#rwby fic-ish

[diaryofamadsunwukongfan]

Why didn't I do this first?

Original under the cut

[reashot]

🎉🎉🎉300 Subs pre-celebration-ish 🎉🎉🎉

So seeing that I will finally reach 300 subs. (Not including the porn bots) I will be posting something as a reward for my loyal followers in the future.

Originally I'm only going to post the first chapter (10k long) of my long RWBY fic that I been wanting to make for a long time. A RWBY adventure fic featuring characters from an American classic Moby Dick. This will serve as a sequel to Ice Queendom. And also for my fic too. Back in January. So read it first if you want to know what happened beforehand. And don't forget to leave a kudos.

but I also did made promise that I'm going to post smut. I'm going to shave it into 2k-5k because I'm way too busy writing for the other stuffs. But I don't know if you all would be interested in it. So I'm just going to put it into a vote. And a second vote for the ship. If this win of course

Also I'm making a special project called Project: Konzert but it's still mostly a secret until it's released. It will not be released anytime soon you can still vote for it, this is just to see if anyone will be interested in it. It will take places in an AU and it will feature characters cameo from RWBY.

Also don't worry you will be able to read all of them in the future. You just going to decide what you will get 1st.

A look at Project: Konzert. Featuring you all know and love.

The AI images are just for visual aid. Also do be warned that all 8 of them will suffers from a terrible fate in this story. But none more so than your favorite blonde boy. Well how horrible you ask? You will see him losing everything he loves and his hope crushed until he becomes the very thing he swore to destroy. Just imagine...

[citadelofmythoughts]

Someone from the main group in RWBY get sent back into the body of their V1 self. Who has the most interesting (funny, emotional, hectic, etc.) time?

Weiss having to act prissy again.

Blake having to act stand off-ish (and not in love with Yang)

Jaune having to act weak and bumbling (and of course struggle with not telling Pyrrha anything)

Etc.

Thinking of doing a fic and wondering whether to make it light hearted or angst

Honestly, just like RWBY itself, why not both? There's certainly potential for either comedy or angst.

Honestly the two who would have the hardest time would be Blake and Weiss. They've both changed so much.

It'd really throw the rest of the team off if Blake started acting like her current light-hearted, goofy self. Yang wouldn't stand a chance.

And Weiss would just be disgusted with who she was. Even if it was largely the fault of her upbringing.

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: Set years before the main show, an orphaned little boy, enslaved among thousands in a dust mine, and a mother, tarnished by the very world around her, are unknowingly bound together by the rage brought upon by a single day of inconceivable misery; and when the two finally meet eyes, ten years later— that single instance will go on to change the world as they know it. 

Author: @uncaught-coolfish

Propaganda:

I’m going to be fully honest. This fanfiction might be one of the best I’ve ever read in general and it’s only at chapter 5 as of writing this. It is written phenomenally, first of all. While this fic is SEVERELY more mature than the source material it’s based from, it never feels too edgy or overdone to me, while also never trying to sugarcoat what these characters do go through. Speaking of the characters… wow. I don’t want to ramble too much because I highly recommend this fic but let me tell you this fic writes these characters amazingly too. Like? The author took a character from the main show who had maybe 5~ish minutes of screen time, made her one of the main characters in this fic, and WROTE ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTERS IVE SEEN IN YEARS. Yeah. I mean that too.  Everyone else is good as well, though I don’t want to spoil anything for y’all. Read. This. Fic. Though do be warned, it does go into some extremely “dark” and possibly triggering territories.  (Also, small thing: the worldbuilding is fire)

Also this scene

[RWBY short-fic, Volume 10-ish] Lend Me Your Power

"Let me speak first," Fox Alistair told Jaune Arc, as they walked briskly through the prison hall. "Since you're not Vacuan, and that might be a problem for her."

"No problem."

The guard prepared to open the door for them, but paused long enough to say, "Even if she's unarmed and has been a model prisoner, don't let your guard down. Don't let her touch you."

Jaune nodded, "Okay."

They entered the prisoner visiting room, where a single woman sat awaiting them. Neither Jaune or Fox had ever seen her before, but Fox had felt her Aura on the battlefield. Where once it had felt to him like a second, smaller sun, it now felt no appreciably more powerful than the Aura of the Huntsman standing next to him.

Fox nodded at her. "Hello, Gillian."

He heard her clothes and hair shift as she nodded back. "I'm told that you are Fox Alistair and Jaune Arc. Of Vale."

"And I'm told that you love Vacuo."

He heard Jaune and Gillian both flinch, Jaune from discomfort and Gillian from anger, but he remained impassive. "Theodore, Rumpole, and other professors tell us that you truly loved Vacuo and her people. My teammates told me how you surrendered in the end rather than pointlessly shedding Vacuan blood."

"Get to the point."

"We need your help."

She laughed. "How? You cannot mean to tell me I'll be allowed to leave here."

They said nothing. A moment passed.

Her voice was quiet. "It's really that bad, then?"

Jaune said, "The worst."

"How much of what I've heard in here is the truth?"

"I don't know," Jaune said. "But I doubt it was worse than the truth. Salem, the Maidens, an army of Grimm, giant monsters..."

"What would you have me do? I assume you want to make use of my Semblance, but if my brother and I couldn't defeat Shade Academy, how do you expect me to help you against the end of the world?"

Jaune gave her a hapless grin. "Because we're going to be helping you help us. We're all going to be helping each other."

"...Really?"

Fox answered. "You lost because you didn't have the people of Vacuo behind you. Because you and your brother worked only with those you could put beneath you."

"But this time," Jaune said, "all of Vacuo is going to be behind you, because you're going to put yourself behind Vacuo."

"That doesn't make any sense. But I suppose it doesn't matter. We really don't have a choice, do we?"

"The only choice Vacuo ever has," Fox replied. "Fight or die."

"Then what's the plan? Do you really have the citizens of the city lined up to let me drain their Aura?"

Fox said, "Sun Wukong and Velvet are ready to broadcast live to Vacuo City right now. We're just waiting on you."

"How much time do we have to prepare?"

Jaune checked the clock on his scroll. "Maybe half an hour."

"Half an hour?! How do you expect me to touch even a fraction of the city's population that quickly?!"

Fox answered with his finger pointing to his mouth... drawing her attention to the fact that his mouth didn't move. In her mind, she heard the words, [Because yours isn't the only Semblance we're basing this plan on.]

=====

Things moved rather quickly from there.

The people of the city still remembered Sun Wukong and Velvet Scarlatina from their previous broadcast; the one where they alerted the citizens to the Crown's attempted coup against Shade and the city government.

Once again, they asked the citizens for help. But this time, Sun asked them to put their Auras rather than their bodies on the line.

"If you want to help with this plan, look for my clones." He produced one for demonstration; the yellow image of himself waved to the camera with a cheeky grin. "You just have to touch one. You will feel weak when it happens, like giving blood. It will be temporary, but give only what you can. It won't help anyone if you pass out."

In his mind, Sun heard Fox's voice. [Ready?]

[You're not here yet, though?]

[We're tapping into the other prisoners here. Most are agreeing to contribute as 'community service', and we're going to want the juice.]

[Can you reach from there?]

By way of an answer, Sun felt a star ignite in his heart.

Velvet asked, "Sun, what's wrong?"

"I'll never regret how soon Yatsu broke me out, but it's really unfair that Jax put me under and I never got to have Gillian to power me up like this."

[So sorry,] he heard Gillian snark. [Hurry it up.]

"Don't rush me," he shot back, bringing his hands together as his focused his mind.

Four clones flashed into existence and began running off. Then another one. Another two. Five. Fifteen. More.

[For the record,] Gillian said. [It wouldn't have felt quite like this. We never had Jaune Arc.]

[Lucky us,] Sun retorted.

But it was true, he thought to himself. While the growing power surging within amazed him, he'd felt the effects of Jaune's amplification Semblance before, when they tested whether or not this might even work.

Gillian might be giving Sun more fuel to burn, but Jaune magnified the output. All of it communicated through Fox's telepathic connections.

"Sun?" Velvet asked again. "Are you okay? Sun?"

He'd sat down, eyes closed in meditation. He couldn't answer any more, couldn't hear any more; his mind lost amid a sea of clones. He saw through their eyes, but he'd never had so many eyes.

His clones blindly moved through Vacuo's city streets, walking paths on reflex, arms held out wide. He felt hands touching him all over, like he was submerged in water.

He could barely register the sensation of Aura flowing into him from the donating citizens. It was all he could do to keep using the rising portion of his own share to keep making more clones, and after hitting a limit, keeping the existing ones active.

=====

Elsewhere, Gillian had to sit down as well. She'd once used her Semblance to drain Aura from three people at once, from a student team that hadn't know her powers and tried to dogpile her.

Now she struggled to swallow an ocean.

She didn't need to move hundreds of legs, but in reaching through Fox, through Sun, through all of Sun's clones... it felt something like extending her pursed lips to drink water from a cup held just a little too far away, while also opening her mouth so wide that her jaw ached.

And whenever she dared to pause, she had to then metaphorically spit portions of that ocean into Fox, then through Fox into Sun, and then into whoever else Fox connected to.

She had no idea who. She didn't care. She didn't have the time or energy to care.

====

"So," Ruby asked, rocking back on her heels. "How big do you think you can make it?"

Weiss Schnee, shining like the moon in the shape of a woman, raised Myrtenaster to merely point at the sky.

But her Arma Gigas rose up to actually touch it.

=================================

back to my Fanfiction index

go to my RWBY master post

[kinaesthetiqueer]

You've more or less single-handedly altered my entire perception of Nora as a character, and I mean that in the best way possible, making me enjoy her so much more every time I rewatch RWBY (which I gotta do again at some point, but that's neither here nor there)

However! This leads to my question :3 I noticed you had a few fics about her, and that she's also a very present character in your brain space, I kinda wanna know more about Satya Vaswani (which I now know her name is!!! Which is so cool!!!) and specifically your thoughts about her, what about her appeals to you, basically sharing as much as you want to!

I had a mild overwatch phase some years ago, so I know some Basic lore, but I always love learning and hearing about people's favorite characters :3

Oki thank you byeeee!~

aksnskajdhskanjs WONDERFUL QUESTION AND THANK YOU THIS TOOK DAYS TO WRITE BUT IT WAS NICE TO BE REASSURED THAT I DO STILL LOVE HER (AND HER GIRLFRIENDS, BY PROXY).

quick psa below for anyone who follows me for overwatch; otherwise, you can skip to the blue text & read more for sym gushing

im gonna preface this by saying my knowledge of overwatch ends in about mid to late 2019, which is right around the time i finally and miserably acknowledged that i could no longer play sym in the game because i could not adjust to sym 3.0. (for context, when blizz announced her 3.0 rework in 2018, i crawled under my desk and cried; there are pictures). while i also played rein and lucio, my real joy was playing sym and once i could no longer do that, i basically stopped playing. i'm not good at fps. there's a lot going on. i scream a lot. i cannot aim. overwatch remains my first and only fps. i just couldn't handle letting my friends down as a bad support-turned-dps as i cannot aim (even though they insisted i did not let them down) plus eventually a lot of other folks stopped playing, i got busy, blizzard continued to suck ass, etc. sym 3.0 was a personal death knell for my SI in overwatch

SO the last thing i read was the bastet short story and the last new chara i cared about was baptiste. i got soured on the fandom and the shipping base and crawled out of it into a perfectly happy ot3 isolation bubble. i say all this NOT to sound unhappy about this question, but to set up for the single boundary that i MUST enforce when it comes to overwatch:

i do not want to know anything about ovw post 2019!

this may sound harsh but i don't care about overwatch lore anymore!this is simply to prevent my brain from just absolutely self-imploding. i have a clear and complete outline for the take to the skies series and i only care about that series (and the demons/witch au) and a few other things that ive written; i do not want to corrupt that. i've heard whispers about sym lore updates and im simply not engaging with that. i don't need to know nor do i want to! thank you, good night! i'm content to willingly live in denial.

you see, my satya "symmetra" vaswani lives safe and sound in my brain. blizz can't touch her.

satya vaswani, also known as symmetra to her teammates and also her enemies, is a character near and dear to my heart! i knew nothing about her until i stumbled upon the fact that she was intentionally written as autistic. this was at a time in my life where i had recently discovered i was too, in a fun (not) series of events, and so i latched on immediately, not to mention when i started playing her, i found a niche and became a rather successful sym (which to me means being helpful, getting kills, STAYING ON THE FUCKING POINT, and not getting in the way). i don't remember what my hours ended up being on her but im pretty sure it was well over 100 and since the servers are gone??? i'll never know? im not downloading ovw 2 to find out. it's probably on my old blog. GAH. im not here to be be salty about blizz.

SATYA.

satya, much like nora, is a side[ish] character that i have taken every scrap of canon lore and extrapolated to the stratosphere. i acknowledge that i have surpassed canon and inserted my own, especially when it comes to her childhood.

that being said

here's canon:

After she was identified as one of the few capable of becoming a light-bending architech, young Satya Vaswani was plucked from extreme poverty and placed in the care of Vishkar's architech academy, never to return home. Isolated and lonely in her new life, Satya immersed herself in her education and training. She quickly grasped the applications of the technology and was one of the top students in her class. Satya approached hard-light manipulation differently than her peers, with their more procedural, mechanical constructions, instead weaving her constructs in the motions of the traditional dance of her homeland.

and then i, to recap practical ghosts to some extent, made it worse. she was singled out for a scholarship by the vishkar academies who intentionally sought out young kids with high compatibility with hard light tech. she has an older brother aditya and a younger brother krishna and her mom karishma. her father died when she was three; she is, at the time of pick up, eight.

she's taken away to the fledgling vishkar town of utopaea where she atends the prestigious vishkar dawn academy boarding school. fairly quickly she takes to HL. it just makes sense to her and she loves it! never mind that she's without her support net for the first time ever. higher up staff order her teachers to excuse her 'problematic' behaviour because they don't wan to damage the prodigy in the making. her mother fights to have satya come home regularly and succeeds in making sure she gets to visit. the higher up staff even court these wishes, hoping that karishma will see the good in vishkar's training and ABA therapy but satya's mom sees her daughter's personality changes and misery and the way she talks about her autism now, the bullying she receives from both adults and students, the way she only seems to focus on architecture. she doesn't like it one bit. and after four years of this back and forth fight between vishkar execs and karishma over the 'budding jewel' of vishkar, karishma finally finds another school closer to home and begins to make moves to take satya out of vishkar academy at the end of the school year.

in response, vishkar ensures that satya has no family left to go home to. they also make sure that not only it looks like an accident but a specific architectural failure that galvanizes satya's single track minded drive to make the world a better place in which no one ever loses their family to a building collapse again. she becomes a ward of vishkar through a series of legal dominos vishkar had in place; she's only twelve. she never finds out that vishkar is the one who killed her family (except for in this little riff i did on twitter that may or may not load). ALSO funny that i named it indomitable, bc i didn't know what rwby was when i wrote that XD. anyways i have all my tweets downloaded but it's not that important.

practical ghosts is a fun narrative because it's told completely outside of satya through documents about her (with the exception of three little chapters at the end, only one of which is from her POV) it's my fave of my satya vent fics. PG is in line with on the run from tomorrow and thursday's daughter's genre of 'no one asked me to go this deep with canon plausible backstory but i did anyway!'

satya NOW though. she comes to the watchpoint, essentially surrendering her vishkar insider info in return for asylum, and proceeds to have the meltdown of a lifetime the second no eyes are on her. she throws herself into discovering how much of her life is a lie (her first comic, where she begins wondering, inspires much of this, as it obvs happens before; while i have read her 2020 comic, i don't use it at all except to smile because it did not contradict my HCs or if it did i ignored it; i was made vaguely aware against my will that she has history with LW but again, i don't care)

she's sassy, she's deadpan, she's devoted, she's practical. she loves dance and cooking and all forms of gymnastics, skating, and ribbon arts. she'll take you to task for doing stupid shit and explain how you should fix it in the same breath. she's ruthless when it comes to making other's take care of themselves. she's harder on herself than anyone else dares to be. she likes birds. she likes making new ways to stim that aren't obvious. she has reclaimed her arm and her relationship with it. she's done an absolutely stellar job of reinventing herself in the wake of everything she's done and been involved with. she's taken all of vishkar's tech and made it better and more accessible. she prefers rebuilding missions more than combat ones. she loves drinking tea with ana. mei was her first human friend outside of vishkar; athena was her first friend at the watchpoint. her and lucio actually get along fine eventually. she is fearlessly devoted to those she loves. she's an early riser and early sleeper. she still cries sometimes when she allows herself to stim unhindered. she is a huge fucking demiace lesbian. she doesn't give a fuck about gender. she wears heels so she can discretely toe-walk and dresses because they're easy to move in. she can and will talk your ear off about her special interests but only if she loves you.

NONE OF THIS IS CANON

last i checked in canon, and based on voicelines, satya hasn't even LEFT vishkar. she's just doubting. she's still there under their thumb and i mean sure yeah that's fine but that was the great of overwatch HUGE sandbox, no plot, WOMEN, and oh my gods an autistic woman of color with the most wonderful voice and voice actor ever (hi ms bhimani i hope you're having a LOVELY day)

i took to sym because i wanted a more hopeful future for myself and i am awaaaaaaaare ive projected on her very hard but i gotta admit the fact that i turn 28 (her age) this year might have actually just made me grin like an idiot because oh my god i could NOT imagine that when i first got into overwatch in early 2017. jesus fuck i was twenty, i could barely see past my own nose. i REMEMBER tho, being like heeheehoohoo one day i'll be satya's age that'll be wild. complete hypothetical. ANYWAYS

i don't think im really answering the question here.

haven't even got to my favorite fuckin head canon. i SCREAAAAAAMED SO LOUD when i realized this. fuckiing rip to my friends bc i was in game and i was playing with a skin i had just unlocked and i noticed something incredible-

satya has a prosthetic left arm. she has two skins though where she looks more like she's wearing a school uniform. i think they're called architech and utopaea? but hey. hey. hey you know what she doesn't have in those skins?

her prosthetic.

SO. my second saddest and most favorite headcanon is that as an 18th birthday gift, when satya technically became an adult and thus could leave vishkar, vishkar offered her a choice. to quote 'nothing here to run from':

Just shy of her Academy graduation ceremony, an offer was made to officially cement her place in the Vishkar Corporation. “We only offer to the best and the brightest, Satya,” Sanjay had said, grasping her left hand in his right. “Wouldn’t you love to be the perfect architech, ready to change the world at a moment’s notice?” By the time she was eighteen, Symmetra only had room for perfection.

BECAUSE YEAH

i heavily headcanon vishkar to be just as bad as talon, since they are heavily intertwined. i would not put it past them.

so yeah, heavy heavy heavy disclaimer that i love satya 'symmetra' vaswani a normal amount but due to the inherent need to extrapolate a million things from a game that initially had three rubber bands and a paper clip worth of lore for her, i humbly recognize that the version of her that i love does only live in my head. and im okay with that!!!! but i love her canon self too, otherwise i would have never gone so feral about her to write over like 100k of her being loved, growing, living and learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gods i need to write her again.

also she has the best skins in the fucking gaaaaaaame she's so pretty and i am GAY

an old volume 9 speculation fic dug up from my files, written back in 2021. one-sided-ish ladybug, and somewhat angsty about it

[spectralscathath]

Same anon from the Tyrisummer ask - are there any other rwby ships you like that aren't that well known?

Hello again, Anon! And yes, I am a very big fan of many different less popular rwby ships, because the majority of the canon ships I loathe (not you taisummer you can stay), and a lot of the commonly popular ships don't do it for me either (not you freezerburn and ladybug you can also stay).

So here's a non exhaustive list of obscure-ish rwby ships I like, which I may or may not have discussed before:

Nora/May Marigold: if Nora lived in Antares this would be endgame this is MY SHIP

Ruby/Marrow: my need to make ruby aroace vs my adoration of 'little red riding hood X the big bad wolf'-themed ships

Elm/Ironwood: I'll be dead before I stop shipping this they're so soft

Yang/Mercury: this isn't even that obscure I just need to rep my favs

Theo/Leo: I love old gay war veterans (canon theo does not exist to me I see only Old Cowboy Theo (also featured in azre btw shoutout to azre))

Marrow/Adam: I'll die on the 'childhood best friends to idealistically-opposed to lovers' hill

Tai/Oobleck: they dated.

Marcus/Neo: It's the hamster with a banana meme if the hamster was a yandere

BRIR polycule: Sisterhood of Evil WLW Huntresses (them not being the true villains of arrowfell was a cop-out)

Vernal/Weiss: the princessXbandit vibes are immaculate, this was the real butch/femme rwby ship dynamic all along

Sun/Mercury: Mercury at all times deserves a buff blonde with big tits and a bigger heart

Clover/Watts: I'll ship this just for the shipname alone (it's 'phishing' btw)

Sun/Ruby: also not obscure technically but they're so qpr that I made a playlist for them

and finally,

the one that got me vagued on fucking

UQUIZ

Clover/Robyn: I know this uqiz was talking about me specifically because it mentioned that lucky shot had a fanfic and at the time I had the only purely Lucky Shot fic up on ao3 (no qrow involved), if nothing else can be my legacy I want it to be this.☘️🏹

Soooooooooooooo………. Hazbin Hotel metas when? 8D

Hopefully soon!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Actually, I'm mainly working on more Hazbin fics atm. The stress of my job has been taking a serious toll lately (we're working on it!), so writing has been a hell of a struggle the last year, year and a half-ish. Hence why the RWBY Recaps stopped so suddenly. It's been a while since I've had the energy and mental clarity to write consistently, let alone write fiction, so I'm riding this train as long as long as it'll have me aboard.

I have done a quick theory post on Alastor's deal, some observations about his King Roach crown (with added corrections in the notes. Thanks, all 👍), and stupid deer headcanons that amuse me and probably me alone. I've got almost 2k on how Alastor relates to Charlie in my notes, but honestly the line between his persona and his genuine personality; his manipulations and his care, are so fucking convoluted I'm not sure what I actually want to say yet. I think I'm gonna let that one sit for a bit and come back to it with fresh eyes.

Honestly, if I got my shit together and finished RWBY (and isn't that a wild thought: that I now might complete the Recaps if the show doesn't get picked back up) I'd love to do a Hazbin Recap project. I'm still a newbie to the fandom so I definitely don't have the knowledge that people who have been here since the pilot have, but making general observations about an episode is always fun!

About asks: I've answered my last ask about faunus rights/bigotry in RWBY. This answer explains why. In short? I can't give a satisfactory answer about such issues.

I'm also not terribly keen on talking about Adam.

Or anything about Jaune with stuff that belongs in the bedroom. I can't quite believe I need to specify this, but here we are.

On to the purpose of this post:

I thought I'd get my tags organised so I can have links to them in a pinned post. Namely this one.

Most of what I do with this sideblog is reblog RWBY fanart, usually with Yang in it, and mostly Bumbleby. But not always.

I also sometimes post links to my own fic, so far for Bumbleby Week 2023 and 2024 (and a cursed Yorse crackfic if you really want to read that). I have other RWBY fics in progress, as yet unposted.

Sometimes there's links to recommended reading by other RWBY fic writers.

And occasionally my own posts about RWBY stuff, usually to do with Yang because she's my fav, but sometimes Blake or team RWBY as a whole. There's usually some connection to Yang though.

And a poll or two.

My main tags:

Tag game

Got tagged by @blueduckfiretruck ! Thanks for tagging me. May or may not have gotten tagged weeks ago but a lot of things happened and I may have forgotten for a second there. Finally got around to it though!

Last song: Make a move by icon for hire is playing right now

Favourite colour: Orange! Especially when it's lit up.

Last movie/show: Either Dungeon Meshi or One Piece. I decided I was going to finally commit and watch all of One Piece last june-ish. I'm on episode 691 so far! I wonder if I can manage to watch all of it within a year or not. Dungeon Meshi is also amazing! Definitely recommend that to everyone.

Next on my watchlist: the rest of One Piece and Dungeon Meshi, obviously. But I'd also really like to get caught up on RWBY again! I watched everything as it was released until volume 7. Then I stopped watching for a while when vol 8 came out because I had a bunch of projects and exams coming up that I really needed to focus on, and I just haven't found the time to catch up on everything yet (mainly because I know I won't be doing anything besides binging all of it untill I run out of episodes).

Last game: a link to the past! Managed to get that to work on my 3ds a little while back and it's been so much fun! First time playing that one.

Last book: I finished Mort by Terry Pratchett yesterday! Great book, just like all the other discworld novels. Going to start reaper man in a minute too.

Sweet/savoury/spicy? Savoury! Sweet is also good especially for desserts, but for regular food or snacks I generally prefer savoury and salty things. I don't mind spicy food, but it's not my favourite either.

Relationship status: Single. Something I complain a lot about for someone who doesn't go to events and hasn't got a single dating app. I just hope my future girlfriend runs into me on the street at some point. Or magically falls out of the sky or something? If it's gonna come down to me having to go out and be social? I'll probably be single for life.

Last thing I searched online: Not gonna count what episode of One Piece I was on because I looked that up for this, so then it'd be a recipe that uses as much milk as possible! At my work there's a bunch of milk that's gonna go bad soon so I was trying to find out what I could use it for.

Current obsession: Dungeon Meshi probably. Also Discworld. That one's ongoing but I need more people in my life to read these books so I can yell at them! They're great! So many layers! The wordplay! Just everything about these books man.

Greatest flaw: Complete inability to ask for help with anything. Ever. Which sucks a lot because sometimes I am really going through it, and I don't know how to ask someone to help me. Also sucks when you're getting overwhelmed with coursework and you don't message your professor about anything until it's too late to do anything about it. I want to get better at it, but I don't know how? Maybe I should ask someone, but yeah, that's the whole problem

Fic I'm currently reading: Not reading any fic currently. I don't read a lot of fic most of the time? And the things I'm currently reading or watching aren't really the kind of things I would read a lot of fic about?

Thanks for tagging me! this was a lot of fun to do :D. I'm gonna tag @bluehavenchaos and @riotingspectre !

Hope you have fun doing this and don't feel obligated to do it if you don't want to.

Hey Scipio I know you won’t be done with SAPR for awhile but if you did have free time what other crossovers stories would you have done with rwby?

That is a difficult one to answer since I don't actually write in that many fandoms. For the last few years MLP has been the overwhelming majority of my output. The only other things I've written are a couple of large-ish Disney Cinderella/Disney Princess fics (and obviously I wouldn't cross them Cinderella over with RWBY) and a couple of Game of Thrones fics that went nowhere and died quickly. I'm not sure that there are any stories other than MLP that I would feel confident in writing a RWBY crossover for.

[citadelofmythoughts]

Do you honestly think that a RWBY/MHA fic could work? The main reason that I’m not sure if it could would be the RWBY characters wielding weapons, but get past that and I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch.

Think a RWBY/JL style event, or RWBY characters being from another hero school would work better? Or how else would you handle it?

Honestly, yeah I think it could work. If they're imported into one universe or the other like the RWBY/JL crossovers then the weapons are less of an issue but if someone wanted to say make MHA versions of the RWBY characters, I think it'd be easily doable.

Compared to some of the weirder quirks in MHA, the RWBY semblances are downright reasonable.

Personally, if I were going to write a fic like this, it'd depend on how long I'd want it to be. For a short-ish fic I'd do the crossover thing but if I was going to write a longfic I'd probably import the characters into one universe or another. The RWBY characters being from another school could work well.

I Think I Write

I have ideas. Too many ideas for my own good. But I want and need to write. Like many I would love to have a novel or series published.

This account however will be dedicated to my fan fics mostly, my original writings and my overall progress.

I do a mix of posting and linking to my AO3 account when it comes to my fan fics. As of right now they occupy my attention so you’ll be seeing more of that for the moment.

✨Disneyland AUs✨

Hello everyone, Diamond Punk here! In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Disney company and the start of the event celebration at Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure Park, I’d like to show you all the AUs/Storylines that I have based on the park! As someone who grew up going to Disneyland, making these AUs and storylines are something I hold close and dear into my heart. Not to mention, the park’s been a huge inspiration for my AUs and fics for the longest time. With that said, I hope you guys enjoy! Feel free to reblog and share! Tag me if you guys make any content upon the AUs listed.

1. Interlinked (Original): Growing up in Tomorrowland with his sister, Eb’s always been curious about the world. Being into engineering and a local gamer has given flavor within his life. However, he’s always wondered what’s beyond his home borders. Anytime anyone asked about said boarders, it would be responded with a 'For your safety'. Eb’s never been one to push but the whole idea of being stuck upon one place has given him some annoyance. Nonetheless, he carried on with his life. He planned to graduate and become an inventor for the community with his own ideas in mind. It seemed like there was a bright future ahead of him.

Yet, everything went crashing down upon a single moment. A single decision that would change his fate. Upon that moment, a chance to explore what’s beyond opened to him. A taste of the truth urged him to take that chance. Grabbing what he could, he ran off to see what lies beyond his own world. What lies upon his own path from the moment he took that first step.

Into a series of events he was pulled into. Worlds from which he could’ve merely saw upon a dream. From each new world he fell into, the deeper he became engulfed into the truth. The reason why these worlds were divided. He wanted others to see the truth for themselves. See how the world they live in is bigger than any of us could’ve imagined. However, forces beyond his own control seek to silence him.

Into the great unknown, Eb must rise to unite the lands that which make up his home to defeat those who seek to divide him. Will he be up to the task or will his fate end in misery?

2. Wonder & Unite (RWBY/OC/Modern AU-ish)

The parks have always been a place for others to share memories with loved ones. To make memories is another reason why people decide to come into the park’s grounds. For the those who are young and the young at heart. However, there are those who visit the park as a haven to get away from reality and provide a safe environment for those who find freedom within its grounds. For anyone to the park’s gates, they each have a reason to come and a story to create.

Ever since he was young, Eb was always excited when he headed to the parks. Typically, it would be for occasional family trips but there were times that he has some ‘solo adventures’ as he describes them. Being the youngest son of Willow Schnee and James Ironwood, having a wealthy family name attached with assumptions and ‘ideals’ that Atlas is known for is something less than ideal for the young inventor’s life. He wanted freedom of individuality. The parks was the only place that he felt like it could grant him that. Every time he comes into the park, he can forget the expectations of his family and jump into being his nerdy, eccentric self. Sometimes, it’s better to be someone others may not like than loved for someone you’re not.

Coming up on a sibling visit, Ruby’s been a huge nerd when it came to franchises like Star Wars and video games like Kingdom Hearts. For the most part, anything with action and adventure was something Ruby would get hooked into. As for Yang, she’d have a similar taste but was all into the thrill. Going into the park for the weekend, Ruby was ready to spend some time with her sister. Eat snacks and go on fast rides, it’s a planned out day of fun. Yet . . . She couldn’t help but get the feeling like she’s being watched. By who or what it is, she’s unsure. Anywho, it’s probably just nerves. Why would anyone want to watch her from a distance for?

For her first time away from home, Penny couldn’t wait to visit the Disney parks. She’s always loved the classic Disney films and shared a liking towards the more fairytale side to the company. Staying at the hotel was one thing but going to the park, it was a dream come true for her. Going through the rides and meeting Disney characters, she was always on her feet. When the day came to an end, she made her way back to the hotel and rested for tomorrow’s journey. Suddenly, she woke up in the middle of the night to hear something call to her. Was it just a dream or was there something more to the park than she imagined?

Each person that comes into the park, they come in search of wonder within their lives. There’s so much that the parks can offer. Yet, something’s amiss within the park as soon as the gates close for the night. Something within the park that no one knows about. Something’s alive, seeking those who come to their search of wonder.
