Time to fix some of RWBYs Magic Bullshit

Hey! Im about halfway through the first episode of Volume 6 and Im writing this so I have something to stimulate my brain a bit while also still paying attention to RWBY. I will mostly focus on the "real magic" and whatever the fuck Silver Eyes are and only mention Semblences, Aura and Dust if I need to adjust something. Lets go!

Silver Eyes

In my opinion it would be better to just not have them in the first place, but I feel like that would require more reworking than Im willing to do right now, so yeah.

First of all, make them a little less OP. Like, they can still kill a whole bunch of small Grimm at once if you need them to (they are god-given if I understand it correctly) but the stronger and bigger Grimm should only be weakened. Maybe that Silver-Eyed hound-thing is completely immune. Another idea that might be pretty cool is Salem creating like, Grimm/Human hybrids or Grimm/Faunus hybrids that have Aura, making them immune to it as well.

I also dont like how theyre just like, a genetic thing. It unintentionally makes Ruby seem even less special than she already seems because of Oscar anyway. Instead, I think Silver Eyes should be "granted" to kind-hearted and pure souls to tie better into the whole 'Victory is in a simple soul' thing.

Raven and Qrows Bird Magic/Semblences

Literally just. Switch them around.

Make Raven and Qrow being able to turn into birds their Semblence and Portals and Bad Luck the result of magical experimentation. I literally cant believe that MK went "yeah, being able to basically bend the universe so that it makes you miserable is pretty sick but yknow what else is? Birb"

Basically, I have this idea where Raven was the first one to get her aditional powers and everything went well and now she basically has two semblences, thats nice. But then when it was Qrows turn, something went wrong... Or did it? Like, okay, theyre trying to make Oz all morally grey and all that but from what Ive seen (and read) so far, the worst he ever did was 'be incompetent' and no one (in the show atleast) even complains about that. So, if Oz had deliberatly given Qrow his bad luck for some reason, their distress would be more justified.

Now, this concept would not really work in this current version of the story. Personally, Id like him to be a bit more of third party, who distrusts Oz but still wants to actively fight Salem, unlike Raven.

Maiden Magic

Just, make them more than just basic elemental powers. Id really like it if they were more specific to each season, yknow what I mean? Like maybe they each control the weather thats associated with their season or something; Winter controls snow/hail, Fall controls the winds/rain, Spring can make the clouds go away/make it rain too, Summer can also make the clouds go away/make it hotter. Obviously more than that too, but I cant really think of anything rn, so Id be cool if you guys could share your ideas

Next, tie them closer to the relics and also get rid of the vaults alltogether. Apparently Oz created the vaults himself using magic sometime after he already granted the Maidens their powers, which is just so.... Ugh, it breaks a lot of things, I feel.

I propose making it so that only real magic can actually activate the relics and bring out their respective weird blue thing. I'll elaborate more on that after I assign each Maiden a new Relic, because while I dont know which Maiden goes with which Relic off the top of my head, I do know that it doesnt make sense.

Spring - Creation, because thats when everything blooms and shit

Fall - Destruction, because thats when everything starts to look barren and dead

Winter - Knowledge, because the relic lets you ask anything about the past and something something, frozen in time

Summer - Choice, mostly by process of elimination because I dont exactly know what the relic even does in this case. Ive heard somewhere that it lets you see the future, so Im assuming its kinda meant to parallel Knowledge, like how Creation parallels destruction even though Jinn did tell them about the future when she said Salem cant be defeated

Now that thats out of the way, I'll explain what I mean by "only real magic can activate the Relics". Instead of the magical vaults that correspond to each Maiden, the Relics themselves correspond to them. So the Winter Maiden is the only one who can ask call out Jinn to ask her something, the Spring Maiden is the only one who can call out Ambrosius to create something, and so on and so forth. Theyd still be kept in vaults obviously, but instead of being magical they vaults would be really hi-tech.

And given that Oz was the one to grant the Maidens their powers and Salem and he seem to have same ones, they should also be to activate all the relics. So during that scene before The Lost Fable when Oz and Oscar are fighting for control, Oscar could touch the lamp and activate it instead of telling them Jinn's name. Once shes out, Ruby could ask her about Ozpin and the flashback carries on as it does in the show proper. And now, last but not least

Salem and Ozma's Magic

I'll admit, I didnt technically come up with this one myself, but make the vague runic glyphs Magic rather than a Semblence. Basically, just give them all the powers Weiss had that the writers forgot about. Time dilation, platforms, projectiles, all that jazz. And they should just be able to use the additional abilities that Weiss was able to use with dust, but without needing dust, yknow what I mean?

And since that means the Schnee Family Semblance cant be Glyphs, I think it should be Summoning. Winter is as good at summoning as she is in the actual show but Weiss can only summon simple structures like walls or maybe additional weapons or a shield if Myrtenaster gets knocked out of her hands during a fight or something like that. That way we can still keep her whole arc about learning summoning.

So, those are all of my fixes for the Magic in RWBY, please let me know whag you think!

like ok i said i wasnt gonna clarify but i feel the need to before i get smacked for hypocrisy because there was in fact (and still technically is, currently,) a time in my life when i was jsut fuckin balls to the walls confused about my sexuality

specifically because,

im trans.                                                        (SHOCKING! I KNOW!)

& i have horrible body dysphoria.

to the point where i cannot stomach the thought of my, physical body, in any sexual situation. it repulses me. makes me feel bad and horrible.

my sex drive in general was always rather low, but the dysphoria on top of that.. just.. E U G H.

i figured i mUST be asexual, right? i dont want my bits touching anyone elses bits, ever. i have no desire for that.

but just calling myself ‘asexual’ when i still.. experience some kind of sOMEthing (so long as it doesnt involve my physical flesh prison as it is now,) .. just felt like lying to myself, and others.

because maybe after i “”fully transition”” aka get the surgeries and such i want done, i’ll be comfortable enough with a partner to like.. do stuff. yknow?

so... grey-asexual? maybe? people who sometimes/rarely experience attraction but most of the time dont, i guess thats a good filler to put in place of my sexuality to get a vague point across and then give more details if they ask, right??

but then theres 239047039126481945283154857332 ace discourse posts on tumblr.hell that make it to the point where i dont want to fuckin be anywhere near that jazz. especially when i never honestly felt like it fit me anyway.

the closest ive ever got was the fuckin ‘Autochorissexuality‘, which is “sexual attraction without yourself” .. like! fuck! that hits the nail on the god damn head, doesnt it??!?! .. but, not really, when the further descriptions are all leaned towards anime body pillows and the name is too damn long for anyone to remember and its just.. unheard of to begin with. eugh.

yeah, it got more popular recently through tumblr, but still, if i tried to explain that to someone off of tumblr they’d have a hernia. its jsut not realistic. even though it’s the best thing ive found so far- thanks to tumblr, mind u- it’s still not.. idk. its just not something im comfortable enough to officially fuckin, idk, wear on a badge or some shit??? im speaking metaphorically here throw me a bone.

anyway

even though im still not down-2-clown enough with it to use the label for myself it did ease a lot of my anxiety knowing that this was an actual recognized thing by a handful of other people and that i was not alone in this! and i was in fact so not-alone in this that someone actually cared enough to put together a word for it, ‘aegosexual’, translating to ‘a’ = without & ‘ego’ = self.

that made me feel rlly good, for awhile.. but it still just.. felt like a “tumblr thing.”

and you might be thinking ‘yeah but andy even if its a tumblr thing if it felt right to you then use it!!’ well okay yeah in a perfect world i could do whatever the fuck i wanted but in reality just calling myself the most basic ass “asexual” got me shit for “oh you just heard that on TUMBLR didnt you” because of all the other fuckin mess of discourse and infighting shit.

god i jsut

dont even know what point im trying to make anymore?

because going back to MY OWN WORdS I SAID MOMENTS AGO

i hate what mogai tumblr did to sexual and romantic orientation labels and the fucking THOUSANDS of overly specific and ‘i cant tell if this is a joke anymore’ words and pride flags and shit-

but at the same time, i completely understand the plight of trying to find that little niche hole for yourself that makes you feel like you’re not alone in your feelings and that sometimes having a ‘label’ can be a very good thing if you chose it for yourself.

i guess tldr just uhhhhhh,,,,,,,, fuck this hellsite
