#THE WORMS ARE WRIGGLING

[wanologic]

the story so far…

[kaelidascope]

I think I should clarify that when I say OOC behavior in Toxic Bees AU, I mean like they're still their basic skeletal designs as a whole (I'm not THAT bad of a writer) but they're OOC compared to the versions of them we know today As in I banked hard on certain aspects of their personalities like Yang's self-sacrificing tendencies, Ruby's immaturity, Weiss's arrogance, and Blake's flakiness Pretty much all these attributes are just amplified to shit and there's like no character growth until the final chapters NFJGFNGKF

Yang literally only thinks she's worth what she can physically offer to someone in the form of service (sexually, financially, or emotionally). Her untreated depression and anxiety causes her to internalize her abandonment issues so bad she's creating scenarios in her life that are doomed to set her up for failure from the start, and yet she doesn't understand why people keep leaving her when she can't stop being this disingenuous version of herself

Blake pretends her actions aren't the direct cause of her consequences and therefor justifies her actions because of her consequences. She desperately doesn't want to give a shit about anything but that act's only gonna get her so far before it blows up in her face. She wants to think that she deserves to be mistreated and can't stand the idea of forgiveness or compromise, so she'll sabotage her own life to get a result that's familiar

Ruby's age shows painfully hard in this and reflects on her thought process and maturity. She's 20 and doesn't have a clue, and up until this point has had Yang or her Dad do literally everything for her. Her growth's been stunted just as much as she doesn't actively try to get off her ass and do something about it

Weiss may seem put together, but she's been miserably sheltered her whole life. Home-schooled first and then immediately living with a romantic partner she's far too young for second, who ends up infantizing her more and she doesn't have the tools or communication skills to speak up for herself. She's better about it now, but her bad habits manifest in her inability to get a grasp on reality and treats people like objects because not once did she have a normal human bond in her house

Now take those versions of team RWBY and throw them into a college setting with their very first taste of freedom, absolutely NO proper job or life experience, and nobody to actively vibe-check them on fucked up, ill-intended, and misguided decision-making. THAT'S what makes this an OOC RWBY fic. Because we all were stupid in our 20s living out of the house for the first time

i've done it. i've blocked out the entirety of the first act of my new wip. holy shit.

They just. Never explained Hooty’s deal, huh.

He’s the Owl and the House of the Owl House. He has a pair of Baba Yaga hut legs. He can detach himself and fit in a backpack. The series finale revealed that God has a Hooty in their eye. His first word was hoot. His second word was hoot hoot. I know nothing else about him.

something something red string of fate soulmate. when johnny dies you feel the string go weak, the bond cutting off. then a sharp tug, not of the bond coming back, of johnny being revived, but of someone else keeping their word, catching the string before it falls and whithers away, tying it onto their own blackened string and watching it bloom red again. you shall not be alone, he promised johnny he would look after you

idk if this is anything

part two | three

you thought your life was over when your psycho, end-of-days conspiracy theorist austrian neighbor kidnapped you. the guy barely spoke a word when he shoved you into his fancy, decked out underground bunker. he mumbled something about last minute supplies, locked the door, then left.

you knew the world was over with all the shaking, explosive noises, and how you watched your neighbor literally melt into the ground through the cameras you found. oh well, at least the place is well-stocked. food. booze. a weird CD collection. (there is such a thing as too much yanni.) you’ll eventually run out of supplies and die, maybe go crazy from isolation, but at least you won’t be a chunky puddle of ooze.

three months later, you’re a little weirder and a full on yanni-isseur, but life’s not so bad. you talk to yourself a lot. work out a little. puzzle. again, you could be ooze. fighting for food. running, ew.

then a buff guy with a grown out mohawk finds the hatch. uh oh. he tries to open it for a few hours. shoots it, even. no dice, thank god. you’ve watched creed about a dozen times and know home alone by heart, but you don’t think you could take the guy. he gives up and slinks off. almost steps in the remains of the neighbor.

a couple of days go by, and mohawk returns. but he’s not alone. three other men—big, brawny, and also armed—are with him. and the one that’s only slightly smaller than the austrian has a mean-looking pry bar. you hold your breath, glued to the cameras, and watch the four of them take turns on the hatch.

you think they’re close to giving up, until the one with the scraggly beard tries again.

thunk.

the sound of the hatch practically echoes throughout the bunker.

“think anyone’s down there?”

“only one way to find out.”

shout out to @391780 , for always killing that one guy in increasingly wild ways. you are an inspiration.

Happy 13th Anniversary, KrtDL★

and let’s talk about how the show OPENS with the bar becoming successful when dennis is being openly gay and how mac is rewarded with thousands in hero or hate crime for coming out and the only way for the bar to be both fiscally successful is returning to the gay bar

In the void I saw all I ever wanted. Beyond reality, beyond the binary. Bathing in the blood of who I used to be

For the doodle thing, Wind wrapped up in Warrior's oversized scarf? No pressure of course. Have a good day!

Shouldn’t have wrapped yourself so tight there, Wind

[dangerliesbeforeyou]

no but my favourite thing about the passenger (2023) is randy doing all this soul searching w/ people from his past, and then there's just this Dude (benson) lurking gayly in the background of every shot lol

HI AGAIN!! i was the other anon BWABHAHA pls call me 🍚 aka rice anon!!

SO LIKE i saw batty’s asks (ILY BATTY ‼️) and their ideas are so amazing AND SO ARE YOURS OMG !! the thought of the tf141 visting simon’s shop is so cute im going feral fr…

i was thinking that what if simon visited soap’s shop or smth and he saw reader there with their silly dog !! its like their having a date (me n my dog fr) !! and simon goes “damn i wish we were like that 😔”

my brain is not loading i swear i’ll pick up better ideas in the future BWHAHAH ALSO I READ UR PART 3!! I LOVE IT <33

Thank you so much rice anon! (Weeping at having named anons, you guys are the best)

Also yes, very yes. Simon visiting Soap's shop because despite how he doesn't want to admit it, Soap makes the best pastries in town. In would be easier to admit if Soap wasn't such a smug bastard about it.

So he walks up the steps to the shop and freezes, when he sees you through the glass door. You're at the counter, chatting with Soap, both of you laughing about something and Simon's stomach drops.

Why is it so easy for you to talk to Soap and he's such an idiot about it? Why can't he make you laugh like that?

Like a schoolboy he ducks around the corner of the shop, going in through the backdoor to avoid bumping into you. That way he also gets to listen to your and Soaps conversation

When you leave he finally appears and Soap (having noticed him immediately) is such smug mf about it.

Simon isn't even conscious of it, when he watches you leave with your dog and whistfully sighs: "Wish that was me."

Soap takes a double take but no, you're alone, only have your dog with you and he stares at Simon breaking out into laughter.

"The dog?! Yer fucking jealous of the dog?"
