How i meet your mother and the story of how Arya Maxson was concieved - Chapter 16

Hello I kinda lost the job where I have a lot of free time to write, kinda, I still don’t know, so im actually not writing a lot, just glympses, so im kinda not finishing the entire fic. I still have the ideas fresh in my mind tho

If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn’t write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don’t finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and comments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive comments of wanting to know what happens next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic

They keep seeing each other, almost everyday, since he would come at the same hour normally she didnt come down to receive him when he landed with the ventibird at the back of the building where the heliport was, the security guards were kinda amused to his visits so…between his soldiers and hers he can walk around and feel protected in the tower even if he wasn’t exactly welcomed, its not like he does big tours anyway, if he walked on the tower, it was at her side because she was showing him things around.

She was now 3 months and changes were really a thing in this place, really, they even start with the painting in the reception, and they were going fast, much more than he could anticipate, they were in the middle of practically a dessert practically obviously that have to be addressed to its success but it was impressive, really impressive.

He was a bit worried about the caps actually, didn’t want her decapitated because she will ran out of caps and disappoint the tennats expectancys by promising all that big works in their homes, but she never address that subject, didn’t talk about that thing, it was something in the air he notices while walking in that big and luxury building.

Better don’t think about it tho, is she asked, he couldn’t help, he wasn’t rich, the brotherhood wasn’t rich.

When he enter into her apartment the first thing he found was Danse sitting on the divan while Nora was on her knees in front of him.

Fuck not again.

They were fine.

-Paladin –Arthur saluted trying to hide his discomfort, when he approached he see some bandages, cotton, and alcohol at Noras side, his boots were off and the leg of his orange suit was up –what happened?

-A Radroach bite him in the subway tunnels –said Nora with a very upset face, cleaning what it looked like a deep cut.

-I told you it was dangerous to go down there on your own –he sighted tired, always feared for her, and their babys sake of course.

-That’s why I was with her –Danse raised a hand, for some reason he looked annoyed- having her back

-We didn’t realize we were so close to the nest –she picked up a clean cotton and pressed it in the wound.

-Don’t worry elder –said the paladin- im taking a group to burn and incinerate the nest, she stays here in the tower–Nora looked at him with a big face of disapproval but as soon he responded with the same face she became…small…my gosh he had a lot of power over her, power he didn’t have without using violence

-Are you alright? –he asked looking at the wound

-You two are over exaggerating over a cut

-Im not, Radroachs eat shit, better clean the wound so you don’t get a serious infection or some sort of illness –said Nora- the only reason im not needling it is because I want to see the evolution -or because she wanted an excuse to touch and be around him.

-So, why are you here? –ask Arthur not wanting to sound like a possessive jealous asshole but it was a curious question…

-I have no active missions right now and she ask me to be her guard…-yeah, running behind her heels as usual. The fact that she was in love in him was a bit his fault too, for giving her ilusions all the time, he doesn’t pull her apart.

-Danse do you want to stay and have dinner with us? –said Nora getting up and standing at Arthurs side giving him a kiss on the cheek, surprising him a lot, almost making him jump in his place because well…they never do much stuff with public, and less with him, her romantic interest in front of him.

-Does he know? –when he ask that Nora pick one of his hands and place it in her three months belly, he understand- right-but he also noticed Danse disturbed face looking at them- whats up? –what was up with the romantic interest?

Danse was mad, angry, despite what he says of Nora he was very in love with her, deep down at least he wanted her for only him. It was selfish not wanting her to have a serious commitement but also denying himself to her. It was like both wanted but at different levels and he didn’t want her to have nothing with no one else. Neither with him.

-Nothing, its just weird seeing you two together –Nora look at him, and Arthur became jealous- my boss and my sister

-Repeating: do you want to dinner with us?

Danse looked at her annoyed, Nora was smirking.

Arthur was between them.

The paladin was annoyed that she was at another man sides, and she was enjoying his frustration. She was playing.

Danse was very pissed.

-Im fine, ill join the other soldiers at the brotherhood room –she laughed a bit, how evil.

-Why don’t you help them to set up the pool table? I actually don’t know how many men are necessary to assemble such a silly thing.

-Very funny.

The brotherhood room was an apartment she settled in the third floor for brotherhood soldiers passing by the tower, the guards of Arthur and the ventibirds, patrols, guarding caravans, scribes and field researchers…it has a few bulk beds, a fridge, a terminal, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, some wardrobes with mirrors and clean clothes so underwear she selected by color for them to have them discriminated among the tenants, a few crated boxes for each bed, some personal hygiene items like combs or toothbrushes same with scissors and anothers etceteras, fresh aquapura in the fridge they of course refilled and noooooooow a pool table! For everyone to chill and play, that table was in a very poor shape and she asked a carpenter to polish and coat entirely, piece to piece.

Reception now had its own power armor station, yeah, just were everyone can see it, in a corner behind the stairs, but in the reception, so no one would say that the brotherhood soldiers were doing dangerous things with their power armors there and there in the building, nono, they were at simple sight doing brotherhood thing like repairing and maintaining their power armors, simple.

-Try to not leave burns of cigarette butts on it, you know what I have to fight to win that pot of coat in Hardware Town

-That groups of raiders wasn’t really a menace

Oh gosh Arthur didn’t want to be in the middle of them, every time they talk he noticed a strong sexual tension between. It makes him sad. Will he ever achieve this type of connection with her? Ever?

-Im serious ill make it a rule to not fucking smoke in the pool table, if I find some kind of burn ill stop distributing my precious new toothbrush supply

-Oh you turn insufferable sometimes –said Danse tired picking up his boot to fix it and stick his foot inside.

-I suppose you can clean your teeth’s back with the same old newspaper you wipe your ass, two in one, just don’t forget the order –when the man moved down the leg of his orange suit Arthur noticed that she was defying him to fall into her trap.

-You never follow through on your threats –said the man doing the enough to close the boot and the leg, just the enough to be able to walk without his clothing falling apart as he step.

-Shut the fuck up –now Nora pick Arthurs arm and hug it…soooooo he was between them. He was now her object to cause jealousy in the paladin.

This wasn’t right. No, he didn’t want this for himself. He didn’t deserve this.

Now he didn’t felt comfortable

Sometimes he felt like he should leave.

But then his eyes moved down to her growing belly bellow the dress, the belly he saw growing every time they were together and those guilty feelings disappear.

Two months more passed, and one day a radio signal was presented in the elder Maxson office, a scribe informed him that a radio signal asking for help was emitting from Tenpenny Tower specifically medical help. The distress signal was emitted by Paladin Danse. It was strange, help? For Nora? For who? For the people? For how many people? For what kind of medical attention? For only medical supplies?

He sent a ventibird with a medical squad of scribes because the transmitting doesn’t have much information about what was needed and for some reason when the ventibird gave the warning that it was already close to the citadel coming back after 3 hours Arthur came out to the trainyard to see what was all about, what happened?

Danse came down from the ventibird with Nora in his arms almost running to the ring A door, his Nora, the Nora that wears dresses and high heels. Arthur saw for a glimpse of second how a part of her head, legs, and arms were covered in bandages and he freaked out, running to ask the scribes what happened and letting him find the necessary and urgent medical care for the woman.

Apparently there was a rider strike into the tower gates in the morning, they attacked demanding the remaining amount of caps that she announced for renovations 5 months ago, like she said the running caps were really in the place renovations, if the works were taking place the caps will quickly ran out and there will be no attacks or riots to empty the tower funds, but this fuckers came to raid the remaining, whatever whats left even if she never was really really clear about the amounts or accountability of her caps, and as he know personally from her mouth, it was still a lot, more than 70%, there will be a lot of money for a lot of time in the tower, her money was still in the tower and from now, it was a target for raiders, now there were going to be attacks to raid one of the most wealthy points of DC, right now the Tenpenny Tower was like a big bank, a bank that in some place, hidden, saves caps, enough caps to do real works and repairing over a 300 years old tower to give their old pre war glory back, the voice of luxury run along wastelanders apparently.

So now the mother of his children was living in a at a point that would be constantly attacked for very valid reasons and known and expanded among the wastelands.

-What happened to the raiders? –ask Arthur, there was also a few people badly hurt in the ventibird too.

-As far we know, all the raiders, dead, but we arrived there and get the hurt people on the ventibird as fast we could –said a scribe packing down their stuff to make more space.

-You should ask Paladin Danse, Elder-said another one, also making space to move down the ventibird the hurt people- they waited until there wasn’t brotherhood soldiers staying in the tower, so as far he explained to us it was him, the sentinel, and the guards.

-It was a big attack –said Arthur surprised that three of her guards were badly hurt inside the ventibird even.

-Coordinated apparently –one of the scribes pick up a guard in his shoulders and the man do his best to stand up and walk to go down the ventibird.

-They did a good job keeping them out and out of the doors–said one of the scribe also picking another guard in his shoulders, the man squeak in pain but also get on her toes to stand up

-So what happened? –asked Maxson, but then a guard talk while being helped to stand up in the gurney.

-Nothing serious, collateral damaged, most of us are fine –well fine say the brute with a very big hole in the thigh, bleeding dark- that paladin of yours insisted in radio when the doc of the tower had too much between hands

-I bet that if you all can’t wait it wasn’t nothing serious –said Arthur with a very despicable tone, gosh how difficult these people are to stand.

-As far I threated her she has a severe blow to the head and some nasty burns on the leg, only scratches on arm –another scribe talk- I told Paladin Danse to take her quickly to do an exam…after all she is very pregnant and apparently it was a rough fight.

-It was but because no one stick a dick in my ass no one cares that much about us

Something trigger bad inside Arthurs mind and without a dub he pulled out a laser pistol from the waist of the scribe who was helping him to move and shoot the guard in the other leg, so he can match the holes. The man scream and Arthur throw the pistol to his face, smashing his nose in pain.

-Don’t worry I bet you can also get your ass broken even without trying -said the elder with a sarcastic smile, then, look at his own scribe and kindly smiled at her trying to change the mood- Is the blow on the head very serious? it is urgent to treat?

The scribe swallowed hard and looked away, holding the guard who was still shaking from the pain of the laser burn in her arms, holding him so he wouldn't fall, it was especially difficult because the elder shot him in the leg and she wasn’t going to say anything to the elder about who to shoot or not - I'm more worried about her pregnancy, but I don't know how physical the fight went, we weren't there

-Alright, make sure to attend this gentlemen’s over here –said Arthur before spitting in the ground, the three guards slurped saliva and two looked bad at the one who talked shit- and then make them wait at the outsides of the citadel for a caravan to pick them, no ride

When he turned around to start walking to ring A he heard the mates of that man cursing at the insolent fucker because he couldn’t keep his damn mouth shut and not cause problems.

Have fun walking in the desert, asshole.

Nora was sitting in a gurney when he found her in the medical care, Danse was standing next to a wall while a scribe was opening the bandage in her leg. Arthur didn’t care and enter anyway, she didn’t look good.

-Arthur –she called noticing his presence at the door frame, the man sighted and walk inside, she raised her hand and he pick it, looking at the scribe work.

-Are you alright? –she nodded-mind telling me anything?

-Just raiders doing their thing

-Not talented enough tho –said Danse smiling a bit to ease her

-Came a big group of assholes demanding the Tenpenny fortune –he laughed a bit, it wasn’t exactly Allistar fortune- that if we didn’t open the gates they were going to tear it apart from the outside and that’s where I get worried, Gustavo shoot a bitch in the leg and that's when it all started –Arthur pressed on her fingers, worried.

-They weren’t able to cross the gates -said Danse

-You did a good job tho –Nora smiled at Danse- shooting first the ones with backpacks

-I learn from the best –the way both smile at each other made Arthur uncomfortable- You did it great with that Hunting rifle too

Danse loved how capable and high skilled she was, he knew that since the paladin presented her to him in the Commonwealth, had a thing that drive him automatically to sponsorship her without a doubt

-So how did you get that burn? –ask Arthur

-A fucker throws a Pulse grenade, surely they didn’t know for what it was, it doesn’t make much damage but the electricity burns the skin so bad –the scribe showed him how damaged and red the skin was, making little cuts even- I was away enough to save the face

-Your pretty face –said Arthur with a smile making her blush, the scribe was present…

-I regret a bit not using pants –she say trying to diffuse the shame in her face a bit, not used to him being affectionate in public- next attack im going to change fast –next attack hu?

-Its your head okay?

-Im not feeling well actually

-We are doing tests now-said the scribe to Arthur- to see how deep the blow is or if it caused any bruising, the same with pregnancy to check that there is no problem, after all in a fight things can get very tense especially after receiving blows-the elder felt trough her hand how her body shiver at the mention of her pregnancy.

-Did you engage any fight? –said Arthur to Nora

-No, I avoided them all of course–she pressed more on his hand at saying that looking for support, it really affects her thinking in the well being of their child. The scribe gets up to check on her other arm and take off the bandage.

-Its true, she was participating from the distance –said Danse-but there was a lot of things flying around

-And explosions –she clarified- a rock hit me very hard for one moment, I almost see black but I keep shooting and shooting until that fuckers went down.

-Alright we can talk about that later if you don’t feel good right now–Arthur looked at her and smiled to reassure her, which it worked because she smirked a bit- we are going to take those test and –their eyes connected in that moment light blue and brown- I have a surprise for you –Danse raised an eyebrow curious and suspicious, what was that- a few months ago I order a transvaginal ultrasound machine –her eyes bright more than he ever saw in her in his life- and now you are 20 weeks it arrived here at the citadel –Nora almost squeak of joy and that was so strange to watch for the three people around in the room, jumping on her sit.

Never see her so happy.

-I cant believe it, are we going to know the baby sex!? I didn’t know that was possible! –all worries she had about the state of her pregnancy disappeared, she felt awful since the moment that grenade caught her leg but right now everything surely must go just fine! They were meeting their baby! This was a happy moment!

-Or more importantly, its status –the way she smiled make him happy, it sparked something inside him, joy- We are checking on your head, an ultrasound and then prepare yourself for the transvaginal okay? –she nodded, and tried to stretch a bit to kiss him in the cheek, but she couldn’t for being sitting, he noticed and moved down, Nora appreciated this and kissed him in the lips as a reward.

While Danse had never see her this happy before, well, maybe one time.

The first time they sleep together. When she was still excited thinking he had feelings for her.

-I really need to keep working in her wounds over here –said the scribe a bit uncomfortable by the couple display, not because they were being cheesy or anything but because they were the elder and the…sentinel…it was strange to see! Didn’t expect it from him at all, the man always had such a strange port…

-Yeah –said Arthur sitting in the gurney alongside Nora looking at Danse, placing a hand in her waist making her jump–we need some space here Danse, can you come back later?

The paladin rolled his eyes, of course, the man moves from the wall but when he was about to cross the doorframe…

-Thank you for having my back Danse –she said smiling. Was aware of Arthur pushing him out from the conversation but right now she can’t care, she had something more important in mind. Something he never wanted to take part of.

-Always, sister –hearing that legitimaly delete Arthur smile from his face even if the paladin wasn’t replying happy or neither content with the situation, more tired and defeated than everything. A question appeared on his mind: what was Danse doing at Noras place?

Nora’s wounds were treated with cold ice patches and disinfectant, yes she had some head damage for which she needed rest and check-ups for a while, but it would go away, it was not too serious nor would it cause any kind of impediment if she took the necessary rest and care, if she really take it.

After she was told that he decided to calm her down and stay at her side like a gentleman until the time of the ultrasound and after of course. The pregnancy was fine, the baby was just fine, nothing different from the last time they do an ultrasound except for the natural growing of this weeks, her heart rest in her chest finally when they hear that result and fuck she needed it, she felt so bad for deciding to be involved in stopping that piles of scum invading the tower instead of letting her guards work and secure herself in her apartment, if something had happen to her baby…

She will fight for that baby that’s for sure but better nothing happens to it while she can breathe and move.

And even if she cant move she will tear the earth apart to find the culprit, as she did before with Shaun and the Institute.

When the transvaginal was ready Arthur took her hand and smiled to ease her even hiding his own exciment to not disturb her, maybe now it wasn’t the right time, she was injured and with a severe blow to the head but she apparently needed it even more than him, she wanted to have this results as soon as possible, wanted to see their baby moving. Even though her head hurt and was about to explode, she wanted to see her baby, she really wanted to see him before she could go to sleep and rest.

It took them more than half an hour to get the perfect image, half an hour where his hand was squeezed and pressed hard as they couldn't find the baby until they finally found it.

-Thank god finally –said the scribe who had the honor to meet first the elders firstborn in this exam today.

-The motherfucker was well hidden –said Nora recovering her breath laughing at her own joke, at the 15 minute it stopped being funny and it became disturbing, her heart come back to her chest again.

-I don’t think motherfucker is appropriate –said the scribe moving the image better, zooming out and changing lights on the machine- it’s a girl

Nora laughed happily, almost screaming with excitement, her cheeks hurt from smiling so much and the apples on her cheeks were stiff and red. She tried not to move so as not to lose the image that they had worked so hard to achieve but she was so happy, really so happy, she had wanted for almost 12 years to live this again. Her dream was finally coming true, this was perfect, their child was perfect.

The wound on her head hurt, forehead hurt as keeping his eyes open, smiling caused her burning but she still needed to be present at that moment with Arthur and the baby girl.

-I choose a name for her –she said with her eyes lost in the screen, knowing exactly where to look at as this wasn’t her first pregnancy to go through, looking at her little girl in the view she imagined so well in her dreams and desires- I want to call her Arya -her hand pressed hard against his again, trying to hold on to reality somehow- It’s a mix of our names, Arthur and Nora

-We can save this images in a video and photos to record the evolution –said the scribe actually surprised for how happy the parents were, especially elder Maxson, didn’t imagine him so excited about being a parent. He was such a serious man since a young age, it wasn’t common to see happy expecting parents in the wastelands neither that’s the true- Im going to start recording now its moving, before it wasn’t moving at all so it was hard to distinguish!

-Yeah that sounds amazing –said Nora with a fulfilling sensation on her chest, she really accomplished something great right now. She has a daughter now. Her little Arya –do you like it? –she said pulling him by the hand to make him pay attention, but his eyes couldn't leave the screen, and when she noticed that Arthur wasn't responding, she turned with all the pain in the world to see him.

He was crying, he was crying with a smile on his lips, a really big smile, a smile she never see before on him in all the years she knows him. And that's when she regretted never given him enough attention, of having missed that smile of his until now, why had she missed that smile? Why hadn't she done enough to cause it? It was a beautiful smile, it brighten the room and elevates the mood that couldn’t possibly go more high.

-You mean Arya? –Nora nodded at him with a smile while he put a hand on top of both of them together- I like it, Arya Maxson sounds great.

Despite they never actually discuss the name subject he thinks it fits perfectly, Arya Maxson taste good in the tip of his tongue to talk even, he cant find anything negative to talk right now anyway, it was perfect, everything was perfect about his little girl

And Nora finally had what she planned, a child with the Maxson lastname.

Arthur kissed Nora in the cheek without his eyes leaving the screen. Neither loosing his smile

[camelely]

That was pretty good. It didn't blow me away, but it was enough and cute and a fun time lol. Okay Flash spoilers here we go...

So first things first the speed family. The show has been building to this moment. It was a cute moment and I liked it. I've said this before but I like Nora and Bart. Plus Barry got his moment later with Godspeed and RF so like I don't really understand why people are so mad about it? I read a few comments about how everyone getting speed boosts was bad but it wasnt the final moment. It didn't take away from Barry. And it highlighted multiple versions of hero speedsters. The only one really missing was Wally. I'm bitter about Wally, but I know thats not the shows fault lol.

I kinda liked how they ended the forces thing. It was a bad plot all around but using it to justify Iris being able to anchor the SF and get RF out of the negative SF was fine. I'm glad she got a moment but I wish we got to see more of her reporter thing. My favorite solo Iris plots have been her blog from the early seasons and her starting up the citizen. I just wish they let her exist in that mode, but thats more a criticism of the show as a whole and not this episode.

Caitlin and Frost being separate is better than I thought it would be. I wish the Cisco and Frost vs. the Clones thing was more actiony but it was fine and I like that they had that moment. Their friendship is so underrated. People Always talk about original team flash and Barry and Cait and Barry and Cisco. But Cait/Frost and Cisco have such a deep history I'm glad they had some time together. I hope Frost's LI Mark? or whatever his name was makes another appearance the relationship seemed kinda fun lol.

Of course Kristen Kramer is a meta... I'm still not a fan. Her plot can be reduced literally to I saw a bad meta so I became anti-meta and now that I am meta I'm no longer anti meta. The writers did not want this plot they wanted it gone and they ended up worse off than if they didnt do a policing plot because frankly this one has left multiple bad messages. Also I know a lot of people thought Frost was a bad choice because shes white and guilty but like in real life the guilty are used to set precedent which is then applied to the innocent. They should have gone that direction with the whole thing. They even had Kramer say she wanted to set a precedent, if they had stuck with this it would have hands down been a better plot IMO. It was clear from the start the plot was a result of rewrites and growing criticisms of how the police are portrayed in media. But frankly even straight up cop shows have handled it better than this did. But anyway moving on.

There was a moment when little Nora said something about how Barry didn't know what Hart capable of. And it struck me that neither do we. He was a big fight this season and all we knew about him was stuff we were told, and most of it came from Bart in the last episodes. All the Godspeeds we had before were clones, so we never really got to see Hart. Plus since RF fight wasn't a big battle, to quote the show "that's future us's problem" The Godspeed fight was the big fight this season, and it was really well done. I wish we got more build up for him, so the payoff would have been more earned.

Allegra and Chester are still a little irrelevant. But I'm glad they are getting more screen time. I think they should have stopped the Allegra plot with Esperanza leaving and saved her death for next season, or done it earlier in the season. Frankly it was crammed into an already full last few episodes and didn't leave the impact it could have. She deserved to grieve and have her entire Flash family support her and help her through it. Although I did think her and Chester had some cute moments. I don't ship them yet, but I am glad they got the screen time. Plus Flash newbies supporting each other is cute.

The vow renewal was fine. It was a bit quick lol but I guess since they never had a wedding with their family after the Nazi attack they deserved it. It was cute. WA is cute. Like they are a good couple anything with them being cute is good IMO lol.

Overall, the first half of this season was in my opinion the worst of the Flash and probably the worst of the Arrowverse. I know thats very arguable but it's how I'm feeling lol. The second half was significantly better and I'm glad we ended on a better note than we started.

RWBY V8E3 LiveThoughts

Its Saterday and that means its time for everyones favorite post spam; Orca-mun bullshits about RWBY! And here we go.

On a personal note I barely ate anything today so my brain is jittery. I ate something before this of course but one does not solve low-food jitters instantly. So we’ll see how this goes.

Also the more that I hear the opening for this season the more I hear things that I have had Ash say before.  “The hope to change the world is just a childish dream”. It comes off in the song as kind of a poke at Ruby and her team, same way as how V3s opening was all about loosing and falling, but here I cant help but hear it in the voice of Ash, caustic and sarcastic, angry at the world for his own issues and putting it onto the “blind, naieve Huntress’s” Ironwood now has his team focused on.

Actually again, a lot of the song is talking about stuff that is probably coming up in the show. “The path we tried to avoid is already here”. “Path home is suddenly clear”. Basically hinting RWBYs going back to Vale at some point. But we knew that already.

And again, the part with time stopping while Cinder walks among the fighting reminds me of a shittier version of the I Know You trailer for Halo Wars 2.

And now the episode actually starts. Apperently, riding the pnumatic tubes does NOT instantly kill you. Im...half dissapointed. At the same time it makes sense, they seem to be fully sealed so. 

Doesnt seem like its fun though thats for sure.

Dear Blake; please stop being adorable.

Oh, and we get to see how Penny see’s the world too. Interseting. Wireframe with data...and shes unintentionally doing the Konami Code if Im not mistaken.

Also cool to see that the active camo semblance works exactly like Halo’s active camo, ergo; its bending light, not true invisibility, since you can JUST BARELY see the shimmer where they are.

And this moment is a painting I like to call; Five Lesbians and a Robot in an Elevator. Legit shocked Atlas doesnt have elevator music...

And we finally, FINALLY get some reference on the storm. Shorter Atlas trooper sayd “they cant get too close to that storm without getting shot out of the air”.  Okay...so Salem actually has defenses against airships? Couldnt they have SHOWN THAT?

Also, props to the female VA for sounding like AN ACTUAL FUCKING SOLDIER. “CO can get us some answers”...hell yeah. And then Nora’s randomly a dick for...no reason.

Penny’s finger has a scomplink just like in Star Wars.

And they didnt think to remove Peitro’s security clerance, alright then. Someones gonna know they were there though since she used his ID...but maybe thats part of the deal. They get in and get out fast.

Central Command is so dissapointingly small. I HATE IT. ITs two rows of consoles and like...8 dudes. No, wait...three rows? For a place this big it should be six times the size and look more like NASAs mission control.

Nice to have some data on how Ruby’s semblance works though. She apperently breaks herself down to her component molecules and negates her mass and HEY thats how I said Ash moved! DAMMIT RT

Also I guess Remnant follows SOME laws of physics.

NGL Blake is suddenly being a better character now that shes not held down by Yang. Might just be me though. 

“Busy” says Ironwood. In my head, the five minutes before this shot; EXECUTIONS EXECUTIONS ALL THE EXECUTIONS. MUCH PURGING, VERY CLEAN NOW.

Oh I LIVE for the sudden look of shock on Watt’s face. Bro KNOWS what Ironwood can do. That said, obviously hes going to turn on him because...duh. Its Watts. But hey, least hes a little afraid. Unless its an act.

His acid snark against Penny is refreshing. “Magic science project” indeed.

Oh, thats why hes so worried. FOUR DUDES AIMING GUNS AT HIM. Nice. 

CALLED IT

“Authorization granted to handle any threats with lethal force”. GOOD. 

Oh no, Nora’s got an idea now. Im worried.

I get the feeling the random office geek guy that Nora trips is someone from RTs office, hence the “#1 Dad/Dud” mug. Dumb

Home made sign. Really. REALLY.  UGH GOD DAMMIT RT. 

Funny sign though.  Also the scream from the tech is so fake its not even funny

Wow. For fuck sake. Thats how they get through. Seriously.

Seems I paused at the right moment. Blake is very confused about being inside Ruby.

Nice to see that Atlas follows OSHA regulations and has railings on its weird catwalks.

Hardlight forcefield door? Interesting. I guess May went off to steal an airship or something.

Also this is something I JUST remembered but I thought Johanna was the trans member. Actually thats May. So thats my bad.

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT MINDJACK!

Why’re there holes on the base of Penny’s gloves...

No logiccal sense to half of Atlas’s tech, glad to see that hasnt changed any.

Blake is me when my dads working at his office and taking way to long to do anything.

Blah blah okay talk less do more shit. Character stuff BORES ME

Hm. Nora speaks the truth.

ANNNNDDD its the Ace Ops. Now lead by Hare.  ...no cuffs. No heavy equipment. No gas weaponry. Nothing. They know exactly how strong these people are and instead they show up with ALL OF THEIR OLD STUFF. Are you fucking serious.

STOP TALKING AND JUST KILL THEM ALREADY DAMMIT! Marrows comment is how I feel. But I think hes lying. As does he, I think.

I like how its Vine doing the talking, and that they start by trying to REASON with them. They’re scared. They know they might not win again.  They’re taking the cowards root. To no ones fucking shock.

UHHHGGGG all of this fukcing mind shit with Penny is really pissing me off.

Good, now the fighting starts. Thattttss why they;re on the platform.

Hey, actual teamwork out of the Aces, kinda. I guess their boss being dead helped.

Okay seriously how the HELL is she not fighting this easier? Shes a robot, surely she has predictive combat algorithms...

Man Marrows getting SHIT ON this fight.

Mmm. Hare thighs. I like

Weiss says the truth for once

And all the fancy work and fighting is ended simply by a beefy woman grabbing Penny. I like that honestly. Simplicity, brutality.

Wait never mind.

HAHAHAHAH OFF THE Wall and now she flies. No shock.

HAHAHAHAH YES

Good shit. Good work Marrow.

Well that works. JESUS FUCK Nora.

Yow they’re not DEAD. Excuse me

Oh look Nora’s...wow. Cool, scars.

Still mad Pennys swords are on wires, but hell. Wire funnels are wire funnels. Or would those be incoms? I dont quite remember the distinction.

Marrows quiet look is kinda sad. Oh good nora’s not dead.

But they are down a person and...ah. They’re letting them go. Death Star tactic.

New ship design, havent seen this one before. The whole top part opens which is interesting to me. And then she just GONE. 

Ah. So thats what they were doing. Cool.

Obviously gonna backfire, but hey, who knows. Maybe RT will surprise us.

Annnddd thats it for the show.

RWBY Musings #64: A Squiggles Meister’s Views on the potential parallels between the RWBY V3 and V6 finales.

I’ve been saying this for a while now but I believe the CRWBY Writers might be gearing us fans up to have the V6 finale pay homage to the epic V3 finale or at least that’s my theory. So if I had to guess the parallels to V3 that might pop up during the V6 finale, here’s what I think they’ll be:

 Grimm Rampage through Vale ------ Grimm Rampage through Argus

During V3, the City of Vale got rampaged by hordes of Grimm including one colossal Grimm Dragon. I have been wondering what the point of the Wall of Argus was alluding to. I still stand by my previous hunch that something is going to come from beyond the wall to rampage the city. Either that’s the case or the one in my next parallel.

Grimm Dragon from Mountain Glenn ----- Grimm Hecatonchire from the Wall of Argus

A bit of a stretch but what if… there’s secretly a Grimm Titan like a Hecatonchire Grimm that’s secretly hidden inside the Wall of Argus. Since Cordo preached about her Atlesian ancestors helping to form Argus, imagine if those same ancestors put Grimm inside the Wall of Argus or built the city around one that’s been dormant for centuries just like the Grimm Dragon.

In the series, Attack on Titan, it was revealed in a later season that there were Titans in the actual walls that were supposed to keep humanity safe from the Titans. Imagine how cool it would be if a Grimm Hecatonchire suddenly immerged from the Wall of Argus in the same fashion as the Grimm Dragon in V3 and similar to its Dragon counterpart, it also brings forth legions of Grimm to prey on the innocent civilians of Argus, forcing the Argus Military to cease their pursuit of our heroes and take immediate charge to protect the citizens of Argus.

Huntsman vs Atlesian Paladins-----Huntsmen vs Atlesian Megazord

In V3, we got all the main huntsmen from different academies working together to defend Beacon against the swarm of corrupted Atlesian Paladins. Now in V6, it seems C10 set up out heroes who, may not be from different academies but represent the diversity of the kingdoms in a sense (minus Vacuo) going toe to toe against Cordo and her Atlesian Megazord.

Weiss Summons Armor Gigas against the Paladins---Weiss summon Armor Gigas against Cordo

In V3, we got Weiss summoning part of her Armour Gigas for the first time. Right now, Weiss’s trademark summon is the only thing that can grow to a size big enough to give Cordo’s giant megazord a run for its money provided she has the aura levels to do so. I’m sure if Jaune were to amplify Weiss’ aura, the same way he did with her last season and at the start of V6 with Ren, we could get our first ever giant robot vs giant armoured summon fight in the history of RWBY.

Velvet Weapon Reveal ----- Oscar Weapon Reveal

Need I say more? V3 was the first time we saw Velvet’s weapon and her semblance I think too in action. Who knows? If we play our cards right we might finally see what the Oz-cane can do at its true power because as a Pinehead, I have definitely been wondering what tricks to the Oz-cane Oz was talking about back in V5.

Cinder killed Ozpin ---- Neo kills Oscar

Now before my fellow Pineheads come at me with them pitchforks for daring to even theorize this, let me explain my hunch. What if…on the same level as Adam’s reappearance, Cinder Fall also shows her face in Argus and she targets Ruby as expected. So Cinder overpowers Ruby with Neo’s help and just as Neo is about the deal the final blow to Ruby, Oscar jumps in and takes it for her, right through the heart.

I have been hearing this whole thing about Neo doing something to make the fandom hate her going around for a while and I’ve even had one or two fellow FNDM come to me with the theory of Neo harming Oscar. Well here’s my rendition of that theory. What if…Neo goes in for the kill on Ruby but Oscar daringly jumps infront of Ruby to shield her and takes it. So Oscar is there on the ground on the cusp of death. Maybe to make the situation even more dramatic, he straight up does die in Ruby’s arms, shocking her and the fandom.

Then after Oscar technically dies, instead of going to the afterlife as one would expect or reincarnating, Oscar shockingly winds up in the Realm between Realms where he meets the God of Darkness, similar to how God of Light met with Ozma. To Oscar’s surprise, a reluctant Ozpin is also present. The God of Darkness then offers the two souls something neither could refuse. He offers them the chance to undo what his brother did centuries ago. As it turns out, the whole reincarnation thing was all Light’s idea because he still believed in humanity and that they could change.

His brother felt the opposite but he did want to entertain himself a bit with his brother’s immortal pet. So he offers both Ozpin and Oscar the chance to undo his brother’s curse so that they may return to their normal lives free of having to be revived to continue his brother’s dirty work. 

But he only offers the deed to one. In order to decide who gets to return to the land of the living, God of Darkness forces Oscar and Ozpin to fight each other one and one to see which soul gets revived only. And to Oscar’s surprise, Ozpin actually wants to fight him so that he can finally be free. So the two souls fight. Of course, Oscar wins and gets to go back but this time he’ll be revived by himself as himself. No longer will he have Ozpin’s voice inside of his head. He’ll be his own person again. He’ll be…alone; a comment made by a grief stricken Ozpin.

It’d be interesting if we could get an equivalent of Oscar calling out Ozpin in the same manner Ruby did to Qrow in V6 C10. Oscar scolds Ozpin for his words implying that he’s never been alone. He’s always had his people. His friends and so does Oscar and so long as they accept him and wish to keep fighting, so will he until his dying breath. His last dying breath in his now only life.

The God of Light’s curse was bestowed so that Ozma was never alone during his cycle but Oscar would be revived as himself without Ozpin. He will be the last incarnate. The last life. The last Wizard of Light. So as Ozpin goes to the afterlife, Oscar returns to the real world where he returns as himself to continue the good fight.

This parallel will probably not happen at all. Definitely not. But as always, I wanted to toss it out there just to entertain myself at the possibility, y’know what I mean?

Team JNPR dies with Pyrhha ---- Team JNPR is reborn with Oscar

Ya’ll know I’ve been saying this since the beginning, right? Ya’ll know how much I want that Team JNPR Revival with Oscar replacing Pyrhha right? I feel like these past two episodes are slowly gearing up to have this happen. Though I didn’t particularly enjoy C9, it did give me my biggest indicators of Jaune asking Oscar to join JNR. 

That Pyrhha closure for JNR. Jaune mentioning in his own words how valuable Oscar is to the team. Bruh, at this point, I’m just waiting for this to come. I’m waiting on this conversation.

Cinder killed Pyrhha----Jaune kills Cinder

This one I’m a little iffy about. I know I’ve been waiting for Jaune to have Justice for Pyrhha moment with Cinder but after C9 I don’t think Jaune will be as angry to kill Cinder anymore. I mean, if Cinder turns into a Grimm monster or gets eaten by a Grimm only to fuse with said Grimm making her less human. Then I can see Jaune being the one to deal the final blow on Grimm Cinder. I’ve said this before too. If anyone deserves to kill Cinder, it’s Jaune.

I doubt the Writers will make him kill her as human but…if she turns into a Grimm then it’s a bigger possibility but that’s just me.

Adam vs Blake and Yang ----- Adam vs Blake and Yang The Remix

Duh. Just duh. This doesn’t even need to be on the list because it’s something the season has been alluding to all volume. Plus C10 already showed it happening. The only twist I can think of from this fight is if Adam dying at the end. I know some people like Adam as a character (like EruptionFang) but I really feel the Writers might be setting up for V6 to be Adam’s curtain call.

I can’t see Adam moving forward, not after the focus he’s been given this season. It’ll be interesting if Adam ends up dying in a similar fashion to Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast. Like he tries to stab Blake but ends up missing and falling to his death. Or maybe he ends up caught on the ledge and Blake tries to help him. Like I’m picturing Adam on the ledge with Blake offering him her hand only for Adam to refuse and fall to his death or something. That’s my hunch.

Then after the Adam fight is one and he’s no longer a thorn in their lives, the Bumblebee could finally have their closure with that. Who knows? Maybe they might make Bumblebee have a moment in the V6 finale. Instead of Blake crying over Yang getting hurt, it’s the two smiling at each other after being found safe together. Maybe they might even kiss, who knows? I’m not a Bumblebee shipper but if a kiss somehow happens between these two gals, I won’t be shocked. I can expect Yang to kiss Blake revealing she’s in love with her.

Again, I ship BlackSun but Bumblebee peaks my curiosity particularly with how Yang sees Blake. I’ve always viewed the Bees as being a ship driven by Yang mostly. Ironic since Yang’s motorcycle is also named Bumblebee. Any Bumblebee hints or vibes I’ve gotten throughout the seasons came mostly from Yang. I think Yang might care for Blake in the romantic sense. Blake I’m not sure about.

I don’t know if Bumblebee is in the cards. All I know is that I think the series has kind of dropped one or two hints about Yang’s true feelings that I’m waiting to see addressed in some shape or form in this remix rematch battle. If all the Bees do is hug then cool. But if they kiss, I’m just saying I won’t be shocked. But that’s just me.

 Arkos First Kiss ---- Renora First Kiss

Nothing serious, I just want to see these two kids kiss finally. And what would be great is if Nora and Ren kiss after the group save Argus. The Arkos first kiss was bittersweet because it was Pyrhha’s last chance to let the boy she loves know how she felt about him before she sacrificed herself. A Renora after battle kiss would mean hope and happiness. For Pete’s sake, it’s been six seasons, let these two kiss already you cowards!

Alrighty then, I think that’s all the parallels I have in mind. If I think of anymore I’ll add them to the list later. For now, enjoy guys!

Join our live chat with 'Social Network' stars Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg

PatrickDay: Hello and welcome to our live chat with Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, the stars of "The Social Network"!

PatrickDay: This chat is moderated, so there will be a delay between your comments being entered and them appearing on the site.

PatrickDay: To keep things manageable for Jesse and Andrew, we may slow down the rate of questions as they appear in the chat.

Jesse_Eisenberg：Hello? andrew_garfield：testing eisenberg can you hear me?

Jesse_Eisenberg：I am here in space.

andrew_garfield: hello

andrew_garfield: so hows it going?

PatrickDay: Hey Jesse and Andrew! Thanks for joining us. One of the biggest questions everyone has is whether you two are in the same room right now...

Jesse_Eisenberg: We are in different rooms, but they look the same

andrew_garfield: i designed my room to look like his kitchen

andrew_garfield: the chicken got shorted

PatrickDay: Facebook has been in the news quite a bit since the movie came out. Developments with the Winkelvoss twins, etc. Have you two followed the latest or have you been busy with your own careers?

Jesse_Eisenberg: I follow the facebook news as a layman. I'm interested like everyone else is, and I don't feel that I have any special insight into their business.

Comment From Karen ：Congrats to both Jesse & Andrew on their brilliant performances & success in "The Social Network", Andrew, your performance in "Never Let Me Go" blew me away. As an acting coach you totally moved me. What type of preparation as an actor do you do to bring about such emotionally moving characters?

andrew_garfield: well karen thank you

andrew_garfield: i find it very difficult to be an actor to be honest. to access emotions on cue is an inhuman thing to achieve. so its never simple

andrew_garfield: i trained at a great drama school and had great teachers and i am constantly inspired by other people s performances

andrew_garfield: and if you are in a scene with a great actor opposite you your job is easier. like jesse was incredibly useful

Jesse_Eisenberg: i agree with Andrew; it is easier to act opposite someone who is good and taking it seriously. Performing can be such a strange and silly thing, but if you're working with people who treat it seriously and are thoughtful it can become wonderful and a lot of fun

Comment From Joan :Hi Jesse! How do you do?

Jesse_Eisenberg: Hi Joan, I am all right. how are you?

Comment From steve ：i loved the scene when you smashed the computer, how much did you enjoy that, spidey??

andrew_garfield: steve yes it was very fun.

andrew_garfield: i have a lot of rage as a person which i didnt realize i had

Comment From Brandon：hey hows spider man andrew

andrew_garfield: brandon spiderman is great fun thanks. and really tiring, but mostly fun as hell

Comment From Vik ：You guys are wonderful! what were your favourite movie of 2010?

andrew_garfield: vik i really loved the fighter, toy story 3, carlos, a prophet, how to train your dragon, the karate kid........many more

PatrickDay: Social Network seems to be a triumph for something people say was endangered in Hollywood -- the adult drama. Did you guys ever wonder while making it if there was an audience for this?

andrew_garfield: yes patrick constantly. we never thought anyone would watch it or see the point of it

andrew_garfield: maybe cos we were so close to it

Jesse_Eisenberg: To Patrick: While we were shooting the movie, I thought it was going well and would be good (the script was phenomenal) but I was actually a bit concerned that it might be too clever or too complicated/fast moving to be followed and enjoyed by many people

Comment From Simi ：Is there any special director you would like to work with that you haven't yet? Either of you?

andrew_garfield: simi i love ken loach, paul thomas anderson, mike liegh

Comment From Andrea ：Jesse, you said you listened to a lot of musicals growing up. What's your favorite musical?

Jesse_Eisenberg: To Andrea: I like Pacific Overtures, Floyd Collins. You?

Comment From Amy ：For Andrew: I recently rewatched a lot of Doctor Who episodes, and noticed you were in Daleks in Manhattan - what was it like working on Doctor Who?

andrew_garfield: amy, it was great fun, i love david tennant, hes so talented and i am a big fan of the show so it was just pure fun

Comment From Nora ：How are your cats, Jesse?

andrew_garfield: how are your cats jesse?

Jesse_Eisenberg: Hi Nora, my cats are weird

Comment From Mel ：Hey Andrew, how has it been working with Emma Stone so far?

andrew_garfield: mel she s very special. and hilarious and sweet. its been pretty great i really like her. you d get on i think

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Mel: the score perfectly suits the film and these characters. There is a strange and off putting musical buzz through a few of the tracks that coincides with mark's inner life -- never shutting down and a bit dark

Comment From teapot ：has there been any point where you've seriously reconsidered acting as your profession? i'm about to start uni this year, studying graphic design and have had a few doubts about starting a career in the creative world.

andrew_garfield: teapot. yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesy all the time. i always have doubts about what to do everysecond of my life. read if you havent already, letters to a young poet by raine maria rilke

andrew_garfield: that helped me......a bit

Comment From Michelle :Hello, Andrew and Jesse! Would you ever consider co-starring in another film together?

Comment From Erica :Jesse, what is you favorite Andrew Garfield film? and Andrew, what is your favorite Jesse Eisenberg film? (My favorite is Red Riding and Adventureland!) =)

Jesse_Eisenberg: To Michelle and Erica: I would love to be in another movie with Andrew! It was a thrilling and challenging experience. I love andrew in everything I've seen him in

andrew_garfield: erica i feel the same way

PatrickDay: Fincher's talked about making actors shoot scenes until they flub up and create something spontaneous. Can you both give an example of a "flub" that made it into the movie?

Jesse_Eisenberg: To Patrick: We would do many takes of each scene, but it was more about being able to try many different things, rather than trying to screw up in an interesting way. We said every line in the script word for word, so there are no improvised lines and very few improvised moments.

Comment From Ally ：Were there any scenes you were scared to film or that were difficult for you guys?

andrew_garfield: ally i was scared to film the scene where i smash the computer, and the scene where brenda song goes down on me.

Comment From Jenina ：how many takes did the laptop smash scene take?

andrew_garfield: jenina, a bunch. all told in the 60 s probably???

Comment From Allen ：Hi guys, I was wondering if there were any paricular rituals you went through to get in the mindset of Mark or Eduardo while filming? What types of activities get you in the role or scene?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Allen: I liked to listen to mark's voice during the day on an ipod. He speaks with such assurance and conviction that it helped me get into that mindset

andrew_garfield: allen, i danced alot. in my trailer before most scenes. and i listened to alot of samba music and the city of god soundtrack

Comment From Ali ：do you ever suffer from character bleed when filming? like fi you're character is in a bad headspace, that follows you out of the studio? or are you quite good at shutting off from your character?

andrew_garfield: ali, i find it hard to drop the scenes from the day, especially if we hadnt completed a scene and were gonna shoot the next day. that was hard.

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Ali, If you're spending so many hours a day trying to experience the character's life, it necessarily bleeds a bit into your life even though you know it's not real.

Comment From alice ：how your lives changed after the social network? I mean, you guys were famous already, but that was kinda huge.

andrew_garfield: jesse gets mobbed at whole foods now

PatrickDay: And playing off Alice's question: judging by the attendance in this chat, you guys have a lot of female fans. Have you noticed a lot more female attention in real life?

Jesse_Eisenberg: by my mother

Comment From Arline ：Have either of you done any theater and if so how does a film's stop and start (non?) momentum differ from the constant concentration of theater acting?

andrew_garfield: i prefer theatre acting, it is more of an extreme sport

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Arline: Theater has it's own difficulties, but gives you more opportunities (and more time) to try things

Comment From Lauren ：Andrew your American accent was brilliant! How much practicing did you have to do for it?

andrew_garfield: lauren thanks. my dads american so i cheated

Comment From Adriana ：will you guys be at the palm springs festival today?

andrew_garfield: adriana yes. will you?

Comment From Laura：what was the first and last scene you shot?!

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Laura: The first scene we shot together was exiting the Bill Gates speech (although it was reshot several months later). The last scene was the final deposition room scene.

andrew_garfield: laura my first scene was with the silly hat outside the carribean party, and my last scene was getting the phoenix envelope slipped under my door

andrew_garfield: jesse you lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesse_Eisenberg: i stand corrected

Jesse_Eisenberg: I'm now standing

Jesse_Eisenberg: its harder to type

andrew_garfield: hahahahaha

Comment From fede ：i have to ask this to jesse, How was shooting with flip flops?..it seems brutal with the weather

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Fede: running with flip flops is painful and dumb. my legs hurt for months.

Comment From Andrea ：Did you make up that little dance you did Andrew?

andrew_garfield: andrea, that was coreographed by the bolshoi ballet

Comment From Joanna ：Have you ever had any fan experiences that kinda made you go, "Hmm, I should install more locks on my door"?

Jesse_Eisenberg: i was stalked by a locksmith

Comment From karatesluts :Andrew, do you know that most of Tumblr refer to you as Bambi? How does that make you feel inside? Warm, I hope.

andrew_garfield: bambi? like the deer? cool

Comment From Jenina ：Who would you cast to play yourselves in a movie about your life?

andrew_garfield: jenina, i would cast fela kuti

Comment From anna ：Is JT actually that suave or is it all an act

andrew_garfield: anna, jt is the best.

Comment From Diana：andrew: congrats on that hair award you got from esquire!

andrew_garfield: diana thanks x

Comment From Jenny ：Andrew, did you get to learn anything about Brazil/Portuguese? And Jesse, did you learn anything about programming? Also, your opinions on Persian cats, please.

Jesse_Eisenberg: Hi Jenny, I tried to learn about computer programming, but it is very difficult. I stopped trying early on and just focused on mark's walking style, which is less difficult

andrew_garfield: jenny, i hung out with a bunch of brazilians in la before shooting, i went to some capoiera classes and learned a tiny bit of the language

Comment From steve ：how was it working with a guy who had to act as two people in the movie? how was that experience?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Steve: Armie Hammer worked with another actor named Josh Pence to create the twins. They are both great actors, though Josh's face was replaced by a computer generated Armie's face. It was confusing a bit for me, but far more difficult for Armie and Josh

Comment From Patrickk ：Andrew, what was the fire scene with Brenda like to film?

andrew_garfield: patrickk, it was really fun. shes so adorable, and yet so terrifyingly intense, so my job was really easy. i just watched her

Comment From Stan ：Andrew, what's it like going from a film like Never Let Me Go, with a 15 million budget, to a film like Spider-Man?

andrew_garfield: stan. its not that different. only i feel alot of pressure and responsibility and i have never been this busy or tired. but im really enjoying the challenge

Comment From jennifer： Jesse, was it challenging being socially awkward and starring in a movie about social networking? How was that self-discovery process?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Jennifer: mark does not fit easily into the normal social structures of school (and life) but because of his alienation, was able to develop the perfect insight into how other people want to interact with each other. It is not paradoxical or ironic -- it is totally fitting that he would create this site

Comment From starwarsfan013 ：what are your favorite books?

andrew_garfield: starwarsfan, i love catcher in the rye, amazing adventures of kavalier and clay. i am reading a book by elia kazan right now, which is great

Comment From Michelle ：What was it like filming the scene with Aaron Sorkin?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Michelle: Aaron was very funny in his scene. he's a good actor and actually began his theater career as an actor.

Comment From Nora ：with great power comes great responsibility, andrew

andrew_garfield: nora, i know. i really know. it sucks

Comment From Anisha ：Andrew, how draining was it working on such an emotional movie like Never Let Me Go?

andrew_garfield: anisha, it was great actually. the extreme emotional scenes are fun once you ve shot them. you feel a sense of release and relief

Comment From Jennifer ：Is it hard to go from seeing your co-stars every day while filming and having that bond with them, to not seeing them after you wrap?

andrew_garfield: jennifer, i miss jesse

Comment From Nicka ：Do you guys find it weird watching yourselves on screen? I feel like that would take some getting used to.

Jesse_Eisenberg: Dear Nicka, it's very strange to watch yourself in a movie. Andrew says it's like hearing your voice on an answering machine times a thousand. I try to avoid it as much as possible. we have seen this movie one time.

Comment From Alice ：Gosh, Andrew, we have similar taste in books :)

andrew_garfield: alice, cool, maybe we should meet and get married

Jesse_Eisenberg: i also like those books!

Comment From Mel ：Andrew and Jesse, are you both excited for the Golden Globes and who would you like to meet while there?

andrew_garfield: mel, id love to meet christian bale. he blew me away in the fighter

PatrickDay: As the stars, are you guys usually privy to all the storyboards, plans, etc. Or does the final form of the film come as total surprise?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Patrick: the final product of a movie is always different than I pictured it to be while filming, so it's a jarring thing to watch something you've seen a million times in your head in a completely new way

Comment From Sara Jabeen ：Hey, Andrew. :) Can't wait to see you in Spidey

andrew_garfield: sara, thanks i hope i do you proud

Comment From Deirdre ：Jesse and Andrew, who were some of your favorite actors growing up?

andrew_garfield: deirdre, michael j fox, daniel day lewis, tom hanks,

andrew_garfield: thanks nicole and chloe. i love your work too

Comment From Charlie ：Do you ever regret going into acting because of the publicity side etc?

Jesse_Eisenberg: why does your sister not like me, Adriana?

Comment From lisa ：andrew, what is your response to people who say you are too old to be playing a high schooler version of Spider-Man?

Comment From Patrickk ：Andrew, do you find an American accent hard?

andrew_garfield: patrickk. yeah i find most things hard.

Comment From Ray ：To both Jesse and Andrew: what made you decide to become actors?

andrew_garfield: ray, i wanted to pick up girls. then i realised acting can be a generous act

Jesse_Eisenberg: Hi Ray, I did children's theater when I was very young (8 years old) and found it to be a comforting way to avoid having to see friends on the weekends.

Comment From Paulette ：Andrew, just read and watched Never Let Me Go. Every aspect was perfect. I'm sure you'll be a great Spider Man

Comment From Emily ：Are there any questions that you've wanted people to ask (while promoting a film or campaigning for awards) but never have been asked?

Jesse_Eisenberg: to emily, every question I wanted to have been asked was asked by the journalists in japan. without exception they asked the most probing and psychologically astute questons about the characters

Comment From Katy ：Jesse, can you do a british accent?

Jesse_Eisenberg: hi Katy, I'm doing a british accent right now, I am.

Comment From Allie ：Do either of you have any tips for people that want to become actors themselves, or any suggestion as to where to begin?

andrew_garfield: allie. find out why you want to be an actor maybe. and take some classes with a great teacher that suits you instinctively and study plays. read shakespeare and miller and chekov. read all the great playwrites.

Jesse_Eisenberg: hi Allie, my advice would be to try to be involved in as much as possible. local theater, friend's readings, improvisation groups, etc.

Comment From Tammy ：I'm really sick right now and being in this chat is making me feel better. I love both of you guys, never stop making movies.

andrew_garfield: tammy, get better

Comment From Linda ：Andrew and Jesse - Did you both do the commentary track for the DVD?

Jesse_Eisenberg: the early years

Comment From marilynmay ：Is there a person you'd love to portray in a movie?

Comment From Amy ：So it seems both of you are into music (albeit, different genres); would you ever consider putting out a record or track (like how Carey Mulligan did a brilliant song with Belle & Sebastian)?

andrew_garfield: amy, we have been working on a rap album. neuroses based rap

Jesse_Eisenberg: to Andrew: you would have been a great kes

andrew_garfield: jesse would have liked to to have played the eponymous kestral

PatrickDay: Jesse, in talking to people about Zuckerberg, have you found opinion split by age? (Younger find him admirable and exciting. Older find him selfish and petulant?)

Jesse_Eisenberg: the reaction to zuckerberg in the movie is all across the board. my mother said she wanted to slap me and then hug me. this has been the most common reaction. It makes me happy to hear that because it means people are invested in the character in a very real way

a thing about rw.by

this is a whatever. not a meta or a theory or really a well-thought out critique. if anything I guess im just voicing my frustrations. if you like rw.by, please, please dont read this. you wont like what i have to say and i am in no way looking to upset rw.by fans, i just need a good old fashioned shout into the void. theres some things i liked in here too that actually came out whilst writing aha, so its not all my bullshit.

my main gripe with rw.by at the moment is the lack of character development for ruby rose. you know, the main character? which i think is the reason why my heart breaks a little that i dont love it as much as i used to. i identified so much with ruby. a little girl with a heart too big for her brain, who just wants to protect and help, having to come to terms with the fact that the real world doesnt make noble goals like that easy? thats my childhood right there. 

the latter is something that hasnt been touched on as far as ruby rose’s character development goes until this season, and even then it hasnt really been touched, or lightly brushed, its been mentioned. ruby thought saving the world wouldnt take that long, that the world wasnt as big as it is; she apologises to jaune for dragging jnpr along with her. all INCREDIBLE MOMENTS I was really happy about, but they werent expanded upon. it was like the writers wanted to hit a checklist of ‘make sure the audience knows ruby is naive and sad but hopeful’ rather than making it more engaging to learn about as aspects of her character, which is just lazy storytelling. 

show, dont tell. they’ve done that with juane. they’ve shown that he’s upset about phyrra’s death, they’ve shown him get mad at the situation and with qrow. he’s never outright voiced these things about his character like ruby has about herself, and we all knew she was a little naive. season one, weiss accusing ruby of being a bad leader and them showing the audience ruby trying to get better was so much better than just having her be like ‘im a little naive but ill fight for the greater good!’ like she has so blatantly been this series. 

like, why would she not get mad at her own uncle for keeping her in the dark about someone wanting to kill her?? ruby’s what, 16 at this point? 15 at the least? would she not at least be a little bit annoyed, and would that not show some character growth on her part if she was? my naivety ended, personally, when i stopped trying to be so dang optimistic, (this can become more complicated to explain, as obviously you still have to have hope in the world while keeping a level head and ruby is still young, but, thats another conversation) and if that moment hasnt happened for ruby after 1. penny dying 2. phyrra dying 3. her uncle keeping important information from her 4. her sister having her arm sliced off 5. her friends being split up from her 6. nearly dying to a foe way more powerful than she is, even with her silver eyes -- then when?! 

and lets just get it out of the way -- i dont fucking hate juane. i really, really like him as a character but i just fucking wish he got less of a spotlight because so much more attention is being payed to him and his journey and how everything affects him over ruby. it just is, and it sucks. i like theorising about his semblance, im pretty certain he’s really fucking powerful just like ruby is, but if he unlocks and masters his thing before ruby does i will be so pissed, and the only reason i say that is because it feels like thats the way its headed. 

juane is a lovely character. he’s heroic, he’s actually quite brave and smart, and he’s a good fucking friend. he’s a brilliant support character. but for the love of all that is holy, focus more on ruby when they’re in the same scene. about how he’s helping her on her journey, why could they not have had one conversation about phyrra on screen is my question. they did it really, really well it season one, and i was very loud about the fact that no, juane doesnt get more screen time or attention, but during season four it feels like he -- like everyone that isnt ruby or the other three titular characters -- has over ruby. 

just, please, rwby season five -- give ruby rose more character development. prove me fucking wrong and reveal that you were playing the long game, please.

also; i havent watched the last two episodes, but if it turns out the ‘’’cure’’’ to yangs ptsd is a new arm. fuck, man. please no. but i cant really comment on that yet so, we’ll see. i actually, up until seeing the preview for her spraying her arm and all that, really liked yangs journey. and taiyang is such a sweetheart i adore him. he was so patient and gentle and loving with yang, a few moments had me cringing but overall, an enjoyable part of the season. i hope yang gets to punch adam in the face. 

blake’s journey is one ive enjoyed also. and tbh, i think sun following her and thinking she was on a personal mission to take down the white fang is a very sun thing to do, and i think blake surprising us all by saying no im not gonna do that is a very blake thing as well. sun is spontaneous, carefree to a point and very dedicated to taking down bad guys. projecting that onto blake was his mistake, and im really glad that blake is the one to voice the audiences frustrations at how annoying it is that he follows and harrasses her into taking action (even when a part of us knows that she should -- a really, really well written aspect of blakes journey actually, i really liked it) (sun really needs to have a ‘okay im being a creep im really sorry’ moment but i dont see it happening. again; prove me wrong, guys.)

blake so, so needed to see her family. im glad she could see that and im not surprised that she wanted to run under the guise of ‘resting’ like. come on blake, we all know you’re scared shitless. her characterisation was on point, probably the most out of the four girls. blake was a+ in this season and im really happy about that, come to think of it aha. i hope she gets to punch adam too.

weiss im satisfied with too, although i really wish that ironwood and her got to talking. he didnt necesarily need to save the day for her, i would think that a guy fighting her own battles -- even if it is a ‘good one’ like ironwood -- would irk her, so it wouldve been nice for them to talk. (im still fucking salty about juanes ‘you can have her’ to neptune like lmao fuck off you fucking dudebros THAT WAS SO ANNOYING anyway) weiss being able to call off the thing she summoned before it hurt the lady would be a sign that yeah she’s getting strong but she’s learning control, so. shrug. 

papa schnee is an asshole, where is mama schnee?? and i FUCKING LOVED THE PLOT POINT THAT HER DAD MARRIED INTO THE FAMILY. please let this be an opening for a badass but subdued for Reasons mama schnee (although my hope is not that high)

my main, number one, OVERALL problem with rwby since the end of s3 to s4 is that they dont give the characters that need and deserve the most time and attention just that. i know its a small crew, i know that what they do and the time they do it in is amazing and admirable, and i do admire it and applaud it, they work so fucking hard and deserve praise for that. but they dont use their time wisely when it comes to assigning it in the narrative. and thats more of a writing issue, anyway. 

and another fucking thing. the majority of the interesting characters that arent the main four and are alive and have been developed or made mysterious enough to warrant interest from the audience are fucking men. and yeah, no duh jade, welcome to every piece of media for fucking ever. qrow is an asshole that everyone loves, raven is probably going to turn out to be a bitch -- the majority of salem’s ‘court’ or whatever are dudes. ironwood. ren got backstory over nora. blakes dad. adam taurus. for all that i love him, fucking juane. did we learn anything about phyrra that wasnt her explicitly telling us her backstory? no. we felt sad that she died because of her connections with other people, but, lets face it, mostly juane. im still adamant that she didnt die just for him, that she knew there was a bigger picture and genuinely loved him, but from a narrative pov him and his reactions was a bigger focus point especially in the aftermath with season 4. 

(ruby fucking unlocked an ANCIENT POWER BECAUSE SHE SAW PHYRRA DIE AND SHE DOESNT GET TO HAVE THE SAME EMOTIONAL SCENE ABOUT IT THAT JUANE GOT??? PLS LAST TWO EPISODES. GIVE HER THAT AT LEAST. PROVE ME WRONG.) 

i remember at a rwby panel at rtx one year, when asked about making a series that has four female protaganists, the guys said that they didnt see it that way, that they were just writing a story about a bunch of kids and yeah, i get that. but its not. 

its a story about four strong, tested, young women and they need to stop being oblivious to that because the narrative is fucking suffering.
