#rw fallen gods

[thunder-opossum]

Hmmm...

What about KarmaFlower?

Maybe.. FishStick?

RageQuit? <- (iterators)

TrafficLights? <- (iterators)

Fallen Gods? <- (iterators (using yellow for Sliver here because there's no grey))

War Crimes

Color key - Artificer, Suns / Hunter (and / Sliver that one time), Spearmaster, Moon / Rivulet, Nsh / Saint, Pebbles <- (Made this because the War Crimes ship has 5 scugs in it lol)

-Spearmaster anon

Ooo that's a lot!

Karmaflower, not my thing. Especially with my arti. I see the appeal tho.

Fishsticks is neat! Only platonicly tho. I feel like they would both be goofy friends with moon!

Ragequit. Not a big fan of iterator ships in general but I think fp and nsh spite each other to much.

Traffic light. I like their interactions in cannon. Platonic, but they are definitely good friends.

Fallen gods I actually like this concept a lot of potential for moon to have admired sliver. Very one sided tho as I doubt SOS would know of LTTM.

War crimes, very chaotic. It has some pairings i don't like and I think it's just better as a chaotic friend group, but seems fun!!

Or maybe one person in particular is making it especially difficult.

Reccing this because once you start reading you can't stop! I don't usually read Snamione and I have no idea how I ended up here first, but I've reread it twice since! Hermione as a death eater spy's wife is amazing.

If you have any other fic recs, feel free to reblog and add them to the post!

Note that reblogs are better than replies (or likes) because reblogs help share the post around - so more people get the recs, and more people see the post and might add their own recs as well!

If you rec more than three please use a readmore under the first or so, so not to spam everyone's dash!

[spotsupstuff]

Creature of root and wire? Folks gods? I am listening

GJLKDSJLKMK there's!!! not much thought that went into those doodles, honestly! i've just been listening to a lot of folk related stuff (and thinkin of my own n irish/scottish/sailor culture) mainly cuz it's connected to The OC Lore

but some thoughts that did spawn: the iterators are dieties of nature hiding away and just wanting to be more or less left alone (with possibly some meddling from other creatures, wink wonk ancients, this would take place from the perspective of slugcats again)

Pebbles is known as The Creature of Root and Wire. he hides in the dark depths of a secluded forest of dark oak. his place is protected by twisting branches and roots that seem to come alive, attempting to either guide lost creatures away or straight up kill them (The Rot are sickly trees that no longer listen to Pebs). Pebbles himself has skin of bark and moves around thanks to a living branch his body seems to be growing out of. within the bark are mechanications and his throat is made mainly of wires and some pipes, with a mask just kind of slapped on top of that to give the illusion of a head and a face

Moon is known as the Fallen Patience. she's hidden in marshes that the elders claim weren't always there, especially since the marshes are the domain of another (Nish). only the most daring or the most idiotic make their way to her. there's stories of her either cursing or blessing passerbys with knowledge, if they stay with her a kind little while. she kind of reminds me of a kelpie

going off of some slavic folk stories i know, a lot of iteractions with them revolves around being kind and hospitable. if one brings them offering of food (bread and salt is most appreciated since in my culture that is a way to welcome your guests!!!! :D) and is nice to them, they ought to repay the favor. if given gold and one is rude with them, they are gon either curse the beggar in some Folk™ way or just strike them down right then and there

Moon's domain used to be more or less plains with shores and bushes but because of Things like in canon RW shit went down. with time her place changed into a marsh and when it did, Nish found out about her condition since he just knows whats up in his own domain. purposing a little energetic glowing dragonfly, he sent his beautiful daughter (-cough- Hunter, she's pretty to me ok -cough-) to guide and protect the dragonfly all the way to Moon. Nish himself i'm thinkin would have similar stuff going on like a vodník (waterman??? lil green man that collects souls in cups) combined with the slavic deity Živa (goddess of life and spring, život translates to life)

oh! and neurons for Moon and Pebs are fireflies and for Nish they are dragonflies!

Suns i GUESS could be something like Poludnica. a guardian being of the holiness of midday (poludnie means midday so u can see the connection!). i remember some stories about how if one would work in the fields during midday, a beautiful woman would appear in the tall grass and tempt them to come to her. once close, it'd be revealed that she's actually quite an ugly old thing and then would kill the guy cuz of course what else this is Folklore

Or is it cause you have the prettiest smile in the room doing it, oozing confidence in your wake

Capturing his heart more than he ever thought anyone could

Oof what a puppy 🥺

[convoy914]

Maybe the reason people are treating you like RW/DE is not defensiveness, but because YOU’RE ACTING LIKE THEM. I mean for god’s sake, what the fuck are you even talking about anymore? And how do you not see it? Cause you literally ARE just INVENTING reasons to be angry at this point

Frankly, you’ve fallen into the same trap so many others have: YOUR interpretation is more important than the show’s. It’s literally “that’s not what I was expecting and so that’s Bad”. All of this has become very, very RW/DE. You may not see it, but I do. I’ve seen it before, so many times. And I’m not gonna just…let it pass. The problem’s only half the show right now tbh.

[venusinmyrrh]

You should link to some of your favourite decks!

oh MAN am i excited to share with you!!!

tarot art nouveau by antonella castelli this deck is my heart and soul, my very first, my constant companion through these last eight years. it is so well loved that the box it came in has physically fallen apart. this deck can do anything i ask of it, with a grace and kindness that soothes the fears of even the most skittish clients. i fan out these cards and tell people to look at the pretty watercolors, do they look like they’re going to hurt you? and they always end up enraptured, with a bashful smile, and they say no.

rider-waite-smith deck by arthur waite & pamela coleman smith the o.g., the big one, the one on which most modern decks are based. i’m pretty sure every witch in the world knows this one, but truth be told, i didn’t connect with it until i read seventy-eight degrees of wisdom by rachel pollack, at which point this deck manifested in my life. (on god, i do not know where my copy came from, it just appeared on my desk one day out of thin air.) anyway, i mostly recommend the RWS as a companion to ms. pollack’s book, since learning it back to front will enable you to read almost any tarot deck out there.

marigold tarot by amrit brar this is the one my clients ask for most often. i have never seen a deck so powerful in its ability to draw people in. this deck fuses RWS imagery with traditional and everyday imagery from the indian subcontinent to mesmerizing effect. the dance of bones, flesh, and flowers - dying, rotting, and renewing - life, death, and gold - is done in intricate detail. (if you’ve seen the shitty horoscopes drawing series, you’ve seen some of amrit’s other work!)

dark wood tarot by abigail larson & sasha graham i want to live in an abigail larson illustration. my obsession with her work knows no bounds. this deck is aptly named because it is dark and alluring, gothic and gorgeous, and it will ruthlessly uncover your deepest, darkest secrets. it’s like asking a friend to playfully roast you and being told that your disconnect from your emotions is driving your wife away. exquisite.

normal tarot by the caretaker people ask me why it’s called the normal tarot and i say “because it’s completely normal.” i do this because i enjoy the smell of fear. sometimes, though, they’re too intrigued not to bite, and that’s when it gets fun. this is a monster of a deck, a sort-of-tarot of 99 cards: thirty major arcana (including the phases of the moon), four suits, six court cards in each suit (three knights, a lady, a queen, and a mother), and five jokers. it’s strange, it’s unsettling, it’s as impersonal as the universe; and then sometimes, like the universe, it’s startlingly kind.

penny dreadful tarot by anaïs chareyre for showtime once upon a time, this deck was cheap merch for a show that the network didn’t even particularly like. now, it’s almost impossible to find, and you don’t want to know what i paid for mine. it’s the misunderstood goth of my collection: dark, creepy looking at first, but morbidly charming and eager to help once you learn to speak its language. if you do get this deck, throw out the useless book and just use the RWS meanings, and be sure to interpret every single one of them in bad faith.

angelarium: oracle of emanations by peter mohrbacher i actually don’t read for clients with this one. this deck is deeply powerful, and illustrates angels the way i believe they truly are. i believe that if you understand it, then you feel it in your bones; and if not, any explaining that i could do would necessarily strip away the mystery - and the mystery is intrinsic to the meaning.

wishlist: the housewives tarot, the urban tarot, the prisma visions tarot, the witches tarot, open portals deck, after tarot

ozma/salem parallels pyrrha/jaune

alexkablob .  tumblr . com/post/179967541409/i-just-cannot-believe-for-years-now-ive-been

I just cannot believe

for years now I’ve been saying Arkos was classic heroic romance tropes with Pyrrha in the classical male role and Jaune in the classical female role

and this is actually true in-universe, because Pyrrha parallels Oz and Jaune parallels Salem.

Arkos is paralleling Ozpin and Salem but better and not screwing up the way they did, with Pyrrha as Ozpin and Jaune as Salem

(the multiple scenes where ozma disintegrating in the exact same fashion that pyrrha nikos had disintegrated in at the end of v3

There’s also the part where Jaune was unable to save Pyrrha  and had to struggle with a death wish (seriously jaune was borderline suicidal and some may say that was until his fight with cinder  but I think its still there )

alexkablob . tumblr . com/post/179997954479/ozmas-pyrrha-parallels-are-making-jaunes-current?is_liked_post=1

Ozma’s Pyrrha parallels are making Jaune’s current suicidal tendencies even more painful tbh

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT OZ AND SALEM WERE ACTUALLY GENDER-FLIPPED ARKOS “

I mean seriously Ozma is destroyed by the God of Light  and darkness in the same manner that Cinder destroyed Pyrrhas body

and I forgot to add about how salem was suicidal

another post on ozpin and pyrrhas parallels 

fandomsallaroundme . tumblr . com/post/180795589689/today-on-persephone-over-analyzes-everything-on

thuskindlyshescatters . tumblr . com/post/179981879313/thats-an-uh-interesting-effect-to-use-rt

and pyrrha got a scene with ozpin that paralleled ozpin and the god of light

alexkablob . tumblr . com/post/179974884724/rw-bee-legends-and-fairy-tales-scattered-in

aspiringwarriorlibrarian . tumblr . com/post/179972347584/edelblume-righteousness-n-the-quality-of#notes

Righteousness  n. the quality of being morally right or justifiable.

sunder-the-gold . tumblr . com/post/180072404979/alexkablob-so-ozpin-interrupting-the-light

So.

Ozpin interrupting the Light God to say “I’ll do it” before he fully understood what was being asked of him.

And the Light god just taking it as assent without explaining further.

Wow I guess we know now why he looked so stricken when Pyrrha did the exact same thing before he’d finished explaining.”

note and as sunder-the-gold  sid

sunder-the-gold

And then Ozpin said, “No, please, let me explain what this could do to you.”

and then he proceeded to give her time to think about it

.”  basically he saw the parallels between himself and pyrrha how  they said yes before they fully understood what was being asked of them and told her to think it over and explained what it could do to her and the way he described it sounded just  the way he described what was happening to oscar and him .

dustypotion . tumblr . com/post/179999477247/i-got-an-interesting-ask-from-an-anon-and-wanted

“ wanted to delve deeper into the idea that jaune and pyrrha are also mirrors of ozpin and salem. but here, jaune is the reflection of salem, while pyrrha is the reflection of ozpin. pyrrha was the righteous, moral, talented soldier while jaune is the grieving person that was saved, and sought vengeance for their lost love. pyrrha also stuck to a moral code, like ozpin did, while jaune and salem both used alternative, immoral methods to reach their goals. there’s also the fact that salem’s emblem looked like jaune’s AND jaune’s semblance has the same visual look of the magic that made salem immortal “

It’s kind of like “there but for the grace of gods go i” for him

so while salem never moved on and was driven to extremes  because of oz’s death jaune will move on and go into the acceptance phase and jaune will/has understand/understood the importance of life and death  

he understands that the cycle of life and death is something he needs to accept

which salem didnt understand which led to her being cursed with immortality led her to lead the kingdoms against the gods through a bit of manipulation and deceit (of telling them she stole it from the gods) which resulted in a genocide with her being alone and then jumping into the grimm pools  it had led to her being and this may be illustrated by someone on salems side like tyrian who was interested in jaune or salem herself offering a chance to join salem in exchange for bringing pyrrha back to life and jaune will refuse

for sunder-the-gold .  tumblr . com/post/179998999219/so-wait-hold-on-remind-me-again-why-arent-we

1) She didn’t care about all the other people who lost loved ones to death, she demanded to be the exception who didn’t have to deal with it.

2) She didn’t listen when the Light God tried to explain why her request was so dangerous to the precarious balance he had established with his brother, the Dark God whom he fought so hard to get to agree to not destroy everything again. She didn’t care about the cost to the world or the other people in it; she only cared about her own pain.

so jaune unlike salem will care about the other people who lost loved ones to death and understands that he has to deal with it

salems current main colors are *Black* and red while Jaune’s are *White* and Gold.

salems outfit is black  and red while jaunes colors are white and gold

plus salems based on the wicked witch of the west a fire witch who died due to water being splashed on her face which is the achilles heel of all evil witches  in her series because of the long-held belief amongst major religions that water is effective for purifying the soul and combating evil like baptisms  a christian  practice and joan of arc was a catholic saint (person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness or likeness or closeness to God)  who died on the pyre

both of them carry/carried mementos of their fallen beloved Salem carried Ozma’s cane with her And Jaune is literally wearing pyrrha But the biggest difference is Salem’s path through grief was interrupted She was on the anger/bargaining stage And was given Ozma back if only for a second

And Jaune was stuck in depression for all of vol 4 and 5 and possibly still is in a depression

rwby . wikia . com/wiki/Cold  and for jaunes song about the loss of pyrrha calling  pyrrha a hero. you can imagine Salem singing this in the memory of Ozma and it completely fits the  fandomsallaroundme . tumblr . com/post/180013095794

since both were cut short of what they thought they were promised. jaune lost his romance with pyrrha the day it began while ozma fell to illness shortly after

with the recent episode jaune come to accept pyrrhas death

red spider lily  the  flowers the red haired woman  was carrying  has a meaning of death, mourning, and/or never seeing a loved one ever again. Jaune has one on his shirt that RT sold.

and jaune looked up at a statue of pyrrha in the recent vol 6 ep  and salem in the  vol 6 opening had looked up to a statue of ozma

stanggrl . tumblr . com/post/181568396255/um-i-havent-actually-seen-anyone-point-this

and cdombined with the contrasts between jaune and oscar makes me think that while ozma got a mission from the god of light  who caused ozma to reincarnate

jaune will get a mission from the god of darkness

kali-tmblr tumblr . om/post/187663928049/the-opposites-contrasts-in-the-lives-of-jaune while ozma who has reincarnated into oscar got a mission from the god of light jaune will end up meeting the god of darkness  and it reference joan of arc getting a mission from god . joan of arc was  tried for witchcraft and god of darkness was the one who gave magic to humanity

Onions: The Ultimate Vegetable!

After I solo’d Hein a few days ago, a friend mentioned to me that taking on Apocalypse difficulty enemies on my own will be good practice for things in the future. I fought Hein mostly because I liked my relics for it, but I took this thoughts to heart. After I saw who our A++ enemies were this go around, though, I knew I wanted to solo them, if only because I wanted revenge. I remember these guys from that XII fight and the difficulty was even higher now. If I don’t get to do Orthros, fine, but I had to do this one and I had to do it on my own. 

Now, I went through quite a process today to get here. I am going to share some of that process now. If you want the tl;dr, just read the italicized portion. Once you read that, feel free to stop reading. You have the gist of my tips and strategies. If you’re interested in seeing how I got there, feel free to keep reading.

So, the biggest trick to beating these guys seems to be protecting each member from whatever debuff you fear hitting them most and taking them down fast enough. OK had a speed and power boost for everyone using his Vessel of Fate. That was the only sb he used. Now, one of the medal targets was hitting the Mandragora Prince with fire, so I packed Chain Firaga for him. One of the two targets I was most concerned about was Topstalk. Without Chain Waterga available, I settled on Waterja as his other ability.

Next was Hope. From previous fights I knew one of my two main targets was the Alraune King. I never need another character put to sleep in my life. He’s weak to Holy, but that’s not why I brought Hope. His Explosive Fist bsb’s first command, Alexander, is an aoe dispel. It’s really helpful here with how much they like to buff themselves. He has the Alexander summon as his main ability to use, but his second was Phoenix. It hit the fire damage for medals and could bring back a fallen member if need be.

Here we have the MVP, Ingus! Ingus raised party defense early with Protectga. Ingus protected his party by luring all the Ram attacks to him. Ingus took advantage of that with his Lionheart rm, which basically let him spam Oathsworn Espada. I bet he used that five times in this fight, no exaggeration. Every few rounds I had him use Tour de Force, which is a command from his bsb. It once again makes him the target of single-target attacks like Gaia Cross. Also, it stacks with Gaia Cross. Also, I had him wear Tifa’s Earrings. I think it’s the first time I ever used them, but they’re a five star accessory that raises Attack by 15 and adds moderate resistance to Stop. Esuna can heal Blind. Any basic attack can fix Confuse or Sleep. Stop, however, doesn’t get healed so easily, to I prioritized it here.

Fourth is Fran. I have a powerful dancer in Faris, but I settled on Fran’s aoe Hyper Break bsb this go around. Her one and only other job was to Blind Topstalk. Again, Stop is a problem. With it Blind, that’s no longer a problem. After that, Fran just used Wrath and her bsb and Onion Knight targeted the Mandragora Prince instead. 

The last member and the third onion on the team is Arc. He’s tired and taking a nap in the picture, but he knew the team was fine when he decided to rest up. He worked hard. His ssb was invaluable in this fight. Not only could it heal exactly when I needed it, but it also gave my party the useful Physical Blink effect. I went double healing this go around, mostly as a remnant from earlier fights, but he didn’t need it with this set up. 

RW is Sentinel Grimoire.

Aaaand done with my strategy to win. The fact that I had so much to say this time in only my strategy really shows how involved this fight is. It’s already after midnight and I need to sleep, but I want to show my process, too. So, here. Take it.

The first strategy I used was remarkably close to my last one. I was dancing around the win quite a bit here. The end result you see is actually from the second fight; the first was even closer. The third I just got hit really hard with debuffs (mainly sleep). I knew I could beat it with my first strategy, but eventually I surrendered to make a stronger team.

The first strategy I used had physical Onion Knight (not one of my better ideas) and Ingus using Tauntilate, which was one of my better ideas for a while. He countered quite a bit thanks to that. I ran Protectga on Arc instead of Curaja and Chain Firaga on Hope instead of Phoenix. 

The third fight went bad, thanks to status. Mostly Sleep. The fourth went alright, but it wasn’t a victory. The fifth was awful thanks to status. Mostly sleep. 

It was here I decided to really switch things up. If Alraune King was going to keep screwing me over with Sleep, he needed to go. Also I noted that Arc seemed to be checking out early in a number of my fights. So, I decided to craft and hone Phoenix. Not only did it hit the fire damage for medals but it also revived one party member. Then I gave Ingus Dr. Mog’s Teachings and Onion Knight Knight’s Charge, hoping that would help. Surely that would do the trick. 

When that didn’t do the trick, I brought in one of my most damaging Holy attackers, Thunder God Cid. With TGC’s help, I ran through three of them. Still, I felt a lot more struggle this time. Even though three was the highest number I had beaten, I swapped him back for Onion Knight after only one fight for this reason. This time, however, I decided to run him magically. Also, I gave Ingus Knight’s Charge back and gave him Retaliate. 

That wasn’t working, but again it was close. It was at this time when I settled to go after Squall’s Lionheart rm again. I hadn’t managed to get it yet because I couldn’t get Gunblade to drop no matter how much I tried. That meant I had to fight in a FFVIII realm. I nearly ran my stamina bar out twice before it finally dropped. Then I got Lionheart by battling in Fabul Castle. Those poor guys thought they were safe since the rw’s got a refresh button, but they were wrong.

With Lionheart finally acquired and attached to Ingus, I was finally ready. I replaced Retaliate with Protectga on Ingus and decided to not use Secrets of Sasune to counter. Ingus let those little vegetables Ram into him over and over, fueling his Lionheart and sb. Like I said, he could basically spam Oathsworn Espada. 

So there it is. My process and strategies. I really hope you liked it.

Lemme talk about this volume as a whole, under the cut because, y’know, spoilers.

Under a readmore; mobile users, if you don’t like spoilers, scroll like your lives depend on it!

Honestly I feel like the best, strongest part of this volume was the development / reveal of Lie Ren and Nora’s pasts--also Blake’s parents.

I personally don’t like Yang’s “development”, and just... It felt like she overcame her obstacle way too fast. That’s just my opinion; you can say “it was off-screen she probably coped and Taiyang talked to her about it a lot” but no, that’s not how this sort of thing needs to go imo!

You need to example it! This sort of thing needs to be shown. It shouldn’t be “implied”. It’s important for it to be shown. One talk with Taiyang about how “normal is just what you make of it” isn’t the most... Y’know, helping thing.

And we can also say: “Yang’s just repressing it!”, well, RW///BY has never been the best at showing the internal workings / thoughts of a character; we’ve had a few moments like that (i.e. Ruby in The Emerald Forest, thinking about a partner--Weiss, thinking about how she’ll gain popularity with Pyrrha by her side, Yang’s nightmare, Ruby’s “dream”, Ren’s flashback when he was under the house with Nora, etc.) and this is, obviously imo something that needs to change a lil bit if they’re gonna have characters “repressing” big things like that. If they don’t wanna give us full-on thoughts, they need to give us subtle hints or something about what’s going on.

Ruby crying while writing her letter was just me, screaming: “Thank god, they let this child cry. For fuck’s sake, finally.”

Story-wise, it all mostly felt like filler, which is a super shame! Like, yes, we got more characters introduced, but for how long were they there? Did they contribute much? We know Weiss has Klein and Whitley, we know that Blake has parents, and they gave some good insight on Blake’s character and in my opinion, a little bit of development--y’know, we got to see her open up a little bit.

I also felt like Qrow was running the show when it came to plot, but he was a little more vague.

Things with Oscar sort of helped nudge a few plot-theories along, which is great, but again, as a whole, this volume felt mostly like filler towards “Current Events” in RW///BY. We got backstory, but.

This bringing in new characters and then “they’re gone” is also sort of... Tiresome to me, too. I’m hoping that we see more of Klein and Whitley in v5, even though Weiss obviously won’t be present with them.

Here’s hoping for more Tyrian, Hazel, and Arthur next volume, too. Obviously, Hazel and Arthur are coming up, but. Obviously Ghira and Kali will come up, too.

A scene that I really liked that I didn’t mention through any of this would have to be--y’know when Cinder’s training, and Emerald’s signaled to make an illusion of Ruby Rose fallen before them, so Cinder can blast her?

That was great; given by the time it took Emerald to stabilize the illusion, Emerald had probably done that a few times before this.

Another scene was, well, when Tyrian was getting ready to strike down on Ruby, Qrow racing in to save her; then that little “Hey. / “Hey...” Great, great scene, loved it.

RW///BY seems to have a habit of “raising more questions than it answers”, but honestly, I feel like this volume was the worst offender of that.

The music was, as always, wonderful, though.

Anyways, aside from this, personal favorite volumes:

1) V3; it had a lot of great action, and it drove things forward quite a bit; it changed the tone suddenly, and just got Heavy Real Fast. Not to mention Velvet’s weapon, holy shit!

2) V2; I liked the whole “Breach” thing goin’ on. That was wonderful. Not to mention Neopolitan. And the Penny “reveal”! That whole scene! !!!!

3) V1; c’mon, it’s the first volume. The trailers got me intrigued but this? This got me hooked. All because Ruby was so precious and adorable.

4) V4; sadly I just feel like this one was mediocre and just kinda... Eh. As much as I loved Tyrian, screaming “You bitch!”, and as much as I loved the Ren and Nora backstory, and Oscar himself, I just have to say that it really wasn’t a favorite.

TLDR; this volume felt like filler; not only that, but following the Old Habits, it raises even more questions than it answered. I personally wasn’t a fan of how they handled Yang’s development / overcoming her obstacles. The highlights, imo, Oscar, the Ren / Nora backstory, and Qrow.

metr0con 2019 saturday diary

cosplayed/breakfast: same as the other 2 diaries. snack: a twin kitkat.

my eyes only, buckaroo. for future me.

can i b real w u i waited until 3 am to type this n a lot (esp from panels/early in the day) is HELLA fuzzy!!! sry! ;w; also it’s like. 4 am as im typing this n im not in the mood to write a diary! recalling everything is tiring, yknow? n i need to go to bed ghh... anyway!!

we left late bc i couldnt decide who to cosplay n i arrived late :(( anyway, it hadnt been 5 minutes there when i dropped my plastic purple heart ring i had from the dentist n i was so sad :( but i went to the bn-ha panel n i dont remember a lot of it sry. i remember iida wore a giant floppy sunhat that said Sunny Vibes on it tho n momo wore a black n white striped dress w sunflowers!

After this was cafe-stuck and it was fun! everyone kept calling jade a furry n i asked nepeta if she’d ever seen Nyan Neko Sugar G!rls to which she said no n someone asked her if she’d heard of/seen nek0para n she said she’d heard of it but it was “a bit.. too Extreme/Much for me.....” and someone asked the group (vriska, jade, john, dave, nepeta, tavros, aradia) why they were doing this and they said it was equius’ and john’s (i think?) prank that got way too out of hanf bc kanaya made the outfits for reals. someone asked vriska if she was a furyr cuz she had a spidersona and throughout the panel vriska and tavros kept talking abt how vriska took away his legs/him not having any. i asked the aradia n vriska if they’d work good together to make a good hall0ween themed cafe if this cafe were real n they were like “what’s hall0ween?” n the others told them it was a holiday that had candy n dead bodies n stuff! n someone asked abt who has the least human rights or just rights in general n john was like “jade u dont rights, ur an animal” n jade was like “trans rights”.

i decided to skip the d-dlc panel bc i didnt rly wanna write poetry cuz i do that at home n i dont rly care abt theories n discussing stuff like that so! i went walking around the dealers room n stuff. my crown actually came off at this time n i remember feeling like my crown had fallen off bc i thought i heard the mini whoosh it makes when it falls down but when i looked behind me, it wasnt there so i checked the aisles nearby n it wasnt there so i assumed someone had snatched it off my head but after a lot of walking, i found it half-underneath a con table w black tablecloth?? so i picked it up n went to the cosplay help desk and the guy safety-pinned it to my wig so i was all good to go!!

after that, i tried to look around to see if i could find any ens-tars cosplayers bc the meerup but i didnt see any so i was like oh well whatever im going to the LL panel anyway. so i went to the aki hana panel n i have videos of it! so im not rly gonna talk abt it. they played kings game there tho and “who’s most likely”! they said “who’d like an!mal crossing the best” n my immediate thought was rin so i raised my hand but the answer they had thought of was kotori, which actually makes much more sense haha. they said my answer was valid tho. i still got candy for answering! anyway the punk set ruby next to me ended up being the hifumi from yesterday that gave me the flower tin n they said it was nice to see me again n i said i wasnt able to go to the ES meetup bc i was only told when it was, not where it was, n they said that Eri/Eli (?) 9im guessing that was the host of the meetup) had to cancel it n i went oh. at the end of the panel i received a kotori pic! also a girl dressed up as a witch complimented my tsukasa outfit n i knelt down n said “thank you, princess” or smth i was like “i had a ring that i was gonna use to like. pretend to give to pretty girls but.. i lost it” n they seemed flattered but we parted ways!

after this was the aqours panel n the hanamaru did a dance n the you also did one but then they started playing the p0cky game n Headphones n i got kind of bored so i left n i heard “tsukasa!” n it was the jakurai from yesterday (that told me abt the meetup) dressed as mao in a yukata w their friend as oni ritsu n they looked so good! the jakumao apologized saying the meetup was cancelled. i think we talked for a sec then i went to go check out the rw-by q n a n it was a whole lot of roasting from the audience haha bc they did questions one at a time (ex: questions for yang, now questions for blake...) n i asked yang how she gets her hair so nice n she went “...nice?” w an unbelieving laugh/tone then they moved on n i was confused but oh well! they asked summer how she felt abt sloppy seconds bc taiyang n how taiyang’d feel abt a 3rd wife n nora got asked how many pancakes she could eat at a time n she was like “how much time do ya have?” n after the qna they started playing a weird game n it was rly boring so i left but the panel was almost over anyway. 

after i left i ran into a ramuda n they recognized me as tsukasa n they’re into ES n they said they hadnt watched the anime yet n they were surprised to see valkyrie in it bc they thought they werent gonna b but they said they hope the anime doesnt butcher shhu bc they like shu n know a lot of ppl hate shu n stuff. we talked abt the ES cosplayers at the con for a bit n i told them abt the ritsu+mao cosplayers n we had anice time talking n they said they rly liked rabits n i was like oh dude me too!! “i havent met anyone who hates ryu-seitai. like, Good.” n they were like “how could you hate ryu-seitai, they all wanna b nice n make friends” n i was like “yea mayb except midori” there was more but yea! i also ran into the witch girl n her friend from earlier bc they went “tsukasa!!!” n her friend (cosplayin smth from hn-k) showed me they had/got a leo plush n i was like “OH MY GOD. HE’S FINALLY BEEN FOUND!! HOLD ON CAN WE HAV A PIC W IT” so we took a pic of the leo plush beside my “where is leo??” sign like!! hell yea! n i was like “leo needs to pay child support. he’s evading his taxes. tax fraud” or smth around this point i think. at some point, on the escalators, i noticed a juto n a samatoki but when they got off the scalator they were heading for the exit so i couldnt rly ask for their pic so i decided to try n find em later.

then i went to the bn-ha panel but it was full to the BRIM but i made the mistake of sliding into the middle of an empty row for a good seat but the prson sat in front of me had big poofy hair so i couldnt see like half of the characters n ppl filld all the seats to my left n right so i couldnt leave. i was rly bored n trapped so i went on my ipad for almost all of thepanel n read part of a chiana/zu fic n stuff until the girl w the big hair left then i focused a Little more on the panel but i was still bored so wehn i noticed the ppl to my right all leave except the one guy next to me, i left the panel. i was sad bc at the time of that panel, there was a DR murder mystery panel that i couldve tried to attend instead but i was trapped so i couldnt :((

after that i decided to wander around for a bit before idolfest but when i went in at 5 pm, i 4got just how small that room was n how few chairs it had, n there were ppl standing against the walls so i leaned my sign against the right of the double doors BUT I LOOKED AHEAD N THERE WAS!! A HYPM!C PERFORMANCE STARTING TO HAPPEN!! DIVISION RAP ANTHEM WAS STARTING UP N MTR WAS ON THE STAGE!! but there were tall ppl standing in front of me n i was crowded against the back so i raised my ipad way above my head n started recording n watched them thru my ipad util someone opened the right door n i had to scramble tog rab my sign n lean it against me somehow n it made my fildiming falter but!! god i was just so exciting bc i wasnt expecting A HYPM!C PERFOAMNCE!! they did so good too ;w; after that, it was a solo hanayo perfoamnce then 3 songs from a non-anime-specific idol group that did 3 voca songs (one of which was LUVVVORATORY!!) n another non-anime dol group that did kpop songs (they were rly pretty n good) n then a you solo then a you/hane duet! ALSO during the hypm!cperformance, te juto n sama n a gentaro were dancing in front of me n right after the perfoamcne, a BB group opened the door but realized they missed the hypm!c performance n left n i decided to try n find em later too. 

after the last performance, there was still time, so a samus came over to me n asked to take a pic of my sign n they said they like ens-tars too n they said they cosplay tsukasa too n they ran a panel as him back in georgia n we talked abt best boys n i showed them all the keychains on my bag n when i pointed at mika n said 2nd best boy they went “:o me too!” n there was a lot more said but we went on talking for a while abt ens-tars n they showed me pics of the tori n arashi cosplayers that day they saw. 

after that i just walked around for like 45 minutes until the samus saw me again n waved me over so i was talking w them n they were apparently drinking alcohol despite being 18 n their friend was 23 n we were just talking abt stuff n i noticed a trigger group on the escalator n we called out to them n i took their picture n samus was like “dude it’s so cool that ur into id0lish7 too” n then we kept talking n at one point the samus was like “tsukasa i luv u” n made a lil finger heart n i tried 2 make one but my hands were kinda full but i managed to make one! they also said earlier today, they saw a sasuke cosplayer getting arrested n they took a pic of it for their snapchat lmao n it was them in front of a cop car n they said the person said “dont touch me!!” to the cop. the friend w samus said the only idols he knows were the combie one n that saki was def best girl hands down like, its a fact n i was like “ur right. it not even a hot take, its the Facts.” anyway then i wnted to walka round a bit more so i did n at like. 7:10 i decided “why not go near the photosoot area n registration to see more cosplayers that r there bc ive just been walking repetitive loops around the dealers room entrance n the con floor so! there could b some new cosplayers there! n lo n behold i found a tenn n ryuu that i had seen briefly earlier! n took their pic! then less than a few ftaway, i tried to walk past some ppl but there was a bag in the way so i stepped over it (like, not on it, i mean. like, Over, to avoid it) but i noticed it was an MTC itabag n the person next to it had bunny ears n it!! was the juto n sama i was looking for! so i took their pic n was talking abt how cool it is to see more hypm!c cosplayers here this yr until some guy came up n started telling the samatoki they looked like kaworu n they mistook them for kaworu n they said they didnt kno who i was supposed to b but i looked nice (iirc?) so i left n near the prop check table, I SAW THE BB BOYS! so i ran up to them n asked for a picture n then i started talking abt the hypm!c thing n there being so many this yr when there were none last yr n the jiro was like “aa ur tsukasa” n we started talking abt ES a lil bit n the anime then i complimented their ritsu+mao plushies on their bag n left!

after that i just roamed the halls until 8 pm. then the v0ltron panel! keith n lance hd like, a roasting rivalry going on n keith was like “i keep getting bullied! i dont deserve this!” n i kept askiing questions. me, a green ranger, a dave, n the dave’s friend were mainly the ones asking questions lmao. anyway keithd b like “lance dont touch me oh ew” and i asked keith what his fav anime was since he said he was a weeb n he said blue ex0rcist n i asked keith if hed seen LL (bc LL cosplayers were dancing to the music outside the panel room n i heard it) n lance was like “oh yea, he knows all the dances. he does them in his room” n keith denied it n at one point, i was like “since keith n lance share one braincell, who has it the most” n they said keith. the bonding moment was also mentioned a lot and alluras death n how lance can get much more “game” than keith (like, ladies. sorry im tired they might hav used another term) and an amami in the audience told lance to fortnite dance with him aftr thelance fortnite danced n!! just. a lot happened. it was a very casual-ish panel imo. haha.

after that i 4got that the bn-ha panel was at 10 not 9 so i just decided to wander then hit up the dance floor for most of the duration n i spotted the juto n sama n a nurse ramuda that i remember the samus talking abt n also someone who looked like the arashi the samus showed me but in an ali!ce madeness returns dress  o i asked the ramuda for a pic and then started dancing and the juto got into one of the dance circles n just started going hard as HELL n i was just dancing in the area they were near n out of the corner of my eye i’d see juto just absolutely KILLING IT w their dance moves bc they were dancing in front of their friends (occasionally w samatoki or posing w them) n i was just jamming out n during a slow song i pulled up a pic of chiaki on my ipad n started slowdancing w my ipad n the girl near me was like “that’s a Mood” n i think i heard the possibly-arashi n the others laugh a bit bc i was slow-dancing w “chiaki’ haha but god the dance floor was WILD! there was a guy w a saxophone at some point playing along w the music then a guy w a guitar! n we yelled lyrice to dont stop believing n stuff.

the the bn-ha panel! ...i was bored. most of the time i put tape on my leo sign and looked up wigs on ebay n stuff n sometimes i couldnt hear v well bc i sat near the back. they started up like, truth or dare but w a beach ball to decide who got to ask the dare or w/e? but i noticed a gentaro in the back of the room so i was like “ill just wait until the end of the panel then ask for their picture” then trivia started n they eventually asked what episode dabi appeared in n i was thinking “ep 7 of the most recent season” n some guy guessed that (he was the only one who fuessed) but the izuku n katsuki looked at their paper n i heard them mutter “episode 31″ so after somebody guessed ep 42 n the panelists said ‘”guess between 30-42--” i said ep 31 n went up n got a pack of aiw stickers but i shoulve taken the superhero shirt tbh. aftr that i decided to leave n asked the gentaro for a pic n they were one of the ryuus earlier they said n also a jakuarai from yesterday! they were like “oh! ur the tsukasa i keep seeing/running into!” n i was like “oh! hi!”

idk what convo this was in but someone was like “do u like how they did anzu?” n i was like “oh she’s so cute they rly said Fuck Anzu Haters” n they agreed.

jaune will get a scene with salem that parallels    the scene with  salem and the god of darkness

and/or one with the oz that has parallels to salem and the god of light megashadowdragon . tumblr . com/post/152357996242/salem-is-jaunes-evil-counterpart/embed

ozma/salem parallels pyrrha/jaune

alexkablob .  tumblr . com/post/179967541409/i-just-cannot-believe-for-years-now-ive-been

I just cannot believe

for years now I’ve been saying Arkos was classic heroic romance tropes with Pyrrha in the classical male role and Jaune in the classical female role

and this is actually true in-universe, because Pyrrha parallels Oz and Jaune parallels Salem.

Arkos is paralleling Ozpin and Salem but better and not screwing up the way they did, with Pyrrha as Ozpin and Jaune as Salem

(the multiple scenes where ozma disintegrating in the exact same fashion that pyrrha nikos had disintegrated in at the end of v3

There’s also the part where Jaune was unable to save Pyrrha  and had to struggle with a death wish (seriously jaune was borderline suicidal and some may say that was until his fight with cinder  but I think its still there )

alexkablob . tumblr . com/post/179997954479/ozmas-pyrrha-parallels-are-making-jaunes-current?is_liked_post=1

Ozma’s Pyrrha parallels are making Jaune’s current suicidal tendencies even more painful tbh

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT OZ AND SALEM WERE ACTUALLY GENDER-FLIPPED ARKOS “

I mean seriously Ozma is destroyed by the God of Light  and darkness in the same manner that Cinder destroyed Pyrrhas body

and I forgot to add about how salem was suicidal

and pyrrha got a scene with ozpin that paralleled ozpin and the god of light

Righteousness   n. the quality of being morally right or justifiable.

sunder-the-gold . tumblr . com/post/180072404979/alexkablob-so-ozpin-interrupting-the-light

So.

Ozpin interrupting the Light God to say “I’ll do it” before he fully understood what was being asked of him.

And the Light god just taking it as assent without explaining further.

Wow I guess we know now why he looked so stricken when Pyrrha did the exact same thing before he’d finished explaining.”

note and as sunder-the-gold  sid

sunder-the-gold

And then Ozpin said, “No, please, let me explain what this could do to you.”

and then he proceeded to give her time to think about it

.”  basically he saw the parallels between himself and pyrrha how  they said yes before they fully understood what was being asked of them and told her to think it over and explained what it could do to her and the way he described it sounded just  the way he described what was happening to oscar and him .

dustypotion . tumblr . com/post/179999477247/i-got-an-interesting-ask-from-an-anon-and-wanted

“ wanted to delve deeper into the idea that jaune and pyrrha are also mirrors of ozpin and salem. but here, jaune is the reflection of salem, while pyrrha is the reflection of ozpin. pyrrha was the righteous, moral, talented soldier while jaune is the grieving person that was saved, and sought vengeance for their lost love. pyrrha also stuck to a moral code, like ozpin did, while jaune and salem both used alternative, immoral methods to reach their goals. there’s also the fact that salem’s emblem looked like jaune’s AND jaune’s semblance has the same visual look of the magic that made salem immortal “

It’s kind of like “there but for the grace of gods go i” for him

so while salem never moved on and was driven to extremes  because of oz’s death jaune will move on and go into the acceptance phase and jaune will/has understand/understood the importance of life and death  

he understands that the cycle of life and death is something he needs to accept

which salem didnt understand which led to her being cursed with immortality led her to lead the kingdoms against the gods through a bit of manipulation and deceit (of telling them she stole it from the gods) which resulted in a genocide with her being alone and then jumping into the grimm pools  it had led to her being and this may be illustrated by someone on salems side like tyrian who was interested in jaune or salem herself offering a chance to join salem in exchange for bringing pyrrha back to life and jaune will refuse

for sunder-the-gold .  tumblr . com/post/179998999219/so-wait-hold-on-remind-me-again-why-arent-we

1) She didn’t care about all the other people who lost loved ones to death, she demanded to be the exception who didn’t have to deal with it.

2) She didn’t listen when the Light God tried to explain why her request was so dangerous to the precarious balance he had established with his brother, the Dark God whom he fought so hard to get to agree to not destroy everything again. She didn’t care about the cost to the world or the other people in it; she only cared about her own pain.

so jaune unlike salem will care about the other people who lost loved ones to death and understands that he has to deal with it

salems current main colors are *Black* and red while Jaune’s are *White* and Gold.

salems outfit is black  and red while jaunes colors are white and gold

plus salems based on the wicked witch of the west a fire witch who died due to water being splashed on her face which is the achilles heel of all evil witches  in her series because of the long-held belief amongst major religions that water is effective for purifying the soul and combating evil like baptisms  a christian  practice and joan of arc was a catholic saint (person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness or likeness or closeness to God)  who died on the pyre

both of them carry/carried mementos of their fallen beloved Salem carried Ozma’s cane with her And Jaune is literally wearing pyrrha But the biggest difference is Salem’s path through grief was interrupted She was on the anger/bargaining stage And was given Ozma back if only for a second

And Jaune was stuck in depression for all of vol 4 and 5 and possibly still is in a depression

rwby . wikia . com/wiki/Cold  and for jaunes song about the loss of pyrrha calling  pyrrha a hero. you can imagine Salem singing this in the memory of Ozma and it completely fits the  fandomsallaroundme . tumblr . com/post/180013095794

since both were cut short of what they thought they were promised. jaune lost his romance with pyrrha the day it began while ozma fell to illness shortly after

with the recent episode jaune come to accept pyrrhas death

red spider lily  the  flowers the red haired woman  was carrying  has a meaning of death, mourning, and/or never seeing a loved one ever again. Jaune has one on his shirt that RT sold.

and jaune looked up at a statue of pyrrha in the recent vol 6 ep  and salem in the  vol 6 opening had looked up to a statue of ozma

stanggrl . tumblr . com/post/181568396255/um-i-havent-actually-seen-anyone-point-this

it makes me wonder if   jaune gets a scene with salem  that parallels a scene salem had with the god of darkness ( given how salem is  she is the only fit for that role)  maybe jaune ends up manipulating/deceiving salem  to get what he wants  from her which is what salem did to the god of darkness and this is also fitting for jaune to get a scene with salem that parallels salems scene with the god of darkness since pyrrha got a scene with ozma  ( who parallels her in the ozma/salem relationship) with ozma being put in the position of the god of light  in a sense.

or if we get a scene  with jaune and ozpin that parallels salems scene with the god of light given that with pyrrha ozpin was put in the position of god of light. 

where jaune will end up understanding  why oz did what he did unlike salem with the god of light. and apologize
