#and no it's not that i like to take pictures at a certain angle™

[ladyinthebluebox]

i'm starting to sense a certain pattern here...

[strqyr]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, Ik Sacrifice wasn’t exactly written to be Raven’s theme but it’s kinda crazy how well it fits her. Like yes, it’s vague enough that it could apply to Cinder or Salem, this is not a new discussion at all. But the line “the moon will sadly watch the roses die in vain, lost no gain, but you're not taking me” hits harder after the flashback we got in V9

yeah, 'sacrifice' is definitely... it's one of those songs, ya know? doesn't really strike as For This Character Only. it has range; it plays during the V2 credits, which were in part preceded with team rwby not having answers on who the Mystery Girl™ on the train was (which. only really leaves either raven or neo, but they've already met neo before, so...?) and followed by the after credits scene that fully reveals raven; but, as a leitmotif it has only appeared in two scenes, at least based on this video.

"the moon will sadly watch the roses die in vain, lost no gain, but you're not taking me" definitely hits harder, especially when 'when it falls', the next song in line as the V3 opening, has lines like these:

"there'll be no rest. there'll be no love. there'll be no hero in the end who will rise above. and when it ends, the good will crawl. the shining light will sink in darkness, victory for hate incarnate, misery and pain for all when it falls." // "swallowed by the darkness, soon the moon is bathed in black. the light of hope is taken and discontent is the contagion."

and more from 'sacrifice': "you can't have my life, i'm not your sacrifice. you can try, but i'm free, and you won't conquer me. i won't crawl, most of all, i won't fall for you."

like. this paint such a vivid picture of what might have happened on summer's mission: perhaps she fell into a grimm pool trying to fight salem (or someone else, idk) -> "the shining light will sink in darkness // swallowed by the darkness // the light of hope is taken" and in raven's mind, it was all pointless: "the moon will sadly watch the roses die in vain, lost no gain // there'll be no hero in the end who will rise above." and that while the good (summer) will crawl and fall, she won't. she will be free of it all, not wanting anything to do with either ozpin or salem.

and if ozpin, without outright saying it but left it up in the air, allowed all of team strq to think that silver eyes were the answer, that summer could end it all and take the fight up to salem if given an opportunity—though i'm certain had he known about summer's intentions, or if summer actually brought it up with him first, his answer would have been a strong "No"—, well. you've got your potential 'sacrifice' angle right there, because that's how it easily comes across; ozpin willing to risk a life of a silver-eyed warrior for a chance to defeat salem without properly informing them what it is they're really up against.

anyway. after all these years, 'sacrifice' continues to live in my head rent-free. amazing song. hopefully we'll get the answers to it one day lmao

OKAY TUMBLR, I NEED YOUR HELP

I cannot, for the LIFE of me, figure out the placement of Derek Hale's loft. Now, I'm not very good at perspective or object permanence, but I stg this damn set keeps changing everytime it's on camera, just like a lot of things in teen wolf

Now take a look at this. This is the baseline of what Derek's loft looks like, or at least what I pictured it to look like. But when I looked at Google to get other angles of the room, it just keeps changing.

Let's break it down

Here's the most common layout, the main objects being the couch and table set, the window in the wall, his bed, the table in front of the window, the stairway, the hole in the wall (which leads to some elevator or smth, idk I don't think they ever acknowledged it in the show), and the door to the loft; which is behind the camera in this photo.

This is proven in this scene, in which Peter Hale enters the scene in his Overly Dramatic Peter Hale Entrance™.

But this layout seems to change every season or so.

In these two scenes, the door is to the left of the window and next to the stairway. Now don't get me wrong, this could just be another big, metal sliding door in his loft. I'm willing to accept that. But I feel like that would be a little inconvenient and weird, but I'll accept it.

But this very blurry picture is what fucks with me. I don't think I need to say anything, this speaks for itself.

This one I'm willing to forgive since we don't really get a clear view of the stair-to-desk-to-window ratio length in the first photo, but it still makes me a little confused.

BUT THESE. OH HO, DON'T GET ME STARTED.

Now listen, and I HOPE this is the case, but these could just be screen shots of unfinished or scrapped layouts of the loft. But I mean come ON. I found these with the rest of the loft photos in Google so I'm bringing them up anyway.

In conclusion, there could be a million ways to explain this. I could just be really bad at perspective and not be able to look at a room and remember where everything is. I'm willing to accept that. Or, maybe Derek or the directors just wanted to change the room every once in a while like normal people. Sure, that'll be fine by me. But Teen Wolf is also known to not be very persistent with certain aspects of the show. Trust me, I know. It just makes it a little hard to understand the layout in order to draw or something.

Or I'm being a huge bitch baby and making this into a big deal. I did practically just make an entire Ted Talk on Tumblr about something in a show that doesn't impact anything in the plot. I'm willing to accept that also.

Thank you, whoever may have read all of this, for listening and, if you want, I'd appreciate if someone could give any explanation about this to my dumbass, literally you can say anything. Ty Ty bestie 😘���

Headcanons for Maknae Line with a Black!S/O- Non Yan Edition

A/N: Hey hey y’all! Once again, I hope I don’t disappoint with these.  I just thought of all the things I, as a Black woman, would appreciate in a relationship and attributed those things to them. And just because I only attribute a specific thing to a specific person, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to all of them by default. I know right now’s a pretty sensitive time, so I hope these help someone in some way. Feel free to let me know if anything written here makes anyone uncomfortable or anything. Yandere edition of everyone is next! Hope you enjoy! :) Minnie Mouse:

Another worshiper of yours

Thinks you’re the prettiest creature to ever walk the Earth

Is obsessed with your hair

Likes to watch you fuss with it

Through Careful Observation™, he eventually learns how to help you with it

Loves to run his fingers over your scalp as he oils it for you

Really a fan of Havana twists on you

Honestly just likes the word

Doesn’t know much about the culture initially, but is very eager to learn

Makes you teach him what certain words and phrases you use with your family mean

Is very excited to meet them

Is shy at first, but in no time everyone loves him

Loves to take trips to the beach with you

Enjoys rubbing sunscreen into your skin

Speaking of, he insists you wear it whenever you’re going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time

Is very, very protective of you 

Though normally he may be but smol, he will protect you against anyone

Then he’s not so smol

Another not so great cook, but at least he’s pretty coordinated, so he can help manage ingredients and the like in the kitchen

Has grown to like collard greens 

Loves you so much, you are his Chocolate Queen™

Tae Tae:

Would honestly look so amazing with a Black S/O (In my opinion)

Since Tae Tae is a little on the tanner/darker side himself, I think whatever your skin tone is, you two would compliment each other so well 

He notices this and mentions it all the time

“Jagi, we look good together”

LIVES to compliment you

Like, you can be having a conversation about...I dunno, the fact that koalas are marsupials and he’ll just up and mention how pretty he thinks you are

He’s so random

You love him for it

Thinks you’re a living work of art

Takes a ridiculous amount of pictures of you

From different angles, with different lighting and different filters

He says that since he has been blessed enough to have you, a goddess, by his side, he wants to “capture every moment of your beauty”

It’s so cheesy and unnecessary but, again, you love him

Can’t cook for anything but loves to wrap his arms around your waist while you do

A big fan of whispering cute (and sometimes naughty ohOOhoH) things in your ear to distract you

Thinks it’s cute when you’re frustrated

Is working hard to educate himself about your culture

Is very in tune with your emotions and is also very sensitive, so he avoids saying anything potentially triggering or insensitive like the plague

Like Joonbug, big hands make for good massages

Says it often, but he truly loves and adores you and wants you to be happy with him

Kookie:

Thinks you’re so pretty

Is literally the softest, sweetest boy ever

He’s genuinely amazed by you and your beauty

Thinks you’re so unique and different from anyone he’s ever seen

Adores you so much

Likes to lick you?? For some reason???

Says he’s trying to see if he can taste actual chocolate

Is super disappointed when he can’t 

Really likes the look of box braids on you

Thinks it’s fun to play with your hair and wrestle it into all different kinds of designs

Wants you to do the same to him

He quickly learns how to help you style and maintain your hair like the ace he is

Doesn’t mind aiding you at all

Is already an R&B fan so he loves to serenade you with your favorite songs

Doesn’t care if you can sing or not, he just wants you to join in and be silly with him

Is the quickest and most diligent in his learning about you and your culture

Has great respect for your parents and family

Desperately wants to show that he can take care of you

At the same time, he loves how independent and strong you are

Likes exercising with you

Will suplex anyone who dares to disrespect you even the slightest

Really, really loves how bright and glowy you look in the sun

Would bathe you in pure sunlight if he could

Is a pretty good cook, so he’ll be more than happy to learn from and help you in the kitchen

Would give you the world if he could, so be gentle with the baby, ok Queen?

General Headcanons: (These apply for both the Hyung and Maknae Line)

Won’t touch your hair without your express permission at first

Of course, none of them want to make you feel uncomfortable

Asks you so many questions about where you’re from and how people there live

Very invested in you and your well-being, especially if that involves any concerns you may be having about your skin or history

All of them will literally fight anyone who says anything outta pocket to you

Very protective of you

Also very aware of how strong and capable you are

None of them want you to feel like you are being coddled, but also don’t want you to feel like you have to always rely on yourself

You give them Black History Lessons™

All are aware of the history Black women have of being mistreated and/or unappreciated 

That’s why each of them are sure to make you feel as respected and appreciated in the relationship as possible

Will honestly blow all their money on the appropriate products for your skin and hair if they have too

Yes, even ridiculously expensive quality detangling conditioner 😒

Each likes to learn the slang of your language so conversations with you and your family can be more natural

Each has learned so much from you, and want to keep learning more

Look, they all just love you so much and want to be there for you so just let ‘em ok?
