Good afternoon Bridgy. Once more I humbly request the next part of either Blind!Weiss, Transfer Student or the Whiterose Penpals au pretty pretty please? Have a nice day!

(Penpal it is)

Weiss shook her head as she watched Ruby and Yang off to the side of the cafeteria, still having a hard time believing that her penpal was going to be attending Beacon with her. Though, she couldnt be too upset that Ruby never told her, afterall, it was Ruby’s dream to attend and the fact that she had permission to attend much sooner than others was still a miracle. Her eyes started to glance around the room as she looked around at the other students getting ready for bed before orientation, stopping at Pyrrha as she watched her. Alone. 

“Told ya you’d make a friend, Rubes,” Yang said as she lightly hit Ruby’s shoulder. “And maybe if you play your cards right-” 

“Its not like that!” Ruby exclaimed as she pulled away from her sister. “I dont like her like that, she’s just a friend. Nothing more.” 

Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and focused on Ruby and Yang again, starting to regret meeting the sisters. “You both know that people are trying to sleep, right?” 

“See?” Ruby said as she nudged Yang. “You’re being loud. I’m going to take a small walk, I’ll be back later, okay?” 

Weiss paused for a moment as she watched Ruby walk off, starting to get a bit nervous. “Will she be okay?” 

Yang nodded and sighed. “Yeah, we’re just missing the day she’d normally visit mom’s grave. But she’ll be fine after getting some air and grieving as she needs to.” 

“Shouldnt you go after her?” 

“If she doesnt come to bed in an hour, I will,” Yang said as she walked off. “But for now, I’m going to try to meet up with my friends and see if I can meet anyone else. We’ll have a long day tomorrow and it’ll be nice to have a plan on who you’d want to team up with.” 

Weiss nodded, continuing to watch Ruby as she left the cafeteria to make her way to the courtyard. It had only been a short few years that they’d been penpals, but she’d learned more about Ruby in a single night than she did in four years of writing, calling, and texting. With a heavy sigh, Weiss picked herself up and started to make her way out to follow Ruby, unable to let her deal with it on her own. 

She slowly made her way out of the cafeteria and to the courtyard, slowly making her way over to Ruby as she sat next to a tree, looking up at the moon. She stopped just before the tree, not wanting to get closer until Ruby spoke to her. 

“You didnt need to follow me.” 

“No, but… you looked like you could use someone and I did say I was going to keep you from failing out.” Weiss made her way to Ruby’s side and sat down next to her. “Besides, if I let my penpal be out here alone, what does that say about me?” 

Ruby looked over at her. “Are we still penpals now? I mean, we’ve met in person and we’ll be attending class together.” 

“I’m not sure I can call us friends yet.” 

“Right…” 

Weiss sighed and looked up at the moon and the stars, unused to the view she had of them here in Vale. A smile crossed her lips a bit as she relaxed. “I always loved looking up at the stars at home. Though, the sky is different here than in Atlas.” 

“Different how?” Ruby asked as she wiped away a couple tears. 

“The sky seems a bit clearer, less clouds tonight than most Atlas nights. The stars are different this time of year. The moon feels closer and a bit more… whole when you look at it.” Weiss pulled out her scroll and started to pull up the star charts of the Atlas sky, her heart already longing for home. “This is my first time away from home and I already miss the Atlas sky.” 

“Then why leave? Sounds like you just want to go back.” 

“I do, but… I… needed… needed to get away.” Weiss sat her scroll down and stared up at the stars, her heart starting to ache. “That part doesnt matter. What does is that you shouldnt be alone. We have a long day ahead of ourselves and you’ll need all the rest you can get.” 

“I’ll be fine.” 

“Will you?” 

“I… yeah.” Ruby sighed and started to push Weiss away. “You should get some rest though, I’m sure you’ve had a long day traveling.” 

Weiss slowly got up. “Then get some sleep soon, alright? As your penpal and maybe friend, I dont want to see you failing out already.” 

Ruby smiled a bit. “Alright, I’ll be back in soon.” 

Weiss flashed a small smile at Ruby as she started to make her way back to the cafeteria to rest. She slowed her walk as she walked back in, looking around at all the students again. Pyrrha was nowhere to be seen, presumably with a few friends she may have made. The room was finally starting to quiet down, a small relief washing over her when she had a moment of not being bombarded by men who wanted to date her for her name. She laid down on her bedroll and picked up her scroll once more as she flipped through her apps until she came to a small list she made of all the things she wanted to do at Beacon. 

Get a huntress license.

Be on a team with Pyrrha.

Make a real friend.

Try a new hobby. 

She quickly crossed off “Make a friend” before making sure her alarms were set for the morning.

my nearly 10 yr old computer i bought for heavensward seems to have struggled through the benchmark somehow... nenelas still cute even in upgraded graphics

After I made the wedding dresses for Franletta's wedding for @weirdthoughtsandideas I kind of got inspired and since Pinterest boarding is addicting...

...I did what I do since I am obsessed with DCLA weddings and Pinterest

Here's the board!

How I imagine the whole thing that Vilu would be the one waking down the aisle so she gets the bouquet so Fran gets a corsage. I also gave them matching wedding and engagement rings, I am not the most familiar with w|w engagement on who gets the ring in that situation so in all fairness, they both get one.

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

why do i keep seeing whole videos on advice for artfight from “veterans” or whatever. here’s all the advice you need:

you don’t need to draw every day

you don’t need to fully render every drawing, sketches still count and the person receiving it will still love it

you don’t need a fully polished ref sheet for every single character, having a basic one or even just a colour palette along with whatever other art you’ve done works fine in most cases

you don’t need to draw a fully rendered piece every single day do not burn yourself out or injure yourself for funny little internet points good lord

boom done there’s your 15 minute video

[bananonbinary]

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.
