Blake hid her ears seemingly without any consequences, but I think it'd be far more interesting if constantly wrapping her ears in a bow cramped them or affected her hearing. It'd make her choice to pass as human more poignant, and her decision to embrace her faunus traits far more liberating and satisfying

It also makes me wonder how many faunus choose to pass despite the harm they're doing to their bodies and how faunus with traits that can't be hidden, like giant scorpion tails or bat wings, might feel about those than can pass easily

There's so little shown about faunus culture and intercommunity politics and average lives, and it never not makes me sad

#rwde #i think a lot abt beacon blake and how her hidden status might have affected her behavior #its weird how different kinds of faunus can reflect different marginalized people #faunus that can pass as human parallel both white passing poc and closeted and/or lowkey queers #'scary' faunus can easily be victims of the dangerous predator stereotype similar to black men #i once saw someone compare the mermaid faunus not being at the rally to wheelchair users being locked out of unaccomodating places #faunus really are a catch all for marginalized people lmao #if only they werent written by clowns from hell
