#but I am not avoidant of confrontation

[public-trans-it-deactivated20240]

Just a heads up to people as a general PSA: I do absolutely vagueblog about people. It is 100% a thing I do.

However I DO NOT EVER vague blog about people in a place where they can see it! I will not vagueblog about someone in a discord server, in that same server (or any other server that person is in). I will not vagueblog on tumblr about someone who is following me.

I am absolutely a petty bitch. But I am usually pretty ACTIVE with my aggression. I can be passive aggressive, but I don’t aim it at the people responsible. At least not ever intentionally.

If you ever see a post of mine and think “Wait is it talking about me?” the answer is NO I AM NOT!

I hate reading the eah fandom wiki tbh. some takes/interprets on there are awful & something blatantly untrue like 😭 anyway I was looking at raven's main page & came across this little gem

"the only one" what??? I love Raven but since when was she the only one undertaking actions that directly oppose her destiny.

Hunter is vegetarian & spent his entire summer before legacy year sabotaging his dad's traps (and is, you know, dating Ashlynn). Darling is... well, Darling and is breaking every damsel in distress rule in the book. There's Ashlynn, who doesn't really care for her happily ever after and is dating Hunter against her destiny. And those are people who are conscious of the fact they're going against destiny, and are choosing to be themselves anyway. On the other hand, you have someone like Faybelle who loves cheerhexing, something that doesn't exactly scream Dark Fairy but she still actively wants her destiny.

What makes Raven different isn't that she does things that contradict her destiny but that she doubts the system itself. For someone like Hunter or Darling, fully abandoning their destiny isn't really an viable option since it doesn't occur to them Grimm isn't telling the truth. For Raven, is does.

She's in a unique position where she's one of the very few to know the Evil Queen isn't dead, which is what Grimm says happened to the general public, but rather trapped in the mirror prison. She knows Grimm has lied and isn't always truthful, the possibility that he's done so more than once isn't impossible. This doubt (and general dislike of her destiny) leads her to something more powerful; hope. Raven is again one of the few people who know about Bella Sister's unsigned page. Even though Grimm does everything in his power to squash her hope, it survives in a gnat, an inconsistency and what Giles tells her (through translated riddlish)

She's operating on more information that her classmates are and because of that is aware of that other possibility. She doesn't have any real proof or certainty about what will happen, but it's enough for her. She's willing to take that leap of faith, for that chance to be herself without compromise. That's why she doesn't sign.

I could be way off base, but I have been thinking about this since she said this and trying to figure out what moral? At the time, the best they could figure would be to follow Alyx’s path, but not make the mistakes she made. We now know not only was the story changed from what Jaune was there for, but Alyx wasn’t like the girl who’s in the story.

If there is some “moral” to be learned here, I did wonder if it was to respect and understand different people. Because that’s something up until this current chapter NONE of our main cast have done. RW.BY have been operating out of a story with people as a means to an end. They aren’t really people in their own right, just a way to progress forward. They never really ask anything about the Afterans, outside of asking Curious about ascension, and it’s not like they are a reliable source of information since they seem to have the ability to influence Afteran’s will and only will answer what is asked.

Jaune mentioned that Alyx was cruel and didn’t think the rules applied to her, and while they’ve not been cruel about it we’ve not seen anyone from Remnant treat the Afterans like actual people until (R)WBY listens to the Paper Pleasers. @professorspork spoke about Blake caring about the Paper Pleasers and speaking up for them, and it’s really the first time any of them think about the lives of the people there and not just getting home… Not that Jaune or Ruby agree that they are people.

Just because it’s a fairy-tale to them doesn’t mean it’s not real to the people there. It doesn’t mean they don’t have full lives, even if the visitors of Remnant don’t understand or agree with their culture. Ever After has shown Blake specifically that her culture is very important to her, and if there is some moral to be gained by Blake in this “story” is that understanding different cultures only enhances everyone and leads to greater cooperation. Almost like that’s a goal of hers...

Why is Dick and Babs calling each other specifically to leave angsty voicemail messages about how much they love each other but feel guilty and they can’t face the other right now, it’s my fault not yours, stop blaming yourself, such a peak character moment, when their breakup (written by the SAME WRITERS only 12 issues or so before) is so freaking bad?

(And then Dick runs off to join the mob and Babs literally flies all over the US in her new plane deploying the Birds of Prey at trouble)

God I love the two of them together so much but WOW do they both disappear into their own heads with self recrimination.

[limielle]

idk i feel like so much discourse could be easily minimized if people learned to say "i think" instead of "it is"

a spin off of this one... Seven Lives, Three Loves and Countless Lies

but for one day, all three of them remember their past lives, even outside the DGP

Fic in question

It starts with a song.

It's some kind of international festival, and Keiwa went out with Sara - there were many stages, many booths and many, many people from cultures all around the world. Truth to be told, a bit too crowded, and Keiwa was just about to tell Sara he might just go, when the music hit his ear. It... was a kind of music he had never heard before. Quite high-pitched, in fact. Wouldn't have been the kind of music he typically liked, but for some reason, it made him stop on his tracks. There was something about it--- He walked closer, and it was a booth full of Chinese ornaments, and an old man was sitting in front of a gramophone, playing a record - his eyes had caught Keiwa's, and he grinned, a crooked smile. "Like this music?" "I---" Keiwa stumbled on his words. "What is this?" "A recording from 1924, from the Beijing Opera. From a performer called Xiao Hu Li. Well, that was his stage name. But nevertheless. This is a performance of---" "Liu Hai Cuts Firewood." "Oh! So you know it?" Keiwa didn't. He did.

My dear tanuki, a whisper in his ear, gentle fingers on his face. A general with cold eyes, and a gentle woman on his side.

And---

He scrambled to his phone, recording a small part - before sending it to the group chat.

Truth to be told, they set this group chat up ages ago, and it was mostly the three of them talking - when Michinaga died and never returned, they didn't kick him out, and he didn't leave either. (Really, he never talked there to begin with.) (And not like they discussed important things there, so--- didn't matter, did it?)

He just sent it.

And then suddenly Michinaga actually wrote something.

[Michinaga:] what the fuck [Ace:] Oh how surprising. You actually wrote here something! [Neon:] ????? [Michinaga:] What the FUCK is this [Ace:] Liu Hai Cuts Firewood [Michinaga:] I KNOW THAT [Michinaga:] WHY DO I KNOW THAT [Neon:] Keiwa? [Keiwa:] Xiao Hu Li, huh [Ace:] Stage name [Michinaga:] a stupid one [Michinaga:] "little fox" bullshit [Ace:] You liked it last time [Michinaga:] 1. I did not [Michinaga:] 2. I'll kill you [Michinaga:] 3. what the fuck?! [Neon:] Why didn't you say anything?

The chat went silent.

[Neon:] Ace [Ace:] Would you have believed me, if I had said so? [Keiwa:] After we found out about your reincarnations, yeah [Michinaga:] your WHAT now [Ace:] Oh, this is what you get for playing for the opposing team [Ace:] You are left out from big revelations [Ace:] Try to keep up [Keiwa:] Was it only this one [Ace:] Hm? [Keiwa:] Back in China. Was it the only time you met us

Silence again.

[Keiwa:] ACE [Michinaga:] How many times have I killed you because I am about to make it one more [Neon:] HOW MANY TIMES

natm fandom doesnt talk abt larry enough in this essay i w

[clare-with-no-i]

okay but i'm still LOSING my MIND over the fact that in theogony james literally killed a man for lily’s sake like. not to save her life bc she wasn’t in danger anymore but just because he could see how tortured she was over the possibility that she’d done it. i feel like it’s such a great parallel with chapter 8 where we see him thinking about war and the innocence of the young boys who were fighting for the first time. he saw her in shock over the possibility that she’d taken someone’s life and just to relieve that burden from her he was the one to kill the man like WHAT!!!! it’s devotion to the max it’s love taken to it’s most extreme form like i would kill a man for you just to keep you steady what the fuck!!!! he is so !!!!!!!!! i have no words you are so insane for this i’m literally incoherent

"I would kill a man for you just to keep you steady" well I didn't prepare myself for HOZIER to enter my ask box today that's for damn sure!! certainly was not prepared to be bowled over by a blithe little sentence in an anon ask today!!!!
