@ketsuppia jonne & veeti amisversumi(?) fan art

Jonnella es-paita, rähjänen työtakki ja adidas verkkarit. Veetillä tommonen magee megaforce lohikäärme-huppari jonka sekin menny pilaamaan rasvatahroilla.

Luin tänään sun postauksia (amiksessa tietysti) ja mulla on paljon ajatuksia, ideoita ja headcanoneita näihin liittyen :D pistetääs saman tien tulittamaan.

Veetiä ärsyttää niin maan perkeleesti Jonnen optimismi ja se ajattelee, että Jonnella on jotenkin täydellinen elämä kun vanhemmat ei roiku perseessä kii. Voi Veeti miten väärässä olet.

Jonnen volvossa roikkuu ainakin 3 wunderbaumia

Ensimmäiset oikeet treffit kebabilla

Mä haluun myös että nää menee kattomaan jääkiekkoa tai pelaa pipolätkää ulkojäillä lopun lössin kanssa

Certified icon rekkalesbo Venla rökittää kaikki ulkojäillä/korttipeleissä/tms

Veeti opiskelisi mieluummin automaalaamon puolella mutta tässä pikkukylän amiksessa ei oo sitä linjaa :(

Veeti maalasi (tai malaa vieläkin) graffiteja

Veeti löytää taiteellisen puolensa ja tulevaisuudessa maalaa ammatikseen autoihin, mopoihin ja ajokypäriin tyylikkäitä airbrush kuvia

Jonne pitää naapurin lapsia kuin pikkusisaruksinaan

Veetillä oli joskus mopo mutta se joko a) meni kolarissa lunastuskuntoon b) joutui poliisin takavarikoimaksi koska veeti ajoi poliisin tutkaan 80kmh viritetyllä mopolla tai c) isällä meni moti veetin käytökseen ja myi mopon

Lompakosta tuijottaa ajokortin 15-vuotias finninaama Veeti

Jonnella on lompakossa kuva siskosta, se löysi kuvan jostain laatikosta mummolasta ennenkun välit meni poikki perheeseen

Jonne & religious trauma :(

Deep moment: Jonne vie Veetin volvolla johonkin soramontun reunalle ja ne makaa auton konepellillä, kattelee tähtiä ja puhuu tulevaisuuden unelmista ja peloista

Jollakulla on kielletty amis/lukio romanssi? 😳

Jonne tykkää tietysti rokista mutta sen guilty pleasure on kunnon ysäri eurodance amispoppi

Veeti tykkää varmaa nykyräpistä ja iskelmästä

Molemmat hoilaa jotain jvg:tä autossa

Ehkä nää hahmot kolahtaa mulle niin hyvin koska samaistun niihin, etenkin Jonneen.

Vox populi, vox Dei

Vuosia olen yrittänyt ymmärtää meidän aikaamme. Missä vaiheessa me aloimme jakautua ja mistä syystä? Kun maailman suurin jännitysnäytelmä (kts. edellinen postaus) on onnettomasti takanamme, niin tämä kysymys nousee uudestaan pintaan. Se ei jätä minua rauhaan. Vuosituhannen vaihteessa kaikki näytti niin erilaiselta. Kaikki se optimismi on poissa ja tilalle on tullut pimeä ja synkkä tunneli. Ei…

#1 that's exactly what I was referring to. That the show was too expensive and RT was carrying far too much baggage that was hitting their intake to do it on their own (nvm whatever tightening WBD was doing). This is not something Viz has to worry about both in terms of baggage and in terms of it being a mammoth of the industry.

#2 Actually while they were Kerry's thing in order to give the crew extended time working on WBD's dime; they wouldn't have been greenlit w/o RWBY being popular. Especially under Zaslav who has made no secret about not being a fan of animation. They wouldn't have put one of their biggest brands in Justice League with RWBY in MULTIPLE instances no less. 2 comic crossover runs and 2 crossover movies; and on top of that the v4-5 canon DC comic run that wasn't a crossover.

Oh absolutely fuck the hell off with this bullshit about reducing shit. Here's a fucking newsflash braindead muppet asshat: THEY WERE ALL RT BAGGAGE DONE UNDER RT'S MANAGEMENT. Repeatedly it was mentioned by those that were part of it that CRWBY were NOT involved in that, it was RT management. So no RWBY is not carrying RT's baggage and you can take that bullshit and shove it up your know-nothing bitch ass.

Distribution platforms do indeed distribute, which then pulls attention and depending on how its done monetary gain. More eyes on the show = more attention, more potential merch sales and selling the streaming rights to others after already spreading the series to new eyes from the first round.

RWBY = massively popular and a 10+ year going on series that has the main FNDM behind it; Ice Queendom is a YMMV interesting SIDE story that has a portion of the FNDM behind it. One doesn't need to strain their brain to figure out why they'd go for the prior. Nvm once again the statements from Erin, Neath, and even Kerry as well as his continued involvement with the series that all go towards v10 not something akin to IQ. "RWBY's future is bright" is NOT going towards some spinoff or alternate series; mocking people that were saying how RWBY was dead is NOT going towards some spinoff or alternate series; Kerry not only being involved but that fact being highlighted by Viz themselves as well as his entire beaming with optimismis NOT going towards some spinoff or alternate series; and none of them go towards the series sitting on a shelf to never be finished. So once again take your baseless salty ass bullshit that ignores reality and shove it up your concern trolling bitch ass.

Why RWBY can't come back

The last news we got of RWBY was all the way back in July, when it was acquired by VIZ Media.

This much serves as a hard letdown for anyone who was hoping Dillon Goo and his studio could acquire the property, as VIZ Media is owned by freaking Shueisha, aka the guys who run Shonen Jump. It is unlikely to be sold back to a smaller studio.

VIZ Media buying it was a baffling choice to begin with, as RWBY isn't nearly as eternally-profitable as some of the other ventures it's been focusing on, such as Bleach and animating its Thousand Year Blood War arc. I suppose RWBY doesn't make for an ill fit when considering that it can simply languish on a shelf generating endless merch sales at a slow but steady pace over the years--VIZ Media is in charge of many, many series, and all of its biggest properties are surrounded by a haze of particle-sized smaller properties whose only real purpose is to add to the cumulative money flow in towards the studio.

But it does mean that Volume 10 of RWBY, in sharp contrast to what diehards crowed about when the acquisition was announced, is almost certainly not coming. VIZ Media's main practice is taking control of works that start in serialization form, usually manga, and adapting them, not generating whole new content. If VIZ Media even did feel like continuing the RWBY Saga, it would depend on:

other writers being welcomed into the room, because VIZ Media is a large corporation and is very unlikely to adhere to any fandomized purist idea that only Miles and Kerry should write for it and be credited with it,

other writers actually wanting to be associated with a series that is so badly stigmatized on the internet now. If you're Rooster Teeth, it won't be hard, you can pick from a pool of fans who will sell their souls to do so (and who cares about any quality), but VIZ wouldn't even glance in the direction of a tactic like that.

And if so, there's no real telling what it would look like, which is the axe coming down for the remaining RWBY fanbase, who are volatile and hostile and protective of what they think RWBY should be (i.e., Miles and Kerry). If VIZ Media is stupid, they'll plow ahead with this anyway, generating almost no profit because RWBY's tiny remaining fandom won't associate with it and RWBY's very large ex-fandom also isn't interested in it, thus falling into that Nintendo-style hole of making something no one asked for and then wondering why it didn't sell.

It would be much more in line with VIZ' profit-lined goals to maximize the revenue trickling into RWBY with another spinoff series like Ice Queendom or the manga series, which won't actually advance the story forward but will sate people expecting a Volume 10 at some point and merely needing any form of content to assure themselves it's inevitably coming.

Unfortunately, that means RWBY as a rebooted series with actual writers is also probably off the table, because VIZ Media are unlikely to do something they view as risky even if they think profit could be generated from it; the safer option is the trickle rather than hoping to strike a renewed spirit in fans.

And so RWBY is very likely to have the ultimate fate that I had naively thought we'd avoided back in May: spinning its wheels on the shelf of anime limbo for eternity rather than rebooting or dying peacefully.

                    there’s no need for it, lena believes. no one besides kara & her cousin would know— and even then, they wouldn’t care, no one in this town would care. fingers curl against the fabric, crumpling it as her grip tightens. if there’s no need to worry about what people would think, then why is it so hard to chose casual clothes for public view ? it doesn’t seem to be a problem to everyone else, & yet, here she is, in a boutique, wearing a business outfit befitting of a luthor, unable to buy a t-shirt she knows wouldn’t be worn for the inside her home. mentally cursing her mother’s teachings & her inability to get rid of them, she lets go of the cloth & turns to the more formal outfits.

Campaign Signs, Empathy, and Optimism

I hate campaign signs. The ones for Trump elicit feelings of disdain toward people I don’t even know. I judge and presume and sometimes even yell at them out loud because I’m alone in my car and it feels good. The signs for Biden make me feel slightly better, but also remind me that the bigger font should spell Warren, or Harris, or Clinton for that matter, which makes me a little crazy too.

I’ve always considered myself empathetic, able to put myself in other’s shoes, but these days, it’s love thy neighbor, but not the one with the Trump sign. I wish campaign signs were illegal. I don’t think they change minds. Not to mention the enormous waste. And speaking of enormous, this year, yard signs have metastasized into banners the size of billboards, visually screaming candidate’s names, stoking the rage of anyone driving by who disagrees, and ruining what should have been a nice drive to the apple orchard.

I fear we’re losing our collective minds, and mother nature’s alarm bells are ringing on ears that are going deaf from all the noise.

Recently, I laid in bed listening over and over again to a tape of Melania Trump saying, “who the f..k cares about Christmas.” I was crying I was laughing so hard – an inappropriate response, sure, but I was tired and slap happy from Debate Week, which was also Raging Fires Out of Control Week, Greenland Ice Melt Week, and Conflict Escalating Between Armenia and Azerbaijan Week, all of it drowned out by Trump World.

The morning after the Melania tapes, I read about the president’s Covid diagnosis and wondered whether or not to believe it. After it became apparent that it was true, and then seeing his colorless face while he made comments from the hospital, I actually felt sorry for him, thinking that he was likely scared, staring down his own mortality. But that empathy didn’t last. His breathtaking self-centeredness a few short days later, when he ripped off his mask and walked into the White House disregarding everyone around him, followed by his increasingly divisive and outrageous rants, made it impossible for me to sustain it.  

This drama we’ve been living within for the last four years is exhausting, and as the election gets close, too many of us spend an inordinate amount of time scrolling through the news, fearing what might happen next.  If only this were fiction. The writers would be instructed to tone things down, that the story line is preposterous, the pace too frenetic, and the dialogue grating and repetitive.  Editors would point out that there is nothing redeeming about the main character, and direct them to give him at least an ounce of humanity – the ounce I thought I saw for a brief moment a few days ago.

I’m slightly embarrassed that I entertained the possibility of a humbling, a reckoning, possibly even redemption, when the reality of Trump is so obvious and consistent.

I wish that I could pull an all-nighter, binge on this god-awful series and get it over with.

Since that’s not an option, I’ll look at the polls, try to be hopeful, and do what I can between now and Nov. 3rd  to increase the odds of a satisfying ending.

Pyöriikö politiikka identiteetin ympärillä? - Francis Fukuyama

Francis Fukuyaman teos Historian loppu ja viimeinen ihminen (1992, The End of History and the Last Man) on varsin ristiriitainen teos. Teoksen sisältämä optimismi tuntuu tänään suorastaan naiivilta, mutta ilmestymisensä aikaan teosta pidettiin täysin johdonmukaisena ja suorastaan profetiaalisena. Kun Fukuyaman sanoihin palaa näin 30 vuotta myöhemmin, niin on melkein mahdotonta tuntea tiettyä…

“Oh this is perfect.” Marie beamed, taking the flower the other handed to her and fixing it to the flower crown, her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth as she examined her work. “I think these might be some of the best flower crowns ever if I do say myself. Don’t you think?”
