#and that hes so thankful. but he wont trust you or your decision. he won't even attempt to

[foxx-queen]

i keep thinking about the datamined conversation between halsin and minthara and what gets me about it is that if you side with halsin and turn minthara away, thats objectively the bad choice.

like at this point, you've rescued minthara from moonrise. you know now that she was being controlled to act against her will. you've gone to the trouble of rescuing her from her tormentors, and you've experienced what it felt like as they tried to destroy her mind. you know what will happen to her if you turn her away. and if you do, you're willingly condemning her to that fate. you've essentially allowed her to experience freedom, to regain her sense of self, only to tear that away from her again.

whereas if you side with minthara, and halsin leaves, that's the only consequence he experiences. that he's not a companion anymore. at this point, we've saved the grove, we've saved him, and we've lifted the shadow curse. we've helped him achieve what hes been hoping to do for over a century. leaving your party won't see him lose his free will. he can return to the grove and live his life.

the choice is essentially either condemn someone to a fate worse than death, knowing exactly what that entails vs not letting someone travel with you anymore. its pretty clear cut to me.

its just interesting to me that they've switched the morality of it around given that minthara is considered the 'evil' companion by so many.

Perfect Match -6

Billy Russo, world's most elite assassin, leans back on my couch, looking a little pale, "I think I'd rather have you pregnant." I get up off the couch and his hand snakes out to grab my wrist, "Wait! Wait! Wait!" I get pulled onto his lap. "Angel, I mean this with zero disrespect, but...What the fuck?!"

I struggle to get up and he lets me go. "Do you want a drink? I think you could use one. I definitely need one." I walk over to the kitchen & grab some Chardonnay I have in the fridge.

"Yea, sure." He's still looking at me oddly. I gulp down my first glass of wine which earns me a cocked eyebrow from him. I prepare him a tumbler of scotch & bring it back to him. "Thanks." He takes a long pull on it. "Can we...uh...talk?"

I keep my wine glass cradled to me. "I want you to marry me."

I can see him trying to keep calm. I'm happy he didn't run screaming from my apartment. I did not plan on asking him as soon as he returned but the way he held me in his arm & said he missed me while he was away. I thought he'd be open to this and I've been thinking about this for a bit. I need to find a husband. I like Billy more than anyone I've met so far.

"Again, no disrespect, but why? What happened while I was away?"

"Nothing HAPPENED." I place my glass down on the coffee table & turn to sit facing him. "To get what I want, I need a husband. I've told you this. I need a partner. I need someone who would survive and thrive in this type of life. I need...someone I can trust." I get up to pace. He's been looking at me so intently and I've never felt so vulnerable. "I like you, Billy. A lot. Scarily a lot. But even more importantly, I trust you." He's still silent & doesn't seem like he's ready to run so I continue. "I can count the number of people I trust on one hand."

"I'm honored." My gaze shoots to him to see if he's being sarcastic or facetious, but I see none of that. Billy is being genuine & he gives me a soft smile.

It gives me the courage to continue, "You're already in this life, and you are a formidable force. You're smart. You're powerful. You're strong. I need that. This isn't an easy life by far. This is a partnership for life. There are no divorces in the Family. In the future, if things didn't work out with...with us. We'll still need to be able to work together. We need to portray a united front, despite our falling out. It will already be a challenge for us to get the other families to respect us. I will lead this family but I can't do it without someone like you. No, not someone like you. You." Flustered, "I'm sure my grandfather can find me a husband but it won't...it wont feel the same."

I've gone too far. I blew it. There's an ache in my heart just thinking about ending things with Billy. "I know this is...a surprise." He exhales & runs his hands over his buzz cut. Nervous laughter escapes me, "Quite the understatement." Billy smiles and nods. "I know this was not the welcome home you expected, but I wanted you to know. This is the direction I want...hope. I hope we can move towards. I'm not some nurse...coffee shop girl...lawyer. I have a different life. I thought I should make my intentions clear."

"I got that loud and clear."

"It's a lot to think about and it's not a decision to make lightly. I don't expect...I don't even know what to expect. Take time to think about it. I didn't expect to blurt this out to you tonight. You just showed up and I've missed you so much....I don't know. I'm sorry."

Billy stands hugs me. I feel like crying. It feels like good-bye. "Don't be sorry. I appreciate your honesty." He squeezes me tighter & sways a little, like he's trying to soothe me. "I'll think about it."

"You will?"

"I don't get proposed to everyday. Looking the way I do, I don't know if it'll ever happen again."

I pull away & I see the teasing light in his dark eyes. "Bill."

He cradles my face in his hands & kisses me. "I'll seriously consider it. Promise." I pull him down for another teasing kiss. "Can I stay the night?"

"Please. I need you, Billy." With that, he throws me over his shoulder & takes me to bed.

*****

Things are back to normal with me & Billy. I haven't brought up the proposal again. I'm going to give him all the time he needs. I still have to placate my grandfather & meet these men he think will be good matches. Grandfather's choice in men are better than father's 100%, but still... These men are older & think to "let me" rule New York. As if they are doing me a favor. Like they are indulging a child.

"Piccola!" Grandfather kisses me on both cheeks, "What are you doing here? If I knew you were coming, I could have had lunch prepared."

"Nonno, I'm fine. It's ok. I actually came to talk."

"Sit. Sit. What did you need to discuss?"

"I've asked Russo to marry me." I hold my breath waiting for the explosion.

"Russo?!" I nod. "What did he say?"

I can tell he's not thrilled, but he's not yelling either. "He's thinking about it."

"Did you not think to discuss this with me first?"

"Considering that he kidnapped me, I did not think it was a good idea until I ask Bill. He didn't run for the hills, and he's seriously considering it. That's why I'm here."

"You think he's a good match for you?"

"Do you think he'd be a good match?"

"He isn't going to be easily controlled."

"I don't want to control him. He'll be my partner in this. We'll communicate. We'll work together."

"Can he be trusted?"

"I trust him."

"My concern is that he will not operate in the best interest for the Family."

"He will."

"No. His decisions will be based on the best interest for YOU. Not the Family."

"I will be the Family." Frowning, "Is that such a bad thing?"

"Child, it's the best thing to hear as a Grandfather. To know that a man will put you above all others. I may be old, but I'm aware of the gossip. I know you've been seeing him." He gives me a loving smile that warms my heart. "However, as leader of this Family, it becomes a concern." We sit in silence, each caught up in our own thoughts. "He's not a bad choice. His skill set. His reputation. He's not from another Family, so his loyalty will be strong to you, to us." I nod. "Let me know what he says."

"Thank you. I will."

Top 10 kdrama recs? You seem to rb quite a few different ones, so im curious about your faves :]

- 🌱

hey! I recently got into kdramas (again) and I have SO many faves now, its hard to choose only 10! but let me try

suspicious partner. my first kdrama (I think) and one of my absolute faves. great chemistry, mystery and overall a nice pace.

100 days my prince. a historical drama, with lots of comedic moments. Nam Ji Hyun has to deal with an amnesiac male lead.

Shopping King Louie. wholesome drama with two characters who are THE purest beans. Nam Ji Hyun has to deal with an amnesiac male lead (again).

fight for my way. friends to lovers. the end. (also, both are poor which is a pleasant surprise).

hometown cha-cha-cha. one of the episodes will tear your heart into pieces but you wont mind cause this is such a feel good drama, you will fall in love with every single character. also, Kim Seon Ho is a theater actor and you'll def notice that. my man desrved an oscar, an emmy AND a grammy (no, he doesnt sing but he deserved it).

doom at your service. more mature drama, lots of heartache, amazing performances and a motherfucking kiss you'll never forget.

business proposal. you'll fall in love with both couples, like you don't even have a choice. funny af.

strong woman do bong soon and weightlifting fairy kim bok joo. yes, im cheating cause these are 2 seperate dramas but let's ignore that. male leads are head over heels for female leads. female leads are cute as a button.

destined with you. CHEMISTRY WAS CHEMISTRYING. plot holes here and there and you wont even care.

the king's affection. aka when bisexually was invented. just trust me and watch this. softest male lead EVER.

king the land. lots of people didnt like but idk, I loved it. zero toxicity, no dumb ass decisions by the leads, cute second leads. I laughed a lot and generally had lots of fun. first kiss? you won't forget this either.

honorable mentions cause these are on-going:

perfect marriage revenge. budget of a one dollar and a dream, and you'll love every second of it.

a good day to be a dog. idk, just thinking about this drama makes me feel like the world is not such a horrible place after all. female lead? my future wife

the matchmakers. a very different historical drama. [retty cinematography, interesting characters and Rowoon in a very different role than usual.

another honorable mention (the drama ended last year but I'm watching it now) is cafe minamdang. lots of different opinions on this drama too, but so far I've laughed my ass off and Seo In Guk looks *chefs kiss*

let me know (if you want) if you end up watching any of these and your opinion. thank you for the ask <3

"A rwby critic and a longtime dc fan" Hate to break it to you?

But RWBY manages to stay consistent. DC? Where do we even begin on their retcons.

Look, if you wanna whine and complain, that's fine. But at the end of the day, Monty , Miles, Kerry? At least their work is forever in progress.

All you people do is insult them on social media and then wonder why people won't listen to you after you complain. People enjoyed the crossover, and part 2 will be there soon.

And unlike you, the rest of us intend to enjoy things...which, as a critic, I understand that's rather difficult.

First things first thanks for being my first anon I honestly didn't know if I had it turned on or not. Also congratulations for being my first rwby related braindead anon, now I know I've made it. Now onto the response

Rwby has consistency? Yeah its consistently disappointing and dogshit. Trust me I know all about DC's retcons, bad stories, nonsensical decisions that the writers make that make the characters worse. Wanna know the difference between RWBY and DC? Rwby has had only a few interpretations, the main canon, the crossover, ice queendom, the books, the antholgy manga, a few comics (some being dc crossovers again), and rwby chibi. And half of those can even be considered pseudo canon. With DC? They have had DECADES of comics, movies, cartoons, TV shows, and all sorts of different adoptions. Because DC is bigger they can have alot of bad, but SOOOO MUCH more good.

Next up, dont bring Monty into this. I wont discredit his work and im not gonna say "this wasnt how he wanted rwby" or anything like this. Let the guy be. This is specifically going towards Miles and Kerry, I wanna have faith they're good people, twitter says otherwise for Miles. I know they can make some decent writing, early rwby, camp camp, they even wrote some of RVB. They haven't made anything good nowadays which is why im mad, I know they can write but keep fucking up!

And if your gonna say all I do is whine and complain maybe you should remember that your complaining about the opinion of some random guy on the internet. But hey you arent completely whining your giving a passive aggressive anonymous ask.

If people like the crossover, good. Im glad someone can find some good in a film and series I dont like. I may not have enjoyed the crossover but get good on you for finding it enjoying. I know why people dont listen to us "whiners" its cuz we hurt their feelings and were big mean cyber bullies. Im a dude on the internet, why the hell should you take it so seriously. What did you think I'd take you seriously as well? I know the real reason why rwby fans dont listen, its cuz RT doesn't listen. They dont see the genuine harm in their writing or dont want to acknowledge it and so their fans piggyback off their mentality. You fans dont listen because RT has their heads so far up their asses they think that RWBY will do fine because there's brain rotted fans like you who'll defend this hot garbage and do nothing but constantly try and shit on people who have an opinion. And quite frankly I think my opinion is right

Dont call yourself a critic, I dont know jackshit about you so for all I know your a fellow cave troll. Reply without the anon button and prove it next time. I know im not a professional writer or critic, I say that I am since im just been watching both franchises, im a dude on tumblr, dont take that part seriously. But I do know how to form an opinion on what I like and what I think is terribly written schlock thats being defended by fans who have a weird symbiotic relationship with a company that will treat their fans like shit.

So all in all, cope. I dont like the dogshit crossover, Miles and Kerry's writing sucks now, and you've officially made my morning. Thanks for stopping by anon. Next time RWBY makes something good for once i'll actually talk about how I like it, maybe with some criticism but hey, nothings perfect. I understand thats rather difficult to understand

Thoughts and observations of the Angelic Demon's event.

Things I've noticed about the super demon bros being under the bangle's spell:

- Lucifer is very shaken by what he perceives was his willingness to take advantage(?) of MC's trust in him. His actions in his bedroom did piss me off, I imagine that to players who don't like him, it could've been even less amusing lol.

And then not being able to bear being seen after the bangles take effect. (So not only is he Humble and apologises right away, he also feels Shame, both could be interpreted as opposites of Pride)

- I was asuming they were just gonna gloss over the fact that Satan was never an angel before. But he does mention it! Yay!

- Lucifer and Leviathan mention specifically not doing things MC doesn't want them to do/would not like.

- Leviathan, Satan, and Mammon mention being able to tell MC how they feel with honesty/freely.

- There's emphasis in Beel wanting not only to share food, but he himself not eating any as well. The self sacrifice feels kind of silly in a context where there is definitely enough for everybody? There is no shortage. But he's a celestial being so it probably wont do anything to him. Regardless, me monkey human brain keeps yelling at him to eat too. The rest didn't feel out of his usual demon self, he has mentioned cooking for others casually before. And taking their tastes into account.

- Belphegor and Asmodeus mention doing sneaky/underhanded things as demons to keep MC to themselves.

- Asmo mentions MC deciding for themselves who they want to be with. Implying they won't keep trying to sway their decision? I think? (sorry, poly people, that one could've felt awkward)

- Leviathan, Belphegor, Asmodeus and Mammon express regret or apologize for the way they were before the bangles took effect.

- Leviathan, Belphegor, and Mammon mention wanting to have a better relationship with their brothers, besides MC.

These things caught my attention.

My reaction to it:

- SIMEON YOU WOT M8

- MICHAEL YOU WOT M8

- Oh, I see how it is 💢💢💢💢💢💢

- Diavolo does say right away that the magic should be undone?? Idk what else could he do, it was Michael's magic, of course it would take a while to undo... is it cause he's just so bisscasual about it? It did bother me but he's the Prince Of Hell and I imagine he sees more fucked up things on the daily.

- Daniel was miliseconds away from pacting Lucifer's ass into doing the macarena before he caught himself.

- I can imagine, as someone whose will is fueled by sheer spite also, why Satan got that foreboding feeling when his heart was forced into being tranquil.

- Levi I'm glad you stopped using 4chan but no I won't subscribe to hearing your feelings everyday.

- Beel you are going hungry for nothing please fucking eat something already.

- Hi Belphegor, byee.

- *holding a microphone up to Asmo's face* Sir why is your card so fucking slow ?

- All I can think about is Mammon cries and gets even more insufferable for days after the spell is gone and all his valuables were sold.

- Daniel: feels like they're taking crazy pills, Solomon being unnerved by the whole thing also is reassuring to them though. Stays the fuck away from Simeon for the immediate future, not accepting anything from him either!! Congrats angel, you unlocked Daniel's deep rooted trust issues. Also thank you Luke for joining the ranks of the "fuck this actually" team last minute.

hbicheryl: hold up, hobo is excited about something??

hisshissmotherfucker: ^^ jones are you sick

jugheadalones: okay, first of all fuck you

jugheadalones: second of all im excited to return to the near-comatose state i maintain every time we have a long period of time off from school

nopeaz: that makes more sense

veroffica: as enjoyable as that likely is to you, holden caulfield, it won't be happening this break. i'm hosting a christmas eve party at the pembrooke starting at 8:00 pm and you are all invited.

hbicheryl: oh right we didnt tell you lol

hbicheryl: tt moved in with me

goingtoheller: WHAT??

goingtoheller: my sapphic moms moved in together aND I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA??

hisshissmotherfucker: why is keller suddenly chonis kid when did this happen??

hbicheryl: please kevin is basically toni and i's love child

hbicheryl: he has my sass (well not as good as mine but hes trying), my gayness, and my strange desire for dumbass serpents

nopeaz: no problem son

hbicheryl: yes we are very proud of you kev (mostly)

jugheadalones: huh i never actually thought about it but that... works?

veroffica: um... what?

veroffica: is this some sort of intervention?

hisshissmotherfucker: yes

spillthefogarTEA: moving in together might be considered friendly if, say, betty didnt already have a house that she lives in

nopeaz: but this decision is beyond simple friendship

hbicheryl: and its certainly anything but heterosexual

wannabett: why are you guys finishing each others sentences?? did you plan this??

hisshissmotherfucker: no shit sherlock

veroffica: how do you guys even have this information??

goingtoheller: we have our ways.

wannabett: archie somehow saw our texts through my window

wannabett: guys im straight!!

goingtoheller: ooh, betty's pulling the straight card.

hbicheryl: i called it! tt, sp, fangs, and jughead, you all owe me $10

hbicheryl: cousin betty is nothing if not predictable in the face of her sexuality being questioned

veroffica: hey, you made bets on this?? not cool!

wannabett: ^^^^

wannabett: and i am NOT predictable!!

hbicheryl: i predicted she was going to say that

hbicheryl: thats another $10 guys

hisshissmotherfucker: for once i trusted in someones willingness to admit when they were wrong and now because of that cheryl is robbing us blind! smh never again

spillthefogarTEA: veronica? you never answered the question

veroffica: uh...

veroffica: i mean, um...

veroffica: we've never even kissed! i'm pretty sure we aren't dating!

nopeaz: to be fair though i wouldnt be surprised if you two were dating without knowing it

jugheadalones: mmmhmm

wannabett: no seriously v and i are getting ready for the christmas eve party

veroffica: within reason, of course.

spillthefogarTEA: wow this is more than i expected to come from this

i would normally agree with you but this time jump feels like a fresh start and like a much needed breeze of fresh air yk. altho i'm still anxious, cuz jr kept saying all the characters will change.. and like dude, i don't want them to change i love them who they are and i'm just sad cuz they won't be the same characters anymore and yet i'm still optimistic cuz like i said a fresh start for many of them and for the show. to summarize this mess: i'm conflicted about the time jump lol

2 parts in your ask so i’ll answer both of them!

“but this time jump feels like a fresh start and like a much needed breeze of fresh air yk” 

that’s the thing. and that’s why i call it shitty writing because the writers created a story and couldnt go with it until the end so they needed a “fresh start”: basically they can change whatever they want during those 6 years with the only reason being “it’s been six years”. they could kill off characters just saying “they died”, they could introduced magic/vampires/werewolfs just saying “the radiation made this magic and 6 years evolution created vampires/werewolfs” (i know they wont but they could, they could think of anything and find a good reason in the fact that it’s been 6 years) and it gets me to the second part of your ask:

“and like dude, i don’t want them to change i love them who they are and i’m just sad cuz they won’t be the same characters anymore”

e x a c t l y. i love most of the characters of the show! i dont want them to change and become something completely different without me witnessing it. it’s not character developtment if the viewers are not part of it. it was interesting to see bellamy change from the asshole early s1 to this awesome character he become, it was interesting to hate murphy s1 but being surprised to see him again in s2 as the funny guy and finally growing to love him more and more as he open himself to another person etc, it was interesting to see clarke’s journey, how much she had trouble dealing with what she has to do and the consequences of her actions, it was interesting to see how monty, the sweet cute guy in s1, had to face horrible decisions, how he became a true hero to the story, saving a lot of lifes multiples times… and i could go on for a lot of other characters… But like… we got to see this. I’m not against my fav characters evolving/changing/becoming different. Not at all! But I want to understand why, I want to witness it, I want to see them grow. And I fear the flashbacks wont be enough to show that. The 100 has a too-fast pace, it focus heavily on plot and sometimes forget about its characters’ state-of-minds (not always thank god but not enough for me at least) + we dont know yet how many ep there will be in s5 but it’ll be 16 max and with the big plot they always come up with there isnt enough time to truly set the characters’ minds dealing with new shit after 6 years, they wont have enough time to explain how they evolve truly.

so i see two options for s5 and the characters: either the characters are basically the same and the writers are not dealing with the 6 years of evident change the characters must have endure or the characters are super different and i wont love them as much as i do now. but maybe the writers will surprise me (i’ve always been torned between “i think they’re good writers” and “i think they’re so shitty”) and we’ll get to see the characters we love at core with a new perspective, a new pov on things etc…

So I get why you’re conflicted with the time jump, i’m not because i just hate the concept of time jump especially in this show because its deals with super heavy plots. We can cross out fingers and hope the writers wont shit everything! (but i only trust them like 30% so…)
