Had an idea and wanted to pester you about it (I’m kidding, I hope I’m not actually pestering you). What if you were to write a cute snow day blurb for Stug? Set in between S3 and S4? I ask because it’s currently snowing where I’m at and just thought “dang, that’d be so cute.”

you could never pester me i loooove answering blurbs <33 now if i may pester you i changed the timeline to between seasons 2 and 3 because i couldnt resist the idea of pre-dating steve n bug playing in the snow together n being all shy n cutie ugh

enjoy !

"its snowing," steve leans your desk chair back, nearly tipping over completely as he peers out your window. "like. a lot."

theres a mound of assignments on your desk and you only spare a quick glance outside. "oh," your absent minded tone doesnt go unnoticed by steve. "thats nice."

he narrows his eyes. "i thought you loved snow."

"i do," this time more genuineness comes through your voice. you look outside again and ache when you see just how snow has fallen. "but..."

your head tilts down to the work scattered between you and steve. youre insanely behind on calculus assignments and steve has a lab report three weeks overdue and today is the first real day your injuries from demodogs and billy have healed enough to even attempt to understand what a derivative is.

jonathan is stuck at home taking care of will and promised you hed help you with the math as soon as he was able, but now, with all the snow that inevitably will block the roads, you know youre doomed.

steve sees the stress that tenses your spine and an idea pops into his head. he snatches the homework from you and is running out of your room.

"what the-?" but hes already gone, annoyingly fast when he wants to be.

you run after steve, having no other option, really, and find him and dustin rushing to put their coats on.

"shes here!" dustin screeches when he sees you. he shoves at steve, urging him to hurry up, and your mother watches fondly from the kitchen.

you push past your brother. "what is happening?"

steve zips up coat and winks at you, giving no response other than flinging the front door open and chasing dustin through the snow. theyre gone in a heartbeat, giggling like children as they fucking prance through the falling snow.

"id join them if i were you, y/n." your mom says with a slight chuckle. "steve told me to hide your homework until you were 'soaked in snowflakes'."

your jaw drops. "mom-"

"im sorry, sweet girl." she laughs at you now. "blame that handsome boy of yours and go play with your brother outside. itll be good to get some fresh air!"

"but-"

"wear a coat!"

and then your mother shuts her bedroom door, leaving you to watch steve tackle dustin into the snow as they shriek and wrestle in the slippery ground.

"my eye!" steve squeals in pain, rolling around, and dustin giggles menacingly. feeling your eyes on him, steve flings a distressed hand towards you. "y/n, help a guy out here, would ya?"

even though he cant see you, you still roll your eyes at steve. dustin echoes his own sentiments of wanting you to join. the boys plead with you over and over and youre weak to them.

sighing, you grab your heaviest coat. "if either one of you even thinks about tackling me, youre dead."

dustin salutes you. "yes, ma'am."

you help steve up. his hand is cold and his nose red and eyes shining and you cant help but giggle slightly at the sight of him. theres flecks of snow that line his brown hair and hes a delicate kind of pretty that rivals the spiral of snowflakes.

"saved me again, angel." he winks at you again, causing you to blush.

"shut up." you shove at his chest, avoiding his tender eyes. they reveal more to you than you know hes ready to admit.

steve laughs and dustin throws a snowball at your face and everything is warm and soft.

Case file #31719: [CLASSIFIED]

Race: Human

Nationality: Unknown

Ethnicity: Unknown

Weapon: A glass bow that can break in half to form dual short swords.

Gender: Woman

Age: 22 to 28

Aura Color: Orange

Complexion: Pale

Eye Color: Amber

Semblance: A generator semblance that vibrates air molecules to create burning heat from the users body.

Occupation: [CLASSIFIED]

Greetings, General Ironwood writing. Everything after this point is for my viewing purposes only. You have been warned.

.

.

.

Six months ago, the Fall Maiden was attacked in rural Vale. Amber, who is only 20 years old, is on life support from a machine created from Prof. Polendina. According to Qrow, who recovered Amber, she was attacked by three individuals. One of them was Emerald (Case file# 1001). One of them was Mercury Black (Case file# 1500). And their leader... is her.

I do not know who she is.

According to Qrow, she had some type of Grimm coming out of her arm attaching itself to Amber before he saved her. That can't be from Dust, or a Semblance. It could only be magic. Salem.

I am confident in my assumption that this woman, whoever she is, is a direct follower of Salem. We must find her. We must capture her and drain her brain dry of all her secrets. Use a mental semblance on her if we have to. And if we cannot capture her... we must kill her. She is a threat to the whole world.

Tell me more about Witch Village AU Joseph~

Oh, shit, yeah! I kinda thought no one was interested in witch village but sure!

Joseph is an elemental witch with a focus on fire magic, he didn't choose to be tied with fire it chose him, and he hates it. He has to stay calm around open fame because if his emotions flare up so do the flames. He could control fire if he could get over his fear of it hurting everyone, though he can handle it just fine. He could stick his arm into a bonfire and be totally fine, the fire likes him so it wont harm him

He runs really hot so he's usually shirtless with the other guys approval (he wasn't just going to show up shirtless that's rude) He tries to make himself useful by doing a lot of the heavy lifting but because he runs hot he's prone to getting heat stroke if someone doesn't stop him. Jean is usually the one that stops him, splashing him with a huge ball of water before making him go cool off

This is all I can think of for now but if you have anymore questions please let me know!

My Marvel OC! The reason for my namesake on this app lol :p might as well post her on here since I posted my other OC

[yams-here]

Team REMN au: Beacon's faculty

their personalities remain mainly the same don't worry (except for Cinder's because she's annoying)

small notes for fun because idk this is the first time I've drawn any of these characters: - Cinder's outfit is like a mix of all of her outfits in one, and yes, she DOES have a Grimm arm. Salem found her injured and that's the only way she knows how to heal. Although Cinder is grateful, Salem still regrets it - Arthur is that one teacher you either hate or love. He has sent many of his students crying out of his class but to this day none of them have failed - Tyrian does have his mechanical tail. Most of the injuries inflicted on this group canonically happened - Hazel can hold every single one of his students by the scruff like a kitten. this is very important information. - Salem does have her Grimm features, but she covers all her skin and wears kind of a goofy looking mask to hide them so she doesn't scare anyone away - Salem has made peace with her immortality (if she had the chance to get rid of it she'd take it though) and decided to use her infinitely extending life span to help as many people as possible. She can control grimm, but controlling every single one in existance would take too much of a toll to her, so she'd rather teach her students how to destroy them instead - SUPER MAD that the literal final boss of RWBY didn't get a weapon so she gets a cool witch hat that floats behind her back. She mainly uses it for magic and defense but I can see her using it like kung lao's blade hat lol She prefers to avoid fighting tho

[multiples-fandomswontkillme]

The murderous besties that could never be....

Me gushing abt why i like them sm under the cuttt

Like c'mon, they would have gotten along so bad if they had gotten the chance!!! Neo doesn't gaf abt licking Salem's heels so she posed no threat to Tyrian in that regard and with how much she hated Cinder and didn't particularly care abt the rest of WITCH, she'd gravitate towards Tyrian cus at least he's not boring her, reminding her of Roman or bossing her around. Tyrian would find her SO amusing, small but deadly, so much rage and thirst for revenge in such a tiny package! Plus, both are super flexible, fearsome adversaries who do complex acrobatics mid fights ooh they'd have gotten along so baddddd if they had more than 3 secs of interaction

RWBY Volume 9 Epilogue: The Five Stages of Grief Again

As @greenteaandtattoos's friend noticed, volume 9 epilogue has its five narrators embody the five stages of grief:

Negation - refusal to aknowledge the truth, while clinging to a preferable reality.

Anger - lashing out on others in an attempt to channel one's pain and frustration.

Bargaining - being ready to negotiate, to give something in order to avoid loss. When death already happened, it is about exploring what ifs scenarios.

Depression - sadness, desperation and refusal to engage with others. It often comes with low energy.

Acceptance - coming to terms with one's loss and finding a new stability.

This isn't surprising, as volume 9 as a whole uses this motif. In particular, Ruby herself goes through the 5 stages twice. First to grieve over Penny and then to face her emotions towards Summer. Finally, RWBYJN reach acceptance (the main theme). Acceptance of death, loss, pain, change and of themselves. All in all, RWBYJ's journey in the Ever after is a metaphor for the process of grieving. Well, the epilogue shows us how the other characters have been dealing with this emotion.

So, here comes NORWQ as the 5 stages of grief:

Nora = anger: tbf she is the most difficult to pintpoint, as she fits the pattern less than others. Still, her section focuses on how Vacuans and Atlesians are both reacting with anger at the new status quo. Vacuans are frustrated that Atlas brought its own problems into their Kingdom. Atlesians are furious nobody came to help them. Nora herself enters into a short confrontation with two angry Vacuans and clearly projects her own past into the conflict. What's wrong with orphans? What's wrong with her?

Oscar = negation: our Little Prince is the only one that believes Ruby and the others might be alive. He even looks for an answers into books (mirroring how RWBYJ is grieving through a fairy tale). On a personal level, he and Ozpin are both fighting the merge, so they are negating a transformation, which is bound to happen.

Ren = bargaining: Lotus boy is trying to replace Jaune as the glue who keeps the team together. He is conscious of everyone's feelings and problems, but is not sure on how to handle them. Moreover, his section deals with how Salem's faction goes through a bargain. Sure, it lost some people in Atlas, but Tyrian and Mercury free the Crown, so that new forces are ready to fight for the Evil Witch of the West.

Winter = depression: our Winter Maiden is dealing very very badly with Penny and Weiss's lost. She blames herself for everything and is far away from accepting Penny's final teaching: "I won't be gone, I will be a part of you". Winter is struggling to honor both Penny and Weiss's legacy. If anything, she feels she isn't the right person to do so. Her section is also the most somber on a macrochosm level. As a matter of fact through her we discover Vale was destroyed by Salem and we see how the refugees are not handling their new situation well.

Qrow = acceptance: Qrow is Winter's opposite, as he is the closest to find acceptance. On a personal level, he shows he has integrated with Clover. He has embraced his friend's optimism and has learnt to love himself through him. This is why his semblance evolved and he is now able to bring both good and bad luck. This new found balance lets him find hope even in the bad situation the world is in. He sees how people are showing kindness and realizes Ruby's message is the first step into uniting Remnant.

Of course, our five narrators all foil each other in different ways. I have discussed Qrow and Winter here, so let's see what to say about Nora, Ren and Oscar.

RENORA = LONELY TOGETHER

Nora and Ren are going through an inversion of their dynamic. Nora is now repressing her feelings and avoiding Ren's attentions and offers of support. Ren instead is grieving openly and is trying to be open with his feelings.

Nora isn't even able to speak directly with the person she lost, but narrates talking to no-one in particular. She mostly speaks about the macrochosm and uses plural forms. "We buried our friends", "I think everyone lost someone that day", "For us it was a relief, but for the Vacuans", ""What if we can't go on, what if we are too scarred?". She is in a sense the embodyment of everyone's grief. At the same time, she is so disconnected from her own trauma, that she can only read it while projecting it on the world:

Ren: Nora, she is putting the world on her shoulders.

Ren instead is the one more focused on the feelings of the people around him. Through his point of view, we discover how the other main characters are doing. We realize Nora is too focused on the macrochosm, while Oscar has trouble with the microchosm (he just isn't himself). Ren is trying to balance out the two dimensions. He is grieving for Jaune and is inheriting his legacy. At the same time, he understands that just like his friends are fighting to overcome anger and pain, so is the world. By doing this, he once again draws a parallel between Nora and the World:

I think the epilogue of volume 9 (or the prologue of volume 10?) sets up Nora as a strong symbolic character in Vacuo. She is Vacuo itself, struggling with pain, grief and anger. She is Atlesian orphans, nameless children too scarred to go on. Ren's role will probably be to step in and remind her how beautiful she is.

OSCAR = STAGNATION

Oscar's conflict permeates both the microchom and the macrochosm. It is synthesized by this phrase:

Oscar: "You always believed in the best. You saw people for who they really were. Some of us don't know anymore."

Here, Oscar is speaking both:

Of himself, who is slowly and painfully merging with Ozpin

Of the world, which finds itself in "uncharted territory"

Oscar is uncertain. Of who he is. Of what to do. So, he looks up to Ruby, who was always certain and could "see the world through better eyes".

At the same time, Oscar's situation strongly suggests he is stagnating. He refuses to accept RWBYJ's death (he is right, but it isn't a healthy reaction). He fights the merge unsuccessfully. He can neither go back to the person he was before nor can he progress towards a better version of himself. Basically, just as Ruby is finding the path back to herself in the Ever After, Oscar is losing himself in Vacuo. This is (just like in Renora's case) an inversion to their previous dynamic. Back in Atlas, Oscar was the one progressing, whereas Ruby was stagnating. Right now, they start their stories in Vacuo in an inversed situation.

OTHER POSSIBLE FOILINGS

Of course, the epilogue/prologue offers several possible foilings that could be explored in volume 10. Here are some (but they aren't all).

Ren and Winter are both talking to the "sibling" they entered a conflict with in volume 8. Both grew distant from Jaune and Weiss, only to reconcile later on. Now, they realize how much Jaune and Weiss did to keep their respective families together. They celebrate their legacies and wonder if they might be able to live up to it. This might also foreshadow some foiling of Jaune and Weiss themselves, once they come back.

Qrow and Oscar are both talking to Ruby (to be fair, Qrow speaks to everyone, but thematically Ruby is her interlocutor). However, Qrow has managed to integrate (with Clover), while Oscar fights integration (with Ozpin (understandably so)). At the same time, Qrow focuses on how Ruby has changed the world, whereas Oscar focuses on how Ruby has changed him.

Nora and Qrow open and end the epilogue. Nora is the one who struggles to grieve the most (she is the only one who never visits the memorial, after the cerimony). She insists she must move on, but also wonders if she will ever be able to. Qrow instead is the one who deals the best with the situation. He finds serenity while at the memorial and grieves in a hopeful way thanks to the murales realized by the community. Both are very involved with helping people and the refugees. Nora is shown helping children and states she wants to help Velvet before eating herself. Qrow keeps going into meetings with Theodore, he spends time with Robyn and the kids and helps the Schnees giving out free food. Still, Nora is clearly wearing herself out, whereas Qrow genuinelly finds hope and energy. Nora is symbolically one of the orphans trying to carry the world. Qrow is instead a mentor, who has learnt he doesn't have to face the world alone.

OTHER THOUGHTS

Happy to see the Crown. I think Jill and Jax have the potential to foil Emercury to an extent, so I am happy to see them (it's them, right?) with Merc. It is also something I had always thought that Tyrian and Mercury's mission to Vacuo might have been to find some new allies there. The Crown were the obvious choice.

I feel neutral about team CFVY appearing so much in the epilogue. My guess is that they are set up to be minor foils to RWBY, kind of like the Happy Huntresses and the Ace Ops were in Atlas. I think the books give them enough set-up to solve their arc in a quick way, while commenting on those of the main characters.

I was surprised about the revelation of Salem attacking Vale. I wonder if she found the crown. I doubt it, so far and I think Glynda missing is clearly set-up as a future plot-point. In any case, we'll see. I am open to everything.

[polyhexian]

I have finally designed Nym! he is a half demon and the deputy of Tyrian Murex when he was head of the Abominations coven. He's older than he looks, but he's deeply amused by this. He eventually falls in love with a wild witch and defects to become a palistrom keeper apprenticed to Dell Clawthorne before he's killed by the current Golden Guard Jasper.

We see a few abomination witches in toh, and most of them are super messy and always covered in goo, but the two highest ranked ones we see are Darius, abominations coven head, and Professor Hermonculus, abominations professer at Hexside. Darius obviously keeps himself quite manicured, but Hermonculus also wears a frilly outfit with an ascot and is not covered in goo despite being carried around by an abomination all day. My headcanon is that for Abomination witches, being very clean and well dressed is a bit of a flex and a way to show one is highly skilled.

Hi! I love your writing, it’s seriously impeccable. I was wondering- remember the part where you wrote in the first chapter for season 4, where Chrissy gave reader a daisy (or daisies ?) when everything happened in season 1? Whenever you can, I was wondering what that would have looked like, like a mini little blurb.

:}

yes !!! chrissy was a sweetie i like to imagine her and bug were friendly and admired the other from afar </3

enjoy !

"excuse me?"

youre in the library trying to catch up on all the work youve missed these last few weeks, and youre so lost in your readings that you jump when you feel the girls hand gently tap your shoulder. "jesus!"

the table thuds, knee coming into contact with it in your terror, and your heart stops. memories of the demogorgon still fresh on your mind, any touch from someone sets you into a spiral.

"sorry!" the girl squeaks in embarrassment, and when you look up, you see chrissy cunninghams cheeks flushed. "i-im sorry! i didnt mean to scare you, i promise-"

your heartbeat settles. placing a hand on hers, you placate chrissys anxious thoughts. "its alright. no harm done." you smile at her, winking, hoping to dispel any remaining tension. "just a bruised knee."

yet chrissys face pales now. "oh, no. thats even worse. i really didnt mean to make you jump like that."

"it really isnt your fault." you reassure her again. "honestly, anything these days makes me jump."

"because of will?" chrissy asks you before she can stop herself. she flinches at her own question, similar to a small deer scared of its own shadow, and your heart aches for the girl before you. "i-im so sorry. that was a rude question-"

"would you like to sit?"

its not that you interrupt chrissy because youre bored of her. you interrupt her because you know what its like to spiral into anxious thoughts and uncertain boundaries. chrissy has been your classmate for years, but the two of you were always divided by a line created by social hierarchy. she chose cheerleading, and you chose jonathan.

but despite this divide, youve always watched chrissy in awe. shes kind. kinder than anyone youve ever met, and her soft demeanor juxtaposed the charisma needed to become head cheerleader at only sixteen. and yet youve never seen her cruel to anyone.

"well?" you beckon chrissy towards the seat next to you. "since youre here, might as well keep me company, right?"

chrissy nods, silent, and softly sits down. everything she does is soft. she smells of rosebuds and her doe eyes remind you of your childhood.

as she sits, you notice something white poking out from her bag. curious, you peer over the table. "whats in there?"

she stiffens at your questioning. everything you seem to do frightens her in some capacity. as if shes afraid any minute she'll upset you, and you try not to read into it, you really do, but her shy demeanor concerns you.

"chrissy," you gently grab her hand, eyes finding hers. shes warm to the touch, skin as soft as she is. "im just an annoyingly inquisitive person who cries watching ants get stepped on."

she laughs, and the cadence of it rings like bells. "ants?"

"im fond of bugs." you shrug at her, only knowing the true meaning behind your words.

she doesnt question you, though, and instead loops her arm through her backpack and places it on the table. you watch her with patience as she unzips it, unsure what she's doing, until she's pulled out freshly cut daisies.

you gasp. the flowers are lovely. "theyre beautiful!"

chrissy smiles shyly. "theyre for you, actually?"

"me?"

"mhm," she hands them to you, a sudden boldness to her once petrified nature. on her face is a proud smile, eager to have done this one nice thing for you, and for a second you see your reflection in her eyes. "here."

you hold the flowers close to your chest. they smell like spring and laughter. "i... why?"

"theyre for you and will." chrissy fixes one of the stems, delicate and deft. "when i heard about his disappearance, when he died..."

its your turn to look away. the reminder of seeing what you thought was wills lifeless body only days ago. how small he looks now in the hospital bed. how els body isnt next to his.

chrissy clears her throat, anxious she's upset you, and tries to ease the sting. "but hes alive now, and i figured you and him could use some flowers after everything youve been through."

she picks at a daisy, watches the small plant with fondness. "flowers. funny how something so frail can bring so much hope."

something about the way she says it, the way her words twist, makes your throat close up. pressure builds behind your eyes and you have to quickly wipe them before chrissy sees and starts to worry again.

"thank you," your voice cracks. "i... will hates how dull the hospital walls are."

chrissy laughs, leaning into you, and you cant help but laugh with her as well.

Nerissa: 20s. Mermaid queen. Enjoys languages, traditional crafts and sports. Mermaids have a variety of sports, both in and out of the water. Also likes poetry and song. Merfolk tend to use oral tradition of storytelling rather than reading, and she also enjoys telling or listening to stories.

Rosetta: late 20s. Elf. Witch. Gaian, but now works on Calypso as a privateer. Hugo's right hand woman. Likes fishing and cooking and crafting. Knows multiple languages, including three dialects of merfolk sign language.

Rosie: 23. Human. Witch. Earthling, but now lives in a magical forest on Anima. Vampire researcher. 'Introvert' is an understatement, she does not like people.

Sam: 20-ish. Kelpie. Horse man, that is, a man who is a horse. Peddlar. Likes travelling and meeting new people. Likes good food and time spent with good friends. Likes running and the occasional sport.

Sara: 23. Elf. Queen of Sheva. Her hobbies are getting her country back on track and doing a good job as queen and throwing a spanner into the bicycle spokes of evil whenever possible. No but she really doesn't have any hobbies because of the trauma. To relax she does literally nothing. She likes tea though.

Trace: Human. Vampire - not a Stollenheim though! The most charming 17 year old boy you have ever met. Currently a college student studying a variety of subjects. Intends to assist with his grandmother's charity work. Likes any pastime that requires strategy and using your brain. Happy to just chat for hours also.

Tyrian: 54 (24 in human years) Fairy. Vampire. King of the Dark Realm of Fairyland. Cinnamon roll of a man. I'm not obligated to be unbiased in my description, that's my son. Main hobby is writing. Mainly original work, some fanfiction. Romance, lots of slash.

Victor: 18. Human. Vampire. Scared of humans, most animals, a lot of plants and the occasional rock. He's working on it. Very hard. I'm so proud of him. He loves books and he likes games. He actually quite likes people - he'd be more social if he didn't have anxiety.

Will: 21. Human. Half-Earthling. Fairy ancestry. Loves travel, languages, Shakespeare. Jester/Fool. Been obsessed with Fairyland since he was a kid. Now lives there.

Zaran: 19. Human. Paral of Gandar. Horse enby. By which I mean an enby who is into horses and not an enby who is a horse. They love painting and cooking and crafting.

It's important to note that Ruby Rose is both Red Riding Hood and Dorothy, Ironwood is both the Tin Man and President Shinra, and Jaune Arc is Joan of Arc, the Mad Hatter, AND the White Rabbit all rolled up into a single character.

Different characters can have multiple allusions.

Qrow is both the Scarecrow AND either Muginn or Huginn (with his sister Raven filling in for the other bird), while Cinder is Cinderella, the Wicked Witch of the East, and Jafar.

Tyrian can absolutely be both the Scorpion and Gilles.

mm true.

omigosh... 🕸️🕸️🕸️🕸️ it sounds perfectly made for me specifically... steve harrington as peter parker............. theyre both my soul mates of course the math checks out (also its so hard to pick from your wips, they all sound sooo good)

heeey! thank you so much!! @tyrian-witch also requested some stuff for Simply The Best!

Which, I'm gonna tell you guys, I've been trying to write for this and keep up the excitement, but it's definitely one I need to like talk to people about and just fuel off of the excitement for it because as soon, and I do mean, as in like immediately upon hearing someone wanted me to write for this today, I wrote all day for it. so THANK YOU.

Here's some lines I wrote for the "second" chapter involving Nancy and Wayne, but I promise you - soo much more coming soon 💛

Wayne’s frustrated, and as a twig snaps under your shoe as you dare closer, he says, “Why? Far as I can tell, you all have it figured out already.” Wayne looks directly at your crouched position next to the playground equipment now, he sniffles once before continuing. “My nephew’s a freak. He killed that girl. Ain’t that about right?”

Your camera rests on Nancy’s face, an almost imperceptible click of your shutter to catch her sorrow, to capture her empathy. Over though, almost as quickly as it arrived when she looks around, searching for the angle, the thing that will get him to talk.

She starts with Chuck, stares at you when she says, “I mean, that guy doesn’t know his ass from his elbow.”

The camera lifts in your hands again as you smirk, Wayne smiles, just a bit, and nods, agreeing with her.

There’s this feeling you haven’t felt in a really long time as he looks at Nancy, open, she leans in, ready to listen, and says: “Let me tell your side of the story.” One you can’t put into words. It’s being in the right place at the right time, the privilege it is to be allowed to record a shared moment between people - often one that’s vulnerable, full of hard and nuanced truths, and trust that isn’t so easily given.

It feels like you’re capable of anything, even superhuman powers like traveling through time - like you’re communicating with the past, present, and future somehow.

It feels like you have purpose, meaning, a gift you shouldn’t give up on.

Especially when Nancy gestures to you, but keeps eye contact with Wayne, and says, “Do you mind if she records your story too, Mr. Munson?”

hi it's me again this might be too much of an ask but do you think it would be possible to do a list of all the allusions that Salem is/has? not her own personal ones (rapunzel etc.) but the role she has in other people's stories (I ask because I made a joke to someone about hansel and gretel and went "hazel and gretchen" -> "salem is the witch to hazel's hansel in a world where neither hansel nor gretel survives" which also factors into the "gretchen is the spring maiden and died during Summer's Mission" theory in which case raven would be her witch) not just all the ones where she's The Witch (archetype) but also other antagonists or roles like the wolf to ruby and summer (wherein summer is both the grandmother and the woodcutter) or the fairy godmother to cinder if that's too much to ask of you I understand in which case I'll have to make a chart with my own red string and thumbtacks

um so basically:

<- this is how the story goes.

to break it down:

CORE ALLUSIONS.

in approximate order of importance, these are: maiden-in-the-tower tales, the marvelous land of oz, cinderella, and the little prince. structurally it isn't as complex as the above diagram makes it appear because the petrosinella -> persinette -> rapunzel -> petrosinella circle and the ozian narrative are the same narrative through different eyes. cinder and oscar are the proverbial twins and summer rose is important connective tissue gluing everything together.

maiden-in-the-tower: - salem is always the maiden - ozma is always the prince - the god of light is always the captor

petrosinella: - the og divine rebellion - failed bc dark sided with light

persinette: - the ozlem kingdom - ozma Left Her to escape the curse

rapunzel: - war for the relics - ozma is the blinded prince + the pilot - both are stranded in the desert - truth will rise etc etc leading to:

petrosinella, again: - the broken fairytale to be mended - the hound is the dog - cinder is the lion - summer is the wolf - "you saved yourself" <- the girl in the tower comes due

the marvelous land of oz: - ozma is ozma - ozpin is the wizard + tippetarius --> meaning he "chose" his curse - the god of light is mombi (cursed ozma) - salem is glinda (searching for ozma) - oscar is jack pumpkinhead (tip's "son" + existential dread) - summer rose is general jinjur (holding the emerald city) - qrow is the scarecrow (ruling in the wizard's absence) --> the scarecrow and jinjur fight over the crown - ironwood is nick chopper (emperor of winkie country) - lionheart is the soldier with green whiskers (coward, traitor) - raven is the woggle bug (=maiden of knowledge) --> mutters in silver wishing pill only the bug can use - mutters about silver eyes and mombi's rose - glinda forces mombi to tell the truth, free ozma, and then relinquish her magical power. hello

cinderella: - salem is the grave of her mother / the fairy godmother - summer is the stepmother (probably) - ruby and yang are the stepsisters - the crown...?

the little prince: - ozma is the pilot, see prev re: blind in the desert - oscar is the little prince - (ruby in V9 is also the little prince) - (summer is her rose; salem is the sheep)

MINOR / CHARACTER ALLUSIONS

hansel and gretel: - hazel is hansel, gretchen is gretel - salem is the witch - ozpin is the evil mother - gretchen dies in the woods under mysterious circumstances - hansel pushes the witch into the oven because it's what gretel would have done. laugh!

sherlock holmes: - watts is dr. watson (but evil) - salem is holmes (but evil) - mumbles. cinder is adler (outmaneuvers them both)

the scorpion and the...: - tyrian is the scorpion - "f. pickerel" is a frog - qrow is also a frog - salem is the turtle

little red riding hood: - ruby is little red - the Idea Of Summer Rose is the mother - the Real Summer is the big bad wolf + the huntsman - salem is the grandmother - witches can be right giants can be good etc - the key here is that the grandmother is the goal; ruby is trying to beat salem. the wolf is the obstacle; summer joined salem. the huntsman is the resolution; summer joined salem for a good reason.

book of job conspiracy theory: - salem is job - ozma + rwbyjnor is eliphaz et al - the god of light is the satan - the god of darkness is the deity

yeah
