5 10 and 18 for the t&b asks! :D

Wheeeeee, thank you for the ask!!! 🩷🩷🩷

5. Who is your favourite villain and why

I think I'll have to go with L.L. Audun. I don't even know if I'd call him a real villain? But he was definitely an antagonist, a real, big danger to the heroes, but also a good-intentioned bro who got screwed over in the past for reasons completely independent of him. Love him, love his lore. 🩶

Honorable mention, of course, to Broody Boy Yuri, because he needs ALL the hugs. 🩵

10. Is there any character dynamics you wish we had seen more of

Well, obviously you could give me a whole other two seasons of just FireSky interacting and I'd eat it up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 😅

But I would also have loved to see more of:

Barnaby and Nathan (and Lunatic?) and how his relationship to fire affects (or doesn't) their rapport;

Pao-Lin and Nathan being the Gender Team;

Nathan and Kotetsu's chill, half-flirty friendhsip;

Antonio being wonderful and protective and caring with the kids;

Keith and Kotetsu being both foils of each other and a team of distracted disasters;

Ryan interacting with anyone because his attitude to people i just endlessly entertaining

18. Favourite (smaller) detail about one of the characters

I've answered this one for Nathan, so now I'll go with Keith! 💜

Design-wise, I adore that he's the King of Heroes but also kind of a Short King, the fact that his body is, well, still perfect, but with less anime-exaggerated proportions than the other characters, and his little imperfections, especially his constant eye-bags. (I also love that he wears Chucks, like I do!)

More in general, the constant struggle of Failure To Communicate that he carries throughout his story is very dear to me. I also adore that he paints! Everything else I love about him is too big to be considered a detail, maybe, so I'll mention a more meta one: how unrepentant the sky/air/flight theme is with him, lol. That is one of my favorite themes ever, and to have it incarnated by a character so wonderful and yet, well, down-to-earth is just beautiful, IMO. 💙

sophie and tessa friendhsip is super underrated, they are the closest, alongside sometimes charlotte but she feels more like an older figure, although great for the gifts she gave to tessa wedding, and Im sure she also payed for Sophie's, the idea of Tessa buying Sohpie spicy clothing for her wedding and taking her into a bachelorette kinda dinner is such a cute idea for a fic , maybe Charlotte goes as well but I don't see Cecily there, I think she's more of an outsider in that dynamic

I think that Tessa and Sophie have their own dynamic, tbh. Charlotte and Cecily are great, but Charlotte's more of a big sister to the others and we know that Tessa canonically calls Sophie her best friend for... well, ever. I think Charlotte is really close with Gideon, though, because he's her right-hand man both personally and professionally. So I kind of think she and Sophie have their own dynamic, too.

I don't think the TID group really has a single cohesive lifelong dynamic - I think that they're easily broken down into pairings and smaller groups, all with their own dynamics. It's not like the TMI cast where they're all an insane found family featuring 6 beautifully codependent lifelong companions. I praise this about the TMI cast, but I think the TID group's more normal. (I think the TLH group seems like a happy medium between these things, btw, with a cohesive dynamic and then smaller closer/less-close relationships between that.)

But yes, I actually love your bachelorette party idea and it's going in the Fic Idea Folder. Sophie and Tessa are amazing both individually and together.

For the ask game

Rosegarden

Whiterose

Nuts & Dults

Bumblebee

Black Sun

Ladybug

Oh wow, that’s a lot. Okay, let’s see here:

Rosegarden, White Rose, Nuts & Dolts, Black Sun, Ladybug

Don’t ship it

Why don't you ship it?: So I put all of these together because of both the same answer and they have the same reason: I like the friendships more. Now Black Sun IS an exception since I did ship it in the early days and up to at least Volume 5. That ended in Volume 6. The reason I dropped it is simple: they were clearly veering towards Bumblebee by the end of it and V 7 and 8 has only made that clearer. Canonicity doesn’t mean one has to stop shipping something, but it caused most of my interest to fizzle out and at this point any shipping interest is dead. I also mildly shipped Rosegarden and Ladybug for a bit, but that also fizzled out even more quickly. If anyone ships any of these that’s great, but I just don’t. Whiterose I never shipped and I see no signs of it becoming canon, so that’s that.

What would have made you like it? IDK. Maybe more focus on certain pairs, but Nuts & Dolts has a truckload and while I see why people ship them and if it were canon I’d be fine with it, I personally never did I’m not a huge shipper in fandoms to begin with with RvB (which for reaosns I’m no longer involved with) and Star Trek TOS/AOS (which I am VERY much still into) being the two major exceptions. But even for those it was only one or two (Grimmons and Washnut for RvB (and Griflina to a lesser extent) and any variation of the Triumvirate (Kirk, Spock, McCoy) for ST). So maybe more focus would have helped... but honestly knowing me unless it became canonical, I likely wouldn’t have shipped any of them or as was the case with a few, gotten over it.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?: I still love all of these relationships. They’re all really good, really sweet dynamics. I no longer ship Black Sun, but Sun being in Blake’s life was vital for her to stop running away and not only regain her will to face the White Fang and in turn Adam, but to face her teammates again. Nuts & Dults os so pure and beautiful and... painful considering recent events but gosh I love their friendship so much. And you have NO idea how hard I squeeled when V8 FINALLY had Ruby and Blake interactions and it was as as lovely as I had hoped. I don’t ship any of these, but I still love their dynamics so much~!

Bumblebee

Ship It

What made you ship it?: I didn’t for a VERY long time. People were insisting it was canon since V1, when they had barely interacted. People insisting that something is canon instea dof letting me have my own optnions/make my own conclusions is my biggest turn off with anything fandom related, and thus while I left the shippers be, I never got into it. Shipping Black Sun at the time was also a bit of a factor, though IDT I ever claimed it was canon (if I did I was wrong to do so). That started to change some in V5, but it wasn’t until V6 that I finally decided to accept it, amd even then I remained neutral. I needed to see if they were legit devoted to doing this... and after V8 I was convinced that yes, they are legit doing this. While I still am not a huge shipper of them and care about other stuff int he show more than them, their dynamic, the development that has gone into it in the recent years, and it being a well-developed pair with two strong female characters and it giving some positive LGBT+ rep make me happy for them and for their fans.

What are your favorite things about the ship? I like how mutually supportive of each other they are. That was a big thing in V6 and it’s been going strong ever since. They’ve both suffered. They’re both been wounded and hurt not just by Adam and life circumstances, but by each other. But they worked it out and not only became stronger and better people and teammates, but their relationship became stronger. No matter what, they can rely on each other. Plus they are still their own individual person with their own opinions, motivations, and care about other people aside form each other. For me to ship something, I have to both care about the characters involved AND have them able to have lives outside of each other. It’s why it took me a long while to ship Renora and why their development in V8 made me happy. But going back to Bumblebee, it’s a sweet dynamic and gives them that one thing that they always needed: someone who will always be there for them.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? Aside from that I don’t love it as much as others? Nothing comes to mind.

Yeah... I’m not a big shipper with RWBY. The only ones I was hardcore into was Black Sun, which why I’m not anymore I already explained, and Arkos which... well we know how THAT went. But even back then, I cared more about the friendships and team dynamics than I did the romance, and I still do. So I love all these pairs, but for the most part I prefer gen/friendhsips with them and Bumblebee is the only exception because it’s pretty clearly edging towards canon and to deny so is just silly. But it’s not a priority for me.
