[the-path-to-redemption]

hiiii i'm here with my last anon message (❀´ ˘ `❀)

i don't think i'll finish RWBY for the time being... i'm halfway through volume 9 and my head is spinning ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) this is just like An Oriental Odyssey, but from the USA!

both:

* have pretty solid writing for the first half and clear expectations, then goes crazy

* develop ok ship only to tear it apart

* main antagonist is bad because their lover died

* many plot twists without any foreshadowing/contradictory foreshadowing

* purest character dies twice and comes back from the dead

* starts as magical realism but SUDDENLY MAGIC!! WOWIES MAGIC DOES EXIST??

* love triangles

* canon ships are bad and the notion of love is twisted and abusive

* fans of the work treat you like an idiot because you don't understand the brilliance of the work

* no subtlety at all

* characters not growing and falling into the same pitfalls

i was halfway season 5 when i realized (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥) i was cheated!! but i immediately thought, "well, the writers must be young too" then i checked and they were way older than me!! .·°՞(˃ ᗝ ˂)՞°·. double cheated!!

what can you expect from beginner writers... but the designs... _(:‚‹」∠)_

i guess Adam's death didn't shock me (i saw spoilers...) as much as how bad the pairings are!! when Renora started showing signs i had to take a break by reading two whole mangas before going back to it. i thought we finally had good girl/boy friendship!!（ꐦ𝅒_𝅒）what do you mean Ren raised her and they're both in love but Ren doesn't speak his feelings for some reason so Nora had to force a kiss on him?! everything was too creepy!! ‎

(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ didn't we have enough with Jaune and Pyrrha?! and suddenly Blake starts slapping Sun around... Bumbleby is ok but i thought this was a sapphic show!! where are my sapphics?! (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻

i could rant about many things but the general vibe i got was "ah, everything feels very creepy and cruel somehow" since season 4. i don't know how to explain it... i felt like i was seeing hell for the characters besides the actual problems (•﹏•;) it might be my trauma from An Oriental Odyssey but who knows...

either way this will be my last anon message ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ i need a break from RWBY... i want to do fanarts, but i'm still too shocked (￣◇￣;) thank you for reading my messages and accompanying me through this odyssey journey!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡₊˚⊹♡ if i come back, i'll definitely come back with a blog!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ stay strong friend!! wishing you good health and lots of money and love!! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Hello again!! It's so nice to see you, anon! Please take your time if you're coming back with a blog, and take care!

Long Post Ahead

I have not seen An Oriental Odyssey, but I might actually check it out now just to see because I enjoy xianxia/wuxia lol. But from what you said, I will be keeping a low expectation for the series if it shares that much similarities with RWBY.

I will also say that I'm personally fine with darker topics being explored in fictional work; my only requirements are that they're portrayed with proper research and with content warnings so that I know what will be included in the narrative (Banana Fish and Scum Villain's Self Saving System are two of my favorite series, with both containing very dark topics). In the case of RWBY, dark topics such as abusive relationships and cruelty in dynamics were not only very sloppily written, the writers refuse to even acknowledge how bad it is along with the FNDM (eg. Blacksun and Renora).

There's a lack of accountability when it comes to how they portray such topics, and even expecting us to think of it as a good thing without even giving us a choice to decide that ourselves. The writers blamed their animation team for the slap when criticism of it arise, and continues to not take abuse very seriously outside of the caricature portrayal of such things with Adam.

And yes, the writers are old enough to know better. They've been writing this series for more than ten years, which should have given them enough time to grow as both creatives and people, but I've also learned that age does not always equal maturity. M*les himself has once said a racial slur against African Americans when he was 26, and called the character Tifa Lockhart from the FF7 Remake game a prostitute for the way she looks and dressed, even though everyone knows that she is the primary inspiration for Yang. With such a person on the writing team, let alone leading it, it's no wonder a lot of RWBY's morals feels extremely juvenile and lackluster.

The matter of age when it comes to creating things aren't always attached to age, it's about how dedicated the creators are to their projects, which RWBY has not been for quite a while now.

Moving onto the matters of ships and their dynamic, yes I was disappointed with Renora as well. Just a correction though, Ren didn't really raised Nora; it's more like they took care of each other when they lost their families, with Ren taking more responsibility for them while Nora supports him emotionally. However, the relationship starts to sour (for me at least) was when Nora lost her emotional maturity and intelligence to basically invalidates Ren's turmoils. Forcing him to talk when he's not having a good time, forcing a kiss on him, then proceed to blame Ren for the relationship falling apart even though he tried to be rational in a crisis. She became extremely nasty as a person that I don't want to see her near Ren anymore for his own well-being!

This isn't uncommon in RWBY... every relationship (romantic or otherwise) are very shallow and disappointing. It's even worse when it comes to LGBT+ romance, because RWBY did not start or continued as a sapphic-friendly show. Blacksun was baited for years, until the writers saw that Bumbleby brings them more traction despite having very little believable hints that these two would ever be in a relationship with each other, even if you don't look at the very problematic elements of it (again, I don't mind such ships, I just dislike how these two are heralded as "cute and good" when the foundation of their romance is so toxic and they're stripped of their other personality traits).

Sapphic ships in RWBY (or just LGBT+ representations in general) are either for marketing purposes or shoddy afterthoughts. The writers were never going to treat such representations seriously because they themselves do not treat real life LGBT+ individuals with respect. If you go into the research of how Rooster Teeth's queer employees are treated, you will find the account of Kdin Jenzen being abused, hate crimed for being trans and fired by the company without aid. You're better off watching The Owl House, or even any queer manga out there.

Thank you again for the ask and reading my ramblings haha. Whatever it is you do going forward, I hope you have fun and stay safe! If we do meet again, I look forward to seeing your art! It was fun, and I wish you an abundance of wealth and love as well! Bye bye, anon! <3

[captain-kaeya-alberich]

This is me ranting about Khaenri'ah's undeserved destruction.

Okay, sentence filler out of the way.

"Well, Khaenri'ah was threatening Celestia's power, which is why their nation was destroyed. That's just how it is."

/( .□.)＼ ︵╰(°益°)╯︵ /(.□. /)

Explain WHY the HEXENZIRKEL still lives.

Explain WHY GOLD still lives.

❝The coven is comprised of powerful beings, with some possessing abilities that rival even the gods of Teyvat.❞

Gold is specified to be the one who brought destruction to Khaenri'ah with her experiments. YET Gold was not punished herself because she's STILL alive and dandy.

(╬ಠิ益ಠิ) It makes no sense to have The Hexenzirkel roam Teyvat alive and acting like Celestia cared about those who threatened their power, and then go suddenly genociding a whole damn nation.

Why doesn't the Goddess of Heavenly Principles go after the Hexenzirkel? Why not the gods of Celestia? It's well known that Hexenzirkel focused on the discovery of new magic and non-elemental magic. How is THAT not a threat to Celestia ᕕ(ò෴ó)ᕗ?!??!?!

What makes sense is that Celestia just wanted to flex their damn power and nuke a freaking nation as to fearmonger "non-worshipping" people.

They didn't care about power strength. They just wanted humans to lick their boots.

THIS IS WHY I SWND MESSAGES ON MY COMPUTER NOT MY PHONE OMG. ‎(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ *ahem* Giotto + hands🥺🥺

YOU LET ME HAVE FREE REIGN ON ANGST so welcome thank you for the request!! I hope you like being sad! also Giotto… I love him very much but also bc of the time era he’s from idk how to write anything accurately but I love him. also here’s assuming he’s not in HDWM like 24/7 and thus I think the cape is apart of that like Tsuna’s is. so he’s just in. y’know. nice shirt. striped vest. looks very handsome. no gloves lol this is long sorry BUT YEAH

character/s: giotto, reader-insert (gender-neutral)

word count: 444

warnings: alright angst, mentions of blood and other things, talks about reader killing their first person and whatnot

prompt: giotto + hands (body bonanza)

“Love.”

You looked so awfully tired, so small and vulnerable, curled up on the floor and leaning up against his desk.

Giotto knew, to begin with, you’d never particularly been a fighter. You did what you did, everything you did, for him. But you never really got in the line of fire, and he never forced you.

So, you’d seen plenty of blood before. All the dirt and grime that came with the job; you’d seen a lot. But you’d never been apart of it, a reason for it. Not like he was.

So, your shaky, bloodied hands set something off in him.

Seeing someone die was so severely different to killing someone, he knew that.

“Love.”

Giotto got to his knees, careful to not touch you, to not startle you. He finally got to see your face, and it only made the feeling in his chest tighter.

You looked so, so tired.

He held a hand out to you, and waited until you eventually dropped one of yours into his. The blood on your skin was dry. He had half the mind to wonder how long you’d been in here for, waiting for him.

With a deep breath, he tried to figure out just what to say. Asking you about it would only upset you further, he could tell. Even though he didn’t, you seemed to have the urge to tell him anyway. For his sake.

“While you were gone, someone was… I was on my own, so I…” You’d pursed your lips for a moment, thinking back on it. On how to explain it. “He’d said your name, and I thought… if I didn’t do my job, maybe you’d get hurt.”

You knew he likely wouldn’t, but you’d done it anyways, more for his safety than your own. Like usual. Because everything you did was for him.

“I’m sorry I was not around.”

Giotto could see tears welling up, so he averted his gaze, rubbing his thumb gently across your stained hands.

Saying it would only make this burden heavier on you, but he couldn’t help but think, with your small hand in his…

‘I’m sorry I made you a murderer like me’.

That wouldn’t work.

With a deep breath, he slowly pulled you up to your knees, and to his chest. He wrapped one arm around you securely, the other still holding your hand, between your chest and his.

“I’m glad you’re okay, my love. Thank you for working so hard. I love you no less than I did before this.”

He’d love you, no matter how many you ended up killing. After all, it’d never be the amount he had.

☘: you're angry at the world (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻

Dear Scott,

If you’re reading this then I guess things didn’t turn out the way either of us had hoped.

That’s life, isn’t it? You roll the dice and sometimes it works out. Sometimes it goes well. Sometimes you get to come home. And sometimes not.

I don’t blame you for being angry with the world. I don’t blame you if you’re angry with me either. This was my Big Idea after all.

Anger is a valid response when you’re frustrated, when you’re misled, when you’re attacked, or when life throws garbage at you. It’s normal and it’s human.

Anger is not always a bad thing; anger is what motivates us and energises us to create change. International Rescue would not exist if I had not been so angry at a world that took your Mother from me.

You are my son, my first son. You are a better man at half my age than I would ever have become. The anger is yours to do with as you will: use it to protect my boys now that I cannot, use it to right the world’s wrongs, use it to rescue others from suffering.

I love you, my boy: Now and Always.

Your father,

Jeff Tracy
