Hey guys. Quick shop update. My Etsy account is currently suspended and I’m not entirely sure what happened. The issue occurred while I was working on a custom order so I’m hoping I just messed something up there, but until I can get this figured out, uhh. Pray for me because I’m genuinely scared I messed something up. :[

Dont really know how to properly explain it, but it's a really unsettling feeling being forced into a situation where you need to make a decision immediately, and reckon with the idea you will never be able to do something that you had no intention of doing in the first place.
But the finality of this decision being locked in and knowing that if you ever change your mind you'll never be able to go back, is really hard to process.
And I feel like I have no one I can talk about this stuff with because it's a pretty heavy subject and I dont know how to bring this topic up with anyone or that theres anyone that would help me get closure on the subject.
So I guess I'm gonna make a decision, and hope it doesnt cause me a bunch of anguish later.

Vampire in the Garden... (spoilers ahead)
It was a tragedy. And while the show was beautiful, I can't stand tragedies. 🥲
Like, I know it was unlikely and impossible but the entire time I watched for hope of happiness for the two main characters. They were the definition of found family ffs and any pain is bearable with happiness at the end of a tunnel.
But all I felt at the end was cold pain and bitter anger.
I remember finishing the show and just angrily venting to the air for an hour before breaking down into tears. Some might see that as a positive when looking at how a story impacts a person. But I don't. I can't handle tragedy and wish I'd never watched it. That is how my brain works, esp with my depression.
I'm aware tragedies happen in real life and aren't as easily avoidable, that's why I don't pursue them in fiction. The fiction I consume, I want to help me escape from the harsh realities of the world. And I wanted more than anything for Momo and Fine to emerge from their struggles victorious.
And it crushed me when they didn't.

it’s weird to think you missed your calling. I had a dream I was in the military, it’s something I wanted to do as soon as I turned 18 and nothing else. I had nothing else going for me and I just wanted to leave my parents. But I couldn’t, I got denied cause of health/mental. Now I’m 30 and I’m still thinking about it like damn I don’t know what the fuck I wanna do anymore.

I think it's ironic how much people fight to "protect" children from harm (being aware that LGBTQ+ people exist) but do something that is much more dangerous that is introducing children to religion too early on... But we all know why they do that, it's cause they know the longer you wait, the harder it is to brainwash the child into believing only your beliefs are right and everyone else is wrong
It's funny how that's the only thing that puts the children in danger in their book, right? Bullying, starvation, neglect, emotional and physical abuse and a bunch of other things suddenly don't exist anymore, the only problem is the existence of LGBTQ+, mostly trans people at the moment, in the real world where kids might see and, idk, find out there are different types of people out there? I don't actually understand the real problem here
Anyway, all I know is that my child is in far more danger around those religious extremists than they'll ever be around people who are just trying to live a happy life as their true self's without judgment or free hate, cause bad people exist everywhere in every group, you're just trying to generalize in here because it's convenient for you... When I generalize while having a conversation I'm a senseless and selfish monster but when you do it you're a hero? Fuck you, so many real problems to deal with all over the world and people keep focusing on the one thing that isn't an actual problem

I am seeing a lot of carlando fans making posts about wanting lando to "fight back" (yeah most are harmless jokes I completely understand) but what I find beautiful is that even if they are NEVER seen together during a GP weekend I just know that when it will matter they'll be the first to stand up for each other. We saw in last season how Carlos was continuously supporting lando during the championship battle when the media wanted to paint a certain picture of him and how lando always ALWAYS talked about how carlos was as good if not better than any top driver and how he deserves a good team and fighting at the front. They are each other's biggest support in this sport that's so cruel and I find it beautiful. To find someone who you can trust completely that too in an environment that encourages one to be shady and two faced is amazing. It doesn't happen everyday. So I'm happy that those two found each other.

A Necessary Post - Yang, Taiyang & Seeing Red
I debated this being a message or a note or a reblog, but ultimately this warranted an essay. Because a hatred of nuance is not even remotely the reason why Tai is critiqued as a teacher or father.
With that fact in mind, let's begin:
During RWBY Volume 4, Episode 9: Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back Taiyang has a great deal of critical feedback for Yang regarding her fighting style, personality & Semblance.
The issue is that Tai's words and advice when compared to what we saw on screen before & afterwards demonstrate he does not understand how it works or how she used it.
So here for your reading pleasure if a more or less line by line breakdown of Tai's advice and why I don't feel it holds up & more to the point, why I don't believe Yang utilized it.
Taiyang: Do you realize that you used your Semblance to win every fight after the qualifiers?
Yang rightfully points out that her using Burn is no different than anyone else using their Semblances. I would add that Yang's Semblance only serves to enhance her already present abilities with damage taken in a fight. So her not using it would be stupidly holding back extra energy for no reason.
Tai's critique also fails to register that when using her Semblance to take out FNKI, Yang specifically disrupted the ground so Neon could not skate effectively & used the boost in power to turn Flynt's own weapon against him.
I will be addressing Mercury further down but she used it effectively and intellectually here and to great effect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What's more, every other fights fighting style, weapons or both were literally built around their Semblances. Yang's threat level remains fairly consistent without her Semblance, all three of these other characters take a huge dip.
Taiyang: Because not everyone else's is basically a temper tantrum.
Ignoring that calling the manifestation of Yang's soul a temper tantrum is another in a long line if dickish things Tai says to Yang. Her Semblance literally does not work that way.
Her anger has jack and shit to do with it, this has been explained & demonstrated time and time again. Yang only gets a power boost when she's been injured, the fact she tends to be angry when using it is because being hurt sucks and she's usually in an intense fight. When the fight is going well and she still gets to use it she's not angry, as seen with a pleased smirk here:
Tumblr media
So as before, Tai's critique is bereft of any merit, Yang's Semblance does not work that way.
Taiyang: I'm serious! Once you take damage, you can dish it back twice as hard, but that doesn't make you invincible!
Cite a time Yang thought she was invincible, cite it provably that Yang thought, said or indicated that she felt she was invincible. You can't because Yang never indicated as such this is something Tai is assuming about her at best.
& no her jumping in the Nevermore's mouth is not an example because she was not using her Semblance, did not take damage, it was a very effective strategy & seemingly either part of the plan, or was so easily understood that it could be safely and reliably worked into the plan. She wasn't using her Semblance here but finding evidence of risky behavior was hard, especially with her Semblance, go figure.
Tumblr media
In fact every time Yang used her Semblance she did so only because someone landed a blow, which just happens in fights sometimes.
Taiyang: It's great when you're in a bind, but what happens if you miss? What happens if they're stronger? What then? Now you're just weak and tired!
We know what happens when Yang misses, she can swing again!
After the first blow on the Paladin she missed & needed help to catch it, her missing had zero impact on her Semblances.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As to what happens if they are stronger, um, she loses, that sometimes happens in fights. Its not something Yang can do anything about by holding back on extra strength. Not to quote Qrow but sometimes bad things happen. Other characters losing to stronger opponents don't get given this kind of diatribe's because its pointedly obvious that there was nothing to be done about it.
& on the final piece, she was very pointedly not weak and tired after using it. The only times she has been shown to be is when she was extremely low on Aura regardless in which cases not using her Semblance is a death sentence.
Tumblr media
So again, we've established Tai's critique comes from nowhere & his understanding of her Semblance is nonexistent.
Taiyang: But you gotta keep your emotions in check. Keep a level head, and think before you act. Your Semblance is a great fallback, but you can't let yourself rely on it.
This is so painfully unfair it hurts.
No other character gets this kind of shit for expressing emotions in combat. In fact we see characters expressing emotions in battle all the time. Nor has she stopped displaying emotions in combat:
Tumblr media
I already outlined how in all two of the Yang fights Tai actually witnessed she used strategy and retained excellent combat form. So again, baseless claims from Tai.
What's more, Yang primarily does use her Semblance as a fallback rather than rely on it in these fights. She only whipped it out against Mercury when he'd unleashed his seeming kill move on her and was confident he'd won.
Not using it here would be dumb and make no sense.
Tumblr media
Yang doesn't rely on it to save her, she deploys it when it makes sense to & she has the energy or the need. This is more than we see from many characters.
Taiyang: It won't always save you. Obviously.
So now he is critiquing her for a fight he didn't even witness & knows jack shit about. So let's break this down once again:
Yang has spent the last 24 hours questions her sanity.
Yang's new home (Her words) is burning down.
Yang's sister is missing in all this chaos.
Then Yang's partner gets fucking stabbed, and the guy who did it is standing between them with a sword & gun, with fire all over Grimm all around.
Anything Yang can do he can counter, she tries to go around he only has to pivot. If she tries to fire from long range she might hit Blake. She tries an earth shock wave, she launches Blake into the fire.
Tumblr media
She quite literally had no others options & zero time to try anything else because he can just shoot or stab Blake whenever he wants.
Taiyang: You definitely have your mom's stubbornness.
This, this right here is where all this is actually coming from. Tai is once again projecting Raven onto Yang despite them frankly having almost nothing in common.
With most of Yang's visible personality tells being inherited from Summer, such as the mother daughter shoulder check of V9. Thanks to chittychittyyangyang for the GIFs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or as outlined in some songs with Yang's side of the lyrics explicitly citing how she is trying to fill the Summer shaped void in their lives.
Like the smell of a rose on a summer's day, I will be there to take all your fears away.
Taiyang: Your mother was... a complicated woman. Like everybody, she had her faults, but those faults are what tore our team apart. And, it did a real number on our family.
Tai blames Raven for tearing their team apart. Save that by all accounts, barring her absence things seemed to be going fine. Qrow seemed to be present in their lives, Tai looked happy, the girls were happy & Summer at least seemed happy though we know she was covering up a lot of dread.
Keep in mind Tai is projecting Raven, the woman he blames for destroying the team and damaging the family onto his daughter who literally kept the family together after Summer died. Yang's established this, Ruby has established this, its canon.
Yang: I had to pick up the pieces. I had to keep things together. Alone. (pause) Weiss, if you have something to say, then say it. Ruby: If you thought we wouldn’t come for you, then you must’ve forgotten who raised me.
Tai was not the one holding that home or family together. Unless you think the writers are gonna randomly swerve & say both Yang & Ruby are big whiny liars for some utterly nonsensical reasons. So no, I don't take him seriously as a narrator or critique of Yang, I have no reason to.
But let's push on, because I'm not done.
Taiyang: You both act like the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is through it. (pointing at Zwei) That strength is all that matters in a fight.
Ah yes, Raven, the woman famously known for thinking the easiest way to deal with an obstacles is to tackle it head on. That's why she spent years adorning herself in a Grimm helmet that hid her eyes & raised a False Maiden to serve as her body double.
A woman so inclined to rely on her own raw strength that when she was ambushed by Salem's forces she decided to trick them into an ambush.
Then when fighting Cinder and was at a disadvantage she freezes her in place while making Cinder think she is going on the offensive leaving her to be crushed by Stalactites & also utilized mind games to distract her & deal the finishing blow... Cos she only relies on strength.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As to his final piece of advice I already address it up above, there was no way around Adam, the situation was fucked from the start.
Saying it was Yang's fault she was dismembered is no more than victim blaming, I stood by that in Volume 3 to to this day & beyond.
Taiyang: But if you just take a second look, then maybe you see... (walking toward her, stepping around Zwei) there's a way around as well.
But let's actually look at Seeing Red & if Yang listened to Tai's advice or if she not only ignored it but did the opposite of what he ordered.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let's see she goes in with open aggression & emotions, and also takes many blows rather than going 'around' them somehow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yang, as if she were 'indestructible' outright tanks a massively charged up Aura beam for the purpose of increasing her strength.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then burns through all of her Aura & Semblance energies delivering one direct blow, relying on it to save her & leaving her weak & tired.
Or in other words, she:
Yang didn't miss, but we know that isn't a real issue anyway.
Yang used her Semblance to 'win' the fight & very much did rely on it to save her.
Yang expressed anger & many other emotions in the battle & still continues to does so.
Yang willingly took huge risks that involved her being able to take tons of damage rather than go "Around" the problem.
Yang knew Adam was likely stronger given it was 2 V1 but relied on her Semblance to get her out of that bind and she was in fact left weak and tired.
This is also the first time she has done several of these things, or otherwise demonstrated these traits, such as being left weak and tired or willingly tanking big attacks rather than just being hit by surprise or due to being overwhelmed.
I don't take Tai's advice seriously because none of it was accurate or aligned with the Semblance we saw in action or had described to us.
I don't trust Tai's opinion on Yang because his take on her is explicitly informed by Raven & not the Yang we spent four & then five more volumes getting to know.
I don't take Tai's words over Yang's, Ruby's or what we see on screen because Tai is at best a secondary or minor character & a recurring theme in RWBY is the failure of older generations.
These failures are not just in the past but how they have been consistently failing the next generation as the story is being told. There is zero reason to think Tai is some magic exception to this narrative trend when much more well explored characters like Maria, Qrow, Ozpin, Ironwood, Raven, and hell, Summer Rose are not.
& that is my stance on that, thanks for tuning in!

I'm just so fucking sick of queer people being spat out by big fuckass corporations who couldn't care less that our rights and lives are being taken away just so they can make some spectacle for their own benefit
Queer people cannot be erased we're not going anywhere ANYWHERE so fuck you if you think you can push us into your fucking attic until you decide to play with us again for profit and reputation
Stop cancelling queer shows, stop pretending you can stifle us and fuck you for giving queer people hope over and over again that maybe this time you'll care
