Do you not know that to-night, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway?

I can't say that this is something I've considered before, but I suspect that maybe Dracula deliberately chose this night, for this reason.

This gives the townspeople even more reason to be fearful - Jonathan doesn't know the danger he's in, of course, but they know that he's in danger, and everything we see of them suggests that they do not want him to come to harm. And here he is, going to Castle Dracula on the day that is the most dangerous for him to go.

And also, this is a day when surely Dracula himself will have more power - and, as will become pretty clear, power is something he is terribly fond of. Perhaps he wants Jonathan, too, to be scared. It's pretty clear, as time goes on, that Jonathan does believe in the supernatural things happening (after he sees the evidence, of course), and though he tries to hide it, he is frightened.

god honestly can you imagine being christopher diaz. your dad's so fucked in the head, he manages to turn choosing you into both the best thing he can do AND a way to hurt himself more.

You know what? I'm gonna say something that'll probably sound controversial but it's something I honestly Believe.

Black Sun would've been greater pandering than Bumbleby.

This isn't to say that Black sun is bad, I think Black Sun it makes sense and is a good ship, and I fucking love it, but I ship weird shit anyways.

I'm also not going to repeat how and why the Bees make sense, people more eloquent and patient than I have, and I don't want to waste my time mimicking them.

I will, however, say this.

Blake shared a Room with Yang for the entire time they were at Beacon, so about a semester, ~15 weeks, or 3-4 months before Blake met Sun.

Even assuming Blake spent every hour she could with Sun outside of school, she'd spend a majority of her time with her team, including Yang.

This would give her at least equal time between these blonds.

Then the fall happens, and she spends, let's say, three or four months with Sun in Menagerie and on the ship, before meeting back up with her team, thus giving Sun and Yang ample and equal time together.

Blake then spends time with her team, and Yang, going from Mistral to Atlas, and all the time then spend in Atlas.

So for CRWBY to have made Black Sun canon would've severely changed Canon, I believe for, the worse, even if the Bees didn't happen, because that would mean either we'd need to bring SSSN onto the main group, or Sun would have needed to not grow as a character from being with Blake for those months, or the relationship would've been a mute point because Sun returns to his team at the start of volume six.

This is not Anti-Black sun. I am a dirty, filthy multishipper, capable of seeing the aspects of nearly every ship on this fandom.

But I do think Canon RWBY would've been worse off with Black Sun.

in retrospect the way that fwhip talks about The Law is like very religious coded. specifically he says jimmy was the one to transcribe the law. like, what, was it divinely delivered to him??? ok

[letyukisayfuck]

the anachronisms in the translation.

on the one hand. they're sort of on theme for the sort of metanarrative that's going on. but on the other hand. we are coming dangerously close to kyon saying rizz and like you i am not here for that

i just don't like them! this is not my kyon and it's similar beef that i had to when this same guy handled intuition. just. worse now. but yeah i think if i had to read him saying rizz with my own two eyes i might slam my head against a wall actually

.........will I be stoned if I say I thought arcane season 2 was kinda meh

[tinogiehd]

people joke about george being homonormative but its actually getting problematic now because sapnap might feel pressured to have sex with a man (probably punz if catlyn lets him) even if he doesnt really want to just because george has created a toxic gay environment

i csnt tell if you're being silly funny or if you're genuinely worms-for-brains crazy but either way i laughed so you can live

[rarestones-aa]

just some rambling under the cut. don’t mind me.

i feel like i’m not as . . . creative as others here. i think i used to be when i was younger, but now i am not. i want to give steven some added depth, but it’s hard to do when i portray him the way i do — an open book, nothing to hide. i want to make him less perfect, but can’t figure out how to do it while remaining canon compliant. i want to give him lore, but i can’t seem to think of anything interesting. it’s a shame, because he’s such an important character to me, but it just feels like there’s no . . . excitement. like there’s no draw to my portrayal, nothing that makes him stand out, nothing that makes someone think, “wow, i REALLY want to write with them.” maybe it’s just me, but that’s how i’ve felt for a little while. i don’t know how to fix it.

and like it's not that i feel like they're maliciously excluding eddie or whatever, i'm frustrated about the fact that they just fucked up their planning to this degree. because unless it turns out in the next 2 eps that it's actually vital for eddie to be in texas rn either for chris or for plot reasons, they just fucked up the pacing of his arc and that pisses me off!!

[persephinae]

Oooo that's a good idea

the things that are reported matters. the language used matters. what is left out of the story matters.

i remember when i was a child internet safety was like "if you even hint at the country you live in, you're gonna get kidnapped and murdered", and nowadays it is encouraged or even necessary to give corporations every single personal detail if you want to use anything because if they can't sell your information they cry so hard they throw up
