What a happy looking bunch of Murder drones

OCs by @edibletrees2

Wanted to show you what I would draw them like in the long night arc.

[here-comes-the-moose]

Crosshair: I’m sneaking out tonight to meet with a guy, I need you to cover for me to Echo.

Omega: Sure.

Wrecker: No problem.

Hunter: Alright.

*later that night*

Echo: Where’s Crosshair?

*all responding at the same time*

Hunter: Sleeping.

Omega: Practicing.

Wrecker: Pooping.

Echo: …

Hunter: …

Omega: …

Wrecker: …

Tech from beyond the grave: …

Echo, sighing: Honestly I’m not even mad I’m just disappointed in how bad you all are at lying.

Upon seeing this poll & voting, reblogs are sincerely appreciated. Let as many people as you possible see this poll.

The 5 year anniversary of one of the BIGGEST tragedies in entertainment history deserves more recognition this time around.

Lastly, go in detail in reblogs as to why you voted for a certain character.

(This is the last time I ever do a poll on this subject.)

The Best Laid Schemes

The best laid schemes go oft astray. Poor Weiss, bet she’d been practicing lines in her head all day. And speaking of, Jaune certainly wasn’t too quick to recruit everyone else for his little trip, once he saw Weiss was onboard. Wouldn’t be surprised if he went through a line or two on the way over as well.

Even if they are now somewhat overshadowed by the immaculate story we’ve been blessed with in Volume 9, pre-Volume 9 White Knight moments are still very good. They’ll always have a place in my heart.

Some of you may have noticed me sneak in a not-so-subtle little Parks and Recreation Reference there. Love that show, and I quite like the idea of Weiss taking on a bit of a Leslie Knope edge while she tries to rebuild Atlas and Mantle, which makes Ruby Ann Perkins.

Hope you all enjoy this little comic I threw together yesterday!

[howlingday]

Ruby: (Via scroll) Hey, cutie~!

Ruby: My dad is out with Raven tonight~.

Jaune: (Via scroll) Hey there, beautiful~!

Jaune: Dragon gone, too?

Ruby: Yup! Took off to find a princess in another castle to play with.

Ruby: And I know just the princess waiting for her knight to come over~.

Jaune: ❤️

Jaune: (Blushing, Giggles)

Fate/RWBY; Remnants of Silver Chapter 1; Shining Fragments

Ruby continues to stare up at the transformed Jaune in awe, before the scene pauses like an old VHS.

Let’s rewind, shall we?

The scene and audio begin rewinding like an old VHS tape before unpausing.

Blond Haired woman(crying out to a knight in silver armor with an aqua tunic): YOU WERE MINE!!!

The scene quickly starts fast-forwarding past the scene.

WHOOPS!!! TOO FAR BACK!!!

Jaune?(eyes green and standing before a black haired girl in the middle of a green house): I’m Saber, a servant who will protect you.

The scene fast forwards again.

Still too far back! Hold on…

Ozpin(sitting before Ruby in a police interrogation room): You have silver eyes…

Almost there! Aaaand, there we go!

Ruby(slumped down in a crater in Beacon’s courtyard): Welcome to Beacon…

???(standing over her with amusement in his voice): You know?

???(as Ruby slowly gazes up to look at the blond standing over her): There are much better places to rest than in a giant hole.

Jaune(smiling as he offers Ruby a hand up): Need a hand?

A few minutes later;

Jaune(smirking at Ruby): Well, what if I called you “Crater Face”?

Ruby(crossing her arms with a pout): That explosion was an accident!

Jaune(chuckling to himself in amusement): Sure~ it was…

Jaune(holding his hands up in a placating manner as Ruby turns to pout at him): Hey, calm down, it was just a joke, okay?

Ruby(glaring at the blond): Do you see me laughing?

Jaune(shaking his head with a small smirk): Okay, okay, message received, I’m sorry.

Jaune(pointing at his chestplate): Name’s Jaune by the way. Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue.

Jaune(raising his brow in a suave manner at Ruby): The ladies love it.

Ruby(holding back a snort at the corny pick up line before raising a brow): Pfft! Do they?

Jaune(shrugging his shoulders): Eh, just give it some time.

Ruby(shaking her head in amusement): Well anyways, my name is Ruby.

Ruby(holding her hand out to Jaune): Ruby Rose.

Jaune(smiling as he accepts the hand and shakes it): Nice to meet you Ruby.

Jaune(neither of them aware of faint marks appearing on the back of Ruby’s hand): This feels like the start of a great friendship!

A few more minutes later;

Jaune(raising a brow as they enter the Beacon Auditorium): Seriously, how can a girl as small as you walk around with the weight of a scythe that big completely unbothered?

Ruby(giving him a playful pout): I’m stronger than I look, I drink milk!

Jaune(sweat-dropping at that statement): Right…

???(calling out to them): Hey Ruby! I saved you a spot!

Ruby(turning to spot her blonde sister): That’s my big sister Yang!

Ruby(turning to Jaune with a sheepish look on her face): I’m gonna go join her.

Ruby(her eyes narrowing into an angry glare): And chew her out for leaving me behind…

Jaune(shaking his head as he remembers how vindictive his own younger sisters can get): Yeah, I get that…

Ruby(giving Jaune a small smile): Catch up later?

Jaune(returning the smile): I look forward to it.

Jaune gives Ruby a wave as she turns and rushes towards her sister, before sighing to himself with a shake of his head.

Jaune(placing a hand on his waist as he sees Ruby head off into the crowd): I don’t know why…

Jaune(unaware of a redheaded girl in bronze and brown armor perking her head up and turning towards him): But I have a good feeling about her.

[thousand-winters]

Fascinated by people just getting into WTNV and asking if there is a list of episodes to listen to, omitting the "unimportant" stuff I assume.

Chill, you all. Night Vale has been ongoing for around 11 years and it's yet to show any sign that it intends to end any time soon, so you can take your time. Even if it ended soon, there is time.

Enjoy the episodes as they are. Chew on them.

WTNV does this very special thing of making the town feel alive, not every citizen gets an arc or even a spotlight, but they're constant, they're there, living their lives. Those little details, little mentions of everyone growing and continuing living as time pass make it feel so nice.

And then, one day, Night Vale surprises you, and, oh, hey, remember that one intern whose death wasn't confirmed? Well, he has come back, and if you remember him and remember what happened to him at the time, you'll be able to connect the dots of the current arc faster.

The MOST unexpected things come back. The town is alive.

Just enjoy the ride! Enjoy Cecil's voice. Enjoy listening about this friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.

Makochi Townspeople Profiles

The People Who Give Makochi Town Its Colours!

The long night arc: Part 6

@limeinaltime @edibletrees2 @stealthboy43

RECAP

N has made contact with M.O.M

They had a nice chat about why M.O.M wishes to slay thousands.

Uzi try sneaking up on M.O.M with big gun.

Now they gotta fight.

N: Finding a way to protect Uzi.

If you were wondering where N was for the short amount of time after the blast, the answer is he was experiencing a drone equivalent of a concussion.

When M.O.M. slammed her blade on the ground, the small shockwave produced was enough to send N flying through the air, and banged his head on a concrete pillar and cracked his screen. Fortunately, there wasint any major damage, thorough for a short time all N could see was static.

When N came back to his senses, he found himself laying down with has back against the concrete pillar. Still rather dazed, he looked around and quickly spotted Uzi, and turning his head to the right, he could vaguely make out M.O.M. And he was horrified to see that she seemed completely unharmed, though he wasn't really surprised.

Of course, it wouldn't be that easy to kill her.

WARNING: THREAT DETECTED

Huh?

His sensors picked up something, but what was it?

But there was no time to think. In the blink of an eye, N got on his feet and dashed his way to where Uzi stood. M.O.M was about to attack, he didnt know what his sensors picked up, maybe a slight twitch from one of M.O.Ms arms, or a sudden change in the air.

Doesn’t matter, just get to Uzi, get her before M.O.M can.

WARNING, WARNING, INCOMING!

When N reached Uzi, he quickly grabbed her and pulled her back, just in time as he felt the scythe zoom past them, the wind waving his hair and barely missing Uzi by an inch.

If he had been a second late, the blade would have sliced Uzis head right off.

“You good?” He asked Uzi.

“Y-yeah..”

“Wow, you're actually pretty fast. I'm impressed” M.O.M said.

Her words put N immediately back on alert, and he quickly put Uzi on his back.

“Your probably gonna have to hold on tight for this” He whispered, “ You got the ray gun?”

“Yeah, but it's still recharging.” She whispered back

And we still don't know when the others will get here- He thought

It could be a couple of seconds, or several minutes, and I don't know how long I can keep her occupied.

Doesn't matter, just stall, and just keep Uzi safe.

M.O.M raised on off her large blades, and N mentally ad physically prepared for whatever M.O.M did next.

Suddenly the black goo began dripping down her blade seemingly out of now where.

“Ok then N, lets see how much you can take.”

M.O.M slashed the air in front of her, and unleashed her attack.

A wave of black streaks akin to blade slashes flew in N and Uzis direction.

Immediately N began to panic

Oh Biscuts, theres so many..!

N jumped off the ground, doding the slashes that were low, but he quickly had to lower his head to avoid a slash which zoomed over him.

Right, left, left again, up, down! Ri-

N felt asearing bolt of pain feeling on his right side, and he clenched his teeth against it.

But he had no time to think about it.

Left and up again…

The wave of slashes was done, but the pain remained.

“N, your-!”

“I know..” He said though gritted teeth.

The first few seconds in the fight, and N had already lost an arm.

Uzi: Its gonna be a loooong night

The movements N had took to dodge those slashes had made Uzi dizzy, and she had been shocked to see Ns right arm had been gone and dripping oil. Fortunately, it had already begun to heal, the silver nanite beginning to repair his arm. But Uzi knew N couldnt do that forever.

“Ohhh that looks like it has to hurt..” Said M.O.M in a mocking tone.

A surge of anger shot though Uzi “OH I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU FOR THIS!” She screamed at M.O.M.

In response, M.O.M chuckled. “All right then, you're free to try.”

Uzi felt the thrust of air pass by her of N kicked off the ground, and she once again held tightly onto N.

It was blurred by how fast it and they were moving, but Uzi saw that instead of the black slashes, a long line of goo which began at one of her two smaller arms and had to be at least 60 feet long. And it ended in a scythe that had been swung in their direction.

Uzi was quick to put two and two together.

I get it now! That's how M.O.M. was able to reach me before. She's using the goo to extend her limbs and swinging her scythes like a flail.

A chill ran through Uzi

She's so strong… how are we going to kill her??

Her thinking was interrupted again as her stomach lurched when N made a quick and sudden turn to avoid the scythe which M.O.M had flung again.

M.O.M: A cat playing with cockroaches

One arm, that's all she really needed to crush them. Right now, she was just having fun.

Sure, N was dodging a majority of her scythe attack, but just by the skin of his teeth. And again, he was dodging a majority of the attacks, because every so often, wether it be cause M.O.M swung a little too hard or if N made a mistep, he would always pay the price. He would get slashed, sometimes across the cheek, across his side or chest.

He would heal of course, though it was common knowledge that disassembly drones couldn’t regenerate forever.

And this wasn't anywhere near how fast M.O.M could move.

M.O.M did find it quite chivalrous that N always made sure he was the one getting hit, and not the purple haired worker drone riding in his back. When he saw her scythe coming and knew he couldn’t avoid it, he would shift his body just a little bit so the scythe would hit him instead.

A pity, N might be able to dodge better if he didn’t have that little runt on his back.

Ah you two are struggling so hard yet you're doomed to fail. It makes me sad. All this just to protect such cockroaches…

Oh yeah. She should probably get back to the task at hand. Oh well, the two were fun while they lasted.

She then swung her arm a little harder this time, and quickly the scythe changed direction so suddenly and quickly that N nor Uzi didn’t notice.

Goodbye now.

But then that was when she heard a shrieking sound from above.

And now….

A reference to asdf movie

[starheirxero]

[rez]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway

Hope Castor can help Lunar.

Or atleast point him in the right direction.

I think Lunar is finally facing himself really.

And I understand wanting him out of the house but like- why are they surprised he ran away?

Thats like what Lunar does? He ran for months after he died, him running away is par for the course. And he was gone for three days because he was in jail? They didn't even accept that, they just got mad at him for running. As if Monty hadn't actually decided he was gonna kill Lulu.

Like Lunar would probably be dead if he'd stayed, or atleast injured.

'We do still love you and youre still our little brother'

-They say as they irepibly damage any and all trust Lunar had in them at the moment and in the future.

Moon I understand you want him to actually face consequences but there's no going back from this!

Lunar will never trust you, or anyone else in this family, again.

Castor pleasepleaseplease be the one who finds him.

Ohhh how I want to see more Pollux and Castor interactions bc as I said in another ask that idk if you received Cas almost seems to be avoiding talking to her specifically about Lulu.

That or Lunar gets kidnapped again.

More specifically by the creator so gem (or even just Cas) have to save him

But with Gemini separate there's also the possibility rez or someone else targets one of the twins while the other is away so thatd be neat.

ALL OF THIS NODNODNOD!!!!!!

I think Castor choosing to help Lunar while Pollux doesn't would be really interesting from a Gemini perspective. They're the twins, they make up one astral, one constellation together. If they truly become divided over this, I would be deeply fascinated to see where it goes from there since we got so used to seeing them as Gemini—a collective entity—rather than themselves.

And YEAH LIKE. Listen. I know that to the family, because they don't actually have the full picture, it looks like Lunar is just a loose canon that attacked Earth in a fit and then dipped. But also LUNAR TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY WERE IN LITERALLY INCAPABLE OF RETURNING SOONER BC THEY WERE JAILED AND THEN REZ PUT THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE. AND MOON JUST WENT "I DON'T CARE." LIKE CMON 😭 "why were you gone for 3 days" "i was jailed and then left in russia" "whatever i dont care" MOON WHEN I GET YOU.......

THE "I LOVE YOUS" BETWEEN IT ALL YEAH.

I'm sorry but no amount of "you are family and we love you" is going to lessen the blow of "you have basically been squatting in my house (that i invited you into and you've been paying rent for) and you're a danger to this entire family so I want you to never speak or get near any of us until you sort yourself out." ESPECIALLY WHEN MOON SAID "YOU'RE LUCKY I EVEN STILL CONSIDER YOU FAMILY" LIKE I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S WILD. Again, I understand Moon in this situation. That does not mean I don't think he wasn't insanely rude LMAO 😭

Exactly like you said, Moon cannot undo this. Lunar has always looked up to old Moon and so I cannot imagine how much more it hurts coming from him. I honestly can't imagine a clear future where Lunar is going to feel safe amongst their own family again, knowing that they all viewed them as dangerous enough to be kicked out. Honestly, I'm half expecting this to end up as "Lunar lives independently and then realizes they actually feel better not living around their family and that they were kinda awful for them on accident" HDKSHDJS

YEA MORE CASTOR N POLLUX INTERACTIONS WOULD BE GREAT...... Yesyes I have received ur other ask and I'm actually gunna answer it after this one but GHOD yeah. Seeing them disagree abt smth is so interesting and I need more of it....... If one twin is hurt tho,,,,,,, ouhg. The Angst........

[fantasyismyonlyrealescape]

Okayyyy—. But let’s be real for a minute!

I get it, Seth doesn’t want to get involved in War Games. He doesn’t want to team with Roman because of their history in the Shield together and how he sacrificed his knees and the WHC at Mania to bring Roman down.

But… Roman is in part the monster that Seth created.

Roman has a lot of healing to do. He has a lot to do in order to be a better person.

Who better to start that process than Seth? Or, who better to start that process with than with Seth?

Seth Rollins created the monster that is Roman Reigns.

Full circle moment would be Seth helping Roman, showing Roman that he is not beyond redemption. That he never will be. Full circle moment would be Roman forgiving Seth for all he’s done.

Both Seth and Roman could heal from this.

This is the long term storytelling that we need, TRIPS.

Make. It. Happen.

[howlingday]

nother crack idea for jaune's exes: artoria pendragon has come to beacon to bring back her love to the safety of their little village! she knows jaune's dream is to be a hero but between his father giving him no training and him not getting into a combat school she worries about him, the only solution is to bring him back home for her to train in safety until he's ready! NO THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER WANTING TO EAT HIS COOKING! SHE'S DOING THIS FOR NOBLE REASONS!

"I SEEK THE HAND OF JAUNE ARC!"

The classroom had gone hush with the sudden announcement of the young, blonde woman in armor. The target of this stranger had a mixture of reactions, including the reddening of his cheeks and the swiftness of his hand to his face. The woman made her way down the steps to where Jaune was sitting.

"Jaune, I command you to return home at once!"

"Please, no..." Jaune groaned.

"Excuse me, young lady, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait until class is over to-"

"BE SEATED!" Professor Port responded to this decree by immediately sitting at his desk. "It is rude to interrupt the royal business of a king."

"Aren't you a girl, though?" Cardin asked, brow raised at the intruder.

"BE STILL!" A roar proclamation erupted, forcing Cardin to fall backwards, mouth held shut. "Jaune, I command-"

"I refuse." Jaune said, knocking the woman off-guard. "Also, I'm attending Beacon."

"Jaune, who is this?" Pyrrha asked, confused by the casual way Jaune spoke to the stranger after watching her emasculate both Professor Port and Cardin Winchester. As annoying as it was, both were two of the most masculine people in the room, yet the woman shut them both down, only thrown off her high horse by the response of her team leader. "Do you know her?"

"Yeah." Jaune nodded. "She's my ex." Gasps resounded throughout the classroom. "Why is everyone so surprised?"

"Because it's you?" Weiss answered.

"Because she's so scary!" Ruby replied, putting up her hands in and waving them in defense when the woman glared at her. "Uh, not scary in a bad way!"

"What other way is scary supposed to be taken?" Blake asked.

"Er, when- when you say ex, do you mean ex-friend, or ex-lab partner, or ex-"

"Girlfriend." The woman answered. "And I refuse your claim."

"You said you were fine when we broke up." Jaune clarified. "You even said that you were thinking about travelling around a bit, too."

"Yes, and I did travel around as we discussed." She held an armored hand to her heart. "I've seen many things on my journey, but all of them paled when compared to you." This brought about a coo from the classroom, taken in by the romantic statement. It seemed she genuinely cared about him.

"You got hungry for my cooking again, didn't you?" The classroom nearly fell on their face.

"N-No! Of course not!"

"Then why did you suddenly decide to come find me here at Beacon?" Jaune held up a finger. "A good king doesn't lie to their people."

"Ghk!" The woman flinched. "I... You are correct. I did feel hungry for your cooking again."

"Uh-huh, I thought so."

"But regardless of my reasoning, I still intend to complete my mission!"

"If you're hungry, then just wait until class is over. It's almost lunchtime."

"No, that's not why I'm here." She dropped to one knee. "Jaune Arc, will you do me the honor of becoming Mr. Artoria Pendragon?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" The class was in shock. Partially from the proposal by Artoria, but also from the refusal of this act by not Jaune Arc, but his partner, Pyrrha Nikos. All eyes fell on her and felt the urge to shrink back from them, but when her green eyes fell to those of the woman holding Jaune's hand, such urges dispersed. "Jaune Arc is a student of Beacon Academy and the leader of Team JNPR. I refuse to allow you to strip him of him of both titles and responsibilities just so you can eat."

"And who are you to challenge the King of Knights?" Artoria asked, standing tall against her foe.

"My name is Pyrrha Nikos, the partner of Jaune Arc." Though the word held different meanings, in this instance Pyrrha's words held them in their most simplest form. Even if Pyrrha wished they meant something deeper. "And I refuse to allow you to take him away from me."
