#maidens are falling for me

can't stop daydreaming about a soulslike zelda game yall i'm so normal about this

thinking about haven, ruby sounding just like her mother and that being enough for raven to open a portal so cinder can shoot a fireball at ruby.

it's a grudge thing. both raven and cinder have a grudge against a rose.

a different kind, of course, and for different reasons, but at its core... it's there. and when i think about cinder, being told by salem to not kill ruby but finding ways to circumvent her orders, ultimately succeeding with ruby falling into a black void, something everyone thought meant death...

it wasn't, though. ruby is back on remnant, same as ever but also different, in a way. a process has happened, even if it's not outwardly apparent.

then there's summer's mission that raven was present for. taking into account summer's attitude towards raven before the mission had truly even began, the way she was framed during the scene, and the way raven views summer in the present, safe to say something went terribly wrong between the two; their friendship completely broken as the result.

it doesn't really matter who started it, but if these parallels are intentional, my gut says summer—just as cinder's grudge against ruby began at the top of the beacon tower, summer shot first; "if you're going to shoot me, shoot me. that was insulting."

the fight ends just as it did between cinder and ruby at the bridge, with summer hanging above a pool of darkness, with raven the opportunity to take the high road, to be the bigger person, only to be the cause for why summer ultimately fell.

and maybe, had raven stayed around for longer, she might have seen summer crawl her way back out from what everyone believes to be a certain death. of course, there's always the possibility that raven knew afterwards thanks to her semblance, but we haven't been given any strong reason to believe raven has a bond with summer, no confirmation of any kind despite there being opportunities to do so.

in a way, i would find it poetic if she didn't. raven's semblance is so tied to her 'one save' rule (no matter how bullshit it may or may not be when push comes to shove) that there's something about her saving those she's bonded with, but the one person she isn't gets the opposite.

It started with that dead guy next door book but there has been a huge boom in 'book titles that make me think the love interest will be some type of Creature but it's just a boring dude who owns a small business or whatever. but there's also a Creature. peripherally.' *Chuck Tingle voice* Not pounded in the ass by the undead entity haunting my home because a) they are incorporeal and b) they are not the love interest probably because they're incorporeal and everyone wants their romance novels to be [spicy/insert whatever juvenile term we're using this week instead of just saying it has sex in it]. False advertising and cowardice.

Isagi and Bachira running into Chigiri and Kunigami in the halls: so how is Reo taking the break up?

Chigiri and Kunigami thinking about Reo ripping all of the bristles out of his toothbrush: um… great…

i'm still fucking thinking about faulkner silt verses i haven't stopped all day. i just keep intermittently replaying parts of the ep and working my way thru the transcript. just now i was trying to explain to rafi how elated i was about everything that went down during this ep and rafi, horrified, was like "BUT I - I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE SUICIDAL????" and i was like "rafi. listen to me. i cannot express enough how much the suicide attempt was POSITIVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT."

Little old silly Jaune, who doesn't fit in the story neatly, finding inside himself this transgressive, all-encompassing compassion and believing in Cinder, whom nobody has ever unconditionally loved or believed in, which resurrects her own lost fantasies and leads to vindicating her belief in the Maiden power, that one power she already has, is - to indulge in Tumblr parlance - everything to me.

[ @the-gray-maiden // for glynda ]

"You know, I'm glad you decided to stalk me."

She dredged a wan smile up from somewhere, cupping both hands around the mug of coffee the lone serving girl had slid across the counter just a moment ago. “I’ll admit,” Glynda said wryly, “I didn’t expect to find you here. But it’s always good to see a familiar face.” A beat. Her mouth curved down. “A friendly face.”

The edge in her tone wasn’t meant for Lia. Glynda could only hope it would be taken for mere fatigue—stress—goodness knew she had no shortage of both. She exhaled a lengthy sigh and watched the steam rising from her coffee dance. “I just came down to… well. It’s a few weeks since we last heard from Wintergreen. Times being what they are…”

None of the outlying communities to the north of Vale had been lost since the night Beacon fell—yet. Glynda felt the weight of that yet on her shoulders every day. But she’d arrived in the morning to find nothing amiss except that the local relay tower had been damaged by a recent storm, and that was quite easily fixed.

“Have you been,” she added curiously, “staying here? Or are you just passing through?”

FIGURED IT OUT THE COMMENT WAS JUST TOO LONG (there was so much genius to comment on!!!) SO I SUBMITTED IT IN TWO PARTS

In light of Sethos' birthday being soon (~2h30 in my timezone) I shall Be Looking Very Respectfully

@unholy-fall-maiden continued from here!

The short woman was almost like a cat. Without warning at all, she was sitting on the lap of the Maiden, leaning slightly against her, and clearly unapologetic of how bold and clingy she could get.

By her exposed shoulders or her face alone, it seems Neo was slightly cold, albeit distracted by looking at the TV's screen to follow whatever Cinder was watching.

see emo musicians are the perfect proof that you don’t have to have a marketable name to be popular. i mean sure harry styles was somehow magically born with the name ‘styles’ and he’s famous but it’s nice to know that you can have a cringefail name like gerard or a horrible surname like stump or wentz and still be qualified as famous and amazing
