Get To Know Me Tag Game

I was tagged by the lovely @gyokujyn, thank you friendo!!

1. How did you get your nickname (or url)?

There's nothing especially deep to it tbh, my name is Kestrel and my go-to username is kestrelfeather (yes I know its a Warrior Cats name it haunts me every day) but it was taken already

2. What's the last thing that made you cry?

Not to trauma dump on this here Tumblr post but tbh I need to get better at actually feeling my feelings, because I don't remember the last time I cried, and it's not because I'm living my best life or anything it's because I bottle my feelings like a fine wine 😅🙃

3. What's your latest guilty pleasure?

I try not to feel guilty about things that being me joy but it is absolutely my shameless Self-insert OC created to date Bucky Barnes and is almost definitely the Nonbinary equivalent of a Mary Sue but they make me happy GOD DAMMIT Cringe culture is DEAD

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

So despite not being a sporty kid I've actually played a few! Itty bitty baby Kes played soccer, Tee Ball, and Softball at varying times, and did Ballet, jazz, and tap for like a year or two. But that all stopped when I turned 7 and FINALLY talked my parents into letting me take horseback riding lessons, and I did that for 11.5 years. I absolutely LOVED riding, and would ABSOLUTELY still be doing it, but unfortunately it's time and money I don't have so I just stare longingly.

5. What are your pet peeves?

People who don't chew with their mouth closed talk with their mouth full my mother even though she denies it, kids who come into the textbook distribution room I work in and go "I need a book" but when i ask them for a title, class, teacher, literally any information that woukd help me get them the correct book they just say "I don't know".

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Eyes. I suck at eye contact but if someone has pretty eyes I take notice

7. What is your eye color?

Great question tbh. Somewhere between blue and green, like a sort of teal-y color.

8. What super specific trope or genre is your kryptonite?

In non-fanciction settings: Gothic and Cosmic horror, action is fun, the fact that Librivox audiobooks of novels in the public domain are easy to find and extremely accessible, it's given me a strong love for classical literature, Picture of Dorian Gray is my favorite.

In Fanfiction settings: inject that Hurt/Comfort directly into my VEINS--. I'm also a big fan of any and all forms of Nonsexual intimacy.

9. What is your superpower?

As a Props Artisan I can make anything out of anything. I love making props from found objects, especially weapons. I was on a production of Romeo and Juliet and got to make all sorts of fun found object weapons because it was a post-apocalyptitc world

Some examples:

10. Which fictional world would you be happy to call home?

I know I would like. Instantly die. But I would love to live as a half-blood in the Percy Jackson world tbh.

11. What are your hobbies?

Listening to audiobooks and video essays, writing, learning to draw, video games, and crafting.

12. Do you have any pets?

I have one Dog, an 11 year old rat terrier mix named Peanut who owns my heart ❤️ I used to have pet land snails too, but unfortunately they have all passed on.

Bonus Peanut. Look at this little face how could you see this and NOT want to hand over all your worldly possessions to her:

13. What is your biggest toxic trait?

Oh jeez. I have a stubborn streak, but can also be really selfish.

14. Is there anything you're afraid you won't accomplish?

Oh BOY is there. My dream is to work Props for a Marvel movie and I worry I'll never get there. Also I'm just in general worried I'm never going to get a job in theatre/film which is my dream because it's the job I want, what I love, and what I went to school for and I'm scared I'll never get there.

15. What's number one on your bucket list?

The aforementioned dream of working on a Marvel movie!

After a long weekend, which included Carlos eating too much sugar and running around with a ghost bassist, and catching his daughter with her ghost boyfriend, Ray Molina rubbed his tired eyes as he made his way to his desk. He loves his kids more than anything in the world, but he definitely wasn't prepared for them to be close friends with 3, not 1, but 3 ghost rockstars. It was a lot of work to say the least plus he had no clue where the boundaries laid with this sort of thing. Should he be ok with it? Should he let his kids be so attached to entities that don’t exist in reality? 

He wasn’t sure. But, if there was one thing Ray was sure about, it was that this is the happiest he had seen his kids since his wife passed away. Especially Julie. And that was probably all the doings of one particular ghost: Luke Patterson. 

He had known that Luke and Julie shared chemistry; He saw it on stage almost every weekend. But, he didn’t know that they had acted on that said chemistry. He thought it was just some harmless flirting and songwriting. But, boy, was he wrong about that. Because just the other night, he caught his daughter and the ghost guitarist on top of the grand piano in the studio engaging in some not-so-rated-PG-13 activities. 

Ray had been prepared to deal with that one day. After all, his daughter is 16; that in itself calls for hormones and drama. But, what he wasn’t expecting, was it to happen with someone who isn’t human. 

Ray sighed as he sat down at his desk with his cup of coffee. Besides the challenges that occurred this weekend, he has a lot to catch up on work-wise this morning. So much so, that he didn’t even notice the piece of paper that laid out in front of him. 

Ray raised his eyebrow as he picked it up in his hands. It wasn't his handwriting that’s for sure, he could actually read his handwriting, and he definitely didn’t remember putting it there. 

Dear mr. molina, 

First of all, thank you for being chill about this. I know you werent exactly expecting youre daughter to fall in love with a ghost; neither was i to be honest with you. 

Oh, so that’s what this is. A letter from Julie’s ghost boyfriend. Add that to the list of things Ray Molina wasn't prepared to handle. As much as he was caught off guard, Ray found himself chuckling at the last sentence (that and the incorrect use of the word “you’re”). At least they were on the same page on one thing.

And just a warning before i begin: i havent written an essay in 25 years so you know what youre in for. But i juet want to say, i love youre daughter. She-she’s my brightest burning star-literally. She’s like my sun, without her i wouldnt be here. I wouldnt be playing music or exist the way i do. And she makes me feel alive agaon. I know this might be a bit too personal but i felt a heartbeat when i kissed her the other day. That hadnt happened before. Mr molina, i just want ro love your daughter the way she loves me, but even more. I just want to show her how much power and talent she has and how beautiful she is. She doesnt believe me  most of the time but im going to make damn sure that she does one day. I’ll keep that promise to yiu. So yeah, i love your daughter. And i hope you’ll let me love her back. 

From,

Luke Patterson.

p.s sorry for the incorrect grammar that was never my strong suit

Ray chuckled again, except this time, there were tears that went along with it. He knew his daughter had this incredible amount of love in her heart for everyone around her, but he would never have guessed that she had the capacity to pass it on to a ghost and for a ghost to reciprocate it. 

Noticing the tears that had dropped on the letter in front of him, Ray wiped them away from his cheek with the palm of his hand. Before today, before this letter, Ray Molina had a lot of uncertainties about this relationship. What kind of person (ghost?) Luke was, what his intentions were, and how he could allow this behavior when he didn’t exist in the real world. 

That wasn’t the case anymore. If this letter wasn’t enough to show that, then the tears that were now blurring the messy black ink, would say it all. Ray stood up from his desk then, tears still brimming at his eyes. Luke had asked for his blessing, now he's on a mission to grant it wholeheartedly. 

But, what Ray Molina didn’t know as he walked out of his office, was that the ghost he was looking for had been behind in front of his desk the whole time, crying just as much as he was.

@jaynefray replied to your post: @jaynefray replied to your photo: @jaynefray 😂😂😂…

Thank you XD tho Qrow’s closeness to his family and traning with Ruby makes me think he THINKS he is bad luck charm rather than him actually being one. I mean he SAVED Rubes and Yang when they were attacked in the forest, he saved RNJR and Ironwood and brought Ruby back safe, and he kept RNJR safe during their trip. 

Like surely they’d be dead if he hadn’t cleared out that Grimm(which makes me kind of go ‘bad writing’ on creators when Jaune says ‘much help you are’ cuz like Jaune is the weakest link in that team at least this season, so like he’d be so dead if Qrow hasn’t tagged along and kept them safe. 

I understand we are supposed to stand with him because Pyrrha but like…if you make him call someone out on not being much of a help when that person’s been helping all along and he’d be dead without it…it makes him sound like ungratful little shit and the sympathy bc of Pyrrha goes out of the window, because at that moment  I was ‘fine, kid you can go and die’ like I have with lots of characters in horror movies. but back to bad luck. 

It also has been kind of badly played? because with Winter THEY ARE IN COURTYARD WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AROUND. PUBLIC PLACE OFC SOMEONE IS GONNA COME AND SEE WHAT THE COMMOTION IS ABOUT. Then there is the fight with Tyiran but like the building that falls at the start is far away  like really, really far away, and it doesn’t affect anything for the heros. It just a part of it that slides of, but other buildings are not affected, it’s background thing that does not harm nor affect anyone, so this is not really dengerous. 

and it’s also ruined town, that has been destroyed by grimm and left for about a decade or more unrenovated and the buildings seem to be wooden. big shock, it would start to fall, which is also a thing when something falls on Ruby. they are fighting in a ruined town, with buildings exposed to the elements for ten years, and they use heavy weapins and throw each other and stuff. things will fall down. the next istant mehtinks is the log falling of but again nothing happens it just rolls of. it doesn’t hit anyone, fall on anyone’s leg, doesn’t even ignate the grass. it just falls and goes down. plus agaon it can be explained away naturally. The logs are piled on each other and things like one falling off tend to happen, like if you burned some old leaves in your backgarden or had bonfire once or twice you know it happens. 

I think that Summer’s death is the thing that Qrow blames himself for but like..amongst all people that he knows and we met so far she is the only one. Tai and Raven have been on the team with him and they’re fine. He trained Ruby for years and during that time nothing happened, same with Yang. Glynda is alive, james…heck as I said he even saved James. and they are huntsmen and according to common sense in such showsm when you hunt monsters you die young, heck roman says it out loud to ruby ‘die like every huntsman in history’ it’s in the job description 'you have high risk of dying young’ so it’s really weak example and so far this is the only example we know of someone close to Qrow dying…well there is Ozpin but Ozpin kind of meddles like a meddling wizard and does a lot of stuff that have serious consequences  and in figt with tyrian Qrpw was legit the only one who got hurt..

so either his bad luck isn’s that strong, either it affects only him, either it’s bullcrap invented to make things edgy and emo because M/iles is inspired by Zack Snider or whoever is directing DC movies…:P 

Lol, that’s pretty much why the whole “bad luck” thing feels weird and inconsistent.

There’s no way Qrow would be allowed to be a teacher anywhere if he had a Semblance that would affect the students’s performance negatively.

Also, when it comes to Ruby, she doesn’t seem to have suffered any injuries or have experienced any unfortunate incidents while training with Qrow. Ozpin said that Crescent Rose is one of the deadliest weapons ever designed. You’d think that training with a bad luck charm would lead to extremely unfavorable outcomes.

And yet Ruby is incredibly skilled and talented with her weapon.

w h a t

A lot of people say Qrow suppresses his Semblance by drinking and that’s how he was able to train Ruby. But in all due honesty, there’s no actual provable indication that Aura is capable of being affected by stimulants or depressants.

Gee, it almost sounds like there are still important basics about a power system that could be explored in an expository spin-off that deals with information otherwise not presentable in the show due to time constraints and not have said spin-off waste time regurgitating information that was already established in the show.

*cough*WORLDOFREMNANT*cough*

As for Jaune, he also doesn’t get to belittle Qrow when Qrow actually succeeded in saving Ruby (and she also saved herself from Tyrian by severing his stinger) while Jaune engaged in an uncharacteristic display of defeat and inaction. 

So much for not wanting to be stuck in a tree while his friends risked their lives. 

What even is character development, lmao? M/iles and K/erry make Jaune look like such a useless and angsty hypocrite. It’s such a monumental disrespect to his character it makes me mad.

That whole spiel with Winter was just a deliberate attempt at making the Atlas military look bad. To what end, I don’t know. Maybe Qrow was just being a total douchebag. 

A video theorized that Qrow’s Semblance factored in the fight when Ironwood caught Winter about to skewer Qrow’s windpipe. I’m a little skeptical about that, though. And I’m fairly curious to see what M&K said on the commentary for the episode, since it would make me lean one way or the other depending on what they said.

As far as the “Qrow was involved in Summer’s death” thing is concerned, it sounds more like fanon than canon to me. Yang said Summer left for a mission and never came back. She never said that her mother left on a mission with Qrow. If Qrow had been involved, then the circumstances of Summer’s disappearance wouldn’t be such a mystery. 

Yang would know for sure Summer died rather than just say she’d disappeared. Qrow would’ve told her her mother had died, and even then he could have lied about the way she died to protect the secret of the Silver Eyes. “Killed by Grimm” is an extremely plausible scenario, anyone could believe it.

People are also convinced that Qrow was present at Summer’s death because of Qrow’s hallucinations induced by Tyrian’s poison. That isn’t really evidence of anything. It sounded more like Qrow remembering how he had to shake a distraught and despairing Taiyang into realizing Summer was never coming back.

Qrow can blame himself for not being there to save her, but he can’t blame himself for supplying bad luck he wasn’t there to supply.

Honestly, the whole “bad luck” thing is so inconsistent that it feels like a really unnecessary layer of angst to an already definitely-not-sunshine-and-bunnies type of character.

You’re right, it is  really edgy, lmao.
