Basically, this episode is infuriating because at one point Lindy hugs Ricky and tells him she’s never been hugged before (even though we know she at least has a mother) but THEN later, when the Doctor tells her everyone is being killed in alphabetical order and Ricky is trying to fight off the dot that is literally trying to murder her, she RATS HIM OUT. His real last name starts with C, he should be dead already.
Confusingly innocent and absolutely cut throat at the same time? I guess if you live your entire life exclusively online you don’t go through things that would actually cultivate compassion? Which honestly, is not an unfounded idea. That should make y’all feel queasy.
And to make it all exponentially worse, they flat out tell the Doctor they can’t accept his help because he’s not “one of us”. Just straight up, really gross, really overt racism.
15, honey, I get it, but please don’t beg racists to let them save you. You’re too good for this world, babes. That gut wrenching shout though? Absolute perfection. And the tears. You marvelous thing.
TL;DR Humanity is disgusting and technology will continue to feed our uglier tendencies. I felt that one deep in my damn bones.
Rogue
Okay hear me out. This episode is EVERYTHING.
Y’all know I have a thing for boys in love. And I also have a thing for the Doctor flirting with basically anyone. I don’t particularly have a thing for the regency era necessarily, but I AM about incredible costumes and ridiculous plots.
I was honest to god squealing this entire episode.
Wherein, 15 and Ruby show up to a ball in 1813 so they can pretend they’re in Bridgerton, meet a handsome young bounty hunting rake, talk a LOT about cosplaying, and deal with bird???! aliens???
There are a million details I loved in this one. The orchestra playing an instrumental version of “Bad Guy” and then later “Pokerface”. The absolutely incredible suit they put on 15.
Not to mention: JONATHAN GROFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved him in Mindhunter, loved him in Glee (before it got absolutely ridiculous and when I didn’t know any better) but holy shiiiiiit I would watch him as Rogue every. damn. day.
River Song will always and forever be my number one love for the Doctor, but I was absolutely immediately charmed by Rogue. I’m not sure why, and it doesn’t really matter.
How absolutely adorable was the psychic paper displaying “you’re hot”? Or the bit where the Doctor figures out Rogue’s ship is wired for sound and the system blares “Can’t Get Your Outta My Head” and he lip syncs along while Rogue dies of embarrassment?
The entire episode was just two dorks flirting and my heart was so happy. I don’t know why, but when 15 started singing “Pure Imagination” while showing Rogue around the Tardis, I thought I was going to die.
I love that he can be so carefree and fun and adorable, but also extremely emotional and unafraid to show it. We’ve seen so many different facets of 15 already, and his obvious and silly flirty self is definitely my favorite part so far.
Also, the fact that the Chuldur (again, bird aliens I guess? Sure) were basically just a race that went around cosplaying other people was so camp. I’ve seen a lot of posts about how the newest theory is that 15 and Ruby are somehow in some weird sort of tv show universe this season, and this episode definitely fuels that a little bit.
And maybe y’all are onto something with that, but I honestly don’t care to figure out what’s going on, I just want to be along for the ride.
Of course though, we can’t have an episode that’s all fun and games. The Doctor went all in on shooting his shot with Rogue and it distracted him and it put Ruby in trouble, because of course. Maybe we should stop promising random mothers that their kids are gonna be safe? Doctor, baby, you know that they aren’t always going to be safe.
But if you weren’t charmed by Rogue before that point, you had to jump on his bandwagon when he pushes Ruby out of the transport trap and just says “Find me” before he’s blasted away with the stupid birds to some far off dimension.
BALLER MOVE, baby boy. Baller ass move. Because ya know what? 15 is not going to be able to resist that. And you know how I know? Because that boy put your ring on his finger and I will ship the fuck out of you two forever and ever because of that.
The doctor has definitely been known to kiss people he’s only just met, but this time might be in the top 3. I thought Madame de Pompadour was good? Nah girl, ya bumped down. This kiss was better. Just me sat on the couch with heart eyes for days.
So yeah, I think I’ve decided I like letting a few stack up so I can watch them in a row. Watching them boomerang between crazy scenarios and thinking about all of that at the same time is more fun.
I’m loving this season. It’s ridiculous, it’s different, it’s a bunch of things I didn’t even realize I wanted. Gimme more pleaaaaase.

These stans who hate Jamie Bower are just as pathetic and stupid as Jess Moloney, because they have forgotten one thing (they know it but they prétend for I don’t know what hell reason), it is that if Jess exists and she paraded on the red carpets with Jamie and she had the privilege of accompanying him to each of his events it is thanks to Jamie Bower and certainly not thanks to herself.
Jess had stalked Jamie like a crazy woman for years, in order to learn things about his professional life and in particular his private to the point of stalking his ex partners (Matilda and maybe Ruby) and she managed to get into his life, this woman has no talent and the only thing she knows to do is to date with men in order to manipulate them to get jobs as she did in the past with her ex boyfriends in order to get a modeling contract at Dona Management and with the late Vivienne Westwood and Jess had decided to aim higher by starting to revolve around the more famous men MGK, the late Liam Payne and finally Jamie Bower that she finally managed to have as a trophy in a shameful and disrespectful way and this woman does not like to work, she simply forced herself to work and she was not motivated and fulfilled in her old jobs (she was more motivated and fulfilled to party and drink alcohol), she worked for money nothing else, because she had no choice (she probably still does it now) and I will add that she does not make any effort for her companies in New York and London (Does she really have a company in New York and a compagny in London ? Personally I don’t think so) and it’s Renell who does all the work and I’ll add that it was thanks to all her lies about old professional experiences and « her fake current work as a co-founder of Ice Studio since 2019 » that she managed to date with Jamie and the only thing she knows to do is to be Jamie Bower’s girlfriend comme tu l’as dit, but her stans refuse to accept the truth about her life of lying and scammer, knowing that they describe her as perfect.
Jess had stalked Jamie like a crazy woman for years, in order to learn things about his professional life...
Not only that but she clearly changed her look, style, personality, and hobbies to make sure they aligned with everything Jamie would like which is just so creepy.
this woman has no talent and the only thing she knows to do is to date with men in order to manipulate them to get jobs
I agree, she doesn't have any talent at anything she does. She claims to have a degree in marketing, a masters degree, and yet I know more than her about marketing and I never went to school for that. If this woman really does have a degree for that she didn't get it legitimately.
this woman does not like to work, she simply forced herself to work and she was not motivated and fulfilled in her old jobs
It's kind of obvious from her Beats Rewind interview that she's the type of person to delgate all work she doesn't want to do to other people on her team and/or complain that people aren't doing things her way so she doesn't want to work with them. It also explains why she was never able to keep any job for more than two years (sometimes she only had them for a matter of months)
(she was more motivated and fulfilled to party and drink alcohol)
Was? I think you mean still is. She still drinks even being with Jamie and there are countless photos of her partying with tonnes of alcohol around before that. It's probably why she deleted her Twitter, so he could never see how much she posted about drinking to a point where a lot of it was red flags to her being an alcoholic herself (which even if she was one she'd never admit it she's too much of a narcissist to think she could have a problem with anything)
(Does she really have a company in New York and a compagny in London ? Personally I don’t think so)
Her company in England [link] is on paper only. I'm sure, positive even, that she doesn't do any work on it or for it, nor does she have any clients that she's managing officially because she can't do that in the states without a license and she doesn't have one. Why she keeps that business open and keeps paying for it to drive her into more and more debt I can't tell you.
The business is located in Hove which is about an hour and forty-five minutes away from London. So no, her business is not technically in London. As for Ice Studios, Renell won't even confirm that Jess owns half of it and even if Jess does own half of it, she's literally never in New York unless it's for a party or some kind of PR stunt. Jess, 100% doesn't do any work to run either of these companies she just holds onto them by name.
the only thing she knows to do is to be Jamie Bower’s girlfriend
And that is the bottom line. If Jess had any sort of career to the level she claims before Jamie then googling her (a few years ago) would have gotten more information than the fact that she is dating Jamie (or was). She should have had a LinkedIn account before late last year (she didn't) and even now that she's made one it's barely got any information on it. I'm 100% sure Jess got Jamie, saw dollar signs, thought that she could trick him into bankrolling her lavish lifestyle forever, and is now losing her mind that it all fell through. I hope all of her lies get exposed and I hope that she's unable to con anyone else.
Unfortunately people like Jess surround themselves with enablers who will only ever protect them and help them because they are either too stupid (or too brainwashed) to see what kind of monster she really is. It seems like Renell is going to stick around her no matter what even though it's obviously been detrimental for Renell to stick with her. Scam artists like Jess will always find ways to scam people out of money. All we can hope is that after this massive exposure it's a lot harder for her to do and she'll fade into obscurity once again never to come back out of it.

You know what I think was wasted potential.... RWBY VS CINDER group that was always teased in the openings of vol 2 and 3
For a reminder in the opening of Vol 2 towards the middle to the end we were teased there was going to be a battle between Weiss vs Emerald, Blake vs Roman, Yang vs Mercury, and Ruby vs Cinder.
While in Vol 3 towards the end we were getting a with the same battle except Blake was now fighting with Adam. And with what we knew about RWBY and the villains at that time made sense.
Weiss vs Emerald (rich vs poor, privileged vs oppressed)
Blake vs Adam/Roman (justice vs corruption, peace vs radical)
Yang vs Mercury (hot tempered vs aloof, kick boxer vs boxer)
Ruby vs Cinder (good vs evil, naive vs mature)
It was confirm that Monty help written Vol 3 so everything beyond that is Miles work. Which means silver eyes and Salem are part of Monty work. Now I don't know how much he was involved but let's just say vol 3 is what he have in mind. If we were following what we know though what we know from 1-3 my guess Monty wanted at least 8 or 9 volumes (without the wonderland trip). Which makes sense because how are you going to repeating tease Cinder group as the final boss (with Salem) and don't even bring them up again.
Long Post Ahead
It's what happens when the writers do not go through the OBVIOUS set ups for their characters and instead pull the weirdest shit to make their narrative more "interesting".
The writing of RWBY is eerily similar to the writing of the new Star Wars Trilogy; the author pussied out of committing to the plot line they planned out when the audience figures out the flow, so they pull out asinine events to "surprise" us and "subvert" our expectations for better or for worse.
To all writers, beginner or veteran, it's okay if the audience figures out the themes and plot twists. YOU PUT THOSE THINGS THERE FOR THEM.
RWBY is a show that writes itself. I've said this over and over again, it could have been so good had the writers actually tackled what they were building up to instead of copying the things they saw from other shows because they looked cool and refuse to understand the reason why those things worked in their original media.
This is not something new; even when Monty was working on the show, the first episode was a direct reference to Cowboy Bebop, and while it was cool, the sequence does not make sense for Ruby as a character. If anything, the Bunta Kinami version worked much better for her as a character who wants to be the hero instead of just BEING at the crisis point out of pure coincidence.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but the continuous refusal to actually commit to their themes and truly understand the point of their work + characters was what killed RWBY's narrative. It has no direction because it refuses to pick what it wants to be.

Asking you about agoraphobic Nureyev agenda
WELCOME TO THE INNER WORKINGS OF MY BRAIN. I’ve already made a post detailing the reason behind why I headcanon him as agoraphobic (which is here) so im taking this as an opportunity to give some more specific headcanons pertaining to his agoraphobia
aside from having maps/layouts of it memorized, having a job to do when going to a new place is really important to him!! he’s a little thief man ofc so said job can be anything from pickpocketing to a big heist- but having that job to keep him occupied is a big help and can keep him from spiraling and panicking
he sometimes uses a mobility aid (usually a cane) as both a grounding tool and a crutch in case he gets lightheaded/disoriented- but when he doesn’t have access to an aid, he’ll hold onto Juno (who is always more than happy to help his boyfriend)
this is just me projecting honestly but big flat expanses of land like a desert or a big beach?? he CANNOT do those. whatsoever. even looking at a picture of a place like that gives him anxiety. not to say he isn’t a beach lover though- he totally is, as long as it isn’t too big
everyone on the carte blanche knows about his agoraphobia and they’re all so sweet and accommodating,, Jet always makes sure to keep the Ruby close by (in one form or another) when they’re traveling by foot in case Peter needs somewhere to sit. Vespa may not be the best at calming people down but hey she’s a doctor! She knows her shit! And sometimes her explaining the mechanisms behind a panic attack to Peter and telling him exactly why he feels the way he does can help him. Buddy’s got the most calming energy you’ve ever seen on a mf and is always more than willing to be there for him to hold onto when Juno’s not available. And Rita tries her best to distract him (which she is luckily very good at) when they’re together in a place she knows is triggering for him
being asked about my agoraphobic Nureyev agenda is ALWAYS the highlight of my day thank you dearly for allowing me the privilege of presenting you with my brain soup
#the penumbra podcast#tpp#peter nureyev#agoraphobia#if i had more motivation to write fics you better believe I’d be writing them about this shit

y'know...I feel like I must've like, blocked out half of Ilia's character short and 90% of everything from volume 4 on, because I remembered Ilia's whole "punched out the teeth of the people who laughed at the literal death of her parents and made fun of the fact that her people were enslaved and other heinous shit" thing, but I was always like. yeah! good! she did right! her feelings were valid and I fully support her actions. go get 'em Ilia. everything you have ever done was morally correct. and somehow DID NOT REMEMBER that the canon narrative...disagrees with me on this?? I only realized it does disagree with me because I was scrolling through your blog and now I'm just sitting here like. shocked pikachu face
admittedly I also remember next to nothing from volumes 4 on in general, so a lot of the things on your blog have me going "what the FUCK?" not because I think you are wrong but because I think CRWBY is wrong and I also didn't remember the show did that, but it's led to me realizing why I probably stopped watching RWBY.
the show's persistent need to cling to nonviolence as the only valid way to deal with specifically racial conflict will make me put cement in rooster teeth's pipes i swear to god.
because it's only racial conflict: every other time there has been a conflict in the show, solving it with violence has been perfectly fine. from the goddamn first scene we have a human ruby throwing grown men through the window as a response to their threats. yang resorting to harassment with violence by bouncing shay d mann through the ceiling & out the door is funny. nora threatening to break cardin's legs specifically for bullying jaune is seen as noble.
but the moment it takes a racial element in characters like ilia, adam, sienna: then it becomes a problem. then these marginalized characters need to choose the path of nonviolence because if they stand up for themselves, they're "just as bad" as their oppressors.
but then it becomes an extra kick in the teeth when that violence once again becomes acceptable so long as a human is perpetuating. weiss throwing the drunk racist into a dumpster because blake is cowering like a child? how noble of her, what a good friend! yang finally giving a shit about the faunus only to threaten a racist old woman verbally? awh, she cares now that she has a faunus girlfriend, let's all totally forget her past canonical racism.
the narrative is baked in this racist white comfort coating where the marginalized characters are villainized for no longer wishing to be marginalized & fighting back against deadly violence with the same. pushed to the limit, after having canonically trying nonviolence & having it not work repeatedly: characters like ilia, adam & sienna all become villains in regards to the white skinned, privileged belladonnas because of their violence. it's sickening & shows just entirely how white the writing team behind this show is.
justice for ilia fr!

Since you're a fashion designer 🎀 what are your pokemon's favorite accessories?
(@twilight-rose-pokemon)
heh, well, ok then
Kiwi prefers simple things, like tiny bows and hats, but his favorite of all time is his bell collar. This one was bought one day cause he walks very silently, which can be very dangerous since I work with needles and stuff. He loves wiggling the bell all around, which can be kinda annoying, but it's very cute as well.
Sweater loves fancy clothing. She's always wanting to try something new, but one of this days I decided to surprise her with a gift. In my childhood, I had a indigo sweater made of cashmere that was the whole reason why I got her in the first place, but sadly, the original sweater doesn't fit her anymore, so I decide to spend a lot of money on materials to make one for her in her exact size. She loved it so much she refused to take it off for an entire week.
Cotton doesn't mind accessories much. He wears them mostly because he likes making me happy, but he does have a favorite one. It's a simple hat he made himself using his silk combined with, well, cotton. It has a tiny flower on top that he switches from time to time. He made it to show me how capable he was of helping me, cause I used to keep my pokemon far from my work for safety reasons, but he insisted so much I just couldn't keep refusing him this privilege.
Madam likes fancy things even more than Sweater, with her favorite accessory being a ruby necklace I bought for her when we went shopping. I wasn't gonna buy it, but she insisted so much I just couldn't refuse (aka, she scratched me until I got it). Of couse, I had to make some changes so the necklace would fit her, but it makes me happy to see how much she loves flashing those gems all around her for the world to see.
King and Cupid are still new to the team, so I gotta get some accessories for them, but for now, King seems to like the rain boots I gave him so he could play in the rain and Cupid likes the tiny white bow I made for her yesterday.

Behold, because I had a certified Ruby Brain Blast™ and let the vervose demon take over. Click at your own risk.
Love is this visceral thing that's inside all of us and it manifests in as many ways as there are human beings. Our most brilliant minds can't even define what's inside our noggings. Does anyone here think that they can define love? 'Cuz the best I got is "The relationship that one has with what makes them happy." and I know that's not right, because I know that we also love the things that hurt us. There is much, much more to it and we are not gonna answer this riddle. Regardless of how certain anybody sounds about it and how hard they try to push it on others.
Whatever Jayce and Viktor have is 100% pure unadultered love. But the only way I know this is because of how much it has moved us all. How deeply it has shaken our cores. And yet we can't agree and NOT squabble about what it is that it means and we're letting this obsession with the specifics to create a hundred different divides. And at this point I think that we have to ask us if this is worth it. Maybe the time of thinking this is over. Now we've got to allow ourselves and others just FEEL this. Our feelings dont have to be their feelings, but I sure would like to share a blanket and some cookies with more people. Don't we all appreciate the comfort of emotional support?
Now, get ready folks because I'm about to pull out one of my corniest moves: parroting a quote and try to capture a fraction of it's original rawness.
"I thought I could bring an end to the world's suffering. But when every equation was solved all that remained were fields of dreamless solitude. There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit."
What I mean with this is that, like good 'ole Viktor, we're letting the pain inflicted on us by the evils of the world take over the wheel. Thankfully none of us has access to experimental eldritch technology, so let us enjoy the diversity of the human experience. Why not coexist when we do have the privilege to choose?
asking sincerely. do you see a romance between jayce and viktor? do you think they ended up being something romantic at the end?
With apologies I am going to only half talk about the thing you are asking me, since I have something else on my mind and you happened to hit the button that makes me vomit it into words.
Coming at this from an aromantic perspective, I obviously don't experience the state of absurd obsessive delusion that you bizarre romantic freaks fetishize so feverishly*, but I am often annoyed by the idea that friendship and romance are either opposites or mutually exclusive. From my perspective, the boundary between the two is at best thin, and more realistically not actually a boundary at all except by cultural construction.
*i am taking an excessively hostile, crass tone for my own amusement i do not mean this seriously please be normal at me, weird allo freaks
I won't get into my full feelings about the end of Arcane, but it seems perfectly plain to me that the script, the imagery and the animation presents Jayce and Viktor as two halves of a whole, not opposing forces but alike to yin and yang: opposites which each contain the other. And at the climax of the show, the greatest peril to life and peace in the narrative is resolved by these two men literally joining their bodies and souls together, and going into eternity holding one another for comfort and strength. They are quite literally soulmates, quite literally the most important people in one another's lives.
I don't think that that kind of intimate emotional connection between men must necessarily be either romantic or sexual - I am aromantic, and plenty of ace people exist, and there is nothing in our natures excluding us from intense connections of love with other people of any gender.
I also think it is willfully ignorant (and genuinely homophobic) to act as though these deep connections are mutually exclusive with sex and romance. As though if Viktor and Jayce fucked nasty and made out sloppy style, suddenly their intimacy is less pure or valid, or tainted somehow.
"If these two men who are emotionally close to one another also fuck or get romantically involved, then friendship is dead, murdered on the floor by a dick-shaped knife; vile sexuality corrupts and debases the true, pure and virtuous love of ✨friendship✨" <- This shit is homophobic at a baseline, queerphobic in general, and frankly as an aromantic man I find it pretty fucking insulting as well.
What, are my friendships with other men just inherently more pure and divine, more meaningful and true than a gay man's can ever be, because I will never suffer the vile temptation of adding romance to my affection? Is that how I should think of myself? And is an aroace man more pure than me still, the only source of TRUE male friendship that a man can ever experience, free from the pustulant corruption of sexuality and romantic desire?
You get this pathetic defensiveness (especially from men, but other genders aren't immune) wherein sex and sexuality and romance between men is perceived as a threat to men's right and ability to experience deep connection to each other. But the emotional castration of men comes not from people imagining sex and romance as a component of our relationships - it comes from people who insist that our emotional lives must be ruled by strict binaries. Sex and romance, OR ELSE friendship. Deep romantic connection OR ELSE deep platonic connection. Pick one and do not dare to imagine both, nor act as though the boundary between them is something that we built by cultural fiat, and which can be dismantled just the same.
And yes, yes, yes, I know there are cultural forces literally illuminati-style conspiring to systemically erase the entire existence of explicitly romantic, sexual male love from media, and I know that homophobic puritanism is on the rise and there are material concerns and a real necessity for explicit representation in fiction, yes I know. Everything is more complicated than a tumblr post can cover, I am not trying to Solve Rainbow Capitalism™ over here, I am trying to express frustration as an aromantic man that this stupid fucking binary keeps getting culturally reinforced by both my enemies and my well-meaning allies, when I think the binary is what's fucking killing us in the first place.
So anyway. My position is that Viktor and Jayce can be entirely aromantic no-homo friends, and they can fuck nasty in the throes of mutual need and obsession, and I refuse to entertain the idea that there is an irresolvable contradiction between those things. Each of those can contain the other, or become the other given time and circumstance.
What the imagery, storytelling and script of Arcane makes clear is that Viktor and Jayce love each other more than life itself. To say that that love must be shoved into the box of either "platonic" or "romantic" is to miss out on almost everything that is beautiful about love. It can be both and neither! It can be a secret third, ninth or fifteenth thing that they haven't invented a tag for on Ao3 yet.
They are giving each other whatever the spiritual mind-ghost equivalent of sloppy backshots are on the ethereal plain forever, they are the most romantic lovers in the cosmos, and they are also the most chaste and platonic life-partner friends you have ever seen, effortlessly intimate and unashamedly tender. They are men who love one another, in every way that love matters.
You can pick whichever interpretation brings you joy, and resonates with what your heart needs, the text of the show is eminently and explicity open to it, and anyone who says otherwise either failed to pay attention, or refused to pay attention on purpose.

She asked me how my food was at church so I thought I don't know uncle sam wants me it's a modern facility at church and so i only care about modern infectious disease control.....I said its church food just dont have evaluations and a lot of people who dont test like rubi bridges to go to white church finally stop haunting around annoying people and killing women of poor creepy addicts
Its food better be good there have always been ways of getting creepy free loaders away from christian women
Its designed so only it's superior officers as men care about its fight get the fuck out of battered christian women's faces
People don't understand opportunities like not having to privilege the sensorial to abstract capabilities
Monique is a Jew she don't eat bread and still stalks white church to help her and gets her victim ego boost...if she is a Jew chabad does have food they give charitably also
Their annoying mean passive aggressive people that dont practice white church or reform like ida b wells i the queen bee like some of these dark characters at presbyterian church and white churches treat monique like she is a mixed bitch that is into consumer conformism and wont go get a job at the mall because it's what she practices and leave church people alone....she isnt dark and african
Monique acts mean jewess and negro men could help her and take her with them and they don't because they would have to just be some hegemony to all her true needs
What I have learned from bipolar people like these all need to be confronted about their mentality....your a bitch....thats your life you are a bitch
Anyway the only dialogue............at the time is how is your food i dont know its church food i dont evaluate it.......and she said no they have to have service points.....i thought that horrible klan hick beater always wants lots of meat and this is all the korean pastors had to put him on for him to get an unappreciative record and go to the virtual cages.....and that's why I find the experience resume learning
Thats some people about latin american rights people who aren't very white or very black have no existence without new things from German counter terrorists.....the apostolics will do some business and that's sects like these those attitudes are for new churches and they want people needy to go to new emigration

Can we get a Meet The Family but with Jaune meeting Yang's family?
Meet the Yangly
Okay, that’s just stupid…
Meet the Family: Yang
Yang: Okay… okay, you ready, Jaune?!
Jaune: I’m fine, but are you, you look ready to explode?
Yang: No, not really…
Jaune: What’s wrong, you said you Mom’s would love to meet me?
Yang: They will! Well, I know, Summer will, that’s Ruby’s biological Mom, she will love you, no question about it. My mom, her name is, Raven, might judge you as unworthy of me.
Jaune: Eh?
Yang: Mom, Raven comes from a back ground of might makes right and all that crap. She’s mostly abandoned it, but still, she might judge you for it.
Jaune: Ahh, that makes sense. Don’t worry, Yang we can handle this.
Yang: Together?
Jaune: Always together.
Yang: I love you, you dork. Okay… lets go meet the parents! Mom’s I’m home, and I brought someone I want you to meet!
Summer: Yang…? Yang! Rave, come quick, Yang’s home! And she brought a boy with her?!
Raven: A what?!
Yang: Mom’s this is m-my boyfriend! Jaune Arc!
Summer: Boyfriend?! It finally happened, Raven! Our, Little Dragon’s, all grown up!
Jaune: Hello, Ms. Rose, its a privilege to meet you.
Summer: Please, call me Summer; calling me by my first name makes me feel so old.
Jaune: You certainly don’t look it, I can see where Ruby, gets her youthful charm from. I’m sure she will become a fine lady if she is like anything like you.
Summer: Oh, such a charmer~! Is that how you caught my daughters attention; by being a silver tongued devil?
Yang: It was nothing like that…But, it helped.
Jaune: I thought it was because I laughed at your puns?
Yang: That was a big plus, but not the soul reason…
Raven: He laughed at your jokes? Sounds like a keeper, Little Dragon. Its not everyday you find someone who finds your jokes funny.
Jaune: Oh, you must be, Ravennnn…?
Raven: Indeed I am boy. Something wrong?
Yang: Jaune…? Are you okay?
Jaune: Yang, this is your, Mom?
Yang: My, birth mother, yeah, why?
Jaune: I just imagine her with blonde hair; Yang, your going to become a smoking hot milf…
Yang: WHAT?!
Summer: Oh my…
Raven: Oh, this should be good.
Jaune: Ahh! S-Sorry?! Its just you two look so alike, I couldn’t help but imagine you l-looking like her!
Yang: You think I’d be hot as a milf?!
Jaune: I don’t see why you’re upset? I mean you’re already hot as hell now! Just imagining you as a hotter version than you already are sounds amazing!
Yang: B-But my mother?!
Jaune: Oh… whoops… I-I’m sorry, Raven, if I made feel uncomfortable… I didn’t mean to…
Raven: Think nothing of it kid, its nice to know I still got it.
Jaune: I doubt you, either of you ever lost it.
Summer: Oh~!
Yang: O-Okay, that’s enough, Lover Boy, stop indirectly seducing my moms like you did me.
Jaune: I did?
Yang: Yes, you did, again, twice?! We’ll be up in my room Mom’s, see you around supper!
Summer: See you soon dear! So, what do you think of the little charmer?
Raven: He reminds me of Tai, when we were their age.
Summer: Yeah, he really does. Subtly making us fall for him just by being an endearing little dork. Oh that takes me back. Haaa… I miss him…
Raven: I miss him too. Does he remind you of Tai, because of his behaviour or because of his looks?
Summer: More so his behaviour than his looks. He’s more handsome, than rugged like, Tai was. He’s quite the fetching catch. He’ll make Yang happy, I know it.
Raven: You know… he could make us both happy too? Very happy indeed~!
Summer: Raven?! You’re not suggesting what you think, you’re suggesting?!
Raven: Why not?! It’s been an age since someone got my motor going like he just did. And, I know you’re lying if you say you didn’t feel a little something there.
Summer: But… but, he’s Yang’s boyfriend!
Raven: And her new found, Daddy~!
Summer: Eh?!
Raven: Think about it; she may not have chosen him because of it, but he most definitely reminds him of her old daddy. And you said so yourself, he reminds you of our old, Daddy~!
Summer: Umm… oh… Oh~! But, what about, Yang?
Raven: She’s already happy and with her new, Daddy, and she does want her mommies, to get along with him too. So, tell me, Summer, wanna go play house?
Summer: Latter, Daddy’s busy with his beloved daughter. Mommy can wait…
Raven: And you always thought I was the kinky one.
Summer: Oh, you are; I just love to play along~!
Raven: With our new, Daddy~!
Summer: Oh, this is going to be so much fun!
///
Is the Meet the Family, series going to be Jaune unintentional seducing their family: Probably.
Do I regret it: Absolutely not.
