I see a lot of discussion in the DR fandom on some characters that die early having "missed potential", and while I agree that definitely a few of them could have been written better or differently, part of me wonders if that missed potential is kind of the point? A character is shaping up to be something, so you get invested in their story, which then makes their early death all the more tragic. I mean, of course it's still a tough needle to thread to get it to land as tragic versus falling flat, and I'm not sure how closely some of these characters hit the mark. But I Do think some characters aren't actually "missed opportunities" and instead played their role in the plot how they were meant to, if maybe a little suboptimally.

Full Tech Day One pic today from kiko laureano (denizen of skid row / ensemble) & video (that's four seconds of "ya never know" playing over the static image) from & ft. marcia milgrom dodge (director / choreographer) double captioning "there might be puppets in this musical ;)" & "Well Shake my hand! Come see LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS @guthrietheater featuring @actually_will_roland's hand!"

I prefer Guys characterization in the princes path rather then his consort route

I feel like all the routes should've progressed slower tbh but with Guy in particular I feel like it would really work with a slow burn romance

Also, unrelated but MC always falls in love with her chosen consort by chapter 10 like girl you've known this man for 2 weeks

watched a time loop horror movie w my wives last night and it was very funny. like a somewhat mediocre and very mid-twenty-teens movie, but still fun! it's interesting seeing how different characters react to time loops - i was surprised by how similarly this protagonist ran the second loop to the first, and then how quickly after that she veered into chopping off her hair and killing people. in her defense though, getting stalked by a killer is probably one of the most stressful ways to go!

My character is currently working down in L.B. Industries to grind their Shadowy a bit, and I know why the rats aren't a faction. We're not worthy of them. They have on-site babysitting.

when people used to say “You can tell when Hasbro started pandering to bronies” about FiM’s run, I used to say that wasn’t true at all. now I’m rewatching the series and yeah lol you can definitely feel the shift

Adam/ironwood blog being the last hold out of constant rwby discourse is more of a case of obscure character hyperfixation. Since everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has been said about rwby already, the only reason to still consistently talk about it even as no content has come out in a while, is if you 'really like a thing still' like people who still have blogs dedicated to RvB characters.

if it was like One Weird Guy i wouldnt find it so odd but its like an entire group of people who decided the shows failings are actually about these paper thin male characters to the point of making up genuinely delusional fantasies where the poor mistreated animators were actually making ironwood look like the good guy to rebel? against rt. bc i know if i was a mistreated animator i would put extra work in for no benefit to anyone including myself. extremely normal thoughts to have.

Although Sera is technically a phoenix at her core, she doesn't really have all that much in terms of access to her power. Everything she held to her name as Aria - her ice magic and healing magic, mostly - has been locked down underneath a frozen glacier deep within her, wrapped tightly around her core as Aria and preventing her from getting any too close to any of it. What abilities she does still have are completely minimal and require some kind of aid for her to use them, be they materia in FF7 verses or her vision in Genshin Impact, etc, and are never stronger than the small bits she's able to safely use as a human - totaling out to maybe 3 or 4% of Aria's full strength.

Even so, this naturally makes her skills a slight bit stronger than the average human's, even though it's not much. When casting something like Blizzard, the ice hunk created might be a tiny bit bigger and more solid than say, Zack's, while her healing skills are a smidge stronger in a similar fashion, being able to fully heal certain injuries where others couldn't, but still not much past that. It's enough to be noticed if one is really paying attention, but not much overall; While someone could reasonably tell her ice feels colder to the touch and in a couple inches bigger in formation at best, it's really not all that remarkable, and her lack of skill with other magic types and elements naturally leads to the thought she was likely just focused on the two and failed to train in anything else.

She cannot access anything under the 'frozen lake' without dying, the power too much for her human form to handle, and though she doesn't understand why she would be so afraid of such a thing, even she doesn't know if that death would be her last, a concept that is terrifying and she's done her best to not think of due to a severe lack of understanding. There's no telling what it would take to retake her original form as the Snow Phoenix at this point, but the signs of her being less than an actual human still remain, even if she can't explain them - She's just slowly learning to accept them as just being Sera.
