#that all said though

My main takeaway, overarching plot wise, from that finale, stems from the brothers being afterans.

Like, we just saw team RWBY defeat the cat, who had powerful magic, but was just a living being who had never died and ascended before.

The brothers are just afterans, albeit with greater mastery of their magic, but they’re just living beings who (presumably) have never died and ascended before.

It’s very possible that team RWBY will defeat the brothers, causing them to return to the Ever After. But this time, Ruby has been there, and had a lasting effect on the world. Because of Ruby, through Somewhat, the brothers would have a guide.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

Note: I moved this under a read more since donations can no longer be made here. Feel free to make some to a charity of your choice though!

Did you know it used to be the Christmas goat that brought you your presents in Sweden?

To keep the spirit alive, you can officially make a donation in the name of this little crochet goat to support everyone's right to survive their pregnancy! Just go to this link and follow these steps:

Please note that this collection only remains active until 15 Dec 2024! More information about the organisers can be found at the bottom of this post.

On the right hand side/top of the linked page, you can see the current sum of donations. Below that are some options we need to fill out to make a donation of our own.

First we need to disclose whether the donation is being made by a private individual (Privatperson) or a business (Företag). I'm assuming you're a private individual, so leave the first option selected (on the left).

Next we choose the method of payment. "Swish" is a Swedish payment service that won't work for foreigners, and if you're Swedish I'm assuming you already know how it works. Foreigners, please choose the second option to pay by card (Kort).

Now for the fun bit! How much do you want to donate? The standard options are presented in Swedish krona (kr). I have put the rough exchange rates to US dollars for each option below:

50 kr ≈ $4.56 | 100 kr ≈ $9.13 | 300 kr ≈ $27.38

You can convert from your currency to Swedish krona using this tool. Just choose your own currency in the first drop-down menu ("from").

In the final field you have the option to instead enter your own amount, if you want to give less or more or in between any of the previous options. Note that the amount you enter is in Swedish krona, so look up the exchange rates so that you know how much you are giving if you choose this option!!

The final two check boxes are options that relate to the public display of your donation (see the bottom of the page). If you don't check either option, your donation amount will be visible but your name will not be.

Check the first box if you want your name to show up in the public list of donations, leave it unchecked to remain anonymous. Check the second box if you want to hide the amount you've donated, leave it unchecked to show the world your donation amount.

Finally, hit the red button to be taken to the payment page. Fulfil the payment, and be sure to double check the amount you're donating. Note that we use commas instead of dots to separate decimals in Swedish, so 50,00 kr means simply 50 kr.

And that's it! Thank you so much for your donation!! 🥳🐐

Please reblog this post so that more people will hopefully donate, or at least get to enjoy a tiny Gävlebock!

What is this charity thing?

Musikhjälpen is an annual charity event organised by the Swedish public broadcasters. Every year in December, 3 hosts are locked in a glass cage for a week and they broadcast in shifts, nonstop for 144 hours (6 days, 24 hours per day) to create an occasion for charity donations. They are visited by various music artist, celebrities, and talk to people who have special knowledge about the donation theme of the year or who organise initiatives for donations. You can watch clips of previous performances on their youtube channel here.

The event's official donations website also allows the public to set up their own "initiatives", to which donations can be made. This is what I have done! The money goes directly to the event organisers (the public broadcasters' aid agency, Radiohjälpen), who then pool all the money that is collected during the week. After the week is done they will begin portioning it out to trusted charities that are relevant to this year's theme. This year's theme is Alla har rätt att överleva sin graviditet, or in English: Everyone Has a Right to Survive Their Pregnancy.

Learn more about musikhjälpen on English Wikipedia or on Sveriges radio's website (in Swedish).

Or

If you prefer, the goat will be just as happy if you make a donation to a charity of your choice. You'll have to find links to other causes on your own though! 😊

I should probably also mention that I am in no way officially affiliated with Gävlebocken, I just crocheted a little guy and thought it would be nice to spread some constructive spirit among all the calls for arson. 😇

Okay so I may have been struggling under a miscommunication issue

[ask-rainmaker-and-witchunter]

//I know OP said Tags but I dont think the tags can contain the amount Im gonna ramble about Misty.

I feel like I should start by saying I was not exposed to Misty's bossfight by fighting her myself. I found snippets of her boss fight by watching Starkler76's kudos manger moments video. And I fell love in love with her as a character. And I think because of watching the fight and not playing it, I ended up with a much different interpretation of Misty than the fandom, that, I will admit, may be painted in some bias light because I can seem myself in Misty.

Misty has always given me the vibes of someone broken from the harsh treatment she has reserved from others and especially at COGS Inc. She always came off as tried to me, like she actively wanted to quit COGS Inc but felt she couldn't. They come off as anxious, socially awkward and I would kind argue and say borderline distrustful too. Like she wants to open up, they want to have friends, they want to connect and play games and just hang out, but after being hurt so much Misty is scared to get hurt again so she is also distrustful of those who do listen to her and actively try to reach out to her too. Like, her mercy ending, I read that as something completely different. It legit took me poking around here on tumblr to realize the majority read that as something else. I always read it as Misty at her wits end and lashing, like "Oh now you suddenly want to stop? Now you want to listen to me? How do I know you aren't going to us this against me? How will I know you aren't going to backstab me? How do I know I can trust you when my trust has already been throw in my face multiple times?"

And I feel like in the right environments or if she was given the proper chance to just escape from Cogs Inc, she would thrive so much. Lots of her dialogue I could find on the wiki.gg read as her being very welcoming and playful when given the chance. Yes some of them still read as emotional and I would kind of argue as panicky in nature? But some of them have this little sprinkle of snark or playfulness to it that I adore (the girlie straight up cracks jokes in some of their dialogue it feels like?).

But that is just how I always viewed Misty, and taking off the rose tinted bias glasses. Canon misty is written kind of well? I will admit feels a bit over the place and that may be because of clash's writing? Toontown was never known for their story so suddenly having Cogs WITH a story, emotion, proper character, it may be a challenge to write that in properly. But there are some parts of her writing that are good. Her victim complex/mentality is really interesting, given her this almost tunnel vision view on how things work. I think the very obvious loneliness Misty faces too in game sort of amps that up too. Sweetheart saw the first chance at befriending a toon and RAN with it, completely forgetting she is a cog and also the cogs are destroy the toons' homes. And again with the tunnel vision when she is shocked when the toons and Bessie defend themselves by dropping things on her or attacking. Like, miss ma'am, YOU ARE ACTIVELLY STEALING THEIR LAND??? But again, its clear Misty wants to be friends and like wants to hang out with the toons.

And, maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think a thing that makes Misty character suffer the most is: She isn't allow to grow as a character? Yes, yes Toontown isn't really, known? For story? The gist has always been "Cog bad, toon good. Kill Cog. Victory Dance", but Clash introduces more of a story with the kudos managers and more! And I think Misty being a kudos manager sort of hurts her in the end because she is stuck in remote location as a boss fight and never given the chance to leave that select area and develop as a character. They are never given the chance to grow, to learn, and to improve. Misty, in my, probably, bias opinion, has the makings of an interesting character if she was given the chance to BE more. She would be a perfect character to go rouge and help out the toons. But again, that's just my opinion lol.

As for her and William/Derrick Man and the whole stalking thing. Yeah no. I wanna say its been proven that William/Derrick Man is not a reliable source in that department? Since the claims he made were clearly proven false and in turn the company/Cogs Inc threw them out so...//shrugs

But to cut a long story short: I had a very different impression of Misty, where she is more so an awkward, low confidence but means well girl failure thanks to not doing her boss fight and instead watching it and while that said, I still do like canon Misty, just really wish she was given the chance to like grow and improve as a character!

Misty Monsoon is such a controversial character and it’s kinda wild to me.

So, what are your thoughts on Misty’s character? Do you like her? Hate her? Lmk in the tags cuz im kinda curious to see different thoughts and views on them

[noodles-and-tea]

For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.

(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)

I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently

You know, the great thing about the LOTR and Silmarillion fandoms on here is that you can ask an obscure question and get the most detailed, well researched, citations-all-included, emotionally resonant answer from an account with a name like “GollumsBigBooty” or “Orgy-of-the-Valar”.

I just realized it'll take the eng server almost a year to reach the 3D Cheka T pose model :' ) we're at book 7 part 6, and we get a new main story update every 2 to 3 months..

Anyway, do you wanna share some fun, spoiler-free shenanigans that happened in jp's server.? Just to have some crumbs to lick off the table until we get our own sandwich (my heart is empty and my soul is crying)

spoiler-free is pretty hard, especially considering. the, uhhh, particular turn that things take directly after 6. (like, the fact that the other characters are showing up probably counts on its own?) and I do think that if you can avoid getting spoiled, most of it is definitely better as a surprise! some of the genuinely best Twst moments are waiting for you. :D

if I may, however, present one of my favorite little throwaway bits with absolutely no context:
