thinking about the adam's red sclera you were talking about. if his aura is constantly trying to prevent it from getting worse, would someone with aura amp semblance like jaune be able to cure it? it wouldn't give him back his vision, but stop the chronic pain maybe?

it also gets me thinking about the fact that blake has chronic pain on her scar where he stabbed her (i cant recall where the chronic pain fact was mentioned nor implied, so i cant really tell if it's canon or fanon), which got talked about a lot back when the volume was out

In theory, I don't see why an Aura boost couldn't help cure an infection. It completely closed Weiss's injury and that was complete impalement open to the air! A true feast for bacteria. I imagine even modern doctors would struggle with a wound like that

Once again, though, we bump against the reality that a) Adam shouldn't have this infection after literal years. (6 years minimum if my math from the comics is right.) It should've either been healed or taken out to prevent more damage, and b) Auras aren't consistent throughout RWBY because the writers care more about Events than Story. In some cases, Aura will stand up to incredible amounts of force and others be shattered in a single hit, even with the same character! (Ex. Ghira in the v5 fight vs the ambush in the Adam short/Yang in pretty much any fight yet going down in a single hit from Neo in v8.) Scars are just another Event for the writers, story and logic be damned. (Seriously, how the fuck did Cinder lose both her arm and eye? I don't think the writers know. Or care.)

As for Blake's wound, that is 110% fanon. I have no idea how a stab just above the hip would lead to chronic pain. Perhaps in flashbacks or nightmares she would relive the pain, but unless there were complications with the healing (considering she was leaping on rooftops shortly after, this is not the case), that should be the only pain she gets. I can only hope someone made an ignorant mistake rather than deliberately foisting more suffering onto Blake just so Adam would look worse

I've been procrastinating on this for too long. I'm gonna do a brave thing now and watch [S] Collide and regardless of whether it'll emotionally destroy me, leave me completely ambivalent or cause any of the other infinite possible reactions I'll boot up Steam and play something and take my mind off. It's been like two months this is ridiculous

Terrifying Creature From the Depths: A Real Encounter with a Sea Monster...

[blujayonthewing]

I realized a little while ago that, thinking over my whole life, I don't think I've ever been the person to ask someone else if they want to hang out with me. Like... ever...? I've been to people's houses and they've been to mine, I've met up with people out and about, but the closest I've come to initiating those conversations has always been, like, putting an open call on facebook. And now I'm over thirty and the idea of even trying-- even with, like, my mom, or nearby irl friends who would clearly definitely be up for it-- makes me feel like throwing up

thinking abt dima introducing nate to his snakes. that is all

[echo-goes-mmm]

Okay this is kinda niche (as is all my whump tastes let's be real) but the best part of recovery arcs is "discovery"

Learning exactly how bad it was

How badly affected whumpee's mind really is

Even better if Whumpee and Caretaker have made so much progress

But some outsider demands an explanation bc to a stranger, Caretaker looks like a whumper only bc this stranger really has no idea what's going on

The sheer humiliation of having to explain to stranger in detail whumpee's trauma and why Caretaker is their guardian (is caretaker more humiliated than whumpee, who is used to flatly explaining their torture? up to you!)

And of course maybe this stranger needs to ask whumpee separately if they're safe

And whumpee is terrified trying to convince them please let me stay with Caretaker they're so kind please this is all I have, I love them

And Stranger is like. This looks soooo bad dude. What the hell

And Caretaker is like yeah. But this is the best anyone can do

And Stranger has no choice but to agree because they are so out of their depth

[transingthoseformers]

the best damn thing about this au is how it's catchphrase is practically "What have we done"

Both for the characters within the au, and us who keep adding the most fucking glorious plot twists ever.

I still feel so deeply robbed we never got to see how Amanda reacted to Michael’s mutiny conviction because honestly had I been starfleet in that situation i’d be scared of what she’d do to me.
