How Jaune introduces his Girlfriend (And Ruby) to his family...

Jaune: Everyone I want to introduce to you my girlfriend. Pyrrha Nikos.

Mama Arc: The champion Pyrrha Nikos herself?! (But I shipped Lancaster.)

Papa Arc: Atta boy, Son. I knew you had it in you to bring a proper bride to the Arc family... You are thinking of getting married to her, right?

Rouge: Excellent choice for a woman little brother. If you don't mind I'm looking forward to cross blade with the Champion herself.

Saphron: Isn't she the cereal lady?

Violetta: No! No! No! I refuse to accept this red haired hussy as my brother's girlfriend!

Pyrrha: Hello there. Nice to meet everyone. I am Jaune's girlfriend Pyrrha Nikos and yes I am also the cereal lady.

Jaune: Mom, dad. Everyone. I know you all may have your opinion on Pyrrha. But I want you to know that I love Pyrrha very dearly.

Violetta: Wait who is the dumb looking girl behind you two?

Ruby: Hi. My name is Ruby. Don't mind me, I'm just tagging along.

Jaune: Oh almost forgot. This is Ruby she's a friend. In fact I wanted her to be here. Because I can't imagine doing something so important without her support. She's a good friend. No great in fact, She's not only a great friend, but she's also great at fighting Grimm's, she's great at gaming and she's very cute. I mean she's so cute that I want to tell everyone how cute she is. I like seeing her cute little smile, I like seeing how cute she is everytime she's trying her best. And I like how beautiful she is when she never gives up... I mean, not as beautiful as Pyrrha of course. The point is that she is important to me. And I love her for being my friend.

Ruby: Ohhh Jaune~ *hugs him*

Everyone watching:

Some times later

Jaune: What do you mean you want me to stop seeing Ruby?!

im actually short circuiting here i cant even be funny. this is insane. she is insane, and therefore i am insane. what the fuck. huh. what.

[aroacettorney]

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

[greyscalemoon]

why is there not enough the young elites content I NEED TO SEE MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS!!!!!! its giving poppy war in the best possible way

adelina amouteru no one will ever make me hate you

[assim-eu-sou]

[drippingviolets3]

Everyone I need absolute silence because I just finished watching HxH and istg the author can THROW. SOME ROUNDS WITH ME.

I CANT TAKE THIS SHIT MAN MY HEART CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH-

[gaybarbiegirl]

I was talking about it with @marciego and I can't get over how good of a decision leaving for France was for Angie's character. I know this is something that usually gets seen as just her running away from Germán after how much he hurt her with the Jeremias situation, but really as painful as the whole thing was, it gave Angie something she needed.

She'd been struggling so much all season long with wanting to be there for Violetta but feeling like she had no place in the Castillo house, with feeling like Violetta was growing up and didn't need her as much anymore, with facing the consequences of putting her relationship with Violetta above herself and her job for over a year. She let Vilu become the center of her life, the only thing she made decisions for, and even though she knew how bad this was for her and saw herself becoming more and more lonely and losing her sense of self every day, she couldn't get herself to stop because she just loved her so much. Jeremias was the last straw, sure, but he wasn't the only or even the main reason Angie left for France. It was just the catalyst, a betrayal and heartbreak that also worked as a reality check and made her realise she needed to start living for herself again.

And in the end, that's what she did. She wasn't running from Germán, she was making the decision she knew would be good for her even if it was hard in the moment. She left to pursue her own dreams and become her own person again, and it was the happy ending her character deserved to have.

The Great S7 Rewrite: 7 July 2024 Update...

Posted this yesterday as a reblog update to the Great S7 Rewrite but now posting separately...

Here's a summary of where we are in the Great S7 Rewrite and some ideas moving forward:

Bone of Contention #1: Opera Rules

@astridcontramundum is in favor of keeping Opera Rules (voiceovers, framing scenes, etc.) as well as featuring more of the bespoke opera written for S7. I love her suggestion that Morse and Violetta have their own leitmotif! 

@oeuvrinarydurian suggested the possibility of leaning into Opera Rules—going a little crazy with tropes and techniques and being fanciful. 

I *love* the idea of leaning into Opera Rules and it’s actually what I’ve thought R.L. should have done all along. Now though, when I think of doing it within the context of the existing storylines we’re working with, I run into difficulties imagining it. The stories don’t fit into a “playful” world. That may simply be my own limitations. I’d love to see it done somewhere, sometime—especially somewhat whimsically and especially in the Morse universe.

One possibility I’ve considered is still having Opera Rules (voiceovers, framing scenes, etc. as well as opera tropes and themes), but actually taking them seriously instead of making them OTT. I’m heavily paraphrasing, but Astrid, in one of her stories has Bix say something like, “Real life isn’t like one of your operas,” to Morse. And it’s always struck me that for Morse, his real life *is* like one of his operas. His childhood? Being essentially orphaned. Evil stepmothers. Oxford? Almost marrying the princess so to speak. Being cast aside and cast out. What he sees at his job? Murder. Betrayal. Greed. Jealousy. Grief.

Basically, instead of making Morse’s life suddenly work according to Opera Rules, you could show how Morse has been living an opera all along by suddenly making all of the parallels visible.

Another thought that builds on Astrid’s idea about both Opera Rules and her later thoughts on the Towpath Case is to center the story on the opera that Morse attends at the beginning, "La Sposa del Demonio" (or "La Cura Per L'amore").  What if the story of that opera is reflected in the story arc of the Morse, Ludo, Violetta—whatever that ends up being? 

Bone of Contention #2: Ludo and Violetta?

Astrid likes the idea of having Violetta genuinely in love with Morse. 

@librawritesstuff brings up Violetta as “Unattainable Fantasy Woman” and points out that part of Morse’s attraction to her can be explained by the fact that by the end of S6, he’s been screwed over in just about every way possible. He’s ready to just say fuck it and go after something just because it’s there and he wants it for a change.

She then points out that the bigger problem with Ludo and Violetta lies in the implausibility of their storyline. What was the plan with Morse? Was there a plan? What’s the deal with the “pet policeman”?

Durian: Hates Ludo and Violetta as characters, but her big issue is with lack of logic in the whole opera storyline and too many implausibilities. Did Morse and Violetta meet at the opera by chance or design? Did Ludo know about them the whole time? What was the “pet policeman” about? Was Violetta actually involved in the nuts and bolts of engineering the accidents?

@fanficrocks Looks at making Morse’s relationship with Ludo more believable: less OTT as a character, maybe journalist friend of Dorothea, this gives a believable reason for him to be in all of the towns where the accidents happen and believable way for Morse to trace the accidents to him. Suggests possibly lose “pet policeman” concept and just have Ludo and Morse friendship poisoned by affair

Astrid again: Loves idea of Ludo as journalist; She notes with Violetta: Morse attaching to her out of recklessness seems reasonable but they didn’t make her attachment to him believable in any way. Also, while there was a reconciliation at the end of S6, Morse would have still been carrying resentment about having been pushed aside

I love the idea of Ludo as a journalist. I’m also intrigued by the possibility that he could be a music journalist. This would provide a plausible explanation for so many things—Dorothea introducing him to Morse, Morse actually wanting to become friends, his frequent travels, etc. 

It also gives me an idea re: the big opera La Sposa. What if it were a newly discovered opera? Morse goes to Venice for the premier. Ludo is there covering the premier but for some reason does not attend with Violetta. The plot of this opera could somehow also form a backdrop for the overall Morse, Ludo, Violetta story arc (story within a story).

I completely agree with Libra about the “Unattainable Fantasy Woman” thing for the initial two week affair. Where that starts to break down for me is with the extended affair and her cooking meals for them in their love nest at Beirut dancer’s apartment. There just seems to be no basis for their connection besides sex. Certainly not enough that he would be expecting her to leave Ludo and start a life together.

If we keep Ludo and Violetta as characters, which seems to be the way things are leaning, I do think they both more or less need personality transplants to justify Morse’s continued interest in them. I’m also with Astrid on having Violetta genuinely in love with Morse. I think they left it ambiguous in the show because they were playing on the whole idea of “If it's beautiful, does it matter if it’s real?” (“treason of images” ) thing, but it never really worked.

As for the overall implausibility of overall opera storyline: Yes!!!! It’s a mess. Every point raised by Libra and Durian is valid. Whatever happens with the storyline, those holes need fixing!

Bone of Contention #3: Towpath Storyline

Astrid: Universe within universe for towpath killings. Make it opera related. Gives more scope for Thursday/Morse conflict. Deranged fan? Thwarted performer? Also, while there was a reconciliation at the end of S6, Morse would have still been carrying resentment about having been pushed aside.

Durian: Eliminate clutter in Towpath mystery: get down to “is it or is it not Carl?” Leaves room to carefully craft the conflict between Morse and Thursday

I definitely agree that the clutter in the Towpath mystery needs to be eliminated. There was no clear throughline and the story pulled in too many directions. The specifics, though, depend on a lot of other decisions that need to be made first.

The conflict between Morse and Thursday definitely needs to be more carefully established. How do we get from the seeming reconciliation of Degüello to sniping at each other in Oracle? I completely agree with Astrid that Morse would have still been carrying resentment, but there needs to be something more to explain how it would erupt in such a public and painful manner.

Bone of Contention #4: The Episodic Storylines

Astrid: “I’d definitely keep those gay wrestlers!  I might feature them more! They could be another nod to it all. Thursday said wrestling was a lot like opera. Heroes and Villains. Faces and Heels.”

I love this comment! And I loved the gay wrestlers. They were just so unexpected and their presence was so understated in a way that I found hilarious. 

But it also gets at one of the themes of S7 that I did actually find interesting: How chance puts us on one side or the other, makes us winners or losers in the great game. Raga is the most blatant about it with politics, immigration, race, gambling, etc. but also with the Faces and the Heels in wrestling or the fate of  the firstborn son vs. the second born.

Ludo sums it up—while also perhaps referring to his crimes—by saying to Morse, “Life, death, rich, poor. It's all a roll of the dice, Morse. There's no reason to any of it. You're not responsible. Some people are just unlucky.” It's eerily reminiscent of Charlie and Conrad Greel in Ride.

OK, I think that's it for now. Please let me know if I misrepresented your comments in any way or missed something that was said! I assure you it was accidental.

[Eventually, her mangled body washes ashore. Crows peck at the open bone and flesh before being startled off by the woman coughing.]

Wh… where am I…? Did I fall through a portal again?

[Forcing herself to her feet, she half stumbles half limps to a less open area. It seems that she’s in a city, but not one she recognizes…]

Damn, I’ll have to find a safe place to regenerate fully… luckily I was carrying a spare change of clothes too.

[Near Yokohama, a completely mangled body plunged into the ocean. Were it anyone other than Violet, the body would be a corpse with the life inside it long gone. Blood stains the waters, attracting hungry animals. But when the swarm of aquatic animals arrives, their instincts tell them to stay away.]

(More under the cut)

[Despite being unconscious, Violet’s aura still repels threats to her slowly regenerating body. The serpentine beast fends off the rest of the hungry sea creatures before returning to the dark orb to avoid being spotted.]

[cometcrystal]

mia and me season 1 has my favorite centopia plot. the stakes feel really high + mo and yuko are at their most sassy + the trumptus can't be beat.

but season 2 has my favorite live action plot. mia is living her idyllic italian girl summer with her peepaw + mario is a good lad + violetta's character arc is unparalleled

my ideal mia would be a combination of those two AND include sarah from s3. she could very easily live at a neighboring farm to mia's grandfather. i havent watched s4 or the movie yet so ill have to report back on those. but sarah was the best part of s3 for sure

[professorsparklepants]

Tarvek being a princess in all but pronouns is so right. He’s the mad scientist’s beautiful daughter, the damsel in distress, the ingenue, daddy’s little villain (but he doesn’t want to be). He’s quite literally royalty but dependent on Agatha to truly retake his crown. He’s got femme coding to contrast Violetta’s butch vibes and Gil’s dashing heroic masculinity. I love him so much he’s such a fun character. I’ve never sat down to think about his gender in depth but happy pride guess I’m gonna have to.

HE'S SO GIRLCODED. TOE TO TIP THIS MAN IS A GENDERBEND. HE LOVES DESIGNING LITTLE OUTFITS HE'S CONSTANTLY BEING KIDNAPPED HE'S AN ACCESSORY AND A PLOT DEVICE HE'S SPENT AN ENTIRE ARC WEARING NOTHING BUT A BEDSHEET HE'S SLEEPING BEAUTY HE'S A FEMME FATALE HE'S EUROPA'S LOST PRINCESS HE'S THE VILLAIN'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER.

I often wonder how Federico reacted to all the chaos happening in the Castillo house in the end of S2, especially around before and during the Madrid arc.

But I realize he spent too much time thinking about Ludmila during those eps that he most likely disassociated during his time at the house.

Like I can see them having dinner, Germán worked up over Violetta not wanting to talk to him, Olga and Ramallo arguing, and Federico just sits there like ":D Woah... Ludmila... I can change her. I wanna talk to her... wow she's so intriguing :D" and then suddenly it's 23:00 and everyone has gone to bed and everyone has just left him sitting at the dinner table

[supernova-151]

mmhmmghndfjkgsebfmsmrs but fede's mentality being "i left youmix because i don't like how they handled the studio situation so now i have more time to spend with you" and ludmi's mentality being "why did you throw away such an important opportunity for your career" (plus her being a soon-to-be youmix artist) exquisite truly like the fundamental difference between them being highlighted here is sooooo

[mimiso-soup]

So for this idea, my sister and I wanted the Main 10 (aka the 5 Shadows and their 5 Living Dolls of the first debut) plus Edward and a special creature as skins.

Similar to the Persona 5 collab, my sister thought it’d be fun to be able to switch between the Living Face and the Shadows.

A bit of spoilers for some of the ideas, so these will be under the cut!! (Check out the on-going manga, it’s one of the most interesting mystery series out there!)

Kate & Emilyko = Anne

A bit of spoilers for the First Debut maze arc, Kate’s able to use her soot to make herself a pair of wings to glide with. Emilyko’s also really flexible(?), and I think that would work well with Anne. (Also, a really cute accessory item would be Birdie, who is a toy Emilyko made!)

John & Shaun = William

John’s a very strong person, and has soot powers that provide him physical strength. Personality wise, he tends to run head first into things, and while I don’t believe William is like that, it works in terms of his gameplay being able to run into hunters and objects. While we’re not exactly able to get John’s “John Punch” in, we can still give William a ball that appears to be made out of soot!

Louise & Lou = Evelyn

My sister and I were debating between Margie and Evelyn because Louise tends to want to appear more “cute” which made more sense with Margie since Evelyn’s more “elegant”. But my sister said that it’d be neat if Evelyn’s white powder trick could be soot, which seemed to be a lot cooler! It’s a bit difficult to incorporate Louise’s soot powers in general, so this works well.

Shirley & Ram = Helena

There’s a girl named Anna/Nancy who wears glasses similar to Helena, but alas, she’s not a part of the Main 10. (Besides, them and Oliver/Olly would fit better as Tracy and Luca anyways LOL) Still, Shirely and Ram are very cute, and there’s just something about them being a skin for Helena is just so fitting.

Patrick & Ricky = Edgar

Honestly, my sister and I thought Patrick & Ricky as Victor would’ve been hilarious so then he could send a soot creature as Wick to bite the hunter LMAO- But @ladyandthewalrus sent me someone’s fanart of their idea for a Shadow’s House/IDV collab (which ayyyyyyy, same brain!!) and having Edgar as them just made more sense. So thank you 😌

Ed & Edward = Antonio

Although Edward was seen playing only the piano in the series, his soot powers allow him to manipulate sound, which adds to him playing music. I checked Antonio’s skins and he doesn’t seem to have any collaboration skins, albeit understandable considering his abilities. But I think this is the coolest decision that could be done for IDV. Netease pls pls pls-

Soot Creature/Scorches = Violetta

Okay, hear me out: imagine getting to play the little freaky creatures made of soot running around to attack survivors just like the creatures in the series? I think that would be a missed opportunity to not have them, and what better choice than to have a lovely Violetta? While soot creatures do not shoot webs, I don't believe Violetta has any collab skins soooooo-

If anyone has any thoughts about what they would change, please, I would love to hear them!
