ATLA and RWBY thought

This is admittedly a cluster of a thought I'm having. Tai Yang Xiao Long, and Willow Schnee share the same sort of flaw with Iroh and Ursa from Avatar The Last Airbender: They're good people, but either neglected or otherwise had problems with one or more of their children owing to their own problems that were going on.

No, I don't think either of them were horrible people. Just had problems as parents/uncles. Admittedly going through the abuse they went through (Willow and Ursa), or the haze of depression (Tai and Iroh) do a lot to people and can result in far worse but the problems are apparent in their kids/charges.

The entire Schnee family were screwed over by Jacques, to be sure. I'm not going to argue against that. But Willow driving herself into drinking didn't exactly do anything good for Winter, Whitley, or Weiss. At least in her case, Willow aided Weiss in ousting Jacques and was constantly helping her children and the heroes in V8.

Tai is a complicated story. I know I have mutuals that think he's a shit person, shit father, etc. But I personally see someone that is trying, at the very least, to attempt to make up for neglecting his kids during a very trying time. It's not good when your first wife leaves you shortly after your first kid is born and your second ups and leaves in the middle of the night to a secret mission and is presumed dead. He helped Yang get back on her feet, which worked out in the end. Not exactly the greatest father in the world, but in my frank opinion I'll take him over Raven Branwen.

So, we have two parents that are trying to help their kids in the current time period of RWBY after having neglected them at the least during their childhoods out of depression, grief, and alcohol addiction.

What about Iroh and Ursa?

Given how Zuko turned out, and me being a Zuko stan? I don't think I need to go too in depth on my favorite Fire Nation Prince. Just that a lot of his problems stem from his father's influence in his life and his mother leaving him as a child, though he had Iroh there it was a long journey from where he started to where he ended up.

A friend of mine once explained her pitying Azula, whereas I just saw a monster that needed to be stopped, like this: Zuko had two buffers against Ozai and they were Ursa at first and then Iroh later on. Azula had no one and was twisted faster and harder than Zuko was.

I don't hate Azula anymore, though I did when I watched the show back when it was airing. Given time, discussion, and reflection, I can see that Azula was very much a victim of Ozai's shite...with no one to aid her, really. It doesn't excuse the stuff she did or tried to do in the show or the comics, but it does put that breakdown into a sadder context.

Basically, the point that Iroh and Ursua didn't try as hard as they could have with Azula makes sense to me. It doesn't mean they're bad people, just have favoritism in their hearts and didn't try hard enough.

This isn't a critique, more just my opinions on things. I just think all four of these people fit into the flawed parent trope a lot better than making them straight up abusive. It shows what depression, abuse, etc. can do to a person and the extremes they're willing to go.

TLDR: Iroh, Ursa, Tai, and Willow all messed up regarding their kids. But at least they decided to try in the end, and I applaud them for that.

Crypth are one of the main sapient races of the hub planet of Laynair. They are indigenous to Laynair before it was used as a hub world.

They live in a Matriarchal society and in modern days; with Ursua as their leader, are very peaceful.

Most tend to live in hot desert environments but there is a subspecies called the Glass Throat that live in caverns and low light cities.

Cygnus loudly whispers that bringing up Rigel was a bad idea. Clear from how much Black Star outbursts afterwards. Shouting that she doesn't care though. That's the whole point. She only cared about one part of that goddamn situation. Everything else was fucking fine. Maybe he didn't want to deal with her. Maybe he wanted to get her out of the way. He doesn't want a person to tell him how terrible he is at life. Cygnus tells him to back off. Everybody says it. His family says it! He didn't think the apology was sincere and decided to jump to violence when he thought he was being utilized as a puppet. That's the blunt fact of it. That clearly was not her intention. She's just a grump and he's not good at telling her sarcasm yet. Not an his Earth telling him lies so that she can play with him later. Reminding that Cygnus is going to have ursua talk with Rigel later.

Ursus is just strolling into the Cluster a few weeks later, tossing her newly stolen Star at Black Star and her spare arm at Cygnus.

Black Stars jumbles with the star for a bit. Finally growling at her and saying he's not taking it. Giving it back to her. Threatening that if she pushes he'll just dump it somewhere random her world. Meanwhile Cygnus Is very happy. Carefully walking down the arm to see if he can get it attached. Antares offhandedly asks If that is a good idea. Rigel hides under a blanket.

Here’s one of our favourites songs we hope you like. It’s a traditional song, or more exactly, a chanson or romance in Spanish. In this kind of composition, even-numbered lines rhyme and odd lines are left unrhymed.

Let’s hear it and we’ll follow with the interesting part below:

- Agur, nere arreba                                       - Hail my sister nere arreba Joana (x2)                                 sister Joan (x2) Berri bat aditu dut                                        I’ve heard some news nere arreba Joana. (x2)                                sister Joan (x2)

+ Zer aditu duzu bada,                                 + What did you hear then, nere anaia jauna?  (x2)                                 my lord brother? (x2) - Enbraza omen zara                                    - That you may be pregnant nere arreba Joana. (x2)                                 sister Joan (x2)  

+ Zertan ezagutzen naute,                           + How did they know, nere anaia jauna?  (x2)                                  my lord brother? (x2) - Gerria loditu ta                                            - Your waist is bigger and laburtu kotiluna. (x2)                                     your jerkin's shorter (x2)

+ Ez nazazula sala                                         + Don’t give me away ene aita-ametara  (x2)                                   before mum and dad (x2) eta are gutxiago                                             and especially not Urtsuko senetara (x2)                                    before the Urtsua family (x2)

- Zer eman duzu sari                                     - What will you give in return nere arreba Joana? (x2)                                sister Joan? (x2) + Txapela lumarekin                                      + A feathered hat nere anaia jauna (x2)                                      my lord brother (x2)

- Ez da ez hori sari                                         - That’s not a prize nere arreba Joana. (x2)                                  sister Joan (x2)   + Poltsetan ehun luis                                     + 100 luis in a bag* nere anaia jauna (x2)                                      my lord brother (x2)  

- Hori ez duzu aski                                         - That’s not enough nere arreba Joana (x2)                                   sister Joan (x2)   + Haurra besoetara                                        + The baby in your arms**  nere anaia jauna (x2)                                      my lord brother (x2)

- Hori da hori sari                                           - Now that’s a prize nere arreba Joana! (x2)                                  sister Joan! (x2)     Haurra besoetara                                           The baby in my arms nere arreba Joana (x2)                                   sister Joan (x2)  

Urtsuan defuntua                                            There’s a corpse in Urtsua Santa Anan kausitua,                                     found in Santa Ana,    adios erran gabe                                             she left home etxetik partitua.                                               without saying goodbye.

* “luis” was an ancient currency. ** She’s offering her brother to be her baby’s godfather.

What a plot twist, huh? The song is a short version of the chanson, of course ^_^ Scholars can’t decide if it happened in the 13th or 17th century, but they agree that the chanson tells a real event: 

Joana de Lantaina was a rich woman from Iparralde that was getting married to the Navarrese lord of Urtsua. The wedding night, her husband - knowing that she was pregnant with someone else’s baby - asked one servant to shoe his horse with upside down horseshoes. Next, he offered Joana to go visit the family chapel devoted to Santa Ana for a prayer before sleep, which she accepted. When she was on her knees, he murdered her with a sword, took his horse and rode to France, not to ever come back.

This is the Urtsua palace nowadays, where the couple were supposed to have lived:

And the tiny Santa Ana chapel, where Joana was murdered:

The in-universe ages don’t exactly match up, but LMAO, out of all the characters who could pass as an Andres spawn, Tokyo fits the most. Evidence:

Basic biology: black hair, dark eyes. 

Both Andres and Martin hate her, which means she’s the closest thing to a berlermo lovechild we’ll get. Andres’ “looks” and Martin’s “personality.” The dots are connecting!

Gandia had the same bizarre obsession with both of them.
