You're more amazing than backflips
Made my 2nd Miitopia party! Jamie is now a Scientist and is joined by Natrin the Warrior, Fimishec the Imp, and Beacon the Chef
#asks#natrin is an old character inspired by the dnd rulebook saying that 3 year old dragonborn are as mature as 10 year old humans#then their relative maturity rate slows way down and it takes them until age 15 to be considered adults#and i was like “huh that's weird why'd they do that?” and then i realized that if they kept up that aging rate#then you'd have adult dragonborn that are 6 years old and that sounds Weird so they probably wanted to avoid the squickiness of that#what with bards and all#but anyway that got me thinking about dragonborn ages and so i decided to make a 3 year old dragonborn because it's funny#fimishec is the demon from that Mischief in Magic School story that i never did anything with#and beacon is of course beacon#she follows in compass's footsteps by being the healer of the group#which is kinda backward from how it should be but Team Rose needed to be the first party#i also have the final party members planned!#anyway miitopia is a really nice casual game#you don't even control your other 3 party members and the difficulty is fairly low#combine that with the fact that i Must Clear Every Alternate Path and i end up stupidly overpowered lol#it's nice to have such a low-pressure game

i've said it before but i think while we're in the wilderness until RWBY properly comes back i think it would be a good idea to have it as a side event, and as something i think Viz would be much more capable of managing and organising than RT would've been
which would be a Star Wars Visions/Halo Legends kind of animation serial - a bunch of different studios each getting to do their own take on the RWBY mythos, whether it just be set in the world of Remnant or a short story with the girls, sliding scale of action, seriousness and comedy
i think it'd be fun and cool to see the world of Remnant through the lens of like, Trigger or Orange or Mir's approaches to animation
#RWBY#could do an adaptation of the Shirow Miwa manga as an episode#prequel adventure with STRQ at Beacon#there's a lot of variety of stories that could be told and the ways they could be shown#just give Remnant some zest while we wait for the main course kinda thing

isaac & scott / mason & theo | sometimes all i think about is you
#twedit#twvid#scisaac#mason x theo#twrarepair#back on my scisaac masontheo parallel bullshit btw#back on my masontheo is just scisaac if they were True enemies to lovers bullshit. btw. if anyone was wondering.#like of course scisaac and masontheo get paintaking scenes. its enemies to lovers. ofc mason calls theo a bitch its FULL enemies to lovers#for clarity the hands at the rave and the masontheo hug r parallels to ME bc its touch with an excuse for it#scisaac can brush hands when theyre holding a needle between them and theo can hug mason when its a means to an end#the rest i feel r fairly straightforward but i wanted to share the vision for that one#mason hewitt#theo raeken#scott mccall#isaac lahey#tw#oh also the last shot is the last shot of isaac and theo respectively. if that wasnt clear.#like how isaac and theo both nebulously sort of Gone from beacon hills#and the theo shot also to me looks like footage from The masontheo ep 618. btw. which just brings me joy#actually i have more to say. hi. masontheo r just so.#you know how isaac kind of has. he has the awkward tenderness of someone who has never been loved and is forced to improvise#theo doesnt even have THAT!!!! scott holds out a hand and isaac takes it with an awkward fervor#mason keeps his hands to himself because he doesn't trust what theo might do with it and theo can only help when its helping himself#bc the tenderness will be TOO AWKWARD. so isaac says he wont leave without scott and theo says we need to find him so i cant leave you#so isaac grabs scott because scott makes him feel safe and theo can only grab mason when its part of a script bc thats how he feels safe#HELLO. IS THIS THING ON. DO U GUYS HEAR ME. SCISAAC IF THEY WERE TRUE ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!!!

Uprooted
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐; my favourite kind of fantasy - classic fairytale with a side of 'dont worry about the details' and 'you gotta believe in the heart of the cards!'
Oh?? 👌😉😏
a really sharp, quick-witted, and willful female protagonist going 'fuck it!' every few chapters or so and doing something crazy (crazy fun) to drive the plot forward, off a new exciting cliff
a soft magic system that really shows off in the best light what makes soft magic systems so valid. its all about the metaphors!! you have to measure the chocolate chips with your heart!!!
nature is so magical and beautiful and deadly. specifically if you treat trees bad they will form a sentient vengeful forest to raze your civilization to the ground and salt the earth with your bodies
kasia. i love an atomic blonde unkillable bad bitch with the strongest queerplatonic vibes with her best friend from birth
a CLASSIC grumpy 'beastly' male love interest. he seals himself away in a lonely tower, makes girls hang out with him for 10 years at a time, and unironically calls himself 'the Dragon'. he even has the audacity to be offended that everyone thinks he's creepy!!!!!!
No.. ❌🤢🤮
if you like having explanations for how magic works and any semblance of a hard magic system in your fantasy, put this book back. 'round here we operate on Vibes Only, babey!!
similarly, if your love language is words of affirmation and/or you think that fanfic-style romance plotlines should stay in fanfic, this romance is Not For You. this is not a judgment, only a warning
Summary: Agnieszka loves her home in her little village in the valley - you know, except for the evil forest simply known as the Wood that's been around as long as there have been people in the valley, with terrible creatures and sentient walking trees. And the century-old wizard known only as 'the Dragon' living in the tower overlooking their land, who takes a young woman every ten years to serve him. But what Agnieszka dreads the most is that her best friend, Kasia, will be chosen next, and that Agnieszka is helpless to save her. Until the day of the choosing, when the Dragon picks Agnieszka instead.
Concept: 💭💭💭💭 I've never gotten along that well with a book blurb, but this one does its damn job - gives me enough plot premise to get me interested without giving it all away, and doesn't make me feel like I've been lied to once I start the book! some stories really don't do what they say on the tin, or take ages to get there at all, but Uprooted starts off exactly at the spot the blurb said it would - with a girl, in a valley, scared of a terrible wizard, about to be whisked away to a tower.
Execution: 💥💥💥💥💥 This story is EXACTLY what it says it wants to be, down to the cadence of the prose - a Polish folklore-inspired fairytale. The rhythm of Novik's narration even fits right - one day I'll get the audiobook for this and get to hear it the way I read it in my head, like a grandmother's bedtime story with twists and eddies and crescendos at the all the right bits. I was in love with the aesthetic of every character, they fit perfectly into the backdrop of what this story was.
Personal Enjoyment: ❤❤❤❤❤ This book aligns to my tastes much the same way An Enchantment of Ravens does, and shares of lot of the same elements without ever feeling derivative - smart girl meets magic boy, causes all kinds of irreversible political upheaval, and lives happily ever after being just as they are - a Girl with The Audacity. its a tale as old as time, and i'll hear it told just as often
Favourite Moment: you know its a good book when you really can't choose a favourite moment - one that comes to mind is agniezska choosing to save sarkan from being grafted onto the heart-tree in the Wood instead of setting fire to it. the 'fuck it!' energy agniezska brings to her moments of crisis is SO good, plus the motif of her always reaching out to sarkan to cast magic together - 'hey real quick, cast a spell with me while you're being pulled into an evil magic tree trying to twist your magic and life force against us. couldn't hurt, eh?' and then it WORKS
Favourite Character: now yall know i love a sarkan-esque character - pathetic wet cat men who are so offended by their own squishy feelings are a great time! and kasia is SO bad bitch extraordinaire, her and agnieszka's love for each other literally makes the plot go - every time, every time without hesitation she puts herself as the last thing standing between agnieszka and the Wood. but agniezska herself is really Something. the way she uses magic, her connection with nature and her refusal to be anything else than what she is - a grubby young woman who wields kindness as her weapon against the world, who holds onto her humanity with both hands and teeth - she shapes this fairytale to be the story she wants it to be, one of connection and empathy. and im still thinking about her introducing the lord of the whole valley to her mother 🤣 power move!!
#uprooted#naomi novik#books#book review#booklover#bookblr#reading#sarkan's refusal to bind himself to the valley is SO. one day agnieszka will stop for breath mid-bickering and really come to grips with#unpacking why he was so unokay with tying himself to the land. an orphan with incredible magical ability growing up surrounded by#power-hungry nobles? yeah that guy has trust and commitment issues. need agnieszka to fuck that out of him#i mean OF COURSE teach him that the valley is a home and not a cage (that no one will ever force him to stay not even her#that he can come and go as he pleases and still be theirs) and its ok to be tied to the people that love you and vice versa etc etc etc.#but also like. he deserves to be dommed into feeling safe enough to put down roots. as a treat.#anyway kasia x agnieszka x sarkan throuple with agnieszka as the homing beacon and kasia + sarkan as the migrating birds always circling#always knowing the way back home

Fragile multidimensional characters >>> badass bland characters. Yes even if they're fragile in ways other than "is sad a lot." Yes even if they get unpalatable because of their insecurities or mess up a mission because of their emotional distress/lack of prowess. Especially then even. Softness is more than sweetness
#42texts#sorry I've been heated about this topic lately#actually I'm not sorry. I'm literally right#i feel like a lot of people only like the soft parts of a character that make them look noble#not the ones that make them look weak or in the wrong#mainstream media loves to demonize less than ideal soft traits as cowardice and spinelessness#a man will be hated more for running away than killing violently and with vigor#and i feel like that's seeped into our subconscious#of COURSE they can be soft and sensitive. as long as they're not a burden about it#as long as their feelings are an idealized beacon of purity and not a complex inner life that demands to be seen and understood

just finished watching pluto (and just finished crying my fucking eyes out at every scene featuring epsilon and his kids) and while i understand that the focus is the philosophical and emotional narratives being explored and the weight that is given to each character, human or not, and how they grapple with their pain, it would have been kinda funny if the show had ended like this
#pluto#pluto spoilers#atom#uran#epsilon#everything is fine epsilon is fine he is taking care of his 15 children and with his new bodyguard/boyfriend nothing bad ever happened#also uran is an integral point in the plot of course she is and not just the emotional distress beacon right :^ )#ik there are narrative constraints but i think having the three most pacifistic / empathetic characters work together to resolve#what seems to appear to a lot of new viewers as an action-driven story is a great way to give meaning to the themes#meaning that it would have been nice if uran had more to do than just worry about atom and the negative feelings of others#idk anyways they are so precious to me i love them and they are fine everything is fine

Caleb Widogast is the best person in all of Exandria for Ashton to talk to about the Dunamis beacon crystal in their head. Sure, Caleb’s had some years of studying dunamancy and beacons at this point but he also knows a great deal of what it means to be a broken person and to be able to put yourself back together with the support of people who care about you
#as a person who hasn’t gotten past like episode 4 or 5 of campaign three I haven’t a fucking clue of what’s mostly going on#but I have a pretty rough outline#also empire siblings? in my bells hells? how come they get all the cool people?#of course there’s also the fact that Caleb would just call Essek immediately that he found another beacon#and it’s been implanted in some person’s head and Essek just pops up to meet ashton as well#critical role#cr3 spoilers#caleb widogast#ashton greymoore

we as a society are failing by not talking about Roman torchwicks will-o'-the-wisp allusion
#i am but a tiny Irish child vibrating with folklore knowledge#all of the “Roman and neo go off to a cabin in the woods after beacon” make me scream because of course I love them#but also the sETTING#is pERFECT#please its so cool there's so much potential#he's so naturally corner-of-your-eye-what-was-that#Roman torchwick#I am so full of thoughts you have no idea#look he's got haunted-but-is-the-ghost vibes

sorry to put this on my art blog & not keep it on my main where I usually do these but can u pls tell me what about my art makes it distinctive as mine? if anything?
(and maybe what you like the most about it? if anything? feels weird asking ngl)
like an ask/reply game of sorts
im just curious....
and thank you so much in advance <3
#clearly ive been curious about a few things recently#my mood is still absolutely all over the place & a portion of it is a pit of art insecurity ive fallen into yet again#and i doubt these kinds of things really do much to make me feel much Better but it does help me understand my art i think#bc like MANY artists out there i of course only see my flaws like shining beacons#anyway might delete if this feels too stupid to still have up in like an hour#jenna shut up

Succession | S02E06
#Roman Roy#Gerri Kellman#Do you see the beautiful golden halo across the room from his right hand? That's her. His beacon.#The utter trust when he glances at her at the end of the first gif to see whether he should agree. And all she has to do#is give the minutest shake of her head and he's ready to go to war.#Roman who is unbelievably easily cowed by Logan finds the courage to argue ARGUE against Logan because she shook her head.#I mean right after she shakes her head he schools his expression to look like this was ABSOLUTELY his firm opinion DUH of COURSE.#The faith and trust is insane even though it's absolutely warranted. She IS Gerri Kellman after all. Still. Whoa.#The beautiful vulnerability in his fleeting glance at her in the third gif. Checking what she thinks of his performance.#Glancing at her to summon the courage to KEEP defending his opinion against Logan's. AGAINST Logan's!#It's a miracle that glaringly blindingly beautifully visible invisible thread didn't snap and slam them into each other's arms.#The smartest kid. The absolute smartest out of them all. The one with the most potential. It explains the bullshit comment in the finale.#Sigh. I love them so much. All of them. Every single person even the couple of characters I can't stand!#But Roman and Gerri... Sigh. No words. No words!#Succession#my gifs

love how the luxon and beacons can be seen as a metaphor for collaborative storytelling and d&d/the cr table. a lonely light of creation bringing a world to life. the observer who tethers souls in their quest for companionship and understanding and stories. how beacons keep these souls safe and return them to exandria. who am i? let's see what we can learn, what memories we can bring home together. who can we become by being someone else. who can we influence each other to be. one more trip around the world. let's do it again.
#basil.ramblings#critical role#and then matt in c3 looked at ashton and said woe beacon be upon ye DFJKHG#again the whole. mortals are divine by the circumstances of their creation sure but also by virtue of creating#i started thinking too much about 'why do we tell stories?' and sprigg's 'the gods envy us bc they only observe' and how the luxon is like#almost a step above that in regards to. understanding or at least hoping to understand by being a part of the cycle#and what the fuck is up with the OBSERVER !! like who is that#also travis's 'i don't think there's an end. you just might not be able to see the next trip.'#basically it's 2am and i have normal feelings and exandria Is kind-of a beacon if you think about it skjdfhg#the metaphor of course gets dicey (hah) when you consider the mechanics of consecuted souls like how the cycle seems instant#regarding life & death and obviously previous characters aren't dead just npcs but idk i think it's fun to think about :]

one of the aspects that i love most about the confession scene is that blake & yang both already know the big truth they haven’t dropped on each other. blake knows yang is thinking ‘i love you’ and yang realizes that blake is thinking it too as the clouds go gold behind her, even though she immediately questions it with the dropping of her gaze and the uncertainty on her face - for them, it’s a matter of being brave enough to speak it into existence rather than revealing previously-unknown feelings to each other. my question is, when do you guys think blake and yang first became aware of how they, themselves, were feeling?
#though i love the thought of them having crushes on each other at beacon i think it's more of a curiosity than anything#like the precursor to a crush or even feelings#i wouldn't put my money on burning the candle either - i think yang was interested and blake still had a lot she was processing at the time#but that neither of them really thought concretely in that way about one another#at least not for the duration of v1-first three quarters of v3#once beacon started falling i think their worry for each other spiked - you see blake and yang's faces during their call to each other#as beacon is under attack and then obviously everything that happens w adam after that#but of course#i think yang first started to realize her feelings were more than just 'like' sometime immediately after blake left after the fall of beacon#she realizes her frustration/hurt/bitterness/grief is more than just 'someone i trust and care about left me behind' because underneath that#there is a very raw and real ache of missing blake more than anything and wishing she were there#and that's when it starts to become apparent to us too#AS FOR BLAKE#again love the thought of her choosing yang in the emerald forest and being interested from day 1#tho i do think she was drawn to yang in v1 and felt an affinity towards her i wouldn't say it developed into 'realized' love til later#she had love for yang which adam obviously took note of - especially the similarities between the two of them -#but do i think blake realized she loved yang until adam was threatening to take her away? nope#honestly i think she squashed it down after v3c11 when she ran away - compartmentalized and told herself that 'yang deserves better' etc and#didn't let herself think about it at all bc what was the point? she just focused on everything else going on and didn't acknowledge#then when they saw each other at the end of v5 - imo that was the turning point#that was it#their feelings rushed to the surface - broke through all the anger and suppression and grief#and they've been falling for each other even through all the issues they worked out from v6 onward#the end that's my theory and i want to hear all of yours too#RWBY#Bumbleby#RWBY 9#RWBY Volume 9#Blake x Yang#Blake Belladonna
