#penny return

[etinceelle]

So how penny returne would actually help jaune ruby and winter (genius quation)

So my thoughts on that is that Penny always was this kind of representation/embodiment of hope, especially for Ruby but also for the world. This was reinforced in Volume 9, with the auction scene in Chapter 2 (Jinxy asking Ruby "enough hope to fill this jar", especially to get the jade marionette that is actually Penny's blade in disguise, and a bit later when she talks about Penny to the guards, "she sent a message of hope to the stars"). Even when she was introduced in earlier volumes, she had in mind that "one day, it'll be her job to save the world". Penny's theme is surely about choice and freedom, but it's also about hope and about believing, about having the light, and her return kinda served that purpose for Ruby to me. Ruby spent like 2 years trying to accept Penny's death and to mourn her, and Volume 6 was a dark volume considering everything they learned about Salem, the Relics, Ozpin, etc. Even at the beginning of Volume 7, with Ironwood paranoia and Atlas being in high alert, things weren't looking very promising. But suddenly we meet Pietro, Penny's father, and then we see Penny herself again bringing back this positive tone to the story and to the city. Because let's be honest, Mantle is a very dark city and seeing Penny like that was really a contrast in there.

So for Ruby, I'm also thinking about the many parallels and similarities between Little and Penny, who basically serve a similar role to our main character as well. This small and pure soul, only wanting to have friends and help, to protect and guide their friends along the way. Little died too under Ruby's nose, but they came back as Somewhat and we see at the V9 finale how much it brought back Ruby's spark once again. Ruby was kind to Little just like she's been kind to Penny one day, and they both played their part acting like Ruby's hope, Ruby's light. For Ruby, I kinda see Penny as a final hope restored, when everything else crumbles then maybe this could be one of the last thing that could bring the spark back again. I'd like to believe Penny could play this part during the final parts of the RWBY story and main series, I'm not really sure how or when but I see it as a climax. We got too much hints about reincarnation and returning in V9 for them to be ignored for me, and I do hope this wasn't just here for nothing or only for Ruby's character during V9.

Penny sure died wanting to choose the next Maiden, because she knew they didn't have the time for any other option. Her life was suddenly cut after we got hope again that things could actually work with Ambrosius. But Little's life was cut short too and because they're Afteran, no one really complained about the problem of balance, reincarnation. But if they weren't Afteran, would people react the same way ? Tbh I think so, maybe because they were a character only present this volume (maybe we could see them again someday :] ). If Penny was Afteran, would people complain about her reincarning ? If the rules of the Ever After and ascension also applied to humans, would people be mad for Penny returning ? I know that for a lot of people Penny served in her arc, people think that it's completed, but I personnally don't think that's really the case but I could talk about it in another post.

For Jaune, I don't really know specifically how her returning could "help" Jaune : I think it's also nice to remember that even if each character have a purpose in the show, they also have their own arc and lives and they can also evolve for themselves. I already gave reasons for Ruby who's the main character, for Jaune I think this could also serve a similar purpose, + Penny could become a part of team JNPR. Penny's deaths involved both Pyrrha and Jaune everytime, I think it would be nice to explore the connection and parallels between all of these characters.

As I mentioned in other posts too, I think Penny and Nora's friendship is adorable and I would love to see them interact more as a new team JNPR.

For Winter, I think that it would simply really be interesting Winter allowing herself to be more human, while Penny literally discovers her full humanity (if she's in a human body, because of the empirical experience etc). Just see them explore emotions, support each other, create deeper bonds and help people, they could discover the world and grow up together.

I'm gonna stop there for tonight and will answer other asks tomorrow, but I hope this can help to visualise my ideas for Penny's story. Not mentioning also just the fact that she's based on Pinocchio, and that Pinocchio is revived several times and even the last time when he sacrifices himself. :]

Oh, and I personally do think there's potential for Penny to be Ruby's love interest, but that's my opinion.

So... some of you may have noticed my fics have come to a screeching halt the last couple of months which is not like me and I am here to explain myself.

Babygirl, I have been preparing.

The end of this month is my 1 year anniversary of posting in this fandom, of posting any of my work online after not doing it for like fifteen fucking years and it has brought me so much incandescent joy, I decided I had to do something for it.

(I've also hit like... several milestones which is fucking insane like you all know I'm just some cranky bog witch, right??)

I have been working on my WIPs for over the last two months. All... holy mother of god... like nine of them???

Some of these have been completed, some I am still writing and some are mostly done.

So starting from my anniversary date, 23rd October, every second or third day, I'll be posting a chapter of something.

I have so much material built up this shit could go on until 2024

@hbyrde36 called it my own personal Penny00Dreadful BigBang... and yeah kinda! 😅

I wanted to do this to show just how much I love this community. Your kind words, your support, your unhinged ramblings, your obsessive love, your talent (for free??) it's all amazing it's so amazing and I wanted to explode forth with my love for it so I figured why the fuck not do this stupid idea??😅

All of these will be posted both to tumblr and AO3 so subscribe over there to keep updated or follow me here!

OH! And let me know if you wanna be tagged! If you wanna be tagged for a specific fic or for everything I'll add you, whatever you want.

You've made me so happy and so warm for the last year. The way I know if I'm having a bad day I just need to hop onto this side of tumblr and everything will be peaches and gravy again.

I love you guys so much. 😘🖤

Updated Schedule - (18th Feb 2024)

Fic list with blurbs below the cut, this will (roughly) be the order they're posted in:

Return of The King - COMPLETE

Steddie Vampire AU with a twist! Vampire Steve comes back after falling to the bats. There is two more chapters left and those chapters have been completed.

Comeuppance - COMPLETE

Dustin just wants Steve to be happy. So he tries to parent trap him with Nancy. Clearly they should be together. But Steve's heart doesn't even seem to be in it at all! How is he so bad at this? And Eddie is being less than helpful

Rookie Mistake - COMPLETE

My Steddie Established Relationship Spies AU oneshot that will have a multi-chapter prequel fic coming very soon after!

Eddie is "retired" and Steve has been injured on the job, so he's supposed to be taking it easy. How hard could a walk to the gas station be?

Before He Cheats - COMPLETE

Songfic! Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats

I literally have no excuse for this one. The rotted brainworms were behind the steering wheel with this one.

One evening, Eddie gets a call from some guy named Steve dropping the news on him that his boyfriend has been cheating on him. With this Steve person and Steve had no idea up until that day.

And Eddie rarely takes that shit lying down.

Steddievember Smut - COMPLETE

No Nut November is here! One can play however he wants. The other just has to wait for December to roll around. I have no other words to describe what this will be, it does what it says on the tin. I blame the STWG discord server. Currently we're looking at four little ficlets for this.

Cat and Mouse - COMPLETE

The Steddie Spies AU Prequel! How they got together and the extreme ups and downs their enemies/rivals to lovers journey goes through. I had so much fun with this one.

And They Were Roommates! - COMPLETE

omg they were roommates.

Steve and Eddie don't hate each other exactly. They just... tolerate each other. But one night Eddie doesn't come home for hours. Long after he's supposed to and it's not like Steve is worried or anything... he's just... concerned for a fellow human being... that's all.

Through The Valley - IN PROGRESS

Post-Apocalyptic AU. Eddie, Dustin and Nancy have a nice little community of survivors outside of Hawkins that they take care of, surviving day to day. Everyone's a little broken, missing the rest of their Party just hoping that one day they'll find each other again.

Devotion

Dungeons and Dragons AU. Steve is the golden boy of the small town of Hawkins. Harrington in name and now a Paladin with his very own oath to hunt down the Bard, the witch Eddie Munson and bring him back to justice under High Priest Henry Creel.

do you ever think about the absolute culture shock of edwin "book nerd" payne missing the most of modernism and post-modernism. cause i do. i think about that a lot.

just. think about edwin encountering The Waste Land for the first time and finding it very moving and reflects his own experiences very well, but also finding that very weird because like??? yes, the nihilism is great and all, he's never felt more Seen in his life, but he's also been to hell and what do you mean an entire generation of writers apparently just get what that feels like????

I got bored and decided to draw my Penny design for the first time in months, god I miss my little trainwreck

[bestworstcase]

gnawing on the penny 3.0 thing like a dog with a bone again (<- ozlem counterfactual edition) cause like

"even if the worst does happen, you can always reactivate her again, so maybe try not to worry so much." ruby saying this is how we learn that penny is out of lives (because she's already been deactivated and reactivated so many times that pietro doesn't have enough of his soul left to give her any more) and then v9 does this. and that coexists with the ruby/oscar setup turning on ruby's fear of and refusal to reckon honestly with oscar's mortality.

salem prayed to the gods for a miracle.

ruby took it for granted that penny could and would be brought back an infinite number of times, and by extension assumed that it wouldn't be a big deal if penny were, in effect, executed by the state for a crime she didn't commit. (what would have happened in V8 if ruby hadn't been informed otherwise? if ruby still believed penny could be reactivated, no problem, when the virus hit and penny suggested "kill me" as the solution?)

which is a fascinating contrast but not really one that reflects optimistically on ruby/penny as a romantic pairing; ruby's grief is underpinned by that devaluation of penny's life in V7. "you can always reactivate her again"—idk. it's objectifying.

i do sort of anticipate V10 touching on the possibility of rebuilding penny because salem never tried to bring ozma back, because ozma was not an object or a fairytale hero or a security blanket to her in the way that penny was to ruby and pietro. and then there's winter, who got to say goodbye (because she never treated penny like a machine) and has accepted that penny is gone forever.

The thing about "two sides of the same coin" is - you can only ever see one side.

Look: the coin is in the air. Flip, flip, flip. One face, then the other. One side up, twinkling in the light; one side down, obscured in shadow.

But at least the coin is still spinning.

At least they're still both there, almost meeting, two parts of a whole - flip, flip, flip.

But the coin was always going to land eventually.

Schedule Update

Okay so...

Burnout is hitting me real hard.

I think once I have the Roommates fic finished (before the end of the month) I'm gonna take a break. I need to replenish my spoons.

This anniversary burst posting was great and has been great. But lately it has turned into a burden more than anything and looking back on just the SHEER AMOUNT I have done over the last four-ish months, I'm surprised burnout didn't come sooner.

In the last four months I have uploaded/completed:

Return of The King fic - 14k to complete

Commuppance - 16k

Rookie Mistake - 4.5k

Before He Cheats songfic - 4.4k

Fettuccine - 16.8k

Cat and Mouse - 72k

And They Were Roommates! - estimated 16k once completed.

That's 143,700 words in four months.

That's nearly 9,000 words a week published on average.

And that's not even taking into account the things published outside of the anniversary event;

Love Is What Makes You Brave - 3.1k

I Couldn't Lose You/Stolen - 2.7k

Hozier songfic - 2.7k

The Parting Glass - 10.7k

162,900 words since 23rd October 2023 WHAT the fuck

And that's not including the lil drabbles etc that HAVEN'T been uploaded to AO3.

So I... yeah. I need a little break 😅

I'll still be writing. I'll be spending this time away writing but just writing without a looming deadline over my head, just writing for the love of it. 😊

I love you all! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
