Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?

Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.

I hope this is the right meme.

More silliness below.

This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.

The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.

You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.

Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.

I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.

Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.

Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.

Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.

The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.

One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.

They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.

You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!

Extremely interesting and delicious dynamic I didn't know I needed: Oscar and Ozpin being on good terms but that very bond means they are torturing each other without even MEANING TO.

Also Ren calling them both YOU TWO and being sweet and supportive of the both of them. Best boi after Oscar and Ozpin tbh. Ozpin being a de facto team member of JNPR makes me really happy, even if it's because of unfortunate circumstances.

most baffling response to the child soldiers post is definitely “they’re not really child soldiers, though, and it’s like how for physically demanding pastimes like ballet you need to start training young so thirteen is actually pretty old, and the students aren’t actually meant to be fighting in real combat anyway”

the huntsmen academies admit seventeen-year-olds—or younger teens with their guardian’s permission. all of the adults, including ozpin, refer to huntsmen students as “children.” (curiously, salem is the only character who ever gets flak in the fandom for calling the nineteen-year-olds children. i wonder why that is 🤔)

from the mouths of the children themselves:

WEISS: Well, Ruby’s still just a kid. BLAKE: She’s only two years younger. We’re all kids. YANG: Well. Not anymore. I mean, look where we are—in the middle of a war zone and armed to the teeth!

the narrative makes it very emphatically clear that these “warriors” are children. they are consistently referred to as children, and the only one who ever objects to being called a child is yang, on the grounds that children don’t fight in wars.

secondly: “when ozpin's predecessor founded the schools, he built them around the relics to act as a fortress. not only would they be easier to defend, but they would constantly be surrounded by trained warriors.” not only are the huntsmen students expected to face real combat (mountain glenn is explicitly considered a war zone), they are the first line of defense for the relics inside the schools. the point of putting the relics in the academies is so that the students will defend them should salem attack. which is exactly what happens at beacon, because the system works as designed.

thirdly: children die at these schools. gretchen rainart died on a training mission. younger students—the ones attending combat schools, which begin at thirteen if not younger—also sometimes die on training missions involving real grimm:

She had some idea why. The research she had done on her teacher had turned up a story Aurelia would probably much rather forget. A student of hers had died on a training mission at Patch Combat School, lost in a scuffle with Ursa Grimm. The school didn’t hold her responsible—she had managed to protect her fifteen other students, and it was all part of the risk. But there was plenty of blame to go around. The child’s parents vowed to have her pay for the death of the girl, and Aurelia’s official statement was, “I blame myself. She should still be with us. She was always so capable, perhaps I put too much faith in her to take care of herself while I got the others to safety.” The girl had been the same age as Trivia, only fifteen.

the huntsmen academies are more intensive, but new students are expected to show up already capable of mowing through hordes of grimm on day one, because the combat schools also send students into the field with minimal supervision (one teacher, sixteen students 14-15 years old, involved in a “scuffle” with grimm). and that teacher leaving one student behind to cover the retreat of the other fifteen and herself isn’t considered to be negligence—she isn’t held to be at fault for this student’s death—because being killed by grimm is “all part of the risk” of attending a combat school.

which again, enroll students 13-16 years old, if not younger.

so yeah, they’re child soldiers. in the real world we define child soldiers as anyone under the age of eighteen recruited for participation in military activities; in rwby it was a deliberate narrative choice for the huntsmen academies to begin at seventeen, for the characters to consistently refer to the students as “children,” and for one of the major villain’s motivations be that his seventeen-year-old sister enrolled at beacon academy and died on a training mission. the text is very clear about the situation.

I know some people have already started latching onto the idea that Luis was actually an Ozcarnation and that’s why Ozpin accepted Jaune into Beacon because stable time loop and predestination and Oz always knows everything and yadda yadda yadda.

But personally, I really think/hope that’s not the case.

First, I’d like to remind everyone that the originally idea of an Oz having wound up in the Ever After with Alyx was born out of a means of which Alyx could turn out to STILL be trapped in the Ever After. As in, Alyx and the Oz couldn’t get out and the Oz eventually died and reincarnated back on Remnant and that’s how we get The Girl Who Fell Through the World while Alyx is still trapped in the Ever After. But now that it seems that Alyx (or Luis) really DID make it back to Remnant, that originally theory isn’t necessary anymore. So aside from Luis vaguely resembling one of the Oz’s we’ve seen in flashback, we don’t really have anything to go off of for this theory.

And more than that, I am really, really, REALLY hoping that when Team RWBY and co. finally make it back to Remnant and reunite with their family, friends and allies, it turns out that Oz has absolutely, positively NO FUCKING IDEA what the Ever After even IS.

I want Oz to see Team RWBY walk out of this random, freaky portal possibly sporting a few strange transformations, Jaune looking inexplicably twenty+ years older and riding a giant jackalope, possibly a not-actually-dead and maybe-part-grimm Summer Rose, that one mute girl with the parasol who mugged Oscar once, at least one talking animal, and who knows WHAT else...

...and be just as completely and utterly BAFFLED as everyone else.

I want to see the man who has spent the entire series being the ‘guy who always knows something’ (even if he’s not forthcoming with what he knows) be entirely flabbergasted by what Team RWBY and co. explain to him and the others.

I want to hear Ozpin comment in a totally flummoxed tone: “So this is what being in the dark feels like...”

Again, Oz has ALWAYS been the guy who knows something about what’s going on. And I think it would be AWESOME if the story just subverted the hell out of that with the whole Ever After thing.

Yangs first conversation with raven in v5 is probably the signal most important conversations for yangs overall development in v6-8 and I’m not afraid to say it.

It sets up yangs reaction after the lost fable, it why she doesn’t trust ironwood in v7 and goes behind his back to talk to Robin. Its the reason she lead the B team to help the people on the ground instead of sticking with ruby and her plan.

It all stems from that one conversation.

Didn’t have the time to play the new event too much, but after starting recently it made me realise how much I miss the previous year’s one 🥹 The crew and their interactions were just perfect and I absolutely adored the set design and storytelling of each island and domain! Even though some puzzles were, well, a bit confusing at first hahah, I had a lot a lot of fun!

Especially because storytelling in those domain was peak Genshin content for me, I was absolutely stunned by the way they showed each character and make a perfect break down of them

And for the whole month the event was lasting I always had things to do there and explore, I’m pretty sure I only did 75% of the puzzles actually, cause there was just so much to do!! But I didn’t feel bad about it, I really enjoyed the fact I always knew there is something to do and play around with, and the story was just such a cherry on top! Story and design-wise of my absolutely favourite events so far 🙇🏻‍♀️

Edit: did you also notice all the character in the event were featured in all the events mentioning Scaramouche? 👀

Back in the 70s, Marvel produced a comic adaptation of MGM’s Wizard of Oz as well as an adaptation of The Marvelous Land of Oz drawn in the same style. They’re both a lot of fun and I highly recommend the Marvelous Land adaptation to Oz fans, but there was something I noticed when going through these comics...

You know that thing comic artists will sometimes do where they have a female characters butt pointed to the camera for no good reason?

Well these comics do a lot of that. But not to Dorothy! No...

To the Tin Man.

These books took every possible opportunity to have the Tin Man bending forward with the camera pointed at his back and his posterior drawn in loving detail.

This right here is true equality.
