Cow boy outfits for Yanira and Mathew

Also baby Oscar and Levi

And a comic but I didn’t have space for text lol

Comic dialogue:

Mathew: I don’t even know why you wanted to dress up with me. You could’ve picked anyone else..

Mathew: I’m literally the worst person to hang out with…

Yanira:…

Yanira: What are you talking about!? You’re super amazing! Don’t put yourself down silly !

Peak dialogue right there boys 🗿

[hybridanafrost]

Ship ask. Magna x Eirwen, Oscar x Eirwen.

Okay, here we go. Apologies for the wait! Life's been kicking my butt.

Magna x Eirwen

Makes sense, compels me!

I mean, duh. I have a bias. Obviously!

I made Eirwen just to ship her with Magna. That's why she has ice magic to compliment Magna's flame magic. It's kinda funny how the choices I made for her character worked out. According to the manga, Magna describes his ideal partner as:

Now, one would expect someone of that description to be like super hyper or bubbly. And then there's me translating "lively" as: she has anxiety!

Which honestly works out well for their dynamic. Eirwen's anxiousness comes from growing up in an environment where she wasn't given a lot of positive reinforcement. She was born with a lot of magic power yet doesn't have the confidence to use it to its full extent. Meanwhile, Magna is the polar opposite. He has confidence and bravado for days, but his mana pool is on the smaller side. Eirwen has the capacity to keep up with him and then some. She just needs the boost in morale. Magna, being the hype man that he is, definitely sparks that energy in her to keep going. That encouragement helps her come out of her shell a lot more. Once Eirwen starts becoming more sure of herself, Magna falls for her more and more.

Eirwen, in turn, is also very bright and helps remind Magna not to behave so impulsively. She's the overthinker while Magna is a driven go-getter. She helps calm him down when he's about to lose his temper, and he soothes her worries. They make a great team. ❤️

Oscar x Eirwen

Makes sense, compels me! (In a platonic way)

God, these two are cute despite them not being meant to be! It's definitely a "looks good on paper" type of ship.

Oscar is definitely the ideal candidate Eirwen's noble family would want her to marry. He's rich, has an excellent pedigree, and is very intelligent and successful in his field. He is also such a patient, well-mannered gentleman. He would treat Eirwen so well and vice versa.

The sad thing is that Oscar and Eirwen can't exactly grow from one another. Maybe they can help each other with improving their abilities and research. However, they both have very similar personalities and temperament. I feel like they would keep each other in their comfort zones to not rock the boat. Both of them need to grow as people and require someone to motivate them to step out of their comfort zone and give them the courage to do so.

They would make wonderful friends, though. I would love to think of an AU where they were childhood friends that parallel played a lot. I picture Eirwen has fondness for him like that. If they were in an arranged marriage situation, it would definitely be the type where they have separate bedrooms. Not because they dislike one another, but maybe because the lifestyle of the other doesn't align. It would be a prudent marriage where the only passion they have is in their hyperfixations.

[bestworstcase]

(hi again fsdf)

If you haven't already touched on it, do you have any thoughts on Mercury's role in the narrative and his possible redemption in V10+? 🥺✨

first i gotta soapbox a little bit grfxvhk

redemption is conceptually fraught because it inherently entails forgiveness of a debt; to redeem someone is to save them, through either forgiveness or repayment on their behalf. the person redeemed by this transaction is often reduced to passive object, and even in circumstances when they do act, the extent of their agency is asking to be forgiven. within the context of fiction specifically this puts the onus for change onto the heroes—the villain is given salvation through heroic forgiveness—and generally elides both the villain’s agency and their emotional interiority because the focus of the redemption arc is on the villain’s salvation.

(this is fundamentally a christian narrative: sin begets suffering begets repentance, often in the form of sacrificial death, followed by forgiveness. it’s also why everyone went nuts for zuko, because his character arc follows the beats of redemption from inside his head, so the character interiority isn’t lost.)

anyway i bring this up not to be pedantic but because ‘redemption’ in rwby is treated as an innately coercive mechanism:

the albain brothers frame kidnapping blake and assisting in the assassination of the elder belladonnas to ilia as an “opportunity for redemption.” implicitly, forgiveness for her “past failures” and her continued place in the white fang is contingent on her obedient participation in what amounts to a violent coup and profound betrayal of someone she loves. redemption is the weapon used to keep her in line.

salem justifies her decision to abandon cinder after haven on the grounds that cinder failed and must therefore be “left to toil in her isolation until she has redeemed herself.” salem is willing to forgive cinder’s failure (and has thought about giving cinder her aid often enough that she feels compelled to raise the possibility specifically to declare that she won’t), but withholds forgiveness to force cinder into this penitent quest for the lamp.

the divine ultimatum is a redemptive project: if mankind is “unchanged,” they will be found “irredeemable” and wiped from existence. the question of whether humanity deserves to exist at all is made contingent on humanity coming together in humble obedience to the gods (humans weren’t executed because they fought among themselves but because they “demanded things of [their] creators,” thus the salient part of the mandate is “if you still demand our blessings” because that is the sin which must be redeemed). and salem phrases her rejection of this mandate as a rejection of redemption itself.

contrast this against the way the narrative handles actual villain-to-hero arcs:

blake confronts ilia directly on both the morality of her actions and how ilia feels about what she’s doing until ilia voices her internal conflict; after ghira saves her life, ilia intervenes to stop corsac’s vengeful retaliation, then becomes the first to step forward and say she’ll stand with blake for haven academy. blake’s emotional appeal and ghira’s decision to save her life both come from a place of wanting to help ilia, without any expectation that she now ‘owes’ them and the inflection point in ilia’s arc is her actions—stopping corsac and declaring she’ll stand with blake if blake will have her. blake’s forgiveness is (in contrast to the albains’ “opportunity for redemption”) an overt rejection of the idea that ilia deserves to be punished for her past failures.

similarly, emerald’s defection is motivated by her fear and moral scruples which she can no longer ignore, and oscar explicitly makes the point that whether they choose to forgive her or not has no bearing on the fact that she defected. the heroes are angry and distrustful but do not inflict any punishment or demand anything from her except that she keep her unhelpful commentary to herself. the idea that she could work with them is presented as an invitation, not a requirement.

winter defects from ironwood and actively reaches out to her sister to offer whatever help they need; there is never a question of forgiveness, only acceptance of her desire to do the right thing.

neo tortures ruby to the point of attempted suicide, and yet as soon as she decides to change herself for the better, she is given the freedom to do so, one way or another.

the distinction in essence is that redemption is explicitly punitive (“you have done wrong and deserve punishment; my forgiveness is a reward you must earn”) whereas the actual villain-to-hero arcs center atonement (“i have done wrong and now i’m trying to do better, whether or not you forgive me”) and compassion (“no matter what you’ve done in the past, what matters is what you choose to do now, and everyone deserves a chance to find their own way”).

SO all of that is a lengthy way of getting to: mercury isn’t due for redemption, by which i mean no one is going to ‘save’ him in the way a lot of the fandom seems to expect emerald to do. (although i do think emerald will play an important role in his story.) rather, i expect mercury’s arc in vacuo to be about what does he want?

narratively, the point of pairing mercury with tyrian isn’t about terrorizing mercury per se. it’s that both of these characters are nihilists. tyrian seeks total annihilation, mercury actively chooses not to want or care about anything because he feels that being an empty killer-for-hire is what he’s meant for. but mercury’s nihilism is a projection, a brittle emotional armor with obvious cracks (he cares about emerald, he resents cinder, he’s terrified of tyrian).

in a twisted way, tyrian is the idealized form of mercury’s projected self—a living weapon with no purpose other than to enact violence on salem’s behalf—and i think there is a degree of self-recognition lurking under mercury’s visceral discomfort with tyrian. now add to this duo the asturias twins: jax is so fiercely dedicated to his cause that he’s willing to die for it, and gillian loves her brother too much to let him die. the twins are defined by true, passionate, unrelenting commitment to what they want and what they believe is right.

so mercury is positioned between this extreme living embodiment of what he pretends to be, and two people who are exactly the opposite. he is also undoubtedly going to find out that emerald defected sooner or later, bringing his true feelings into conflict with his outward actions. i think it’s likelier than not that he and tyrian will be posing as supporters of the crown, which necessitates some degree of interaction with actual supporters—many of them driven by anger and fear of salem—so mercury is also going to be faced with the harm he’s helped enact in a way that will be difficult to look away from.

where do his sympathies fall in this situation? what does he want? does he know deep down what really matters to him? tyrian and the asturias twins represent the crossroads he’s approaching; at some point the narrative will force him to choose.

which is an interesting set-up because both halves of the crossroads are villainous, so the most intuitive path for a villain-to-hero arc for mercury is one that precipitates villain-to-hero arcs for the asturias twins too. i’ve seen a lot of speculation that mercury might get between emerald and tyrian, but mercury doesn’t pick fights he can’t win, as a point of pride. he does want to protect emerald, but getting himself killed won’t save her from tyrian and mercury isn’t stupid.

but if he and tyrian are masquerading as supporters of the crown, there is something mercury can do that will meaningfully keep emerald safe from tyrian:

tell jax and gillian the truth.

they want to protect vacuo from salem. mercury wants to protect emerald, who is in vacuo, from tyrian, who has infiltrated the crown on salem’s behalf. mercury can’t take tyrian down by himself, but the twins together pose a really credible threat—gil can outlast him, jax can overpower him. they are also generally safer than tyrian or salem, which makes it easier for mercury to take a risk on trusting them.

sure, they might retaliate against him by draining his aura or twisting his memory to ensure he’s loyal to them—but they will definitely take tyrian down. and if mercury comes to them and honestly says he’s been working for salem under extreme duress but he’s got someone he loves in vacuo and he’ll fight to the death on their side if they can help him kill tyrian, well, i’d put better odds on them taking him at his word than i would on mercury surviving if he got between tyrian and emerald on his own. and i bet mercury would run those numbers in his head.

and if he goes to the twins, and the twins hear him out and take down tyrian, then mercury kind of… ends up being a potential point of contact between the crown and shade academy, because emerald knows and cares about him and the twins 1. decided to trust him and 2. know salem benefits from vacuo’s internal conflict and might feel more inclined to set aside differences after being infiltrated by one of her lieutenants.

and. well. yknow. the mythological mercury is the messenger of the gods and all.

[thatringboy]

Now I’m so curious as to the Paths of the rwby characters omg. You said they’re gonna be mostly The Hunt, but that some are gonna change?

Yeah they’re all almost entirely The Hunt/the Path of their home nation with some exceptions.

For reference, Atlas follows Erudition, Mistral follows Harmony, Vale and Vacuo follow Hunt, White Fang follow Nihility, and the Grimm come from Propagation and Finality

Each character and their Path is what they are as of their most recent appearance in RWBY canon, whether that’s time of death, last scene, or as of the v9 epilogue. Some minor characters have not been included as I don’t believe they are necessarily Pathwalkers/forgot about them when this list was made. It’s safe to assume that any non-mentioned Huntsmen follow the Path of The Hunt

Additional note, the line in my post about there only being 4 Emanators in Remnant outside of Ozpin and Salem is still technically true as of the information that Ozpin knows. All other Emanators are mysteries to him and were not intentional. The wills of the Aeons is strange…

If you could swap two characters from RWBY and MHA which would they be? What chaos would it cause?

I totally forgot to answer this before BUT.

Funny you should ask this because I have a WIP (one of many fic ideas that are still in the brainstorming and outlining stage) for a crossover between RWBY and MHA that specifically involves swapping characters who share a voice actor.

And there are sooo many that it would be sheer chaos:

All Might — Dr. Arthur Watts

Bakugou Katsuki — Shay D. Mann

Yaoyorozu Momo — Jinn

Iida Tenya — Klein Sieben

Uraraka Ochako — Lil’ Miss Malachite

Recovery Girl — Fria

(Luci Christian actually voices all four of the characters directly above, plus Little the Mouse)

Asui Tsuyu — Sienna Khan

Amajiki Tamaki — Oscar Pine

Ashido Mina — Willow Schnee

Midnight — Winter Schnee

Dabi — Qrow Branwen

Tokoyami Fumikage and Dark Shadow— Tyrian Callows

Ojiro Mashirao (or Ectoplasm?) — Fennec Albain

Pixie-Bob — Ilia Amitola

Fourth Kind — Jacques Schnee

Miss Joke — Vernal

Tokage Setsuna — Elm Ederne (Dawn M Bennett also voices An Ren)

Mirko — Harriet Bree (Anairis Quinones also voices Councilwoman Camilla)

Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead — Clover Ebi (Chris Wehkamp also voices Roman Torchwick in v9 and IQ)

Mr. Compress — Ghira Belladonna

And this last one wouldn’t be included because it would be too complicated to work into the storyline but Robbie Daymond voices the villain Flect Turn in MHA: World Heroes Mission and also the Curious Cat in RWBY Volume 9.

[sir-adamus]

yeah see that's really the thing

if you're including Adam but completely changing his dynamic with Blake in a story that's supposed to be "what if beacon never fell" (which it's not, because there's the inclusion of an entirely different team with Oscar, Penny, Ilia and Alyx, three of whom don't make any sense on that premise given one's too young, one's an Atlesian superweapon and the fourth is very dead) then he's not Adam, is he? because it would require altering aspects that are fundamental to his character to the point that he's basically a different character, at which point, why include him at all? just put an OC there, or if you want to have Blake with a mentor, stick her with Sienna Khan, or hell, manipulated by the Albain twins, that's got way more narrative potential than "what if the key feature of Adam's character wasn't there"

honestly like, looking into this, CRDL, Roman and Adam get more focus and that's... a choice to focus in on a gang of racist bullies, a racist criminal and an abusive supremacist (and if the latter is having the negative aspects of his character softened or removed, then i wouldn't be too surprised if the same is happening with the former 5 either)

like it gets to a point where it's so far removed from the actual characters it begs the question of why you're even bothering with the pretense and not just making OCs to fulfil that narrative role

Hi again, this is the asker who stated they were a fan of Evermorrow! Recently the creator of it has stated the reason they changed Blake and Adam’s relationship was because they didn’t feel comfortable writing an abusive romance. Sorry if I’m bothering you btw.

no worries, you're not bothering me

so, being completely honest here, not being comfortable writing an abusive romance isn't a suitable enough reason to remove an abusive relationship from a character's story (besides, it's not like it was actually shown all that in-depth in the main show, it didn't need to be, the impact on Blake as a character and how it shaped her is what was important)

like, if a writer is committing to including a character like Adam as a major focus in their story, they have to be ready to commit to portraying him like the absolute shitstain he is - changing it is just whitewashing over the severity of how awful he's meant to be and ultimately does a disservice to Blake's character as well because so much of her characterisation was rooted in the abuse she suffered from him

[tummyisyummy]

Name: Dahlia Foudre

Height: 5’10

Birthday: December 27

Age :40

Magic: Lightning magic

Occupation: Retired magic knight

Birth place: Clover kingdom, Noble Realm

Background:

Dahlia was born to a prestigious royal family who was best known to become strong magic knights. This of course was no exception for Dahlia. Being trained throughout her childhood she strove to become a strong knight just like those before her. While working up the ranks she met a handsome young man named Ciel. She later got married and had a child at age 23. Tragically her husband died before her son was born due to an illness. Still while taking care of baby Levi she continued to be in the magic knights. Unfortunately while on a mission gone wrong she got struck brutally resulting in her retiring early. She continues to live peacefully (though sometimes in pain) raising her son to be a respectable young man.

Relationships:

Family:

Ciel Foudre

Her dear late husband… He was a romantic man who loved her with all his heart. She enjoys remembering all the fun times they had in their short time together. Sometimes his memory brings tears to her eyes. She sometimes wishes for him to see how Levi has grown. She will always tell Levi information about him telling him,”He always loved you even though he never met you.”

Levi Foudre

Her baby boy! Her first and only child. He will forever be her little baby no matter how old he is. She enjoyed raising him even though it was rough at first due to her injury. He’s always been easy to take care of and never really got in trouble. She will forever love Levi and cherish every moment she has with him.💜

Friends:

Gilbert Albain (not my oc belongs to Whackdreamer)

They’ve kept meeting due to those “cool, fun, royal parties”. She at that time was a widely respected member of the magic knights and he approached her because of it. She knows him because of his great inventions and his family’s history with the kingdom. Eventually both families become connected and even set up playdates with Levi and Oscar. Gilbert was also kind enough to get her the best medical treatment for her when she got injured. She’s forever grateful to him.

Margaret Drye/sister Margaret (belongs to hybridanafrost)

Childhood friends! They were always super close even training together sometimes. Margaret even pranked Dahlia a few times getting rid of her salt 😞. Margaret was also a big helper when Dahlia got injured. She babysat Levi a couple of times to help get rid of stress. Dahlia sometimes visits margs church and even donates toys and resources! It seems both will be friends till the end!

Theodora

She met Theo when she discovered her kingdom on accident. Dahlia was looking for a dungeon and while doing so she sensed some strange energy. While going towards it she came across a beautiful view of this secret kingdom. While taking notes on it she was swiftly attacked by Theo. Dahlia managed to talk her down (while fighting back). Theo got curious about Dahlia since she was able to hold on her own against her.(for context Theodora is the strongest in her kingdom) After that they’ve kept in contact ever since! Theo was there for Dahlia during her late stages of pregnancy since her husband had died. She even babysat Levi a lot(she enjoyed it but she wouldn’t tell anyone that). Due to matters in her own kingdom Theo and Dahlia haven’t been in contact much but they are still friends.

Others

Nozel Silva

Captain of the silver eagles. She met him because she attends Levi’s award ceremonies. They’ve talked over tea about how exceptional Levi’s performance is. They’ve also talked about her past with the Silver Eagles. They talk every time she visits!

Oscar albain(also belongs to whackdreamer)

He’s a sweet kid! She felt bad for him because Levi used to destroy his toys but she’s glad they’ve both became good friends.

Trivia

Probably Well known now but she used to be a magic knight. She was the vice captain of the silver eagles before she retired.

She used to ditch royal gatherings. She only attends for the King, the Albains and Levi.

She always gets marriage proposals

Despite visiting Theodora a lot she doesn’t rlly know who Vasilios is.

She can possibly beat Rill or Kaiser in a fight.

She definitely an adventurous type.

The Foudre’s live in a secluded mansion in the woods. It very spooky to look at.

If she was in the modern world she would most definitely dress as a romantic goth.

Totally did not fight against Nozel once

She also paints! She tried to teach Levi but he made a mess

[hybridanafrost]

How about Lumiere x Nero? And Oscar x Nero?

Makes sense, compels me!

I really did love the bond Lumiere and Secre shared. They had a tender connection that was gone too soon. I just adored that aside from all the research they did, Lumiere still had plenty of time to make her a pretty dress! While I personally may not get a romantic vibe from them, their circumstances can be read like a romantic tragedy. To be separated for centuries is just heartwrenching. So I understand why people ship them. I see Lumiere having a fondness for her like he would for Tetia. Maybe Secre's the little sister he wished he had since they had more in common while Tetia was occupied with Licht.

As for her relationship with Oscar, that definitely compels me! They're two nerds in love, and it's adorable! Oscar definitely has his similarities to Lumiere, which makes Nero feel comfortable around him. Poor Oscar is just so awkward since he's so inexperienced when it comes to wooing women. But Oscar is passionate about his work, and Nero is a devoted helper. They make a great team and would be good to each other. I can't get over the idea of Sally and Millie gossiping about them in the research lab together. It just feeds into my love of workplace romantic comedies.

[whackdreamer]

"Show me an angel"

is there anything about rwby that you would have done differently as a writer? i.e. introducing certain ideas of characters earlier, complete wholesale changes, etc.

in terms of major narrative choices, adam attempts to assassinate sienna as in canon but her personal guard remains loyal, there’s a scuffle, and she’s able to escape wounded but alive, showing up at haven to pincer adam’s forces with the faction of the white fang that refuses to go along with his coup.

the albains are loyal to sienna but still weird and disliked – not for sinister foreshadowing but because sometimes people are just sort of weird and off-putting, and that’s a fun trait to give a couple of good guys who show the fuck up to defend an ally who’s hitherto been a bit distrustful and cool toward them when the violent splinter group tries to assassinate him; narratively the albains being like this while aligning themselves firmly with sienna also provides an opportunity to cast the belladonna’s alliance with and support of sienna into sharper focus and perhaps allows for blake to bounce off and talk to some guys in the “yes direct action and tactical violence, no whatever the fuck adam’s doing” camp to refine her understanding of the white fang and make it clearer how adam corrupted what sienna does and believes.

and the arc resolution is sienna reclaiming leadership of the white fang and preparing to clean house while ghira and ilia plan a second, separate but allied organization focused on advocacy with the overall point being that expecting one group to do and be everything is part of the problem.

i talk about this more here. the white fang arc really isn’t as bad as its frequently maligned but suffers from a lack of clarity in how it’s intended message is delivered; the point of sienna surviving and having genuine allies to represent her side in menagerie is to address that lack of clarity by articulating her philosophy and underscoring that the belladonnas support her and ally themselves with her because the objection isn’t “violence in bad” but rather “indiscriminate violence that materially harms the cause and violent infighting are bad.”

aside from that, i wouldn’t change anything significant presuming that i had to work under the same conditions as the actual writers (<- if they hadn’t lost those two episodes in v9, 9.10 wouldn’t feel so rushed and we’d have got that animatic as a full episode; if there hadn’t been budget issues in v5 mistral wouldn’t feel so empty; etc it’s very easy to fix problems like this in hypotheticals where you imagine you have infinite time and money, but in the real world if this were my story and i faced these sort of logistical challenges it would be to the detriment of the narrative in the same ways and i have no interest in pretending otherwise).

all that said

if i were the one writing this story and either i had more money or it was, like, a series of novels (<- which is what i’d be writing, realistically) – the religious layer of the story would be a lot more overt, not just in terms of the religious conflict with regard to the brothers but i would flesh out 1-2 other religions too. blake’s arc would feature wrestling with complicated feelings about god-of-animals-worship. ruby and yang would’ve been raised monotheistic light-worshippers; weiss would be a lapsed orthodox brother-cultist (in my head this is comparable to, say, the chasm between evangelical protestants and a lapsed catholic). oscar would be stolidly practicing some other religion that has nothing to do with the brothers, to ozma’s consternation, because that’s funny. salem would be still a polytheist but pointedly not worshipping Those Two, because that’s also funny.

<- this is not to “”fix“” anything i just think it’s important as a writer to be self-indulgent. and i like fantasy religions. bfrgscbk
